Hello My Readers,
I welcome you all again to my earn money online information blog…
If you have not read my thinking lesson 1, you may go back and refer it,….
Thinking To Earn Money Online
Today is time for some brainfood to earn money online.. Here goes some more information to have "earn money online thinking". As always I will try and explain things in a very lucid manner. Today I would like to put light on one of the most important things that is pulling back herds and herds of people from getting better in all walks of life and yes this does include earning money. Be it online or offline.
Being ashamed of yourself & stop cursing yourself.
Yes,this is very important. You may fail many times in your journey towards making money(Not as much as I did.. You have my experiences to read). You must be ready for that and must love yourself.Keep congratulating yourself. Yes…. Tell Yourself that hey you tried really well…. Next time will be more easy.. I am now an experienced guy from this mistake. That's the thinking I want from you.Yes, i am sure that will do the trick...Keep saying these things and money will flow...
Almost all the people I have met or have observed, I find a startling quality in them..I fear how do they manage this...There was a time when even i was that.. today i think.." Oh..wat!! even i was like tis sometime... No!!!!"
They are ashamed of some thing or the other regarding themselves. I feel there are many reasons for this.
• Their Family background
• Their way of being born & brought up
• Peer Pressure
• Inferiority Complex
• Fear Of Failure
• Mind Blocks
• Pre Judging
• Too much of failure faced & hence a feeling of always being a failure in life.
I will go into depth of all these.. Remember changing your thinking to the right thinking is most important to earn money as money is like a metal which is attracted to a properly thinking mind.
Let me start on a small note…
These are some of the ones listed as I feel is the problem with the majority of people.A general view is pictorised above.
Now,Let me tell you a short story.
Pradeep Sahni was a broke in 2003. He had failed everywhere. His Restaurant was in bad debt. He cursed himself a lot. Then he came to read about a book, " The Secret " written by Rhonda Byrne. (I personally suggest this book to one and all).He realized that the universe conspires you to achieve things the way you FEEL things would be in future. Yes, this is the essence of the book. He realized that he was having all the qualities listed above. So, the result would be obvious!!! His future would be the same as above based on those qualities. That is he would be broke and always fail because these were the exact thoughts going on his mind.. isn't it??? So, his subconscious mind always gave suggestions focusing on these negative things only rather than searching for opportunities to earn money online or earn money offline.
He started to ponder a bit over this simple acceptable fact..
Pradeep thought….. Nothing can go wrong as so much has already gone wrong. ..
(hehe..that is the required optimism..believe me…this will work…!!!! It always has to earn money online in my case.)
Pradeep now thought.....
What have I achieved following all the above qualities. Nothing… So why not follow things the exactly opposite. He started to love himself, this made him happy and saw optimism in his work. This made him sight the opportunities which otherwise would have gone unnoticed being in the same frame of mind as he was initially.
His problem was that he was not being original.A quick USP study of competitors showed him that he was running a Indian Restaurant on a street that had many established Indian restaurants which were very old & had loyal customers. He believed himself and had faith in himself that he can come up with something very creative all by himself..
He Clicked!!
He set up an All American Restaurant. And he tripled sales on his previously considered best sale days!!
This is it… Pradeep Sahni - A broke person can do it.. Why cannot any other person?
Please keep reading so that you can brush up on your thinking and think like a person earning a billion! Remember,, You are on you way to great riches… I will come up on new articles to thinking in a correct way to earn money online. Thinking I again stress …. Yes.. Thinking properly is a first and unskipable step to earn money online.
A proper frame of mind is the most important way.
Being positive and persistent without quitting is the key.

Janet is a widely respected artist who has sung in many major concert venues around the UK and abroad in opera, oratorio and recital. She is in particular demand in oratorio, but it was as a recitalist that she first gained recognition. She was invited to join the select group of artists to be represented by the Young Concert Artists' Trust, and for many years was the only mezzo-soprano on their books. She honed her performing skills around the country in such recital venues as the Purcell Room. During this time she toured South America with Christopher Goldsack, performing to huge acclaim in major venues across the continent. On their return they were invited to sing and be interviewed on the second day of a new radio station called Classic FM, thus becoming the first singers to give a live broadcast for the company. The then British Prime Minister, John Major, subsequently requested Janet to sing for his guests at the British Embassy in Tokyo, and later at Downing Street. She was also asked to provide the singing voice of Annette Badlands in the opening sequence to a British comedy film "Caught in the Act" which has been broadcast around the world.
.... Janet singing in l'Orfeo. In the background is her long standing friend and co-founder of The Musical Tuckshop, Louise Tucker.
She was overall winner of the Royal Tunbridge Wells International Concert Artists' Competition and went on to win prizes in successive years for performance of French song at the International French Song competition in Paris. Her duet recital with Christopher Goldsack as part of the Festival Mediterranéen was widely acclaimed, and she also sang duet recitals with Naomi Harvey, touring the Middle East many times. They also became the first female duet pairing on BBC Radio's "Friday Night is Music Night." Two more live Classic Fm recitals were followed by concerts and a recital at St John's, Smith Square with Malcolm Martineau. She maintains her love of recital and concert repertoire, most recently performing Ravel's Sheherazade.
As an opera singer she has sung roles for English National Opera, Welsh National Opera, Kent Opera, Opera North and at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden and her many roles include Rosina, Carmen, Dorabella, Suzuki, and Orlofsky. She made her début at the Göttingen Festival singing the role of Oronte in Handel's Riccardo Primo and sang Phyllis in Howard Blake's The Station at the Purcell Room. She sang in Strauss's Der Feuersnot for Pimlico Opera at the South Bank. She has recently returned to the English National Opera covering in the operas Berg's Lulu, Poulenc's The Dialogue of the Carmelites and Vaughan Williams' Sir John in Love. Janet covered the role of Zitta in Puccini's Gianni Schicchi for the Royal Opera House last year and many roles in Sondheim's Into the Woods for the Linbury Theatre, the studio theatre in Covent Garden.
Janet in recital mode with her long time accompanist, John Flinders
Notable oratorio engagements include Mahler's Symphony no. 8 at the Royal Albert Hall and Birmingham Symphony Hall, Beethoven's Missa Solemnis at the Royal Albert Hall with Royal Philharmonic Orchestera, Elgar's Dream of Gerontius at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, with Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Canterbury Cathedral, Verdi's Requiem at the Sheldonian Theatre and Watford Colliseum and Haydn's Nelson Mass at the Barbican Hall. With the Scottish Chamber Orchestra she toured Brazil in Haydn's St Nikolai Mass and sang Haydn's Nelson Mass in Brussels the same year. Her début at the Cairo Opera House was with Beethoven's 9th Symphony and she sang Messiah in Pamplona. She has performed Elgar's Sea Pictures with the Bournemouth Sinfonietta and Canteloube's Songs of the Auvergne and a "Last Night of the Proms" with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. She also learnt to sing in Welsh for Goroesiad Cenedl, a major new work for mezzo-soprano and chorus by Richard Elfyn Jones which she premiered in 2000 and repeated in 2001. In Elgar's anniversary year, she sang Dream of Gerontius at several venues including the Sage in Gateshead.
Janet maintains her diversity, equally at home on BBC Radio 2 for "Friday Night is Music Night," a recital at St. John's Smith Square or singing at dinners at Kensington Palace, Banqueting Hall, Tate Britain, or Hampton Court Palace. In 2004 and 2006 she was invited to sing at the International Festival in Harare.
In 2008 she was invited to give a master class and recital at Stetson University in Florida and at the University of Cumbria, and she combines her busy performing career with voice teaching.
In recent months, Janet has established TalkingVoice. A company which aids teachers and business executives use their voices more healthily and effectively.

