New interest in reviving racing at Yakima
AUBURN, Wash. - The news last week was about Eric Nelson's plans to return racing to Playfair and Andy Stronach's hopes to bring racing to Point Roberts.
This week, there is renewed interest in resurrecting racing at Yakima Meadows, which has been dark since its last operator called it quits after just 10 days of a scheduled 40-day meet in 1998.
Nelson, a Las Vegas real estate broker who owns Wyoming Downs and holds an option on Green Mountain Park, a dormant track in Vermont, has confirmed that he is investigating the possibility of leasing Yakima Meadows. He was scheduled to meet Wednesday with Greg Stewart, president and general manager of the Central Washington Fair Association, which owns the track.
Other parties are also interested in the central Washington track. A group of Southwest investors who vied with Nelson to buy Playfair looked at Yakima Meadows on Monday, according to Stewart. That group is headed by Jim Brown, a New Mexico resident with business interests in Washington.
Pat LePley, chairman of the Washington Horse Racing Commission, has credited a 2001 law that greatly expanded simulcasting for spurring the surge of interest in Washington racing. Nelson and others have also cited the prospect of alternative forms of gambling, including cards and Instant Racing, as an attraction.
Obstacles to returning racing to Yakima Meadows are substantial, however. Although the clubhouse and grandstand have been maintained in the years the track has been dark, the inner rail and the portable stalls that filled the large barns have been removed. A sprint-car track now intersects a portion of the horse racing surface, which would require major renovation to again accommodate racing. In addition, certain environmental issues, such as the disposal of waste water, may need to be addressed.
Yakima Meadows occupies a part of the Central Washington State Fairgrounds and could be leased, but not purchased.
Favorite's flop creates record payoff
It is difficult to say which was the more shocking aspect of last Sunday's one-mile Kent Handicap: that Dolly's Hit Man won the $45,000 stakes, or that Lasting Code didn't.
Lasting Code, who had been sold for a six-figure sum before the Kent, went off at 3-5 after dominating a pair of local stakes for 3-year-old fillies. She broke half a step slowly and was forced wide around both turns, but that can hardly explain her lackluster last place finish under leading rider Kevin Radke.
Instead, Dolly's Hit Man, overlooked at 13-1, took the lead at the start and was never seriously challenged, scoring by four lengths under Nate Chavez in 1:35.60. Miss Ballard ran second at 9-1, Mimi La Rue was up for third at 37-1, and Ashbecca closed for fourth at 4-1. Those four produced an Emerald Downs record superfecta payoff of $15,487.20.
It was the fourth win from 15 starts for Dolly's Hit Man, who races for Allen Floyd of Othello.
"I really like this filly over a route of ground, but she had a little bleeding problem at Golden Gate and I was slow to detect it," said trainer Tim McCanna. "Once we got that taken care of and gave her a little break, she really blossomed. I thought that if Lasting Code didn't fire, we could beat the others."
* Jockey Ben Russell was red hot last week. After taking off his mounts on Thursday while ill, Russell won three races Friday, four Saturday and three again on Sunday to finish the week with 10 wins from 24 mounts. Russell now has 43 wins through 28 days of racing, just one fewer than Radke.
* Arctic White, one of just a dozen horses registered as pure white in color, registered a bullet six-furlong drill in 1:12.60 on Sunday morning. Trainer Howard Belvoir is prepping the 3-year-old Arctic White for his debut on the maiden special weight level at Emerald.
* Colony Lane, runner-up in the six furlong Auburn Stakes for 3-year-olds in just the second start of his career, underwent surgery last week to remove a bone chip from his knee. Trainer Bonnie Jenne said he will probably miss the remainder of the Emerald meeting.
* Salt Grinder remained undefeated after three career starts by winning last Sunday's 6 1/-2-furlong Klondike Handicap at Hastings Park.

With only 33 days left in the Wix.com "SEO Hero Challenge," authorities anticipate we are in for a lot of trouble in the immediate future. Already we have seen small increases in spamming and with lots of unanswered questions about who may be behind the dubious activity and only suspicions remain.
Some reports have surfaced regarding the omission of links and the unethical promotion of websites with paid ads; other victims have since reported the unscrupulous buying of links from third parties claiming: "it is all about obtaining an unfair advantage in the challenge."
Wix Tools Robot believes "there is bound to be an increase in suspicious activity associated with the competition," and the recent crimewave will only escalate as the contest approaches the announcement of a winner at its' end on or near March 17, 2017.
Just a Bunch of SEO Hero Rumors & Accusations?
Lots of rumors and accusations but nothing concrete to go on for evidence about who is behind the criminal activity. Authorities have stated they suspect the culprits received instruction about SEO at the infamous School of Gifted Optimizers operated by Professor F, long suspected to be a part of an organized crime syndicate.
Serving millions of website builders, both professional and novices alike, the School of Gifted Optimizers may be the place to start looking for the parties responsible for these attacks. Alleged criminals known to have attended the school include dubious WIX authored villains: Tagmeto, Bounce, Apocalinks, Duplicate Man, and Spamtinels.
All the nefarious types mentioned have long histories of causing chaos in search results everywhere and these crimes have their "methods of operations" (MO) all over them. They live to break our links, manipulate our code, duplicate our content and spam us out of existence.
Each of them is very gifted at what they do and left unchecked, they would certainly destroy any hope of an honest, fair, and undisputed contest.
Tagmeto, possibly the most powerful of the villains mentioned, has gone virtually unreported in this challenge but considering what is at stake here authorities suspect he will not be discouraged from making his appearance.
Now enemies, once professor F and Tagmeto shared SEO philosophies and were good friends. Fear Tagmeto he can manipulate source code altering anything and everything in his path.
Bounce, may have been noticed or not, Robot hasn't seen any reports of the activity usually associated with him, but his massive mass of mass will bounce visitors right off your site leaving your site invisible to all!
Duplicate Man
Duplicate Man makes mirror images of himself (that would be a selfie of sorts) or of your website's content. He is known by several participants who may have been victims of his talents.
Nothing yet has ever been discovered linking Professor F with any of these criminals or their activities since leaving the school and the professor is not under any suspicion by authorities.
Professor F did confirm a report about a hack involving spam that recently occurred on the gifted optimizer School's website and that he had suspicions the notorious Spamtinels was involved somehow.
"It has his annoying automated footprint all over it." "Fake coupons, scandals, and something about Donald Trump are all signature marks of Spantinels' debauchery."
Spamtinels is known to be an annoying antagonist and he has been known to be highly dangerous causing websites to be abandoned, so if you spot him use extreme caution and report it to authorities immediately.
Other incidents of suspicious activity reported in the contest have the signature tell tale signs of the ancient SEO villain—Apocalinks, a known associate of Spantinels.
Many contestants have noticed unexplainable increases in duplicate links on their sites placing them at risk of being on the edge of oblivion.
Apocalinks is very dangerous as he can alter form: changing links to no follow and destroying links altogether. The mischief Apocalinks can unleash may leave a site unrecoverable. If you spot him act fast or all will be lost in oblivion.
Certainly, our SEO Heroes can protect us! And themselves! Right?
Well, nothing is for certain. Rest assured though, the SEO Heroes in this contest are up to the challenge as many have already reported dealing with the exploits these well known and dangerous villains have perpetrated.

