1/30/2024 0 Comments Silkroad online 2 review 2015![]() It grew fabulously rich on the profits of the China trade and the tribute of an empire that extended southwards from Afghanistan to Egypt and the gates of Byzantium. Yet in the 10th century, while Europe was paralysed by Viking raids, Merv was a flourishing Silk Route capital, and the second city of Islam, trumped only by Baghdad with its 100 million citizens. On one side a forest of smokestacks belches fumes into the desert on the other a spread of barren collective farms extend towards the encroaching dunes: “If you meet a viper and a Mervi,” advises a local proverb, “kill the Mervi first, and the viper afterwards.” Traditionally, of course, it is a part of the world that rarely figures in Eurocentric histories: who, for example, now remembers those Turkish converts to Judaism, the Khazars, who dominated the trade and culture of the steppes from the 8th to the 10th century, when they were finally and savagely wiped out by the Rus Vikings, who after spilling “rivers of blood” and plundering the Khazar capital Atil were “gorged on loot and worn out with raiding”? Equally, how many of us recall the legendary greatness of the Seljuk sultans of Merv? The ruins of their once magnificent capital lie now amid the camel-coloured wastes of Turkmenistan: a scatter of mud walls, a few ambiguous foundations, the odd cracked dome of a mud-brick Sufi tomb forgotten on the outer edge of a polluted and provincial post-Soviet town. But he throws his net wider still, showing how the belt of territory between China and Constantinople was for much of history the centre of the world, and a place from which we drew so much of what has come to be regarded as “western civilisation”. ![]() Runciman’s great insight was that the real heirs of Roman civilisation were not the crude chain-mailed knights of the rural west, but instead the sophisticated Byzantines of Constantinople and the cultivated Arabs of Damascus, both of whom had preserved the Hellenised urban tradition of antiquity long after it was destroyed in Europe: “Our civilisation,” he wrote, “has grown … out of the long sequence of interaction and fusion between Orient and Occident.” Frankopan shares Runciman’s love of the rich, cosmopolitan cultures of the eastern Mediterranean, and the way they seeded so many of the great ideas of the west – it was here, he writes, quoting the historian Sallust, that “Roman soldiers came of age: learned how to make love, to be drunk, to enjoy statues, pictures and art”. Frankopan’s 650-page tome on the subject takes some of the most fascinating of Von Richthofen’s ideas and cross-fertilises them with those of Runciman to spectacular effect. He used it to describe the trading routes that first linked China with the Mediterranean west, which he realised formed one of history’s great spaces of cultural transfer, economic change and intellectual fusion. The concept of a “Silk Road” is not an ancient one: it was first coined only in the late 19th century by the Prussian geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen, a cousin of the first world war flying ace the Red Baron. Like Runciman, Frankopan is a multilingual Byzantinist whose first books were about the crusades now he has taken on an even larger and more daunting chunk of history – nothing less than a history of the world, seen through the timely lens of east-west interaction. ![]() Runciman died 15 years ago, but he would greatly have approved of Peter Frankopan, the brilliant and fearlessly wide-ranging young Oxford historian who is in many ways the true heir to his mantle. One of the tragedies of our time is that it is no longer considered relevant to write history well.” In the preface of his three-volume masterpiece, A History of the Crusades, Runciman threw down the gauntlet to his more workaday rivals: “I believe that the supreme duty of the historian is to write history, to attempt to record in one sweeping sequence the greater events and movements that have swayed the destinies of man.” But perhaps his most undonnish quality was his wish – and ability – to write wide-ranging books about big subjects and to do so in beautifully honed prose for a general audience, something that is still rare, but which in 1954 seemed a radical departure from the academic norm: “When Gibbon or Macaulay were writing,” Runciman told me, “the publication of one of their volumes was a great literary event.

