"You're on mute, my friend!" … a positive reflection on 2021
This time last year, we talked about 2020 being an "unprecedented year". As 2021 draws to a close, how best to describe another 12 months in which Covid-19 was never far from our thoughts? What's certain is that the IPCSA community continued to work hard, share and collaborate, support each other, innovate and deliver some remarkable achievements.
In short, our tenth anniversary year was not "more of the same". We would describe 2021 as "better of the same".
"You're on mute" has become one of the most well-used phrases, along with "Can you hear me?" and even "I will turn off the video to see if that improves the connection."
We always say that to stay the same you have to change – and never has this been truer. We have embraced and made the most of the opportunities offered by Zoom and Teams meetings, which have kept the IPCSA community connected through difficult times.
We hadn't expected to be celebrating our tenth anniversary remotely – but, to spin things a different way, a virtual celebration did enable more than 300 people from every corner of the world to join us online.
Sadly, 2021 was the year we said farewell to our dear friends Dominique LeBreton, David Hesketh and John Winn. Each of them contributed so much to IPCSA, bringing wisdom and friendship in equal measures. They will be remembered with fondness and respect.
IPCSA's members have remained at the forefront of keeping world trade moving through the digitalisation of processes in pursuit of trade facilitation.
During 2021, the full integration of PROTECT was completed a year early; our Network of Trusted Networks is fully up and running; we welcomed Puertos del Estado as a member and set up a collaboration with the Inter-American Committee on Ports (CIP). IPCSA became a member of the World Customs Organization's influential Private Sector Consultative Group (PSCG).
We ended the year with the launch of our global PCS study, which is led by Tarragona-based PCS specialist Anna Navarro.
As we approach 2022, we send all our members and friends our best wishes for the Festive Season and for a happy and successful year ahead. We hope to be able to meet again soon – but, if we have to wait a little longer, let's make it a year to remember by working together and achieving more of our goals.
On behalf of IPCSA, our Chairman Hans Rook, Vice-Chairman Javier Gallardo, Secretary General Richard Morton, Projects Director Anna Navarro and members, we send our best wishes as we look forward to a busy 2022 and, hopefully, a year when we can meet each other once again.

AMD is starting to make a name for itself with low power, moderate performance chips that are showing up in netbooks and ultraportable notebooks including the Acer Aspire One 521 and Dell Inspiron M101z. But the company's not done pumping out chips for the budget ultraportable market. In fact, AMD is just getting started.
Today AMD unveiled new details about its upcoming Bobcat platform for small, low power devices such as netbooks, nettops, and tablets. Bobcat is the processor core that will show up in the Ontario chips due out in early 2011.
AMD says Bobcat is capable of operating on less than a watt of energy, but it's an x86 processor with out0of-order execution, which means it should be more than capable of powering Windows and other complex operating systems. According to AMD, the Bobcat core offers 90% of the power you expect from a mainstream chip today, while using less than half the silicon area.
Ontario chips will combine the Bobcat CPU with a graphics processor and high speed bus to offer a complete chipset. Of course, we won't really know how the Ontario chipset compares with existing technology such as Intel's Atom or ULV platforms or the AMD Neo chips available today until the new chips are released early next year. And by that time, Intel will likely have launched its next-generation Oak Trail platform for mobile devices. The march of progress never stops.
Whats the TDP of these chips? Thats the defining factor here, right?
After about 15 years of trying to get the fastest cpu for my money, I am know doing an about face. I really like the low power cpu's and both my main computers run them. They are powerful enough for most takes and I can see the difference in my light bill. I am trying to be green, it is important an besides I have not seen anything new in the high end cpu's past dual core. Intel has the atom but could do much more but prfit is there main motive.AMD will be the winner in the low power and decent running cpu. They already are with the ATI 4330 graphics adapter.
ARM already does low power designs, and Intel (with Moorestown design) will be doing it too. AMD is just joining the movement to low power. However, should not be just the focus of mobile devices, but also netbooks, notebooks, desktops, etc (including servers) as well.

