"To promote good fellowship among the women students among the various colleges in the country...to create a secret society composed of these women based upon their good moral character, regardless of nationality or creed..." Founder notes.
Dorothy was the first woman to pass the bar in Fairfield County, Connecticut. After practicing law for seven years, Dorothy began working in social welfare and later traveled with her husband while he served in the armed forces. Throughout her life, she remained in contact with her fellow Founders and always portrayed the ideals and principles of the Sorority she helped to establish.
Ida graduated law school in 1920 and practiced law in New York City. She was a war correspondent during World War II in Europe, and helped relocated Jewish survivors and refugees. When Ida married in 1921, she married a non-citizen and, as a result, she lost her U.S. citizenship and the right to practice law. Ida petitioned Congress about the injustice, attracting national attention to the case. This led to the adoption of the Cable Act, which restored her citizenship, and guaranteed that American women would not forfeit their citizenship by marriage to a foreigner.
Minna was always interested in the cause of peace in the world and understanding between people. She was instrumental in setting up the constitution and bylaws that still guide our Sorority. Minna also served as the First International President (1922-1923). After practicing law and raising her family, Minna sat on the Human Rights committee of the United Nations with Eleanor Roosevelt, and became a speaker for the United Nations. She was also active in the World Health Organization and the National Council of Jewish Women.
Eve believed that education and Delta Phi Epsilon were means for women in the early 20th century to broaden their base and enrich their lives. Her love of education, books, travel and art were constant. She was always learning and encouraging others to learn. Her love of her friends and concern for people were legendary. Her lifelong friendship with her Founding sisters personified everything we say about the joys of lasting friendship within our sisterhood. Her sudden death during her travels in Europe serves to remind us to embrace life and explore our world.
Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority founded at New York University School of Law by Minna Goldsmith Mahler, Eva Effron Robin, Ida Bienstock Landau, Sylvia Steierman Cohn, and Dorothy Cohen Schwartzman.
The first issue of the official sorority magazine "The Delta Phi Epsilon", published as a quarterly. Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority incorporated in the State of New York.

An Englishman named Charles E. Couche settled in Portland and the Mid-Vally in 1915.
On a tour of the new Yesterdayland exhibit at the Willamette Heritage Center I found myself stumped by a set of small, slightly tapered, cylindrical artifacts on display with the question, "What is this?" The cylinders had large holes drilled through the middle with small screws offset on either side. One would easily fit into the palm of my hand. Next to the objects was a picture of a cow meant to be a helpful clue.
As I stood mulling over the question and the objects childhood memories from visits to my grandparent's farm came flooding back. Some, a little traumatizing. Scrambling up bales of hay in the barn, in order to be safe while Grandpa brought the cows in to feed. Running for the safety of the outhouse with cousins after being caught in the pasture as the noisy giant cows made their way to the barn. And let's not forget the story of Soli, the bull. Meant to be a cautionary tale of how animals should be treated with respect, the story of the bull that turned mean and had to be put down was the stuff of nightmares.
This type of horn weight would have been used on the Rivercrest Jersey Farm, where my grandparents came to work after the end of World War II. My grandpa Boyd Fergus was the herdsman from 1945-1952. The farm was three miles southwest of Wilsonville along the road to Newberg that parallels the Willamette River. The farm was owned by an Englishman named Charles E. Couche, a wealthy man from Portland.
He was also active with the local YMCA volleyball team, learned to drive and bought himself the latest model of the Scripps-Booth six touring car, planned local movie-themed balls and fundraisers, judged essay contests, and taught advertising classes. His first marriage ended in 1924 when his wife sued for divorce on the basis of desertion. After his divorce was final he married Myrtle Forbes.
In 1935 he saw a future in radio and took a job as the advertising and promotions director for radio stations KALE and KOIN. He continued to climb the ladder of success until he retired from the industry in 1947, as the general manager of KALE. It was about 1944 that the Couches decided to dabble in the dairy industry. Their talents were immediately put to use; Charles heading up the state club publication committee and Myrtle applying her talents as editor of the Oregon Jersey Review magazine.
In 1945, they took a calculated risk in purchasing a yearling bull from the C.W. Sherman Stock farm in Scappoose. He had an impeccable pedigree and within four years proved his worth by siring 23 daughters whose quantity of milk and percentage of butterfat per pound set new records. In 1949, he gained his 7-star rating, one of only eleven 7-star bulls in the United States at the time and was sold to Oklahoma A & M for the substantial sum of $2,000 for use in their artificial insemination service. Never one to pass up a promotional opportunity, Mr. Couche launched an ad campaign benefiting Rivercrest Farm under the name "What One Bull Did for Us" and used it to promote and advertise not only his farm but increase the sales prices of the jerseys he sold.
The Couches' continued to work their influence on the state level sponsoring 4-H contests, hosting club picnics, organizing tours for visiting Jersey dignitaries for the yearly meeting culminating in what fellow Jersey members believed was the organization's crowning achievement; a contract and ad campaign with Fred Meyer stores to sell milk and other dairy products made from Jersey milk under the All-Jersey trade name owned by the Oregon Jersey Cattle Association.
Between 1955 and 1957 Charles and Myrtle Couche began the process of retiring. Ending their work with the Oregon Jersey Cattle Association and selling their herd. They purchased a property management company in Lake Grove, where Myrtle kept the books and Charles, only semi-retired, turned his talents to the budding filbert industry and thoughts of nationwide promotion. He died in 1965, while Myrtle 6 years younger, died in 1982.
Come take a look at these items for yourself in the Willamette Heritage Center's latest exhibit Yesterdayland: Innovations of the Past. The exhibit is free with regular museum admission and will be open through September 1, 2018.

Г1 (Газотурбовоз, модель 1-я) — первый советский газотурбовоз, построенный Коломенским тепловозостроительным заводом в 1959 году в единственном экземпляре (Г1-01).

Проектирование
Ещё до Июльского Пленума ЦК КПСС, указавшего на необходимость развернуть научно-исследовательские и проектно-конструкторские работы по созданию экономичных локомотивов, на Коломенском паровозостроительном заводе им. В. В. Куйбышева проводилось начатое в 1954 г. эскизное проектирование односекционного восьмиосного газотурбовоза с полезной мощностью газовой турбины 4500 л.с. Однако во второй половине 1955 г. эта работа была прекращена, и началось проектирование (под руководством главного конструктора завода Л. С. Лебедянского и ведущего конструктора Р. И. Шарговского) двухсекционного газотурбовоза с газотурбинными установками мощностью по 3500 л.с. К концу года был закончен технический проект, а в середине 1956 г. началось изготовление газотурбинной установки, которая была готова в декабре 1957 г. Эта установка (ГТУ № 1) имела подшипники скольжения.
Одновременно с проектированием газотурбовоза и изготовлением для него отдельных частей в период 1956 — 57 гг. на Коломенском заводе, который стал тогда называться тепловозостроительным, создавались экспериментальные цеха и новые лаборатории для исследований газотурбинных установок и их элементов.
В ноябре 1958 г. началось испытание второй газотурбинной установки (ГТУ № 2), которая была разработана с учетом опыта работы первой установки и, в частности, имела подшипники качения.
После получения изготовленных харьковским заводом «Электротяжмаш» генераторов эта установка с июля 1959 г. испытывалась под нагрузкой. Испытания выявили ряд недостатков установки, и её конструкция вновь подверглась переработке; появилась ГТУ № 3.
В конце 1959 г. завод построил одну секцию грузового газотурбовоза Г1-01.

