What You Will Learn:
Experts Discuss This Couple:
Melissa: A fine pair for daydreaming and taking care of others, but who will make sure their bills get paid on time?
Celia: Two starry eyed romantics – but no-one's remembered to buy the milk.
Jenn: This is one of the few same sign matches that can actually work out. The romantic notions of these two dreamers keeps the passion alive. However one of you will have to take over the more responsible role which since you are both dependent creatures. This in not necessarily any easy task.
Lidia: This is a soul mate relationship as you both see very quickly into your relationship. You will be very in tune with each other, emotionally and physically, which makes all of those in depth conversation and sex truly fabulous! There are not many lovers that pay complete attention to the way you react to the slightest of touches in the bedroom and if there is one thing your partner will be good at, it is learning what you do and don't want in that department! This over abundance of love can cause some jealousy every now and again, so try to speak about your feelings before you begin to read each other and come up with a mixture of interpretations.
Be prepared to take this slower than you want to and you can make it last a lifetime, rushing will only make you set goals for your love higher and you will get stressed because they are out of your reach within the time frames you set.
Laura: When a Pisces and Pisces enter into a relationship, it's likely that the sensitivity will be heightened, which only adds to the potential for a strong, deep romance. This pair will be able to read each other with barely a word mentioned between them. Highly intuitive and very mindful of other people's feelings, they won't want to bruise each other very often, with hurtful comments or criticisms.
Heidi: Physically these two get along great, however, they have a problem providing emotional stability and fulfillment for the other. They could bring out the worst in each other, permitting negative and depressed feelings.
Keley: This can be a surprisingly successful relationship. These two will have a very romantic time, as they both understand the need for tenderness and intimacy. The only problems could be on the material plane, so one of these two should be fairly grounded.
Marcus: These two will love and cherish each other dearly. Loyalty and devotion is not the problem for the double Fish combination. The obstacles may lie in getting these two moving. Pisces is often so laid back and cool, some may say wishy-washy, that this relationship may be in danger of petering out prematurely. These two gravitate to each other naturally and are very compatible, almost on a telepathic level. Pisces have a great gift of being sensitive to others feelings, and these two will play off each other beautifully.
David: A pair of emotional, dreamy Pisceans can relate in ways that escape others. But who's going to take care of business? Unfortunately, probably no one.
Pisces Man and Pisces Woman
The love relationship between Pisces women and Pisces men would be exactly like a dream. Both of them have similar thoughts, similar ideas and similar feelings. Both of them like to keep to themselves and would want to have an emotional connection before anything else happens. Both of them have similar ideologies and hence would get along great. There would however be one problem. Both the Pisces men and women live in dreams and are not practical at all. Both might face some problems in terms of practicality in life, keeping in mind the money issues and others as well.
Pisces and Pisces Friendship
These two as a couple have the same goals when it comes to friendship. Due to this a very strong bond between the two of you will be created.
Pisces and Pisces Relationship
As lovers:
As we know relationships take time and work, but with patience this combination can create a lot of unconditional love. The devotion between you both will be real and positive.

The 2017 Honda Civic Sedan Offers Incredible Performance
The 2017 Honda Civic Sedan can walk the line between engaging performance and satisfying efficiency ratings like almost no other compact model on the market. Power comes on fast to let you zip through the city, but you'll find that your ride stays calm and composed when you need to really hit the gas to keep up or make passes on the highway. The Civic Sedan really is the best of both worlds, and it uses two available power engine options and transmissions to make such performance possible.
Engine Options
The Civic has always been the model that drivers are attracted to if they want to combine the energetic performance of a coupe with the dimensions of a compact sedan. The 2017 continues to live up to those expectations, with even standard models benefiting from a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine capable of putting 158-hp and 138 lb.-ft. of torque at your disposal.
If you'd like to turbocharge your output, opt for the available 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder. Able to generate up to 174-hp and 167 lb.-ft. of torque, it puts the Civic Sedan's output on par with many midsize models. Packing such punch with only the weight of a compact to deal with, the 1.5L engine allows for lightning responsiveness and agility.
No matter your choice of engine, you'll enjoy the freedom to selection between one of two high-end transmission systems.
- Six-Speed Manual: Like to feel the shift in your hand and control it yourself? The manual is perfect, and it allows for up to 28 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway with the 2.0L or up to 31 mpg city and 42 mpg highway with the 1.5L*.
- Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): Representing the next-generation of transmission technology, CVT systems use an innovative belt system to replicate the efficiency of manual while retaining the convenience of automatic. You can expect up to a sensational 31 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway with the 2.0L or a staggering 32 mpg city and 42 mpg highway with the 1.5L*.
Performance and Efficiency
Honda truly took the time to optimize the ride and fuel economy of the Civic Sedan, resulting in far more to shout about that simply the powertrain. Further engineering features include:
- MacPherson strut suspension and a lightweight, rigid Honda ACE body structure to improve responsiveness.
- ECON button to optimize the drive systems of your Civic Sedan for enhanced efficiency.
- Drive-by-Wire throttle system that integrate with vehicle control technologies for greater control and safety.

Meet Neon Brown, a robot made from 3D printed parts, kielbasa and a hotdog. Yes, really.
Before we get into the how, you're most likely asking "why, why, why". Creator Sarah Petkus explains the birth of her "sausage child" in the YouTube description of Neon Brown in action. It was made as part of HeboCon, an event at Petkus' makerspace which she describes as a " derpy robot fighting challenge".
From the video it looks like HeboCon tasks entrants with creating a machine to compete in a sumo match in which the winner pushes its opponent out of the ring. It's charmingly silly.
Now for the "how". This tower of sausage is based on a design referred to as a "Delta robot". This method of making machine is often used in factories and, most recently, 3D printers.
Petkus is well-versed in this particular breed, as she used 100 of them to create an art installation called "Light Play". Think of Neon Brown above, but replace the hotdog with a light and you have an entrancing piece of robotic art.
Now,we know that there was no real reason for using meat where plastic, metal or almost anything else would have worked. But that's the point of makerspaces and events like HeboCon. These are spaces where anything goes and the focus is on fun and learning above all else.
We highly doubt a single child at that event won't be waxing lyrical about the meaty might that they saw fight at a makerspace one eventful night. It's events like this that inspire the next generation of artists, engineers and more that keep the world going.
Now if you found the video above a bit short and want more of the insanity, we've included a video below of another Hebocon that took place in Japan. Please give it a watch but we must warn you: one of the creations uses sex toys as its mode of locomotion…

