Gordon Ramsay and his brigade of amateur chefs served shepherd's pie served with pan-roasted carrots to diners at the F Word restaurant.

cooksalot1995 , 3 years agoAll that grating was more than I planned on, the end result was delicious. I think the reason for the onions to be grated rather than chopped is it helps to thicken the sauce so it isn't soupy.
Kriston , 3 years agoMy family of 4 really liked this recipe. I added a half can of peas as a layer before mashed potatoes, & next time I will add a can of diced tomatoes. I will fix it again. :-)
RachWatch , 3 years agoTasty. Followed other reviewers advice and added spoon of flour. Meat sauce must be quite reduced. Fried carrots were tasty. We did three carrots for two - would have eaten more! Will cook again.
Brendahsc , 3 years agoGordon Ramsey would never put beef in a SHEPHERDS PIE!!! it is called shepherds pie for a reason, it is made with lamb.
billiejoh3 , 4 years agoMMMMM!!! Even my super picky toddlers wanted more. My husband said that the leftovers were great.
Artolsav , 4 years agoDelicious! I used catsup instead of tomato paste, and frozen peas and carrots instead of the grated carrot, and it was still terrific. I also used beef broth. I was worried it would be too rich, but it turned out great. I think it is important to really reduce down the meat and wine untill it really is almost gone. Otherwise, it will have too much liquid and not thicken up nicely.

This Q&A is part of OPA’s “Three on Three” series where we ask three industry executives the same three questions on a topic to uncover actionable insights… If you want to learn more, keep an eye out on our site for more interviews. Today’s Three on Three interview is with Mike Kisseberth, Chief Revenue Officer of Purch, on Creating a Native Advertising Content.
Q: Describe the importance of quality content in the Native Advertising value proposition:
A: Quality is of the utmost importance when it comes to native. Consumers are smart and discerning. They will quickly disregard content if it isn’t providing value or enhancing their overall experience. Quality content, regardless of the source, also ensures publication integrity long-term. Without that, you’re not a credible venue for any type of promotion.
That’s why our editorial leadership is deeply involved with decisions regarding programs that could be considered native. When content creation is a part of the project, they will provide high-level direction to assure the approach will resonate with the audience. Since page design plays a huge factor in whether that content achieves the engagement the marketer is striving for, our editors will also work with our design and analytics teams to make sure the data says we got the experience right.
Finally, of course, is our passionate community of over 78 million readers worldwide. They keep us honest and let us know what they like or don’t like. They’re our best assets for quality control.
Q: Describe the way in which your organization handles the creation of Native Advertising content:
A: We’ve been hosting native campaigns, advertorials, and other forms of custom content, for years.
We have a very rich tool set to achieve a wide variety of objectives – from the beginning of the sales cycle to the final design. As a publisher that works in both programmatic and highly-customized campaigns, our direct sales team plays a tremendous role in providing potential buyers and clients with the deep contextual grounding and insight that is needed to develop and execute a standout, impactful campaign right from the start. They are backed by a product marketing team that has built out a proprietary content discovery platform that works across all of our sites and our partner sites. That team also project manages the programs from start to finish to assure flawless execution.
If content creation is part of the project, we call upon our editorial leadership for direction and thought leadership. We develop the content with a team of subject matter experts outside of the editorial team. All content requires the approval of our editorial leadership.
Recently we have become most excited by the mix of Brand Impact and Direct Response Performance that we have been able to achieve by optimizing page design of our own in-market content. In some cases, this can include wiping all the ads off the page to focus the audience’s attention on the action the marketer is striving for, even if that is just deeper consideration of the content. We have seen performance for many of these pages out stripe that of any marketing tactic our customers engage.
Q: What types of marketing initiatives lend themselves best to leveraging Native Advertising and how can they be designed to better deliver on their objectives?
A: It really depends upon the marketer and the media property that will host the content. Brand themes, thought leadership, even demand generation can be accomplished by a Native Advertising effort. The most important thing to consider is how you can serve the target audience first with the content you are delivering. If you can deliver value to the audience and your marketing objectives, then you can achieve performance that is hard to match through most any other marketing effort. Marketers and publishers who are considering sponsored content as part of their overall marketing mix need to get the order right though, serve the audience first with content that will be of genuine interest.
As Chief Revenue Officer, Mike oversees Purch’s (formerly called TechMedia Network) multiple advertising revenue streams. Most recently, Mike was the President and CEO of International Data Groups (IDG) Consumer & SMB division, where he led the growth of PC World and Macworld, evolving both to digital media and more than doubling the audience size. He also launched a new brand, TechHive, built a marketing services business “Content Works” and dramatically expanded IDG’s mobile and paid product offerings. Prior to IDG, Mike held high level positions at CNET Networks, Inc serving as SVP/Corporate Sales and Operations, where he led sales efforts and played an active role in implementing business strategies for every brand under the CNET Networks umbrella.

North Road, Clayton, Manchester M11 4WQ
A fine church of unusual design which exhibits strong character in the external massing and internal volumes. The interior incorporates extensive mosaic work by the Ludwig Oppenheimer firm.
Clayton was a small settlement around the moated medieval Clayton Hall. The area became built up during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and is now part of the Manchester suburbs. The mission was established in 1906 and the choice of St Willibrord, the first bishop of Utrecht, as patron was made by the Dutch priest, Fr Sassen, who had acquired land for the church in 1905. The present church was built in 1937-8. Its design is attributed in the list entry and in The Buildings of England to Reynolds & Scott, but that partnership did not in fact begin until 1946. The church is similar in date and architectural character to St Dunstan, Moston (qv), a documented work by Norris & Reynolds, who were in partnership from the mid-1930s until 1946. St Willibrord can therefore safely be attributed to Norris & Reynolds.
Archive photographs in Manchester Central Library image collection include one showing the apse in 1968, before reordering. Since that time the altar rails have partly removed and the original altar moved forward. The west end of the church was divided off by a screen to form a social and meeting area in circa 2006.
All orientations given are liturgical. For a description, see the list entry below. St Willibrord is similar in many ways to St Dunstan, Moston (qv), which was designed by Reynolds & Norris. The attribution to Reynolds & Scott in the list entry for St Willibrord is considered to be incorrect.
Both churches are of brick adopting Byzantine style with complex domed interiors, and both have mosaic schemes by the firm of Ludwig Oppenheimer, which also undertook mosaic work for St Patrick, Collyhurst (qv). Nikolaus Pevsner suggests that the churches may have been inspired by an Anglican church in nearby Gorton, Our Lady with St Thomas of Canterbury which was built to the designs of Walter Tapper in 1927. That church is also domed and similar in plan, but was never completed. Like St Dunstan, St Willibrord is notable for the power of the external massing and the impressive character of its internal volumes. Mosaic includes work in the apse with a dove, similar to the scheme at St Dunstan, panels over the northeast and southeast chapels, and other work. A narthex incorporates a sunken baptistery at the north end, now disused. There is coloured textured glass in yellow shades in many of the windows, the panels arranged in the form of a cross in the larger openings. Fixtures and fittings include an original altar with elaborate mosaic front and Stations of the Cross in mosaic panels. Part of the west end has been screened off to form a meeting area. The screen is of high quality and the glazing has been chosen to harmonise with existing glazing in the church. The architects responsible for the work were Bate & Taylor.