PART TWO—The Castrating Shadow of Saint Garta
My previous post, digesting the first part of Kundera's Testaments Betrayed, was concerned with how crucial ambiguity and the suspension of moral judgement are to the continued relevance of the novel. In this, humour played a key role, of course. You can read that post here. This post is centred upon Franz Kafka's contributions to the ongoing history of the novel—and on literary history's attempts to efface those contributions by romanticizing them…
Max Brod both curated and grossly distorted the legacy of his friend, Franz Kafka, whom he depicted, in his execrable 1926 "cartoon novel", The Enchanted Kingdom of Love (Zauberreich der Liebe), as a "saint of our time" (36). To Brod, it is not Kafka's art that matters, but his exemplary life, in other words: "'he wanted to live in perfect purity, '" Brod writes of the roman-a-clef's hero Garta/Kafka(37), and was "nearly a mythological figure himself".
Now, it is only because of Brod that we know of Kafka's work at all: he brought out all of his friend's unpublished books, and tirelessly worked to establish his reputation, penning four critical works on him between 1937 and 1959 (38). Throughout, Kafka is depicted as
"the religious thinker, der religiose Denker. True, he "never systematically set out his philosophy and his religious world view. Nonetheless, we can deduce rather clear fundamentals from his work, from his aphorisms especially but also from his poetry, his letters, his diaries, and then also from his way of life (from that above all). . . ."
In the aphorisms especially, we glimpse above all a moral vision, and a warning of the "punishments" to be suffered by those "'who do not follow the path of righteousness'" that Kafka models for us (39). It is not art which matters, but his moral example:
Note the hierarchy: at the top: Kafka's life as an example to be followed; in the middle: the aphorisms, that is, all the meditative "philosophical" passages in his diaries; at the bottom: the narrative works.
Brod is not being deliberately misleading, and is no dummy, but in spite of having written twenty novels himself displays a complete misunderstanding of the nature of modern art—and thus, of his friend's genius.
Brod's trailblazing has unfortunately thus created a phenomenon which Kundera labels "Kafkology" (40), an entire academic industry devoted not to Kafka's artistic vision (to be encountered in the works themselves, but to a grossly distorted abstraction he calls "Kafkologized Kafka" (to be found in his life, letters, and his "think[ing]"(41)). Kafkology can be analysed into several facets:
"Following Brod's example, Kafkology examines Kafka's books not in the large context of literary history (the history of the European novel) but almost exclusively in the microcontext of biography." His books are somehow "'not separable from his person'" . Kafka is Josheph K, Gregor Samsa, etc., in other words, and the key thing is to come to understand not Kafka the artist, but Kafka the person.
"Biography becomes hagiography" (41). Kafka is made into some kind of saint (religious, leftist, etc.)
"Kafkology systematically dislodges Kafka from the domain of aesthetics": his alleged philosophy, his letters, his diaries thus all become of primary importance, the novels far less so.
"Kafkology ignores the existence of modern art"(42), as if the context in which Kafka's art developed was irrelevant or even detrimental to understanding him.
"Kafkology is not literary criticism […but] exegesis: his work is to be treated as analogical or allegorical. Literary criticism would deal with his work in terms of aesthetic context and innovation, and as the imaginative transformation of reality, but Kafkology "decodes religious messages, [and] deciphers philosophical parables."
Furthermore, Because Brod's attitude to his friend's work was primarily religious in nature, he bowdlerizes Kafka's treatment of sex and the body, and sees him as the ascetic, impotent, feeble "saint of the twisted"(43). And while 19C portayed sex, if at all, filtered though a haze of romantic passion, Kafka's work shows sex to be tragicomically "trivial" and "ridiculous" (and yet also "exuberant", as opposed to downplaying it entirely or, with D.H. Lawrence, making a profane kind religion out of it by "lyricizing" it. This is particularly true in his novel Amerika, whose heroine Brunelda shows just how hilariously and "morbidly alluring" and grotesque the human body is, all at once (46). Sex is not, with Brod, "a 'symbol of feeling'", but exists "on the borderline between the repugnant and the exciting".
Kundera is always fascinated with borderlines of course (see The Unbearable Lightness of Being, where he admits that all of his characters have traversed some border which he himself has kept behind), and here it is no different: sex, too, is an existential enigma with its own borderlines, and Kafka
unveiled the existential aspects of sex: sex in conflict with love; the strangeness of the other as a condition, a requirement, of sex; the ambiguous nature of sex: those aspects that are exciting and simultaneously repugnant; its terrible triviality, which in no way lessens its frightening power, etc. (44)
This is also true in The Castle, where K and Frieda copulate "behind the bar, 'among the beer puddles and the other filth covering the floor'"(47). But sex is not only ridiculous and animalistic, it is also poetic. Kafka soon continues:
"There hours went by, hours of mutual breaths, of mutual heartbeats, hours in which K. continually had the feeling that he was going astray, or that he was farther inside the strange world than any person before him, in a strange world where the very air had in it no element of his native air, where one must suffocate from strangeness and where, in the midst of absurd enticements, one could do nothing but keep going, keep going astray."
In fact, what Kafka had already achieved in his novels is exactly what surrealists like André Breton complained that bourgeois realist novels (with their obsession with sensory and psychological verisimilitude) were incapable of: a "'fusion of dream and reality'" (48). When an artist like Kafka has such a "density of imagination", reality is suddenly illuminated by the unexpected encounters of unlike things (as in a dream). In a stunningly bizzare chapter of The Castle, Kafka continually disorients the reader with strange interruptions to the couple's amours, only to reveal at the end that two official assistants had been voyeuristically and bureaucratically spying upon their adventure the whole time: smutty promiscuity and the bureaucratic nightmare are conjoined, and what this reveals to us (the strange reality of our own modern world) is only possible because Kafka has "[broken] through the plausibility barrier" (51)
Not in order to escape the real world (the way the Romantics did) but to apprehend it better. Because apprehending the real world is part of the definition of the novel: but how to both apprehend it and at the same time engage in an enchanting game of fantasy? How be rigorous in analyzing the world and at the same time be irresponsibly free at playful reveries? How bring these two incompatible purposes together? Kafka managed to solve this enormous puzzle. He cut a breach in the wall of plausibility; the breach through which many others followed him, each in his own way: Fellini, Marquez, Fuentes, Rushdie. And others, others.

Hey guys! So last night the Hubs took me by surprise and picked up ingredients for and found a recipe to cook my favorite dish together, linguini and clams in white wine sauce. I have always loved this Italian favorite, ever since I was little. It also happens to be one of my dad's favorites, which is probably how I fell so in love with it. I have always been a bit intimidated to make this on my own, but luckily my knight in shining armor was with me in the kitchen to help me out. I must say this recipe had quite a few steps, but everything ended up going very smoothly and tasted divine. This is the perfect date night in food and a blast to cook with someone else. Its also a bit out of the ordinary if you are trying to impress that special someone. I hope you enjoy our rendition of Chef Anne Burrell of Food Network's Linguini with White Clam Sauce.
Was your clams well in cold water and set aside. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Coat the pan with half of your olive oil and add five of your smashed garlic cloves to the pan. Cook the garlic until it is golden brown and becomes aromatic, then remove from the pan and set aside. Add one dozen of your clams, your water, and your white wine to the same saute pan and cover. Boil over medium high heat until all clams open (about ten minutes). Remove the clams from your pan and reduce your pan liquid (about an additional five minutes). Once liquid has reduced, transfer it to a glass bowl. Allow your first round of clams to cool slightly and then remove from the shells and set aside.
Return your saute pan to the heat and add the remaining olive oil and garlic. Repeat the browning process once again, and remove the toasted cloves.
Add the remaining clams as well as the reduced clam liquid to your pan, making sure not to add any sand or settlements that have sank to the bottom of the bowl when cooling (you may loose some liquid because of this and that is fine). Again, cover the clams and cook until all shells open. Also, add your pasta to the boiling water and cook as the package instructs. Drain pasta and set aside.
Remove the clams from the pan once they have opened, but this time leave them inside the shell. Add your butter to the pan as well as your red pepper flakes, a pinch of salt (very little salt us needed) and a few of your garlic cloves. Add the de-shelled clams back to the pan and toss with the sauce to warm. Add your pasta to the pan as well as most of your cheese and parsley (leave some for garnish). Toss until pasta is well coated, then add the clams in their shells to the pan. Give a few more quick tosses then remove from the heat and pour into a bowl. Garnish with the remaining cheese and parsley, serve and enjoy!


Josh Einiger reports from Perth Amboy.
PERTH AMBOY, New Jersey (WABC) -- Two children fell when a railing gave way on a second floor balcony of a building in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Tragically, one child was killed and another was injured.
It happened after 5 p.m. on Brighton Avenue.
"It's a tragic accident," said Andrew Carey, Middlesex County Prosecutor.
Police spent all night taking measure of this tragedy. It is such a difficult case that one officer, who was among the first on the scene, was himself overwhelmed.
It happened after school on this quiet residential block by the Raritan River.
Investigators say the 9-year-old boy who lives there was playing with a 13-year-old friend from down the block. Adults were inside, and the kids were on the balcony.
"The railing did give way. I can't give a reason why it gave way, but it looked like the two boys were on the balcony together, in a playful manner, and the balcony gave way," Carey said.
Paramedics rushed both boys to the hospital but doctors could do nothing to save the 9 year old, a student at nearby Wilentz Elementary School.
Detectives are trying to figure out what went wrong.
"At this point this incident looks like a tragic accident, there is no indication of criminality, we will complete our investigation to make sure that's the case," Carey said.
But whatever they conclude won't really have much impact on the worst night of a family's life.


