The DDC follows Agile methodology (a framework used to deliver complex solutions with high productivity, creativity and high-quality products), to ensure the services we deliver have the end user's needs at the forefront.
We are looking for the right candidates to take on the Scrum Master role, support our future expansion plans and join our team of Scrum Masters currently working in the area.
The Focus of Your Role
Within a development team following Agile methodology there are three roles including Scrum Master, Product Owner and the Development Team. The Scrum Master role involves 'leading from the back' alongside these other stakeholders.
Your role will be to support and facilitate a new/existing development team in the area.

You will work with stakeholders both internal and external and may also manage training requests/approve any annual/sick leave for the team.
The Scrum Master role allows a development team to stay focussed on the task, by facilitating anything the team needs, mentoring the team into following Agile practices (Scrum Guide by Scrum.org) to ensure efficiency and continuous improvement.
Ensure the consistent, reliable and repeatable delivery of Digital Services by the Agile Delivery teams through the promotion of Agile/Scrum principles and practices and by mentoring and coaching individual team members to optimise these methodologies for enhanced delivery
Remove blockers to successful delivery
Act as an escalation and first point of contact for the team

Drive consistent reporting/progress updates on sprint activity to senior management and other stakeholders
Undertake other Agile awareness activities, as required, across the business to build Agile awareness
What you'll bring
An interest in Agile delivery Methodology (experience desired)
Experience of coaching, mentoring and managing others
Advocate of continuous improvement and subject matter expertise desired
Ability to work with and collaborate with software development teams, product managers, operations managers and other digital centres to ensure resources including technologies and processes are in place to allow teams to work effectively

Clear thinking and creative flair
What we'll offer you
Professional development. Accelerated career progression. An environment that encourages entrepreneurial spirit. It's all on offer at Capgemini.

At Capgemini, we help organisations across the world become more agile, more competitive and more successful. Smart, tailored, often ground-breaking technical solutions to complex problems are the norm. But, so too, is a culture that's as collaborative as it is forward thinking. Working closely with each other, and with our clients, we get under the skin of businesses and to the heart of their goals.
Capgemini is proud to represent nearly 130 nationalities and its cultural diversity. Our holistic definition of diversity extends beyond gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, race, age and religion.

We want to make sure that we find the right people to work in our teams, and we know that working full-time isn't necessarily right for everyone. So, we'd love to hear from you if you feel you're a great fit for this role and would like to work flexibly.
Some of our roles may require security clearance. To meet security clearance requirements, you will need to have lived in the UK for the past five years. If you have spent more than six months outside the UK in that period, we will unfortunately not be able to consider you for the role.
At Capgemini, academics form part of our overall hiring decision but we don't screen out purely on the basis of academic performance. We will assess your suitability for a role using a number of tools including strengths and critical reasoning assessments, video assessment and assessment centres.

The end of the year is traditionally a good time to tackle tax planning, but this year's tax reform has narrowed the window of opportunity a bit.
While some uncertainty remains, there are a few strategies you can take in 2017 to lower your tax liability with limited downside risk should the bill fail to become law.
The deductions for state and local income taxes as well as property taxes are limited in 2018 to $10,000, so it is best to accelerate these payments when possible.
For example, when we run tax projections for clients at Plancorp, the client sometimes has a 2017 tax liability that will be due in April 2018. By paying the 2017 state and local tax liability now, the federal deduction for those items are not subject to the $10,000 cap.
With accelerated state and local income taxes, you can only deduct amounts related to 2017 tax liabilities. However, this limitation does not apply to property taxes, so go ahead and pay 2018 property tax if you have the liquidity to do so.
This strategy is not applicable to taxpayers subject to Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) in 2017 since any state and local taxes are added back under AMT.
If you have any control over the timing of your income, you may consider accelerating income you might otherwise recognize in 2018. For example, if you are planning to exercise options or realize capital gains in 2018 to generate liquidity for your cash flow needs, then go ahead and do that in 2017 instead.
If you're in a state with an income tax rate greater 6% and you are not in AMT for 2017, the ability to deduct the related state income taxes on accelerated income would outweigh the reduced top bracket in 2018 (39.6% versus 37%).
This strategy applies to single filers with taxable income exceeding $500,000 or married filing jointly taxpayers not in AMT with taxable income exceeding $600,000.
The standard deduction increases from $6,350 to $12,000 for single filers and from $12,700 to $24,000 for married filers. The higher standard deduction means that some of the things you've itemized on your tax return in the past might not be itemized in the future.
If you think your 2018 itemized deductions will not exceed the new standard deduction, consider accelerating things such as charitable contributions through the use of a donor advised fund. If you plan to give $10,000 to charity in 2018, make that gift to a donor advised fund in 2017 to realize the deduction this year and then use donor advised fund to grant money to the charities of your choice in 2018 or beyond.
If you have the flexibility, then making multiple years worth of charitable donations to a donor advised fund in 2017 could make a lot of sense.
One of the best education planning tools just got better. The new tax bill expands the eligible uses for funds in a 529 plan to be used for K-12 tuition up to $10,000 annually beginning in 2018. Previously, funds in a 529 plan could only be used for post-secondary education expenses.
If your state allows an income tax deduction for 529 contributions and you have not already maxed out that deduction, the consider funding a 529 to take advantage of that state tax deduction. Each state has different deductions related to 529, so be sure to review the rules regarding your state.
Keep in mind that 529 plan contributions are subject to gift tax rules, so you need to be mindful if you have made other gifts to the 529 plan beneficiary in 2017 before making a contribution.
If you are a business owner, you can fully take advantage of the new 100% expensing of qualified business property in 2018 through 2022. However, you may realize an even greater benefit for a deduction in 2017, since the tax rates under current law are generally higher than the new tax rates which will apply beginning in 2018.
Tax rates are set to generally decrease and a 20% deduction will be allowed against Qualified Business Income. However, the 100% expensing of qualified business property provision is one of the few that was made retroactive. It applies to both new and used qualified business property placed into service after September 27, 2017.
While these five strategies offer low downside risk, there are many other implications to consider such as medical deductions, mortgage interest changes, AMT changes, Roth conversions, business implications, estate tax and generation skipping tax exemptions.
Given all of the moving parts, working with a financial advisor to run a detailed tax projection can help minimize error and maximize opportunity.

