So here's the deal. We had an old industrial building in our company and I just decided I was tired of working in my small workshop. So we just decided to buy some equipment and kind of go big time here. So I have to change my name now to the big workshop guy. So this is our PCS cabinet saw stop. We have our second saw stop so we can keep dado blades on it while we keep our regular blades on the other one. Here we have a number of other devices. Those are sanders, big belt sanders. Moving on down the line you can see the size of our dust collection system that we put in the back. And while we're not getting good focus here's our Powermatic band saws. I like to keep two different blades on them so I have two of them. So I don't have to stop and change the blades. One of our work tables, a few of our clamps. Second work table, nice metal storage with locking cabinets underneath. A jet drill press, battery chargers that we've got all going. Let's move around to the other part of the workshop. We have a cabinet for my drills and sanders and routers. Those are all clothes. I find it useful to have my aprons hanging up. And then a little clamp storage on the inside of the door. I've got some more clamps over here on a movable rack so I can move it around the shop. I've got my different wood vices. Then we get over into the lathe section. So we've got a number of our carving tools all up on the wall. I just got this set up so if my grandson comes in they can have their own lathe. So as you can see these are pretty good sized lathes. Again, dust collection system. Dust collection system goes up and over and then goes to different parts of our workshop. You can see it becomes quite an octopus of the aluminum. Then one of our compound miter saws. Another one of our work benches. We have room for it so we have our compound miter saws on really nice cabinets with wheels. So they can be rolled wherever we need them and give us access even out. We've got a couple different blades so we just have two compound miter saws with different blades on them. That way we'll have stop and change out the blades. Really nice joint here. I'm very pleased with it. You can see the mechanism behind it in order to shut down the width. Then we have our thickness planer over here. Dust collection wise, as you know, thickness planers are a problem so that's all connected. We bought so much stuff from Powermatic that they have given us a little banner to put up in our workshop. So here we've got our new CNC router with our vacuum table. Boy, that vacuum is strong. Anyway, we're really enjoying doing that. I didn't have room for that in my small workshop. We've got our JET 2244 oscillating drum sander. You can see the quality of the adjusting device for adjusting the height. Another one of our sanders. Then of course you have to have a spindle sander and then we have our belt sander. This is my new drill press. It's a JET. I acquired it just last week. We've got our router table all with the lifting router in it. Connected to the dust collection system. And this is my new metal working lathe I picked it up and used just last week. One of several shop backs. This is what I wanted to do. So I got tired of sanding so I bought this sand blaster instead.  So beat the heck out of sanding.


Item Number SCP-3949 Object Class, Neutralized Special Containment Procedures Foundation web crawler IONYSE is to monitor for posts mentioning Penumbra Wave or its characters. Any flag posts are to be immediately reported to Mobile Task Force Omicron 5 true fans. MTF Omicron 5 is to determine if these posts originated from SCP-3949 and, if so, to respond to these posts until the SCP-3949 instance deletes itself. In the description, SCP-3949 denotes a series of accounts presumably all created by a single entity located on various social media websites, forums, and message boards. All of SCP-3949's posts center around the non-existent animated series Penumbra Wave or the fan community supposedly surrounding it. However, researchers have managed to extrapolate information about Penumbra Wave through SCP-3949's posts. According to these extrapolations, Penumbra Wave is in the sci-fi genre and had four seasons before going on indefinite hiatus. In-depth information can be found in Supplementary File 3949-R238. Attempts to trace the origin of SCP-3949 have so far proven unsuccessful. Approximately 2% of people who view SCP-3949's posts will become convinced that Penumbra Wave exists and that they have watched at least one episode of it. SCP-3949 has a very timid temperament and generally does not respond positively to negative comments or responses to its posts. In most cases, SCP-3949 will respond a few times with attempts to induce guilt in the responder before deleting itself in all its posts entirely. After this, SCP-3949 will reappear under a new username after a variable period ranging from 9 to 72 days. After Incident 3949-119, SCP-3949 has not created any new accounts. After one year of inactivity, SCP-3949 was reclassified, neutralized. Incident Number 014 Post-Content, a digital artwork created by SCP-3949 depicting two characters, Iridium and Tbil in Bracing. MTF Response, several comments noting the discrepancy in Iridium's skin color between the artwork, light brown, and the show, Dark Purple. Incident Number 057, Post-Content, a reposted fan fiction by the user ImaPorpus119. Work is 18 chapters long and primarily centers on an alternate ending into Season 2 where the Kurrong Army never reached the McCarrion Citadel, with a romantic subplot between two minor characters. MTF Response, comments critiquing the overall grammar, dialogue, extreme mischaracterization of King Iqaj, as well as several statements that the two romantic leads of the work have never shared screen time in the show. Incident Number 066 Post-Content, a reposted, uncredited artwork depicting one character wielding the Storm Sword and standing over a defeated foe. MTF Response, several extensive comments analyzing previous fight scenes and statistics, ultimately concluding that the losing character would have easily defeated the other and that the winning character would be incapable of wielding the Storm Sword in the first place. Incident Number 089, Post-Content, a video overlaying a non-existent song My Angel by Firefly over a series of short clips of a climatic sword battle during Season 1 Episode 9. MTF Response, several comments criticizing the choice of song and suggesting that scenes from later seasons would have been more visually appealing. Incident Number 119, Post-Content, a long 10,000 word post describing SCP-3949's personal life experienced while watching the show and how the show has affected SCP-3949's life.

