TNA Wrestling are fighting for their television lives and they are looking for some heavy hitters for assistance. According to reports, TNA are making a big play for a former WWE star in hopes that he can give them a much needed boost and open up a new audience.
[adinserter block=”1″]Dave Meltzer had the story in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. According to Dave, Dixie Carter is making a big play for Rey Mysterio Jr. According to Meltzer, the company is doing everything it can to entice the former WWE world champion.
“The company made a big play this past week for Rey Mysterio Jr., who is still most likely headed to Lucha Underground, even though nothing official has been announced yet. John Gaburick and Dixie Carter both talked with him. They pushed the idea that they could get his merchandise into all the stores, and open doors for movies and TV to him, and they would build around him as their long-sought-after Mexican superstar. They also noted that if he signed with them, he could work anywhere he wanted on his off days.”
This is yet another aggressive move by the company to sign a former WWE Latino star. The company reportedly made a big play for Alberto Del Rio shortly after he was released from his WWE deal. Interestingly enough, Meltzer doesn’t indicate whether Rey accepted, considered, or turned down the offer although all indications are at this point that he hasn’t signed a deal.
It is a very intriguing story when you put it in context with all of the rumors about Destination America dropping Impact Wrestling in September. The idea that TNA would somehow have the resources to sign a Rey Mysterio contradicts a lot of what we have read about TNA’s current state. TNA’s owners Panda Energy certainly have the funds, but I can’t see how TNA could have presented Panda with reasonable investment strategy into pouring all of those resources into one wrestler at a time where the company’s future is in doubt.
A TNA defender could look at this story as the glass half-full and conclude that TNA has a firm commitment from Destination America to stay past September. How else could TNA in its right mind make a serious offer to Rey when Mysterio is aware of all of the turmoil surrounding the company? Why would Mysterio even consider it at that point? A skeptic would say that TNA may be using this story to deflate all of those cancellation rumors. Maybe TNA management knew that Rey would not sign yet used this story to alleviate concerns of staff that the company is in jeopardy of losing its TV deal?
I also don’t see how TNA could make those promises about merchandise when I can’t recall ever seeing a piece of TNA merchandise in my local mall or department stores. I also don’t recall seeing any TNA talent in any recent movies or starring television roles outside of reality TV. The story almost sounds like a joke if you really sit back and think about it.
[adinserter block=”2″]One option this brings to mind is a player-owner type of a deal. When CM Punk’s contract was coming due before his big run at Money in the Bank, I floated the idea of TNA signing Punk to a deal where he became a part owner, receiving a small percentage of the company’s revenue. Of course that never happened, but it would be a creative way to get a deal done. Paul Heyman wanted a similar deal when he negotiated with TNA several years ago to come in and book and we all know how that worked out.
I will say this. I’d love to see Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio one more time. I think these guys had one of the most underrated series of matches in WWE history. Other than that, I see no reason why Rey Mysterio would sign with TNA. It’s a fun story and I believe that TNA did make a play, I just can’t believe that anyone from TNA really thought they had a shot of signing him.


Improving the transient stability of the Nigeria 330kV transmission grid using thyristor controlled series compensator
This study reveals the transient stability improvement capability of Thyristor Controlled Series Compensation (TCSC) as an effective Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) device in damping low frequency oscillations on the Nigeria 330kV transmission system. The study was performed using commercially available MATLAB software. The analysis was carried out by simulating a 3-phase fault on the network in order to determine the Critical Clearing Time (CCT) of the system. In locating the TCSC, the most severely disturbed generator was considered. Simulation results on the Nigeria 330kV transmission system modelled in MATLAB environment reveals appreciable transient stability enhancement of the network.
Keywords: transient stability, critical clearing time, thyristor-controlled series compensator, 3-phase fault, Nigerian 330kV transmission system

