While dishing out recipes from her new cookbook, Eva's Kitchen, this week, Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria shared another type of recipe: her homemade face mask!
Eva's skin is always incredibly radiant, and now we know why—she exfoliates weekly with her homemade face mask, made of coffee, lemon juice, and olive oil. The coffee grounds remove the dry, flaky skin cells that make you look dull, and—because they contain caffeine—rev up circulation, while lemon juice brightens and olive oil hydrates.

A recent study by Univision found that Latino men use styling products, moisturizer, and fragrance twice as much as other men. Not to mention the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's recent report that male breast reduction is now one of the 5 most popular cosmetic procedures. But these findings are probably obvious to you: our men have always been into manscaping. Just ask Enrique Ramirez, self-described guy-brow expert and founder of Face to Face NYC. Here are our top 10 most impeccably groomed men:

Big news, mateys! To coincide with this summer's most-anticipated blockbuster, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, both OPI and DuWop are launching collections inspired by the film.
DuWop's "Isla Sirena" collection includes Mermaid Venom (a plumping lip gloss), a Rotating Map Palette (which features the treasure map form the film and spins to reveal nine eye shadows, three lip glosses, and three gel eyeliners), and Caribbean IcedTea Lip Treatments in flavors like Butter Rum (yum!).

Nothing looks worse than chapped lips, and if you're anything like me, you suffer from something I'd like to call "constant dry lip syndrome" during the brutal winter season. These days, I have to moisturize my lips twice as much to keep them soft. But sometimes not even the best lip repair can help! At times like these I try abuela's brown sugar lip scrub. This delicious scrub exfoliates my lips, removing flakes and peeling skin. For this recipe you'll need a quarter teaspoon of olive oil, a tiny bit of brown sugar and a small bowl for mixing.

Additional Information
Seems Santa dumped a wad of P45s on adland
With the departures of David Jones, Hugh Baillie and then Matthew Charlton and Neil Dawson all in the space of a week, 2014 has got off to quite a spectacular start.
The issue of Jones' many intriguing reasons to quit Havas are explored in more depth in Close Up, but Baillie's decision to say goodbye to his partners at Hello People and take a job at Grand Union after less than a year seems to show that this particular start-up was a turkey in the first place.
In fairness, the agency recognised that it had not come out with all guns blazing in its Campaign half-term school report, where it awarded itself a lowly but remarkably honest 5 out of 10. But with Baillie now jumping ship, citing a lack of converted new business, it's difficult not to have some sympathy with the remaining partners, Rachel Hatton and Dave Dye, as Baillie was presumably at least as culpable for failing to attract more clients. Sadly, such can be the life of a start-up in a super-served UK market.
As to the departure of Charlton and Dawson, this came as a surprise to pretty much everyone and maybe including the pair involved. It also sent the rumour mill into overdrive with some particularly juicy gossip about the true reasons for their exit. Either way, something had gone terribly wrong at an agency that launched with big hopes and high expectations (something that sadly can't be said about the rather vague and nebulous Hello People proposition).
Stripping out BETC London's entire management team was decisive but nonetheless rather startling
At face value, BETC London hadn't suffered from the same problems as Hello People and, with the backing and support of its creatively lauded and powerful Paris mastership, nor should it have. After a sluggish start, the agency managed to produce some decent enough work and there was a slow but steady trickle of accounts coming through the door. However, the shop appeared to be establishing itself as a domestic plodder rather than an international powerhouse and, sadly for its launch team, this didn't seem enough for its French paymasters, who expected bigger things from the first component in its nascent network. Some pretty brutal corrective surgery was deemed appropriate and stripping out its entire management team was decisive but nonetheless rather startling.
Insiders say there was frustration at the quality of BETC London's creative output, and the drive and motivation of the pair to copy the Paris blueprint, while others contend that Charlton and Dawson's relationship had broken to the point where the agency was dysfunctional. Nonetheless, there is still some industry goodwill for the pair, even if BETC is glad to be shot of them – and their replacements, the little-known Andrew Stirk and Rosie Bardales, may need to make an impression fast if they are to avoid a similar fate.

Sanderson Jones: "Sorry, we can't take any more questions for the presenters you came here to see; we've gotta leave time for me to babble inanely".
Priorities? Sure, you can be funny (loud, but funny - who was manning the PA anyway, and anyone else still have a crick in the neck from the ceiling mounted projector?), but seriously, don't cut off the flow of questions just so you can launch into your self indulgent humour. Fine to interrupt if it's tight for time and you need to introduce the next presenter, but otherwise, please remember what you (and everyone else) is there for. (Hint: it isn't you.)

