Cleansing Oil: Shiseido Tiss Deep Off Oil
Tiss Deep Off Oil retails for 1260 Japan Yen (about USD$12). I bought it at about USD $9 when it was on sale at Watsons. I am going to share my experience with Tiss Deep Off Oil today.
Tiss has two types of cleansing oil; Deep Off Oil and 2 Way Off Oil. Deep Off Oil (in clear yellow packaging) is designed to be used on skin only when it is dry. According to the product description, not only does it remove makeup, dirt, oil and debris, but also helps dissolve, loosen and clear comedones from the pores.
2 Way Off Oil (in clear turquoise packaging) comes with a grapefruit scent, and can be used on dry or wet skin for taking off makeup, debris and impurities.
Deep Off Oil is packaged in a clear and yellow pump bottle. It has no fragrance and the oil is colorless and transparent.
The texture is gentle and lightweight. Compared to Shu Uemura's cleansing oils and DHC Deep Cleansing Oil, it has a thinner and more watery consistancy. It is very easy to spread it over the face. The oil emulsifies very quickly, when it is in contact with water, and turns into a milky white shade.
Use Experience
For light makeup, I use 1 to 2 pumps of this cleansing oil. For heavy makeup, I use 4 pumps or more. I gently massage the oil through the face with figertips in small circular motions for 1 to 2 minutes until all the makeup is dissolved, then rinse it off. It removes all traces of dirt, oil and makeup effortlessly. It does a good job removing waterproof makeup thoroughly.
This cleansing is gentle on my skin and cleanses my face without leaving any irritating or drying feeling. It does, however, leave a slightly oily film on my face. This doesn't bother me since I usually use a gel or foam-based face wash afterwards.
Tiss Deep Off Oil contains mineral oil, which is widely used in cosmetics for its moisture retaining ability. (Note that cosmetic grade mineral oil is not comedogenic and does not cause breakouts. Many cleansing oils on the market are formulated with mineral oil. Shu Uemura is one of the examples. Check out this article for detailed information about mineral oil).
I noticed some people experienced breakouts after using it. Personally, I don't have any experience of breakouts or acne with Tiss Deep Off Oil. It helps reduce whiteheads and blackheads on my nose. However, the effect is not very significant.
Deep Off Oil emulsifies into a milky white lotion very quickly, when it is in contact with water, and loses its ability to dissolve the makeup and debris. If you are interested to try it, make sure you apply it when skin is dry (both the face and hands).
Overall, Tiss Deep Off Oil is a great drugstore bargain buy. The texture is gentle and lightweight. The oil-based makeup remover has a relatively watery and runny consistency, compared with other cleansing oils I have used. It removes all traces of makeup and impurities very well.

There are some situations when having really nice things is a problem. Auto journalists face this a lot and it's just one of the hazards of the job.
If you're driving a Honda Civic for the week, you have no problem running routine errands at the bank or the grocery store or whatever it is normal people do. Driving around Texas in a Bugatti Veyron, however, is a different story. Patrick wrote how the Veyron is a conspicuous car and takes some getting used to if you drive it places other than a track.
It's still a brilliant car, though, as Patrick found out because he got to drive the damn thing!
Of course it really does turn out to be a problem for you, as Mike_Honcho suggests:
And the nineteenth thing: If you experience an erection lasting longer than four hours, contact a medical professional or exit the Veyron.
But I'm sure there would be a warning label for that, like the one for the airbags. Right?

"Bullard Family" - How can one exhausted couple cope with the demands of a thriving family business and two out-of-control youngsters? The toddler won't go to bed, and the older one has no respect for his parents, back-talking and mocking them at every turn. When parents lose hope and are desperate for answers, there's just one person to call. This is a job for "Supernanny," airing FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (Rebroadcast. OAD: 1/24/05)
The miracle worker is Jo Frost, a.k.a. Supernanny, Britain's hottest new TV star and godsend to desperate parents across the U.K. who were dazzled by her amazing results when her series debuted this summer, as she showed families the tools for transforming their children's wild ways. Her practical, no-nonsense style was honed over 15 years of nannying in the U.K. and the U.S. Now American families can tap into the secrets of this modern-day Mary Poppins.
