Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you."

MaddAddam by Margaret Atwood: Review
In MaddAddam, the final novel in Atwood's trilogy that included Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood, Atwood spins the plot as elegantly as a tapestry
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 4 photoszoom
Margaret Atwood's new novel, MaddAddam, concludes the trilogy she began in 2003 with Oryx and Crake and ties up the many plots and themes that continued through The Year of the Flood, published in 2009.
MaddAddam is, consequently, the most complex of her three novels about the devastation of life on Earth and the surprising rebirth that follows. At the beginning of the book Atwood includes two little synopses of the previous volumes, helping the reader chart the complicated genealogies of the related plots and characters.
It was a delightto get reacquainted with characters such as Jimmy the Snowman, Zeb and Toby, humans who have survived the Waterless Flood, a pandemic that has afflicted the world.
Whether one calls Atwood's trilogy science fiction or speculative fiction, as she prefers, her engrossing style makes either label seem irrelevant. The MaddAddam plot is spun as elegantly as a tapestry by Penelope, a character Atwood borrowed from Homer in her previous fictional work, The Penelopiad.
But the principal mythology here is biblical rather than Homeric. At the core is the struggle for a new genesis, required by the consequences of man recklessly playing god.
The theme of environmental degradation, the risk to the future of animals, plants and human beings, has been one Atwood has explored from the beginning of her writing career. It is not surprising that it has been offered again, this time projected into the future and, in MaddAddam, her most political iteration on the subject yet.
Megacompanies such as CorpSeCorps pull the power levers and there is no functioning government.
Beyond what little recognizable life is left are genetically engineered animals such as pigoons, wolvogs and rakunks, and creatures called Crakers who are childlike and constantly willing to please.
Toby, the heroine of MaddAddam, had rarely seen the quasi-human Crakers until she notices them one evening gleaming in the moonlight. The Crakers are bioengineered creatures, so innocent of their own sexuality that the adult males say hello by wagging their "bright blue and unnaturally large penises," from side to side like pet dogs.
Juxtaposed to those enviable beings and the gorgeous Mo'Hairs, animals with glowing locks that can be transplanted onto bald scalps, are the Painballers, vicious killers who have escaped from gladiatorial arenas and now roam the earth with murderous intent.
MaddAddam, like the other books in the trilogy, is full of wordplay and broad satire. This is a world where free markets have created global anarchy, first destroying government, then communities and, finally, putting all life on the planet at risk.
Science has become a slave of commerce and commerce is, in turn, the servant of limitless greed and unchecked exploitation of human frailty.
But despite the chaos that threatens to destroy life, love survives. For the concluding novel is, above all, a story of the growing bond between the ever patient Toby and Zeb, the fearless knight searching for human survivors of the Waterless Flood.
The couple plays a crucial role in the hope of the new genesis. We are grateful for the romance, for all the wild puns and the more comic elements of the dark satire.
After all, Atwood's trilogy may be done, but we readers still must summon the energy, imagination and good humour not to create the dystopian calamities she foretells.

NEW DELHI India's main opposition, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said it would push on with the country's drive to expand its grain exports if it forms the next government after elections that kicked off last week.
Since export restrictions were eased three years ago, India has emerged as the world's top rice exporter and a key supplier of wheat to Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
Some grain traders had speculated that export policy could change if the BJP ousted the ruling Congress party-led government, but a senior BJP official sought to allay those concerns.
"We favour building the Indian grain brand globally and that would need consistency in export policy," said Satpal Malik, the BJP vice-president in charge of drafting the farm policy section of the party's election manifesto.
Opinion polls show the BJP will win the most lower-house seats, putting its candidate for prime minister, Narendra Modi, in pole position to form the next government in the world's No.2 producer of grains.
Results of the five-week general election are due in mid-May.
The current Congress-led government has conducted extensive purchases of wheat to support farmers, typically taking 25-30 million tonnes per year - or around a third of the annual crop.
But with the floor of $260 per tonne for government buying below the price Indian wheat can now fetch on international markets, exports have been profitable for state-run traders.
In a tender last Friday, Indian state traders fetched prices of as much as $285 per tonne for shipments to be made in May.
Although a defeat for the current government would bring shifts in an array of policies ranging from national security to the sale of state businesses, grain exports would be an area of continuity.
"It's ridiculous to think that every policy of the previous regime would be reversed after we come to power," said Malik, a former government minister.
Repeated bumper harvests due to ample monsoon rains have led grain stocks to pile up. At the start of the new fiscal year on April 1, rice and wheat stocks were 38 million tonnes, more than double the target of 16 million tonnes.
