Kevin Tate | April 3, 2012 | Comments
The emergence of this new social retail model marks an exciting time for brands looking to connect with their customers.
The web doesn't work like it used to. And that's a great thing for retailers.
For the past 15 years or so, a customer would "browse" to a retailer's e-commerce site, "navigate" a catalog of products, maybe buy something, and then leave. Online retail has been a solitary, hidden experience for even a brand's most loyal shoppers.
Although this model is still the norm for many e-commerce sites, new shopping experiences are based on something different, the social retail model. The social retail model hinges on two particular aspects of the customer experience that, when executed correctly, marketers and merchandisers can leverage to great advantage: app-ification and amplification.
The social- and mobile-centric web is starting to app-ify; as we've learned from mobile, apps are the most universal container for user experiences and the exchange of value between brands and consumers. Whether they ultimately install an app on their iPhone, or click "allow" on a Facebook permissions dialogue, consumers are following the same basic engagement flow:
This new flow is quickly replacing the old means of accessing and experiencing content online (open browser, enter URL, "surf" the web, and so on).
This holds true for Angry Birds:
And it also holds true for a social retail experience such as theFancy.com:
For marketers and merchandisers who want to create compelling experiences to their products, this app-ified model brings a significant new advantage: the "allow."
The allow (or install) step is the cleanest and most powerful "opt in." The old rules of permission marketing still apply - brands need to offer a compelling reason for consumers to share their profile data - but the app-ification of the web makes this a very explicit "tit for tat."
"Frictionless" sharing is rapidly replacing explicit sharing (click "share," compose a post, choose a channel, publish), which often works only when someone really wants to share something. Most of the time, however, this kind of sharing is too much work. Frictionless sharing builds multiple amplification opportunities into the social retail experience with no effort on the part of the consumer.
By building experiences that take advantage of the social graph (what did my friends do?) and the interest graph (what did other people like me do?), brands can significantly amplify product discovery. Brands such as Spotify and Pinterest follow the social retail model to engage customers, create momentum, and amplify discovery.
Look at how Spotify puts amplification to work for music:
This amplification also works for products on Pinterest:
This is the way all social retail experiences should work.
Putting App-ification and Amplification to Work Effectively
The emerging "app model" can be incredibly powerful for marketers and merchandisers creating social retail experiences. These experiences should automatically generate relevant and authentic amplification based on customers using the app, site, or microsite. That "relevant and authentic" part can be tricky though, if they don't create social retail experiences that are both:
The good news is that the industry is starting to see some best practices in both these areas, based on what social customers respond to best. The emergence of this new social retail model marks an exciting time for brands looking to connect with their customers.

Homeopathy isn't nonsense, it's fraud. And sometimes it's even manslaughter.
The Economist welcomes your views. Please stay on topic and be respectful of other readers. Review our comments policy.
Homeopathy isn't nonsense, it's fraud. And sometimes it's even manslaughter.
This article is highly opinionated without presenting its audience the fact about the subject. It also doesn't look into the benefits homeopathy can offer patients who are struggling with an outcome from evidence based medical treatment.
A homeopathic treatment involves more than just the (potentially placebo) medicines, its also involves consultations, which evidence suggests may benefit like in other talking therapies. And the outcome unlike drugs is a holistic healing affect for a persons physcial, social and pyschological well being.
Also the randomised control trial (gold standard) evidence currently available on homeopathy is incredibly poor due to difficulty as mentioned in designing trials and lack of funding. Current trials tend to range from 6 participants to 60 completing the trial. From this no real conclusion can be drawn either way.
Please do not hold and enforce on others severe opinions on any topic without understanding the true facts behind the matter. And for the case of homeopathy the true facts are we simply don't have enough data to know. But if a person has a life changing outcome from this therapy please don't disregard it just because the scientific mechanism is not understood or may have been misinterpreted.
Not shown: proof that any homeopathic medicine is effective. Ever.
Not shown: proof that any homeopathic medicine is effective. Ever.
Homeopathy is famous for its cures of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, diseases considered incurable in conventional medicine. There are 25,000 volumes of cured case records resulting from its clinical use in hundreds of millions of people around the world for the past 250 years.
To see hundreds of contemporary case records of cures of conditions from addiction to Rx drugs to psychogenic diabetes mellitus to cancer to coma google "homeopathy cured cases".
A double blind placebo controlled trial of homeopathy would be very easy to design. Just replace half of the practitioner's remedies with the plain solvent (water or alcohol or whatever) that they would use anyway, and record the before and after states of the patients.
It is sad to see such level of ignorance in the writer of this article in a magazine that has earned so much respect in several topics. There is, wether you recognize it or not an etheric field that surrounds our bodies and the energy in this field is responsible for our health. The way we use our mind is responsible for how healthy this field is. That is why the way we use our mind determines our health. Homeopathy through the deluding the substance keeps the molecular structure of the substance without keeping the substance. This has a direct impact on our etheric field signaling what needs to be attended. Our etheric field responds and this is how homeopathy does work, this is why it works great with babies and with anybody that is open minded enough to receive the impact of the pill and let his/her etheric field respond.
I respect The Economist in many areas, please do not let such level of ignorance be expressed under its name...
"deluding the substance"
Best. Misspelling. Ever.
Thanks for noticing my mistake Ugg it should say diluting.

Dear Sergio
You spotted your own mistake, that's how slips of the tongue work.
Thank you APen... English is not my first language and in spanish "diluir" which means dilute, also sounds quite similar to delude, I didn't know the verb dilute existed. Now I've learned something else.. which is good for me....
Thanks for your comment...
For those who may be open to explore beyond science(which in itself is wonderful, however taken with a fundamentalist approach of "only what can be scientificaly proved exists" in my opinion can be very limited), if you are open to the truths that can be derived from personal experience, extrasensory perception, intuition, etc... I suggest you refer to www.lazaris.com to the discussion, named, Healing, the nature of health, part 1 and part 2, to get a grasp of how health works in general and how homeopathy does work beautifully with harm to none...
Saludos, and thanks again for your comment.
Ok. No slip of the tongue then.
