In haunting ways, this gorgeous novel prefigures Irène Némirovsky's masterpiece Suite Française. Set in France between 1910 and 1940 and first published in France in 1947, five years after the author's death, All Our Worldly Goods is a gripping story of war, family life and star-crossed lovers. Pierre and Agnes marry for love against the wishes of his parents and his grandfather, the tyrannical family patriarch. Their marriage provokes a family feud that cascades down the generations. This brilliant novel is full of drama, heartbreak, and the telling observations that have made Némirovsky's work so beloved and admired.
Editorial Reviews
—A.S. Byatt, The Guardian
"A slender, elegant book which displays an unbroken respect for the resilience of the human spirit."
—The Daily Mail
"Poignant. . . . A delicate and subtle study of lives swept up by forces beyond their control or understanding."
—The Telegraph
"A remarkable novel. . . . Némirovsky's voice, compassionate yet always shrewd, with its sharp portrait of France at war and during the optimistic and confused twenties and early thirties, is always distinctive."
—Literary Review
More buried treasure from the French author killed at Auschwitz in 1942 and re-discovered in 2006; this story of a middle-class family roiled by love and war was posthumously published in 1947.
Saint-Elme in Normandy is a company town that revolves around a paper factory owned by the Hardelots. Their patriarch in the early 20th century is Julien, a domestic tyrant who has arranged the marriage of his grandson Pierre to the wealthy orphan Simone. Stability and propriety—these are his watchwords. But he has misjudged the spirited Pierre, in love with the equally spirited but less socially elevated Agnès, also being married off. The pleasure here comes from Némirovsky's dissection of the haute bourgeoisie: she knows these people, their secret selves. Gossip spreads about the lovers' innocent goodbyes in the woods. A scandal! Both engagements are broken off. Julien disowns his grandson; Pierre marries Agnès in Paris, a haven from the stifling conventions of Saint-Elme. Némirovsky excels at mordant characterizations, but her depiction of devoted couples is equally convincing, and these young people, romantic realists, make a marriage strong enough to survive a chaotic future; it anchors the novel. That chaos arrives with World War I. Roads are choked with refugees. Saint-Elme and its factory are destroyed, but Julien rebuilds and reconciles with Pierre, for the boy has fought a good war. The inter-war years see Pierre's discarded fiancée Simone emerge as a power at the factory (capital counts), though her own marriage is difficult. Her rebellious daughter will fall for Pierre's son Guy, another potential scandal. All too soon war returns, Saint-Elme and the factory are destroyed again, but Pierre and Agnès rise to the occasion. The novel has its flaws. Some characters are undeveloped; the final section is rushed. Yet they are more than outweighed by the author's almost Tolstoyan sweep, and her vision of a society refracted through one family under siege.
For English-language readers, the best introduction to Némirovsky's work.