The shortest month of the year has come and gone, and we had lots to celebrate here in the world of bi and lesbian women. Ladies were loving other ladies all over the place, and not just on Valentine's Day. We celebrated Black History Month with a bisexual anthem from Janelle Monáe, and lots of good news from Lena Waithe. Ellen Page has a new movie! The Charmed remake is officially gay as hell, and the Winter Olympics gave us some serious pride. Lez get started!
Gina Rodriguez plays a butch lesbian in Annihilation
You might have heard of the trippy, sci-fi rollercoaster that is Annihilation, which hit theaters over the weekend. Maybe you read the book, or maybe you read about the white-washing controversy that hung like a dark cloud over the promotion of the film. What you might not have heard, though, is that it has a lesbian lead. What, you say? YES.
Gina Rodriguez plays Anya Thorensen, a paramedic and recovering addict who volunteers to go into the Shimmer. While the film doesn't focus on her sexuality, it's made clear as soon as her character is introduced and she openly flirts with Natalie Portman's character Lena. She's a badass butch, and you should probably get your ticket right now to support this representation.
Ellen Page's new film has premiered
Ellen Page has both acting and producing credits for the new film The Cured, which premiered on February 20th in Los Angeles. IFC Films released the horror film in both theaters and On Demand on February 23rd. Here are some photos of our fave from the event.

Most people don't really consider volleyball as a sport per se. Probably because mainly volleyball has been for a long time just a fun game to play to pass by time like on the beach since it is reasonably fun and enjoyable to play.
For those who don't play the sport, they can result to watching the sport. However, watching volleyball isn't quite as fun because there is really not much going on anyway, the sport is kind of slow and lags.

Once a day I send a random message. A text, email, Facebook message. In any form. Usually to someone I haven't talked to in a while, but sometimes to someone I know is going through a tough time. Its a simple message, usually along the lines of 'hey! I hope you're having a great day today!' Or 'I was just thinking about you and wanted to say hi! Hope you're doing well!'
It takes 30 seconds, and (I assume) puts a smile on someones face.
I started doing it because last summer when we were going through a tough time I received a few of those type of random messages and it made me feel less alone, and thought of. It made me feel like someone cared.
We don't know everyone's internal struggles. But knowing someone is thinking of you, its often enough to brighten the day a little.
So I am going to offer a challenge. I am going to challenge every one of you amazing people who read this to spread a smile. For every day in February, send a quick message to someone you don't talk to often, or someone you know is struggling. You don't need to post about it, or even tell anyone you're doing it. But, I bet you'll feel good doing it 🙂
Love, hugs and more to come later

It Is So Bloody Scary Though.
After years of incidents of random deaths from Ebola in parts of central Africa, the world is watching the current spread of this disease that has raised alarm to extreme heights.
A book written in the last decade of the 20th century by Tom Clancy, Executive Order, both added to the fear factor and hinted at the obstacle to wide and fast spread of the viral infection that has quite dramatic symptoms as the end stage.
Ebola starts out as a flue like malady with very low infectious capability after an incubation of up to three weeks.
The last days of the disease have horrific symptoms of bleeding from the dying body and that is when the maximum infectious stage is reached when any contact with the discharge is almost certain to lead to infection spread.
In Clancy's book converting the spread from fluid contact to an aerosol configuration was a significant thread of the plot to enable its use as a weapon.
That ability could still evolve naturally as the virus mutates.
However we still have an innate protection in its present form but only by strict total observation of serious management systems.
Most developed countries with a regime of safety built into patient contact are well equipped to resist an outbreak, however as with the Nurse at present in quarantine on the Australian Gold coast, careless wiping of a contaminated protective glove on unprotected skin has the potential to end badly.
During my recent "other life" since retirement. primary medical care has put in place systems to protect its staff from Bird flue, SARS, HIV, Hepatitus and other potential lethal infectious diseases that with Air Travel can explode exponentially at any time into endemic and pandemic outbreaks.
In the chaotic ending of WW1 "Spanish Flue" swept the globe killing people in greater numbers than the Great War had, even with its move to industrial slaughter.
Troops returning home to all parts of the globe from Europe took that mutated deadly flue virus with them on ships and although some ships were quarantined to prevent the spread such moves only slowed its progress.
The pandemic enveloped almost the entire world population causing very fit and healthy victims to die in numbers unknown since the Plague.
Ebola in its present form has nothing like the ability to spread that the many mutations of influenza possess.
When a traveller lies to evade basic control systems of course such an act of stupidity can have devastating outcome as with the idiot Duncan who died in a Texas Hospital from Ebola but afaik his infection has not led to any further exposure but it could still happen with the quite long incubation period.
Health volunteers will still wish to go to Sierra Leone and other infected zones and good on them, it is the only humanitarian response that will lead to relief and control.
Just shutting a gate is not what many will wish to embrace however some will make such calls.
However intensive monitoring of movement and in particular air travel coupled with basic precautions will control the spread with the desire of many to help and bring relief but dishonest responses to basic protocols can lead to an unravelling that will only add to the fear factor.
More than 8 times as many people died on US roads last year than have died in this very serious Ebola event so far.
Current annual world malaria related deaths run at 150 times the 4000 deaths counted so far in the current Ebola crisis, 627 000 dead in 2012.
As my late Dad said more than once in response to deaths of farm animals "where there are live ones there will be dead ones".
Just as the first casualty of war is truth, with an event such as this the first big casualty numbers will be from fear, much of it irrational.

I admire the courage of volunteers who have gone to West Africa to help these poverty stricken countries manage this disease. However, it would be MUCH cheaper and SAFER if the UN would set up a quarantine base in each affected country where these volunteers or other people who have been in contact with the diseased patients could wait out for 3 weeks before departing home. One hotel in each international departure city could be designated, and all that would be required would be a check out when the clearance time was met symptom free. The cost and inconvenience for this would be negligable when you consider what has already happened in Australia, USA, and UK. Why do we have such a useless international organisation as the UN - no leadreship and no clue would be my guess. God it is so obvious, but then, they do have egos to massage.

