In theory at least, the Wild West days of the Internet are over. Based upon the inventions articulated in his five-patent suite, inventor, Harry Emerson III, has mapped out a union between our secure and venerable telephone system – AKA POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) – and the hyper-evolving, media-rich Internet which is so famously not one bit secure. As it evolves, he believes this next generation telecommunications system, dubbed IronPipe(TM), will have huge implications for national security as well as tremendous new revenue opportunities for the carriers and supply chains which serve them. Conceived in response to what he views as the seriously flawed paradigm which is currently developing as telecommunications migrate to the Internet, Mr. Emerson says he designed IronPipe(TM) to offer an alternative with a high degree of security. The Internet has produced something akin to a gold rush experience for those mining its resources and developing its vast potentialities, he said. But, in the midst of this frenzy, he has observed that fundamental requirements of privacy, secrecy, and security are seldom openly discussed when it comes to Internet-based phone services known as “Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems such as SKYPE, which are rapidly being developed.

These are serious issues, he maintains, and they need to be fully considered by users such as corporations, telecommunications carriers, VoIP carriers, law enforcement agencies, and federal and state governments, as well as by the millions of Internet using individuals who are concerned with their own personal privacy. According to Mr. Emerson our current state of vulnerability came about because we have turned a blind eye to these issues of privacy, secrecy and security, combined with the scramble for profit, and an unregulated environment for VoIP. “The Internet is a lawless frontier where nothing is safe and secure and reliability is always one step away from calamity,” he says. “As things stand today, VoIP does little to protect the interests of the aforementioned entities, not to mention protecting the security of the United States. We are suffering untold numbers of hacker attacks DAILY, with systems broken into and identities stolen. Not too long ago the entire worldwide DNS system (Domain Name System) was brought to its knees by hackers,” he said. In his opinion, if the technology continues to develop in its current direction, no one will be able to guarantee that communications cannot be intercepted and monitored. In addition, if we examine our current circumstances, a lot of the excitement generating the rush to VoIP is based upon an illusion, the appearance that we are being offered new and sophisticated technologies. In fact, existing VoIP offerings are simply discounted POTS services, he says, with no value-added features, only lower cost caused by fierce price pressure from cable TV and other low-overhead vendors. The result is the continued downward spiral on price that has plagued the telecommunications industry for 30 years. IronPipe(TM) is a re-thinking of 21st century telecommunications architecture, which will return a sense of safety to our society as a whole, reinvigorating our economy from the inside out. If his vision is implemented, Mr. Emerson says we won’t have to put up with either the fear of intrusion, or the huge financial burden of protecting ourselves from the ever-increasing army of those with malicious intent. According to him, we now have a choice.

The challenge is that VoIP companies such as Skype, Vonage and the various Cable carriers which have migrated to the Internet did so not only to provide cheaper communications, but to avoid regulatory scrutiny. “If you don’t have to deal with the regulations it tends to make things cheaper,” he said. “But these profits come at a price.” “The integrity of the communications system has been compromised because of short term thinking primarily geared towards reducing costs.” In its simplest terms, IronPipe will enable us to make web 2.0 Internet-style media rich calls utilizing the existing private, protected, secure, Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), and its unseen private data network – known as SS7, which connects all the main switches around the world. While VoIP uses the Internet exclusively and thus can be, and regularly is, compromised, if we establish Internet calls through these telephone company switches there will be no access from the outside. We can create rich media visual telephone calls on broadband Internet connections, using wireline or wireless touch-screen phones such as the iPhone, simply by dialing a phone number, and still enjoy the privacy, security and reliability of traditional telephone calls. In short, Mr. Emerson says that his technology seamlessly merges the best of the Internet with the best of the telephone network. Considering the cost to government, industry and society at large to protect against intrusion and to remediate the damage caused by intrusion, IronPipe could be well worth looking into.

Belief is a powerful drug. It is a drug that works best at the deepest levels of the human mind,affecting it both consciously and subconsciously.Belief,as a drug works, when human beings perceive it to stem from something authentic. The critical word here is ‘perceive’, since for human beings perception is reality. Frankly perception is all that matters really.

It doesn’t really matter what the facts are but beliefs in the potency of a weird tasting energy drink,military flags and uniforms,homeopathy,a swoosh sign or some female beauty exotic potion have led to creation of large companies,institutions and brands. These symbols or ideas or brands trigger a significant positive change in their consumers or followers.This phenomenon is called the placebo effect.

