The first mentor we should have at our table is a "street view mentor". This mentor is someone who is wearing the same jersey as us, similar perspective and same mission. Doug gave an example of his wife for this mentor. She has the same perspective as he does and she is on the same mission.
The next mentor to look for at our table is a "world view mentor". This mentor is someone who has a different perspective as us but still the same mission. Doug's example of his world view mentor is a couple from his hometown, Raleigh, NC, by the names of Tom and Molly. They are a couple that sit above his perspective and can help him miss the road blocks of life.
Another mentor to have sitting with us would be the "categorical mentor". Think of this mentor as a filing cabinet. There are things in this mentor that we would like to replicate but then there are also things in this mentor that we would like to keep closed. We can pull the areas of influence out from this mentor but we don't have to follow everything about them.
The fourth mentor to look for is called the "stealth mentor". Think of this mentor as a ninja. They go unnoticed. They are people who are mentoring us but have no idea. We are able to have a conversation with them and an impromptu mentor session.
The "time machine mentor" is the next one on the list. These are people that we can no longer sit down with to have a cup of coffee but have left us resources. They have come before us and have given us a legacy to follow through with. Doug gave the example of his grandfather, Abraham Lincoln and Jesus. They are no longer here on earth with us but have left us many resources that we can gain wisdom from.
This mentor is the five and a half mentor. The half is very important because this person needs to be part of our mentors but shouldn't take up as much time as the other five. This mentor is called the "anti-mentor". More than likely we have already thought of a person that would be an anti-mentor of ours. It's someone that we want nothing to do with and wouldn't follow anything in their life. There are as many lessons in people we don't want to be like as there are in people we want to be like. We need to know what we don't want as much as we need to know what we want.

Q: PHP PDO Parameters from a function returned array I've got a function written that runs a query based on parameters passed to the function.
I can't seem to figure out why doing the following returns a result:
function test($function_returned_array)
{
    $variable = 'Hello World';
    $sql = 'SELECT `name`, `pid`
            FROM `products`
            WHERE `name` IN (?)';
    $found = $this->db->get_array($sql, $variable);
}

While this doesn't return any results:
function test2($function_returned_array)
{
    $sql = 'SELECT `name`, `pid`
            FROM `products`
            WHERE `name` IN (?)';
    $found = $this->db->get_array($sql, $function_returned_array[0]);
}

$function_returned_array[0] is also equal to 'Hello World'. Shouldn't they both return the same results?
When I echo the values of $variable and $function_returned_array[0], they are both 'Hello World'
Here's the relevant parts of my PDO wrapper:
public function query(&$query, $params)
{
    $sth = $this->_db->prepare($query);

    if(is_null($params))
    {
        $sth->execute();
    }
    else if(is_array($params))
    {
        $sth->execute($params);
    }
    else
    {
        $sth->execute(array($params));
    }

    $this->_rows = $sth->rowCount();
    $this->_counter++;
    return $sth;
}

public function get_array(&$query, $params, $style = PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)
{
    $q = $this->query($query, $params);
    return $q->fetchAll($style);
}

I'm using PHP 5.3.5.
Any help would be appreciated.

A: i have witnessed the same problem in PDO. PDO only accepts the local variable for parametrized query and not by reference or argument not sure why though.
the workaround for it can be.
function test2($function_returned_array)
{
    $variable = $function_returned_array[0];
    $sql = 'SELECT `name`, `pid`
            FROM `products`
            WHERE `name` IN (?)';
    $found = $this->db->get_array($sql, $variable);
}

Update:
You are doing it wrong. you have to Use PDO prepare() statement for parameterized query whereas i see you are using the PDO query() directly into your get_query() method.
you should use query() method only if you don't want to pass any parameter to the query.and according to php documentation here is the syntax
PDOStatement PDO::query ( string $statement )

the second argument you are trying to pass is wrong.
so instead use prepare() method, and here is the link.
http://in.php.net/manual/en/pdo.prepare.php

A: Just a heads up, the problem was that $function_returned_array[0] and $variable did not really equal the same thing. $function_returned_array[0] needed to be passed through an html_entity_decode().

Home > News and Blogs > Podcast: What is Antibiotic Resistance and Why is it a Serious Global Threat?
This podcast explores antibiotic resistance and why is it a serious global threat.
The World Health Organization has described antibiotic resistance as one of the biggest threats to global health and food security. It is estimated that at least 700,000 people die globally each year from 'superbug' infections that are resistant to antimicrobial medicines and this is predicted to rise to 10 million by 2050.
This episode explores what exactly we mean by antibiotic resistance, the use of antibiotics in food production, the potentially devastating effects of not addressing antibiotic resistance and solutions to this frightening problem. The speakers are Dr. Clare Chandler (Associate Professor in Medical Anthropology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) and Dr. Lucy Brunton (Lecturer in Molecular Epidemiology at the Royal Veterinary College).
Development Matters is a monthly podcast series produced by the London International Development Centre (LIDC) which explores current international development issues through discussions with leading scholars from across the globe. LIDC catalyses interdisciplinary research and training to tackle complex problems in international development and each topic discussed in the podcast series will be approached from an interdisciplinary perspective. The podcasts are hosted by Anjuli Borgonha, Communications Officer at LIDC.