Blank Gaze, by José Luís Peixoto trans. Richard Zenith
Death, grief – and a giant's hand – in Portugal
An unnamed village in the Alentejo region, southern Portugal. Its inhabitants are rural, and poor – some are desperate, some more or less resigned, but all are poor.
Among them are the old twins joined at a little finger, identical, with identical gaits and postures, and (though they don't know this) an identical number of white hairs on their heads; and Old Gabriel, who is 120 when the story begins and then proceeds to age several decades further. And then there's the cook who falls in love, and starts making exquisite little figures out of her food. The feuding cousins, and the local priest – more frequently known as "the devil" – who torments them. A master carpenter and the blind prostitute who becomes his bride. There's a voice speaking from inside the old trunk in the big house. And there's a man in a windowless room, writing.
In presenting these characters and the vignettes that constitute their lives, novelist José Luís Peixoto pulls off a impressive and unusual feat; he creates characters who are archetypes, and yet simultaneously ones who are drawn in sufficient detail to demand (and earn) the sympathy of his readers.
The characters are general – many, the women especially, are denied even a name – but the descriptions of their stories and their sufferings are sometimes dreadfully particular. Just look closely at the lips of that tiny stillborn child... Life may seem a shared, common, endlessly repeated experience, but death is a particular, personal and lonely one.
Peixoto does give us weddings as well as funerals, though; there are moments of joyful news, new homes, happy births, unions and reunions, moments showing the unthinking tenderness of lovers, of parents and children. And there are pauses, of something like peace; peace that is hot and dry and grimly poor, but peaceful, at least – and then, out of this seeming stillness, burst other moments that are stark and startlingly brutal. The author gives us agonised death in childbirth, as well as fires, beatings and terrible suicides.
It's these images of grief that are the most vivid – it's death, but given to us as a vivid, lived experience, thanks to some intensely beautiful writing packed with startling and memorable images. (A giant's hand on display in church, anyone?)
Sadness and death, and the awful inevitabilities in each character's story, resonate throughout Richard Zenith's well-pitched translation. But the trust required by the author to follow his fragmented and claustrophobic tale is amply repaid; his bold, incantatory prose is consistently beautiful – apparently simple but also incredibly rich and resonant.
Voices are echoed in other voices, and the dialogue pulses along within it all, undifferentiated. The storytelling role passes between an external narrator and first-person characters and back again; the narrator's own wise words are picked up later and repeated by the characters, as though these portentous lines, these profound thoughts, are out there, abstracted from their lives, just humming in the air, like great discovered truths...
That even these weighty lines are moving and thought-provoking, rather than (as well might have been) tiresomely over-zealous or pretentious, is further testament to the author's considerable skills.

Treason is the second book in Boyce's Grimoire Saga. It picks up where Litchgates leaves off. Kara and Braeden are preparing to attend the gala in Ethos with the Bloods and others around Ourea. Kara needs to impress the royal families if she wants them to unite with her and fight for peace. Carden attacks the gala, and Braeden is almost forced to show his true form, which insights a riot among the Bloods. Now he must prove his allegiance with the Bloods and against Carden, even if that means risking his own life. Kara needs to learn whom she can trust and who is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and learns what true weakness is. She discovers something new and surprising about herself that could change the course of her campaign. What is the next step in this war against Carden? Will Ourea know peace?
This installment of the series is packed full of surprises that will keep readers guessing. Kara develops into a stronger character and not only struggles with what the first Vagabond wants, but also what she feels is morally right. She is slowly becoming the leader she needs to be, but she still relies heavily on other people, mainly Braeden. Their love for each can at times cloud their judgement and I haven’t decided if that is a good thing or not for this war against Carden. I have to wonder what kind of ruler Braeden would be and whether or not his own people would accept him as a leader should Carden fall. There is still a mystery that revolves some of the other bloods and their motives for things
While a lot happened in this novel, there are still a lot of questions, especially with the muses, isen and different aspects of the races. It seems some characters are discovering new things that no one knew before which makes me wonder what will happen in the next novel with these discoveries. Boyce wraps the story around reader’s minds and drags them down into Ourea. You become attached to certain characters even if it is not Kara or Braeden (for me it is the muses). We saw a lot from Gavin and Aislynn, but not the other bloods and I have to wonder if we will see them more in the future novels. I am very intrigued with them and want more from them and their cities. It is evenly paced, fast read. Even though there is a lot happening in the novel, it seems to fly past because you simply can’t pull yourself away from the pages.

No longer restricted to standalone applications, the new FX1N and FX2N micro PLCs from Mitsubishi Electric can now control as Masters AS-i and I/O link networks.
The age of the powerful micro PLC has arrived.
restricted to standalone applications, the new FX1N and FX2N
micro PLCs from Mitsubishi Electric can now control as Masters
AS-i and I/O link networks.
These enhanced communications
abilities now make the FX micro range of PLCs particularly suited
to distributed machine control applications, where the
requirement is for simple installation, reduced cabling cost, yet
still retaining high speed digital signal processing.
The new I/O
Link module, allows the FX1N and FX2N PLCs to master the I/O link
I/O Link is a simple Mitsubishi proprietary bit bus
network designed to make installation of digital networks simple
and cost effective.
As I/O Link is designed to specifically to
work with Mitsubishi PLCs, it means that there is no
configuration required, and no special programming.
All the user
has to do is to address the remote I/O as they would normally
program direct PLC I/O.
This simple to install yet powerful
network from Mitsubishi allows for 64 inputs and 64 outputs to be
distributed over distances up to 200 metres.
I/O link has a total
network refresh time for all 128 I/O of only 5.4 milli seconds.
The Actuator Sensor Interface (AS-i) compatible FX2N-32ASI-M
master module plugs directly into the FX1N or FX2N PLC as an
Each master can control up to 31 remote I/O
blocks, with each I/O block capable of connecting 4 digital
inputs and 4 digital outputs, giving a grand total of up 248
remotely located digital devices, such as sensors and actuators
controlled by one Master.
This control capability when added to
AS-iïs technology of being able to transmit communication and
power over its distinctive yellow profiled cables, ensures that:
installation is made as simple as possible, commissioning time of
field devices is greatly reduced, and there is no compromise on
These enhanced facilities add to the already
impressive communication options of the FX1N and FX2N, such as
the ability to be a slave on Profibus DP and DeviceNet networks.
It is also possible to use a separate Profibus DP bridge (in
place of a PLC) to be used with the standard FX0N/FX2N I/O and
analogue expansion modules., In addition to this breadth of
connectivity the FX1N and FX2N are already able to connect as a
slave station to the latest technology in open fieldbusses like
"CC-Link" and will soon be able to master this network
In conclusion it would be fair to say Mitsubishi's
Micro PLCs have really come of age.

