Critics have accused the Republican electorate in recent years of putting a higher premium on ideological purity than on policy knowledge.
But the success of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the current presidential primary fight tells a much different story. It’s a story of an electorate that is placing a high premium on candidates’ ability to appear knowledgeable and articulate on the issues, giving these factors an even higher level of importance than ideological consistency.
When Texas Gov. Rick Perry entered the race in August, he quickly vaulted to the top of the pack. But after a string of flubs and deer-in-the-headlights moments during the debates, he dropped like a rock. Perry attempted to play the anti-establishment card to contain the damage done by his debate performances, but the Republican electorate, thus far, has been unforgiving.
Herman Cain was the beneficiary of Perry’s collapse. His support surged in the early fall, but has since started to decline. As he came under more scrutiny, he stumbled on questions about abortion, Libya and China — as well as being damaged by sexual harassment allegations.
So it is hard to see how Romney and Gingrich would be co-leaders of the Republican field if it weren’t for their strong debate performances and command of issues.
Romney has, at various points in his career, taken positions on abortion, immigration and gun control that many conservatives would find objectionable. He supported the Wall Street bailout and his biggest accomplishment as governor of Massachusetts was signing a big-government health care law with a smiling Ted Kennedy at his side. That law became the basis for Obamacare.
Gingrich, despite his protestations to the contrary, is the consummate Washington insider. As The Washington Examiner has detailed, he has a history of lobbying for big-government policies that benefit large corporations that give him money. Gingrich supported an individual mandate, pushed for the costly Medicare prescription drug plan while taking money from pharmaceutical companies and recorded a climate change ad with Rep. Nancy Pelosi.
Gingrich nearly sank his campaign earlier this year by charging that House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s Medicare plan was too “radical” during a key moment in the budget debate. And this doesn’t even get into his messy personal history.
But what Gingrich and Romney do have going for them is that in debate after debate, they’ve come across as articulate, quick on their feet and fluent about a wide range of policy issues. And those have proven highly prized qualities for a Republican electorate eager to defeat President Barack Obama.

Mascoma Corp. has started producing cellulosic ethanol from wood chips at a demonstration-scale plant in Rome, N.Y., the company announced Wednesday.
The Boston-based startup said the plant is expected to produce 200,000 gallons this year. The plant has opened a year behind its initial schedule after the site was switched from Rochester, N.Y. to Rome, and the company has downscaled its previous goal of producing 500,000 gallons at the facility..
Mascoma also continues to seek funding for a $250 million to $300 million, 40 million gallon-per-year plant in Michigan, despite the poor fundraising climate, spokeswoman Kate Casolaro said Wednesday.
The company has secured $26 million from the Department of Energy and $23.5 million from the state of Michigan to build the plant in Michigan's Chippewa County, and has formed a company called Frontier Renewable Resources in partnership with timber and mining company JM Longyear to get it off the ground.
Frontier is "currently in fundraising mode" to secure the rest of the money needed to build the plant, and still hopes to break ground this year and open in late 2011 or early 2012, Casolaro said.
That would put Mascoma slightly behind schedule in the race for the country's first commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol plant (see Verenium Plans Cellulosic Ethanol Plant in Florida).
Broomfield, Colo.-based Range Fuels said in April it had raised $100 million to build a commercial scale plant in Georgia to make ethanol from wood waste, and said the plant's first phase of 20 million gallons per year would be complete this year.
Cambridge, Mass.-based Verenium (NSDQ: VRNM) said last month that it is aiming at 2011 to open a 36 million gallon-per-year plant expected to cost between $250 million and $300 million.
Coskata Inc. hoped to open a $100 million commercial-sized cellulosic ethanol plant by late 2010, though it has since said it might push back that timeline to 2011. The Warrenville, Ill.-based company and U.S. Sugar Corp. have said they plan to "explore" building a $400 million, 100 gallon-per-year plant in Florida.
And BlueFire Ethanol had hoped to start building a $130 million ethanol plant in Mecca, Calif. this year (see BlueFire Ethanol to Build $130M Plant in Mecca), but recently postponed those plans by six months, saying it had raised only about one-fifth of the plant's projected $100 million cost.
Cellulosic ethanol production hasn't grown as fast as the industry or the federal government had hoped it would. Investment firm ThinkEquity predicted in December that cellulosic ethanol companies will be able to supply only 28.5 million gallons by 2010, short of the federal government's 100 million gallon goal (see Consumers to Pick Up Tab for Off-Target Cellulosic Ethanol Industry).
Mascoma says its microbes can convert plant material like wood chips, tall grasses, corn stalks and sugar cane bagasse into sugar and thence into ethanol in one step, saving on expensive additives and enzymes used in other cellulose-to-ethanol processes.
It has raised about $100 million in equity investments and about $100 million in state and federal grants to date. That includes $61 million in a third round of funding in May, with General Motors and Marathon Oil in its roster of investors (see More Money for Mascoma).
But Mascoma's plans to take part in a University of Tennessee cellulosic ethanol project have faltered (see Mascoma to Play Smaller Role in Pilot Project).
Mascoma and the university originally planned to have a plant completed in 2009, producing up to five million gallons a year. But Mascoma withrew after the university reduced the scope of the project, Casolaro said. In July, Dupont Danisco took over as partner with the university on the project.
In November, Mascoma laid off five to 10 employees to save cash, CEO Bruce Jamerson said. The company now has 108 employees, Casolaro said.

