Imelda Stark is back with her second foray into novel-length erotica. This highly arousing new BD/SM fantasy follows the story of a beautiful 34 year-old single mother, Janice, the former prima ballerina and current director of a local ballet troupe who has allowed her work to interfere with her parenting of her equally stunning 16 year old daughter, Chloe. The rebellious daughter is the spitting mage of her tall, blonde mother, but the similarity appears to end with their looks, as Chloe is reckless and defiant, finally ending up in a third-strike drug conviction in front of a strict local Judge. The magistrate sentences the insolent girl to a mysterious local school for incorrigible young women whose method of rehabilitation consists of immediate and severe corporal punishment, usually consisting of public spankings delivered to the naked bottoms of the miscreants, but often taking more exotic forms as well. The Headmasterand his imperious Latina assistant, the Matron, rule the Institute with the strictest discipline, subjecting the girls, as well as the female staffers and teachers (all of whom are former students selected for their beauty and enjoyment of giving and receiving corporal punishment) to frequent and thorough painful attentions to their bottoms and other tender areas. Staff members are additionally required to give and receive sexual gratification in a variety of ingenious ways to their two dominant leaders.

Janice is required to witness Chloe's inital interview with the Headmaster and Matron, which turns out to consist primarily of a long naked spanking. The tall blonde single mother is shocked to find herself sexually aroused by her rebellious daughter's punishment, and impulsively volunteers to undergo the same treatment on the spot. This leads to a series of highly erotic scenes between the dancer and the two dominant administrators. Meanwhile, Chloe's painful but highly sexual progress through the gauntlet of the teachers and staff members of the school is chronicled, and readers will meet and follow the side-plots of a number of beautiful inhabitants of the Institute. In the end, mother and daughter both realize that in addition to their blonde beauty, they also share their sexually submissive natures..

World’s first book written to illustrate the on-camera spot metering technique for 35mm, Digital, and Medium Format photographers:

All types of metering systems used in different cameras (with the exception of the on-camera spotmeter operated by a skilled photographer) use a "cookie-cutter" approach to photographic exposure. What this means is the camera meter measures the various tones of your subject, and then averages all of the tones in order to come up with an overall exposure. Sometimes the overall exposure works and sometimes it doesn't. With this approach, the ball is in the camera's court and in many instances the photographer has no hand in the final look of the image. With on-camera spotmetering, the photographer uses a "tailored" approach to find the correct exposure for a very specific subject. With this approach, the skilled photographer interprets the spotmeter readings from the subject and establishes the correct exposure that captures the desired image (what the eye sees) on film. The consistency and flexibility of the narrow-angled spotmeter makes it the most powerful and versatile exposure tool in existance today. The only catch in using a spotmeter is that the photographer must have the skill to use this powerful tool correctly and effectively. The Confused Photographer's Guide to On-Camera Spotmetering does just that! It is simple, easy-to-follow, and uses a common-sense teaching approach to the material. With more than seventy full-page illustrations, it is designed to get the beginner and the intermediate photographer started in a couple of days. I assume that you have a camera with a built-in spotmetering (partial metering) feature. I also assume that you have a ninth grade education and are willing to learn. To facilitate your learning process, I have included a two page cheat sheets for each of the following cameras: Canon EOS 10D Digital Slr, Canon EOS 20D Digital Slr, Canon EOS 3, Canon EOS A2/A2E, Canon EOS Elan 2E, Canon EOS Elan 7E, Canon EOS Rebel 2000, Canon EOS Rebel Ti/300V, Canon PowerShot G3 Digital, Canon PowerShot G5 Digital, Minolta Maxxum 5, Minolta Maxxum 7, Minolta Maxxum 9, Minolta Maxxum StSi, Nikon CoolPix 990 Digital, Nikon CoolPix 995 Digital, Nikon CoolPix 4500 Digital, Nikon CoolPix 5700 Digital, Nikon Coolpix 5000 Digital, Nikon Coolpix 8700 Digital, Nikon D70 Digital Slr, Nikon F4, Nikon F5, Nikon F100, Nikon N50, Nikon N55, Nikon N60, Nikon N6006, Nikon N65, Nikon N70, Nikon N75, Nikon N80, Nikon N8008s, Nikon N90/N90s, Pentax *ist, Pentax *ist-D Digital SLR, Pentax 645N Medium Format, Pentax MZ-S, Pentax PZ-1P, Pentax ZX-5N, and Sony DSC-F717 Digital. If your camera is not listed here, you will still be able to learn the technique and apply it successfully..

Breast MRI has emerged as a valuable adjunct to the conventional imaging modalities in the detection of primary and recurrent breast cancer. Yet, most radiologists who rely on MRI do not have knowledge of the fundamentals so essential to achieving and maintaining high image quality.

With a focus on the basic imaging principles of breast MRI rather than on mathematical equations, this book takes a practical approach to imaging protocols that helps radiologists increase their diagnostic effectiveness. The text walks the reader through the basics of MRI, making it especially accessible to beginners. From a detailed outline of equipment prerequisites for obtaining high quality breast MRI to instructions on how to optimize image quality, expanded discussions on how to obtain optimized dynamic information, and explanations of good and bad imaging techniques, the book covers the topics that are most relevant to performing breast MRI.

By presenting the key aspects of breast MRI in straightforward terms and with clear images, this practical book benefits all practitioners seeking to increase their working knowledge and competence in breast MRI. It fills an important gap in the literature and is also of value to residents preparing for the diagnostic radiology boards.

A text in language and linguistics which is a one-volume description of the Spanish language and its differences from English, it ranges from pronunciation and grammar to word meaning, language use, and social and dialectical variation. Designed for survey courses in Spanish linguistics with technical concepts explained in context for beginners in the field, Spanish/English Contrasts brings out the ways in which insights into the two languages have evolved as scholars have built on the work and research of others in the field. A bilingual glossary of linguistic terms is provided to facilitate discussion in either language. This second edition is thoroughly updated to incorporate insights and issues that have come to the fore from the explosion of research in the past 25 years in all of the areas covered by the book. It includes an expanded bibliography and index, and adds new exercises for student application and class discussion. Its approach remains broadly based however, in order to accommodate a range of areas and data rather than focusing narrowly on one single theory or research area, and it continues to emphasize implications for language teaching, translation, and other practical applications..

Teachers of English to speakers of other languages face many challenges, not the least of which is the linguistic diversity of their students. Each student faces difficulties with different English sounds depending on those sounds and distinctions of his or her native language. To help minimize the time spent tailoring classroom materials to the needs of each student, Nilsen and Nilsen have compiled a comprehensive volume on those sound contrasts distinguished in English. They provide extensive lists of both vowel and consonant contrasts, each with phonetic diagrams and descriptions, minimal pairs (both isolated and in sentences), and specific languages for which the contrast may be problematic. Both prospective and practicing teachers will appreciate the freedom of not having to compile these materials themselves. Instead, they can focus on their primary goal the teaching of English..