Read an Excerpt
They were together, so they were happy. Even though the watchful family slipped between them, separating them gently but firmly, the young man and woman knew they were near one another; nothing else mattered. It was the beginning of the century – an autumn evening at the seaside, overlooking the English Channel. Pierre and Agnès, their parents and Pierre's fiancée had all gathered to watch the last firework display of summer. On the fine sand of the dunes, the inhabitants of Wimereux-Plage formed dark little groups, barely visible in the starlight. The moist sea air drifted around them. A profound sense of tranquillity reigned over them, and over the sea, and over the world.
The families were not very friendly to each other, for they belonged to different social classes: the bourgeoisie didn't mingle with the lower middle classes. Each kept its place and its distance with modesty, steadfastness and dignity. Each built itself a fortress out of spades and folding chairs. Each scrupulously respected the possessions of its neighbours and defended its own courteously but resolutely, just as a well-tempered sword bends but does not break. The mothers would murmur, 'Don't touch that, it doesn't belong to you . . . Excuse me, Madame, this is my son's seat and this one is mine . . . Watch your toys or someone will take them.'
Heavy storm clouds had been gathering all day, but it hadn't rained. Agnès thought how wonderful it would be to dip her bare feet in the water. But it wasn't done to go into the sea, except at midday and amid a crowd of people, thus somehow preserving a young girl's modesty. She could hear Pierre sighing. He didn't like the heat. He was wearing a dark jacket with a stiff collar; its pale white glow allowed her to make him out in the darkness. He was lying in the hollow of a sand dune, impatiently waving his arms. 'Pierre, come now, sit still,' his mother said, as if he were twelve years old. In fact he was twenty-four, but her tender, authoritarian voice held such power over him that he obeyed her still. Simone, Pierre's fiancée, sat between him and Agnès; he turned away to avoid looking at the pale folds of flesh round Simone's waist and her milky-white round arms. This girl looks as if she's made of milk, and butter, and cream, he mused. It was strange; he had often looked with pleasure at her fresh, plump body, her thick, soft waist and red hair. But, for some time now, the sight of her made him feel nauseous, like a meal that is too heavy, too sweet. Nevertheless, they were engaged. The following week, a grand engagement dinner would make it official, uniting the two families. There was no hope for him and Agnès. So little hope that they hadn't even confessed their love to each other. It was pointless. Pierre Hardelot came from the Hardelot Paper Mills family of Saint-Elme. Agnès's family were brewers. Only a foreigner, someone from outside, would have thought a marriage between them possible. The people of Saint-Elme had no such illusions; they understood, with infallible, subtle tact, how the two young people's different social standing was a barrier. The brewers were from the lower classes and, even worse, they weren't from the region but from Flanders. The Hardelots were from Saint-Elme. There were plenty more obstacles. Pierre should have felt despair, but in spite of everything he was happy. Agnès was here. They were together.
The fireworks still hadn't started. The men allowed themselves to relax a little; they stretched out their legs, propped themselves up on their elbows. 'No one else is lolling about like you,' Pierre's mother whispered in his ear. 'It isn't done.' The women sat on the beach as if they were in drawing-room armchairs, backs straight, skirts modestly covering their ankles. If a blade of pale dune grass bent in the wind to tickle their calves, they closed their legs tight, as if ashamed. Their dresses were long and black; their starched linen collars, stiffened with whalebone, restricted their necks, forcing them to turn their heads from side to side with sudden, staccato movements, like hens pecking at worms. When the lighthouse beacon passed you could see their hats, a veritable garden of chiffon and velvet flowers quivering on wire stems. Here and there a stuffed seagull with a pointy beak stood perched on a straw boater. This was the height of fashion, the favourite adornment of the season, though some people found it somewhat daring. There was something unsubtle about that bird, with its little glass eye and extended wings, Pierre's mother thought, as she looked at Agnès's mother, comparing her neighbour's grey-feathered hat to her own with its decoration of daisies. But Agnès's mother was from Paris. There were niceties she couldn't sense, couldn't understand.
Nevertheless, she seemed very anxious to please. 'Yes,' she would say, 'I do agree', or 'That's what I think as well'. But even her humility did not inspire confidence. Everyone knew that, before her marriage, Gabrielle Florent had been forced to work for a living. She herself admitted that she'd given singing lessons. Anything was possible. A singing teacher might have socialised with actresses. In spite of everything, she was accepted in Saint-Elme, for, as far as her present conduct was concerned, there was nothing to be said. Yet even though she was accepted, people remained on the defensive.
It would have been better for Agnès, for Agnès's future, if there had been some precise accusation regarding her mother's past,
rather than these vague insinuations, people whispering, nodding or sighing as she passed by. 'Do they have family in Paris? I think this Madame Florent had a bad reputation when she was young. Her daughter will not find a husband so easily. I can't see her getting married. Can you?' Monsieur Florent had died three years before. Everyone was surprised that his widow had remained in Saint-Elme. 'She must have no family left,' people said, slightly maliciously; in the eyes of Saint-Elme, the absence of numerous relatives was suspicious. 'She says she's lost everyone.' That was no excuse. A good middle-class family should be large, and hardy enough to stand up to death.
'The fireworks,' shouted the children, 'the fireworks are starting.'
A golden swirl burst forth from behind the sand dunes and spun over the waves. Everyone stood up in curiosity and pleasure. The inhabitants of Wimereux-Plage rarely indulged in entertainments; they played Ludo in the Casino and, sometimes, touring theatre companies came from Paris. They didn't have to pay to see the fireworks. Sound economic principles reigned supreme here.
'Come over here, Agnès,' said Pierre. 'Come and stand in front of me, so you can see better . . .'
But when Agnès went over to him, she found him flanked by his mother and fiancée. He held out his hand to help her climb on to the sand dune and Madame Hardelot immediately called out to her husband, 'Charles, stand behind Agnès. You're so tall! She can't see a thing, can you, darling?'
And so, protected on three sides, Pierre was as defended as a fortress. He pushed the women away rather briskly. 'It's too hot. I prefer lying in the sand.'
Agnès didn't dare move. She lowered her head and choked back the tears.
During the winter the Hardelots and Florents rarely saw each other, even though they were neighbours. The people of Saint-Elme had a remarkable talent for ignoring whatever they didn't wish to know. How well they knew when to become deaf and blind. How tactfully they side-stepped anything they found unpleasant! Families could live next door to one another for twenty years and never even glance at each other. But here, at Wimereux, it was different. In their youth, Agnès's father and Charles Hardelot had each bought property on the seafront; their chalets were adjoining. It was unfortunate, but as this was a good location, it took precedence over any other factor. They couldn't very well ignore each other. And besides, summer was of no consequence, the Hardelots thought; it was as if their habits, their prejudices, their preconceptions were all part of their environment, their habitat. Once away from home, they became more tolerant, just as certain insects lose their sting once outside the hive. But summer was nearly over. 'And we'll never see each other again,' thought Agnès. 'He'll get married and as for me . . . Anyway, does he even love me? He's never told me he does . . . He knows he can't marry me, so it wouldn't be right,' she thought. 'But if he did love me, I'd follow him to the ends of the earth.'
'Look how beautiful it is,' said Madame Florent, leaning towards her daughter.
'Oh, yes, beautiful,' replied Agnès, her voice trembling, seeing nothing.
A spray of shooting stars rose towards the sky, then fell back down again, lighting up the crowd; a long whistle sounded as it descended, like a jet of steam. Everyone looked up: Pierre, thin and suntanned, with his wide forehead, small mouth and light-brown moustache; Madame Hardelot, fat, soft and pale; Simone, with her heavy chin. Agnès automatically imitated the movements of the others; she had a young, thin face, pale skin and dark hair.
Flames, cornucopias, fiery wheels filled the skies. Then they went out. The night seemed even darker; the air smelled of smoke. Only one little green shooting star, as lost as an orphan, hovered for a moment in the sky before plunging at great speed towards the sand dunes. 'Oh!' the crowd sighed in disappointment, but then other fireworks lit up the east (a cockerel, a fountain, white at first, then tinged with silver, then with red, white and blue) and the crowd showed its joy by crying out a satisfied 'Ah-ah-ah . . .' while the wails of a child rose from the darkness.
The fountain exploded and fell silent. The last rockets disappeared into the sea. The fireworks were over. The Florents and the Hardelots set off for home. Charles Hardelot led the way. His spectacles, set low on his nose, glistened in the beam from the lighthouse. He held his shoes and socks in his hands; he had rolled his trouser legs above his knees. It was difficult to walk in the dunes unless you were barefoot; the hills and valleys of sand were constantly shifting, then re-forming, setting off fine white rivers that crunched inside stockings and ankle boots. It was a constant trial to these ladies; they walked with difficulty, grimacing, leaning against each other. Naturally, the idea of taking off their shoes would never have occurred to them, any more than the idea of removing their corsets. The young women walked alongside their mothers, in silence. Pierre was gone.
'He said he was going over to the Casino before coming home,' said Madame Hardelot disapprovingly. Then she whispered in her husband's ear, 'Don't go to bed before he gets back so you know what time he comes in . . .'
'Do you want to know what I think?' said Charles, in the same tone of voice. 'I'll feel better when we're back in Saint-Elme and Pierre is married. I dislike these excessive seaside distractions,' he added, rubbing his thin dry legs; the sand fell from his tight, muscular calves and long, delicate ankles. He put his shoes back on, shaking his head with a worried expression.
A few street lamps were lit along the road, illuminating the houses set among the sand dunes and pine trees. They had names like 'My Respite', 'My Delight', 'The Swiss Chalet' or 'The Waves'. They were all alike, with their high pointed roofs and wooden balconies, their narrow windows decorated with pebbles and seashells. The Hardelots and the Florents had the last two houses. Beyond them, the road turned into a sandy slope. Sand covered the front steps and the garden paths.
Wimereux was already getting ready for a peaceful night. Here and there, a light flickered behind the shutters, then went out. Each household barricaded itself in to keep out the nocturnal wind, the roaring sea. There was no singing; no shouting: the people of Wimereux were 'respectable'. Further down the coast, a luxury hotel had been built, so they'd heard; its guests were gentlemen who dressed for dinner every evening, and ladies who went riding every day. Down there, they danced and gambled until dawn. But no one envied those outsiders. That sort of thing went on far away, or so it seemed, on another planet, one that deserved neither interest nor consideration of any sort. As they went inside, the families exchanged long, ceremonious goodbyes. Sleepy children were dragged along by the hand. In single file, they climbed the pale wooden steps that smelled of sap and honey. Simone went into her room; it was between Pierre's grandfather's room and his parents' bedroom. Pierre slept on a different floor, as far away from his fiancée as possible, so as not to arouse the slightest suspicion about the fact that a young man and young woman were living under the same roof. Doors were bolted; windows locked; they checked under the beds. In their peaceful universe, these people saw danger everywhere, pitfalls of every kind.
In her room, Agnès lifted a corner of the curtain, looking down the road for Pierre. She was very careful not to be seen. What a scandal it would be if anyone suspected she wasn't asleep, that she was waiting...for whom? Someone else's fiancé. He wasn't there. A soft but thick fog rose from the sea. It was early September; you could smell autumn now. The air had lost its warmth, become damp and bitter. She waited. It was nearly midnight. One by one, the street lamps went out. At midnight, all of Wimereux was asleep. Finally, finally, she heard the long creak of the little wooden door, pushed open by Pierre. He was home. He wasn't coming home to her, but to Simone; yet in spite of everything he was home. She stood beside the window for a moment longer, gently removing the pins that held up her long hair. The beach, the sea, were invisible, covered in mist. All that could be heard was a very faint murmur wafting up from the waves, like the sound of someone sighing.