Healing, The Nature of Health part 1 & 2
Wasn't the "microbioma" (The Economist's science section is so enthusiastic about) called nonsense a mere 10 years ago? Wasn't The Economist running articles questioning the entire approach to clinical trials? Surely I must have a subscription to a spoof of the real magazine, or are the staff all suffering from early-onset Alzheimer's? Or is it just an inconsistent editor-in-chief? This makes me think of Technical Analysis in the markets, called nonsense by a large number of lightweight academics, eager to please the consensus and status-quo in their institutions, whilst others are making money with it... A scientist does not "do" this type of article, but tries to set up a trial adapted to the method, observes results and draws conclusions. Double blind not adapted to homeopathy? Find different ways of studying the results. Can't explain it scientifically? Too bad, bring me a scientist who can explain me by fundamentals it is possible to make money by combining moving averages, bollinger bands and the hughes breadth momentum oscillator in the markets!
Hey, when homeopaths come up with the double blind placebo controlled trials, we will all come on board. Chiropractic and acupuncture managed it.
Actually, it's not nonsense. In The Field, McTaggart explores this phenomenon and finds that it is consistent with several recent scientific studies in the field of quantum mechanics. You folks should stick to economics and leave the science to somebody else.
How something works and if it works are two separate questions. Of course something can be made to look like it works with quantum mechanics.
The reason homeopathy works, through deception, is the placebo effect on the patient, and those around the patient. The reason homeopathy seems to work, is through coincidence, confirmation bias, not understanding that case reports are not evidence, and not understanding how irregular randomly distributed things are.
A couple of enthusiastic posters here recon homeopathy can cure HIV. You?
Hooray! Another pseudo-scientific explanation of irrational nonsense!
Not long ago a poster claimed that homeopathy can be explained through electromagnetism. Really, just take any branch of science that most people in the general public don't understand and claim that your snake oil cures using it. I'm sure if I read every comment for this article that another homeopath would claim that it's from undetectable radiation or some such rot.
It's as predictable as it is sad.
I'm just not sure how the folks who peddle such nonsense can sleep at night.
A VERY simple experiment anybody can do to prove that homeopathy is absolute nonsense: Try to overdose. Go visit your next "pharmacy", holistic healer or shaman and get a random sample, say a few dozen "remedies", take all at once, then repeat and repeat. Nothing, absolutely nothing will happen. No effect, hence no side effect and no overdose.
Allthough the really sad part is that reasonable people spend their time and energy to prove something as silly as homeopathy wrong.
Enlightenment was pearls before swine
So if you can't overdose on something, it's ineffective? Didn't know that.
If homeopathy is ineffective, please explain why there are 25,000 volumes of cured case records like this one:
"Master MLMi aged 8 years was ill for 5 - 6 months when he first visited the clinic (Prasanta Banerji Homeopathy Research Foundation) on 18th July 2003. His chief complaints were swelling of left knee and difficulty in knee flexion. He did not have a history of any illnesses.
"The histopathology report dated 12.06.2003 told 'diagnosis - poorly differentiated sarcomatus lesion.
"The observation during treatment.....was 'large osteolytic reaction noted in metaphysis of left femur with periosteal reaction'. It revealed 'gross healing at osteolytic area'.
"Another x-ray dated 14.08.2004 says 'comparative study with that of previous skiagram dated 16.12.2003 reveals remineralization seen at the lower third of left femur.
"He had no complications during treatment.
"The patient is now keeping all right and leading a trouble free life since last two years."
Because case reports don't count. Conventional medicine does not rely on them because they are such poor evidence. There really is an answer to your question and this is it. There is no point posting anecdotes. Conventional medicine demands more of itself and of homeopathy.
Case records are reported in every medical journal because they provide evidence of what the treatment did for the patient.
If, as you claim, case records "don't count", can you explain why every doctor keeps very careful records on every one of his patients and why he updates them every time he sees a patient?
Correct. Don't forget Case studies show that except for ONE DAY IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE, OJ Simpson was innocent.
I take it you have absolutely no understanding of the Homeopathic proving process for remedies?
In brief, and by all means do further research, Hahnemann when he developed Homeopathy did so by 'proving' remedies on healthy people and this process continues.
A group of people in a blind, controlled study are given a remedy and asked to make notes about any changes, reactions, responses, symptoms over a given period - emotional, physical, psychological, physiological, even spiritual.
Where symptoms arise particular to the remedy ingredient it establishes that remedy as 'proven,' in other words it has an effect.
I cast these 'pearls' of reality before you for consideration.
Homeopathic prescription involves a symptom picture which is then fitted to the same or similar symptom picture of a remedy on the basis that this Like treating Like, can trigger a healing process, a re-balancing in the body.
In other words, Quinine, the ingredient which first made Hahnemann aware of Like treating Like, produces 'symptoms' of malaria in healthy people and as we know, is used to treat malaria in a conventional, Allopathic sense.
So Homeopathic remedies most definitely can and often do have a marked effect. If you swallowed a few dozen the picture would be so confused it would be hard to know, but if you took one remedy for a long time, in essence, a proving, there would be demonstrable effects, varying of course for individuals.
But you are right, you cannot overdose in any harmful sense. Stop taking the remedy and the symptoms will disappear.
I am sure you will find this study interesting where the conclusion was that
Homeopathic proving symptoms appear to be specific to the medicine and do not seem to be due to a local process.
Homeopathic proving symptoms: result of a local, non-local, or placebo process? A blinded, placebo-controlled pilot study.

Best april fool ever... those who read this news without seeing the date will always fall for it.... nice try... :P
Hail Avogadro's Number! Homeopathy is just a placebo.
Placebo means auto-suggestion, how comes the babies respond excellent to homeopathy, they cannot be suggested?
Babies get well by responding to the antibodies of their immune system, not homeopathy. The placebo-effect is on the parents of the baby as they think the getting-well is courtesy homeopathy. Cheers! - Faezal
Babies appear to respond to homeopathy as follows: The mother responds to the placebo, calms down and then the infant calms in response. There is also a false belief that the homeopathy works by coincidence, regression towards the mean, confirmation bias, not understanding that case studies are useless, not understanding that subsequence is not the same as consequence, and not understanding how irregular random things are. Any other questions?
One of the posters here says that homeopathy can not be studied by conventional means. It is not true. Conventional medicine demands double blind randomised controlled trials. It demands nothing more of homeopathy.
You can still do a RCT where each of the people in the homeopathy arm are given different remedies. That is a perfectly conventional way to do an RCT. That is why cognitive behavioral therapy can be studies by randomised controlled trials. Each of the people receiving the talking treatment is a unique individual and will have different ways of looking at the world. Often, one arm of a treamtment can be treatment as usual.