Bryce and Jen Bullard are a Colorado couple who are struggling to manage a busy plumbing business and raise two unruly children. The Bullard household is chaotic, with work phones ringing off the hook and kids screaming late into the night. Jen is at the breaking point, as she tries to juggle her roles as secretary, homemaker and mother. The Bullard boys, two-year-old Rylan and six-year-old Brycie, have full rein of the house. Brycie constantly talks back to his parents, and baby Rylan refuses to sleep in his crib, shrieking at the top of his lungs at the mention of bedtime and spending hours delaying it. Jen and Bryce have very different views of parenting; Jen is more lenient, while Dad is quick to punish. In order for Bryce and Jen to gain control of their household, they must learn get on the same page with their discipline and follow the Supernanny method.
Jo observes how the parents handle their day-to-day obstacles with their children. Once she's assessed the pitfalls, she works with the parents, instilling her tried-and-true methods for transforming unwanted behavior. Then, after demonstrating just how well the new style will work and getting unbelievable results from the children, the parents must fly solo with the Supernanny techniques. For several days they try to implement Jo's suggestions, and she revisits them at the end of the program to help keep them on track for the future. When parents witness Jo's results and -- even better -- achieve them on their own, they are truly believers in the Supernanny way. Best of all, children and adults alike can enjoy the lasting benefits of a more harmonious family life.
Nick Powell is the creator and executive producer of both the American and British versions of the show. Craig Armstrong is executive producer of the American version. "Supernanny" is produced by Ricochet, Ltd.
This program carries a TV-PG parental guideline.

Wiswell Fund, Elizabeth Hudson, Betty Wilcox, the Honourable Mr. Justice Allen B. Sulatycky, Agnes Carrigan, the Estate of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Naylor, funds administered by The Winnipeg Foundation, the Estate of Ann Smith, and the Estate of Dr. Jacob Isa and with funds from the Canada Council for the Arts Acquisition Assistance program/Oeuvre achetée avec l'aide du programme d'aide aux acquisitions du Conseil des Arts du Canada
Painting, Canadian Contemporary (1980-present)
Explosive in colour and dense with texture and pattern, Bruce Head's paintings, such as Sleeping Giant, present the viewer with mind-boggling landscapes full of energy and expression. Drawing upon his explorations in modern art, as well as his technical skill as a graphic designer, Head constructs his paintings employing oddly shaped stamp-like rollers, manipulated and crafted by Head to produce unusual and repetitious markings. The inspiration and title for Sleeping Giant comes from the red cliffs that dominate the peninsula on Lake Superior, east of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Head was a leading painter in Winnipeg for well over 50 years. His career is characterized by his penchant for experimentation, love of colour, and his distinctive mode of abstracting landscapes.

Romeo & Juliet is arguably the classic romantic story of all time. Read reviews of Zeffirelli's 1968 and Luhrmann's 1996 movie versions of Romeo & Juliet below.
Romeo & Juliet Movie 1968: Franco Zeffirelli
Zeffirelli's 1968 Romeo & Juilet won Acadamy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design; it was also nominated for Best Director and Best Picture. When it first came out it was a revelation. School students were able to identify more fully with the play and its characters than ever before.
For the first time the 'star crossed' lovers were genuine teenagers. They were selected by Zeffirelli, not for their proven acting ability but swept out of their schools because he thought they looked right for the roles as he envisioned them. He taught them to act. The result was the intensely teenage emotional experience that Shakespeare intended. There was so much new about this treatment of a Shakespeare play. The centre of Verona, a market place, presented as a vivid, colourful, detailed slice of everyday Renaissance life; the teenage impetuosity, its youthful banter and play always threatening and easily turned to violence; two teenagers in bed in a post sexual stupor.