what's going on guys it's your boy dpj here today one of a destiny video and today I want to talk about Destiny's PvP as a whole and what could be one of the reasons it gets worse and worse with every single update but before we get into the video if you guys do enjoy leaving a like is much appreciated it really is okay so Destiny's PvP is basically a bag of shit I'm not gonna like you guys I'm not gonna hold back but because we love the game enough to continue playing it we wait on that next patch hoping it will sort the shit we are used to out now my idea which in my opinion couldn't make things any worse than what they already are is something they won't ever put into Destiny 1 as much as I'd love to see but it's something they could consider for Destiny 2's PvP or hopefully something they're working towards or working kind of like a system around it now I ate big in the Destiny community for being good at PvP unless it's my PvP what the fuck montage I put out here and there I'm in fact probably near the bottom of the list when it comes to looking for PvP guidance for you guys which is fair enough because I suck at PvP but even so even a noob like me I can see that there's a major issue with PvP and that's with the entire defaults of balancing of weapons now this 100% I know not everyone will agree with and that is fine but this in my opinion fix would change PvP dramatically weapon balancing wise and in honesty should be the way PvP is if you truly sit there and think about it okay so we all agree that Bungie broke the game even more every time they drop a patch of some sort this patch normally consists of nerfing a certain weapon type and buffing another they knew they saw people change up their game for instance I guarantee a patch will come sooner or later which nerfs the fast-fire and archetype of force rifles that being a clever dragon kind and also nerfing shotguns somehow I'll probably guess at the same time they were both of a weapon archetypes so people start switching up the game but and this is a big but we have learned that this does nothing but direct people to another weapon which they think all works well with the meta this gets around and everyone starts using the same weapon or class setup this in turn makes everybody mourn about that very weapon and its archetype and that archetype gets nerfed and Bungie buffs another weapon archetype and it happens all over again a prime example of this is shotguns shotguns are now as bad as they've ever been ruling PvP in every instance you guys remember shot package a perk removed from the game due to people complaining about it and right you saw it was stupid when it was removed shotguns received a nerf at the same time and snipers become a massive part of the meta people then complain snipers were a big pain in the ass and a patch was dropped which seems to basically totally eliminate snipers and then they both shut them at the same time to a point of them being basically out of control once a game most of the story is Bungie nerfing a certain kind of weapon time and buffing another kind clearly does not work no matter what they seem to do it does nothing but break the game even further this doesn't benefit anybody now the idea I have like I said no way will ever be incorporated into destiny one due to probably being too much of a big job not impossible but I doubt Bungie want to work on two titles at the same time not on the scale anyway as it is kind of like a clean sheet with that balancing of weapons but this is something I would love to see incorporated into destiny to I believe this is something that should have been the way weapons worked from the very start of destiny one and the idea is simple no perfect Lord weapons or God Lord weapons as a lot of people say now hear me out before you start screaming in that comments section weapons like the clever dragon and the grasp of Malak with their time to kill being one of the fastest in the game should not have a major stability perks like counterbalance press frame or hand laid stock a weapon like this shoots insanely quick and this should penalize the user by not having laser beam accuracy I ain't saying take away all stability perks but for a weapon like this the user should need a skilled hand to control the recoil instead of having perks that do it for them and making it way too easy it's as simple as pulling one trigger and pulling another trigger nothing else now there are other issues with this weapon type which I could go on about all day long which do need sorting one point is the fact that they can still outrange scout rifles in 99% of gun battles due to the way this game is it's another basic which does need to sort it out in reality things as simple as that but to be honest that's a whole of a video and carrying on from a point about no perfect world weapons weapons like a macho dog a conspiracy theories shouldn't have major range perks if you choose to use a weapon with max impact range should come at a cost and for damn sure full auto should not be on a shotgun this powerful it needs taking away the whole point of a shotgun being that powerful should penalize the user if they miss a shot not having a chance to recover from a miss shot would make people think twice about abusing it and cannons like the I.S. Luna the Panadromes shouldn't have luck in the chamber now I know this will be a sore subject and people will disagree with me on it that's because they love hand cannons with looking at chamber which is fair enough but look at a chamber is way too OP to be putting on a three-shot kill hand cannon dropping it to a two-shot kill and in my opinion maybe should be a perk on hand cannons with very much bigger clip size less impact and a quicker fire rate or taking out the hand cannon perch we all together and left on scout rifles as let's face it it's way too easy to two-shot the much better player using what should be a better weapon at a range you are fighting at then it should be the problem I think Bungie have is they weren't too much about kill time now kill time is obviously everything in this game is pvp the faster you kill the better looks like Bungie are trying the hardest to match off a weapons kill time to that of the fastest in the game not thinking about how it affects other weapons they leave out leaving out a whole host of weapons which no one ever uses instead of trying to match time to cure time by buffing and nerfing weapons why not just put in place the certain defaults I talk about for sure a weapon like the clever dragon could kill you in under a second I ain't saying change that I'm saying take out the ability for someone to do it across the damn map taking out a major stability perk like counterbalance on this type of pulse rifle would eliminate this to a major degree and it would take a lot more effort from the Guardian using this weapon to hit such a kill and I know there's a lot further than perks we have aim assist the range all that comes into account it still needs to be stripped down