It would be easy to do a double blind randomised controlled trial of homeopathy. Just give half the homeopaths fake remedies to use, and not let anyone know who had the fake ones and who did not. More than being possible, that would be a really easy trial to perform. You would need the numbers to be sufficiently big to provide statistically significant results. You would need to have enough competent homeopaths and patients to take part. And you would need people to run the trial.
Studies certainly play a role in medical practice, but what really counts is what the treatment does for the patient.
In this particular case, I suspect that the patient wishes he had gone to a homeopath before he went to an allopath and a surgeon and agreed to have his toes, then his foot and finally his left leg below the knee amputated.
This 70 year-old man suffered from gangrene of his left foot. "His affected region was removed via operation by allopaths, to stop its growth, but all was in vain. The abscess continued to grow and started giving a stinking odor. He was re-operated and the doctor removed two toes of his left foot, but still his gangrene continued. He was operated on a third time and the whole left foot was removed. His doctors then advised removing the left leg below the knee joint. This was the fourth time he was operated on, yet there was no hope of any promising relief.
"There is a reason why, after removal of the affected area, the problem persists. The answer is that disease doesn't enter from the surface of the skin, as in this case, it comes from within the genetic constitution of an individual. Just removing the affected area doesn't really solve the problem.
"This patient then sought homeopathy treatment under my care. Within one month of his homeopathy treatment...the abscess reduced and the odor was remarkably reduced. The dose was repeated after three months...The stinking smell of gangrene faded completely. His abscess was also healed. Now he's well, with no further signs of gangrene."
The homeopathy did not do anything beyond a placebo effect.
Again: placebo means auto-suggestion, how comes the babies respond excellent to homeopathy, they cannot be suggested.
Dear Guest Swiensi
There are other things at play, as I have already said: placebo, placebo in the observers, coincidence, regression towards the mean, not understanding that case studies are weak data and not understanding how lumpy randomness is.
They babies CAN be suggested to. If the mother is calmed by the placebo effect, then the baby will pick up on the calmness and be calmed them self. Don't you know ANYTHING about babies, or mothers, or people?
Why didn't the surgeon have such a wonderful placebo effect? The patient didn't "believe" in the surgeon as strongly as he "believed" in his homeopath?
Please provide proof that this patient was cured by placebo.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: it was a coincidence. Subsequence does not mean consequence. Conventional medicine relies on double blind randomised controlled trials. It demands nothing of homeopathy that it does not demand of itself. Placebo and the mistaken belief that something works at all are two different issues.
Conventional medicine has continued to be its own worst enemy. It cures nothing. It has adverse side effects and causes unnecessary hospitalizations and deaths. The same cannot be said of homeopathy. Health care consumers are more educated than ever before and those who bash homeopathy are not changing anyone's mind. In fact, their comments allow homeopathy supporters to comment with the truth.
"Conventional medicine... cures nothing."
So, do you advocate homeopathic prevention or treatment of polio and malaria?
For polio, start here:
For malaria, start here:
Why skeptics are failing info here:
Medicine never cures people. Wow. You must really have almost impossible or more likely dogmatic views on what a "cure"is. Life expectancies have not sky rocketed with the birth of science based medicine in the late 18 the century by providence much less accident. If your potions make YOU feel better, great.
B'cause of h'pathy I have not needed antibiotics, any analgesics other than a few aspirin for a headache, antacids, cough or cold preparations, anti-histamines, laxatives or any other o.t.c. product for the past 27 years. And you?
You have to understand that the only reason most European based corporations sell in America some of these drugs is to maximize profits. You cannot patent a drug that is created naturally by nature. Lithium is better for some patients. In America after the turn of the last century, the drug companies could not exclusively mass produce it. So an alternative synthetic drug was created, so in America these European company could maximize their sales with an exclusive R&D patent.
Unlike natural drugs, the synthetic drugs have side effects. And when drugs fight with other drugs, it is called contraindication. And when synthetic drugs have poor interactions with food, it is called interactions.
This is a poorly written article-or a drug manufacturer writer wrote it.
Not impressed. How about these instead:
You cannot say conventional, allopathic medicine cures nothing. Any medical methodology can cure and Allopathy has great strengths in surgery. Yes, it has adverse side effects and often does not lead to lasting cure but it can cure. Anything can cure. The problem with Allopathy is that it does more harm than healing.
I am speaking about the word "cure" in the same vein as the skeptics say that homeopathy cures nothing. Surgery cannot "cure" diabetes, homeopathy can & does. Surgery cannot cure post-partum depression. Homeopathy can & does. I witnessed this in the daughter of a friend after the delivery of her 3rd boy in less than 4 years. A single homeopathic remedy produced a dramatic change in her mental state.
Fair enough but I think one needs to be careful when replying and clarify. I know it is easy to just type and not be clear and I do it all the time but qualifying statements is important.
Allopathy may rarely cure but there is no doubt it can cure as anyone can see with reconstructive facial surgery. But make it clear what you mean by cure.
We will have to agree to disagree here. The skeptics know in what context my comment was made. It's one of their over-used talking points. IMHO, no need to clarify. Surgery "fixes", it does not cure. It's a matter of semantics. I refuse to play that game.
We can agree to disagree. I think assuming that everyone here is a sceptic is unwise. Many people might actually be reading with an open mind and they would find your lack of clarity in saying allopathy cannot cure, to be confusing. It is not a game. It is about not giving sceptics food on which to feed and ensuring that anyone who is not a sceptic and who is interested, has clarity in regard to what you are saying. It is not a matter of semantics to state categorically: 'allopathy cures nothing.' when patently it can and does.
If you had said Allopathy rarely achieves true and lasting cure that would be a different matter and it would fit with what you are saying generally.
I have never questioned the manner in which you defend homeopathy. I wish you had extended the same courtesy to me. I stand by my statement in the context it was made. You have done the very thing you admonished me for, by giving the skeptics food on which to feed when you questioned my comment. This will be all over Twitter tomorrow.
My questioning was purely in your interests and Homeopathy. And there is nothing here that is of any great significance which is detrimental to you or Homeopathy at the end of the day. As to Twitter, I don't do it and think it is aptly named. I think being honest is important. I merely sought to clarify your comment and I think in the circumstances it was valid. Don't take any of it personally. It isn't.