The beauty of the two lovers is striking and emphasises the tragedy of young love gone so badly wrong. Olivia Hussey's Juliet is a stunning performance from such a young actor. If there is any doubt about Shakespeare's creation of the extrordinary strength and determination a thirteen year old girl is capable of that doubt would be expelled by Hussey's performance. The violent encounter with her father, the resolution of carrying the implications of her love to its conclusion, the courage with which she faces Friar Laurence's plan are all carried out with conviction.
The movie is set in Italyand that would immediately have alerted his audience to the coming violence. It was a place that the Elizabethan mind associated with feuds, vendettas, murder and heat. The play is full of references to heat and the effect it has on people, making them volatile, impatient and impetuous. Zeffirelli demonstrates that heat throughout. The characters are seen trying hard to avoid confrontations, controlling their natural tendencies, made hard by the heat. The fight scene takes place around a fountain, where Mercutio plays in the water while bantering with Tybalt. It is one of the most famous scenes in Shakespeare movies and the tension between the heat and the need to keep the peace is masterfully done. The inevitability of the violence, the action that is the turning point where comedy is transformed to tragedy is apparent throughout the comic antics of the characters. This movie is the ideal way for a newcomer to come to Shakespeare and it is not surprising that teachers everywhere keep a copy of it in their resource cupboards.
Romeo & Juliet Movie 1996: Baz Luhrmann
Although Lurmann's 1996 Romeo & Juliet is the familiar timeless story of the 'star crossed' lovers it's updated to a modern Veronese suburb – Verona Beach – where the teenage members of the Montague and Capulet families carry guns, and when the trouble starts they shoot at each other without restraint. The film retains the original Shakespeare dialogue but the text is pruned and the story is told mainly through vivid and exciting cinematic images.
Shakespeare's plays have a timeless quality and have been comfortably interpreted by four hundred years of producers and actors to present them as relevant to their time and the fashions of the time. This film loses nothing of the play's integrity while catering for the modern teenager's taste for fast moving, spectacular visual and musical effects. The music is loud and the camerawork offers what the most popular action thrillers do, driving the audience through the story, hurtling the ill-fated lovers towards their doom.
Luhrmann has created a world in which the extreme wealth of the two families is evident in the pastimes, dress and lifestyle of their younger generation. They wear expensive outfits, drive fancy sports cars and wield big shiny guns. The fight at the beginning of the play becomes a spectacular gunfight at a petrol station and the party at the Capulet mansion is a sumptuous rock-star style bash. Deafening pop music plays throughout.
The difficulty Luhrmann has to confront is the need to marry his cinematic vision with the language of Shakespeare, and he does this admirably. The key is the convincing way in which the actors speak the lines. Shakespeare's blank verse iambic pentameter was written as a way of imitating the rhythms of natural speech and all of the actors expoit that quality in the poetry to create that effect. DiCaprio, who has gone on to become a major film star, shows that early promise in this movie. He has an instinctive grace and creates a Romeo whose gut-wrenching emotion is entirely convincing. Danes's yearning Juliet is exactly right for a strong determined young girl caught up in this powerful emotional swirl. Paul Sorvino as Capulet presents a convincing modern tycoon who can't understand any form of dissent from his authority and Pete Postlethwaite's hippy guru, Friar Laurence, is a joy.
Anyone coming to Shakespeare for the first time will enjoy this film but there is an extra dimension of enjoyment for those who know the play. Some of the character motivations are obscured by Luhrmann's desire to realise his cinematic vision but knowledge of the play would make everything clear. This movie is a rich addition to the canon of Romeo & Juliet films.

The idea of wireless headphones is a dream come true for those of us that face a tangle of wires during our daily hour or 2 of commuter-based music listening, or those that require an unfettered connection in the gym. And the concept is even more compelling for those that use their mobile a lot when out and about, and have to switch between headphones and handset. This is where the Plantronics BackBeat 903+ stereo Bluetooth headphones come into play. But what do they actually bring to the table?
This model is an update to the BackBeat 903 stereo Bluetooth headphones that were previously branded under the Altec Lansing name. The re-vamped model boasts several new features including ruggedised and sweat-resistant materials, three levels of earpiece adjustment and a handy storage pouch. There's also a cool feature that hooks up with the iPhone to display the battery level.