It was good news indeed to have learned that the Cambridge-based English poet Clive Wilmer was awarded the 2018 Janus Pannonius Prize for Translation. Wilmer and myself have been friends for nearly five decades co-translating modern Hungarian poetry into English, our joint efforts resulting in two books by Miklós Radnóti, one selection from János Pilinszky's poems and two books by György Petri. Our second Petri book Eternal Monday published by Bloodaxe even made it into the final of the prestigious Weidenfeld Prize for Translation in 2001, as the only book of poetry amongst five volumes of fiction.
Apart from those mentioned above we have translated many other Hungarian poets, some of them to be found in the 1996 selection The Colonnade of Teeth edited by George Szirtes and myself. This anthology (also by Bloodaxe Books) comprised verse by 35 Hungarian poets from Lőrinc Szabó to Győző Ferencz, amongst them several contemporary Transylvanians, such as Béla Markó, Géza Szőcs and Sándor Kányádi. Kányádi I have known since 1956 and forty years later already considered him as one of the best poets writing in Hungarian. He believed in the power of the spoken word and managed to write equally well both for older and younger readers – in fact, during the oppressive Ceauşescu regime he was editing a Hungarian-language magazine for children which was essential for the cultural survival of the ethnic Hungarian minority in Romania. Four of his poems were included in The Colonnade of Teeth, three of which we reprint here, remembering the poet who passed away recently.


An interactive introduction to butterflies, this book abounds with vibrant pictures of these amazingly hardy creatures that are found "everywhere in the world except for Antarctica." Did you know that the Pilgrims named the monarch butterfly after King James I of England? Or that there are more species of butterflies in Alaska than in Hawaii? Mikula explains the lore of butterflies and how it has inspired people's respect, awe, and even fear. Human activities and pollution are threatening the survival of these long-loved insects. Mikula demonstrates how we can better care for butterflies by providing food, water, and shelter for them in a backyard garden or window box. Other features of the book include ideas for projects such as making a caterpillar incubator, tips on identifying butterflies, and suggestions about how to start your own butterfly farm.

Following tests, North's latest weapon system closer to becoming operational
A multiple rocket launcher is North Korea's newest weapon with most of South Korea within its range. Yesterday, it carried out a fourth test, raising concerns among experts because of shorter time interval between each single launch.
Seoul (AsiaNews/Agencies) – North Korea is closer to having an impressive multiple rocket launcher, South Korean experts warn a day after Pyongyang's latest test. However, questions remain over the system's reliability and precision.
Yesterday, North Korea fired two short-range projectiles from Yeonpo (South Hamgyong province) into the East Sea, flying for about 380 kilometres at a maximum altitude of about 97 km, this according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).
Yesterday's was the fourth test of the system, following other tests on 24 August, 10 September and 31 October.
Whilst few differences were spotted in the flight ranges and the maximum altitudes of the projectiles fired from the system so far, the interval between the projectiles fired this time was much shorter. The gap between the two was only 30 seconds, compared to 17 minutes in the first test, 19 minutes in the second, and three minutes in the third.
"The primary purpose of the latest test is to verify its continuous-fire system, and the 30-second interval means that North Korea was quite successful in securing the capabilities that its leader Kim Jong-un has called for," said Shin Jong-woo, a senior analyst at the Korea Defence Security Forum in Seoul.
For Prof Kim Dong-yup of Kyungnam University, "Now that it also proved the successive firing system, North Korea appears to be prepared soon for mass production and deployment".
The projectiles in all four tests are believed to have been fired from land, with the launcher fixed on the ground. Now "The North also needs tests to verify its precision, as well as to ensure if it is reliable enough to be used for field operations," Shin said.
The launcher is thought to be a 600-millimetre calibre one, with a maximum range of around 400 kilometres, putting most of South Korea within its reach. It is one of the five new types of weapons North Korea showed off during the 13 rounds of tests so far this year.
Testing began in May after an 18-month hiatus in the wake of the failure of the second summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim over denuclearisation and sanctions.
The two sides held talks last month for the first time since the breakdown, but have not yet managed to reach any tangible progress.

Embark the ship in Paris, moored near the city centre. The friendly crew will welcome you on board, helping you settle into your spacious and exquisitely furnished accommodation – you'll immediately feel at home. This evening you enjoy your first sumptuous dinner, served in the ship's restaurant.
This afternoon we drive to nearby Gold Beach, one of the designated landing sites on D-Day, when Allied forces, the majority being American, British and Canadian troops, surged into Normandy to begin the liberation of occupied Europe. The target 50-mile stretch of the coast was divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword. Casting your eyes across the sand to the water's edge, it's sobering to consider that on 6 June 1944 around 25,000 British troops came ashore on this one beach with 400 killed by the defenders. It has been estimated that by the day's end approximately 156,000 Allied troops had successfully stormed Normandy's beaches but suffered over 10,000 casualties - although more recent research suggests the figure may be significantly higher; it is now thought that there were over 4,000 Allied fatalities, the majority of which were sustained by American forces at Omaha, the largest of the beaches. At the western end of the shoreline is the village of Arromanches, where there is a museum dedicated to the 'longest day' and you can still see remnants of the two Mulberry harbours constructed for the landing craft. After a day recalling such momentous events and the stories surrounding them, thoughts turn again to the culinary delights awaiting you in the refined comfort of the ship's restaurant.
This morning at the appropriate time, we disembark in Paris and you continue your onward journey.
Prices are per person, based on two people sharing a twin cabin with a limited number of single cabins available on all decks, at the relevant supplement. The price includes full board from dinner on your day of arrival until breakfast on your final day (excluding one lunch); if you choose to travel with us on any of the full day excursions by coach, a packed lunch will be provided. Anyone choosing to stay on the ship may of course have lunch in the restaurant; morning/afternoon tea and coffee; all visits and excursions as mentioned in the brochure, coach travel as mentioned and the services of a Riviera Travel Cruise Director.

