Readings from the Ancient Near East: Primary Sources for Old Testament StudyĪSH Magazine. No mention if fish is served during the celebration. It is said The Feast of Atargatis, is a strange but true surreal visionary adventure of psychic communications across time and space, of haunting past lives and the battle between a mermaid fish Goddess and a dark sea monster from another dimension. Some even celebrate the February 21 as the Feast day of Atargatis. Now Atargatis is used as a New Age symbol of fertility and wisdom. These fish were very well kept, had jewels on their head and were as affectionate as pets when they were approached by people from the town. Her close ties to the conservation of fish and water fertility explain why the ancient goddess was depicted as a mermaid. Fish were so sacred to her that in the Syrian town of Ascalon, people were forbidden from eating fish from a lake near Atargatis’s temple. Atargatis is considered to be Great Mother and Goddess of Fertility of the earth and water.ĭoves and fish were her sacred animals, doves symbolizing love and fish symbolizing that she was the fertility of the waters. She is also known as Derketo in Greek mythology and is thought to have been the inspiration for the worship of the Greek goddess Aphrodite. The worship of Atargatis began in ancient Assyria and spread as far as Rome and Greece. Instead she became half goddess, half fish, with a tail below the waist and human body above the waist. But her beauty was so great, that she never could fully become a fish. Out of guilt, the goddess flung herself into the ocean hoping to become a fish. And it seems no matter which culture mentions Atargatis her story is always the same.Ītargatis was in love with a human shepherd but accidentally killed him. From Syria to Greece references to a mermaid named Atargatis can be found. The Greek historian Diodorus Siculus referenced the mermaid myth in his Bibliotheca Historica (Universal history). Amman, Citadel Archaeological Museum Tyche or Atargatis, Nabatean Goddess of Fruits and Fertility It is is said to have taught the people social and religious practices. Though the story of El and Asherah are plentiful and easily accessible no mention of her is in the Bible though the spread of civilization in the ancient East is also attributed to Ashera. It is interesting to note that the above lines come from writing that will eventually make their way into the Old Testament. “Why has Lady Asherah-of-the-Sea arrived? to 49 A.D. Stories in ancient Canaan, (dates of which are hard to pin down) we find reference to a sea goddess who is clearly the consort of the god El.

Reaper's Call - Madly hack at foes in front of you, attacking them 4 times for Damage. Airborne foes are launched back into the air. Use the skill again to deliver 2 more thrusts for Damage. Piercing Blade - Perform 2 sharp thrusting attacks to inflict Damage. Spinning Dagger - Move 5 meters forward as you throw daggers around you to inflict Damage, then slash at foes upon landing for Damage. Spirit Catch - Perform a quick thrust forward to inflict Damage, then dart 4 meters in the same direction and deliver one final attack that knocks foes down for Damage. Use the skill again to deliver a powerful spinning blow, inflicting Damage. Shadow Vortex - Gather strength and pull foes to you, inflicting Damage. Move Speed +10% for 2s after teleportation. Use the skill again and teleport behind the hit target if there is no obstacle between you and the foe. Nightmare - Throw a dagger at the target location to inflict Damage. Dagger and Shadow skills are used to charge up Persona and Chaos Modes, and Swoop skills are heavily amplified by Persona- allowing the Reaper to unleash devastating attacks. The Reaper has three Skill categories Dagger, Shadow, and Swoop skills. Level 3 - Swoop Damage +160% instead of the Swoop Enhancement effect that stacks every 1s upon switching to Persona Mode. Level 2 - Swoop Damage +140% instead of the Swoop Enhancement effect that stacks every 1s upon switching to Persona Mode. Level 1 - Swoop Damage +120% instead of the Swoop Enhancement effect that stacks every 1s upon switching to Persona Mode. Lunar Voice is focused on landing huge Swoop attacks while in Persona Mode, granting immediate damage increases to Swoop instead of requiring stacks to be generated. The Hunger Class Engraving is focused around generating more Chaos Meter and dealing even more damage while in Chaos Mode. Like other Advanced Classes, the Reaper has two unique Class Engravings that enhance different aspects of the class. At the end of Chaos Mode, the Chaos Meter gets reset and reverts back to a full Persona Meter. If your Dagger Skills continuously hits a foe or if you use a Shadow Skill, the duration of Chaos Mode will be reset to 9s. The Reaper’s Class Identity is built around three Modes Normal Mode, Persona Mode, and Chaos Mode. ![]() If you're looking for a fast-paced and rewarding class to play, you found her. It has the best sound design out of any class I've played and constantly keeps you on your toes. The class is very unique in the way it moves and deals damage. Even with the game releasing in the West I still regularly played my Reapers. “Reaper was the first class that I picked up when I started playing Lost Ark about a year