The headphones sport in-ear canal silicon earpieces which are joined to curved plastic frames that hang over your ears. The two are joined together with a sturdy but flexible cable that fits neatly around the back of your head. The over-ear design is likely to divide opinion - you'll either find it refreshingly comfortable or it will feel extremely odd and cumbersome. If you wear glasses, or you simply want to rock some hipster shades then these probably aren't the headphones you're looking for.
The right-hand earpiece features a play and pause button that can be used to control your music, while the left-hand device sports a call button in the same spot. On the edge of the same earpiece you'll also find the power button, and dual-function buttons for volume up/skip track and volume down/skip back - you tap once for volume and use a 2-second button press for a track change. There's also a tiny Micro-USB port for charging that's hidden behind a tiny rubber cover that is a tad fiddly to open if you haven't got long fingernails.
You can adjust the height of the earpieces, so if you've got long Mr Spock-esque ears or "jug handles"(big ears that stick out), then you should find enough flexibility in the design to ensure that the earphones fit correctly. The ear buds also swivel slightly for easier fitting, while the actual silicone insert can be rotated as well. The headphones have a range of 10m, so you can feel free to pace briskly around the office like a terribly important executive, barking orders into your phone.
Tapping the call button once will begin or end a call, while tapping it twice will redial the last number that you called. Pressing the play/pause button in for 2 seconds will activate the bass boost mode. You also get voice alerts to fill you in on important bits of information such as how much talk time you've got left and when your battery is low. The 903+ also sports dual mics as well as Plantronics' proprietary digital signal processing (DSP) for making calls when in busy environments.
We hooked our review sample up to an iPhone to test it - the set-up was fast and thoroughly simple and we were ready to start making calls in no time at all. One particularly nice touch on the new model is the on-screen battery meter that appears when you're paired up to an iPhone. The tiny icon appears in the top right-hand corner, next to the handset's own battery indicator.
When listening to music, the headphones put in a strong audio performance, and switched seamlessly to speaking mode when we received a call. The person that we were speaking to did say that we sounded rather "echoey", as if we were trapped in a cupboard or something. However, that's not unusual with Bluetooth headsets, and the quality was certainly good enough to hold a coherent conversation.
We did find that the earphones had a tendency to slip off, but the comfort of the design inevitably comes down to personal taste and the size and shape of your ears.
The over-ear design may not be for everyone, but it does have the advantage of making you look like a Very Important Businessperson, or perhaps like a bodyguard or special agent of some kind. The wireless design and the sweat-resistant properties of the materials used make the 903+ ideal for using in the gym or when out jogging.
A few thoughtful touches, such as the iPhone battery meter and the storage pouch put the 903+ ahead of many of its competitors. The sonics sound great when listening to music and although the audio quality on calls isn't entirely spot on, it isn't bad either. The headphones may not be perfect, but they do enable you to ditch the wires and to consolidate two essential products (headphones, and a Bluetooth headset) into one handy device.

The United States Mail steamer, Washington, Capt. George W. Floyd, arrived yesterday afternoon at 1:30. She left Bremen on the 5th, and Southampton, on the 10th inst., at 5 oclock P. M., thus making the passage in twelve days and eighteen hours. Among her passengers, of whom a full list will be found in another column, are Capt. Brown, with the remaining officers and crew of the yacht, America.
We are indebted to Mr. Abraham Adams, clerk of the Washington, for the early delivery of English papers.
The Washington brought out a valuable cargo, and 180 passengers, and there were a great number of applications for additional berths, but they could not be furnished.

Antwerp, Belgium, 22 August, 2016: In Biasca, Switzerland, an innovative way of storing renewable energy is being developed. In an old transportation tunnel of the Gotthard tunnel tests are done to store hot compressed air and release it to the power grid when necessary. Two Atlas Copco Rental compressors provide the oil-free air needed for these tests. If the test succeeds, the first steps towards efficiently storing excess energy will be taken.
