Mirrorshades: the Cyberpunk Anthology, edited by Bruce Sterling and published just over twenty years ago, is an overview of the hottest young talent in SF in the mid-1980s. As far as introducing the reader to a bunch of authors, many of whom are writing buddies of Sterling himself, it does a fair job; while I wasn't so enraptured by the stories that I'd want to keep the book and read them over and over again, they at least gave me some idea of which authors of the William Gibson-Bruce Sterling circle I'd want to explore further. On that basis, it's a pretty good book. Mirrorshades is held up by cyberpunk fans as a definitive collection, in every sense of the word. The claim that the book defines the cyberpunk genre originates with Sterling himself, in his introduction. And if the definition was "cyberpunk is stuff that Bruce Sterling and his mates write", I'd have no problem with it.
If only it stopped there.
Cyberpunk as Movement
Bruce Sterling insists on referring to cyberpunk as "the Movement" throughout his preface, as well as the little preamble he puts before each of the stories. He makes statements like "The term captures something crucial to the work of these writers, something crucial to the decade as a whole: a new kind of integration. The overlapping of worlds which were formerly separate: the realm of high tech, and the modern pop underground," and a little later "Certain central themes spring up repeatedly in cyberpunk. The theme of body invasion: prosthetic limbs, implanted circuitry, cosmetic surgery, genetic alteration. The even more powerful theme of mind invasion: brain-computer interfaces, artificial intelligence, neurochemistry – techniques radically redefining the nature of humanity, the nature of self." The idea of cyberpunk as a political subgenre of hard SF, devoted to making statements about the impact of high technology on the dregs of society, has a certain merit…
…except that it isn't bourne through in three out of the 12 stories in the collection. William Gibson's The Gernsback Continuum has almost no cyberpunk elements, with the possible exception of the idea of television as a means to readjust to consensus reality. Its main thrust is a condemnation of the outmoded aesthetics of 1930s science fiction, which – as Gibson points out – has "all the sinister fruitiness of a Hitler Youth movie". Fair enough, but I raise my eyebrow at the idea that SF hadn't moved on from the imagery of the 1930s pulps by 1980.
The inclusion of The Gernsback Continuum makes sense if the definition of cyberpunk is "Bruce Sterling and his mates", and also just about makes sense if you are talking about a cyberpunk Movement: it's important, if you're trying to claim that you are spearheading a new literary movement, to distinguish yourself from that which has gone before, and I can see The Gernsback Continuum to be a statement about what the cyberpunks are rejecting. I can't, for the life of me, understand what Tales of Houdini or Petra are doing in the book, though. Rudy Rucker's Tales of Houdini is a story about Houdini conducting a series of ingenious escapes from life-threatening situations, ultimately escaping from ground zero of a nuclear test. Fair enough, but there's no body invasion or mind invasion visible, nor is it a tale of high tech and low life; the only feature it shares with other cyberpunk works is a prose style reminiscent of J.G. Ballard and the more lucid bits of William Burroughs. Greg Bear's Petra is a fantasy story about a gargoyle running around in a cathedral where all the statues have come to life. There is no question that Greg Bear needed his work promoted to a wider audience in the 1980s; Eon had come out the previous year and had been an absolute smash hit, and Bear had proven he could write passable cyberpunk in the form of Blood Music. The inclusion of Petra makes no sense if cyberpunk is a literary Movement with particular identifying features, and seems pointless from a "Bruce Sterling giving a shout-out to his mates" angle. The definition of cyberpunk is beginning to look like "stories which Bruce Sterling enjoys".
Cyberpunk as Tradition
Fortunately, Bruce himself doesn't seem 100% committed to the vision of cyberpunk as a revolutionary Movement. (I apologise for the capitalisation, it's Sterling's, not mine). In his introduction to the book, Bruce waxes lyrical about the major debt the cyberpunks owe authors of the past, writers such as Philip K. Dick, Larry Niven, and so forth. Bruce wants the cyberpunks to be the heirs of a rich literary tradition, as well as a revolutionary Movement. His attempt to present cyberpunk as a coherent Movement may not pass the acid test, but surely the idea of cyberpunk as tradition has merit?
Possibly. Cybernetic implants go back a long way in SF, at least as far back Cordwainer Smith's 1950 short story Scanners Live In Vain, in which astronauts must receive extensive cybernetic implants in order to successfully navigate ships between the stars (Smith's Instrumentality of Mankind series presents a future history that bears an eerie similarity to the transhumanist fantasies of the more utopian postcyberpunks, coupled with a more cautious, humanistic sensibility). Computers and computing have been present for a long time, as have miscellaneous low-lifes just trying to make a living in a future not of their making (Philip K. Dick rarely wrote a novel where the protagonist wasn't just some ordinary joe trying to make a buck). It's even possible to identify novels which, for all intents and purposes, fit Sterling's given definitions of cyberpunk perfectly – Niven and Pournelle's Oath of Fealty, for example, or John Brunner's Stand On Zanzibar.
However, by linking cyberpunk to these authors of the past, Sterling has made a dilemma for himself: if cyberpunk is a restatement of ideas previously expressed, cyberpunk is no longer special. We can see how cyberpunk popularised and proliferated the ideas of Dick, Brunner, and all the rest of the subgenre's diverse ancestors, and we can see how cyberpunk has produced descendants such as the postcyberpunk work of Stephenson's Snow Crash and MacLeod's Star Fraction, as well as influencing traditional space opera – Peter Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy, M. John Harrison's Light, and Westerfield's The Risen Empire all contain a healthy dose of biotech, AIs and computer networks. But if cyberpunk is a new expression of something which has been present in science fiction for decades, and is still present today, why is cyberpunk itself particularly special? The definition of "cyberpunk" becomes "the name applied to a particular kind of hard SF in the 1980s".
Cyberpunk as a Novel Mixture
There's still one "out" for cyberpunk: the idea that it is a novel mixture of elements, that it's the specific combination of different, previously-existing ideas that makes cyberpunk cyberpunk.