"I think being honest is important." From my perspective, I am being honest. The skeptics like to call us "liars". Did you accuse me of the same thing? Think about what you just said to me. Of course I took it personally. Every defender of homeopathy approaches his/her defense of h'pathy differently. I hope you will refrain from this type of comment in the future. The skeptics will love this, unfortunately.
Sandra, I made the point that stating Allopathy cures nothing needed to be clarified because patently it is not true. It may cure little but someone who has had cataracts removed would argue it was a cure.
In other words, stating it cures nothing, and I know from what you have said that is not what you meant, does no good service to you or Homeopathy.
Clarity is important. I have not called you a liar as that would be a ridiculous interpretation of what I have said. I merely cautioned the need for being clear about what we are saying, that is all.
As to the sceptics loving it, who cares? Most of the 'hounds' which bay make themselves look foolish and anyone of open and sound mind reading it will not think badly of you or Homeopathy.
You clarified what you really meant. That is enough.
In truth when I said about being honest I should have used the word 'frank' because this was not about honesty or dishonesty but about saying what one thinks - being frank.
You've posted nothing but "skeptic" sites or articles or sites that present biased, inaccurate information. That includes the NHS web site. For example, the site What's the Harm, posts material about cases it gleaned from newspaper articles rather than from documented medical sources. After reading the cases and the back-up the site presents with those cases, it becomes clear that some of the individuals the site claims were harmed by homeopathy never used it at all. In some cases the site confuses other systems of medicine, even nutritional supplements, for homeopathy and attributes harm to homeopathy. In some cases the individuals turned to homeopathy after using conventional medicine and finding that it failed them. The site attributes harm not to con med but to homeopathy.
Readers here who want good, accurate information about homeopathy provided by noted authorities in the field can find it at:
"Homeopathy, Science or Myth" - Bill Gray, M.D. and homeopath
"The Healing Paradox" - Stephen Goldsmith, M.D. and homeopath
"The Impossible Cure" - Amy Lansky, Homeopath - Amy Lansky studied homeopathy and became a homeopath herself because her son was cured of autism by it
"Psyche and Substance" - Edward C. Whitmont, M.D. and homeopath
"Green Medicine" - Larry Malerba, D.O. and homeopath
My personal experience of 55 years of using conventional medicine is that it cured me of absolutely nothing including sore throats, bronchitis, poison ivy, the disabling effects of an auto accident, chronic insomnia, high blood pressure and high intraocular pressure. That's why I turned to homeopathy which did cure all of those conditions, and it did it safely and inexpensively. When I visit my GP, ophthalmologist or dentist each one of them recognizes and comments on what it's done for me. As an example, my ophthalmologist has told me that he is not following me as a glaucoma patient any more. These professionals also know that their drugs did not have any curative effect for me at all (and most likely not for any of their other patients either).
My family members have had the same experiences with conventional treatments with the exception of a successful hip replacement although I'm not sure that I would categorize that as a "cure". In the case of chemo and radiation, it killed my father and caused him increased pain, suffering and misery.
I don't know a single person who uses conventional treatments who has had any cure at all of their chronic diseases. The best they achieve is symptom management.
Life expectancy has skyrocketed due to improved sanitation, good hygiene and less economic and social stress where those problems have been addressed.
Sigh. Your polio reference is a case study for post-polio syndrome. No one denies that there are countless case studies of homeopathy working marvelously. If you want to counter skeptics, you need to try and understand their arguments. Duh.
Dear Sandra
Re: "Conventional medicine... cures nothing"
There must be lots of people with appendicitis who have not realised, then.
Dear Sandra Courtney,
Your friend benefited from the placebo effect, coincidence and misinterpretation. Case reports are not adequate evidence, even when the case report is of a sensible person with a real problem. That is why conventional medicine demands more than case reports.
I am truly glad for your good fortune although I am very skeptical potions of neutral water or flavorings did the trick. The article which is Corporate Sponsored is one dimensional and not fully satisfactory in my view. What is the "placebo" effect and is it really a dismissible "constant" for ALL persons and ALL "cure" cultures. It clearly isn't and that is where conventional pharmacology and medicine start to look arrogant like they are ignoring something they can't package. Belief and the ability to engender it DOES make people feel better and ACCEPT and there for cope with their bodies and emotions better. Shamans and hypnotists can do things emergency rooms doctors and equipment can't.
The real answer is for the medical community to get honest and real about the derided "placebo" faith and confidence factors in healing people. The mental health community is embracing Yoga, Buddhist meditation and frankly anything that calms people down and lowers the need for medication. This movement recognizing the "mind" really controls the "body" needs far more exploration and use by the cold as frozen fish sticks medical mandarins!
PS: I am still not in favor of handing out Homeopathic Water Pills and calling them good medicine! Doctors still need to be best knowledge and practice educators and point out what cures and WHY! They can admit chiropractors and Homeopaths MAY ( for some folks) do as well as they do for the less than critically ill and explain WHY!
Your *opinion* about the effectiveness, or not, of homeopathy does not matter. Fact = 20% physicians in Scotland now have homeopathy training compared to only 1% fifteen years ago. Guess the skeptics are not doing so well.
Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4040/Homeopathy-works.html
It would be nice if you actually read my considered and I thought generous comment about the Homeopathic "healing" culture rather than putting me down! I didn't put either you nor your views down and treated both you and your views with understanding and respect. You will get better results communicating to the unconverted and skeptical showing respect for the views of others which frankly you DON'T. Think and act anew!
Bruised ego? Homeopathic Arnica, 30C potency, will help. I read your comment. I dislike anyone saying that homeopathy is ineffective when they have never tried it. Or, did I miss where you commented that you had tried homeopathy?
The h'pathy armchair skeptics are failing. If you are one of them, you might want to find another hobby.
Keep talking, keep alienating! You are being counter productive. What does it matter if I tried anything homeopathic or not? For whatever it matters people I know well have with the predictable result that they felt better temporarily but that feel good ( placebo) effect ran out quickly. I have had plenty of disappointments and far worse with over the counter much less prescriptions medications. I think the ideal is not having to take ANYTHING, but one has to face up to the imperfections of life.
Please explain how removing a person's appendix corrects the derangement in systems deeper in the patient's body that allowed the condition to develop in the first place.