Big plays were the key to Winner’s victory in the first round of the playoffs Thursday night in Winner.
The Warriors rolled to a 54-0 victory over Stanley County. The game ended at the half due to the mercy rule.
Winner will play in the Class 11B quarterfinals which will be Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. in Winner. The Warriors will host Bridgewater/Emery-Ethan.
Oct. 19 marked the one-year anniversary of Taylor Watzel’s death.
To honor his memory, prior to the game the football team released 66 balloons. Watzel’s jersey number was 66.
In Thursday’s first round of the playoffs, the Warriors got off to a fast start scoring 38 points in the first quarter.
On the second play, Riley Calhoon scored on a 53 yard run.
Midway into the first quarter, Calhoon scored again on a 20 yard run.
With 3:46 left in the first, Matt Smither punched the ball in from 9 yards out.
Brady Fritz picked up a punt return and ran it in for a 61-yard touchdown.
Shortly after Fritz’ score, Shea Connot intercepts a Buffs pass and runs it in for the touchdown.
Trevor Peters scored two touchdowns in the second quarter. He scored on a 4 yard run and a 3 yard run.
The Warriors had 13 first downs and held Stanley County to five.
Winner had a total of 264 yards rushing. The team was led by Calhoon with 96 yards, Peters, 84 yards; Phillip Jorgensen, 27 yards and Zach Lapsley, 21 yards.
“We thought going in the start of the game was going to be important,” said coach Dan Aaker.
“We played well and with a lot of energy.”
The coach said he was happy with the play of the defense.
Leading tacklers were Connot, 7; A. J. Roubideaux, 5; Brandon Volmer, 4; Levi McClanahan, 3.
Winner, the two-time Class 11B champion, will have the opportunity to play in front of the home fans on Oct. 26.
Aaker says last year in the semifinals, BEE gave Winner one of its best games. They return a lot of athletes from that team.
Both teams come into this game on Thursday with a 7-2 record. BEE’s only two losses are to Madison and Sioux Valley.
“We will have to have a good week of practice. We will be excited to play them,” said Aaker.
Note from Thursday’s game Oct. 19 marked the one-year anniversary of Taylor Watzel’s death. To honor his memory, prior to the game the football team released 66 balloons. Watzel’s jersey number was 66.

Is a 22 year old dating a 18 year old weird?
It is perfectly fine for a 22 year old to date an 18 year old.
The 18 year old is consenting and is of legal age so, there isn’t anything wrong.
You should date anyone of any age that you want..
Is it weird for an 18 year old to date a 27 year old?
Being that you are both adults, there is no issue in that regard. However, there is a huge difference between 18 & 27 and the 27 year old will more than likely see the 18 year old as a kid.
Is it wrong to date a 18 year old?
As mentioned above, a minor’s consent to sexual contact is irrelevant in the eyes of the law in California (in many other states, the age of consent is younger). … “Dating” can certainly imply sexual contact, which is illegal between a fifteen-year-old and an eighteen-year-old.
Is it OK for a 25 year old to date a 16 year old?
Dating is legal but you are not of an age to consent to sex at 16. However, even though it may be legal, it is still not a good idea. Your parents could also try getting a restraining order against him.
Can you be 16 and date a 20 year old?
As long as you are aware of the risks, the best judge is you. There aren’t any laws around being in a non-sexual relationship where one person is under 18 and the other over. Once you turn 16 it’s not illegal for someone to have sex with you no matter how old they are.
Can a 19 year old dating 27 year old?
there are no big issues. Yes a 27 year old is likely at a different life stage than a 19 year old but that’s not a big deal.
Is a 20 year old dating an 18 year old weird?
Larry Jerome Couture. People, in most states, who are 18 or older are considered adults. It is not illegal for an adult to date another adult. Further, even if one of the people is under the age of 18 they can date as long as their parents consent to the dating…
Is a 21 year old dating a 18 year old weird?
Originally Answered: Is it weird for an 18 year old girl to date a 21 year old guy? absolutely normal. since there is only small age gap between both of you, there is nothing to be worried about. but make sure, you don’t get serious unless you have a instinct that he’s the one, which is probably not.
Does age really matter in marriage?
When it comes to marriage, age difference doesn’t matter. Age is just a number; the most important thing is finding true love. If a lady finds love in a younger man, then she should go ahead and blossom in the relationship. If a man finds love in an older lady, they can still go ahead and establish their relationship.
Is it OK for a 28 year old to date an 18 year old?
but as long as its love, and you’re sure of it, it should be perfectly fine. and you should follow your heart. this may sound really stupid, but its true. If the guy still looks like young man in appearence even at 28, then ofcourse she can marry him.
Is it okay for a 18 year old to date a 30 year old?
There is no real legal issue, so, it isn’t a problem. SHOULD is a complicated answer. A big age difference doesn’t work for everyone. Between 18 and 30 there is a LOT of growth, change… etc.
What age gap is too big?
A relationship age gap bigger than 10 years often comes with its own set of issues. “While there are always exceptions to rules, a good rule to remember is that dating someone more than 10 years older will present challenges now or later that add to the preexisting challenges any relationship has,” he says.
Is 18 and 21 a bad age difference?
Is 18 and 21 a big age gap for dating? No, not really. I dated my fiance when I was 19 – he was 24. So long as the 18yo is actually over 18, it’s perfectly fine.
Is a 20 year age difference a problem?
Research has found that the age gap between a 20-year-old and a 40-year-old can cause more issues than the gap between, say, a 50-year-old and a 70-year-old. The theory is that this is due to the vast gulf in life stages among the former group.
Is it okay for a 25 year old to date a 18 year old?
So do I think a relationship between an 18 year old and a 25 year old can work? No. an age difference that great when one person is a teenager is completely unbalanced and it’s a recipe for disaster as far as the younger person being victimized without their knowledge until years later.
Is 17 and 25 a big age difference?
For a relationship? If you’re the 17 year old, then that gap constitutes 32% of everything you have experiences in life. Roughly one third of all of your life experiences, the 25 year old has done that much more than you. Put in those terms, yes, it’s a dramatic age gap.
Is 18 and 24 too big of an age gap?
Legally, no. Neither person is a minor. But it could be borderline in terms of life experience and maturity. If the 18-year old is still in high school, while the 24-year old has had several years of experience in working and living as an independent adult, then it increases the *gap* between them.
Can an 18 year age gap work?
Not perfectly, of course, but compared to being 18, it’s night and day. The trouble is, that solidified stance can be way different than it was at a young age, and if that happens to both people, that old “growing apart” idiom is too true. All of that said, it still works out half the time.