Close, but no cigar. As I mentioned earlier, Stand On Zanzibar and Oath of Fealty are as cyberpunk as they get. Pretty much the only new thing that the cyberpunks bring in is the use of 1980s pop music and fashion. And, irony of ironies, this means that the aesthetic of Mirrorshades has dated just as badly as that of the 1930s pulp nonsense Gibson rails against in The Gernsback Continuum. Let's face it, science fiction authors shouldn't try to predict the future of youth culture: at best, the results are laughably bad, at worst they betray a total disconnect with youth culture. Ladies: PVC skirt, boobs flopped out through your torn shirt, blue fluorescent glowing lines all over your skin, a nine-inch mohawk and electronic piercings sound like a good idea? I didn't think so.
So, what are we left with? A distinct impression that Mirrorshades is a decidedly self-serving collection, an opportunity for Sterling to help out his struggling writer buddies, get chummy with more successful authors, and promote his idea of cyberpunk as Movement, while at the same time laying claim for him and his buddies being the legitimate successors of the New Wave of SF from the 1960s. In a way, Bruce Sterling is the Harlan Ellison of 1980s SF: just like Ellison, he's known as much for the collection he edited as he is for his own fiction, and like Ellison he is prone to making grandiose statements that don't bear much resemblance to reality.
Appendix: Where Are They Now?
Mirrorshades introduced us to 11 authors who, for better or worse, had been lumped in with the "Movement" by Bruce Sterling. I thought it would be interesting to see what they are up to now.
William Gibson continues to focus on computers and the internet with his books, and to his credit his books have become more nuanced and subdued as the Internet has become more developed. His most recent novel, Pattern Recognition, is set in the contemporary world, presumably because the Internet as it exists today is just as exciting and full of possibilities as the hypothetical networks he imagined in Neuromancer and sequels.
Tom Maddox, erstwhile writing buddy of William Gibson, hasn't been especially prolific. He has a little over half a dozen short stories to his name, plus the novel Halo (not to be confused with the computer game). The high point of his visibility was probably the two X-Files episodes he wrote with Gibson. He's put a bunch of his stories online, generously.
Pat Cadigan doesn't like being pigeonholed into the cyberpunk movement, although her work does seem to sit nicely in it – 1998's Tea From an Empty Cup, for example, is about a virtual reality museum which contains a replica of Japan as existed before being destroyed by a massive natural disaster. She also wrote the novelisation for Jason X, which considering that she won the Arthur C. Clarke Award twice is a goddamn tragedy.
Rudy Rucker has also remained squarely in the cyberpunk genre. Then again, he's a computer scientist, so perhaps he's trying to write about what he knows. He advocates a style called Transrealism, which is SF based on the author's own experiences with a heap of fantastic experiences thrown in when you need to symbolise psychological growth.
Marc Laidlaw, conversely, wanders about all over the place with his fiction. The 37th Mandala, for instance, won the 1996 International Horror Guild Award for best novel. He works at Valve software these days, working on the Half-Life series of games.
Greg Bear's work sits squarely in the hard SF category. I think he was included in Mirrorshades because Sterling was impressed by Blood Music; however, Bear's hard SF works like Eon are much more successful.
Lewis Shiner has moved on from cyberpunk to mainstream magical realism, often with a heavy injection of rock music.
John Shirley wrote the first draft of The Crow, and splits his time between cyberpunk and horror.
Paul di Filippo is awfully prolific these days, and writes in pretty much any genre with a "-punk" at the end of it.
Bruce Sterling is still a geek. He writes cyberpunk novels and cyberspace manifestos, he invented things like the Viridian Design Movement (because he likes Movements), and he's written stories in his Shaper/Mechanist universe (the machines-vs-biotech conflict of which Peter Hamilton stole outright for his Night's Dawn trilogy).
James Patrick Kelly is currently preparing Rewind: the New Cyberpunk Anthology. It will be interesting to see if it is as well-regarded as Mirrorshades, and if it is more coherent.

The launching ceremony (Source: vov.vn)
Hanoi (VNA) – National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan on July 16 cut a ribbon to inaugurate the new headquarters of the Hanoi School of Public Health in Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi.
Relocated in the form of the build-operate-transfer (BOT) on an area of 8.8 ha, the school is equipped with modern facilities and devices. It is expected to provide training for about 6,000 students.
Speaking at the launching ceremony, Health Minister Nguyen Thi Kim Tien highlighted the significance of the project, saying that it will contribute to improving health care for the people in general and the training of preventive medical personnel and health managers in particular.
As part of the Government's plan to move educational institutions in the downtown to outlying areas, the project aims to meet the increasing demand of healthcare services and medical training, and reduce traffic and population pressure in the centre of Hanoi.
The Hanoi School of Public Health is among 26 universities and colleges in inner Hanoi, where a large number of students are pursuing their study.
This is the first relocated project of the health sector under the BOT form.-VNA

As more server makers and brands are relocating production lines from China to Taiwan or establishing new manufacturing facilities in the market, Taiwan's role in the server industry has grown more important. Meanwhile, the uprising demand for datacenter servers will continue benefiting Taiwan-based PCB makers in the second half of 2020 despite the upstream supply chain rumor about witnessing datacenter clients decelerating their order pull-ins. Memory ASPs have been declining throughout the second quarter and may have a chance to resume growth in the fourth quarter.
Taiwan emerging as new server manufacturing hub: Taiwan is set to become a new manufacturing hub for servers, as Supermicro, Quanta Computer, Wiwynn and others as well as related components makers are fast expanding production capacity to meet growing demand from datacenters and enterprises, according to supply chain sources.
PCB orders for datacenter servers to stay robust in 3Q20: In response to the upstream supply chain rumor claimed that several key datacenter players have slowed down the pull-ins of their server component order recently, sources from PCB makers said that they have not seen any deceleration in orders from datacenter clients for the third quarter of 2020.