You seem to be setting yourself up as the final arbiter of whether or not homeopathy works. You are expressing a personal opinion, not a fact. Your opinion flies in the face of the 25,000 volumes of cured case records resulting from the clinical use of homeopathy in hundreds of millions of people around the world for the past 250 years. It flies in the face of hundreds of studies published in the most respected, national and international peer-reviewed journals which show that homeopathy produces significant to substantial health benefits in a wide array of conditions.
Google "homeopathy cured cases" to see hundreds of documented cured case records.
See the web sites below for scientific research corroborating the clinic records:
There is replicated research showing homeopathy is effective in treating 23 conditions: upper respiratory tract infections, flu, rhinitis, asthma, common cold, otitis media, sinusitis, fibromyalgia, arsenic toxicity, ADHD, blood coagulation, diarrhea, depression, female infertility, insomnia, IBS, low back pain, muscle soreness, arthritis, post-operative bruising, post-operative pain and vertigo.
I am not setting myself up for anything!! You are the true believer. Your 25,000 thousands "volumes" of testimonials and other selected and edited anecdotal evidence mean NOTHING in scientific terms because of confirmation bias as you well know but expect to con your way through. Forget it!
You can't make a silk purse out of a Sow's ear. But you CAN make a very nice sow's leather purse that many people will like. Just market your sow's leather purse as sow's leather: NOT silk. You'll be fine. If Homeopathy could meet double blind conventional and quite rational standards of efficacy it would but can't! You can't talk or bluff your way around that. At least with me.
As you well know since links to hundreds of DBRCT have been posted here, they do exist and they do provide evidence that homeopathy produces significant to substantial health benefits and does it safely. That is exactly what the Swiss HTA confirmed. It was the most comprehensive analysis of all of the homeopathy literature ever conducted by any government, and it's conclusion was that homeopathy is as effective as conventional medicine, sometime superior to it, and vastly safer.
Denial of those facts does not invalidate them. Neither does it make them disappear off the face of the earth. In reality, such denial of the overwhelming evidence for homeopathic efficacy, whether it's clinical data or scientific research, places the denier in the realm of delusion; however, my opinion is that the "skeptics" of homeopathy KNOW it works and that's what frightens them.
You will have no interest in looking into the research, but for other readers here who might like to do that, it can be seen at:
Or just take a walk through the pages of PubMed.
This article is nonsense.Even my doctor friends recommend homeopathic medicine and it works, for colds and flu for me it has totally worked without the side effects of traditional medicine like fatigue and drowsiness or dry throat and mouth.These practices, like Chinese medicine and Ayurveda are grounded on centuries of knowledge and trial-even if it is trial and error-but proven to work.
There is not data. You have polite friends.
For cold and flu especially, people like to take anything to make them feel like they are getting better quicker. The placebo effect feels nice while your immune system does what it was going to do anyways - destroy the invader and make you feel better.
I think people go to doctors too much for colds and flus, just tough it out and let your body fix itself. Maybe that is the sentiment your doctor friends are conveying.
Wow. He must be a really crappy doctor.
Iam unable to decide what to say. As basic instinct and with all learning Iam conclusively convinced that laws of physics can never be denied, nor for all the known chemistry. And now, after reading this dilution or potency whatever, Id say I agree. But there are these twelve salts namely - phosphoricum, sulfuricum, ferrum, megnesia, natrum.. etc with some precribed potency and combination of two or more are prescribed for certain ailments. Here Id like to tell a little story. I developed warts on my skin. So I aproached an aquaintance Doctor (highly placed & renowned - I won't name him here, now) for help. Now two surprising things happened. First - He said there is no remedy for warts in conventional medecine except for surgery (a minor electric burning) and, two, suggested that Homeopathy claims to have a remedy. Now you do not have to believe what I have to say. In thirty days my warts ware gone and the medecine is Thuja (with combination of other salts). I once again assert I do not believe in paranormal or anything but Id like to know how this happens. And .. as for these combination of salts it has also cured acute Rehumatism for me. Nonsense?, You don't believe me?, Even I don't. But eat Homeopathy.
Warts commonly regress without any treatment.
No they do not.
Oh yes they do!
Then there are tens of thousands of people paying dermatologists huge bucks for nothing. Quick, report them to the ASA!
Actually they do. Like many viral diseases they are subject to clearance by the immune system.
I had a serious sinusitis problem which was cured by homeopathy. I have a sensitive throat and the only thing that works reliably is homeopathy. Many of my family and friends have found it effective.
At the end of the day even if you dont believe it is real medicine but only sugar pills dipped in water, there is no harm in trying them. Regular medicines have chemicals which can cause serious side effects. Homeopathy may either cure you or not do you any further harm. Why demonize it?
Those are case studies. No one denies that there are lots of positive case studies for homeopathy. Case studies are not good enough. That is why conventional medicine relies on experimental trials.
Experimental trials for surgery? Novel idea. Hitler liked it too. You might want to actually look at a pharma medical compendium and check out the hundreds of available drugs and under the heading "Mechanism of Action" read "Unknown".
And perhaps you can explain why "approved" drugs like Vioxx killed 200,000 people before they were withdrawn. Or maybe that cute little problem that occurred shortly after Viagra hit the market and all those guys had heart attacks... Or all those fines for "off-label" marketing or to children. Oops.
Dear Lauriej1
Yes, there are experimental trials for surgery. Last week, they reported a negative trial for kidney nerve ablation to treat high blood pressure. It is not a novel idea. Unlike homeopathy, the practice of conventional medicine is refined by experimental trials. And of course there are side effects with conventional medicine: it has effects. Conventional medicine does not deny the side effects, but works to detect them.
Also, look up Godwin's law.
Who is "they"? Perhaps you can point me to the experimental trials of surgery that were undertaken in a random-controlled double blind fashion to prove they were safe and effective before being used on us.
Homeopathy was the first system of medicine to employ experimental trials of substances -- they're called "Provings". And the best thing of all is that those provings have been repeatedly done on those same substances with hundreds of different test subjects for over 200 years.
I've stopped replying since you mob think that you can cure HIV with homeopathy.
Here you go, here's a link to over 400 trials just in relation to arthroscopy. You can search for whatever else you want. It's on pubmed, like google, but without some of the craziness
And the latest research shows that arthroscopy of the knee is no better than placebo.
Funny how these trials are done AFTER the fact and not before.
And that funny double standard some people have about Homeopathy.
You don't really want to go there, do you? The drugs below underwent double blind, placebo controlled research, by the drug companies themselves I might add, before they were "approved" by the FDA. Just eleven year's worth of dangerous drugs.
