Secret of Mana is a 1993
action role-playing game in the
Mana series, developed and published by
Square for the
Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The sequel to the 1991 game Final Fantasy Adventure (Mystic Quest in Europe), the game follows three heroes as they attempt to prevent an empire from conquering the world from an ancient flying warship. Unlike other role-playing games of the time, it features
pausable real-time battles. A
cooperativemultiplayer system allows a second or third player to drop in and out of the game at any time. Secret of Mana was directed and designed by
Koichi Ishii, programmed primarily by
Nasir Gebelli(pictured), and produced by veteran Square designer
Hiromichi Tanaka. The game received considerable acclaim for its brightly colored graphics, expansive plot, innovative menus, and real-time battle system. Critics also praised the soundtrack by
Hiroki Kikuta and the customizable
artificial intelligence settings for computer-controlled allies. The original version was re-released for the
Wii's
Virtual Console in 2008, an additional release for mobile phones in Japan was produced in 2009, and an enhanced port of the game was released for
iOS in 2010 and
Android in 2014. (

Many cutaneous conditions affect the human
integumentary system—the
organ system covering the entire surface of the
body and composed of
skin,
hair,
nails, and related
muscle and
glands. This broad spectrum of conditions includes diseases, such as
measles(pictured), as well as many nonpathologic states, such as
melanonychia and
racquet nails in certain circumstances. Classification of these conditions often presents many
nosological challenges, since underlying etiologies and pathogenetics are often not known. While only a small number of skin diseases account for most visits to the
physician, thousands of skin conditions have been described. Clinically, the diagnosis of any particular skin condition is made by gathering pertinent information regarding the presenting
skin lesion(s). Diagnosis of many conditions often also requires a
skin biopsy which yields
histologic information that can be correlated with the clinical presentation and any laboratory data. (Full list...)
The earliest reliably dated photograph of people, taken by
Louis Daguerre one spring morning in 1838 from the window of the Diorama, where he lived and worked. It bears the caption huit heures du matin (8 a.m.). Though it shows the busy
Boulevard du Temple, the long exposure time (about ten or twelve minutes) meant that moving traffic cannot be seen; however, the
bootblack and his customer at lower left remained still long enough to be distinctly visible. The building signage at the upper left shows that the image is laterally (left-right) reversed, as were most
daguerreotypes.