REMOTE CONTROL AND READOUT OF THE CONSUMPTION METERS WITH THE IPC*WAVEFLOW SYSTEMS
The WAVEFLOW IPC system enables the introduction of a fairer water and gas consumption billing system according to the real consumption in a billing period. With the system installed, almost the infinite number of consumer’s meter readouts is possible, literally with a touch of a finger.
One of the most important, if not the most important value of this system is, in the case of pipe rupture, the module sends alarm messages in real time, which would ultimately rescue of human life, and saving valuable inventory.
Remote meter readout for gas and water allows fully automated readout of the entire distribution system from one location to the pre-defined schedule or on demand. The control of the distribution system is enabled, as well as early detection of faults in pipes, meters or equipment for remote reading. Besides the devices, an integral part of the system are also applications for readout control. Application on the field computers records field device setting up and systems control outside of central location. Central application provides meters readout, data exchange with the ERP system and system control.
Remote readout of emptying bins and waste containers allows recording of collected waste and fairer billing for garbage collection according to really collected volume.
MainFlowIPC is a remote radio readout of water and gas meters. Compatible with smart (Smart meter) and pulse counters of many manufacturers. Through close cooperation with manufacturers and partners, the system completely and in the most advanced way, uses Wavenic iRadiotech technology.
The system DOB MainFlowIPC is not just a software solution. It is a concept that should enable the successful implementation of a demanding construction of a project of DOB. Measures are embedded into the solution that lead to a steadily increasing readability and accuracy of the system and enable project monitoring of a construction thanks to the many reports available and the mechanism for issuing and monitoring work orders. The system is self documenting, while the construction is based on tools that enable ad hoc assembly without excessive planning in advance.
Parts of the system where there is no built in radio network, only meters from the radio module can be read by the principle of walk by. Walk by DOB system is a remote meter readout within range of the module on the meter itself. This means that when we must move close enough for a readout: but we don’t need to enter a home or garden users and that is essential. The most common version of the walk by system is a terminal with which a meter man, in charge for the readouts visiting the area, does the readouts. It is necessary to prepare the data before reading and reception of data after reading. Medimurje IPC has developed an innovative version of a walk by named JustWalkIPC system, that eliminates many disadvantages of the standard walk by in means of ways of reading.
Just Walk IPC is an innovative system of remote meter readouts that brings the benefits of a stationary(fixed) readings in the area of walk by system. The idea behind the system is an automatic guidance to the meter and an automatic readout at the same time. Ultimately, the meter man only needs to turn on the terminal, put it in his pocket and get close enough to each meter.It does not require preparation of data in the form of a path and it does not require data transfer after readings. The system is ON LINE and information end up in the database at the moment of reading. In essence it is the same system as the fixed reading and will later move on to a larger system to be a part of a fixed network.


Published at Saturday, 13 January 2018 by Moreen Picot in Mattress, with total 68 photographs.
With spring mattresses there is always fiber or some type of foam that is placed over the springs but these coils will cause a trampoline effect and tend to bend inward whenever pressure is applied and they do this without conforming to the bodys specific bumps and curves. A spring mattress acts as a shock absorber and this reduces the wear and tear of the mattress. So the fewer coils there are in the mattress the thicker the springs get. Another thing about spring mattresses is that the foam covering the springs could shrink over time making springs exert more effort in supporting the weight thus making them susceptible to losing their shape or getting broken over time.
The latex used in mattress toppers and pillows is really tough and a superior product made from latex can last you for decades. However for a person who is not willing or are not able to run to completely change their old mattress but lack more of the benefits a further option is to invest in a latex rubber mattress topper. This type of foam mattress topper may add substantial cushioning to a existing mattress that seems too unyielding.
When people decide to purchase a new mattress they often undervalue the importance of their decision and end up with a product that not only leaves them dissatisfied but potentially in pain for several years. When you consider that most people spend more time on their mattress than they do at work it makes sense that the mattress buying process should take time even a lot of time.

Stajan has gone eight games without a point and has just four assists on the season. The lack of production shouldn't come as much of a surprise from the 32-year-old, as he found his way onto the scoresheet just 17 times in 80 games last year. At this point, those holding out for a return to his 55-point Maple Leaf days from 2009 would be best served forgetting about such things, as Stajan isn't likely to make many fantasy waves anytime soon given his downward career trajectory.
Stajan dished out an assist in Tuesday's overtime victory over the visiting Sabre Not much of a fantasy factor these days, the 32-year-old now has a pair of points in four games to start the season. Stajan managed just 17 points across 80 contests in 2015-16 while averaging 12:42 of ice time and hardly shoots the puck (52 SOG last year), so anyone still clinging to hope for a return to his 57-point form from 2009-10 would be wise to move on.
Stajan recorded three assists -- one shorthanded -- and a plus-4 rating in Thursday's 7-3 victory over the Canucks. Surely one was not expecting Stajan to erupt for his first multi-point outing of the season, especially in the second-to-last game of the year. Well, that happened, and it was also (easily) the 32-year-olds best rating to date. With this explosion, the veteran has equaled his last campaign at 17 points.
Stajan (face) returned to game action Saturday, but recorded just one shot on goal and saw just 8:10 of ice time against the Blackhawks. Stajan remains off the fantasy radar in the majority of leagues, notching just 14 points in 73 contests this season. He appears to be good to go moving forward, so injury shouldn't be a concern for those looking to add him to daily lineups or in the deepest of season-long leagues.
Stajan left Thursday's game against the Wild after taking an elbow to the face, Kristen Odland of Postmedia reports. No update was offered on Stajan following the contest, but his situation should be revealed in the next couple days. The 32-year-old doesn't provide much production, so an absence beyond Thursday still shouldn't have much impact in fantasy leagues.

