![]() Since running out of gas was associated with the greatest number of fatalities for trained divers, we recommend that gas management rules should receive the greatest emphasis in cave diving courses. Untrained divers were more likely to have dived without a guideline, without appropriate number of lights, and/or without adequate gas for the planned dive. Compared with untrained divers, trained divers tended to be older, died at deeper depths and further inside caves, carried more cylinders of gas and more often died alone. Drowning was the most frequent cause of death, most often after running out of gas, which usually followed getting lost or starting the dive with insufficient gas. The number of deaths per year peaked in the mid-1970s and has diminished since. Safety rules breached were noted in each case. Only a small percentage of anchialine caves have been explored, much less scientifically studied, suggesting many new discoveries still wait.įatality records for American cave-diving fatalities (n = 368) occurring between 19 were examined and circumstances preceding each death categorized. Investigations of anchialine caves and their fauna by diving are a recent development so that much work remains. Chemoautotrophically based food webs have been identified providing food in the otherwise lightless and nutrient-limited cave environment. Some groups of anchialine fauna are found on opposite sides of oceans or even opposite sides of the Earth, and others have close relatives in the deep sea. A number of new higher taxa, e.g., class Remipedia and order Mictacea, exclusively occur in this habitat. A diverse, specially adapted fauna, dominated by crustaceans and other invertebrates, inhabit deeper, euhaline waters in anchialine caves. Use of specialized scientific cave-diving technology is essential to access this environment. They primarily occur on oceanic islands and some peninsulas with karstic limestone or volcanic terrain and include some of the longest explored caves on Earth. Efforts to develop preventative interventions to address these hazards should continue.Īnchialine caves are tidal, subterranean, inland habitats with a salinity-stratified water column and exchange of saltwater with the sea. An overwhelming majority of the fatalities occurred in the state of Florida where many flooded caves are located.Įven with improvements in technology, the greatest hazards faced by cave divers remain unchanged. The most common cause of death was asphyxia due to drowning, preceded by running out of breathing gas, usually after getting lost owing to a loss of visibility caused by suspended silt. Trained cave divers who died in the most recent time period were older but little else differed. Data regarding trained cave divers were divided into two equal 15-year time periods. While the annual number of cave diving fatalities has steadily fallen over the last three decades, from eight to less than three, the proportion of trained divers among those fatalities has doubled. Training status, safety rules violated, relevancy of the violations, and root causes leading to death were determined.Ī total of 161 divers who died were identified, 67 trained cave divers and 87 untrained. Reports of cave diving fatality cases occurring between 01 July 1985 and 30 June 2015 collected by Divers Alert Network were reviewed. Cave divers enter an inherently dangerous environment that often includes little visibility, maze-like passageways and a ceiling of rock that prevents a direct ascent to the surface in the event of a problem. ![]()

![]() MANDRAKE SYMBOLISM FULLIt is a feat full of the greatest danger to obtain it. Mandrake in the Codex Dioscurides Neapolitanus, an illuminated Greek manuscript created in the early 7th-century The plant, however, has great power, and whosoever is its possessor never more knows what it is to want money. It is an unsightly object to look at, and has broad, dark green leaves, with a single yellow flower. It is a well-known tradition near Magdeburg, that when a man who is a thief by inheritance,-that is to say, whose father and grandfather and great-grandfather before him, three generations of his family, have been thieves or whose mother has committed a theft, or been possessed with an intense longing to steal something at the time immediately preceding his birth it is the tradition that if such a man should be hanged, at the foot of the gallows whereon his last breath was exhaled will spring up a plant of hideous form known as the Alraun or Gallows Mannikin. Gibbings included a local anecdote (Magdeburg) about the Mandrake (Alraune in German): In his FOLK-LORE and LEGENDS – GERMANY (1892), W. These phantoms and shapes however, change their appearance and nature according to his emotions and gradually he is able to make his visions more light and pleasant. He also describes his worry about a light paralysis effect in his sacrum region, before the first hallucinations, of mostly dark nebula like shapes and phantoms occur. The tincture is most likely the only relative safe way to experiment with this herb, although Douval describes anxiety feelings due to an accelerated pulse, and it cost him a lot of effort to withhold himself from leaving his room and go out, shouting and doing silly things in public. Douval (pseudonym of Herbert Döhren – 1906-1975), describes