The Least Likely Anti-Trump Protest Songs
BE MY NEIGHBOR?
Folk singer Anthony D'Amato, with background vocals from the likes of Josh Ritter and Israel Nash, put out a charity EP of songs that take on new meaning during the Trump era.

Six months into Donald Trump's presidency it's already become a cliché among musicians that everything is awful but at least protest music is going to have a renaissance.
The anti-Trump playlist is pretty packed: from A Tribe Called Quest's rant on the president's campaign rhetoric; to the indie-rock compilation Our First 100 Days; to Roger Waters' Is This the Life We Really Want?, a fiery and stunningly dreary exploration of Trump-era malaise. Plenty of newer artists, too, will compete to be successors to Bush-era political rock stars like Rage Against the Machine, pummeling their audience with in-your-face politics and instrumentation.
But on Inauguration Day 2017, singer-songwriter Anthony D'Amato had a more subtle idea: protest songs that aren't overtly political in their origins, but can take on a new meaning given our anxious political climate.
Vivian Wang
With some help from friends in the indie community—including background vocals from mainstay folk-rocker Josh Ritter, Nickel Creek member Sean Watkins, cosmic Americana guru Israel Nash, and alt-country couple The Mastersons—D'Amato recorded Won't You Be My Neighbor?, a seven-song extended-play aimed at exploring, in part, that exact concept.
"I wanted to bring together a group of artists I admired and create a collection of political music for a cause I believe in," D'Amato wrote for the EP's description, "but I also wanted to push on the idea of what exactly makes a song political. The tracks here are a mix of covers and originals reimagined for a year in which kindness and empathy have become their own form of political statements."
The title, of course, comes from the theme song from the iconic children's show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood—a song which D'Amato reimagined as an open-arms greeting for refugees while the president and his base actively work to dehumanize, ignore, or treat them all as suspected terrorists.
The project began with that song, D'Amato explained, "because I was imagining what would happen to Mr. Rogers if he sang that song in 2017. Rush Limbaugh would be blasting him as part of the 'liberal elite' inviting terrorists to live in your town. Sean Hannity would lead a boycott to get him taken off the air for 'supporting sanctuary cities.'
"It's kind of this very innocent, pure song about kindness and empathy and generosity, and I wanted folks to think about it not as a nostalgic childhood memory," he added, "but as something very timely and relevant to the world we're living in today."
Won't You Be My Neighbor? was released last week in advance of World Refugee Awareness Day (June 20). Appropriately, all of the proceeds from the project will go to the International Rescue Committee, a humanitarian aid and relief organization founded in 1933 at the behest of Albert Einstein. The packaging for the EP's limited-edition physical release is made from recycled cardboard sleeves—hand-assembled, autographed, and numbered by D'Amato.
The Daily Beast spoke with D'Amato about his political motivations and the particular song choices for the other six songs on the EP.
"I was on a European tour that started on Inauguration Day, and I found myself feeling a little helpless as I watched everything unfold from so far away," he explained of when he first came up with the idea. "It was disappointing to see these seemingly uncontroversial concepts like helping refugees from war-torn countries become politicized. I wanted to channel all the frustration and anxiety I was feeling into something positive, so the day I got home from tour I started recording the EP."
Neighbor opens with a cover of Woody Guthrie's classic "This Land Is Your Land," featuring background vocals from Josh Ritter. The song, while initially famous (and controversial) for its political message, has become somewhat sanitized by its ubiquity and its popularly abridged version.
But as D'Amato explained, "Guthrie's original lyrics included verses denouncing walls and bearing witness to the plight of the poor, but those aren't the verses we sing in school, I wanted to draw out Guthrie's original intent with the song, which was to ask if this land really was made for you and me?"
He added that President Trump's withdrawal from the Paris climate accord breathed extra life into the song. "Guthrie's not just singing about the idea of America in this song, he's singing about the actual land and water and trees and air," the songwriter said. "If those things belong to all of us, it's our responsibility to step up and make sure they're protected for future generations, because it all belongs to them, too."
Next on the EP, featuring background vocals from Americana musician Michaela Anne, is a cover of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down," which has never been considered a political outside of the many times politicians have used its titular chorus at rallies. But for D'Amato, the song felt appropriate given the nationwide airport protests against Trump's now-stalled travel ban against six Muslim-majority countries. Petty's original Jeff Lynne-assisted power-rock crunch is translated here into D'Amato's campfire folk aesthetic that swells with its background vocals, synths, and the occasional bell toll.
Anthony D'Amato
Third up is a re-recording of D'Amato's own song, "On the Banks of the River Where I Died," with background vocal, fiddle, and guitar from The Mastersons. "I wrote this one years ago when I read about a particularly treacherous border crossing where Mexicans were drowning trying to make it to the United States," D'Amato said.
Thematically akin to a Devils & Dust-era Springsteen track, "It's sung from the perspective of someone who's died trying to find a better life for their family. Regardless of political affiliation, I think anyone can relate to the idea of being willing to risk everything to help the ones you love the most." The song itself, however, is reminiscent of ubiquitous, rejoiceful English folk melodies—a clever juxtaposition with the weightiness of the story itself.
Following that is a slowed-down version of Bob Marley's "One Love"—normally associated with positive reggae vibes and Sandals vacation commercials, but reimagined here as a prayer for unity in the face of political despair. The choice to record the song, with background vocals from neo-folk upstart Lizzie No, was thanks, in part, to time spent on tour last fall with Ziggy Marley, D'Amato said. The finger-picked pacing and occasional use of Sufjan-like atmospherics works to emphasize the song's communal mentality.
Following that are two more originals from D'Amato. "Holy War" is a song he told The Daily Beast he wrote several years ago in response to the bravery and heroism of vets returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan with post-traumatic stress disorder. "Regardless of political affiliation," he said, once again channeling his fellow New Jersey native Springsteen, "it's easy to agree that the way they're neglected upon coming home is shameful."
And "If You're Gonna Build a Wall" is D'Amato's own furious response to Trump's plans for a big, beautiful border wall. Written during the Republican primaries and performed extensively since, D'Amato re-recorded the track here because, he said, "Walls have a way of coming down, and history tends to be unkind to the builders. The song touches on immigration and race and police violence, because I think we live in a society with lots of walls, but most of them aren't physical structures."
The new version of the song features background vocals from Nash and No, along with more gritty guitar and synth than the folksy original version. As such, the righteous indignation comes through, tying neatly into the final track: "Won't You Be My Neighbor?"
"I don't think this song has ever served as a 'protest anthem' before, but in these days of ICE raids and refugee bans," D'Amato said of closing the EP with the Mister Rogers theme song. "I can't really hear it as anything else."