The Shelton Land Conservation Trust, Inc. is pleased to announce to the citizens of the City of Shelton and nature lovers everywhere its newest land acquisition. We are pleased to report our Thiele Woods parcel just grew by one acre, now totaling 4.28 acres. This parcel located at 706 Long Hill Avenue also borders an additional two acres of City of Shelton owned open space. The additional acre now gives additional street frontage to the property forever protecting the natural landscape along the road. The wooded parcel features an intermittent stream, a steep upland area containing unique rock outcroppings, and is home to area wildlife. The trust was contacted this past fall by William Thiele who expressed interest in donating the property to the trust. After a site walk the trust confirmed it was a great addition to our existing parcel. We took title to the property earlier this year, soon the trust will be installing a sign to identify the piece and give recognition to the donor. Stewardship plans will address removal of some scattered invasive plant species before they fully consume the area. This work will be done mostly by volunteers but welcome donations that help support our stewardship efforts. If you see us out there stop by to say hi or lend a hand as we are always looking for volunteers.
Founded in 1969, the Shelton Land Conservation Trust is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and protection open spaces in Shelton, Connecticut. We are member supported and accept additional donations. The trust currently owns over 360 acres throughout the City of Shelton. Our properties have been acquired by purchase, partnership, grant, and bequest. The Trust's members and officers are your neighbors who are working to save some of our streams, ponds, woodlands and marshes for native wildlife and for the enjoyment and education of those throughout the community.

One of the most satisfying experiences that I have in my work as a life coach is to witness a client coming into clarity and alignment with their own sacredness. The other day, during a conversation with a potential client, I was told: “I know why you are a life coach! Because life is precious and it needs tending.” YES, oh yes!
When I get to sit with an individual as they realize the absolute perfection of their own essence, even while living an imperfect human existence, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude.
This snippet of a poem by Roethke speaks to witnessing the sacred self beautifully:
Near the rose, in this grove of sun-parched,
Among the half-dead trees,
I came upon the true ease of myself,
As if another person appeared out of the depths of my being,
And I stood outside myself,
Beyond becoming and perishing.
A something wholly other,
As if I swayed out on the wildest wave alive,
And yet was still.
And I rejoiced in being what I was.

Super easy and really quick to make! And figs are always so beautiful to combine with their red-dotty pulp! The first time I prepared this tart, I used too little sugar, so I added a second tablespoon and that should give it a perfect sweetness!
See how to prepare here:
1 pack of puff pastry
6 fresh figs
2 tablespoons sugar
200ml liquid cream
100g ground almonds
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (oven set to air circulation).
Butter a baking form, place the puff pastry with sides all the way up.
In a mixing bowl combine eggs, cream, almonds and sugar and pour mix onto the puff pastry.
Wash and pat dry the figs, cut bottom and top off and halve them. Place them cut side up onto the cream-mix. It may seem a little bit too little liquid, but no worries, it will “grow” in the oven.
Place in the oven for approx. 25-30 minutes. Use a wooden skewer to check if the cake is ready – if still doughy, leave in for another bit, if the skewer is dry, its ready.
Serve with vanilla ice-cream or just as is.

When a patient is admitted into hospital they come under the care of an inpatient vet and nurse. The inpatient team will monitor and check on your pet, determine what tests are required, assess the results, and provide any necessary treatment.
Pets are housed individually in their own enclosure, however they are still close to each other. For this reason, we cannot stress enough that all pets should be up-to-date with their vaccinations to reduce the risk of contracting an airborne contagious disease.
All pets are provided with bedding of blankets or towels so they are not on cold, uncomfortable surfaces. They are provided with food and water where appropriate and monitored by our inpatient team of vets and nurses.
Due to our high capacity of inpatients and the heavy use of bedding, we do request that clients do not leave their pets’ favourite blankets or toys with them. All soiled items are laundered, and with so many items being washed, it is difficult to keep track of any favourite personal items and these may go missing.
There are certain diseases in cats and dogs that are highly contagious and can make our pets very sick. Our North Melbourne isolation ward houses pets that are infected with parvovirus or severe cat flu and require hospitalisation.
The isolation ward quarantines the pet so that it cannot infect the other animals within the hospital. Vets and nurses who are looking after these patients must wear protective, disposable clothing when they enter the ward in order to limit the risk of spreading disease.
For this reason, carers should be aware they are not permitted within the ward to interact with their pet and visiting is permitted only via a viewing window.

The Wild Turkey
The difference between desire and longing came to me
in early May walking my daughter to school after seeing
a play the night before about a man who invents the universe.
On our walk, a wild turkey is hanging out in tall purple
garlic flower stalks in the neighbor’s yard and we take pictures,
walk away reluctantly but fast, knowing wild things can get wilder.
When I ask my daughter’s friend Julia to guess what we saw
she answers, “a wild turkey,” and tells us she has seen two
named Richard and Doorknob; so I know desire is a flawless
awareness of pleasures in and out of reach that we go wild for
in a universe where my daughter, purple garlic flowers, Julia and
the wild turkey will die, and longing is my desire for the impossible.