Memory ASPs falling in 2Q20, likely to rebound in 4Q20: Overall ASPs for memory are trending downwards in the second quarter of 2020 along with spot market price falls despite rises in contract prices, but they are expected to resume growth momentum in the fourth quarter of the year, according to Gerry Chen, general manager of memory modules maker Team Group.

Older Adult Performance Using Body Gesture Interaction
Proceedings EPCG'2014 - 21 Encontro Português de Computação Gráfica. Leiria, Portugal. 13-14 Nov
Indexed by
Gesture interfaces are becoming an increasingly popular way to interact with technology, as they are considered very easy to learn and use. However, most gesture interactions studies focus on the average adult or, when focusing on older adults, it is usually in the gaming or physical activity contexts. In this study, we evaluate the suitability of gestural interfaces for older adults, in order to interact with a general technological interface. To this end, we asked 14 older users to perform a set of navigation and selection tasks; two tasks required to interact on most technological interfaces. For each of these tasks, we evaluated two alternative gestures. All senior participants were able to complete almost all the proposed tasks, and enjoyed using this type of interface. We concluded that gestural interfaces are adequate for the senior users, and derived a set of design implications that future developers should take into account when developing gestural interactions for the older people.

After swinging to a third quarter loss of $148 million, plastic clog maker Crocs Inc is to close its manufacturing facility in Brazil. The company also announced it will cut back its capital spending in 2009 by 50 percent, in an attempt to "right-size" its business.
Earlier this year, the company shut down a factory in Canada.
The company has lowered its sales and earnings outlook amid "the extremely challenging retail environments in the US and Europe."
The changes come as Crocs slumped to a net loss of $148 million for the three months to 30 September, down from a profit of $56.5 million a year earlier.
Sales fell 32 percent and were $174.4 million, which also was far lower than expected by either analysts or the company itself. Crocs also saw their profit margin decline to only 1.4 percent compared to a healthy 60.6 percent they had last year.
Ron Snyder, chief executive officer and president of Crocs, stated: "Our performance was below expectations. Based on current trends we have lowered our projected sales volumes and made the strategic decision to further right-size our operations to better align with our lower volumes and revenues."

The US may lead the world in any number of ways but it's notably behind the times when it comes to its banking system (which is antiquated) and to its credit cards.
While most of the developed world (and significant parts of the developing world) have embraced chip and pin technology on the credit cards they issue the US lags significantly behind, and we're only now seeing US credit card issuers beginning to offer customers cards with in-built contactless technology to help speed up transactions (countries like the UK have been using this technology for over a decade).
Still, it's better late than never and it now looks as if Chase is making an extra effort to get more of its cardholders using and talking about contactless technology with the latest promotion it has been emailing out.
Earn 500 Ultimate Rewards Points For Using Contactless
Chase has emailed me an offer which allows me to earn 500 Ultimate Rewards Points for using any of my Chase contactless credit cards 3 times before 31 December 2019 – no registration is required.
- You'll earn an additional 500 bonus Points for 3 contactless purchases from 11/20/2019 through 12/31/2019 using your product during checkout.
- Each contactless purchase must be a minimum of $1.75.
- Purchases are when you, or an authorized user, use a card to make purchases of products and services, minus returns or refunds.
- Please allow 6 to 8 weeks after the qualifying purchase(s) post(s) to your account for bonus Points to post to your credit card account.
- To qualify, your account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment.
- If you change your credit card product during the promotional period you will forfeit this offer.
- This offer is non-transferable.
- We may terminate this offer at any time without notice.
Have You Been Targeted?
The email I've received which has targeted me for this offer has the subject line "Ziggy, earn 500 points" and comes from "Chase Card Services".
If you haven't seen or received an email like this it may be worth searching your email folders to make sure you haven't missed it and searching your spam folders to check to see if it has been accidentally filtered out.
How Do You Make A Contactless Transaction?
It's simple. If your card comes with contactless technology (more info on this later in this post) you just have to tap the card on a checkout terminal which accepts contactless payments and your transaction will be processed.
There's no need to insert your card into the terminal and there's no need for a signature either- just tap and go.
Which Chase Cards Offer Contactless Technology?
Not all Chase cards are currently issued with contactless technology (the IHG Rewards credit cards stand out as examples of some that do not) but most of the popular cards do come with the latest technology.
Personal Cards
- Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card
- Chase Slate credit card
- Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority Credit Card
- Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus Credit Card
- Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Credit Card
- United Explorer Card
- United TravelBank Card
- United Club Card
- British Airways Visa Signature Card
- Aer Lingus Visa Signature Card
- Iberia Visa Signature Card
- Marriott Bonvoy Bold credit card
- Marriott Bonvoy Boundless credit card
- World of Hyatt Credit Card
- Starbucks Rewards Visa Card
- Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card
- AARP Credit Card from Chase
Business Cards
Some of the cards that Chase still services but doesn't issue anymore may also offer contactless technology but they are not mentioned on Chase's contactless website – if you contact Chase the phone agents should be able to tell you which, if any, of the older cards can be reissued with contactless technology.
How Do You Know If Your Chase Card Has Contactless Technology?
Just because a particular Chase credit card now comes issued with contactless technology doesn't mean that the card in your wallet has that technology too – if you haven't had your card replaced in the past year the chances are that your card does not have contactless technology….but it's simple to check.
If your credit card offers contactless technology you should see the contactless sign (the ripples) imprinted somewhere on it.
Some cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card and the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card have the contactless sign on the rear of the card…
…while others, like the United Explorer Card, have the contactless sign on the front:
If your card appears in the list of Chase cards which now come issued with contactless technology but your card doesn't have the contactless symbol you can have your card upgraded by visiting the Chase Card Replacement page.
Quick Thoughts
I value 500 Ultimate Rewards Points at $7.50 and although that's hardly a lot of cash it's still free money for very little work.
As Chase points out, a lot of coffee shops, grocery stores, fast food outlets, vending machines, and drugstores now offer contactless payments so it's not exactly hard to find somewhere where you can make the three transactions needed to trigger this offer (assuming you have been targeted).