In occasion of AgriUmbria- the national fair dedicated to agricolture, zootechnics and alimentation- the conference "Ridurre gli sprechi alimentari con il modello di business i-REXFO" ( "To reduce food waste with the i-REXFO business model") took place on march 30th last.
On march 15, it took to the streets to protest against the failure to implement environmental policies.

In some regions it is considered as semidried type. Sometimes it is referred to as Ghasb. The fruit in kharak stage is yellow, light brown in rutab stage and in tamr stage it is reddish-brown or light yellow. In Iraq, it is considered a major export. The fruit is oval in shape, with a sharp tip. The shelf life is good and it is easy to transport. High sugar content made this variety suitable for alcohol and vinegar production.
The ratio of pulp to kernel is 6,45, and its kharak stage is concurrent with August but the completely ripened fruit is harvested in early September. This kind of date is grown in Borazjan, Kazeroon, Firozabad, Booshehr, Jahrom, Laar, Ahvaz, Khorramshahr, Iraq and the USA.
In Iran, this is the second most important type of export date after Samaran. This type is grown in different state regions. Its place of origin is located in Bam, Iran. Mozafati Bam type is deemed as one of the best Iranian date types due to high domestic marketability.
This type is also present in Kerman province (Bam, Jiroft, Kahnouj, Shahdad, Narmashir) in Saravan, Iranshahr, Nikshahr, Hajiabad, Tabas, Khor and Biabanak of Esfahan. Mozafati is extra high quality, from dark red to black in colour. Its main domestic market is Tehran province. Within the recent years, Mozafati export has on the rise.
One of the essential problems of this type is preservation, as it quickly becomes sour and must be kept in cool place to remedy that.
This type is called Samaran, Astamaran, Sambaroon in the different regions. It includes about 70-80% of palms in Khuzestan Province. This type has a high commercial value and one of the most important exports of Khuzestan Province. The most important characteristics of this type is its semidried state that increases conservation period.
Its fruit is oval in shape (sometimes vaguely rectangular) – with an average weight of 8,31 gr, semidried, of light yellow colour. When it ripens, the colour shifts to amber and reddish-brown. The skin of Samaran date is thick and relatively rough. The ratio of pulp to kernel is 6,71. The edible part of fruit is sweet and somewhat tart. The kernel doesn't stick to the fruit. These dates normally ripen at about August 15, but completely ripened fruit is harvested in the middle of September (5th to 22nd).
very high, which makes it perfect for export.
Kabkaab type is planted in date-growing regions such as Khormoj, Behbahan, Kazeroun, Jahrom and Tabas.
The Kabkaab size is very coarse. The raw khalaal (kharak) of this kind is not usable. Kabkaab dates must be thoroughly cooked and dried.
The fruit colour in kharak and rutab stages is yellow and in completely ripe stage its colour changes to dark brown. It is mostly used in rutab and date states. This fruit is oval in shape, 15 gr in weight, semi dried, light yellow, with a thick skin. The fruit pulp to kernel ratio is 9,25.

The new BMW motorcycle is so safe that the rider does not need a helmet or any protective gear. The motorcycle would supposedly be so smart that you wouldn't need a helmet or even a padded suit. According to BMW, it's a bike that has self-balancing systems. Several systems, such as "Digital Companion," which will offer riding advice and adjusting ideas, and "The Visor," which is a pair of glasses that show the entire field of your vision and are controlled by eye movements, correlate to return active feedback. The systems update riders with information about road conditions while adjusting the ride of the bike continuously, depending on the rider's driving style. BMW made the appearance similar to their first motorcycle, the R32.