and a half ago. Before we dive into what the class is all about, here’s a note from Reaper expert Grenton on why the Reaper is his favorite class: In this Lost Ark Academy, you’ll find information to see if the Reaper is the class for you- and if so, help you start planning the skills and engravings you’re interested in using to enhance your impact on the battlefield. The Reaper will join the Deathblade and Shadowhunter as the third Assassin Advanced Class. ![]() ![]() ![]() Both types of inks are very lightfast and suitable for use on artworks that require permanence. Acrylic is waterproof but don't use it with alcohol markers. Ultimately, regardless of the ink you use, always test them first. If you want to use such inks with dip pens or brushes, it's better to get bottles that have a large opening unlike the tapered opening here.Īnd make sure to clean your dip pens and brushes immediately after use so that the ink doesn't form a thin coat which will make it difficult to clean and for the ink to flow for subsequent use. Yes, I did shake the bottle, well, I shook all three. Shellac is supposed to form a protective coat over the ink to make it waterproof but for some reason it doesn't work here. The shellac ink is a surprise because it's not waterproof. This bottle of Indian ink from Renesans is very water resistant. I sprayed this with a mist bottle and the water collected into droplets. The acrylic ink is completely waterproof. The shellac ink has sheen at areas where the ink is concentrated. This was with the Indian ink which is Sepia coloured. These are the sketches I drew with the three inks. Fast drying inks can be difficult to use with brush as the brush hair will become solid and when ink solidifies it's difficult to wash off completely. ![]() Some inks will dry with a sheen and that may affect the look you expect. The ink needs to be waterproof if you use water media, such as watercolour. Whether they are waterproof, are they matte when dry and how fast do they dry. There are certain things to test for when using such inks. They are also available in different colours, such as those available from Dr Ph Martin's. They can be used with dip pens and brushes. Ive googled the difference between acrylic paint. However Ive found raw sienna acrylic paint in 150 ml bottles for the same price as the much smaller ink bottle. Ive found economy size bottles of black and brown, but raw sienna ink only seems to be available in small 30 ml/1 fl. ![]() India ink is made with carbon or lamp black pigment (I'm referring to black ink) mixed with water, but sometimes with varnish, gelatin or varnish is added to make the ink more durable or waterproof when dry. My problem is sourcing ink at a reasonable price. It's waterproof but can be lifted off with alcohol so you don't use these with alcohol markers. It can be used with dip pens, brushes, airbrushes, markers and stamps. Think of it as the more fluid version of acrylic paint, and it can come in many colours. So what are the differences between acrylic ink and India ink? Is one better than the other? Better in what sense?Īcrylic ink is made with pigments suspended in acrylic resin binder or polymer emulsion.Īcrylic ink is more fluid and flows better. When I choose black inks, I only care whether they are waterproof or not since I use watercolour over ink, and whether they can be used in fountain pens since I use those pens often. There's Indian Ink, acrylic Ink and black ink with shellac. There's no 1 right way to do something here, everything is contextual so we need details to work with.These are bottles of ink I've received from Renesans, an art supplies manufacturer from Poland, during the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Amsterdam a few months ago. If you give some more details, like gun model/type, reducers/retarders/thinners you have available, and what you're wanting to spray, we can help better going forward. You might have better luck using actual brushes to apply if you're set on using them (I understand, you see this amazing color at the shop, or money is tight so use what you have).īut if your "3D Model" is wood based like some I've seen, then you're good to go just be aware of your low working time, don't fill the cup/reservoir all the way, and wash out brush regularly. As others have said, alcohol also has a very low working time, which is great for absorbent materials because you don't want bleeding(usually), but makes spraying, especially detail work where you're taking your time, unfeasible. Acrylic ink is more fluid and flows better. If you rough sanded the plastic you could get it to stay well enough, but it cannot be sanded over so it's going to be a PITA to get it smooth looking. So what are the differences between acrylic ink and India ink Is one better than the other Better in what sense Acrylic ink is made with pigments suspended in acrylic resin binder or polymer emulsion. Ph Martin's inks on some various projects(wood, paper, etc) and it works well on highly porous(therefore absorbent) material, not so much on non-porous(therefore dense and/or smooth). ![]() ![]() ![]() In 1940 he joined the army, after a period of out-patient treatment at Lewisham Hospial for back pain apparently caused by overdoing weightlifting at Ladywell Recreation Track in an effort to impress the women working at Catford Labour Exchange ('Spike Milligan' by Humphrey Carpenter). Do you remember the rhythm clubs? The Number One Rhythm Club-and the local one, at the Tiger’s Head at Lee?'