Placebos, in the field of medicine,have helped alleviate chronic pain,depression, rheumatoid arthritis,high blood pressure,angina, asthma, ulcers,Parkinson’s disease and even cancer.Placebos in medical terms are ‘pharmacologically inert medications’, Medically speaking, placebos can be a pill or an injection.In a non-medical world the placebos could also ideas or brands,a good-luck charm,a ritual,a perfume that we wear on a first date.

Placebos are excellent problem solving tools. They are ideas that are planted in our minds. In a sense they hack our brains.When these ideas stick,they trigger beliefs. And beliefs create expectations. “Expectations create a different reality for us,which we don’t really appreciate,” said Dan Ariely, a behavioural economist. The great thing about placebos is that they are very effective. And they do so without incurring any side-effects. Since they are primarily ideas they cost very little physical resources to manufacture or fabricate. And yet they deliver a lot of value to their recipients.

Like all things that do not look logical at the outset,we under-estimate the power of the placebo effect. A placebo,if administered in a proper fashion, is a great problem solver and a force magnifier of sorts in the hands of a whole host of professionals-the doctors,drug companies,product innovators,leaders,marketing practitioners, advertising & creative professionals, organisational development people etc.

There are very stunning examples of placebos in medical science which prove that certain surgeries or procedures are no more than a placebo. A meta study of several studies involving thousands of patients has come to the conclusion that coronary stents for the heart have a placebo effect. The option of patients taking medication instead of installing a stent is as effective as the procedure of installing a stent. So much for the hue & cry about the exorbitant stent prices,and the need for regulating it in countries like India.

Similarly a study of knee surgery for joint pain was conducted (real partial meniscectomy where they actually cut into the knee). One group of respondents received a real surgery and the other group received a make-believe or a fake knee surgery ( mimicry of actual one with real tools).After surgery, both groups underwent identical physical therapy regimens. Across 12 months of followup, both groups experienced significant and equal improvements.

Human beings have had a rough ride,as an average animal to survive. On the whole, as a species we have been resilient,having out-lasted and out-survived a host of competing species. This harsh journey has been aided by an amazing ability that we have developed in the course of our evolution.It’s an amazing ability we are not really cognizant of. It is the ability to cure ourselves literally and metaphorically.

Placebos raise our expectations.Placebos work by persuading the body to invest more resources in recovery.People consciously believe that the sugar pill placebo will make a headache disappear and lo & behold it often does.

Our evolution has genetically geared us not to trigger our own self cure. We look for an external agent or placebo to trigger our self-cure both at a psychological or at the physiological level.Our hard survival experience tell us that good things do not come easy or ‘there’s no free lunch’.So our logic tells us that an effective placebo must entail some effort or cost in obtaining it. An effective placebo cannot be some commonplace or free stuff,a random sugar pill.An effective placebo is believed to be scarce,a tad expensive.

In the subsequent articles we will look at some of the characteristics of the placebo effect, how it plays out in our lives, and in our business. It is an amazing,under-used & under-exploited effect by medicine, marketing, business and arts. In Fact it seems that business and brands utilise the placebo effect, far more than medicine.

Eric Larkin in PC World reports that we need to get rid of myths about the internet in order to stay safe online.

Myth #1:

Maladjusted teens vandalize your computer.

Reality #1:

Gone are the days when teenagers looked for 15 minutes of fame. Organized crime is the culprit. They want money. Online black marketers place malware on computers to make money. They take over PCs to send spam, steal logins and credit card information, or hack game accounts. They use stolen webmail accounts to request transfers from contact lists and raid online games to sell the items or the in-game currency for real money. Financial fraud by cyber-criminals have cost consumers and businesses billions of dollars.

Myth #2:

All you need is a good antivirus program.

Reality #2:

Wrong. A good antivirus program will help a good deal, but antivirus companies are locked in a constant battle with cyber-criminals who make every effort to stay one step ahead of antivirus software. Yes, many times the security software can prevent the attacks, but other times there are holes in the software and the criminals get the upper hand. You need more security software than just a good antivirus program to protect you from cyber-crime.

Myth #3:

You’re fine if you are just careful where you surf.