Members of the Mafia
In the early part of the 2008 presidential election, we told Mitt Romney of Massachusettes that we put our children's blood on the line to defend his dirty money and those bastards on Wall St. And Citibank has been manipulated by Muslim terrorists. Their lifestyle is just like the old Mafia. The difference is that the old Italian mafia were called gansters, but this mafia are called 'business people'.
The mess that the Republicans have created is one of the worst messes that the world has ever seen. We have a man named Dick Cheney who doesn't have a heart, he runs on batteries. Then we have a man named George Bush. They call him 'Commander in Chief'. He will soon leave his post with a dishonorable discharge. Furthermore, he will be charged with war crimes because the Iraq war was not based on weapons of mass destruction, but on family revenge. After Saddam invaded Kuwait, a multi-national force liberated it. Afterwards, Saddam tried to assasinate Bush's father and but it failed. Bush Jr. promised his father that if he wins the election, he would take revenge against Saddam.
In reality, 9/11 was what Bush was looking for, not directly, but indirectly. In other words, his intention was to invade Iraq one way or the other. But one question no one is asking is: "Why was Bin Laden's main goal to destroy the world's financial institutions?' Now 8 years later we look back and see that many banks are linked to terrorists. And now the Bush administration throws billions of dollars of taxpayer money at the same banks that have been fucking the American people and the rest of the world, just to protect their interests and capitalism's interests.
After 9/11, Bush decided that this would be a good time to take revenge against Saddam. He fabricated false information with the CIA. As a matter of fact, Bush gave the man in charge of the CIA at the time a medal of honor, to lie to the world, and to cover up the Bush family revenge. Dick Cheney's mentality was all about capitalizing on Iraqi oil. So there were two main priciple's behind the war...family revenge and huge profits based on oil price manipulation. One thing we know for sure is that the Bush family has made more money than any other president in history. And know that war crimes charges will come from Europe and the Muslim world. We are well aware who is beating the drums for war crimes charges. We have been profiling them for the past 5 years and we are well aware that intelligence agencies are trying to profile us. But you cannot profile what you cannot see or feel. We are American. Who are you working for? On Nov 28, 2008 Bush called all the members of this mafia organization to Washington DC to pay their respects to Bush. They took pictures together. Everyone was there. The italian mafia, the russian mafia and so on. They drank champagne and as far as they were concerned there was no financial crisis. They had a great time and now you and I pick up the tab as usual.
This meeting was not about the world economy. You and us know the real reason for this meeting. One thing we'll tell you Mr. Bush is that you and Dick Cheney and Rusmfeld are responsible for thousands of American troops lives. Even so, you created this corrupt justice system to save yourselves. One thing is for sure. Cheney will not take his blood money with him. And you will not be Commander In Chief. You will be another human like the rest of us. And when you die it won't matter if they take your body on a tour of Washington or dedicate a library to you. You have to face judgement like everyone else.
And when Judgement Day comes, you will not find a corrupt judge.

Ah. That is my sigh of relief because my finals are done and I have officially completed my first year as a nutrition student! What a year it has been for me! These past few weeks have been both stressful, yet enlightening…and also filled with chocolate. Yes, chocolate. I consider chocolate to be a great stress reliever (when consumed in moderation) and for the past week or so I've been eating at least one meal or snack that has a chocolatey component. I don't think I'm alone when I say that chocolate just makes me feel happy! But on a nutrition note, chocolate offers many benefits such as antioxidants and has actually been shown to reduce cortisol (a stress hormone) levels overtime (which proves my point that chocolate is a great stress reliever!). I've also noticed that lately my diet is heavy in carbohydrates because of my new juicer and that leaves me craving a fat source. Chocolate is rich in fats (mainly saturated and monounsaturated fat) which is why eating a piece of chocolate after a meal can be ever so satisfying.
Two ways that I consumed chocolate this past week were in a delicious, guilt-free, microwave brownie recipe involving black beans (trust me, it tastes better than it sounds!) and a quick breakfast involving chocolate chips. Here are the recipes:
Black Bean Microwave Brownies (serves 1-2)
- 1/4 cup almond meal
- 1/4 cup mashed black beans (you can either mash with a spoon or process in a food processor)
- 1 tbsp. honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- a tsp. or two of almond milk (if mixture needs more liquid)
- chocolate chips (for topping)
Combine all ingredients (except chocolate chips) in a microwave bowl, and heat for 3 minutes. Mixture should solidify into a cake-like brownie, but continue to heat if not yet cake-like. Top with chocolate chips and enjoy!
Chocolatey Rice Cake Snack
(This isn't necessarily a "Recipe", rather it's one of my favorite snacks/breakfasts/healthy desserts)
- brown rice cakes
- almond butter (or peanut butter)
- chocolate chips
For a quick treat, eat rice cakes with almond butter, topped with chocolate chips. Make it a meal by pairing it with a juice or smoothie, or if you're craving protein, eat an egg, cottage cheese, tofu scramble, or whatever your heart desires on the side!
As always, try to listen to your body. The past few weeks have taught me that when I'm stressed, chocolate beckons, and also that high-carb meals can sometimes result in cravings for fat-rich foods. Experiment with what works for you and obey your chocolate cravings in healthy ways! Lastly, if you haven't done so, feel free to follow me on instagram @vitaminvalentine for daily pictures focused on creative food, wellness, and snapshots of my life!