. In a 1970 interview he recalled 'we used to go to the jazz sessions at the rhythm clubs. He played with local dance bands including the New Era Rhythm Boys and Tommy Brettell's New Ritz Revels in South London dance halls. ![]() He taught himself the ukulele, bass and trumpet and guitar ("My mother bought my first guitar for eighteen shillings from Len Stiles’ shop in Lewisham High Street") and took music classes at Goldsmiths in New Cross. ![]() Meanwhile he had won a crooning contest at the Lady Florence Institute in Deptford, come second in a talent show at Lewisham Hippodrome and sung at St Cyprians Church Hall in Brockley and Ladywell swimming baths. After being sacked from a tobacconist for stealing cigarettes he worked as a labourer at Woolwich Arsenal. In 1934 Milligan got a job at Stones' Engineering in Deptford (Arklow Road) and later worked at Chislehurst Laundry. In 1933 his family rented part of a house at 22 Gabriel Street, Honor Oak Park, later moving to 50 Riseldine Road nearby. As mentioned here before, he went to Brownhill Road School and then to St Saviours School in Lewisham High Road. Spike Milligan (1918-2002) was born in India but spent many of his formative years in South East London from the age of 12 in 1931. ![]() ![]() ![]()

In this case, Speedify will automatically fall back to using HTTPS. If you are in a location with a restrictive network, such as a library, hospital, or even a country with restrictive Internet, sometimes these connections will block Speedify from connecting over the normal TCP and UDP connections. ![]() If you fall into any of the cases above and you are not seeing good performance, try changing to UDP transport mode. For example, gaming, stock trading, Twitch streaming, etc. You are using applications that are sensitive to latency increases. You are located far away from the Speedify serverģ. Your Internet connection has high latency or packet lossĢ. TCP is often the most efficient and best performing protocol for Speedify, but there are some cases where you might want to try using UDP instead:ġ. If you have fast internet connection (i.e. Connections with high latency or packet loss.Ģ. Sometimes buying a better phone, router or modem just isn't an option, and that's when you really start to appreciate Speedify.1. Speedify has no problem using all three mobile operators at the same time, gracefully overcoming hundreds of dropped network connections every day without stumbling, and usually making it possible even to watch football. I found an ancient Android phone that I can tether to my laptop together with my iPhone, and then I use an old wi-fi router for the third 3G operator. Unfortunately, none of the three major 3G networks have good and stable coverage there. Fourth, my sister has a summer home in the countryside where I like to be in the spring and fall when she rarely goes there. With Speedify, the game never stops playing. It's no problem if it's much more expensive than the base connection, or only gives you a few gigabytes of extra data, because you can tell Speedify not to use it unless it has to. Third, I'm a great football (soccer) fan, and I really hate it when my connection drops at the most exciting moment of the game - and that's when it always happens, isn't it? With Speedify it's easy to add a backup connection without any considerable extra cost. One of my main video streaming services uses the ViewRight plugin from Verimatrix, and I just can't get it to work at all over 3G unless I use Speedify as lubricant. The Speedify website says this has to do with faster detection of lost network packets but my impression is that there are other optimizations too. Second, I use Speedify for streaming video also in my home country when I'm on a cellular connection, since many poor connections work much better with Speedify. I also use Speedify to check differences in search engine results and advertisements between countries, and to verify that our public website uses the right language depending on what country it is being accessed from. Since I mainly use it for streaming video I don't need the encryption of a VPN. I use and like that feature and I will write about it later in this review, but for me, Speedify is primarily a very fast and stable proxy server with a lower price than much of the competition. If you visit the Speedify website, you will learn a lot about their magic ability to split Internet traffic over two or more parallel Internet connections to increase speed.

These units in previous games are also often bound to use higher-ranking movesets that are equivalent to the generic officers and playable characters alike. In Dynasty Warriors 6, they appear similar to the catapult engineer, but use the club moveset and are seen heavily in the main camp and supply bases. In games as of Dynasty Warriors 4 and 5, the models for both Guards and Sergeants/Majors have been switched around. Their appearance is also used for Gate Soldiers, or can lead a unit of five, containing a Guard and four Privates. Guards also wear heavy armor, and usually wield spears or swords.