Linda’s Book Obsession Reviews “Cross Her Heart” by Melinda Leigh, Montlake, March 2020
Melinda Leigh, Author of “Cross Her Heart” has written a captivating, compelling, riveting, enthralling, intriguing and intense novel. The Genres for this novel are Suspense, Mystery, Thriller, and Fiction. The timeline for this story is set in the author’s present and goes to the past when it pertains to the characters or events. The author describes her characters as complex, and complicated. There are betrayals, vengeful, dysfunctional and angry characters that are suspect. There are threats, danger, and murder. The author stages this intense novel so that one is sitting at the edge. I appreciate the author’s writing style which vividly describes the characters and setting.
Do you believe that history can repeat itself in certain situations? Bree Taggert was witness to a horrific, and tragic crime twenty five years earlier with the murder-suicide of her parents. Bree helped hide her baby brother and sister. Now, Bree is a homicide detective in Philadelphia, when she gets a call for help from her sister. Bree immediately takes a leave from her job and heads to her sister’s home. Her sister has been killed and the husband is gone. Bree now tries to settle in with her nephew and niece.
Teaming up with local Matt Flynn, a former detective and K-9 trainer, they start to investigate the crumbs and clues that come their way. Little are they aware of the danger that lies ahead in getting the answers to this heartbreaking crime. Bree is determined, and brave and doesn’t easily get intimidated.

London, United Kingdom:
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is self-isolating after somebody he was in touch with examined optimistic for the coronavirus, a spokesman mentioned Sunday.
“He’ll keep it up working from Downing Road, together with on main the Authorities’s response to the coronavirus pandemic,” the Downing Road spokesman added.
His confinement comes as negotiations with the European Union over Brexit enter a decisive ultimate dash, with crucial bulletins being trailed — forward of Johnson’s isolation — by Downing Road to sort out the virus.
The prime minister was knowledgeable that he ought to self-isolate after being contacted by the nation’s Check and Hint scheme.
Johnson was hospitalised with the coronavirus in April. This time round, “the PM is effectively and doesn’t have any signs of Covid-19”, the spokesman mentioned.
A supply added that Johnson, who was severely affected in the course of the earlier bout, feels “good” and that the PM would proceed to work, “particularly to steer the federal government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic”.
Downing Road has not mentioned how lengthy Johnson will probably be in isolation for. Nevertheless, the UK Nationwide Well being Service guidelines state people ought to isolate for 14 days.
The PM intends to handle the nation throughout his confinement, Downing Road mentioned.
The announcement got here after Johnson met a small group of MPs at Downing Road on Thursday for round 35 minutes, together with one who subsequently developed signs of Covid-19 and has now examined optimistic.
Johnson’s self-isolation dangers upsetting a busy week because the UK enters its third week of reimposed restrictions and the PM was attributable to chair a sequence of key Covid-19 conferences.
The renewed stay-at-home restrictions and enterprise closures got here into pressure earlier this month and have been met with scepticism that they will halt the worst demise toll from the virus in Europe.
The UK is meant to be returning to a regionalised strategy — lifting the sweeping lockdown at the moment in place — from December 2.
However the nation stays arduous hit, recording greater than 50,000 deaths linked to the coronavirus from over 1.3 million optimistic circumstances.
Johnson, 56, spent three nights in intensive care when he received Covid-19, later crediting hospital workers with saving his life.
The British chief has mentioned that his coronavirus case was severely worsened by being obese, however that he had since misplaced 26 kilos (12 kilograms).
“I’m going to proceed that food plan, as a result of you have to seek for the hero within your self, within the hope that that particular person is significantly slimmer,” he joked final month.