Reality #3:

This way of thinking is outdated. Years ago you could tell if a site was dangerous just by looking at it, and if you were careful with your emails, you could go without antivirus software. Not anymore. Now personal pages and big-name company sites are hacked by cybercriminals using flaws in the security software to install malware. You would have to be an expert to recognize a hacked page or an email that was attacked. Besides antivirus software, you need antispyware, antirootkit, and a bidirectional firewall along with a team of techs to protect you from cyber-criminals.

Myth #4:

“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” requires knowing when something is broken.

Reality #4:

These days there are malicious hidden processes, threats, files, or registry keys and you need advanced anti-rootkit technology to remove them.

Myth #5:

The worse myth. We’re all doomed. Stay offline.

Reality #5:

Yes, you can get hacked, but if you know the risks and prepare adequately you can enjoy what the Web has to offer. By following these simple steps, you can be protected from cybercriminals.

* Install antivirus+antispyware, antirootkit, and a bidirectional firewall onto your computer.

* Make sure your computer has daily security updates, automatic upgrades to new software, and full security software support.

* Have your computer monitored daily for malware and have malicious codes stopped before they can harm your computer.

* Get protection for emails and attachments.

* Have your own team of techs to keep your computer clean and running well.

Don’t fall hostage to cybercriminals. Don’t accept the worst myth that the crooks own the internet and that the only good option is to use the internet as little as possible.

Imagine being able to make women long to be with you and getting them to do anything you ask of them. Sounds great, right? Many men think this cannot be done since they don’t have enough money or good looks to persuade women into anything, but this is not true.

With the right seduction tactics taken from female psychology studies, you can get any woman of your choice to do anything you ask of her willingly. Just keep reading for basic tactics on getting women to do your every bidding anytime.

How To Use Covert Mind Hack Tactics To Control A Woman – And Make Her Do Anything For You



1. Build up the overall suspense. The best way to get a woman to follow your orders would be through building up some anticipation. Women happen to love suspense and drama, so you should give them what they want. By building up more hype and suspense, more women will flock to your side in no time. Keep this in mind.



2. Make sure she stays confused. You should always ensure that women do not feel too at ease whenever they are in your presence. Women have to think that they need to work for your attention or they will completely lose interest in you.

If you are too easy to read, you will lose a woman’s interest in practically no time. Because of this, you have to give women a hard time when it comes to figuring your intentions out.

3. Try out methods of psychology. Keep in mind that using psychology methods will make women much more vulnerable to any of your advances. A particular method out there can even help you hack into a woman’s thoughts and make her addicted to you on an emotional level.

Women don’t just long for happiness from the opposite sex; they also happen to want emotional drama because their lives are usually uneventful and dreary. If you can give women the kind of drama they knowingly or unknowingly long for, they will never be able to resist your charms.

The truth is: there is no trouble involved in hacking into female minds and gaining female attraction. You simply have to make use of a basic formula that has the power to make even the most gorgeous women fall for your charms. The best thing about this would be that any man can put it to use, regardless of their seduction and attraction expertise levels.

In the previous article we discussed how placebos are excellent problem solving tools. They are ideas that are planted in our minds. When these ideas stick, they trigger beliefs. And beliefs trigger change. In a sense they hack our brains.As instruments of change, placebos have an important role to play in medicine, marketing, product development, religion etc.

It doesn’t really matter what the facts are but belief in the potency of a weird tasting energy drink, military flags and uniforms, homeopathy, a swoosh sign or some female beauty exotic potion have led to creation of large companies, institutions and brands. These ideas or brands are long-lasting since they trigger a significant positive change in their consumers or followers.

Placebos, in the field of medicine, have helped alleviate chronic pain, depression, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, angina, asthma, ulcers,Parkinson’s disease and even cancer.Placebos in medical terms are ‘pharmacologically inert medications’.Medically speaking, placebos can be a pill or an injection.In a non-medical world the placebos could also be ideas or brands, a good-luck charm, a ritual, a perfume that we wear on a first date.

In this article we explore the thesis that powerful brands are not any abstract, obtuse constructs. Good brands are effective placebos. Brands work because placebos do. In this article we explore instances of how brands work as placebos. We also give a preview to how the brands harness the phenomenon of placebo effect to trigger a set of beliefs in their consumers.

