Improving Schools through Collaborative Enquiry
David Jackson, Julie Temperley, "Improving Schools through Collaborative Enquiry"
2005 | ISBN-10: 0826470572, 0826470580 | 168 pages | PDF | 8,1 MB
It is hard for individual practitioners to explore their practice and the issues and questions it raises about learning and teaching, on their own. Practitioners need the support of colleagues to make sense of the complexities of their practice. This book is about how collaborative enquiry can be developed amongst practitioners in schools, and between practitioners across schools. It alsp places emphasis on why it is important to do so. The authors show how a system underpinned by the accumulated knowledge of practitioners can transform learning and teaching.

This report describes the results of an inter-comparison study conducted for the sampling and analysis of NO2 and SO2 by using different type of passive samplers in tropical urban environment. For this purpose, field experiments were proposed to be conducted by two round robin tests from Sept. 2007 to Aug. 2008 in Singapore. A set of different types of passive samplers have been exposed to ambient air at atmospheric research station in National University of Singapore along with suitable active samplers (as reference method) for a sufficient period of time (3-4 weeks). Annular denuder system (ADS) active sampling data showed that NO2 concentration level (23.8-28.1 ppb) in Singapore was slightly higher than the WHO guideline but SO2 concentration (12.5-14.9 ppb) was approximately twice the value of WHO guideline. For the two round robin tests, accuracy analysis by using active sampling data as reference demonstrated that grand mean values from passive air sampling (PAS) and active sampler average concentrations, for both NO2 and SO2, are in close agreement with each other. Precision evaluation based on the triplicate samplers co-located at the same sampling site - Singapore showed that most of the passive samplers applied here had repeatability. ANOVA statistical analysis also showed no significant difference between the measurement data obtained by different type of passive samplers for both round robin tests in Singapore. © Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from anthropogenic sources pose direct and indirect hazards to both atmospheric environment and human health due to their contribution to the formation of photochemical smog and potential toxicity including carcinogenicity. Therefore, to abate VOCs emission, the catalytic oxidation process has been extensively studied in laboratories and widely applied in various industries. This report is mainly focused on the benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) with additional discussion about chlorinated VOCs. This review covers the recent developments in catalytic combustion of VOCs over noble metal catalysts, nonnoble metal catalysts, perovskite catalysts, spinel catalysts, and dual functional adsorbent-catalysts. In addition, the effects of supports, coke formation, and water effects have also been discussed. To develop efficient and cost-effective catalysts for VOCs removal, further research in catalytic oxidation might need to be carried out to strengthen the understanding of catalytic mechanisms involved. © 2016 Marco Tomatis et al.

Atmospheric Research | Year: 2016
Due to the rapid industrialization of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region in China, heavy air pollution episodes have occurred frequently over the past five years which are of great concern due to their environmental and health impacts. To investigate the chemical characteristics of the highly polluted aerosols in this region, a sampling campaign had been conducted in Ningbo from 3 December 2012 to 27 June 2013, during which a month long high pollution episode had been captured. Daily average PM2.5 concentrations during high and low pollution periods were 111 μg m- 3 and 53 μg m- 3, respectively. The most polluted day was 8 January 2013 with a PM2.5 concentration up to 175 μg m-3. To understand the origin of the highly polluted aerosols, meteorological conditions, air mass backward trajectories, distribution of fire spots in surrounding areas and various categories of aerosol pollutants were analyzed, including trace metals, inorganic species, PAHs and anhydrosugars. Total metal concentrations were 3.8 and 1.6 μg m- 3 for the high and low pollution episodes, respectively, accounting for 3.4% and 3.1% of the total PM2.5 mass. Total concentrations of ionic species accounted for more than 50.0% of the PM2.5 by mass, with dominant ions (nitrate, sulfate, ammonium) accounting for over 42.0% of the PM2.5 mass concentrations in both periods. During the high pollution episode, enhanced Cd-Pb and biomarker (levoglucosan, mannosan) levels indicated the contributions from coal combustion, traffic and biomass burning to fine aerosol PM2.5. The average diagnostic ratio of Fla/(Fla + Pyr) was 0.54 in high pollution episode, which was intermediate between that for wood (>0.50) and coal combustion (0.58). BaP/Bpe was 0.49 and 0.30 for the highly and lightly polluted aerosols respectively, associated with the significant non-traffic emissions (<0.60). In addition, stagnant weather conditions during the high pollution period and long-range transport of air masses from heavy industries and biomass burning from northern China to Ningbo could be considered as the main factors for the formation of the aerosols during high pollution period. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

In order to understand the formation and evolution of recurrent severe haze pollution episodes in Yangtze River Delta, China, a short comparative sampling campaign was conducted at the Lin'an background monitoring station from 25 November 2013 to 14 December 2013. The characteristic concentrations of PM2.5, black carbon, CO2, CO, and CH4 have been systematically recorded at the abovementioned site. Coupled with detailed analysis of air backward trajectories, fire spot distribution surrounding the studied site and meteorological impacts, temporal trend, diurnal variation, and intercorrelation of the aforementioned species have also been comprehensively investigated throughout prehaze, haze, and posthaze periods. © 2016 Hong-Hui Xu et al.