I went to Sanderson's show last night (he does one every Wednesday at The Star of Kings Pub near Kings Cross off York Way) and it was amazing. I highly recommend it, I couldn't stop laughing!
Anyway....My company, Ginicam, has created a brand new video streaming technology that allows an unlimited number of people to engage in a live video conference, broadcast or feed simultaneously (for free, two-way HD video). It is not flash based and uses very little bandwidth. We've created a platform for people to buy and sell services in real-time using this new technology. We are also doing white-label/bespoke builds for companies wanting to use the video streaming technology outside of our platform. If you'd like to know more send me a message or email me at: [masked].
I look forward to seeing you all tonight.
Kind regards,

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — One of four remaining clinics in Kansas that provide abortions has closed because its doctor and manager have retired.
The Aid For Women clinic in Kansas City, Kansas, closed Saturday and is referring patients to three other clinics in Kansas, two in suburban Kansas City and one in Wichita.
Clinic manager Jeff Pederson says former patients need to fight for reproductive rights instead of relying on clinic workers to wage that battle.
Wichita-based anti-abortion group Operation Rescue filed a complaint with the state Board of Healing Arts in 2012 alleging Aid for Women failed to report child sexual abuse. A lawyer for the clinic denied those claims.
Operation Rescue on Sunday hailed the clinic's closing and said it was told recently that the BOHA case against the clinic was ongoing.

I have 100 years of monthly data where each month is a file and the file name ends with the year and month of the data.
e.g. "cru_ts_3_10.1901.2009.pet_1901_1.asc" is the file for year 1901, month 1 (January).
The problem is when I list my files the order of the files changes, the months 10, 11 and 12 come after 1:
files <- list.files(pattern=".asc")
[1] "cru_ts_3_10.1901.2009.pet_1901_1.asc" "cru_ts_3_10.1901.2009.pet_1901_10.asc" "cru_ts_3_10.1901.2009.pet_1901_11.asc"
[4] "cru_ts_3_10.1901.2009.pet_1901_12.asc" "cru_ts_3_10.1901.2009.pet_1901_2.asc" "cru_ts_3_10.1901.2009.pet_1901_3.asc"
I can see why that happens, but how can I import my data in the right monthly order?

World Trade Center Angels
Location: Secaucus NJ USA
By: Roxanne Cintron
When I was a college student, I took a job in a store that sold Apple Computers. The other staff members were mostly students, also. One reminded me of David Niven. He had a slight build, a charming smile, and a sharp wit. It was no surprise to any of us when he interviewed for a position at a software publisher in New York City and was immediately hired. We all took our turns congratulating him. I was particularly happy fo rhim because he had always made life at the store entertaining with his comments and optimistic take on life.
I told him how happy I was for him and asked him where his job was located. Our store was only half an hour from Manhattan. He told me he would be working at the World Trade Center. It was then that my heart sank. My former employer and I had visited her husband\'s office there once and I had been scared to see a small plane flying close to the towers. My friend\'s husband had assured me then that all people were told to go to the fireproof stairways in the event of a plane crash.
When I talked to Andy he told me the same thing. However, my feelings were stronger than ever this time. I asked him what he would do if the crash occurred beneath his floor. He said that he would go to the roof to wait for an helicopter. He seemed so confident and I did not want to sound like an old fuddy duddy. So I said to him, \"Well, I;m sure God would take care of you.\" His next words stunned me. He told me that he was agnostic and did not really believe in God. I ws floored when a voice said to me that I shoudl tell hiom that if he wre ever in a very bad situation that God would forgive those words even at the last minute. Insterad of saying that I told him something a little milder, that God would always take care of him because he was such a nice person. But in my mind I saw him trapped in the World Trade Center.
Of course, years passed and I never saw my co-worker again. I was living right across from the World Trade Center and working in West New York when the planes hit the Twin Towers in September, 2001. My first thoughts were of my former co-worker. I always prayed that he had somehow made it out alive. But when I saw the list of confirmed dead his name was at the top.
I was talkign with friends recently, five years after the tragedy recounting this stoy when my best friend looked me in the eye and told me two stories that allayed my fears for him.
One story was of her friend who had just arrived at the WTC when the first plane hit. She was Catholic but also Pentecostal and had run for her life over the Brooklyn Bridge as a cloud of debris and dust hurtled toward her. She finally outran the cloud and had time to turn to look at what was unfolding. It was then that she saw thousands of angels riding the clouds, bearing spirits of the newly dead to a gigantic figure of Jesus. This had truly touched me becaue I had seen the Associated Press photograph reprinted in Newsweek of a diablolical head in the dust alongside the World Trade Cecnter smirking evilly. I had wondered where God was that day and now I knew. Of course, he was there.
But still I fretted over my co-worker. What about someone who was agnostic?
My friend, Ronnie, told me this story. A Catholic priest had also witnessed the crashes from the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge and felt complelled to say the prayers of Last Rites as the buldings fell and long afterward. He said them, she told me, so that all the souls who needed it could go to heaven.
These healing words lifted a five year burden from my hear. That she should have learned of these two miracles and been able to repeat them to me was a thrid miracle.
I know that Andy who was truly one of God\'s special people was only being called home. His guardian angel and the angels of my best friend, her friend, the priest in Brooklyn, the angels of all those people trapped in the world Trade Center towers and on the planes, and finally my guardian angel were all taking part in God\'s plan to protect, to deliver, and to comfort.
Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us. We would like to share with you the stories of people who take pleasure in expressing how real angels are.