Corporation Tax Cuts Far More Costly Than Previously Estimated
Published on : February 5, 2019 by Richard Anderson
Corporation tax in the UK is currently 19%, but the government intends to cut this by a further 2%, bringing corporation tax down to just 17% – the lowest in history.
The rationale is this will encourage corporations to continue trading in the UK post-Brexit, meaning more reinvestment and job creation and increased wages.
HMRC suggests for every percentage drop in corporation tax, the public coffers lose roughly £3.1 billion. This means the 2% cut will cost approximately £6.2bn.
This is at a time when councils are struggling with reduced budgets, and the government is trying to fund £20m deficit in NHS funding as well as address record levels of in-work poverty following four years of frozen benefits.
Are Corporations Paying More?
Defending their plan to cut corporation taxes, ministers claim corporation tax currently generates record figures, funding nurses, police, and other public services. They suggest that cuts to corporation tax could lead to increasing yields.
Technically this is true. In 2008, corporation tax accounted for around £47bn, while in 2018 this rose to £56.2bn. However, these figures don't consider inflation: once adjusted, the £47bn received in 2008 would need to rise to £61bn in 2018 to break even.
In real terms, revenue from corporation tax was higher under Margaret Thatcher than today as a portion of GDP.
As noted by the Office for Budget Responsibility, tax collected as a proportion of GDP has been falling since the 1980s, although it was slightly higher last year.
What Does This Mean for Businesses?
The proposed changes will affect 1.1 million businesses paying corporation tax in the UK. If you're a business owner, you'll need to find out how these changes will affect your company. Cheltenham accountants https://www.randall-payne.co.uk can ensure you are compliant with tax rules, whatever the outcome.
The UK has one of the lowest rates of corporation tax already, with rates of 33.3% in France, 29.8% in Germany and 30.9% in Japan. Even America has higher rates, as Donald Trump reduced corporation tax from 35% to 21% in 2018.
With the outcome of Brexit not yet known, it remains to be seen whether proposed cuts will increase public spending, as argued by government, or whether HMRC predictions of losses will be correct.

Around the world with Perth Film Society
As we optimistically look forward to an Indian Summer, it's that time of year when we begin to turn our thoughts to what we can plan for those Autumn evenings, and welcome the recent announcement of Perth Film Society's new programme. Launched in 1999, Perth Film Society invite audiences to enjoy a wide selection of non-mainstream world films that are not shown in larger cinemas. Run by an enthusiastic group of film lovers, and supported by many local businesses, the Society run an Autumn and Spring programme, showing their films at Horsecross Arts Perth Theatre & Concert Hall.
Heather Maycock, one of our Perthshire Creates Content Volunteers has been taking a look at the kind of films they have shown in recent programmes and written this piece to inspire us to join in and enjoy the films shown by Perth Film Society, by taking a trip 'Around the world with Perth Film Society', based on previous films shown.
Destinations to look out for the 2019 Autumn season include Poland, Spain, Japan, Beirut, Belgium, and Italy. The upcoming film programme can be seen on the image below.
This year I missed out on a holiday abroad, and though there have been some glorious days of sunshine, (and more recently summer rain), this hasn't quite made up for the buzzy excitement that a new cultural experience can bring. Lucky for me, and for everyone with all of the wanderlust but none of the means, Perth Film Society are back to fill the hole in my heart just as the nights begin to draw back in this September. Perth Film Society has offered all of us some well-earned escapism over the years, both to far flung places and Scottish gems. So, without further ado – welcome to the Perth Film Society travel guide!
Sweden – The Square
Encompassing the Nordic sophistication that has become so fashionable, Sweden offers magnificent cityscapes in spades. Stockholm's rich cultural offerings shine brightly in Ruben Östlund's The Square (2017). The Square is set against the diverse backdrop of Stockholm, making the film both breathtakingly beautiful and tongue and cheek as Östlund plays with the avant-garde world of modern art. The Square layers questions of morality and the human condition with sumptuous sets and dark humour as the audience follow Christian, a director at an elite art museum. After losing his mobile phone Christian's life begins to unravel. You may end up scolding yourself for laughing and gripping the edge of your seat over the course of the film but despite being so multifaceted, you just can't ignore the feeling that all of this is all oh-so European. If you like to raise an eyebrow at society's rigorous conventions, appreciate art, as well as jokes at art's expense, a trip to The Square is for you.
Japan – Sweet Bean
Rooted in Tokyo's calmer outskirts rather than its bustling bright centre, Sweet Bean will sweep you up in the soft imagery of Japan. Cherry blossoms rocking in the breeze, a deep-rooted respect for the elderly, and taking joy in life's simple pleasures all make watching Sweet Bean an experience to leave your heart full. Sweet Bean shows the manager of a small pancake stand struggling to stay afloat when an old woman convinces him to hire her after just one taste of her homemade red bean paste. Sweet Bean is as about as soft and as sweet as the pancakes themselves and is a warm invitation into Japanese everyday life with friendly people. Oh, and you don't even have to take a twelve-hour flight to get here.
Scotland – Nae Parasan
There's nothing wrong with a staycation especially when you're learning something new and fascinating about your country. Add a touch of renewed national pride and you'll be feeling that cultural buzz right where you are. Nae Pasaran is a testament to the Scottish resolve and compassion. Nae Pasaran tells the true story of Rolls Royce factory workers in a Scottish town in 1974 who refuse to carry out repairs on military planes in solidarity against the violent military coup in Chile. Aside from inspiring a fierce sense of pride in our Scottish communities, Nae Pasaran also is a much-needed message about how the actions and constitution of just a few good people can make such a difference. Nae Pasaran sheds light on this part of Scottish history like never before and brings to life the characters involved. Sometimes we all need our faith in humanity somewhat restored and having Nae Pasaran told by those involved themselves adds to the levity of the film. Powerful and hopeful, Nae Pasaran has the potential to bring out the revolutionary in all of us.
France – Aurore (I Got Life!)
What is it about the French that make them so effortlessly cool? And how do they seem to do with without seeming to care one bit what anyone thinks about them? Aurore probably won't provide any of us with the answer to those questions, but this heart-warming French film just makes you ask them even more. We meet our lead, Aurore, when everything seems to be going a bit downhill, she loses her job, her husband, and to top it all off, she finds out she's about to become grandmother. Aurore though refuses to fall into the trap that so many films with older female characters fall into. Rather than relegating herself to being 'past her prime', Aurore decides it is time to start over. Aurore is a triumph for feel-good films, it keeps its sunny disposition and understates its monumental importance regarding to representation of female characters making the film incredibly life-affirming without any heaviness. The classic French chic captured in so many of the scenes is a bonus, but such a treat. Being unapologetically yourself has never felt so Parisian.
There have been countless other films and destinations at Perth Film Society since its launch in 1999. Promising to provide accessibility to lesser known and foreign films for the Perthshire community, an enthusiastic team has propelled the society's success. Special screenings to raise money for women's charities, ME Research UK, Marie Curie, and support Mental Health Week have not only made PFS beloved to many, but also speaks to the selfless nature of their endeavours. Now part of Horsecross since 2006, film screenings take place over the autumn and spring in the Joan Knight Studio in Perth Theatre.
The Perth Film Society Facebook Page is certainly worth a follow to keep up with the society and scope out the upcoming programmes. As the summer passes its peak and we all begin to peer over into the cold darkness of winter, take yourself off to a film or three. All aboard the Perth Film Society express. Destination? Anywhere you want.