Atmospheric Pollution Research | Year: 2015
PM1.0and PM2.5 samples are collected in Lin'an, a Regional Atmosphere Background Station in spring (1–30 April), summer (1–31 July), autumn (1–31 October) and winter (1–31 January) in 2011 to investigate the seasonal characteristics of aerosol pollution in the Yangtze River Delta region. The daily concentrations of water-soluble ions are 24.6 ± 12.0 mg m–3 and 36.6 ± 23.6 μg m–3 in PM1.0 and PM2.5, respectively. SO4 2–, NO3 – and NH4 + are the dominant contributors of water-soluble ions, accounting for 78.6% (spring), 83.5% (summer), 80.6% (autumn) and 81.9% (winter) of the total ions measured in PM1.0 and 80.2% (spring), 85.4% (summer), 78.9% (autumn) and 78.9% (winter) inPM2.5. Seasonal variation is observed, with the lowest ions concentration in winter and the highest one in summer. Nevertheless, the crustal elements (e.g., Ca,Mg, Al, Fe, etc.) have the highest concentrations in spring. Most of the pollution species (Sb, Se, Cd, Pb, As and Zn) have enrichment factor values higher than 100, implying a strong possibility that the air pollution originates from anthropogenic sources and have no evident seasonal variation. The high concentration of Kþ and biomass burning potassium (K+ BB) in PM2.5 in autumn and winter and its good correlation with black carbon (r = 0.74) suggest that the most severe pollution derives from biomass burning. Factor analysis results indicate that road dust, combustion processes (biomass burning and fossil fuels combustion), sea salt from marine sources and industrial activities are main sources of aerosol pollution in Lin'an. © 2015 Turkish National Committee for Air Pollution Research and Control.

SH2/SH3 adaptors of the Crk and Nck families transduce signals by bringing together tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins that bind their SH2 domains with downstream effectors that bind their SH3 domains. These adaptors play a critical role in regulating a variety of normal cell behaviors such as adhesion and motility, while abnormal signaling by Crk can induce oncogenic transformation and may play a role in human cancer. Despite their central role in signaling, understanding their mechanism of action is challenging because they bind to many proteins in the cell with similar affinity, and their activities are highly dependent on their subcellular localization and the local concentration of potential binding partners. We propose an interdisciplinary research plan, using approaches ranging from quantitative computational modeling, phosphoproteomics, live-cell imaging, and in vivo tumorigenicity assays, to reveal in molecular detail the mechanism of action of Crk and Nck adaptors in important biological activities. Specifically, the experiments proposed here will 1.) elucidate the molecular basis for the positive role for the Sos1 guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) and the negative role for Abl tyrosine kinases in transformation by Crk;2.) elucidate the mechanisms whereby Abl-Crk and Abl-Nck complexes regulate local actin cytoskeletal organization, such as the balance between filopodia and lamellipodia in spreading cells;and 3.) use a spatial computational model of actin dynamics, together with experimental methods to manipulate local concentrations of Nck and other signaling proteins in living cells, to obtain a quantitative understanding o how Nck controls the local state of actin polymerization in the cell.
Signals mediated by tyrosine phosphorylation control a host of important biological activities, and when dysregulated can cause human diseases such as cancer and immune disorders. SH2/SH3 adaptors play a central role in tyrosine kinase signaling, but their specific mechanism of action is poorly understood. The proposed studies will provide specific, mechanistic details about adaptor function that will provide insight into basic biological processes as well as how these processes can be subverted in disease.

Measurements are most commonly made in the SI system, which contains seven fundamental units: kilogram, metre, candela, second, ampere, kelvin, and mole. Six of these units are artifact-free (defined without reference to a particular physical object which serves as a standard); the definition of one remaining unit, the kilogram is still embodied in an artifact which rests at the BIPM outside Paris. #Glogster #Measurement #Education
This unusual artifact is ground all over, with a very smooth feel on both sides. This is a well defined example of a rarely found Texas artifact. It is made of a banded color limestone. Though the boatstone itself is only ever so slightly concave it was very purposefully polished to it's present shape. This artifact may have been used as a weight, designed to counter balance an ancient spear throwing stick known as an Atlatl. Boatstones are very rare in Texas.

I'm freshly back from SES New York and eager to make good use of the new information I've discovered. Surprisingly, the first thing I'm most eager to try out is not a marketing tactic or new social media concept. I'm ready to rediscover Bing.
During the week of crazy networking that SES truly delivers on, I met up with Stefan Weitz, Director of Bing Search who showed me some pretty neat features. Bing has been making moves that have gone widely under the radar.
Leveraging the Semantic Web
Bing added many features at the end of last year that were under-reported, but very cool. Search has become more and more interactive. However, in the end it all has been coming down to blue links.
Sometimes there are 10; sometimes there are more or less. There's one boxes and all kinds of other in-line helpers, but they all have blue links. No more.
Microsoft is leveraging social sites and user-generated data to create a more unique experience than most people generally expect from a search result page. For example, Bing recently started including data from two major social sites into its results.
OpenTable integration into Bing local search allows people to book reservations from the restaurant details page directly from a Bing result page. Similarly FanSnap widgets are also integrated into Bing local search, allowing users to view and purchase tickets for concerts, shows and sporting events right from within the search experience.
Keying in on their goal to be the decision engine, Bing is attempting to leverage the semantic Web to not only guess the type of data people are looking for, but also to make follow-up steps more convenient. Not only is Bing trying to better understand the average searcher's behavior, they are also visually organizing search results in a useful way to help people accomplish tasks faster.
Bing is cautious of negatively affecting click throughs. Leveraging content from other publishers is useful for both Bing and the publishers to better interact with users, thereby driving more qualified traffic that will engage more deeply with the publishers, rather than sending visitors who will only stay for a brief visit. Bing looks at this as a win-win situation for everyone.
While their focus continues to be promoting the search user's experience by shortening the time it takes to perform actions based on their search, Microsoft will be continuing to monitor click-through rates to ensure there is no negative impact on content publishers.
Video: Announcing New Bing Maps & Local Features: Interior Views, Enhanced OpenTable Integration, Real-Time Transit, and Streetside for Mobile
Deals on Bing Mobile
Another innovative way Bing is leveraging content from across the semantic Web is by including information on over 200,000 deals from Groupon, Living Social and other daily deal sites. By incorporating this information into Bing Mobile, it allows you to find deals immediately in your vicinity.
While in New York for SES, this was a big deal. Bing took deals from over 14,000 cities and narrowed them down to show me deals specifically in and around Midtown Manhattan.
If you haven't seen Bing mobile lately, it has undergone some major changes. The entire mobile site feels more like an app than a mobile page in a browser. In fact, when I first hit the site I had to do a double-take because it made my browser look like a Windows phone, complete with large fonts that afford the touch interface.
These are just a few of the innovative advancements Bing is doing to improve search beyond the basic 10 blue links. In my 2010 Search Recap, I said Bing would have to get innovative to gain search share. They seem to be well on their way.
For a different search experience, join me in giving Bing a second look, then post your comments here!