Drawing a leaf may seem like a daunting task, especially if you’re just starting out. But don’t worry, with some practice and the right techniques, drawing a leaf can be easy! In this article, we’ll take you through the steps to draw a leaf in no time.
Before we get into it though, let’s quickly cover some of the basics about drawing leaves. Leaves come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny ferns to large palm fronds. The most common leaves are shaped like an oval or teardrop, but there are also more complex shapes such as lobes and points. Knowing the shape of your chosen leaf will help you draw it accurately. Also important is understanding how light interacts with your leaf. This is because light helps to create shadows that bring out the texture and details of your leaf.
Now that we have the basics covered, let’s get started on how to draw a leaf easily!
Step 1: Start With The Outline
The first step in drawing a leaf is to sketch its outline using pencil and paper. To do this, start by lightly sketching an oval or teardrop shape depending on the type of leaf you’re drawing. Then add any other details such as veins or lobes as needed. To make sure everything looks realistic, try to keep your lines as curved rather than straight wherever possible. Once you’re happy with your outline, use a darker pencil to trace over it for a bolder finish.
Step 2: Draw Any Details
Once you have your outline drawn, it’s time to add any details such as veins or serrations along the edges of the leaf. Again, use a light touch when sketching these details so they don’t look too harsh or artificial. You may also want to add small dots or lines inside each lobe or point if you wish for more realism.
Step 3: Shade Your Leaf
Shading is an important part of creating realistic-looking drawings and it can also give your leaf added dimensionality. To shade your leaf correctly, first decide where the light source is coming from (e.g., top left). Then use pencil strokes in different directions and intensities to indicate shadows on various parts of the leaf according to how they would naturally fall under the light source you chose. As with any drawing technique, practice makes perfect here too!
Step 4: Add Color And Texture
Finally, color and texture are two key elements which can really bring your drawing of a leaf to life! To do this, decide what colors you want your leaf to be using colored pencils or watercolors (or both!). For example, leaves come in many shades including yellowy greens and dark reds depending on their species so pick colors accordingly! As for texture, lightly brush over areas such as veins and edges with white paint for added realism. And don’t forget about shadows either – adding shadows with darker colors can add depth and drama to your finished piece!
Congratulations – you now know how to draw a leaf easily! With some patience and practice, soon enough you’ll be creating realistic-looking leaves in no time at all. So next time you feel inspired by nature why not pick up some paper and give it go? Who knows – maybe one day even Da Vinci will be jealous of your work!

A multi-wavelength tunable fiber laser based on the use of an Opto-VLSI processor in conjunction with different optical amplifiers is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The Opto-VLSI processor can simultaneously select any part of the gain spectrum from each optical amplifier into its associated fiber ring, leading to a multiport tunable fiber laser source. We experimentally demonstrate a 3-port tunable fiber laser source, where each output wavelength of each port can independently be tuned within the C-band with a wavelength step of about 0.05nm. Experimental results demonstrate a laser linewidth as narrow as 0.05 nm and an optical side-mode-suppression-ratio (SMSR) of about 35 dB. The demonstrated three fiber lasers have excellent stability at room temperature and output power uniformity less than 0.5 dB over the whole C-band.

Hazard to man and the environment posed by the use of urban waste compost : a review.
This review presents the current state of knowledge on the relationship between the environment and the use of municipal waste compost in terms of health risk assessment.
The hazards stem from chemical and microbiological agents whose nature and magnitude depend heavily on the degree of sorting and on the composting methods.
Three main routes of exposure can be determined and are quantified in the literature : (i) The ingestion of soil/compost mixtures by children, mostly in cases of pica, can be a threat because of the amount of lead, chromium, cadmium, PCDD/F and fecal streptococci that can be absorbed. (ii) Though concern about contamination through the food chain is weak when compost is used in agriculture, some authors anticipate accumulation of pollutants after several years of disposal, which might lead to future hazards. (iii) Exposure is also associated with atmospheric dispersion of compost organic dust that convey microorganisms and toxicants.
Data on hazard posed by organic dust from municipal composts to the farmer or the private user is scarce.
To date, microorganisms are only measured at composting plants, thus raising the issue of extrapolation to environmental situations.
Lung damage and allergies may occur because of organic dust, Gram negative bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi.
Further research is needed on the risk related to inhalation of chemical compounds.