Scene from Platoon
{Chaos and confusion reigns, fear panic and death is near, the fog of war}
Sgt. Barnes: [To CDC/Barack Hussein Obama]
You ignorant asshole!!!
What the fuck coordinates you giving???
You wasted a lot of people up there with your fucked-up pandemic response!!!
You know that???
You know that???
....Ah, shit!!!
Sgt. Barnes: Y'all take a good look at this lump of shit. Remember what it looks like.
You fuck up in a pandemic and I goddamn guarantee you a trip out of the bush in a body bag!!!
Out here, assholes, you keep your shit wired tight at all times!!!
[To 'the keep calm crowd']
Sgt. Barnes: And that goes for you, shit-for-brains. You don't run your mouth on no fucking ebola-pandemic!!!

Corrie fans have been warned that resident psycho tormentor and killer, Pat Phelan's reign of terror is far from over. Here is a list of potential victims that could, or should be on Phelan's Hitlist.
TODD GRIMSHAW (Bruno Langley) We know that Bruno will be disappearing from the soap soon due to circumstances off screen that led to the character being written out. Could this be used as another murder plot for Phelan? Todd knows Phelan is a dodgy bloke and has always been suspicious of the builders' involvement in Michael Rodwell's death. Phelan wouldn't think twice about wiping Todd out, or possibly stitching him up if he feared he was about to be exposed.
EILEEN PHELAN (Sue Cleaver) Without sons, Jason and Todd, Eileen has no family in Weatherfield. She's openly stood by her man throughout accusations made against him and is blinded by love. Phelan could justify killing Eileen in the similar terms he used to kill Andy/Gavin… Phelan felt Andy wouldn't be able to live with himself after shooting Vinny, so how could Eileen continue to live on the street knowing her beloved has conned her son, friends and neighbours as well as being a rapist, kidnapper and murderer? She'd be broken and having to face Gail Rodwell would be further torture for her.
ANNA WINDASS (Debbie Rush) Another character leaving the soap early in 2018. We all know that there's plenty beef between Anna and Phelan and every time Anna tries to expose or confront him, Pat always shuts her down. Could he shut her down for good? Anna would never just up and leave her kids, Gary and Faye so her exit has to be believable to the viewers.
IZZY ARMSTRONG (Cherylee Houston) There's no reason for Phelan to target Izzy but she's on the DS Hitlist because her character is pretty pointless. Her last major storyline was when she was sent to prison for using marijuana to aid her pain relief. Since she was released we've heard nothing about her pain, it just disappeared. With the factory now shut, we see Izzy occasionally in the Rovers or in the background of a scene, rolling in her chair on the cobbles or in the cafe. If she's not moaning to Gary or about Gary, what is her character really doing? In recent scenes where Izzy's sister Katy died, she barely had a minute of on-screen time to show her grief. I can't actually recall a scene between Izzy and nephew Joseph, who has returned to live with dad Chesney and is obviously having difficulty settling in. Why aren't writers including his aunt in scenes with him? There seems to be no investment in her character, so Phelan bumping her off would be no loss.
ZEEDAN NASIR (Qasim Akhtar) Qasim is a brilliant actor (Shameless) who is wasted in Corrie. Zeedan's wife, Rana is secretly lusting after Kate, which is obviously going to lead into an affair at some point, so where does that leave Zee? I don't want to watch him turn into a Dev replica; ever forgiving and putting up with his woman's wrongs. I don't want to see him in the soap purely because he's representing a character of colour. The producers need to make him interact with the younger male characters more. All we're seeing now is a young Muslim chef who loves his family and adores his wife, yet there isn't enough depth in the character for viewers to care that he's about to be deceived. Qasim is worth much more than that. Zeedan has no direct link to Phelan but if he discovered that Pat was behind the scam; which saw his grandmother being conned into buying one of the flats that never existed, there could be a deadly confrontation.
KEN BARLOW (William Roache) OK, so I went there… Kill off Ken Barlow. I'm sorry, I know he's an original character, a Corrie legend but I'm over him. He looks as bored and lost on screen as I am watching him. Watching his scenes only makes me miss Deidre (Anne Kirkbride) even more.
Other characters that nearly featured on the Phelan Hitlist and are viewed as "Pointless" or "Annoying" by our Donnatella's Space Team are:
Maria Connor, Sean Tully, Simon Barlow, Yazmeen Nazir, Cathy Matthews and Fizz Stape

VAPID TWUNT, TEXAS — This morning, right-wing firebrand commentator and Fox News contributor Tabasco Lahren told Fox & Friends that she didn't watch the Oscars, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel on ABC last night. Kimmel's monologue included comedic jabs at President Trump, Vice President Pence, and the Republican Party. But Tributary told the Fox hosts she missed the entire awards show, despite earlier tweets about it.
Oscar Day! Can't wait to watch a bunch of entitled Hollywood liberals dedicate another award show to their Trump obsession 👏🏼
— Tomi Lahren (@TomiLahren) March 4, 2018
"Um, I like, totally didn't end up watching the Hollyweird Snowflake Awards, Brian," Ms. Lahren told Brian Kilmeade this morning. "I wasn't about to subject myself to the godless sexual deviants on parade, not on the Lord's Day. So I did something patriotic."
The hosts asked Tambourine what she did with her time instead of watching the Oscars.
"I watched some old tapes of Dear President, of course," Lahren responded. "Specifically, I watched that Access Hollywood tape. And I've got to say, I'm so glad I didn't watch a bunch of people tell me that I have to accept gay people and instead listened to the future President of the United States brag about grabbing women's genitalia and getting away with it only because he's a celebrity…wait a minute."
Suddenly, Tilapia went quiet. Reportedly, everyone behind the scenes at Fox & Friends grew nervous, having never experienced a moment with Lahren that wasn't filled with at least some high-pitched screeching or screaming. Lahren put her finger to her forehead, as she'd seen people with human brains do to indicate they were thinking.
Report: President Trump Still Likes Russian Whore Piss And Wants To Fuck His Daughter
"Wait. Orange Daddy was on a show called Access Hollywood, and the libtards are meeting in Hollywood for their snowflake awards," Lahren said, as if she was a character on Scooby Doo, piecing together a mystery in her head. "And that was because at the time he was on a bigly NBC show called The Apprentice. Which means he was in the entertainment industry, which means…he was in the Libtarded Mainstream Establishment press! WAIT, WOULDN'T THAT MEAN…HE USED TO BE…ONE OF THEM! OH NO!"
Suddenly, Fox & Friends went to commercial. When they came back, the hosts resumed interviewing Trichonosis, except in her place was a broomstick in a Nazi uniform hooked up to a speaker that blared Breitbart headlines. Fox News execs report there were no calls from viewers, wondering what had happened to Tilamook Lompoc.
"Look, all I can say is this," Lahren said after the commercial break. "I know good, clean, ammo hoarding, pubescent girl chasing patriots like Roy Moore wouldn't be on the Oscars, so why would a Bible loving, gun clinging conservative like me put my eyeballs on that wretched celebration of amorality and disgusting behavior?"
Tibia paused for a moment.
"Some women want to be moved on like a bitch," Lahren said emphatically, "and if my president wants to grab me by my pussy, then hand me a red, white, and blue thong, bitches, and he can grab away. Anything to stop Sharia Commie Mom Jean Wearing Obama from coming back to put a Muslim Voodoo hex on us, am I right?"
The Fox & Friends hosts all mumbled and nodded as a commercial about buying gold in a bunker made from recycled Cold War era ICMBs came on.

