This is an informed-consent document that has been prepared to help inform you concerning liposuction surgery (suction-assisted lipectomy and ultrasound-assisted lipectomy), its risks, and alternative treatment.
It is important that you read this information carefully and completely. Please initial each page, indicating that you have read the page and sign the consent for surgery as proposed by your plastic surgeon and agreed upon by you.
Liposuction is a surgical technique to remove unwanted deposits of fat from specific areas of the body, including the face and neck, upper arms, trunk, abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs, and the knees, calves and ankles. This is not a substitute for weight reduction, but a method for removing localized deposits of fatty tissue that do not respond to diet or exercise. Liposuction may be performed as a primary procedure for body contouring or combined with other surgical techniques such as facelift, abdominoplasty, or thigh lift procedures to tighten loose skin and supporting structures.
The best candidates for liposuction are individuals of relatively normal weight who have excess fat in particular body areas. Having firm, elastic skin will result in a better final contour after liposuction. Skin that has diminished tone due to stretch marks, weight loss, or natural aging will not reshape itself to the new contours and may require additional surgical techniques to remove and tighten excess skin. Body-contour irregularities due to structures other than fat cannot be improved by this technique. Liposuction by itself will not improve areas of dimpled skin known as "cellulite."
Suction-assisted lipectomy surgery is performed by using a hollow metal surgical instrument known as a cannula that is inserted through small skin incision(s) and is passed back and forth through the area of fatty deposit. The cannula is attached to a vacuum source, which provides the suction needed to remove the fatty tissue.
In some situations, a special cannula may be used that emits ultrasonic energy to break down fatty deposits. This technique is known as ultrasound-assisted lipectomy. Depending on your needs, your surgeon may recommend suction-assisted lipectomy alone, or in combination with ultrasound-assisted lipectomy.
There are a variety of different techniques used by plastic surgeons for liposuction and care following surgery. Liposuction may be performed under local or general anesthesia. Tumescent liposuction technique involves the infiltration of fluid containing dilute local anesthetic and epinephrine into areas of fatty deposits. This technique can reduce discomfort at the time of surgery, blood loss, and post-operative bruising.
Support garments and dressings are worn to control swelling and promote healing. Your surgeon may recommend that you make arrangements to donate a unit of your own blood that would be used if a blood transfusion were necessary after surgery.
Alternative forms of management consist of not treating the areas of fatty deposits. Diet and exercise regimens may be of benefit in the overall reduction of excess body fat. Direct removal of excess skin and fatty tissue may be necessary in addition to liposuction in some patients. Risks and potential complications are associated with alternative surgical forms of treatment

Really old-fashioned fun at Renaissance Faire
The Door County Renaissance Fantasy Faire is back for a fifth year, featuring two weekends of royal promenades, jousting, feasting and more really old-time family fun.
The Faire, like others held across the country, is an adventurous trip back in time — way back, to the England of the mid-16th century, with costumed performers and artisans showing what life was like in those days. Unlike some other Renaissance festivals, this one is more family friendly, lacking the bawdiness and double-meaning banter seen and heard elsewhere. The goal is that both children and adults learn something about the Renaissance days through what Faire organizers call "edu-tainment." In the spirit of giving back to the community, many of the vendors and performers are raising funds for local nonprofits. Organizers said their main focus is to reach out to families and disadvantaged or at-risk youth, particularly those without families in foster care or those in the juvenile court system, to mentor and influence them with positive role models.
The highlights of most of these types of festivals are usually the jousting tournaments and the entrances of the Royal Court.
Have Court, Will Travel's King Edward, Queen Catherine and her Royal Court return to the lush, tree-filled shire of Enchanted (just north of Carlsville), along with knights, lords and ladies, jousters and jesters, fire jugglers, belly dancers, minstrels, faeries and dragons, ale tankards and turkey legs, sword makers and silk artists. The court will reign over the opening and closing of the gates, bestow knighthoods on those who are true at heart and attend to the young lasses and their lords.
Cavallo Equestrian Arts returns to show its breathtaking technical expertise and timeless re-enactment in jousting tournaments. For decades this Italian family has re-created historical equestrian martial arts, performing nationwide in festivals and Hollywood film productions. Also, gypsy equestrian acrobats Ma'Ceo rekindle the age-old fellowship of man and horse.
Entertainment is at several stages and the jousting field, and most of the fun has a learning component. Guests can enter interactive encampments: one focusing on 16th-century siege weaponry, cooking, map making, medicine and board games; the other, Gaelic Vikings Clan Gunn, on Celtic weapons, where children can try them (with padding, of course).
Demonstrations will range from blacksmithing, pewter work, glass blowing, leather crafting, spinning and weaving to games, weaponry, dress, acting and music of the period. The Hunting and Hounds presentation looks at hunting waepons of the time and how the greyhound, Irish wolfhound and otterhound were so valuable to hunters. Knights will teach young "squires" animal husbandry and the secrets of knighthood, while young girls learn the arts of graceful curtsies and teatime service to become ladies in waiting in the queen's Royal Court.
Entertainers include the fire comedy show of The Rogue Flames; the "classy, not classical" music of Dorkestra; the magic of Jaco the Magician; a "snake oil salesman" medicine show from Late Mountebank and the Wonder Elixir of Life; justice handed down by Lord Marshall Law; songs and juggling by Giffaigh and Mick; excerpts from Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors" by the St. Anthony Guild Players; Faerie Fern; Pirates in the Harbor; and the popular Baron of Bubble.
New acts this year include the spells and magic of Midnight University, a College of Wizards; Lord Drake's Mystic Magic Show; the storytelling of Wildflower; Gaelic music from the maidens of Teaghlach; and the Nava Mirage Belly Dancers.
The Door County Renaissance Fantasy Faire takes place June 28 and 29 and July 5 and 6 at 5526 Monument Point Road, one-half mile east of Wisconsin 42, just north of Carlsville. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays. The Faire is open rain or shine. No pets are allowed on the grounds.
Tickets are $12 for ages 15 through 59, $10 seniors and ages 5 through 15 at the gate; cash only. Admission is free to active or retired military personnel with proper identification. Parking is free, and no pets are allowed.
For more information, call (920) 746-6773 or go to www.doorcowirenaissance.com or facebook.com/RenaissanceFaire.

