Nevil Shute Norway (17 January 1899 – 12 January 1960) was a British novelist and aeronautical engineer. He used his full name in his engineering career, and Nevil Shute as his pen name, to protect his engineering career from any potential negative publicity in connection with his novels.[1]
Vintage Books reprinted all 23 of his books in 2009.[2]
Born in Somerset Road, Ealing, west London, he was educated at the Dragon School, Shrewsbury School and Balliol College, Oxford, from which he graduated in 1922 with a 3rd class degree in engineering science. Shute's father, Arthur Hamilton Norway, became head of the Post Office in Ireland before the First World War, and was based at the main post office in Dublin in 1916 at the time of the Easter Rising. His son was later commended for his role as a stretcher bearer during the rising.
It is said[by whom?] that Shute was a cousin of the red haired Irish-American actress Geraldine Fitzgerald. However, this seems to be a confusion with his account in his autobiography[3] of his older brother Fred's proposal in Dublin in 1913 to the "ravishingly beautiful ... dark hair[ed]" Geraldine Fitzgerald who wanted to go on the stage.[4] Fred Norway himself died of wounds in France in 1915.
Shute attended the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich but because of his stammer was unable to take up a commission in the Royal Flying Corps, instead serving in World War I as a soldier in the Suffolk Regiment.
An aeronautical engineer as well as a pilot, he began his engineering career with de Havilland Aircraft Company but, dissatisfied with the lack of opportunities for advancement, he took a position in 1924 with Vickers Ltd., where he was involved with the development of airships, working as Chief Calculator (stress engineer) on the R100 airship project for the Vickers subsidiary Airship Guarantee Company. In 1929 he was promoted to Deputy Chief Engineer of the R100 project under Sir Barnes Wallis and when Wallis left the project he became the Chief Engineer.
The R100 was a prototype for passenger-carrying airships that would serve the needs of Britain's empire. The government-funded but privately developed R100 was a success in that it made a successful 1930 return trip to and from Canada and while in Canada undertook local trips to Ottawa, Toronto and Niagara Falls from Montreal. But the fatal 1930 crash in France of its government-developed counterpart R101 while flying to India ended British interest in dirigibles. The Secretary of State for Air, Lord Thomson, was killed in the crash along with many senior figures in the airship development program. The R100 was immediately grounded and subsequently scrapped. Shute gives a detailed account of the development of the two airships in his 1954 autobiographical work, Slide Rule. His account is very critical of the R101 design and management team, and strongly hints that senior team members were complicit in concealing flaws in the airship's design and construction.
In 1931, with the cancellation of the R100 project, Shute teamed up with the talented de Havilland trained designer A. Hessell Tiltman to found the aircraft construction company Airspeed Ltd.
Despite setbacks and tribulations, including the usual problem of the start-up business, liquidity, Airspeed Limited eventually gained significant recognition when its Envoy aircraft was chosen for the King's Flight. With the approach of war a military version of Envoy was developed, to be called the Airspeed Oxford. The Oxford became the standard advanced multi-engined trainer for the RAF and British Commonwealth, with over 8,500 being built.
For the innovation of developing a hydraulic retractable undercarriage for the Airspeed Courier, and his work on R100, Shute was made a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
On 7 March 1931, Shute married Frances Mary Heaton, a 28-year-old medical practitioner. They had two daughters, Heather and Shirley.
By the outbreak of World War II, Shute was already a rising novelist. Even as war seemed imminent he was working on military projects with his former Vickers boss Sir Dennistoun Burney. He joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve as a sub-lieutenant and quickly ended up in what would become the Directorate of Miscellaneous Weapons Development. There he was a head of engineering, working on secret weapons such as Panjandrum, a job that appealed to the engineer in him. His celebrity as a writer caused the Ministry of Information to send him to the Normandy Landings on 6 June 1944 and later to Burma as a correspondent. He finished the war with the rank of lieutenant-commander RNVR.
What is now recognised as Shute's first novel, the novella Stephen Morris, was written in 1923, but not published until 1961. 24 of his novels and novellas have been published.
Shute's novels are written in a simple, highly readable style, with clearly delineated plot lines. Where there is a romantic element, sex is referred to only obliquely. Many of the stories are introduced by a narrator who is not a character in the story. The most common theme in Shute's novels is the dignity of work, spanning all classes, whether an Eastern European bar "hostess" (Ruined City) or brilliant boffin (No Highway).