Malik said keeping the export window open would ensure better prices for local growers and, helping cut the fiscal burden of 1.15 trillion rupees ($19 billion) arising from food subsidies.
The BJP plans to roll out a programme to boost farm efficiency that Modi has championed in his home state of Gujarat. The system involves issuing cards to farmers recording soil properties such as productivity, mineral mix, water capacity and salinity.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
11 Jun 2013 13:28 GMT | Human Rights, Sport, United Kingdom
English champion racehorse trainer Henry Cecil, who triumphed a record 75 times at Royal Ascot, died of cancer on Tuesday at the age of 70.
A statement on Cecil's website said Warren Place Stables, where he worked as a trainer for 44 years, 'confirms the passing of Sir Henry Cecil earlier this morning.'Cecil was champion trainer in Britain 10 times and trained one of racing's greatest horses, Frankel, who was retired last year after winning all 14 of his races with almost $4.66 million in earnings.
I cannot believe in the history of horse racing that there has ever been a better racehorse
Henry Cecil , Horse trainer
The colt was named after American trainer Robert 'Bobby' Frankel, who also died of cancer in 2009.
An elegant and eloquent presence, even though gaunt and with his voice reduced to a whisper by bouts of chemotherapy towards the end, Cecil spoke movingly last year of how Frankel had helped to sustain him in his fight against stomach cancer.
"I cannot believe in the history of horse racing that there has ever been a better racehorse," he said.
The popular Cecil, who hailed from an aristocratic background and started his racing career as an assistant to his stepfather, was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2006.After capturing his first classic winner at the 2,000 Guineas with Bolkonski in 1975, he trained four Derby winners and the same number of winners in the St. Leger.
"Following communication with the British Horseracing Authority, temporary licence will be allocated to Lady Cecil," the statement on Cecil's website read."
"No further update is anticipated this afternoon."
British horse racing commentator Clare Balding expressed her condolences on Twitter: "Just heard the news that Sir Henry Cecil has died. So so sad. He was one of the true greats and a gentleman. Frankel his crowning glory #RIP."
Source: Agencies
After retiring in October, unbeaten stallion Frankel will command a fee of $198,600 for his magic seed at stud.

Makeup & Skincare
Why make time to prime? There's got to be good reason - Napoleon Perdis built an empire on makeup primers, sells seven types and is planning an eighth - but I've always thought them a waste of time.
With serum, moisturiser and sunscreen surely my face can't take another layer? And doesn't my new beauty crush, BB cream, negate the need for surface preparation?
Seems not. I've been converted.
Not by the cosmetic companies which are relentless with their primer promotions now that it's party season, nor by Napoleon.
Mum's got me priming. With the less prestigious sample of them all.
''It makes your skin like a mirror - your foundation just glides on,'' says Mum. She just loves Covergirl and Olay Simply Ageless Serum Primer.
Smoothing the complexion is one of the primary roles of primers, according to Leslie Graham, of Jane Iredale Australia.
''They help the makeup glide on more easily for seamless blending, leaving the skin perfectly smooth for that flawless finish we are all after,'' she says.
"They help makeup last longer by providing a barrier between the skin and the makeup. They not only minimise the size of your pores but they actually act as a pore refiner and provide the appearance of softer lines on the face. The result is a more refined look to the skin.''
Things are never simple. Not even primers.
Where once there was basically one - Napoleon Perdis Autopilot, which is still going strong - now there is one for every skin type and ambition.
Jane Iredale offers two: Smooth Affair for dry skin and Absence for oily skin.
In May Estee Lauder also launched two: Illuminating Perfecting and Matte Perfecting which do as their names suggest. Two very different functions. I am now known to use both at the same time.
Good one-stop primers are Time Balm Primer and Dermalogica Skinperfect Primer SPF30, which is so perfecting it can be worn alone.
Sisley doesn't call it a primer but it is. Instant Perfect holds makeup, particularly in the oilier T-zone areas, and can be used for seamless touch-ups.
But Napoleon remains the emperor of primers. He's got them for everything: to fill in pores, to bronze, to soothe and to better take eye makeup.
Do you think primers are they worth using? What lies beneath your foundation if not a primer?