The ‘Real Thing’ is not so real after all

For those who swear by their brand of cola (it’s unique taste, flavour etc.) it is pertinent to ask whether ‘the taste’ is really such a big deal. Do you actually ‘taste the thunder’ or ‘taste the feeling’? Or is it all in the mind, a placebo. The effect of a brand as a placebo was proven when Baba Shiv and team proved that a cola tastes very differently when the respondent knows that it is the ‘real thing’ (a Coke) versus the same cola being labeled as a generic brand. Subsequent researches by other researchers showed that if the image of Coke was shown the perceived impact of the taste was higher.

Are you having a ‘branded headache’?

Another study done on women respondents in the UK, regularly suffering from headaches by Daniel E. Moerman highlighted the impact of branding on efficacy of analgesic pills.Women respondents were given four options- a branded analgesic (of a widely advertised and known brand), generic analgesic, branded placebo, generic placebo. The branded analgesic was perceived to be more effective than the generic analgesic, similarly the branded placebo was more effective than generic placebo. The branding of the pill enhanced the perceived effectiveness of both the active and the inert drug. Thankfully, the active drug was perceived as more effective than the placebo inert drug. Thank God, for small mercies.

Is the money spent on expensive branded shoes worth it?

Similarly a study by Frank Germann answered the question whether you will golf better with a branded putter? In other words it poses a question that all of us want an answer to – whether all the money that we have spent in buying expensive shoes or sport gear is worth it. And the answer is ‘Mostly Yes’.

In the Germann study the participants were tasked to complete putts on a putting green using an identical quality of putter. Half of the golfers were told that they were using a Nike putter, and the other half were not told the brand name of the putter. On an average participants who thought they were using the Nike golf putter needed fewer putts to sink the golf ball.

In a similar type of experiment conducted in a very different arena (of a scholarly maths test as opposed to a sporty golf game) the results were very similar. The participants of the study were given the same quality of foam ear plugs during a maths test to improve concentration. One half was told that it was a 3M ear plug and another half didn’t know the brand. Akin to the golf experiment, the group wearing 3M ear plugs got more questions right.

Germann’s results indicate that strong performance brands can cause an effect akin to a placebo effect. The use of an iconic performance brand which performs a related task, boosts the confidence level of participants by providing greater self-esteem and lowering the performance anxiety of the participants. This leads to better performance outcomes.

Another interesting observation was that the impact of the performance brand as a placebo was strongest in novices. The efficacy of the placebo effect was inversely proportional to the skill level of participant. In other words, expert golfers or brilliant math students received little or no performance boost through usage of the performance brands. This explains the ‘Mostly Yes’ part of the answer. So unless you are a good mathematician or a brilliant golfer, the money spent on the performance brand was worth it, at least in part.While we are on this topic, an interesting trivia is that when Nike signed up Michael Jordan in the 80s, and named a shoe after him, they expected sales of 3 million US dollars in a year. They eventually ended up selling 100 million plus worth of “Air Jordans”.

Does a ‘Beauty Patch’ work?

Dove conducted an actual ‘placebo test’ called the beauty patch experiment wherein they claimed that the participants who took part in the experiment would enhance the perception of their own beauty after the use of the ‘beauty patch’. Participants reported a significant increase in their perception of their own beauty and was surprised to discover that the patch was a placebo. Dove was truthful in a sense that they told their participants that this patch would change ‘perceptions of beauty,’. The patch managed to change perceptions fairly effectively, as echoed by the participants themselves.

So there is overwhelming evidence that brands work like placebos by improving performance or changing perceptions. Brands as placebos give us a confidence boost, reduce our anxiety in doing tasks and help us perform better.

The role of brands as placebos in the urban jungle, rat race

While we are at it, let us discuss the need for brands as placebos in our fairly stressful life in a fast paced urban environment. Living in a dense city and a hyper-competitive environment is quite unnatural and very stressful for a human being (who until a couple of centuries ago was living in villages). As a result, we require a fair dose of self-esteem building,confidence-inducing placebos to help us navigate the urban jungle & the debilitating rat races. Brands thus play a crucial role, and act as placebos boosting our confidence, improving our performance, changing our perceptions and altering our beliefs.