France's labour minister will soon present a batch of new reforms that could have a profound impact on people's daily working lives in France. Or in other words, we can expect to work longer hours.
France will soon begin debating a raft of reforms aimed at loosening some of France's rigid labour laws and reducing some of the constraints on businesses.
The reforms are being drawn up by Myriam El Khomri, the country's labour minister, who is due to present them to the government in March.
However a draft of her bill, which officially is still a work in progress, has been leaked to the French press and it reveals that she plans to make some changes that could significantly alter people's working lives in France.
The publication in Le Parisien newspaper of the main points of the bill has caused an almighty stir in France and left most with the impression that while the symbolic 35-hour working will not be touched, many people could face longer hours at work.
Firstly, the most important thing to note is what won't change. Because it's become sacred in France, the legal length of the working week won't budge and will remain forever and ever at 35 hours. After 35 hours, overtime is paid or extra days off are given (unless you're a manager).
However as we all know, most people in France don't work 35 hours a week, and it will soon become easier for companies to make staff work more. For example the maximum length of a working week will be extended to 46 hours from 44 hours.
And companies will be able to ask workers to put in 46 hours a week for a maximum of 16 weeks consecutively, instead of the current limit of 12 weeks.
In exceptional circumstances, the maximum time worked in a week can be 60 hours - or 12 hours per day - but in future the company won't need to get permission from the state.
They will have to convince unions, but even if they can't then they can simply hold a referendum among workers, in which they'll need over 50 percent of votes.
Those who work "on call" need to be ready to drop everything and well, work, at any minute. But in future, if the company does not actually call on the member of staff then it will simply be considered as rest time. Or in other words, it won't be taken into account when it comes to calculating how much time you worked that week.
In France managers or "cadres" are not subject to the 35-hour week, meaning they work longer hours without the overtime pay or extra days off (RTT) as compensation.
The current law has a rule that forces managers to have 11 hours of rest between shifts. However that will ditched.
In 2013, a set of agreements were painfully thrashed out and put into law which allowed companies going through difficult times to increase (within reason) the number of hours staff worked without increasing salaries - or even to reduce salaries slightly.
The reforms also allowed firms to re-jig employees' working hours to be more productive although the changes were only allowed to be implemented for a limited time.
However in future, it won't just be companies in clear financial strife that will be allowed to introduce these changes, but even companies in good health.
They could do it if they are hoping to conquer new markets and hope to create new jobs. And those who don't agree to the changes could face the sack, rather than just being laid off.
One of the most controversial changes is to limit the amount of compensation paid out those who were found to have been dismissed unfairly after an employment tribunal.
The minister plans to cap the pay-out to three months' salary, if the worker has less than two years of service, six months' salary for those who have worked between two and four years, nine months' salary for between five and nine years of service and 13 months for 10 to 19 years on the job. Over 20 years and it will be capped at 15 months' salary.
While the reforms do not plan to ditch the principle of getting unions to give their seal of approval on changes at a company, the government plans to allow for referendums to take place in a company if unions refuse to agree to changes. If a majority of workers are in favour, unions will not be able to oppose it.
Although it wasn't included in documents leaked to Le Parisien (and although it's definitely a change for the better and not the worse), stories emerged this week that the bill is set to include a law that gives workers legal protection to ignore work emails. Read more about it here.
Trainees aged under 18 will be able to work up to 10 hours each day, instead of eight currently, to a maximum of 40 compared to the current 35 hours a week. And the employer will not need to seek permission from the state.


