Little snippets of information that you might not have heard before...
My Friend Stan vs. Daydreamer
Me, on the train, returning from the Reading '80 triumph
Jim once told me that when Slade were about to release "My Friend Stan" that Chas took a call from David Cassidy's management team.
Team Cassidy were concerned that the pimply pop star had organised a promotional trip to the UK to promote his next release "Daydreamer". However, they had found out that Slade were due to put out "My Friend Stan" around the same time. They were concerned that David would be kept off No1 and it might become something of a wasted trip.
Financial incentives were therefore offered to Slade to change their release date by a few weeks. Without even considering matters Chas confirmed that Slade wouldn't budge - and the two acts would therefore go head-to-head.
(Chas had good reason not to budge as Slade had massive sales with their last two singles "Cum On Feel The Noize" and "Skweeze Me Pleeze Me", both of which had entered the charts at No1.)
However, as it transpired, "My Friend Stan" was a very much a change of style for Slade and it only entered the chart at the "lowly" No.3 position, climbing the following week to it's peak position of No.2.
Cassidy, actually released a week after Slade. He promoted "Daydreamer" on the same 500th Top Of The Pops special as Slade - with footage showing him landing a private jet at Heathrow and performing on the tarmac. His song got to No1!
Chas's simultaneous release plan
In 1973 Slade for the first time entered the charts straight at No1 with "Cum On Feel The Noize". They were in a position of power and were having the biggest sales in their career.
Chas came up with the idea that they should record three or four new singles and release them week after week. This would mean that they would have their records entering the charts at No1, only to be knocked off the following week by another of their new records, and so on.
Chas argued that this would make history with an achievement surpassing all feats created by the Beatles. However, the group were undecided by the plan and after much discussion it didn't go ahead!
Don's 1974 Party
Promoting "The Bangin' Man" at the Serpentine - 1974
Don had a house warming party at his flat in Platts Lane, Hampstead in 1974.
Slade were always big buddies with Queen, and they attended the party. Don and his parents both recalled the same story to me that Freddie Mercury was shocked with Don's catering arrangements.
Don had provided paper cups and plates and plastic cutlery for the guests. Freddie screamed "Don't you know that I only eat off china plates?". He searched Don's kitchen cupboards for more suitable eating equitment!
Although Freddie was a diva - he took a shining to Don and at the party kept throwing himself on his back! Chasing Don around his flat like a Benny Hill sketch.
Dr Rob Buckman
Don appeared on the ITV show "Don't Ask Me" with Dr Robert Buckman in 1981 discussing his car crash and his amnesia.
Don and Rob got on really well and talked privately about his amnesia. Rob persuaded Don to see a hypontheraphist who could "put him under" and talk through the events of the crash. Don took up the suggestion and returned home with a cassette tape of the conversation in the hypnosis session. The tape provided him with some answers to what had happened that evening.
(The hypnotherapist was American Gil Boyne, and the story was reported in the Sunday People on 21 September 1981. At the time it was claimed that Don was subsequently cured of his amensia, although this was not true).
Dave and Jan's 1973 Wedding
Dave with fan Linda Garbutt, Wolverhampton Civic - 1978
Dave and Jan married in Tijuana, Mexico in 1973.
I think it happened when the band were on a break from touring - and Dave and Jan drove down to Mexico.
Chas didn't like the fact that Dave had got married - as it might put off girl fans from liking the band. Therefore there was a "block" on him talking about it. I remember that Alison Hillmen from Wigan had worked it out early on - she saw an article in the Sunday People that showed Dave's new house in Solihull. He was sharing his round bath with a "friend". Alison used her magnifying glass and could see the wedding ring on the lady's finger. If she wasn't married to Dave - then what married man would have let his wife share a bath with Dave?
It made Dave's comments, at the time, about his suggested marriage, quote, "I might sing "Mama Weer All Crazee Now - but I'm not that crazy!" nonsense.
Jim and the personalised number plates
Jim with his cars at Redroofs - 1974
I remember a guy contacted Jim to advise that he had the personalised car number plate JWL 1. He said that he would be prepared to sell this to Jim - and asked if they could discuss a fee.
Jim said to me that he had enough difficulty not drawing attention to himself when he went out. So why on earth would he want to draw more attention to himself with a personalised plate? So he advised the guy where to go.
He is obviously a very different character to Dave Hill (who used the YOB 1 plate for years)!
Don's phone number problem
When Don moved to London he had problem with a certain very enthusiastic fan finding out his personal home telephone number (even though it was Ex Directory).
He was pleasant when the lady first called him - but she started to call every day. He therefore contacted the Telephone Exchange and asked them to change the number.
It was with surprise that the very next day the girl in question called him again - on his new number. She asked why he had changed his number.....and he enquired how she had found the new number out so quickly?
It transpired that she worked for British Telecom!
The number that Don ended up with in London for many years was most appropriate. It ended with the digits "1971" - the year of Slade's first hit single and their first No.1 How apt!
When Gold is not Gold
With Flame Gold Disc - at Jack's house 1980
Do you know that Slade's Gold Discs are not what they seem?
Dave's Dad was curious play the Gold Disc Dave had received for the "Flame" album. On the label it showed six tracks on Side One - but the disc itself showed there were seven tracks.
He took the Disc out of the frame and played it. Would you believe it wasn't even Slade. Polydor had used an old James Last album (who was also signed to Polydor) to spray Gold and present to Dave!
The only good bit of news was that Jack Hill actually liked James Last - so he was quite pleased to have one of his albums - for free!
On the downside, I had to sit through listening to the album once. (And once was enough).
Slade wives in bank hold-up
When Slade first emigrated to the USA in 1975 there was a news story that the Slade wives (Leandra, Louise and Jan) were involved in a bank hold-up in New York.
I was uncertain as to the truth of this story. But Louise Lea confirmed to me in 1978 that this was absolutely genuine. The wives went through the ordeal in their first few days and were shocked at their introduction to New York!
One of the idols Slade managed to meet was Dame Vera Lynn. She attended the Melody Maker Music Awards on 1 March 1973 at The Savoy Hotel in London. Dave Hill especially was thrilled to meet her - his Dad, Jack, was a big fan.
Why Slade got a Daimler
Jim told me a story about the DISC Music Awards 1972.
Slade had been voted Best British Band and were due to attend the Award Event on a Boat moored on the Thames.
As they approached the boat they saw Rod Stewart arrive, chauffeur driven in a Rolls Royce. Maggie Bell also turned up in a flash car.
Slade were in their, not so plush, trusty Granada. They felt embarrassed. So they decided to pull up further on. They discretely walked back to the Boat when the coast was clear. Nobody could see that they'd travelled in their Granada.
Shortly after the band decided to invest a Daimler, for travel more becoming to Britain's Top Band….
Getting Slade banned from Capital Radio - 1976
In 1976 Capital Radio in London would broadcast a daily countdown of the Top Ten songs - as voted by the Capital Radio listeners. Basically, the public had to ring an answerphone and cast their vote by leaving a message detailing the song they most liked.
A Capital DJ would then play and countdown the Top Ten Songs between 5pm and 6pm each day - finishing with the No1. just before 6pm.
When Slade released "Let's Call It Quits", in February 1976, my mate Raj Advani and I thought that it would be great if the record could get in Capital's Top Ten. We would give the record a little help. We decided to take matters into our own hands ........ and voted scores of times each day!
We were both still at school and would use the public phone boxes at Marylebone Station on the way to school, in the morning break, at lunchtime and after school. Each call cost 2p in those days (and we would change up about £1 each day morning into 2p's - ready for the day's calls).
We soon got the record into the Capital Top Ten. It went higher and higher as we voted more and more. It eventually got stuck at No.2 - trailing to C W McCall's (awful) song "Convoy".
Matters then became an obsession - we were voting every spare moment that we had (and I was also running up a large bill on the home phone too). We were trying everything to get the record to No.1. We would call the message line and use all different types of accents (so that we didn't get caught out - as each listener was only allowed to vote once per day). I became a master of voting for Slade in Cockney, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Brummie, Geordie, Scouse and even Jamaican accents!
However, me and Raj weren't that good - we did eventually get found out. This wasn't suprising - Capital must have been wondering why the record was being voted for so much by the public - especially as they weren't buying it in the shops. (The single only peaked at No.11 based on sales).
One day the DJ on Capital announced that the record was now banned - as Slade's record company had been caught out as being "under-hand". Well, it wasn't the record company making all the calls - it was me and Raj!
I wrote to the DJ admitting guilt -but the Drive Time Show wouldn't budge. They had banned the record and that was that! I was gutted - but at least I now had money to spend on lunch every day and not starve myself.....
Return of the Top Hat
I found this photo the other day of Nod at Watford Baileys on the 1979 tour.
I'd forgotten that he had a new Top Hat custom made for him. Instead of being covered in circular mirrors - it had just one - in the middle of the hat.
Nod wore the new hat for that tour only. A photo of the hat is to the left.
Jim's Nickname
I think most people know that Jim's nickname is "Midland Misery". Nod even mentioned the nickname in the lyrics to "The Wheels Ain't Coming Down" in 1981.
However, there is some confusion as to exactly how Jim obtained this name.
Some people think that he was given it by the road crew - due to his somewhat pessimistic outlook on life. However, this is not true.
Jim explained it to me years ago. Apparently in about 1973 the band were in Chas's office in South Molton Street looking through their fan mail. One fan had drawn this large card with sketches of each band member. She had labelled each member with an appropriate name. For example, under Dave Hill's drawing she had called him The Silver Man.
Under Jim's picture she called him Midland Misery - because he never smiled in his photos.
The band fell about laughing when they saw it - and the nickname has stuck with Jim ever since.
Christmas Card - 1980
Please, please Give Us A Goal
Top Scorer Don - in Nomis's hat
I remember hearing about the filming of the "Give Us A Goal" promotional video.
Chas had arranged to use Brighton FC for the location. I think that Chas lived nearby - and he had contacts with the Directors of the club.
The band recorded the "live" performance of the song in the half time interval of a match.
The "footie" bits were recorded in the February time 1978 - when it was freezing.
Despite Slade have skinhead roots and being part of the football terrace culture - the band weren't at all into football. I know that Don used to ocassionally look out for the results of Wolves and Nod would know little bits that were going on with Wolves and Walsall - but that was about it.
None of the band were sporty - and none had played football since school.
Whilst filming the "footie" bits - the band used the Brighton pitch on a training day. Several of the Brighton players, including their top striker, Peter Ward, were used in the filming.
The camera crew tried to set up an action shot of one of the band actually scoring a goal. But, no matter how hard they tried, nobody could score.
Dave complained about the cold - and was running around with a woolly bobble hat on his head to keep warm - but not doing much else.
Eventually, Don managed to scramble the ball into the net. Hallelujah! The filming crew could call it a rap - and everyone could go home!
I was given an exclusive customised "Give Us A Goal" whistle by Chas's secretary - Susie Ching. Chas had had a box of about 10 whistles made for promo filming. The whistles were quality metal ones - with special "Give Us A Goal" ribbon. I recall that on the "Give Us A Goal" tour that fans would turn up a gigs with football whistles - and I wore this special one to the Southgate Royalty show in London (on 4 April 1978 - Dave Hill's birthday). Linda Dowsett - a girl fan from Mildenhall, Suffolk, begged me it give it to her. How could I refuse? Shame that I did - as I've never seen one of these whistles again.