In this blog, I’ll discuss the technical and business requirements driving an ‘at the edge of the cloud’ need, and how Azure Stack HCI helps to provide a highly available and resilient solution to drive operational efficiencies and cost savings across hybrid infrastructure. I’ll also share some of the best real-life use cases our team are working on around the country for Azure Stack HCI.
Azure Stack HCI launched in December 2020. The solution takes validated server hardware from leading vendors and combines them with virtualised compute, software-defined storage, and software-defined network technologies proven over many years in Windows Server and Azure.
Azure Stack then integrates with Azure, leveraging Azure Arc, to provide centralised management of cloud and on-premises workloads, with support for backup and migration to the cloud.
Essentially, this gives you an easy-to-deploy on-premises solution, including software-defined storage and networking that can host virtual Windows and Linux servers, SQL, Kubernetes, virtual desktops… Even Azure applications services such as Azure App Service, Functions, Logic Apps, Event Grid, and API Management. You can then centrally manage your resources from Azure and take advantage of hybrid services like Azure Backup, Azure Site Recovery, Update Management, Azure Monitor, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
With wholesale shifts to the cloud, there’s a general acknowledgement that almost all enterprise customers are operating in a hybrid state, and will likely continue to do so for some time. Network limitations, application support and regulatory compliance are all factored into the decision to host applications on-premises. But operating a hybrid infrastructure presents a problem – how can you avoid making the management of workloads across multiple environments complex and costly?
With Azure Stack HCI, of course! It’s a cost-effective solution that delivers Azure Stack as an Azure hybrid service on the HPE GreenLake cloud platform. And it’s no surprise that it has become popular with customers requiring a strategy for workloads running at the edge of the cloud. It promises easy deployment and management – it can be deployed anywhere that edge processing and storage are required, and can be centrally managed alongside your other Azure resources.
It’s also vendor-driven. For example, at HPE Discover 2022, many conversations centred around HPE GreenLake and the appeal of ‘aaS in the private cloud, as opposed to the traditional CAPEX model (editor’s note: more on that further in this discussion).
Here are two real-life examples of Azure Stack HCI edge solutions addressing network connectivity, data processing at the edge and performance concerns.
A great example of Azure Stack HCI being used in life-changing situations is in the medical field. For example, we are currently working with a medical emergency services organisation. They are looking to deploy Azure Stack HCI units on patient transport vehicles to host patient medical information when out of service range, or in close proximity to a 5G or Wi-Fi tower. For this project, we are developing a disconnected scenario where the Azure Stack HCI unit is connected into Azure’s 5G Edge Service, which can then replicate data to the unit.
Major manufacturers also fit well into these branch/remote location scenarios where equipment requires onsite compute services. For example, retail and fast food franchise locations typically have some form of compute running at every outlet to support local point of sales equipment, security cameras, or IoT devices. Azure Stack can provide a cost-competitive yet highly available solution for a branch office with just two nodes. Not only that, but it can also be configured as switchless by running ethernet between the two nodes.
Let’s say a customer is running completely on-premises, with an on-premises VMware solution in place. Their data centre renewal is coming up, so they’re looking to purchase a range of hardware. In this purchase, they need to factor in about 20% of the cost of compute and storage to protect their infrastructure with virtual machines for patching servers – antivirus monitoring, backups etc. Things can get very costly, very quickly. Often, these management toolsets are different from those used in the cloud, resulting in additional software and resourcing costs.
A business that uses Azure Stack HCI, or Azure in a mature hybrid model, has the opportunity to wipe away some of that additional expense. They can leverage services already in Azure that natively manage and protect the infrastructure. This is clearly cost-efficient. At the same time, they are also minimising the environmental impact because they are utilising less power than in an on-premises data centre. Azure’s data centres are much more energy efficient, using significantly more renewable energy than other providers. So, in this example, moving to the Azure Stack HCI model is cost and operationally efficient. It also sets them up on a good path for consuming other platform services in Azure. And as the Azure Periodic Table shows – there is almost no end to what you can do in Azure!
As organisations move towards a hybrid cloud architecture to leverage real-time data, and meet their user’s expectations for lightning-fast services, it can make sense to deploy HCI at the edge instead of backhauling the data to a central data centre. It’s also relatively simple for Azure customers to integrate Azure Stack HCI into an existing architecture because of a unified toolset available to IT operations.
Customers might start by adding Azure Stack HCI to their on-premises equipment. This provides a way to host infrastructure on Azure and on-premises – whilst retaining control of these services. This also allows you to host services on-premises where they need to be close to other infrastructure or people. Straight out of the box, you can configure Azure Backup, Azure Site Recovery, Update Management, Azure Monitor, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
With Azure Stack HCI, organisations don’t need specialist skills. If your support team understands the Windows operating system and fundamentals of Azure management then you have all you need. And if you do need help, if combined with GreenLake, your local HPE specialists will be able to lend assistance.
HPE GreenLake has been made available for Azure Stack HCI to simplify hybrid services by bringing cloud-based management to on-premises resources. Traditionally, a company using Azure Stack HCI also required hardware to run it, which means they are responsible for the hardware. But when it’s in the cloud, the vendor takes care of that management, and that’s how HPE GreenLake works. The HPE team look after the hardware for you, including deployment – so, it’s a cloud-like experience for your on-premises hardware under a SaaS agreement. This combination gives you the light management touch and scalability you would expect from a cloud service, except on-premises.
The convergence of these solutions also includes a single pane of glass for viewing your billing. Customers can access their GreenLake portal – which comes with their subscription – to access information on their Azure billing, such as the cost of their onsite and off-site infrastructure. This supports your ability to better manage infrastructure from the cradle to the grave.
At Data#3, our team of solution specialists have the skills, certifications, hardware expertise, HPE certifications and Azure experience. With Data#3 managing the deployment process, you’ll ensure consistency and coherence across both cloud and on-premises.
Anything maintenance related, such as ensuring hardware and firmware are kept up to date, is managed by the HPE team. In addition, data #3 assist with higher-level requirements such as managing and configuring the overall Azure Stack HCI and HPE GreenLake services.
To learn more about Azure Stack HCI, and how HPE GreenLake’s on-premises, consumption-based IT service can give you more control over cost and performance, book an assessment workshop with Data#3 today.
Data#3 holds the most advanced specialisations and partner award status with both Microsoft and HPE and is well positioned to partner with you on your digital transformation journey.