It isn't summer until you have had watermelon!! It is one of my favorite things to have all summer long. I love adding it to salads like my Watermelon Feta Salad with Mint and Basil, and even as dessert. When I went to summer camp as a kid, my friends and I would put watermelon seeds on our foreheads and each one would be the name of a boy at summer camp, and which ever one didn't fall off would be the boy we were going to marry. Needless to say, I didn't marry any of the boys I went to summer camp with, BUT I will always think of that when I think of watermelon.
Watermelon plays a role in so many people's summertime memories, so why not make it extra fun by adding chocolate and sprinkles. I am also in love with watermelon seeds! I know it sounds weird, but Go Raw has sprouted watermelon seeds that are packed with protein, and have a great crunch to them. I figured it was only appropriate to add them to my chocolate dipped watermelon. They have a touch of salt, which is nice with watermelon and chocolate.
I feel like you can add chocolate to anything and it will taste amazing. So there is something spectacular that happens when you add coconut oil to chocolate chips. It makes the chocolate smoother and easy to pour, but it also allows it to harden nicely. When the chocolate mixed with coconut oil gets poured over something very cold like the watermelon it hardens! It's like the magic shell that you get at Dairy Queen!!
*If you want the watermelon to stand up, make sure to cut the bottom of the triangle to make it flat.
*Place the watermelon in the fridge or freezer before dipping to make sure it is very cold before coating it with chocolate.
*It helps to use a spatula pour the chocolate over the watermelon. This will help to prevent the chocolate from seizing up. If too much of the juice from the watermelon gets in the chocolate, then it will make the chocolate clumpy.
*Add the toppings into the chocolate covered watermelon right after you pour the chocolate onto the watermelon.
*Place the watermelon back into the fridge to harden up! If you don't want the watermelon to stand, then you can place it on a sheet lined with waxed paper.
toppings like sprinkles, nuts, watermelon seeds, etc.

We often get screening questions from people who have clients who can't do a test because of a physical limitation. For example, there was a man on my Facebook page who asked about this; he couldn't do the rotary stability test because his stomach got in the way.
What if someone is missing an arm? What if somebody has a deformity? What if somebody has a large, protruding belly and is unable to do one of the tests?
Let me make it really simple: You're the professional. Modify the program, not the screen.
This means don't obsess on adjusting a score. If somebody can't do the quadruped diagonal pattern because the belly is in the way or because the upper body is too tight, it doesn't matter. The score is the score. The screen is blind.
The screen only says a person cannot move in a pattern. The reason doesn't matter on the screen, but it should matter in your programming. Modify your programming with the things you know that none of the rest of us can know about your client.
We go into this in great detail in the forthcoming Future of Exercise Programming DVD Lee and I shot with Alwyn Cosgrove. The DVD is due out in October.
You are the professional on the ground, and you need to work with the information available to you. You can choose to attack one of the patterns the screen exposes to be deficient, or choose not to. Don't keep trying to modify the screen or make the screen see things it wasn't designed to see.
The reason we screen is we're going to be giving exercise suggestions. If your quadruped diagonal pattern is limited by your belly and mine is limited by my flexibility, let's agree that if the pattern looks like any of the exercises we're planning, there's probably going to be a lot of compensation.
The reason you compensate or have difficulty doesn't matter at the screening stage.
Don't try to modify the screen or throw people scores they don't deserve. The reason they may not be able to change that score could be a structural problem, or something else. Let the screen expose the movement profile. Let it be what it is, and modify your programming to match.
I see patients with certain movement patterns that, because I have knowledge outside of the screen, I may choose to ignore one of the patterns. I continually check to see if it changes, but there may be a total joint replacement, a previous surgery or another reason for limited potential of improvement in one pattern.
We have personal trainers working with clients who have had strokes. These people are often considered disabled in some way, especially if they have an assistive device or walk with a serious gait deviation. You're welcome to screen on them. What are the first two tests we do? Active straight leg raise and shoulder mobility. You may not want to do anything more than that.
When we have an evaluation that has been done for a medical limitation or a structural abnormality, it trumps whatever the movement screen says. If the movement screen in some way disagrees with a medical diagnosis or evaluation, there's a good chance you used the screen inappropriately.
Most people who are severely limited yet wish to exercise or participate in an activity are going to have difficulty just getting a score of '2' on the active straight leg raise or shoulder mobility. You have plenty of programming right there. You don't need to take a stroke client through a deep squat. It's not even close to the weakest link.
Don't expect a test to modify itself to every situation. You choose and modify the programming to accommodate the other information you should collect in addition to the movement screen.
Now let's consider the next question we usually get: How important are body proportions as a factor?
Let's use the example of the overhead squat. Maybe the way one person is built, he needs more ankle flexion and has more of a forward lean in the deep squat than another person. Because he leans forward more at the hip, he wants to know if he needs more thoracic extension or more shoulder flexibility to keep the bar over his feet.
This is where the person asks if we can cut a little slack if the stick isn't over his feet or if his upper arms are over his ears. Is the screen self-adjusting or does he just have to work a little harder?
Look, I cut no slack, but just to make things fair, I don't cut myself any slack either.
I'm always going to struggle with a perfect overhead squat. I'm 6'4" and weigh 250 pounds. I've broken both ankles twice. I'm pretty long-legged compared to torso length. If I invented the screen and I'm not going to cut myself any slack, I'm sure not going to dole it out to anybody else.
Here's what I will tell you… again: It's simply a screen.
This is probably most important point you'll ever get from me when it comes to the Functional Movement Screen. There's perfection; there's imperfection; there's dysfunction.
A score of '3' on the movement screen demonstrates close to perfection. I would want to use you for a textbook demonstration of what this pattern looks like at its best.
Continue working on it because if I were able to improve the deep squat at all, you have to admit there's room for improvement. Letting you blame 100% of your lack of overhead squatting ability on your proportions in anatomy absolves you from exploring corrective strategy and trying to improve it.
Will I be able to promote you as the best overhead squatter at Cirque du Soleil in Vegas? Probably not. Would you have about 25% improvement potential if you were to do some of the corrective strategies? Maybe!
But don't obsess over that squat if you don't have '2s' on everything and no asymmetries anywhere in the screen. The squat problem is demonstrated further down the developmental chain, maybe in your active straight leg raise or thoracic spine mobility. Many people want to peg a '3' on the squat without preparing the body for the squat.
The squat is the last thing that we fix.
Finally, we come to dysfunction. That means you have a '1' somewhere on the screen.
If you get imperfection across the board on the Functional Movement Screen, I don't consider you dysfunctional. Don't consider '2s' as failure. A '2' is average. Because of your proportions, training and previous injuries, a '2' may be the pinnacle you'll reach.
However, if you have a '1,' that's dysfunction. Whether you have a lot of excuses or none, it's a potential risk factor even if you do exercises perfectly.
Let's recap. You don't have to be perfect on everything. You can be imperfect and still not be at an elevated risk of injury.
Then there's dysfunction. There are too many people splitting hairs about perfection versus imperfection while dysfunction walks by and gets on the pec-dec at the gym.
The people who need your help the most, the people who train and are still obese, and the people who work hard and still get injured are probably walking around with a couple of '1s' on their movement screens. They haven't met the person who cares enough to intervene.
You have some imperfections in your overhead squat. My first thought is I bet it's not your only imperfection. Look at the rest of your screen, honestly look. See where you have asymmetries and dysfunctions and clean those up to '2s on everything with no asymmetries before you squat.
Then start working on your squat. If you improve it 25%, you can't blame anatomy and proportions for a poor score. You had some room for improvement, which is my whole point. Will you ever achieve perfection? No, it's not even possible—what is perfection in movement? But there's probably room for improvement.
There is enough of a buffer zone built into these tests that allow for body proportions such as a longer-than-average femur length. There are enough other segments that can do a little more or a little less elsewhere in the body.
Remember, the American Medical Association has produced goniometric measurements referring to the degrees each of the joints should move. Not one test on the Functional Movement Screen asks more than that.
Most of the debates people get into about the Functional Movement Screen are about perfection and imperfection, while dysfunction gooses through everywhere. Check for a dysfunction first and you'll be a better trainer.
I could split hairs in the gym all day long and not make a difference. Once I started following the FMS model, I could change lives. It's the most rewarding thing in the world.
Lee and I go into this in great detail in our two-day Perform Better FMS Workshops, coming up in Rhode Island, Los Angeles, Chicago and Charlotte, NC.
You can also learn on your own by reading Movement. In fact, I encourage you to read Movement before attending an FMS workshop. You'll get more out of it.
I also talk about this topic in the new audio lecture, The Three Rs, available on movementlectures.com.
Awesome, Gray. I attended the Summit in Providence in June. Would LOVE TO START implementing the FMS at my high school, but really need to read Movement first, then attend the two-day seminar. Would love to go in Sept in Providence, but WORST time to get out of work. Great stuff, though. Already changed how I approach injuries/prevention.
Thanks for this. Nice to know that there are more and more PT's out there who care enough to treat chronic disability/deformity rather than tweaking the data to pretend it doesn't exist.