As we age, most people look to the years ending in "0" and "5" as milestone birthdays. With each half decade, people take stock of where they are and what their future holds. With 2015 now underway, people are looking to see how we have changed in this decade, and what the year 2020 will bring. Technology and data are changing so rapidly that any predictions made today will either be wrong in their timeline or will be eclipsed by how media and technology change. This holds true for all industries, including insurance. A recent study by Strategy Meets Action determined that one of the greatest challenges for insurance carriers finding value in the diverse data available today. However, there are a few changes in technology and data can be qualified. Data is critical when dealing with the changes in the demographic make-up of the country. The insurance buyer of the future is different than yesterday's policy holder. In the past, it was believed that older men were the primary targets for insurance. As the demographics of the country shift younger, more female and more ethnic, it is important to develop products and marketing strategies that appeal to women, millennials, and Hispanics. Each of these groups has specific needs and interests, as well as their own reasons for buying insurance. Whether selling policies via mass media in direct to consumer channels or individual face to face agent sales, these differences must be acknowledged. This can be achieved through the use of data. With the availability of more self reported data than ever before, it is critical that insurance carriers take advantage of the tools that are available within the data sets. The data can help identify the lifestyle triggers, preferred media and distribution channels, and financial indicators that convert prospects into sales. Along with the changes in data, insurance companies must make the necessary technology upgrades to utilize and optimize the data that is available. Technology includes the internal processes of legacy systems that can tie existing policy holder information together with new data variables, online and mobile applications, as well as ease of claims and questions. These changes include life insurance calculators that ask specific follow-up questions based on initial answers, auto insurance claims submitted at the accident site through an app, electronic signatures for life insurance policies, and paying benefits within one day of submitting a claim through Aflac. The combination of all of these technological advances, and future ones we do not yet know about, provide insurance carriers with the stability for the future. As new distribution channels emerging, including retail stores and companies such as Google, insurance carriers must stay relevant if they want to own the policy holder relationship.

We recently were working with a client who has been using Fishbowl for a long time, and in the discussion there was a lot of confusion about terminology. In an attempt to clarify what status changes occur on what activity we created this Image in Excel to explain the various points Inventory goes through.
Obviously the exact status changes based on a parts exact inventory levels status, but this should help explain the process. We can create more complex ones if necessary with customers.

Creamy moisturizing lipstick that delivers intense, long-wearing color, in a satin finish.
**Effectiveness test on wear - 31 women.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CynHe from Wonderful array of colors, pink cranberry is my favorite. I so much enjoy the shinny effect and can't wait to try the new matte pink cranberry color. Long lasting and beautiful gold - plated tube.
Rated 5 out of 5 by oceansacred from Great smooth lipstick This lipstick does not stick to one's teeth, nor bleed. I love the faint scent, and how it feels. I do recommend matching at a Clarins counter in a department store. I never would have expected lichee to look so great on me. Lasts awhile, not all day.
Rated 5 out of 5 by loveouroceans from Smooth, pretty I got the dark red, it is very pretty yet rather formal. I wish I had gotten Joli Rouge as it is a lighter red for every day, it will be next. Smooth, nice scent, good coverage, and it doesn't seem to bleed as much as others have.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JustVIsiting from Ordered Wrong Type "Lipsticks" So Colors Too Dark I bought two Joli Rouge Lipsticks thinking I was buying the Joli Rouge "Brilliant" Lipstick, which is described as "sheer" vs "intense colour" -the description of Jolie Rouge Lipstick. So I'm obviously let down by the lack of shine and fuller coverage. So the lipstick is not shiny but it feels smooth and light on my lips, and the fruity/grape(?) fragrance is exceptional! Colors 742 Jolie Rouge and 744 Soft Plum are not for me. 742 Jolie Rouge is bright! 744 Soft Plum is too dark for me. The fragrance and feel of the lipstick are good enough I will try a lighter shade in the Joli Rouge *Brilliant* product. I did not wear the lipstick long enough to review longevity of color, etc., and didn't experience any adverse effects from it. One recommendation for Clarins: parse out or bullet list product descriptions. Comparing paragraphs is not helpful. Also, Jolie Rouge Brilliant Lipstick states it "Keeps lips comfortable and perfectly plumped with Organic Marsh Samphire.", while the Jolie Rouge Lipstick contains the same product but lacks the "perfectly plumped" description...so is the ingredient supposed to plump lips? Oh, and don't get confused...Currently, the tabs on the windows for the two different types of lipstick are both titled "Jolie Rouge *Brilliant* Lipstick" although the product pages are specific. Thank you.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AmySk from Why did they discontinue 708 - Desert Rose? I absolutely love this lipstick. It moisturizes, plumps your lips and stays on for a good amount of time. However, I don't understand why Clarins discontinued the color #708 Desert Rose? This was the perfect color for very fair skin - it didn't look too pale or pink. I've been searching for a replacement and can't find it. Any suggestions?
Rated 5 out of 5 by happylife from wonderful and nice shade I bought the spicy cinnamon. Love the color on me. Make my lips hydrated the whole day. Not drying at all. Bought another one for my purse!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sozol from Great color The color is great for me.the lipstick goes on smooth,no funny taste like some other brands have.clarins is the best,I have used their products for 30 years. Just started to order on line.nice case for the lipstick even has a lock on the side of it to prevent opening in your purse. I have a similar color I bought years ago number 17,a ginger color,similar to what I just purchased,it's almost out.Please bring that color back Clarins,I would order enough of it to last me till I died.thanks for a great product.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rrmay from Great lipstick! I received this lipstick as a sample and was delighted to find that it does not transfer to my teeth, as so many lipsticks do. It goes on smooth and immediately stays put!! Thank you for this formula.