There’s a universe of millions of people who are behind the scenes, programming and connecting, building connections and building computers that make all of this happen. But it’s become a magical land.Michael Winterson
In Rebecca Solnit’s collected memoirs of A Field Guide to Getting Lost, the ecologist Gary Paul Nabhan compares his children’s perspective with adults upon encountering the Grand Canyon. Nabhan describes, “how much time adults spend scanning the landscape for picturesque panoramas and scenic overlooks. Whilst the kids were on their hands and knees, engaged with what was immediately before them, we adults traveled by abstraction”. Solnit notes how for a child, everything is immediate, instant and direct, “[w]hatever is absent is impossible, irretrievable, unreachable”. Everything is foreground. As humans become increasingly aware of the scale of phenomena in the universe, it begins to feel increasingly difficult to understand through observation that which is most immediately in front of us; we begin to abstract to make sense of the background and dismiss that which is in the foreground.
Cloud computing, the delivery of computing services—servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and more—over the Internet, operates simultaneously at the level of foreground and abstraction. A big, durable, well-functioning system, the Cloud encompasses “hardware and software, spectacular installations and imperceptible processes, synthetic objects and human personnel, rural and urban environments”. It is precisely this complexity that encourages a muting of the senses: physical yet abstracted; imperceptible yet spectacular. The Cloud is not reducible to a single frame; it is intangible in its entirety to any one person. Cloud infrastructure becomes foreground only when something goes wrong; a network carrier goes down due to power failure, or an undersea fibre optic cable is accidentally cut by a boats anchor at sea.
A study of media infrastructures is necessary to emphasise the materiality and physicality of hardware, localisation and distribution systems through which digital media signals—from the Cloud—are transmitted. Data centres, which act as central nodes, junctions, storage facilities and processing hubs of the Cloud exist “at the border between the dematerialized space of data and the resolutely physical buildings they occupy”. Technologies of the Cloud, epitomise this nexus crossover where “a consumer may think of ‘cloud’ as the cloud drive on his phone; […] a software developer may use ‘cloud’ to mean ‘software as a service’ […], while a network engineer may continue to use ‘cloud’ to mean a ‘network of networks’”. This confusion over the abstract terminology of network infrastructures is what brings my research into the site of infrastructure itself, to recalibrate crosstalk between definitions of ‘cloud’ from position of user, software engineer, and infrastructure engineer.
As an artist, I am interested in listening. I listen to the infrastructures of the Cloud and work to foreground their abstraction as both a physical and cultural manifestation. The project The People’s Cloud, is an exercise in Cloud receptivity. I combine the visual ‘reveal’ of the underlying material infrastructure of the Cloud with a sensory multimodal approach that considers the relations between people, things and the space in which the Cloud operates. It is an approach towards studying Cloud infrastructures which is receptive to a whole suite of registers and resonances concerned with the feelings, moods and connections between bodies and things encountered in the Cloud. I call this form of practice-based research a sonospheric investigation. The sonospheric investigation is as much research methodology as it is a research disposition, an approach towards empathic, resonating encounters in the world. It engages with vibratory flows through a collection of attentive methods of listening that make up what I call the sonopalette; blending registers and offering mixed modes of representation; presencing and bringing into being, sounds, vibrations, noises and affective vibratory impulses. It offers an opportunity to attempt to listen to the organic, nonorganic, human, and nonhuman without removing that process from the multiple cultural vectors also at play, as such acknowledging the inherent politics of listening. Attending to the sonic and sonospheric traces of the Cloud enables a recalibration between space, data and affect. Noise in the Cloud is my primary mode of research. This noise is both the acoustic by-product of Cloud infrastructure—industrial scale HVAC and power generation—and its social, representational, and at times more-than-representational resonance.
Meteorological clouds are ephemeral forms that amass and disperse in the sky according to observable physical laws. Infrastructures of the Cloud are predicated by a cultural metaphor of cloud-like ephemerality, a directly political act to obfuscate their material reality. Data centres—the material sites of the Cloud—virtually graft the “enclosure of the Internet onto the physical spaces of daily life”. As an exponentially growing platform, they “loom on the landscape like depopulated afterimages of industrial-era factories, inhabited not by workers, inmates, or patients, but by the combined data doubles of all of them”. How might we challenge this invisible structure of power? We can understand the Cloud as a historical object, whose story is largely unwritten on both the past and future. We can listen to the Cloud through the testimony of space, aural architecture, oral discussion, and through the vibratory force of human, non-human, and more-than-human intra-relationships with the machine. We can listen sonospherically to the Cloud.
The People’s Cloud exists as a collection of short-form documentary videos, where access was granted to interview a number of senior industry representatives from within the Cloud infrastructure industry; to listen to their stories, views and concerns, about an industry that impacts nearly everyone on the planet, but few, if any, understand. The project navigates both within and outside the Cloud’s critical nodes and as such sits between documentary and art, and perhaps fits into neither neatly. The People’s Cloud (Original Soundtrack) is a combination of unedited field recordings, and heavily processed electroacoustic compositions, with all recorded material sourced on location across some of Europe’s key Cloud infrastructure sites. The soundtrack acts both complementary and independently to the documentary series, generating atmospheric presence throughout the videos but also presencingthe spatial and experiential qualities of Cloud ecologies. It forms bridges between the mystical, imagined, black-boxed, natural, and technological environments resonating throughout the Cloud. The soundtrack removes human conversation from the work as heard in the documentary series, foregrounding the nonhuman energies of Cloud infrastructure; its soundscape, and the nodal connections between data, space and environment.
This project began following a journey to a small data centre in the West Midlands of the UK with a small handheld sound recorder and a phone. The rush of air and white-noise as the air-sealed security doors opened was such an overwhelming and intense experience, and one which I have subsequently encountered many times in the production of this project. Recording this intensive, wired, whirring and claustrophobic box, I felt like maybe I could begin to sense, feel, and hear the material presence of the otherwise abstracted existence of the Cloud. Data centres, are the central and critical nodes of Internet infrastructure. They situate the Cloud within racks of countless semiconductors, fibre optic cables and magnetic storage platters. They foreground the abstraction of the Cloud and make it material.

South Korean singer and actor Im Chang-jeong has filed for divorce from his wife Kim Hyun-ju, his agency said Wednesday.
“He has reached the decision (to divorce) after failing to overcome personality differences with his wife,” said an official from Im’s agency Wellmade StarM.
Another official said that the 40-year-old singer was currently staying in an unspecified location in the countryside to “settle his feelings.”

Im tied the knot with 29-year-old Kim in March 2006. The popular singer and then-professional golfer grabbed media attention.
The grounds for divorce were yet to be identified, but some sources implied Im’s busy schedule may have contributed. Im spent a lot of time away from home to film movies, which might have caused misunderstandings between the couple, the sources said.
Im had been separated from Kim for a year before undergoing divorce proceedings. According to reports from local dailies, the couple already reached an agreement on the custody of their three children.
Famous for his portrayal of energetic and light-hearted characters in many popular films, Im made his acting debut in the 1990 film “North Korean Partisan in South Korea” as a bit-part actor.
Not content with just acting, prolific Im began his singing career in 1995 and enjoyed success in the music business as well, being honored with the grand prize at the KBS Korean Music Awards in 1997.

