A bimbo teacher's assistant may not be the best at grading papers, but there are many other highly-personal tasks she could excel at if only given the chance. All that Elsie wanted was to go home and grade the rest of her student's papers in peace, but the professor she worked under, Dr. Thomas, had other ideas. Stressed beyond belief with grades, tuition expenses, and her work as Dr. Thomas' assistant, Elsie became annoyed at every little issue that arose. During a mini-breakdown, her professor comes to her with a plan that would take care of all of her stress in hardly any time at all. Not to mention, she'd have fun doing it! All she has to do is read a special poem he has hidden away, one with transformative powers to bring out the hidden bimbo in even the most intelligent of people... Read along to see what happens after Elsie reads the poem and transforms into a lust-crazed, blonde, busty bimbo with marbles for brains! Dr. Thomas could use some stress relief as well: perhaps they should enjoy some alone time together locked away in his office? Warning: This story contains body transformation, bimbofication, rough sex, and more. This is not a tale for the faint of heart. bimbo modification, bimbo transformation, teacher student sex, bimbo transformation erotica

Abby Abernathy is re-inventing herself as the good girl as she begins her freshman year at college, which is why she must resist lean, cut, and tattooed Travis Maddox, a classic bad boy.

Crops experience an assortment of environmental stresses which include abiotic viz., drought, water logging, salinity, extremes of temperature, high variability in radiation, subtle but perceptible changes in atmospheric gases and biotic viz., insects, birds, other pests, weeds, pathogens (viruses and other microbes). The ability to tolerate or adapt and overwinter by effectively countering these stresses is a very multifaceted phenomenon. In addition, the inability to do so which renders the crops susceptible is again the result of various exogenous and endogenous interactions in the ecosystem. Both biotic and abiotic stresses occur at various stages of plant development and frequently more than one stress concurrently affects the crop. Stresses result in both universal and definite effects on plant growth and development. One of the imposing tasks for the crop researchers globally is to distinguish and to diminish effects of these stress factors on the performance of crop plants, especially with respect to yield and quality of harvested products. This is of special significance in view of the impending climate change, with complex consequences for economically profitable and ecologically and environmentally sound global agriculture. The challenge at the hands of the crop scientist in such a scenario is to promote a competitive and multifunctional agriculture, leading to the production of highly nourishing, healthy and secure food and animal feed as well as raw materials for a wide variety of industrial applications. In order to successfully meet this challenge researchers have to understand the various aspects of these stresses in view of the current development from molecules to ecosystems. The book will focus on broad research areas in relation to these stresses which are in the forefront in contemporary crop stress research.

"David Elkind [is] one of psychology's leading lights."--Washington Post With the first edition of The Hurried Child, David Elkind emerged as the voice of parenting reason, calling our attention to the crippling effects of hurrying our children through life. He showed that by blurring the boundaries of what is age appropriate, by expecting--or imposing--too much too soon, we force our kids to grow up too fast, to mimic adult sophistication while they secretly yearn for time to act their age. In the more than two decades since this book first appeared, our society has inadvertently stepped up the assault on childhood through the media, in schools, and at home. In this twenty-fifth anniversary edition of this classic, Dr. Elkind adds important new commentary to put a quarter century of trends and change into perspective for parents today, including a detailed, up-to-the-minute look at the Internet, classroom culture, school violence, and movies and television. Showing parents and teachers where hurrying occurs and why, Elkind offers insight, advice, and hope for encouraging healthy development while protecting the joy and freedom of childhood. "A landmark book."--Chicago Sun-Times