This UI is really bad. Please suggest improvements. Thanks!
Just straight off I have some trouble telling what the icons in the bottom column does. What does the green arrow do, what does the broom do etc?
Perhaps text is more suitable to convey the message instead.
Also it seems the boxes don't line up properly on the left side. Even thought it displays a inheritance (so I see why you did it), it would be more pleasant on the eye if they were equally wide.
First thought was inspiration at gnome-system-log.
It's basicly just a "data view", it should show information – tersely. So just a single list of "updates". Treeview i guess in gtk.
No icons that make the the list items be higher. There is already enough wasted whitespace with items in treeview… ick! ;).
Maybe the grouping can be done with an expander, preferably with a custom renderer (correct name?) as done in the gossip/empathy chat list versus the standard in system-log which indents the the whole list.
Secondary features could be filters and searching. Either by searching or selecting a date range or certain packages. I don't know who would really need this, maybe admins?.
I'd reduce the icon size.
I prefer the top box at left, with two columns like ubuntu add remove software.
* Imitate Epiphany's History window. Get rid of the "Help" and "Close" buttons (perhaps have a menu bar instead), and get rid of the padding between the lists and the edges of the window.
* Figure out what's causing the bottom list to have a horizontal scrollbar, and fix it.
* What are you trying to show here? I can't tell. If this is a history of past updates, why isn't there a Date column?
* What do the new-page icons mean?
* Would it make more sense to arrange the lists horizontally?
* Would it make more sense to have one list with expandable sections?
* Persuade whoever's responsible to stop putting a silly gap between a scrollbar and the list being scrolled.
Also, I would hide the details using a GtkExpander (I think thats what its called, the one that can be hidden with a little triangle widget to show/hide).
This would leave the important information always viewable, what was updated and when, with more information like the version hidden from view but easily accessible.
The icons are TOO big!
Thought about a timeline widget?
Use a single tree view instead of two lists?
Well, an package updated is surely a part if a system having been updated, so maybe a light-weight tree is helpful, i.e. system updates at the root and package updates on the next level. I'd also find it helpful if the list contained what package was updated — dozens of entries all looking alike aren't really inviting. I won't click on all of them to find out what was being updated ;-).
1) Don't put individual package updates and system updates on the same level, e.g. use a (by default unexpanded) tree where the system updates are on the first level and the package updates they comprise on a second level.
2) Avoid "anonymous" package update entries, I'm surely not going to click on dozens of equally looking "Updated package" entries to find the one I'm interested in.
Well, I wish the pup/pirut folks had the same dedication towards producing good UIs. I think this history UI addition is very useful, and nice enough as is.
* I'd really like to be able to see a per-package history by clicking on the package names and then be able to initiate a rollback of that package along with the required changes.
* Horizontal scrolling is ebil, use an expander widget, ellipses, grow rows vertically, anything.
* Can we include time as part of the heading for days that have multiple installation events?
* The vertical scroll-bar is already a time-line, no need to complicate.
* I'd like user-readable names instead of package names, even though they are longer (as we can see even the package names are already too long).
* We know deep down in our hearts that a search widget belongs here that will search by user visible description, actual package name, etc!


Wooroloo is the local spelling of a word with Aboriginal origins. In 1836 James Drummond noted Aboriginal people referred to certain pools in a brook that joined the Avon River, as 'Worrilow'. Not far from these pools, plans for a townsite to be called Worriloo were drawn up in 1841. The townsite never developed. Further upstream a well to supply teamsters was known as Warriloo Well. Lands Department plans were amended to Wooroloo in 1903.
Two Byfield brothers settled on the upper reaches of Wooroloo Brook to farm, a third set up a steam sawmill once the Eastern Railway made the area more accessible. Byfield's Mill was managed by yet another Byfield brother. It became an official stop on the Eastern line, attracting more orchardists and farmers. The name changed to Wooroloo in 1897 when the mill stop was raised to booking station status.
Extensive grazing leases covered much of the area before 1900 but by the early 1900s the focus turned to timber. Wooroloo was the centre for sleeper hewers and charcoal burners camping in the surrounding bush. A second sawmill opened nearby at Werribee and a third to the north of the settlement in 1905. And, during WW1, local Karri helped solve the shortage of axe handles, usually imported from America. Using a steam engine from one of the closed sawmills, the Buffalo Handle Factory produced handles until the 1940s.
Beechina Hill was chosen as the site for a sanatorium to treat 'consumptives', as they were called, partly due to the supposedly beneficial effects of the fresh air at that elevation. Patients were suffering from what we now call Tuberculosis or TB and, since the first effective drug against it was only discovered in 1944, many lie buried in the adjacent cemetery. Opened in 1915, the 'Sanny' became a general hospital when the Perth Chest Hospital opened in 1958 but in 1970 it was converted to a minimum security prison.