The U.S. Army plans to buy Microwave Cannons to wipe clean drones out of the sky. Last Friday, the U.S. Army publicly announced its intentions to purchase the air-borne high-powered microwave system from Lockheed Martin, an American aerospace, defense, security, and advanced technologies company.
This countermeasure could be in response to the recent assassination attempt made against the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro using a pair of drones packed with remote-triggered explosives. The drones, however, was shot and deactivated. The widespread availability of these commercial drones is making it a new threat, especially to the U.S. Army.
The new build is inspired by a similar microwave system that was developed by Lockheed Martin for the Air Force, called the Self-Protect High Energy Laser Demonstrator (SHiELD). It was intended to be used against the attacking missiles.
The new and simple system which can be mounted to an airplane broadcasts a microwave beam that is capable of disabling the attacker drone’s primitive control systems causing it to crash. Laser and high-powered microwaves can someday even detonate the artillery rounds, motor rounds, or shoot down the rocket.
Nonetheless, a number of more safer and sophisticated countermeasures are available today, which could bring down the harmful drones. A recent study of drones at the Bard’s Center revealed that there are about 235 anti-drone systems and techniques either in use or in active development. And this could include tactics ranging from the most-effective target radio jamming to trained hawks plucking drones out of the sky.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 — The government restored Lembaga Tabung Haji’s (LTH) financial health by transferring problematic assets to a special purpose vehicle, Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof Rawa said in Parliament today.
The religious affairs minister was responding to questions about the pilgrim fund’s financial standing after it was previously revealed that its liabilities exceeded its assets.
Jempol MP Datuk Salim Sharif asked why the government did not consider options besides a SPV and whether the asset transfer would affect depositors.
Mujahid explained that the SPV was chosen to avoid requiring the government to issue a guarantee or infuse funds into LTH.
“Now with the success of the recovery plan and restructuring, in December 2018, we successfully placed our assets at RM76.5 billion compared to the liabilities and deposit of RM75.5 billion.
“This means we have closed the gap opened wide by the previous administration, and with that, we will issue dividends that we will soon,” he said.
In December, Mujahid disclosed that LTH was in deficit as liabilities exceeded assets by RM4.1 billion and had been paying dividends unlawfully.
The Tabung Haji Act 1995 prohibits the payment of dividends, or hibah as they are called in Islamic financial terms, if LTH is in deficit and has no distributable profits.
The government then created a SPV to acquire underperforming LTH properties and equities in exchange for RM10 billion in sukuk and RM9.9 billion in Islamic redeemable convertible preference shares (RCPS-i).


Theory of Young's Modulus for a Metallic Rod Experiment
Young's modulus, also known as the elastic modulus, is a measure of the stiffness of a solid material. It is a mechanical property of linear elastic solid materials. It defines the relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional deformation) in a material.
Bending of Beam Virtual Experiment (Young's Modulus for a Metallic Rod) | Principle
In Young's Modulus for a Metallic Rod experiment, A metal beam which is supported near its ends, is subjected to a load at its center will suffer a depression that can be used using a gauge. Relating the measured depression to the applied load, will enable us to determine Young’s modulus of the beam’s material.


Parents are raising concerns in response to a new Durham District School Board job posting for uncertified teachers.
The posting says “uncertified emergency supply teachers” will be assigned to elementary and high schools when there are no supply teachers available.
“This will help ensure that classes are not cancelled and that students are not sent home,” the DDSB says in a statement.
Applicants have to be enrolled in a university degree program or have completed a degree.
Other qualifications include experience working or volunteering with children and teens and “ability to ensure the safety and security of students.”
The job pays $175 for a full day.
The posting is circulating on social media with some parents calling it “worrying” and “concerning” and saying schools should communicate to families when an uncertified teacher will be in a classroom.
The DDSB says hiring uncertified teachers is not common, but does happen periodically when school boards have difficulty filling positions.
“There is a province-wide shortage of teachers and many school boards, including the DDSB, have unfilled positions,” a statement from the board notes. “School boards across the province have also been experiencing more pandemic-related absences and pressures earlier this year than last year.”
The DDSB added 467 new permanent teachers this year and hired more long-term occasional teachers that are dedicated to supply roles.
But, staffing pressures from the pandemic remain.
Earlier this fall, DDSB Director of Education Norah Marsh told trustees the problem was more pronounced this school year than 2020-21.
“We are getting dangerously close in some situations in terms of having to make the tough decision that the school cannot operate on that particular day due to high staff absenteeism. Of course, that’s going to be a last resort,” Marsh said.
The reasons for the staff shortages are complex. They include COVID-19 screening and isolation rules, more short-term sick leave due to staff burnout, parenting and caregiving responsibilities related to COVID-19 and occasional teachers that are hesitant to accept jobs due to the pandemic.
Asked about parent concerns, the DDSB says anyone hired as an uncertified teacher must pass a criminal background check and meet a list of qualifications.
“Any uncertified occasional teachers that are hired will be vetted through our recruitment team to ensure fit to the role. They will be provided specific training to prior to being placed in a school and will be supervised by the school principal,” the board says. “Much like an occasional teacher, they will be following the schedule that has already been developed by their regular classroom teacher.”
Shane Stagg, president of the Durham local of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, says emergency supply teachers are needed to alleviate stress on the system.
“Currently, the gaps are being filled by teachers covering other classes during periods of the day that are scheduled for lesson planning. As well, teachers in central board support positions are being redeployed to schools to cover classes," he says. “Without adequate coverage, the only remaining option would be to dismiss students. Educators are going above and beyond to support public education.”

29: Gil Green, Director - 305 Films
Why do some content creators have more success than others? The answer might surprise you… Gil Green gives us 3 proven ways to get the gigs you want and success you’re looking for, today on The Doorpost Podcast Project!
Raised in the cultural melting pot of Miami, director Gil Green encompasses a vast knowledge of music, sports, and style that transcends into a world of iconic imagery.
Gil’s first glimpse into the business, stemmed in high school as a DJ in Miami’s emerging Hip Hop and Dancehall Reggae scene. Underground battles and warehouse sound clashes set the stage for a cultural explosion. Along with his turntables, Gil was armed with a consumer video camera and some passion for filmmaking. He convinced his high-school teachers to allow him to submit short films instead of book reports, developing his love and craft for filmmaking. His school classmates were his first audience, showcasing engaging musical narratives on film. He continued to pursue an education in film at the prestigious New York University (NYU).
At the age of 19, Gil directed his first music video for his NYU thesis project. Inspired and persistent, Gil sold his car and took out student loans to cover production costs. The $5,000 video held it’s own next to the $500,000 videos at the time, and gained national media recognition on television channels such as MTV, BET and The BOX.
Gil went on to direct over 150 music videos spanning across the Pop, Latin, and European markets. His client roster includes multi-platinum artists such as John Legend, Chris Brown, Akon, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Neyo, Nicki Minaj, Usher, Pitbull, Flo Rida, P-Diddy, Neyo, Timbaland, Natasha Bedingfield, Robin Thicke, Nelly, 50 Cent, Matisyahu, Brandy, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Sean Paul, T-Pain, Rick Ross, Drake, Wyclef, Common, Trey Songz, Lupe Fiasco, The Roots, and Oscar award winners, Three 6 Mafia.
In 2007, Gil returned to Miami to set up a home-based production company along side seasoned Producer Judd Allison. 305 Films quickly became the recognizable brand for high quality productions in South Florida, South America, and the Caribbean.
Gil has had been honored with multiple awards and nominations for his work in Music Videos. In 2012, Source Magazine honored Gil for “Video of the Year.” Gil has been nominated for “Director Of The Year” for the 2008, 2009, and 2010 BET Awards and won the 2008 MTV Video Music Award for Best Hip Hop video for his direction in Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop.”
Gil continues to expand his directing talents into various mediums. He currently has directed the opening introductions for the Miami Heat for the past six years, featuring Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh. He also filmed commercials for international companies such as Pepsi, Timberland Boots, Bud Light, and Hasboro Toys.
Gil recently directed a short film called, “Who Is Lou Gehrig?” The inspiring film is set to hit the festival circuit in 2015.
From music videos to commercials, Gil’s creative palette is drawn from a inspiring well of music, sports, and lifestyle. Gil’s next step is to translate his unique vision into the world of feature films. “My goal as a film maker is for the viewer to see it once and think about it twice.”