Hofheim am Taunus, Germany– Under the banner "From Challenge to Benefit" Victrex Polymer Solutions (VPS) is presenting new applications and products based on its high-performance polymers at K 2013 in Düsseldorf. The thermoplastics help to reduce weight, energy consumption and costs in very demanding application areas which are difficult to realise with other materials. For that reason, Victrex, the worldwide leading manufacturer of polyaryletherketones (PAEK), including VICTREX® PEEK, is focusing its attention during K show on topics related to the automotive and aerospace industries along with metal replacement.
"Each new product and application development is all about identifying market trends early and taking them into account whilst facing new challenges at the same time," explains Rainer Müller, Commercial Manager Europe, with reference to the overarching motto of Victrex Polymer Solutions for K 2013. "This directly benefits OEMs and ultimately their customers, too." Although that result might sound simple enough, it takes plenty of expertise, commitment and market knowledge to achieve.
Take the aerospace industry, for example: it can take months before the most suitable material with regard to cost-benefit aspects is found, approved, and implemented as an application. Along with their unique combination of properties, PEEK polymers also score points here with their established qualifications and approvals by manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing, system suppliers, or national and international regulatory authorities. Metals cannot be replaced in this way until such qualifications and approvals are completed. The same applies for applications involving food contact.
The latest glass fibre-reinforced product VICTREX® PEEK 90GL30BLK EU meets the current requirements of both the American and the European regulatory authorities, including the EU Commission Regulation10/2011 (Plastics Implementation Measure, PIM) which will be fully implemented by end 2015. Equipment and components marketed in the EU must comply with this regulation regardless of their country of origin or manufacture.
The extraordinary performance of the PAEK product portfolio extends across a broad temperature range – and also under extreme operating conditions, such as damp, chemically aggressive environments or cyclical stresses. "In that way, decisive opportunities can be developed and often make it possible to replace metals which are much heavier or to replace other polymers which are unable to stand up over the long term under the specified conditions," says Müller in the run-up to the trade fair.
Three concrete examples bear this out: VICTREX PEEK 90HMF40, which was recently qualified by Airbus, permits weight savings of up to 40% versus aluminium. The high-strength polymer is characterised by up to 100 times longer fatigue strength and up to 20% higher specific strength and stiffness as compared with aluminium 7075-T6 used in the aerospace industry under the same conditions. So broad use of the high-performance polymer is bound to reduce weight, fuel consumption and emissions.
In automotive construction, components made of VICTREX® WGTM polymers with optimised slip/friction properties extend the service life and raise the efficiency of components, including electric pumps, for example. As compared to other high-performance plastics, the friction coefficient with Victrex polymers is even lower, depending on the requirement profile, and remains stable over the life of the product. This is great news for motor vehicle manufacturers in view of extended warranty periods or the new targets for reduced CO2 emissions recently established by the EU.
In Oil and Gas production failures can be catastrophic and expensive. For more than 30 years Victrex high-performance polymers have performed reliably to deliver safe, life-extending solutions which can save millions of dollars in costly downtime and maintenance. Unlike other high performance polymers, VICTREX PEEK provides 100% greater pressure handling capability, 3 times more creep resistance and 12 times the compressive strength at elevated pressures and temperatures. VICTREX PEEK meets the escalating high-pressure high-temperature demands with innovative materials that withstand pressures up to 30,000 psi (approx. 2,000 bar), temperatures of -60°C to 260°C (-76°C to 500°F) and exposure to harsh chemicals.
No matter whether developers are seeking to create smaller, higher performance components, to extend service life, or to implement lightweight solutions which help to simplify handling or reduce emissions, it is no longer possible to imagine how major industrial sectors would manage without the high-performance polymers from Victrex – branches such as the automotive, aerospace, electrical and electronics industries, along with machinery construction, medical (technology) and the oil and gas sector.
"Our customers understand the benefits which our polymers and our expertise provide for their applications, and therefore to their customers," concludes Müller. In view of the increasing demand, the polymer specialist is investing to expand its production capacity and to implement continuous process optimisations in order to ensure reliable supply of the high-performance plastic over the long term.
Every new development process benefits from the nearly 35-year experience of Victrex, the worldwide leading manufacturer of PAEK. The headquarters of the British parent company Victrex Plc. and the production facilities are located in Thornton Cleveleys, Lancashire, UK. In the VPS business unit, the other products manufactured there also include – along with VICTREX® PEEK polymer – VICTREX HTTM, STTM or WGTM as well as APTIV® films, VICOTE® coatings and VICTREX Pipes™.
In addition, the Victrex biomaterial business, Invibio, is a proven partner of medical device manufacturers and leading provider of biomaterials solutions worldwide. Invibio's PEEK-OPTIMA® family of implantable polymers, unsurpassed device component manufacturing support and comprehensive technical, processing and regulatory knowledge help medical device companies around the globe bring innovative products to market more rapidly.


hey just found this. I havent looked it over yet. Anyone wanna give us the lowdown on this mini AW please.
The AI is terrible, and there's not really much of a multiplayer from what I've read. I just checked on my iphone and it doesn't have any ratings, so I'm not really sure I wanna blow 2$ on a strategy game with no community, and a meh single player experience.
Space-cows is another dead community, and I find myself unagreeable with the the mechanics(though that might be a result of playing AW for about a decade).
Neither are competitive to a degree that I enjoy, but for others who want a casual TBS experience, why not?
For me, I just play chess.com app on my phone for my TBS needs.
Could we get gameboy advance emulators and connect up with them via the internet?
You can save in your emulator and then upload it somewhere.
the next player downloads, plays and uploads again.
It's not really a good solution, though.
I once got my gameboy advance emulator to work over lan.
That works with hamachi. Not quite ideal in my opinion but if you are wanting to play the gba games with people online then this is probably the tool you are looking for.


Solar Art installed solar film to a home in Laguna Beach, California. The customer was having a problem with their house getting really hot. They have large windows all throughout their house so they can enjoy the beautiful ocean views they have. The customer tried having blinds and shades installed and while it did help with the heat, it made their rooms dark and they lost their ocean view they worked so hard for. They decided to reach out to Solar Art to see if window film could potentially solve their heat problem. They worked with our sales team to find a window tint that would work best for them. They decided on a neutral Llumar solar film.
The window tint this customer installed is a heat blocking window film that will help with the amount of heat that enters their home. They had it installed on rooms throughout their entire house. This solar film, like decorative window film, security window film and anti graffiti film will block 99% of UVA and UVB rays. Solar film can reduce up to 75% of heat that enters a space. This solar film won't darken a room too much and will still allow the homeowner to utilize their beautiful views. Not only does solar film help with reducing heat, it can even reduce glare and help prevent against sun fading. Window film is easily removable with no damage to the glass if removed by a professional company. Certain window films are eligible for a rebate through your utility company to help reduce your energy bills. The customer was extremely happy with the end result of this installation. They could notice their house was cooler and it made their space more enjoyable. But most importantly, they still got to keep their amazing ocean views! Solar film works great in both residential and commercial settings such as a private office or even a storefront. Contact Solar Art today for a free quote!