Instrument of Designation of the Republic of Nauru as a Regional Processing Country
MOTIONS - Instrument of Designation of the Republic of Nauru as a Regional Processing Country
Senator RHIANNON (New South Wales) (10:55) 12 September 2012:
I rise to support the comments of my colleagues on this issue, and I congratulate senators Sarah Hanson-Young and Christine Milne for the extensive work that they have done on this quite extraordinary situation that Australia finds itself in at the moment. There have been so many aspects of it that have troubled us deeply, and I acknowledge there are so many people working very hard to bring some decency to how we treat refugees in Australia. Many aspects have been taken up by the Greens, and my colleagues have pointed out very clearly how far we have moved away from our international responsibilities. We have abandoned the rule of law and-something that is particularly disturbing and back in the news today-we have abandoned the principle that the minister is the guardian of unaccompanied children.
To read that the government is on the point of sending women and children, including unaccompanied minors, to Nauru and Manus Island marks another shocking day in this saga that the Labor government have made so much worse. They could have worked with the Greens when we came up with a humane position that honours our international obligations and gives assistance to people who have been through such terrible times. I have had the opportunity to visit Villawood Detention Centre, where I met with many people who have told me the stories of why they left their countries. In all the aspects of the debate, one that I find most disturbing is when senators from the other parties doubt why people leave their countries and make out that this is done for frivolous reasons-just coming to Australia to get a better life. The people from Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Iran that I have met tell harrowing stories that would break your heart. Many of them have lost loved ones along the way or are now separated from their loved ones, and they do not know how long they will be apart.
A big part of this story is that we are handing over the running of these detention centres to Transfield Services. There is a big question mark over this company and how it operates; it really needs to have more of a spotlight put on to it. It is interesting that over the last decade this company's financial standing has not been really good, whereas Serco Australia, the division of the British multinational that runs most of Australia's current detention centres, reported a 45 per cent rise in net profits to $59 million last year. The revenue of that company almost doubled from $369 million $693 million-that is what Serco Australia has picked up. What do we know about Transfield Services? It is part of a sweep of companies and it is often hard to distinguish between them. There are Transfield Holdings, Transfield Services, Transfield Corporate, Transfield Pty Limited and numerous partnerships in a whole number of projects. What you find out when you start to look at them is that they have no experience in running detention centres-very little experience in running any facilities. The bulk of their work is in construction, so I thought it was necessary to look at aspects of some of the work that they have undertaken. The company have a bus project in Adelaide. They are that city's largest bus operator, and they were actually fined by the South Australian government when it was found that on the north-south route the buses were late nearly 50 per cent of the time. They were fined $120,000 because of that, and their performance was criticised by both the government and the opposition. This is a bit of theme that you start to see when you look at Transfield: their operations do not live up to the promises that are made or the contracts that they have signed. Sometimes they are a bit loose with their own paperwork. In New South Wales this company has been successful in winning contracts from successive Labor and coalition governments.
The company have a long history going back to the 1980s. The Perisher Skitube Joint Venture was established. Then the Sydney Harbour Tunnel contract was awarded, another joint venture. Interestingly, on the eve of the Labor government going out of office, when everybody knew that their days were over, the Keneally government awarded Transfield Services a $450 million contract to undertake facilities management and cleaning services in public schools, TAFE buildings and other government facilities from the Hunter to the north-west Sydney suburbs-that is a huge contract. In the late 1990s, Transfield was a senior partner in the very controversial $650 million Walsh Bay development in Sydney, which saw the privatisation of a considerable public space.
In 2010, we saw Transfield again run into some problems. They looked to expand their operations with the New South Wales government, applying to that government for a $350 million wind farm. To undertake that they had to put in with their submission some paperwork about their political donations, and they failed to notify details of those donations. There was a donation that they had made to go to a dinner with the then Labor Treasurer, Mr Eric Roozendaal, which they were totally allowed to do, but again there was a failure to disclose.
This weakness on paperwork becomes a bit of a theme, and where this becomes interesting is that this company has now adopted a policy not to make political donations. That is a good move, but I will come back to a few more details about how they are handling that aspect of their work. On their construction work, some of the very serious problems that occurred with the Lane Cove Tunnel need to be put on the record. Not only was this a financial basket case, but we also saw the partial collapse of an apartment block that occurred during the excavation that Transfield was involved in. There are many problems that come through when you look at the projects that they are involved in.
I want to move onto the issue about how this company has handled its political donations, which have been considerable over the years. What we have seen with this company-and you would hope it was more than a public relations exercise, as it is with some companies, although some companies do enforce it very thoroughly-is that in September 2010 they adopted their political involvement and support policy, which says:
Transfield Services does not make political donations ...
This is interesting, because I have just detailed some of the projects that they have been able to pick up over the years. Particularly in New South Wales, we see that considerable donations were made. From 1999 the total donations to all political parties comes in at more than $1 million; it is $1,126,546. The coalition were not so favoured by Transfield Services-all the Transfield companies. The coalition picked up $389,300, while Labor in all states since 1999 has picked up $737,246. The story becomes interesting when you look at the recent donations in light of the policy that this company has adopted. It has given more than $1 million to the political parties. But, when we get to September 2010, it says it is not giving political donations anymore and it has adopted a new policy. This information needs to be tracked through the various websites of the electoral commissions where you find that in the 2010-11 financial year Transfield disclosed making eight donations to the major parties. If you look further you find out that Transfield Services-the one that adopted this policy-gave two $5,000 donations to federal Labor in July and August 2010 and Transfield corporate services gave a $50,000 donation to the federal ALP division in August 2010, a total of $70,000 donated to the federal ALP last year. That is all okay according to the company's policy.
Transfield Services also disclosed giving three donations to the Liberal Party that year totalling $16,500. The last donation of $5,500 was listed as given to the New South Wales Liberal Party on 10 June 2011. This is some eight months after the company claimed it had ceased giving donations, in September 2010. Maybe this is a reflection of lax paperwork, but the theme becomes quite worrying. We find out about Transfield (1) that it has a lack of experience in anything that comes close to managing detention centres and (2) how it manages its own affairs.
It is interesting to look at the financial health of this company, because the company's shares have really not increased in value over the last decade, still sitting at around $2.10 per share. In this time shareholders have probably been wondering if their investment was worth it. At the same time, senior management have been looked after. In 2010-11, managing director Dr Goode received $2.8 million, an increase of $400,000 at a time when the return to shareholders went backwards. You become concerned about why the company has put up its hand for the Nauru and Manus Island detention centres. Is the company looking to make profits out of vulnerable people? We know from experience with Serco-I gave the figures earlier, but they are worth repeating because they are quite staggering-that this company picked up a 45 per cent rise in net profits. I find it very troubling that Transfield Services, a private company, has been brought in although it has really no experience of running centres anywhere, let alone under such extraordinary conditions as would be faced on Nauru and Manus Island. It is very relevant to this debate to consider the motivation of this company.
Coming back to Dr Goode, who received an increase in his salary package, you would have to say that was an interesting reward considering that Transfield has been dropped from the ASX 100 Index. Dr Goode, at the end of this month, moves over to become a consultant to Transfield. The new head of Transfield Services will be Graeme Hunt. His background is interesting, particularly in light of this new extensive work that Transfield Services will be undertaking. Mr Hunt's background is in the mining industry; he spent 34 years with BHP. I put that on the record, because that is the relevant part of today's debate: who is running the detention centres on Nauru and Manus Island and their experience with handling people who are in a traumatised situation. That trauma is about to be added to as they are forced to move to another location with facilities that we have heard many speeches in parliament and people outside parliament calling highly inappropriate for people in this situation. So I would hope-I always try to look on the positive side-that out of this debate people become more aware of how far Australia has moved away from its obligations. Those obligations should have been met. The Greens put up very clear proposals to the Labor government. That is where we had the opportunity to work together, to come forward with real solutions-solutions which, if they had been put in place, would have reduced the number of people taking boats to come to Australia.
If we had taken more refugees into Australia and, in particular, had given more resources to the UNHCR, then that would have provided safer pathways for people to come to Australia. It would have been such an important shift in how we are managing refugees in this region and it would have been the way to spread the message that the government tells us it wants to spread through our region. But what we are seeing is that people are not getting the message 'Don't come to Australia by boat,' because the government's own policy has been failing since we debated this very issue in the parliament just a few weeks ago. The boats continue to come. Again, that is a message that I get time and time again when I speak to refugees at Villawood and other places. They always say they are not thinking about the situation they will face where they are about to arrive; they are thinking about what they have to escape from, how they have to protect their family and their loved ones or just their own personal safety because of the attacks, the abuse and the killings that are occurring in Sri Lanka against the Tamil community and what the Hazaras are facing in Afghanistan. That is why these people are taking these terribly dangerous trips.
The essence of the government's failure is shown in the fact that the boats are still coming. The fact that they have to expand the number of places to take the refugees who are coming is clear evidence that the government has got it so deeply wrong. We knew that the coalition had got it wrong, but the fact that Labor moved into Mr Abbott's territory is indeed very shocking.
Again, I would like to thank my colleagues in the Greens and the many community organisations that have worked so extensively on this issue. I know they will continue to add their voice for the need to take a humanitarian approach and to have respect for international law to be the foundation of how we handle refugee policy in Australia.