2MB1
National origin: Japan
First flight: ca 1926
Primary user: Imperial Japanese Army
Number built: 48
Developed from: Mitsubishi B1M
The Mitsubishi 2MB1 (service designation 八七式軽爆撃機, "Type 87 Light Bomber") was a light bomber produced in Japan in the mid 1920s to equip the Imperial Japanese Army. It was developed in parallel to the 2MB2, but while that aircraft featured an innovative and unorthodox design, the 2MB1 was a more conservative approach based closely on the 2MT carrier-based torpedo bomber that was already in production for the Imperial Japanese Navy. Like the 2MT, the 2MB1 was a conventional two-bay biplane with open cockpits in tandem and fixed tailskid undercarriage. The 2MT's Napier engine and side-mounted radiators were exchanged for a Hispano-Suiza engine and frontal radiator, and specific naval features such as folding wings were deleted.
The type saw action in the early stages of Japan's Invasion of Manchuria in 1931, but ir was found to be obsolete and was soon relegated to training duties.

Welcome to Blissful Bhakti Babe!
Hello beautiful people of the web!
I am so, so excited about this dream of mine FINALLY becoming a reality. I have been dreaming of this blog/and more exciting things to come for a few years now but as most of us do, I just always doubted my ability. My "inner critic" always overcame me as I was just about to press the publish button….but not this time. I just recently attended a workshop called "Work of Heart" put on by a friend of mine, Angela MacIntyre Harris- check her out on instagram/facebook, http://www.workofheart.me you won't regret it!
Anyway, during this workshop there were many guest speakers who spoke of their dreams and how for so long they doubted themselves, selling themselves short. By doing so, they were living a limited life, living in their own shadow. The whole day resonated with me as I have so many dreams to help and inspire women with yoga/meditation/mindfulness, etc. And the lesson I took away was to stop second guessing myself and to stop worrying about what other people will think. I. Am. Ready. I am here. I am enough.
So- I guess to start by describing a little bit about myself.
I am a wife to a wonderful man, Matt. We have been together for over 15 years and best friends before that. We met at a beautiful place called Camp Centennial, where we worked as counselors. We were active in outdoor activities, like canoeing, camping, climbing and rappelling….and more.
Matt and I got together and a few years after, he unfortunately had a rock climbing accident, falling over 40 feet onto a ledge with 20 feet beneath him. He broke his neck (C6-C7 vertebrae) and is now a quadriplegic.
We got married, and after a long trialing time with fertility issues (due to his injury for the most part) we were able to conceive two BEAUTIFUL twin girls, Lily and Leah.
The girls are now five, and we are REALLY enjoying this time in our lives. I am teaching Yoga, and English in my high school, the girls are in Kindergarten (where does the time go???) and Matt is working as an Environmental Engineer and also competes nationally in hand cycling!
I also LOVE to travel, and will be talking about this as well.
This blog will represent me and my family in many ways. I want to just connect to people and talk about things that bring me bliss…..that is MANY things….retreats, YOGA, meditation, mindfulness, books, my family, traveling, etc.
That is it for now, Blissful Bhakti Babes! Thanks for listening and welcoming me to this wonderful world. I am so excited for the future and all the amazing possibilities!
Can hardly wait to follow your journey!

Mobilizing direct legal aid and systemic policy advocacy, The International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) serves the world's most persecuted individuals and empowers the next generation of human rights leaders. It leverages individual casework to advocate for reforms to refugee resettlement policy in the United States and among United Nations member states. IRAP brings together law students and pro bono attorneys to provide comprehensive legal aid to refugees throughout their lengthy registration, protection, and resettlement processes. IRAP works to identify and empower many of the world's most at-risk refugees, including female survivors of sexual or gender-based violence; Iraqis and Afghans persecuted for their work with the U.S. military, media, or NGOs; LGBTI individuals; religious minorities subject to targeted violence; and children with medical emergencies for which local treatment is not available. IRAP was a project housed at the Urban Justice Center until December 2018. While pushing for largescale reforms, IRAP continues to provide unparalleled legal services to refugees seeking resettlement and safe, new beginnings.

Farney Castle
Farney Castle is a wonderful, architecturally diverse building nestled in beautiful grounds surrounded by a myriad of ancient and rare trees. The medieval round tower was built in 1495 and the octagonal neo-Gothic tower was built in the 1700s. Farney is home to the Cullen Family. Cyril and Margie Cullen run a knitwear and porcelain design and production business from the castle. They converted the original old Courtyard stables of the estate into studios and workshops.
Cyril's knitwear and ceramic designs are available to purchase in, what was, the original dairy and old kitchen of the castle. Shopping at Farney Castle is a unique experience and Cyril and Margie love to welcome visitors to their home. Tours of the castle are available daily but visitors are advised to book in advance by calling 0504-43281 or emailing farneycastle@eircom.net.
Cyril says: 'It is a joy to live and work in a place steeped in Irish history and surrounded by nature and tranquility. Margie and I and our four daughters, love our home and we enjoy welcoming visitors to see and purchase our knitwear and porcelain creations in this beautiful setting. I like to personally give the tours to groups and I explain the history and story behind the building and the treasures inside. I am an avid collector of curiosities from all over the world and each item has a unique provenance. A tour of Farney Castle is not a typical tour of an ancient building – groups are treated to a tour of a family home filled with beautiful, interesting things.'

