What we have is a debt bubble. The rising debt is the stimulus funding the rally on Wall Street. QE1, QE2, QE3, Operation Twist, bailouts, handouts, and now $85 billion injected into the system every month. Hmm, I wonder if there is a coincidence between enormous debt creation and 43 new highs in the Dow this year?
No, the stock market is not in a bubble. It is reacting normally to new injections of cash and buyers. The debt bubble, however, is a different matter. These things end badly, historically. Eventually, somebody has to pay the Piper.
The stock market is up, while the economy isn't. Since the stock market is supposed to reflect the economy, it looks a bit overvalued.
There is also a good reason for over-valuation: the cheap money policy by the Fed means that there is no money in bonds, so many investors have loaded up on stocks, which drives their price up.
The NASDAQ and Russell 2000 are in bubbles right now. Once the fed starts increasing its interest rate, the stock market will drop like a rock.
David Stockman, former director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Reagan, says America has become addicted to debt and that there's no way to avoid catastrophe.
David Stockman: I think everybody in this generation, and I'm the leading edge of the baby boom — I was born in 1946 — has benefited from a 30-year explosion of debt, which created temporary but unsustainable economic prosperity and a financialization of the system through lower, and lower, and lower interest rates that has created massive rewards to speculation but not real investments so I benefited from it. Almost everyone who has been in the market has benefited but they didn't earn it.
David Stockman: No. One of the things I say in my book is we need a wealth tax that on a one-time basis is going to take back at least some small fraction of the great windfall that the upper 1 percent, or 5 percent and pay down the government debt, pay back the federal debt because we can't put this on the next generation or they're going to be buried paying taxes.
David Stockman: I wouldn't do it. I think it's a very dangerous place to be at the present time. In fact, the stock market today is almost identical to where it was in October 2007 and then there was a $7 trillion crash and before that in March 2000. In other words, the stock market today is identical to where it was 13 years ago and we've had two massive crashes in between. The middle class has been invited to come and buy stocks and get sheared like so many sheep. They've done it twice and I certainly hope they're not lured into this again because it's not sustainable because our economy really is failing. Yes, in the short run it's recovered, or recreated jobs that existed in 2005. You know, the number of jobs today is the same as it was in 2005.
David Stockman: There was a massive bubble in Japan. Half the real estate value in the world in 1989 was in Japan. It crashed. Real estate in Japan has been declining ever since. It's one of the great deformations, malinvestments, that's ever occurred in world history. The stock market in Japan was half the world market and where has the Japan economy gone since the 1990s? Nowhere. They've been struggling for two decades in the aftermath of a massive bubble that's collapsed. They've tried to work their way out of it by printing even more money and it hasn't worked. Now, I'm saying this is what all the central banks are doing. There is no honest interest rate in the world today.
David Stockman: The problem is that you're creating a system of bubble finance where interest rates are so low that people can speculate. An asset value goes up. You put it up as collateral. You borrow against it. You buy more of the asset. You then take the rising asset. You borrow against it again. This is the nature of what's going on in the world. This isn't an excess of real savings. This is an excess of artificial credit that's being fueled by all the central banks.
David Stockman: Because, you're in a race to the bottom by all the central banks in the world that are expanding their balance sheets at rates that have never been seen before. This money is not leaving the financial markets. All of the liquidity the Fed has pumped in, this balance sheet has gone from $800 billion to $3.2 trillion in just a few years, all of that liquidity is just circulating through the canyons of Wall Street. A lot of it comes back as excess reserves in the banking system which gets deposited at the Fed. It doesn't go into credit on Main Street because Main Street is already saturated with debt. But, it does suppress interest rates and it makes gambling highly rewarding. When you put interest rates at zero, you'll buy anything that's going up and fund it with zero cost money. You will buy anything with a yield and fund it 98 percent, $0.98 on the dollar with zero cost money. So what this is, is a gambler's dream. The 1 percent are just laughing all the way to the bank.
David Stockman: I think we're so addicted to bubble finance at the Fed that they can't get out of the corner they painted themselves into. I think the Fed is making federal debt so cheap that Congress has no interest, Washington has no incentive to ever face up to our massive fiscal gap that is going to grow, and grow as we go forward in time and so we have a paralyzed system.