The Elusive Foco Playlist: An Investigation
It was a Sunday around 8 p.m., and I was walking out of the Class of 1953 Commons, the dining hall known to Dartmouth students as "Foco," with a friend after a warm dinner. As we were about to step outside, she paused and exclaimed, "Oh my God, what?! They're playing 'Colder Weather.' Why is the Foco playlist going to make me cry?"
Though an emotional country song from 2010 should seem to be an odd choice for dining hall background music, in '53 Commons' case, it's hardly surprising. Aside from its world-famous cookies, the dining hall is most known across campus for its eclectic background music.
"You know how every music service tries to make you a daily mix? Foco does it better," Anais Berumen Swift '22 said. The dining hall daringly mixes '80s music with R&B, early 2000s pop with country; its music taste crosscuts too many genres to possibly be a radio station, which has led to the widespread supposition that '53 Commons must have a playlist. It's an assumption we take for granted, yet it is one that remains engrained in the minds of all Dartmouth students. I've heard many references to the elusive "Foco playlist," such as the guy in the omelet line behind me this weekend who yelled "Yo, the Foco playlist is poppin' right now!" when "Fireflies" by Owl City came on.
Shockingly, according to Jon Plodzik, Director of Dartmouth Dining, the Foco playlist — a pillar of '53 Commons' appeal — is a sham.
"While I wish I was spinning the tunes, it is a service we use by Mood Music," Plodzik said. (I have since discovered the service is actually called Mood Media.)
Foco uses the service's "Mood Mix," which allows businesses to "fine-tune their soundtrack." According to their website, Mood Media provides in-store music and integrated audio and video marketing solutions. They specialize in perfecting the atmosphere of a place, from music to scent.
Jennifer Nakhla, who manages customer service at '53 Commons, directly oversees the music selection as the systems manager. She told me she was there when the dining hall's music system was installed two years ago over spring break and confirmed that the playlist is a myth.
"[Our music] is streamed — essentially, we don't curate the playlist, it's based on genres," Nakhla said. She elaborated that '53 Commons' oddly heterogenous music taste is, in fact, rooted in their subscription to a number of different genres.
"We subscribe to 10 genres, and we can rotate them. We can choose between channels, and one of our channels is dedicated to rotations," she said.
The pre-designed Mood Media genres cover a wide range of musical inclinations. Some genres '53 Commons subscribes to are very straightforward, such as "Nashville USA", the country station, while others are less self-explanatory, like "Earthtones," a station described as "global acoustic."
Dartmouth Dining Services also subscribes to a number of era-based genres, such as '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s. Other stations include "Adult Contemporary", Rock, Blues, "Hitline" — which is essentially today's top hits — and "Concrete Beats," which is a hip-hop, rap and R&B station.
Nakhla has a predetermined music schedule for the rest of the term, which incorporates different genres at different times of the day and year. For example, '53 Commons plays the "Earthtones" station during finals season for a more relaxed vibe. She also tries "not to play music that's too heavy in the morning" and tends to stick to the '70s or '80s channels then.
"People aren't necessarily the most awake at breakfast," Nakhla said.
At a typical '53 Commons dinner, what you're probably hearing is the "Hitline" playlist, because they try to play more upbeat music later in the day.
However, most of the time, '53 Commons uses Mood Media's rotation channel. This feature plays a genre for two or three hours at a time and then switches. Songs are shuffled within each genre, and Mood Media assigns different songs to different genres.
"Genres shuffle themselves, and then I can shuffle the genres," Nakhla said. This feature allows for a wide variety of tastes to be incorporated, while also ensuring that the Dartmouth Dining Services workers aren't repeatedly subjected to the same songs, hour after hour, day in and day out.
As a user of Mood Media's services, Dartmouth Dining does have the power to block certain songs. Nakhla said the stations are all radio edit appropriate, but she's used the blocking feature for other reasons.
"There was one song that we blocked by Cyndi Lauper because it was playing a lot, and it doesn't actually have any words," Nakhla said. "It was starting to grate on people."
Unfortunately, because they use a streaming service, '53 Commons can't actually take song recommendations. However, Nakhla does like to take student perspective into account.
"Every couple terms I run the thought box with the question, 'What's your favorite music genre?'" Students can put in slips of paper with their preferred genres, and '53 Commons does take that into account in both the music schedule and choosing what Mood Media genres to subscribe to. Nakhla says she often receives song requests from students who don't understand the streaming service. However, she does try to incorporate more '80s, rap, R&B and hip-hop music based on student feedback.
As much as Dartmouth students would love to follow '53 Commons on Spotify, it doesn't seem our dreams will come true anytime soon.
"[The streaming service] does what we need it to," Nakhla said. "There's not control to select a song but is that something we need?" She elaborated that they've been satisfied with Mood Media and that the music isn't designed to be the main attraction, but simply an ambiance measure. "It's noise cancelling … you may think it's adding noise, but when you're having a conversation, it dies down the overall noise in the room," Nakhla said.

