The Rainforest Alliance, an ethical certification organisation, has now stripped a group of Assam Company's plantations of its green frog seal. The Assam Company said the loss of its certification was because of a 'minor error' on one estate 'Hajua' while spraying a plant extract, which it understood did not require personal protective equipment. It said that because the Assam Company estates operate in a 'single cluster', the other estates were automatically decertified.

We have songs for different moods and different times of day, and to achieve different objectives. I write to Bach, I run to Martin Solveig, maybe you sort the recycling to Senagalese pop music or polish antique silverware to Nicky Minaj's Anaconda. The limitations of one song could never define even a single life, so the idea of trying to define a country with reference to just one song is laughably simplistic. Those calling for an English national anthem should give up now: it's a pointless, fruitless, unnecessary task.

Stripping terrorists of their citizenship is tempting for governments and satisfying for voters. It allays concerns that Jihadists may recruit and radicalise susceptible inmates while in prison, or that they might one day again roam France and wreak havoc. The symbolism that a person waging war against France is no longer French, is politically popular: three-quarters of French people support Mr. Hollande's proposal, according to a recent poll. Yet many on France's left see it differently. They say that the planned law could foment radicalisation by sending the message to dual-citizen Muslims that they are less French than the rest of society and, by creating unequal categories of citizenship, betray the cherished 'egalite' enshrined in France's constitution.

But there are solid reasons why the world has now convinced itself that oil is worth much less than before. On one side of the ledger there is supply, not only of oil itself, but also of the other fossil fuels which can often substitute for it, notably gas, which is more abundant than anyone would have imagined a few years ago, courtesy of the fracking boom. On the demand side, things have been developing even more rapidly, with a serious slowdown in the resource-intensive emerging economies, above all debt-laden China. The fracking revolution will not be reversed, and it increasingly looks like the Chinese Flu will be hard to shake. All of which suggests that low oil prices could be here for a while. _____

Today we know much more about how and why HIV the virus that leads to AIDS has become a global pandemic. Unsurprisingly, sex workers unwillingly played a part. But no less important were the roles of trade, the collapse of colonialism and twentieth-century sociopolitical reform. _____

Surprisingly, it works. Repeating myself afterwards minus the cups I sound even more convincing about the specifics of my fish-and-chip dinner than I did the first time round. The cups device is just one of the many exercises taught in City Academy's 'How to Get Heard in Meetings' course, which, while open to anyone, is being marketed as an especially female-friendly way to apply performance techniques to everyday scenarios. Women have long struggled to make themselves heard in the workplace. In 2014, Harvard Business Review reported that 'we have consistently heard women say that they feel less effective in meetings than they do in other business situations. Some say that their voices are ignored or drowned out. Others tell us that they can't find a way into the conversation. In fact, several men reported seeing a female colleague get rattled or remain silent even when she was the expert at the table'. _____

In a commentary, the Vatican daily Osservatore Roma-no said treatment of this kind towards religion 'is not new' and stressed that religious figures have repeatedly condemned violence in the name of God. 'Behind the deceptive flag of uncompromising secularism, the weekly is forgetting once more what religious leaders of every faith unceasingly repeat to reject violence in the name of religion using God to justify hatred is a genuine blasphemy, as pope Francis has said several times', it said. The commentary added: 'In Charlie Hebdo's choice, there is the sad paradox of a world which is more and more sensitive about being politically correct, almost to the point of ridicule, yet does not wish to acknowledge or to respect believers' faith in God, regardless of the religion'. _____

University of Oregon's Lundquist College of Business and his co-authors compared the effective tax rates paid by a sample of American firms between 2002 and 2011 with a measure of those companies' CSR programmes compiled by MSCI, an index provider. It found that the companies which do the most CSR also make the most strenuous efforts to avoid paying tax-and that those with a high CSR score also spend more lobbying on tax. The most obvious explanation for this inverse relationship is hypocrisy. Surely CSR depends on the idea that firms have an obligation to society, not just to shareholders. And surely the most basic obligation to society is to pay the taxes that support the poor and vulnerable. Another explanation is that firms are not monoliths but collections of rival fiefs with different priorities. The department that oversees the CSR programmes, and thus has an interest in boosting their budgets, may never talk to those in the finance department who are paid to minimise the tax bill. _____

The concept of the modern, open democracy that embraces freedom, diversity and human rights is under threat. We live in a time of conflict unlike any other. A war is under way that is not just being fought out on conventional battlefields among state powers, but on the Internet and the streets of our towns and cities, as the citizens of Paris found to a shocking cost in November. _____