Ameonna reveals to have known about Oyabun's identity and was setting everything up so Kamiko would die. He then travels to Mamushi's former office, while Wang returns to Ameonna. Mezu reveals to be the Oyabun, leader of the Yakuza and father of Kamiko. Wang then returns to Gozu informing about the situation.Īmeonna reveals that Kamiko's father should be in the vicinity of Outer Gates. After a tough fight, the body tries to escape, but is captured by ZillaCorps. Wang travels to the top of Devil Mountain, where the body has been feeding on Black Rain and has mutated even more. Gozu informs Lo Wang that they have located Kamiko's body and marks the last known whereabouts. After a brief talk, Mamushi takes her own life and Wang brings the ceremonial dagger to Ameonna. With this information, Wang seeks out Mamushi. Kamiko reveals that Mamushi Helka carries around a wakizashi given by her father. In order to perform soul joining ritual Ameonna needs Ancestral Chi, that can be found in a weapon that belonged to Kamiko's father. When Wang meets Ameonna he asks her to reverse the soul binding, but first must retrieve Kamiko's body and return it to its original form. He meets Gozu guarding the entrance to the temple, which let's him in. Suddenly, Ameonna contacts him and urges Wang to meet her in Shadow Hills. After a tough fight, the corrupted body escapes. As Wang goes to administer the cure to Kamiko's body, the body attacks him being now horribly mutated. In his last dying moments, Smith puts his soul in a Soul Well. When Wang reaches Smith who was gravely injured during battle, he reveals that he has finished the cure. ![]() Lo Wang is transported to wildlands and tries to reach Dragon Mountain, encountering huge forces of ZillaCorps. Wang is then contacted by Master Smith asking him to go back to the mountain as ZillaCorps have attacked it. Wang finds Mezu still guarding the gates as before. The source for the black ooze turns out to be the Outer Gates with Mezu's armor holding them locked. She gives Wang the coordinates to the location of the supposed source. ![]() In the meantime, Mamushi Helka tasks Lo Wang with finding the source of black ooze that is spreading in the wildlands. Lo Wang then retrieves the ingredients needed to make the cure for Smith. Smith decides to transfer Kamiko's soul into Wang's body until he figures how to heal her body. Eventually, Wang reaches Kamiko and brings her to Smith. Wang then reveals his presence and the Twins run off to catch him while huge forces of ZillaCorps soldiers attack. The Twins inject Kamiko with compound 61 and she begins to hallucinate. He finds Kamiko tied to a table with Kyokagami Twins inside the room and Zilla watching her through a monitor. After speaking to Mamushi, the second in command of Yakuza, he gets a new task to rescue Kamiko, Yakuza's leaders daughter from Zilla's labs.

Killing enemies will level up weapons and reward the player with gems to augment their equipment with element properties and buffs. The game features over 70 different weapons, varying between firearms and blades. The game utilizes a procedural damage system that allows players to cut and blow off enemy limbs and body parts. Every mission, except for story-specific events, will feature procedurally generated level design and content, including randomized enemy positions, terrain, buildings, and weather conditions. The game features a hub area where the player can acquire quests and upgrade their abilities before beginning a mission. Mission structure in Shadow Warrior 2 is less restricted than its predecessor, players can now revisit earlier missions to re-engage past enemies in order to upgrade Wang's skills. New traversal mechanics have been added such as climbing walls and double jumping to allow for more exploration. The level environments are more open and non-linear than in the previous title. In co-op mode, each player experiences the narrative as Lo Wang but sees other players as different anonymous ninjas. Shadow Warrior 2 can be played in single-player mode or in a new 4-player co-op mode. 1/30/2024 0 Comments Insomnia cures![]() Time in bed is limited to align with the patient’s sleep duration. Sleep restriction – The aim of sleep restriction is to increase sleep drive and reduce time awake in bed. Cognitive and behavioural components of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia Neurodegenerative conditions (eg Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease)īox 2.Alcohol – determine frequency and amount relative to bedtime.Protein, meal/weight replacement shakes.Caffeine – determine frequency and ingestion relative to bedtime given caffeine’s long half-life.Adrenergic agonists (eg salbutamol, dexamphetamine, methylphenidate).Personality disorders such as narcissistic and borderline.Comorbidities and risk factors associated with insomnia Sleep restriction can be used to increase sleep pressure in lieu of the sedating properties of hypnotics, though this may worsen daytime sleepiness, particularly when combined with medications with a long half-life.īox 1. 