to the basics and refigured and hopefully do that with number two now know a lot of people are still wondering why I would say take out the perfect road weapons what I'm trying to get is the only soul to speak guard road weapons in this game should be exotics if you want a hand cannon with lock in the chamber use the Hawk moon it's because of weapon patches to try and fix this shit it has led to exotics being while not really exotic the exotic weapons in this game are all legendary the only weapons which should be really in theory challenging each other are exotics exotics should be the base of a weapon setup certain exotics using certain setups for certain styles of play attacking defensive neutral etc etc I think bungee do a good job on this with exotic armor pieces so why is this whole weapon armor and balancing of the weapons completely broke it's kind of like they've gone too far into it and can't revert back now don't get me wrong I ain't saying break every legendary weapon in the game just take away certain aspects of the gun or that arc type of weapon which is making them say what people think is OP exotic weapons should be exotic legend they should be below par on what we get on exotics like I said it's way too late to incorporate such a system one I think bungee originally wanted in place and somewhere down the line things got out of control and that's just a pile of mess but I do think it's something they could work towards I hope they are working on with destiny 2 the problem is for this to work in destiny 1 they would need to be basically an exotic of every archetype of weapon but getting further into it for example let's take a few legend those from this game and pretend they're exotic let's use the clever dragon the paring drum the matador and the longbow these are now all exotic weapons let's say they all have what is considered the guard role let's also pretend that the perks on these weapons which make it that guard role can't be found on legend those in the game which you would pair these weapons up with it would eliminate setups like the clever dragon and matador the paring drum and the longbow etc etc and it would indeed make people choose wisely about their class setups and my opinion is a way more balanced way PvP could play out people 99% of the time will now use the same class for all modes of PvP if you use the same class for control and clash there's no doubt that there is a balancing issue it's as simple as that and this way as well if one exotic was considered overpowered they could know that one exotic instead of a whole archetype of weapons leaving the majority of that weapon archetype can see the garbage and left on the shelf it would make things way easier for themselves in the long run this kind of system in my opinion needs to be introduced into destiny 2 or something that is similar I feel PvP may fall the same way within destiny 2 which I guarantee none of us once now I know this kind of system would take basically a whole new rebalance of many many perks and it's why I say a system like this won't come to destiny one hopefully though like I just said destiny 2 they get it right but guys tell me your thoughts in that comment section hope you guys enjoyed the video thanks as always for stopping by and I'll catch you guys on that next one


Can you explain the concept for everyone of EST? EST, so EST, I call myself the EST of WWE. That means that I am the strong Est, the fast Est, the roughest, the toughest, the quickest, the greatest, the best, the best EST. Anything good that ends in EST, that's what I am. And I'm all about striving to be the best version of myself. So that's where EST comes from. All right, we're gonna jump right in. Can you tell me how the world went in 2021, 2022?  I mean, how have you handled all of this? You know, being in WWE, everything comes so fast, and you never know when it comes. My model is stay ready so you don't have to get ready, because you never know when your opportunity comes. My opportunity came out of nowhere last year, winning the Royal Rumble, then going to main event WrestleMania with Sasha Banks, being the first two Black females to ever main event WrestleMania, walking out of SmackDown as champion. Like you said, winning Survivor Series, and winning Elimination Chamber, and now I'm going into WrestleMania 38 with another opportunity to become champion again. Again, by facing Becky Lynch, I'm going for the Royal Miss Championship. So it's been a whirlwind, but I'm taking it as it comes, and I'm just capitalizing off all these opportunities. And I love the way that you're soaking it in as well. I was reliving the clips of you at WrestleMania, all female African-American main event at WrestleMania, and we saw the emotions before the match got started. Can you just take us through your emotions that day? Yeah, that day, just being one of the women alongside with Sasha Banks, main event in WrestleMania, unprecedented moment, first time the two Black females are main event in WrestleMania. You talk about getting to the main event of WrestleMania. You talk about just getting to WrestleMania, and all of a sudden we were there. And anytime that anyone gives you advice about WrestleMania, number one thing they always say is, just slow down and soak it in because you just soak it in. And so I'm so glad that we took that moment in the beginning, and without us even having to open our mouths or touch each other, just standing there in that moment, it was so powerful.  If you go and you watch that, the first 30 seconds of the match of us just standing there, I almost lost it. I was in tears before the match even started because the moment was so powerful. And to know that all the women that came before us, they laid that foundation for us to be able to walk through those doors and for Sasha Banks not to be in that moment and make history. And that moment was bigger than me. It was bigger than Sasha. It was bigger than women winning the Smackdown match championship. It was just a huge moment, and it's going to inspire people now and in the future. And we even won an SP off of that match, that moment. So it was everything. That's mind blowing, winning an SP off of that. And you were just doing a great job of highlighting it right there. What does representation mean to you? When you think about your journey and what you now represent, what does representation mean to you? Yeah, you know, I always say, I always use the quote, representation is not a request, it's a requirement. It really is. You know, I think about the role models that were representation for me growing up and how they changed the whole trajectory of my life, like I am where I am now because of them, because they showed me what was possible for me. And I always force to that if you want to do something and you don't see someone doing that, you become that person so that other people can walk through the door that you open that you create. You know, representation, it really just shows people, you know, you're able to look at someone that looks like you and see them doing these things.  