His concept was developed by a team of cosmetic scientists into a range of active skin treatments initially produced for the medical market. They found that dermal improvement before operations ensured dramatically improved healing and long-term results post operatively. The documented success of Nimue products in pre and post-operative dermal procedures resulted in the establishment of the Nimue Derma-cosmeceutical Skin Treatment Range. Nimue’s world-class formulations are based on exceptional ingredients, all of which are sourced from international accredited laboratories. Nimue scientists maintain high standards of quality performance to ensure that every product leaving the laboratories carries the same high standard of excellence customers have come to expect from Nimue.

Nimue’s philosophy is based on: 1. Nimue Derma-cosmeceutical Traditional Skincare vs New Generation Skincare Unique Nimue AHA Concept Transitional Period Professional Consultation 2. Four Treatment Principles Rejuvenation Restoration Anti-oxidation Sun Protection 3. Four Unique Skin Classifications Environmentally Damaged Skin Hyperpigmented Skin Problematic Skin Interactive Range 4. 3 Phase System (Nimue Skin Health Programme) Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 1.1 Nimue derma-cosmeceutical The term Derma-cosmeceutical describes the Nimue product and treatment range. Derma = dermal improvement Cosme = cosmetics (skincare products) Ceutical = pharmaceutical like benefits 10 section 1 | Nimue brand overview NIMUE PHILOSOPHY Traditional skincare vs new generation Traditional skincare New generation = = Cosmetics Derma-cosmeceuticals (Nimue) Skin Cleansing Skin Cleansing Soap based Acidic based Alkaline pH-strips skins natural acid mantle Restores skin health without any irritation Day and Night Care Day and Night Care Rich moisturisers create negative feedback cycle Re-educate the skin Skin loses ability to hydrate itself Skin hydrates itself Restricted to beautifying on superficial level Ability to heal and restructure the skin Active process to treat signs of damage Sun Protection Sun Protection Sunscreens high in chemical filters Synergistically formulated Harmful sun filters may cause irritation to the skin Provide optimum protection DNA protection Anti-ageing benefits No irritation Traditional skincare has minimal regard for the dramatic improvement of ageing skin and there is no natural stimulation of skin health with the main focus on protection and beautifying the skin. One of the skin conditions caused by external and internal factors is dehydration, which encourages the increased application of moisturisers. The facial area is the first to show the signs of ageing, and this has encouraged the development of rich skincare products with even higher moisture contents. However, these create a negative feedback cycle of dehydration - moisturisers - increased dehydration - richer moisturisers - even further dehydration. 1. Dehydration 4. Richer Moisturiser 2. Moisturiser 3. Increased Dehydration section 1 | Nimue brand overview 11 NIMUE PHILOSOPHY Rejuvenation vs anti-ageing Rejuvenation Anti-Ageing Active process Non-active process Rejuvenates skin (Structural dermal change) Slows down ageing (No dermal change) AHA’s and other active ingredients Mostly anti-oxidants Reversing and repairing existing damage Preventing and protecting Nimue AHA Concept Specific research based on the unique Triple Combination, Concentration (%) and Strength (pH) of AHA’s that facilitate the optimum dermal skin rejuvenation with minimal skin irritations. Triple Combination Concentration Strength Glycolic, Citric, Lactic % pH Transitional Period A Transitional Period may be experienced due to the structural and functional improvements caused by the active ingredients in the Nimue Skin Treatment Range. When starting with Nimue Skincare Products the skin may experience certain symptoms known as the Transitional Period which may appear as dryness or breakouts. This is a temporary condition and with perseverance, the skin will improve. Professional Consultation A detailed Professional Consultation and completion of data on the prescribed Nimue Client Consultation Form is a prerequisite to a successful skin health programme. The main objective of the consultation is compiling as much information about the client as possible, allowing the Skin Treatment Professional to make a diagnosis from a greater knowledge base. It is important to establish the cause and effect of the client’s skin condition and not to treat according to the symptoms only. Relate this to the effect it has on the structure and function of the skin and set a Treatment Programme for Home care and Professional Treatments in the clinic, ensuring clients understand the Nimue Skin Health Programme. 12 section 1 | Nimue brand overview NIMUE PHILOSOPHY Nimue’s four treatment principles The Nimue Derma-cosmeceutical Skin Treatment Range is based on Four Treatment Principles. Active ingredients facilitate the requirements of each principle. Unlike other products that claim to ensure a youthful appearance, it is now possible to reverse the signs of ageing skin by treating the cause and not only the symptom with Four Nimue Principles! Rejuvenation - ingredients that accelerate or stimulate a physiological function and create structural improvement in the skin Restoration - ingredients that restore the imbalance of a physiological function. Anti-oxidation - ingredients that inhibit or neutralize the effect of free radicals Sun protection - sunscreens and advanced ingredients that will reduce or prevent the harmful effects of UV rays ensuring improvement of overall skin Four unique skin classifications Nimue offers sound solutions for specific problems in different skin conditions. As a result, these products differentiate themselves as a scientific Derma-cosmeceutical line for a dramatic improvement of all skin classifications: the environmentally-/sun-damaged,

Later, he was able to communicate with people from another world and provide Arthur with the magical sword, Excalibur. Merlin looks like an old man with a flowing white beard. Queen Guinevere – Guinevere is the wife of King Arthur. Her name means “The White Enchantress” or “The White Ghost”; a name given to her because of her pale white skin.