So if beating the market is so easy -- buy low beta stocks with momentum, and hold on -- then why do you say that alpha is so hard to find? "See, beating the market is no problem, just follow these simple steps. And by the way, if you don't have any inside info, forget it, almost nobody beats the market."
Huh? So which is it?
making a couple percent extra by avoiding Black Swans is not a high profile strategy; it won't lead you to the top of a mutual fund winners list; it is not sufficient for a hedge fund strategy demanding a potential 1+ Sharpe. It's like index fund investing, which has Alpha relative to active management. A good idea, I think, but one most find unappealing (they are still only about 15% of equity funds).
It's alpha, but modest alpha. I think it would make an excellent scalable, long-only strategy, and would take any offer to manage such a strategy!
There was French cardinal by the name of de Retz who in the 17th century supposedly said/wrote:"Nothing sways the stupid more than arguments they can't understand". I think Taleb is the nihilistic Pied Piper of a bunch of folks who like the sound of what he is preaching but fundamentally have no idea what he is really saying.
So then you would advise selling the 2by1 out of the money put spreads that you suggest are poor investments. ie take the other side of the black swan trades that underperform over time. After all if this black swan strategy is a loser than it would be simple to do the opposite and find alpha, no?
A -0.2 Sharpe strategy like this, with high transaction costs, probably has a -0.1 cost taking the opposite side.
Isn't your story just another behavioral bias that you keep criticizing?
on a diff note, do u have any thoughts on the certifications like "Financial Risk Manager" (www.garp.com) & CFA?
Another claim by Taleb is that 'wild' risks from cocktail party chatter is especially useful.
Where does Taleb say this? How can this be conflated with those scams? His example is that you might get an idea for a paper by talking to someone at a party, not unlike say Brian Eno's "Oblique Strategies".
It is BECAUSE your comments and research shows black swan strategies are sucker strategies that they work! That's the irony of the black swans.
To be an empiricist, I don't think we can know if black swan strategies "work" (whatever "work" means). They profit from tail events, and by definition there aren't many of those, so we don't have enough data to tell. My guess is that, like any other strategy, it depends.

The Power of Police, Protesters and Cell Phone Video
by Dave Roos
This photo of protesters was taken after police officers arrested a bystander following the shootings in Dallas on July 7, 2016. LAURA BUCKMAN/AFP/Getty Images
The tragic killings this week in Louisiana and Minnesota have contributed more gut-wrenching eyewitness video footage to the ongoing public documentary of police brutality in America.
These latest disturbing bystander videos — shared and streamed across social media and replayed incessantly on TV — add the names Alton Sterling and Philando Castile to the litany of black and brown men and boys killed at the hands of the police and immortalized in YouTube clips: Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Walter Scott, Freddie Gray and more.
And now we have Dallas. Five police officers dead, more critically wounded, gunned down by a sniper who professed anger over the recent spate of police killings and took up arms in revenge.
With the Dallas shooter dead, we'll never know the full extent to which he was enraged and motivated by the graphic video depictions of police killing unarmed black men. But it's hard to overestimate the influence that cell phone video has made in mobilizing millions of Americans to rally against issues of police brutality within black and brown communities.
Jackie Zammuto is senior engagement coordinator with WITNESS, an international organization dedicated to training citizens in how to use video to expose human rights violations, including police brutality. She says that nothing compares to video's power to engage the public.
"Video has the ability to expose injustices in a way that simple words or testimony can't," Zammuto says. "These recent videos have mobilized people in a way that we haven't seen before. It's in your face; you can't deny that this is happening. It's not just one bad apple in the police department. So often, the communities that are targeted with police violence are also discredited when they do provide testimony or eyewitness accounts. Video is another way to back up what many communities know has been going on for decades."
In the Walter Scott case, for example, South Carolina police officer Michael Slager wrote a police report alleging that Scott grabbed the officer's Taser and was running at him at the time of the shooting. Before the advent of cell phone video, the truth would have been buried along with Scott. But thanks to bystander Feidin Santana, who released his cell phone video the next day to Scott's family and to the police after that, the footage clearly showed Scott running away from Slager when the officer put eight bullets into the victim's back. Slager now faces state murder charges and a federal civil rights indictment.
But cell phone videos of police shootings and killings don't always result in convictions. Eric Garner's attacker, who used a banned chokehold to subdue and ultimately kill the unarmed man, was never indicted. Michael Brown's shooter in Ferguson also was cleared of charges. Even the notorious video footage of the 1991 Rodney King beating failed to result in a conviction.
"They actually used the video frame-by-frame to say that Rodney King was attacking the officers," says Zammuto. "There's an interesting psychological phenomena that in many cases video only supports what people already believe. If somebody already believes that a black man is a perpetrator or a threat, they're likely to continue seeing him that way no matter what."
Of course, video may not tell the whole story either. It may not show the whole sequence of events, and it may not capture all of the people involved.
While the rash of recent police brutality videos is certainly disturbing, it's important to recognize that such killings are not new. The FBI is charged with keeping stats on justifiable homicide — the "killing of a felon by a law enforcement officer in the line of duty" — but those numbers are incomplete and don't take into account nonfatal injuries. The need to better track such incidents, though, has become a bigger priority.
Meanwhile, the best unofficial estimates we have are that police shoot and kill nearly 1,000 Americans a year, or roughly three a day, and that number has remained stable over the past few years. In cities like New York and Los Angeles, police shootings have actually dropped dramatically over the past decades.
"That data suggests that any perception that higher numbers of unarmed African-Americans are being killed by the police in recent months is driven by citizens' postings of unsettling cellphone videos and pictures," wrote The New York Times in 2015.
Which brings us back to the Dallas shooter. How much of his anger was fueled by the near-continuous cable TV loop of the violent last minutes of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile?
"There's no question that there's a value in that video being made public, but to the extent that it gets replayed and rewatched is not just doing a disservice to the public who is being barraged with this information," Zammuto says, "but of course to the families and the victims themselves who are being re-traumatized every time they have to watch their loved one die over and over again."
One of the active projects at WITNESS is to train journalists and media outlets on the safe and ethical handling of violent, politically charged or highly sensitive video footage.