If I tell you I have the secret formula for any entrepreneur to succeed, you may not believe me. But if Neil Patel, New York Times best selling author and a person The Wall Street Journal calls 'the web's top influencer' tells you, "My secret formula is the greatest", you will probably believe him.

Pairing/Group: Jun/Nino (Arashi)
Rating/Warnings: NC-17 (AU, language, light bondage)
Word Count: ~4,800
Summary: Captain Matsumoto Jun and his crew of sky pirates take a sojourn in Arcadia. 1st Mate Nino gets himself into a bit of a tight spot.
Notes: For the 2010 je_fqfest exchange. This story worked my last nerve. It's pretty last minute so I apologize for that. There's a bit of action in there too, which I'm not very good at, but I tried. This AU is loosely based on the world from Final Fantasy 12. Thanks to aeslis for the last minute beta! gimmick_game, I hope you like this.
Captain's Log: July 25
I've been neglecting to write. There's been naught much to record since we left Grecia. All we've done is chase stories of forgotten wealth and treasure secreted away to dead ends, flitting from village to village for no more than a few days at a time. The crew was starting to become restless for solid ground beneath their feet and a soft bed, and someone to share it (not that I can commiserate). So we set out for Arcadia.
The Sky City Arcadia sits high above the continent, a neutral city-state when the treat of war is constant. The Margrave of Arcadia keeps peace between the large Imperial Empire in the northwest and the smaller independent republics that seek to keep their freedom. Being far above the sandsea, an arid wasteland where nothing lives or dies, Arcadia is a popular destination for those wishing to remain unfound. With its vaulted arches and fine stone masonry, it's not a bad place to do it.
The last time I was here, I stowed away aboard a cargo ship bound for the southern desert kingdoms. And I met Nino... How far we've come.
The Margrave's treasury is said to contain more gold and jewels than even a king could use in a lifetime, gifts of friendship and tribute. But the city's military force is not something to be provoked lightly. Only a fraction of the size of the Imperial army, but equal in strength and courage. Though tempting, it's better to pursue other riches, lest we become the centre of attention. It wouldn't do to be on the run from one of the most skilled forces on or above the continent.
We've been here for nearly a week and I still don't know where we should head next. We aren't ready to leave anyway, so I suppose it doesn't matter much. Nino tells me that we're waiting for the last of our provisions to come into stock, and Aiba's talked me into letting him do some modifications on the Legacy and is still searching for parts. Who knows when we'll have access to a proper dry dock again? She's overdue for a tune-up, in any case. We've rented some rooms near the bazaar. Thick with thieves, it's not the safest ward in the city to stay, but we fit right in. The rent is cheap and perhaps we'll hear of something to pirate.
The flimsy curtains do nothing to cut the bright southern sunlight, making the headache behind my ears bloom faster. I untangle myself from the sheets and knock over the finished wine bottle beside the bed. Well, that would certainly explain the headache. The bed is cold and empty which means Nino didn't come back here last night.
Waking up horny and alone isn't the best way to start off a day. I can feel my brow furrowing into a frown already. Nino doesn't usually sleep in his own bed and certainly not when I've explicitly extended an invitation. He'd made some smart remark about putting the heavy walnut desk in my room to use and I'd been hoping to see him make good on his promise. I pull out a fresh shirt and make my way to the kitchen, wondering what in the world could have kept Nino occupied all night.
Ohno's got his head on the dining table and a fresh pot of coffee ready. "Looks like I'm not the only one who had a late night."
He groans something unintelligible and waves one hand limply.
"Coffee?" I assume.
Another wave and what looks like a nod. I don't even bother to hide my smirk. Ohno can hold his drink just fine, but he hasn't perfected the art of avoiding a hangover.
"I take it you had a good time then?" I ask, setting a mug of straight black coffee at Ohno's hand. He drinks deeply and rubs at his eyes, finally able to articulate.
"Pretty good. Nino kept winning at cards so I lost count of how many rounds we had."
Of course, the only thing Nino likes more than sex. "Well, that's when he feels most generous."
"He was up when I left, which was just after two. He said he'd be all right alone but I haven't seen him yet this morning." Ohno arches an eyebrow at me.
"He wasn't with me," I say over the rim of my mug, answering Ohno's implied question. As familiar as we are with each other, I'm still the captain.
"Maybe he's still playing. This wouldn't be the first time he's gone on an all-night bender. He'll probably come back later. He's got to sleep sometime."
"You'd be surprised how long he can go without sleep. But we aren't in any rush. There's still a few more things to load onto the ship and Aiba hasn't finished with his maintenance yet."
Ohno drains his coffee and pours himself a new cup. "Any idea where we're headed next?"
I shake my head and sigh. "Not a clue. I was hoping you heard something at the pub last night."
"There were some guys talking at the table next to us about some temple idol in Tufan. But I don't know where that is."
I pull out the maps that Sho had bought from the cartographer's guild and spread them on the table, weighing down the corners with my and Ohno's coffee mugs. I scan the peaks and valleys, oceans and continents, and finally come to a small plateau tucked away in a dense mountain range in the east. Far east. "I've always wanted to go to the other side of the sandsea."
I walk through the streets of Arcadia alone, peering down alleys and looking up to the second windows. It's long after noon and Nino hasn't returned yet. I should probably worry like the other three, but I know Nino's more than capable of taking care of himself, despite his size. I've decided to go see what has become of my quartermaster. It'll give me a chance to stem this growing irritation and ease the anxiety of the rest of my crew.
Most of the shutters are open to catch the breeze coming down from the west. The buildings in the south quarter are old, most made of red bricks, giving the streets a warm, dusty glow. The bakery that Nino used to steal buns from is still on the corner. I don't see him anywhere nearby so I buy two for old times sake, and to make up for past transgressions. My money may not be honestly earned, but it's money none the less.
The Egeo Tavern still lies at the far end of the south quarter. The colours on the sign have faded but not much else has changed. There's still the window down the side alley, the only place you could buy wine by the bottle for cash without question. A couple of gangly sixteen-year-olds drunk on contraband liquor and freedom was not an uncommon sight back then. It still isn't, by the looks of things, as a trio pass a bottle back and forth across the street.
The other thing the Egeo is famous for is its card tables. Being a floating city, there isn't much in the way of entertainment in Arcadia. High brow theatre holds no interest for the common sky captain, unfortunately for me. Apart from the dancing girls that will show you a little too much for the right price, there's only gambling.
I knew Nino was coming here for the cards when Ohno told me they were going to the tavern. He's not much of a drinker. I feel a little déjà vu as I push open the doors to the pub, to the place I first met Nino. My eyes go directly to the card table in the back corner, but his seat is empty, as is much of the rest of the bar.
"You lookin' for someone?" The bartender calls out as he comes up from the basement with a case of bottles in his hands.
"A friend of mine was here yesterday," I reply, "Maybe you saw him? About this tall, dark hair cut short, a mole on his chin."
"I know the one. He was at the Nas table all night. He had a mighty fine winning streak going 'til he got caught."
"Cheatin'. Kid was counting cards."
What did I say about keeping a low profile? I should have known. I didn't realize that was part of Nino's card magic but it really shouldn't surprise me. "So what happened after that?"
"Kid was playing some of the Margrave's boys and they don't take well to being conned. 'Specially out of that much money. Hauled him out of here none too gentle near mornin'."
I don't like the sound of that. "Do you have any clue where they might have taken him?"
"There's not a lotta places to go 'round here, cap'n. I'd check the departure log at the aerodome."