FARMINGTON, Conn., Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Supercapacitors are a curiously neglected aspect of electronics and electrical engineering with a multi-billion dollar market rapidly emerging. Supercapacitors, sometimes called ultracapacitors, are electrostatic, not electrochemical devices. Unlike batteries, they can be fully discharged for transport and maintenance. Their behavior is more predictable and they are more tolerant of faults and damage. In the past, they have been little used because they are expensive and they hold one tenth of the electricity per unit of volume or weight.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130213/CG59022)
Greener, safer versions of supercapacitors are now offered by nearly 50% of suppliers and they are less inferior in performance. Indeed in some respects they have improved performance over traditional supercapacitors. These use more benign organic or inorganic solvents or they use ionic liquids where there is no solvent and solute.
Little wonder that the leaders in supercapacitors are growing sales at 30% yearly nowadays. Supercapacitors are improving much faster than lithium-ion batteries and their marketing is now more imaginative, many applications not involving batteries being opened up. The future of supercapacitors may involve rivaling the size of the lithium-ion battery market within twenty years particularly as use in vehicles and grid applications take off.
The bottom line is that almost everywhere you see next generation electronic and power technology you see supercapacitors and supercabatteries being fitted or planned because of superior performance, cost-over-life and fit-and-forget.
Global Information (GII) presents the highlights from three significant market research reports cover the supercapacitor market.
Supercapacitor / Ultracapacitor Strategies and Emerging Applications 2013-2025
Many more supercapacitor variants are now available. There is now almost a continuum of devices between conventional electrolytic capacitors and rechargeable batteries as we explain in the report. The analysis of 78 supercapacitor manufacturers and putative manufacturers in this report reveals, for example, how battery manufacturers and conventional capacitor manufacturers are entering the business of devices intermediate between the two. However, rather surprisingly, most of the intermediate devices are developed and manufactured by companies not in either conventional capacitors or batteries.
Free sample pages from the full document are available at http://www.giiresearch.com/report/ix252866-supercapacitor-ultracapacitor-strategies-emerging.html
Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors: Supercapacitors 2013-2023
55% of the manufacturers and intending manufacturers of supercapacitors/supercabatteries (EDLC, AEDLC) are in East Asia, 28% are in North America but Europe is fast asleep at only 7%. Yet, being used for an increasing number of purposes in electric vehicles, mobile phones, energy harvesting, renewable energy and other products of the future, the supercapacitor market is expected to surpass $11 billion in ten years with considerable upside potential.

Batteries and Supercapacitors for the Smart Grid -2013
The grid storage market will reach $6.1 billion by 2018 making energy storage one of the fastest growing opportunities in the smart grid industry. Supercapacitors will become integral to grid storage, as costs go down and capacities increase.
By 2018, supercaps will generate $1.1 billion in revenues from grid-storage, especially regenerative braking on grid-attached light rail and frequency regulation. Here supercaps can result in a 30% reduction in electrical costs. The long lifetimes and near-zero maintenance for supercapacitors make them attractive for such applications. Supercaps will improve performance with new materials; including nano-structured metal oxides, perovoskites, nanotubes and graphene increasing capacity 5-10 times compared to activated-carbon supercapacitors.
The default option for grid batteries today is lead-acid, accounting for more than 55% of revenues from grid batteries currently. By 2018, this share will decline to around 30% as new grid battery technologies become commercialized. The lead-acid battery will itself get an upgrade; carbon electrodes, promising a 4x performance improvement. In addition, the ultrabattery, with combination lead/carbon electrodes will compete for grid-storage markets. In 2018, lead-carbon batteries/ultrabatteries will generate around $300 million in revenues.
Grid storage for remote locations, microgrids and cell phone towers are already economically viable. This is driving demand for lead-acid and Zebra (sodium-nickel-chloride) batteries. Another wave of storage deployment is about to occur on the customer side of the meter for power-quality, peak-shaving and grid-stability applications creating demand for flow and lithium-ion batteries. During this second wave the penetration of renewables will rise above 20%, making grid storage necessary to stabilize the grid because of intermittent generation. A final wave of grid storage is expected for retail peak shifting applications.
Although lithium-ion batteries are receiving considerable attention, it is immature and high cost and its current growth relies on government subsidies. When subsidies disappear, sodium-sulfur and Zebra batteries will be a better deal for power companies and large end users than lithium-ion. The best hope for lithium batteries is where a supplier who is committed to lithium sells it as part of a comprehensive solution such as for smart buildings. Jonson Controls and SAFT are doing this. Revenues from lithium batteries are expected to reach $775 million by 2018.
This report provides analysis of worldwide grid-storage markets products including lead-acid, lead-carbon, lithium-ion, sodium-sulfur, sodium-nickel-chloride, and flow batteries, along with ultrabatteries and supercapacitors. Retail, wholesale and microgrid opportunities are covered, along with how frequency regulation, regenerative energy capture and renewable power integration, will impact demand for grid storage.