" The idea to store compressed air underground is not new. Already in the late seventies researchers tried to store compressed air and use it as a power source. However, these ways of storing were not efficient since a lot of air and heat was lost during the process. "
"We at ALACAES, supported by the Swiss government, are researching if we can increase the efficiency by storing not only the compressed air itself but also the heat generated in the process. Therefore we have created a hi-tech test cell inside this former transport tunnel of the Gotthard tunnel," says Zanganeh.
Not only the set-up is quite extraordinary, so is the location. The test cell is set up in Biasca, Switzerland, in a 20 year old transportation passway of the Gotthard tunnel. This small tunnel is only around 5 m diameter at its widest point and was originally dug out to transport rocks and other debris from the construction of the Gotthard tunnel. You can still see this debris just opposite of the tunnel, where a green plateau was crafted with it.
"We have separated a part of the tunnel with two 5m thick concrete plugs and a steel door. The walls of this part are covered with a fiber glass silicone layer, which allows us to exactly measure the behavior of the compressed air. In between these plugs you can find the actual thermal compressed air battery: a thick concrete tank filled with rocks. These rocks will hold the generated heat and release it to the power grid when necessary," explains Zanganeh.
Zanganeh: "What we want to test is how the tunnel wall and the battery will react to high pressure, up to 100 bar, and high temperature, up to 550°C. Of course we have to do this in small steps, to not overload the tunnel. The first part of the test starts mid of August and lasts 3 weeks. During this period we will gradually build up the pressure to 33 bar and the temperature to 550°C. In this step we use two oil-free air compressors of Atlas Copco Rental. We choose Atlas Copco Rental since they are the only supplier in the region who can rent high quality oil-free compressors."
"The test cell is covered with underwater cameras, resistant to high pressure. These are all connected to our test lab right before the first plug. Here we can measure all behavior of the test cell: a pressure drop or increase, movement of the tunnel wall or the rock battery… If the tunnel can hold the pressure and we at the same time can separate the heat generated in the process, the test will be successful," concludes Zanganeh.
If the test is successful, Giw Zanganeh and his team will have found an efficient way to store energy. Storing energy efficiently is one of the largest challenges in the 'Energiewende' since a lot of sustainable energy sources such as solar or wind power have high peaks with a lot of excess power.

Peter Jackson, in full Sir Peter Robert Jackson, (born October 31, 1961, Pukerua Bay, North Island, New Zealand), New Zealand director, perhaps best known for his film adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
When Jackson was eight years old, his parents bought an 8-mm movie camera, and he began making short films. He later purchased a used 16-mm camera and, with his friends, began work on what started out to be another short film. It kept growing, however, and, with the aid of a grant from the New Zealand Film Commission, Bad Taste was released in 1987. The comedy-horror movie won acclaim at the Cannes film festival and went on to become a cult favourite.
Jackson followed up with Meet the Feebles (1989), which features puppets and people in animal suits engaging in the seamier aspects of human behaviour, and the zombie film Braindead (1992; U.S. title, Dead Alive), which won numerous international science fiction awards and was said by some to be the goriest film ever made. He then turned to a real-life incident for Heavenly Creatures (1994), about two teenage girls who kill one girl's mother; the film starred Kate Winslet in her first major role. Its screenplay garnered Academy Award nominations for Jackson and Frances Walsh, his partner. The mock documentary Forgotten Silver (1995) and the ghost story The Frighteners (1996) followed.
Jackson next directed and cowrote King Kong (2005), a remake of the classic 1933 film, and The Lovely Bones (2009), an adaptation of Alice Sebold's novel about a murdered girl who observes her family and killer from the afterlife. He then returned to the enchanting world of Tolkien with a series based on The Hobbit, the author's predecessor to The Lord of the Rings. The trilogy comprised An Unexpected Journey (2012), The Desolation of Smaug (2013), and The Battle of the Five Armies (2014). In 2018 he directed the acclaimed World War I documentary They Shall Not Grow Old, which featured never-before-seen footage that Jackson and his team had restored and colourized.
Jackson was made a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2010. He was appointed to the Order of New Zealand in 2012.