Конструкция

Кузов и ходовая часть
Газотурбовоз имел сварной кузов с несущей рамой и с одной кабиной машиниста. Несколько необычно был сделан вход в локомотив: дверь находилась под боковыми окнами кабины. Вследствие этого места машиниста и его помощника находились относительно далеко от лобовых окон кабины.
Кузов опирался на две трёхосные тележки, выполненные по типу тележек опытного тепловоза ТЭ50-0001 - с челюстными буксами с цилиндрическими роликовыми подшипниками. Диаметр колёс равнялся 1050 мм. Тяговые электродвигатели имели опорно-осевое подвешивание.

Силовая установка и вспомогательное оборудование
На газотурбовозе была применена одновальная газотурбинная установка ГТ-3,5 с открытым циклом без регенерации мощностью 3500 л. с. Она состояла из 12-ти ступенчатого компрессора, шести прямоточных камер сгорания и 4-х ступенчатой турбины и имела следующие параметры:

Атмосферный воздух сжимался в компрессоре до давления 5,5 — 6 атм и поступал в камеру сгорания. При сгорании топлива воздух нагревался до температуры 727 °С, и рабочая смесь поступала в газовую турбину. Примерно 2/3 мощности турбины затрачивалось на вращение компрессора, остальная часть шла на вращение трёх тяговых генераторов постоянного тока.
Тяговые генераторы были скомпонованы в две группы: первая группа (двухмашинный агрегат) состояла из двух тяговых генераторов МПТ-74/23, вторая группа (трёхмашинный агрегат) — из тягового генератора МПТ-74/2З, возбудителя ВТ-275/120А и вспомогательного генератора ВГГ-49/14. Тяговые генераторы имели мощность 733 кВт, возбудитель — 15 кВт, вспомогательный генератор — 80 кВт.
Обмотки возбуждения трёх тяговых генераторов были соединены последовательно и питались от возбудителя.
Газотурбинная установка с редуктором, генераторами и элементами вспомогательного оборудования была смонтирована на отдельной раме, размещенной в средней части кузова.
Каждый тяговый генератор питал два параллельно включенных тяговых электродвигателя ЭДТ-340 мощностью по 340 кВт.
Источником электроэнергии при одиночном следовании локомотива служила вспомогательная силовая установка, состоявшая из 6-цилиндрового дизеля 1Д6 мощностью 150 л.с. и двухмашинного агрегата. Двухмашинный агрегат состоял из маневрового генератора МПТ-49/16
мощностью 100 кВт для питания двух тяговых электродвигателей и вспомогательного генератора ВГГ-275/80 мощностью 20 кВт для собственных нужд и подзарядки аккумуляторной батареи при неработающей газотурбинной установке.
На газотурбовозе имелся холодильник для охлаждения масла газотурбинной установки и дизеля и воды дизеля, осевой вентилятор холодильника и два центробежных вентилятора тяговых электродвигателей.
В заднем помещении кузова, где находилась вспомогательная силовая установка, был расположен котёл для подогрева топлива, масла и обогрева кабины машиниста в зимнее время, а также мотор-компрессор.

Испытания

24 декабря 1959 года газотурбовоз Г1-01 прошёл обкатку. В ходе продолжительных тягово-теплотехнических испытаний локомотив показал хорошие тяговые характеристики и был направлен на эксплуатационные испытания в локомотивное депо Кочетовка (станция Кочетовка) Юго-Восточной железной дороги для работы в грузовых поездах.

В опытной эксплуатации газотурбовоз Г1-01 оказался машиной весьма капризной и менее экономичной по сравнению с магистральным тепловозом ТЭ3.

В апреле 1963 года на выставке новейших советских локомотивов, газотурбовоз Г1-01 представлял лично главный конструктор Коломенского завода — Л. С. Лебедянский. Н. С. Хрущёву газотурбовоз понравился и он обратился с вопросом к Лебедянскому о достоинствах этого локомотива. Отвечая на вопрос, Лев Сергеевич сообщил, что на данный момент коэффициент полезного действия газотурбовоза ниже чем у тепловоза. Хрущёв не стал обсуждать с главным конструктором технические характеристики локомотива и покинул выставку.

В конце 1965 года все три газотурбовоза: Г1-01, ГП1-001 и ГП1-002 были переданы для опытной эксплуатации в депо Льгов. Газотурбовоз Г1-01 работал в грузовых поездах, в основном на участках: Льгов — Брянск, Льгов — Готня, Льгов — Курск и Льгов — Ворожба (99 км), с низкой интенсивностью (3—4 поездки в месяц).

Phil Gammage's latest music video from his album Used Man For Sale is "Ride With Railroad Bill". The song is loosely based on the story of the famous American folk hero from the 1800s, Railroad Bill. Like other historical folklore figures such as Paul Bunyan, Calamity Jane, and Casey Jones, Railroad Bill is a larger than life legend whose story has been retold through the years from generation to generation.Gammage has taken Bill's story and added a frightening edge.
In Phil's version, Railroad Bill is no longer a happy go lucky hobo riding the railroad, but a feared killer who stalks the trains and hobo yards looking to murder and steal.The black and white music video combines actual film footage from the 1940s and 50s along with recently filmed scenes featuring Gammage. They combine to create a unique vibe that works beautifully with the music.

8 Historical Sites of Sindh
by MairaS on October 31, 2009
in Exploring Amazing Pakistan
Pakistan is a land of diversity. It has a lot to offer to its tourists. If its northern areas are a mountaineer's paradise then its province Sindh is every historian's dream. Apart from the world famous remains of Moen Jo Daro, Makli Hills Tombs and Chaukhandi Tombs, some other historical sites worth visiting are:
Rani Kot Fort
The Rani kot Fort is the oldest fort in the world. The mystery surrounding its origins has made it all the more intriguing. The total area of the fort is 29 km and from a distance its long walls look like the Great Wall of China. The fort has 4 gates and it is accessible from the Sunn gate which is always open. There are three fortresses with in the premises of Rani kot fort. River Mohan passes through the fort which accounts for the green vegetation inside the fort. Situated 90 km from Hyderabad, in the district Dadu, it is accessible via jeep and camels.
Kot Deji Fort
Sindh has some of the oldest historical sites in the world; Kot Deji Fort (1785-1795) is one of such places. It is located in Khairpur Pakistan. Dating back 3000 years it was constructed during the reign of Mir Sohrab Khan Talpur. Formally known as the Ahmadabad Fort, it was originally built for military purpose. It is located on a 110 feet high limestone hill at the edge of the desert. With its location and style of construction it was considered invincible, however it was never attacked. During the times of peace, it was used as a residence by the Ameers of Khairpur. Within the formidable walls lie huge residential quarters, marble courtyards and long corridors with arched entrances.
Old Mud Fort (Pucca Qila)
In 1768, Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhora the founder of Hyderabad city Sindh constructed the Pucca Qila (Mud Fort) when he made Hyderabad the capital of Sindh.
Sadly this monument has been defaced by time and human cruelty. A major portion of it was first destroyed by the British and later by encroachers. Only a single room of this magnificent fort remains today the seraglio (Harem) of the Kalhora Rulers. The beautiful frescos adorning the room and the stone carvings at the main entrance of the Fort give a glimpse of its past splendor.
The Talpur Monuments
The tombs of the Talpur Rulers are situated in Hyderabad city. They are a fine piece of architecture with the blue glazed tiles and floral paintings adding to their beauty. These tombs are well maintained and visited by the tourists.
The Kalhora Monuments
These are the tombs of the Kalhora Rulers situated in the heart of the Hyderabad city. These tombs are well preserved and frequented by the tourists for their beautiful architecture and the floral paintings decorating the walls.
Faiz Mahal, Khairpur
Faiz Mahal is also situated in Khairpur. It was built by the Talpurs in 1798. This splendid palace is surrounded by vast gardens. Faiz Mahal is well maintained and has retained most of its grandeur.
Mir Shahdad Jo Qubo
In Shahdadpur city district Sanghar Sindh lies the historic monument of Mir Shahdad Jo Qubo. It is actually the tomb of Mir Shahdad Talpur one of the finest military commanders of Sindh. It is also the final resting place of many other members of the Talpur Family with Mir Shahdad Talpur and Mir Chakar Khan Talpur being the prominent personalities.
Amri
The mound of Amri was discovered by French archeologists in the 60s and is dated to be 4000 years old, older then Moen Jo Daro and Harappa.
It is situated on the west bank of River Indus south of Dadu, Sindh province of Pakistan. This historical site comprises of 160 settlements on 8 hectares some of which lie in Baluchistan. The pottery found from this place is one of its kinds and is called Amri Ware. No evidence of writings was found here. The excavations show signs of a huge fire which probably destroyed the town.