What happens if Texas teachers strike?
Teachers and other educators in states like Oklahoma, West Virginia, Kentucky and Arizona are stepping out of the classroom in protest over salaries, rights and benefits. As Texas educators grow increasingly frustrated over those same subjects, some are beginning to ask what the options are in Texas. Can Texas teachers strike or schedule a sick-out? TCTA lawyers provide the legal perspective in this article.
Texas is a right-to-work state. Teachers are prohibited from engaging in collective bargaining. TCTA is not a union, is not affiliated with any national unions, and does not support collective bargaining. We believe that teachers are professionals, not "labor," but also that in the absence of local bargaining, the state must provide a base level of adequate compensation and legal protections.
TCTA does provide legal services, access to professional liability insurance, and representation through lobbying activities and by assisting our members in their own advocacy. If TCTA is asked about our position on strikes or work stoppages by teachers, our responsibility is to provide a legal analysis of the legalities and risks of doing so.
Texas is a right-to-work state.
In 1947, Congress passed the Taft-Harley Act, which allowed states to pass laws to prohibit union-negotiated contracts from requiring all employees to join a union upon hiring. Such laws are known as "right-to-work" laws. That same year, Texas passed a right-to-work law, as well as a separate bill that prohibited public employees from going on strike or engaging in an organized work stoppage.
What is against the law?
State law provides as follows:
"Texas Government Code, Sec. 617.003. Prohibition on Strikes by Public Employees.
(a) Public employees may not strike or engage in an organized work stoppage against the state or a political subdivision of the state.
(b) A public employee who violates Subsection (a) forfeits all civil service rights, reemployment rights, and any other rights, benefits, and privileges
the employee enjoys as a result of public employment or former public employment.
(c) The right of an individual to cease work may not be abridged if the individual is not acting in concert with others in an organized work stoppage."
It would be fair to interpret a strike as a formal order to cease working called by a union. The question then becomes, what is meant by an organized work stoppage? Is a call for a work stoppage made collectively at the grassroots level and not organized by an existing union or labor organization an "organized work stoppage"? The answer is that there is no case law on this issue, so there is little guidance to tell us how a court might consider the variations on a strike.
What about a "work to rule" or "work to contract" action? Teachers in other states have attempted this strategy at times. The educators vow to only fill the specific terms of their contracts; for example, serving the required workday hours but no more, not taking work home, etc. But because the standard Texas teacher contract includes a provision requiring "other duties as assigned," districts/administrators that do not support the "work to contract" movement could still take employment action against a teacher who is not fulfilling all duties as assigned, even those that might be done outside of the normal workday.
In Texas, the risks involved in participating in a strike or illegal work stoppage are high. To forfeit "all civil service rights, reemployment rights and any other rights, benefits, and privileges" earned from public employment is a draconian penalty. Oklahoma law, in contrast, does not prohibit collective bargaining. While it prohibits strikes, the potential penalty for engaging in a strike is the loss of compensation during the period of the violation. The organization calling for the strike could also lose its collective bargaining authority. It is also worth noting that at least in some of the states experiencing teacher strikes, the teachers continue to receive their pay while out of the classroom. Many administrators are in support of the walkouts and are closing schools during the strikes; in some cases, the lost days will have to be made up.
Some associations have asserted that participating in a strike in Texas could lead to loss of pension benefits. This is politically unlikely, although it is theoretically possible, as a pension is a benefit. Certainly, a teacher in Texas who takes a day or more of leave without following local leave policies could be subject to discipline up to and including nonrenewal, termination or certification sanctions.
How then can teachers change the current political climate to bring needed change to compensation, benefits and working conditions? Teachers must become more politically active, voting for pro-education, pro-teacher candidates in school board races, Texas House and Senate races and other statewide and Congressional races.
Also keep in touch with both your House and Senate legislators, and contact them about important bills being considered by the Texas Legislature. Some groups fear the power teachers could have to influence lawmakers. We encourage you to be politically active and make this fear a reality.