Daly City station is an elevated Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in Daly City, California, just south of the city limits of San Francisco. It is adjacent to Interstate 280 and California Route 1, which it serves as a park-and-ride station.

From its November 5, 1973 opening until the extension to Colma station in 1996, Daly City was the southern terminus of BART on the Peninsula and the only station that was not in one of the three base counties of San Francisco, Alameda and Contra Costa. It still serves as the terminus for some services that do not continue to the other San Mateo County stations.

Station layout

The station has three tracks with an island platform between the east tracks and a side platform next to the west track. The side platform is used primarily by southbound trains continuing on to SFO Airport or Millbrae. The island platform is used primarily by northbound trains and by southbound trains terminating at the station. Southbound trains terminating at Daly City reverse their direction to make the return trip to San Francisco and the East Bay, unless they are going out of service at the rail yard in Colma.

Bus connections

Daly City station is served by a number of SamTrans and Muni bus routes. Most routes use the Niantic Avenue busway on the east side of the station; Muni route 54 and the shuttle routes stop on the west side of the station.

Lebanon, is a relatively small country on the Mediterranean coast and home to 3.6 million people. More than 400,000 Palestinian refugees live in Lebanon – living in refugee camps and most recently the country has been a haven for people fleeing the conflict in Syria. Due to the unique circumstances in the country, many rely on humanitarian aid for survival.
Islamic Relief began working in Lebanon in response to a humanitarian crisis caused by war in July 2006. Islamic Relief responded to the crisis with distributions of food, clean water, hygiene kits, sleeping mats and hot meals to thousands of displaced people across the country. Islamic Relief was the first international aid agency to reach the people of Qana in southern Lebanon as only two other international relief agencies were active in the surrounding areas at the time.
Once the fighting ceased, Islamic Relief began focusing on rebuilding the war-torn country, such as hospital rehabilitation and water facility repairs.
Islamic Relief is still actively working in remote rural areas of Lebanon along the southern border, where conditions have not improved as quickly as in other parts of the country, primarily improving the water facilities.
However, since the advent of the war in Syria, hundreds of thousands of people have fled to Lebanon in search of safety and security, with a number of refugee camps being established. The new influx of refugees has stretched the resources of the country further and Islamic Relief is working in the refugee camps of Lebanon to provide emergency food, water, shelter and essential family supplies, such as blankets.

VA Honors Vietnam Vets for Service and Sacrifice
A man captures a pencil rubbing of a Servicemember's name engraved on the Vietnam Wall.
By Hans Petersen
It's time for Americans to show their appreciation to those who served, especially those who continued to sacrifice long after the war ended.
As part of the 50th Commemoration of the Vietnam War, VA and 29 states and territories are marking the anniversary of the final withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam with a day of appreciation celebrated on March 29.
"Our nation's Vietnam War Commemoration is a long-overdue opportunity for all Americans to recognize, honor, and thank our Vietnam Veterans and their families for their service during one of America's longest wars."
—Robert A. McDonald
Secretary, Department of Veterans Affairs
Across America today, March 29, Vietnam Veterans Day, VA medical centers and other facilities will be saying "Thank You" to millions of Vietnam Veterans for their sacrifice on behalf of the United States and will thank and honor the families of these Veterans.
The VA medical center in Philadelphia is named the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center. Corporal Crescenz is the only Vietnam-era serviceman from the Philadelphia area to receive the Medal of Honor.
Dr. Himanshu Singh, Acting Director is sending a letter to all Vietnam Veterans enrolled at the Aleda E. Lutz Medical Center in Saginaw, Mich., which says in part, "Many of you never received a thank you when you were discharged from active duty. We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your commitment and sacrifice. Your dedication to serving when your country called on you will never be forgotten."

The Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, S.C., is named after a Vietnam Veteran who posthumously was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Read his story here. The medical center also honors Pfc. Dennis Lee Lobbezoo, a young Marine who lost his life in 1968 during the Vietnam War, with the statue pictured above. The sculpture was created by Vietnam Veteran Dr. Edward Byrd.
Lt. Col. Nathan Molica of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Charleston, S.C. VA Medical Center Director Scott Isaacks recognize Vietnam Veterans.
The Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center also handed out special Vietnam 50th Commemorative lapel pins to Veterans who served in Vietnam. Medical Center Director Scott Isaacks and Lt. Col. Nathan Molica, Deputy Commander of the US Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District, presented the pins.
Michael J. Fitzmaurice, retired plumber at the Sioux Falls VA Medical Center, is South Dakota's only surviving Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. Vietnam Army Veteran Fitzmaurice served other Veterans as a VA plumber from 1987-2011. A humble man, he never mentioned that he earned America's highest award for valor for his heroic actions at Khe Sanh, Republic of Vietnam in 1971. Read his story here.

