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）。三个爱跳舞爱运动爱健身的富有寡妇们，生活在一起，个性截然不同。一个为了获得三人共享所有权的网球俱乐部，会弹吉他的风流英俊的男人费劲心思，换装分别诱惑三人，尽享鱼水之欢之后，更施展骗婚大计……三个女人一台戏，再加上一个情场高手，爆笑连连，欢乐多多。。乔纳森·莱斯·梅耶斯、埃米尔·赫斯基、帕斯·贝加([对她说])、杰里米·皮文([明日边缘])将携手出演黑色惊悚片[美国之夜](American Night，暂译)。影片将是Alessio Jim Della Valle的导演处女作，Valle亲自撰写剧本。影片讲述迈克尔·鲁比诺(赫斯基饰)刚刚成为纽约黑手党的头目，但他最大的梦想是将自己的一生奉献给绘画，并成为伟大的艺术家。艺术品经销商约翰·卡普兰(梅耶斯饰)的生活似乎一片混乱，但他仍拥有最能发现世界各地假货的双眼。当安迪·沃霍尔的《粉红玛丽莲》被偷走时，陌生的两人有了交集，而这一切也将颠覆他们的生活。。