North Carolina Tar Heels
Print without images
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
Panic button on standby for Heels
By C.L. Brown
It's legitimate to start wondering if North Carolina will make the NCAA tournament. Just having the best wins in nonconference play doesn't really matter now -- but could ultimately factor into the equation.
The Season That Shall Not Be Mentioned by North Carolina fans just earned a comparison to what's currently taking place in Chapel Hill.
The Tar Heels fell to 1-4 in ACC play with their
15-point loss at Virginia
on Monday. Carolina hasn't started so slow in league play since going 8-20 in 2001-02. (That season is conveniently blocked out as if it never happened and remains the program's only losing season since Dean Smith's first year as head coach in 1961-62, when he went 8-9.)
James Michael McAdoo and the Heels get three of their next four at home, a welcome sight for a struggling team.
But even at its lowest, UNC still beat Clemson at home. The Tigers venture into the Dean Smith Center on Sunday carrying the albatross of 56 consecutive losses without a win in Chapel Hill.
That's why although this team is teetering very close to panic mode -- i.e. not making the NCAA tournament -- it's not the time to implode just yet.
ESPN's Joe Lunardi had the Heels as a No. 9 seed and trending downward in last week's Bracketology projection -- and that was with an 0-3 start in the ACC. I believe if Carolina breaks even in the ACC, it would still get in the NCAA tournament based on the strength of its marquee nonconference wins over Michigan State, Louisville and Kentucky.
Clemson is the first step to marching toward .500 with three of the next four games at home, and the Tar Heels could be favored in all of them. And they certainly could use the confidence boost that would come from winning consecutive games.
After Clemson, UNC goes to Georgia Tech then gets NC State and Maryland at home. Those are all winnable games. By no means can the Heels take anything for granted, though, considering Wake Forest and Miami alsoĀwere viewed as winnable games.
"It's not just effort -- our kids are trying -- but it's got to be a greater sense of urgency and alertness," coach Roy Williams said after the Virginia game.
Among the many perplexing questions about this team is that their win at then-No. 1 Michigan State remains their only road win. It also remains the Spartans' lone home loss, and in their four home games since they have won by an average of 24.7 points.
Things could end up like the Son of The Season That Shall Not Be Mentioned in 2009-10, when the Heels, ranked in the Top 10 early in the season, ended up in the NIT. Or there is still a chance to be like the 1999-2000 team that underachieved during the regular season only to get the right matchups in the NCAA tournament and advance to the Final Four.
"We've taken advantage of things in the past and we're not right now at this point taking advantage of mistakes when other people make them as well as we need to do it," Williams said. "It's very frustrating, to say the least, but it's college basketball."