Jonathan Haidt talks about self-placebbing, wherein we spend a considerable amount of time administering a placebo to ourselves. These placebos work as signaling mechanisms to ourselves and our peers. Many products that we use have a utility and an ulterior placebo function. At a utility level, a Ferrari is car which does the job of transporting you from A to B. In dense & congested cities, in terms of utility it is a rather average means of transport, where a two wheeler is generally faster. But at an ulterior placebo level, Ferrari serves as an excellent aphrodisiac, a huge confidence booster or a very effective signal to humiliate a business rival.So even though a Ferrari goes at twenty kilometers an hour in a bumper to bumper Mumbai traffic, as a confidence or self esteem boosting placebo, it rather outclasses a Honda Civic.

Is 10x priced wine, 10x more tasty?

Likewise, there are a lot of luxury brands that have a basic utility function, but deliver extremely well on the ulterior placebo function. Expensive suits, thousand dollar cigars, gadgets, obscenely priced single malts etc. are all products that deliver strong placebo effects to the rich & famous men. An expensive wine is not ten times more enjoyable than a good affordable one, but it does administer a huge confidence-inducing social status placebo.

The female beauty industry is not just about beauty

So while men splurge on their placebo toys, the women have perfected the usage & rituals of self-placebbing into a fine art form. They have patronized a huge industry that delivers powerful doses of placebos to womankind- the female beauty industry, which is bigger in size than the education industry. A lot is made of utility function of the industry i.e. of enhancing the beauty or ‘the sex-appeal’ of women. The fact of the matter is it takes very little to attract the attention of the opposite sex. You need basic grooming and a sexy outfit to attract attention of the opposite sex. It does not take a long and tiresome regimen of two hours to appeal to the opposite sex. The two hours of beauty regime is actually a process of administering a confidence placebo to oneself.

In India, marriages are great occasions to observe these self-placebbing rituals. In North India, one usually finds that marriage procession are generally delayed. One of the primary reasons for this is that the women on the groom’s side take ostensibly long to get decked up. And amongst the women folk the grannies, usually take the longest time and have to be literally begged to finish their beauty regimen. On occasions they need to be dragged out of beauty parlours so that the marriage procession can depart. One would imagine that the grannies would not be very keen in attracting the attention of grandpas that would show up at the event. But they have an acute need to give themselves a big confidence placebo. One of the grannies I know went for an expensive set of teeth transplant just so she could smile confidently in marriage pictures.

Placebos need to be slightly absurd to work and need to follow a certain set of rules to be perceived as effective. We discuss these rules in the forthcoming article. Suffice it is to say the cosmetics work well as a placebo because they follow some of the basic rules of an effective placebo.The cosmetics are insanely overpriced (and therefore assumed more effective) and very time consuming to administer(a lot of extra effort heightens the placebo effect).

In mature markets, the ulterior placebo attribute is critical to differentiate

Firms spend a lot of time innovating and crafting a differentiated product proposition focusing on the features and utility function of their products. However in mature markets where products and services are more or less similar, tapping into a belief system, and positioning the brand based on its ulterior placebo attribute may be a more potent way for the brand to gain traction. In fact to take this argument a bit further, building in product or packaging attributes or usage rituals into the product or service may heighten the placebo effect and therefore the perceived value.

Having said that, not every placebo works with everyone, and the efficacy of a placebo also differs based on various factors, which we shall cover in subsequent articles. For a brand to take a shot at being an effective placebo, the brand has to tell a story which latches onto the belief system of a subset of population. This subset must believe your story to be authentic for them to buy into the story of your brand. They must connect with the story at a deep, meaningful level and ‘perceive’ it to be true. This encourages trial for the brand. Recently, there has been a huge outrage in India concerning Hindustan Unilever’s brand Fair & Lovely, so much so that the brand has to re-name & position itself as Glow & Lovely. But there was a time, when a big subset of population brought into the insecurity linked with dark skin colour, and the brand delivered a steady dose of fairness linked confidence placebo to millions of women.

Obviously it goes without saying that a premium brand has to deliver well on the utility function, maybe marginally better than a lower priced variant. So an expensive bag has to be well stitched, well crafted. But for the brand to be truly perceived as premium it has to deliver a strong placebo effect. The brand has craft a unique story and possibly include some attributes that heighten the placebo effect. And thereafter, the brand has to deliver on the brand experience being consistent to the story told.

If the story connects to the core customer’s beliefs then the brand has a decent shot of delivering a strong placebo effect. These core customers then become your brand’s early adopters and evangelists. They narrate the brand story as their own, and convert other consumers. They help grow a small market into a large one.