Ask yourself, "Who is the easiest person to sell to?"
First thoughts that come to mind are people you have already established good rapport with such as your friends, neighbors or relatives.
You may think they won't all be a good fit for your product or service, but what you really want to do is spread personal brand awareness so when your neighbor Bob gets a call from Sally in New York...
Sally tells Bob, "we're moving to Arizona to buy a new house".
Bob introduces you to Sally.
You help out a new friend.
The clock ticks away and soon enough a sweet deposit arrives in the bank.
Be the first "real estate" relationship on Bob's mind.
According to a Colombia report, the average American knows about 600 people. Your second and third degree connections will exponentialize fast!
Naturally, consumer trusted advisor services bring you -on average- the best return when leveraging your personal network. Let's take a quick look at three industries that position the trusted advisor role to rely heavily on personal referrals:
Real Estate
According to 2018 Real Estate Tech Trends Report by Properties Online, personal referrals was the top rated source on how home buyers found their real estate agent with 42% coming from a referral from a friend, neighbor or relative. On top of that 15% of buyers chose their agent because they're a friend or family member!
In a 2017 Legal Trends Report by Clio - the most comprehensive cloud-based practice management platform for the legal industry, when looking to acquire new clients, the consumer study suggests traditional advertising is less effective than building a referral network and investing in online marketing. In fact, personal referrals was the top rated source with 62% of consumers seeking a lawyer through a referral from a friend or family member.
Do you use Clio?
Read more about their PieSync integration here.
Financial Advisors
According to a 2014 Wealth Management Survey by Ernst & Young, EY asked clients what drives them to buy from a Financial Advisor. Personal referrals was the top rated reason for both Baby boomers & older at 86% and Next Gen at 89%.
If you rely heavily on personal referrals, fit the trusted advisor role for your clients, or are even starting a new business, then you may want to build a plan for reaching out to your personal network to help generate sales and referrals. But before we discuss network outreach ideas, let's get your contacts into your CRM for regular follow up and marketing. If you don't have a Customer Relationship Management software yet, I recommend you check out Insightly CRM boasting an impressive 1.5 million users worldwide.
After your CRM is ready for use, let's find the best way to integrate your contacts into your CRM. I recommend using Piesync to sync your personal relationships with your CRM and group those contacts accordingly using names such as "Friends" or "Family".
Full Disclosure: The author Micah Feldkamp is an Insightly Hero, CRM consultant, and Piesync Referral Partner specializing in CRM software implementations. Book a free 30 minute Insightly Consultation with Micah Feldkamp at email@example.com.
Ready? Let's start networking:
1. Make regular appearances in-person or over the phone.
Tip: When you're at your friends place, you can quickly add their location to your Google Contacts list using Google Maps and turn on Notifications for Personal Places to alert you whenever you're within 30m from your contact's address. You can also turn on Location Sharing to share your real-time location for the friends and family you trust most. Never miss an opportunity to make an appearance.
2. Reach out regularly on social media.
3. Accept social media event invitations and show your support.
Tip: Integrate your social media events with your calendar, so you don't miss it. When you are there with your friend, ask for an introduction. Don't be shy!
4. Give back to your community with your family at religious organizations, animal shelters, or host sports games at the park.
5. Create a five second "elevator pitch" to spread personal brand awareness when your friend asks what you do.
Tip: There is a fine line when reaching out to your personal network between silence on what you do for a living and overselling. Chances are... if your friend already likes you and knows you love your work, they will buy or refer you clients.
When you are with your friends and family, simply remind them from time to time about what you do by bringing up your passion for a work related project. Ask for referrals too and ask with confidence. When they hear the words "home" and "find", your friends and family will automatically think of you!
PieSync is the perfect tool to sync your personal contacts (Microsoft, Google, Apple) with your CRM keeping both business and personal contact lists up-to-date in real-time. Look to Piesync's Ultimate Guide for Contact Management for more helpful tips on integrating your personal contacts with your CRM.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not usually the conspiracy theory kind of guy. In fact, I'm anything but, and I endorse all manner of logical thought and reasoning. You know, stuff based on evidence. Stuff that can be proven. Especially when it comes to issues of health, no stakes are to be taken.
So you might think that I'm totally against homoeopathic medicine, which, in effect, is basically water. But I have just lately realized the true ingenuity behind it. Whoever invented homoeopathic treatment was none other than a pure genius. Not in medicine, of course; near-infinite dilution doesn't sound like a plausible remedy; but in psychology and human behaviour. A marketing genius. A people genius.
Think about it. Many harmful symptoms and health problems are not caused by bacteria or viruses, but are the result of our own mind. Mental stress, for example, can cause headaches and nausea but can be said to be relatively "self induced". So while we can take pills to alleviate the symptoms, proper mental control can also reduce the problem.
Ach, but it's so rather difficult to just "change our state of mind", and make our body more at ease. Sadly, while we have control over many muscles, we barely control how we feel and what hormones we exert. Humans are quite lame at those things, and cannot do it alone. We cannot just "turn off the pain". What we really need an external factor to help us change. If only there was something that could induce us to do so. Something that tells us, "there there, from now on, everything is going to be alright. Everything is going to get better". Something cheap. Something that has no side effects.
Enter the placebo. A brilliant solution. You give a man a pill and say "this is certified treatment! It will remove your headache right away". And viola! Two hours later, the man is fit as a fiddle and ready to go. Of course, the pill itself contains literally quite nothing; a dud. This mental trickery has been tested frequently, and is in fact so common and strong that nowadays new drugs are tested against placebos, and not against "no treatment".
Alas, you cannot just put a box of pills at the pharmacy and label it "placebo". It defies the whole concept. Placebos, once uncovered as such, are quite ineffective. A man has to be unaware that he is taking it for it to work.
And hereby the innovation of homoeopathy is quite apparent. In many studies, homoeopathic treatments have been shown to be about as effective as placebos. This is because… they are placebos! Think of it this way: a person taking it thinks that it will work. In essence, he is just taking water. Exactly like the case we described above. Placebo!
In an ingenious marketing, advertising, and ethically eyebrow-raising move, homoeopathy's inventors and proponents have managed to find a way to sell a placebo to the public, without a large percentage of the public realizing it. Effective remedies can be sold en-masse, because they contain nothing other than water. We have plenty of that.
Of course, somewhere along the way, this plan went astray. While placebos are highly effective against pains, they are also highly ineffective against cancers. If anything, they only make matters worse, because while someone is taking them he is less prone to be engaging in real, medically proven treatments.
As far as pain relief goes, I'm not entirely against selling placebos to the public. It's a cheap and efficient way of curing pain and stress, and the ethical damage is not great – it would seem silly for the users to complain afterwards, "you lied to us! The cure worked but for the wrong reasons, we demand retribution!". This does not mean that I would outwardly support homoeopathy clinics, but it's one less thing to worry about. However, such placebos should not be given as treatment against anything severe or life threatening, or as treatment for actual diseases. Small chances that they can heal malaria. If the proper regulation is enforced, I think that homoeopathy can be turned into a boon, instead of a medical nuisance.
The Greatest Ruse of Them All
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not usually the conspiracy theory kind of guy. In fact, I'm anything but, and I endorse all manner of logical thought and reasoning. You know, stuff based on evidence. Stuff that can be proven. Especially when it comes to issues of health, no stakes are to be taken.