Even if you haven't been targeted for this offer it's worth checking to see if your credit cards (across all issuers) offer contactless technology and upgrading your cards where possible if they do not.
Contactless technology may still be rolling out in the US but having the ability to pay with contactless when you're abroad (especially in Europe) can make life considerably easier when dealing with machines and terminals that otherwise require a credit card to come with a pin.
Bottom Line
This may not be a blockbuster offer but it's a good reminder for everyone to check their credit cards and to make sure that they're up to date with contactless technology where it is offered.
Thanks to this offer (and the fact that I'm writing this article) I've only just realized that my Chase Sapphire Reserve card is an older card without contactless built-in so I'll be upgrading it as soon as I've finished this post!

I'll second the motion for NYX blushes - they are excellent and reasonably priced. NYX also makes cream blushes in shades complimentary to their powder blushes, so if you have issues with your blush fading through a long day, if you layer the powder blush on top of the cream, that blush isn't going ANYWHERE.....
Tanning and makeup
TwirlyGirly replied to Hellokitty01's topic in Makeup TalkLast year I bought a tube of Stila Stay All Day® 10-In-One HD Bronzing Beauty Balm With Broad Spectrum SPF 30. During the summer months, I can add a dollop of the product to either a BB cream or foundation to match my skin tone. It works quite well!
Coastal Scents offers two blush palettes that are well pigmented and are comprised of both matte and satin finishes. I really like them for the range of shades offered in both palettes (not to mention the price is great). Their "Blush Too" palette dupes a number of MUFE shades.
Sharpening NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils?
TwirlyGirly replied to llconfidentbeauty's topic in Makeup TalkYes, they can be sharpened (looking at my NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, which is now about 3/4" long - guess I should replace it!) If you don't already have a sharpener in which the pencil will fit, Milani makes a dual sharpener that works great for the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils. If I remember correctly, it's about 6.00.
Just as a clarification, I wanted to explain something in the post above in which I mentioned the similarities between false eyelash adhesive and rubber cement. The reason for the comparison is because with both types of adhesive, you always apply the adhesive to the piece you want to later remove, NOT the piece you want to remove it FROM. That is why applying false eyelash adhesive to your eyelids is a really. bad. idea. If you do, when you peel the lashes off later, the adhesive will remain stuck to your eyelids. (Not to mention you risk getting the adhesive in your eyes and/or on your natural lashes). In any case, it's going to be difficult to get that glue off. If you're thinking about trying this "new technique," just don't. Really.
I found it difficult to remove from the false lashes; not my eyelids. With the Duo latex adhesive, generally I can easily peel off the old adhesive from the band of the lashes after I remove them. But that was challenging with the Revlon Precision non-latex adhesive. Once I realized I am NOT allergic to latex, I switched back to the Duo Eyelash Adhesive for that reason.
I think all of the replies to this topic are excellent! One of the factors I did not see mentioned is TEETH. Bear in mind if your teeth are less than pearly white, warm reds (reds with orange undertones) will make your less-than-white teeth more apparent, while blue reds will make less-than-white teeth look whiter. So, it really is a balancing act (teeth, skin tone, haircolor, colors of garments worn close to the face, other cosmetics you've already applied, etc.) and one which, for some of us, requires MUCH trial and error. But I agree with all of you who said there really is a red for everyone. Finding that perfect one for you can be a challenge (and the red that works for you in December may not be the same red that works for you in June). If you'd really like to wear red, perseverance is key!
Good to know! It looks like the OP was given some bad information then, as none of the three Estee Lauder Double Wear foundations are water-based. @Sigrun.....Can you tell us which of the three foundation formulae you purchased? We may better be able to advise you on primers with that information.
I usually use Duo Eyelash Adhesive. For a while, I thought I had developed an allergy to latex adhesive, so I tried a Revlon non-latex adhesive, but I didn't care for it because I found it extremely difficult to remove from the lashes. When you're wearing lashes almost every day, you want to resuse them multiple times, believe me! The Duo Eyelash Adhesive is sold in both "Clear" and "Dark." I use the dark all the time now, but I think the clear is easier for beginners because its easier to see (IMO) it change from opaque to clear as it dries.
Good information! I did a bit of research, and Estee Lauder makes three "Double Wear" foundations; Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place, Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Stay in Place, and Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover. I'm not sure which of the three foundations Sigrun purchased. I had to really hunt down the ingredient lists for these (I am not fond of cosmetic companies that don't post the ingredient lists for their products, especially since so many people are buying cosmetics online these days). I am by no means an expert regarding cosmetic ingredients, but it appears to me all three formulae are silicone-based, not water-based as the OP thought (please correct me if I'm wrong!): Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place: Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Tribehenin, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Magnesium Sulfate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Methicone, Laureth-7, Xanthan Gum, Alumina, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Cellulose Gum, Propylene Carbonate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Phenoxyethanol. May Contain: Iron Oxides, Mica, Titanium Dioxide. Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Stay in Place: Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Butylene Glycol, Trimethyl Pentaphenyltrisiloxane, Phenyl Trimethicone, Silica, Magnesium Sulfate, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Tribehenin, PEG-10 Dimethicone, BIS-PEG/PPG-14/14 Dimethicone, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenyl Methicone, Sodium Hyaluronate, Dimethicone, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Laureth-7, Glycerin, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Hexyl Laurate, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria), Disteardimonium Hectorite, Methicone, Propylene Carbonate, Tetramethyl Hexyphenyl Tetrasiloxane, Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, Dimethicone Silylate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Alumina, Sorbic Acid, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol. May contain: Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide, Bismuth Oxychloride, Mica, Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide. Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover: Active ingredient: Titanium Dioxide Ingredients: Isododecane, Titanium Dioxide, Isohexadecane, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Petrolatum, Glyceryl Stearate, Quaternium-18 Hectorite, Ethylene Mixed Copolymer, Microcrystalline Wax (cera microcristallina), Kaolin, Cholesterol, Aloe Barbadensis Extract, Lavender, Sandalwood, Tocopheryl Acetate, Isomerized Linoleic Acid, Geranium, Silica, Jasmin, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, Bisabolol, Propylene Carbonate, Polyethylene, Rose, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, BHT, Mica, Bismuth Oxychloride, Iron Oxides, Chromium Oxide Green, Chromium Hydroxide Greens. If I am correct in that all three foundations are silicone-based, then Sigrun, you will need a silicone primer, not a water-based primer.