two experiments with drops of mandrake tincture. In one of his works on practical magic ( Bücher der praktischen Magie, Band VII ), the German magician H.E. Hyperactivity and hallucinations also occurred in the majority of patients. Clinical reports of the effects of consumption of Mediterranean mandrake include severe symptoms similar to those of atropine poisoning, including blurred vision, dilation of the pupils (mydriasis), dryness of the mouth, difficulty in urinating, dizziness, headache, vomiting, blushing and a rapid heart rate (tachycardia). The alkaloid concentration varies between plant samples. Ingesting mandrake root is likely to have other adverse effects such as vomiting and diarrhoea. Anticholinergic properties can lead to asphyxiation. The alkaloids are concentrated in the root and leaves, poisonous, via anticholinergic, hallucinogenic, and hypnotic effects. All species of Mandragora contain highly biologically active alkaloids, tropane alkaloids in particular. The use of mandrakes for medical or hallucinogenic effects are not without danger. Mandrake tincture is most likely the only relative safe way to experiment with this herb. When the 31st day arrives, take out the root in the middle of the night and dry it in an oven heated with branches of verbena then wrap it up in a piece of a dead man’s winding-sheet and carry it with you everywhere.’ For 30 days, water it with cow’s milk in which three bats have been drowned. Cut off the ends of the root and bury it at night in some country churchyard in a dead man’s grave. Take it out of the ground on a Monday (the day of the moon), a little time after the vernal equinox. ‘Would you like to make a Mandragora, as powerful as the homunculus (little man in a bottle) so praised by Paracelsus? Then find a root of the plant called bryony. In his work The History and Practice of Magic, Jean-Baptiste Pitois writes: They have long been used in shamanistic rituals, and are still used today in contemporary pagan traditions as Wicca, Odinism and western occultism. A mandrake is the root of a plant, historically derived either from plants of the genus Mandragora found in the Mediterranean region, or from other species, such as Bryonia alba, the English mandrake, which have similar properties.īecause mandrakes contain deliriant hallucinogenic tropane alkaloids and the shape of their roots often resembles human figures, they have been associated with a variety of magical associations throughout history. ![]() ![]() Like New and In mint condition with only 296 Hours Everything looks.

![]() Doesn't quite work with phantasms or turrets since those disappear over time (same with other summons). The tactic behind using minions is that they don't have any recharge on their attacks. Other things I noticed, minions and clones seems to lose the 95% damage reduction, and it get Dynamic Damage Reduction even from every pulse of condition, but I may be wrong on that. Tried with minions, clones, phantasm and turrets all give the Manifestation of Self-Doubt the Dynamic Damage Reduction buff with every hit, add the fact it's only "vulnerable" for 2 seconds after a 600 point defiance bar, and, before you know it, all your skills get +80 seconds of recharge and you're basically unable to defeat it. Tried recently to complete the Fearless achievement with a friend, it's quite impossible right now. There's a few lines where she's gendered correctly ("You told her about the oath?"), but by and large it's wrong. The preceding unsigned comment was added by 135.23.32.213 ( talk). It kept referring to me as "he" and "him." I was alone, so no male characters with me, except maybe my sylvan hound, Bark. I just did this story for the first time. So anyway, can somebody check on the he/she and human/not-human things? Thanks in advance. (Seriously, Marjory even avoided saying her name earlier in the Season). Rytlock mentioning Logan just proves these aren't real insecurities, and Eir mentioning her death does the same. Rytlock's lines about Rox are crazy, and so are Eir's about Braham. This isn't the wiki's fault, I know, but. and the 'insecurities' make little sense. It really disrupted my immersion, to tell the truth. Could this instance be bugged? If so, the non-human reference remains, because we were both humans. My female human character launched the instance but I did have a male human with me as a guest. Throughout this instance, my human female character was constantly referred to as 'he' and 'him', and the line about not being human popped up as well. Faflard ( talk) 14:19, 14 January 2018 (UTC)Įdited the achievement section as described. There is a unique skill available to "cheer up" the instance laucher, that will make his/her skills recharge faster. However it is not exactly true that he/she is unable to help. I think this line should go to the Fearless and Fearful achievements where indeed the second player is teleported to the viewing platform. The second player appearance is changed into a shining blade agent but the skills stay the same and his/her kills count towards the achievement. I just did all these achievements (first tried solo then with an other player) and the second player (not the one who launched the instance) is able to help for the Precision Blade achievement. Regarding the achievement section, one line has been misplaced.