Provinces of Pakistan – Sindh
by MairaS on October 7, 2009
in Provinces
Sindh is an important province of Pakistan. Its significance can be judged from the fact that Sindh is known as Bab ul Islam (Gateway of Islam) as the Arab conqueror Mohammad Bin Qasim entered the Sub Continent through the shores of Sindh. Although devoid of any classically beautiful physical features, Sindh has its own charm. The upper Sindh has rich fertile soil and is covered with green fields. It is rich in mineral resources and deposits of coal, natural gas and crude oil are found here.
Some part of the great Thar Desert lies in the eastern Sindh. Thar has a beauty of its own. There are many lakes in Sindh with Manchar Lake, Karli Lake, Haleji Lake and Keenjhar Lake being most important. Manchar Lake has the distinction of being the largest fresh water lake in the Pakistan while Haleji Lake is the largest water fowl sanctuary of Asia.
Sindh can also boast of a rich history. The ruins of Moen Jo Daro dating back to 2600 BC and one of the earliest settlements are found here. Other historical buildings include the Pucca Qila, Rani Kot fort, Graveyards of Makli and Chaukhandi and the Shah Jehan Mosque.
Sindh is also famous for its handicrafts. The most famous being the Ralli (also called Rilli) quilts. Ralli is a hand made specimen of human intelligence, creativity and hard work. Multi coloured pieces of cloths are stitched together in different patterns to produce a ralli. It is an essential part of a girl's dowry and she starts weaving it from an early age assisted by her mother. Ralli is much more than a quilt/ bed linen, it is a young girl's dreams and hopes and her mother's prayers for a happy future.
Ajrak a block printed cotton shawl is the trademark of Sindh. It is made from vegetable dyes with maroon as the predominant color. Ajrak is held in high esteem all over Sindh. Usually guests are presented with ajraks to show respect.
Skull caps, jackets, cushion covers, tunics, table mats all embroidered with delicate mirror work are also made in Sindh. Ethnic silver jewelry is another item very much in demand.
Sindhi people are intelligent, sensitive and liberal minded. Sindh has given many seasoned politicians to Pakistan.

Historical Places in Pakistan
in Travel Pakistan
Pakistan is a land of rich history and culture. It is an abode of two of the world's oldest civilization. The ruins of the Gandhara-Buddhist civilization lie in Taxila. Swat valley also has Buddhist monuments and statues of Buddha.
The remains of Moen Jo Daro in Sindh tell the tales of the Indus Valley Civilization. Moen Jo Daro was one of the earliest settlements of the world. Located on the banks of River Indus, it was one of the earliest planned cities of the world. It dates back around 2600 BCE. It was discovered by the archeologists in 1930. The remains of Moen Jo Daro are carefully preserved by the government.
Harappa is another specimen of Indus Valley Civilization belonging to the same era 2600 BC. It is located in west Punjab. Its ruins were excavated in 1920 and depict the lifestyle and culture of the people of that time. The ruins are well preserved and a haven for all those interested in archeology and history.
Two other special places in Sindh worth mentioning are the Chaukhandi Tombs.
Chaukhandi Tombs lie 29 km East of Karachi. There are around 100 tombs in an area of 2 km built by the Balochi and Baurpat times. Chaukhandi tombs are famous for their unique style of construction. The architecture is dissimilar to the Islamic architecture. The graves are made of buff sandstone and exist as either a single grave or in clusters. They are rectangular in shape and have unique patterns, motifs, crosses, geometrical designs on them.
Makli Hill Tombs in Thatta are another historical place worth visiting. Makli Hills are one of the largest necropolises of the world with a diameter of 8 km. They are the final abode of around 125,000 Sufi saints and rulers of Sindh dating back from 13thto 15th century. The grandeur of the tombs is amazing and predicts the glory of that period.
A host of buildings built by the Mughals all over the country also add to the historical significance of the country.

Hackettstown's Colonial Musketeers Junior Fife & Drum Corps Celebrates 45 years
By Steve Sears
Started in 1975 in order to commemorate the United States' 1976 Bicentennial, the Colonial Musketeers Junior Fife & Drum Corps of Hackettstown is celebrating 45 years in 2020.
"I actually grew up as a fifer in the Colonial Musketeers," says Kelly Felsen, who joined as an 8th grade filler for the marching band and is now the Director. "I had already joined that in school, and I went all through high school as a marching member of the Colonial Musketeers, and I will say it's truly unlike any other group that's out there. Not only musically is it such an amazing opportunity, but it's such a family and tradition the corps instills upon not just me, but all of its members is so incredibly unique."
Morgan Graham, who is 23 years old and joined the corps as a fifer when she was 11, agrees. "The Colonial Musketeers Fife & Drum Corps is one of the most unique musical experiences you can have in our area. We have a very nurturing and supportive environment perfect for kids of all ages to expand their musical knowledge. We welcome any new kids who wish to join in our traditions."
The group accepts both those with instrumental experience, and those without. "There's no experience necessary in order to join on fife or on drums," confirms Felsen. "We encourage everybody to come and try it out. We teach everybody not only the musical skills but also the marching skills needed." Also, if you are an active marching member, a scholarship for college is offered after high school graduation.
The corps has about 24 active members, and the group has an obvious strong patriotic side to it. Felsen, who teaches 4th and 5th grade band in the Sussex-Wantage regional school district, explains. "Our uniforms and instruments are replica of the things the continental marines would use back in the 1770s. So that aspect, both drums are not necessarily you would see in a high school marching band. They are more like the ancient snare drums and base drums. We all learn all the patriotic tunes and we march in a number of different events. All of our corps members learn everything from "Yankee Doodle" to all of our service songs, and we interact with members of the American Legion, and the Elks Club. Just being able to have those connections with members of the armed forces, especially at such a young age, it's something very special."
For Graham, now an instructor, the junior fife and drum corps has been her home away from home. "I started playing the fife when I was 11. When I tested to march, I started in the color guard marching with the rifle. I worked hard and kept learning song after song until I earned my spot in the fife line. By the time I was 16, I made it all the way to a level 4 as a fifer. When I turned 17, I was chosen to be the fife sergeant and call commands and lead the corps. It was in that same year that I was the sergeant for the Musketeers at the Northeastern competition. I spent many weekends on the Colonial Musketeer bus traveling all over the area, performing in parades, ceremonies, and
other gigs all year round. Even after I graduated high school, I still would come back to Hackettstown to perform and help teach the younger kids. Now, as an adult I am an instructor for the fifers, and occasionally, I dust off my uniform to perform."
For Felsen, taking part is as special now as when she was in 8th grade, and she sees the pride in the current youngsters. "I am so proud of these kids and what they're doing," she says. "They work so hard, not just musically, but socially. We're all a family."
Graham alludes to the fact that the Colonial Musketeers are a part of the history of Hackettstown. "When you drive onto Main Street," she says, "next to the Welcome to Hackettstown sign, you can see another sign that reads, Home of the Colonial Musketeers, the Pride of Hackettstown. The Colonial Musketeers are known all over as a group of incredibly dedicated, self-disciplined, and talented kids who come from all over – not just Hackettstown – to celebrate a genre of music that isn't very well known. We have kids from age 8-21 marching in uniform at all skill levels and somehow they manage to march as one."

