Tanning bed

A sunbed (British English), tanning bed (American English) or sun tanning bed is a device that emits ultraviolet radiation (typically 95% UVA and 5% UVB, +/-3%) to produce a cosmetic tan. Regular tanning beds use several fluorescent lamps that have phosphor blends designed to emit UV in a spectrum that is somewhat similar to the sun. Smaller, home tanning beds usually have 12 to 28 100 watt lamps while systems found in tanning salons can consist of 24 to 60 lamps, each of 100 to 200 watts.

There are also "high pressure" tanning beds that generate primarily UVA with some UVB by using highly specialized quartz lamps, reflector systems and filters. These are much more expensive, thus less commonly used. A tanning booth is similar to a tanning bed, but the person stands while tanning and the typical power output of booths is higher.

Because of the adverse effects on human health of overexposure to UV radiation, including skin cancer, cataracts, and premature skin aging, the World Health Organization does not recommend the use of UV tanning devices for cosmetic reasons. Studies have shown that tanning bed usage is associated with an increased risk of skin cancer, including melanoma. Misusing a sunbed by not wearing goggles may also lead to a condition known as arc eye (snow blindness). Occasional acute injuries occur where users carelessly fall asleep, as in the case of Marty Cordova.

Sniped

by: Cky

Target locked a ruthless act
You're poised to get your basis back, how detrimental
Pathetic basket case that went unheard
As innocence, a dirty word, is annihilated
Gumption used for wrong result
To carry out the cruel assault, the blood to be frozen
Creeping in with added sense
Your conscience just a smal pretense, it's fabricated
Insate forgiveness right before the sin
The state your brain is in, it's complicated
Here's a change of plans instead
When someone else is steps ahead the hunter's been hunted!
Didn't you get to see your (faceless crime turned on you? sniped from behind)
(sniped x5)
You didn't get to see your (faceless crime turned on you?, sniped from behind)

You didn't get to see your (faceless crime turned on you? sniped from behind)
(sniped x5)
Precision of the bullet block without a chance to
Sense the shock
Living is fleeing
A human being snuffed for game
You only have yourself to blame, it's so deceiving
Gumption used for wrong result has failed to nail
The cruel assualt
Your blood is freezing
Taken up before the strike
The sickest minds they think alike, your plan deleted
Unbeknownst to those below, the innocent are free to go,
Unviolated
Let this be a lesson learned for all content to let it burn,
You get yours first!
