Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。一颗诡异的星球突然出现，让地球的动植物进化成了能毁灭人类的恐怖怪物。 在存亡之际，人类意外发现了登录这颗星球的方式，并发现在这星球上能获得对抗怪物的力量。 于是人类为了文明延续，开启了异星探索时代……。某天，在孤儿院儿一起长大的四人组老三斯隆告诉图灵，在孤儿院时相依为命的好兄弟大哥千手在龙城虎门镇的地下赌场出老千被抓，被打断了双腿，还欠了黑道大佬坤沙一大笔钱，且必须在七天内偿还五百万，否则就要以命抵偿。图灵最初很气愤，为了救大哥，图灵和斯隆找到了老四星熙一起商量办法，斯隆和星熙觉得只有通过赌博才是唯一能迅速筹到钱的解决办法，但恨透赌博的图灵一口拒绝；另一边，喜欢图灵的柯蓝知道此事后拿出了自己的私房钱，想帮图灵分担千手的欠款，但是图灵拒绝了柯蓝的帮助。通过与司徒校长的一番谈话，同时也为了救出自己的大哥千手，图灵“妥协”最终决定回到那个回报最高风险也最大的赌场。 图灵，斯隆，星熙，千手，柯蓝一行五人组成牌王团队来到了赌城澳门，此时离还债的期限仅剩五天，大家各司其职开始了掘金计划。可惜，因为童年的阴影，图灵对赌博有着无法愈合的恐惧和反感，在第一天的赌桌上...。