Textbooks will say that paper was first invented in China by Cai Lun (also written Ts'ai Lun) in 105 A.D. However, archeological evidence suggest that paper was invented even early than this. One can imagine that if there's paper, then the paper may have been folded as well. There is no evidence of this but, if it was true, then paper folding would have started in China.
That being said, there is very little examples of origami or paper folding in China. The "yuanbao" is probably the oldest example: these are paper folded to look like gold nuggets. The pieces are burnt as offering to the deceased. It is not clear when the tradition of folding yuanboa started (possibly near 1000 AD) but it continues even today.
Another example of paper folding in China is Golden Venture Folding (Chinese Paper Folding or 3D Origami). Here, small pieces of paper are folded into triangular units which are then assembled into large models. No one knows when these triangular units were first made, but they do appear to be of Chinese origin since they were introduced to the USA via illegal Chinese immigrants on the ship, Golden Venture (1993). Read more
strips of Shide
In Japan, paper was expensive and not available to the general public. Paper and paper folding was limited to religious rituals and formal ceremonies.
Some of earliest examples of paper folding (with cutting) are "Shide"; these are zig-zag shaped paper used in purification rituals. Shide can be attached to straw ropes to designate sacred locations (Shimenawa), attached to alters, or attached to a wooden staff and used as purification wands (Gohei). It should be noted that Shide were probably made with fabric, but then later switched to paper. See how to fold Shide here.
In traditional Shinto weddings, paper butterflies were used to adorn sake (Japanese wine) bottles. These butterflies, called "Mecho" and "Ocho", are probably the earliest form of representational origami. Mecho (female) & Ocho (male) precede the paper crane which is synonymous with current day origami. More about Mecho & Ocho here.
In Japan, there are rules of etiquette when it comes to the giving and receiving of gifts. Paper adornments were folded in different ways to symbolize different things. For example:
"Origami Tsuki" was a folded piece of paper that accompanied a valuable gift and it served as a certificate of authenticity.
"Noshi" was a folded piece of paper that accompanied a gift and functioned as a token of good fortune. More information about noshi here.
"Tsutsumi" was a formal gift wrapper. These ceremonial folds were simple and symbolized sincerity and purity.
|This shows a ranma (decorative wood paneling) with six origami models including the paper crane, the classic boat, and a modular cube (1734, see analysis by Koshiro Hatori). These elements suggest that origami was well established in Japan by the 1700's.
The first book published about paper folding was the "Tsutsumi-no Ki" by Sadatake Ise (1764). It contained instructions to fold 13 ceremonial folds such as the noshi and Tsutsumi described above.
The first published book documenting recreational paper folding came in 1797 with the book called "Folding of 1000 Cranes" (Senbazuru Orikata). This book contained brief instructions on how to fold 49 interconnect cranes. See originals here and here (Paula Versnick).
Next, a series of books called "Window on Midwinter" (Kayaragusa, 1845) was printed. These books were about Japanese customs and there are two sections dedicated to paper folding. [Note: due to an error in translation, these books are sometimes mistakenly called Kan No Mado.] There was only one copy of this collection made; it is currently owned by the Asahi Newspaper in Osaka.
The earliest published evidence of paper folding in Europe is probably from the 1490 printing of the book "De Sphaera Mundi" (On the Sphere of the World) by Johannes de Sacrobosco. In this book is a woodcut print of two boats, one of the boats looks very much like the classic origami boat which is sometimes used as a paper hat.
This is a (small) picture of a boat and some historians are not convinced that this is an origami boat. However, if this is indeed an origami boat, then it would suggest that paper folding developed in Europe independent of paper folding in Japan because in 1490, Japan would not have this type of recreational folds.
|In Germany and other parts of Europe, baptism certificates called "Patenbriefs" were given to babies by their godparents. These Patenbriefs were folded in a 3 x 3 or a 4 x 4 grid. Patenbriefs existed in the 17th, and 18th century; though, the oldest ones found on the internet are from the 1750's.
The next textual evidence of origami in the west would be a drawing from a picture-book of a boy sitting in a paper boat floating in a tea cup. This image is from the book "Hanenpoot" by Willem Bilderchijk (1806). The boat is identified as the traditional Chinese Junk.
Interestingly, historians think that the traditional Chinese Junk was not invented in China because it is made with a 4 x 4 grid consistent with the other origami models found in European made with the same windmill base. As well, there is no evidence of the Chinese Junk in the history of paper folding in China or Japan.
|By this time, origami was quite common across parts of Europe. There is mention of people folding paper into various shapes such as kites, boats, and birds. One origami model which is almost definitely from Europe is "Pajarita" (little bird). Origami historian, Vicente Palacios, has accumulated a mass of evidence suggesting that Pajarita was first created in Spain. The same model exists across Europe under different names.
|You can see Pajarita in European paintings from the 1800's such as "The Merrymakers" by French painter, Carolus-Duran (circa 1870). The lady in black is holding Pajarita. See more examples here. To this day, Pajarita is used as the logo for Asociación Española de Papiroflexia (Spanish Paper Folding Association).
Currently, there are thousands of origami books, free origami diagrams on the internet, and origami videos. The art form continues to evolve and develop. Origami styles and techniques include: complex origami, mathematical origami, modular origami, wet folding origami, origami tessellations, and more.