"Right. Well, thanks for your help." I didn't know the Margrave who resorted to strong-arming his citizens into abiding by the law. But everyone has their secrets.
I decide to skip a trip to the aerodome. If Nino's opponents were the type to execute capital punishment without a trial, I'm sure they wouldn't have bothered to be cleared for departure. The Margrave doesn't abide by coercion or theft either; that's the reason we had to leave Arcadia in the first place. The Serra Orriens mountain range along the eastern coast of the continent with it's maze of caverns unexplored would make the perfect dumping ground.
Sho and Aiba look startled when I stalk into the living room of our flat. I didn't think I'd slammed the door that hard. "Aiba, what's the status on the ship repairs?"
"Just finished this afternoon, sir. She's ready to go. You should see the upgrades I did to the engine, they're&"
"That's great. We're setting sail tonight," I grab my doublet from the back of the armchair and start snapping orders. "Ohno, go tell the landlady we'll be moving out. She can keep the rent money we've already prepaid. Sho, get packed. We've got a quartermaster to rescue."
They all start shouting questions at me but I don't have time, or patience, to answer any of them. I gather up the maps and charts strewn across the desk, stuffing them back into their tube. Except for a pair of Nino's breeches, the only other personal belonging in the room is the pistol I keep in the top drawer of the desk. I detest the thought of murder--it's far to messy--but for Nino, I'll make an exception.
The Serra Orriens run along the cost of the continent at the closest point to Arcadia. Being outside the city, the Margrave has not jurisdiction and the capital is several days ride west. There's no law to be enforced in this part of the world. We didn't have to spend long looking; just over the first ridge, at the mouth of a cave, a cruiser was parked. With the Margrave's insignia on the side.
I have Sho pull the Legacy around and anchor her in the next valley. There shouldn't be anyone else this far into the mountains so I don't bother cloaking the ship. I don't plan to be here long anyway.
"Sho, you wait with the ship. We need to be prepared to make a quick escape," I say, tucking my pistol into the holster at my hip. "Ohno, Aiba, I don't know what they're wielding but I don't want to risk collateral damage from bullets ricocheting off cavern walls. I don't think we'll be able to see much in there."
"I've just finished honing a few short swords, Jun," Ohno says, opening the weapons locker at the back of the ship. "Better take a dagger too, just in case."
I slip the dagger into my boot. Aiba and Ohno do the same. "All right, we're going to hit quick and we're going to hit hard. Follow my lead and don't hesitate to kill if you have to."
"Don't take too long," Sho calls as we disembark. "Who knows what kind of animals come out after dark around here." The sun is still high overhead so we've got a few hours of daylight left.
It takes a while for my eyes to adjust in the cavern. It's dark and narrow, the littlest sounds bounce off the rock face and echo loudly around us. I can hear the scree shifting beneath our feet and each time Aiba trips behind me. Maybe I should have gone after Nino alone. Four to one odds aren't that bad.
There are four of them sitting 'round a packing crate. It's hard to make out what they're saying with all the boisterous laughter but it can't be anything imperative. And there, behind them, tied to a chair and gagged, is Nino. He's breathing heavily, struggling against the bonds on his wrists. His skin has a sheen of sweat on it that catches what little light there is, his eyes glint with rage. I stall, rather enjoying the sight of Nino so uncomfortably strapped to his seat. The furrow of his brow says that his wrists have started chaffing. I quite like the way the ropes accentuate his chest.
Ohno nudges me in the back, wondering what's going on. Neither he nor Aiba can see. I tear my eyes away from Nino to see what the four thugs are doing. Cards. Of course, they're playing fucking cards. My irritation peaks because that's what caused this whole mess in the first place. Fucking cards.
"Last hand here, boys. Winner takes all," says the big one.
"What's the prize?"
"Winner gets to pull the trigger." The gamble starts in earnest now, each upping the ante a little higher.
Just as I reach for my pistol, rocks shift above us and come tumbling down the side of the cavern. We're showered with pebbles and dust and there goes our element of surprise.
"I'm sorry, Matsujun!" Aiba cries, "I couldn't see and I just put my hand there—"
"Aiba, now's not the best time! Just go!" If we waste any more time, we'll completely lose our advantage.
I quickly fall upon the short one, closest to the cave entrance before they've gotten a chance to move, striking him on the temple with the butt of my pistol. He slumps to the ground at my feet lifelessly. Ohno grapples the stout one on my left to the ground and I lose sight of them in the shadows; I can only hear shouts and curses mingling with punches and shifting rock underfoot. Aiba takes the lanky one on my right, slashing hazardously with his short sword. His opponent manages to get his sword unsheathed and the clash of steel echoes off the walls.
That leaves the rotund leader to me. He stumbles back as I leap over the makeshift table. He'd clearly not been expecting company—he fumbles for his sword hopelessly. I pistol-whip him across the face and he collapses to the stone floor limply. I stand over him with my finger on the trigger, waiting for him to move. I consider firing an insurance shot right through his temple but he's not worth it. He won't be moving for a while.
Ohno's got his opponent in a sleeper hold so it's only moments before he's unconscious. Aiba's adversary clutches his arm, his shirt sleeve stained dark red. He swings his weapon wildly, backing Aiba up against the cavern wall. I grab an abandoned stool and bring it down hard over his head with a crack, the wood splintering.
Adrenalin surges through my veins. I throw the broken chair leg in my hand against the wall; it clatters against the floor lamely in the silence of the cave as I stalk towards Nino. He mumbles something through the gag but I don't care to hear anything he has to say right now. I swiftly kick the side of his chair, knocking him over with a hard grunt, and pull the dagger from my boot to cut the ropes around his chest. I haul him to his feet and he turns to offer me the ties on his wrists.
"No, you can keep those on until we get back to the ship." Nino's nostrils flare as he snorts around his gag. I can just imagine the colourful words he's trying to sling at me.
We've set a course for the eastern continent, far away from Arcadia. This entire day has left a foul taste in my mouth. Pirate though I am, I had much respect for the Margrave. In the back of the cave, Aiba had uncovered a hoard of gold and silver, undoubtedly from the Margrave's treasury. Seems he's no better than the power hungry overlords of the capital, hiring petty bandits to take care of those who'd threaten the peace of his city, extending their authority however they see fit. It actually felt kind of good loading all that loot onto the ship. Steal from the rich.
I summon Nino to my quarters now that I've calmed down, somewhat. It still irks me that he'd even let himself get into this kind of situation. You might say I'm feeling a little territorial: I'm the only one who should be allowed to tie him up like that, but I'll never tell him that. He's got a big enough ego as it is.
"Sir," Nino draws out the syllable mockingly, "You called for me."
"Have a seat." I motion for the heavy chair on the opposite side of my desk.
"I think I've done enough sitting for one day, thanks."
I walk around to the other side of the desk and lay my hand heavily on Nino's shoulder, forcing him down into the chair. "I said, sit."
"Hey, what are you doing?" I pull two silk scarves from the back pocket of my trousers and strap Nino's wrists to the arms of the chair.
Nino looks at me contemptuously as I perch on the edge of the desk. I return his glare with equal force. "What the fuck were you thinking? Cheating? You know how strict the laws in Arcadia are."
"Counting cards isn't cheating. It's a skill. It's not like I was hiding aces up my sleeve. They were just sore losers."
"Sore losers who could have killed you."
Nino scoffs, "Right. If they'd been smart, they would have knocked me out, kicked me around a little for fun and then delivered the final blow. No fuss. And then they'd have played cards to celebrate. It's what I would have done."
"God, I could hit you right now!" I pound my fist on the desk to release some of frustration.