Consider reading more about homeopathy and actually consulting a homeopath. Drug companies work to detect the adverse side effects, including deaths, after the class action law suits are filed, not before. Attorneys drive expensive cars and live in spacious homes because of the medicine you believe in.
Cancer too. Much exciting collaborative research on the effectiveness of homeopathy is being done world-wide and now in collaboration with research institutions in the United States.
"The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston – The US department of alternative medicine followed the cases presented in Corfu with lab trials using Banerji's homeopathic medicine on cancer cells at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) in Houston. Dr. Sen Pathak, Prof. of Cell Biology & Genetics, at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, collaborated in this joint research between the PBHRF and the MDACC. The research work is now complete and published. An in vitro study with the medicines has shown brilliant results in killing brain cancer cells while activating the normal cells. The paper entitled "Ruta 6 selectively induces cell death in brain cancer cells but proliferation in normal peripheral blood lymphocytes: A novel treatment for human brain cancer" was jointly published with Pathak S, Multani AS, of the Department of Molecular Genetics, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, USA., in the October 2003 issue of the International Journal of Oncology. (PBHRF and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, USA conducted jointly an in vitro research study on the effectiveness of the medicines Ruta 6 and Calcarea Phosphorica 3X in destroying brain cancer cells while activating the normal cells. The research study was published in the form of a paper in the October 2003 issue of the International Journal of Oncology.)"
And this is how we know that arthroscopy doesn't work. That's how things progress - you do a test, maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. But you do a structured test.
Now we can say for certain that arthroscopy doesn't work for certain things. Through scienctific testing.
Whenever homeopathy is subjected to similar tests, it fails.
You asked for scientific trials of surgery - claiming they didn't exist. I presented you with over 400 trials of just one minor surgical technique. Try searching for heart bypass techniques, you will find trials, testing, constantly looking for improvements.
This is how, for example, the mortality rate from heart attacks has been so significantly lowered. Not through opinion, through fact. I'm not claiming that treatments don't have side effects. That's not the point. The point is that random crazy claims of curing AIDS, cancer, sinusitis - it doesn't mean anything. You have to prove it.
Who is "we"? You are missing the point that surgeries are done on people without structured testing all the time. It's later determined that those surgeries subjected patients to unnecessary risks and didn't solve their problem.
Failed surgeries of all kinds are common.
Surgery is considered to be the last resort. Homeopathy can keep patients from requiring that last resort.
Notice it's not Homeopathy patients who are doing the squawking, it's pseudo-skeptics who have no medical training and aren't responsible for patient care. The patients are extremely satisfied, and you think you're going to disagree with them. Give yourself a shake -- they don't care what you think. Nobody needs to prove anything to you.
Forget homeopaths... some states in India have taken to the irresponsible task of legislating Ayurvedic Vaids and Unani Hakims, along with Homeopaths being allowed to practice as medical doctors calling themselves allopathic Doctors!
This means these uneducated "medical" people can prescribe medicines that they have no training whatsoever, to dispense!
1) Ayurvedic vaids and homeopaths are trained to practice some of the allopathic drugs.
2) India has one doctor per 1700 people. For illness like fever, cold and diarrhea, not every once can see MBBS or MD. Considering these thing , they are allowed to practice some of allopathic medicines..

If India doesn't have enough doctors, perhaps India should train more instead of opening the floodgates to charlatans who will bilk poor sick people out of their meager savings.
Homeopathy practitioners should be thrown in jail the first time they try to use a homeopathic "cure" for a dangerous medical ailment.
Those who criticise homeopathy do so because they say that there is no "scientific" evidence. What they really mean is that, as there are no physical chemical elements in homeopathic remedies, the effects are not "real", or at best are "only" placebo. These people reduce the world to only its physical manifestation and thereby imply that the only allowable "cause" for an "effect" is a physical one. In other words, they believe, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that we are only a collection of biochemicals.
This unstated assumption that only physical elements can affect us is extremely pervasive but nonetheless complete nonsense. Psychological shocks can affect our physical health, as do social and environmental conditions.
Homeopathy works through the non-chemical use of substances and works on animals, plants and babies. Dismissing the validity of the reports of millions of people who have been helped by homeopathy only demonstrates the reductionist critics selective understanding of the scientific method.
"Homeopathy works through the non-chemical use of substances."
You are saying homeopathy works through the metaphysical use of substances. Which is little different to saying that homeopathy is make-believe for grown ups.
So it's like that analogy of looking in a dark room for a black cat that is not there.
Thank you for providing a perfect example of reductionism!
Thank you for providing a perfect example of reductionism!
No, it is not metaphysical but it operates on the material beyond the materialistic and mechanical - it operates at frequency levels - vibration, energy, pick a word.
Homeopathy is not metaphysical. Homeopathy works on the physical but it does so beyond the simple materialistic mechanics in which Allopathic medicine is sourced and in which science believes.
Wrong. If there was evidence that it worked, pleople would be less concerned about the mechanism. Being reductionist and dismissing blinded randomised controlled trials are two different things. There is good research for CBT and other talking treatments. Talking treatments work by mechanisms other than physical elements. Case studies should be dismissed for homeopathy, just as they are for conventional medicine.
Have you heard about energies, life-force (chi), ask acupuncture practitioners that use a 5000 years old medicine. How old is allopathic medicine... two centuries only?
Ever consulted a homeopath or taken a homeopathically prescribed remedy? No? Thought not. Your *opinion* does not matter.
I was able to actually cure a problem with HP virus using homeopathy. What nonsense is this article talking about?
No, you were not. A case study is insufficient evidence that something works. That is why conventional medicine relies of experimental trials. It asks nothing more of homeopathy than it asks of itself.

You can stay in you good synthetic artificial blinded world & be happy about it.
unbelievable at how the economists standards have fallen. are you being paid by some pharma company to write such NONSENSE. just because your writer has never used or benefitted from homeopathy allows yo to belittle a medicinal practice? allopathy or modern medicine isnt the only cure for illness. millions around the world get cured by many ancient practices incl, homeopathy, ayurveda, unani, chinese medicine. your expensive medicine isnt the only way. i know cancer patients left to die by allopathy who have been cured through homeopathy and ayurveda. stop writing and publishing such ignorent objectionable garbage
Show me the data. That's all I ask.
have you used google to search?? try meeting the patients to get answers. i repeat again- I personally know cancer patients who have been cured by homeopathy and ayurveda after allopathy gave up. am not saying it works on all cancer patients but if it even saves one life, which I have seen myself, I am a believer.