I don't know about you but I don't care that Alex Jones, presenter of the One Show and rival with DIY SOS' door frames for the 'most wooden thing on TV' award, gets paid £450,000 for reading an autocue.
I'm not bothered that Steve Wright, one of the few of his generation of disc jockeys not to have been beset by scandal of one form or another, takes home half a million quid each year. Do we still call them 'disc jockeys'? Does he still have a posse?
And I must be frank I admire that local boy done good, Gary Lineker, has the cajones to think he's worth £1.8 million, in addition to his crisp fortune, for basically staying up late on a Saturday night to tell us about football matches we already know the results of and many have already watched through various nefarious streaming methods. Well played, sir.
The point is that Ms Jones or Mr Wright or Gary, as I like to call him, have clearly got decent agents who will negotiate for them passionately and, I am told authoritatively, that these three stars and virtually every other on the recently published BBC Rich List could have earned significantly more with private sector broadcasters.
The simple truth is that it is doesn't bother me too much how much Derek Thompson earns, I don't think I had ever even heard of Derek Thompson until I read the list and someone told me he's been in Casualty for more than 70 years, because I simply don't watch the BBC.
Let me qualify that slightly. I will usually put the news on in the morning in one shape or another, it could be BBC Breakfast or it could be the Today programme, but aside from that: nothing. In fact I would go as far as saying I virtually never watch terrestrial TV.
I pay for Netflix and Amazon Prime; I love audiobooks from Audible and stream music from Spotify; I even still take digital newspapers and magazines and I pay for the lot.
So why when there is nothing for me and my family do I have to pay, or be prosecuted and even go to prison, for entertainment which I simply don't use or want?
If people want Football Focus or Mrs Brown's Boys or even the interminable Graham Norton then fine. But surely I shouldn't stump up for their enjoyment?
It's like a Leicester City season ticket holder being told they are legally obligated to pay towards Derby County because 'well, you know, we need a government owned football club'.
No. We have a hugely competitive market in this country trying to entice us in with streaming and quality content; seriously have you seen The Crown on Netflix? it's amazing; and for the most part I and countless others think they do it far better than a monolithic establishment broadcaster fit for purpose thirty years ago but now with a funding model fit for nothing more than the scrapheap.
I do get that there is an argument for an impartial news organisation, I even get that having one should be funded through taxation. If there was a subscription model just for news I would probably even be one of the first to sign up for it.
But Bargain Hunt? Escape to the Country? Pitch Battle (whatever that is)? Flog It!? Do me a favour!
Of course there is a serious point to all of this. Your annual licence fee is now £147. That's way more per year than any of the streaming services, with Amazon Prime for considerably less than that you even get your shopping delivered next day free of charge. Just imagine Vanessa Feltz turning up with you groceries?
Given the choice many, many families on lower incomes would choose an option other than our state broadcaster.
In fact there's a strong argument that the poorest people in our society are subsidising the wealthiest. How on earth can Alan Yentob be on the rich list, and just what does he do? I've no idea but I'll venture there's not many residents of North West Leicestershire and South Derbyshire who have him down on Series Link.
Crucially though there isn't a choice. If you own a television you must pay.
Now I don't have any problem at all with government providing services that we need, you know, a health service and schools and roads, they are essential, that is what government is there for. But just like the world has moved on from a state owned telecoms companies in 2017 we don't need a barely adequate state broadcaster.
It really is time to end this stunning anachronism.

I was first introduced to midwifery care through my sister. She shared such wonderful and empowering stories about her birth experiences that even before I became pregnant I was sure that was the way I would give birth to my children.
How far into your pregnancy did you apply for care?
I knew through my sister that you pretty much had to be calling while you were peeing on the stick, hahaha. I called as soon as I saw that we were expecting.
When did you find out you were accepted into care?
I found out I was pregnant mid November, so I called to apply and I was denied, so I had found an OBGYN. It wasn't until late January that I received a call saying a spot opened up and that I was accepted. I was ECSTATIC!
Ali Swanson, Danielle Laxdal, Maren Kliewer & Susan Wintoniw - Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Whenever I had a question or concern, one of you were always just a phone call away to reassure me. If we needed to meet, one of you would be there, even if it meant a 4am house visit. I don't know of any OBGYNS that would be doing that! You guys give phenomenal care and I greatly appreciate everything you did for myself and my family during the prenatal, birth, and postnatal care. Even when there was a hospital transfer after birth, you stuck with us and ensured we were heard, informed, and involved in the care and decision making for our son. I cannot begin to express how appreciative we are of this.