Copy & Paste & Quote Issues
TwirlyGirly replied to TwirlyGirly's topic in General Support - ForumsAs mentioned in my OP, WIndows 8.1 and IE 11. Did that. Didn't help, unfortunately. And that appears to have been the issue. Initially, I didn't try other browsers as the only browser I had on this new computer was IE 11 (has worked fine for everything else thus far; if it ain't broke.....) But, as a last resort I did download and install Firefox, and Voila! As long as I access MakeupTalk with Firefox and not IE, I can copy, paste, & quote. (As evidenced by this reply... ) Kind of annoying, though, to have to use a different browser for MT than I am able to use for everything else I do ( I've had this new computer for a month now and this is the first website I've visited that has presented issues for me when accessed with IE, but of course I could easily stumble upon more over the next days/weeks). Is this the sort of issue you would normally report, so that it can be corrected for other users of IE?
Copy & Paste & Quote Issues
TwirlyGirly posted a topic in General Support - ForumsIt's been a few months since I've posted here, and have replaced my computer in the interim. Today, I logged in and tried to respond to a couple of posts, and discovered I can no longer copy and paste! In addition, the quote function isn't working for me....if I try to quote a previous post by hitting the "Quote" button in the lower right-hand corner of a post, my cursor jumps to the "Reply to this post" window, but the text from the post I'm quoting doesn't appear. If I hit the "Quote" icon in the "Reply to this post" window toolbar, the quote window opens, but then if I highlight the text from a post I wish to quote, copy, and then place my cursor in the quote window of the "Reply to this post" and click "Paste," nothing pastes. This is true whether I use either of the "Paste" icons on the post toolbar, OR the "Paste" icon on my IE toolbar. When I use one of "Paste" icons on the post toolbar, I do get the pop-up asking permission to access my clipboard, and even though I accept, STILL nothing pastes! I've also tried (just as an experiment) writing something in an email pane (in my email client), copying it, and trying to paste THAT into a reply here, and still nothing. As a third experiment, I copied text from a website and tried to paste it into a reply window, and nothing happened, yet I could paste that same text into an email. Is it me? Did something change, and I didn't get the memo? BTW, my new computer is running Windows 8.1.....(maybe that matters) TwirlyGirly Edit: I'm accessing the site using IE 11, and I have turned off my Ad Blocker for Makeup Talk.... Edit: I just discovered I *can* copy & paste text into various fields of my profile...just not into forum posts. Weird!
It comes from experience...personally, I think it's easier to see with the adhesive that dries clear, as opposed to the dark one. When it's wet, it's opaque. When it's completely dry, it's clear. The "tacky" stage is when the adhesive is translucent. You can always practice with an old pair of lashes on the back of your hand. Apply the adhesive, wait about 30 seconds. Apply to the back of your hand. Are you getting an immediate bond? Is excess adhesive oozing out from under the band? If so, wait until the adhesive dries completely, peel it off the band, and try again - this time, using a bit less adhesive and waiting a bit longer before you apply the lashes to the back of your hand. I didn't mean to imply if you follow Zadidoll's removal suggestions you will rip out your natural lashes. ;)But, that method is more time-consuming than if you're simply able to gently peel the lashes off, which you can do if you've applied them correctly to begin with (correct amount of adhesive, and allowing it to dry to tacky stage before laying the lashes down on your eyelid). Practice makes perfect. I wear false lashes every day (due to a little accident I had with a sunlamp when I was a teenager - nobody told me to wear googles... I ended up burning my eyelids and apparently damaged the lash follicles...causing sections of my lashes to fall out, never to grow again). BTW, really good "practice" lashes are the "Dramatic" lashes made by E.L.F. 1.00 a pair! They have a nice flexible band (which helps make them easier to apply) and while the lashes are long, they aren't terribly dense and I think, look pretty natural. I usually get 5-6 wears out of one pair if I take good care of them.... I'm wearing them in my avatar pic (and if my bangs weren't so darn long, you might even be able to see them!)
Eyelash adhesive is very similar in composition to rubber cement (WARNING: NEVER use rubber cement to attach false eyelashes!!!). You've probably used rubber cement at some point - it's used to temporarily or permanently bond together two pieces of paper/cardboard. For a temporary bond, the rubber cement is applied to the back of the piece you may want to remove later. The rubber cement is allowed to dry until tacky, then the piece is applied to the background paper, adhesive-side down. Later on, that piece may be peeled off and the rubber cement will come with it, leaving behind a clean background. For permanently bonding paper, the rubber cement is applied to both surfaces, let dry until tacky, then pressed together. Eyelash adhesive works the same way. You apply the adhesive to the band of the eyelash strip, let dry until tacky (how long this takes depends upon how much adhesive you apply and the relative humidity in the room), then apply the lashes to your eyelid. Optimally, the adhesive should be dry enough so that you get an instant bond with no leakage of the adhesive (this is tricky, though!). If you consistently end up with adhesive oozing out from under the band when you place the lashes, and/or are able to move the lashes around when applying them, you are either applying too much adhesive, not allowing it to dry long enough, or both. This can lead to your losing some of your natural lashes, because if the wet adhesive seeps onto them and dries, those lashes can be pulled out when you remove the false lashes. (Follow Zadidoll's instructions for removing false lashes, above). When applied correctly, when you remove the lashes ALL the adhesive should go with them, and there should be no residue left on your eyelids/lashes. In most of the videos I've seen, the individual has not waited long enough for the adhesive to dry before applying the lashes. You really have to experiment with this - it takes longer than you think! Work on consistency with the amount of adhesive you apply, and observe changes in color/opacity of the adhesive as it's drying so that you learn to recognize what it looks like when it has dried to the "tacky" stage.