Love is fun & colorful.
Your wedding photos should be too.
LOVEBIRDS!!! Look at these two beautiful humans! This was an elegant southern wedding and the bride and groom were the most gracious southern hosts. Here are some of my favorite photos from Annalise and Stephen’s wedding day.
I love the arches at the St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Kinston! We ended up doing a lot of the group formals with this pretty courtyard as the backdrop.
Look at these ladies getting ready. Matching silk robes! Popping champagne! Doing their makeup! And the end result was so elegant. The pale green bridesmaids dresses were a great color and truly flattered each pretty lady.
This next one is one of my favorite pictures I’ve ever taken. Annalise’s mom was doing everything she could to keep from crying (tears of joy obviously) – that’s real wedding emotion. Sniffle.
Over on the gents’ side of the church, there was plenty of advice and prayer. Stephen is one of five boys, so about half those groomsmen are his brothers. (Annalise meanwhile has three sisters, so this was definitely a family affair!)
The pair had a lovely ceremony inside this striking sanctuary at St. Mary’s.
Bogue stopped by to greet the newlyweds before they headed to the reception! You remember Bogue from their engagement session right?
And on to the reception at Kinston Country Club, where the decor was elegant, the food delicious, and the dancing superb.
After the last dance, time for an elegant exit!
That’s a wrap on this elegant southern wedding. John and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to spend the day with them. Check out some of the other great vendors who helped below.

Chaintech Release Apogee GT Memory Modules
Chaintech are probably a name more synonmous with graphics cards for most of you (I know they are for me), though they also produce memory modules (a market that is hardly lacking in competition). The company's new Apogee GT modules feture both NVIDIA EPP and Intel XMP profiles, which should take some of the pain out of overclocking if you pair them up with a board with a recent chipset from either. The modules come in both DDR2 and DDR3 flavours, with the prior managing timings of 5-5-5-15 @ DDR2-1150 with 2.1v (on the 680i chipset) and the DDR3-2000 modules running timings of 9-9-9-27 with 2.1v. Chaintech put the Apogee GT modules through a high temperature burn in test to ensure they meet specifications. Priding and availability aren't mentioned.

Virgil Abloh is anything but conventional, and his new collaboration with Nike for his takes on the classic Blazer Low colorway proves this. The jury remains divided about his iterations of the Blazer Low. The Off-White CEO has completely transformed the shoe, giving it an all-new futuristic look.
Following in the footsteps of its black rendition, the white features similar elements such as two circular incisions and a second lace unit, seemingly inspired by mountaineering. The other bright yellow lace unit strings through the pair, popping against the red on the Swoosh and heel tab, providing contrast. On the other hand, the leather construction, nylon tongue, and lining are all seen in the base white hue, which seems to compliment the yellow sole, which is allegedly modified to resemble the Terra Humara.

Your desk, scientists reported recently, is trying to kill you.Read the rest.
According to the New York Times, scientists discovered that when we sit all day, "electrical activity in the muscles drops… leading to a cascade of harmful metabolic effects," and sadly even getting regular doses of exercise doesn't offset the damage. But now there's new evidence of the harm of sitting. Not only is it making you fatter, it might also be making you dumber.

