DARKNESS” was a word Lyn Lusi was used to. Western journalists
instinctively reached for it when they came to her hospital in Goma in the
Democratic Republic of Congo, in Joseph Conrad’s “heart of darkness”.
Goma itself was a black and grey place, a town built on volcanic basalt
tough as broken glass through which green shoots struggled to grow. She knew
; she gardened in it. But the real heart of... 阅读全帖 |

Thursday, 7th November—
Beyond the Indian hamlet, upon a forlorn strand, I happened on a trail of
recent footprints.
Through rotting kelp, sea cocoa-nuts & bamboo, the tracks led me to their
maker, a White man,
his trow-zers & Pea-jacket rolled up, sporting a kempt beard & an outsized
Beaver, shoveling
& sifting the cindery sand with a teaspoon so intently that he noticed me

主给美国的话

2001年9月3日
今日主如此说：
我早先透过我的仆人先知所说的审判己经在门前的台阶了。蹂躏、悲丧、死亡和毁坏即
将临到。我对世上各国说，我强烈的愤怒已临到你们，注意我所作的。我将开始在你领
土的沿岸进入你的国家的门户，实行大变动的事件，这事件作将为这世代和其他世代所
见证。我将带着这世上前所未闻的悔改讯息来到权力的座位。我将在我显现给世人之前
的最后日子，从葡萄中压榨出酒，从世上积聚小麦并分别出稗子，将之用无法仰制的火
烧毁。我对人类最后请求的日子即将开始。人们自认为应拥有高于他们所应有的权势及
力量的斗争就在这里。
我要对纽约市说：这城市很快就要陷入一片狂乱。这个自媚自喜的(金融或股票)市场将
要被震惊。我一再差派人传递讯息警告你们这些事件，呼叫你们在我用强力的拳头压碎
你们的市场之前要悔改，但你们认为未来会像过去光荣的日子而我行我素。但时日不再
，将要来临的这一天己经在门前台阶，这里将在一瞬间被摧毁。前一天，你还安然自在

One of various ways of organizing work that economists have identified, a

independent research career, tenure, a named chair, scientific renown,
awards--through competition,"writes Richard Freeman and co-authors.
Tournament markets amplify "small differences in productivity into large

发帖数: 224 | 9 According to Wu, a researcher with a w-index of 1 or 2 is someone who "has
learned the rudiments of a subject". A w-index of 3 or 4 characterizes a
researcher who has mastered “the art of scientific activity”, while "
outstanding individuals" are those with a w-index of 10. Wu reserves the
accolade of "top scientists" to those with a w-index of 15 after 20 years or
20 after 30 years.

In my heyday
Young girls wrote to me
Everybody seemed to have time to devote to me
Everyone I saw all swore they knew me
Once upon a song
Main attraction
Couldn't buy a seat
This celebrity celebrities would die to meet
I've had every accolade bestowed on me
And so you see
If I never sing another song
It shouldn't bother me
I've had my share of fame
You know my name
If I never sing another song
Or take another bow
I would get by
But I'm not |