Another recurrent theme is the bridging of social barriers such as class (Lonely Road and Landfall), race (The Chequer Board) or religion (Round the Bend). The Australian novels are individual hymns to that country, with subtle disparagement of the mores of the USA (Beyond the Black Stump) and overt antipathy towards the post-World War II socialist government of Shute's native Britain (The Far Country and In the Wet).
Shute lived a comfortable middle-class English life. His heroes tended to be middle class: solicitors, doctors, accountants, bank managers, engineers. Usually, like himself, they had enjoyed the privilege of university, not then within the purview of the lower classes. However (as in Trustee from the Toolroom), Shute valued the honest artisan and his social integrity and contributions to society more than the contributions of the upper classes.
Aviation and engineering provide the backdrop for many of Shute's novels. He identified how engineering, science and design could improve human life and more than once used the apparently anonymous epigram "It has been said an engineer is a man who can do for five shillings what any fool can do for a pound...."[5]
Several of Shute's novels explore the boundary between accepted science and rational belief on the one hand, and mystical or paranormal possibilities, including reincarnation, on the other hand. Shute does this by including elements that can be considered fantasy or science fiction in novels that are classified as mainstream. These are based in elements that would be considered religious, mystical, or psychic phenomena in the British vernacular when they were written. These include: Buddhist astrology and folk prophecy in "The Chequer Board"; the effective use of a ouija board in "No Highway"; a messiah figure in "Round the Bend"; and past and future lives with a psychic connection, near-future science fiction, and Aboriginal psychic powers in "In the Wet."
Many of his books were filmed, including Lonely Road, Landfall, Pied Piper (1942 and 1990 (as "Crossing to Freedom")), On the Beach (in 1959 and also in 2000), No Highway (in 1951) and A Town Like Alice (in 1956). The last was serialised for Australian television in 1981, as was, a little later, The Far Country.
In 1948, after World War II, he flew his own Percival Proctor light aeroplane to Australia and back, with the writer James Riddell. On his return home, concerned about the general decline in his home country, he decided that he and his family would emigrate and so, in 1950, he settled with his wife and two daughters on farmland at Langwarrin, south-east of Melbourne.[6] In Slide Rule, quoting from the diary he kept during the R100's successful test flight to Canada, Shute had written in 1930, "I would never have believed after a fortnight's stay I should be so sorry to leave a country." In 1954 he introduced that quote, "For the first time in my life I saw how people live in an English-speaking country outside England," and said it was interesting in the light of his later decision to emigrate to Australia.[7] Although he intended to remain in Australia, he did not take out Australian citizenship, but at that time it would have been an unnecessary formality as he would have had the same rights as an Australian citizen because he was a British subject.[8]
In the 1950s and 1960s he was one of the world's best-selling novelists, although his popularity has since declined, at least in Australia.[9] However, he retains a core of dedicated readers who share information through various web pages such as The Nevil Shute Foundation.[10]
Between 1956 and 1958 in Australia, he took up car racing as a hobby, driving a white Jaguar XK140.[11] Some of this experience found its way into his book On the Beach.
Shute died in Melbourne in 1960 after a stroke.[12]
Shute's works can be divided into three sequential thematic categories, centred round World War II:
The Pre-War category comprises Stephen Morris, Pilotage, Marazan, So Disdained, Lonely Road, Ruined City and An Old Captivity; also the film script Vinland the Good.
The War category comprises What Happened to the Corbetts, Landfall, Pied Piper, Pastoral, Most Secret, The Chequer Board and The Seafarers.
Most novels in the Post-War category are at least partially set in Shute's adopted country of Australia. It comprises No Highway, A Town Like Alice, Round the Bend, The Far Country, In the Wet, Requiem for a Wren, Beyond the Black Stump, On the Beach, The Rainbow and the Rose and Trustee from the Toolroom.
Norway Road and Nevil Shute Road at Portsmouth Airport, Hampshire were both named after him. Shute Avenue in Berwick, Victoria was named after him, when the farm used for filming the 1959 movie was subdivided for housing.
The public library in Alice Springs is the Nevil Shute Memorial Library.[16]
In the Readers' List of the Modern Library 100 Best Novels of the 20th century, A Town Like Alice came in at number 17, Trustee from the Toolroom at 27, and On the Beach at 56.[17]