There is a lot of detailed discussion out there; too much to be easily read these days. Much of it has been written by people with their own agenda which is why some advice seems to conflict with other versions. So I thought a simple and pragmatic overview from an informed freelancer's side is probably overdue.
IR35, or the "Intermediaries Legislation" as it is more properly called, was announced in the Budget of 1999 and came into force in April 2000. Its aim was to stop people using dividend payments instead of salary in order to avoid paying a large percentage of their National Insurance contributions. It didn't try to make that practice illegal, since that would be rather difficult, but it attempted to define a set of conditions that would make you pay those "missing" NI contributions.
Its real genius was to fail to define what those conditions are. Instead it said that if you look like an employee, you will pay tax as an employee on all your earnings, except we'll give you 5% to cover your working costs since you are not an employee. You can see why there might be a degree of confusion.
The definition of an employee has been set by case law over many years. At its simplest, it comes down to three key concepts: Direction and Control, Mutuality of Obligation and Right of Substitution. Each needs to be defined in the contract and, obviously, the contract has to match reality pretty closely if it is to stand up in court.
Direction and Control means that the client can tell you what to do. If however, he can tell you to do things that are not directly relevant to delivering what it is you are there to do, then that is excessive. A quick check is "Do the permanent staff have to do this to do the job?" If they do, then fine, if not it is excessive. This needs to be managed with a degree of care and sympathy, of course: no point staying outside the client's rules on hours of work and then simply not turning up because you fancy a day off. Equally, most freelancers are given an objective, a set of quality constraints and a time scale; those are not Direction and Control, since you are free to deliver the objective in the best way you see fit.
Mutuality is a bit complex but at its simplest, does the client have to offer you work, do you have to accept it if offered, and can you charge when there is no work to do. There will be an irreducible minimum of Mutuality in any contract, but for our purposes the simple maxim of "No work, no pay" will work as the basic key test.
Right of Substitution is fairly clear cut: can you send someone else to do the work. Employees can't do that, so if you can, you are not an employee. However, the client has to have some say in the matter. The usual formula is along the lines of "you may send a substitute subject to the approval of the client, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld".
Any one of the above should be enough to take you outside IR35, but the ideal would be all three. And let's be clear, the above three conditions genuinely have to exist in reality as well as in the contract. A case (Dragonfly) was lost recently in part because the client denied they would ever accept a substitute for the worker, despite there being a clear clause in the contract that substitution was possible (a clause that was added some time after the engagement began, incidentally).
There are some other myths around IR35 that may be worth noting. Using your own kit is good, but if you have to use the client's kit, it's not that much of an issue. Having to work on site is not an issue if you have to be able to interact with other workers to do the job (although exactly when you are on site is up to you, as we have said earlier). Having multiple contracts is not a defence, since IR35 is applied on a per contract basis. Multiple clients may show you are genuinely in business but that seems not to be a major criterion in determining IR35 status despite, it being said very clearly that people in business on their own account would be outside the rules (Dawn Primarola, Paymaster General in 2000, is on record as having said precisely that).
Incidentally, Umbrella users are not and cannot be subject to IR35. They are employees in law and pay employee's taxes (as well as employer's taxes, come to that) so are out of scope.
The real trick is to think like an independent business, not as a temporary employee of the client. If you look at the engagement on those terms, much of the distinction between inside and outside IR35 becomes, if not clear, at least a little clearer.
Finally, if you lose an IR35 case it does not currently mean that you are therefore an employee. The tests they use to determine status are the same but it's only about taxation, not rights of employment. One day someone may press the nuclear button and claim employee rights because IR35 says they are one, but that hasn't happened yet.
Losing a case means all relevant tax declarations, personal and corporate, will need to be recalculated and the balances paid over, with interest. As long as you have tried to determine your IR35 status, penalties will not be applied: that is about the only good thing about the whole sorry mess.
And to close, let me offer the comforting thought that the vast majority - well over 98% - of IR35 cases challenged in court to date have found in favour of the freelance being outside.