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in young and middle-aged athletes (PAFIYAMA) syndrome in the real world: a paradigmatic case report
An enhanced risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been clearly documented in endurance athletes (top-class, elite and recreational) over the past decades (1-4). This risk typically ranges between 1.2- to 15-fold compared to the general and sedentary population, so that it can be paradoxically assumed that better is the cardiovascular fitness, higher is the incidence of AF (5-9). In this regard, we have recently described the 'paroxysmal AF in young and middle-aged athletes' ('PAFIYAMA') syndrome (10). Provided that other risk factors for AF and underlying conditions have been ruled out, the diagnostic algorithm and criteria of this syndrome include a number of conditions, classified as major and minor (10). Importantly, this new syndrome might be currently under-recognized and under-diagnosed, since its popularity remains limited so far. We describe here a paradigmatic case of PAFIYAMA syndrome, which may be possibly misdiagnosed and untreated when encountered in a different clinical setting.
Case presentation
A 32 years old man (weight 76 kg, height 178 cm; BMI <25) was admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) complaining for palpitations, lasting for 3 hours. He had never smoked and other risk factors such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and hypertension could be ruled out. The electrocardiogram (ECG) was consistent with AF at high ventricular response (130–150 bpm) (Figure 1). All laboratory parameters were within the respective reference ranges, and laboratory screening for cocaine, amphetamine, and MDMA was negative for these drugs. The patient was administered with enoxaparin 8,000 IU and metoprolol 5 mg i.e., repeated for three times. After 12 hours of persistent AF, the patient underwent electrical cardioversion (biphasic DC shock, 150 J), which was immediately successful to restore the sinus rhythm. The ECG recorded after cardioversion was fully normal (Figure 2).
Interestingly, the patient reported an episode of paroxysmal AF (PAF), occurred during practicing strenuously training for an important martial arts competition (Wushu Kung Fu) 2 years before the current episode. This former event recovered spontaneously after approximately 6 hours, thus confirming the diagnosis of PAF. In the last 2 years the patient performed well, and his training in martial arts continued at high level (i.e., four to five 2–3-hour sessions a week). In the last 2 weeks, in addition to usual training, the patient was engaged in relocating his residence, carrying heavy furniture. He underwent echocardiography within a week from the ED discharge, showing a left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy: inter-ventricular septal thickness in diastole (IVSd): 11 mm; LV end-systolic diameter (LVEDD): 57 mm; posterior wall thickness, systole (PWTs): 16 mm; LV mass: 312 g. These data are in accordance with the concept of athlete's heart, characterized by a balanced myocardial hypertrophy and ventricular dilation, i.e., eccentric LV hypertrophy. Likewise, a moderate left atrial (LA) dilation (49 mm), with normal ejection fraction (64%) and diastolic function, could be observed. The fact that diastolic function was not impaired with a high LV mass further supports the idea of hypertrophy in athlete's heart, as a physiological adaptation. We did not request a chest X-ray due to the young age and good physical performance of the patient.
The patient was then discharged, with suggestion to reduce his training regimen. A Holter-ECG performed one month after ED discharge showed no signs of arrhythmia (nocturnal bradycardia, with minimum heart rate of 38 bpm between 2 and 5 a.m.), and the patient remained asymptomatic during the following six months of follow-up.
Therefore, based on the diagnostic algorithm of PAFIYAMA syndrome, including major criteria (onset as PAF, ≤60 years and male sex, prolonged practice of high-intensity exercise, and preserved ejection fraction), as well as five of the seven minor criteria (i.e., increased vagal tone with sinus bradycardia, LA enlargement, LV hypertrophy, increased LV wall thickness and LV mass, and normal diastolic function), this patient can be considered a paradigmatic case of this recently described syndrome.
The potential clinical implications and the impact on patients' lifestyle of PAFIYAMA syndrome are meaningful. Unfortunately, no effective strategies are currently available for predicting cardiac maladaptations in athletes who frequently practice high-intensity long-term endurance exercise (11). New-onset AF in young population is uncommon. For that reason, physicians should be aware about PAFIYAMA syndrome. In general, regular exercise may be safe in patients with this syndrome, although it depends of individual circumstances. Nonetheless, since most of the minor criteria are physiological adaptations (i.e., increased vagal tone with sinus bradycardia and LV hypertrophy, among others) triggered by practicing high-intensity endurance exercise, it seems reasonable to recommend reduction of both exercise volume and intensity. In fact, the physiological adaptations induced by exercise tend to disappear with training cessation. Notably, this recommendation may be overlooked by professional athletes. In these cases, antiarrhythmic drug and/or ablation may be the most effective approach (12).

Market Recap for Thursday, January 17, 2019
Word that the U.S. would ease Chinese tariffs as negotiations wear on helped to reduce stock market stress and resulted in an intraday surge in U.S. equity prices on Thursday afternoon. Quick profit taking followed, but strength resumed into the close as our major indices all finished higher, led by the Russell 2000's 0.86% advance. All 11 sectors finished higher in a broad-based rally that was led by materials (XLB, +1.76%) and industrials (XLI, +1.71%). The former's rally came right on time as I had posted the following chart two days ago and suggested a high reward to risk long trade made sense:
There are still obstacles ahead for the XLB, namely gap resistance near 53.60 and then the double top price resistance just beneath 56. Nonetheless, bouncing off rising 20 day EMA support is a solid short-term bullish signal. So long as that moving average provides support, I'd be ok sticking to the long side. A failure, however, should be respected because of the big picture downtrend that began in September 2018.
While the majority of the action on Thursday was quite bullish, there were pockets of weakness and disappointment. Home construction ($DJUSHB, -1.01%) was one of those areas, perhaps spooked by the threat of rising interest rates again. I wouldn't be overly concerned about the DJUSHB just yet as it continues to trade above its now-rising 20 week EMA at 683 and the pullback is nearing its recent breakout on the daily chart:
Seeing the daily RSI jump to 70 recently was another bullish signal for this group as RSI 70 rarely is touched during a downtrend. Note that the rising 20 day EMA is at 678, just beneath the 20 week EMA of 683 discussed earlier. A close beneath both would carry more bearish implications. Until then, however, I believe the long side is the right side.
Pre-Market Action
Netflix (NFLX) and American Express (AXP) both reported results last night that disappointed traders to a degree. Yet it's not slowing the move higher in U.S. equities this morning. NFLX, in particular, is well off after-market lows from last night despite falling short on revenues and being priced for perfection.
We're also seeing a global rally as different regions from around the world sense some relief with word that the U.S. will ease tariffs against China during ongoing negotiations.
Dow Jones futures are higher by 138 points with 30 minutes left to the opening bell.
Current Outlook
As the Volatility Index ($VIX) spiked on December 26th to 36 and a bottom formed, I wrote an article that looked ahead to figure out where this bear market rally might end. I pointed out three potential levels. The first was intraday support-turned-resistance at 2532 on the S&P 500. The second was closing support-turned-resistance at 2581. Both of those levels have been cleared and now leaves us with the third key level - 20 week EMA resistance. I made several observations more than three weeks ago in that article, most of them spot on, a couple perhaps not so good. I didn't think we'd see a VIX below 20 before another big drop occurred. Well, we haven't seen a big price drop and the VIX closed yesterday at 18.06. The stock market teaches us new lessons every day and this could be another, but I wouldn't be ready to throw the towel in just yet on this being nothing more than a bear market rally. Here's the current big picture S&P 500 chart:
During each of the past two bear markets, the VIX never fell below 16. While I still believe the highest likelihood is that we see another leg lower in the U.S. stock market, a VIX move below 16 support would begin to suggest that the cyclical bear market low printed near 2350 and that it won't be broken. Clearly, the bears are facing a stiff test.
Sector/Industry Watch
The major bear market test has arrived. Most of our major indices and sectors are either at declining 20 week EMAs and key price resistance or approaching them. The more indices that can close above these key levels, the more bullish technical signals that trigger. And the more technical buying that occurs, the more difficult the reversal and extension of the bear market that began in October 2018. The following is the small cap Russell 2000 weekly chart:
Yes, the rally feels nice and perhaps it'll even continue uninterrupted, but the odds are stacked against such bullish resolution. Even if you remain bullish and optimistic, look for a major price reversal, especially one that occurs after seemingly bullish news. That could be your clue of a bear market top.
One final note about Thursday's trading. Morgan Stanley (MS, -4.41%) delivered a miserable quarterly earnings report yesterday before the bell, but managed to hold onto rising 20 day EMA support - bullish technical action despite an ugly fundamental report. That type of bullish market behavior cannot be ignored.
Historical Tendencies
When we come back from the long holiday weekend, the stock market will be a battleground. Historical bullishness will meet bear market resistance. For instance, since 1987, the small cap Russell 2000 has produced annualized returns of +44.42% from January 23rd through February 3rd. The Sector/Industry Watch section above pointed out the key 20 week EMA test that lies ahead. We'll soon find out how this plays out and which side wins.