Jade C. Calingasan, 33, and her husband Ruel B. Calingasan, 34, are the partners behind Woody Bags Mushroom Farm in Cuenca, Batangas.
The couple was able to make a business out of a 40 square meters space by turning it into a mushroom growing house that can accommodate up to 6,000 mushroom fruiting bags.
At this point, the couple only focuses on growing white oyster mushrooms.
The start of it all
The business idea sprouted in late 2018 after the couple attended a training seminar on mushroom production. Out of their passion and excitement, they were able to build a growing house by December of the same year.
Their first harvest was in April 2019. A few months later, they started participating in bazaars and it became an opportunity to increase their brand awareness.
Fast forward to the first quarter of 2020, things started to get out of hand when the Taal volcano erupted and was followed by the COVID-19 lockdown in March. That time, many of their plans got canceled and according to Jade, they were brought to their knees because of the double whammy that 2020 had brought about.
Driven by their hopes and desire to continue working with local farmers from whom they get agricultural wastes for the substrates, the duo managed to get back on track last November 2020.
When they came back, they introduced a new product—mushroom cracklings—called Kabuchips.
Although it was a rough start for this husband and wife tandem, they are making progress slowly but surely. As Jade defines their journey, “It is a walk in the park with land mines.”
They are now at that stage of coordinating with government agencies to improve their products and widen their market.
“When we started growing mushrooms, we decided to manufacture mushroom products, and selling fresh mushrooms is only secondary. Our game plan is to use our own harvest to make , develop a wider market reach, and teach other local farmers to grow their own mushrooms buy from them,” said Jade, who grew up in a family that farms for a living.
Growing, growing, and growing
The business, as of the interview, employs four workers, which is guided by Ruel. Jade’s non-biological father and cousins also help in maintaining the mushroom house.
Woody Bags Mushroom Farm, which now generates a maximum gross income of P100,000 per month, offers fresh oyster mushrooms (P35 to P250) and value-added mushroom products like mushroom and alamang, mushroom powder, and mushroom sisig.
For them, the biggest challenge yet is the short shelf life of fresh mushrooms since “they can perish in a matter of hours and thus, must be sold immediately.”
Jade underscored two things that are key to successful mushroom farming. “First is the proper post-harvest handling to naturally preserve and lengthen the shelf life of fresh oyster mushrooms. The second is processing mushroom-based products. Knowing how to do these two, we are able to add value to our harvest and tap a bigger market.”
With proper training and the right mindset, the couple makes the most of their mushroom yield and prevents cases such as overproduction and spoilage of mushrooms.

Fauz Khalid says he brought the car and cleared all the necessary documents but he yet to receive full payment for the car from Bobi Wine
Y’all know that Bobi Wine’s Armored car, a Toyota Land-cruiser V8 could be impounded by Ugandan Revenue Authority any time they find on the road.
URA tasked Bobi Wine to take back the black machine for re-assessment, which he declined and instead told them to go to court. This happened just days after he flaunted the Big Black toy on social media.
At the centre of the probe is the Mombasa businessman who sold the car to Bobi Wine. Fauz Khalid, a renowned businessman in Mvita constituency, was on the spot after reports came to light that he sold the car to NUP darling.
Fauz Khalid admitted that he drove to Uganda to deliver the the Big Black Toy as agreed in November 2020. However, Khalid detailed that he did not anticipate the controversy that came out of his business deal with his Ugandan client.
The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), a Kenyan website shows that Khalid was the registered owner of the luxurious car. The vehicle’s ownership has since changed to Bobi Wine.
Khalid confirmed that he and Bobi Wine have been long-time friends dating back to when Khalid was in school in Uganda in both secondary and tertiary education.
He revealed that he is yet to receive full payment for the car.
“Yes i drove the car to Uganda myself for clearing though i didn’t anticipate all this drama. I have not yet received all the payment for the car since it is paid in installment…” He said in an interview with Kenyan website, Nairobi post before adding,
“….Bobi Wine is my long time pal. We knew each other from way back when i was in Uganda for studies”
Wine had initially taken to social media to thank his local and foreign supporters for the brand new bulletproof car.
“There’s another group of comrades who kick-started a fundraising campaign for a bulletproof vehicle. These comrades informed me of their plan but I thought it was an uphill task given how expensive it is.
“A few weeks ago, these comrades surprised me when they informed me that they had succeeded in raising enough money for the vehicle and here it is. I can’t thank you enough,” Wine wrote on his social media pages.
The Big Black toy drew the attention of Ugandan Authorities and the Ugandan Revenue Authorities who, upon further inspection, indicated that the vehicle was erroneously cleared.
They sought to find out how the politician duped the state and erroneously undervalued the cost of the car.
Details Emerge On Fauz Khalid
Born in Munz, Mvita Sub-County, Khalid has been in the logistics business for over 20 years.
In 2017, Khalid and other activists were arrested by the police after they had staged a protest lamenting the negative impact caused by the Standard Gauge Railway(SGR) on traders in Mombasa.
The directive was issued by Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia who had ordered all port cargo to be rerouted from the road to the SGR.
“That is a very draconian policy and it has affected businesses at all levels here in Mombasa and even in Ukambani,” Khalid stated after been released from Central Police Station in Mombasa.
Further, the businessman was also lauded for his community activities after he brought to light a situation involving a social media user who had aided her childhood friend recover from years of drug addiction and living on the streets.
Alluding to the passion to help the community, the businessman has expressed interest in vying for the Mvita Parliamentary seat in the upcoming 2022 general elections.