Can A Hentai Artist Fap To Their Own Work
Can A Hentai Artist Fap To Their Own Work Amongst the many kinds of anime, hentai is the most popular sub-genre. It is a kind of adult anime that includes both male and female characters. Although it may seem similar to human porn, it has a various visual style, and the relationship in between the customers and the characters in the anime are not the very same.
'Hentai ' is an abbreviation for hentai seiyoku (Japanese for "sexual perversion "), and it is a term utilized for manga, anime, video games, and other forms of popular entertainment. It can refer to numerous sort of adult works, but generally it 's specified as being sexually explicit and uncensored.
During the Edo Period (1603-1868), shoguns reduced the production of shunga, Japanese sensual art. Up until the late 19th century, shunga had actually been largely confined to a few books and journals. These were later on enhanced by pornographic pictures and the production of comics.

Prior to then, the most popular hentai anime was produced by Japanese cartoonists. Amongst them was The Dream of the Fisherman 's Wife, a story about a female who is promoted by two octopuses. Can A Hentai Artist Fap To Their Own Work
Another important figure was Toshio Maeda, who was called the "god of arm hentai. " His work featured beasts that had different genitalia. He looked for to surpass censorship laws relating to sexual relations.
The history of hentai is long and varied. While the term originated in Japan, the Western World experienced a sexual revolution. The rise of modern-day values made sex outside of standard marital relationship and sexual relationships acceptable.
The term 'hentai ' is frequently referred to as 'perverted ', 'weird ', and 'unusual '. In truth, hentai works have more sensible themes than their cartoon-cute versions. They likewise represent characters more realistically than those in Tezuka 's manga.
Today, hentai has a large audience. Adult themes have actually belonged of manga considering that the 1940s. During the '50s and '60s, stories of male homosexuality and cross-dressing were the most typical preoccupations in publications.
The hentai market began to blow up after the war. In 1928, Gurotesuku was established, and it concentrated on pseudo-academic sexual material. Other magazines of this duration consisted of Fuuzoku Kagaku, Kitan Kurabu, Ningen Tankyuu, and Ura Mado.
During the 1970s, Hentaigaku Nyuumon was published by Akiyama Masami. The book was filled with guidance pages penned by expected sexual specialists. It was also the very first manga to include a hentai test.
Visual distinctions in between hentai and human pornography
Regardless of the visual distinctions between hentai and human pornography, there are still questions about how these 2 kinds of sexually arousing media influence individuals. This is particularly real in the case of hentai. Its usage in computer game and anime may influence people 's beliefs about love and sexual arousal. Likewise, hentai consumers might have different romantic understandings than other kinds of pornography consumers. Can A Hentai Artist Fap To Their Own Work
To explore this concern, a study was conducted. The outcomes suggested that hentai consumers ranked anime characters more attractive than non-porn consumers, but not differently than other types of porn customers. Can A Hentai Artist Fap To Their Own Work
Aside from the sex-related measures, the most considerable findings were that male hentai customers were more motivated by facilitating sexual enjoyment than human porn customers. Specifically, male hentai consumers were most likely to be thinking about avoiding unfavorable emotions, assisting in sexual satisfaction, and pleasing sexual curiosity. Furthermore, hentai consumers were most likely than other kinds of porn customers to want a real-world romantic relationship.
The study also found that male hentai customers scored higher on procedures of appearance, desire for a romantic relationship, and attachment anxiety than male human pornography consumers. When comparing the two types of porn taken in by means of desktop computer, this is specifically true.
However, a few other findings were also noteworthy. Hentai customers tended to score considerably greater on the Spearman 's rho matrix for steps of destination. While hentai consumption did not change the score on these steps for other types of pornography consumers, it does appear to impact ball games on the rho matrix for hentai customers.
In addition, hentai consumers rated human images more attractive than hentai consumers rated anime images, but only if the image 's background was standardized. A future study should take a look at the effect of the color scheme of the image on its attractiveness ratings. Future research studies must include more standardized background colors and pose-related variables, and a broader variety of images.
Overall, this research study is the very first to examine how hentai and human porn are viewed differently, and to what degree. Whether or not these differences are the outcome of an authentic misunderstanding or simply a result of the type of pornography saw, a more thorough evaluation of the differences and resemblances is required.
Relationships between hentai consumers and anime characters
Whether you take in hentai, you might have discovered that lots of anime characters have a strong interest fans. These characters might even have a higher influence on hentai consumption than other kinds of adult media characters.
In a current research study, scientists examined how hentai customers and other types of porn consumers perceive anime characters. The findings of the study suggested that hentai fans are most likely to discover an anime character attractive than a similar image of a genuine individual. It also revealed that hentai customers are more likely to want to get involved in a romantic relationship with a character from an anime than a similar person. This might be a function of a greater desire for the sexually suggestive images of anime characters compared to a genuine human.
The scientists conducted a survey with 208 participants, with a typical age of 21. These participants finished an online survey, and a group questionnaire. The survey included concerns about anime genres, soundtracks, quality of material, and other anime-related subjects. The results were analyzed utilizing SPSS variation 25. Can A Hentai Artist Fap To Their Own Work
The study found that hentai fans had a greater score on an image score job, which determined the quality of the picture and its features. The image was not standardized, and the background colors were not managed for. This indicates that the same background color might have had a more dramatic result on one individual 's rating than another.
The study also uncovered that hentai customers are more inclined to want to have a romantic relationship with a character from anime than a similar human. In addition, male hentai consumers were most likely to have a favorable response to the image, along with an interest in sexual enjoyment.
The results of this study suggest that the image ranking job is a creative way to determine a hentai consumer 's desire to have a romantic relationship with an anime character. The research study was not able to determine if these factors are affected by the type of pornography they consume.
Why Is There So Much Rape In Hentai
This sub-genre has actually developed from its starts to encompass all sorts of genres. Lolicon is a popular anime style in which girls are illustrated in sexual situations. It has gone beyond debate and has actually ended up being a part of mainstream culture.
Many individuals have various viewpoints about lolicon, however, it is necessary to comprehend what it is. It is not the like child porn, which is considered obscene in some nations.
Lolicon is an animation design of Japanese manga. This kind of pornography consists of simple drawing styles and insufficient messages. The characters are not genuine children, but instead represent a hyper-passive frame of mind. The narratives are designed to line up with the worth of pleasure principle. It is considered a bad guy because of its overbearing force.
It forbids the circulation of kid porn, as well as the collection and transmission of virtual kid porn over the internet. It likewise forbids the transport of child porn across state lines.
This is a controversial concern, but it is not always something that US police appreciates. It seems that a number of industry associations included in anime and manga have actually protested the brand-new child pornography law.
The Japanese media has actually seized upon the existence of anime in the bed room of Tsutomu Miyazaki, who was implicated of killing four elementary school ladies in 1989. In reaction, journalism branded him an "otaku killer ". In addition to the capital punishment, a Japanese court ruled that the developers of the anime were guilty of the crime of murder. In a 2005 follow-up exhibit, Mr. Murakami contributed to the show.
The lolicon has actually been banned in some U.S. states, the phenomenon continues to grow. It is ending up being a major part of the pop culture of Japan. The appeal of detailed home entertainment amongst young Japanese has actually sustained the introduction of the lolicon. Can A Hentai Artist Fap To Their Own Work
Another important figure was Toshio Maeda, who was called the "god of arm hentai. The term 'hentai ' is typically referred to as 'perverted ', 'creepy ', and 'irregular '. The results suggested that hentai customers rated anime characters more attractive than non-porn consumers, however not in a different way than other types of pornography customers.
Aside from the sex-related procedures, the most substantial findings were that male hentai customers were more inspired by facilitating sexual enjoyment than human pornography consumers. While hentai intake did not alter the score on these steps for other types of porn customers, it does appear to affect the ratings on the rho matrix for hentai consumers.