Best affordable brow kit ?
TwirlyGirly replied to aqua_shell's topic in Makeup TalkMilani also makes a good brow kit (I looked, and discovered Milani began selling in Romania in 2012). Here's a link to the Milani brow kit from the Milani website: http://milanicosmetics.com/Brow-Fix-Kit.html If your brows are both sparse and light, for the most natural look I'd recommend you use a powder or pencil to fill in your brows and something to tint your brow hairs as well. I make my own brow tint using e.l.f. Essential Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara (http://www.eyeslipsface.com/elf/eyes/mascara/wet_gloss_lash_and_brow_clear_mascara). I take the tip of the brush from the Lash & Brow Clear Mascara (either end will do), and touch it to the tip of the brush from a regular colored mascara (not waterproof - either brown, dark brown, or black). When I've picked up a bit of the colored mascara on the brush, I insert the brush from the clear mascara back into the tube, and swirl it around a bit. This tints the clear product and when you apply it to your brows, it will tint the hairs as well. If the results aren't dark enough, just repeat the process until the clear is tinted according to your liking. Because this tints the brow hairs with a translucent color (as opposed to opaque), the result is quite natural in appearance (with the added benefit of keeping your brow hairs in place).
MAKEUPGEEK color ideas, brighten eyes (on oily, pale skin)
TwirlyGirly replied to ElectricEden's topic in Makeup TalkOnce a month, Makeupgeek posts an "Idea Gallery Roundup" of looks, most of which use Makeupgeek shadows (when other than Makeupgeek shadows are used, often comparable Makeupgeek dupes are listed). These are looks created by those who read Makeupgeek and purchase their products. For a complete listing of the "Idea Gallery Roundup" posts, go to: http://www.makeupgeek.com/category/idea-gallery-round-ups/ Once you click on a month, you can scroll down and view all the looks for that month, with a complete list of shadows used and where they are applied on the eyes for that look. These are closeup photos, so it should be easy for you to identify those looks used on models with similar eye and skincolor to your own. Insofar as a primer, have you considered using a cream eyeshadow in a pot (such as a MAC paint pot, or Maybelline Color Tattoo) or cream eyeshadow crayon (like Milani's Shadow Eyez 12 HR Wear Eyeshadow Pencil in Almond Cream) instead? Once applied, these dry and will form a barrier of sorts between your skin and the powder eyeshadows you apply over them. Another bonus; because these are offered in colors similar to skintone, they also even out your lid color, making any shadows you apply over them more true to color.
How to make red eyeshadow work?
TwirlyGirly replied to Dalila's topic in Makeup TalkI used Google Images to search for red eyeshadow looks (http://tiny.cc/ywxmmx). Interesting ideas there!
Contour and highlight?
TwirlyGirly replied to Hunterdee's topic in Makeup TalkThank you so much for this! There are a couple of points I'd like to make in agreement. First, for anyone who uses a bronzer to contour; look at your bare face in a mirror in natural light. Turn your head from side to side, and look at the shadows that are created in the contours of your face. What color are those natural shadows? They aren't brown. They are a greyish taupe. THAT is why no bronzer will ever look natural when used as a contour product. Just as an FYI, NYX makes a powder blush in "Taupe" (http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-24-powder-blush.aspx) that can work well on many skintones as a contour, if..... ...you apply it correctly and don't use too much! (If you can see the product on your skin, your face will look dirty - then you have applied too much product). One of the most enlightening videos I've seen was one posted by Lisa Eldridge. It was quite a long time ago, so I don't recall specifically which video it was (I don't think the topic of the video was contouring and highlighting, though). In that video, I saw Lisa gently swirl her brush in the powder contour (which was a taupe shade), then holding the brush perpendicular to the back of her hand, she tapped the tip of the bristles on the back of her hand several times to remove the excess product. She then applied the powder to the areas she wished to define of one side of the model's face. She did not dip the brush again into the contour product compact - to get a bit more product on her brush when she needed it, she gently tapped it again on the back of her hand to pick up the "loose" powder that had been deposited there when she tapped off the excess product before beginning application. With the model's face turned to the side to which the product had been applied, you could NOT see the product on the skin at all. But, when the model turned to face the camera, it definitely appeared the side of her face to which the product had been applied had more defined contours than the side of the face to which the contour powder had not yet been applied. All of us need to learn not all products have to be noticeable after application to have the desired effect. In terms of highlight and contour, less is absolutely more.
Water PROOF foundation?
TwirlyGirly replied to charmwild151's topic in Makeup TalkIf I'm understanding you correctly, you say you sweat the most during that 45-minute period when you're dancing and running around, correct? If that's the case, could you perhaps try applying the Ben Nye Final Seal right before you begin that segment of your day (as opposed to right after you apply your makeup), to ensure it's "fresh" and has maximum "holding power"? I also agree with the suggestion to powder your bare skin prior to applying foundation, but in my experience, the TYPE of powder you use is really important. What works best for me (and others I have recommended this method to), is essentially a powder primer...a powder that only contains the main ingredients you'd find in a primer, but in powder form. In other words, not a talc-based powder, or a powder containing pigments, etc. I'm aware of two I can recommend. The first is e.l.f. Studio High Definition Powder in "Sheer" (http://www.eyeslipsface.com/studio/face/powder/high_definition_powder). It contains Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica, Tin Oxide, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, and Sodium Dehydroacetate - the Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone is a powder silicone which fills pores and fine lines, and the Silica absorbs moisture (the other ingredients are bulking agents and a preservative). The other is a product called "Wrinkle Blur" (http://www.makingcosmetics.com/Wrinkle-Blur_p_112.html). It contains Dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, and silica (essentially the same thing as the e.l.f. powder, but less expensive). Whichever one you choose, I would recommend you apply it liberally to your skin prior to foundaion application, let it sit a bit, then dust off the excess product before proceeding with your foundation. To use as a finishing powder as well, apply liberally, let sit, then dust off the excess. If possible, it might be a good idea (if you have the time to do it right before your "active" segment begins) to gently blot your face with blotting tissues, reapply the powder (either the e.l.f. HD or Wrinkle Blur), let it sit for a moment, dust off the excess, THEN spray with Ben Nye Final Seal. You could probably do this in 2-3 minutes (if you can take a quick break) right before you're "on." Hope this helps!