Having Fun Changing Your World
It was only this mid-July that it really sunk in what being happy really is all about; not just knowing it, but really getting it was a huge revelation for me, so right now I am concentrating on being happy, by living each moment with a sense of adventure and getting to know the inner me.
I understand now that you have to start 'living to be happy' and get into that zone where you feel sure of who you are now before you can really start 'having fun changing your world' by developing your Higher Self - the best of who we are.
We as humans are in an exciting unique position. We have the ability to consciously decide to make decisions based on wholesome moral and ethical choices for ourselves and for others, rather than from our more primitive, animalistic and egocentric 'lower self'.
The Buddha named wholesome moral and ethical actions 'sīla', which means: to abstain from all actions, all words, and all deeds that harm ourselves or anyone/thing else.
This includes never lying, never hurting, and never playing emotional games with our own feelings or the feelings of others. He also gave some precepts which describe how an enlightened person lives. Check out this beautiful website I found on the precepts.
As I have mentioned previously, Jesus condensed all his teachings into one: Love your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, and love your neighbour as you love yourself.
All spiritual teachers say our 'God' is unconditional love, and whereas some say our God is the Creator of everything, for many others our God is the unconditional love within ourselves - our Higher Self. Whatever you believe, the guideline on how to be morally and ethically compassionate is the same.
Asking ourselves questions such as 'should I eat other animals?' is an important question to ask, and the answer may be 'yes' and it may be 'no', but we should not just accept the answer from a society that encourages us to eat processed foods that are unquestionably terrible for us. Such questions are personal and individual and the answers should come from how you feel about your world deep inside you!
This comes back to the point that we have to first be in a good place ourselves, if we want to let that good broaden, widen and spread.
Really, we already know how to develop the best of who we are and how important that is for us, but we need to really get back into re-discovering who we really are in order to know to what extent and in what way we want to make that change happen. That is where I am at right now.
Through my videos and blog posts I will share with you all that I discover along the way, so this section in all its glory is still to come!
Please bare with me!

RGU's Fiona Masters Marketing
RGU's B2B Marketing Officer Fiona Jardine graduated with an MSc International Marketing Management from the university's Aberdeen Business School on Wednesday July 10 at 2.30pm.
Fiona's first degree is in languages and literature and she has always enjoyed education so decided to further her study in an area which interested her the most – marketing.
She said: "When I first became employed at RGU's Aberdeen Business School as a Study Abroad Administrator, I really felt I was in the right place to take advantage of the opportunity of further study.
"Marketing was the area which interested me the most so I applied for the MSc International Marketing Management. The global aspect of the course is what appealed to me the most but I've really enjoyed the mix of theoretical and practical modules the course offers."
Fiona's student experience this time was different however as she followed most of the course via distance learning while working full-time and having a young daughter at home.
"I did the first two years working full-time, which was tough enough, but by the time I reached the dissertation stage I had had a baby girl plus my full-time job so this added a whole new pressure to the mix," she said.
"At times I felt really guilty about the amount of time I had to spend away from her to study but I knew it was only for a short time and I had come too far to quit.
"Apart from an enhanced understanding of business, which I value, I appreciate my family in a different way having done this. It would have been impossible without their support. I think you do need that behind you.
"I'm delighted that I managed to complete the course but I feel family has to be a priority for the next few years.
Fiona added: "I'm really pleased that I was offered a job in the University's Marketing Department at the end of last year, which is exactly what I wanted, so I really feel it has helped me get onto the career path I want to follow."

About a little over a year ago, I was approached by a friend of mine to help out with a mission targeted at Veterans. They asked me to help with photos and possibly a video for the effort. I met with them and heard the mission and was sold on the direction they were headed. Being a veteran and speaking to all the veterans that were apart of this group had me in Suspense and wanting to help right away.
Since then, we have done quite a few images for them, but it evolved into a mission targeting not only veterans, but Law enforcement and first responders. There mission is a Christ centered ministry, dedicated to serving our US military , first responders, veterans & their families by leading them to the truths that can positively transform their lives. There are so many who have served in this capacity by serving in one of those areas, but it cost them. Some it cost their life, some it cost their mental stability, others their family and more.
So many want to help but just do not know where to begin. They want to reach out to those with PTSD and other disorders where these "servants" have paid the cost and now are just trying to get back into the normal life pattern, but are finding it difficult.
Strongpoint is the place. This group of people is dedicated to offering their service to reconnect those seeking help. So whether you can help with a donation or help by serving or even directing someone you know who is going through this challenge , Reach out to Strongpoint Refuge.
Here is the commercial we produced for them....I sincerely hope that this touches each and everyone who views it.

Double-sided disk
In computer science, a double-sided disk is a disk of which both sides are used to store data.
Early floppy disks only used one surface for recording. The term single-sided disk was not common until the introduction of the double-sided disk, which offered double the capacity in the same physical size. Initially, double-sided disks had to be removed and flipped over to access data on the other side, but eventually devices were made that could read both sides without the need to eject the disk.
Manufacturers sold both single-sided and double-sided disks with the double-sided disks being typically 50% more expensive than single-sided disks. While the magnetic-coated medium was coated on both sides, the single-sided floppies had a read-write notch on only one side, thus allowing only one side of the disk to be used. When users discovered this, they began buying the less-expensive single-sided disks and "notching" them using scissors, a hole punch, or a specially-designed "notcher" to allow them to write to the reverse side of the disk.
DVDs also are available in single-sided and double-sided formats, often as an alternative to two-disc packages. Both sides can be either single layered (DVD-10) or dual layered (DVD-18) or both (DVD-14). When used for movie releases, double-sided DVDs typically have the widescreen (or letterbox) version of the movie on one side, and the pan and scan (sometimes called "fullscreen") version on the opposite side, often with different set of bonus content on each side (Many Fox and MGM DVDs have this setup). Some releases place the feature on Side A, and the extra features on the Side B (i.e. The Pianist and Terminator 1 and 2). Some particularly lengthy films (i.e. Schindler's List and Oliver!) are divided between the two sides, starting on Side A and continuing on Side B, and include a prompt for when to flip the disc (identically to a LaserDisc). It is more convenient, however, for movies to be released on single-sided discs, with the film and extras on the same side, and widescreen and letterbox versions packaged separately.