Beamlet and directional wavelet: phase-space localization and wave propagation
- Publisher: European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers
- Source: Conference Proceedings, 69th EAGE Conference and Exhibition - Workshop Package, Jun 2007, cp-29-00014
Beamlet and Directional Wavelet: Phase-Space Localization and Wave Propagation Ru-Shan Wu (University of California) SUMMARY____________________________________________________________ First I review the development of beamlet decomposition and propagation in the framework of phase-space localization especially the space-wavenumber localization. Then the relation between the beamlet and the directional wavelet is discussed in the context of wave propagation. Beamlet and directional wavelet have the same capacity of representing phasespace localized wavefield due to the angle-wavenumber correspondence. Some examples of propagator decomposition and seismic imaging using local cosine beamlet propagator are given. EAGE 69 th Conference & Exhibition — London UK 11 - 14 June 2007

Evidence was found in the code for Apple's next major round of software updates – including for iOS on phones, iPadOS on tablets, macOS on Macs, and of course tvOS on Apple TV 4K – that Apple will support the AV1 video format from next-gen on your devices in the future.
AV1 has one big advantage: it is more efficient than current video codecs (a 'codec' is the algorithm by which a video is encoded for streaming and then decoded for viewing). That means you use less data to stream video at the same quality, or you can use the same amount of data to stream even higher quality video like 8K support without using large amounts of data.
AV1 is used by YouTube for all of its 8K videos, and Netflix has expressed a desire to switch to AV1 for all streaming in the future to reduce bandwidth usage. It is currently not supported on Apple devices.
But as noted by codeworkshop.net (opens in new tab) (through FlatpanelsHD (opens in new tab)), the AVFoundation framework in Apple's software, which allows developers to tell software which codec a video will use, now includes an AV1 option in tvOS/iOS/iPad 16 beta.
This is a very strong hint that Apple will support AV1 in their upcoming updates, although we have asked Apple for confirmation and will update if the company responds.
Review: Will Apple TV 4K support 8K?
While AV1 support is great on all devices for reducing data usage when watching videos on the go, or improving streaming quality for those with a poor connection at home, the big question for us is whether the current Apple TV 4K will be capable to support its 8K capabilities, or whether the new Apple TV (2022) will be required to support 8K.
There are two big questions about this. The first is the HDMI port on the current Apple TV 4K. It's already an HDMI 2.1 port, meaning the connection itself can handle 8K at up to 60fps. Nonetheless, as noted by iMore (opens in new tab), Apple TV 4K doesn't make full use of the higher bandwidth of HDMI 2.1, which would make 8K impossible as it stands. Think of it this way: the tube is big enough to handle the 8K flow, but the pump isn't strong enough to fill the tube.
Could Apple update the bomb? The above article is from 2021, but as far as we know, Apple hasn't done this until now, so it could be that there's some hardware limitation besides the HDMI port that's breaking it. Again, we asked Apple to confirm if this would be possible and will update if we receive a response.
The second question is the A12 chip that powers the Apple TV 4K. Apple chips haven't included hardware decoding support for AV1 in the past, which means there can't be ultra-fast, ultra-efficient decoding of this type of video running on a dedicated part of the chip. Instead, it will have to be done 'in software', which means using the chip's overall processing power to decode the video.
The Apple A12 chip is nearly four years old, so the concern is whether it has enough power to decode 8K video in real-time.
Those concerns could fit with the main rumor about the new Apple TV coming out later this year or early next: that its biggest change internally will be a newer A14 processor with more RAM. That might give it AV1 decoding power, and it might also be the processor that retains the ability to make full use of the HDMI 2.1 port.
It might take a while for that to happen, but if you have one of the best 8K TVs and are expecting more support, Apple is at least one step closer to helping you.

Roxbury chess team wins Northwest NJ tourney
The Roxbury Scholastic Chess Club/Team, based in the Eisenhower Middle School, won the Northwest New Jersey K through 8 Chess Championship.
The event drew 47 teams and was held at the Mohawk Country Club boardwalk in Sparta, where they won the title by defeating the defending champions from Sparta in an impromptu overtime match. The two teams were tied after all four rounds of one-hour matches concluded.
"Usually, an automatic tie breaker is built into the computer system that looks at the schedule strength of each participating student and awards the higher ranking to the team that played the stronger opponents during the tournament. However this year, for the first time, the computer had both teams dead-locked in a tie," said Jeffrey Mittag, Chess Team coach for EMS. "The Sparta coach suggested a flip of a coin to decide the champion as he thought the Roxbury team bus was waiting to take the students home."
Mittag informed Sparta that the team bus would not arrive for another hour. When the students from both teams heard this, they started chanting, "Play-off, Play-off, and Play-off."
A decision was made to have four students from each team compete head-to-head in 20-minute matches to decide the champion. But this ended in a 2 – 2 tie again, so the same four students matched off a second time in another 20-minute match.
This time, two of Roxbury's players won their match, and one of Sparta's player's won his match, so it came down to a struggle between the top two students in the tournament. The game ended in a tie with just nine seconds remaining in the match, giving Roxbury the win by a final score of 2 ½ to 1 ½.

