La ville de Champigny-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne) inaugure le 22 juin 2008 un mémorial en hommage à l’immigration portugaise au Parc départemental du Plateau.
Arrivés en France par milliers dans les années 1960-1970, les Portugais, fuyant le régime de Salazar, ont fortement marqué le paysage et l’histoire de l’Hexagone et de Champigny-sur-Marne.
La ville marnaise est ainsi devenue un lieu d’ancrage pour la majorité d’entre eux, une nouvelle terre d’accueil après un exil douloureux et forcé. Champigny-sur-Marne fut un des premiers “berceaux“ des Portugais en France au point d’être baptisée “deuxième capitale du Portugal“.
Entre 1956 et 1972, plus de dix mille personnes venues du Portugal sont arrivées à Champigny-sur-Marne rechercher la sécurité, un emploi, une vie meilleure. Ils y ont trouvé un bidonville qui dura vingt ans avant d’être résorbé grâce aux efforts de la ville, à l’aube des années 70.
Quarante ans plus tard, associations portugaises, ambassade du Portugal et municipalité se sont associées pour rendre hommage à cette part de l’histoire. Une mémoire que les Campinois, notamment les plus jeunes, se sont déjà appropriée. Un retour dans le temps qui met en lumière les apports de ceux qui, venus d’ailleurs, ont d’abord connu la misère comme terre d’accueil.
Et, symbole, c’est sur l’un des emplacements de l’ancien bidonville, aujourd’hui devenu l’un des plus beaux parcs du département, que sera inauguré, le 22 juin 2008, le mémorial en hommage à l’immigration portugaise.

As will be more fully shown toward the close of this chapter (infra, p. 81), nature's processes are not teleologic but genetic. The cause not only always precedes the effect, but it immediately precedes it. The effect is in immediate proximity to the cause. The changes take place by differentials, and all advance is through differentiation. Differentiation is distinguished from variation in that the changes are necessarily produced by means of differences too minute to be severally taken account of. It is a molecular process. The motion of one molecule is directly imparted to others. The single effect is imperceptible; but multiplication and repetition, number and time, accomplish the results observed. An initial motion inhering in the primary form of matter(1*) is therefore the sole source of all causation and the true “first cause.” The wholly unconscious and unintelligent character of nature's processes may be safely concluded from their genetic stamp. Intelligence works quite otherwise. The inseparable characteristic of conscious action is that it is teleological. Cause and effect are remote from each other. Means are adapted to distant ends. The chain of causal impulses connecting antecedents with consequents is not direct. The advantages are proportioned to the interval. The more remote the effect from the cause, the greater may the disproportion be made between the cause and the effect. Such causes are called “final causes," and the same amount of energy expended in them may be made to multiply the effect to almost any required degree. Nature never employs the "final cause" but only the "efficient cause." But the tendency to organization which has existed on this planet for a vast period, in connection with the increasing adaptation of the conditions now found upon its surface from the time when it assumed a cooled exterior to the present time, has gradually evolved a class of forms called animals, in which the remarkable quality denominated consciousness (vol. i, pp. 366, 376) is manifested. This quality exhibits all conceivable degrees, from that seen in the monad to that found in enlightened man, and throughout this series the capacity for teleological action has steadily and uniformly kept pace with the degree of intelligence. We are therefore forced to conclude that consciousness and intelligence are products of organization; that organized beings are, as it were, devices for the concentration and intensification of molecular activities (vol. i, pp. 324, 354); and that mind and thought are among the necessary products of such concentrated and intensified activities - the properties of matter thus organized. The "soul of truth," therefore, in the belief that the universe possesses consciousness, intelligence, and mind, consists in the fact that the primary activities of diffused matter - activities which are never divorced from it....
A simple mechanical device is often sufficient to convert a highly injurious element
into a remarkably beneficial one, and, by here repressing a harmful influence
and there creating a useful one, increasingly high degrees
of correspondence may be attained, and more and more perfect conditions of existence brought about. In the control of nature as in its study, there are no arbitrary limitations.
The right is always co-extensive with the power, and only a false,
unnatural view of the case can erect any other barrier to man's invasion of nature's domain. Such are some of the most general relations subsisting between man and nature, without a clear conception of which no basis can exist for the science of Dynamic Sociology. From these general considerations we may now pass to others of a more special character. Lamarck seems to have been the first clearly to recognize and systematically to formulate the laws of the interdependence and mutual relations of living organisms and their surrounding influences. The latter factor he characterizes in various ways and denotes by several appropriate terms. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire had used the expression monde ambiant, to which Lamarck adds that of milieu,(1*) giving it a wide sense

of that special application of this faculty called ingenuity, or genius, from which all the other intellectual manifestations are derived. The incentive to the exercise of this faculty has been unsatisfied desires. The result of the successive inventions has been to satisfy those desires.

In the year 2022, the population has grown to forty million people in New York City alone. Most housing is dilapidated and overcrowded, and the homeless fill the streets and line the fire escapes and stairways of buildings. Food as we know it in present times is a rare and expensive commodity. Most of the world's population survives on processed rations produced by the massive Soylent Corporation, including Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow, which are advertised as "high-energy vegetable concentrates." The newest product is Soylent Green, a small green wafer which is advertised as being produced from "high-energy plankton." It is much more nutritious and palatable than the red and yellow varieties, but, like most other food, it is in short supply, which often leads to food riots