You are here
Peter McCrea FRICS
Peter McCrea FRICS is a Surveyor Member of the Upper Tribunal, Lands Chamber. He was previously a Chartered Surveyor in private practice for 25 years where his roles included Arbitrator, Independent Expert, Expert Witness, APC assessor and a member of RICS governing council.
"The Surveyor Member role is rather unusual; we are full-time salaried judicial office holders without any formal qualification in law, but crucial to the Lands Chamber's functioning as an expert Tribunal.
"I am based at the Royal Courts of Justice in London where most of our cases are heard. The Tribunal work also takes me round the country for hearings and site inspections and I can work from home. I work with a small group of colleagues which fosters a friendly and collegiate ethos and there's always an opportunity to discuss complicated issues and share views.
"The Lands Chamber deals with property disputes at both first instance and appellate level. It's busy, but the balance of time spent in hearings and time for preparation and decision writing allows me the opportunity to think carefully about difficult valuation problems, knowing that my conclusions may provide a precedent for many other cases.
"I often hear cases alone, especially when the issue between the parties is purely one of valuation. When the law is also in dispute, I sit with a judge, as an equal partner on the tribunal, not as a technical assistant or assessor to the 'proper' judge. We both decide the case, and we both write the decision.
"When I was appointed to the Tribunal I was concerned that the work might not be as varied as in private practice. That reservation proved completely wrong – our jurisdictions and the subject matters that they cover are extremely diverse.
"While hearing a case the Tribunal becomes an expert in a wide range of often esoteric fields, many of which the average surveyor in practice would never encounter. In the last few years I have had to become familiar with the operation of combined-cycle gas fired power stations, forward buying in the electricity wholesale markets and how mobile phone networks operate.
"The surveyor Member brings special expertise in the assessment of valuation evidence and an understanding of the property market. We have stood in the witness box ourselves in former careers, and bring our experience in practice to bear when assessing the reliability and credibility of expert witnesses.
"I have found the role fascinating, challenging and rewarding in equal measure, and I'm sure you will too."

Torah is the word of G-d - no need to apologize
14 comments :
So does that mean that even the stuff that's wrong -- like babies not being able to survive the 8th month -- are true?ReplyDeleteReplies
no - but that is a totally different topicDelete
- BatmelechMay 29, 2012 at 7:59 PM
That is my good, old S. R. Hirsch: fully of lofty pathos, which is, I suppose, easier to understand in the original German than in translations.ReplyDelete
However, in practice, law and philosophy of law do not work like this, nor does jewish law work like this.
In practice, there is seldom one absolute best solution, in general law-making and jurisprudence require balancing of different, often contradictory interesests.
LIkewise, the torah sets out ideals and aspirations, as well as explicit laws, which always have to be balanced one against the other. In this balancing process, the spirit of the time plays an important role.
Therefore, the "judgement of the priestly class" is just as important in determining halacha as the "eternal word of the Almighty". There is no opposing one against the other. Jewish law has always changed and can always change according to the spirit of the time, and there is always ample room to accomodate "a pious mask under which a priestly caste has imposed its views on the people", as we see in many past and contemporary events. (see, for example, your own struggle in favour of juvenile sex abuse victims, where the "priestly cast" had strong views that you deem unjust.)
- BatmelechMay 29, 2012 at 8:04 PM
For the time I have been reading this blog I thought a lot about jewish law.ReplyDelete
For example, I came to the conclusion: since the validity of witnesses is so important, if a whole society was consistently governed by jewish law, the defense lawyers of that society would have as a primary task find fault with the life of the witness (in order to invalidate them as kosher witnesses). Trials would not so much about finding out the truth, but a fight between solicitors and defense about the reputation of the witnesses...Replies
Batmelech - I admire your idealism - but not the nasty spin you insist on putting on everything. I don't know why you are so bitter. Your conclusion that Judaism isn't concerned about establishing the truth - simply doesn't follow.Delete