Lastly, there was our mascot "Jack," a wire-haired terrier, possessed of all the dignity of a Regimental Sergeant-Major, and wearing a collar inscribed, "I am Jack, of the 7th Oxford and Bucks Lt.

MEDITERRANEAN.
When it became known, towards the end of September, that the Germans, Austrians, and Bulgarians had made up their minds to invade and crush Serbia, with a view to opening the through railway route to Constantinople, the Allies decided to go to the assistance of Serbia and endeavour to prevent the enemy making use of the railway.
France declared war on Bulgaria on the 5th October, and on that date the 1st French Division, under General Sarrail, was transferred from the Dardanelles to Salonika, and was followed by two other Divisions. Shortly afterwards the British 10th Division (Mahon) was dispatched from the Dardanelles to Salonika. On the 10th October the French moved north into Serbia, with the object of getting into communication with the Serbian army. Two Battalions of the British Division moved forward, on the 27th, to support the French.
The Serbians were being driven south and their country over-run by the enemy, and, although the French succeeded in gaining touch with the Serbians, it soon became evident that it would not be possible to extricate the whole of the Serbian army. Early in November the remainder of the British Division advanced into Serbia and took over the French front, when General Sarrail moved forward. Desultory fighting took place during the month, but on the 27th the French, finding that they could be of no help to the Serbian army, retired southwards, in accordance with their original instructions.
On the 3rd December they were back in line with the position taken up by the British.
On the 5th and 6th December the Bulgarians delivered heavy attacks on the British, who withdrew to their second position, and on the 8th to their third position, the French retiring level with the British on the 11th. By the 12th the enemy had pushed forward as far south as the Greek frontier, thus cutting off the Serbian army, who were now forced to retreat south-westward through Albania. Meanwhile the French and British forces retired on Salonika.
Such, in brief, were the events which had taken place prior to the arrival of the reinforcing British troops from France, or were in progress at the time of their arrival. All immediate prospect of military operations was at an end, and the first four months of 1916 were spent in throwing up defences to cover Salonika against a possible attack from the north and east by the Bulgarians. The diary extracts which follow show that the Battalion, with the rest of the British force at Salonika, had plenty of hard work, little excitement, and a minimum of recreation.
Major C. Wheeler's diary.