This series started with the analogy of a U-turn.
Today, Strength Renewed reached the end of one road, and the beginning of another. It came to the end of the road to publication, and is slowly turning onto the road to sales and reviews.
Some weeks ago, my editor asked me to compile an influencer list for her. That was to include folk whom I especially wanted to get the gift of a free book, as well as people who would promote the book on Facebook, Twitter and their own websites, as well as posting reviews.
I was keen to have these go out as signed copies, but how to do that when I live in South Africa? My editor offered to arrange bookplates which she would send to me for signing. I could then return the signed copies to her, and she would put them in the books before they went out.
At the warehouse!
Two weeks ago, I heard from the managing editor of Baker that the books had arrived in the warehouse and she was sending me my first copy fast mail. The others included in my contract would follow. In the meantime, my husband and I had the opportunity of a wonderful two weeks away from home in an incredible setting, the Carmel Retreat Centre outside of George, about four hours from home.
In case the book plates or my first book arrived while I was away, I arranged for a neighbour to collect any mail that arrived at my residential address and to contact me in that event. I really didn’t think anything would come, as it usually takes a few weeks.
On their way
A couple of days after we arrived here, I heard from my editor. She had sent the book plates off fast mail-–to my P.O.Box address! And we had the key to the box on our car key-ring four hours from home!
Early the next morning, we rushed off to the post office here in George, and sent the key overnight mail to a friend in Port Elizabeth. I also had to send her a letter of authority to collect my mail, with an embedded copy of my drivers’ licence.
The next morning, she collected the key in Port Elizabeth, opened the box, got the package, and sent it off via overnight mail to the George post office.
Meantime back at the retreat center . . .
In the early hours of the next morning, my husband awoke in agony. I had to rush him to the hospital where he underwent numerous tests. In between visiting hours, I raced to the post office and collected the package.
I asked the post master how much it would cost me to express it to America. He looked taken aback, and told me it would cost hundreds of rands, and it would still take about a week. The next cheapest option would take 3-4 weeks, which was out of the question.
I flew out the post office on my way back to the hospital, wondering what on earth I was going to do. As I raced, I ripped open the parcel then stopped in disbelief. It looked just like my book!
Wait! It WAS my book!
“Oh no!” I exclaimed as I stared in frustration at the book. “It’s my book ! Not the book plates.” I shoved the book back in the package and continued my race to the car. A few moments later I stopped again.
“Wait! It is my book!” I pulled it out again, and stood in the mall examining it. What a strange mixture of emotions.
I had anticipated this moment to be one of extreme excitement, but here I was torn between joy and frustration.
That night I again wrote to my editor with a fresh suggestion, which she agreed to. The books are going out today, Monday. I emailed the influencers last night explaining the situation. As soon as the book plates get here, I will sign them, and send them off direct to the recipients. They can then stick them into their books themselves.
All things work together for good . . .
This actually has a number of advantages.
• The influencers will get their books sooner.
• I can include a few postcards and bookmarks for them.
• I can individualise the book plates with their names.
• It will cost a lot less!
Day by day developments
On Friday, I cancelled the order for a pre-ordered copy of the book to be expressed (at a price!) to me. The next morning, I went to Amazon to check a link, and noticed the book was now going to be available on Monday 17th September! Two weeks ahead of the expected date. Oh wow!
On Sunday, I looked again, and saw a notice to say there was only one book left—but there were more on order. Huh? It hadn’t yet been released, and it was almost sold out? I presume they must have filled the pre-orders. How strange.
I looked a short time ago (Monday), and they now have stock. It still says it’s due to be published on October 1, but you can get the book now if you wish.
In Southern Africa, the book will be released in about another month.
The end of the road to publication
As I said, Strength Renewed, Meditations for Your Journey through Breast Cancer is now onto another road. The signposts seem somewhat confusing right now, but praise the Lord, at least the book has reached the end of the road to publication!
I have a box of books on order from the South African suppliers, but they won’t come until November. Then my author copies are on their way from the States.
Please will you keep praying I have a supply in time for my Book Launch Celebration on 4th October? I told you last time I knew this would take a miracle. But hey! That’s been the story of this book’s journey thus far. One miracle after another.
Thank you for following along.
Do you have Strength Renewed yet? If not, you can preview the first chapters of this book, or purchase it direct from this page. Click on the relevant tabs below the image.
If you enjoy the book, I’d love it if you’d leave a book review on Amazon, Goodreads, or anywhere that stocks the book. Thank you!