The accusation is based on Tarr’s disappearance after having been seen hanging around Mouse. At the same time Easy learns that his life long friend, Raymond “Mouse” Alexander, is missing but worse, the police are literally gunning for Mouse, who has been accused of the murder of a Pericles Tarr by Tarr’s wife. To Rawlins this means that Christmas, a “government-trained killer” first introduced in Cinnamon’s Kiss, was involved in something extraordinarily dangerous, for Christmas would never otherwise leave his adopted daughter in such a manner. While Easy was saving a friend’s daughter from a life of prostitution-and earn his $300 fee-Easter Dawn, the 8-year-old adopted Vietnamese daughter of Christmas Black is left on his doorstep without notice. She wait for a man who doesn’t have forgiveness in his heart.” Even Feather chastises him: “She waited for you to call…. Nor does his jealousy and stubbornness lessen over time, despite his unabated love for Bonnie, “the woman of life.” Easy refuses to call, Bonnie has no choice but to move on, and the next thing that happens, she calls Easy to tell him that she is marrying the prince. Easy’s jealousy and stubbornness are not abated in the least by the fact that Bonnie’s contact with the Prince being the access that got Easy’s beloved adopted daughter Feather into the special Swiss clinic that cured her from a blood disease that would have killed her, all as related in Cinnamon’s Kiss, the immediately previous Rawlins book. A year has passed since he threw her out of his house for her getting reacquainted with an African prince. Throughout the book, he is preoccupied about his lover Bonnie. The events of Blonde Faith are set in 1967. Anything is possible with Mosley and Rawlins. Just recall how Mama Jo’s “Louisiana magic” brought Mouse back to life from the seeming mortal wounds he suffered at the end of A Little Yellow Dog. However, what exactly happened to Easy will not be known definitively until either Mosley writes another Rawlins novel or makes a point blank pronouncement that Rawlins is dead. Without revealing specifics, Rawlins may have been killed by what happens to him at the end of Blonde Faith. In truth, the ending is somewhat Soprano-like. The publisher hereby puts everyone on notice that Easy Rawlins may not survive the events of Blonde Faith and that this book may mark the end of Mosley’s Easy Rawlins series, which now spans 10 novels and one collection of short stories. The promos for Walter Mosley’s latest Easy Rawlins’ novel, Blonde Faith, include an “ ecard” that reads as follows: I was thinking that I should call her and beg her to come home.” “And all the time, I was thinking about Bonnie.

With the exception of the lowly guard types, the enemies in Quake II redefine the term “bullet sponge”, with most taking a ridiculous amount of shots to defeat. However, what really slows down the pace of the game is the actual gun combat itself. Without it, however, the game appears blurry and feels quite sluggish in places, especially when there’s more than a few enemies on screen at the same time. Moreover, Quake II is one of the few N64 games that seems to actually run at a higher frame rate when using the RAM add-on. Set in a sci-fi universe, the varied alien environments are fully realised in 3D, and sport plenty of detail when the game is played using the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak. Stages are filled with a smorgasbord of deadly enemies, ranging from standard Strogg guards to mechanised hybrids that pack quite a wallop. That’s because the key focus in Quake II is fast-paced combat, or rather surviving it. In this regard, it’s similar to id’s earlier first-person shooter masterpiece, DOOM, in that mission objectives amount to little more than pressing a button here and picking up an item there. While GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark’s mission objectives often required you to explore an open environment and work out what to do, Quake II is much more linear. #Quake ii n64 seriesAcross a number of stages, you must complete a series of objectives while fending off numerous alien enemies with whatever weapons you can find. Therefore, it’s up to you to single-handedly take on the Strogg and put an end to their insidious plans. It’s a risky, yet daringly brilliant plan the only problem is that every single soldier sent on this exceedingly dangerous operation either gets captured or killed pretty much as soon as they arrive – well, that is except for you. In a desperate bid to save humanity, Earth sends hundreds of soldiers behind enemy lines to hit the Strogg where it hurts the most – their homeworld. Earth is under attack from an evil alien race known as the Strogg and there appears to be little hope of stopping them. Quake II’s single-player premise seems a little far-fetched, even by video game standards. The end result is a port that’s entertaining, well optimised for the system in terms of performance, but also has some issues which ultimately impact the enjoyment which can be had from it today. #Quake ii n64 fullWith it came finally the opportunity for four-player Quake on a home console in addition to a full single-player campaign, the latter of which is completely different from the original PC version. However, when it eventually arrived on N64 in 1998, it proved underwhelming, with one of its most notable shortcomings being that its multiplayer mode only allowed for a maximum of two players.Ī year later, its sequel Quake II (which by this point had already been available on PC for two years) was also ported to home systems courtesy of Raster Productions. One of its most famous titles, Quake, was released on the PC in 1996 and caused a huge stir with its full real-time rendered visuals and online multiplayer. Because of this, it can be easy to forget that there were in fact quite a few other first-person shooters on the system, including some that originated from the pioneer of the genre, id Software. It cannot be understated: GoldenEye 007 was a landmark home console game, and one which held many N64 owners’ attention for months, if not years. Perhaps more importantly though, it proved that the first-person shooter genre – which up until that point in time had more or less been reserved for the realm of PC gaming – could be done well on home consoles with the right approach. During the late 1990s, Rare’s Bond-themed masterpiece provided gamers with countless hours of single- and multiplayer fun, and because of this it is still fondly remembered by many to this day. When it comes to first-person shooter games on the Nintendo 64, there’s one title which stands out above all the rest: GoldenEye 007. ![]() |
