Lesley Manning

Lesley Manning is a British film, television, and theatre director best known for directing the BBC Screen One drama special, Ghostwatch (BBC One 1992) which aired to an audience of 11.07 million viewers, later regarded as both groundbreaking and a cult favourite amongst TV and genre fans.
==Early life and work==
Lesley Manning was born in Tenby, Wales. During her time at art college, she honed her skills in film direction and film editing, working for Thames TV, and later the BBC. She also served as a technician on Black Jack for Ken Loach.
==Ghostwatch==
On Hallowe'en Night 1992, the BBC aired Ghostwatch, a supernatural special drama directed by Manning which unconventionally took the guise of a live television event. Due to the media furore that followed in the wake of the programme's first (and, to-date, only) transmission, immediate reaction to the production seemed polarised, but as time passed, a cult audience grew online. The drama is often cited as being an inspiration for other popular examples of the Found Footage and Cinéma vérité genres, including Oren Peli's Paranormal Activity.
Reflecting upon the programme's lasting popularity, in 2012, Manning co-produced and edited the retrospective documentary, Ghostwatch: Behind the Curtains which was released to mark the programme's Twentieth Anniversary.
==Other work==
In 1995, Manning directed two episodes of the BBC serial Ghosts (1995 British TV series), produced by Ruth Baumgarten, with one episode written by Ghostwatch writer, Stephen Volk. Amongst other works, Manning later directed episodes of Berkeley Square, and Drovers' Gold.
In 2011, she wrote and directed Leila, starring Chloë Annett whom herself won the Best Actress award at the London Independent Film Festival for her performance.
Manning is also a directing tutor at National Film and Television School, and is listed in the "Thanks Also To" section of the closing credits for Aardman Animation's A Grand Day Out.

Leslie Joe

Leslie Joe is a Canadian businessman responsible for founding Sunrise Soya Foods
==Early years==
At the age of 21, he immigrated from Panyu District, China to Medicine Hat, Canada. He landed a job in a restaurant there. It was also around this time when he also gave himself the English name "Leslie", which sounded British at the time to further associate his life in Canada.
==Sunrise (Sunrise Soya Foods)==
Joe learned the arts of the tofu trade from his uncle's tofu company, Nam Kee, which he later re-named it to "Sunrise". Sunrise made about 200 blocks of tofu each day, with each of them costing a nickel; the soy pulp was sold to farmers for animal feed. But according to Joe, "the business didn’t do very well in the beginning,” likely because he was only making $10 a day (about $110 today), so he turned to introducing produce to his little company. After that decision, Joe started to see major impacts towards his business. His earnings rose to $200 a day, and officially bought the company from his uncle's widow. Joe got together and later married his wife, Susan, and had a son and three daughters, who also helped him of building his business.
Today, Joe sometimes visits his three daughters still working hard at the facility. He also helps out with the operations when he can.