Hi all,
I tapped the discrim on my scanner so I could eventually use DSD+ but unfortunately my laptop does not have a 'line in'. Will using DSD+ work on the discrim to mic connector or is it problematic that way? Just want to enquire before I download and take a look at DSD software/setup.

Ananasi - Werespider
Most Ananasi lead solitary lives, each one doing as she sees fit. When they need to organize in groups, either for some great goal or for mutual protection, the do so under the leadership of elder females.
In general, Ananasi society recognises three distinct groups, called the Triumvirate: those who serve Wyrm, those who serve the Wyld, and those who serve the Weaver. Within each group, distinct factions act as warriors, questioners, and balancers. This complex organization of roles keeps the webs of Ananasi society strong and dynamic.
Homid Ananasi, born of one human parent, have an early life that differs little from most human children. As they near the time of their first change, however, they notice significant differences between themselves and their human friends. Normal foods lose their flavour and are eaten only for nutritional value, emotions cool, and logic reigns supreme.
Beginning Stats: 1 Essence, 1 Primal Urge
Ananasi Metis are never spoken of, they are born twisted lilian-like creatures unable to shift. They are, every one, sent to live in the deep umbra where they serve as guardians for Queen Ananasa.
Ananasi born from a mating with a spider hatch from an egg sac. They must literally eat their way to a size that can accommodate a change in form, usually feasting on their sac-mates and any other spiders in the area until they achieve the necessary size.
Beginning Stats: 5 Essence, 2 Primal Urge, Limited Knowledges.
Instead of Auspices that determine the role each werespider plays, Ananasi have aspects, chosen for them by Queen Ananasa. Each of the three aspects of Ananasi - those dedicated to the Wyrm (Hatar), the Weaver (Tenere), and the Wyld (Kumoti) - has three factions. The Warrior, or Myrmidon, fights for her Aspect. The Balancer, or Visker serves as judge, or seeker of truth for her Aspect, and The Questioner, or Wyrsta, acts as the counter to the other two factions and dedicates his to understanding the secrets of the Great Web and his Aspect's place in it.
The Hatar live to destroy, under the command of Queen Ananasa. They are often known as violent or cruel, and tend to exhibit the "darker" emotions, if any. They are the Unweavers of the Ananasi Society.
Ananasi dedicated to the Weaver have the best control over their emotions and pay the most attention to order and pattern. Tenere tend to value neatness in their personal lives, order in their relationships, and pattern in their day-today activities. Logical, calculating, and precise, they strive to maintain stability in the Great Web.
Dedicated to change, the Kumoti work to affect a dynamic approach to the world. Their goal is to fight stagnation and entropy by instituting subtle changes. Even though some of the changes they support may not be for the best, they believe that any change is better than standing still.
The Ananasi's homid form outwardly resembles the human body in size, shape, and other external physical characteristics. This form, however, differs from human in some distinctive ways. After the Metamorphosis, the human body undergoes several alterations. It's internal organs are no longer precisely human. The blood chemistry alters to accommodate both human hemoglobin (or iron-based) and spider hemocyanin (or copper-based) molecules. The Homid form also possesses vestigial fangs and pedipalps in its mouth. The lungs change as well, combining normal human lungs with the type found in arachnids. Despite these changes, the homid form is interfertile with normal humans.
This form serves as the Ananasi's primary combat form. Combining characteristics of human and spider, the lilian form appears both formidable and disturbing. While the precise appearance differs from individual to individual, the lilian Ananasi has some general characteristics. An exoskeleton develops, muscles alter drastically, and the circulatory system becomes more spider-like. Beyond that, the variations in the lilian form can include extra appendages, a human head on an upright spider form, a spider head on a human form with a hard carapace, or any other permutation of spider and human. Ananasi typically gain and additional 30% height and weight in this form. Whatever the shape the lilian form takes, once chosen it cannot be altered without some ability or gift.
The Ananasi's pithus form resembles nothing more or less than a giant spider. The werespiders weight increases by 50% and the height of the pithus form is roughly 50% higher than the Ananasi's homid form is tall, and twice that in diameter with the legs in a comfortable position. Anatomy changes include a mixture of spider and human organs, flesh and chitin become tougher, and the circulatory system becomes more hydraulic. The pithus form is ideal for producing webs with the tensile strength of steel.
The most misunderstood of all Ananasi forms, the crawlerling "form" involves the breakdown of the Ananasi's human mass. When she assumes this form, some of the spiders are designated as leaders, with others as followers. These "leaders" possess the sum of an Ananasi's memories and consciousness and direct the movement of their followers. This form is best for escape, hiding, or infiltration. If even a few crawlerlings survive, the Ananasi can eventually reconstitute herself, given time and mass consumption of spiders to rebuild her mass. If a "leader" dies, the portion of memories contained by that spider dies with it. Crawlerlings can produce webs as normal spiders do, and are generally of types that the Ananasi typically consumes.