It shows you the limits or the glass lens that you can break. It really is an example of the things that you can do and how you're presented and where you're placed in this society. So I think representation is important in all areas, right, because there should be diversity and equity everywhere. So for me, representation, I just want to represent for women, for women of color.  That's representation there showing that you don't always start from the top. You start, sometimes you start from the bottom, the middle, no matter where you start from, you can succeed into whatever it is that you want to do. Maybe you're crushing it and inspiring so different people. Well, let's talk about music for a moment. I love music, talk music on the show. And it's a part of somebody's people's lives no matter what you do. But I love talking about it with athletes and guys and gals before a big event, game, match, whatever it may be, listening to something to pump them up or smooth things out. So I'm curious, what's on your playlist? My playlist is so, I guess diverse, but I'm a huge J. Cole fan. I mean, I mean, my finish is called the K of D, which is one of my favorite songs from J. Cole or No World Models or Love Yours. I'm a huge Beyonce fan. School in life, they just get like, that's like one of the best songs to work out to. I'm a huge Megan Stallion fan. I also listen to gospel music like Kurt Franklin. Like that just gets me so pumped up for just workouts. Like I listen to gospel music a lot, perfect a lot when I'm working out because I'd be going through it. And I'd be like, I need something to push me through. Just keep me in a good mood. So those are really like my main go-tos for working out.  You got something for every move. I love Kara Wack too.  I've been on a big J. Cole mode for about a month now. So I've been rocking a lot. Let's do a lot of J. Cole. And it's funny, the connection and the crossover between hip hop and WWE. We've seen Snoop make numerous WWE appearances. You performed that rolling loud. Like what do you think about this connection between hip hop and WWE? Music is such a huge part of WWE. Even from my interest in music and our theme music, that's the first thing that people, they hear our music before they even see us.  We just had Migos at day one in Atlanta that actually they were out there with my husband who's one half of the street profits when they were facing R.K. Bro. I got to meet Meg Dostalion last year. We went to rolling loud. So it's always been a huge part of WWE. But for me specifically, rap and hip hop, that's been a part of my life since I was born. Like I was born into, you know, it's part of my culture. And that's what we listen to in my community. So to have both of my worlds now colliding together even more and integrating more, it means everything to me.  And then we found out, wait, you're not just going, you're performing on the same stage as some of your favorite artists. So it was, it was real dope. And I just hope we can keep doing more collaboration because anytime that both of my worlds collide, I feel right at home no matter what I'm doing. So it's cool. Now you've shown like amazing impressions. Yes, indeed. Feets of athleticism in the ring. And we know the fans love it. But I'm just curious, what's the reaction to the locker room? There's someone below.   And it's like, it's just the true definition of women empowerment. So whenever I'm out there pressing girls over my head, one arm pressing girls or picking up Otis, who's the 300, 400 pound guy on the roster, they're always cheering when I come backstage. And they're very encouraging. I even bring up, we were in Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel. And I usually do a two arm press to girls. And it was a moment where I was like, okay, maybe I could do this one arm press, but I'm really nervous about doing it. And Sasha Banks was the main person was like, uh-uh. No, if you don't do the one arm press, then just don't do it. Like, no, go do it. Like they are, they're so encouraging. But also I feel like I dig myself in a hole too, because now I feel like I do so many like feats of strength that they think I can do everything. Sometimes it's like certain ideas. I'm like, okay, y'all think I'm somebody I'm not. I can't do that now. But it's cool how they have like so much faith in me. Of faith in you. Now the long braid, we see the long braid there. It's for the staple of your character. Since you entered WWE, you used it as a weapon. We've seen numerous times and it's been used against you. What made you, how the idea come about that the braid, your hair, using your hair as a part of your persona? Yeah, so at first it was just something that was a signature look. It made me stand out. My husband was one of the main people who is Montez Ford. He's one half the attack team, street profits. He was one of the main people that was like, no, you need to wear the braid because it makes you stand out. And that's what makes you unique. And he was like, if anybody comes to a show for the first time, even if they don't remember your name, they're going to remember the girl with the braid. So that's the best way to stand out and be unique. So it just started out as a signature look. But then the first thing that girls would want to do in the ring was pull my hair and touch my hair. And I'm just like, don't touch my hair. Like that's my rule. So I was like, I have to do something to get them to stop going to my hair. And so in a match, I threw it at a girl, a hitter, it made this huge noise. The crowd went crazy and it took her down. I was able to capitalize off of it. So that was when I first learned that I could use it. So I do use my hair as a weapon, but only when it's absolutely necessary, when they don't follow my rule, which is do not touch my hair. Solange knows right there. Solange, let's go back in time for a minute, Bianca. Obviously very athletic. Give us the background on where things started from you and as an athlete and how that led you to WWE. Yeah, my journey to WWE is a little unique. I did not watch wrestling a whole lot growing up. I wasn't a kid that was striving to be a WWE superstar one day. I was the little girl who was climbing trees in her front yard. So my mom and my daddy put me in gymnastics and tracking every sport in the book because I was just very active. I started running track at the age of five, gymnastics at the age of five and then played basketball cheerleading. But my main sport was track and field. I went and ran collegiate track and field at University of South Carolina, Texas A&M, and then University of Tennessee. So I went all over the place, but I was an all SEC hurdler. And then after track, I really had been an athlete my whole life. So I missed that competitive atmosphere. And so I found CrossFit and that's when I really, sorry, like lifting weights and really embracing my muscles and really falling in love with my body. And during CrossFit, I would wear like these big bows and tutus and sequence outfits. And I made my own outfits, so I really stood out and I would grab the microphone and talk to the audience.  