Love Sinful Colors! Just bought the color "Spitfire" (#1232) and it is pastel Radiant Orchid, for those of you who have embraced the Radiant Orchid color trend. Just lovely!
In my neck of the woods (Rhode Island), Milani is sold (for the most part) in CVS stores, while Jordana is sold at Walgreens. Typically, in Walgreens the Jordana display is on the counter at the beauty department checkout (not "on the wall," like the other brands). According to the Jordana website (http://www.jordanacosmetics.com/locations.aspx), Jordana products are sold at Duane Reade(?), Save Mart Supermarkets (?), Kmart, and Walgreens. You can also order directly from their website. I was perusing the internet trying to find a good article describing the difference between an eyeshadow primer and an eyeshadow base, and found THIS: http://accidentalbeauty.com/makeup/makeup-tips-tricks/eyeshadow-primers-vs-eyeshadow-bases/ I think it's an excellent article and it might help you narrow down what's offered and aid you in selecting a product that does what you want it to do. The ONLY part of the article I disagree with is: "If I wear a cheap eyeshadow without a base, it'll start to crease on me and the color will fade. If I wear a more pricey eyeshadow without a base (such as MAC, NARS, MUFE), I wont get creasing or dull color pay-off at all. So yes, your eyeshadows play a big part in all of this too. If you're using a cheap product without a good primer/base, expect cheap results." There are really good inexpensive eyeshadows offered in what we usually call "drugstore" brands <waves at the Wet n' Wild 8-pan palettes>. Likewise, there are some high end brands that have come out with some real duds. It's simply not true anymore that in terms of cosmetics, price always determines quality. The problem with both the Milani ShadowEyez and the Jordana 12 Hour Made to Last pencils is both products dry. Once you've applied them to your lid, you've got enough time to smudge/spread them, but they do not remain sticky like an eyeshadow base would (think NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk - which has become a cult favorite). So, while both the Milani and Jordana pencils will help with creasing and with "neutralizing" the color of your skin to make any powder shadow you apply over them more "true", neither product will adhere the powder shadow to your lid in the same way a sticky base would.
Could you explain what you mean when you say "it's awful and does nothing"? I ask because it would be easier to recommend something more to your liking if we knew exactly what you didn't like about the Milani Shadow Eyez 12 Hour Wear eye pencil in Winter White. Unless what you didn't like about it was the color/finish itself, then chances are you won't like any of the other colors, either, because they all utilize the same formula except for the pigments. Jordana and Milani are related companies, and Jordana released 12 Hour Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencils, and surprise! Those pencils use the *exact* same formula as the Milani pencils. However, the Milani ShadowEyez Winter White pencil is a pearl finish, isn't it? Is the problem you're not getting even coverage with the Milani pencil because it's pearl? If that's the case, then you might want to try the Jordana 12 Hour Made to Last Pencil in Eternal White, because it's a matte white instead of pearl. Also, both Milani and Jordana make the almond shade (Milani is "Almond Cream" and Jordana, "Continuous Almond". Both are matte finish. Just trying to save you some money in your quest to find a base that works for you. If the Milani pencils aren't your thing, and you happen upon the Jordana pencils somewhere, know they're the Milani pencils in a Jordana package (but retail for 3.00 less per pencil than the Milani version).
Alternative to eyeshadow primer?
TwirlyGirly replied to CarrieS's topic in Makeup TalkYep! Milani and Jordana are related companies, and I just discovered the new Jordana 12 HR Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencils are the exact same product (identical formula) as the Milani ShadowEyez. Not only that, they're less expensive ([email protected], [email protected]). The Jordana colors duplicate the Milani shades, so you can get both matte white and almond. They dry to a waterproof/creaseproof finish, but they are creamy enough so that you do have enough time to spread/smudge them all over your lid, if you're using them in place of a primer. Highly recommended!
Dealing with shiny skin throughout the day!
TwirlyGirly replied to JessieK20's topic in Makeup TalkSince you don't want to wear any makeup on your face per se, I would recommeng using silica powder. Silica is a substance that absorbs moisture and oil. What you want is pure silica powder - nothing else added. It will apply on your skin clear. NYX now makes a pure silica powder: http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-169-studio-finishing-powder.aspx I think it will do what you want, and what's nice is that you'll be able to reapply it during the day if necessary and it won't look cakey (always blot before reapplying). Oh, and BTW....good for you for still using a moisturizer! Moisture (water) and oil are two entirely different things (many women who have oily skin think they don't need moisturizer. Wrong!). Moisturizers do not add moisture to the skin (moisture has to come from within, hence the "drink 8 glasses of water per day" rule). Moisturizer helps to slow the evaporation of moisture from the skin. So, it's always best to apply moisturizer to damp skin. If you have oily skin, look for 'noncomedogenic' or 'nonacnegenic' moisturizers, not necessarily those labeled "oil-free". The problem with products labeled "oil free" is that they CAN contain synthetic oils, just not natural oils. So always read your ingredient labels and know what you're buying.