So for example if you believe, as a consumer, that your brand of sneakers XYZ is cooler than competition ABC, and wearing XYZ makes you feel cooler, then for all purposes you perceive yourself to be cooler than your friends wearing ABC. And with the brand’s placebo effect at play, you get a significant boost to your confidence and self esteem. This emboldens you to give your cool avatar a shot, and helps you overcome any insecurities that you may have had. This acts like a self fulfilling prophesy, and one confident step leads to another. And lo & behold, you are the new cool person in town! Now that you have clearly brought into the story of XYZ it is time for you to validate the story you are telling yourself. One good way of doing that is to persuade your friends wearing ABC to switch to XYZ.

Communication strategy vital to accentuating the placebo effect

Besides the brand story, the communication or persuasion strategy also plays a key role in accentuating the placebo effect of brands. Cacioppo and Schumann conducted a study wherein they manipulated participants’ interest in an ad for the “Edge razor”. They informed the participants that the participants could select from brands of razors (high relevance to the ad) or brands of toothpaste (little relevance to the ad) as compensation for participating in the study. Subsequently they subjected the participants to a strong arguments ad (Edge blade gave twice as many close shaves than nearest competitor) or weak arguments ad ( Edge blade gave no more nicks or cuts than competition).Both these arguments were presented by a celebrity endorser or an ordinary citizen.

The study found more persuasion for strong than weak arguments when the razor advertisement was higher in personal relevance (razors as compensation) versus when lower in relevance (toothpaste as compensation). Besides there was a larger impact of the celebrity endorser when the ad was low as opposed to high in personal relevance.

To conclude, good brands work more effectively because of the placebo effect. Like all placebos, good brands are ideas that are planted in our minds. When these brand ideas stick, they trigger beliefs. Belief is a powerful drug. It is a drug that works best at the deepest levels of the human mind, affecting it both consciously and subconsciously. So it is not possible to fully understand how a placebo or a good brand works at a subconscious level.

Good brands are well positioned and packaged placebos. And like all good placebos they serve a real need, and solve a real problem. They are excellent problem solving tools. And like all placebos, they do so without incurring any significant side-effects. After all, when compared to more violent options, Ferrari is a relatively harmless way to humiliate a business rival.

She likes you, but she doesn’t. She wants you, but not today. Every man has suffered through this particular kind of girl – the kind that expect you to do things for her, the kind that can’t decide whether she wants you or don’t, the kind that plays with their minds. Sadly, these types of girls are becoming more and more common in today’s society because men are simply unable to counteract their moves and end up totally dazed and confused because of it.

Have no fear, though, for it is now the time for your revenge! There are several very simple steps and methods you can use in order to seriously mess with the mind of any would-be male manipulator. It’s time to turn things around and make sure that all women know who’s in control in the relationship.

How To Play With A Woman’s Mind – Use These Mind Hack Tactics To Force Her To Surrender In Love

Mind Hack Tactic #1. “Utter Disrespect”. As soon as a girl starts getting comfortable around you and as soon as you let down your guard, she’ll be there taking advantage of your weakness. She’ll be disrespecting you in front of friends and family, and making it seem like you are totally cuckolded. If you’re in a relationship right now and this seems to be the case, it really is an amazingly easy fix. All you have to do is make sure that the next time she starts acting up: threaten to leave her.

This will let her know that she’s not as important to you as she seems to think she is. Remember, however, that you need to say it with absolute sincerity. If you’re unable to do so, chances are she’ll get worse as all that will happen is you will have confirmed that she means a lot to you.

Mind Hack Tactic #2. “Complete Jealousy”. This ‘game’ is one that women the world over mainly use. This is mainly done through invoking jealousy through disparagement of the guy they are currently dating and through drawing comparisons between him and other men. The main reason for doing this is so that a guy will react favorably and do something to fix his so-called ‘problems’.

The best way to combat this is to feign indifference and draw comparisons between her and girls you know in return. This, similarly to the tactic used above, shows that she’s not the one in control and demonstrates that you aren’t afraid to call her bluff.

One of the most overlooked muscle groups in a beginning bodybuilder’s training program is legs. They don’t impress like the chest and arms so beginners make a common mistake and avoid training them, not realizing the overall high growth effect the leg muscles exert over the entire body. It has been demonstrated in recent research that if intense leg training is done prior to arm training in a workout session, the overall growth effect on the arms is magnified. This is a result of human growth hormone being released because of the size of the leg muscles.