"I was nearly free of the ropes when you showed up and I had a knife in my boot. I would have been fine."
"How fine would you have been with a bullet hole in your forehead?" I pull out my pistol and put the muzzle of the gun between Nino's eyebrows, my finger hovering over the hammer.
"It wouldn't have happened." He continues to glower at me, refusing to admit his negligence.
"Do you know how many vulnerable parts of your body are exposed when you're tied to a chair?" I drag the muzzle across his forehead to his temple, and caress the side of his face with it. I put the pistol on the desk—I don't need it anymore to make my point. I know Nino's not going to apologize or admit his wrongdoing.
"I take it you're going to show me."
I start with his chin, taking it in my fingers and jerking his face to look up at me. "The chin, the throat, the collarbones." I slide my hand down the column of his neck and wrap my fingers loosely around the base of his throat. I push the collar of his white shirt out of the way and press a thumb into the hollow of his clavicle, just enough to make him wince.
I unbutton his shirt and push it over his shoulders to the elbows. "A shot to the solar plexus," I press my fist into the soft belly just beneath his ribs, "will have you incapacitated long enough for them to end your life. If they break a rib," I flatten my hands on either side of Nino's chest, "it could puncture an organ and you're done for. A stab to the stomach, a slash to the wrist, and you'll bleed to death."
I put a foot on each of the arms of the chair and push, sliding Nino away from the desk. I drop to the floor between his legs and clutch the backs of his knees. His eyes follow my hands as I undo the button on his breeches and tug them down his legs. "A swift kick to the back of the knee and you're not going anywhere. A slash to the back of the heel," I pinch the tender spot as I remove each leg from his pants, "and you'll probably never walk properly again."
"All right, I get it—" Nino protests.
"I'm not finished." I toss his breeches aside and settle between his knees. I skim my hands across the tops of his thighs; I can feel his pulse hammering in his inner thigh and my fingertips graze his balls. "Last but not least, the testicles. Perhaps the weakest point on a man's body." I cup his balls in one hand and squeeze firmly. Nino's mouth hangs open and a strangled sound tumbles from his lips. His cheeks pinken, though I'm not sure if it's more in embarrassment or arousal. His cock is already hard, streaking precum across his belly.
I pump him a few times before laving a wet stripe up the underside of his cock. His breathing hitches each time I flick my tongue beneath the head. I take my time, slow and sloppy, the way that gets Nino turned on the most. He's starting to squirm in his chair, swallowing his moans as I circle him with my fingers. He's so slick with precum and spit, twitching in my hand. I sit back on my heels and look into his glassy eyes.
"Surely," I say with another stroke, "I've made my point. I don't ever want to see you get yourself tied to a chair again. Unless you have some kind of torture fetish?"
"I think we both know which one of his has the fetish," Nino bites. "Why don't you cut the lecture and put those lips to good use while you're on your knees?"
I raise an eyebrow at Nino and still my hand on his dick. "Who is the captain on this ship, again?"
"Oh, come on. You can't be serious," Nino shifts in his chair again in a vain attempt to find some friction with my hand.
"Dead serious." I let him go, wiping my hand on the corner of his shirt and go to the sideboard to pour myself a glass of rum.
"I know how much you love to suck me off," Nino says, trying to bait me.
"I do indeed, but unlike you, Nino, I have some self-restraint."
"Are we still talking about the card game last night?" Nino huffs.
"We never stopped talking about it."
"What are you so bent about? Where did this skewed sense of self-righteousness come from? In case you haven't forgotten, Jun, we're sky pirates."
"You should have quit while you were ahead."
"We got more than I would have won in the end. I don't understand why I'm being subjected to this punishment when we scored big and undermined the Margrave's fucked up authority all in the same day. It's win-win. Everyone else has landed in worse spots than this; we can't even show our faces anywhere near Albion because Sho got himself involved with the governor's daughter and then broke her heart. This isn't fair."
"What's not fair is you not coming home when I waited up for you. You promised something about being bent over my desk. Do you know how hard it is to think about piracy with that sort of mental image?"
"You're pissy because I stood you up?"
I hate how Nino can be so shrewd sometimes. And yet, it's probably why we work so well together. I have too much pride to admit how I really feel but we've known each other long enough that I don't need to say anything.
"Well, I'm here now."
I put my glass on the desk and brace myself on Nino's thighs so I'm eye-level with him. I stare into his eyes long enough for the agitation to melt away. He's here now, naked but for his shirt and the silver chain I gave him that he never takes off. We're both too stubborn for apologies so I just kiss him. It's soft, given how charged everything else has been this evening. He's the one who opens to me first, slipping his tongue into my mouth to deepen the kiss.
I loosen the scarves binding Nino's wrists, pulling him out of the chair. He reaches for my waist and pulls my shirt loose from my trousers. His fingers fumble as I stroke his half-hard cock back to full erection.
"Put your hands flat on the desk," I say, pulling his shirt off entirely. He turns around and does as he's told without protest, only a feline smirk on his face. I circle around to return my pistol to it's resting spot in the top drawer, trading it for a jar of lubricant jelly.
Nino unscrews the jar while I finish undressing. His silhouette is tantalizing, but I've been thinking about this for so long, I'm already hard as diamond. "Shall I let you do the honours?" Nino asks over his shoulder, motioning to the lube.
"You've teased me enough today," I reply, coating two fingers with the jelly. I don't even wait for a witty retort, circling his asshole once before sticking both fingers in. Nino cries out at the suddenness of it, his arms buckling. I lean up against his back, pinning him to the desk as I work my fingers in and out. "Is this what you had in mind?" I murmur, teeth catching his ear.
Nino bucks against my hand, "More fucking, less talking."
I run my fingertips up the inside of his thigh, teasing him a little for his insolent remark. But I don't need to be told twice; I've been waiting too long for this. I slather some lube on my cock and press into Nino. He presses his face against the tabletop, gasping and arching under me as I pin his hips to the desk and fuck him slow and rough.
"God, you're so tight," I say, my voice gritty as I thrust and grind, angling to hit Nino's sweet spot. Nino claws at the edge, moaning low and ragged, "Yes, just like that," and I know I've found it. I love to see him like this, pliant and spread out under me, begging for whatever I have to give. Not that he would admit to it.
"That all you got?" Nino mutters, voice shaking with the force of our fucking. I snap my hips, pounding him hard into the wood.
I can feel Nino tensing inside, his balls drawing up, so turned on and ready, with each drag and push. I nip at the tender skin of his neck, sucking hard enough to leave a mark—he seizes under me as he comes with a shout, painting my hand and the front of my desk with white streaks. It's like fucking a velvet vice. I sink into Nino as deep as I can, dragging out his orgasm to that edge of pleasure and pain, coaxing more delicious sounds from him—tiny, almost needy moans—fucking him with short, hard strokes. I pull out just as my orgasm explodes, ripping a sob from Nino, my come streaking from his tail bone to shoulder blade.
It takes a while to unclench my fingers from Nino's hips. He's going to have fingerprint bruises in the morning. I lean against his back, slick with sweat and cum and catch my breath; he's still twitching beneath me, hypersensitive to my warm breath across his neck and shoulders.
It takes us both a couple minutes to articulate speech. "Fuck," Nino says.
"Yeah," I reply.
"You came on my back, asshole," he complains half-heartedly.
"Well, you came on my desk."
"You made me do it."
"You're right, I did."
"Maybe I should get tied to a chair more often if that's how you're going to fuck."
I reach for his chin and turn his face so I can kiss him, my mouth sealing over his. The possessiveness catches him by surprise and I swallow the little sound that escapes his throat.
"Only if I'm the one tying you down."
"Aye, aye, captain."