An Asia Society Texas Center and Consulate General of India, Houston initiative
Consulate General of India, Houston in collaboration with Asia Society Texas Center, Houston presented a talk by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev on 'Yoga: A Force of Transformation'
HOUSTON – TX – Addressing the UN General Assembly on 27 September 2014, the Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi had termed Yoga "an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition" and called on the international community to work "towards adopting an International Yoga Day." The United Nations General Assembly declared June 21st as the International Day of Yoga on Dec 11, 2014.
Consulate General of India, Houston in close partnership with various Houston based Yoga and other institutions, including the Asia Society, organized the first International Day of Yoga on June 21, 2015 at George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston witnessing a turnout of over 3500 from "Houston's Yoga Family".
As part of a similar initiative, the Consulate General of India in collaboration with Asia Society presented a talk by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev of Isha Foundation on 'Yoga: A force of Transformation' at Asia Society Texas Center, Houston on 22 October, 2015.
It was a sold out event comprising of over 250 guests including members of Consular Corps of Houston, Elected officials and their representatives, Media, Houston-based prominent Yoga gurus, Yoga enthusiasts, Isha Foundation volunteers and general public.
The event began with a welcome address by Asia Society's Ms. Elizabeth Orton, Senior Director of Operations & Administration. A short video on Isha foundation was played in the Brown Foundation Performing Arts Theater at Asia Society. Consul General, Mr. P Harish gave his greetings to the community on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra. He introduced and welcomed Sadhguru to Houston which was his third visit.
Sadhguru spoke on the definition of Yoga, the Four Paths of Yoga– Karma, Bhakti, Gnana and Kriya, the transformational potential of Yoga and how physical postures represent small part of the framework of Yoga. He gave very interesting and insightful examples on Yoga and its impact on life. The program concluded with a Q&A session where the audience interacted with Sadhguru on various topics.
The gathering at this talk at Asia Society exemplified spirit of harmony, oneness of Yoga and harnessing the power of Yoga for personal transformation.

The spike in 30-year fixed interest rates, at a time of continuously rising home prices, has pushed home affordability to its lowest level since 2009, and cut potential refinance loan candidates by 40%, according to Black Knight's Mortgage Monitor report.
In just the first six weeks of the year, about 1.4 million borrowers lost the interest rate incentive to refinance. There are still 2.65 million potential refi customers likely to qualify and benefit from a loan refinance at current rates, but this is the smallest this population has been since 2008, prior to the initial rate decline during the recession.
Mortgage rates are challenging refinance loan volumes at a time when they were already shrinking. In 2017, refinance originations plummeted 29% from the previous year, with total volume down by $355 billion, or 34%.
The rate spike also contributed to a 6% increase in the median home price over the first six weeks of the year. To purchase a current median home, it requires 23% of a homebuyer's median monthly income, the highest this share has been since 2009.
Notably, homes in the lowest price tiers continue to see the greatest price appreciation rates, with properties in the bottom 20% seeing the quickest growth in prices for 67 consecutive months.
Affordability declines from rising rates could continue putting more pressure on lower-income buyers, who may face increased competition for lower-priced homes.
Overall in 2017, the median home grew $17,570 in value, the largest rise in dollar amount since 2006, and hit an all-time high of $283,000 at the end of the year.
January's median home value is 5.8%, or $15,400, greater than at the peak of the market in 2006.

Google Chrome Market Share Battle
It was posted today in the financial times that the online search engine giant Google, in an attempt to improve the market share of its browser Chrome have now partnered up with Sony.
Sony will now as a standard feature have Google Chrome installed on all of its Vaio Computers.
Recent market research shows that the Current market share of internet browsers is divided up with Internet explorer taking first place with a 67.7 percent market share. Firefox further increasing it share to 22.5 percent; Apple Mac's Safari browser is now taking a 4.1 percent share, leaving Google's Chrome at only 2.59%.
It has been close to a year since Google first launched its Chrome browser. I would be right to assume that this percent market share is far below the company's expectations.
Google is confident that this partnership will play a large role in their attempt to improving their market share and getting people familiar with the new browser. This will work in conjunction with a separate experimental deal to have Chrome be an optional addition when installing realplayer (a popular media player).

