![]() 7 Several publications also suggested a decrease in wound infections when using tape instead of sutures for outer layer closure particularly in contaminated wounds, 16, 17 but organic suture material at the time was associated with more infection than synthetic suture material. 14, 15 Its elastic yet adhesive properties even when moistened makes it well tolerated by most patients and provides strength without blistering. 8– 13 Microporous tape gained popularity because its structure allows sufficient moisture to evaporate to create a favorable microenvironment for the skin, with less bacterial proliferation than under occlusive barriers. Enthusiastic reports followed in the early 1960s. 7 The Minnesota, Mining and Manufacturing Company (3M) succeeded in the mid-1950s in developing a well-tolerated hypoallergenic acrylate adhesive, 7 which in combination with a microporous nonwoven layer of rayon fibers led to the introduction of the microporous adhesive surgical tape. ![]() 6Īdhesive bandaging materials have been used throughout medical history but have been associated with skin irritation and hypersensitivity reactions. ![]() Gillman subsequently promoted the closure of surgical wounds with regular tape from the local stationary store, claiming that as this tape contained both phenol and latex, it was virtually self-sterilizing, and that no infections were observed. Elek and Conen 5 showed that the multiple skin penetrations of suturing and the presence of foreign material increased the risk of wound infection. Sutureless closure of surgical excisions was initially promoted in the 1950s, as Gillman et al 4 demonstrated the epithelial downgrowth that occurs along sutures, resulting in unsightly scarring.

![]() Monochromatic and neutrals-only combinations will also look dull on you.Actinolite is green to grayish green mineral of the amphibole group found in metamorphic rocks. Instead, always pair a neutral with an accent colour. So pairing colours that sit opposite each other on the colour wheel, such as yellow and purple, may look overpowering on you. An all-light look, though, will not be flattering since your natural colouring is dark.Īnother thing to bear in mind is that even though your natural colour contrast is high, it is not as extreme as that of a Bright Winter. But your best combinations will have high contrast. You can also combine a darker neutral with a brighter accent colour, such as dark green with bright pink.Īn all-dark look also works for you. This combination has not only value contrast (light and dark) but also hue contrast (grey and purple). To achieve this, pair a light neutral in one hue with a different dark accent hue, such as a light grey with a dark purple. ![]() Value contrast combined with hue contrast is especially flattering on you. Therefore, the best colour combinations for your outfits are similarly contrasting. Those are the combinations that repeat the contrast level naturally present in your appearance.ĭark Winter's natural appearance is highly contrasting. But certain combinations will look much better than others. Technically, you can combine any of the colours on the Dark Winter palette with each other. Whereas if you lean more towards True Winter, select the darker colours on the True Winter palette – such as Acai, Aventurine and Bellweather Blue. If you lean more towards Dark Autumn, opt for the cooler colours on the Dark Autumn palette – such as Plum Caspia, Blue Depths and Corsair. Depending on where you fall on the Dark Winter spectrum, you can borrow some colours from your sister palettes since they are close enough to the Dark Winter colour palette. Autumn’s effect on Dark Winter is additional warmth and some softness.Ĭompared to the third Winter season Bright Winter, the colours share the same neutral-cool hue but are darker and softer.Īs sister palettes, Dark Autumn and True Winter both share Dark Winter’s aspects of dark and cool, respectively. And the light colours of Dark Winter are lighter than those of Dark Autumn. Consequently, the colours are softer, darker and warmer than those of True Winter.Ĭompared to Dark Autumn, the colours are similarly dark but cooler and brighter. ![]() It falls at the Autumn end of the Winter palette. However, they are dark rather than very bright.ĭark Winter sits between Dark Autumn and True Winter on the seasonal flow chart. Typical for Winter colours, the palette is slightly higher in chroma, meaning the colours are somewhat saturated and bright. This mixture in value is required to achieve the high contrast a Dark Winter needs. And while many of the colours are very light (white and the icy pastels), there are many more dark ones. In line with this season’s primary colour aspect, the overall palette is dark. You will also not find many shades of yellow-based colours but instead more shades of blue and grey, which are naturally cool. So even if you choose yellow (which is the warmest colour of all), you will find only cooler shades that have a tint of blue. This means they contain more blue than yellow. The colours lean towards the cool end of the scale but are not extremely cool. ![]() In addition to healing themselves, an agent with an Overheal buff will gain bonus HP if their health is already at 100 and they have fewer that 50 shield points. Health Regen Powerup Orb from Spike Rush.Entering combat with a Heal buff will pause the effect until the agent is considered to have left combat, although the duration of the buff will not be paused along with the effect. ![]() ![]() Crippling Decay Powerup Orb from Spike RushĪn agent with a Heal buff (also referred to as Health Regen) has their health bar replenished over time.Poison Cloud, Toxic Screen, and Viper's Pit.Once no longer under the afflicting ability's condition to keep/increase Decay, the affected agent's health will begin to climb back up over time, up to the maximum of how much HP they would have if they had not been affected, taking any damage and healing taken whilst they were decayed into account. Decays cannot reduce an agent's health below 1 HP. All decays afflict a fixed HP decay on initial application of the debuff but some may also continue to decay the target's health further over time. The global casting quotes for enemy ultimate abilities can still be heard by deafened agents.