Emma Stone and Olivia Wilde at NYC Revlon Walk For Women
Emma and Andrew Bring PDA and a Pup to Revlon's Race
Emma Stone and Olivia Wilde met up in NYC today for Revlon's annual EIF Run/Walk For Women. The duo, who are ambassadors for the brand, hosted the event, which helps raise money for research, treatment, and support for medically underserved women with cancer. Olivia urged fans to join them for the cause on Twitter yesterday, writing, "Emma Stone and I need you to come hang out with us tomorrow: Saturday. In NYC. Don't stand us up!"
Emma shared her beauty tips during last week's launch of Revlon's new Lash Potion Mascara in the Big Apple. When she's not working with the beauty brand, Emma's been spending time with boyfriend Andrew Garfield, and the couple attended the opening-night party for the new play Bull on Thursday. He joined her again for the race today and brought along a service dog that they walked with while showing PDA for each other.

So far, the young-adult vampire-romance series consists of four books: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.
Although Meyer admits that titling the first book was a struggle, her choice seems appropriate. Twilight is the time right before the sun sets and the moon rises — the time vampires feel the safest.
The second book, New Moon, is about losing love. The title refers to the darkest stage of the lunar cycle, which represents the darkest time in Bella's life.
The title Eclipse focuses on Bella comprehending the price she will pay for becoming a vampire, which she had not given any prior serious thought. Many aspects and relationships that revolve around Bella are uprooted once she makes her decision.
Breaking Dawn refers to the beginning of Bella's life as a vampire. The cover represents Bella's progress from the weakest character in the saga (human) to the most powerful (the queen).

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
2 Nigeria radio journalists who talked about polio rumours on air charged after killings
KANO, Nigeria - Police in northern Nigeria arrested and charged two radio journalists and a local cleric alleged to have sparked the killings of at least nine women gunned down while trying to administer polio vaccines, officials said Tuesday. Police claimed their on-air comments about a vaccination campaign in the area inflamed the region and caused the attacks.
The allegations against the journalists working for Wazobia FM show the continuing struggle over free speech in Nigeria, a nation that came out of military rule only in 1999 and where simply taking photographs on the street can get a person arrested. Though Nigeria has a rambunctious free press, threats and attacks against journalists remain common and unsolved killings of reporters still haunt the country.
On Friday in Kano, the largest city in Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north, gunmen in three-wheel taxis attacked women preparing to give the oral-drop vaccines to children, killing at least nine, police said. Witnesses later said they saw at least 12 dead from the attack. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, though suspicion immediately fell on the sect known as Boko Haram, which is waging a campaign of guerrilla shootings and bombings across northern Nigeria.
A few days before the killings, Wazobia FM aired a program in which presenters talked about how one of the station's journalists had been attacked by local officials and had his equipment confiscated after coming upon a man who refused to allow his children to be vaccinated. The journalists and the cleric on the program apparently discussed the fears people have about the vaccine, which then spread through the city.
Kano state police commissioner Ibrahim Idris ordered the journalists and the cleric be arrested immediately after Friday's attack.
Initially, Idris said the journalists would face charges of "culpable homicide" over the polio workers' deaths. Those charges can carry the death penalty. However, at an arraignment hearing Tuesday afternoon, prosecutors brought lesser charges that included conspiracy, inciting a disturbance and obstruction of a public servant. Magistrate Ibrahim Bello ordered a follow-up hearing Thursday.
Onimisi Adaba, operation manager for Wazobia FM and its sister stations, later told The Associated Press that the radio group was "fully aware of the situation."
"We are presently attending to the matter," Adaba said. He declined to comment further.
There have long been suspicions about the polio vaccine in northern Nigeria, with people believing the drops would sterilize young girls.
In 2003, a Kano physician heading the Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria said the vaccines were "corrupted and tainted by evildoers from America and their Western allies." That led to hundreds of new infections in children across the north, where beggars on locally made wooden skateboards drag their withered legs back and forth in traffic, begging for alms. The 2003 disease outbreak in Nigeria eventually spread throughout the world, even causing infections in Indonesia.
Today, Nigeria is one of only three countries where polio remains endemic, the others being Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Nigeria came out of a long period of military rule in 1999 and has an unbridled free press, but journalists are often harassed by police and the State Security Service, the nation's secret police. Local journalists also have been attacked and killed in the oil-rich nation over their reporting. Eighteen journalists have been killed in Nigeria since 1992, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists
Newspapers and radio stations also often hold off paying journalists their salaries for months at a time. That forces reporters to make money from selling advertising to those they cover or through collecting so-called "brown envelope" bribes slipped into briefing materials at news conferences.
Mohamed Keita, an official with the Committee to Protect Journalists in New York, said his organization is investigating the circumstances surrounding the journalists' prosecution.
"We are troubled by the detentions of journalists insofar as there appears to be no evidence linking their program to the murderous attacks on the polio clinics," Keita said. "We call on Nigerian authorities to afford the journalists due process under the law."
Associated Press writer Jon Gambrell in Johannesburg contributed to this report.