And so he said he can get me a tryout, but he couldn't get them to hire me. It took me two tryouts and I started in WWE in 2016 and it's just crazy because I never imagined myself being a WWE superstar, but now I can't imagine myself doing anything other than what I'm doing now. And I feel like I was born to do this. I'm walking in my purpose. So it's an amazing feeling when you feel like you're, you finally found your purpose and you're doing it. And that's what I'm doing right now. That's unbelievable. Did you think it was a joke when Mark Henry brings up, you're like, hey, should be a WWE? Well, for one, I thought it was a fake account when Mark Henry started commenting on my photos and was popping up in my DMs. And I was like, that's fake. And my nephew was the one that was like, yo, Mark Henry just commented on your page. I'm like, it's fake.  What are you saying? And in my DMs, he was just saying, you know, he saw a video of me, he had faith in me and he wanted to give me a tryout. So once I realized it was the real Mark Henry, I was like, okay, this is the real deal. I love it. All right, on a serious note, I think this is important. You've been very open about mental health and about eating disorder previous to your time at WWE and revealing that part of yourself. Why did you feel like that was important?  And I just felt like it wasn't telling my truth if I left that part out because that's a part of who I am, especially right now. And I will say, and in the moment when I was going through it, yes, I felt very embarrassed and vulnerable and would not have shared it then. But I felt like, okay, I'm not going through this anymore. I've gone through it. So I need to share this. And I know what it felt like in that moment to feel alone and feel misunderstood. And so I just, I felt like I owed it to my younger self and I owed it to the people that were going through it as well to share that and to help anybody else that was going through it and to kind of just normalize talking about it and then not being this high stress situation of feeling like you have to open up and just, I just wanted to be comfortable with it. Look, I'm talking about it and it's fine to talk about it because you have to talk about it first and be vulnerable before you can get help. And so that was really just the reason why I just opened up about it and felt more comfortable doing it since I had, you know, I'm still going through this. It's a journey. You know, I just know my trigger is I'm able to manage it better and but it was really just about, I feel like I owed it to my younger self and to my parents and the people that helped me through it and to the people that are going through it now as well. Inspiring a lot of people. How, real quick, how therapeutic was that for you? It was so therapeutic. Just being able to just open up and talk about it and be vulnerable all over again. I feel like in that moment, you know, going through it, I learned so much about myself but in the moment of opening up and talking about it, I learned even more about myself and I evolved and grew even more by just opening up. And it just felt like this huge weight off of my shoulders of just being open and honest and vulnerable. And I'm always in the ring talking about being unapologetically me and presenting myself as a whole. So I felt like I can't preach this in the ring and not do it outside the ring. So this is me. I'm being unapologetically me. This is a part of my story and I'm going to be comfortable with that. A switch gears for a moment now. You mentioned a few times Montez for your husband. Tell me the first day you two met. We actually, my husband, we actually met in NXT in WWE. I remember I saw him for a brief moment when I first got there. And then I didn't see him again for another three months. And it was actually a dinner that one of the girls that we worked with, she got a dinner together because so everybody can come and meet each other and he walked through the door. And my friend sitting next to me, I was like, that is a beautiful man. Away from me. But no, I went after him. I went after him and it was just like lust at first sight. And ever since that night, we've been inseparable and all of a sudden we were moving in together and we moved in together. We were like, did we talk about this? Nope. Okay. Now we're engaged and a year later we were married. How cool is it working together? It's cool. You know, I always say, I'm blessed to do what I love with the person I love. You know, we live together. We work together. We travel together. People that we work with say that we're obsessed with each other, which I mean, it is what it is. Like that's my homie, my lover, my best friend. It's really cool. You know, we get to share these great moments together, celebrate these great moments together. And then when we're going through things, we get to share those moments with each other and we understand it. So I think it's very beneficial. I couldn't imagine my life any other way. I mean, I'm just blessed. WWE brought me a whole career in a husband. So, so much happiness. So much, so much. Now, you mentioned this journey of yours, which is, I mean, I'm sure it's been a while to keep up with your friends, while to keep up with them doing this and how amazing it is. How supportive have your parents been in this journey? We saw the social media reactions to the Royal Rumble. Listen, my parents, I think I have the goat family. My parents have not missed a track meet, basketball game, band recital, ballet recital for the two weeks that I did it. Soccer, meet, game, they haven't missed anything. And they have kept that same energy even when I became an adult. They are there every step of the way. They're watching everything that I do. They become my biggest fans. My mama just sent me a photo of her. She went to a cowboy store and bought her a cowboy hat. My daddy bought him some cowboy boots because we're going to be in Dallas, Texas for WrestleMania. So, I mean, they're going all in. My daddy's falling over the back of the couch when I'm doing my entrance.  