December 15 Editorial
This month we take a look at what it will mean for Canada to become 100% cashless. It’s not nearly as daunting as some might think. As of now, about 54% of all monetary transactions are done with debit or credit cards, but extricating that final 44% will take a fair amount of time and money as well as a commitment from government, business and private citizens. Denmark is trying the all-cashless approach as of this January, with Norway and Sweden expected to follow suit. It will be interesting to see what growing pains they encounter, if any.
An economic tale of two provinces: one good, the other not so much. Quebec Finance Minister Carlos Leitao says the country’s secondlargest province is on track for a balanced budget by next year. Canada’s largest province is mired in a financial mess, and evidently it’s not going to get better any time soon. Queen’s Park is projecting that its deficit for next year will be $7.5 billion. Despite that grim figure, the Liberal government maintains it can eliminate the deficit by 2017-18.
It’s rather incredible how Tim Hortons can be so successful here in Canada and be met with such mixed financial returns in some parts of the United States. In Canada, opening a Timmy’s is essentially a licence to print money. It’s been said that the vast majority of locations have their daily costs entirely covered by 9am and the rest is pure profit in the form of icing on the cake – or donut – in this instance. Just recently a number of locations were closed in New York State and Maine.
Black Friday was celebrated – if you can call it that – as part of U.S. Thanksgiving, but border towns here in Canada also took part, knowing full well that Americans hungry for bargains would likely make the trek north to save money with the U.S. dollar so strong against the lagging loonie. However, financial experts said the long weekend was unlikely to bring much cheer to investors looking for a revival in retail stocks. The most notorious part of Black Friday seems to have become the annual brawls in the retail stores amongst rapid shoppers. The battle for the steamer at Walmart has already become this year’s big hit on YouTube.

Well, first, I've been studying lots of children's picture books and taking notes on what I like and don't like. Above is my second stack from the library in Pierre. The book on top above is illustrated by Tedd Arnold (click on the picture if you want to go to his website). The author is Jill Sardegna but illustrators get the publicity here.....(but I'll give her a link too -- gotta respect the authors).
I have a new favorite: James Marshall. He was an author/illustrator. He did the George and Martha books. They are so simple but I LOVE THEM!
If you look above the hippos in the picture on the left you'll see some writing.
Besides studying and taking notes of Children's picture books I've been practicing calligraphy. I am reading a book that is filled with interviews of illustrators. One of them mentions the importance of having good lettering skills. So, I'm trying. Here's a few more of my efforts:
So, here's my plan of attack starting next week (my six kids have been home since before Christmas -- if I get everything out - -meaning all my drawing and painting stuff -- they for sure want to join in. They do get to paint but it is hard for me to really work when they are around. They go back to school Monday): I am going to begin on my portfolio pieces and also start working on a couple book ideas with pictures and text. We'll see what happens. The members of the writing group I'm part of, Created to Create Writers Group, are so patient with me. One member has finished her novel while I bring something different every single time. Twice I brought chapters from my book Giant Sophie (which is still being worked on). Another time I brought a piece I wrote long ago. Then other times I've brought poetry and stuff for kids' magazines. Oh well....they love me (I think).