I did not say that Judaism is not concerned about establishing the truth - but actually, you yourself brought examples where judaism is not concerned about establishing the truth: take the example of mamzerim, where the evidence of paternity tests would be ignored (Judaism prefers to overlook mamzerim rather than establish the truth).Delete
- BatmelechMay 29, 2012 at 8:40 PM
What I meant in this post was:Delete
imagine a society going mainly according to witnesses in criminal and civil justice. The mainly preoccupation of defense attorneys would be to invalidate witnesses against the defendent.
That the reality does not go according to lofty ideals - you see it every day in hareidi society, no need to prove that, I suppose...
Batmelech - you keep ignoring what I sayDelete
" take the example of mamzerim, where the evidence of paternity tests would be ignored (Judaism prefers to overlook mamzerim rather than establish the truth)."
A mamzer is sort of like a recessive gene. It doesn't manifest itself unless it is established to be true. There is no issur involved in marrying an un-outed mamzer. It has nothing to do with the concern for the truth.
- BatmelechMay 29, 2012 at 10:24 PM
Bad comparison. Actually Mamzerut is like a dominant gene, since it is transmitted equally by the father and by the mother...Delete
So on the one hand, jewish law chooses to ignore mamzerim, even if an angered non-father (husband) brings proof via a negative paternity test.
On the other hand, this blog has been brandishing the Mamzerut-weapon for all kinds of Gittin that might or might not be forced...
Where is the consistency?
If you choose to ignore, ignore the forced get, where's the problem? Why is it so much more difficult to ignore "persuasion techniques" than paternity tests???
It's possible Batmelech is noting something that you yourself once pointed out: for the halachic system of justice to work, all the participants need to be in complete fear of God. The system does not have much of a contingency plan for people that are prepared to lie. Consider: a modeh b'miktzas has to swear and then he gets off from the balance of his obligation. But for me to accept that situation I have to believe that the modeh b'miktzas actually worries about swearing falsely!ReplyDelete

I wonder what practical examples Rav Hirsch was actually thinking about when he wrote this paragraph, particularly the part about not being "taught by the age". His followers certainly were taught by the age in a sense. His descendents and expositors wrote numerous novels, which was certainly a newfangled thing inspired by German culture, some became Kantian philosophers (yes, apparently you can do that while being frum), and even quasi-Marxist political philosophers (I'm thinking of Rav Isaac Breuer). So being "taught by the age" didn't mean not being influenced by philosophical and artistic trends.ReplyDelete
By the way, those interested in the agunah issue might want to take a look at Rav Hirsch's Horeb, chapter 51, paragraph 377. It's not about the topic specifically, but certainly challenges those who feel that there's nothing wrong with permanently keeping their wives from remarrying.

"So being "taught by the age" didn't mean not being influenced by philosophical and artistic trends."ReplyDelete
That's true. Because hirsch himself is totally a child of his time. He writes in the style of his contemporary writers in Germans, his Euro-centristic image of the world ("primitive tribes", etc) is typical for colonial Europe, he even dresses like a lutheran minister. (I suppose that was the fashion for Rabbis of his time).
Plus he defends torah when there are contradictions with his current mentality (I think on the theme of slavery, for example), but only in a theoretic way: he does not ask to re-introduce slavery as sketched in the torah, he just says that slavery according to the torah was less inhumane than in other contexts.
- yeshayaMay 30, 2012 at 5:06 PM
Batmelech: Yes, but since he was writing at a time when people extolled ethical humanism, his writings are filled with a really sincere and beautiful ethical vision of Judaism, which I think (in light of views you've expressed on the agunah issue) you might really appreciate. I don't have Horeb with me now, but check out the chapters on love, tzedadah and gemilut chassadim, and the one I referenced above.ReplyDelete
Although Rav Hirsch did presumably write in the style of his time, keep in mind that the last English translation was in the 1960s, when Americans were still used to long, complex sentences. A translation today might strike us as less foreign, in terms of writing style.
It seems that while Rav Hirsch and his descendents and followers believed that the Torah was 100% true and to be followed, they also believed in incorporating the best of the ideas of the age in their worldview, including their vision of what Judaism is and should be. What would a Hirchian response to the feminism of the 20th century be? I don't know, but I would think that it would reject the egalitarianism of the Conservatives, while taking seriously women's suffering (such as agunot) and the interests of many women to have more opportunities for advanced Torah study, secular education and leadership in Jewish organizations.Replies
- BatmelechMay 30, 2012 at 8:06 PM
I read the commentary to the chumash, in German (not all of it, but quite some), and you often find sentences of 10 lines and more - that is typical pathos-laden german intellectual style of that time and after (see Thomas Mann who is famous for it).Delete
It is true, he embraces beautiful, sincere humanitarian values. When I read this blog here, I come to the conclusion that he misrepresents true Judaism, since true Judaism (as it is presented on this blog) does not embrace many of those values.
Indeed, Hirsch takes quite some pain to show that Judaism is NOT at odds with the positive values of his time, in order to make it palatable to his fellow German Jews who, to a great extend, followed the movements of enlightenment and rationalism. He fights against the idea that jewish values should be outdated (at his time).
Honestly, I never perceived any kind of "male supremacism" in Hirschs writings, but now that you say so, it is true: neither could I argue that he embraced egalitarinsm.
According to his spirit I would suppose that he would embrace voting rights for women, etc, if he were alive today. On the other hand, the only hirschian community of a German-speaking country I know does not allow women to vote or even participate in the General Assembliy. But then: It is said that in Hirsch's school boys did not wear Yarmulkes during non-religious lessons... So it is quite hard to distinguish what are myths, assumptions, and what is reality.
By the way: When I read "der Judenstaat", I discovered that Herzl was against democracy and had quite strong class prejudice. This is mentionned nowhere in the myth about Herzl. From this I learn that we easily project our modern-day values on other generations who might not have shared them, even if they were just a century away.