But WrestleMania, my daddy almost jumped over the barricade. Security had to grab him. My mama was praise dancing when I won WrestleMania. My brother almost threw my nephew over the barricade. It was just, they're just, they are the most amazing, most loving, supportive people ever. And I would not be able to do what I do without them. They're just, they're everything. And they have to be there for every one of my big moments. They have to be. Oh, Bianca, you have other talents too. You make your own ring gear. And so, husband as well. Tell us about that and could we see, could we see a Bianca Belair clothing line at some point? That's, the goal is to eventually do a clothing line. Right now I'm very busy. But yes, I make and I sew all of my own gear. It's just, I've been sewing since I was a little girl by hand but now honestly, I learned everything from YouTube and just experimenting. I got my first sewing machine maybe five years ago. But no, I'm making so my own gear. I love to do it. You know, it's just a feeling of you getting the ring. And I look down, I'm like, I made this. I'm looking at the girl across from me like, what did you do? You didn't make your gear, I made my gear. But it's even like these dope moments of like, when I go to the store and I see my action figure and I'm like, that's me and the gear that she has on, I made that gear. When I look at the video game, it's me and I'm in the gear that I made. And it's even, I can't like, at the end of my career, I'm going to have this huge collection because I make all of my gear with the purpose of only wearing it once for my big moments. So every time I look at a specific gear, I know exactly where it came from. And so I collect all these gears. I have my Royal Rumble gear, my Survivor Series gear, WrestleMania gear, and I've only worn it for those specific moments. That's so dope. Now, the one that stood out also, the Black History gear that she brought, what made you decide to do that one and what was the reaction to it? Yeah. So the year before I did a Black History month gear where I just did a bunch of like different icons and people that were like role models to me. And the next year of a Black History month, I was in takeover Portland versus facing Rhea Ripley. And we, you know, we always talk about like Black History and we, and I feel like we always a lot of times go to the history books to find Black History. So my thing was, you know, don't just learn history, make history. Let's dive into Becky Lynch then. And this battle, WrestleMania, two night event, April 2nd, April 3rd, Arlene Sexis on the streaming. Hicoc, how'd you come to find out about this? This showdown with Becky Lynch and what can we expect? What can we expect? You can expect me walking out of WrestleMania as Rawel and me champion and redeeming myself against Becky Lynch. That's what you can expect. I'm putting that in the air. But no, yeah, I got to redeem myself. You know, Becky Lynch, I was champion. I was championing off of main event in WrestleMania and had all this momentum and then Becky Lynch came in to Summer Slum and beat me in 26 seconds. And she became the champion and she's been holding on to that championship ever since. And every single time that I've tried to go up against her, something got in my way. The match got messed up by Sasha or the triple threat where I didn't get pinned and I hit my finish on her but then Sasha came and messed it up. Or Becky's cheating, whatever it is. I'm not making excuses. I'm just focusing on WrestleMania and I'm coming after her. This story, this feud has been going on since August. So I'm looking to bring it full circle and just show people that, look, you can be on top and you can fall just as quickly as you rose. But at the end of the day, you go through things, don't give up and keep pushing through. And it's okay. Sometimes bad things happen, but we're going to push through and we're going to bring this story around full circle and get back on top of that WrestleMania. Is it going to be a quick work? Are you expecting a long night? I don't know. This is my thing. Last year I walked into WrestleMania as a rookie. This year I'm walking in as a former WrestleMania winner.  So I don't know if it's going to be quick. I don't know if it's going to be long, but I know we're going to give a WrestleMania performance, a WrestleMania match one to remember. And I'm just looking to go back to back and just walk out as Royal Miss Champion. And whether that takes 25 seconds or 25 minutes, my goal is walking out as Royal Miss Champion. More history being made for sure. Before we wrap, you mentioned the video game already, WWE 2K22. How surreal is that?  But just being in a video game, period. And people can choose you and compete with you, just how surreal is that? Being in a video game, it's surreal. I will never get used to it. But my husband and I, we were just playing the video game. He had me facing Becky Lynch in the video game. And it's one thing to just see you in the video game. He's like, that's my face. That's my hair. But then to see the video game where it shows, it's your mannerisms.  It's surreal. And sometimes after I see myself in the video game, I'm just like, what do I do now? Do I just, I'm in a video game.  Or do I eat like a different type of lunch? I don't know. I'm feeling an acting kind of different right now. But it's cool. For me, the coolest thing about that too is my nieces and my nephews and my step kids, they play me in the video game. And then I get hit up by my friends from like college and high school. They have kids now and their kids are playing me in the video game. It's crazy. It's wild. It's like with music you were talking about, you know, Magnestalian and Jay Cole earlier and people reciting their lyrics. I mean, that's their art form, but your art form is being imitated in games by kids who appreciate you, grown folks appreciate you. I mean, that's influence, you know, right there. It's wild, right? It's so wild. So to be able to see it and get videos of kids and adults, and it doesn't matter who it is, getting videos of them playing the video game and playing me, it's cool. It's hard to put into words. It's a feeling and something that can be described. But I'm blessed and I'm honored. And I'm just happy. Finally, what does the future hold for Bianca Bella? The future for Bianca Bella is bright. It's the bright S. Do you see what I did there? The bright S. No, the future is starting with April 2nd at WrestleMania at AT&T Stadium, walking out as Raw Women's Champion.  After WrestleMania, when I walk out as Raw Women's Champion, I would have defended and pinned three out of the four. So I pinned Bailey. I pinned Sasha. In WrestleMania 38, my goal is to pin Becky Lynch. And after that is to go after Charlotte Flair. I want to be the, you know, I'm here as one of the faces of the new generation of women's wrestling coming through. The four horsewomen have done amazing things and paved the way. And I'm just here to come through and say, hey, just scoot aside, make some room for me because I'm here on the scene now too. So that's my long-term goal.  We'll throw maybe in some acting in there, some movies. You know, I see what Sasha Banks over there doing. So we're acting and I would love to get into that. Maybe write some children's books and some books in there. And hey, now, you know, we talked about the video game. I would love to be on the cover of a video game. Oh, hey. The only woman by myself. I love it. Well, you know what's on your, not just the WrestleMania, but with everything that you have going on. And just keep making history. We appreciate you and love this conversation. Thank you so much, Bianca. Thank you. This was fun.