An initial trickle of reports by Amazon workers of injuries and resulting hardship is turning into a deluge.
When Tammy Edgar saw Amazon worker Shannon Allen speak on an online video about becoming homeless after getting injured at Amazon, she broke down in tears.
Tammy lives in the Waco, Texas area and started working at an Amazon fulfillment center in San Marcos in September 2016.
Like most workers, she never thought she would become homeless. But when a loose machine flew off a table at her workstation toward her head one day in December 2016, everything changed. She fell over backward and took a breath. Something was not right. She noticed the pain in her back, her neck, and the left side of her body, including her shoulder, her wrist, and her arm.
She was glad she was alive, but in that moment, she had no idea her injury would change her life. She says Amazon denied her requests for help and ignored witnesses who were available to testify about her injury.
Tammy's story shows the impact of decades of attacks on the living standards of the working class.
Her father painted airplanes for a living in Kansas and her mother was a registered nurse. Like all working class families in the post-World War Two period, the family went through periods of hardship and worked hard for what they had, but she never dreamed that she could become homeless.
She grew up in Oklahoma, a state that only a generation or two before she was born was devastated by the deathly combination of the Great Depression and drought. Hundreds of thousands of workers and poor farmers fled to the west in search of a better life. Her family stayed.
Tammy has worked all her life. "We just always worked. That's how I grew up." As a young woman, she wanted to take care of people and got a job as a home health caregiver. After thirty years caring for seniors on and off, she wanted a change of pace. Amazon was hiring. She was making $10.50 an hour, slightly better than at her home care job.
She describes the inside of her massive fulfillment center.
Tammy was often told the company made sure maintenance fixed broken machines to prevent worker injury. As a packer, one of the machines at her workstation was a wrapping machine with a roll of plastic bubble wrap material that she would use to pack items coming down the line.
"As I was bending back from picking the tube up, my right shoulder barely bumped this basket attached to this three-foot table. The machine was not bolted down on the table even though it is supposed to be.
A team leader and a co-worker ran over to make sure she was alright. They knew it had been a close call. The team leader went and got her manager who brought her to Amcare—a special triage unit set up by Amazon. Amcare's purpose is to take workers' statements without an attorney present to be used against them in workers comp proceedings. Tammy didn't know that about Amcare at the time. She does now.
The Amcare employee wasn't paying much attention to Tammy and was gossiping about an ex-boyfriend, Tammy says. She was in tremendous pain and they gave her a pack of ice. Despite the pain, she wrote a handwritten report of what took place as Amazon requested. She specifically wrote down the names of the two witnesses that saw her injury. They told her they would vouch for her and she knew she could rely on them.
Now, Tammy says, "Amazon claims those documents are nowhere to be found. They would not allow me to have any copies of my handwritten documents even though I asked. I even went to HR [human resources] and asked for copies but the HR guy said, 'we already filed those and they are already put away.'" To date, Tammy says she still has not been granted access to her own handwritten report with the names of the two witnesses.
She kept working after her injury for fear of losing her much-needed income. Amazon took her off light-duty and back onto her heavy-duty job less than a week after her injury.
Amazon reportedly sent Tammy to a workers' compensation doctor who is a part of Amazon's approved network of company doctors. Many workers say Amazon requires them to travel long distances to these doctors who often downplay their injuries or tell them their injuries "pre-existed" their work accidents.
In Tammy's case, she reports that her Amazon-approved doctor told her she merely had "whiplash" and that all she needed was physical therapy. She says her doctor told her she did not need an MRI or X-ray and that the physical therapy made her condition worse.
She hired an attorney who recommended an impartial doctor. Tammy says this doctor "was just shaking his head" when he heard the Amazon-linked doctor initially diagnosed her with "whiplash". The new doctor "thought it was unbelievable" and told her she had "serious injuries" that she will have to deal with for the rest of her life.
She says Amazon's assessor, Sedgwick, fought to deny her the right to go to an orthopedic surgeon. Different doctors were fighting over her "impairment rating". an equation used to determine how injured she is and how much money she is entitled to through workers' compensation.
Tammy went to court and appeared before an administrative judge. She soon learned how the court system is rigged against the working class.
"I went to a couple hearings", she says, "and at my third one I wasn't allowed to tell my story or say anything that happened to me. I wasn't allowed to say anything about the handwritten documents that were never presented in my case. There wasn't even a court reporter.
"I asked the judge, 'Can I please speak' over and over again. 'May I tell my story?' I asked. The judge wouldn't even look at me. 'You are only allowed to answer the questions,' she said. I felt like I was a criminal or something instead of the victim. I'm the victim. It was humiliating. This whole system has let me and so many people down.
Now, Tammy says she pays $575 per month for a cheap motel room, far more than half her workers' compensation payments.
Now, Tammy says the corporation that handles Amazon's long-term disability payments is trying to force her to pay $12,700 in back payments. Since she partially won her workers' compensation case, the company says she is not entitled to previous long-term disability payments.
Tammy says Amazon has since fired her. When her workers' compensation payments end, she isn't sure what she will do next. Adding insult to injury, Amazon says when she is fully healed she can try to get her old job back. She has set up a Go Fund Me page to help get by.
Any last words? we asked.
After years of tax-break negotiation and construction, a new Amazon fulfillment center will soon be running at full speed in Troutdale, Oregon, a town 15 miles east of Portland. Amazon anticipates the opening of 1,500 full-time positions at the fulfillment center, which would immediately double the number of Oregon employees working for the Seattle-based internet retail and logistics giant: here.