Monday morning I wave good-bye to the family and hop on a plane for Canada. I'm leaving myself notes around my house to remember the passport (first, I need to find it). Canada just doesn't seem so far away that it should require one, but I digress...
If you make it to Toronto for IT360 or San Francisco for LUGRadio Live next week, be sure to drop by the Linux Pro Magazine booth and pick up a sample copy or just say "HI!!!" We had such a great time in Toronto last year that we had to go back again, and LUGRadio looks like it's going to be a blast. (I heart San Francisco.) See you there.
yoHello woman,
I bet you didn't expect to hear from me? Well, next time don't leave your buisiness card with people who will leave it right next to the computer. Rose Kite, your jug is up.
Just kidding. Bring me back a gemstone okay? Oh, and you said you would get me a new shirt from San Fran since I outgrew (and gave away) the old one. I also like small figurines, preferably of myths and fairy tales. Hopefuly I can convine Jud to take me to Nim's Island later today. See ya.
the other human female that lives with you sometimes maybe A.K.A Cleo

Wild Horses In The Great BasinHorses have been part of the American West since the first Spanish explorers brought their European-bred steeds onto the new continent.

The number 40 has great significance in the Bible.
Perhaps best known is the 40 years that the Israelites were condemned to wander in the desert before being permitted entry into the Promised Land.
Maybe this mystical quantity will bear significance as we note, this month, the 40th year since the Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion in America.
Forty years we have lived with the silent, and sometimes not-so-silent, holocaust in our midst as the lives of 55 million innocent and unborn children have been killed, plucked from their journey to enter this world.
Who were they? Who would they have become?
The unmarried graduate student who gave birth to hi-tech impresario and co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, may well have aborted this child had her pregnancy occurred in 1973 rather than 1955.
This past week former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, recovering victim of a crazed gunman, visited, along with her husband Mark Kelly, Newtown, Conn., site of the latest horrible shooting incident.
In their public remarks, they expressed concern that our society has become "desensitized to acts of violence."
Appropriate words, I think, that certainly should be considered in the broadest possible sense in our effort to grasp our willingness to tolerate, even nurture, the open and flourishing presence of evil in our society.
It takes a deadening of the soul to permit this, a state of being "desensitized."
We know it because when those senses are awakened, our indifference and willingness to tolerate evil is pushed back.
When William Wilberforce fought to abolish the slave trade in England, he moved a boatload of the elite into proximity of a slave ship to smell the stench. Their senses were awakened and a major step forward was achieved to end the horror.
Reformed slave trader John Newton composed "Amazing Grace," with the unforgettable line "Was blind but now I see."
If there is good news, it is that, slowly, America seems to be coming to its senses regarding destruction of unborn children.
This week's Time magazine cover story announces "40 years ago abortion-rights activists won an epic victory with Roe v. Wade: They've been losing ever since."
But in noting that ultrasound has reduced the willingness of Americans to tolerate abortion, author of the story Kate Pickert misses the key point when she writes, "Thanks to prenatal ultrasound, Americans now understand what a fetus looks like and that babies born as early as 24 weeks can now survive."
The key point is that the graphic ultrasound picture, showing the growing and moving fetus, has raised awareness that this unborn child is alive and that abortion is murder.
Ultrasound is sensitizing a desensitized American public that has been willing to tolerate this horror over these 40 years.
Wars are not won overnight. Victory is achieved battle by battle.
Wilberforce did not stop slavery, but he stopped the slave trade.
President Abraham Lincoln's first aspiration was not total abolishment of slavery in America, but making it illegal in new entrants to the Union.
A battle before us now, as the American soul awakens to the evil of abortion, is to end the expropriation of U.S. taxpayer funds, which provide almost half the budget of the nation's largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood.
According to Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., Planned Parenthood's latest annual report shows receipt of $542 million from U.S. taxpayers. This is outrageous, particularly when every other day we witness a new confrontation in Washington to find ways to cut our trillion-dollar budget deficit.
Blackburn has introduced legislation to end this funding to large abortion providers. Every American should support this and help win this battle.
And we must continue to work to win the war and awaken the American soul, so that 40 years after Roe v. Wade we bring an end to the scourge of legal abortion in America.
As the politics of the welfare state and moral relativism have increasingly taken control of the country, they have disproportionately hit our minority communities. (comments)
The constitution does not exist to use government power to force the set of values of one private citizen on other. (comments)
If the forces of anger and fear prevail, we will pay a dear price. (comments)
Gallup points to the extent to which voters, particularly Republicans, are being turned off. (comments)
Is it any wonder why so many feel that our government has gotten way out of hand? (comments)
The best circumstances cannot save a sick spirit and sick values. (comments)
The major domestic crises we face today trace to Supreme Court decisions. (comments)
Evidence is overwhelming regarding the central importance of the traditional family to economic success. (comments)
It is the healthy sense of right and wrong that liberals want to destroy. (comments)
Republicans need to be as clear with the country as Sanders with an alternative. (comments)
Huge, unproductive expenditures need to be redirected to encourage the values and behavior that move people out of poverty. (comments)
My five principles for restoring America. (comments)
The institutions -- FHA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac -- and the policies that led to the 2008 meltdown are still in place. (comments)
The D.C. school voucher program is cut and the Congressional Black Caucus does nothing. (comments)
Big-government solutions undermined the traditionally successful values and institutions of the country. (comments)
Liberals reject Judeo-Christian values that transmit the right values and principles and tools to individuals to take personal responsibility to perfect this broken world. (comments)
Unlike Ted Cruz, Rubio does not support amending the U.S. Constitution to protect traditional marriage. (comments)
Democrats' economic decisions are about government, political power and interests rather than allowing what drove the 3.5 percent economic growth from 1950 to 2000 -- free enterprise. (comments)