Arrived at Marseilles at 6.30 p.m., marched to the Docks, and embarked on H.M.S. "Terrible" (strength, 27 officers and 899 other ranks).
Transport vehicles were loaded on H.M.S. "Invernin."
November 12th.—Other troops embarked.
November 13th.—H.M.S. "Terrible" (Captain 0. H. Hughes-Onslow) sailed from Marseilles at 6 a.m., having on board :--
7th Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry, 27 officers, 899 other ranks.
12th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, 20 officers, 558 other ranks.
11th Scottish Rifles, 11 officers, 120 other ranks.
H.Q. 77th Infantry Brigade, 14 other ranks.
Total: 58 officers and 1,591 other ranks.
We form part of a convoy—all bound for Salonika.
Enemy submarines have been active recently, so we are continually changing our course.
We have no escort, and rely on ourselves for protection.
The "Terrible" has been rescued from the scrap heap, and has been trooping for some time.
The crew is not at full complement, so we have to supply look-outs, and Lewis-gunners help to man the light guns, while some 40 others assist as stokers.
All the omens are against us: sailing on a Friday and on the 13th day of the month !
Moreover, we remember that detachments of our Regiment and of the A. and S. Highlanders were on board the illfated "Birkenhead" half a century ago.
November 18th.—Reached Alexandria at 3 p.m. after a very pleasant voyage.
The decks were too crowded to organize games.
As we have not enough coal to reach Salonika, we go to Port Said for coal tomorrow.
November 19th.—Sailed at 5 p.m.
November 20th.—Reached Port Said at 1.30 p.m.
All troops disembarked and marched to a rest camp near the docks while coal was being taken on board.
November 2lst.—Re-embarked at 5 p.m.
November 22nd.—Sailed from Port Said at 1.30 a.m.
November 26th.—Entered Salonika boom at dawn; transferred to lighters, and disembarked at 2.30 p.m.
We marched through part of the town to the Lembet Rest Camp, on the Salonika-Seres road.
Very cold, with frost and snow.
The men have only one blanket apiece, and the camp is on a windswept ridge.
We should have fared badly, arriving as we did in the dark and unable to find fuel or water, had not an enterprising Greek got a canteen ready for our arrival.
November 27th.—Wind-and snow.
Everyone feeling very cold after the warmth of Egypt.
Much handicapped by the absence of our transport with kits, etc.
Sheepskin coats issued.
November 28th.—Hearing rumours that our transport was in Salonika we sent a party to investigate.
In a big pound near the docks we found odd half limbers, and eventually, with the aid of the A.S.C., we got twelve out of our sixteen vehicles.
Many things were lost.
We should have been allowed to send a guard with the transport.
November 29th.—All our vehicles were taken away from us in order to complete the establishment of the 22nd Division, which is beginning to go north to reinforce our 10th Division (from Gallipoli).
November 30th.—Snow melted, and weather quite warm at times. I
t looks as if we shall be here some time, as we are now without transport.
Everyone is restless, as we are more or less surrounded by Greek troops.
Even in Salonika officers have to go about armed by day.
Rumour says that the Bulgarian Consul has representatives at the docks who count our troops as they land. This is quite probable, as we are in neutral Greece.
Any day we may find ourselves fighting our unwilling hosts.
But our position here is justified by the fact that Greece was under obligation to help Serbia in case of attack, and so we, as allies of Serbia, are here to help Greece redeem her pledge, and we intend to use the Serbian right of way through Greece to accomplish our purpose.
December 5th.—Our Division cannot do much, as we are still refitting after our voyage, but we have plenty to do, road-making and making the camp habitable.
December 10th.—Weather very foggy for the last few days.
December 12th.—Road-making. Marched out about five miles, and commenced making a road through the mountains.
The Welsh miners very useful.
Back to camp at 8.30 p.m. very tired.
December 13th.— Out from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., digging trenches at Tumba.
Hard day's work.
Marched altogether 22 miles.
Roads through the mountains bad.
December 14th.—Paraded at 8 a.m. and marched to Lajna, 10 miles, there to encamp.
Arrived at 12.30 p.m.
Digging trenches near Tumba.
No tents arrived, so the Battalion bivouacked.
Weather dry and cold.
December 15th.—Digging trenches from 8 a.m. to 6.30 p.m.
Some tents arrived, but part of the Battalion bivouacked for the night.
The camp is on a spur about 3 miles north-east of Langaza Lake.
December 16th-23rd.—In camp at Lajna, trench digging each day.
December 24th.—Moved camp to Watercress Gully, a little nearer the digging area.
December 26th.—Digging trenches until 11 a.m., after which Christmas Day was kept.
Bread was issued for the first time since the 14th instant, and the men were provided with plum pudding, fresh meat, oranges, nuts, a pint of beer, and a rum ration.
A heavy mail of parcels and letters arrived, and everyone was very cheerful.
December 26th-31st.—Trench digging continued.
One man (Private F. G. Miles, B Company) died in hospital.
The transport, which had been left behind in France, had now rejoined the Battalion.
January lst-20th.—At Lajna Camp, digging trenches.
Occasionally German aeroplanes came over, and some bombs were dropped.
The weather was at times bitterly cold, blizzards blowing from the north, and the transport animals had to be protected with hoods made out of sacks.
January 2lst.—Moved camp to Jajladzik.
January 22nd-February 15th.—Camp at Jajladzik.
The daily routine consisted of work on the defence line, improving the camping area, and bombing and machine-gun classes.
February 16th.—A Company manning trenches; B Company road-making; the remainder at various forms of training.
February 17th—March 7th.—At Jajladzik Camp.
During this period the Battalion worked on the defence line and carried out training of different kinds.
March 9th-12th.—Very heavy rain.
Difficult to carry out training.
March 13th-18th.—At Jajladzik Camp.
Every available man employed on the defence line, making good the damage done by the rain.
On the 18th the Battalion took part in the 78th Brigade Machine gun Competitions, and out of seven events won four and was second in two.
March 19th-April 30th.—Throughout the whole of this period the Battalion was encamped at Jajladzik, and occupied on defence work, or carrying out training.
A few days were devoted to Brigade Training, and great attention was paid to the training of specialists in machine-gun, signalling, bombing, loading mules, etc., while Battalion and Company training and musketry went on continuously.
Winter ended officially in the last week of March, when fur coats, leather jerkins, and fur gloves were handed in to Ordnance Stores, and the summer timetable came into force.
The daily routine was then as follows: Reveille, 5 a.m.; breakfasts, 6 a.m.; work, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m (with a break for lunch from 11 to 11.30 a.m.); dinners, 3 p.m.; teas, 6.30 p.m.; retreat, 6.30 p.m.
From Major Wheeler's diary.
April 26th.—We have been very busy lately, as a new order concerning health and age of senior officers has come out, and a more or less clean sweep has been made of Brigadiers and Commanding Officers.
Our Brigadier (Thomas) has had to go, as well as our C.O. (Newton-King).
The latter was succeeded by Lieut. -Colonel Sir E. Grogan, of the Rifle Brigade, on the 21st.
May 2nd-9th.—During these days we took part in an eight days trek with the rest of the 78th Brigade over new ground.
Divisions and brigades are carrying out these treks as a form of training now that the defences are well developed.
The first day we marched to Sarijar (10 miles) and bivouacked; the next day to Hadzi Mah (6 miles); then to Kara Omerli, Cernik, Vulajli, Kurfali, and Langaza, bivouacking a night at each place, and returning to camp at Jajladzik on the 9th.
The march was entirely in the hills; there were no roads, and everything was carried on pack mules; water was scarce, and, as we were manoeuvring all day, we had a strenuous time.
May 30th-June 3rd.—At a camp 3 miles north of Laugaza undergoing Brigade training.
June 8th.—This has been our hottest day so far.
Most of us are unfamiliar with hot climates, and we are feeling the heat a good deal.
The worst of it is we cannot sleep during the middle of the day, as flies abound in spite of all our devices. We have now moved to a camp in the hills in another part of the line, with very little water.
June 16th.—Major A. T. Robinson (2nd East Surrey Regiment) took over the command of the Battalion from Lieut.-Colonel Sir E. Grogan, who has gone on the Staff.
June 20th.—Moved to a camp half a mile west of Dremiglava.
June 30th.— (Dremiglava.) Our camp here is one of the pleasantest we have been in, although down in the plain.
We have a splendid spring within a hundred yards, and there are vineyards and fig-trees, which break the monotony of the otherwise treeless and parched landscape.
But it is hotter than ever, and the flies are a perpetual worry.


Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll invited University of Toronto psychology professor Jordan Peterson to speak to his staff Thursday, and tweeted out a picture of himself and his guest speaker.
But after looking into Peterson, one thing is clear: he's a strange choice as a guest speaker for an NFL team.
In many ways, he is also a right-wing Internet celebrity. Peterson's YouTube channel has over 1 million subscribers, and he has more than 660,000 followers on Twitter.
Peterson recently talked about the "disappearing masculinity in America" in an interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson. In the interview, Peterson said that "centuries of oppression of women by men is an absolutely, reprehensible, ideological re-write of history," and that this is what is taught largely in schools and universities, and that this is harming young boys.
In an interview with Vice News, Peterson said that women who have been abused and harassed in Hollywood — which has sparked the #MeToo movement over the past year — have contributed to their own harassment.
Peterson has been a very visible opponent to a Canadian bill outlawing discrimination based on gender identity and expression, and he got into a fiery interview with Channel 4 News in the United Kingdom that has been viewed more than 9 million times on YouTube.
Again, it's unclear what Peterson talked about on Thursday in Seattle. However, based on his history, his book and the reaction he constantly draws on the internet, Peterson seems like a strange choice for a guest speaker — especially in a league as diverse as the NFL.

Q: Address of Video memory Address of video memory (0xB8000), who is mapping video memory to this address?
The routine which is copying the data from the address and putting to the screen, Is it a  processor inbuilt function (Is this driver comes with the processor)?