5 Unicorn Skincare Products Designed to Keep Gay Men Looking Their Best
Written by Stephan Horbelt on February 23, 2017
While it might have been in the past, skincare is no longer just for women. Of course, that's not a new concept for gay men, whose medicine cabinets often resemble the product-lined walls of a high-end spa. But in the world of skincare, products that are designed by and for men are still surprisingly lacking. One company — Unicorn Skincare, based out of Taiwan — has done a stellar job of cornering that men's skincare market, producing facial, body and lifestyle products for the man who wants to treat himself like a king.
Unicorn Skincare broke into the market in 2015 with the release of its Buttocks Lift Mask — a patented, innovative product that hadn't been seen before. Since then, using cutting-edge technology and a passion for creating the products their male users want to see, Unicorn branched out into several body skincare products. In 2016, Unicorn began to develop facial products along with lifestyle gear, expanding from men's bodies to the bigger picture.
GQ Taiwan considered Unicorn Skincare as part of its 2015 Best Men's Skincare Products, and Unicorn has also worked in partnership with popular men's underwear label 2(x)ist.
Perhaps most importantly, though, Unicorn Skincare considers "breaking biases" to be its main mission, and in its home of Taiwan, the brand has dedicated time and resources to supporting the local LGBTQ community. Unicorn has participated in Taiwan Pride for two years in a row, has sponsored events including the seventh annual Energy Cup (the largest LGBT sports game in Taiwan) and Taiwan's International Queer Film Festival, and has led an LGBT-friendly corporate union urging the country's government to support gay marriage.
Now that is an example of how business can make a difference!
Below we take a look at five of Unicorn Skincare's leading products for men, from the exciting item that started it all to other body and facial skincare products.
1. Buttock Lift Mask
The product that put Unicorn on the map is a first in the world of men's skincare products, though we don't see why women seeking a little butt lift couldn't partake as well. The mask uses galactoarabinana, a polysaccharide, to promote skin cell renewal and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Before using, place the mask in the freezer or heat it up for even better results. A great gift to enjoy with your partner, "It hydrates, smoothes and tones your buttocks skin in the most gentle way," says Unicorn Co-Founder Johnny Shih. $40
2. Sculpting Abdomen Gel
Great for guys who like to get sweaty, this gel purports to strengthen abdominal fat burn, maximizing your workout performance. Just apply it before exercising. It uses a synthetic peptide to firm and lift, toning and conditioning the skin. "The gel produces a slight heating sensation that varies with the intensity of the workout, "says Shih. $40
3. Anti-Acne Body Lotion
Combat acne with this salicylic acid-equipped lotion that will unclog pores, reduce blemishes and prevent future breakouts on your face and body. The lotion's glycolic acid will hydrate, treat discoloration and give you a more even-toned complexion, while herbal extracts (chamomile, magnolia bark and camellia sinensis leaf) will soothe and hydrate your skin. $44
4. Body Massage Oil
"With an essential oil mix of Ylang Ylang, geranium and bergamot orange, this massage oil soothes, calms, softens and nourishes the skin," says Shih. It's an in-house formula that uses a variety of botanical essential oils, only from all-natural ingredients. $43
5. Facial Hair Growth Nutrient
Meant for eyebrows, beards, moustaches and sideburns, this growth nutrient uses natural herb ingredients to grow and thicken facial hair. Best used after cleaning your face, you're supposed to massage it into desired areas for a few minutes. "This is one of Asian men's favorite essentials," Shih says. $44