Bring friends/family with you for a special Pembrokeshire break in one of our cosy cottages. Book one week for touring caravan and the same week for self-catering cottage and get £50.00 off cottage booking. Check it out on our web site. Subject to availability.
This family run park, set in nine acres, has 36 hardstanding pitches, and welcomes guests in touring caravans, motorhomes and trailer tents, however tents are not permitted. Every pitch has an electric hook-up (either 10A or 16A) and grey water waste disposal. Drainage tubes are also available to get grey waste from your caravan or motorhome into the drain without emptying waste water containers.
Secure, year-round caravan storage is also offered here – and they'll pitch your caravan for you, so it's ready and waiting for you when you arrive.
If you've not got your own accommodation, there are also two self catering cottages at Stone Pitt. Each holiday cottage sleeps four, in a double room and a twin room, plus there's a shower room, a well equipped kitchen and a large decking area which leads out to a shared garden. Well behaved pets are allowed in these holiday cottages in Wales.
There are also 28 static, privately owned caravans on site.
Facilities at Stone Pitt Holiday Park include a toilet and shower block with access for disabled guests, a place to do your washing up, a laundry with washing machines and tumble dryers, an ice pack freezing service, a children's play area and Wi-Fi. This is also a dog friendly campsite, but owners must keep their dogs on a lead, keep them under control and clean up after them – and there's a dog walking area on site. And for your peace of mind, there's 24-hour CCTV and a key fob security system.
If you're spending your motorhome and caravan holidays in Pembrokeshire and are pitched at Stone Pitt, you'll get a warm welcome from Claire Morris and her friendly, helpful team – they know a lot about the local area, so can give you plenty of top tips. This campsite is in the village of Begelly. If you fancy a night off cooking, why not head to the Begelly Arms, about a 15-minute walk – or two-minute drive – from site. There's also a Co-op in the village, which is handy for topping up your holiday supplies.
Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo, which is one of the top tourist attractions in Wales and is less than a mile from Stone Pitt Holiday Park – it is a fantastic day out for the whole family.
This caravan site is about a 15-minute drive from the well known seaside town of Tenby. Near here you'll find plenty more things to do on your holidays in Wales, such as Manor House Wild Animal Park which is a 10-minute drive from Stone Pitt Holiday Park, and Tenby's Dinosaur Park which is around a quarter of an hour from this site by car.
Many of the beaches for which south Wales is famous are also easily accessible from this campsite. Of course there's Tenby, but in 10 minutes you could also be at Saundersfoot Beach (and harbour), while Pendine Sands is about a half hour drive from this campsite.
If you're holidaying in Pembrokeshire, why not visit Pembroke itself. Take time to enjoy the medieval castle, Lamphey Bishop's Palace and maybe enjoy a meal out, all within about 20 minutes of Stone Pitt Holiday Park.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is also well worth exploring if you're spending time in this south west corner of Wales. It's a diverse, magnificent region, full of natural beauty and fun things to do, from walking, cycling, picnicking and rock pooling, to surfing, climbing, diving, caving, kayaking, rowing and much more.
Take M4 motorway into Wales.
At the end of the motorway take A40 towards Carmarthen, then head towards Pembroke. At St Clears take the A477 towards Pembroke.After approx 5 miles turn right at the roundabout onto the A478 towards Narberth. We are approx 1/2 mile after the roundabout on the left.
We are within easy reach of all the wonderful attractions that this part of Pembrokeshire has to offer.
Tenby, Saundersfoot, Wisemans Bridge and Amroth all within a 5 mile radius, all with excellent beaches and historic culture. For the more adventurouse Heatherton, Oakwood theme park, The Dinosaur Park and Folly Farm are within easy reach.

Passengers on a recent flight had to wait while there was a Dog using the lav, which has led to a rough discussion about what a dog should be fed before embarking on a flight — or whether or not there should even be a clause about pets being allowed in the passenger cabin at all instead of being caged in the cargo hold.
Was this tale due to a lapse of judgment on the part of the dog owner, who probably should pause before bringing the possibly incontinent pet on a future flight?
Can you predict with absolute certainty whether or not you will have to go to the bathroom during a particular period? I thought not. So how can a dog-owner? I would rather confine children to the hold of the plane, than dogs who almost never disturb a flight.

Q: drupal 6: how to write a query to insert into the content type I have created a content type named history
when ever users want to opens specific page the content history should be inserted with new row.
I'm using rules but stucked with query.
I have written a simple query to insert the data it even works but the problem when I fetch the data in view it doesn't show up.

A: Can't the Statistics module help you? "It counts how many times, and from where each of your posts is viewed".

A: Hmm, seems a bit strange to use a content type for your viewing history, but I'll go with it. So you want history to have a new node created whenever a certain page is viewed, right? You're going to have to use a custom module for this.
You could write a module that implements hook_init() to do something like:
<?php
    MODULENAME_init() {
        if (drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']) == 'the_path_alias_of_your_page') {
            // create your node here, see http://api.drupal.org/api/function/node_submit/6 for example
            // then save it using node_save($node)
        }
    }

Obviously that's really rough, but it'll get you started.
Are you sure you can't just use Google Analytics or the like?

A: Don't good way to create content type for logs. Just create simple table with columns:
nid (node id), visited (datetime of visit), uid (user id, for guests = 0)
In your module add this:

/**
 * Implementation of hook_exit().
 */
function YOURMODULENAME_exit() {
  drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_PATH);

  if ((arg(0) == 'node') && is_numeric(arg(1)) && (!arg(2))) {
    global $user;
    $node = node_load(arg(1));
    if (in_array($node->type, array('some_content_types'))) {
      db_query('INSERT INTO {somelogtable} VALUES(%d, %d, %d)', $node->nid, time(), $user->uid);
    }
  }
}

And somewhere you can show listing of this nodes.
For more example. look statistics module as sayed above.

