In the home where Arabella Godwin was raised it is forbidden to speak her name, and her picture is turned to the wall. But in the turbulent America of the 1850s, everyone knows her as "Belle Cora," madam of San Francisco's finest bordello. Judges and senators do her bidding; a vicious newspaper editor plots her downfall; a preacher looks at her from across his pulpit and tries to forget that once she was his wife. Merchant's daughter, farm girl, prostitute, mother, madam, murderess, avenger, protector—she has worn all these masks: the only thing that never changes is her tireless pursuit of the one man who can see her for who she really is.
Excerpted from Belle Cora by Phillip Margulies. Copyright © 2014 by Phillip Margulies. Excerpted by permission of Anchor, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
"Gripping, sweeping, and tragic, Belle Cora is the story of an extraordinary woman making her way through an extraordinary time. . . . A character I won't soon forget. " —Anton DiSclafani, author of The Yonahlossee Riding Camp For Girls
"Not only this year's best read, but last year's as well. In a can't-put-it-down historical epic filled with suspense, romance, keen wit, adventure and scandal." —Bookreporter
"Bighearted. . . . Belle belongs in the ranks of literary heroines strong enough to survive illness, heartbreak, financial ruin, scandal and their own worst impulses, and her quintessentially American story makes her a memorable character." —The Columbus Dispatch
"The past is a foreign country. If, like me, you long to visit nineteenth-century New York and San Francisco, I can't imagine a better time-travel substitute than Belle Cora. This is a splendid feast of a novel." —Kurt Andersen, author of Heyday
"Margulies strikes gold. . . . Belle's remarkable story mirrors that of her young country, on the verge of civil war, and her sharp, engaging voice brings her tale to vivid life." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Hard to put down." —The New York Journal of Books
"A story to lose yourself in, by turns thrilling, witty and poignant. Phillip Margulies has given us a luminous portrayal of an unforgettable woman. You will be utterly seduced." —Margaret Leroy, author of The Soldier's Wife
"A debut novel of great scope and top-level excitement." —The Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)
"Enthralling. . . . Above all else, it tells a great story." —Bookriot
"A story that will captivate historical fiction fans as they follow her exploits during a turbulent era." —Library Journal
"Phillip Margulies has taken the scant known facts about Belle and created a magnificent heroine. . . . Utterly compelling. . . . A memorable and outstanding work on many levels." —Historical Novel Society
1. What role do the forward and the introduction play in Belle Cora?
2. Why do you think the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 prompted Belle to tell her life's story?
3. Belle mentions that the book's purpose is not to instruct others on how to live, and insists that her sole purpose is "to tell what happened." Based on the rest of the novel, is she as indifferent to morality as she pretends?
4. In Belle's introduction Belle calls Harriet Atherton, mother of the feeble-minded Jennifer "my old enemy, the good Christian woman." Yet Belle's mother was also a good Christian woman who would never have approved of the way Belle has lived her life. What led Belle away from the faith of her forebears?
5. Why does Lewis become so attached to Horace during the children's journey from New York to Livy? How does this foreshadow Lewis's later attachments to Matthew, to Tom Cross/Jack Cutter, and to David Broderick?
6. Lewis and Belle are uprooted from their home and family. How do their different ages and personalities at the time make this trauma unique for each of them? Which is the more severely damaged? Is the criminal path they both take in life the result of this early trauma?
7. Belle loses her mother and father at the age of nine. Later she encounters a series of (mostly unsatisfactory) surrogate parents; beginning with her grandmother and grandfather, then her aunt and uncle. Who are some of the others and how do they succeed or fail in their role?
8. Belle's aliases are a big part of the book. How does shedding her name help Belle move past disappointments and forge a new identity? What are the limitations to self-reinvention here?
9. Lewis is obviously Belle's favorite brother. But between the other two, Edward and Robert, who do you think she cares for more, and why?
10. Belle's love for Jeptha is rooted in her feeling that he understands and approves of her: yet from about the middle of Book Two she begins to lie to him, putting herself beyond the reach of his understanding. Does Belle turn Jeptha into a fool, loving someone whom he doesn't really know? Or are we allowed to keep a secret or two even from those closest to us?
11. The last chapters of Book Two turn on an historical episode; thousands of people across the United States believed that the world would end by October 1844. How does this event compare with recent end-of-the-world predictions associated with the prophecies of Nostradamus and the Mayan calendar, and the frequent end-time prophecies of evangelists like Billy Graham? Why do people continue to predictions despite their perfect record of 100% inaccuracy?
12. In her discussion of Aunt Agatha's beliefs near the end of Book 2, Belle calls into question the very logic of eternal reward and punishment in the afterlife. She asks how a good person can be happy in heaven knowing that a loved one suffers forever. What do you think of her reasoning?
13. The San Francisco Committee of Vigilance really did take over the city in 1851 and 1856, with the excuse that the city was lawless and its government hopelessly corrupt. For over a century, mainstream historians sided with the vigilantes. More recently, revisionist historians agree with Belle that the vigilantes were unjustified Why do you think historians changed their views? What does this say about the role played in American politics by the legend of the taming of the West?
14. In Books Two through Four, Agnes, Belle's nemesis, outwardly resembles the Victorian ideal of passive femininity though in fact she is a cunning schemer. But when Belle meets her near the end of Book Five, Agnes has turned into a proponent of free love and feminism. Is Agnes's transformation convincing? Are we meant to believe it?
15. Where does Belle stand with respect to women's rights? Belle has a great deal of freedom, and she earns her own money. But she gets these things by running a brothel, where wealthy men pay for sex with beautiful women. In the end, which sort of woman did more to advance the cause of women's dignity and freedom? The madams like Belle, or the respectable women who wanted to close the brothels and the gambling halls?
16. As a narrator Belle is at pains to wise us up about the seamy side of life. Yet in the end she has a word to say in favor of self-deception: "They protect us, these vast lies the whole community embraces…. If they believe in an absurdity, it is because they know deep down that it is more useful to them than the truth." Does she mean it? Is it true?