Companies discussed include: Advanced Battery, Altair, Ambri, Aquion, Axion, Boston Power, C&D , Cellennium, Cellstrom, China BAK, China Ritar Power, Cobasys, Deeya Energy, Ecoult, Energ2, Enersys, Exide, Fiamm Sonik, Firefly, Sonik, GE, GeoBattery, Hitachi, Johnson Controls, Kyushu Electric, Maxwell, Mitsubishi, NEC, Nesscap, Nexeon, Navitas, NGK, Panasonic/Sanyo, Premium Power, Prudent Energy, REDT, Revolt, SAFT, Siemens, Sumitomo, TEPCO, Ultralife, V-Fuel, Wanxiang and ZBB

Back in 2000, when Frederick Schilling concocted Dagoba Organic Chocolate in Central Point, Ore., he faced a choice: He could buy the cheapest possible electricity to make his organic chocolate bars containing hazelnuts, pecans, and berries, or he could pay 20% extra to have the local utility pump him energy derived from renewable sources, such as sun and wind.
Most small-business owners count every penny, making this a no-brainer: Go with the cheapie. But Schilling, a long-time environmentalist who wraps his bars in recycled paper, went with his principles. That turned out to be a major ingredient in his sweet (or bitter, if you like dark chocolate) success.
Last year, unit sales of his 16 different kinds of chocolate bars, sold nationwide in stores like Whole Foods (WFMI), jumped nearly 400%. Schilling attributes some of that success to his belief that "our customer base appreciates that we're using alternative energy. It works as a marketing point."
ANTI-STATUS SYMBOL. Not too long ago, it would have seemed absurd to suggest that people would pay more for products produced with alternative energy. That this notion no longer seems so odd reflects how the quickly maturing world of alternative energy has moved from the fringe to the mainstream. Nearly everyone is an environmentalist now -- it's just a question of what kind. National public opinion polls show that 75% of U.S. residents support increased use of renewable energy.
The public, long infatuated with gas-guzzling SUVs, has a growing crush on alternative cars. Thanks to rising concerns about greenhouse gases and global warming -- and not incidentally, fuel economy -- Toyota's (TM) new hybrid gas-electric Prius has become a Hollywood anti-status symbol, driven by stars like Tom Hanks and Leonardo DeCaprio.
Ford (F) is convinced it can sell 20,000 of its new hybrid Escape SUV annually. And this fall, General Motors (GM) will start selling its the first hybrid pickup. As an extra incentive to buy hybrid vehicles, environmentally minded consumers get tax credits -- $1,500 from the federal government, plus as much as $5,000 from certain states. Registrations of hybrid vehicles were up 25.8% in 2003, to 43,435, according to automotive consultancy R.L. Polk & Co.
"THE TIPPING POINT." Well beyond leaner, cleaner cars, renewable energy is one of the world's great growth businesses. Power from sources such as the sun, wind, and fuel cells has grown from a $9.5 billion global industry in 2002 to $12.9 billion in 2003, according to research consultancy Clean Edge. The firm expects the market to reach $92 billion worldwide by 2013. "These are no longer alternative technologies," says Ron Pernick, co-founder of Clean Edge. "We are at the tipping point."
That huge business opportunity is making venture capitalists see green. In the first half of 2004, $76 million in VC investments were pumped into alternative energy, nearly double the amount in all of 2003, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers' MoneyTree Survey. Venture-capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson has poured more than $20 million into alternative energy startups since 2002. "We are seeing the same ramp-up as we've seen with the Web," says Draper Managing Director Raj Atluri.
Multinational corporations, from carmakers to oil companies, are tripping over each other in the race to the great, green future. British Petroleum (BP) has practically rebranded itself as an alternative energy company. BP's new logo, a cheery-looking sun surrounded by green rays, is plastered across streets and highways around the world, and it's not just clever PR. Oil and gas heavyweight Shell (SC) expects renewable sources -- including solar, wind, hydrogen and biofuels -- to account for a quarter to a third of world energy by 2050.
EVER MORE IMPORTANT. Investments in alternative energy are turning out to be a great business. General Electric (GE) acquired Enron's wind-power business in 2002. And it entered the solar energy business in April, 2004, by purchasing AstroPower, the nation's largest solar-equipment supplier. Both companies have been growing at a double-digit annual rate, while GE's total sales rose only 1% last year.