Herbs may lessen the size of inflamed prostate and also prevent the occurrence of the disease. Relief from irritating symptoms is also probable. First of all, it is essential to be aware of the possible cause of the condition. The strange growth might be activated by the appearance of dihydrotestosterone, which is created in the human body by the hormone of the males called testosterone and also an enzyme. The extract of palmetto berries may stop the manufacture of dihydrotestosterone in the body according to various studies, decrease the size of the prostate gland, helps in easy and less frequent urination and relieve any additional discomfort and pain. The berries can be derived from a little palm tree which are common in the southeastern coast in the United States. Panax ginseng may also give relief to some symptoms of inflamed prostate glands suspending the need for surgery or drugs. This herb may be used in forms of extract or dried roots.Bark of Pygeum Africanum tree has been used widely for the treatment of inflamed prostate in various European countries. Researchers have discovered that it reduces significantly the symptoms. Inflamed Prostate Nutritional Therapy Diets and supplementscan be able to treat the inflamed prostate. The elevated cholesterol have connected with a larger compared to the standard prostate and it is accompanied by signs. Diet which is lower in fats especially with saturated fat can give a lower cholesterol level. Vegetarian Diet can attain an overall decrease of dietary fats as well as saturated fats.Diets can directly affect health situation of the prostate as well. Lots of foods may aggravate prostate and it can worsen the condition. Sometimes the foods can also cause irritations of the urinary track and it can affect the urination. The zinc can immobilize the enzymes and aids it to the fabrication of dihydrotestosterone and it is recommended to the men who suffer prostate problems. Research had proved that patients can decrease the symptoms of prostate problems if the patient will add zinc to their diets.