Seyed Hossein Mousavian
This is the text of Ambassador Seyed Hossein Mousavian's speech at the international conference of "Balancing Counter-Terrorism and Human Rights: Challenges and Opportunities" in Geneva, Switzerland from 16-17 February 2015.
Everybody agrees with the urgent and pressing need to combat terrorism - not only states and their security apparatuses, but equally common citizens whose fundamental security and everyday life are threatened by terrorists.
However, the challenge for common citizens and for civil society actors and institutions, is twofold and much more complex.
Common citizens are entitled, to be provided with a reasonable degree of safety and security, but they are also seriously concerned about the actual repercussions of the anti-terrorist policies, measures and actions of the state on their rights and civil liberties, otherwise known under the general rubric of 'human rights'.
Numerous reports on the violations of human rights on a global scale, and in a wide range of societies, including well-entrenched democracies, corroborate the fact that such violations, continue to happen in many societies.
Persistence of violations point to the key difficulty associated with ensuring effective respect for all categories of rights.
There is little doubt that states are under the legal obligation to implement the universally-recognized human rights. That's not in question at all.
The question – or the challenge – is how to ensure respect for the legally-constitutionally-recognized rights effectively. This is the exact point where the difficulty might arise.
We all know the ugly episodes of blatant violations of human rights in Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay.
The divide between the Washington official position in defense of the practice in the Guantanamo prison in the name of 'combating terrorism' on the one hand and the legal position of lawyers and human rights defenders condemning the practice on the other, demonstrates the actual difficulty of the need for balancing between the counter-terrorism measures the US government considered necessary and the effective protection of the human rights of the imprisoned inmates.
The US government, a powerful, stable state by any account and though not facing either an internal insurgency or external terrorist assault, badly failed in its encounter with the critical test at Guantanamo Bay.
The fact that the Obama administration has failed to close the prison, points to the actual difficulty I am referring to.
The structural-institutional barriers preventing the closure of the prison, however, do not absolve the US government of its legal obligation to protect the rights of inmates.
The question still poses itself that terrorist activities create certain situations and circumstances where actual protection of the human rights and civil liberties of common citizens proves difficult.
Another situation and example is Iran and its own experience in combating terrorism in the early years of 1980s.
At the time, while Iran was engaged in the Iraqi imposed War, an armed opposition force – the infamous MKO – took up arms against the Islamic Republic and resorted to an all-out campaign of assassinations.
The campaign met with a strong official response, and was defeated. As I have explained in my book on Iran-US Relations, the measures taken by the government to counter the nation-wide terrorist campaign, have been judged by human rights defenders and political critics as excessive and constraining of civil and political liberties.
The situation becomes all the more complex and challenging when a serious humanitarian crisis has developed in Syria since 2012.
How do any of us think about the chances for sheer survival of common folks caught in the cross-fire of fighting military forces?
Under such circumstances, who would shoulder the responsibility of providing the most basic needs of the population under war conditions, the displaced population or the refugees?
So, the difficulty is there, and all states encountering terror campaigns have a very tough situation on their hands.
These few examples of relevant concern make thinking about the possible balance under discussion extremely challenging.
What makes efforts towards working for a balance extremely difficult, is the current state of sophistication terrorist organization have achieved in recent times.
The sudden emergence of a military force such as ISIS – the so-called Islamic State – and its striking military advances provides the best example in this regard.
The barbaric ways of conquering cities and villages and perpetration of unbelievably brutal methods of killing their victims or hostages, renders reasonable reflection practically moot.
The question then becomes how to fight and defeat the new beast, even if through sheer military means - with inevitable substantial collateral damage on innocent, defenseless population in the area.
Have we heard anything about the human rights of the occupied Kobani people or has anybody been in a position to argue about the balance at issue here in this Conference while the bloody fight has been going on?
I'm afraid not, if for no other reason that the primary objective of all the anti-ISIS forces involved, has been to liberate this Kurdish city the soonest possible from the hands of the terrorists.
I presume the issue of the need to establish the balance might lose its strength or at least immediacy when either achieving a specific military objective or target is involved or sheer human survival is on the line.
Aside from the issue of the international community's responsibility in providing humanitarian assistance, we also have to ponder on how other states should help in containing and stemming the spread of terrorist activities as a long-term project.
Everybody is fully aware of the political factors that have led to the emergence of the major terrorist organizations in the Middle East in recent decades, starting with the genesis of the Taliban in the wake of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and the emergence of Al-Qaeda subsequently, the developments in the post 9/11 period and the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, and what has transpired in the aftermath of the failed "Arab Spring" – most vividly in Syria.
Keen observers know about how the situation in Syria transformed in a short time from a familiar civil disobedience and political dispute into a bloody civil war, once the second and third generations of Al-Qaeda terrorists were injected into the Syrian theatre since 2012.
The rest is history now. What the whole world has ended up with now is the production of ISIS and its military onslaught and the new threateningly unstable situation in Iraq, Syria and beyond.
Failed policies of direct foreign intervention and the folly of shaping the New Middle East since the Newcons assumed office in Washington, have created destruction with the region and further complicated its problems; among others, chronic underdevelopment, the still open wound of Palestine, rise of reactionary Salafi currents, and unfortunate expansion of sectarian strife.
Considering the actual state of regional rivalries among major players in the area, be it Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, or others to lesser degrees, foreign intervention has simply failed to resolve any of these chronic problems. They have instead aggravated and exacerbated the situation.
The US led coalition fighting ISIS has failed and would continue to fail in the absence of "A Collective Plan of Action" among regional and international powers. Such plan could include the following measures:
1. To adopt and enforce effective measures banning financial and weaponry supports for extremist,
2. To address the root causes of creation and the rise of such terrorist groups,
3. To control the borders, adopt administrative and law enforcement measures,
4. To generate public awareness about the dangers of intolerance,
5. To eradicate poverty, unemployment and underdevelopment, as the main sources of feeding extremism and its recruitment,
6. To deepen the culture of understanding and peace, and institutionalize regular dialogue among world major divine religions.
Therefore, the question of striking a balance between the imperative of countering terrorism and respecting and protecting human rights is definitely a legitimate, pertinent question for all of us.
While we have to remain principled in our approach to the fundamental issue and cause of human rights, we also have to hold the international community responsible for their conduct and practice, even though one has to admit that holding states as formal entities responsible for their conduct and actions is one thing and dealing with illusive, ghost-like non-entities moving across national frontiers with relative ease and changing color and designation quite a different matter.
Despite such a difficulty and complication, nonetheless, both aspects of the issue at hand are integrally inter-related and need to be kept in mind and given due attention. Neither can afford to be either neglected or denied.
I hope that the future could be brighter and better as the collectivity of all of us bring ourselves to take a more sober, less impassioned, and strategic look at the difficult situation – and situations – we have to deal with. Past history teaches us a good number of lessons.

For the last five years, I have been the Election Integrity Editor for OpEdNews. I have written over 400 articles, interviews, book and documentary reviews, op-ed pieces, and action alerts for OpEdNews and readers at large. I have given voice to issues and individuals that you won't find elsewhere, not even in the New York Times or on NPR.
I have interviewed election integrity advocates and experts who are not shills for corporate or special interests. I've done a series on political prosecutions and another on whistle-blowers. I have investigated our penal system to expose many of its abuses through the eyes of prisoners and their families.
Additionally, I have purposely counterbalanced the bad news by focusing on the positive, interviewing countless activists striving to make their corner of the world a better place. I have written about mindful consuming, local networks of shelters and soup kitchens, post-Katrina efforts in the Gulf area, alternate gift-giving, and much more.
How can you help ensure this type of coverage continues?
I am a volunteer and receive no salary, expense account or benefits. My work as an independent journalist and activist is supported through contributions from people like you. Your donation in any amount will make a difference. Only by helping one another can we hope to succeed.
2010 is drawing to a close. It has been a momentous year. The Supreme Court's historic decision -- Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission -- allows corporations and special interests (including foreign entities) to pour unlimited and unreported millions into political campaigns. We just witnessed how that played out in our recent elections. The purported grass-roots Tea Party movement was actually financed almost exclusively by several billionaires with their own agenda. [See Covert Operations , Jane Mayer, New Yorker]
Interestingly enough, people of all political stripes understand and oppose the concept, but how to overcome this democracy-throttling decision is another matter entirely.
With your help, I will continue to write about how to restore a healthier democracy through:
Election reform -- Getting rid of electronic voting, as has been done in Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands
Campaign finance reform -- Less corporate money and more public financing and
Media reform -- Reversing the concentration of media ownership.