Carrington revealed Abacha would arrest me and offer me asylum in the US – Obasanjo
August 18, 2020 Ontopnaija Entertainment 0
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed how the late former US Ambassador to Nigeria Walter Carrington offered him political asylum in the United States in 1995 while General Sani Abacha was in power.
Obasanjo has revealed that he turned down the offer of asylum, despite his tempting and reassuring details.
He said that during Carrington's tenure, the late envoy helped Nigeria ease the transition to democratic rule that had lasted for more than a decade.
The Owu-born leader said that at this time the country had gone through a culture of arbitrariness, gross human rights violations and disregard for the rule of law.
Obasanjo recounted this on Tuesday in a letter of condolence to the late Ambassador's wife, Arese Carrington.
The former Nigerian leader said Carrington was one of the responsible, mature and respected voices who pulled Nigeria out of an "unhealthy situation".
He listed them as permanent crises, threats of disintegration, a prolonged absence of democracy and a plundered economy.
Obasanjo recalled: "At one point in 1995, during one of my trips to Copenhagen to attend the World Social Summit as the Human Development Ambassador for the United Nations Development Program, I received the warnings , the most touching tips and offers from Amb. Carrington. He called me in Copenhagen and told me categorically that I was going to be arrested when I got home and therefore advised me not to go home.
"But he didn't stop there, he offered me political asylum through his government in the United States. It was touching and reassuring at the same time, but I decided that, as tempting and reassuring as the offer was, I wouldn't take it. I returned and was arrested and imprisoned by Abacha. No doubt his generous help to my family while I was a political prisoner makes me forever indebted to him. When I was in prison, he was one of the few foreign ambassadors who regularly visited my wife to encourage her and to find out how I was in prison.
"I can say with pride that he was a true friend and a true brother. He came to Nigeria with love, ate and drank Nigerian delicacies and drinks, showed a significant display of unity as he walked down the aisle to tie the nuptial knot outside of nationality limits with one of our illustrious daughters and that is you, and he was loved and appreciated by the people by giving her a Yoruba name "Omowale" and by giving his name to a street on Victoria Island, Lagos.
"I have always known Amb. Carrington to carry out his duties with panache and grace as he tackled the most complex international crises. He played a key role in updating the goals of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria for which Nigeria has benefited from the support of the Gates Foundation which made funds available that could be used for support its AIDS program in 2000. Its work, values and principles have had and will continue to have tremendous influence and impact in Africa and beyond.
"It is right that people around the world at this time have generously praised your late husband. So I use this medium to add my voice to theirs by acknowledging his exceptional commitment and dedication to the advancement of humanity. We celebrate his life well spent in the service of humanity and we will continue to project his principles and values by contributing to the governance, security and sustainable development of the African continent. His legacy will live on and continue to touch many lives and generations to come.
"Indeed, it thrills my heart to know not only Nigeria and Africa, but many countries around the world had a friend in him. Life is not about how much time you spend but how you live to serve humanity, Amb. Carrington has lived well and successfully making unique contributions to making the world a better place than he has encountered. I pray that the Almighty will grant you and all members of his family the courage to endure this irreparable loss. May her sweet soul rest in perfect peace.

'Disrupted' Sleep Could Be Seriously Affecting Your Health
How to Make Sure Everyone Gets a Fair Shot at the COVID-19 Vaccine
Long-Haul COVID Risks Rise With Severity
/ Drugs
By Serena Gordon
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, June 17, 2020 (HealthDay News) — Caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease comes with daily challenges and disruptions, and those have only increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to the risk of infection, contact with your loved one may now be off-limits or severely restricted. Caregivers probably need to wear masks, which may be confusing to someone with Alzheimer's. And, if your loved one gets sick, how do you deal with a doctor's office visit?
These were just some of the topics covered Tuesday at the Alzheimer's Foundation of America's "Educating America Tour" in New York City, where TV's Dr. Mehmet Oz talked about his mother's Alzheimer's disease.
"Her name is Suna. She came from a respected family in Turkey. She was married to my dad for 60 years. We would joke that my mom would run the world from her living room," Oz recalled fondly.
After his mother had a small stroke, he noticed that her behavior changed a bit. What Oz didn't realize at the time was how much his father had done to compensate for his mother's shortcomings.
"My dad was there, finishing her sentences, covering for her. Then my dad developed a problem, and we lost him last year. The crutch my mother leaned on wasn't there anymore," he said.
Suddenly, Oz said, her problems became more obvious. The family noticed unusual moods and behaviors.
"She was arguing about everything. She wasn't dressing right. Her makeup wasn't right. We finally put the pieces together," he said.
Oz then acknowledged the harsh reality that so many Alzheimer's caregivers face.
"I will lose my mom twice. She is no longer the same person I grew up with," he said. "Alzheimer's is not just losing memory, you lose your identity. It is a stunning challenge."
It's a challenge many families face. About 6 million people in the United States have Alzheimer's disease, said Charles Fuschillo, president of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. The foundation is teaming up with several major pharmaceutical companies to sponsor caregiver training sessions across the country.
The effort is timely: Dr. Allison Reiss, head of the inflammation lab at NYU Winthrop Hospital in Mineola, N.Y., noted that the challenge of Alzheimer's is being complicated by coronavirus concerns.
Reiss said that it's important for caregivers to realize that the vast majority — 85% — of people over 80 will survive a bout of COVID-19. While it's important to take steps to prevent it, Reiss said people need to know an infection won't always lead to serious complications or death, even for the elderly.
If you suspect your loved one with Alzheimer's might have COVID-19, Reiss recommended trying to get help from a distance, through telemedicine. Most primary care offices offer appointments via phone or internet, and addressing health concerns remotely, while your loved one is in their everyday environment will help head off anxiety, confusion and agitation.
Telemedicine can also be used for non-COVID-19 concerns, too — both for physical and mental health.
There are also online virtual support groups and activities for people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers, Reiss added.
If your loved one has caregivers who come into the home, be sure they check their temperature before coming inside. "If it's over 99.5 Fahrenheit, they're excluded from providing care," Reiss said.
Those with a normal temperature should wash their hands thoroughly upon entering the home and wear a mask. If possible, care should take place outdoors, she said.
Nancy Lorince is owner and managing director of ComForCare Home Care in Somerset County, N.J.
She said masks can be hard for people with dementia, because they can't see their caregiver's expressions, and miss the emotional cues they provide. Still, Lorince said, it's important for caregivers to wear masks. "Dementia suppresses the immune system," she explained.
It's also important to discourage your loved one from touching their face, Reiss said.
As states reopen businesses and some activities, she recommended trying to maintain your routine and keep your loved one's environment calm.
Oz said it's important to take care of yourself, too. To try to prevent Alzheimer's disease himself, he eats a Mediterranean diet full of vegetables, fruits, nuts and olive oil, and he limits his intake of red meat. He told the audience that sleeping seven to eight hours a night is "the single most overlooked opportunity for health. During REM sleep the brains clears amyloid [a substance that builds up in the brains of people with dementia] and short-term memories are consolidated into long-term."
One of the first symptoms of Alzheimer's disease is __________________.