Another delay: Obamacare on the fly
At this point, why bother passing laws at all? Why not send Congress home for the next two years and let the President run the country at will? To govern with his pen, unencumbered by the will or resistance of the people, is what Obama desperately wants. If it is OK for him to do that with Obamacare, why not with the rest of the federal government? What is the limiting principle that would apply to everything else but Obamacare? If Obama's apologists cannot answer that question, maybe they should rethink their uncritical support.

If Facebook is a marketing tool that your restaurant uses, you're probably quite aware of the mandatory change over to the new Facebook layout, Facebook Timeline. Whether you like it or not, it seems to be here to stay. For now.
So, what's the big deal? With Facebook Timeline, online marketing on this social network will begin to shift and become more personal. Here's how:
1.) Admin Panel is different
When you first go to your brand's page, you will notice there is a dashboard for the page's insights on top, above the cover photo. This may be hidden, but you can open it by simply clicking on the button, "Admin Panel," to the right. You can use these tools shown in the dashboard daily to get a good idea of how your page is working. Check out to see the new people liking your page and when they liked it, manage posts and see the traction each new interaction got and more. With insights, you can also click in to dig deeper into your pages' results.
Once you click in, you'll be able to see how many people you could potentially reach on a viral level and more. That number is pretty big, huh? Time to get cracking on awesome ways your brand can reach as many of those people as possible.
2.) Your page now has a cover photo
After you get through checking out the Admin Panel, scroll down to find the cover photo. Different concepts are doing different things with this new horizontal, large photo display. You can use it as a banner to introduce your new products. Or, perhaps you can put a welcome message here. Maybe you want to display your other social networks in the image so people can follow you wherever you are. Whatever you'd like to add to your page and make sure it gets attention, put it here.
The size for the Facebook cover photo is 850 pixels wide by 315 pixels high. If you're not into graphically designing the cover photo yourself, or choosing a photo that you currently have to fit the space, companies are popping up to help you with that. Simply do a Google search for "Facebook cover photo creation" to find dozens ready to help you create the perfect Timeline introduction.
3.) You can message brands privately
Facebook is helping brands have more of a personality with their new private message feature. Now, instead of your Facebook fans having to post on your wall to interact with you, they can send you private messages if they choose to do so. This will help eliminate the need to gather e-mail addresses for customer service issues, or to hope that Facebook fans will check your page later on to see the message you left on their post.
With the private message feature, they can send you messages which will be held in your Admin Panel dashboard for you to respond with. Be sure to have someone checking messages daily. There is nothing worse than having a fan leave you a message and not replying to it.
Remember, social media is about being social. Always treat it as an extension of your customer service.