text: Hey everyone, I'd like your opinions on this. I have a Sony KLV26GH2 which as you probably know doesn't support HDCP. It has only analog video inputs. I plan to import either a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player upon the US launch. What do you think the chances of Component video being supported are? Sadly it's looking pretty slim, despite the fact that D-Theater HD movies output over Component without any problem. So with this in mind, should I sell my TV now while it still has some sort of value? And immediately replace it with an HDCP compliant set? Or do you think I should just hang on and see what LCD TVs are available nearer the time that the next gen formats are actually available to me?

Air Canada refused to allow 85-year-old Ruth Hannah and her granddaughter to board a plane last Monday after they arrived TWO MINUTES late at the Pearson check-in counter.
They arrived at the airport at 10 p.m. to catch an 11 p.m. flight to P.E.I., in order to visit Hannah's dying brother.
Their arrival at check-in was slightly delayed after they were unable to locate a wheelchair for the elderly passenger at the airport's front doors.
The two women pleaded with Air Canada personnel to let them board, but the airline refused their request.
They claim that a customer service manager said "I don't care who is dying, you're late, too bad, so sad, you don't fly today."
Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick recently responded to the story after it made its way to the media: "This is a very regrettable situation and we are sorry the family was unable to travel in time. Unfortunately, they did arrive late for check-in, which is why they were not boarded."
Do you think Air Canada should have cut these two travelers some slack?

"In social tango you move with your partner and with the music. The relationship between you and your partner is not personal. What is personal between the two of you is that you both are trying to caress the music with your feet. A good tango dancer is one who listens to the music. We dance the music, not steps. You see, we are painters. We paint the music with our feet." Miguel Zotto "I think those who say that you can't tango if you are not Argentine are mistaken. Tango was an immigrant music... so it does not have a nationality. It's only passport is feeling.." - Carlos Gavito "The tango is the easiest dance. If you make a mistake and get all tangled up, you just tango on." Al Pacino in The Scent Of A Woman

Recent reviews
2.5 /5 from 168 reviews
Myself and my wife stayed here and we both thought it was really good. Read a lot of bad reviews none seemed to apply to are stay. Two things that come to mind are the stairs are steep but most places are like this in Amsterdam, they also had a lift however. The second is the shower took 5 mins to warm up and when you have that right temperature do not touch the settings as it can suddenly go cold haha. Would definitely stay there again as price is right and location is great. Finally note if your used to 5 star don't go here haha
Picked for location. It's a hostel expect the worst.
It was moderate and too much regrading money. The Stairs are so narrow and we weren't able to pass with our baggage (Hand bags). over all rating equals 6.00 maximum.
Relatively good. Staff were very helpful. But not so secured down the lobby when checking out very early 4am. May have been coincidence but drunk person and hookers loiter near the entrance
If you are looking for a luxury hotel this isn't it. It is, however, very close to everything and a great base to visit Amsterdam from. The beds were comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. There is a good restaurant directly below for breakfast and lunch. We stayed here for 3 nights in April 2016 and it was ideal for our trip at great price.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