A prototype strong-constraint incremental four-dimensional variational (4DVAR) assimilation system is now available from the NASA/Global Modeling and Assimilation Office. Preliminary work is experimenting with both a 6- and a 12-hour assimilation time window configuration. Already, results show the benefit of using the larger 12-hour window over the 6-hour window, since the former embraces more observations than the latter. Extending the time window beyond 12 hours will require a weak-constrain formulation of 4DVAR. The challenge that researchers face in weak-constraint 4DVAR is to know how much to trust the forecast model. In mathematical terms, the problem is one of specifying the model error statistics related to our confidence in the model. This proposal is dedicated to exploring methodologies to estimate and parameterize the statistics of model uncertainties. The main goal of this proposal is to allow enlargment of the assimilation time window used in 4DVAR by provinding it with the necessary model error statistics. This will maximize the utility of observations in data assimilation. Ultimately, enlarging the assimilation time window is expected to bring improvements to weather and climate predictions, one of the main NASA goals. An additional contribution this proposal hopes to make to the overall interests of the organization is to foster improvements in the atmospheric forecasting model through the weak-constraint 4DVAR capability to estimate model errors. This can help modelers determine and improve upon deficiencies in the predictive model.

Photographs of the first lady descending the steps of Air Force One in shorts have the media in a sweat. Some are saying Mrs Obama - on her way to the Grand Canyon for a family vacation - may have revealed too much skin.
Mrs Obama is no stranger to public scrutiny over her fashion decisions, including exposing her bare arms or wearing expensive sneakers to a soup kitchen. When Anya Strzemien, style editor at The Huffington Post, saw Obama's shorts, she knew there would be interest.
''I thought the fact that she wore shorts was newsworthy because she's the first first lady to wear shorts on Air Force One,'' Strzemien said. ''I was interested as a newsperson because it was a first. A lot of things the Obamas have done have been firsts.''

The blower final stage fan resistor is known to fail. Symptoms are the heater fan speed varies regardless of the setting, the fan will not turn off when the car is switched off, or the fan will not switch on at all.
A fluid leak may develop from one or more power steering hose. When a leak is being repaired, it is not uncommon for multiple hoses to be replaced.
Failure of the front control arm bracket bushings—often referred to as thrust rod bushings—is moderately common. One symptom is a clunk or jolt felt in the steering when braking.

