and the train crashes and smacks and shudders and hisses in this railyard. it thumps and thwacks and creaks and cracks. its wheels come off easier, its bogie springs rusts quicker. these rails are made of alloyed lead and antimony. these ties are made of punky birch. management keeps pulling out the rail ballast to sell to other portions of the company, and when it thinks to replace them it uses dirt pulled up from under the track. when a track breaks the rolling stock is expected to run over it. they mostly don't crash, and when they do the news gets involved. every so often a new and glorious rail (painted shiny to look like steel) is lain. and the press come from miles and miles around to gawk. And If A Single Fucking One Asks If It's Lead And Antimony Under There They'll Never Work In This Town Again.

A&E Television Networks, LLC, doing business as A+E Global Media (formerly A+E Networks) is an American multinational broadcasting company owned and operated as a 50–50 joint venture between Hearst Communications and the Walt Disney Company through the General Entertainment Content unit of its Entertainment division. A&E was formed from the merger of the Alpha Repertory Television Service and the Entertainment Channel, a premium cable channel, in 1984 with their respective owners keeping stakes in the new company. Thus A&E's shareholders were Hearst and ABC (from ARTS) and Radio City Music Hall (Rockefeller Group) and RCA, then the parent of NBC (from Entertainment Channel). The company launched A&E, at the time known as the Arts & Entertainment Network, on February 1, 1984,[5][6] as a block on Nickelodeon to fill in the time slot that ARTS held, as ARTS was a block on Nick. A&E Networks launched the History Channel on January 1, 1995, with its UK counterpart following on November 1 in partnership with British Sky Broadcasting. A&E Networks considered History to be the driver in international expansion due to a lack of international rights to A&E international co-productions. In August 2009, A&E Networks acquired Lifetime Entertainment Services (Lifetime, LMN, and Lifetime Real Women), which at the time was also jointly owned by Disney and Hearst, each with 50% ownership. Following the deal, Disney and Hearst each held approximately 42% of the combined company, while NBCUniversal retained approximately 16%. The deal included mechanisms by which NBCU could choose, or alternatively be forced to, exit the partnership over the subsequent 15 years.[9][10] In May 2011, A&E Television Networks rebranded as "A+E Networks"; the new name was intended to signify its expansion towards other platforms besides television.[11] In July 2012, NBCUniversal confirmed plans to divest its 15.8% stake in A+E Networks by way of a share repurchase, making Disney and Hearst 50-50 partners in the joint venture.[4][12]

In 1999, Burns also created Prometheus Entertainment, a company specializing in documentary, reality, and non-fiction programming and specials. Here, Burns continued to produce and direct a wide variety of programming, including the reality show The Girls Next Door on E! (about the adventures of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner's three live-in girlfriends[4]),

Since 2010, Burns and his company Prometheus Entertainment have produced The History Channel TV series , as well as the reality TV series Kendra on Top for WEtv, and other non-fiction series and specials.

Churning is the process of shaking up cream or whole milk to make butter, usually using a device called butter churn. In Europe from the Middle Ages until the Industrial Revolution, a churn was usually as simple as a barrel with a plunger in it, moved by hand. These have mostly been replaced by mechanical churns.