I don't know what we would have done without hiring Lia to be our wedding planner. We had a very specific, very grand vision, and she made it all come to life. She was at every meeting, handled all emails, made sure we hit deadlines, and was a go-to for all of our vendors. Any problem we ran into, she was ready with immediate solutions. The timeline she created for the day's events was impressive- it was so detailed! Every one of our guests said it was the best wedding / party they have been to and that is truly a direct reflection of all of Lia's efforts.
- Ashley & Samuel Russell
Lia with I Do Details was an integral part of our wedding day success. We planned our wedding from afar which added an additional stress to an already heightened experience- After all, you want your day to be perfect. Not being in the city we were getting married in didn't matter because Lia was able to help. She went above and beyond to ease our (mostly my) nerves, help provide guidance, advice and ideas when it was needed most. Her follow up was respectful. She kept us on track. Her persistent approach coupled with her caring personality made it easy to work with her. Her extra attention to detail models the values she has created within her company. I would recommend her to any bride. We are grateful to have had her support on one of the most important days and experiences of our lives.
-Malea & Ricky Tribble
When James and I decided to hire Lia as our wedding planner we really didn't know what to expect but she went above and beyond our expectations. She made sure we hit every deadline, she gave her opinion when needed and most importantly she became our very best friend through the entire process. She stayed on budget and treated our money as it was her own. She made us feel she was planning her own wedding and we weren't just another client. Planning a wedding is hard and it truly causes so much stress to a relationship. Lia stepped in when we needed her and made it her mission to make sure James and I never felt overwhelmed. We can't thank her enough for everything she has done for us. From coming over to my house for 5+ hours to help with my stationary (multiple times) to quick phone calls pumping me up, Lia really was my angel through this 9 month process of planning my fairytale ending. I couldn't imagine having a wedding without Lia. Her attention to detail is like something I've never seen before. She gets the job done right the first time. Having Lia as our wedding planner really took all of the chaos and headaches away from planning everything and allowed James and I to relax and enjoy the process. You would be silly not to hire Lia, trust me. I couldn't be any happier than I was the day I said "I do." Lia made my dreams come true, and I know she can do the same for you.
-Kayla & James Wickman
I do not know what we would have done without Lia. I had absolutely no idea how overwhelming the whole wedding planning process was until I was actually in it. About three months into planning I decided to reach out to Lia and since then she has been 100% there for us… from the very first consultation to even our big day! Her attention to detail, organization, and management made our planning timeline go as smooth as possible. Lia was there for every meltdown before the meltdown even started, she was checking things off the list before they were even on my radar and she stayed on top of every little detail before anything had the chance to slip through the cracks. On top of all of that, I became so ill the week of our wedding and was not able to get out of bed and Lia literally took care of everything from then on. Because of her, I woke up on the wedding day feeling calm, relaxed, and was actually able to enjoy the day. I am SO incredibly grateful for her. Honestly, there are not enough great things to say about her. I would highly recommend anyone planning a wedding to go to Lia!!! You would not regret it!!!
-Sarena & Edmond Kadadu
I don't even know where to begin! Hiring Lia was by far the best decision we made about the wedding. I was so nervous about how everything was going to look with out me doing it, since I am a control freak... our wedding day was beyond perfect. It was so beautiful. Lia did an amazing job at making my visions come to life. She will help you every step of the way and answer any silly little question that may come to your mind. Thank you so much Lia for our perfect wedding day!
-Jessie & Nick Morelli
I am not quite sure what we would have done without Lia during our wedding process. She made the process so much more enjoyable for us. When I started planning I had no idea where to start. Lia was so organized. She planned out each month leading up to the wedding. She had a timeline and everything mapped out perfectly. Lia listened to all of my visions and made them come to life. This took so much stress away from me. She was in constant contact with each of the our vendors. The day of the wedding was perfect. She had a very detailed timeline of the day ensuring the day went very smoothly so we could enjoy our day. I am so thankful we had Lia! There was no way we could have done it without her!
-Sabrina & Jason Celia
Lia was our coordinator for our wedding and she was nothing short of amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure everything that day was perfect! She thought of every small detail I would've otherwise forgotten, planning is not my thing and she filled in every gap I was missing, it was so nice to have her available to ask her anything I wasn't sure about. I completely trusted her the day of to capture the look I was going for and for good reason, because everything turned out beautiful! She was able to coordinate a timeline with all of my vendors so everyone knew what time to be at the venue and what was going where! It was so nice to not have to stress about a single thing on my wedding and just enjoy the day getting ready with my bridal party! So thankful for her! Thank you Lia!
- Cayla & Brandon Rainford

