	USS Clueless - Tolerating the intolerable
		France had one of the largest imperial colony systems in the world, with colonies in Canada and Louisiana (named after one of the myriad King Louis's of France) and the Caribbean, holding large parts of Africa, as well as Indochina and parts of the Arab world.
		France was one of the nations which participated in the exploitation of China in the 19th century; they helped put down the Boxer Rebellion.
		France lost its colonial empire after WWII just as the other European nations did, but it was the only one which fought major wars in that period to try to hold onto them (especially in Viet Nam and in parts of Africa), rather than just giving up and letting them go.

	matter - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about matter
		All matter is made up of atoms, which in turn are made up of elementary particles; it ordinarily exists in one of three physical states: solid, liquid, or gas.
		The earliest theory of matter of any importance is that of Democritus and Lucretius, who supposed that matter consisted of hard atoms that could neither be created, destroyed, nor altered in any way.
		The kinetic theory of matter, the theory of the motion of these atoms and molecules in gases, liquids, and solids, successfully accounted quantitatively for many of the phenomena of gases, liquids, and solids.

		Upon his return from France he was appointed to the position of secretary of the Board of Agriculture in the British government in which capacity he organized the collection and preparation of agricultural surveys of the English counties.
		The first itineraries of France seem to have been inspired by the Englishman's example—I allude to the voluminous works of Millin and Vaysse de Villiers published in the early part of the present century; the departmental system had not as yet created a French map, or, in the strict acceptance of the word, French geography.
		Were a third enthusiast to take the matter in hand, and pare down the abridgment by yet a sixth, we should doubtless have a compendium of husbandry adapted to every library, and perhaps the only work of the kind ever produced by a single pen.

		That's inherent in the fact that France has a veto in the UNSC, and Germany doesn't, but it's also because Chirac and the French seem to have much more commitment to this, as well as because Schröder is extremely weak inside Germany.
		So the point was to try to create a situation where France would veto the final resolution even though no rational person in the US and UK, not to mention elsewhere in the world, could avoid the conclusion that their decision had nothing to do with the real issues.
		France, to counter that, had to make more and more clear that they'd make sure it failed no matter what, so that the swing voters knew that not supporting it would not actually be as much of a risk.

		The three names were bestowed by the twelfth century French poet Jean Bodel, author of the Chanson de Saisnes, a chanson de geste in which he wrote:
		About 1215 Bertrand de Bar-sur-Aube, in the introductory lines to his Girart de Vienne, set out a subdivision of the Matter of France into three cycles, which have been adopted by many modern critics as a useful means of grouping the chansons de geste.
		For a list of chansons that can be attached to each of these cycles, see Chanson de geste.

	CFHT Gives First Glimpse of Dark Matter Distribution
		The cosmic distribution of this dark matter is difficult to study since astronomical equipment can only detect luminous objects, primarily distant galaxies, that constitute a small fraction of the total mass in the large volume of the visible Universe.
		The dark matter is concentrated into a web-like distribution of filaments that intersect at dense nodes where great clusters of galaxies are expected to form and become visible.
		In the absence of intervening matter, the light would travel on straight lines but in the presence of matter, the paths of the rays are evidently deflected by the gravitational effects of the clumpy matter (the breaks in the yellow lines illustrate the light passing behind a clump of dark matter).

		The mass of the galaxies is shown in red, the mass of the dark matter in blue.
		The study reveals that the density of dark matter on large scales drops sharply with distance from the cluster centre.
		As Richard Ellis says: "Although theorists have predicted the form of dark matter in galaxy clusters from numerical simulations based on the effects of gravity alone, this is the first time we have convincing observations to back them up.

		Frequently, however, the religious perspectives of women were held to be unorthodox by those in power, and the mystical visions of such authors as Julian of Norwich and Hildegard of Bingen provide insight into a part of the medieval experience less comfortable for the institutions that ruled Europe at the time.