What is Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream?
Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream is a fragrant moisturizing cream that is said to help maintain the natural moisture of the skin and replenish hydration in dry areas. It is recommended for dry patches, especially on the hands, elbows, and feet. Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream is non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) and is suitable for all skin types.
What are the Best Skin Care Products of 2022?
What are the key ingredients in Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream?
The key ingredients in Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream include petrolatum, mineral oil, paraffin, beeswax, candelilla wax, and carnauba wax. We'll discuss each of these ingredients in detail below so you'll know exactly how they affect your skin.
Petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly or Vaseline, is a colorless or pale yellow semi solid mixture of hydrocarbons. Petrolatum is an occlusive agent that reduces the rate of water loss through skin. Since petrolatum has a melting point that is close to body temperature, it softens upon application and forms a water-repellant film around the applied area. This film prevents evaporation of the skin's natural moisture and increases skin hydration by causing buildup of water in the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin). Furthermore, petrolatum has been shown to penetrate deeply into damaged skin and enhance recovery of the skin's barrier function. Maintaining a strong, intact barrier is important to keep harmful things like allergens, bacteria, and irritants from entering the body through the skin.
Mineral oil is a clear, odorless oil derived from a mineral source, typically a distillate of petroleum, that functions as an emollient. After application, mineral oil forms a protective film on the surface of skin that helps to prevent evaporation of the skin's natural moisture.
Paraffin is a very highly refined mineral oil used in cosmetics and medicine. Paraffin is an occlusive emollient that has many of the same benefits of petrolatum and mineral oil. The combination of petrolatum, mineral oil, and paraffin in the Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream gives this cream a very rich texture that some may consider to be greasy.
Beeswax, also known as cera alba, is a natural wax produced by honeybees in the cell walls of honeycombs. There are about 300 compounds found in beeswax, including alkanes, acids, esters, polyesters, and hydroxy esters. Beeswax is also a humectant moisturizer. Humectants have a molecular structure with several hydrophilic (water loving) groups, which allows them to attract and retain the moisture in the air nearby via absorption. Lastly, beeswax acts as an emollient and occlusive agent. It forms a soft, protective barrier on the surface of skin, which helps to prevent evaporation of the skin's natural moisture.
The final key ingredients in Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream are candelilla wax and carnauba wax. Both of these ingredients have emollient properties to help leave skin with a soft, hydrated feel.
While Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream is said to be suitable for all skin types, it's important to point out that this product contains synthetic fragrance and menthol. Both of these ingredients can cause skin irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin. In fact, menthol is known for its counterirritant properties. A counterirritant is a substance which creates irritation or mild inflammation in one location with the goal of lessening discomfort and/or inflammation in another location. This is why menthol is typically used in OTC products to relieve muscle pain. Overall, menthol is not a very good ingredient to use on dry skin.
We'd also like to point out that the Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream contains two parabens, propylparaben and butylparaben, as preservatives. Parabens are used to prevent microbial contamination, however, the use of parabens is now controversial due to their alleged relation to health concerns. A 2004 study linked parabens in deodorant to breast cancer. This link seemed plausible since parabens can mimic human estrogen and it is known that high estrogen levels stimulate the growth of cancer cells. However, the study has since been discredited and the American Cancer Society has concluded that there is insufficient scientific evidence of parabens increasing breast cancer risk.
Where is Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream sold?
Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream can be purchased directly from the company's website, on third party online retailers like Amazon, or from an independent Mary Kay consultant. However, it's a good idea to be prepared for a face-to-face meeting with any beauty consultant, because at the end of the day, their job is to make a sale. Therefore, the savvy consumer will benefit from doing significant research about the company's products and reading Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream reviews. Such detailed information will help you ask the right questions, so that you can make a truly informed decision.
What is the Mary Kay return policy?
Mary Kay deals with their customers through the Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants. For any query or returns, you will have to contact your Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant. The Mary Kay return policy states the following, "If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with any Mary Kay product purchased from an authorized Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant, it will be replaced without charge, exchanged or the full purchase price refunded following its return to your authorized Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant or, if she is no longer active, to the Company with proof of purchase."
Is Mary Kay cruelty free?
Mary Kay is not cruelty free. While Mary Kay does not conduct animal testing on their products or ingredients, they do test on animals when required to do so by law (such as in China). According to PETA, Mary Kay has taken steps to work with Chinese officials on the acceptance of using alternative methods to substantiate the safety of their ingredients and products.
Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream reviews
Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream reviews on the brand's website are overall very positive, with the product receiving an average of 4.7 out of 5 stars after 124 customer reviews. The majority of the positive reviews mention that this cream can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, one review says, "I have used the EENC for over 30 years and it's always a go to cream for burns, dry skin, and especially chapped lips. Nothing works better. I repeat-nothing works better!"
Most of the negative reviews for Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream are about the fragrance and about how greasy the product is. For example, one review states "I bought this sight unseen and don't like it. It is very greasy and Vaseline-like."

The voice of Eirepreneur and the vision of Grazr.
Here is what John Collins writes in the 22 June 2007 edition of the Irish Times:
Maybe it's something in the water, but a disproportionate amount of Ireland's leading bloggers seem to hail from Munster.
Based in Limerick, James Corbett styles himself as a micro-entrepreneur--he is involved in a number of international online businesses.
These include a community for greyhound enthusiasts and Grazr, which is a new way of consuming syndicated web content.
Despite this, he still finds time to post his blog at least once a day on the broad topics of entrepreneurship and technology.
Is it any wonder he recently admitted that the lines between his personal and professional life are blurring? A common enough occupational hazard for micro-entrepreneurs, no doubt.
Corbett is also hugely supportive of networking initiatives in his area. One such initiative is the OpenCoffee movement, which seeks to bring together financiers, start-ups and advisers in an informal cafe setting. The international movement has already had meetings in Cork and Limerick. However, techies in the capital have yet to embrace the model.
Corbett wears his passions on his sleeve and is not afraid to take a deep dive into tech speak either. He is especially enthusiastic around two of his pet topics: global positioning systems (GPS) and content syndication.
He's also big on the concept of co-working, whereby freelance workers come together to create a flexible, hot-desk space. That way they have the numerous benefits of an office space without the formality.
If you had to find a gripe with the Eirepreneur blog, it would be that the design is extremely basic and lacks some basic functions that you might expect these days, such as a search facility or the ability to see posts grouped by topic.
At least Corbett hasn't fallen into the common trap of plastering his blog in widgets and other pointless distractions.