Mexican Thanksgiving Traditions
Mexican Thanksgiving traditions are unique with similarities to the way American's celebrate this most cherished holiday. The Mexican people as a whole are a very kind, giving and polite community. An old, well-established country, rich in history of ancient civilizations and inspiring vistas. They are our southern neighbors. We are united in our customs and traditional holidays that are celebrated religiously. Many Mexican Thanksgiving traditions are deeply rooted in folklore or fiction-fantasy themes. Ceremonies and celebrations revered in our highest of most high "thank you" occasions.
- Thanksgiving Day in Mexico is always celebrated, It is a North-American holiday. Much of what we cherish, cook and eat is found in Mexico. There are many Mexican-American families that are a part of the American family heritage. Their culture, talents and charm add to our Thanksgiving celebrations, immensely.
- Many Americans visit and enjoy Mexican Thanksgiving traditions. The prices, hospitality, festivities and fresh foods are incomparable. They plan their vacations around this time of year to soak in and enjoy Mexican Thanksgiving traditions.
- Many dishes served in restaurants or homes with large family gatherings have a delightful Mexican flair. Some recipes may include: Mexican chorizo pumpkin soup, cranberry relish and mango salsa, fruit and nut bread pudding, and Fresh turkey, pork or chicken prepared in various styles and flavorful cooking methods.
- Mexican Thanksgiving traditions go far beyond the globally acknowledged American Thursday in November. A day to focus purely on "thanks" is the core of our spirit as humans, all found in Mexico. Oh…pumpkins, corn, green beans and squash? A part of their daily diet, yes, all of these things and much, much more. Mexican. Thanksgiving traditions have been around for many years, experience it first-hand sometime.

London has one of the longest musical histories in the world, and London concerts are truly second to none. The city itself has bred some of the best artists in the world, and the venues in which they play are truly museums of music.
For starters, consider the list of artists and bands who have not only played concerts in London, but are actually from the UK: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Queen, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Sting, Fleetwood Mac, The Cure, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Amy Winehouse, Adele, Coldplay, George Michael, Mumford and Sons, Lily Allen, Eric Clapton, Morrissey, and Pink Floyd, just to name a few.
And it's not just the artists, but where they play the concerts that matters in London as the city is home to major concert halls like Royal Albert Hall and HMV Forum, arenas like the O2 and Wembley, and of course all the midsize spots like Shepherd's Bush Empire, Hammersmith Apollo, O2 Academy Brixton and Islington, and countless others.
Every kind of musical genre can be found on any day of the week, whether it's the latest dubstep king playing at the Ministry of Sound, or rap, rock, and reggae artists filling venues of all sizes.
And beyond the halls, arenas, forums, and stadiums, there are hundreds of small venues strewn throughout the city where Coldplay and Adele wannabes sing their hearts out in front of small groups and attempt to become the next big thing.