Zane (Japanese: ヒビキ Hibiki) is a character of the day who appeared in Beauty and the Breeder.
Zane had been friends with Suzie since they were in nursery school. They both shared dreams of becoming famous Pokémon Breeders. Like Suzie, his first Pokémon was a Vulpix, who he later evolved into a Ninetales. Unlike his close friend, however, Zane believed that a Pokémon's true beauty came from its physical appearance and not from its inner character. Eager to prove his point, he entered the Pokémon Beauty Contest, pitting his Ninetales against Suzie and her Vulpix.
During the competition, he realized that Suzie and Brock's views on Pokémon breeding were just as valid as his, and asked Suzie if she wanted to start a Pokémon beauty salon with him. After consulting with Brock, Suzie eventually accepted his offer.
Though he only appeared in one episode, Zane is notable for finally ending Brock's infatuation with Suzie. While the pair fought over Suzie's affection, Brock later realized that Zane was a better match for her than he was and eventually decided to support their relationship. Zane also grew to like Brock, recognizing him as a top-class Pokémon Breeder.
Zane has had his Ninetales since it was a Vulpix, and he decided to evolve because a Ninetales has beautifully golden fur. Zane has different opinions from Suzie on making his Pokémon beautiful. He entered it in the Pokémon Beauty Contest against Suzie's Vulpix, hoping to prove to her that physical appearance is the true essence of beauty.
Team Rocket later captured it and the other contestants' Pokémon. Brock's Geodude was able to break down the door of the room the Pokémon were trapped in and get them free. Team Rocket noticed this however, and they sent out their Arbok and Victreebel. Ninetales then teamed up with Vulpix, and together they sent Team Rocket blasting off.
Ninetales's known moves are Flamethrower and Fire Spin.
Zane's Japanese name, Hibiki, is the same as the default name for the male player character in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

The world is continuously producing and releasing greenhouse gases into the earth's atmosphere, which is causing the overall temperature of the planet to rise. With alternative energy sources that perform equally and sometimes better than traditional sources, without emitting harmful greenhouse gases, we will be able to substitute and "retrofit" the way we obtain energy.
Alternative energy refers to energy sources that do not produce unwanted effects, are renewable, are believed to be "free" energy sources, and emit less carbon emissions than traditional energy sources. Alternative energy sources include biomass energy, wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, and hydroelectric energy. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, about 5% of the electricity produced in 2012 nationwide came from renewable sources.
Alternative energy systems offer a sustainable path towards energy security and economic development for nations around the world, while also addressing the issue of climate change and reducing local air pollution. Alternative energy balances and enhances conventional energy systems to provide reliable and affordable electric power to businesses and households alike. Although alternative energy is playing a larger role now than it did 10 years ago, it still is not enough to combat the rates of climate change, population growth, and fossil fuel depletion.