Q: How do I debounce one function, will immediately invoking another function when using onChange in React? Problem
When a user checks/un-checks a checkbox, a post request is made via the onChange event. In order to avoid hammering the API, I am using _.debounce. However, I want to immediately update state when the onChange event is fired.
I understand that my current code wont't allow for that, since I am updating state in updateTodoItem(), which is run in the debounced handleChange() function.
Question.
How do I continue to debounce the post request, while immediacy invoking this.setState()?
Simplified Code
...
import _ from "lodash";
import axios from "axios";
import setAxiosHeaders from "./AxiosHeaders";
class TodoItem extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      complete: this.props.todoItem.complete
    };
    this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
    this.updateTodoItem = this.updateTodoItem.bind(this);
    this.inputRef = React.createRef();
    this.completedRef = React.createRef();
    this.path = `/api/v1/todo_items/${this.props.todoItem.id}`;
  }
  handleChange() {
    this.updateTodoItem();
  }
  updateTodoItem() {
    this.setState({
      complete: this.completedRef.current.checked
    });
    setAxiosHeaders();
    axios
      .put(this.path, {
        todo_item: {
          title: this.inputRef.current.value,
          complete: this.completedRef.current.checked
        }
      })
      .then(response => {})
      .catch(error => {
        console.log(error);
      });
  }
  render() {
    const { todoItem } = this.props;
    return (
      <tr className={`${this.state.complete ? "table-light" : ""}`}>

          ...

            <input
              type="boolean"
              defaultChecked={this.state.complete}
              type="checkbox"
              onChange={_.debounce(this.handleChange, 1000)}
              ref={this.completedRef}
              className="form-check-input"
              id={`complete-${todoItem.id}`}
            />
            <label
              className="form-check-label"
              htmlFor={`complete-${todoItem.id}`}
            >
              Complete?

    );
  }
}

export default TodoItem;

A: I just needed to call _.debounce() on updateTodoItem.
handleChange() {
  this.setState({
    complete: this.completedRef.current.checked
  });
  this.updateTodoItem();
}
updateTodoItem = _.debounce(() => {
  setAxiosHeaders();
  axios
    .put(this.path, {
      todo_item: {
        title: this.inputRef.current.value,
        complete: this.completedRef.current.checked
      }
    })
    .then(response => {})
    .catch(error => {
      console.log(error);
    });
}, 1000);

<input
  type="boolean"
  defaultChecked={this.state.complete}
  type="checkbox"
  onChange={this.handleChange}
  ref={this.completedRef}
  className="form-check-input"
  id={`complete-${todoItem.id}`}

Arthur Burdett Frost was our best illustrator of rural America. He usually treated his characters with humor, and in his drawings there was a directness and honesty which showed his sympathetic understanding of his subjects. His sound draughtsmanship was combined with an intimate knowledge of nature. The details in his pictures are always very specific, as though drawn on the spot, and so artfully chosen and placed as to carry out the picture's idea in a natural and entirely convincing manner.
Frost was appreciated as a wood engraver and gravitated to work as a lithographer. His first success came with his illustrations for Out of the Hurly-Burly by Max Adler. He became a member of the Harper's Brothers art staff alongside Abbey and Pyle, studied with Thomas Eakins and William Merritt Chase. The Frost family also sojourned in France for a long period of study for Frost and his two sons.

Q: Angular JS ng-if I'm new to AngularJS and I'm learning it independently.
I read about ng-if using the official AngularJS website.
I got an exercise which I need to scan a color, and if the color is white (#fff in hex), I should change the span's background-color to black (#000 in hex).
This is what I've tried JSbin.
I involved Javascript because I don't know how to deal with CSS on Angular and I think that's they reason why the code is not working as expected.
Sorry for being ignorant.
Thanks in advance.

A: You don't use inline JS (onclick) when you have ng-click (or at all, for that matter). I suggest you take a step back and make sure you understand what's going on, and not just put in random bits of code in hope they would give you what you want.
Here's an updated demo.
First, I removed the onClick. then I changed the function to be included in the scope as that's the only way things you put in things like ng-click can find those functions. Last, I changed added a backgroundColor variable to be set to the desired color when the button is clicked, and changed the style attribute of the output element to have a background-color rather than color like you had.
Also, I don't see how ng-if has anything to do with this.

Rosie Kay on her new MK Ultra – exploring the world of conspiracy theory and the Illuminati

MK Ultra has its world premiere performances at Birmingham Repertory Theatre on 17 & 18 March and then tours to a further 10 venues across the UK until 18 May 2017. Full Details.
Explaining my new work, MK Ultra, to people has become a lot easier in recent weeks. Even six months ago, mentioning my work looking at conspiracy theory would have drawn a snort from many over the age of 25. But it is different now- 'Fake News' and 'Alternative Facts' have become the news and the fragile balance of trust between truth, the news, our leaders and the media has been fractured. The lid has been lifted, and widespread belief and knowledge of conspiracy theory is now being looked at seriously – something I've been advocating for several years as I researched and watched the gulf between the mainstream, the alternative and how young people were navigating their way in this confused world of distrust. Most of us have been in a state of stasis, but young people have known and felt the disintegration of belief in our leaders and the stories they tell us.

Researching conspiracy theory since 2012, I came across the theory of the 'Illuminati'. For those who don't know, they are a supposed shadowy elite who control the media through messages in pop music, entertainment with the intent on somehow ruling the world, spreading a 'New World Order' agenda of state control. Through my research I encountered a lot of conspiracy theory, I looked at false flag attacks, false news, alternative theories on almost every single mainstream news item, as well as theories on shadowy elites, occult sects, secret societies, modern witchcraft, assassinations and celebrity deaths.
I was influenced by my work at the School of Anthropology at the University of Oxford, understanding how one can study groups of people in modern society who exhibit certain traits of belonging; a modern tribe in effect, and what this means as a reflection of contemporary society. I was also reviving my 2010 work, 5 Soldiers and attending a lot of military seminars as part of the Changing Character of War Programme at Oxford, listening to Army Generals, public and economic policy makers and peacekeepers talk about the future of stability, and threats to security across the world. I was struck by how important communication and engagement was to everyone, but yet how out of date the methods were. I felt the 'powers that be' still very much wanted to set the agenda and tone of all aspects of the world we live in, but this was a 20th Century patriarchal belief and populations were becoming rebellious and distrustful of the messages fed to them.