  • Merlin As Ubiquitous Experience Val Derbyshire
    Merlin as Ubiquitous Experience Val Derbyshire t is one of the mage’s many ironies that the man whose surpassing powers conventionally depend upon separateness, and who is most often conceived as an old man supposedly beyond sexual blandishment, should in the end fall I victim to the love service that ennobles the Round Table society he helped to build. How did the autoerotic dynamic of Camelot come to be motivated and embodied in Merlin? (Goodrich 94). Close your eyes. Picture Merlin in your head. In the darkness behind your eyelids the pictures spring out vividly, just as they do for Merlin himself in the first stanzas of Karl O’Hanlon’s beautifully evocative poem, Brocéliande. In my imagination, Merlin is old; so very old. He has long silvery white hair and a long silvery white beard. He is wearing a robe of midnight blue (possibly embroidered with silver moons and stars, to simultaneously illustrate his mysticism and match his silver beard). I am not original. The Merlin I see is ubiquitous. He’s been that way since at least the 13th century. A quick search on Wikipedia or Google Images will prove this. 13th century illustration of The Enchanter Merlin by Merlin for Merlin by Robert de Howard Pyle from The Story of Boron. (“Merlin” Wikipedia). King Arthur and His Knights (1903) (“Merlin”, Wikipedia) It is difficult, as Peter Goodrich argues in his essay “The Erotic Merlin” to imagine this bearded geriatric as a locus for erotic imaginings. 30 Yet Merlin’s downfall in popular legend, and as it is related in O’Hanlon’s verses, is a tale of devastating sexual longing and thwarted desire.

Foley, Ph.D., Thesis Adviser Assistant Professor of English Luis Iglesias, Ph.D., Chair Department of English Ellen Weinauer, Ph.D., Dean Honors College ii Abstract Although Arthurian Romance is a genre often thought to provide a somewhat idealized portrayal of the relationship between the sexes, there are a surprising number of instances of sexual assault represented in Middle English texts. In a genre styled towards women, it is appropriate to consider what cultural or social function the representations of such episodes serve.

Short Essay Questions. The author converged history with myth, bringing new life into the old tale with a fresh take upon Arthur. Eventually, his fractured kingdom is invaded by the Irish king of Lleyn, Diwrnach. Arthur and his army, carrying Gwydre's banner, travel the sea to Dumnonia but, before they can escape her, Nimue catches up with them. Although Guinevere admits that it wasn't what she wanted for herself and Arthur, she wanted to be with Arthur. While Excalibur had its fair share of tragedy to say the least, it was also complete with moments of bitter satisfaction, that softened the blow slightly, but not enough to stem the tears….

On the surface, OUAT is a television show that constantly challenges the culturally-ingrained gender norms often found in fairy tales, as it creates new storylines for traditional fairy tales. This warrants a deeper examination of the series to understand if and how it is subverting these typical gender norms. To fully understand how gender operates in OUAT, I examined how gender affects and is affected by hegemony in the show and how this relates to our cultural understanding of gender and power.

  • Knights Pen of the Year 2021
    PRESSEINFORMATION · PRESS RELEASE COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE · COMUNICADO DE PRENSA INFORMAÇOES PARA A IMPRENSA Knights Pen of the Year 2021 King Arthur, the Holy Grail, the Excalibur sword: words and terms that immediately transport you into a world of adventures and battles, of legends and stories, of virtue and bravery. This legendary realm of knights, which can so wonderfully fire the imagination, inspired Graf von Faber-Castell to create the Pen of the Year 2021. Every year since 2003, the Graf von Faber-Castell Collection has presented the Pen of the Year, a fountain pen made of particularly exquisite materials. As limited editions, each one tells of eras and peoples whose deeds have had a decisive influence on the development of mankind and its culture. The fact that the Pen of the Year 2021 is now dedicated to the heroes of the Middle Ages is also related to the history of Faber-Castell itself. The company, which was founded exactly 260 years ago, owes its unmistakable identity to its noble name and centuries of tradition, in which the Counts and Lords of Castell defended knightly virtues such as bravery and care for their subjects. The symbol of this is the characteristic Faber-Castell motif with the two fighting knights who are wielding pencils instead of lances. Chivalry: a virtue in great demand Heroism, generosity, courtesy: these are the core values that the knights of the Middle Ages cultivated and which they put above all else. The childhood of a knight ended early: young noblemen who were chosen for this career became pages for the families of knights or on larger farms at the age of seven.

  • Excalibur Rises
    Excalibur Rises Vivian stood on the shores of Avalon and watched the dragon-headed prow of the boat break through the mist into the warm sunshine. She could see the cloaked figure gazing out towards her and she waved. Mer- lin. He didn’t make social calls, so he must need something. A flutter of worry passed through her. A long wooden jetty ran out into the lake, and as the boat docked, Vivian strolled along it. The boat had barely stopped moving when Mer- lin leapt ashore, and he hurried to meet her. He never changed. His hair was long and unkempt, his long beard straggled over his chest, and his worn grey cloak flapped around him. His sharp blue eyes appraised her. “Vivian, my dear. You look radi- ant. This place is suiting you.” She smiled and hugged him. He was taller than her, and he stooped as his arms wrapped around her. “Thank you,” she said. “And you look excited, Merlin. You’re up to something.” He straightened up, looking affronted. “You make it sound suspi- cious. I can assure you, this is all for the good of Britain.” Vivian stepped back, her suspicions confirmed. “I sense I will be dragged into whatever it is. You better come in.” 1 2 TJ Green She led Merlin to the long, low stone building that sat a short dis- tance from the lake shore. The Sanctuary of the Goddess. It glowed in the late afternoon sun, and the light reflected off the windows, so that it appeared to blink like a lazy cat.