A: In most cases, the PC monitor is a VGA-compatible device, which by standard includes a mode for setting text buffer (32 KB sized) through MMIO starting from the address of 0xB8000.

The picture above summarizes how MMIO works.

A: What happens when you write to the address:
That area of the address space is not mapped to RAM, instead it gets sent across the system bus to your VGA card. The BIOS set this up with your VGA card at boot time (Lots of address ranges are memory mapped to various devices). No code is being executed on the CPU to plot the pixels when you write to this area of the address space. The VGA card receives this information instead of your RAM and does this itself.
If you wanted you could look BIOS functions calls and have it reconfigure the hardware so you could plot pixels instead of place characters at the video address instead. You could even probe it to see if it supports VESA and switch to a nice 1280*768 32bpp resolution. The BIOS would then map an area of the address space of your choosing to the VGA card for you.
More about the BIOS:
The BIOS is a program that comes with your motherboard that your CPU executes when it first powers up. It sets up all the hardware, maps all the memory mapped devices, creates various useful tables, assigns IO ports, hooks interrupts up to a bunch of routines it leaves in memory. It then loads your bootsector from a device and jumps to your OS code.
The left behind routines and data structures enable you to get your OS off the ground. You can load sectors off a disk, write text to the screen, get information about the system (Memory maps, ACPI tables, MP Tables .etc). Without these routines and data structures, it would be a lot harder if not impossible to make an acceptable bootsector and have all the information about the system to build a functional kernel.
However the routines are dated, slow and have very restrictive limitations. For one the routines left in memory are 16bit real mode code, so as soon as you switch to 32bit protected mode you have to switch back constantly or use VM86 mode to access them (Completely unaccessible in 64bit mode, Apparently emulating the instructions with a modified linux x86emu library is an option though). So the routines are generally very slow. So you will need to write your own drivers from scratch if you move away from real mode programming.

Technology and Human Dignity: The Contemporary Relevance of George Grant's Views
Eamon Joseph Brennan Mr., University of WindsorFollow
George Grant, Technology, Demythologization, Nature, Steven Vogel
George Grant argues that modern innovations in technology are delineated by what he terms 'the co-penetration of art and science', which disposes their rational methods towards the satisfaction of while in a purported 'spirit of creativity'. Though such a spirit has provided many benefits, a natural worry arises as to what may be justified, morally, within the parameters of such creativity. For Grant, such skepticism is well-founded as the gradual expansion of technology is co-measure with 'demythologization', that is, the loss of any sense of objective, transcendent purpose. Noting how this worrying trend invites a dangerous premise of making human life subordinate to such creative drives, Grant asserts that the highly individualistic nature of modern technological thinking ultimately challenges the idea of human dignity itself. However, in his Thinking Like a Mall, Steven Vogel argues for the non-existence of nature by attempting to demonstrate that the entire world is simply the result of Man's artifice. Labelling such projects as technological, Vogel goes on to say that each technology's 'wildness' prevents it from being absorbed into projects of mastery, negating concerns that technology will attempt to master human nature. Yet in presenting Grant's historical examination of the idea of technology, particularly as it relates to the ideas of 'progress' and Nietzsche's critique of the same, I will argue that Vogel's view of technology is ultimately inadequate as it does not satisfactorily what Grant identifies as the novelty of current technological thinking, which relates to the profound lack of a 'myth' to contextualize our moral decision making in modern technological thinking. Rather, Vogel's account is rather static inasmuch as it equivocates technology with artifacts and does not pay adequate attention to how the idea of technology has developed, particularly in recent history. As such, Vogel's moral program fails to address the issues that Grant raises, and thus reinscribes the most harmful aspects of technological thinking.

Kershaw League
Eaton Socon's Kershaw League title bid is rocked by draw at Fowlmere
Round-up of action in the Kershaw League, Premier Division including Eaton Socon's 1-1 draw away to Fowlmere
Eaton Socon player Lee Bassett.
Eaton Socon's title challenge took another blow with a 1-1 draw away to Fowlmere in the Kershaw League, Premier Division.
Ryan Hagger put Fowlmere in the lead after just 30 second when a long ball caught the Socon defence napping, allowing him to nip in and slide the ball under Andrew Wale.
David McMurrough had a great chance to double their lead moments later, but could not direct his shot goalwards.
An individual effort from Lee Bassett after 13 minutes bought Eaton level, but the goal came at a cost as a collision with the keeper meant he had to be substituted.
Socon huffed and puffed but could not break the Fowlmere defence down and, bar a Ben Wilks chance, they did not create a great deal and the game ended 1-1, meaning Eaton are now 10 points behind leaders Great Shelford.
Three goals in the last 15 minutes meant Hardwick kept up their title challenge with a 4-0 win against Over Sports.
The victory moves them just three points behind Great Shelford, with two games in hand.
Zac Knight-Percival opened the scoring for Hardwick after 20 minutes, however, the game remained tight until Dan Heron got his first of the day in the 75th minute.
Charlie Brown added another before Heron got his brace to make it 4-0 at full time.
Ollie Drake, Hardwick's manager, said while he was pleased with the victory, the most important thing for his team was getting the clean sheet.
He said: "They came to defend but did give it a really good go at times.
"It's one of those where you can say that you just got the job done.
"The sausages after the match tasted good as we got four goals, but even better as we kept the clean sheet, something we've been unable to do very often."
Shelford meanwhile were made to work hard for their 2-1 win over Hemingfords.
They started strongly, dominating possession, and were rewarded when Nick Impey scored after ten minutes.
Hemingfords skipper Andrew Ging equalised, scoring a header from a corner just five minutes later.
It would be his last action, however, as a clash in the area in the build-up to the goal saw him leave the pitch injured.
Josh Townshend restored Shelford's lead after 30 minutes but the rest of the game remained relatively equal, although Hemingfords were unable to really trouble the Shelford goal.
Hemingfords keeper, and man of the match, Tom Smith was called into action a few times towards the end of the match, making a string of fine saves to keep the deficit down to just the one goal.
Fernando Garcia's set-piece heroics help Cambridge City reserves defeat Lakenheath in Kershaw League


Skipped breakfast? Check. Elasticated waist? Check. Extremely hungry? Check. Well we certainly went to the right place.
If you're doing a bit of retail therapy in Norwich and, like us, can never really make a decision on what to eat, go to COSMO.
It's relaxed, easy on the pursestrings and it's all you like for one set price.
Already three hours into our shopping trip (and that was just in Jarrold) me and the girls decided to give this brand new restaurant chain a go. We were already close – COSMO is located in the old Habitat building – and some of my friends like spicy, some saucy, some traditional. It's hard to win.
It was dead-on 12 noon, which is when COSMO opens for lunch, and already there was a queue outside the door.
Riding up the escalator to the first floor, we were immediately pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was ultra-trendy, we could see the chefs cooking away and there was more than enough space to cater for everyone that had been waiting.
There were dishes upon dishes of everything – from Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai… you name it.
Once seated at our table, the waitress asked whether we'd been to COSMO before and kindly explained how it works. Basically, you go up, grab a plate, then help yourself. And do so as many times as you like until you feel very, very uncomfortably full. Challenge accepted!
We each went for the "bottomless" soft-drink option (saves impulse-buys later) and located the "starter" section.
The plates were the same size whatever the course – not full-size but substantial enough to fill you up after just two helpings, as I soon discovered.
I powered on, eating my way through pizza, pasta, curry, spring rolls, chips, chow mein, fried rice and sushi all before 1pm.
And then it was time for dessert! Slightly disappointed because we'd expected there to be a chocolate fountain, but our waitress explained that the fountain, and number of additional dishes, are introduced only in the evening when there are even more diners.
Deserts were pleasant "finger-food" options, including bite-size cheesecakes and mousses, as well as a selection of ice creams flavours to scoop for yourself.
Those of us not wise enough to remember to wear leggings had to discreetly unbutton before sidling up to the bar to pay the bill. We'd eaten A LOT so were expecting a heavy-blow. But all that food was just £7.99 each.
Hurrah! Plenty of pounds left to spend in Chapelfield!

