NJ Transit strike over but trains not running until tomorrow
NJ Transit and the union representing engineers reached a tentative agreement Sunday to end their strike, but trains are still not running Monday. Officials say rail service will resume Tuesday morning. In the meantime, the agency's contingency plan increased bus service into New York City, but commuters are encouraged to work from home, if possible. NJ Transit rail service to resume Tuesday Some commuters took advantage of the four satellite Park-and-Ride locations set up to catch buses into Manhattan. NJ Transit personnel were on hand to help at the site outside the Woodbridge Center Mall. The buses left every three minutes during the morning rush, and few had commuters on them. Either people were heeding the warnings to work from home, or getting into the city another way. "I woke up earlier, because I was anticipating everybody was going to swarm this area, because the train station is always packed, and I figure trains can take a lot more people," commuter Anthony Hein, of Colonia, said. "So I would've liked that extra sleep." Some commuters said they were feeling the stress the past several days. "Definitely it's been inconvenient," said New Jersey resident Ronit Modi. "Also the bus service is only to Harrison, so if you have a monthly pass, it's an additional expense." Officials say trains aren't running Monday because the process of moving them from the yard for inspection takes at least 24 hours. What we know about the NJ Transit strike settlement As for the details of the tentative deal, both sides remain tight-lipped. Government sources tell CBS News New York the agreement will not raise fares, at least for now. Both NJ Transit and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) say they are happy with it, and union members will vote on it in about a month. Sources say it involved the union making concessions on work rules and the agency on benefits. "I would like to think that this is an agreement that is worthy of ratification, and that the membership will vote to ratify it," BLET General Chairman Tom Haas said. "We were able to find a solution that meets the needs of the customers and our employees and, more importantly than all of it, the taxpayers of New Jersey," said NJ Transit President & CEO Kris Kolluri. "The deal itself reflects a series of concessions that came together by way of a work rule that will eventually end up paying for this fair wage that the unions have asked for." As to whether there will be any issue ratifying the agreement, sources familiar with the talks say it appears members will vote for it.

The rules for wearing fragrance without overpowering others (take note, Macron)
It appears that the president may be suffering from the olfactory equivalent of 'blusher blindness'. The term, popularised on social media, refers to an inability to objectively gauge how much blusher one is applying – often resulting in overly rouged cheeks. Perhaps Macron has spent so long swept up in a cloud of Eau Sauvage that he's become desensitised to it. But that doesn't mean everyone in his vicinity has, and it must be remembered that scent sensitivity can vary wildly from person to person – not least those affected by hormonal fluctuations. While it's chic to have a signature scent, a little restraint is advisable when it comes to its application. So how should men apply their fragrance? The rules for wearing men's fragrance 'Scent can be very potent, so if you're spending time in close proximity to a lot of other people you should be a little more gentle with your approach,' says fragrance journalist Alice du Parcq. It pays to be thoughtful with where you spray rather than dousing yourself, she continues, recommending two moderate spritzes on each side of the neck underneath the ears. Instead of wrists, she suggests an additional spray on the top of each forearm. 'This makes the scent last longer as it's less likely to come off every time you wash your hands,' she says. 'Fragrance holds better here because the skin is more textured and it also clings to arm hair, which is porous.' The kind of fragrance also has an effect, of course, and those looking to strike the right balance should consider products with a lower concentration of fragrance oils than strong eaux de parfum. 'An eau de cologne is a good way for a man to wear a pleasant fragrance without making a statement or overpowering,' says fragrance expert Thomas Dunckley, who also recommends steering clear of resinous amber notes. 'Classics like Eau de Guerlain, £99, or Acqua di Parma's Colonia, £108, bring subtle elegance through fresh citrus notes, warming herbal notes and clean musks,' he continues. For an even more subtle way to fragrance yourself, keep perfume – whatever the concentration – away from skin altogether. 'Doing one spritz on the inner lining of your coat or jacket is a really nice way to introduce a hint of fragrance every time you take it off, put it back on, or move around in it,' says du Parcq. 'The jacket trick gives a really nice scented aura without absolutely rocking the room.' Hair mists, designed to lightly fragrance hair, are another way to achieve a low-key effect. While most are marketed towards women (for now), some of Diptyque's have unisex appeal, including the bitter orange and subtle spice of Eau des Sens, £60. Macron, it seems, will be sticking to a boat-load of Eau Sauvage. But while he might be attempting a bold monarchical statement with his perfume application, it's subtle spritzing that has the most powerful effect.