When my man ran out of this cologne he gave me some money, the empty bottle and asked me would I get him another while I was out shopping. I knew who made the cologne but didn't know the name of it and he didn't either. I tried to find it in several stores and showed them the bottle, no one knew where to find any or what cologne it was. I went back to my sweetie discouraged. I tried on my own to find this cologne so I could surprise him with it the next time I got to see him. I found it here and I'm very happy with the gift set, the great value [...]. When I saw my honey and gave it to him he was thrilled! Thank You ;)

Routing geothermal energy from Iceland would require the world's longest undersea power line. →
The autumn 2014 eruption of Iceland's Bardarbunga stratovolcano was the island's largest volcanic event in centuries. Continue reading →
As the melt of Iceland's glacier speeds up, the land beneath them is also rising faster and faster.
Volcanoes can wreak havoc with our lives and even take them without warning, but to geologists keen observing how Earth regenerates its crust, they can be as educational as they are scary.
A volcanic eruption at Iceland's Holuhraun Lava Field is the largest since the 18th century.
Cauldrons forming near Iceland's Bardarbunga volcano suggest an eruption under the ice has already taken place.
All of Iceland's airports remain open, though the airspace over the eruption site is closed.
Iceland has warned that its largest volcano is in danger of erupting, four years after millions of air travelers were grounded by a huge ash cloud from another peak.

Shell just announced it's giving up on drilling for oil in the Alaskan Arctic. This is a huge victory for millions of people all around the world who opposed the oil giant's controversial plans, which put not only the fragile Arctic ecosystem at risk, but the planet as a whole.
Victory dance! Amazing celebrations outside Shell HQ today, after the oil giant leaves the Arctic. #ArcticRoar pic.twitter.com/SJqZRT2Azt

Victory dance! Amazing celebrations outside Shell HQ today, after the oil giant leaves the Arctic. #ArcticRoar pic.twitter.com/SJqZRT2Azt
Shell would love us to believe the decision to quit the Arctic was purely financial. Low oil prices, high costs, and a poor quality find in Alaska did play a part. But as The Guardian and FT reported, "Privately, senior executives concede that the protests had a big... Read more >
It's time to change the tuna industry.
The global tuna industry is out of control. It is emptying our oceans of fish, harming other marine life and exploiting workers in shocking ways.
Workers report being beaten, abused and even forced to work on ships for months or years at a time. Fishing vessels use methods that wreak havoc on marine life like sharks and sea turtles. Tuna is even being stored in the same containers as the dirty diesel the ships use, then sold onto consumers.
Though the reality of the industry is clear, the world's largest canned tuna company – Thai Union Group – is looking the other way. But we know from hard-hitting media exposés to our own investigative research that Thai Union Group is seriously implicated in horrendous human rights and environmental abuses.... Read more >
Yesterday, at the United Nations meeting in New York, the New Zealand government announced that a vast stretch of its exclusive economic zone will be turned into an ocean sanctuary. It is the first time an area of New Zealand's EEZ has been fully protected from all mining and fishing and will be among the world's largest ocean reserves.
It is a very welcome move to preserve one of the most pristine and unique environments on earth. Well done Prime Minister Key.
Greenpeace has long supported the call for a global network of marine reserves to cover 40 percent of our seas and oceans and was one of the groups supporting protection of the Kermadecs. And the Rainbow Warrior has just completed a campaign in the Pacific exposing overfishing and illegal fishing activity in areas of interna... Read more >
A new Greenpeace report shows how the world can move to 100% renewable energy by 2050. The bad news? It needs political will. The good news? It's already happening!
Climate change deniers and investors take note. Renewable energy is here and it's growing. From large corporations to village Eisenstein's, the growing interest, investments, and inventions into clean energy is this century's "goldrush".
Don't believe the hype? Here are 7 signs that give us hope the Energy [R]evolution is already on its way!

After 3 years of campaigning to stop Arctic drilling, we've just heard that Shell is backing out of drilling in the Alaskan Arctic. Millions of us across the world are breathing a huge sigh of relief after one hell of a fight. The global campaign against Shell's destructive plans has been nothing short of incredible: from 6 women climbing the Shard in London, to kayaks blocking a ship in Portland, to a giant polar bear taking Shell by surprise outside its front door. Here's a reminder of how it all happened.
December 2011. Despite expert opinion to the contrary, Shell launch a cynical PR campaign to convince the world that the Arctic is safe for oil drilling. They tell us "Shell is Arctic ready." But no oil company will ever be ready to drill safely in the Arctic - so across the world we... Read more >
The last few days have, for once, seen world leaders and the global media focussed on the big issues of our time: poverty, inequality and the dangers of climate change. President Obama admitted he acted too late on climate change and agreed with China´s President Xi Jinping on very significant —if still insufficient—additional actions. The Pope called on governments to act, not just declare that they will, the UN agreed on a new to-do list for humanity, including giving energy access to all via more renewable energy and calling for an end to deforestation. Some 30 world leaders agreed at climate lunch that more needs to be done to shift to renewable energy and that they must agree in Paris on a long term clean energy vision. At the same time, thousands around the world joined the latest...
A coalition of environmental organisations is calling for prime minister John Key not to attend the upcoming Paris climate summit, and to pull Tim Groser and the entire New Zealand delegation from the two weeks of talks - see full press release here.
OPINION: Climate change is the challenge of our time; its scale and reach making it unlike anything humanity has faced in the past or is likely to face in future.
As such, Governments will gather in Paris in December in an attempt to reach a global deal limiting warming to 2 degrees and setting countries up for zero-carbon economies by 2050.
Paris can be a watershed moment; the choices made there could determine whether our planet is a viable one on which we can all live. Already, we have Tuvalu's Prime Minister seeking to move his entire ... Read more >
The Broadback Valley is one of the last intact forests in Quebec, Canada. For hundreds of kilometres, there's not a road, not a clearcut, not a mine, not a power line, not a pipeline…just pure wilderness.
And without protection, this pristine forest may soon be gone forever.
That's because earlier this year, the Quebec government failed to ensure adequate protection of the land, opening the door for new roads in this intact forest. The Quebec and Canadian governments are bending over backwards to support the Quebec logging industry—even teaming up with the logging industry to invest in marketing campaigns to try and clean up their image.
But hope is not lost. The Broadback Valley is the ancestral land of the Cree Nation of Waswanipi, an Indigenous community that has vowed to fight ...