Maintaining a healthy weight and controlling cholesterol and blood pressure are other key steps to lower your risk.
"What you do right now matters," Oz said.
Staying social and avoiding loneliness play a role in preventing Alzheimer's disease, he added, and are beneficial for those who already have the condition.
One of Oz's biggest regrets is not recognizing his mother's mental decline sooner.
He said signs to watch out for include difficulty in creating plans, confusing time and place, trouble finding the right words. A person with Alzheimer's may use a word that's close in meaning, but it's not how they would normally have expressed themselves, he pointed out.

Timeline: First & Second Year
Timeline: Third & Fourth Year
Timeline: Fifth & Sixth Year
Every student in the first and second years of the program will submit a dossier that includes 1) a paper of their choosing and 2) the proseminar paper written that year. The proseminar paper submitted for the dossier will be submitted at the end of the second quarter of the proseminar at the deadline set by the proseminar instructor. The paper chosen by the student must be a paper submitted for a class taken toward degree requirements and written within the last year (for second year students, this includes spring quarter of their first year). It should be about 5000 to 10000 words in length, but papers written and submitted for philosophy seminars may fall outside this range. The version submitted for the dossier must be the same as the version turned in for the class. The department encourages students, especially those in the second year, to select a paper in their intended area of dissertation study, broadly construed.
Each of the qualifying papers from the first category will undergo double-blind evaluation by a committee of two faculty members chosen by the DGS. This committee will not include the faculty member who taught the course for which the paper was originally written.
All proseminar papers will undergo double-blind evaluation by a committee of two faculty members chosen by the DGS. This committee will not include the faculty member who taught the proseminar.
Each committee is confined to the grades of Pass, Fail, or Requires Department Review. The committee must assign a single grade. If the committee members disagree about the grades to be assigned to a paper, they will consult and attempt to resolve their disagreement. If they cannot resolve their disagreement, the Director of Graduate Studies will select another member of the Department to make the final determination.
In cases in which the student receives a grade of Pass or a grade of Fail on both of these papers, this grade will also be the grade for the dossier. In cases in which grades on the two papers do not match, or in which at least one of the papers receives a grade of Requires Department Review, the department will determine a grade for the dossier in the annual review meeting.
All papers submitted will receive written evaluations from the members of the committee who grade them. (These may take the form of comments written in the margins or at the end of the paper.)
In the student's year-end review, the quality of the dossier will receive special attention as an important component of a student's overall record. A passing grade on the second-year dossier will count as satisfying TGS's Qualifying Exam requirement.

In Magento version < 1.7.0.0-alpha1 it is not possible to empty a multiselect.
In the adminbackend in Magento is a bug, which prevents a multiselect to become empty.
A <select> element is not submited, if no option is selected. To submit a value you need to render a <input type="hidden" /> element before it. This way, the variable is set in $_GET or $_POST and may be overwritten by the <select>.
This <input type="hidden" /> is not rendered before Version 1.7.0.0-alpha1.

Q: how to merge values of python dict in a list of dictionaries i have a python list of dictionary as shown below:
mylist = [{'id':1,'value':4},{'id':1,'value':6},{'id':2,'value':6},{'id':3,'value':9},{'id':3,'value':56},{'id':3,'value':67},]

i am trying to create a new list of dictionaries like this by doing some operations on the above shown list of dictionaries
newlist = [{'id':1,'value':[4,6]},{'id':2,'value':[6]},{'id':3,'value':[9,56,67]}]

Does anyone know a good way to do this?

A: If list items are sorted by id, you can use itertools.groupby:
>>> mylist = [{'id':1,'value':4},{'id':1,'value':6},{'id':2,'value':6},{'id':3,'value':9},{'id':3,'value':56},{'id':3,'v    alue':67},]
>>> import itertools
>>> [{'id': key, 'value': [x['value'] for x in grp]}
...  for key, grp in itertools.groupby(mylist, key=lambda d: d['id'])]
[{'id': 1, 'value': [4, 6]},
 {'id': 2, 'value': [6]},
 {'id': 3, 'value': [9, 56, 67]}]

A: You can construct the entire the list of dictionaries as a single dictionary with multiple values, using defaultdict, like this
from collections import defaultdict
d = defaultdict(list)
for item in mylist:
    d[item['id']].append(item['value'])

And then using list comprehension, you can reconstruct the required list of dictionaries like this
print[{'id': key, 'value': d[key]} for key in d]
# [{'id':1, 'value':[4, 6]}, {'id':2, 'value':[6]}, {'id':3, 'value':[9,56,67]}]

A: You could also use dict comprehension:
newlist = {key: [entries[key] for entries in diclist] for key, value in diclist[0].items()}

I know we've not yet hit Easter, let alone Summer, but today is an important reminder for you all, regardless of your size or sector !!
How is your 3+9 forecast going? (i.e. your 3 months of actuals and 9 months of forecast).
Are you on track to hit your targets? By how much?
Are you below target? What are you planning to do to get back on track?
It's likely some of you won't have this information to hand, nor even know where to start (because you haven't actually started).
Some of you will know where to go to get the information from, will quickly review it, then bury it away again until November and hope for the best.
A few of you will know your current position. You'll either know there aren't any issues because the business hasn't alerted you to any, or, you may be behind, but you're aware of this and are taking action to catch up.
I'm tempted to bet my mortgage that it's unlikely your team members have been able to answer any of these questions.
For any business to understand where it is, it needs some kind of measures in place to determine how far on or off target it is. The business maxim from Peter Drucker, 'what gets measured, gets managed', is very true and will help you with key milestones.
Alerts – which are activities leading to outcomes such as leads or enquiries.
Alarms – the outputs themselves: profit, Gross margin, sales numbers.
We then have our Never Miss Target Tool; a rolling forecast plan. Having a 12-month static budget will consume a lot of your time, and by the time they're set, they're out of date!
A more effective approach is for you to have a rolling 12 month forecast plan that gets reviewed and updated every 13-weeks (in line with the routine and rhythm of your business).
3 + 9 forecast shows 3 months of actuals and 9 months of forecast.
6 + 6 shows 6 months of actuals and 6 months of forecast.
At each month end its good practice to track your performance against the forecast to see if you're on track.
As the year progresses, the forecast for the year should become more accurate the more it comprises actual months and fewer forecast months.
By making this routine, everyone will be united and focussed on the end goal.
And, you'll never miss target – you'll just run out of month!