The best way to capitalize on this benefit is to construct your training sessions so your ‘difficult’ bodyparts are trained immediately after training legs. There are quite a few good exercises to develop the legs including squats, front squats, leg extensions, leg curls and stiff-legged deadlifts. Hack squats are not nearly as popular as these other exercises but are an effective muscle builder.

This lift was named after George Hackenschmidt, an early 20th-century strongman, wrestler and writer. He advocated this exercise because of its ability to develop leg strength quickly while avoiding excessive hip development common with barbell squats. In his book, The Way To Live, he mentions that the exercise was named after him. In North America the name Hack Squat is the term most often used when describing this exercise.

Steve Reeves, of Hercules and Mr. America fame, began using the hack squat to develop a sweep in his thigh muscles while avoiding hip enlargement and even developed a piece of equipment to allow him to perform the movement more effectively. Several photos I’ve seen show him training in Vic Tanny’s gym in California, near the famed Muscle Beach.

But what is the best training program to use with hack squats? First, let’s look at proper exercise technique. There are some really great hack squat machines on the market which remove the balance problem encountered when using a barbell. But let’s assume you don’t have access to those and train with barbells and dumbbells. After electing to use either a barbell or dumbbell, place your heels on a block, keeping your legs close together. Hold the weight behind you and lower yourself until your buttocks comes close to touching your heels. Press yourself up with your legs as you exhale. Avoid locking out at the top of the movement. Repeat until hitting muscular failure.

As mentioned previously, there are numerous hack squat machines on the market. Most have bars for loading barbell plates but a couple have selectorized weight stacks for ease of changing the weight.

The reasons I like hack squats are the absence of heavy resistance on your back and shoulders compared to regular squats, ability to train thigh muscles while limiting excessive hip development and the lack of weight balancing when using a hack squat machine. Another great feature of this exercise is the stimulation it gives your hamstring muscles, which is a result of the deep descent I recommend. Give this exercise a try and you will be adding a new tool for quick leg muscle development.

A sample training routine for legs using hack squats is listed below. The routine is based on the HIT, high intensity training protocol so be sure and put 100% effort into each set by taking them to complete muscular failure and resting minimally between sets:

warmup

barbell squats-1×15

hack squats-1×12

leg extensions-1×15 (3 forced reps at the end of the set to be performed every other workout session)

leg curls-1×15

standing calf raises-1×20

seated calf raises-1×15

After the death of Moses, Joshua prepared the Israelites to enter the Promised Land. Before crossing the Jordan, he did the same thing Moses had done forty years earlier when the Israelites were on the brink of entering Canaan: he sent out spies.

So they set out, and they came to the house of a harlot named Rahab and lodged there. (Josh.2.1)

Why, of all places, would the spies go to lodge with a harlot? Doesn’t God hate harlots?

A ‘harlot’ symbolizes the seductive sensations and desires that inflame our lower nature but leave the soul unsatisfied. The name ‘Rahab’means proud or arrogant, and it is a term that is sometimes used to signify the domain of ‘Egypt’, the biblical symbol for the level of matter and illusion. Jericho, Rahab’s city, means Moon– which also is also a symbol of the illusory level of Being that ‘Egypt’ represents. The soul’s first mission in the Promised Land is going to be to once and for all completely destroy ‘Jericho’, so that absolutely nothing irredeemable remains. Joshua will even pronounce a curse, unlike any other curse in the Bible, anathematizing anyone who ever dares to rebuild the city of Jericho. So the spies go immediately to Rahab, the essence of Jericho.

But ‘Rahab’means something else as well, of which ‘Egypt’ is only a copy. Rahab symbolizes the primordial Chaosthat was ‘vanquished by the Creator’ in Hebrew legends.

The prophet Isaiah will say:

It was You that hacked Rahab in pieces, that pierced the Dragon. It was You that dried up the Sea, the waters of the great deep.

And the Book of Job will say:

By His power He stilled the sea; By His skill He struck down Rahab.

Joshua, according to legend, was swallowed by a sea-monster in his infancy, but at a distant point of the sea-coast the monster spewed him forth unharmed. So on a deep psychological level, we see that Rahab was the ‘sea-monster’ who swallowed and spewed forth Joshua – in mythical terms, his ‘mother’. Later on, according to the legends, Joshua will marry Rahab (in her current incarnation as the ‘harlot of Jericho’), so she is also his ‘wife’.