Īn agent with a Decay debuff will temporarily lose HP. This will also prevent HUD VFX for some enemy abilities from appearing on an affected player's screen. Anything beyond the vision range cap is replaced with dark, opaque colors instead.Īn agent with a Deafen debuff will have their audio severely dampened and their minimap will become obscured. Once the blind's duration expires, its effects will gradually disappear from the player's screen over 1 second.Īn agent with a Nearsight debuff is deafened and will have their vision radius capped to a very short length, causing them to only be able to see what's immediately in front of them up to a maximum radius. The plasma will leave some visibility around the edges of the screen. At especially large distances it is possible for a player to not be blinded at all, even if they are directly looking at the flash on detonation.Īn agent with a Plasma Blind debuff has their vision obstructed by a plasma blast, covering most of their screen. At large distances, the further away from the flash the player is, the less time they will be blinded for. Players who have turned away from directly looking at the flash or have their backs to it will only be slightly blinded for a very brief time. Players looking directly at the flash on detonation will be blinded for the full duration. The duration of the flash is dependent on where the target is facing and the distance between them and the flash. When an ability that emits a flash detonates, any agent and some utility in its line of sight will become flashed. Once the flash's duration expires, its effects will gradually disappear from the player's screen over 1 second. An agent with a Flash debuff has their vision replaced with an opaque, colored screen. Released simultaneously with We All Stand Together, the film went on to become the biggest selling video of 1985 in the UK, earning Paul a Grammy nomination in the process as well as seeing him win a revered Ivor Novello Award for Best Film Soundtrack and picking up a BAFTA for Best Animated Short Film. The film saw Paul voice the character of Rupert and featured the voices of the beloved British TV icons June Whitfield (as Rupert’s mother) and Windsor Davies (Father Frog). Written and produced by Paul and directed by Geoff, Rupert and The Frog Song was eventually released in 1984. ![]() The film has now been fully restored in 4k as well as getting a new audio mix. In September 2004 the film was released for the first time on DVD to mark its 20th Anniversary as part of the ‘Paul McCartney – Music & Animation Collection.The song was the focal point of Rupert and The Frog Song - a short animated film that Paul began work on in 1981 with animator Geoff Dunbar. The film was also released theatrically as an accompaniment to Paul’s feature film ‘Give my Regards to Broad Street’. In 1984, the year of its release, it won a UK BAFTA (British Academy Award) for Best Animated Short Film. The making of the short film began in 1981 and ended in 1983. The latest release came in 2016 on the deluxe version of the greatest hits album ‘Pure McCartney.’ Fast forward more than a decade and it was made available as the B-Side to his 2004 single ‘Tropic Island Hum’. ![]() The video was released simultaneously and became the biggest selling video of 1985 as well being nominated for the ‘Best Music Video – Short Form’ at the Grammy Awards in 1986. The song was later included on Paul’s greatest hits album ‘All The Best’ in 1987 and subsequently appeared as a bonus track on the 1993 re-master of his 1983 ‘Pipes of Peace’ album. ‘We All Stand Together’ was eventually released in November 1984 and reached number 3 on the UK charts. ![]() The song ‘Storm’ was also a re-working of ‘Sea’. ‘Sea Melody’ eventually appeared on Paul McCartney’s 1997 album ‘Standing Stone’. Track 5 dates back to The Beatles ‘Let It Be’ sessions in 1969 while many others were recorded from 1974 onwards. ![]() The tracklisting for the film was as follows: The songs for the feature length film were recorded in 1978 all in one day (although some demos from the songs were recorded in the early 1970’s by Paul McCartney and Wings). This was put into action in the mid 1970’s but unfortunately the featurette was shelved and most of the recordings of music and narration by Paul McCartney remain unreleased to this day. Paul’s original idea was to make a full feature length film about Rupert the Bear with animator Oscar Grillo co-leading the project. He dug out his old Rupert the Bear seasonal annuals and wrote the song ‘We All Stand Together’, basing the idea of the song (and animation) on a picture drawn by Alfred Bestall, that appeared in the 1958 Rupert Bear Annual, as seen below. ‘Rupert and the Frog Song’ was made in 1984 and was the brainchild of music legend Paul McCartney (now Sir Paul) and the animation was lead by Geoff Dunbar.Paul’s inspiration for the ‘Rupert and the Frog Song’ stemmed from the realisation that something he loved so much as a child was a firm favourite with his own children. ![]() Amicus Cloud:Practice management and billing in a cloud-based app for small firmsĪmicus Attorney and AbacusLaw are downloadable software you can use on local servers or through a private cloud for easy access and sharing that’s still secure.Īll solutions include features for both case management and invoicing and billing.AbacusLaw:Practice management software with built-in accounting.Amicus Attorney:Legal practice management software that integrates with QuickBooks and Microsoft 365.It offers three products for firms, depending on your size and needs: Upgrade to Premier to gain greater business insights and hands-off billing.ĪbacusNext has been producing legal management software since 1983.