Cartoon Network - Hall of Game Awards - (2013) :105 (United States)
Forget the Golden Globes and the Oscar’s – this year’s awards season is all about who’s got Game. Nola Pictures’ Bruce Hurwit recently teamed up with longtime partner, Cartoon Network, to create “Training,” a clever spot starring Shaquille O’Neill and Nick Cannon for the Cartoon Network Hall of Game Awards. The fast-paced and off-the-cuff ad jumps from a delightfully left-field introduction to a slapstick training montage, allowing the two co-hosts show off their comedic chops with a madcap workout.
“I’m very lucky to have been involved with Cartoon Network since their beginning,” noted director Bruce Hurwit. Indeed, “Training” is just one of the spots produced by Nola for the Hall of Game Awards, following an earlier piece that introduced Nick Cannon as a surprise co-host. The Hall of Game Awards is a first-of-its-kind, sports award and entertainment event for kids where celebrities are honored with the coveted GAME trophy and this year’s campaign gleefully adopts that same self-referential and boffo tone.
Taking a direction more rooted in classic buddy comedy humor than the surreal and absurdist work of the 2012 campaign – which also featured Shaq – Hurwit worked closely with the actors to give “Training” an informal and easy feel. “We stuck pretty close to the script for the most part, but Shaq always brings new ideas to the table. He’s very aware of what goes into directing, which also makes him thoughtful of how things will cut together. There really isn’t much more you can ask for,” recalled Hurwit.
“The chemistry between Nick and Shaq is amazing,” continued Hurwit, “they’re longtime friends, so it added so much to the piece. They’re both so fun to work with that it barely feels like working, making for an enjoyable shoot.”

It’s hard to choose the five best diving destinations anywhere in the world, let alone in the Caribbean, because every diver wants something different. Maybe they are looking for a certain species of fish, or perhaps a certain colour coral, or even a certain formation of sponge. Certain aspects of diving and snorkelling remain constant however, such as good access, clean water, good, healthy corals and loads of underwater action from the residents of whichever reef is being dived.
Just outside Venezuela lies Bonaire’s Bari Reef, which according to most divers, provides the best diving in the Caribbean for beginner divers. With excellent shore diving and over 390 different species of fish, most of which can be found at 50 feet and above, Bari Reef has taken the Reef Environmental Education Foundation’s top spot for fish diversity. Before divers are allowed to visit this reef, they are required to do a warm-up dive off the shore. The reef is very easy to access, starting with only 20 feet of water. There is also an old, collapsed pier around which gather many species of fish. Deeper into the reef are elephant-ear sponges, along with small eels, and unusual reef formations. There is also debris lying between 20 and 100 feet from a hurricane in 1999. In among these pieces of broken concrete and stone dart numerous species of fish, easily visible by even the most inexperienced diver.
Moving on we come to Little Cayman, and what’s considered by most professional divers as the ultimate wall dive – Bloody Bay. There is a beautiful plateau leading to the wall which proudly displays a wonderful variety of marine life including hard corals, inquisitive fish, and a good variety of sponges. There are wonderful photographic opportunities at the Mixing Bowl where triggerfish, grouper, and horse-eye jack’s seem to be waiting to have their pictures taken as they feed, socialise and nose around in the sand. As divers descend the wall itself, nature puts on a show, with almost every species and type of sponge and coral jostling for position. Some divers only visit the wall in order to look out into the open water and see the colour of the vast ocean depths, often called “deep drop-off blue” and experience a feeling of awe. The best times to visit are summer and autumn, with cold months bringing with them strong winds.
Moving on, the British Virgin Islands and the wreck of the Royal Mail Steamer (RMS) Rhone, the 310 foot long ship which was broken in two when it sank during the hurricane in 1867. There were 120 people on board, most of who unfortunately were killed. Most of the wreck is still intact, allowing for wonderful photographic opportunities, which makes it one of the most visited sites in the Caribbean. The wreckage is deemed very safe and stable and was also used during the 1977 filming of The Deep. The girders inside the hull are completely covered with sponges and beautiful orange corals, while schools of fish roam around the ship’s interior. Unfortunately divers are not permitted to take anything away from the wreckage, either for educational purposes, or for pleasure.
In Bimini in the Bahamas, an experience awaits unlike any other. All around the Caribbean there are captive dolphin facilities popping up like dry cleaners, selling extremely expensive “swim with the dolphin” packages. However this is nothing like what is on offer in Bimini. In this dolphin hotspot there are wild pods of ocean-going dolphins that swim with snorkelers on a daily basis. In this part of the Caribbean, the dolphins are not thought of as possessions, being thought of instead as friends and visitors. Snorkellers and divers visiting the area are taken out on boats to search for pods of dolphins and upon finding one are invited to jump into the water. This is thought of as being the same as asking the dolphins for a swim, with the mammals sometimes sticking around for up to 5 hours at a time. There is no guarantee however, that the dolphins will swim with the diver, as they are after all completely wild and totally unpredictable. This however, only adds to the excitement of the trip. It is said that the longer you spend on a trip, the longer the experience you will have with the dolphins. Indeed many divers engage in trips of at least five days, in order to better their chances of having an extended swim with a wild pod. Swimming with dolphins however, is not the only pastime here, with snorkelling and boat trips also popular among holidaymakers. There are many tour operators here, offering educational trips around these islands.
On the last leg of the journey we come to Saint Thomas, USVI, and Cow and Calf Rocks. Cow and calf rocks are two rock formations which Sailors in olden days sometimes thought where the backs of two whales, a mother and her calf. The maximum depth here around both rocks is about 50 feet, and is suitable for snorkelling or diving. Cow Rock has an amazing tunnel system and what divers call the “champagne cork”, because under the right conditions wave action around and inside the rock might boost you up through a hole at the top of the rock. There are many creatures to see in both rocks including green moray eels, lobsters, turtles and many species of fish. While diving the tunnel system in Cow Rock, divers are advised to bring a good quality light source and an equally good camera, as there are many photographic opportunities available. Divers should also expect to see, and be ready to photograph the beautiful corals living in both rocks. This is an excellent night diving location, and is truly an unforgettable excursion.

Humans are awfully hard on seafood. The world's big commercial fisheries have been in decline for decades, partly due to overfishing of species like cod, tuna and Chilean sea bass. Meanwhile, irresponsible farming of shrimp and tilapia degrades the environment.
Some concerned chefs have stepped to the plate. Jason Huzzard, executive chef at Downtown's Original Fish Market, uses the famed Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch List. The sustainability-minded pocket guide divides seafood into "Best Choices," "Good Alternatives" and "Avoid."
The restaurant buys some 200 pounds of fish weekly, but Huzzard mostly shuns "Avoid" species. Take monkfish, a sushi favorite caught in ways that damage the seafloor and have high "bycatch" of sea turtles and marine mammals. "I love monkfish but won't buy it," Huzzard says.
Huzzard seeks purveyors he trusts, and considers U.S.-sourced fish better regulated than imported. "If it's not as close to being as sustainable as possible, I try to find an alternative that is," he says. Perfection isn't possible, though: Huzzard buys imported shrimp because there isn't enough U.S. supply to source affordably.
Huzzard, 37, would like to see more sustainability-consciousness from the likes of popular TV chefs. "I don't see any of them giving a crap," he says.
Self-interest is involved, too. "If I burn out the fish, we won't have any to serve," explains Huzzard. "If somebody like me can do my part, I feel like I'm doing a good thing."

