Christmas-Gift-Full-Story Grinning, Chidori waved and trotted up to the corner where her friend was waiting. "Merry Christmas," Akiha called out with a little giggle. Chidori returned the Holiday greeting and the two girls started their walk to school together, joining with the flow of students in identical uniforms that was gradually growing less sparse as they approached the high school. "Did you have a good time with Takagi-san the other day?" Akiha continued. "Well of course. It was totally romantic and everything," Chidori replied. She'd only been with Takagi for a few months, but he had put a real effort into their special Christmas Eve date. "Did he give you that? It looks pretty fancy," Akiha motioned at the hairclip holding back Chidori's hime cut. It was black and shiny, set with a row of deep green stones. "Uh-uh. He got me a necklace, but I thought it was way too flashy to wear to school. This is from Uncle Jojo." She turned her head to let Akiha get a better look at the jewelry. "Oh yeah, that's your uncle who went overseas. Wasn't he an archeologist or something? And what does this writing here say?" Akiha asked, peering at the letters engraved in the polished black surface. "I can't tell. It looks almost like English but not quite, and I don't even recognize the second character. Uncle Jojo likes strange foreign things, so I was thinking about asking Kirika about it later today. Oh, and it says something else on the other side, but those characters are even weirder. Here, look," Chidori stopped walking and lifted her hair so that Akiha could look at the underside of the clip, turning so that it caught the sunlight. Akiha examined the strange and unfamiliar characters, saying, "this side is all shiny. Is it silver? Or do you think it's just..." then she was cut off by the rumbling noise of a subway passing under the street. Standing there and waiting for the noise to subside, something at the edge of Chidori's vision caught her attention, and she turned to look ahead down the street to where a pair of girls that looked like first-years were walking together. Her mouth popped open with an inaudible gasp of surprise at what she saw there: one of the two girls had carelessly stepped onto the corner of a subway grate, and the updraft was blowing her uniform's skirt way up past her hips and completely revealing her cute little light blue panties. Behind her, a group of boys were staring at the sight, and one of them was trying to pull his phone out in time to take a picture. He wasn't fast enough, though, and a heartbeat later the girl stepped off the subway grate and her skirt settled back into place. Chidori closed her mouth as the surprise passed, but her pulse was still racing. That poor girl! And those awful boys! Thank goodness they didn't manage to get a picture. She looked again, to see how the girl in the light blue panties and her friend would react, but they were still staring at the second girl's phone, clearly engrossed in something or other, and hadn't even noticed the little surprise subway-grate-panty-flash. And worst of all, they were headed straight for another subway grate! At this rate, those two first-year girls were both going to walk right over that grate in just a few seconds and give those boys a double dose of panty-flash. And that one with the phone had it out and at the ready now. What was Chidori going to do! The sunlight gleamed on her hairpin in a way that looked as though it ought to be audible, and in the same moment Chidori made her decision. "I gotta save her!" The thought flickered through Chidori's mind like a lightning bolt, shocking her into action, and she took off running. The boys gave a brief shout of surprise as she shoved past them, which she ignored, focused as she was on reaching the two girls before it was too late. She tried to call out to them between breaths, but her voice was drowned completely by the mighty roar of the subway. She focused anew on running, her vision locked on the fluttering fabric of the girls' skirts and her mind on reaching them in time to stop those skirts from taking flight. Just in time she reached out and grabbed one girl's shoulder, drawing a little exclamation of surprise that was hardly audible even at this distance. But even as she stopped her friend kept walking, still completely oblivious to her own imminent exposure. Chidori tried to reach across to grab the other girl's shoulder too, but she was too far away, so instead she leaped out past them both, twisting to land in front of the pair with her hands held out in an unmistakable "Stop!" gesture. It worked, and the second girl stopped just short of the updraft, so near to the updraft that the edge of her skirt ruffled restlessly but not quite near enough for it to rise up. Chidori gave a sigh of relief and lowered her hands before she saw the looks on the girls' faces. They looked very surprised, which was perfectly understandable, but they also looked alarmed and they were both blushing, and most strangely of all they were looking down. Chidori felt a surge of dread rise as something awful occurred to her. She slowly looked down herself, only to freeze at exactly the sight she was afraid of. She was standing right on the subway grate, the updraft was still blowing as strong as before, and her skirt was billowing freely high above her waist, leaving her cute blue-and-purple shimapan completely exposed. Horrified and all but immobilized by shock, she raised her head and snapped her eyes forward to look past the girls at the cluster of boys behind them. They were staring right at her with big goofy grins, and two of them had their phones pointed at her. Behind them, Akiha was wide-eyed with her hands over her mouth, looking on in horror at Chidori's horrible accident. After long seconds Chidori's shock passed enough for her to push down the front of her skirt and cover her panties. A moment later the subway completed its passage, the wind stopped, and her uniform settled back into place. Her whole face felt hot as she blushed bright red with helpless embarrassment, and for one more second there was only stunned silence. Her hairpin, meanwhile, sparkled and twinkled like a starry sky, but nobody there could see it. Akiha broke the silence, crying out, "Oh no! Chidori! Are you... are you..." as she rushed over to try to help. Drawing up alongside the two gaping first-years, she quickly realized that it was much too late for that, since the disaster was over and the boys had already seen everything. So instead, she whirled about and turned her attention on them, shouting "You!" in voice as stern and piercing as that of any teacher. "Just what exactly do you think you're..." she trailed off, however, upon seeing that the boys had already scattered like a group of rats at the first syllable of her accusation, each one disappearing in a different direction. "Umm... th- thanks! Thanks for, um... h- helping. You really saved us, senpai," the girl on the left offered with equal parts gratitude and sympathy. She had clearly worked out what happened and why. Seeing that her words did little to assuage Chidori's embarrassment, she continued, "And um... it could be worse, you know?" with a nervous little laugh. "I mean... um, at least you're wearing normal panties, and not anything too embarrassing. L-like with goofy pink hearts... or a tiny little thong..." At that moment, the girl on the right gave a big gasp, and the three others looked at her in time to see her glance straight down and blush, turning not quite as red as Chidori. The significance of the girl's sudden surge of embarrassment was just beginning to dawn on Chidori when the girl on the left put it into words. "Mioko-chan... are you... did you... are you wearing a..." The meaning of her words was clear enough to everybody, but she didn't stop there. "Did Eiko dare you to wear that thong to school again!?" Eiko hadn't dared her to wear it this time, as it turned out, but Mioko was wearing it anyway, as she stammeringly explained while the four of them resumed their walk to school. "It's just... see, since I still had it and everything. After the last time I mean... and since it turned out just fine back then I just... I thought it would be a waste to never wear it again, you know? And besides, it's... it's, um... kinda comfy..." The other girls just stared at Mioko for a few seconds before Natsumi spoke up again. "Thank you so, so, SO much Chidori-senpai! If you hadn't stopped us then we... and then she... I mean, it's bad enough what happened to you and me but... but if that happened to Mioko-chan too then those boys totally would have seen her whole... um... I mean..." she trailed off, belatedly noticing the way Mioko was quivering with embarrassment and blushing so hard that her face was briefly even brighter than her long reddish-brown hair.