Crawlerling only inflicts delerium during the initial change.
Blood Pool
Ananasi are able to gain power from the blood they drink. These reserves of power are represented by the trait of "blood points", which are measured as a blood pool. All Ananasi have a maximum blood pool of 10, unless they have certain Gifts which permit them to absorb more blood.
• A werespider may spend a blood point to automatically shift into the form of his choice.
• An Ananasi can spend one blood point to gain an extra action in a turn. *
• Ananasi heal by expending blood (see Healing, below).
• Werespiders use blood points to fuel their webmaking abilities (see Webs, below).
• Certain Gifts and Rites require the expenditure of blood points.
Ananasi are limited to the expenditure of one blood point per turn for any purpose, unless they have special compensatory Gifts. The average human can provide up to ten blood points before he's drained completely dry, but most creatures can lose only 20 percent of their blood before their lives are endangered. Taking five blood points from a human will hospitalize him, and more will certainly kill him. Unlike the vampires they often associate with, the Ananasi cannot naturally use their blood pools to increase Physical Attributes. Also, despite enjoying the flavor of Ovid blood, the Ananasi do not gain any special bonuses for drinking the blood of other Changing Breeds.
Barring the use of Gifts or fetishes, Ananasi heal as normal humans — except that they can spend blood points to mend their wounds. Each blood point spent heals one level of non-aggravated damage; the werespider must be relatively motionless to do this. To heal a level of aggravated damage more quickly than a human would, the Ananasi must expend five blood points all at once; this takes an entire scene. However, unlike Garou and other shape-changers, Ananasi can use their powers of supernatural healing in Homid form; more specifically, they can spend blood points to heal while in any form save Crawlerling (where they can only heal by using the Gift: Replenishment of the Flesh).
Ananasi can catch and transmit diseases, and can suffer from all the ill effects of a disease. However, a werespider can purge her system of a disease by spending blood. This is generally treated like healing aggravated damage, and the severity of the disease determines how much healing is required; for instance, an Ananasi purging herself of the flu would have to heal the equivalent of one aggravated health level, while a werespider who'd contracted AIDS or leprosy might need to heal three to five aggravated health levels' worth of damage. Needless to say, it helps to drink lots of fluids.
Multiple Eyes
In most of their forms the Ananasi have many eyes from which to see. And it's true, especially of the human-born werespiders, that they aren't always used to seeing from extra eyes. While they might have the best peripheral vision in the World of Darkness, they still have to actually look at what they are seeing. Just because somediing is in their field of vision doesn't mean they've actually taken notice of it. For that reason, even Ananasi must make Perception rolls in order to notice something off to the side. Additionally, unless they have certain [[Gifts]], they do not automatically see in 360 degrees at once.
Multiple Limbs
The Ananasi have more limbs than other Ovid, but that doesn't mean they automatically get extra actions or a reduced penalty on taking extra actions. It just means they have more arms and legs. The werespiders suffer the exact same penalties for taking extra actions as everyone else does, unless they have Gifts to compensate for the differences. Mind you, it never hurts to have a few extra hands for carrying weapons, or in case one gets torn off by an irate Garou.
Sex Appeal
Ananasi are very predatory, very compelling creatures. They are able to use their predatory nature (and even a healthy dose of pheromones) to best advantage, attracting members of the opposite sex for both mating and feeding. In game terms, rolling Charisma + Primal Urge - Wits of target.
Umbral Travel
The Ananasi do not travel to the Umbra in the same way as other Ovid. Rather than finding a spot where the Gauntlet is weak enough and staring into their reflections, the Damhan must assume the Crawlerling form and quite literally crawl between the strands of the Great Web. Once they have entered the Umbra, the werespiders may once again assume any form they desire, but for the Ananasi there is no other way to reach the spirit realms.
Just like their spider kin, the Damhan have special glands which produce venom. The venom can be quite powerful, depending on the Ananasi's form, but the werespiders must use Gifts in order to make their venom strong enough to affect shapeshifters or the undead. The neurotoxins they produce have very detrimental affects on most humans and other creatures; just how serious the results of one of their bites may be is left to the discretion of the Storyteller, but a human bitten by a Pitius is almost certainly dead or paralyzed for hours. The Ananasi can inject full-strength venom while in Pithus and a diluted version while in Lilian. The exact nature of the venom of each Ananasi is a result of the type of spiders which are a part of the werespider.
Tarantulas produce a very painful venom that is seldom lethal, but causes paralysis. Brown recluse spiders produce a necrotizing toxin that will spread through a body over days or weeks (in the case of a single spider biting a human sized target) and kill all flesh it encounters. The bite of a single black widow can cause death in a human-sized opponent, though more often just causes illness. However, without the use of Gifts, the Ananasi have only enough venom for two or three good solid injections; they simply aren't designed to inject venom constantly.
Ananasi in Pithus form can spin very strong, very durable webs. Creating webs on any substantial level (say, the amount needed to close off a narrow alleyway's entrance or fill a small closet) costs one blood point, as the Ananasi's body breaks down the blood to replenish the natural polymers which create the webbing. The tensile strength of the webs is about the same as steel cables, but more flexible. If the webs are used to snare an opponent, the target must break the webs to escape.
Ordinary Web Dice Pool
Strength: Seven.
Health Levels: Three.
Armor Rating: Zero.
For a target ensnared in these webs, they must accumulate three successes on strength rolls to break free.
Ananasi in Crawlerling form can also spin webs, but these webs are no stronger than an ordinary spider's (or rather, the webs of a thousand or so ordinary spiders).

Spray Conditioner is not something which I have had much experience with, this being one of the first of its type which I have tried. Designed to be sprayed onto towel dried hair and being left it. As well as protecting my hair, it also leaves it feeling silky smooth and paired with the shampoo my hair feels very moisturised and soft to touch.
Lastly the Shimmer Oil, which protects the hair structure during sun exposure when sprayed onto mid lengths and ends of wet or dry hair. This again has the same lovely scent, which reminds me so much of summer. It left my hair feeling really soft, and not at all greasy or oily which I was expecting because of it being an oil. The shimmer is actually really nice, not being overpowering or at all glittery its a subtle touch which looks lovely catching the light or while out in the sun.

SMC introduces a Journalism Club
A group of keen writers is getting a career headstart by joining a journalism club at school.
St Mary's College introduced the club at the beginning of the year to give students an insight into the media world.
Journalism club facilitator Eryn Gower said the club was popular with students.
"We have almost 40 kids in the club, with students from Years 8 -12," she said.
"Everyone has a role. We have photographers, videographers, graphic designers, reporters and editors.
"They all do their roles and then report back to me."
Ms Gower said she started the club due to interest and wanting to create an extra-curricular activity for students.
"As an English teacher, I noticed there were not many activities which were centered around writing," she said.
"We have kids who are passionate about writing and media arts, so I thought it would be a good idea to combine the two."
If you are interested in joining the club, please contact Ms Eryn Gower for more information.

Scion of New York Philanthropy Family Guilty of Fraud, Grand Larceny
Posted: Thursday, October 15th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Manhattan—After a six-month trial that saw a parade of socialite witnesses, the son of New York's first family of charity has been convicted of attempting to defraud his late mother's estate.Anthony Marshall, the son of renowned socialite and philanthropist Brooke Astor, has been found guilty on 14 of 16 counts against him, including first-degree grand larceny, and scheming to defraud. Marshall will be sentenced in December and could face 25 years in prison for his crimes.
Astor was the wife of billionaire Vincent Astor, who inherited the real-estate fortune of John Jacob Astor. Mrs. Astor in turn inherited the fortune, then estimated at $60 million, in 1959. She is credited with having given millions of dollars each year to numerous recipients, including the New York Public Library, the Fresh Air Fund, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, to name just a few.
Marshall, the son of Astor's first husband, was accused by his own son, Philip, of abusing Brooke Astor in court documents filed in 2006. Guardianship of Mrs. Astor was then granted to her friend, Annette de la Renta, wife of the fashion designer Oscar, and financial control of her estate was granted to JPMorgan Chase & Co. Marshall, who was indicted on criminal charges, was accused of letting his mother live in squalor and cutting back on her medical care and medications, all the while diverting funds from her personal checking accounts – to the tune of $1 million, in one instance, which was used to fund a theatrical production.
Also convicted on five counts, including forgery and scheming to defraud, was Marshall's former attorney, Francis Morrissey. Morrissey faces up to seven years in prison for his role in the scheme.
Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann said that Marshall also gave himself a $1 million-a-year raise as the caretaker of his mother's affairs before she died at age 105 in August 2007. "These two defendants, two morally depraved individuals, preyed on a physically and mentally ill 101-year-old women to steal millions of dollars," he said in his closing argument.
His team also called nearly 70 witnesses, some of them very high-profile, including Henry Kissinger and Barbara Walters.
Marshall, who is currently free on $100,000 bail, showed no emotion as the verdict was read. His wife, Charlene, who is widely believed to have aided Marshall in his plan to bilk and abuse his mother, was equally stoic.