I know if I had the cure for cancer my name would be famous and I would be living it up on my yacht in the Caribbean.
For some reason the homoeopaths who cure cancer are so modest, they can only boast of their achievements on obscure websites......
Unfamiliar with Google search, medical journals and university medical school research libraries? Skeptics say homeopathy does not work, but cannot prove it. Spare the readers here quotes from skeptic blogs, please. Ever tried homeopathy? No? Thought not. Skeptic fail, again.
Case studies are not data. Conventional medicine demands more of itself and it demands more of homeopathy.
you become a doctor to live in a yacht in the caribbean???
Hi Guest Swijeim
I just followed the link to centerforhomeopathy. I asked for data, and you sent me to a page with opinion and case studies. As I have said before, case studies and opinion are not data. Conventional medicine demands randomised trials of itself, and skeptics demand the same from homeopathy.

Cross-border Work
Movements Unite in Mali, Confronting Powerful Interests
By Salena Tramel
November 23rd, 2011
Nyéléni, Mali – 19 November 2011
Gaza's Human Rights Guru
The first time I shared a meal with Raji Sourani was at a seaside restaurant in Gaza City. A lawyer and longtime director of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), a Grassroots International partner, Sourani is well known throughout Palestine for his quick and sound judgment—which showed when he ordered some of the best shellfish in the Strip for both of us before I had even finished scanning the menu.
"You can't visit Gaza without eating this shrimp," he said when our dish arrived. Plumes of shisha smoke billowed around us, and classical Lebanese chords interchanged with lively Egyptian tunes. He was right: the food was nearly as enjoyable as his company.
Janaina Stronzake, from MST, to visit East Coast
By Saulo Araujo

2011 Food Sovereignty Prize winners announced
October 13th, 2011
The Community Food Security Coalition and the US Food Sovereignty Alliance will announce on World Food Day, October 16th 2011 that the Landless Workers Movement of Brazil (MST) has been awarded the 2011 Food Sovereignty Prize. The MST is a Grassroots International partner and member of the Via Campesina.
Via Campesina releases video on food sovereignty
Grassroots International partner and leading peasant movement, the Via Campesina produced a new video presenting its struggle for peasant's agriculture and food sovereignty all around the world. The 20-minute film interviews farmers, land activists and movement participants from across the world discussing what food sovereignty means to them, and how small farmers can provide solutions to global hunger and climate disruption.
Cooling and feeding the planet with agroecology
In order to fix the broken food system, we need to de-colonize our minds. What do I mean about "de-colonize"? To understand that, do this short exercise. What comes to your mind, when you hear the word "Agriculture?" Is it a tree, a head of lettuce or vast endless fields somewhere in the US Midwest?
If the first thing came to your mind was a vast field of a single crop (such as endless rows of corn), you are certainly not alone. For decades, both consumers and farmers have been educated to think of agriculture as an industry of monocrops. The end of small, integrated farm plots (i.e. real food) coincided with the advent of industrial agriculture and the launch of the "Green Revolution."
Learning and Constructing with Haitians
Bev Bell, a long time Grassroots International ally, recently published the article below, which describes a Learning Exchange program between Brazil and Haiti, supported by Grassroots International. Bev has worked with Haitian social movements, including many of Grassroots International's partners, for decades. This piece describes the dynamic cross-border collaboration between partners in Haiti and Brazil. Jose Luis Patrola of the Landless Workers Movement puts it well: "We're not here to teach, we're here to learn." He also acknowledged the financial support provided by Grassroots that helped make the Haiti-Brazil learning exchange happen. Perhaps it's largely true, as noted by Patrola, that social movements have forgotten the concept of internationalism.
Thousands and thousands of people demanding climate justice – That is our Task
G20-Agriculture: Hundreds of organizations say STOP farm land grabbing
Grassroots International joined nearly 500 other organizations around the world in signing the "Dakar Appeal Against Land Grabbing." The appeal, originally drafted at the World Social Forum in Dakar in February 2011, calls upon governments to immediately cease all massive land grabs and return the plundered land to communities.
Indigenous Farmers Hostage in Guatemala -- Economically and Literally
In this third blog of the Field Notes series, Grassroots' Program Coordinator for Latin America Saulo Araújo analyzes the situation in which Guatemala's indigenous Mayans are facing fear and despair in their own land. Saulo is currently visiting partners and ally organizations in Central America.
When they heard about the work opportunity in another town, the peasants didn't hesitate. Within just a few days, they left home to work for Otto Salguero, a wealthy cattle rancher who reportedly had jobs for all of them. After endless hours on a bus, the men showed up to work – hard work – but together they slowly and steadily adjusted to it.

Moores Invests in State of the Art Spray Facility
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
August 28, 2014
As part of the Horizon manufacturing process, Moores has invested in a state of the art spray facility and automatic polishing line specifically for high gloss kitchen components. The recently commissioned spray shop installation at Moores will create four additional spraying stations equating to 1,500 more high gloss panels every week.
A gas catalytic drying system combines with the large spray shop to cure the solvent in a record time of just two hours compared to the 10-12 hours it took before.
Other unique improvements are:
- Automatic polishing line
- Vacuum table to secure differently-sized panels
- Automatic storage and spraying of the polishing compounds
- New machinery can accommodate even the largest of panels
- Unique loading and securing system to ensure a perfect finish
- Loading system also prevents damaged panels
The whole facility has given Moores the extra capacity to meet customers' demands along with a two-day reduction in the manufacturing lead time. The polishing machine has also given a quality improvement through better consistency and a significant capacity increase.
Manufacturing our own doors allows Moores to control cost, quality and supply chain, increasing efficiency. It also gives Moores the ability to innovate and market test new products, adapt and react to market trends and fashions and give continuity of supply to our customers.

Gallery: VU35 Crafts Collapsible Shelves From Recycled Film and Rescued...
Film buffs and DIYers can both appreciate these awesome film strip bookshelves made by a special collaboration of two Buenos Aires based designers. Lucas Desimone from the green geniuses at Baumm and Matias Resich from woodworking afficianados, Laboratori, have joined forces (and leftovers) to create these fun and easy collapsible shelves under a new moniker, VU35.