Joe Biden’s poll numbers keep tanking.
The panic meter on the left over the 2024 election keeps rising.
And Joe Biden just received this startling warning that threw his life into chaos.
The most recent CNN poll found just 39 percent of Americans approve of the job Joe Biden is doing as president.
That number includes just 74 percent of Democrats, which for an incumbent president is a five-alarm-fire warning that there is an ongoing political emergency.
Besides concerns about Joe Biden’s age – the CNN poll showed 73 percent of Americans think Joe Biden is not mentally capable of performing the job of president – the border crisis is hitting Democrats at home.
Beginning last year the Republican governors of Florida and Texas decided that if Democrats wanted to run sanctuary cities and states then they can welcome the massive influx of illegal aliens Joe Biden invited into America through his open borders agenda.
Suddenly the fact that Joe Biden let 7 million illegal aliens – a population greater than that of all but 19 states – pour into the country was no longer a theoretical exercise for Democrats to show off their virtue signaling about diversity being our strength.
Democrat mayors and governors were forced to confront the same reality as red states and border states.
And that was the fact that open borders allowed waves of illegal aliens to pour into communities and stress hospital services, schools, crime, and housing.
New York City’s Mayor, Eric Adams, liked to boast that New York City has a
But in the wake of thousands of illegal aliens entering Gotham, Adams ranted that the mobs of illegal aliens would “destroy” the biggest city in America.
“Let me tell you something New Yorkers: Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this. I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City, destroy New York City. We’re getting 10,000 migrants a month,” Adams declared.
In language unheard of for a Democrat – liberals usually sing the praises of diversity – Adams bemoaned the number of countries sending illegal aliens to march right over Joe Biden’s wide-open southern border.
“One time we were just getting Venezuela, now we’re getting Ecuador, now we’re getting Russian-speaking coming through Mexico, now we’re getting Western Africa, now we’re getting people from all over the globe have made their minds up that they’re going to come through the southern part of the border and come into New York City,” Adams continued.
Adams told New Yorkers that no neighborhood – no matter how tiny – would be spared from the ravages of the tens of thousands of illegal aliens flooding the city thanks to Joe Biden’s open southern border.
“And everyone is saying, ‘It’s New York City’s problem.’ Every community in this city is going to be impacted. We have a $12 billion deficit that we’re going to have to cut every service in this city is going to be impacted. All of us,” Adams warned.
The left-wing ladies of “The View” produced a segment for the ages where the four liberals sat in their New York studio and said Americans need to welcome illegal aliens but that illegal aliens are not welcome in New York City and need to go somewhere else.
This may be the greatest clip the view has ever produced. pic.twitter.com/8LhyyJMV0z

For years Democrats loved to thump their chests about a commitment to diversity and treat the poem at the Statue of Liberty as a statement of national policy.
But when faced with the real-life consequences of open borders Democrats revealed that all their “diversity is our strength” rhetoric was nothing more than social media virtue signaling.

The TAI Secretariat, housed at the World Resources Institute, is pleased to announce the release of the Spanish translation of Voice and Choice: Opening the Door to Environmental Democracy. This report assesses the progress governments have made, in 26 countries, to provide access to environmental decisions, evaluates what hurdles remain and how they might be overcome.
More than 35 participants gathered in Cotonou last week for the official launch of TAI –Benin. The three-day workshop opened with remarks from Claudia Amegankpoue, Eco-Ecolo; Théophile Worou, Ministry of the Environment and Protection of Nature; Sophie Kutegeka, Advocates Coalition for Environment and Development and Linda Shaffer, World Resources Institute.
The Rayong Provincial Administrative Court ruled on March 3, 2009 that the National Environment Board must announce Maptapud Industrial Estate and the surrounding areas as a pollution control zone within 60 days of the court’s order.
On March 4, 2009, the Chiang Mai Administrative Court ordered the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) to pay compensation to villagers affected by the pollution caused by its Mae Moh power plant in Lampang province. Mae Moh, Thailand’s largest lignite-filed power plant, began operating on a small scale in the 1960s and was significantly expanded in the 1980s. Sulphur dioxide emissions from the power plant have had a severe impact on the heath of people, damage to crops and useable land in the 16 villages.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This paper reports on a reformulated version of a data mining method called MedRank, which is a network-based algorithm that ranks therapy for a target disease based on the MEDLINE literature database. MedRank algorithm input for this study was a clear definition of the disease model; the algorithm output was the accurate recommendation of antihypertensive drugs. Hypertension with diabetes mellitus was chosen as the input disease model. The ranking output of antihypertensive drugs are based on the Joint National Committee (JNC) guidelines, one through eight, and the publication dates, ≤1977, ≤1980, ≤1984, ≤1988, ≤1993, ≤1997, ≤2003, and ≤2013. The McNemar’s test was used to evaluate the efficacy of MedRank based on specific JNC guidelines.
RESULTS: The ranking order of antihypertensive drugs changed with the date of the published literature, and the MedRank algorithm drug recommendations had excellent consistency with the JNC guidelines in 2013 (P=1.00 from McNemar’s test, Kappa=0.78, P=1.00). Moreover, the Kappa index increased over time. Sensitivity was better than specificity for MedRank; in addition, sensitivity was maintained at a high level, and specificity increased from 1997 to 2013.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of MedRank in ranking medical literature on hypertension with diabetes mellitus in our study suggests possible application in clinical practice; it is a potential method for supporting antihypertensive drug-prescription decisions.