The Journey of Shuna
The Journey of Shuna (シュナの旅, Shuna no Tabi) is a one-volume watercolor-illustrated graphic novel written and illustrated by Hayao Miyazaki and published as a single softcover booklet, on 15 June 1983, by Tokuma Shoten under its Animage Ju Ju Bunko imprint.[1] The story was adapted into a 60-minute radio drama which was broadcast in Japan, on NHK FM, on 2 May 1987.[2]

|15 June 1983
The story opens with Shuna, the prince of a small mountain valley undergoing famine. One day, an old dying traveler arrives carrying a bag of dead golden seeds. Before passing away, he tells Shuna how he was once a young prince in a similar position to him and how he began his quest for the living grain after encountering the previous owner of the seeds. The magnificent golden grain is said to have originated from a land in the west where the moon resides. He also explains that the grain can save his people from starvation. Shuna leaves, journeying to the west over harsh landscapes astride his elk-like mount, Yakkul.
After countless months of traveling, he has a near fatal encounter with a group of female cannibals known as the Goor Tribe. After successfully driving them off, he encounters several abandoned villages and arrives at place known as "castle-town." It is a deteriorating city inhabited by slavers known as "man-hunters" who prey on those who are defenseless and barter using slaves or loot from raided villages. There he finds the golden seed but discovers that it has already been threshed and is therefore not viable. While there, he meets an enslaved girl named Thea and her sister. While he considers buying their freedom, he is turned back by the merchants. Later that night, he meets an old traveler who explains that the seeds come from a land further west that is the home of the moon and where the mythical beings known as god-men grow the grain and trade it to the man-hunters for fresh slaves. However, before falling asleep, he warns Shuna that no man had ever gone there and returned alive. When morning comes, the old man disappears and Shuna rescues Thea and her sister from the slave-traders. After being pursued for two nights, they come to a cliff and Thea and her sister part ways with Shuna, taking Yakkul with them. Before departing, Thea learns of his plans and tells him to find them in the north if he survives. After defeating the pursuers with a trap, Shuna sees the moon sweep across the sky and knows that it is heading over the cliff in the direction of the land of the god-men. He descends the cliff, at the bottom of which is a turbulent ocean. Shuna sinks into a sleep of exhaustion, and upon awakening, sees that the ocean has calmed and a sandbar has appeared connecting the beach to the land of the god-men.
Crossing the sandbar, Shuna finds himself in a paradise full of extinct plant and animal species, along with strange and passive moss-like giants. In the center of an irrigated clearing, he discovers a bizarre and eerie tower that appears to be alive, and watches as the moon settles down on the tower and empties bodies of dead slaves into it during the night. In the morning, the tower creates new giants and irrigates the field while the green giants plant golden kernels of grain, which grows throughout the day into maturity. After realizing that time is accelerated on the island upon seeing his rifle, sword, and clothing deteriorate before his very eyes, Shuna takes some of the golden grain heads; causing great pain to himself and the giants in the process. He is then pursued by howling giants as he runs to the cliff overlooking the sea and jumps in order to escape.
Meanwhile, the narrative cuts to Thea and her sister one year later. After fleeing the man-hunters, they had settled in as tenant farmers for an old woman in a remote northern village. One evening, Thea imagines that she hears Shuna's voice calling out to her, and finds him on the outskirts of the village. While he has the golden wheat in a pouch, he was mentally broken from his escape from the island. As a result, he was reduced to a traumatic state and lost his speech and memory. After Thea nurses Shuna back to health, together they plant the golden grain and begin to harvest it. At the same time, Shuna slowly recovers his voice and memories; much to the sisters' joy and relief. By this time, Thea has come of age and the old woman, eager to find another field hand, urges her to either marry or face eviction. Instead of choosing suitors from the village, Thea marries Shuna and they live together in the village for another year while harvesting the golden wheat and helping the villagers fend off raids from man-hunters. But finally Thea, her sister, Shuna, and Yakkul decide to return with half of the harvested grain to plant in Shuna's valley and end the famine.
Shuna: a young adolescent prince of a small valley who sets out to find the golden grain in the land of the god-men. Helen McCarthy writes that he is considered to be prototypical to the character of Nausicaä and has obvious links to the Ashitaka character in Princess Mononoke.[3]
Yakkul (ヤックル): Shuna's mount (here, Yakkul refers to the breed as well as the individual, which looks light brown sable antelope without a mane and a white underbelly). He is the source of inspiration and the namesake of Ashitaka's mount in Princess Mononoke.
Thea (テア): An adolescent girl enslaved by the people in the "castle-town" whom Shuna frees; she later finds Shuna after his journey to the land of the god-men and helps him plant the golden wheat.
Thea's sister: A very young girl freed along with Thea by Shuna.

A dwindling population and a hostile land: This theme surfaces several times in Miyazaki's more serious works, including Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Princess Mononoke, as well as here in Journey of Shuna. The main character in all of these stories comes from a small village with few young people, a low birth rate, and a dying royal bloodline. At the same time, the land that they inhabit is either barely hospitable or filled with countless dangers. In Journey of Shuna, Shuna leaves by choice in search of the grain, whereas in Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Nausicaä is summoned to war, and in Princess Mononoke Ashitaka is sent into exile because of a fatal curse from a demon.
Yakkul: Shuna's mount appears in exact replication as Ashitaka's red elk, who is also named Yakkul, in Princess Mononoke. (The soft-pawed cattle that appear pulling the slaver's wagon in Journey of Shuna also appear in Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind as the Dorok Cavalry's mounts).
Journey to the west: Both Ashitaka and Shuna go west in search of solutions to the problems in their respective villages. While Ashitaka searches for the forest of the gods, ancient giant wolves and boars ruled by the Great Forest Spirit for a cure to his curse, Shuna travels to the land of the god-men and their mysterious island of long-lost species to save his village from famine. However, in both cases the location of supernatural beings and the goal of their journeys lie to the west.
The old man and the fire: During the night after meeting Thea and her sister, but before their rescue, an old man comes across Shuna at his camp. In exchange for sharing some food with him, the old man tells Shuna more about the god-men and their land in the west over a campfire amongst the ruins of an old house or settlement. At the same time, he warns Shuna of how the land to the west is mystical and that no man has ever returned alive. This exact scene is paralleled in Princess Mononoke, when Ashitaka meets Jiko the priest and consults him about the iron bullet found in Nago the boar's demon body before learning of the Great Forest Spirit and the ancient forest.
Earthsea: Hayao Miyazaki once told producer Toshio Suzuki that if Earthsea was to be made into film, the plots ought to be like Journey of Shuna. Suzuki passed on this message to Goro Miyazaki, who was directing Tales from Earthsea at the time, thus certain key features in Shuna also reappear in the Earthsea production.
In his afterword published in the Shuna booklet, Hayao Miyazaki wrote that he took the Tibetan folktale, "The Prince who became a Dog," as a source of inspiration for the novel. It is a myth of how a prince named Prince Achu saved his people by stealing barley from the west from a serpent king. He was punished by being turned into a dog but returned to human form due to the love of a young girl and returns with the grain to his people.[4] Miyazaki wrote that while he wanted to create an animation for it at the time, no one was willing to publish such a simple story. As a result, he turned it into a graphic novel with the support of several publishers.[5]
Kentaro Takekuma traces Miyazaki's stylistic inspirations back to the adventures he read as a child and identifies his 1969 illustrated story (絵物語, emonogatari) People of the Desert as a precursor for The Journey of Shuna.[6]
Radio dramaEdit
The story was adapted into a 60-minute radio drama which was broadcast in Japan, on NHK FM, on 2 May 1987. Yōji Matsuda voiced the titular role.[2]