With a degree in English Literature, a 30 year career with technology multinationals such as IBM and Siemens wasn't the obvious path for Andrew Hyde – especially the years he spent working in procurement "by accident" before finding his true vocation in marketing communications.
However, he's found that his experience working with both sales and procurement, plus his love of words, has helped him to carve an individual niche as a marketing and bid document writer. In 2012, he launched his own company: Andrew Hyde Business Communications Ltd, and he relishes the flexibility and variation that freelancing brings.
Recently, he spoke to fellow PCN member, Joanna Brown, about his career.
Why did you choose a career in copywriting, and how did you get into it?
It was more of an evolution rather than an original choice! My career has been spent largely in marketing communications for big corporations. When my part of the company was sold in 2011, my choice was to look for an equivalent role in another big corporate, or take the chance and set up on my own. So, I took a chance – and nearly five years later, I haven't looked back!
What work are you most proud of?
It's hard to pick one area of work, because I offer a range of B2B communications services. I find writing advertising copy the most creative part of what I do. It has to be imaginative and succinct. It's a pleasure seeing the words come together with the imagery in the final piece.
What piece of copy do you really wish you had written?
That's easy: The National Trust's current tagline – "For ever, for everyone." It's so simple, but it has such a punchy and emotional appeal.
What do you do if you hit a bit of writer's block?
I go back to the brief and challenge my understanding of it – is it really clear what the objective is? For example, when drafting responses to procurement questions in a bid document, has the client provided me with the material to answer the question that has been asked – or to answer the question that they would like to have been asked? Also, I research around the topic, look at what other companies in that market sector are saying – and always seek to come at it from the potential reader's / customer's perspective.
What are your favourite and least-favourite writing related tasks?
The part I enjoy most is when the back-breaking work is done – editing is so much easier than writing! When you've got some copy that's almost there, and you read it back, change a word or two, and it begins to sparkle. That's when I can feel my writer's skill coming through – making the words live.
The least favourite tasks are when I have edited and polished a piece of work for a client, perhaps correcting grammatical and spelling errors along the way, only to be sent updates based on an earlier version – which reiterates all the errors over again. That doesn't happen too often, thank goodness! In any copywriting assignment, strict version control is essential to prevent this.
Any copywriting pet-hates?
The very rare occasion when a client does not accept good advice! Many years ago, I produced a document when, at the very last minute before it was to be released, some additional information became available. So, I included it as an Addendum. "You can't do that." the client told me. "That means we made a mistake." I explained that if we had been correcting a mistake, it would be an Erratum – or, more simply, just a Correction. "Well, to me," came the reply, "an 'Addendum' means we are correcting a mistake, so I don't want it."
So, I called it an Appendix, which is really something different again, but apparently, that was OK. The customer is always king, of course!
What's the best piece of career advice you've been given?
Always strive for the best, but don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good (as Voltaire almost said!)
Completing any project – or any piece of writing – well is made impossible if you are determined to complete it perfectly. Find the right balance in whatever you are doing.
What advice would you give to people starting out on a copywriting career?
Write as widely as you can, outside your work as well as within it.
That might mean an article for the parish magazine, or a letter to your local paper: anything that helps you develop your style. Also, read the best written work by others that you find – in whatever field you specialise (or in whatever field you are ploughing a furrow at a given moment, if that's what is paying your bills!)
The objective is not to copy other writers, but to be inspired by their writing style, by their use of language, by their imagination. If you are lucky, that inspiration will then help spark your own creative flame. The good thing is, you never know where inspiration will come from next!
What do you think is the future of copywriting?
Well, like funeral directors, we will always be needed. There is never going to be an end to the need to persuade and convince. The product and the medium might change, but the need for a skilled use of words won't.

Kenyan banks competing for mobile banking customers
KenyaFinancial Services
View in online reader
Nowhere is the ability of Kenyans to turn technology to commercial use better illustrated than in mobile banking. They use their phones to pay for goods and bills, make deposits and withdraw cash from agents, buy insurance, for public transport and to transfer to relatives. According to the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), the value of transactions carried out through mobile phones rose 24.7% to KSh2.4trn ($26.4bn) in 2014, compared to KSh1.9trn ($20.9bn) in 2013. Growth drivers include rising use by merchants and individuals due to convenience, cost-effectiveness and security. As public transport starts to enforce cashless payments, usage is likely to rise.
Competition between mobile money offerings has meant aggressive marketing by Safaricom, Orange, Airtel, MobiKash, Tangaza Pesa and Equity Bank, as well as by many other banks and service providers that use mobile money to serve their clients. In August 2015 Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) and mobile operator Airtel announced a partnership for Airtel Money customers to deposit or withdraw cash in the bank's outlets. Airtel Money also issues a visa card.
Telecoms firm Safaricom, which held 67% of the mobile market in the second quarter of 2015, launched its M-Pesa service in 2007. M-Pesa has achieved tremendous growth in Kenya since its launch, and in March 2015 recorded a 14% y-o-y rise in its "30-day active" users to 13.9mm, with total transactional value through M-Pesa up 26% to KSh4.18trn ($46bn). It now plays a major role as a revenue stream for the operator. Mobile money contributed 33% of Safaricom's total revenue for the year to March 2015, up from 27% the year before.
As with other mobile money services in the country, such as Airtel Money, Mobikash, Orange, Tangaza Pesa and Equitel, the offerings are diverse, ranging from loan products that allow users to save and borrow small amounts using their mobile phones to emergency payment instruments for electricity.
One- Off Success
The mobile money success story was a combination of happenstance, smart regulation and market dominance. The programme's dramatic take-off benefitted from a number of factors, including high demand as a result of limited financial access among the broader population, a light-touch regulatory approach by the Central Bank and Safaricom's majority market share. The latest FinAccess National Survey 2013 showed that the number of adults who use mobile phone financial services was 11.5m, more than double the 5.4m who use bank accounts.
While mobile money products have spread across Africa, few countries have seen the same impressive results as Kenya. Even in neighbouring Tanzania, where the population is roughly the same size, initial results for the launch of M-Pesa were much more modest. Further afield, in countries like Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa and Ghana, mobile money programmes have had only a limited impact.
Broader Trend
Banks will continue to favour technology-fuelled growth, as the lowest cost mechanism for service delivery. By and large, banks favour mobile and agency growth, rather than rolling out automatic teller machines and branches.
The EAC aims for low cross-border money transfer rates from the end of 2015, as Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and South Sudan are now formulating harmonised money-transfer guidelines. It would enable international remittances between M-Pesa, Airtel and Telekom Kenya to MTN mobile-money customers in Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan.
Equity Bank, Kenya's biggest bank, is taking on the mobile money operators. It launched its telecoms unit, Equitel, after getting a licence in April 2014 from the Communications Authority to launch a mobile virtual network operator using Airtel's network. At the July 2015 launch James Mwangi, group managing director and CEO, said, "We will be leveraging on the bank's presence across the region to roll out Equitel."