Actually it's from last week, but I didn't have the time to post.
Glad at least I found time to workout :))) Ha ha.
Glad at least I found time to workout :))) Ha ha.
Besides, I'm out of inspiration, can't find good names for my workouts. If you have any ideas feel free to suggest.
So I went to the gym without a plan. Actually the plan was to do only some early morning, fasting cardio. But I got bored on the treadmill after only 15-20 min. and put together a short but effective Chest & Back workout. It really works if you use heavier weights or resistance. You can even put on a weighted vest for the bodyweight exercises.
Just Another Chest & Back WO
This workout has four Parts. Each one has one Chest and one Back exercise. Perform #1 and #2 without rest. Go through each Part 3 times. I used dumbbells for most of the exercises, except of course for Part 4. Select weights that are challenging and will feel like really heavy for the last 2-3 reps.
Part #1:
I call it Reverse Push up...but I've seen many different names for this simple and effective exercise. It can be done with TRX, dip station, Equaliser, even a table. The easier version - flex the knees to 90-degrees angle, keeping your trunk parallel to the floor. If it still feels difficult, adjust the TRX higher.
For the advance version, watch the video below.
Part #2:
For this part you can use Dumbbells or Bar...Whatever gets you.
Part #3:
Seated Row - I did this exercise on the rowing machine, but if you don't have the access to one you can always modify.
Begin sitting on the floor, leaning back slightly with knees bent and feet on the ground. Hold the dumbbells out in front of your body with your arms straight and palms facing inward, so the dumbbells are at 90 degrees. Keeping the elbows in towards the body, bring dumbbells to your chest level as you squeeze your elbows behind your back as far as possible. Return to starting position. Add a band for extra resistance.
Part #4:
One-Arm Chest Cable Fly - The demonstration below is perfect, no need for me to add anything.
Again, you can modify by using a band instead of the cable machine. Select a band that's somewhat challenging and attach to any safe, solid object. It will be ideal if the band is attached at chest level, but even if it's lower nothing to worry.
One-Arm Reverse Fly - You can do the exercise with Dumbbells or on the Cable Machine. For a more advance option, just bent over without using the bench. This will create an extra load on your core.
I followed this workout with Rope Skipping: 10 X 10/50.
And some good stretching :)))
Enjoy and let me know if you like this workout.

As Manafort considers his options, Trump weighs in
Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade explored this in some detail last night, telling Rachel that if Manafort – who still faces another trial next month – were to work out a deal with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, he could get a reduced sentence, or perhaps even see the rest of the remaining charges dismissed.
It's against this backdrop that the president took some time this morning to offer some public praise for his former campaign chair via Twitter.
"I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. 'Justice' took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to 'break' - make up stories in order to get a 'deal.' Such respect for a brave man!"
The context of this is extraordinary. The man who led the president's political operation has an opportunity to reconsider whether to cooperate with federal investigators, who have increased leverage now that Manafort has been convicted on eight counts. Trump, of course, doesn't want his former aide to "flip."
And so, the president turned to Twitter this morning to praise Manafort, mock his own Justice Department, and emphasize the importance of not "breaking" under pressure.
It's as if Trump believes obstructing justice through tweets doesn't really count.
Rudy Giuliani said last month, "If you're going to obstruct justice, you do it quietly and secretly, not in public." Trump is putting this thesis to the test in highly provocative ways.
Postscript: The president added this morning, "A large number of counts, ten, could not even be decided in the Paul Manafort case. Witch Hunt!"
I don't imagine this was intended as humor, but it was funny all the same. Trump effectively declared that the man who led his political operation has only been convicted of eight felonies – so Trump feels some sense of vindication.

MLB Must Make it Safe For Players to Come Out
Dave Pallone, a former Major League Baseball umpire, is the author of "Behind the Mask: My Double Life in Baseball," which will be re-released in August.
June 21, 2002
If you're out in baseball, could you really be safe? That age-old question has popped up again in the last month or so, courtesy of Bobby Valentine.
The esteemed manager of the New York Mets was interviewed for Details, and was asked if baseball is ready for an openly gay ballplayer. To paraphrase his answer, he said, "Yes."
I applaud Valentine for his comments, as well as for his open-mindedness. And I believe he is right.
But when the story hit, a lot of people thought he was speaking of one of his own players, which prompted a modern-day witch hunt. Mike Piazza's name came up. The ensuing media circus was an injustice to Piazza, the entire gay community and the general public.
Such a witch hunt is nothing less than psychological rape, and it should never be condoned by baseball or, for that matter, the rest of us. What's more, it shifted the focus from Valentine's positive remarks and took us back to the 20th century.
Ever since Abner Doubleday invented the game of baseball, there have been players who are gay. There will continue to be. The question is whether they can be open about their sexual orientation and still play the game without fear of being traded or abused or ostracized by their teammates and the fans.
The answer to these questions is an emphatic yes.
While this might be a surprise to most fans, the majority of athletes know which of their teammates are gay, and they don't care. They care about winning and about how their teammates - gay or straight - play the game. While there will always be bigots in the game of baseball, most of the players accept their teammates. Players these days are far more sophisticated and educated than their predecessors, and they realize that someone's sexual orientation has nothing to do with how the game is played.
Owners, for their part, think about the business side of it. If one of the players happened to be a star - and, yes, there are gay stars - who hit 50 home runs or won 20 games a year, do you think his team's owner would trade him? No way. Skeptics will say, "But what about the average or less-than-average player?" But these guys are in danger of being traded regardless of their sexuality.
As for the fans, yes, many of them would give an openly gay player a hard time. But when don't they give players a hard time? That's part of the game and always will be.
Finally, there's the media frenzy that will ensue when a player decides to come out. The press will jump on the story as the player goes through the league for the first time, but then it'll become old news.
The fact is, there isn't an athlete out there who checks his or her sexual orientation at the player's entrance. All athletes have things that they deal with in their personal lives on a daily basis, and for some of them, that includes their sexual orientation.
But because of homophobia in the game of baseball and outside of it, gay players have been forced to live double lives. Only others who have lived in the closet will understand the struggles gay athletes go through. Constantly lying about who you are takes on its own life, and the stigma on homosexuality makes it even harder. The players, as well as the umpires, general managers and managers who happen to be gay, need to realize that once the first step is made, the stigma - and for that matter, the witch hunt - will go away, and the story will be dead.
Bobby Valentine's comments are a good first step. Now, baseball needs to follow his lead and take a stand. Owners and managers must make it known that they will emphatically support an athlete who wants to come out. They'll be proud of who he is and the accomplishments he's made, regardless of his sexual orientation.