I think the difference in the quality between high and low-end cosmetics has narrowed considerably in the past three decades or so. I remember when I first began working for a major corporation (and was finally earning a living wage), a friend took me into a department store and introduced me to Borghese cosmetics (yep - dating myself there!). I bought the Borghese foundation, powder, blush, two eyeshadow duos, lipstick - the works. Prior to that I had only used "drugstore" brands exclusively. Fast forward a couple of months, I was at work one day and the guy sitting next to me looked at me and said "You use really expensive makeup, don't you?" and I told him yes, I use Borghese exclusively. He replied "You can tell. Your makeup never looks 'cheap'." Back then, there was a much bigger difference between the quality (texture, pigmentation, etc) and also the colors offered between the high-end and low-end brands. I recall drugstore makeup (especially eyeshadow) was often dry and chalky, the colors more garish, and as for finishes it was usually a choice between matte and SUPER frosty. Cosmetics companies have come a long way since those days. Not only can you find high quality cosmetics at reasonable prices, but paying high prices is no longer a guarantee you'll get a quality product (I'm thinking specifically of all the bad reviews I've read of late of some of the recent releases of MAC eyeshadows). I think most companies, whether high-end, low-end, or masstige, offer some products that perform really well, some that are so-so, and some that are just terrible. So consumers can't just base their decisions on price alone anymore.

Every week, we ask some of the best game development minds five questions in a feature we are calling Develop:Five. This week, John Campbell from Triangular Pixels answers our five question blog feature.
1. The earliest game I have a clear memory of playing was Lord Of The Orb, a game for the Atari 800. Looking back it borrows a lot from pacman as you avoid monsters in a maze, but what makes it really stand out for me is the haunting music and sounds. It's a great example of how even primitive music can completely change the tone and feel of a game.

With over eleven years of development experience on a variety of PlayStation hardware and VR devices, John works at the bleeding edge new platforms solving the tough technical challenges VR brings.

(Togo First) - All banks operating in Togo should soon each have their tax and customs e-payment platforms. It was disclosed by the Togolese Revenue Office (OTR) on December 4, 2019, after a meeting gathering all heads of the lenders.
Through the move, the OTR and its partners will ease the online payment of taxes by medium and large companies.
Let's recall that the reform has already been implemented at Ecobank Togo (during its pilot stage), Union Togolaise de Banque (UTB), and Banque Togolaise pour le Commerce et l'Industrie (BTCI).
It is part of a battery of initiatives aimed at improving Togo's "Paying Taxes" indicator on the Doing Business report. Another example of these is tax payment via mobile money, which was recently validated by the OTR.

Amazon Increasingly Used for Search, Survey Says
According to a recent consumer study from BloomReach, U.S. shoppers now are treating Amazon more like a search engine, with 87 percent of consumers indicating they will "comparison shop" on Amazon.
Many U.S. customers, in fact, see Amazon's product-searching capabilities as better than search engines, specifically Google, according to BloomReach. While 53 percent said that that they found Google and Amazon to be equivalent, 39 percent said that Amazon was better while only 8 percent said Google was better.
"Probably the top advantage that Amazon has is its resources," BloomReach Head of Marketing and Partnerships Joelle Kaufman said. "Amazon has massive amounts of proprietary search and consumer-purchase data to apply its significant algorithmic intelligence for personalized search."
BloomReach also asked shoppers why they continued to choose Amazon over other retailers. The top reason, perhaps surprisingly, had nothing to do with price.
Approximately 43 percent of U.S. shoppers said the main reason was Amazon's ability to intuitively find or predict exactly what they want faster, whereas only one in three (33 percent) said better prices were the main reason.
The survey also found that retailers' attempts to bring in customers with discounts and sales seem to be less successful these days, as traditional shopping periods are changing and consumers are relying less on these blockbuster deals.
Half of shoppers plan to shop for gifts after Christmas as many think that retailers don't offer the best deals until after the holiday. Thirty-one percent also indicated that they were going to start their shopping before Black Friday weekend.
BloomReach also suggested that there is some "consumer fatigue" and mistrust that retailers aren't offering their best prices during the holiday sales weekends anyway.
What will work, the group suggested, is focusing more on omnichannel strategies and saving time for the shopper. When it comes to digital retailing, consumers' top frustration is irrelevant search results on a site, followed by poor product descriptions.
About 61 percent of shoppers said they would only try twice to search for a product on a retailer's site before giving up, and 56 percent said they expect a retail site to have an auto-complete search functionality.

Dear X,
I thought If I wrote you a love letter
It would make it all feel better
If I could put you into phrases
And list down all the phases
Of how your Moon orbited around my Earth
How from since birth
You never let me forget about my lack of privilege
You never let me forget about finding a means to an end
You never let me forget about the importance of a village
You never let me forget about the meaning of a true friend
Because in order for me to love you
I gotta love the ugly, the jaded, the faded, the hated
I gotta love the beauty, the power, the sweet and the sour
I gotta love the fact that you broke me down
Held me in low and dark places
Had me on trial with tough cases
I gotta love the fact that you always threw curve balls
You made me bump into walls
You scarred all my trips and falls
I wear the marks on my body.
Because In order for me to love you
I gotta love the fact that you also built me up
You showed me strength and survival
Delivered me through spiritual revivals
You taught me how to fight against my rivals
You allowed me to break my own cycle.
Through you, I have experienced the most intense joy and the most shallow sorrows
Through you, I've witnessed the magnitude of prayers for better tomorrows
Through you, I have so many beautiful memories that will make me smile until the day I die
Through you, I also have all those painful memories that I'll keep burying inside-
It's not that you make me want to hide
It's not that I'm afraid of your side-
Despite all the shit
I still rep you with pride
I cross my arms into an X
Because you're always gonna be that "X" factor
The pandora's box that stores all of my secrets like a malefactor
The place that simultaneously gives me a warm feeling and a pit in my gut
The same place that sheltered me during my ruts
You're the place that I often call back on for inspiration
The place that will always have my appreciation...
So I wrote you this love letter
Because even though I'm still struggling-
The acknowledgement already made me feel better
So here it goes...
I. Love. You.
For sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my, my, my, my all
I've given you my all
Because I
I love you....
I hate you. But I love you.
Always gonna love you.
X's up.
X is for hug
X marks the spot
The X is thug
The X is hot
The X is home
The X is the BRONX!
Boogie forever.