For the past several years, the IT industry's transition to the 3rd Platform, built on mobile computing, cloud services, social networking, and big data analytics technologies, has dominated the annual Predictions from International Data Corporation (IDC). For 2013, IDC predicts the transition to the 3rd Platform will shift into high gear as the industry accelerates past the exploration phase and into full-blown, high stakes competition.
"The IT industry as a whole is moving toward the mobile/social/cloud/big data world of the 3rd Platform much more quickly than many realize: from 2013 through 2020, these technologies will drive around 90% of all the growth in the IT market," said Frank Gens, Senior Vice President and Chief Analyst at IDC. "Companies that are not putting 80% or more of their competitive energy into this new market will be trapped in the legacy portion of the market, growing even slower than global GDP."
For 2013, IDC predicts worldwide IT spending will exceed $2.1 trillion, up 5.7% from 2012. The biggest category driving this growth will once again be smart mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, eReaders), which will grow by almost 20% in 2013 and generate nearly 57% of the industry's overall growth. Excluding mobile devices, the IT industry's growth is forecast to be just 2.9%. Among the other major IT categories, worldwide software and services spending are forecast to grow 6% and 4%, respectively. The PC and server markets are also expected to return to modest positive growth in 2013, aided in part by more favorable year-over-year comparisons.
On a regional basis, IT spending in emerging markets will grow by 8.8% in 2013 to more than $730 billion. While this figure represents 34% of all IT spending worldwide, it represents more than 50% of all new growth in the IT marketplace. The BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) will continue to dominate IT spending among the emerging markets with China capturing more than a quarter of this spending. Equally important, developments in emerging markets will start to reshape key global markets because of their oversized share of industry growth. As an example, IDC expects China's ZTE to compete for a position among the world's top 3 smartphone makers based on its phenomenal growth rate and strong position in emerging markets.
As noted above, mobile devices will continue to be a significant driver of worldwide IT spending. But the anywhere, anytime access offered by these devices is also changing consumer behavior as more and more people turn to their smartphones and tablets as their primary means of going online. This trend will be further accelerated by the popular embrace of "mini tablets" (sub-8" tablets) in 2013. IDC predicts this segment will account for as much as 60% of the 170 million tablets shipped in 2013.
In the battle for primacy over the mobile operating system market, 2013 will be a critical year for Microsoft and Research In Motion. Both vendors need to capture much greater interest from mobile app developers to expand the number of apps that run on devices powered by their respective operating systems. Failure to do so by the end of 2013 will likely be the beginning of their demise in this market. Meanwhile, hardware vendors like Samsung will explore their OS options, including Linux/Tizen, as a hedge against the growing market dominance of Android.
Cloud will also be a powerful contributor to industry developments in 2013 with the merger & acquisition (M&A) activity of the past 20 months actually accelerating. IDC expects to see over $25 billion in acquisitions over the next 20 months as cloud services become the centerpiece of more and more vendors' offerings. As packaged application providers like IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle become software as a service (SaaS) providers themselves, they will increasingly battle with SaaS pure plays like Salesforce.com and Workday for leadership in some of the major application software markets.
Elsewhere in the cloud, IDC expects 2013 will see an explosion in industry PaaS (public platform as a service) offerings as the market moves up the software stack and "horizontal" PaaS becomes commoditized by platforms built on open source-based infrastructure. In industry PaaS, cloud-based shared services environments are being tailored to the needs of a specific industry, while additional industry-focused solution developers are developing and deploying a range of industry-targeted value-added solutions and services on these platforms. Examples of emerging industry PaaS include: NYSE Capital Markets Community Platform in financial services; numerous health information exchanges in healthcare; and Johnson Controls' Panoptix App Marketplace in smart energy.
The trend toward industry-specific solutions will be further driven by the increased participation of line of business (LoB) executives in IT investment decisions. In 2013, nearly 60% of new IT investments will directly involve LoB execs (with them as the decision maker in 25% of the investments). As a result, IDC expects that businesses will spend $65 billion on industry-specific solutions in 2013, with a rapidly increasing number of them leveraging 3rd Platform technologies. This figure will grow to nearly $100 billion in the next 3 years as businesses use these technologies and solutions to create new products and services, and redefine existing customer relationships.
All of the trends outlined above – increased use of mobile devices and apps and the migration toward SaaS and industry PaaS – will also drive profound changes in the datacenters and IT organizations supporting these 3rd Platform solutions. Here, converged systems (combining server, storage and network systems together with the software to manage them) and software-defined networking will transition from market hype to market reality in 2013 with enterprise datacenter and cloud-provider use cases coming to market and getting deployed. Both nascent datacenter technologies will show explosive growth in 2013, reaching a remarkable 30-35% penetration in the datacenter by 2016.
In the social software market, enterprise software vendors will continue to step up their app transformations with social technology acquisitions, accelerating the buying spree that began in 2011. Look for Microsoft to beef up its CRM/Customer Experience offerings by acquiring a community management platform like GetSatisfaction or Lithium. Similarly, Oracle can be expected to abandon its attempt at creating an enterprise social network and acquire a more robust tool with an existing customer base. Meanwhile, businesses will struggle with enterprise social network sprawl in the transition from experimentation to integration.
Elsewhere, "Bring Your Own Identity" (BYOID) will bring consumerization to enterprise security in 2013, as security software vendors and IT shops start using Facebook, Google, and other social and consumer cloud identity services as a core part of their identity management environment, giving them the ability to extend identity management from their enterprise out to wider circles of customers, partners, and prospects. It will become even clearer that "consumerization" is not just about end user devices (smartphones, tablets); but increasingly about many of the core parts of enterprise IT.
Finally, big data will continue on its growth path, with investment in technologies and services growing to nearly $10 billion in 2013. But the focus of this investment will see an important shift in 2013, as more VC funding and M&A goes toward the upper half of the big data stack: analytics and discovery tools, and analytic applications. IDC expects predictive analytics will be a particular hot spot in the months to come.
IDC's predictions for 2013 are presented in full detail in the report, IDC Predictions 2013: Competing on the 3rd Platform (Doc #238044). In addition, Frank Gens will lead a group discussion of this year's predictions in an IDC Web conference scheduled for Thursday, November 29 at 12:00 pm U.S. Eastern time.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality. These challenges can't be addressed w...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...