Being good at a sport is very different from coaching a sports team. Of course, most people who become sports coaches are very good at and highly passionate about that sport to begin with. Sometimes the most successful players of their heydays decide to coach the team of that sport instead of walking into the sunset and hanging up their sporty shoes altogether. It goes without saying that the number one rule of being a sports coach is to know and understand the sport like the back of your hand. (more…)

Naltrexone is the generic form of the brand-name drug Vivitrol, which is used to prevent substance abuse in people who have been addicted to alcohol or opioid pain medications.
Examples of opioid painkillers include Norco (hydrocodone/acetaminophen), OxyContin (oxycodone), and codeine.
Some forms of this medicine may also help those who suffer from tobacco addiction, certain developmental disorders (such as autism), or other impulse control disorders (such as gambling).
Naltrexone is only one part of a complete treatment program for addiction that should also include lifestyle changes, counseling, and support.
Additionally, low doses of naltrexone have been shown to reduce symptom severity in fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, complex regional pain syndrome, and other chronic pain disorders. At present, these are off-label uses.
The drug is in a class of medicines known as opiate antagonists. It works by blocking the effects of narcotic drugs. It's available as a tablet and an injection.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved naltrexone in 2010.
Low doses of naltrexone have been shown to reduce symptom severity in multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, complex regional pain syndrome, and other chronic pain disorders.
At present, these are off-label uses.
Ask your doctor if low-dose naltrexone (LDN) is an option if you have been diagnosed with any of these conditions.
A sustained-release formulation of naltrexone has been combined with a sustained-release formulation of the bupropion (Contrave) for weight loss in people who have been diagnosed with obesity.
The FDA has not approved the combined form of naltrexone/burpropion for this use, due to concerns regarding cardiovascular-related side effects.
However, naltrexone alone has been prescribed off-label for weight loss. If you are obese or overweight, ask your doctor if naltrexone is an option for you.
Although primarily an oral drug taken in pill form, naltrexone implants, which are inserted into the lower abdominal wall under local anesthetic, have been used to treat opioid addiction and/or abuse/misuse.
Implants release a controlled amount of naltrexone into the body and are effective for three to six months.
Naltrexone implants block the effects of opiate drugs.
At present, naltrexone implants are not approved by FDA, and are only available in clinical settings offering 24-hour monitoring and supervision, such as drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities.
Naltrexone can cause liver damage when taken in doses larger than what is recommended.
Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Naltrexone shouldn't be used by people who are still using opioids or drinking large amounts of alcohol.
If you take naltrexone with high doses of opioid drugs, it may cause serious injury, coma, or death.
Your healthcare provider may order tests to determine if you've taken any opioid medicines or used any opioid street drugs in the past seven to 10 days before recommending naltrexone.
If you took opioids before naltrexone, you may be more sensitive to the effects of these painkillers when you finish treatment.
The medicine will help you avoid drugs and alcohol, but it won't prevent or relieve withdrawal symptoms. It may even worsen them.
You shouldn't take naltrexone if you have recently stopped using opioid drugs and are currently experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
Before taking naltrexone, you should tell your doctor if you have or have ever had:
People who abuse drugs or alcohol often suffer from depression and may try to harm themselves. Naltrexone won't decrease this risk.
You should tell your doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Tell your physician you are taking naltrexone before having any type of surgery, including dental procedures.
If you're taking the injectable form of this drug, you may notice pain, swelling, redness, bruising, or a hard lump at the injection site. Call your doctor if you experience these symptoms.
Continue to take naltrexone even if you feel well. Don't stop taking this medication without first talking with your physician.
In case of a medical emergency, you may want to wear a medical alert tag or carry an ID card that states you are taking naltrexone, so your health care team is aware.
The medication is only effective if it's used as part of an addiction treatment program. You should attend all counseling sessions, support group meetings, or other treatment programs recommended by your doctor.
Naltrexone might harm an unborn baby. You should talk to your doctor about using this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
It's also unknown whether naltrexone could harm a breastfeeding infant. Talk to your doctor before breastfeeding while taking this medication.
You should tell your doctor if any of the following side effects become severe or don't go away:
You should call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the symptoms listed in the warning section or any of the following serious side effects:
Before taking naltrexone, you should tell your doctor about all prescription, non-prescription, illegal, recreational, herbal, nutritional, or dietary drugs you're taking, especially:
You shouldn't consume alcohol while taking naltrexone.
Additionally, talk to your doctor about any over-the-counter (OTC) cold medicines you take that could contain alcohol.
Naltrexone may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful when driving or performing any activity that requires you to be alert.
Naltrexone comes as a tablet or as an injection.
When taken for fibromyalgia and other off-label uses, a once-daily dose of 4.5 mg is typical.
Oral Naltrexone: If it's taken at home, the drug is usually taken once a day with or without food.
If it's taken at a treatment center, naltrexone can be administered once a day, once every other day, once every third day, or once every day.
The typical dose of naltrexone is 50 milligrams (mg) a day. If it's given in a clinic setting, your health care provider may put you on a higher dose (up to 150 mg) to be taken on different days.
You can take this medicine with or without food.
Take naltrexone exactly as prescribed. You shouldn't take more or less of the drug than is recommended.
Injectable Naltrexone: The injection of naltrexone is typically given once a month by a doctor or nurse in a clinic setting.
You should receive your injections regularly to get the most benefit.
If you suspect an overdose, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately.
You can get in touch with a poison control center at (800) 222-1222.
If you miss a dose of oral naltrexone, take it as soon as you remember.
However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on your regular dosing schedule.
If you miss an injection of naltrexone, contact your healthcare provider.