Through all my research, I look for certain qualities. Does it feel new? Does it excite me? Does it feel original? And key to all of this – how can this be expressed through dance? Where is the body in this? I need to feel, within the fabric of my own body, how I think this could be expressed in a new and physical way. This is a mysterious and intuitive process for me; my research, my imagination and my body have to align for me to feel that this is a suitable project for my work. It was when I encountered the conspiracy theory relating to 'the Illuminati' that I knew I'd found the way in for my new work, MK Ultra.
The conspiracy theory
The conspiracy theory is that the people who created and developed the brainwashing technique of MK Ultra teamed up with CIA and Disney to create automaton pop stars. MK Ultra was a CIA brainwashing programme that was carried out across Western Universities in an attempt to use experimental psychology to programme potential spies, soldiers and assassins. While it is historically agreed that MK Ultra did in fact take place, and many people were unwilling volunteers, there is no evidence that MK Ultra has continued past the early 1970's. The theory is that it did continue, with the MK Ultra doctors and the CIA directors teaming up with Walt Disney to attempt to brainwash singing and acting children, and turn them into programmed stars who would perform as puppets spreading messages to alter public consciousness.
Potential stars were brainwashed through MK Ultra torture techniques and programmed to be perfect performing pop stars. This was carried out through the Disney club and took several attempts before they struck gold with their first mainstream star, Britney Spears.
Shelley Eva Haden in MK Ultra.
But one of the downsides of the MK Ultra brainwashing, is that the programming starts to falter as the victim ages, with the individuals own personality fighting back and trying to break through their brainwashing. The stars would have some kind of episode, often with the media reporting planted stories of drink or drug addictions, before the star is put into some kind of 'psychiatric unit' where, the public would be told they were having rehabilitation, but in actual fact they were being re-programmed. The stars, now re-progammed by their 'handlers' then return to their grueling touring and performance schedules, often looking a little bit dazed, but mostly compliant until the next 'episode'. This is supposed to have happened very famously to Britney, but also to Lady Gaga, Justin Beiber, Lindsay Lohan and most recently to Kayne West.
So far, so bizarre.
So I went out into the Midlands and I spoke with young people. I asked them about media representation and I waited for the magic words, 'the Illuminati' to come up. The classroom would erupt and discussion would become extremely animated. That is to say amongst a large proportion of the group – there were always a few young people who asked what was going on and were totally unaware. As I left one school, I heard a student whisper excitedly to a friend "I cannot believe that we were actually talking about this stuff in the classroom!" I felt like I'd tapped into a secret belief system that the children sheltered from their parents and from adults, people who were unaware of the significance the children see in daily life. I became really interested in how young people felt these conspiracy theories were affecting them – how did they feel about mainstream news stories? What did they believe in, what didn't they believe in, what was real?
While conspiracy theory can be seen as a joke – the preserve of the tin hat brigade, still obsessing about 9/11 and career suicide for academics, as I was told, I felt that this was a real phenomenon and one ripe for artistic exploration.
Hidden within pop music videos is a tick-list of Illuminati symbols – symbols that tell the viewer if this artist is a puppet of the Illuminati or not. These symbols include butterfly's (linked to monarch programming, a term for a certain type of brainwashing), triangles (THE sign of the Illuminati and a symbol of the power of the elite over the masses) one eye and eye of Horus (links to Egyptology and the all seeing eye), birdcages (trapped), asylums (the brainwashing torture chambers), broken glass (symbolizing the shattered psyche), checkered floors (linked to freemasonry) and occult and satanic signs. If you don't believe me, try watching Keisha's Die Young video with this all in mind, and you'll soon see it.
What was even more exciting was the medium through which these messages were transmitted; through dance routines, through the pop stars bodies and through the backing dancers who support them. This gave me a way to look at these dances, and these styles of dancing, including twerking, krumping and street styles, and manipulate and absorb it with a strong technical and contemporary aesthetic – this is difficult, challenging dance, which pushed the dancers vocabulary to the maximum and pushed the work out of the realm of pastiche and into the avant-garde.
The making of the work so far
Following period of research and development over the past 18 months, I began to work out that the key to this work would be dance vocabulary itself and the performance modes the dancers played with.
Following the auditioning and casting of the show in November 2016, in an unusual step, I decided to spend one week in the studio alone, improvising material for the group sections and a solo for each of the cast members. Company members Shelley Eva Haden and Oliver Russell then joined me, and we learnt how to work from video, how time consuming it could be and if the material worked on other's bodies; it did and we were very excited.
In January this year the cast came together and the first week was spent learning a huge amount of raw material from video, together, alone and in small groups. On one day, I was confronted by the strange sight of seven dancers all learning solo material from computers, headphones plugged in, a virtual rehearsal in the studio. Following that I created group sections using the dancers in the studio.

By week 3, a structure was built, and after our first stagger-through run-through, we began to talk character and narrative with our dramaturg Tessa Walker. The dancers began to make choices – not set in stone, but as an experiment to see who their alter-ego personality on stage was, how they began the piece, and how they had transformed through the work. This was a key point – after literally being brainwashed into learning a large volume of steps, they began to find meaning in each of these movements, each section, solo and group dance helping them to tell their story to us as an audience. Seeing the dancers shift from automatons, to living, breathing performers was moving, and forms part of the piece as a whole – I ask them when are they in control, when is control from outside, when are they obeying unheard orders? When are they awake and aware? When are they helpless? This has added much depth and there is more to go in the final week and on stage. This show digs deep into the performers psyche – it asks questions of identity and the fabric of who we are, who controls us (consciously or subliminally) and how to we gain approval, success, acceptance on stage, through our dancing bodies?
Lizzie Klotz in MK Ultra.
But what this incredible world reveals is far more than just a crazy conspiracy theory that generally young people are aware of, and older people are not. This world holds up a mirror to where we are now. Do we all think we are stars now? Are we the stars in our own reality TV show, and each aspect of our lives defines our individuality? Each product we buy or activity we do shows how separate and special we are, but in fact we are not free, perhaps we have been sold a dream and we are living in a brainwashed state? We are living in our own bubble, we see our version of the truth, and live our lives surrounded by information that helps reinforce the bubble of reality we inhabit. And like our pop stars, our programming is starting to dysfunction, we are starting to see through our dream, and waking up from the sleepwalk that has taken us into the harsh reality of where we are now. As one young person put it succinctly; "we used to believe, we used to be told what was real by our leaders, but since recent events, we've been let down. Now we fend for ourselves".
In this new world reality, it's not just the New World Order we need to be afraid of, it's our lack of leadership and the forces that fill this vacuum as we stumble along, half awake, half asleep. Or maybe we are just about to wake up, and realise that there is a new reality, just around the corner, or is it 'over the rainbow'?