SISSONVILLE, W.Va. — A cast member of the MTV reality show “Buckwild” was found dead Monday in a sport utility vehicle in a ditch along with his uncle and a third, unidentified person, authorities said.
Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department Cpl. B.D. Humphreys said the bodies of cast member Shain Gandee, 21, his uncle David Gandee, 48, and the third person were found near Sissonville.
Authorities had been searching for the men since early Sunday. They were last seen around 3 a.m. Sunday at a bar in Sissonville and they told people they were going driving off-road.
Humphreys said state police were getting ready to send out an aviation unit to search for the men when authorities received a call Monday morning that a vehicle was found wrecked in a muddy area a few miles from Gandee’s home in Sissonville, about 15 miles outside of Charleston.
Authorities found the 1984 Ford Bronco that belonged to the Gandee family in a ditch with the three men inside. Humphreys did not provide details on the condition of the vehicle or the bodies. He said no foul play was involved.
The terrain in the area was “very muddy, very rough,” Humphreys said, adding that authorities had to use all-terrain vehicles to get to the site.
Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper said the news was devastating for the small community.
“It’s a very sad day for the Sissonville area and for these families,” he said. “This is a small community, and most of us know directly members of these families. We’re keeping them in our hearts and prayers.”
Shain Gandee, nicknamed “Gandee Candy” by fans, was a breakout star on the show that followed the antics of a group of young friends enjoying a wild country lifestyle. It was filmed last year, mostly around Sissonville and Charleston.
MTV issued a statement saying it was shocked and saddened to learn of its star’s death.
MTV announced in February that “Buckwild” would be picked up for a second season. It said the half-hour series in the old “Jersey Shore” time slot was pulling in an average of 3 million viewers per episode since its premiere and was the No. 1 original cable series on Thursday nights among 12- to 34-year-olds.
Shain Gandee is the third “Buckwild” cast member to make headlines.
Last week, 24-year-old Salwa Amin was sent back to jail for violating terms of her bond after a February arrest. She was charged with two counts of drug possession with intent to deliver and initially jailed on $200,000 bond. That was later reduced to $100,000, but Amin remained behind bars without bond Monday.
Another cast member, Michael Douglas Burford, was charged in February with driving under the influence.
April Fools’ at the White House
WASHINGTON — The White House managed to pull off an April Fools’ prank.
The White House Twitter account announced Monday to be on the lookout for a “special video message from the president.”
Instead, viewers got a surprise visitor to the press briefing room.
The piece began with a shot of the familiar lectern regularly used by press secretary Jay Carney. It was empty as the presidential entrance march played. Then a small head peeked over the edge of the stand.
“It looks like you were expecting somebody else.”
Indeed. It was Robbie Novak, who plays “Kid President” in a series of popular YouTube videos. “April Fools’ on all of you all,” he said.
TBS extends Conan O’Brien’s late-night show
NEW YORK — TBS says it’s extending Conan O’Brien’s late-night show through November 2015. O’Brien premiered “Conan” on TBS in November 2010, some months after his departure from a short-lived stint as host of NBC’s “Tonight” show. He left NBC when Jay Leno was returned as “Tonight” host.
Although “Conan” averages just 900,000 viewers nightly, TBS says it leads the late-night pack in social media engagement and online activity.
“Conan” airs Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m.
Robin Thicke’s video too hot
NEW YORK — Robin Thicke’s new music video is too hot for YouTube.
A representative for the R&B crooner said Monday that his unrated video for “Blurred Lines” was banned from the website. The clip features nude models prowling around Thicke and rappers T.I. and Pharrell.