Teapot of Flowers
I hope you've enjoyed the weekend.
Yesterday I carried on playing with the Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies and I thought about using the teapot as a vase.
I started by choosing a design from the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP) Stack .
My thoughts were that I'd die cut the teapot in the DSP and stamp the flowers in the same colour.
The design I chose is the 1" strip that goes along the bottom of the card, which meant my flowers would be Calypso Coral (see second card).
Once I'd die cut the teapot I decided the pattern of the DSP would conflict with the flowers, stems and leaves.
When I'd finished the card, I wondered if it would look better with smaller flowers, so I made the Pool Party card.
The process to make these two cards was the same with the exception of the flowers and the DSP.
I'll explain how I made the card but when there are differences between the two, I'll give the Pool Party card details first and the Calypso Coral card details will be in brackets immediately after.
I started with a card base of Shimmery White Cardstock with a layer of Pool Party (Old Olive) and a top layer of Shimmery White - all adhered together using Tombow.
I cut a one inch strip of Birthday Bouquet DSP (Pretty Petals DSP Stock) and glued it to the bottom of the card front.
I die cut a teapot using the Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies in Shimmery White Cardstock.
I used the Fringe Scissors to cut some strands of Mossy Meadow (Old Olive Cardstock) and cut the strips in half length-ways so I had five stems.
I also punched out 5 branches from the Bird Builder Punch.
I placed the teapot where I wanted it to go and drew very lightly around it using a pencil.
Using this as a guide, I adhered the five stems at varying heights and did the same with the branches.
When I'd finishing positioning all the stems and branches I erased the pencil marks.
I stamped the flowers from Pictogram Punches (Petite Petals) Stamp Set using Pool Party (Calypso Coral) Ink on Shimmery White Cardstock.
I punched them out using the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack (Petite Petals Punch) and adhered them in position using Tombow.
I finished off with pearls in the centres.
I stamped the sentiment using Mossy Meadow (Old Olive) Ink with the sentiment from the Sky Is The Limit (Picture Perfect) Stamp Set.
I adhered the teapot and lid to the card using Dimensionals.
I've decided I like both the small and larger flowers.
Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

Victor Hugo's Novel Art
Victor Hugo, who wrote the famous, often-adapted novels "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame," called his visual artworks "random pen strokes thrown more or less maladroitly on paper by a man who has other things to do." But the author drew some 3,000 mostly ink-on-paper pieces, many dark and experimental.
A forthcoming auction of 500 artworks and objects from the family's cache shows how Hugo's artwork influenced his descendants. The items are expected to fetch some $1.3 million when they hit the block Wednesday at the Christie's salesroom in Paris.
Hugo (1802-85) sketched frequently during his travels and his exile from France from 1851 to 1870, when he lived in Brussels and the English Channel Islands. The author drew on cards: One 5-by-8-inch example from 1855, included in the sale, pictures an eerie plume of smoke creeping toward a small rendering of a landscape painting that's propped up on a shelf of sinewy, birch-like letters. They read: "VICTOROGUH." The piece is expected to sell for between $67,000 and $110,000.
"His work got more and more imaginative and fantastical during his exile," says Hugo scholar Marva A. Barnett, a professor at the University of Virginia and editor of "Victor Hugo on Things That Matter: A Reader," published in 2009. "He experimented in ways that a lot of people at the time weren't. He painted with coffee. He would soak a piece of lace in ink and press it on the paper to get that pattern." Then Hugo would add eyes to make the imprints look like skulls.
The sale includes works of Hugo descendants as well. His great-grandson Jean was a painter active in 1920s-era Surrealist circles in Paris. Ms. Barnett says that Jean introduced Hugo's then-little-known ink drawings to the likes of Surrealist masters Jean Cocteau and André Breton. Jean Hugo's own Surrealist-inflected paintings will be for sale at Christie's too. "The Metamorphoses" from 1929, is expected to fetch $40,000 to $66,000.

| Artist: Blind Faith and Envy
CD Title: The Charming Factor
Label: Nilaihah Records
Reviewer: Jeremy Eckhart
Date: 02/18/05
Tracklist: 01. Golden Glass 02. Crowded Room 03. Major Philosopher 04. Something Different 05. Slightest Wave 06. Texture 07. When I Know You're Gone 08. Shout 09. Stand Me Relentless 10. End Result 11. She's Left In Silence 12. Crowded Room [Blank Agoraphobia mix] 13. Crowded Room [Null Device Goa mix] 14. Major Philosopher [Neuroactive Hybrid mix]
"The Charming Factor" is giving unprecedented form and a fresh, new meaning to the genre of synth-pop with the release of the debut album from Nilaihah recording artists Blind Faith and Envy.
The album is comprised of eleven creatively written, intensely seductive tracks that showcase both the emotionally alluring and soulful vocals of Charlene April and the unshakable, multi-talented songwriting, engineering, and production skills possessed by Daniel Guenther in full force, and the result is an incredibly catchy and hauntingly beautiful album, and there is no doubt in my mind that this group and songs will have no trouble finding a home in any progressive club.
Full of impressive sequencing and incredibly clever programming, "The Charming Factor" provides the listener with an exceptionally fresh outlook into the often bland and erstaz world of pop music, where so many carbon copy bands do little more than produce the same album over and over. Blind Faith and Envy however, fall far from this catergory, and have found their niche by adding a modern twist to the open minded genre that influenced them to create music in the first place.
Tracks that stood out to me included the addictive and heavenly synths and lyrics of "Major Philosopher", the superior quality and sound structure of the instrumental track "Texture", the outstanding textural synths and vocals of "Stand Me Relentless", and the the highly affecting "End Result".
Special features of "The Charming Factor" contain three excellent bonus tracks remixed by Blank, Null Device, and Neuroactive. All three artists mold the already strong songs into entirely different compositions, and the result is spectacular. Topped off by an excellent cover of Depeche Mode's "Shout", Blind Faith and Envy have produced a phenomenal album that I definitely reccommend.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah officials say a doctor imprisoned for drugging his beauty queen wife and leaving her to die in a bathtub may have killed himself.
Authorities said in a statement Tuesday that they didn't find "any signs of foul play" in their preliminary investigation, so they're investigating Martin MacNeill's death as a suicide.
The 60-year-old MacNeill was found unresponsive Sunday morning near the greenhouse of the Olympus Facility at the Utah State Prison. Corrections officers tried to revive MacNeill, but he was declared dead at the facility.
MacNeill had been in prison since September 2014 after his conviction for first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Michelle.
No additional information has been given about how the incident happened. Officials say it may take up to 12 weeks to determine the cause of death.
