INDEX NIMUE MASTER CLASS Section 1 Nimue Super Fluids Section 2 Nimue Thermal Detox Peel Section 3 Nimue Smart Resurfacer Section 4 Professional Consultation INDEX SECTION 1 NIMUE SUPER FLUIDS Part 1 Introduction to the Nimue Super Fluids Part 2 Nimue Super Fluids Ingredients and Products Part 3 Professional Treatments and Procedures Part 1 NIMUE SUPER FLUIDS Nimue Skin Technology has developed 6 Super Fluids which are compatible with all existing Nimue professional treatments and allows for complete customisation. The customisation trend is here to stay and some say this is the future of beauty. Clients are more informed about advanced skin care and demand tailor-made treatments to focus on their specific skin needs and concerns. They request products and treatments that can be manipulated to suit their changing daily and seasonal needs. These 6 super concentrated ingredient based fluids provide therapists with the opportunity to completely customise the professional treatment according to the client’s needs and enhance the overall treatment efficacy, taking it to the next level. Each of the Super Fluids are a super concentrate and high performance complex of a specific active ingredient. To ensure the even distribution of the actives into the skin, a unique, ultra-thin micro-capsule is used with each Super Fluid. This also enables cutaneous absorption of the actives, enhancing penetration. The 6 Nimue Super Fluids treats the following skin conditions:- 1. Retinol Super Fluid - fine lines, wrinkles and age spots 2. Vitamin C Super Fluid - hyperpigmented skin and a dull complexion 3. Prebiotic Super Fluid - problematic and acne prone skin 4.

He prefers to find peaceful solutions to problems rather than fighting. Arthur is able to appreciate the viewpoints of other people and this helps him to find other solutions. Merlin – Merlin is a legendary wizard of considerable intelligence and power. Merlin wants the best for the land of Britain but does not want to rule, knowing that a warrior is needed to unite the kingdom. Merlin was an advisor to King Uther Pendragon before advising King Arthur. Merlin was able to use magic to prove that Arthur was the king of the Britains. 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. Although she loves King Arthur, she grows to love Sir Lancelot. This betrayal of Arthur eventually leads to quarrels and fights amongst the knights of the round table and eventually ends Camelot. Sir Lancelot – Lancelot is the bravest and most skilled Knight of the Round Table. A talented swordsman and jouster, Lancelot is also Arthur’s greatest friend. When Lancelot falls in love with Guinevere, this leads to civil war and brings about the end of King Arthur’s kingdom.

  • 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.