Sandwiched between two other Thanksgiving games is our Texas-sized matchup between the Cowboys and Giants. This is a rematch of what was a highly competitive Week 3 matchup that saw Dallas prevail after Trevon Diggs clinched the Cowboys' 23-16 win with a late interception.
Both teams enter Thursday's game with playoff aspirations. Dallas (7-3) is currently the fifth-seeded team in the NFC standings, while New York (7-3) would face the 49ers in the wild-card round if the playoffs started today. Both teams are trying to stay within striking distance of the one-loss Eagles for first place in the NFC East division.
Fans will be treated to a star-studded matchup befitting a Thanksgiving Day game. The big matchup to watch today will be Daniel Jones and the Giants' offense against the Cowboys' top-ranked scoring defense. Jones will certainly lean on running back Saquon Barkley, who is just 47 yards from his third 1,000-yard rushing season and first since 2019. Jones will try to avoid throwing in the direction of Diggs and Defensive Player of the Year candidate Micah Parsons.
Worried about missing a play or two between helpings? We've got you covered in our live blog below. Be sure to follow the blog after kickoff for updates, highlights and analysis in real time.

It is spring and the chances of finding an amphibian in the olive grove increase. The most probable thing is that if we do, we will run into a corridor toad (Epidalea calamita) or a henbane (Pleurodeles waltl), the two most frequent amphibian species in this environment.
But … why are they?
The answer can be found in their reproductive behavior, able to adapt to a medium in principle so hostile to an amphibian as the olive grove, an agrosystem where water is the main limiting factor, something that makes it difficult for these animals so linked to water and that they depend completely on it in its first phases of life.
But … how are they able to inhabit and reproduce in a place where ponds and water points are so scarce?
Here each one, he manages as he can…
Putting toad runner
In the case of the runner, the adaptation is based on speed. Their sets, arranged in two rows of small eggs, are usually placed in simple temporary puddles formed by spring rains. If there is luck and the water does not dry, in just 6 – 12 weeks the tadpoles, able to withstand high temperatures and low concentrations of oxygen, will have metamorphosed and will be releasing their new lungs, being released in part from their aquatic slavery.
The gallipato, however, has preferred to reproduce prematurely in these parts. While in more northern territories the reproduction takes place in spring, in the southernmost corners of the peninsula this species reproduces in autumn and winter, thus ensuring for its layouts a greater availability of water.
Amphibians are the most threatened vertebrates on the planet, climate change, pollution, the release of invasive species in their ponds and various diseases such as chytridiomycosis, caused by a fungus, have put in check these magnificent beings. Caring for them and respecting them is everyone's task.
Do not forget to greet them when you find them in the olive grove!

Nicely done! Thank you.
Great photos.ReplyDelete
It looks like a great place to visit. I love your photo of the artist. Your subtle humor is also refreshing. Thanks for linking up on Amanda's Books and More! My linky party: http://abooksandmore.blogspot.co.za/2016/06/my-etsy-shop-and-more-with-linky.htmlReplyDelete
Yeah, Christina, it's a go to place even off sunflower season. You get me. (ha)ReplyDelete
That looks like a wonderful place to paint. Oh, the happiness of sunflowers.ReplyDelete
If I painted I'd give it a go. It may be too much of a schlepp this year for some artists but I hope the distance doesn't discourage too many folks.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I love sunflowers. I planted them in my garden but out here in northern Illinois we have way too many rabbits, so the rabbits ate them all. I might have to take a road trip up there in August to see those sunflowers. They look so beautiful.ReplyDelete
Check the Pope Farm website first. If u do go, it's all the way down Old Sauk till u see it on the right, coming in from Madison. It sounds like sunflowers will be up toward the end of July. Plan to take water. Only a few picnic tables, but great if u can get the one under the tree.
Silly rabbits. I live close to a nature preserve and state park and there are all sorts of critters eating garden food. They r all quite well fed, especially the deer and rabbits.
Beautiful sunflowers! Will you be visiting when there are in bloom again this year?ReplyDelete
I plan to pick the coolest day, which may be fruitless in mid-late July, take plenty of water and make sure me and my cameras are charged and ready to go.ReplyDelete
I love the one of the lady painting
She had more patience than I, Molly. I'd love to see how her painting turned out.ReplyDelete
Please don't link your blog in the comments or it will be deleted. Your comment, not your blog, but wouldn't that be unsettling? Blog Hop Links are in the sidebar.
It's been a tough week so I'll leave you with a few more phone pics. This rope smells like you and you belong to me therefore ...

Auditions for the WMS Spring Musical — Disney's "Alice in Wonderland, Jr." — will take place in the auditorium on THURSDAY during ASP 1 and 2; and again next MONDAY during ASP 1 only.

Last week Apple sent out invites to the media for an event on March 9th. It goes without saying that the spotlight will be on the Apple Watch, the first truly new product that the company has launched in years, and it still has a lot of information to reveal about the smartwatch. There were whispers previously that perhaps the much rumored Retina MacBook Air might be unveiled at this event as well. A new report published today reiterates those claims and says that the Retina MacBook Air will indeed be shown off at the March 9th event.
According to The Michael Report, which claims to have exclusively heard from sources familiar with the matter within Apple, that the company is going to unveil this notebook at the same event. The scribe says it has independently verified this information and finds it to be "highly credible."
This latest information is in line with a recent prediction made by famed Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who said that Apple will launch the Retina MacBook Air in the first quarter of 2015.
There have already been many rumors about the specifications of this notebook but nothing is known for sure right now. The rumor mill believes the Retina MacBook Air is going to have a very slim profile due to its fanless design apart from the high resolution display, which is obviously going to be its main selling point.