Tom Schieffer, ballpark have served Rangers well
Maybe you have to remember the old place, a baseball dungeon of sorts, to fully appreciate the new one.
Built in 1965, Turnpike Stadium was wind-swept and uninspiring. Even after it was renamed and expanded from 10,000 to 35,700 seats for the arrival of the Texas Rangers, it looked more like a Rube Goldberg attraction from neighboring Six Flags Over Texas than a major league baseball park.
Its predominant feature was … well … its parking lots, which encircled old Arlington Stadium like a steamy asphalt stain. And as the Rangers alumni who have gathered for Hall of Fame Weekend can attest, the artificial turf tunnel from the clubhouse to the dugout always seemed to be flooded and smelly.
"We knew we were going to have to build a new stadium," Tom Schieffer recalled. "The old one wasn't going to be able to sustain a major league salary structure."
Nor the plumbing, as Schieffer and the Rusty Rose-George W. Bush ownership group would soon learn.
Schieffer's induction into the Rangers Hall of Fame this weekend is a long time coming. The project that Schieffer was entrusted with, the Ballpark in Arlington, turned 20 years old this season.
It remains one of baseball's best venues, distinctive in character but with its endearing tributes to the game's past. Baseball snobs still occasionally disparage the ballpark for mimicking the Tigers' old Home Run Porch and the frieze that ringed the Yankee Stadium roof.
But what would you have wanted otherwise? A swimming pool (Arizona), a fish tank (Tampa Bay) or a Chevy showroom (Detroit)?
Schieffer loves to recount the saga of the building of the ballpark, and I don't blame him. The partnership that was forged between the then-ownership group and then-Mayor Richard Greene's office helped to shape the Arlington and Tarrant County that we know today.
Circa 1990, Dallas, Plano and Irving all also wanted the Rangers to move to their cities. But Arlington had the land and the willingness to make the new ballpark happen. A record turnout for the January 1991 general election approved a half-cent sales tax increase by a 65-35 percent margin.
Now the city hosts the area's two most visible sports franchises, a remarkable transformation for what was once just an amusement park turnpike exit.
It's unfortunate in a way, however, that most of the attention this weekend has been showered on the ballpark that Schieffer built, rather than on the role he played in remaking the baseball club. The hiring of general manager Doug Melvin, who in turn hired Johnny Oates as manager, laid a foundation that elevated the Rangers to the postseason for the first time.
The opening of the ballpark naturally helped. Schieffer recalled a post-opening meeting where major league officials began to refer to the Rangers as a "big-market team."
"Sandy Johnson [assistant GM] had gone to the meeting and said, 'Why are they calling us a big-market team?' " Schieffer said. "I told him, 'Because we're getting ready to be one.' "
He built the ballpark. He helped to bring aboard Melvin and Oates. He made sure the team didn't trade Pudge Rodriguez to the Yankees. He kept Van Cliburn's piano dry so that Opening Day could have a national anthem for the ages.
Schieffer helped to organize the successful Rangers Foundation. And when his days with the club were done, he proudly distinguished himself as our nation's ambassador in Australia and Japan during the difficult post-9/11 period.
He served his president well, just as he served the Rangers for nine years.
In his remarks Saturday night, Schieffer eloquently said, "You have to understand that you never really own a baseball team. All you can do is be a good steward of the game and its history.
"It becomes your duty to pass it along better than you found it."
There can be no doubt that Tom Schieffer, Rangers Hall of Fame member, did that.