Like the Greek goddess Gaia (who is sometimes portrayed as Uranus’ mother, and sometimes as his wife), Rahab is Chaos, the turbulent Passions. She is the ‘Sea’, the deep vast unconscious. She is the ancient archetype that underlies the power of the Sacred Feminine. Christian tradition will call her ‘Mary Magdalene’ (Mary of the High Tower). As the soul ascends the path of spiritual initiation, the Sacred Feminine (Rahab) must reunite with the Sacred Masculine(Joshua) so that together they can merge back into Oneness and return to Divinity.

How You Can Satisfy Girls And Become Their Addiction In No Time

Technique #1. “There’s No Such Thing As A Bad Surprise”. Every surprise is a good one, so taking your girl on a date in a romantic restaurant would be entirely welcome, even though there is no special occasion evident.

Guys always seem to wait for big occasions like anniversaries before they do special things on their dates with their girls. However, girls adore sensitive guys who can remember both the special occasions and yet still treat them incredibly well even when there is no occasion at all. So, by surprising your girl on regular days, you can be sure that you will get brownie points at the end of it all.

Technique #2. “Spoiled Girls Are Happy Girls”. Girls adore it when guys treat them like they are someone special. Because of this, you need to treat your girl like royalty by opening car doors and regular doors for her every time an opportunity to do so arises. This will make her rely on you for a long time to come, even though it might seem like nothing but a small gesture to you.

When spoiling your girl, it would be important to remember to put the “push and pull” tactic to use every now and then. This means that when it starts to look like you are being taken for granted, you have to stop spoiling your girl immediately.

This will end up confusing her, but she will also end up thinking about you more in the long run and she will end up longing for your attention yet again. In fact, she might even end up running after you!

Technique #3. “Hypnosis Works”. Although this might seem like a fairly sneaky way to get things done, you are sure to get outstanding results and win your girl over with this method – guaranteed. With one particular kind of hypnosis, you can even have the power to get any girl to sleep with you in only 15 minutes.

You would have to send her on an emotional rollercoaster, though, so that she anchors all of her pleasurable states to you and so that she starts depending on you emotionally every time you want her to.

Does the word hacking scare you? Ironically it is hacking but legal hacking that is doing us good. If this is your first article on hacking then surely you will get some potential insight on hacking after reading this. My article gives a simple overview on ethical hackers.

The term ethical hacker came into surface in the late 1970s when the government of United States of America hired groups of experts called ‘red teams’ to hack its own hardware and software system. Hackers are cyber criminals or online computer criminals that practice illegal hacking. They penetrate into the security system of a computer network to fetch or extract information.

Technology and internet facilitated the birth and growth of network evils like virus, anti-virus, hacking and ethical hacking. Hacking is a practice of modification of a computer hardware and software system. Illegal breaking of a computer system is a criminal offence. Recently a spurt in hacking of computer systems has opened up several courses on ethical hacking.

A ‘white hat’ hacker is a moral hacker who runs penetration testing and intrusion testing. Ethical hacking is legally hacking a computer system and penetrating into its database. It aims to secure the loopholes and breaches in the cyber-security system of a company. Legal hacking experts are usually Certified Ethical Hackers who are hired to prevent any potential threat to the computer security system or network. Courses for ethical hacking have become widely popular and many are taking it up as a serious profession. Ethical hacking courses have gathered huge responses all over the world.

The moral hacking experts run several programs to secure the network systems of companies.

• A moral hacker has legal permission to breach the software system or the database of a company. The company that allows a probe into its security system must give a legal consent to the moral hacking school in writing.
• Moral hackers only look into the security issues of the company and aim to secure the breaches in the system.
• The school of moral hackers runs vulnerability assessment to mend loopholes in the internal computer network. They also run software security programs as a preventive measure against illegal hacking
• Legal hacking experts detect security weakness in a system which facilitates the entry for online cyber criminals. They conduct these tests mainly to check if the hardware and software programs are effective enough to prevent any unauthorized entry.
• The moral experts conduct this test by replicating a cyber attack on the network in order to understand how strong it is against any network intrusion.
• The vulnerability test must be done on a regular basis or annually. The company must keep a comprehensive record of the findings and checking for further reference in the future.