I started riding motorcycles before I even took up photography, way back in 1972. Both riding and photographing require a lot of practice to achieve mastery. Both pursuits can be rewarding (or frustrating) as that expertise develops (or fails to.) Both involve complex technology with numerous opportunities to spend more and more money. Both are frequently enjoyed outside. Both involve disciplined vision and constant awareness of your surrounding environment. Thankfully, in only one pursuit can a mistake result in injury or even worse—death. While I was riding recently, I was reminded of what is arguably the most important similarity between the two, at least in the eyes of a photographer.
Long-time readers of my blog know that I ride my motorcycle during the warmer months as often as work and the weather allow. They will also know that, for the five coldest months of the year, the motorcycle is parked in my garage. It sits in a form of suspended animation, with the battery removed, the oil freshly changed and the gasoline specially treated to withstand the cold. Regular readers will also know that the annual de-winterizing of my motorcycle usually coincides with the start of the peak season for my outdoor work doing street photography.
A couple months back I started riding again, and as expected, it took me a few weeks to get my skills back in good working order. This past week, I have been taking photographs (and more recently recording audio) during my rides, for a podcast I am making. The finished piece will be a time-lapse animation, showing thousands of still photos very rapidly. It will look and sound like one short but frenetic motorcycle ride, assuming all goes well.
While gathering the images and the audio, I had the different recording devices on a tabletop tripod which was locked securely in place on my motorcycle with the help of a series of elastic bungee cords. For recording in both media, the procedure was the same. Fix the recorder in place. Take the cycle for a test ride to verify the security of the bungee cords. Do some basic recording tests while parked and then do another test drive to evaluate the settings on the two different recorders. Then check the results and recalibrate those settings. Once everything was in place, I turned the recorder (of images or sounds) on and went for a pleasant ride.
When I was riding (and recording the sounds of my motorcycle) I was struck by how automatic, how unconscious the actual process of driving had become. I went up or down in the gears, clutched, accelerated and braked, all without thinking. What I was thinking about was the audio recorder securely bound in place, just like the camera had previously been. In this case, the audio recorder was behind me, nearer the exhaust pipes to get the best possible sound. By comparison, the camera had been positioned in front of me where I could see it. The placement of the audio recorder behind me made me unusually nervous as I rode. My attention was split between my driving and thinking about the security of the recording device.
As I was riding and worrying about the unseen audio recorder, I approached one intersection with a stop sign. Completely unconsciously, I eased off the throttle, down-shifted, applied the brakes and came to a full stop with my left foot on the ground for balance. After a brief moment, I then accelerated again. Only when I was moving did I realize how completely subconscious that entire process had been. My brain was thinking about the audio recorder but my hands were thinking about operating the motorcycle.
That state of intuitively operating the required technology without any conscious thought is the state that every photographer should be in when they go out photographing. When I am at my best as photographer, my hands subconsciously work the controls of my camera, while my conscious brain is working on the composition, evaluating the light, considering the angle, etc.
The operation of your camera needs to become as automatic as the operation of your car (or motorcycle in my case.) Long-time automobile drivers know that they do not need to think about the act of driving, they just drive. Using a camera should be no different. Becoming as in tune with your camera as you are with you car requires practice, practice—and more practice!
Finally, let me offer two thoughts to guide that practice. Do not keep buying new gear in the hopes that some new technology will improve your photography. Each piece of new gear takes time to learn. It also sets you further and further back from the subconscious mastery of the gear that is the hallmark of any great photographer.
Don't limit your photography to only "important" subjects, because if you do, you may photograph only once a week, if at all. Photograph anything and try to use your camera every day. You need to get to the point where you know intuitively where the controls/settings are positioned.
Right now, my motorcycle riding skills are being ratcheted back up to their annual mid-summer peak. Then as the autumn approaches they will slowly wind down. By comparison, my photography skills never get fully out of use since I am practicing them constantly, just like any good photographer should be.