Transcontinental autoists braved hardships
by Wayne E. Reilly October 13, 2012
I received an email recently from a reader who had discovered among some family papers a printed account of a nearly century-old automobile expedition from Bangor to San Diego, Calif., by four adventurers. Karen Walker of Veazie wondered who these old-time autoists were. Their names were not familiar to her.
Oddly enough, my wife and I received this intriguing query while on the last leg of our own cross-country auto odyssey between Bangor and California. I read the email over several times trying to figure out how my correspondent knew we were cruising through Illinois on our way back from San Francisco, but, of course, she didn't know. It was just a coincidence.
Anyone who has driven to California in modern times knows that much of the trip between New York and Chicago is monotonous and stressful because of heavy truck traffic and the dreary rust-belt landscape. Every shopping mall and chain hotel looks like the last one, as well. But I'll try not to complain too much. The hazards and hardships faced by drivers in 1923, especially after they crossed the Mississippi River, were much worse than today.
The firsthand account found by Karen Walker described what it was like to drive cross-country 89 years ago — long before most dirt roads were replaced by interstates or even pavement. The first cross-country auto trip had been accomplished 20 years before. By 1923 many people had made the trip, but it wasn't easy.
I wondered: Where did they take a break before Turnpike rest areas existed? How did they stay awake in the summer heat before air conditioning? What did they do when the road disappeared in the desert? Who did they call when their auto sank up to its hubcaps in the mud during a rainstorm? West of the Mississippi River motorists were urged to call ahead in case of long detours, washouts or worse — was there any road at all?
Myron T. Gilmore, a 76-year-old Dedham, Maine native, led the expedition. In the early 1880s, he left Maine for California, one of thousands of Mainers who sought their fortunes in the West. The former farmer and blacksmith worked his way up to the presidency of the San Diego Savings Bank. He was now a wealthy widower with lots of energy.
Gilmore was accompanied on this auto journey by his niece-in-law Alice M. Parker, another Maine transplant to California. After both her parents died, one in Maine and one in California, she ended up being raised by the Gilmores. (Readers can find more information on these family connections in Martha Emery's history of Dedham and on various websites).
The other two voyagers were the Rev. Roy H. Campbell and his wife Mary Burleigh Campbell. The Campbells suggested the journey to their friend Gilmore after a visit from two female Bostonians who had motored between Boston and San Diego and back in a Ford sedan the year before. Gilmore, who was known as an advocate of good roads like so many progressives of the day, planned the details.
The former Dedham selectman picked up a powerful, new Demi Sedan Franklin at the automobile company's production plant in Syracuse, N.Y., early in July and met his niece in Massachusetts a short time later. They drove around New England visiting relatives, including "many households of Gilmores, Parkers, Pearls and Blacks" in Maine. Gilmore also attended the regimental reunion of the Fifteenth Maine with which he had served in the Civil War.
On Aug. 9, Gilmore and Parker left Bangor with an official letter of greeting from Mayor Albert Day to the mayor of San Diego. That's how noteworthy this trip would be. After picking up the Campbells in Boston, the group headed southwest through Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio, noting historical markers and other sights — especially at Gettysburg where Gilmore had served in the Union Army.
They often traveled on the best roads of the day, with names like the Storm King Highway and the Washington-Braddock Highway. Another one, the Lincoln Highway, was the first transcontinental road across the United States, but by then it had not been fully paved. Today people can see brief glimpses of preserved portions of the Lincoln Highway as they drive through small towns in the Midwest.
The adventures began with a narrow escape in Dayton, Ohio, when "a reckless boy on a milk truck dashes onto the highway." Swerving to avoid disaster, the auto "hurdles a stone culvert and hangs suspended over an interurban track." A crowd gathered and "half a hundred willing hands" lifted the auto off the track.
Someone flagged down the trolley while another person swept up the broken milk bottles. The auto received only a bent fender. There was no mention of police, insurance, ambulances or any other official involvement in this near catastrophe before seat belts, shatterproof glass and other safety features.
The first really "bad roads" appeared in Illinois. Missouri abounded in detours for road construction. The country roads there twisted and turned, "attesting to the farmers' bloc that demands to be shown why country roads should be straightened."
Deteriorating conditions as the fearless band moved West included a frightening ferry ride across the Missouri River on a boat "of a most antiquated sort." The first flat tire occurred in Kansas City, a pretty good record back then, when flats were expected every few miles. Two more flats occurred between Topeka and Manhattan, Kansas. They "crawled" into Abilene "on the rim."
Mud required the use of chains back then, just as snow does today. "After skidding into Salina, we acquired chains, none too soon, and traded two 'bruised' tires for new ones," stated the trip's composite account.
The next day they made a record run of 235 miles over poor roads between Russell, Kan. and Burlington, Colo. They "followed paths of Fremont, Custer and Kit Carson, and looked somewhat indifferently at '57 varieties of wheat' each side of the muddy road." On today's interstates you would hardly notice such details.
Each of the three drivers careened into a ditch at least once, many of the roads apparently having no shoulders.
They "swam into Denver" and headed south by Colorado Springs, climbing up and over the 8,000-foot Raton Pass into New Mexico. Catastrophes dotted the road ahead as they moved toward Albuquerque. A truck suddenly tipped over into a ditch, its tires spinning in the air and gasoline "spurting out like a small geyser." A pedestrian was struck by a carelessly driven car.
The roads grew still worse. Cloudbursts "drowned the landscape." A side trip to the Grand Canyon had to be canceled due to flooding. They splashed through miles of shallow pools by moonlight as they experienced two days of "atrocious roads full of mud holes."
The adventurers "wandered in circles" looking for the best way through a maze of badly rutted trails in the desert landscape. Finally they were completely stuck in the mud miles from any town. Luckily, a "service car" going to a wreck paused long enough to pull them out.
Much of the rest of the narrative describes more such abysmal driving conditions including "sand ruts," rough volcanic rock and plank paths across mammoth dunes. These menacing features alternated with stretches of "perfect roads" in Arizona and California (that would seem primitive to a modern driver).
The "agent" of the Franklin Automobile Co. who had sold Gilmore the auto in Syracuse met them in Phoenix to inspect the car. He advised them to leave the mud on it so people would be convinced they had actually made the trip. The company undoubtedly was hoping to get some good publicity from this auto escapade.
The quartet arrived in San Diego on October 4, 38 days after leaving Boston, with 33 days of actual driving. Audiences gathered, speeches were delivered. The mud-caked Demi Sedan Franklin was placed on display, complete with broken "Visionator," missing robe-strap, one "sprung" door and a crumpled bumper.
The journey was judged a success. The hardy quartet had set out to enjoy themselves and had done just that, unlike many of the people in vehicles they had seen along the way.
"There were so many cars crowded with large families, obstreperous pets, and awkward loads of household goods that suggested migration from grim necessity, that we sometimes felt that we were the only people on the road westbound for pleasure." Was this a preview of the Dust Bowl migration just a few years away?
The Franklin had gone 6,550 miles (apparently since purchased in Syracuse), burning 385 gallons of gasoline at an average price of 21.5 cents per gallon and gotten just over 17 miles per gallon. They had changed the oil every 500 miles. Hotel bills for 38 days had totaled $280. Sounds like a good deal to me, if a bit hard on the back.

If you've reached my website, you've probably done all you can to reign in your spending. You've worked through all kinds of budgets, analyzed your sources of money, and worked hard to get back on top of your bills.
First, I'm going to list some hints that you've probably heard before.
Wherever possible, slash any goods and services that you're paying for down as much as possible. Avoid purchasing food from restaurants, cut out the channels from your cable package, and look for inexpensive alternatives like rolling your own cigarettes if you're a smoker. For essentials like utilities and food, use cost-saving strategies like making sure to shut off lights and electronics that aren't in use. Small cuts can add up to a significant amount of cash when extrapolated over time, but they won't likely solve a serious debt crisis on their own. OK. What else is there?
Putting your hard-earned dollars towards paying back your debts only to find the amount you owe barely trickling downward can feel downright demoralizing. In cases like this, you can blame the interest charges that accrue over time, so fight back by looking for a consolidation loan that you can use to pay off higher interest debt.
If you can't find a consolidating loan or don't qualify for a large enough loan to bring all your debts together, order your remaining debts by their interest rate, not their dollar amount, and put any debt repayments towards the top of the list. Over time, this tactic will save you money and is widely considered to be the go-to debt repayment strategy.
That Didn't Work. What's Next?
Ok, that's enough advice on how to cut expenses. What happens when you have already cut your expenses down to the bone and you still can't make ends meet? Trust me, I understand. You've done all you can, but debt collectors keep calling, the paychecks are never enough, and the future looks uncertain. As scary as these times can be, there is a way out. And I can help. Contact me today if you're facing trouble with your finances. Together we'll find a solution to your situation so that you can rest easier.
Filing for bankruptcy can help reset your finances. Bankruptcy is a complicated process that scares many people off by the name alone, but it is a valid solution for those who have no other recourse. To find out whether bankruptcy is the right choice for your financial situation and to learn more about what it means for your future, let me help walk you through the process.