2020 has been a whirlwind of craziness! We have experienced a plethora of changes, altered schedules, and trying to mask up and "just deal" with it all. I have found that adding new activities and traditions to our family has been a great way to help us stay sane and united during these challenging times.
Having good strong traditions in your family is a great way to strengthen your family bonds. Strong family traditions will help you teach values, give your family added comfort and security, and help create strong, lasting memories. My kids said they love our traditions because "It gives them something to look forward to". In our family, I have seen strength come from our traditions. I would recommend you take some time this week to examine just what your family traditions are (big or small) and what new traditions you could add.
Here are a few suggestions to get you started creating lasting memories together.
- Have a special family dinner on a different day from Thanksgiving. We usually eat at grandma's house on Thanksgiving. So we like to eat the Thanksgiving food on a different day. I like to buy a turkey when they are cheap and then freeze it until we want to have our small family dinner at home. Sometimes we add candlelight to make it even more fun.
- Volunteer as a family at a Soup Kitchen or Food Bank. Or you can do a food drive and collect food.
- Join a turkey trot race. Even if you only walk it can still be a lot of fun to do together. You could even add matching turkey shirts!
- Make a Gratitude Tree or a Thanksgiving Pumpkin. This is a great way to count your blessings. You can fill in all the leaves in one day or spend the month writing down your blessings. My neighbor actually started a list and got over 1,000 things on their chart.
- Make a special family dish. My mom's no-bake pumpkin pie with gingersnaps is a favorite from my childhood. We always ate it at Thanksgiving. So I make sure we have lots of it in the fridge around Thanksgiving time.
- Write Thank you cards as a family. Just think of the endless possibilities of people you could thank.
- Break a wishbone. Maybe draw names of who gets to do it. Or have a prize for the bigger piece.
- Make a little treat for each place setting for Thanksgiving. Here are some turkeys. My mom always made cute turkeys or cornucopias out of food. (So we could snack while we were waiting for dinner). They are a lot of fun to make!
- Play Thanksgiving Football. My family has done this for years on Thanksgiving morning. Snow or sunshine they love it!
- Call, Skype, Face Time, or Messenger your loved ones. We are so blessed with so many options for technology. Call extended family and say Hi!
- Have a family game night. We had so many board games that we couldn't remember playing. So we made a pile to play and tried them all. It was a lot of fun.
- Learn how to make homemade pies. There are so many resources online now that you can learn to do just about anything. My kids loved learning how to make them and especially eating them afterwards.
- Share family stories. My kids love to hear stories of when we were little and got into trouble or silly things they did when they were little.
- Go for a Fall walk together.
- Have a movie marathon…Like: 15 hours of Lord of the Rings/Hobbit or all of the Harry Potter Movies in a row.
- Play Thanksgiving themed games.
- Take a Fall drive together. We do this every year and love to get out in nature and see all of the Fall colors!
- Fall Puzzles and Movies. Puzzles are so much fun to do together. We sit on the floor and do them while we watch something together.
- Decorate for Christmas. We actually decorate the day before Thanksgiving every year. It is our time to say goodbye to Fall and start Christmas.
- Make cheesy soup in homemade soup bowls. So easy! That is a Fall favorite here.
- Thanksgiving pictionary. Here's a free printable word list.
- Have a fall service day. Here are some service ideas.
- Here is my post about Fun Fall Family Traditions.
Whatever you decide to do, talk with your family and ask them what new traditions they would like to try this year. Go for it! Have fun creating memories together. Even failed attempts can be fun. Some of our favorite memories were laughing about something that didn't go quite as planned. Traditions will definitely help your family grow closer!
Do you have a tradition that you do for Thanksgiving that wasn't on the list? I'd love to hear more about it.

PMW 2019-074 by Patrick Hines (The Aquila Report)
In an excellent lecture on homosexuality still available from Ligonier Ministries from long ago, the late Dr. R. C. Sproul said:
First of all, to deal with the homosexual is one of the most difficult problems we have to deal with. It would be so much easier for all concerned to just ignore the problem and say to people and to the world and to the homosexual, "Look, it's ok. It's alright. You're just left-handed. It's fine." For me to do that is to commit perjury to the Word of God. … The problem is that so many have bought the myth that they are intrinsically homosexuals … and they have no hope of changing. They've been listening to a society that tells them they are sick and there is no cure for their disease. … That is telling them, in effect, "there is no hope." There is no transforming power available to change my nature. … What we must do in order to help them is begin with this fundamental thesis: Biologically, essentially, and intrinsically, there is no such thing as a homosexual. Let me say that again. Biologically, essentially, and intrinsically, there is no such thing as a homosexual.
The surest way to guarantee you will lose a debate is to allow your opponent to define the terms, parameters, and worldview that will lie beneath your conversation. If we let them do this, our opponents will have won the argument before it even starts. While they pretend to be neutral, they are not. While they tell us to be open-minded, they are not.

Note to self: As you make haste, don't forget to appreciate the moment--even if you're paddling, cold and damp, into fierce headwinds. Pay attention to beauty. Notice something a little out of the ordinary, and be thankful for it. Remember that each hour is precious, for at day's end, we will be halfway through our journey's final week.
Abbreviated davening this morning, in the tent, without tallit and tefillin, which I do not wish to risk getting wet. I am tempted to skip it entirely, but am glad I don't. Regular morning prayer grounds starts the day right, grounding me in the kind of mindfulness and gratitude that I lacked yesterday and which may not come easily today either. I want to acknowledge the Holy One as the creator of everything--not just sunshine and joy but all of it: clouds and wind and wet, storm and struggle. I need the power of ritual routine to push me out of my small, anthropocentric, self-centered perspective. Why should the weather give a damn about me, really? What kind of world would it be if it did? I want to love the Creation as it is, the Holy One's handiwork. All of it.
We break camp and paddle for two hours. It's tough going with strong gusts blasting us head on, but at least the rain holds off. We push our way downstream tightly hugging the right bank, where the wooded shore acts as a bit of a windbreak.
By 12:30 or so, we spy the first signs of the approaching delta. The landscape opens up into expansive marshlands, gently sloped banks, wind-scoured grasses. We snake our way through, then come around a broad bend and enter Minge. It's a unique place, a quaint fishing village turned tourist town, where the only "road" is the river--leading the guide books to describe it as "the Venice of Lithuania." This is a considerable overstatement (no one looks at Venice and thinks, "That's the Minge of Italy!") but it's lovely, with picture perfect fairy tale inns and vacation cottages lining both sides of the stream. We tie up the boat and walk along the right bank, passing yachts and guesthouses, then return to the kayak, paddle across the river, and dock again, this time on the left bank, where we find the town's only restaurant/cafe, the Kavine Egzotica. The lunch menu doesn't offer much vegetarian fare, so we turn to the snack section and ask for fried bread with cheese and garlic, thinking we'll get glorified grilled cheese. We don't. Twenty minutes or so after taking our order, the waitress sets down two huge bowls of deep-fried croutons smothered in melted cheese and mayonnaise. It's so ungodly rich and heavy; we can barely make a dent in even one of the bowls, . As Rosa puts it, you know it's not a healthy meal when the french fries on the side are more nutritious than the main course.
Before long, we realize we've made a mistake. Progress is painful as we paddle into the squall, but there's no turning back here, with Minge now several significant upstream river bends behind us. On this slate-grey day, the landscape is comprised of just two tones: the verdure of the meadowlands and the gunmetal sky and water. It's elemental, this world of grey and green, wind and waves, water and marsh grass. Bleakly beautiful.
Also a little scary. We don't have as much control as we'd like in our battle with the elements; every few feet gained on the river is hard-earned. We're pushing for Vente, for the lighthouse at the cape that marks land's end, where we will enter the bay. Caution is in order, for we have a river kayak with no spray skirt. It has served us well for the last three and a half weeks, but it is not built for the open sea. Still, it will be so nice to reach the ocean, to feel the spacious salt air on our faces.
Delayed gratification. Again.
This painstaking final leg of our journey keeps pounding that lesson into my thick, recalcitrant skull. Another frustrating day where we do not make it to the sea. After lunch, we paddle almost an hour, and with every stroke, the going just grows tougher. The waves get scary, heaving upstream, river-wide, impeding virtually any forward progress. Rain slaps our cheeks, wind gusts against our upraised paddle blades. Finally, we throw in the towel. We pull the boat onto the right bank, thick with weeds, determined to wait out the storm. An hour passes, then two. No change, no clearing. So we call it a day, even though it's still early afternoon. When the rain eases for a few minutes, we hastily pitch and pack the tent with our sleeping gear; by the time the deluge picks up again, we are gratefully ensconced inside. For the rest of the day and into the night, we chill in the tent, watching Netflix: a photo documentary from the Himalayas followed by a Swedish film, with subtitles, about a rash of witch trials in a seventeenth-century fishing village--essentially a Scandinavian version of "The Crucible." In between, we boil up some freeze-dried pasta, talk and laugh and play a lot of gin rummy. We're happy to be warm and dry and comfortable. Today, the waiting isn't too bad.
Luckily, as the late twilight descends, the storm starts to clear. We go to sleep with the rainfly doors open, hoping for smoother waters tomorrow. Vente and the Curonian Lagoon lie just a couple miles ahead. Weather-permitting, we should make it in the morning.