England's Arctic Monkeys are in L.A. but not necessarily of it
By Mikael Wood
Sept. 21, 2013 12 AM PT
Alex Turner knows how it looks: A young British rock band, widely admired for its unflinching depictions of a pub-crawl demimonde, finds huge success at home, then packs up and moves to sunny Los Angeles just as it's on the verge of becoming a kind of national institution.
But if longtime fans of England's Arctic Monkeys are worried that the group has abandoned its unsavory roots, Turner has words of reassurance.
"We used to have a little space on this scuzzy street in Sheffield," the singer-guitarist said recently. "And now we've got one on a scuzzy street in Hollywood instead." He chuckled behind his vintage gold-framed Ray-Bans. "The two are probably equally shady."
Indeed, there's plenty of grime to be gleaned from "AM," the new Arctic Monkeys album, as in the bleary "One for the Road" and the wryly titled "No. 1 Party Anthem," in which Turner describes a late night at what might be any number of joints near the band's new headquarters: "Lights in the floors and sweat on the walls / Cages and poles / Call off the search for your soul."
PHOTOS: Concerts by The Times
Still, "AM" does add fresh wrinkles — Botoxed ones, perhaps — to a post-punk sound that arrived on a wave of hype with Arctic Monkeys' 2006 debut, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not."
On that album, which set several sales records and won the United Kingdom's prestigious Mercury Prize, Turner spun his detailed yarns over scrappy garage rock that elicited comparisons to the work of the Strokes and London's Libertines. Subsequent records added traces of psychedelia and heavy metal, some inspired by the group's friendship with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, who co-produced 2009's "Humbug" at a studio in Joshua Tree.
Those elements crop up again on "AM"; Homme contributes vocals to two songs. But here the band — which also includes guitarist Jamie Cook, bassist Nick O'Malley and drummer Matt Helders — juices its rhythmic attack with low-slung beats that feel derived from Dr. Dre's hip-hop productions, while Turner pushes his vocals to a new level of clammy sensuality. In songs such as "Do I Wanna Know?" and "Knee Socks," the group offers a grungier take on the blue-eyed soul-funk style that ruled airwaves this summer.
Speaking with Helders last month at a Los Feliz lunch spot, Turner allowed that Arctic Monkeys' move to L.A. — where the experience of listening to the car radio establishes a whole system of sonic values — affected the band's approach on "AM."

But he also said the record reflects the desire he's always had to keep moving forward — to "not get stuck" no matter where he's doing business. The group's previous record, 2011's "Suck It and See," sounded a bit stuck, he admitted; it's basically a less effective retread of "Humbug."
Yet when Arctic Monkeys wrote the new album's slinky but bruising "R U Mine?" — and then played it on tour last year as the Black Keys' opening act — Turner felt his imagination spark. "The vocals on that song share something with contemporary R&B;," he said. "And from there it was like, 'Well, what else can we pull in that doesn't normally go in the rock band box?'"
The folks at home haven't put up much resistance to that dabbling: Last week "AM" debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. album chart, and it's nominated for the 2013 Mercury Prize.
"People were a bit put out when they first heard the Monkeys had gone to America — like 'Have they forgotten us?'" said Matt Wilkinson, an editor at the British magazine NME. "But the album has had such a good reaction here. You can't argue with the music."
Nor with the idea of what defines home anyway for a busy touring act like Arctic Monkeys, whose latest trek is scheduled to stop at the Wiltern from Sept. 29 through Oct. 1. "To me it means having an actual key as opposed to a key card," Helders said. "And having to clean your own towels."

Q: Json data - white console - Xcode 9 I am trying a simple app in which I want to convert some values. It worked until I tried to convert the data in a dictionary,  and when I hit run, it builds successfully, but the console does not print anything. Here is the code:
import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let url = URL(string: "http://gnb.dev.airtouchmedia.com/rates.json")
    let task  = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url!) { (data, response, error) in

    if error != nil
         {
        print("ERROR")
    }
    else {
        if let content  = data  {
            do {

            }
        }
        }
    }
    task.resume()
}

A: because you are parsing JSON wrongly
try this
let myJson = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with:content, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.mutableContainers) as? [[String: AnyObject]] else { return }
for rate in myJson
    guard let cur = user["from"] as? String,
        let curRate = user["rate"] as? Double else { break }

        if let cur = "AUD" {
            print(curRate)
        }

Update:
You are receiving Array of Objects in response,
so first you have to treat it as Array of object,
Then you have to loop through this objects and then inside that loop you have to extract the data you were looking for and play with it.

The Power of the Dog ist ein Filmdrama von Jane Campion, das im September 2021 bei den Internationalen Festspielen von Venedig seine Premiere feierte, wo die Regisseurin mit dem Silbernen Löwen für die Beste Regie ausgezeichnet wurde. Ab dem 18. November 2021 lief der Film in deutschen Kinos, bevor er Anfang Dezember in das Programm von Netflix aufgenommen wurde. Der Film basiert auf dem Roman Die Gewalt der Hunde von Thomas Savage.

Im Rahmen der Oscarverleihung 2022 gewann Jane Campion den Award für die beste Regie; der Film erhielt weitere elf Nominierungen, darunter als bester Film, Campion für das beste adaptierte Drehbuch und Benedict Cumberbatch als bester Hauptdarsteller sowie Kirsten Dunst als beste Nebendarstellerin.

Handlung
Das Jahr 1925 im ländlichen Montana: Die unverheirateten, wohlhabenden Brüder Phil und George Burbank, die seit 25 Jahren die von ihren Eltern übernommene Ranch in Montana führen, kehren während ihres Viehtriebs bei der verwitweten Gasthausbesitzerin Rose ein. Der ruhige und kultivierte George sucht nach weiblicher Wärme und ist schnell von Rose angetan; sein rau und menschenfeindlich auftretender Bruder Phil macht sich hingegen über Roses feminin wirkenden Sohn Peter lustig. Gegenüber den anderen Cowboys erwähnt Phil immer wieder seinen verstorbenen Mentor Bronco Henry, der sein archaisches Männerbild stark geprägt zu haben scheint.

George und Rose heiraten kurz darauf. Phil betrachtet diese Ehe mit Missfallen, da er vermutet, dass Rose nur auf Georges Vermögen aus ist, vor allem aber, da sie in seinen Augen zwischen ihn und seinen Bruder getreten ist. Rose gibt ihr Gasthaus auf, und Peter verbringt die Schulzeit in der Stadt, wo er im Internat wohnt. Rose zieht zu George auf die Ranch, wo ihre Versuche, ein normales Verhältnis zu ihrem Schwager aufzubauen, scheitern. George möchte seine Ehefrau bei einer Dinnerparty seinen Eltern und dem Gouverneur vorstellen.

Er kauft ein Klavier und bittet Rose, für den Gouverneur und seine Eltern bei dem Dinner zu spielen. Phil macht Rose bei ihren Proben am Klavier klar, wie mittelmäßig ihr Können ist, und taucht zu der Dinnerparty zunächst gar nicht auf. Rose ist verunsichert und fühlt sich nicht in der Lage, beim Dinner zu spielen. Kurz darauf erscheint Phil, entgegen Georges Wünschen ungewaschen und in Arbeitskleidung. Zudem demütigt er Rose weiter, indem er ihr verzweifeltes Üben für diesen Auftritt vor allen Anwesenden verrät. Als alle den Raum verlassen haben, trinkt die zuvor abstinent lebende Rose ein Glas Alkohol.