The breakdown of the immune system is resulting in many chronic ailments of the 21st century. A response system known as immunomodulation can help support the immune system using biological co-factors along with specific nutrients and herbs. Immunomodulation is crucial for modifying the immune response to properly defeat infections in the body. One of the greatest immunomodulating weapons for the immune system is found in compounds called beta glucans.
A healthy immune response is triggered when infectious and foreign agents such as bacteria and viruses invade the human body. As a result, the immune system responds with key inflammatory markers designed to attack the site of infection while causing minimal damage to the rest of the body.
Decreased immunity and an overactive immune response can result when the body is overstimulated with real and perceived threats. This leads to a weakened immune system, and the individual will become more susceptible to the development of cancer and infections. Individuals with an overstimulated immune system also have an increased risk of chronic inflammatory conditions such as autoimmune disorders and asthma.
Beta glucans do not naturally occur within the body and need to be consumed from sources such as mushrooms and yeast. The polysaccharide compound beta glucan is comprised of sugar molecules joined together. Polysaccharides have the ability to carry biological data as a result of their supportive structural capacity. Branch-like structures result from polysaccharides joining together at several locations and the length and position of the beta glucan structure is referred to as Beta 1,3D glucan.
Beta glucans bind and help specific immune cells to achieve a well-coordinated attack on their targets. Scientists refer to beta glucans as "biological response modifiers." A modified response supports immunomodulation by preventing hyper inflammation and an autoimmune response.
The rapid growth of cancer in healthy individuals can over-activate an individual's immune system. Beta glucans bind and activate specific innate immune cells including macrophages, antibodies, and natural killer (NK) cells so that it can trigger an immune response. The ability of beta glucans to modify the attack of immune cells on invasive agents supports an efficient and stronger immune response.
Beta glucans prime immune cells to recognize complementary immune defense compounds. The antibody antigen response is coupled with beta glucan for a biologically synergistic response to kill cancer cells. The coupling of these two defense tools may even be a stronger therapy than chemotherapy or radiation. Furthermore, the ability of beta glucans to work in cooperation with antibody complexes poses no adverse health reactions as do conventional cancer treatments.
Beta glucans effectively stimulate an immune response from T-cells, NK cells, cytokines interleukin (IL) 1 and 2, as well as macrophages. Research supports the ability of beta glucans to reduce the growth rate of cancer cells all while stimulating a stronger immune response to foreign invaders.
Specifically, NK cells are crucial to inhibiting cancer growth and are solely responsible for detecting and controlling tumors. NK cells seek and destroy tumor growth.
Additionally, beta glucans stimulate the assembly of immune stem cells inside bone marrow. New immunocytes are released into the blood and varied lymphoid organs. This will increase the immune police work against potential invaders and improves the attack against cancer. This can be critical for individuals receiving conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation. These treatments make the body more susceptible to infection by decreasing circulating immune complexes and immunocytes.
Beta glucan also stimulates various cells within the body to unharness anti-cancer molecules throughout the body. These molecules can include interleukins 1 and 6, hydrogen peroxide, gamma interferon, and tumor necrosis factor which have been shown to fight cancer and stimulate a healthy immune response.
The Montana Center for Work Physiology and Exercise Metabolism released a report showing that beta glucans can mitigate the common cold and control tumor cell growth.
One of the most critical factors at preventing the development of chronic inflammatory disease and infection is a strong immune system. Beta glucan exhibits remarkable effects at both priming immune cells and coordinating a successful immune response.
Over 1,000 scientific articles have been published reporting the many biological benefits of beta glucan. Beta glucan is also one of the safest therapies available with immunostimulating and cancerostatic properties. Compared to traditional medical therapies, beta glucans are affordable and a safe alternative for preventing and healing cancer.
How Are Beta Glucans Harvested?
As was previously mentioned, beta glucans are not synthesized by the human body and must be consumed from available natural sources. Beta glucans are found in the cell walls of yeast which can naturally be extracted. Fermented foods and medicinal mushrooms are also excellent sources of beta glucans.
Studies show that an increased biological response and immunomodulation is best exhibited in insoluble beta glucan as opposed to its soluble form. Insoluble beta glucans are found in saccharomyces boulardii, brewer's yeast, and medicinal mushrooms including maitake, agaricus blazei murrill, and reishi. Indigestible soluble fibers from barley and oats contain beta glucans and exhibit and anti-inflammatory biological effects.
In order to improve immunomodulation (for the optimal health and function of the immune system) it is recommended that insoluble beta glucans be supplemented into your diet. If you fear your allergy to yeast may prevent you from taking beta glucan supplements, you shouldn't worry. The isolates found in beta glucan supplements have been separated from all possible proteins that may cause harm.
For best results it is recommended to take 500mg – one to two times daily and always outside of meal times.

Hi Jeannine Skead, my experience with obtaining Beta Glucan has been with a company called Better Way Health. There is a great deal of information on that website about the high quality of their products and I found the staff to be super knowledgeable about Beta 1, 3D Glucan and the dosages. I found out about them through one of the "Truth About Cancer" webinars. All the very best to you.
Thank you for the information. More people need to be educated about this. I have been taking supplements for over 25 years with emphasis in immune boosters and a clean gut. I have found the replacement of natural mushrooms (I do not like them:) it is call Immunizen, made by a company Unicity. The ingredients are so impressive I started taken them 1 year ago. I have not have a cold and my overall health is excellent at 69. I am oppose to vaccines so I take this supplement and I feel terrific. Thank you.
I learned about Beta Glucan and used it to get off my cholesterol Med's. I stayed on because I noticed I never seem to get colds anymore.
I'm so sorry to hear about your father – I'll be sure to pray for him.
My husband is fighting stage 4 NSC metastasized lung cancer(unspecified). Two days ago he had an immunotherapy treatment (Keytruda). I recently purchased Beta 1,3D Glucan and am wondering if he can safely take this to help enhance the immunotherapy treatment and future treatments.
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband – I'll be sure to pray for him.

CULT OF LUNA, RUSSIAN CIRCLES Join For European Tour
For 2023
No rest of the wicked, CULT OF LUNA have just released a 25-minute-video of their 2022 touring adventures. Check it out here: youtu.be/F18HFAp1jJk
The band will return to European venues in March, this time around co-headlining with the infamous RUSSIAN CIRCLES.
"Not knowing what to expect when we got out from our unexpected and involuntary hiatus, we were blown away by the numbers of people that came to see us. The love we received was truly moving and it felt like the tour just started when it was over. But time moves quickly and soon it's time to get out again. In these chaotic conditions that the world is in right now, we can't do much than trust in music as a rewarding constant. A tool of power and comfort. We hope to see you out there next year", says Johannes Persson.

For over two decades CULT OF LUNA have forged a sound incomparable to others - ambitious, epic, visceral, and drenched in emotion. Earlier this year CULT OF LUNA released their latest full-length; The Long Road North marks as a follow-up to last year's The Raging River EP. As is the case with every album from the band in recent years, there is a lot of shifting of dynamics and sonic density, and perhaps more so than usual on The Long Road North. "It's a big and cinematic sounding album. I think one of the reasons why we have been able to be so productive the last couple of years is that we have been consistently writing from the heart. We have let our instincts guide us, and I think it's getting clearer where we are heading," reveals vocalist/guitarist Johannes Persson, who has been one of the primary driving forces behind the band since their inception.
Persson continues, "The long road north is a long road home. A direction dictated by a call that penetrates rock and echoes through the forest. It flows over every lake, accelerated by the wind. When it reaches you, you know it's time. Time to move forward. You don't know where it will lead but you put the trust in it. With eyes raised towards the midnight sun it pulls you closer. The road is long and the end is uncertain."
B>The Long Road North features guest appearances from composer Colin Stetson, Christian Mazzalai and Laurent Brancowitz of French indie band PHOENIX, and Mariam Wallentin (Wildbirds And Peacedrums).