MGN. We don't play games with your YouTube gaming career. What is up everyone? On today's show we have another MGN staff member. Why don't you introduce yourself? My name is Kevin, otherwise known as Fudge Truck, Jack of all trades here at MGN and Freedom. Good to have you on the show Kevin. Where are you from and where are you located now? I grew up in the United States, the state of Michigan. You know the state that looks like a Min. Not a lot goes on here and contrary to popular belief, we don't all live in the woods. Just near the woods. Okay, yeah, I live in the woods. A house of gaming? Sounds like you have one gnarly pad Kevin. How long have you been with MGN Kevin? I've been with MGN for a little over six months now. Six months? You know a six month old baby can sit up and eat solid food? What have you done in the last six months Kevin with MGN? Can it top the baby? I've done a variety of projects from live streaming to the TSM content. Currently I'm working on the Patch Day series here on MGN as well as planning and scripting of a machinima series that you'll see on MGN in the near future. A new machinima series? What's it about Kevin? The machinima series will feature a number of characters that include many different types of tropes from the World of Warcraft community. To the casual, to the hardcore raider and even the trade chat troll. The series will center around a small group of people that set out on their journey in Draenor. The characters in the story aren't exactly what you would call top-notch heroes and the machinima chronicles their crazy adventures in Draenor. Sounds auxiliary. We can all look forward to that Kevin. What is your favorite game? My favorite game? I can't be too hard to figure out. My favorite game is World of Warcraft. Pretty obvious. I've played the game since 2007 and still enjoy it to this day. Wow, after all that time you're sure to be a master of the craft of war. That's a ton of wisdom. Well thanks for talking with us Kevin. Make sure to check out Kevin's new machinima series coming out soon on the MGN channel here. That's all for now. Nate signing out.


Welcome, I'm MC108 Fabrizio. Following the release of the E7 board results, I'm here with Fleet Master Chief April Beldo and Force Master Chief CJ Mitchell. We're here to talk about the E7 board, so if you didn't make it this year or you're going up for the first time, listen up. First, Fleet, Force, thank you for joining me. Thank you for having me. Thank you for having us. Now first, what is your main message for anyone out there that didn't make it on this cycle? Well what I would like to share with our shipmates, MC1, is if you didn't make it, do not automatically think that there's something wrong with you. That's the biggest message. You didn't do anything wrong. My first message would be don't be discouraged. Accept this as a professional challenge to seek an area where you can improve. So we're here to talk about the tips that you guys can give some of the sailors because you've both sat on multiple boards, but first, what can you tell us a little bit about how the board process works? Well, I think I'd like to turn that over to my shipmate, Force Master Chief Mitchell, as he did just come back from one of the boards. Thank you, Fleet. I did recently sit the Reserve Chief Petty Officer Board. First of all, I want to tell you there are very strict rules about what can and cannot be talked about, and there's a brief on the NPC webpage which details what happens. What happens basically is each record is reviewed by a board member, they're voted on, they're ranked, and the best of the fully qualified in accordance with the precept are selected for Chief. So I think the thing that people think about first when they're going up for the board is all of their evals. What would you tell sailors? What tips would you have on evals? How to write a man? What the board is looking for when they're looking and reviewing evals? Well, one of the things that I can remember when I was a first class Petty Officer going up for Chief is I waited until November to start remembering what I did for the whole year. And what I'd like to share with as you go through the year anything that you've done that you think is relevant in your career start keeping your will book or I guess nowadays in your smartphone or on your computer and start writing down what you did do because we forget sometimes and we don't want to forget anything that you've done that is worthy being noticed on the board. In addition to that preparation, which is very sage advice, I encourage you to at your career development board or even at your midterm counseling is a chance to start working on that draft to start talking about the things that are important to your eval and to your career. Take advantage of those times to start working on that eval. And the last thing I'll add is don't leave anything out. When your chain of command asks for your brag sheet or asks for your input, there is nothing too big or too small. Put it all on there and they'll make sure they get it in those 18 lines. So for sailors that are all kind of being rock stars at their job and doing everything they're supposed to do, what are some of the extra ways that they can be looking at to stand out at the board? Well, one thing I will say and you use the perfect word, rock stars.  So don't stop doing what you're doing, continue working hard, mentoring your junior sailors, sharing all that you have to have and your technical expertise and continue to work hard because just because you didn't make it again, like I said, that doesn't mean that you weren't worthy. What that means is that you are competing against a bunch of rock stars. Absolutely. Rock stars is a great term, but standing out is another great term. The sailors that stand out are rock stars. They improve their sailors. They improve their command, whether it's in their primary duty or collateral duty. They improve themselves by advanced education or advanced qualms. And they also work in advance and improve their communities. Those are the real standouts, the people that make a difference in all of those areas.  Well, I think a lot of sailors have heard maybe a horror story or two about they had great evals, great write ups to do and everything they're supposed to do and they maybe got disqualified or the board kind of pushed them off to the side for some discrepancies in their record.  