Als Peter in den Sommerferien auf die Ranch kommt, findet er seine Mutter als Alkoholikerin vor. Peter wird weiter von Phil und seinen Männern verspottet. Er widmet sich seinen medizinischen Studien, da er später Arzt werden will, seziert Tiere und studiert Krankheiten. Er entdeckt auch einen abgelegenen Weiher, den Rückzugsort von Phil, der dort unter anderem mit einem Halstuch von Bronco Henry masturbiert, welches mit den Initialen B H bestickt ist. In einer kleinen Hütte am Weiher findet Peter einen Stapel homoerotische Zeitschriften mit dem Namen von Bronco Henry darauf, in denen nackte Sportler zu sehen sind. Peter beobachtet Phil, der mit dem Tuch um den Hals in einem Teich badet. Nachdem Phil ihn bemerkt hat, verjagt er ihn.

Beim nächsten Treffen verhält Phil sich Peter gegenüber wider Erwarten sehr anständig. Er verspricht Peter, ihm bis zum Beginn des neuen Schuljahres ein Lasso aus Rohhaut zu flechten, und will ihm auch das Reiten beibringen. Dass Peter in den Schattierungen der naheliegenden Berge die Form eines bellenden Hundes erkennt, die bisher nur Bronco Henry und er selbst wahrgenommen hatten, imponiert Phil zusätzlich.

Bei einem Ausritt findet Peter ein an Milzbrand verendetes Rind und beginnt, den Kadaver zu sezieren. Peter und Phil unternehmen gemeinsame Ausritte. Bei der spielerischen Jagd auf ein Kaninchen verletzt sich Phil an der Hand. Dass Peter soviel Zeit mit ihrem verhassten Schwager verbringt, verschlimmert Roses Alkoholismus. Als zwei Indianer vor der Ranch um Rinderhäute bitten, die Phil ohnehin meist nur verbrennt, verschenkt Rose sie und erhält im Gegenzug zum Dank ein paar Lederhandschuhe. Kurz darauf bricht sie stark alkoholisiert zusammen und wird von ihrem Mann gepflegt.

Phil ist verzweifelt und rasend vor Wut auf Rose, weil er nun keine Häute mehr hat, um das Lasso für Peter fertigzustellen. Peter bietet Phil ein Stück Haut an, das er aufbewahrt habe, da er sich am Herstellen eines Lassos üben wollte. Phil erzählt, wie ihm Bronco Henry einst das Leben rettete, indem sie sich bei eisigem Wetter gegenseitig wärmten. Peters Frage, ob sie dabei nackt gewesen seien, lässt er unbeantwortet. Sie verbringen die Nacht gemeinsam in der Scheune, um das Lasso fertigzustellen. Am nächsten Morgen erscheint Phil nicht zum Frühstück. George findet ihn krank im Bett; seine Wunde an der Hand ist stark entzündet. Phil fragt in seinem Delirium nach Peter, dem er das fertige Lasso schenken will, doch ist er nicht zu sehen. George bringt seinen Bruder ins Krankenhaus, wo er wenig später stirbt.

Bei Phils Beerdigung berichtet ein Arzt George, dass sein Bruder höchstwahrscheinlich an Milzbrand gestorben sei, was diesen verwirrt, da Phil stets erkrankte Rinder gemieden hatte. Peter, der nicht bei der Beerdigung war, liest unterdessen aus dem Psalm 22: "Entreiße mein Leben dem Schwert, mein einziges Gut aus der Gewalt der Hunde!" Er legt das fertige Lasso mit behandschuhten Händen unter sein Bett und beobachtet aus dem Fenster, wie sich George und Rose lächelnd umarmen. Dass Peter Phil absichtlich die Haut des an Milzbrand gestorbenen Rindes gegeben hat, um an ihm Rache zu nehmen, bleibt unausgesprochen.

Literarische Vorlage

Der Film basiert auf dem Roman Die Gewalt der Hunde (The Power of the Dog) von Thomas Savage (1915–2003) aus dem Jahr 1967. Savage war der Sohn einer großen Schafzüchterfamilie. Seine Eltern ließen sich scheiden, als er zwei Jahre alt war, und bei der Wiederverheiratung seiner Mutter zog Savage mit ihr nach Montana. Das dortige Leben auf der Ranch beeinflusste stark seinen Roman The Power of the Dog, die Figur des Peter wird auch als Alter Ego von Savage gesehen. Savage war in den 1960er-Jahren ein verheirateter Familienvater, sich aber auch seiner damals verpönten Homosexualität bewusst. Anfang der 1960er-Jahre hatte er seine Familie einige Zeit für einen Mann verlassen, war aber dann zu ihr zurückgekehrt. Kurz darauf entstand The Power of the Dog, der als ein Grundthema das Verhältnis von Homophobie und unterdrückter Homosexualität hat.

Die Werke von Thomas Savage erhielten zwar oft großes Kritikerlob, erreichten allerdings nie ein breites Leserpublikum und waren teilweise über lange Jahre vergriffen. Im Falle von The Power of the Dog hatte aber bereits mehrfach Interesse an einer Verfilmung bestanden, unter anderem in den 1970ern mit Paul Newman als Phil und Faye Dunaway als Rose. Keines dieser Projekte kam zustande.

Produktion

Regie und Drehbuchentwicklung
Im Mai 2019 wurde bekannt, dass Oscar-Preisträgerin Jane Campion an der Verfilmung von Savages Roman arbeitete und auch das Drehbuch schrieb. Es wurde ihr erster Kinofilm seit Bright Star aus dem Jahr 2009, nachdem sie in den Jahren dazwischen an der Fernsehserie Top of the Lake gearbeitet hatte. Das Budget des Filmes betrug etwas über 30 Millionen US-Dollar, womit es der bislang teuerste Film der Regisseurin wurde.

Die neuseeländische Regisseurin war nach eigenen Angaben nicht auf der Suche nach einem Filmstoff, "verliebte" sich aber beim Lesen von The Power of the Dog in das Buch und recherchierte anschließend weiter zu Thomas Savage. Anlässlich der Bekanntgabe der Verfilmung teilte sie mit: "The Power of the Dog ist ein herausragender Roman, der ein Leben auf der Großleinwand verdient. Ich konnte nicht aufhören, an die Geschichte zu denken, sie hat mich wirklich verfolgt. Die Themen von Männlichkeit, Nostalgie und Betrug sind eine berauschende Mischung." Insbesondere die komplexe Figur des Phil interessierte die Regisseurin, die bis dahin in ihren Filmen wie Das Piano vor allem weibliche Figuren ins Zentrum gerückt hatte. Campions Drehbuch bleibt insgesamt nahe an der Savages Roman; die wichtigste Aussparung des Films ist eine Vorgeschichte zwischen Phil und Roses durch Suizid verstorbenen Ehemann, die Peter und Rose einen weiteren Grund gibt, Phil nicht zu mögen.