Welcome to the Greenwood Guides website! Our chief (but not sole) purpose in life is to recommend great places to stay in South Africa. To this end we spend 5 months each year researching and visiting guest-houses, lodges, B&Bs, farm stays and self-catering accommodation across South Africa. We select only those places that excel in character, friendliness and the hostly arts and all the descriptions are written by us not the owners.
B&Bs, game lodges, farms, guesthouses, self-catering cottages and uncategorisable others
…unstuffy, humorous hosts who treat their guests like friends, cherished gardens, good food, untouristy places, dirt roads, the lived-in look, the unusual, the artistic,the eco-friendly, creative interior design, historic buildings, modern architecture, big baths, powerful showers, imaginative breakfasts, open fires, real coffee, freshly-squeezed orange juice…
…conference centres, identikit bedrooms, chain hotels; hosts who disappear irretrievably after your arrival… or never leave you alone; swirly, frilly, lacy décor; the smelly, the over-priced, the sickeningly cutesy; fake smiles, hatchet faces and steely eyes!
It's a rare pleasure for us to stay somewhere on holiday and to experience it over a period of days. And Moontide was a palpable hit with all five of us. Its position is hard to beat, right on the banks of the lagoon, its wooden decks shaded by 400-year-old milkwood trees.…

By Ben Klayman
DETROIT, Oct 10 (Reuters) - When General Motors Co Vice Chairman Steve Girsky slid into a Cadillac SRX luxurycrossover vehicle specially equipped to drive itself, hisreaction echoed that of many consumers as more self-drivingtechnologies are rolled out.
"It's a little unsettling at first when you take your handsoff the wheel and then it's one of these 'Oh wow' moments,"Girsky said in a Sept. 27 interview about the vehicle he testdrove over a year ago.
While consumers may envision a George Jetson-like futurewhere cars steer themselves as "drivers" read iPads, thatreality is still years away for mass production cars.
What most automakers and suppliers see near term is carsequipped with "driver assistance" features that help in unsafeconditions, prevent accidents and take a lot of the stress outof driving.
These features will be stepping stones towards a fully-driverless car.
One of the first situations mass-production cars can handlewithout a driver is bumper-to-bumper traffic. Some cars arealready equipped to steer themselves into a parking space.Others warn drivers if they are over the speed limit and brakethe vehicle automatically to avoid a collision.
Companies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars tokeep up with consumers' demand for such technology. Get it rightand car buyers will pay thousands of dollars for the addedfeatures, analysts said.
"If automakers build it and can explain the valueproposition, consumers will come," said Gary Silberg, nationalauto industry leader for consulting firm KPMG, which released astudy Thursday about consumer attitudes toward self-drivingcars.
KPMG found most Americans surveyed were receptive to theidea of a driverless car. The results raised red flags for theauto industry as consumers ranked Google, which has aself-driving car program, and Apple as brands they wouldtrust most for such vehicles.
While that raises the question whether tech companies couldbecome industry rivals, Girsky and other executives saidautomakers were just as likely to partner with tech companies ascompete with them.
The KPMG report was in line with global studies that show agrowing number of people are receptive to the idea ofself-driving cars.
Earlier this year, Cisco Systems, the world'slargest network equipment maker, released research showing 57percent of global consumers would ride in a car entirelycontrolled by technology. Cisco is working with German autosupplier Continental AG to develop connected vehicletechnology.
In North America, U.S. technology research firm ABI Researchsees the first fully driverless vehicles appearing at thebeginning of the next decade and reaching more than 10 millionshipping annually in 2032.
"It's moving faster than even I imagined," said Larry Burns,GM's former research chief and an advisor to Google, whichexpects to release its driverless technology in the next fiveyears. "Every board of every major auto company needs to beasking their leadership, 'What are you doing about this wholephenomenon?'"
Among the latest automakers to make predictions were NissanMotor Co and Mercedes parent Daimler AG, whichboth said they plan to start selling self-driving cars by 2020.
Elon Musk, electric carmaker Tesla Motors Inc's billionaire chief executive, sees autonomous cars handling 90percent of the driving within three years. However, he said theidea of building a car that controls itself under allcircumstances was too ambitious. [ID: nL2N0HE00S]
GM believes semi-autonomous cars will be available laterthis decade, but fully self-driving cars are much further out.In his test drive, Vice Chairman Girsky got a taste of a featuredubbed "Super Cruise" that is capable of fully automaticsteering, braking and speed control in certain highway driving.
KPMG, which previously forecast self-driving cars hittingdealers in 2019 with a more developed infrastructure in 2025,found consumer interest jumped significantly if the car includedthe ability to turn that technology on or off, and it meantsignificantly lower commute times due to dedicated highwaylanes. Those surveyed were willing to pay a premium of about 15percent, or almost $4,000 on a $25,000 vehicle equipped withsuch technology.
Some executives say automakers are held to a higher standardfor their technology than other companies.
"The consumer will accept that Siri on the iPhone works halfthe time, but if you put something in the car they want it towork 100 percent of the time," said Delphi Automotive Chief Technology Officer Jeff Owens. "That is the dichotomywe're facing."
With liability issues to iron out - no automaker wants to beblamed for a driverless car accident - auto executives said nocar in the near term will be fully self driving. In other words,the consumer will be sitting in the driver seat, ready to takeover.
"We don't want people to think that it's OK to drink anddrive, or read papers while driving," Toru Futami, Nissan'sengineering director of advanced technology and research saidlast week. "Ultimately, the responsibility lies with thedriver."
Another finding in the KPMG study should scare autoexecutives: engines, transmissions and styling ranked at thebottom of the list of things that most mattered in aself-driving car.
With car performance and quality becoming almost uniformacross auto brands, driver assistance technology has become afactor that can make one vehicle stand out from another.
As this moves forward, and cars become loaded with driverassistance technology, it remains to be seen whether outsideplayers like Google and Apple could directly compete withautomakers on driverless cars.
Ford Motor Co Chairman Bill Ford worries about theimpact on car manufacturers if consumers love the technology inthe vehicles more than the vehicles themselves.
"As we've added more and more convenience and cool stuff incars, we've taken away their ability to love the car," he saidin June 2012. "There's no turning back the clock and that'swhere we're going and that's where we should be going, but it'sone aspect that I actually feel a little sorry about."