Longton to Llanymynech
Today was characterised by some nice scenery and horrible roads.
Our destination was Llanymynech, originally selected solely because it would allow Christian to claim he had visited Wales without deviating too far from the quickest route south. However, the route itself was interesting if a little busy.
We started by following the A59 to Ormskirk then the B5197 and A506 to Melling because I have always wanted to use the Melling Road through Aintree racecourse. I was quite put out to discover that no-one in Switzerland had heard of the Grand National let alone Aintree. I suppose my English arrogance led me to assume that, as this horse race is part of our heritage, that the rest of the world must naturally consider it part of theirs.
From Aintree we got back onto the A59 and followed it into the middle of Liverpool and down to the Albert Docks and the Royal Liver Building at Pier Head where we waited for the ferry to cross the River Mersey (no-one in Switzerland knows the song either!)
Being a Sunday the Ferry was as much a tour of the waterfront as a means of crossing the river, so at least they were playing said song over the P.A. as we set sail.
From the Ferry terminal at Birkenhead we followed the A41 to Chester and then walked though most the city because it demands your attention.
Chester at weekends is alive with street performers and people window shopping amongst beautiful old Tudor buildings. Christian was also keen for a quick stop to find out if Roger Federer had won the final at Wimbledon (I concluded that the Swiss obviously pick and choose their English heritage carefully!)
From Chester we took the B5445 to Wrexham and then the B5605 to Ruabon, where we met up with the A5.
On a road map the A5 is a thin little green line, much narrower than the A483 we had used B roads to avoid. In reality is a very busy dual carriageway which, as luck would have it, featured a lot of road works with lane closures too narrow for a lorry to pass a cyclist. The extra effort we exerted into trying to get up the long hill as quick as we could was not appreciated at all by the traffic behind us, a fact they were gracious enough to point out whenever an opportunity to overtake occurred!
The A5 turns right at Oswestry, as does most of the traffic and the last bit of the journey along the A483 was much quieter. After stopping for more inevitable photos at the 'Welcome to Wales' sign just after Four Crosses we stopped for dinner at a pub and then cycled the short distance to the guest house in Llanymynech.

When Yolanda Covington-Ward visited the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2005 as a Fulbright scholar, she met people who interpreted her presence there as the fulfillment of a prophecy – and, in a sense, it was.
Covington-Ward arrived in the midst of a religious, political, and cultural movement seeking to restore the nation to a previous era. It was led by a group called Bundu dia Kongo. One of their heroes was Simon Kimbangu, a religious leader who founded a Christian prophetic movement called kingunza or Kimbanguism in the early 1920s. Though Kimbangu died in 1951, his followers believed that African Americans would one day arrive to help liberate the Congo. And there was Covington-Ward, a graduate student from the United States, seemingly fulfilling that prediction.
But in some ways, the year she spent in the African country represented her own lifelong journey toward liberation. Her odyssey began in a housing project in New York's South Bronx, where she was born the oldest of six children in a family headed by a single mother. In the fifth grade, one of her teachers sparked Covington-Ward's interest in African culture. In middle school, a guidance counselor had the entire class apply to A Better Chance, a program that placed children in prestigious schools they would not otherwise be able to attend. Covington-Ward was accepted, and she was sent to live in a home with six other girls in a wealthy school district in a Philadelphia suburb. Yearning to escape the responsibility of helping to care for her younger siblings, she tasted freedom; but it came at a price.
Though she excelled in high school – both academically and in extracurricular activities, participating in student government, track, and basketball – Covington-Ward could not help but feel a widening disconnect.
"Every time I had to take the train back home and go from the lush suburbs of Philadelphia to the graffiti of the Bronx, it was an eye-opener," she recalls. Her siblings were struggling in overcrowded and underfunded public schools; eventually, three of them would drop out before graduation.
"They were not following the same trajectory. So it was very difficult for me," she says.
And while she was surrounded by mentors and peers at her new school, Covington-Ward felt the stirrings of a longing she hadn't previously known: to learn more about her own culture. She purposely selected African-American writers as the topic of her English assignments, for example.
"I think this was my own response to being in a majority-white environment for the first time ever," she says. In New York, she never saw white children unless she went downtown. But in suburbia, missing her family, she began to explore the ideas that her fifth-grade teacher had first introduced.
She attended Brown University on a full academic scholarship, enrolling in a prestigious eight-year program that included acceptance to medical school. Though she enjoyed biology, she chose the program largely because she thought becoming a doctor would enable her to take care of her family financially. Yet she also continued drifting toward Africana studies, balancing the classes she loved with her pre-med workload.
Her career path changed during her junior year, when she spent a semester at the University of Ghana.
"I think that experience also confirmed for me: if I'm going to do something with my life, this is what I want to do," Covington-Ward says. She discussed her decision with her family, getting their blessing to leave the medical school path — "and I never went back," she says.
She attended graduate school for cultural anthropology at Michigan on a full scholarship, assuming legal guardianship for one of her younger sisters who was struggling in school. Eventually, that sister did graduate from high school in Ann Arbor.
When she applied to Pitt's Department of Africana Studies for a tenure-stream position in 2007, Covington-Ward was impressed by the department's faculty, impressive history, and community engagement, as well as the opportunity to collaborate with so many other programs. She was hired by the department, completed her PhD in 2008, won a post-doctoral fellowship from Michigan, then started teaching at Pitt in 2009.
In 2016, she published a book, Gesture and Power: Religion, Nationalism, and Everyday Performance in Congo, based on studies that began when she was a doctoral student. It was recently awarded the prestigious Elliott P. Skinner Book Award from the Association of Africanist Anthropology.
Covington-Ward's research focused on the way people used their bodies to advocate for social and political change, particularly a type of trembling, believed to be caused by the holy spirit, that was a hallmark of Kimbangu and his followers. The trembling inspired them to leave European missionary churches and found their own. Threatened by this precursor to nationalism, the colonial government arrested thousands of people – men, women, and children – for trembling, including Kimbangu himself.
Another body movement involved a hand clap and genuflection that older people still use when greeting someone; it is a holdover from a form of prayer that rousts ancestors through clapping. Even after returning to the United States, Covington-Ward found herself still using the greeting.
Already, she has completed research for her next book, focusing on Liberian immigration and identity formation. The project was funded in part by a grant from Pitt's Central Research Development fund as well as Dietrich School research grant. Her goal is to finish the book by the end of 2018, though she acknowledges that this journey, like the others she has pursued, must find its own pace.
