On Sept. 25, 1957, with 300 United States Army troops standing guard, nine black children were escorted to Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, days after unruly white crowds had forced them to withdraw.
An Apocalyptic Moment
By then Mr. Jobs had made his much-chronicled 1979 visit to Xerox’s research center in Palo Alto, where he saw the Alto, an experimental personal computer system that foreshadowed modern desktop computing. The Alto, controlled by a mouse pointing device, was one of the first computers to employ a graphical video display, which presented the user with a view of documents and programs, adopting the metaphor of an office desktop.
Chain-wielding sport league based on a cult post-apocalyptic film
Jugger was inspired by the cult 1989 Australian film “The Blood of the Heroes” by David Webb Peoples and is a hybrid sport that is one part lacrosse, two parts medieval battlefield slaughter. In Germany, the sport has about 30 teams with names like Rigor Mortis and Death Stare who play in a league. Pulse visited the 'battlefield' in Berlin for the last game of the Jugger season.

What to Get the Person who has Everything
There are only a few shopping days left until Christmas, and the question on many peoples' minds is "What do I get the person who seems to have everything?". How about a Manorial title? The days of the feudal system are long gone - at least in Europe where it flourished in the Middle Ages. The hierarchy of serfs, vassals, and lords of the manor, collapsed back in the 17th century. But remnants remain - especially in Britain. Old feudal titles are frequently bought and sold there for fun. However, this apparently harmless trade has led to a bizarre and bitter dispute. A clash between a modern day Lord of the Manor and his unruly serfs.

不過，有些索引與內文對應之問題，譬如說， winnowing 揚穀，只有約略之對應；又，不知何故刪掉少數條目。譬如說， Pierce the Ploughman's Crede --此條在內文中翻譯為《透視梨把式的信條》，不知所云。
其實，它是英國中古文學中最著名的詩篇，還有翻譯本：