Unexpected events in life can leave us feeling as merely a passenger in our own life. Unlike the times when we treat life like a spectator sport, these moments can leave us feeling out of control. We can sometimes end up feeling like our actions do not matter, like nothing we do matters or, worse yet, like we do not matter.

Stunning. Breathtaking. These are two of many words that could have been used to describe Meghan Markle's appearance at the British Fashion Awards a few days ago.
"It is such an honor to be here celebrating British fashion and British fashion designers in my new home of the U.K.," Mehgan told attendees at the event. Dozens in the audience cheered as Meghan Markle graced the runway while wearing a black dress by Givenchy and shoes designed by Tamara Mellon. Markle opted for a clean bun hairstyle instead of leaving a piece of hair out as she typically does with her ponytail and bun hairstyles.
Meghan Markle definitely had the pregnancy glow at the British Fashion Awards. Some believe that the Duchess of Sussex is shining from the inside out for two unborn children. Speculation that Markle is expecting twins with her husband, Prince Harry, continues to spread despite little, if any, evidence of the notion.
According to Her,
"Meghan's growing baby bump has led people to speculate that she's due to give birth sooner than people had predicted and now royal fans have suggested there is another possibility, that she's having twins."
BEHOLD Her Royal Highness?#HarryandMeghan pic.twitter.com/4bRBMvU5tX
— Ed (@Ed59029780) December 11, 2018
Despite several old wives tales, one cannot determine if a woman is expecting twins by simply looking at the way that her bump sits during the early stages of pregnancy. We will have to wait and see if Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are indeed preparing for two children. For now, Meghan's adoring public can take in all of her incredible pregnancy pictures.
Stay tuned for more celebrity expectancy news!

How to paint old doors
Can I paint over a painted door?
You are using latex paint on a door that was previously painted with latex paint . You are using Benjamin Moore Advance paint over a previously painted door – this paint can be used over either latex or oil-based paint and is awesome for not leaving roller or brush marks so it's my go-to paint for trim and doors .
What kind of paint do you use on a wooden door?
Choose paint recommended for interior doors, such as types with a durable gloss or semi gloss sheen that makes it easy to clean. If possible, paint in a well-ventilated area or use a fan to circulate the air. Before painting, clean the door with a degreasing cleaner.
Should I use a brush or roller to paint a door?
If you are going to paint a plain, flat door , use a foam roller to roll on the paint and use an angled brush to paint the sides. You want to make sure you leave no roller lap marks. To remove any lap marks, roll a lightly-loaded roller over the wet coat of paint to smooth.
Do you have to sand a door before painting?
Sand the entire door to help the new paint stick well, remembering to sand the edges since you want to give them a fresh coat of paint as well. Start with medium-grit sandpaper if the door has visible blemishes, rough patches or drips from previous paint jobs.
Do I need to prime front door before painting?
As mentioned above, you'll also want to prime the door before painting , if you are changing colors. Whether you paint your door in place or on sawhorses, you will want to remove all the hardware. Secondly, you'll want to clean the door with a wet rag, and then use a sander or sandpaper to remove any imperfections.
Do you paint the door frame the same color as the door?
If you 've decided to paint your door , you 'll generally want the door frame to be the same color as the door , or the wall around it. For example, the outside of this house isn't a solid color paneling, which would be hard to match. In this case, having a different colored door , paneling, and trim worked out quite well!
Can you paint a door without removing it?
If you are replacing your front door handle at the same time as painting , you 'll want to start your project by removing it . If you 're keeping your existing door handle, you do NOT need to remove it for painting . Since your front door is exposed to the outside, it will need a good cleaning before it can be painted .
Can you use a roller to paint a door?
" Painting a front door is best done with a brush. This is because most front doors have wood and/or glass panels and a roller would not be able to paint in the panels the same way that a brush would to give full coverage."
How can I paint without brush marks?
How To Paint Without Leaving Brush Strokes (5 Step Guide) Use A Quality Brush . Get The Right Amount Of Paint On The Brush . Don't Apply Too Much Pressure To The Brush . Leave End Strokes In The Same Direction. Use A Roller Or Spray Gun Instead.
How can I make my front door look rustic?
No matter what your door is made of, layered and chipped paint colors make it look a bit older and more rustic . Paint the door one color using a paint designed for the surface — if the door is an exterior door , paint the outside of it with an exterior paint and the inside with an interior paint.
What kind of paint do you use on a front door?
Go for a semi-gloss finish , which is as durable as it is attractive. Exterior paints are sold in flat/matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss , and gloss sheens, in order of the lowest to the highest luster. Semi-gloss is ideal for front doors, as it's more wear- and stain-resistant than flatter sheens.

Pilgrimage is a complex and mystical term signifying not only a physical journey to a special place but also an inner spiritual journey. In fact a pilgrimage can be a metaphor for life itself, as life can be represented as a journey full of twists and turns, challenges and triumphs toward a mystical destination.
The fact that a pilgrimage is often seen a "sacred" journey also points to the fact that the process of our journey through life can also be made into a sacred act.
Pilgrimage has a long history and is a widespread spread practice among many world religions including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism. As well, Pilgrimage is practiced in emergent religions and spiritualities such as neo-paganism and the loosely defined "new age" movement with pilgrimages to such places as Stonehenge and Glastonbury. In each of these traditions, numerous centres have developed into important focal points to which followers are drawn.
These centres are often thought to be places of spiritual power where something extra-ordinary or miraculous is said to have occurred. Or they are places where holy relics or thought are be contained (eg. the Shroud or Turin, or sacred sites where the relics of various saints are house).
Sometimes these sites are landscapes of great physical beauty or that have acquired some spiritual significance and have become identified as "sacred" to a culture or tradition (such as Sedona New Mexico or the Ganges River in India). Whatever the particular significance These pilgrimages become journeys that reinvigorate faith by visiting places connected to holy figures or sacred experiences associated with their traditions and beliefs.
Pilgrimage can also have a secular dimension as well, where people travel to places of special significance with respect to sports (eg. going to the baseball hall of fame or certain stadiums), places of national or historic significance (such as the Vietnam war memorial in Washington DC) or to the resting places of celebrities (such as Elvis Presley's resting place and home, Graceland).
There can be a close parallel between tourism and pilgrimage (one can turn into or incorporate the other) … in fact Pilgrimage could be seen as perhaps the earliest forms of tourism! (eg. the pilgrimages to Jerusalem and the Holy Land that were opened up for Christians during the Crusades). However, pilgrimage of the spiritual kind usually involves a sense of the sacred and is usually done for the purpose of deepening or elucidating one's faith.
Pilgrimage can be an important component of spiritual wellness. It is a time dedicated to that which is considered sacred and involves both a physical and spiritual component. Often there can be a component of physical and/or mental challenge or "ordeal" that may combine to make a pilgrimage a memorable and transformational experience.
Consider incorporating pilgrimage into your spiritual wellness plan.