The Lindsay Advocate – serving the area since 1855
Sometimes good ideas are merely a continuation of old ideas. What seems like a unique concept may actually be an echo of history, seized upon once again – perhaps at just the right moment.
While reading Looking for Old Victoria County, edited by Rae Fleming and published just last year, I came upon a chapter called The People of the 1861 Great Fire in Lindsay, by Lois Magahay. Under a section about local journalism, it was there that I found an astonishing fact:


text:
NSW man Allan Raad and his brother-in-law Yousef Joseph Bazouni both pleaded guilty in the Downing Centre District Court in Sydney to charges of breaching director duties and the fraudulent removal of company assets.
Mr Raad was charged with using his position as a director to dishonestly gain an advantage and removing company property, while Mr Bazouni was charged with being complicit to the fact.
The charges relate to the sale of assets from Mr Raad's business Cornish Property Services to Mr Bazouni's newly incorporated company Flow Management for $20,000 on 2 July 2011.
But these assets were then on-sold by Mr Raad for $176,000, with the money used to pay down various debts and obligations for which he was personally liable.
Cornish Property Services was then put into voluntary liquidation, with debts estimated at $1,110,695.93.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) alleged that Mr Raad subsequently made two withdrawals from the company accounts, totalling $37,654.09, and that Mr Bazouni was complicit in this removal of funds.
After pleading guilty to the charges, Mr Raad was sentenced to a total of 18 months' jail for the various offences, but was released on a two-year good behaviour bond.
Meanwhile Mr Bazouni, while convicted, escaped penalties and was given a 12-month good behaviour bond.
As a result of the convictions, both men automatically receive the maximum five-year ban on managing companies.
"ASIC is committed to addressing illegal phoenix activity. ASIC is a member of the Australian Taxation Office-led Phoenix Taskforce, which comprises 29 Commonwealth and State governments agencies who are sharing intelligence and information to detect, deter and prosecute directors and facilitators that engage in illegal phoenix activity," commissioner John Price said.
The regulator urged anyone with concerns or suspicions about phoenix activity occurring to report their concerns to the Phoenix Hotline on 1800 807 875.

- Is there a maximum distance between reinforcement before they are considered lapped bars?
Because the purpose of a la p is to transfer a load from one bar to another, if the bars have a gap then the load path would include the concrete between the two lapped reinforcement bars. It is sensible to limit this gap, Eurocode 2 (EC2) Clause 8.7 specifies this requirement as 4 or 50mm max otherwise the lap needs to increase by the clear distance between the lapped bars.

"So this is you a writer? If you are a writer, then you should sit and write, and not hang out idle. If you have nothing to say, then you are just a windbag with shit instead of brains. You look more like a sissy. Before you write a book, you need to live it, « — about such words were said by Charles Bukowski to the young Jonathan Shaw in Los Angeles. The symbolic city of American freedoms of the sixties of the last century, where the Lyle Tuttle lived and worked.
Jonathan Shaw did just that — he went in search of adventure and life experience. For several years he travels around the United States, then moves to Mexico and settles in the port town of Vercarus. There he learned how to make tattoos. Fortunately, there was plenty of material (drunken sailors). Thus, Jonathan Shaw united two passions: literature and tattoo. Then there was a private tattoo studio in Manhattan and star clients: Johnny Depp , Iggy Pop , Jim Jarmusch and so on … By the way, as Johnny Depp himself says, the image of Jack Sparrow was born thanks to his close friendship with Keith Richards and Jonathan Shaw .
And now Jonathan Shaw is writing an autobiographical book , The Scar Seller — Confessions of a Tattooist . But not so long ago, the media remembered him for a completely different reason. The fact is that in the mid-nineties, Jonathan Shaw decided to move from New York to California. As a result of the fuss that accompanies any move, he forgot that he left a jar with a human embryo in a cell of the storage chamber, which he bought on occasion at one of the flea markets.
Today everything has to be extremely decent and correct.
More than fifteen years passed before this cell was opened in the presence of witnesses. There was no limit to their surprise when they saw what was stored there. The police had to find Jonathan Shaw , who was then forced to answer questions about the events forty years ago at the station.
"This is some kind of old medical benefit. Today, your mother, everything must be extremely decent and correct! You do not have the right to buy something like that. Or in the mid-seventies, or in the early eighties, I freely bought it at the flea market. Then it was absolutely normal . «
"In such places you could meet Andy Warhol or some guy with a bag of human fingers. I left it in the storage room and left for California. I just forgot about my purchase! I used to collect such shit, but now I don't have to do that for a long time , " Jonathan Shaw explained to the policeman the nature of the human fetus found in the storage room.

CHICAGO (CBS) — A Chicago trader has been sentenced to one year and a day in federal prison for stealing trade secrets from his former employer to start his own competing firm.
David J. Newman, 34, pleaded guilty to one count of theft of trade secrets last year, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.
Over a five-month period between late 2013 and early 2014, Newman downloaded and stole all of the proprietary computer code and trading software belonging to his then-employer, Chicago-based WH Trading LLC, prosecutors said. He downloaded more than 400,000 files to multiple USB thumb drives.
The intellectual property Newman stole took WH Trading's mathematicians, statisticians, software developers and traders more than 15 years to develop at a cost of more than $20 million, prosecutors said.
Newman resigned from the company in March 2014 after establishing his own competing firm, NTF LLC, prosecutors said. He had worked for WH Trading since 2004.
U.S. District Judge Manish S. Shah handed down the sentence of one year and a day during a hearing on Thursday. Newman was also fined $100,000, and prohibited from using or disclosing the stolen trade secrets.