The shelves came about when Desimone was left with a great deal of film after a movie project, about the same time Resich was overwhelmed with wood scraps at his studio. The 35mm film is tightly pulled to keep the shelves even, but can be folded down for easy portability and adjustments. Perfect for your DVD collection or potted plants, the shelves are a fun and unique addition to any home. And If you're not traveling to Argentina anytime soon, making your own film shelves could be an easy and fun DIY project using your favorite flick strips!

Hoe do you keep the middle shelf from falling when weight is put on it.????? The film is no where near strong enough to hold a wooden shelf…
Eric S March 10, 2012 at 11:36 am
One point I'd like to illustrate, though I'm a big fan of the idea and the reuse;
Cellulose nitrate film burns very readily with little heat, and once burning, is very difficult to extinguish. It also releases a plethora of noxious gases, all of which are combustible themselves and highly toxic to humans.
If you use this shelf, please do not use candles on it, and keep it away from heat sources and open flame.
From your friendly green firefighter!

* PM Update: Gloomy weather on its way out *
* Typhoon Megi update | Early fall on the Mall | Giant wind tunnel *
10:45 p.m. Update: Tropical Depression 19 (TD19) has formed according to the National Hurricane Center.
From earlier: After 18 tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and Caribbean Basins this season (of tropical depression strength and stronger) -16 of which were named - the tropics are not done yet.
Though November is just around the corner, and the conditions across these regions are gradually becoming hostile toward tropical cyclone formation, a disturbance south of Cuba (99L) is being monitored for possible development.
If it becomes a tropical depression, it will be referred to as TD-19. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) gives this disturbance 70 percent odds of doing so. Should it become a tropical storm, its name will be Richard. Even if this system does not develop, heavy rains are possible over Jamaica and the Cayman Islands over the next several days as this system tends to meander around its current position.
In the satellite presentation (shown to the right), this disjointed-looking system appears to be taking a beating from high-altitude westerly winds.
These high-level winds, shown by the long arrows coming into the western Caribbean in the image above, are blowing aside the main thunderstorm activity and isolating 99L's low-level swirl. In a healthy system, the storms would sit atop the near-surface vortex. But in this case, they're currently more than 100 miles to its east.
If that is not enough, these upper-level westerlies are extremely dry, as indicated by the orange tint in the water-vapor imagery shown to the right.
As long as these dry and windy conditions near 99L persist, there will be no significant development. The high winds will shear the system apart, and the ingestion of this dry air will act to unwind any potential spinup.
However, there are some indications that by the weekend the environmental flow will relax a bit. Indeed, some of the models suggest 99L will become a hurricane in roughly the same place it is located now in less than 48 hours. I am not so bullish on this idea, but we will be watching.

Lead in balsamic vinegar
lazycookJanuary 16, 2014
I was shocked to find that the balsamic vinegar that I bought had a warning on the bottle that it contained lead. It is O Organic Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Italy. When I was at the supermarket today I checked other balsamic vinegars and did not see the warning on them. So what's the deal? Should I get rid of my vinegar?
Is there allowable lead in our water?
Here is a link that might be useful: http://water.epa.gov/drink/info/lead/
The allowable level for lead in water (set by EPA ) is 15 ppb (parts per billion)

Portlandia Winery Pinot Gris 2013
Pinot Gris/Grigio from Willamette Valley, Oregon
Winemaker's Notes
Aromas of Granny Smith apples, Anjou pears, ripe Meyer lemons with light floral and clove notes. Aromas repeat on palate, with a lingering, crisp medium-long finish. A classic Oregon style Pinot Gris. The crisp acidity of this wine will pair beautifully with fresh Dungeness crab and roasted garlic butter. Drink now.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "This wine has a crisp, breezy bouquet of salad greens, melon and pear. Fresh and textural, it's balanced with a lick of wet stone to wrap up."
Portlandia Winery
The passion at Portlandia is to bring the best of what Oregon's Willamette Valley has to offer in both wine and lifestyle. We start with some natural advantages. The cool climate and coastal influences make Oregon's pinot noir and pinot gris some of the best in the world. But producing good wine in this climate still requires an enormous effort made possible only by a very creative and talented team.
Winemaker Judy Thoet hand-selected wine lots predominantly from Larkin Vineyard (between Amity and Dallas, Oregon). Within the effects of the Van Duzer Corridor, this site gets cool breezes from the Pacific during the hot summer months. This affects ripening by allowing for a longer hang-time in the vineyard while maintaining balanced acidity and full maturity of the berries with flavors and complexity.
Peaceful, concerned, edgy wine from the famous grape growing region of Oregon. These idealistic wines demand your attention with depth and drinkability for every occasion. What makes Portlandia special is its view on life—play hard, work later—like only an Oregonian can understand. Cheers! View all Portlandia Winery Wines
About Willamette Valley(will-AAM-it)
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley are are number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable FactsThe valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.
About OregonOregon has long been an agricultural state, producing everything from hazelnuts to cattle. The Willamette Valley in particular is a fertile basin for all sorts of produce. Not quite pegged as a wine state, in 1965, a UC Davis graduate named David Lett decided that the Willamette's climate mirrored that of Burgundy in France. With that in mind, he decided to plant some Pinot Noir clones to see how they did. And a good gamble it was. The Willamette is now one of the only regions in the world to focus solely on Pinot Noir as its red variety. Also known for Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The southern part of Oregon has been slower in delving into the world wine market, but has been making excellent strides with their Rhone style varietals, like Syrah and Grenache. There are also coastal regions producing promising wines.

- Light & Crisp
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Lyricist and Rajya Sabha MP Javed Akhtar has been provided round-the-clock security following death threats received by him for allegedly calling an Islamic cleric "insane" during a television debate on a fatwa against working women.
"We have provided security to Javed Akhtar by posting armed guards at his house. The guards would follow him wherever he goes," a police official said.
Mr. Akhtar has been receiving threat mails after he commented on the fatwa allegedly issued by Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband.
An email received by him on May 12 had said "your countdown has begun".
The lyricist had lodged a complaint with the police on Friday and was given protection since Saturday.
The cyber cell of Mumbai police and Anti Terrorism Squad are probing the email threat received by him.
Reacting to the threat, Mr. Akhtar said, "I would not be restricted in movement or speech. I have always stood up for what I think is right and I would continue to do so".