Emergency Lighting Services
Fire Guard Services supply, install, commission, service and maintain emergency lighting equipment under the British Standards Code of Practices for Emergency Lighting (BS 5266-1:2016).
Types of Emergency Light System Installations
Emergency Escape Lighting
A lighting system that provides illumination for the safe evacuation of people. This is part of the fire safety provision of a building and a legal requirement under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Standby Lighting
Part of the emergency lighting system that enables normal activities to continue unchanged. Standby lighting is not a legal requirement and may or may not be required, depending upon the use of the premises
Emergency escape lighting has three sub-divisions, as follows:
✓ Escape route lighting – part of an emergency lighting system that ensures a means of escape can be identified and safely used by occupants.
✓ Open area lighting (also known as 'anti-panic' lighting) – part of an emergency lighting system that helps minimise panic and provides sufficient illumination to help occupants reach a part of the building where an escape route can be found.
✓ High risk task area lighting – part of an emergency lighting system that provides illumination for the safety of people involved in a dangerous process or situation. This enables proper building shut-down procedures to be followed, for the safety of both operators and occupants.

"The world changed when Superman flew across the sky," Viola Davis's Amanda Waller says early on in Suicide Squad. "And then it changed again when he didn't," she continues, over somber images of the Man of Steel's funeral following his (non-)death at the end of Batman v. Superman. Luckily, that bit of poetic portent is among the very few sops to shared-universe franchise-building in this otherwise gleefully nihilistic movie. David Ayer's film may not always work, but when it does, it's a perverse delight.
Waller is a tough-talking, ruthless intelligence officer who has decided that the emergence of meta-humans — "flying men and monsters" — calls for a new kind of weapon. What if, she asks, the next Superman isn't a do-gooding all-American space alien but a terrorist hell-bent on destroying humanity? So she assembles Task Force X, a/k/a the Suicide Squad, a top-secret collection of psychos, assassins, and beasts housed in a kill-you-if-I-tell-you secret prison in Louisiana, and coerces the group into fighting for the good guys.
Supervillains as superheroes is, admittedly, a pretty fantastic hook. But the dutiful little vignette introducing each character shows that levels of villainy can vary. Deadshot (Will Smith) is a cold-blooded assassin for hire, but he still loves his daughter and won't kill women or children. Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) is a shrink who got seduced by the Joker (Jared Leto), lost her mind, and became a soulless murderer in hot pants. "Pyrokinetic homeboy" El Diablo (Jay Hernandez) is a former gangbanger who can instantly incinerate half a prison yard if he gets too angry (think the Hulk meets the Human Torch), but he's renounced his fiery past and now just wants peace.
There's also Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), a sociopathic irritant and professional thief who can't miss with the weapon he's named for; Killer Croc
(Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), who is half-man, half-crocodile, with cannibalistic tendencies (it's unclear whether that means he eats people or crocodiles, but I'm guessing both); and Enchantress, a/k/a June Moon (Cara Delevingne), an archaeologist who accidentally unleashed the soul of an ancient witch and can now pass through dimensions and cast spells. Heading up the team is the decidedly un-villainous Special Forces officer Colonel Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) — a straight-arrow tough guy, only he's fallen in love with Enchantress, which, uh-oh.
Phew. Got all that? For a movie with an almost comical amount of backstory to get through — almost every member's introductory scene comes complete with a classic pop song — Suicide Squad clocks in at just over two hours. Unfortunately, the seams show. After the bravura intros, the story leaps into a quick, montage-like action sequence in which Enchantress's demonic brother (a golden, flaming, godlike being who can slice through subways and turn ordinary people into pustule-covered super-lizard warriors) takes over a sizable chunk of a nearby metropolis called Midway City. Then he liberates Enchantress, who promptly announces that she will build a machine to destroy humanity.
How will she do this? What will this machine actually do? Who the hell are these demons? Why do they even hate
humanity so much? Bah, details! At least X-Men: Apocalypse allowed its awakened-ancient-mutant-villain to air some grievances before he began laying waste to mankind. There are so many gaps and dodgy edits in these parts of Suicide Squad that the movie sometimes plays like a trailer for itself. (Meanwhile, the Joker — who in this iteration is more a slick, flamboyant Mob boss than the deranged anarchist of The Dark Knight — is working to free Harley Quinn, a subplot we lose for vast stretches of time.)
But the film recovers, in part because Ayer, a director whose previous work has mostly been cop dramas and war movies (he wrote Training Day and directed End of Watch, Harsh Times, and Fury), makes this comic-book stuff play to his strengths. He has a feel for the ways that people handle desperation — for high-pressure situations in which flawed men and women are forced to live up to their responsibilities. So he builds up the team's differences and the fact that each member has private reasons for seeing the mission through. His dialogue is sharp and tight: Even as these antiheroes banter and jaw and distrust one another, they reveal who they are. Suicide Squad is the rare superhero movie in which I actually found myself wondering about the characters' inner lives.
The actors help. We know the film would never dare to make Will Smith a true villain, but he adeptly handles the hard edge of his ultimately valiant character, convincing us of his ruthlessness. ("You're just a serial killer who takes credit cards," Flag tells Deadshot, and the line stings.) Robbie is clearly having the time of her life as the gyrating, acrobatic, utterly nutzoid Harley Quinn, who balances batshit cruelty with a kind of mundane bubbliness. ("Ooh, look at the pretty lights!" she exclaims as they approach the giant flashing, swirling laser and fire show that is the Enchantress's…well, whatever the hell it is Enchantress is creating.) Still, it's Davis who gets most of the best lines, as the ball-busting, no-nonsense Waller. A wise choice: Viola Davis dropping one-liners left and right buys a lot of audience goodwill.
Ayer isn't really an action guy. When the Squad leaps into the fray, we get a generous amount of slo-mo beheadings and thousand-bullet shootouts, but it's all functionally violent — just gritty and loud enough not to lose us entirely, but rarely inventive, surprising, or exciting. And while the film has plenty of action scenes, I can't help but suspect that the director understands his own limitations: The best part of the third act is a random, chatty
interlude in an abandoned bar, an unannounced pit stop sandwiched between two big face-offs. It makes very little narrative sense. You might even argue that it stops the action dead. But it feels like the movie's true climax — and the sign of a filmmaker asserting himself over the anonymity of his material. I'm glad it's there.