Besetzung und Synchronisation

Benedict Cumberbatch stand bereits früh für die Rolle des Phil Burbank fest. Zunächst waren Elisabeth Moss und Paul Dano für die Rollen von Rose und George vorgesehen, als sich das Projekt allerdings verzögerte, mussten beide im Herbst 2019 aufgrund von Terminproblemen aussteigen. Daraufhin wurden stattdessen Kirsten Dunst und Jesse Plemons besetzt, insofern passend, da beide auch im echten Leben ein Paar sind. In weiteren Rollen sind Kodi Smit-McPhee als Roses Sohn Peter und Thomasin McKenzie in der Rolle des Dienstmädchen Lola zu sehen. Genevieve Lemon, die seit dem Film Sweetie (1989) immer wieder mit Campion zusammenarbeitete, spielt die Köchin Mrs. Lewis.

Die Nebenbesetzung besteht überwiegend aus australischen und neuseeländischen Schauspielern, Ausnahmen sind die bekannten Hollywood-Gesichter Keith Carradine und Frances Conroy. Letztere spielt die "Old Lady" und damit die Mutter der beiden Brüder, während Peter Carroll die Rolle des "Old Gent" und Vaters übernahm. Auch Campions Tochter, die Schauspielerin Alice Englert, übernahm eine kleine Rolle und spielt Buster.

Die deutsche Synchronisation entstand nach einem Dialogbuch und der Dialogregie von Pierre Peters-Arnolds im Auftrag der Interopa Film GmbH, Berlin.

Dreharbeiten und Postproduktion
Jane Campion ließ sich als Gast der Schriftstellerin Annie Proulx, die ein Nachwort Savages The Power of the Dog geschrieben hatte, durch die Berglandschaften von Montana führen. Während ihres Aufenthalts besuchte Campion auch die Ranch im Südwesten des Bundesstaates, auf der der Schriftsteller Savage aufgewachsen war und wo er theoretisch die hundeförmige Bergformation gesehen hatte, die der Schlüssel zur Handlung des Romans ist.

Aus finanziellen, infrastrukturellen und künstlerischen Gründen wurde aber entschieden, den Film in Campions Heimatland Neuseeland zu drehen. Als Kamerafrau fungierte die Australierin Ari Wegner. Die Dreharbeiten fanden ab Anfang 2020 in der Otago Region auf der Südinsel Neuseelands statt, unter anderem in der Stadt Dunedin und in der Landschaft Maniototo Plain. Die Dreharbeiten waren drei Wochen vor ihrem Ende, als wegen der Covid-19-Pandemie zeitweise nicht weitergedreht werden konnte. Ein Teil der internationalen Filmcrew flog nach Hause zurück, ihre Rückkehr nach Neuseeland erwies sich allerdings aufgrund der strengen Einreisebedingungen des Landes während der Pandemie als schwierig. Die Crewmitglieder erhielten schließlich Einreisegenehmigungen, allerdings verbunden mit einer zweiwöchigen Quarantänepflicht. Nach Abschluss der Dreharbeiten führte Campion die Postproduktion in Australien durch. Für den Filmschnitt arbeitete sie mit Peter Sciberras zusammen.

Filmmusik und Veröffentlichung

Die Filmmusik wurde von Jonny Greenwood, einem Mitglied der Rockband Radiohead, komponiert. Das Soundtrack-Album mit 16 Musikstücken wurde am 17. November 2021 von Lakeshore und INVADA Records als Download veröffentlicht. Für seine Arbeit erhielt Greenwood zahlreiche Nominierungen, darunter eine Oscar-Nominierung, eine Nominierung im Rahmen der Golden Globes und bei der Verleihung der British Academy Film Awards.

Der Streaminganbieter Netflix erwarb die Rechte am Film. The Power of the Dog feierte am 2. September 2021 bei den Internationalen Festspielen von Venedig seine Premiere und wurde hiernach beim Telluride Film Festival, beim Toronto International Film Festival, beim New York Film Festival und beim London Film Festival vorgestellt. Ende Oktober 2021 wurde der Film bei der Viennale vorgestellt.

Nach einer Vorstellung beim AFI Fest kam der Film am 17. November 2021 in ausgewählte US-Kinos und am darauffolgenden Tag in die deutschen Kinos. Am 1. Dezember 2021 wurde The Power of the Dog in das Programm von Netflix aufgenommen.

Rezeption

Altersfreigabe
In den USA erhielt der Film von der MPAA ein R-Rating, was einer Freigabe ab 17 Jahren entspricht. In Deutschland wurde der Film von der FSK ab 16 Jahren freigegeben. In der Freigabebegründung heißt es, der Film enthalte einige Streit- sowie Bedrohungssituationen und zeige vereinzelt drastische Handlungen an Tieren mit deutlichen Verletzungsdarstellungen.

Kritiken

Von den bei Rotten Tomatoes erfassten Kritiken sind 94 Prozent positiv bei einer durchschnittlichen Bewertung von 8,4 der möglichen 10 Punkte womit er aus den 22. Annual Golden Tomato Awards als Zweitplatzierter in der Kategorie Filmdramen des Jahres 2021 hervorging. Auf Metacritic erhielt der Film einen Metascore von 89 von 100 möglichen Punkten.

Bilge Ebiri von Vulture schreibt, es sei eine perfekte Rolle für Benedict Cumberbatch, dessen sanfte Züge und kantiger Körper ihn immer aus konkurrierenden Impulsen zusammengebaut erscheinen ließen. Zunächst glaube man zu wissen, wer Phil ist: grob, sadistisch und ein absoluter Bösewicht. Doch Jane Campion zeige auch dessen innere Unsicherheit, und dass er die Rolle des knallharten Cowboys angenommen habe, um sich zugehörig zu fühlen. Kodi Smit-McPhee hingegen porträtiere Peter als jemand, der nur er selbst sein könne, auch wenn das die Männer um ihn herum wütend mache. Er scheine unfähig zu sein, sich Identitäten und Körperhaltungen anzueignen: "Peter ist, wer er ist, und Phil sieht darin eine direkte Bedrohung dessen, wer er sein möchte", so Ebiri. Campion bewahre die Einfachheit von Thomas Savages Prosa mit der unaufdringlichen Leichtigkeit ihres eigenen Geschichtenerzählens, und sie finde sogar einen überzeugenden Weg, um die etwas veralteten freudschen Vorstellungen im Roman zu umgehen und in die Köpfe ihrer Protagonisten einzudringen, indem sie sich auf das Äußere konzentriere, "auf die Dinge, die sie sehen und berühren, und die dicke Luft um sie herum".