11 Consultation by a sleep specialist may be necessary to investigate and treat sleep comorbidities that may co-exist or mimic insomnia (refer to Box 1). ![]() 10 Sleep restriction in patients with sleep apnoea should be used judiciously given that it can worsen daytime sleepiness and vigilance. The possibility of manic states precipitated by sleep restriction in patients with bipolar illness has been raised, and one study found CBT-I resulted in mild increases in hypomania. Stand-alone CBT-I is safe and well tolerated by a large number of clinical populations. 7 Improvements in sleep have also been observed in patients prescribed CBT‑I in combination with temazepam 8 and zolpidem 9 however, sleep improvements are better maintained in patients who are not medicated. 6 Unlike hypnotics, improvements in sleep following CBT‑I are maintained after treatment cessation for up to three years. Meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) shows unequivocally that CBT-I reduces sleep onset latency and nocturnal arousals while improving sleep efficiency (ie the length of time asleep relative to the amount of time spent in bed), with effect sizes comparable in magnitude to hypnotics such as benzodiazepines and non-benzodiazepines. Invariably, CBT-I includes all of these components, delivered over several sessions by a psychologist or trained healthcare professional. 5 However, patients prescribed medications for short-term use require close monitoring for medication dependence, psychiatric status, unproductive sleep-specific coping strategies and maladaptive cognitions, as well as the severity of stressors, as these factors may precipitate and perpetuate insomnia.Ĭognitive behavioural therapy for insomniaĬBT-I refers to a range of evidence-based techniques packaged into a multiple-session treatment that includes behavioural and cognitive strategies (Box 2). Patients presenting with acute symptoms of insomnia may benefit from short-term medication in concert with sleep hygiene education. The Australasian Sleep Association (ASA) 1, American Academy of Sleep Medicine 2, American College of Physicians 3 and European Sleep Research Society 4 all recommend cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) as the first-line treatment for patients with insomnia disorder. Both pharmacologic and psychological interventions are indicated for the treatment of insomnia disorder however, selecting the right treatment is dependent on the chronicity of symptoms, with medical and psychiatric factors taken into account. Insomnia disorder is characterised by inadequate sleep despite adequate sleep opportunity, accompanied by daytime dysfunction. 1/30/2024 0 Comments Change order of albums in jalbumUse drag-and drop to add new photos and videos.
The I'll love you through a brick wall kiss. But one kiss levitates above all the others. Place it on the tongue's pillow, then look up the first recorded kiss in an encyclopedia: beneath a Babylonian olive tree in 1200 B.C. Hold it to your chest and wonder if the sand inside hourglasses comes from a special beach. It'll turn bright pink and explode into a thousand luscious splinters, but in the morning it'll be ashamed and sneak out of your body without saying good-bye, and you'll remember that kiss forever by all the little cuts it left on the inside of your mouth. It'll get suspicious and stare at your toes. Now what? Don't invite the kiss over and answer the door in your underwear. Rub two warm feelings and presto-you have a kiss. Oh where does one find love? If you rub two glances, you get a smile. If you were younger, you'd pull over, slide open the mouth's red door just to see how it fits. You'll be driving home and see a damaged kiss on the side of the road, with its purple thumb out. ![]() The I know your tongue like the back of my hand kiss. ![]() The I accept your apology, but you make me really mad sometimes kiss. The bury me in an avalanche of tingles kiss. So where does one find love? When you're sixteen it's easy, like being unleashed with a credit card in a department store of kisses. Husbands and wives don't grow on trees, like in the old days. Most drunks don’t die in accidents they orchestrate, and I swallowed a hand grenade that never stops exploding. But at this moment when sweat tingles from me, and blame is as meaningless as shooting up a cow with milk, I realise my kisses filled the halls of your body with smoke, and the lies came like a season. The man in charge of what crosses my mind will lose fingernails, for not turning you away at the border. Your body is the country I’ll never return to. Once I kissed the scar, stretching its sealed eyelid along your inner arm, dried raining strands of hair, full of pheromones, discovered all your idiosyncratic passageways, so I’d know where to run when the cops came. ![]() It isn’t as simple as me climbing into the window to leave six ounces of orange juice and a doughnut by the bed, or me becoming the sand you dug your toes in, on the beach, when you wished to hide them from the sun and the fixed eyes of strangers, and your breath broke in waves over my earlobe, splashing through my head, spilling out over the opposite lobe, and my first poems under your door in the unshaven light of dawn: Your eyes remind me of a brick wall about to be hammered by a drunk driver. Mathematicians still don’t understand the ball our hands made, or how your electrocuted grandparents made it possible for you to light my cigarettes with your eyes. 1/29/2024 0 Comments Quiver datingQuivers's voice is often joked about on the Howard Stern show as being condescending and "snooty."