It seems as if we only just got the telemarketer nuisance under control, unsolicited calls from insistent salespeople peddling magazine subscriptions, time-shares, can't-miss investment opportunities, mortgage refinancing and a whole cornucopia of sucker deals. Since the telemarketers wanted to call when most people would be at home, they often called at dinnertime. Telemarketing became synonymous with "really irritating."
Editor, President Barack Obama, the Democrats and the liberal media have endorsed and encouraged the protesters currently polluting New York City and elsewhere. They are trying to compare the dirty mobs protesting Wall Street to the Tea Party rallies, which are civil and leave their venues all cleaned up. The minority leader of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California, is proud of the rent-a-mobs, the dirty masses of hippies and union thugs trashing the streets as they broadcast their hatred of capitalism and America. They could be called the BEA party, as in "Bathed Enough Already."
Thomas David Petite has a very simple view on the immigration issue raging in the United States.
Dear editor: This letter is in response to the column regarding homosexuals in the military and the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell." While Christie Schroeder's column sounds good on the surface, showcasing her "tolerance" and "fair-mindedness," the fact is that allowing homosexuals to openly serve in the military is very wrong on many levels.
As we near our Sixth Annual Rivers Alive event on Saturday, Oct. 22, I wanted to give you an opportunity to test your own water smarts. This is an opportunity to find out just how much you know about taking care of our local waterways. This little quiz is courtesy of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Editor, I am sending you some of my suggestions on how to cut military spending. For my qualifications on this subject, I spent 21 years in the U.S. Army, plus I was a military brat before that.
Phooey - that's about the only reaction from an Atlanta Braves fan that's printable in a family newspaper after the 2011 team completed the worst September collapse ever.
Georgia's unemployment rate is at a six-month high - 10.4 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. That's more than a full percentage point higher than the national unemployment rate of 9.1 percent. All over the state, families are struggling to make ends meet. Some have to choose between paying bills and buying food.
It was 4 a.m. and I was up for the third time that night for yet another trip to the bathroom when I heard the rooster crowing.
Anyone requiring further explanation why the Georgia General Assembly adopted its own laws against illegal immigration during the last session of the General Assembly need only to consider the recent nationwide round-up by duly appointed officers with Immigrations and Custom Enforcement. Of the hundreds of nonregistered aliens taken into custody by the federally empowered agency, more than 1,600 had felony convictions.
The injection of the sleeping giant, the Savannah Morning News, into an environmental-based fray is a welcome change. I am referring to an article by none other than Tom Barton, editorial editor of that same paper.
I was born during World War II. Since then, I have seen great industrial advances inspired by American business ingenuity. In the 1940s, consumers could buy a car in any color they wanted - as long as it was black. Air-conditioning was supplied by winding down the windows. Most cars had a stick shift rather than an automatic transmission. Motorist music sources were limited to an AM radio with few stations
Every parent familiar with the noisy and chaotic, physically, mentally and emotionally demanding reality of taking care of even one or two children – which is to say, every parent – owes respect bordering on awe for those who responsibly take care of many.
Everybody needs a guru. Someone you can go to whenever you find yourself stuck on the horns of a moral dilemma. Some climb the mountain tops of Nepal to sit before an old guy wrapped in a bed sheet and listen to him prattle about inner beauty.

Health and fitness are not synonymous
For the past few years I have been quite conscious about the fact that health doesn't always equal with fitness. Or should I say that being fit doesn't mean you are healthy. I have met and seen countless professional athletes that are extremely fit, but quite unhealthy. If you suffer from chronic flu, constantly aching back or constipation, you might not be that healthy after all. I know this, because I have lived it.
Around 7-years ago I got injured badly in football (a.k.a soccer) and needed a surgery. The next few years I was neither fit nor healthy. Day by day I got back into shape and about 4-years ago I started running again. My plan was to become from a sub three hour marathoner from zero (plus 4h30 marathon) level. First year I suffered from nasty acid imbalances and slime issues in my throat. I removed most dairy products and started eatingmostly plants solving both of these issues. I was on a roll…
Photo credits: Kelley Mari (left) / lucybumb2 (right)
Now I have two of my best training seasons behind me. Things are going extremely well. I have cut over 1h of my marathon time, and I'm quite fit, but my health doesn't seem to be in the best shape ever. Due to proper diet I haven't caught any nasty illnesses, but my muscular and joint conditions are not always in top shape. During the training season I have constant aching and soreness despite how much MSM etc I eat. No injuries, but limiting issues. Why is this? Shouldn't health and wellness expert know better?
In general we can be quite certain that moderate exercise is good for the health. It has been shown to be a key part of longevity. But fitness as we know it today does require more than just moderate exercise. In a competitive world the level of fitness seems to require occasionally going to extremes and athletes do push the envelope in most exercises.
When you train, you actually create physical stress in your body. Each time you train, you suppress your immune system and cause damage in your body (joints, muscles, nerves etc). This is good as long as you remember to nourish your body with proper nutrition and rest. Having nutritional stress on top of the physical stress would be the worst thing to have. But to get fit, we often push so much that the needed recovery often doesn't happen. We might "overtrain" or just cause another setback
In some sports where you peak very young (swimming, gymnastics etc) athletes might get away with unhealthy lifestyles during their peak career, but I don't think this will take away the effects of your decisions in the long term. Like said, most top athletes are fit but not healthy. Chronic pains and illnesses are common. After the active career several health problems come to light. Another aspect is becoming or being injured. Like said, striving to become fit increases the chances of injury. And when you want to be fit, the worst thing on the planet is gradually recovering from a past injury. Athletes tend to start pushing too fast too soon.
Doing sports is an addiction. A healthy one, but it still is one. Quite often it takes over you and starts to control your life. A good health regimen becomes your boss. This is a perfect example of when you are no longer managing yourself, but the program is.
Becoming fit has many effects. One of them is bigger self-confidence i.e. bigger ego. Do not let that take over you with the cause of your health. You will regret it when you have an injury or an illness. Take it slower, listen to your body, and eat well. It helps. Or at least that's my "prescription" for the path forward.