TOOL NEWS: Rockwell shows new cordless tools to WOOD Magazine
If you're not familiar with the line of new Rockwell tools—sold at Menards home centers as well as online retailers such as Amazon.com—then let me bring you up to date. For decades, Rockwell was one of the standards in woodworking machinery, and later changed its name to Delta Machinery (after starting out as Delta back in the 1930s). Now another U.S.-based company is licensing the Rockwell name for its own brand of portable power tools.

While exploring the possibility to realize graphene-like nanostructures of boron, carbon's neighbor in the periodic table, a team of chemical engineers has discovered an entirely new family of 2-D compounds. They demonstrated exfoliation of a well-known superconductor magnesium diboride, a layered material that consists Mg atoms sandwiched in between born honeycomb planes. These nanosheets can be an order of magnitude more transparent compared to their cousin graphene.Posted: Jun 17th, 2015
The key challenges associated with the development of high performance MEMS and NEMS resonators for RF wireless communication and sensing applications are the isolation of energy-dissipating mechanisms and scaling of the device volume in the nanoscale size-range. Researchers show that graphene-electrode based piezoelectric NEMS resonators operate at their theoretical 'unloaded' frequency-limits, with significantly improved electromechanical performance compared to metal-electrode counterparts, despite their reduced volumes.Posted: Jun 16th, 2015
Graphene acts as an excellent conductor to electric fields along its flat surface and as an insulator perpendicular to the surface. Due to this anisotropic nature of graphene's conductivity, graphene flakes have potential applications in nanoscale switches and nano-electromechanical systems. Controlling the orientation of graphene flakes therefore has drawn a great deal of research interest in nanotechnology. In new work, researchers have developed a technique to control the orientation of graphene flakes at the nanoscale by using a nematic liquid crystal platform.Posted: May 25th, 2015
Magnetic field sensors are in very high demand for precise measurements of position, proximity and motion. The most commonly used Hall Effect devices are fabricated with silicon. The sensitivities of these sensors - voltage and current - depend on the device materials electronic properties such as charge carrier mobility and density. However, for futuristic advanced applications higher sensitivity Hall sensors are required than can be achieved with silicon. Researchers now have set a new world record for the sensitivity of Hall sensors using highest quality graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride.Posted: May 21st, 2015
Counter intuitive to our idea of 'perfection equals best performance', researchers have shown that defects in nanocarbons could provide a breakthrough for increasing the quantum capacitance. By subjecting graphene layers to a reactive-ion etching process, the team has poked holes into graphene to create holey graphene, which can change the microscopic distribution of electrons and thereby increase the quantum capacitance of graphene by at least fourfold.Posted: May 5th, 2015
From a 3D printing perspective, graphene has been previously incorporated into 3D printed materials, but most of these constructs comprise no greater than about 20 volume % of the total solid of the composite, resulting in electrical properties that are significantly less than what has been achieced in new work. Here, researchers show that high volume fraction graphene composite constructs can be formed from an easily extrudable liquid ink into multi-centimeter scaled objects.Posted: Apr 28th, 2015
While the actual toxicity of Bisphenol A (BPA) is still debated, the direct measurement of BPA is difficult because of the weak response given by conventional electrochemical sensors, and current optical analysis methods are susceptible to the influence of interfering substances. A novel aptamer/graphene oxide FRET biosensor now provides a method for the rapid detection and risk assessment of BPA with high sensitivity and selectivity.Posted: Apr 13th, 2015
Molybdenum disulfide's (MoS2) semiconducting ability, strong light-matter interaction and similarity to the carbon-based graphene makes it of interest to scientists as a viable alternative to graphene in the manufacture of electronics, particularly photoelectronics. In particular, MoS2 has excellent optical properties when deposited as a single, atom-thick layer - unlike graphene, it emits light when excited; albeit relatively poorly. In order to realize the potential of atomically thin MoS2 as a nanoscale active material in a light source, a considerable enhancement of its emission efficiency is necessary.Posted: Mar 12th, 2015

You never want to leave.
For me, the campus and the people -- second to none!
Stonehill academics cannot be beat! Small class sizes with professors that genuinely care about the students.
If you don't drink, you don't fit in. Plus, you have to travel 30+ minutes for the nearest mall, movie theater, etc.
Franklin Pierce and Stonehill start their students early with career and internship preparation.
