THE BOOK OF BLOOD THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN THE YATTERING AND JACK PIG BLOOD AND STARSHINE IN THE HILLS, THE CITIES THE BOOK OF BLOOD THE DEAD HAVE highways. They run, unerring lines of ghost-trains, of dream-carriages, across the wasteland behind our lives, bearing an endless traffic of departed souls. Their thrum and throb can be heard in the broken places of the world, through cracks made by acts of cruelty, violence and depravity. Their freight, the wandering dead, can be glimpsed when the heart is close to bursting, and sights that should be hid
HIS NAME WAS THORNE. In the ancient language of the runes, it had been longer-Thornevald. But when he became a blood drinker, his name had been changed to Thorne. And Thorne he remained now, centuries later, as he lay in his cave in the ice, dreaming. When he had first e to the frozen land, he had hoped he would sleep eternally. But now and then the thirst for blood awakened him and using the Cloud Gift, he rose into the air, and went in search of the Snow Hunters. He fed off them, careful never to take too much blood from any one so that none died on account of hi
She was sitting there at her glass, at the fashionable going-out hour, trying to decide between a cluster of crystal grapes and a live gardenia as a shoulder decoration, when someone knocked at the suite door, outside across the adjoining reception room. Whatever her decision was in the matter, she knew it would have a city-wide effect. It meant that for the next few weeks hundreds of young women would either all be wearing clusters of crystal grapes or live gardenias. It was hard to believe that just a couple of brief years ago no one had cared a rap what she stuc
Inasmuch as the scene of this story is that historic pile, Belpher Castle, in the county of Hampshire, it would be an agreeable task to open it with a leisurely description of the place, followed by some notes on the history of the Earls of Marshmoreton, who have owned it since the fifteenth century. Unfortunately, in these days of rush and hurry, a novelist works at a disadvantage. He must leap into the middle of his tale with as little delay as he would employ in boarding a moving tramcar. He must get off the mark with the smooth swiftness of a jack-rabbit surprised wh
Up at the unpeopled borderland of cloudy heaven, where unending wind drove eternal snow between and over high gray rocks, the gods and goddesses were gathering. In the grayness just before dawn, their tall forms came like smoke out of the gray and smoking wind, to take on solidity and detail. Unperturbed by wind or weather, their garments flapping in the shrieking howl of air, they stood upon the rooftop of the world and waited as their numbers grew. Steadily more powers streaked across the sky, bringing reinforcement. The shortest of the standing figures was taller than
最近,美国宇航局又陷入了民众的质疑之中,因为距离“阿波罗11号登上月球”40周年纪念日越来越临近了。40年前,阿波罗11号登月成功,曾一度让世界震惊,当阿姆斯特朗走出登月舱迈出一小步时,那一步成为人类历史上最神奇的一步。先公布点大家都知道的信息,给没看过的科普一下然而,多年以后,越来越多的人觉得阿姆斯特朗那一步是在内华达州美军的绝密禁区“51区”完成的,据说,那是一个鸟不生蛋的梦幻之地,最适合编织这种登月骗局。现在,有6000万美国人认为自己被美国当局忽悠了,因为当时的设备根本不可能实现登月这样的伟大创举——60年代的计算机运行速度还不及现在的家用电脑,而当时登月车的导航系统甚至远不如现在家用桥车的导航系统,那种破烂设备怎么可能把一个人带月球又把他安全带回呢?...

内容提要:《陈抟神数秘旨》最初为太华派祖师陈抟所传。包含了太华派部分内门数理和外门数理的精华,简单而且实用,绝非世面上的江湖套入法和虚假神数。广大易友只须按照书中介绍的口诀、说明及实例即可掌握铁板神数和邵子神数的运算方法,并可以独立的演算出条文序数来,是指导神数爱好者登入神数殿堂的最佳书籍。序—古镜拂尘悲喜狂日月相推,寒暑交替,历经四载,终将此书《陈抟神数秘旨》写成。多年来我寻找祖师的遗作,破译先师的偈语真谛。体验到庄子所说:“大知闲闲,小知间间”。特别是我在去年看到神州五号航船飞还,每一步都是数以百计的数字计算。我们生处在数字包围的世界—大至宇宙星球的速度,小至人体的血压、心律、血球,无一不是可以测算的。其实,万物皆有数,早在两千多年前古人就提出“象、理、数”精辟的论点。人的一切其实也是在数字之中,由诞生、成长、发展、发跡、发达到衰亡,乃至与人的一切组合:父母...
第一章 寂寞白领堪比“食男兽” 1、白领傍老板,只为事业不为钱(1)口述:肖梦媛 性别:女年龄:30岁 职业:营销总监整理:耶马我为爱情付出一切,爱情离开我却穷困潦倒大学刚毕业那会儿,我交过一个男朋友。他的事业是那种需要到处走动的职业,经常会去某个城市住上一段时间,我们聚少离多。后来终于抵不过相思,我毅然地辞了职,开始跟着他走南闯北。他的收入不低,养我完全足够,所以我们的小日子过得倒也惬意。可是后来我发现他和他的女助手之间总有一些暧昧,经我查证后得知,原来他们的这种关系,早已在我们聚少离多的那些时候就已经开始了。我接受不了,提出了分手,他挽留我的理由却让我更心冷了。他说:“小梦,你想清楚,你现在没有工作,什么也没有。你已经过惯了优越的生活,而我恰恰能够让你衣食无忧。你知道我是真的爱你的,你那么计较这些细节干什么呢?我和她只不过是为了工作上的默契,逢场作戏而已,你...

这个专业应该很不错,很有发展前景,但是它和其它一些专业相比,就属于那种搞研发类的,需要你自己去开发、创造作项目,不像模具专业的,现成的机器,你只用守在机器旁就行了。但是你要是没有研发的天赋或是属于那种没有灵感思维不太灵活的,我个人认为你不适合报。举个例子,你家住5楼,让你设计一个供水系统,每天早上6:00自动供水,9:00自动断水,如果你只是学了一些基本知识,你不会开发,死板硬套,你设计出来的产品估计很少有人问津。这个专业大部分都是搞类似这个的,你要靠你的设计吃饭,没很好的设计,前途堪忧!不过这个专业也不都是搞开发的,还可以维修、组装、调试等等,应该也可以,这个专业对数学能力要求比较高,因为用到的数学知识很多,那你可以针对自己的情况看是否合适填报这个专业!我个人觉得专业前景对你不重要,重要的你自己是否喜欢,一个热门专业学的比较差的人和一个不太热的专业学的比较好的人相比,...

了解自我,就必须要了解自己的气质和性格,心理学家对此进行了深入的研究,本文主要探讨气质和性格与将来你要从事的职业有什么关系?可能有些同学并没完全意识这一点,为什么现在社会上有许多心理评测工具,为什么越来越多的用人单位运用心理测评工具招聘人才呢?显然,心理测评对于选聘人才越来越重要了,个性特征与职业关系也越来越密切,准确地说,职业对于人的个性特征需要越来越严格,气质和性格类型不同,适合从事的职业也往往不同,所以,需要我们进一步了解他们之间的关系。一、气质类型气质是人们典型的稳定的个性心理特征之一,是人的心理活动和行为方式在程度、速度、稳定性、灵活性等动态特征的综合表现。气质类型是指在一类人身上共有的或相似的心理活动动力特征的有规律的结合。不同的人有不同的气质类型。心理学研究表明,气质类型不能决定一个人的社会价值和成就的高低,也无所谓绝对的好与坏之分;然而,气质对于...