Gold set for biggest weekly loss in more than four months
Spot gold rebounded after touching a four-week low on Thursday, but prices were still poised for their biggest weekly loss since November as the prospect of more U.S. interest rate rises has bolstered the dollar.
Hawkish comments from several U.S. Federal Reserve officials this week put investors on guard for the possibility of at least two rates increases this year, with the first potentially as soon as next month, triggering a widespread correction across commodities priced in dollars.
Brent crude oil fell 2 percent this week, while copper prices fell below $5,000 a tonne.
Spot gold slipped 0.6 percent in early trade on Thursday to $1,212.20 an ounce, its weakest since Feb. 26, before rebounding to $1,221.95, up 0.2 percent, by 3:10 p.m. EST (1910 GMT), as the dollar pared some gains after weekly U.S. jobs data.
Gold was on track for a 2.6 percent weekly loss, largely because of Wednesday’s 2.3 percent decline.
London and many other gold markets will be closed on Friday and Monday for the Easter holiday.
U.S. gold settled down 0.2 percent to $1,221.60 an ounce.
“The trade into making a new contract low today in gold seems to suggest that the market is yet to find value at this level, so it could head lower into the $1200-level near-term,” said Eli Tesfaye, senior market strategist for brokerage RJO Futures in Chicago.
“What concerns me is, when the market doesn’t rally when there’s what’s perceived to be bad news, that’s overall an indication that the market is weaker,” he said, referring to the short-lived rally after the deadly Brussels blasts.
The dollar was up 0.09 percent versus a basket of main currencies, heading for a fifth day of gains, its best run in almost a year.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard joined a chorus of officials in highlighting the possibility of at least two rate increases this year, with the first perhaps as soon as April.
Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker said his colleagues need to “get on with it” and raise rates again, while Chicago Fed President Charles Evans also said he expected two more rate increases this year.
Other central banks, however, will keep their ultra-loose monetary policies, which should cushion the Fed’s tightening impact on gold, Commerzbank analyst Daniel Briesemann said.
Silver gained 0.1 percent to $15.23, platinum was down 0.5 percent at $949.75 and palladium fell about 1 percent to $574.

After two centuries of being known mostly for the rumor he poisoned Mozart (it went back long before Peter Shaffer's play and Milos Forman's film), Antonio Salieri is having a moment, with revivals of several of his operas and a general reevaluation of his importance in the musical scene surrounding Mozart and the young Beethoven (whom he taught). Tarare (the name means something like "taradiddle"), composed in 1787, was one of three operas Salieri wrote for Paris; he might have done more had not the revolution cut short his career there. The libretto was written by Pierre Beaumarchais, whose play furnished the material for Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, and it contains some of the same measure of political satire as in the Mozart work. It also contains just about everything else but the kitchen sink; the official description of the work as a tragédie lyrique gives entirely the wrong idea. There are five acts, plus a weighty prologue in which Nature and the Genie of Fire debate numerous topics of the day. In act one we get to know the ineffectual King Atar (the setting is an indeterminate Asian country) and his star soldier, Tarare, whom he resents. The plot is set in motion by Atar's attempt to abduct Tarare's wife, Astasie, to sell her into a harem, and finally to have her for himself. The opera has some parallels to Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail, K. 384, but Beaumarchais and Salieri load up their tale with comic courtiers, images of the Orient and the Other, political commentary, and a variety of put-ons of Parisian figures of the day that audiences at two centuries' removed can hardly hope to appreciate. The opera is action-packed, with lots of arioso passages but comparatively few big numbers, as Beaumarchais desired. It is not dull, and it's effectively put across in this Versailles performance by Les Talens Lyriques, their director Christophe Rousset, and a strong cast led by Cyrille Dubois as Atar, Karine Deshayes as Astasie, and Jean-Sébastien Bou in the title role. Tarare will not rewrite the music history books, but it offers a worthwhile look at Mozart's competition.