Lately, when I find that the noise in my head has gotten a little too loud, I retreat to a corner of the website for a Belgian brewery called De Proefbrouwerij. I like looking at that clean, white machine, those blue, digital readouts: Something sanitary is being done here, something beyond the sweaty reach of human error. Buttons? We have several. Other brewer's websites may tell you charming stories about who they are and where they came from, accompanied by pictures of the people behind the beer posed in T-shirts and dungarees. Not so with De Proef, whose website is mostly pictures of steel cisterns and the occasional flowchart thrown in for color—a calming display that permits me the delusion that beer has some curative, almost medicinal quality, which I think has been out of vogue in the doctoring community for about a hundred years.
If you dabble in the world of progressive European beer, you've probably already heard of this De Proef place, which is not only a brewery in the authorial sense of the word but a facility where other brewers can come and see their recipes to fruition, too—an endeavor that combines the American ideal of doing things yourself with the European one of communal access. (Danish brewery Mikkeller brews there, as does To Øl, along with a host of even more culty enterprises.) At the helm of this operation is a man named Dirk, and from all I have read, Dirk does not give tours.
One of my favorite beer experiences of the last several months has been a De Proef house project called Reinaert, which Beeradvocate classifies as a Belgian Strong Ale and Ratebeer refers to as a Sour/Wild. I don't think much of the conflation of "sour" and "wild," which seem about as related to me as scissors and butcher knives. One connotes tartness; the other almost always connotes that elusive, so-called "funky" quality leant by the wild yeast brettanomyces, which transports me to worlds of old leather and the armpits of loved ones. From a consumer standpoint, I'll venture to say that if you buy Reinaert looking for a sour, you'll be disappointed, and if you buy it looking for a straight Belgian pale, you'll be creeped out.
The first time I bought it, I was rung up by a young man named Don, who often rings me up when I buy beer. The label has a simple, crest-like design cast in butterscotch and pale yellow. It reminds me of a steak lodge in Virginia horse country where tradition runs so deep they no longer have to advertise it.
"I don't need a bag," I said.
This was November, a good time of year to be in Tucson, Ariz. That evening I opened the bottle and poured it into one of those tulip glasses. It has a deep, cloudy orange color with pretty persistent carbonation. I could spend full minutes smelling this beer, which hits that bewitching vector of fruity, musty, and faintly gross that I associate with brett beers I like. There's a little sweetness in the taste of it, but it's so instantly tempered by earthier flavors I almost hesitate to mention it, and the finish feels dry, almost sharp. It also doesn't leave my lips sticky, which is a highly unscientific metric, but I leave the science to De Proef. And at 9-percent ABV, you'd never know it.
Halfway through my first bottle of Reinaert, my cat came into my office and began meowing—usually a sign that he wants attention he somehow feels he hasn't yet been given. I swiveled toward him. He was standing in the doorway. He meowed again. I swiveled away. Hush, I thought. I want to savor this armpit in peace. I have done this several times since, gauging the variegations of the wild yeast, sometimes while staring at the De Proef website and sometimes just staring at an empty sidewalk, and have always been glad.

Sources: 19 Austin Police Officers Indicted over Protests

AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas grand jury indicted 19 Austin police officers on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for their actions during 2020 protests over racial injustice that spread nationwide following the killing of George Floyd, according to people familiar with the matter.
Multiple people spoke to The Associated Press Thursday on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly. Austin Police Association President Ken Cassidy confirmed 19 officers are facing charges but did not have details.
It ranks among the most indictments on a single police department in the U.S. over tactics used by officers during the widespread protests — methods that led to the resignation or ouster of several police chiefs across the country.
Word of the indictments came hours after Austin city leaders approved paying $10 million to two people injured by police in the protests, including a college student who suffered brain damage after an officer shot him with a beanbag round.
Combined, the charges and settlements amounted to conservative Texas' liberal capital of 960,000 people taking some of its biggest actions as criticism still simmers over its handling of the protests, which intensified pressure on then-Police Chief Brian Manley to eventually step down.
Jose Garza, the district attorney for Travis County, which includes Austin, spoke to journalists Thursday afternoon about the grand jury investigation but gave no specifics about it, including how many officers are facing charges, and for what crimes.
"Our community is safer when our community trusts enforcement. When it believes law enforcement follows that law and protects the people who live here," Garza said. "There cannot be trust if there is no accountability when law enforcement breaks the law."
A spokesperson for the Travis County District Attorney's office, Ismael Martinez, declined to comment on the number of officers charged and referred reporters to Garza's comments.
Prosecutors have not identified any of the officers facing charges. Texas law requires that an indictment remain secret until an officer has been arrested. Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, when committed by a public servant, could carry a sentence of up to life prison.
Cassidy, the president of the Austin Police Association, called the move "devastating" for law enforcement in the city, but also said he's confident that no officer will be convicted. He criticized Garza, calling the investigation politically motivated.
"DA Garza ran on a platform to indict police officers and has not missed the opportunity to ruin lives and careers simply to fulfill a campaign promise," Cassidy said.
Garza said his office prosecutes anybody who causes harm "regardless of who causes it."
Austin Chief of Police Joseph Chacon, who took the job after Manley left, said he respects the grand jury process but was "extremely disappointed" to hear the district attorney announce anticipated indictments of his officers.
Chacon stressed that his command staff had prepared officers to face hundreds of people when thousands actually showed up to protests that he said were at times "righteous and violent."
"I am not aware of any conduct, that given the circumstances that the officers were working under, would rise to the level of a criminal violation by these officers," Chacon said.
But beanbag rounds fired by officers did not always perform "in the manner anticipated," Chacon said, and his agency now prohibits the use of "less lethal munitions in crowd-control situations."
The settlements approved Thursday are among the largest paid to people who were injured by police across the U.S. during massive protests that followed Floyd's death.
The largest of the Austin settlements gives $8 million to Justin Howell, who was 20 years old when police shot him with a beanbag round. Family members told the AP following the incident that Howell suffered a cracked skull and brain damage, leaving him in critical condition for multiple days.
The city will also pay $2 million to Anthony Evans, who was 26 when an Austin police officer shot him with a beanbag round in a separate incident, which resulted in extensive medical treatment in his jaw.
Austin Mayor Steve Adler said the settlements "remind us of a real difficult and painful moment in our city." A representative for the Howell family did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It is the latest reflection of how, two years after the protests that swept across the country, cities are still addressing the injuries and tactics used by police. Earlier this month, prosecutors announced charges against two Dallas police officers accused of injuring demonstrators after firing less lethal munitions.
After the protests in Austin, then-police Chief Manley later said Howell was not the intended target after an altercation in a crowd, which he said involved people who threw objects at a line of officers. Authorities have said that led to the officers firing at the mass of protestors from above.
David Frost, who captured on video the moments after Howell was shot, told the AP that he saw protesters throwing fist-sized rocks and water bottles at the line of police on an overpass. Then he saw Howell fall. He was bleeding heavily and went into a seizure, Frost said at the time.
The settlements are the second and third payments awarded among a dozen lawsuits filed in Austin that have claimed injuries from the protests. Earlier this month, The Austin American-Statesman reported that a $150,000 settlement was approved for a woman named Ariana Chavez, who was shot in the head with less lethal munition resulting in a concussion.
At least 19 people were hospitalized in Austin following the protests.
Eleven officers were disciplined for their actions in the early summer protests, with seven additional officers placed on administrative duty.