Agapetes question
I have two varieties of agapetes, Ludgvan Cross and Serpens. Both are growing very well and have at least tripled in size since I got them last fall but neither has bloomed. Is there anything I can do to get them to bloom and what time of the year do they normally flower? These are kept in a greenhouse in filtered light year round. I was also wondering what's the best way to propagate this plant?
Hi Karyn,
I grow Agapetes 'ludgvan Cross', serpens and smithiana and find that these tend to have the biggest flush of bloom in the spring - early summer. All of them can have intermittent bloom through the year too. I grow mine in filtered bright shade, and fertilize with osmocote in the spring. For winter I move them into a hoop house that offers frost protection (we can drop down to 20 degrees on a clear night) and keep them a touch drier.
I have found that these propagate from cuttings really easy spring through summer. When I have taken cuttings in the fall they have just sat (not died though)not showing any type of root development until spring. I set my cuttings up in a 4:1 (give or take) perlite/peat mix and have rooted them in an aquarium with a lid (to hold in humidity). I typically use KLN rooting hormone, but have found they will root fine without it. I have also set them up on a mist bench when I have that available, but it is not necessary.
I hope this helps, Alicia :~)
Thanks Alicia,
I guess not too many people grow agapetes. lol We seem to be doing the same things so maybe I'll get blooms next spring. I hope so. It's not a bad looking foliage plant and I do like the enlarged caudex but I'd really love to see blooms. They are so pretty. I guess I'll wait until the spring to take cuttings. Do they bloom along the newer or older growth or both? BTW what does the smithiana look like? Thanks again for the info.
It's just not getting enough sunlight.The more sun mine gets-the heavier the bloom. Also other things to keep up on are,the soil should be constantly moist-fast draining as it's a virtual epiphyte.
In San Francisco they do best in full sun and are planted that way.
you're welcome. A. smithiana has yellow flowers, round leaves and similar growing form.
Stanofh may have something regarding the amount of light your plants are getting. True enough the Agapetes growing in the city are in full sun, however their temps are cooler (than ours in Sebastopol) and often full sun is overcast. Where I live I see days of upper 90's low 100's often during the summer and have found that they do best in bright shade for me. My shade covering is about 40%. The plants that I am growing under trees will get just a couple of hours of full morning sun when the sun moves lower on the horizon.
Alica :~)

Recipe for language learning
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
At the language kitchen, participants find out how they can use a foreign language in delicious everyday situations like cooking. This natural way of language learning is monitored with the use of tablet computers and motion sensors.
A major challenge in language teaching is adapting the learning to real situations where the language is needed, assert Salla Kurhila and Lari Kotilainen from the Department of Finnish, Finno-Ugrian and Scandinavian Studies.
Kurhila and Kotilainen participated in the LanCook joint project involving five European universities, which has students practise a language by cooking. Providing instruction in several different languages, the "digital language kitchen" consists of a tablet computer, cooking utensils with motion sensors, and software that pulls it all together.
Language students work in pairs to cook a dish typical of a relevant culture with the help of the software.
"For example, in the Finnish version we cook traditional fish soup and sweet berry soup," Kotilainen describes.
Similar to the controls of the Wii game console, the software uses the sensors to track how the students' comprehension of the foreign language and cooking proceed.
Offers for help and a clear purpose
In addition to recipe and cooking vocabulary, the focus of the language kitchen is on interaction. As the students work towards a meal, they need phrases that improve cooperation, such as "do you need help" or "are you all right", as well as the capacity to negotiate with their cooking partner.
"Cooking is a good context for language learning, since it is both universal and has a clear purpose," Kurhila explains.
The digital kitchen is currently being tested. The testing process accumulates data on how students use the language material offered by the computer.
"We have videoed the cooking situations and can present our first observations on the interactions between cooking partners and between student and machine."

Bulgaria's Bansko Resort Seeks Official Approval for 2nd Gondola Lift
Bulgarian Economy and Energy Minister Delyan Dobrev informed Tuesday that the Mayor of the mountain resort of Bansko had submitted an investment declaration for the construction of a second gondola lift and the expansion of the ski runs with the Ministry of Environment and Water on Monday.
In a Tuesday interview for Nova TV, Dobrev explained that he expected representatives of the initiative committee demanding the development of the Bansko ski zone to acquaint him with the plans for the expansion of ski runs and facilities in a meeting on Tuesday.
Bulgaria's Economy and Energy Minister, as cited by mediapool.bg, insisted that a way to develop Bansko had to be found or the numbers of tourists visiting the resort would start dropping.
To illustrate his point, he cited the long queues at the ski lifts.
Оn December 19, an initiative committee headed by Bansko Mayor Georgi Ikonomov submitted a petition for the expansion of the ski zone with the Council of Ministers.
In end-December, locals blocked the road connecting Bansko and Razlog, demanding a swift solution to the problem.
The protests were supported by Parliament Chair Tsetska Tsacheva, Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov, and GERB MP Lyuben Tatarski, who Chairs the Parliamentary Regional Policy and Local Self-Government Committee.
The protests stopped after Tsvetanov promised that the government would organize a discussion on the matter on its very first session in 2013, which did not happen.
A new protest was organized on Monday.
The initiative committee for the development of the Bansko ski zone accuses Bulgarian environmental activists of disseminating lies and provocations.
The proponents of the construction of new ski facilities claim that the activities will not cause any environmental damage in the Pirin National Park.
The Mayor of Bansko, a former MP of ruling party GERB, has said he will not negotiate with the Greens party unless OLAF, the EU anti-fraud office, probes how the environmentalists are using resources and spending money.
Environmentalists have argued that Bansko is already overdeveloped, with an excessive capacity of hotel beds and ski runs that have already harmed the nearby Pirin National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