Thomas Schultze von Blickpunkt:Film erinnert in seiner Kritik daran, dass die von Savage erdachte Hauptfigur einen Einblick in eine Männerpsyche gewähre – die eines Mannes, der den tiefen Hass auf das eigene Verlangen an seiner Umwelt auslasse –, und schnell ahne man auch im Film, dass Phils bösartige Attacken gegen den auf ihn weibisch wirkenden Sohn der Frau seines Bruder letztlich dem Umstand geschuldet seien, dass er seine eigene Sexualität nicht anerkennen könne. Sie habe ihn nicht mit einem für Machorollen bekannten Schauspieler besetzt, sondern mit Cumberbatch, der mit Dreitagebart, fettigem Haar und muskulösem Körperbau gegen den intellektuellen Figurentyp ankämpfe, mit dem man den Briten gemeinhin assoziiere: "Immer wieder bahnt es sich den Weg ins Freie, als würde hinter Clark Kent immer wieder Superman hervorblitzen" Dies mache die Darstellung von Cumberbatch faszinierend facettenreich. Die Bilder der Farm erinnerten an Terrence Malicks In der Glut des Südens, wo die Natur ebenfalls das Leben der Siedler fest im Griff halte, doch trotz aller visuellen Kraft sei The Power of the Dog ein Schauspielerfilm, so Schultze, in dem neben Cumberbatch und Smit-McPhee auch Jesse Plemons und Kirsten Dunst überzeugten.

David Rooney von The Hollywood Reporter schreibt, Dunst spiele Rose so zerbrechlich wie feines Porzellan. Diese füge sich dem zu dieser Zeit von Frauen erwarteten Verhaltenskodex, und wie sie sich in einem Kreislauf von Alkohol und Angstzuständen wiederfinde, sei ziemlich erschütternd, ebenso wie ihre greifbare Angst vor jeder Interaktion mit Phil. Plemons' George beschreibt Rooney als sanftmütig und ausgeglichen, was ihn zunächst schwach erscheinen lasse. Seine Weigerung, sich auf das toxische Niveau seines Bruders herabzulassen, lasse ihn letztlich jedoch stark und integer erscheinen, auch wenn seine Unaufmerksamkeit gegenüber dem Unglück seiner Frau darauf hindeute, dass er nicht mit dem vertraut ist, was eine liebevolle Beziehung ausmacht.

Einsatz im Unterricht
Das Onlineportal kinofenster.de empfiehlt den Film ab der 11. Klasse für die Unterrichtsfächer Deutsch, Englisch, Ethik und Geschichte und bietet Materialien zum Film für den Unterricht. Dort schreibt Jörn Hetebrügge, wie Kelly Reichardts First Cow von 2019 hinterfrage auch Jane Campions Film das traditionelle Männlichkeitsbild im Western. Insofern biete es sich an, etwa in Deutsch oder Psychologie zunächst die Geschlechterstereotypen des Genres zu bestimmen, um darauf aufbauend zu analysieren, inwieweit Phil, aber auch die anderen Figuren aus The Power of the Dog diesen entsprechen. Vielversprechend sei auch eine umfassendere Figurenanalyse, um die Handlungsmotive der Figuren zu ergründen, auch mit Blick auf die überraschende Schlusswendung.

Motive
Wenn am Ende der Geschichte das Zitat aus Psalm 22:20 den Titel des Films erklärt, bezieht sich dieser Satz auf die alte Symbolik von Hunden als Aasfressern, die die Verletzlichen ausbeuten. Der Titel könne sich genauso gut auf eine Szene beziehen, in der Peter von Phil gefragt wird, was er sieht, wenn er auf die Schatten sieht, die der Berg auf die Burbank-Ranch wirft, so Katie Rife von The A.V. Club. Dadurch dass Peter ebenfalls die Umrisse eines Hundes erkennen kann, werde deren gemeinsame Fähigkeit zum Ausdruck gebracht, tiefer zu blicken und über das Offensichtliche hinaus zu sehen. Dieses mystische Element verbinde das menschliche Drama dieser vier widersprüchlichen Menschen mit der Landschaft selbst auf eine Weise, die den klassischen Western widerspiegelt und gleichzeitig eine erfrischend moderne Interpretation des Genres bietet, so David Rooney von The Hollywood Reporter.

Sophie Monks Kaufman von der Filmzeitschrift Little White Lies schreibt, während sich Phil und Peter zunächst als zwei männliche Archetypen im Konflikt präsentieren, der Macho-Mann gegen den schwächlichen Jungen, greife der Film zunehmend den queeren Subtext von Savages Buch auf und verleihe der Spannung zwischen den beiden eine Sinnlichkeit, wobei Campion gelegentlich mit Symbolen arbeitet. Als einen sexuell aufgeladenen Moment beschreibt Kaufman die Szene, in der Phil mit Peter spricht und währenddessen einen riesigen Zaunpfosten in den Boden schlägt. Dass Phil mit Bronco Henry eine sexuelle Beziehung hatte, wird bei der ungewöhnlich zärtlichen Pflege von Bronco Henrys altem Sattel durch Phil angedeutet. Das Ölen und Polieren des Sattels "grenze an Erotik", so Guy Lodge in seiner Kritik für den Guardian.

Picking Up The Tab: Can The Waitstaff Ruin Your Date?
by Scott Alden on June 24, 2020
The Gloss posted an interesting piece today on one of modern dating's most controversial questions. As far as we may have come in terms of equality between the sexes, there is one particular issue that continues to throw a old-timey wrench into the works of our modern sensibilities- Who should pay for dinner?
We've covered the question of gender-bias in picking up the tab before and suggested a number of ways to make it less of an issue on a date. There was however, one factor that hadn't occurred to us -- one that is beyond any of our control: The behavior of the waitstaff.
An essay by Jillian Lucas on The Gloss today pointed out that, though a couple on a date may have their own, agreed upon way of dealing with the check, the gender bias of the waitstaff can make the situation even more awkward.
Lucas related a story in which a waitress not only handed the check to her boyfriend at the end of the meal, but said "Here you go, sir," as she did so. In this day and age, this assumption is unfair and potentially embarrassing for both men and women.
So, here is our plea to waitstaff across the land: If a couple seems to be on a date, just put the check in the middle of the table. That way, if either party wants to spring for it, they can, but no one is expected to.
It's not just better service, folks. It's the right thing to do.
[The Gloss]

Sheridan is a speech pathologist and researcher with a special interest in adults with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities.
Over the past 20 years she has been driven by the question "how do I need to be in order to be with you?" She works with families and staff to work out how they need to be to optimise the communication of the adults they support or care for.
Each person that she interacts with is different, requiring her to modify the way she interacts. Some people need interaction that is quiet, some need touch, some need high energy, some need words, and others need reassurance in interaction.
Sheridan's byline "attentive engagement" represents what she sees as the primary focus of her work. It is meaningful in individual assessments, staff training, and the development of written documents. It also serves a reminder when things get busy or hectic, to return to attentive engagement as the core of interaction.