EU to restrict Internet access?
For the past week my avatar image has changed to show one of the logos of the Blackout Europe campaign.
"What's that all about?", many folks have asked me in the past few days. Well, as I understand it, this is the situation: the European Union is debating a set of measures called the Telecoms Package. This package is set up such that ISPs will in future be able to parcel out Internet capabilities to consumers in much the same way that satellite and cable TV companies do today – so, for example, there is a possibility that in future you will not pay a flat rate fee and have access to "everything" online, but you might have "starter package" with a certain range of sites plus, say, Skype access, and a "gaming package" which would give you access to various online games services, and a "pro package" which enabled all sites plus any services you wanted. Basically, they will be able to filter what you are doing based on site or protocol – those are just some examples I thought up rather than anything known to be in the works.
How does that differ from Internet packages in Europe now? Well, right now there's no real differentiation between the services and sites that can be accessed, although there are often speed limits and download caps. This is potentially a fundamental change to the way in which access to the 'net might be regulated and controlled.
It's all a bit technical, but for more detail see this page on the Blackout Europe blog and look under section 6 for a set of annotated PDFs which discuss the measures in detail. You can also read the open letter already sent to the EU Parliament.
It's a hypothetical situation, and as several folks have pointed out to me over the Twitter stream, it might be pretty difficult to actually implement. Other people have pointed out that the site itself "looks unprofessional", which I suspect is more a factor of translation and time than anything else. I don't think either of those two issues should really stop people from registering their discontent at these proposed changes. There are forms available on the site to enable people to contact MEPs. I'm late in blogging this, as the deadline is really in the next 24 hours – frankly, I'm surprised that the site, Facebook page and other social networks haven't attracted more attention.
The press release about the Telecoms package makes it all sound very reassuring and good for the public, but as ever, the devil is in the detail.
Computerworld UK has published a great article on the issue today – here's an extract:
Unfortunately, it's an openness that is fairly subtle for non-technical people; above all, it's not at all obvious to politicians, who seem to assume that apparently minor tweaks won't change things much.
At least, that's the most charitable explanation for the fact that European politicians are on the brink of passing legislation in the current Telecoms Package that will destroy a key part of that openness, by allowing telecoms companies to discriminate in the way that they handle IP packets according to their type.
(via @glynmoody)
One of the issues that still exists with the EU is the visibility of the institutions and processes at a national level. As a supranational organisation, it's commonplace for people not to be aware of what is going on in the Parliament, even though in my experience, the EU's web presence actually provides a great deal more transparency and insight into what is happening in Parliament than many national governments. People tend only to respond to EU legislation once it has been enacted and then re-enacted within their own national context. So, there are a whole bunch of things going on at an EU level that most people in European countries pay no attention to unless they are picked up by the media, and even then only if enough noise is made about the issues at hand.
It's not too late to take a look at the site, and contact your MEP to let them know how you feel about freedom of access to the Internet – get the amendments that neutralise the offending clauses in "the Telecoms package" passed.
Update: another good article on the detail of the package, again via @glynmoody

City State: New London Poetry
Tom Chivers (editor)
"Here is a good, deep shaft drilled into the poetry of the capital. A true anthology of what's going on in poetry now."
Steven Waling
City State showcases a new generation of London writers, a confident, entertaining and truly diverse snapshot of the best new poetry from the capital.
From hyperlinked walks of Battersea bombsites and guerilla gardening projects to jagged urban lyrics and dark hymns to the East End. _

Jay Bernard, Caroline Bird, Ben Borek, Siddhartha Bose, Tom Chivers, Swithun Cooper, Alex Davies, Inua Ellams, Laura Forman, Wayne Holloway-Smith, Christopher Horton, Kirsten Irving, Annie Katchinska, Amy Key, Chris McCabe, Marianne Munk, Holly Pester, Heather Phillipson, Nick Potamitis, Imogen Robertson, Jacob Sam-La Rose, Ashna Sarkar, Jon Stone, Barnaby Tidman, Ahren Warner, James Wilkes, Steve Willey.
Cover design: Mercy
We are offered London as a test case for a new diversity of means and manner, from sassy performance scripts to the solid blocks of densely disjunctive language characterised as innovative or avant-garde. [City State proposes] a central space that is also the meeting place of many edges.
Philip Gross, Poetry London
City State is [a] journey across the metropolis in rush hour: a journey that by turns bewilders, delights and throws up unpalatable truths. The anthology showcases a real range of styles, from Jacob Sam-La Rose's heartfelt verse, to Chris McCabe's complex, darkly witty observations. Though diverse, the poets featured here often seem to riff around several themes that are associated with London itself: dislocation, escapism, breathlessness.
Helen Mort, Pen Pusher
Performance poets are wedged side by side with the new crop of post-langpo practitioners and sculptors of sound; formalism and new narrative jostle for position with cut-ups, found poems and the inheritors of a confessional poetics [...] What seems to unit the best of the poets here is a quality of looking outward: they are aware of, and play with, the possibilities of language and form; they draw on a recognisable tradition but refresh it, linguistically and subjectively [...] There is a great deal of vitality and versatility among the younger generation of emerging poets in the country's capital.
Simon Turner, Under the Radar
Here is a good, deep shaft drilled into the poetry of the capital. [...] What I like about this anthology is its range. There are poets here who, I guess, could fit into the latest Bloodaxe catalogue with relative ease. There are others, like Nick Potamitis or Steve Wiley and Alex Davies, who are much more experimental and are carrying on the work of poets such as Allen Fisher and Iain Sinclair. And there are poets coming out of a more performance-oriented stream such as Jacob Sam-La Rose, whose wonderfully ironic 'How to be Black' is one of the many highlights of this collection.[...] A true anthology of what's going on in poetry now.
Steven Waling, Brandos Hat
[W]hat's kept me coming back to City State are traits which, if not common to every single contributor, do give the anthology a certain atmosphere: a freshness of language and imagery, an openness to experimenting with form, an interest in lives on the periphery and the attempt to understand the complexities of modern urban experience.