Everyone loves ice cream whether it's in the summer to cool down or in the winter as a delicious and sweet treat. For lots of people, it brings back fond memories and some people, if they are anything like me will go to great lengths to find the type and flavour of ice cream they love. We have put together an Ultimate Ice Cream Guide for you and you never know you might find something out about ice cream that you didn't already know.
So there are many thoughts from historians about where Ice Cream first came from. History tells us that ice cream was originally credited to the Chinese and it was created around 200 BC when a milk and rice mixture was frozen by packing it into the snow.
The explorer, Marco Polo is popularly cited for having seen ice-creams being made during his trip to China and later introduced these to Italy when he returned.
Roman emperors are supposed to have sent slaves to mountain tops to bring back fresh snow which was then flavoured and served as an early form of ice-cream.
The King of England, Charles I, is suggested to have offered his personal chef £500 a year to keep his ice-cream recipe a secret from the rest of England.
Ice Cream sundaes were invented when in the late 19th century it became illegal to sell ice-cream sodas on a Sunday in the American town of Evanston. Local Traders then replaced the soda with syrup and called the dessert an "Ice Cream Sunday" to get around this problem.
What types of Ice Cream are there?
There are so many types of ice cream across the world, ranging from soft-serve ice cream, gelato ice cream, sorbet ice cream, full-fat ice cream, low-fat ice cream, fat-free ice cream, hard ice cream, low sugar ice cream, vegan ice cream, lactose free ice cream, commercially made ice cream, homemade ice cream, supermarket brought ice cream and the list goes on.
Each one is slightly different, with varying tastes and textures.
What are the main ingredients of Ice Cream?
In its most basic form, ice cream is a mixture of water, ice, cream and/or milk, sugar, protein, air, the specific flavour (vanilla, lemon, chocolate and so forth) and sometimes eggs that are frozen whilst it's churned to create a deliciously frozen product. In commercial ice-cream making, stabilizers, such as plant gums can be used and the mixture is pasteurized and homogenized. Every ice cream recipe is different and the process to make it varies depending on if you are a business using a commercial ice cream maker, or if you are making it at home.
There are thousands of ice cream flavours and restauranteurs are now coming up with many weird and wonderful ice cream flavours to excite your taste buds.
Chocolate, White Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Brownie, Vanilla, Strawberry, Rasberry, Pecan, Chocolate Chip, Caramel, Salted Caramel, Praline, Cherry, Cookies and Dough, Fudge, Candy, Lemon, Mango, Mocha, Coffee, Almond and Toasted Almond, Pistachio, Sherbert, Coconut, Banana, Blackberry.
Christmas Cake Ice Cream, Christmas Pudding Ice Cream Recipe, Cinnamon, Ginger and Nutmeg Ice Cream, Mulled Wine Ice Cream, Christmas Flavoured Ice Cream Recipe, Cranberry and Lillet Rouge Sorbet Recipe, Fennel Five Spiced Eggnog, Gingerbread Cookie Dough Ice Cream.
Coconut-Curry Ice Cream, Spaghetti and Cheese Flavoured Ice Cream, Vietnamese Coffee with Frosted Almonds and Peanut Butter Curry Flavoured Ice Cream, Black Walnut Flavoured Ice Cream, Caviar Flavoured Ice Cream, Pickled Mango Flavoured Ice Cream, Horseradish Flavoured Ice Cream, Fish and Chip Flavoured Ice Cream, Pear with Blue Cheese Flavoured Ice Cream, Guinness Flavoured Ice Cream, Lobster Flavoured Ice Cream, Porridge Flavoured Ice Cream, The Hottest Chilli Flavoured Ice Cream, Ketchup Flavoured Ice Cream, Chicken Wing Flavoured Ice Cream, Vegan Chocolate Avocado Flavoured Ice Cream, Goats Cheese Beetroot Swirl Flavoured Ice Cream, Gin and Tonic Sorbet Flavoured Ice Cream, Turkish Delight Flavoured Ice Cream, Prosecco Flavoured Ice Cream, Basil Flavoured Ice Cream, Coal or Charcoal Flavoured Ice Cream, Cereal Milk Ice Cream, Blu Top 'Carrot Cake' Flavoured Ice Cream.
Can you believe that anyone eats some of these weird and wonderful flavours? There definitely are and there are more and more commercial ice cream makers that are coming up with really different flavours to draw their customers in. So honestly, are there any of these that you fancy trying?
There are now so many low fat ice cream recipes around and lots of ice cream parlours and restaurants are offering exotic low-fat flavours. Low fat ice cream is generally made from; water, ice, skimmed or semi-skimmed milk, sugar, protein, air and normally egg yolks as well as the flavour you want to make, fruit, or chocolate as an example. You can also use cornflour to thicken the milk to replace the egg yolks and this is a tradition from southern Italy. This is great ice cream to make if the person eating it is put off by the eggy flavour of custard-based ice creams.
Low-fat or no-fat yoghurt is considered a healthier choice than ice cream because it's ingredients are much lower in fat, however, always remember low-fat ice cream still contains as much if not more sugar as normal ice cream.
Full fat and standard ice cream contain full-fat cream and milk along with the other normal ice cream ingredients. The full-fat cream and milk give the ice cream a delicious, creamy and full taste, which most people love at any time of the year.