What's the best way to go about doing that for the sailors that aren't really sure what to look for or are worried about those sleeper problems in their service record? Forrest Mitchell.  Again, Fleet Mash Chiefs have talked about it. The competition is very keen. You want to use your OMPF, the access is right there on BOL. Get with your chief or your chain of command to help you review your record. Look at your evals. It's a point and click on BOL to determine if there are any eval gaps anywhere in your record. And then submit a package. Submit that package so that your record is as complete as possible so the board has as most accurate picture as possible of the type of record you are. So when I was told to review my record, I was told to find discrepancies, make sure you submit a letter to the board. What can you tell us about those letters, how to write them or what the board looks for in those? Well, one of the things that I would like to share is NPC does a great job of giving samples on what format that that letter to the board needs to look like. If you follow that, and again, if you think something is missing or if you feel that it is worthy that you want the board members to look at that, don't let anybody else tell you not to put it in your record. Once you send us that package, and once you give us that cover letter with those enclosures, board members, and you correct me if I'm wrong, but board members are bound to look at every single piece of paper that you submit. And board members take that responsibility very seriously. They look at every single document that you submit. They want to make sure that they have the complete picture of who you are as a sailor and fleet set it earlier. Everything is important. So when in doubt, send it in. Now for final thoughts for any sailors looking at getting ready for next cycle, what would you tell them? I think, um, force Mitchell, um, you mentioned it in the beginning. Don't get discouraged. I do believe that there is a process that all of us go through when we were not selected. I wouldn't select it the first time up for every rank. So there's this grieving process. But once we get through that and we can't take it too long, we need to get back into the game, hit the deck running and start preparing for the next, um, season because it will be here before you know it. I'd like to add just a couple things. One, it's okay to be upset. It's okay to feel a little bit rejected. But again, accept that challenge professionally and not personally.  Make sure you have a good record. It's a fact. However you represent yourself and your record is the sailor that you are. And the last thing, and I can't go much farther without mentioning this is you should be studying for that chief's test right now. We can't talk about the board or preparing a package unless you pass the chief's test on our selection board eligible. So as you're working on your package, keep working and studying for that test too. I concur 100% Force Mitchell who y'all who y'all


The Bronze Age, as it is commonly known, was a pivotal era in human history as we re-emerged after the ancient Cataclysm. This was a time when mighty cities sprung up across the Mediterranean before a mysterious collapsed plunged the world into a dark age. It does appear that there has been a major key discovery about an apocalyptic disaster which wiped out an iconic civilization and shaped the story of this fundamentally important period in history. During the mid-2nd millennium BC, one power dominated the Mediterranean. From their capital on Crete, the Minoans' influence reached Cyprus, across the Greek islands and into modern Turkey and the Palestinian coast. They left behind remarkable paintings and pioneered technological advancements like indoor plumbing. They grew and flourished, that is, until one summer, around the year 1600 BC. Then, suddenly the volcano of Thera, on what is now the Greek island of Santorini, erupted with the force of two million Hiroshima bombs. The destruction would have been virtually instant, eradicating all life on the island. The event devastated the maritime trade that was their life blood and the Minoan Empire all but collapsed overnight. In the centuries that followed, they would disappear entirely. Even down to their name, the word Minoan is a Victorian invention. The eruption sent 24 cubic miles of rock into the atmosphere, four times more than the 1883 Krakatoa eruption. It blocked out the sun and threw the world into a period of bitter cold. Famines spread in Egypt as crops failed and evidence of the eruption can be found in the earliest Chinese written chronicles. At the time of King Shah, the sun was dimmed, the records say. Three suns appeared, winter and summer came irregularly, frost in July. They had fixed the date of the eruption of a volcano on Santorini known as Thera in the ancient world. Working out the exact chronology of the era could also help to explain the late Bronze Age collapse, in which civilizations across the Mediterranean were snuffed out one by one and the region was plunged into a dark age. It's possible that the aftermath of the Minoan civilizations fall, destabilized the region and set in motion a long series of events, in motion, which led to a disaster which stopped humanity in its tracks. If the Thera eruption can be anchored to a single year, then this event will be an anchor point from which to scrutinize cultural patterns across a wide region in the mid-2nd millennium BC. Historians once believed this tsunami finished off the Minoans, but the discovery of burnt buildings in major cities suggests the killer wave may have destabilized the civilization and made it unable to resist being overrun by a rival people called the Mycians. Some experts believe the volcanic disaster inspired the story of Atlantis, a naval power based on an island which disappeared into the sea. Charlotte Pearson, an expert on the matter, was asked if she believed the eruption of Thera led to the creation of this myth. She said, I think the natural disasters, be it flood, volcanic eruption, or, as argued for Atlantis, a tsunami caused by an eruption, still engendered a kind of all in modern societies. But imagine what it would be like over 3500 years ago in the quiet of the Aegean Sea when a giant noisy volcanic plume went soaring into the sky and buried the town of Akateri. I can certainly see how such an event could become the stuff of legends. Comments below guys and, as always, thank you for watching.