It's Only Illegal to be Stupid; Gender Discrimination is Fine
Lithwick's article about Wal-Mart v. Dukes should be read in its entirety, but the most important passage identifies the key part of Scalia's majority opinion:
The law allows such "pattern and practice" evidence to be used to prove sex discrimination, even when a company has a formal policy forbidding sexual discrimination. After all, every company has a formal policy forbidding sexual discrimination and few affirmatively encourage it in writing. Scalia is unmoved, however. He asserts that "left to their own devices most managers in any corporation—and surely most managers in a corporation that forbids sex discrimination—would select sex-neutral, performance-based criteria for hiring and promotion." [Right. And African-Americans had the unfettered right to vote as soon as the 15th Amendment passed. –ed.] The women of Wal-Mart can't show that managers exercised discretion in similarly gender-biased ways, he writes, and scoffs at attempts to do so through "statistical and anecdotal evidence."
But, of course, if you can't use statistical and anecdotal evidence to prove gender discrimination — and, as he apparently admitted about racial discrimination and the death penalty during the deliberations in McKleskey v. Kemp, it's clear there's no amount of statistical and anecdotal evidence that would convince Scalia — then there really isn't a law against gender discrimination at all. There's just a law against having your company being run by complete idiots. Any amount of gender (or, presumably, racial) discrimination is acceptable to the Court's Republican appointees as long as you're not dumb enough to actually explicitly state it as a formal policy.

Iceman dual-circuit scroll series portable chillers from Mokon feature a tandem compressor arrangement for dual-circuit capacity control. The tandem design also provides as little as 10 percent of overall capacity for smaller applications, offering greater efficiency. For larger applications requiring more capacity, both circuits work together to meet the need of the process. The Dual Circuit portable chillers are available in 10- to 40-ton cooling capacities.
The chillers are equipped with a Carel microprocessor-based controller, providing anti-cycling and staging control with system status and safety/alarm conditions. The controller ensures equal run time of the two compressors through automatic lead/lag control and a running hour meter that logs compressor run time.

Signs, Shops and Imperial Pomp: A Stroll Along Nevskii Prospekt in the Early Nineteenth Century.
Dr Katia Bowers (Department of Slavonic Studies, University of Cambridge).
Tuesday 07 October 2014, 13:10-14:00
The Richard King Room, Darwin College.
If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Duncan Needham.
Between 1830 and 1835, publisher and art patron Andrei Prèvost published a large grayscale lithograph as a scroll. Measuring 23 feet by 10 and a half inches, the scroll was taken from artist Vasilii Sadovnikov's late 1820s watercolors depicting Nevskii Prospekt. In its entirety, the scroll faithfully reproduces the grand boulevard in lithograph from Palace Square to the Anichkov Bridge and back. When it was published, the work caused a stir because of the unique look at the city it provided, allowing viewers across the Russian Empire to "visit" the famous street and "take in" its notable sights from their homes. This paper will embark upon just such a "stroll," but will focus on the public graphosphere depicted therein. While the graphosphere portrayed is limited to a small segment of the grand street and, therefore, is by no means a comprehensive overview of urban space, this limitation nonetheless proves productive, inviting historical digressions and raising a series of initial framing questions: What can we learn from analysis of this captured graphosphere? What does it omit, and why? And where do we look for more information about the graphosphere in early nineteenth-century Russian urban space?

Turns out the sought-after magic elixir has been right under our noses!
I'm talking about water. Pure, simple water.
Before you scoff at this idea, check if you're dehydrated. Sadly as much as 75% of adults suffer from mild, chronic dehydration, a condition that dramatically works against your weight loss efforts.
Though you probably don't think about it often, water is the most essential element, next to air, to your survival. The simple combination of two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen makes up more than two thirds of your body and is involved in a host of bodily functions that we routinely take for granted.
What about fitness and fat-1oss?
You've probably heard that you need to drink plenty of water in order to drop weight, but did you ever wonder why? What does water have to do with decreasing your calories and increasing your activity level in an effort to shed pounds?
Fill your stomach with a glass of water before each meal and you will find that you won't eat as much. This also works on snacking throughout the day, keep hydrated all day long and watch as your desire to snack decreases.
Want to super-charge your fitness results this summer? Well, this is the most effective way to utilize water toward your waist-shrinking efforts. Most of us consume more than our share of calorie-packed beverages. Smoothies, shakes, frozen mochas, soft drinks…you get the idea. When you trade your high calorie beverages in for a tall glass of water you will expedite your results in a major way.
Your body will shift into "preserve" mode—which means you will store more fat.
Bodily functions will slow—leading to an overall decrease in energy levels.
Headaches will become an expected nuisance—your brain is over 70% water.
Hydration Tip #4: Exercise and hot summer days both increase your body's water requirements—make a mental note to drink before, during and after exercise or while out on a hot day.
Bonus Hydration Tip #6: There is one other thing you can do to achieve you fitness goals in the shortest amount of time possible – work with a certified fitness expert like me!
Want to know more? Just call (480) 518-3749 or visit our contact page today to set up a consultation, after all, getting you into great shape is our passion.