Over recent years veganism has become very popular and because of this, the number of dairy-free ice cream options has dramatically increased in restaurants, parlours and supermarkets. No vegan alternative will taste exactly like standard ice cream, however, it is still a lovely, smooth and creamy flavour. Vegan ice cream is made from coconut milk which replaces the cream and the milk in normal ice cream.
Full-fat coconut milk is the best standard cream and milk substitute for vegan ice cream as almond milk or soy milk don't give the same creamy, sweet taste when it comes to ice cream.
In general, vegan foods are much healthier than their normal counterparts and vegan ice cream has less sugar and fat and is full of soy protein, so it's a yes from us.
What is the best way to eat Ice Cream?
Ice cream is such a diverse treat or dessert and there are so many ways and other foods you can accompany it with. Whether it's soft serve vanilla in a cone with a drizzle of sauce and a flake making it a traditional 99, in scoops on its own using Britains favourite vanilla flavour or scoops of different flavours. It is a delicious addition to fruit or to accompany an apple pie, chocolate brownie or cheesecake. You can even add it to milkshake to give it a creamier, thicker texture or add it to some lemonade to make an ice cream sundae. Then there are ice cream sundaes which are truly in a world of their own.
When do you eat Ice Cream?
Whether you are at home in the summer and want to cool down or out for the day and want a delicious treat then ice cream is the thing you are looking for. You might be out for a blustery cold winter walk and a creamy ice cream will give you the sweetness and treat you are looking for. If you are out for lunch, dinner or even breakfast for some then ice cream is definitely a yes, on its own or to accompany your dessert choice. There really are no rules, its official you really can eat ice cream anywhere and any time.
What is the best type of Ice Cream?
Everyone has their favourite ice cream, whether its soft serve, artisan gelato, sorbet, full-fat, low-fat, fat-free, hard ice cream, low sugar ice cream, lactose-free ice cream, vegan ice cream or any of the many others.
Most people will agree that Ice cream is the UK's most popular treat or dessert. Ice cream is defined as a frozen mixture containing cream or milk and butterfat, sugar, flavouring, and sometimes eggs. It must not be overrun by 100% and this means that the base doesn't increase in volume by over 100% in the churning process. If it does, this results in a mixture that is over 50% air and is not then classed as ice cream.
Soft Serve Ice Cream and Artisan Gelato are probably two of the UK's favourites and their ingredients can be adapted to make vegan, low fat and sugar-free ice cream in any flavour.
Soft serve is a delicious soft whipped ice cream or yoghurt which is most often served on a cone, in a cup, with a dessert, as a sundae or even as a base for a thick shake. To make soft serve ice cream you can create a freshly made mix which is your own bespoke recipe using raw ingredients such as good milk and cream, or simply buy a pre-made liquid or powder base which is ready to go and add it to your commercial machine. Using natural ingredients or a premium ready-made base mix, a soft serve dessert offering can deliver a fresh fragrant product difficult to beat for your customers.
The definition of Artisan is "a worker in a skilled trade, especially one that makes things by hand". Today's commercial gelato machines help us to make consistent and readily available gelato ice cream but the philosophy of artisan remains. Gelato is healthier and lower in fat than standard ice cream and it is made in small batches using fresh, natural ingredients and served at a warmer temperature for a more intense flavour. Gelato is Ice Cream's Italian cousin and it is made with whole milk, without using added cream. This makes the milk fat percentage much lower than traditional ice cream, making it lower fat and it is often made without eggs and stabilizers. While it is being churned, there is little to no air whipped into it which gives it a denser and thicker texture.
Where can you buy Ice Cream?
You can buy ice cream when you are out and about in restaurants, ice cream parlours, from ice cream vans, at fetes, festivals, fayres and from supermarkets to make sure you always have your favourite treat to hand or you can make your own at home.
Making ice cream at home can be tricky as the process is detailed and the timings are essential, you also need a strong arm to ensure you have the power to mix it like the churn you would get from a commercial ice cream machine. The benefits of commercially made ice cream are; the ingredients are accurately measured every time and every part of the process is timed to the second. This gives you consistent flavours, textures and temperature which, in essence, are the essentials of producing excellent ice cream that you and all your customers love.
So that's it, we think we've covered it all and hope you have learned some new things about ice cream and the wonderful things associated with it.

The film looked fantastic in this format but to be perfectly honest it was no better than the standard Blu-ray version. All the visuals looked nice and crisp but comparing them to the Blu-ray it was pretty much the same quality. There isn't anything bad nor is there anything extravagant either which is a bit disappointing when it comes to a 4K Ultra HD release. So if you have a few extra dollars to spend then get the 4K and it will cover all bases but if you buy the Blu-ray then you'll be good to go as well.