Fall is a season of hope, optimism, and fresh beginnings. At a school it's a time of new backpacks, unsharpened pencils, and the promise of experiences to come.
There is no doubt that the celebrations of June, graduation being the greatest, bring days of joy, but I've always loved August and September the most …and the possibilities they suggest.
Ahead of us is a year of learning, connecting, and engaging with life and each other. What that year will look like we'd be foolish to predict, but with a spirit that embraces the unexpected and belief that all will be well, the journey ahead is as inviting as it is exciting.
Will there be struggles? Yes. This is life after all. But as Louisa May Alcott reminded us in Little Women, "I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship." So are we all.
This year I know a number of folks, including myself, who are sailing the ships of new schools. For us, understanding our school's culture and how we can contribute to it is high up on the checklist of autumn.
Whether we're new students, teachers, or even principals like me, when we know what's best about our school and how we can help to support the angels of our school's better nature, we have the opportunity to make a difference.
I wish for everyone "new" the connections with others that allow that understanding to emerge and those opportunities to flourish. I wish for those returning to familiar seas a fair breeze and the urge to welcome everyone with a bellow of love.
I once worked for a superintendent who greeted us each fall with a hearty "Happy New Year!" I heard in that refrain the feeling of freedom that comes from a fresh start, a new opportunity, and a chance to begin again, informed by the past but not shackled to it. It is in August and September that we feel the sense of hope that comes when we look around our school and see kindred spirits, curiosity, and creativity, and we know that storms or not, we are setting sail on this adventure together.

Alliance & Leicester shareholders have voted in favour of the bank's £1.3 billion takeover by Santander, the Spanish owner of Abbey.
A&L has been hit by the ongoing credit crunch, and its board recommended the deal to shareholders citing the extra security the Spanish banking giant would offer. It only made a profit of £2 million in the first half of the year, compared with £290 million in the same period last year.
The bank's 560,000 shareholders obviously agreed, with the overwhelming majority voting in favour of the takeover.
Although only 75% was needed for the deal to get the green light, 96% of shareholders voted 'yes' to the deal, compared with 3% voting 'no'. The remaining shareholders - 791,197 - withheld their votes.
Once the deal is completed, A&L will join Abbey as part of Santander's existing UK subsidiary. The combination of the sixth and eight largest banks in Britain would create a total of nearly 960 branches.
The European Commission recently gave its approval for the deal to go ahead, stating that it would not harm competition in the sector, since it would constitute no more than a 15% market share.
"After examination, the commission concluded that the proposed operation would not significantly impede effective competition in the European Economic Area," the EU executive arm said in a statement.
A&L first held talks with the Spanish bank last December, and has been frequently touted as a takeover target since the former building society floated on the stock exchange back in 1997.
Its shares ended 6% lower on Monday after the collapse of investment bank Lehman Brothers shook confidence in the UK's banking sector.

I'm writing this on my iPod in my easy chair so I'll need to add pictures and the video once I'm at my PC.
We've all had those days where we have an awful day or deal with some pinhead and we mutter "on my last day I'm going to…" Then you list the grievances of the day or the list of things you wish you could say. I also had such a list. I did none of these things, because I was just sad to be saying goodbye, after all, to my long library life.
I did not:
Go look for books customers couldn't find on our shelves in the back room ( forbidden behavior) ALL DAY LONG. Ha ha I was not scheduled on the desk all day so needer had to cram it into a few hours.
I did not spend any time cleaning out my desk or computer files because I had done it early. I did work on the dust bunny population. If there are new dust bunnies for the new person, enjoy.
I did not cry. Call me smooth.
I did not tell anyone off, not even a little. Didn't even think it, I was all smooshy. You can't be cranky when you're smooshy.
And finally, I always thought when I was done working I'd go for the chorus of "Take this job and shove it". I just like the song and have certainly worked places that fit it (I'm looking at you, Hoover factory).

Originally written June 15, 2012
The circumstance that made me left home in 1996 for the city of Kano still reverbrates in me. But I won't tell it because that's not the intent here. (I am preparing a book on that though I don't know when it will come out perhaps when I die. O Allaah take my life on Islam.)
I only spent two weeks in Kano with some uncles of mine before I came to Kaduna. Then I was not a serious Muslim. I hardly said my prayers. And there was an evil company I kept back in our town.
My first weeks in Kaduna was as usual - frolicking and gyrating. I never knew Kaduna was such a semi-Islamic city. All that I used to see were people as I was.
Then came the metamorphosis. My uncle's place was around Kagoro Close of the Kaduna metropolis. It was a rented apartment a sort of BQ shared with other tenants. Our compound used to be a rowdy place because of the people it contained - Muslims and Xtians of the southern extractions.
Just opposite our house was another apartment very similar to ours. There was a man there by name Sani, nicknamed 'Abacha'. It was this Sani my cousin took me to, to say hello, one night, that Allaah used to facilitate what I am today.
My cousin and I entered upon Sani and we exchanged pleasantries. It was in the course of the familiarization that I made the blunder that has become the caption of this small piece. Mallam asked me: 'How was the last festival in your place?' He was apparently referring to the Eidul'Ad'ha of that year. 'You mean, Eidul-Kabar?' I tried to reply. And that was it, Sani fired me. 'Why did you pronounce the words as if you are not a Muslim?' Thanks to those shots. Though they were hard on me but they made me. All other discussions that night I absentmindedly took part in them. My sleep was hellish, it was as if I was already in the hell. Sani's words 'as if you are not a Muslim' rang on and on in my hearing. Since the morning of the day that followed the event, I had been struggling to be a Muslim. Here I am today, still struggling. And the struggle continues. O Allaah, make me remain on the struggle.

Jordan Janowitz
Jordan Janowitz is a 26 year old bodybuilder from Michigan. He stands 57 tall and weighs 195 pounds when competing and bulks to 240 pounds in his off-season. He has 19.5 biceps, a 31 waist, 29.5 quads, 18.5 calves and a 54 chest. Jordan is a former long distance cross country and track runner who also played basketball in high school. This probably had a lot to do with his massive leg development. He has competed in several bodybuilding competitions, including the 2012 NPC Natural Flint (4th Place Heavyweight Class), 2012 NPC Mr. Michigan (7th Place Middleweight Class), 2012 NPC Natural Mr. Michigan (1st Place Middleweight Class and Overall Winner), 2013 NPC Mr. Michigan (1st Place Light Heavyweight Class), 2013 NPC Jr. Nationals (2nd Place Light Heavyweight Class), 2014 IFBB North American (2nd Place Light Heavyweight Class) and 2014 NPC Nationals (7th Place Middleweight Class).

Contact Information
- For more information, please contact the Activities Office at (952) 496-5171 or firstname.lastname@example.com
- If a ticket deadline is missed, please do not reach out. Tickets need to be returned to TCO for game day sales, so we will not be able to sell past the deadlines.
- Fan bus sign ups will have the same deadlines. Again, we cannot add riders past the deadlines. We need to get the numbers to the bus company so they can reserve an adequate amount of drivers.