The hard D&B and neurofunk producer from Toulouse, France sort of exploded onto the scene in 2015/2016, quickly earning stripes with Eatbrain and other labels like Mindtech, Neurofunkgrid and Noisia’s Invisible imprint. It seemed for a while in 2016 and 2017 that every other track on the Noisia Radio podcast was a Redpill track, and that’s always a good sign.
The Redpill juggernaut has only picked up steam since those early days, with his unique brand of angry, metal-inspired synths and funky basslines gracing Eatbrain, Bad Taste, Invisible, Blackout and Maztek’s 0101 imprint in 2018 alone. Going into 2019 Redpill doesn’t seem to be slowing down either, with more projects and collabs due out and some huge dates booked.
We thought it was high time to have a sit-down with the French grindmaster as his new Lunch Time EP just released on Eatbrain and the requisite Eatbrain Podcast hit Soundcloud today. It’s fitting on Black Friday, since Redpill’s beats on this EP are so dark and techy. Besides, on the biggest shopping day of the year, everyone could use a ‘Lunch Time’ break.
How did you get into producing drum & bass?
It was around eight years ago, I was playing bass guitar in a French Funk/rock/Electro band called Junkofunk. It was really nice working with them as they were pretty good musicians and friends. Several members of the band were into drum & and bass and they introduced me to it. First listen was Pendulum’s Hold Your Colour album and it was a game changer for me. I immediately started to produce using Reason4, as a hobby at first. I realized later, after around three years of production, that it could turn to a full time job which is what I am doing now.
How did you originally hook up with Eatbrain?
First contact I had with Eatbrain was under my previous alias Bl4ck Owlz. We sent Jade some demos and finally released the Face Scraper EP with a The Clamps collab a bit later. It was the very first Eatbrain EP I worked on. Several other EPs followed under the Redpill alias: Corruption, Call Of The Warchief, and todays Lunch Time. Oddly enough, I only just met Jade for real last year at Balaton Sound summer festival, Budapest.
You’ve released on a lot of huge labels since the Corruption EP: Blackout, Invisible, 0101, et cetera. What made you want to release the Lunch Time EP with Eatbrain?
I have very good relationship with Jade and the Eatbrain crew, they are very kind and professional. We see each other quite often on tour and we were both happy with the idea to work on a new EP. I sent Jade several demo packs as usual and we ended with this selection.
I think the main tune “Lunch Time” fit quite well with the Eatbrain sound signature, with his creepy sounds and his raw and wild energy. The other tunes may bring a sound more unusual on the label such as “Boom Boom” or “And The Hero Will Fall” but adding variety to the EP was the idea. “Children of Chaos” collab with Merikan and “Fusion” bring some additional angry bangers.
Your style seems to be on the darker/heavier end of D&B. What do you think attracts you to dark or techier D&B and neurofunk?
I have been listening various music genre before listening drum & bass such as rock, funk, jazz and metal. I think I can find all this in neurofunk, but in a futuristic and creative new approach. I have been playing funk bass for years and groove is very important to me, that’s why I often prefer balancing syncopated rhythms over flat rollers. That’s quite difficult to give tunes groove while hard limiting and flattening the master heavily, but the result worth it for me. The second drop of “Boom Boom” with triplets is probably the most funky part of the EP.
How did you hook up with Merikan on “Children of Chaos”?
We have been sharing quite a lot of stages past two years. We took advantage of a booking in my hometown Toulouse, France to make a session at my studio. We started the tune sketch there and finished it online later. Working together was great and we are talking of starting a new one soon. Big up to the Jump’n’Bass promoter crew for giving us this opportunity!
Did you have a theme in mind for these tracks before you came up with the EP title? What was the theme as you see it?
The whole EP concept is built around these munchy crunchy vocals from ‘Lunch Time.’ I think they fit great with the Eatbrain concept itself, like a hungry brain-eating monster with a dose of humor. I don’t like when the tunes goes too serious and pretentious (Laughs). The cover designers Trinyó and Art Gutierrez did an awesome job linking all this together.
A couple of musical themes that seem to be present in all the tracks on Lunch Time are that the beats and snares are syncopated in an unexpected way but the synths are almost all quite melodic and almost classical/metal. How did you balance those two things and still come up with what you felt were complete tracks?
I often try to develop musical themes in tracks but there is no room for melodies and harmonies in the drops so the musicality is often carried by intros and breaks. That’s great when the drop is done like an extension of the intro theme, like in “And the Hero Will Fall.” The overall tune becomes more relevant and tells a story. Finding the good balance between music and drop blast is not easy.
Speaking of the synth melodies, many of them both seem to be influenced by classical music or metal guitar riffs but are also techy enough to hearken back to early techstep and neurofunk. Which of all those things would you say you’re most influenced by and what was the end goal for you in terms of sound?
I have been playing metal guitar a lot and I really love to transform all these riffs and chords progressions I learnt into synth melodies. I especially like when they sound dark and epic! Inspiration can be found in everything in everyday life.
Any upcoming releases this winter that you can talk about at this point?
I made a collab with Fourward, which will be released on their new Torn Place EP on Eatbrain soon. Also I am part of a big compilation project on Cause 4 Concern and I have a metal D&B remix for Zardonic and Joanna Syze to come on her LP on Othercide. That’s was a great opportunity to re-use my seven string guitar and record heavy riffs. I am working on new bigger projects with Blackout for 2019 including remixes and collabs.
Any plans to tour this winter or next year? Any plans to come to the US?
I will be playing this winter in Paris for New Year Eve, new dates in Holland and UK are planned too. I am glad to be able to say that I am already booked for Let It Roll summer 2019 and I am also excited that Blackout booked me for their February 2019 Blackout XL at TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht. I look forward for this one, it will be one of the biggest room I ever played! As for the U.S., I am in contact with US booking agencies, we are waiting for the good moment!
Since Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming up, do you have your eye on any audio equipment or software sales?
I do a lot of window shopping but I have not bought any new gear in several years. I am really happy with my current workflow and set up and I don’t think I’ve done it all already. I try to restrain myself a bit and keep money for non music investments at the moment. Developing a pleasing family life besides drum & bass is important for me.
Any other fun holiday traditions that you and your family celebrate?
It’s a tradition in my family to eat cooked snails when we all eat together. My grandfather “hunts” them himself and prepares them with his very secret persillade recipe (with parsley and garlic). It takes months to prepare them from harvesting to refining, he is an artist! Everybody loves it in the family, we eat such meal one or two times a year, but it’s always so delicious!