A new installment in the WWE Icons documentary series hits the WWE Network and Peacock this Sunday, this time centered around WWE Hall of Famer and former WWE Women's Champion Beth Phoenix. The official trailer for the episode was released on Monday, which you can see above.
The official synopsis for the episode reads, "WWE Network Documentaries will debut the second episode of 'WWE Icons' that tells the story of Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix. Growing up in upstate New York, Beth broke down barriers by becoming the first female wrestler on her high school's wrestling team. Despite the heartbreak of injury & rejection, Beth persevered to become a WWE Superstar. Now, as she balances being a mother of two and an NXT announcer, Beth Phoenix has become a role model."
The trailer recaps Phoenix's journey from loving pro wrestling as a child to her amateur wrestling career in high school to her years spent training in Ohio Valley Wrestling before finally arriving on WWE television.
Phoenix first arrived on Monday Night Raw in 2006 as part of the ongoing storyline between Trish Stratus and Mickie James. Unfortunately, a fractured mandible injury set her back, and it wasn't until July 2007 that she was able to fully emerge as "The Glamazon." She'd wrestle full-time for WWE until 2012, capturing the Women's Championship three times for a combined 367 Days and the Divas Championship once.
Recognized as a pillar of the Women's Division, Phoenix was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2017. She now works full-time as a color commentator for the NXT Brand.
WWE Icons premiered on Jan. 31, with its first episode focused on former WWF Champion Yokozuna. Future episodes will center around Rob Van Dam, Lex Luger and Davey Boy Smith.

Neighbor, shelter at odds over barking
Owners of a neighboring campground are renewing their call for the animal shelter to muzzle the sound of barking dogs, but county officials first want proof there is a problem.
Philip Wright, one of the owners of the Serenity’s Edge campground, returned to the Elizabethton/Carter County Animal Shelter Advisory Board Tuesday seeking answers to his complaint that dogs at the animal shelter were making too much noise and disturbing the campers.
Board chair Mike Barnett told the board about options that he had explored as a possibility for a sound barrier between the shelter and the campground, such as a dirt berm, a sound-canceling fence or a tree line.
Wright asked if that meant the board acknowledged there was a noise problem at the shelter; County Mayor Leon Humphrey rejected that suggestion.
“We are still not saying there is an issue,” Humphrey said. “We have visited the site and have not heard the issue you say is there. We have to have proof that there is a problem before we can start to invest in this project. You repeatedly say there is, but we have no proof.”
Humphrey added that it was up to Wright to furnish proof there is a noise problem at the campground caused by the dogs barking at the animal shelter.
Wright said he planned to have a noise study conducted, but wanted to make sure it met the criteria the board was looking for before submitting it. He said he had also advised campers to make calls to the mayor’s office about the noise. Humphrey said he had received no calls from anyone about noise from the shelter.
Wes Wright, a co-owner of the campground, said he had to beg the campers to stay and hoped the noise problem was corrected before the expansion on the campground was finished. The Wrights are working to add more campground spots on the west side of the campground, closest to the shelter.
Friends of the Animal Shelter board member Meg Brown asked why the campground was expanding if the shelter noise was damaging business to the extent they said it was.
Philip Wright responded that the campground was a “preexisting concern” and if “something would have to go, it is the shelter.”
Wes Wright said the infrastructure for the additional spots had mostly been installed before the shelter moved and the campground was finishing a project that had been started.
Barnett turned the discussion back to the noise control items.
He said he had spoken with Keith Hart at the agriculture extension office about adding trees or other plants between the two properties.
After talking with Hart, it was determined trees would take many years to mature, and would bring about the added concern of bird flock nesting and the related sanitation issues.
Another option would be to collect mulch and build a mulch berm between the properties. Barnett said they first thought they could collect mulch from the city that was made from the brush pickups.
He learned the mulch does not belong to the city, but is given to the outside business that grinds the brush.
Barnett said they still had the option of using mulch made from brush collected by the electric department, but that it could possibly result in issues with the Environmental Protection Agency if the mulch runoff made its way to the Watauga River.
Barnett also spoke with Summers-Taylor Inc. about the cost of adding a 12-foot by 100-foot dirt berm between the shelter and the campground. The early estimated cost of that project was around $15,000.
Another estimate was given for a 12-foot by 100-foot block wall, which was estimated at $8,235.
Barnett said he tried to contact other companies, including one that made a sound-blocking fence, but received no answer.
A runner in downtown Elizabethton told police she was struck by a car that had left the roadway and traveled... read more

Concrete Driveway Installation Hire the Pros | Cement Driveway
A concrete finisher is a skilled tradesperson who works with concrete by placing, finishing, protecting and repairing concrete in engineering and construction projects. Concrete finishers are often responsible for setting the concrete forms, ensuring they have the correct depth and pitch. Concrete finishers place the concrete either directly from the concrete wagon chute, concrete pump, concrete skip or wheelbarrow. They spread the concrete using shovels and rakes, sometimes using a straightedge back and forth across the top of the forms to screed or level the freshly placed concrete. After levelling the concrete, they smooth the surface using either a hand trowel, a long handed bull float or by using powered floats. After the concrete has been leveled and floated, concrete finishers press an edger between the forms and the concrete to chamfer the edges so that they are less likely to chip.

Twenty-eight female guards were unfairly dismissed by a security company because the client‚ Metrora.
The proposed settlement with strikers will cost the state R15billion if the unions accept a 7,5percent pay rise offer, a senior government economist said yesterday.
This is R350million more than the government's revised offer of a 7,25percent salary increase, which would have cost R14,6billion.
Though the government's official offer stands at 7,25 percent, it would consider a 7,5percent increase, said government economist Vuyelwa Vumendlini.
The government has said civil servants' unions should accept its revised offer or settle for the lower offer.
"Anything higher than that is unaffordable and inflationary," said Vumendlini.
She said though it meant more money for the workers, it would also push up interest rates and the price of goods.
"It would fuel inflation in the long term," she said.
Cosatu spokesman Patrick Craven said the labour federation was consulting its members about the offer.
Steven Gelb, a development economist with the Edge Institute in Johannesburg, said a 10percent increase would not have much effect on inflation.
He said civil servants' packages had cost 9,4percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) last year but would have amounted to only 9,1percent of the higher GDP this year.
The unions' demand would keep them level at 9,4 percent, he said.
"Inflation is coming from a lack of capacity and imported prices, not from excess demand caused by fiscal expenditure," he said.
The unions have lowered their demand from 12percent to 9percent since the strike began three weeks ago.
The government has upped its offer of a 6percent increase to 7,25percent, including an additional 1percent general salary increase.
It has and has revised salary structures for skilled professionals and improved the housing allowance and medical aid contributions, which will now be paid for all staff.
Additional salary increases for health and medical professionals, teachers, legal professionals, correctional officials, engineers, architects and environmentalists would be introduced over two years from July 1.
Vumendlini said these incentives were aimed at making these careers more "lucrative" and retaining professionals in the civil service.
In terms of the settlement, a qualified teacher with four years' experience would earn R114423 from R99540, and a qualified nurse with four years' experience would earn R125942, up from R78477.