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Bee Pollen (& 4 Reasons To Use It!)
What comes to mind when you think of the humble honeybee? Probably honey, right? Honey is nature's liquid gold and for good reason. Not only is it a natural sweetener, but it also boosts a range of medicinal benefits. It has been used medicinally since early human civilization to help heal wounds, prevent infections, and treat symptoms of the common cold. Honey is widely recognized by the scientific community for its anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. (Source.)
The Importance Of The Honeybee
The honeybee's importance to our ecosystem is one of the fundamental reasons industrial agriculture has been able to survive over the years. Bees are responsible for pollinating over 100 of the widely cultivated foods our society relies on -- such as apples, almonds, broccoli, strawberries, and blueberries. Orchardists and farmers actually contract out the work of pollinating their crops. Beekeepers can mobilize their hives and bring them in during the pollinating season. Subsequently, harvesting honey and other bee products enable these beekeepers to draw a livelihood from this work. Even though honey is the most common product we associate with bees, a lesser known (but no less important) product gathered by bees is bee pollen. In fact, we can attribute many of the health benefits of raw, unfiltered honey to bee pollen! The life of a bee starts with a feast on bee pollen. When honey is unheated and unfiltered, many of the sediments, like a honeycomb, propolis, and pollen, remain. These sediments are where the trace-nutrients lie.
How Is Bee Pollen Gathered?
The life of a bee starts with a feast on bee pollen. When honey is unheated and unfiltered, many of the sediments, like a honeycomb, propolis, and pollen, remain. These sediments are where the trace nutrients lie. Bees harvest bee pollen from the anthers of seed plants. When the bees gather the pollen, they mix it with nectar or a small secretion from their salivary glands. Then, they tuck it behind their hind legs into what you might refer to as little saddlebags. Subsequently, they transport their precious bounty back to the hive where it's fragmented into separate honeycomb cells by the flightless worker bees. Each cell is carefully sealed off with a thin layer of honey and wax. This substance which has been created by the worker bees undergoes a process of anaerobic fermentation. Thanks to lactic acid, this "bee bread" is preserved and acts as the main protein source for the bee colony. Bee pollen is one of the main ingredients that form the sustenance of a hive.
How Is Bee Pollen Harvested By Beekeepers?
Beekeepers attach little pollen traps to the entrance points of the hive. As the bee re-enters the hive with their collection, the pollen trap gently scrapes some of the pollen from the bee's legs. Next, the pollen is collected on a separate tray or another catchment below the hive for easy harvest. Harvesting bee pollen in this way mobilizes the bees and encourages the number of flights and foragers. National data has shown beehives can produce anywhere from 1 kilogram to 7 kilograms of bee pollen each year, averaging around 50 to 250 grams a day.
The Different Kinds of Bee Pollen
The quality and composition of particular bee pollen vary depending on geographical location, plant source, climate conditions, soil type, and the type of bee. Pollen grains vary from plant to plant and range in size, color, shape, and weight. Most noteworthy are the variances in color of bee pollen. Colors can range from bright yellow or orange to even black!
What's So Special About Bee Pollen?
As a building block for a bee colony, bee pollen is abundant in protein -- around 22.7% (source). These include a variety of essential amino acids -- proteins the body cannot synthesize on its own. Remarkably, bee pollen it consists of over 200 substances, including amino acids, essential fatty acids, a wide spectrum of vitamins, micronutrients, and flavonoids. Research has highlighted some unique healing and nutritional properties of bee pollen as well.
#1 -- Bee Pollen May Help With Detoxification.
Well-documented studies suggest bee pollen is an effective tool in detoxing the body from toxic substances. In one example, rats were given organic solvents and administered bee pollen. The bee pollen helped lower the blood serum levels of these substances and protected the liver cells from their harmful effects. These studies acknowledge the potential detoxifying potential of bee pollen and bee bread in heavy metal contamination, occupational diseases, industrial gases and dust, and drugs (source).
#2 -- Bee Pollen Shows Powerful Anti-Inflammatory Potential.
A research paper reviewing the literature on bee pollen states, "Its magnitude is compared to such nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs] as naproxen, analgin, phenylbutazone, or indomethacin." Clinical studies have shown a powerful effect of bee pollen for sufferers of non-bacterial prostate inflammation. Patients experienced almost complete pain relief when administered bee pollen. Other studies suggest it may be a promising treatment for prostate cancer and in strengthening the body's resistance against cytotoxicity. Another study showed the potential of bee pollen to ameliorate the inflammatory effects of neurotoxic agents.
#3 -- Bee Pollen Can Help With Seasonal Allergies.
Seasonal allergy sufferers may already be aware of this well-known use for bee pollen. It's said to protect cells from releasing histamine which is what instigates allergic reactions (source). Bee pollen protects mast cells of the organisms from degranulation -- the process that releases histamine which is the instigator of allergic reactions. For this to be effective, however, the bee pollen must be locally sourced and administered several weeks prior to the pollination season. Mixing honey with bee pollen may also increase the healing potential of honey and provide additional support for its traditional medical uses (source).
#4 -- Bee Pollen Is A Valuable Source of Nutrients.
Studies suggest bee pollen's potential in restoring nutrient levels in both children and adults who are malnourished or struggle with a loss of appetite during post-surgery recovery. By improving blood supply to nervous tissue, bee pollen can help to improve mental performance and strengthen the nervous system when threatened by tiredness and exhaustion (source). This can be a valuable tool for sufferers of depression in enabling improved moods and physical strength.
How To Use Bee Pollen
Wilderness Family Naturals stocks two kinds of bee pollen -- Powdered Bee Pollen and Bee Pollen Granules. Powdered bee pollen may be added to smoothies or in baking when you want an extra nutrient boost. A little goes a long way! Bee pollen granules may be sprinkled on yogurt, granola, chia pudding, or smoothie bowls.