Do anyone have any idea on what kind of low cost electricity generator out there expect solar powered, hydro powered, wind powered and fuel powered generator.
I am doing a project on a topic of 'low cost laundry and showering system' for a rural village in Sarawak, Malaysia. The village is 350m away from a river called " Sungai Sebatu". I was deciding to use a millwheel to generate electricity for water pump to get water fill into a water tank which is at 5 meter high from ground. However, the river was then found to be almost standing-still with a minimum flowing speed. Your helping hand will be appreciated.

Pia Wurtzbach's camp reacts to sister Sarah's revelations
MANILA, Philippines — The camp of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach does not want to address the ongoing conflict between the beauty queen and her sister Sarah Wurtzbach.
In a statement sent to Philstar.com, Pia's management said that what's happening between the sisters is a private matter..
"This is a family matter so we respect their privacy. We pray for a peaceful reconciliation and healing for all concerned. Thank you," Pia's talent management agency said.
Sarah recently took a swipe against the beauty queen, claiming that Pia has a bad attitude.
"Ang baho ng ugali mo. Dami mong kuda pero sorry wala. Tapos mangdadamay ng ibang tao na wala naman sa usapan. Magsama kayo ni mama @piawurtzbach," Sarah wrote in her Instagram story.
"Nagiisa mong kapatid ayaw mong supportahan tapos mangdadamay ka palagi ng ibang tao na wala naman sa usapan. Kung alam lang ng tao kung gaano kabaho ugali nyo ni mama. di porket nananahimik ako ako yung masama. Ako pa kailangan lagi magpakumbaba eh ako na nga yung naabuso. T*ng*** nyo @piawurtzbach," she added.
It’s not clear, however, why Sarah was ranting against her sister. In her another IG stories, Sarah said she wanted Pia to apologize to her for hurting her feelings.

In her Instagram post yesterday, Sarah said: "Crazy bih~ Keeping my account private until this dies down. Too many people bored in the house."
In her Instagram story today, the now public account of Sarah posted a quote saying, "Stop teaching girls that being nice is more important than having a voice."
She also insinuated that a lot of internet users messaged her to share their own stories.
"To all the people that took their time to share their stories with me, about hardships in life and about everything else left unspoken. I hear you. I feel your pain. I'm with you," she said.

Huge changes for London 2012 swimming venue
Last updated at 15:36 27 November 2006
The first design was rejected by Olympics minister Tessa Jowell for going twice over the £75million budget and the architect told to "go back to the drawing board".
The new design was revealed today and the aquatics centre will now be smaller than envisaged and built in a slightly different position.
The expensive wave-shaped roof will be nearly a third the size of that originally planned - 14,000 square feet instead of 35,000 - but maintain the same style.
The original design included 20,000 seats and Olympics chiefs say they are keeping to that number with 15,000 seats for the main pool and 5,000 seats for the diving pool.
Olympics chiefs say the final cost cannot be revealed at the moment due to commercial sensitivities.
London 2012 chairman Sebastian Coe said: "We are on schedule to deliver this landmark venue and as Tessa said last week the budget for the design and
construction of all the venues are broadly in line with the out-turn costs prepared.
"We hope people will understand that we cannot put these figures in to the public domain at this stage as negotiations with design and construction
companies are either underway or about to begin. However, all the figures will be made public at the appropriate time."
The aquatics centre is the first major venue to go to the detailed design stage and contractors are already working on the site to prepare the land for construction to start in mid-2008. The venue is due to be completed in the summer of 2011.
It will have two 50metre pools, one for training and one for competition, plus a diving pool.
During the Olympics and Paralympics it will host all the swimming and diving events apart from water polo, and after the Games be converted into a 2,500-seat complex with the potential to add in a further 1,000 temporary seats for European events.
David Higgins, chief executive of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), the body charged will building the venues, said: "The revised design, while just as visionary and exciting, is smaller than the original, reflecting the new
constraints of the site, and is now fully integrated with the bridge from Stratford City to the Olympic Park.
"These are world class designs and the aquatics centre will be a magnificent Gateway to the Games."
Jowell said in a statement the design by architect Zaha Hadid was "inspirational".
She said: "This will provide both a functional and beautiful venue for the Games, a legacy for the local community and will, no doubt, in time become a distinctive landmark in the Olympic Park."
London mayor Ken Livingstone added: "Zaha and her team have carefully recrafted their original concept and produced a truly world class aquatics
