The wind swept the tattered rubish along the cracked road, all was silent, all was dark. Lingering within the grafitted buildings hid the children, the weak. Outside gang war raged, this was a different time, all left was children. You died at the age of sixteen, nobody knew what happened, you just disapeared without a trace, one second you were there, then next gone. It all happened in a blink of the eye, the people aged over sixteen collapsed to the floor then faded into nothing, animals mutated into deformed evolved creatures, children gained power and their minds twisted. They fight for power but things will change... [more]

In the land of Maldos, the birth of the fraternal twins Bernum and Malkia was considered as a sign of perfection. Perfectly balanced. Yin and yang. But the birth of their deformed younger brother, Dennik, and the death of their mother was considered the ultimate of curses and the child was regarded as a demon by all except for his father, brother, and sister. The twins vow to learn magic to find a cure for Dennik--but in Maldos the equality of yin and yang is a facade. Only boys are allowed to openly study magic--so while Bernum goes off to the magic school Malkia must secretly study under a witch posing as a midwife. All goes well until Malkia's letters cease--and Bernum must find out what has happend to her. For what can harm a witch can just as easily harm a magician. [more]

The Old Curiosity Shop tells the story of Nell Trent, a beautiful and virtuous young girl of "not quite fourteen." An orphan, she lives with her maternal grandfather (whose name is never revealed) in his shop of odds and ends. Her grandfather loves her dearly, and Nell does not complain, but she lives a lonely existence with almost no friends her own age. Her only friend is Kit, an honest boy employed at the shop, whom she is teaching to write. Secretly obsessed with ensuring that Nell does not die in poverty as her parents did, her grandfather attempts to provide Nell with a good inheritance through gambling at cards. He keeps his nocturnal games a secret, but borrows heavily from the evil Daniel Quilp, a malicious, grotesquely deformed, hunchbacked dwarf moneylender. In the end, he gambles away what little money they have, and Quilp seizes the opportunity to take possession of the shop and evict Nell and her grandfather. Her grandfather suffers a breakdown that leaves him bereft of his wits, and Nell takes him away to the Midlands of England, to live as beggars. [more]

Joining of dissimilar materials is one of the most essential needs of industries. There are various welding methods that have been developed to obtain suitable joints in various applications. However, friction welding is a solid state joining technique which utilizes the heat generated rubbing of two faying surfaces for the coalescence of the material. In the present study, an experimental setup was designed in order to achieve friction welding of plastically deformed Al 6082 and Al 6063 aluminium. Samples were welded under different burn off lengths and different rotational speeds. The tensile strength, impact strength, Vickers micro hardness and SEM analysis of the welded joints were determined and evaluated on the results obtained from experimentations, the graphs were plotted. The experimental results indicate that burn off length and rotational speed has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the joint and it is possible to increase the quality of the welded joint by selecting the optimum burn off lengths and rotational speeds.

The Phantom of the Opera is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. Christine Daaé travels with her father, a famous fiddler, throughout Europe, and plays folk and religious music. When Christine was six years old, her mother died and her father was taken to rural France by a patron, Professor Valerius. While Christine was a child, her father told her many stories about the "Angel of Music", who is the personification of musical inspiration. Christine meets and befriends the young Raoul, Viscount of Chagny. One of Christine and Raoul's favourite stories is one of Little Lotte, a girl who is visited by the Angel of Music and possesses a heavenly voice. Christine now lives with "Mamma" Valerius, the elderly widow of her father's benefactor. She eventually is given a position in the chorus at the Paris Opera House (Palais Garnier). She begins hearing a beautiful, unearthly voice which sings to her and speaks to her. She believes this must be the Angel of Music and asks him if he is. The Voice agrees and offers to teach her "a little bit of heaven's music". The Voice, however, belongs to Erik, a physically deformed and mentally disturbed musical genius who was one of the architects who took part in the construction of the opera house. He is in love with Christine. [more]

The Dunwich Horror is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft. It takes place in Dunwich, a fictional town in Massachusetts and is considered one of the core stories of the Cthulhu Mythos. In the isolated, desolate and decrepit village of Dunwich, Wilbur Whateley is the hideous son of Lavinia Whateley, a deformed and unstable albino mother, and an unknown father (alluded to in passing by mad Old Whateley, as "Yog-Sothoth"), and strange events surround his birth and precocious development. Wilbur matures at an abnormal rate, reaching manhood within a decade, locals shun him and his family, and animals fear and despise him (due to a smell he gives off). All the while, his sorcerer grandfather indoctrinates him into certain dark rituals and the study of witchcraft. Wilbur wants to acquire an unabridged Latin version of the Necronomicon so that he may open the way for the return of the mysterious "Old Ones", whose forerunner is the Outer God Yog-Sothoth. Thus, Wilbur and his grandfather have sequestered an unseen presence at their farmhouse; this being is connected somehow to Yog-Sothoth. Year by year, this unseen entity grows to monstrous proportions, requiring the two men to make frequent modifications to their residence. People begin to notice a trend of cattle mysteriously disappearing. Wilbur's grandfather dies. His mother disappears soon afterward. The colossal entity eventually occupies the whole interior of the farmhouse. [more]