As a child I never heard one woman say to me, "I love my body." Not my mother, my elder sister, my best friend. No one woman has ever said, "I am so proud of my body." So I make sure to say it to Mia, because a positive physical outlook has to start at an early age.

this didn't made any difference on my face! I have oily to combination skin and it made it look more shiny! But it did my face very soft, I think this would work great for someone with dry to normal skin!
I honestly just started using it but I'd actually working or giving my face wash an added push at least. I don't use it before make up just at night I wash my face add a thin coat and I'm starting to see a difference
I don't really see it doing anything without applying the foundation. However, when I applied it before applying liquid foundation on my face, the foundation lasted longer and covered more pores than usual just like the promise.
I love this because it does work but it is tricky to put on. I've used a brush, it smudges the foundation, I've used a sponge, it looks like frosting, I use my finger and dab.
I have giant pores on my cheeks, and I purchased this hoping to see my pores at least diminish in size, but I'm sorry to say they looked exactly the same and makeup still got trapped. This is a thick primer and I like it to prime/hydrate my face.

Making federal data sets available online is a great first step, but how about providing tools so that users can quickly visualize selected data in a personalized online dashboard?
That is what the Federal Communications Commission aims to do with its new MyFCC platform that launched in beta format on Dec. 20. The new platform uses an Application Programming Interface (API) architecture promoted by its former managing director, Steven VanRoekel, who is now the federal chief information officer.
Related story:
FCC.gov spent $1.4M to move website to cloud, go open source
Users of MyFCC can create and manage a customized page, choosing from a menu of FCC widgets, tools and services.
For example, the page could have a box for the FCC's latest official documents, latest press releases and official forms and filings.
"With its various customization options, MyFCC not only lets you set up a personalized page, but also allows any individual or group to easily share content where it's needed -- either on My.FCC.gov or on other websites," David Robbins, FCC managing director, wrote on the FCC blog. "Each individual widget can be embedded on any other website and you can also create full dashboards of widgets to share with friends and colleagues.
MyFCC is driven by an open-source API, which makes the contents of the website available to developers and other interested parties.
Robbins' predecessor at the FCC, VanRoekel, strongly promoted the idea that all websites should have API content. VanRoekel left the FCC in June and two months later succeeded Vivek Kundra.
Mike Reich, president of Seabourne consulting, wrote on his blog on Dec. 22 that his company helped to create MyFCC. He said the new platform was relatively inexpensive to create because it leverages the open-source content available at the main Web portal FCC.gov
"Because we were able to leverage the FCC.gov content through the API, the time and cost to develop MyFCC were radically lower than alternative approaches. This is a great example of how a Web API Platform architecture can help reduce development cost while supporting cutting-edge applications," Reich wrote.
Bloggers also are praising the commission for creating an innovative platform that can be used to arrange and display data, and to combine the FCC data with other data sets.
"MyFCC is a great example of how APIs can enable telecom professionals, legal practitioners, federal officials and consumers to share, remix and mash up the massive amounts of government data, to help make sense of it, while also sharing their findings help influence how our government and democracy operates," Kin Lane wrote on the Programmable Web blog on Dec. 21.

Yes, there is a reward.Submitted by Guest1969 (not verified) on Wed, 09/10/2008 - 7:43pm.
Yes, there is a reward being offered. It's called being a decent person. If you know something about the murders, you should contact WPD or call Crimestoppers. Your information, if of value to the police and their investigation, could be worth a cash reward to you. But ideally, you should do the right thing simply because it is the RIGHT THING TO DO, not because you just want money.

Judge Lewis, we have higher expectations for our judges. We expect them to be ABOVE the riff-raff that happens on the political battlefield. Not only have you caused a division in the Brunswick County Republican Party, you've also chosen to wage two political battles -- which you've lost. Perhaps it would be a good idea if you stuck with what you know best, ruling on judicial and legal issues from the bench, and stay out of politics. Brunswick, Columbus and Bladen Counties have enough drama already without you stirring up more.

Hey, this is a relatively new issue, actually. My launcher refuses to launch. I KNOW. I'm on a MacBook. (Not pro) Version 10.6.4 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (Just possible relevant specs) So, the launcher starts up, it updates, and tehn I click play, it minimizes, and.... Nothing. It sits there, and nothing nothing ever ever ever happens. I wanted to try re-installing, but the download link seems to not be up, So bad luck for me? Anyone have input or a soultion to this issue?
I have the same problem as you lol ... dunno what to do.
I reckon it might be a problem with the directory? I've been hearing some issues with non Admin accounts, and I'm running mine off a root account, It's not the original admin, but i don't see that being the problem...
Junior Member
Same thing happens on my windows.
I had the same problem, I think its on all MacBook's who aren't pro. Just restart and then try to launch it, and give it 3 - 4 minutes.