This world exists since humans began to think about problems in the real world. At its beginning the mental world had a lot of mystery holes. However, thanks to science the holes are filled and the mental world became a rational paradise. Metamons are monsters living in the mental world. They evolve like the humans from little thoughts. They have no idea about the real world. However, the humans began to stop thinking about reasons and abstract issues. Only a few scientists (a small proportion of humanity) still use abstract constructions in thoughts. The mental world slowly collapse and a lot of riddles, ambiguity and uncertainty emerges. All solutions are forgotten. The natural disaster will destroy the mental world and let stupidity and ignorance win. The ignorance of humanity created the evil Ignarumon. It creates questions and riddles and is happy about the fact that no one can solve it. Thus, with this power it can subject all Metamons, because the Metamons don't know how to solve these riddles (problems) in the mental world. Ignarumon can create problems without maybe solving it later (it's only one way). The 42-year-old Professor of Mathematics Prof.

  • Shaman-Queens and Sacral Princesses
    SHAMAN-QUEENS AND SACRAL PRINCESSES A Re-Examination of the “Golden Age” Narrative of Female Sacral Power in Ancient Japan Natalie Louise McKay ORCID: 0000-0002-2620-0372 Doctor of Philosophy – Arts October 2020 Asia Institute, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne School of Japanese History, Graduate School of Letters, University of Kyoto Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy – Arts 1 Abstract Among scholarship of ancient Japanese women’s history, a traditional narrative has formed in which the ancient period emerges as a “golden age” of female power, an age in which women – through magico-religious performance – occupied positions of authority that were later usurped by the coming of patriarchal value systems, surviving only in traces. Recent decades have seen revisions to this “golden age” narrative, proposing more complex models of how this ancient “power” may have been configured, and how it may have been eroded by changing gender norms. However, many core assumptions from the early “golden age” narrative persist throughout modern scholarship, such as the existence of contrapuntal male-female rule as a standard format of power across the archipelago, or the interpretation of later female positions of (sacral or monarchic) power as direct legacies of a more empowered age. This research thus performs a critical re-evaluation of the “golden age” narrative in its various incarnations, examining its arguments against images of women and female sacral performance from a variety of surviving contemporary texts. It also aims to bring to light new perspectives on the discourse, such as the overlooked consideration of regional diversity in ancient Japan, and the multiplicity encompassed within the concept of “power”.

  • Types of Haircuts Part 2 Bangs
    Types of Haircuts Part 2 Bangs A fringe (or bang in the US and Canada only) is the front part of the hair cut to hang or curl over the forehead. In hairstyling, it can be swept to the side, similar to the side part, except that it does not cover the eyes. Bantu/Zulu Knots Bantu/Zulu knots is a haircut of African origin which consists of many small buns. Beatle Haircut or ‘Moptop’ Named after the fashion of the early Beatles, long all around, neatly cut, very new to Americans at the time, but not an uncommon British haircut. During the height of “Beatlemania,” “Beatle wigs” were sold. The Beatle haircut, also known as the mop-top (or moptop) due its resemblance to a mop, is a mid-length hairstyle named for and popularized by the British rock and roll group The Beatles. The name Arthur came from George Harrison in the movie, “A Hard Day’s Night”, in which George is asked in an interview, “What would you call that, uh, hairstyle you’re wearing?” George replied, “Arthur.” It is a straight cut - collar-length at the back and over the ears at the sides - with a straight fringe. © 2015 All Star Training, Inc. Page 1 Previous to the mop-top, young men had the “Duck’s Ass”, which was a haircut style popular during the 1950s, both in America and across the Western world. It was also called the Ducktail, or simply D.A. As a schoolboy in the mid-50s, Vollmer had left his hair hanging over his eyes one day after he had gone swimming and kept it that way.