Shell says its investments in alternative energy could hit $1 billion by 2005. "We see that those technologies are on a very fast trajectory," says Robert Kleiburg, vice-president for strategy and planning for renewable sources of energy and hydrogen at Shell in the Hague, Netherlands. "They'll soon be an order of magnitude or more important than they are today."
Such forecasts have been made since the first Earth Day celebration in 1970, and they've never quite panned out. More people than ever are driving SUVs, the least energy-efficient passenger vehicle on the roads today. And an earth-toned wardrobe did little to help Al Gore's Presidential campaign in 2000. And yet, there's reason to believe that alternative energy really is taking off this time.
HICCUP TO DISASTER. Thanks to a combination of high energy prices and geopolitical risks, alternative energy has moved toward the top of the national agenda. Oil has hit a record $51 a barrel, up from $30 a year ago. Pushing crude ever higher are factors ranging from war, terror, and sabotage in the Middle East, to instability in oil-producing Russia and Nigeria, to rocketing demand in China.
Existing wells are working at 98% of capacity, says Jim Williams, an economist at energy consultancy WTRG Economics in London, Ark. A tiny production hiccup in an oil-exporting nation now has the potential to push the U.S. into a recession.
But the shift away from oil is driven by forces that run even deeper than the pressing geopolitical issues of the day. Simply put, oil and gas are natural resources that will be depleted -- sooner rather than later. While estimates vary, Shell figures that oil and gas could start becoming scarce as early as 2025. That's not so far off.
BETTER AND CHEAPER. Already, energy customers appear more willing to give alternatives a chance. Lots of small businesses like Dagoba's are ponying up more for clean energy. Delivery service United Parcel Service (UPS) is testing several hybrid cars, which run partly on electricity and are up to 50% more efficient that its current vehicles. "By using less fuel, we'd still be able to operate if something were to happen to the oil supply," says Robert Hall, fleet environmental manager with UPS in Atlanta.
As the oil industry faces a inevitably dwindling future, alternative energy is getting better and cheaper all the time.
Take solar energy, which is now hotter than a glass panel on a south-facing roof. "We've never experienced the demand we're experiencing today," says Ron Kenedi, general manager of Sharp Electronics' (SHCAY) solar-systems division. "This is unprecedented." As sales rise at 30% to 40% a year, Sharp plans to expand its Memphis fabricating plant to produce 40 megawatts to 60 Mw worth of solar panels a year. That will boost the capacity of the U.S. solar market, which is now only 90 Mw per year
STARTUP KNOWHOW. In the past, builders have hesitated to install solar panels onto residential roofs because they clash with aesthetic considerations mandated by many municipalities. But in six months, Sharp will release solar tiles that fit the exact dimensions of a roof, making them less conspicuous. (Today, a solar roof would often exceed a traditional roof's dimensions.)
The cost is going down as well: GE Solar is aiming, by the end of the decade, to get solar panels down from today's $6 to $8 per watt installed to $3 by improving materials and system designs, says Ali Iz, who heads GE Energy's solar business.
Startups, which have been tech innovators for generations, are also applying their knowhow to the energy field. Konarka Technologies plans to make solar panels that will cost less than $1 per watt. It has raised its third round of funding. Konarka's $18 million offering was oversubscribed. "[Energy security] isn't a problem that's going to go away in 30 days," says Konarka CEO Howard Berke.
JOB GENERATOR? Proponents argue that green energy could have a huge positive effect on the economy. Democratic Presidential nominee Senator John Kerry says he wants to ensure that 20% of U.S. energy comes from alternative sources by 2020, up from a current federal standard of zero. That could create more than 355,000 additional jobs by 2020, net of any losses in the coal industry, estimates Jeff Deyette, energy analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists in Boston.
That goal may look steep, but some states are already working toward it. Governer Arnold Schwarzenegger, for one, hopes to get California to the 20% mark by 2010. Maine already derives more than 30% of its energy from alternative sources. Hawaii aims to reach 20% by 2020, and Rhode Island is shooting for 16% by 2019.
The federal government is already investing in the development of fuel-cell technology, which can be used to power gasoline-free automobiles. If those investments continue at the current pace, America's oil consumption could drop by 11 million barrels a day by 2040, estimates Steve Chalk, director of the Office of Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Infrastructure Technologies at the Energy Dept. That would reduce the country's dependence on oil imports, he says.
To move beyond the petroleum-powered economy will take many years, if not decades. But as oil supplies wane and alternative technologies improves, a new era in energy is powering up. By Olga Kharif in Portland, Ore., and Steve Rosenbush in New York