David Stockman: Well, a lot of people said in 1999, "Yeah, maybe there's a little bit of froth out there." But, you don't understand this time is different and then within three months, devastating collapse. Remember they called it the "Goldilocks Economy" in late 2007/2008? You had the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors saying, "No recession in sight anywhere," in June. Okay, so no one sees it coming until suddenly there is an event, a black swan, something unexpected or unpredicted that tells everybody that the emperor is naked. You know who is naked? The Fed. They're running a con game.

Economic Collapse and the Digitization Of All Trade By Brandon Smith Alt-Market
People need to understand the threat is at their doorstep. It's not a few years off or a decade away; it's here now. We are right in the middle of collapse.
The appearance of prosperity means nothing if the fundamentals do not support the optimism. That is to say, a bullish stock market, a high dollar index and a low unemployment percentage mean nothing if such stats are generated by false methods and fiat.
I relate these points because the future I am about to suggest here might sound outlandish to some, because it is so contrary to the "official" accounting of our current financial world.
The stock market, the greatest false indicator of all time, is on the verge of implosion; and the banking elites are positioning themselves to avoid blame for this implosion while the rest of us are being sold on the most elaborate recovery con-game ever conceived.
The globalists have stretched the whole of the world thin. They have removed almost every pillar of support from the edifice around us, and like a giant game of Jenga, are waiting for the final piece to be removed, causing the teetering structure to crumble. Once this calamity occurs, they will call it a random act of fate, or a mathematical inevitability of an overly complex system. They will say that they are not to blame. That we were in the midst of "recovery". That they could not have seen it coming.
Their solution will be predictable.
In our highly interdependent system in the West in which more than 80 percent of the population has been domesticated and is psychologically incapable of self-reliance, it is very likely that a disruption of normal supply chains and services would result in considerable poverty and death. Such a threat would invariably lead frightened and unprepared people to demand increased government controls so that they can return to the level of comfort they have grown accustomed to.
The elites will argue that the banks and bankers are not necessarily to blame. Rather, they will accuse the "system" of being too complex and chaotic, leaving itself open to greed, stupidity and overall unconscious sabotage. The fact that the crisis was engineered from the very beginning will never be mentioned.
The more independent elements within any system, the more chance there is for unpredictable events that lead to supposed disaster. Ostensibly, the solution would be to streamline all systems and remove the free-radicals. That is to say, complete centralization is the answer. What a surprise.
What this means on a micro-level is the activation of bail-ins; that is to say, the legalized confiscation of bank accounts, pension funds, stock holdings, etc. as a method for prolonging a collapse event. We have seen this already to some extent in Europe, and it will happen in the U.S..
While the initial scenario we face in America will be one of stagflation, many necessities and the means to produce those necessities will skyrocket in cost. There may not be inflation in every sector of the economy because imploding demand could offset some of the effects of falling currency value, but there will be extreme inflation in the areas that hurt common people most.
Digitization Of All Trade
Despite all the failings and control mechanisms involved in fiat money, there are still worse systems to be had. Last month more than 100 executives from the world's largest financial institutions met privately at the Times Square office of Nasdaq Inc. to discuss the future of money; more specifically a software apparatus called "Blockchain." The goal is to implement Blockchain as a medium to fully digitize monetary transactions around the world and in a way that is traceable and foolproof. In other words, the goal is put an end to all transactions involving physical cash.
The establishment of a cashless society would mark the end of all privacy in trade. Even supposedly anti-centralization digital currencies like Bitcoin are hindered by the blockchain feature, which requires the tracking of ALL transactions in order for the currency to function. While methods for anonymity could be argued, the fact of the matter is, digital currency by its very nature is a destroyer of the truly private trade offered by cash and barter. When all trade is tracked, and all savings digitized, whoever owns the keys to the core of the blockchain will have the power to wreak havoc on the life of any participant at will.
To be sure, the "blockchain" that the elites have in mind will never allow for anonymous transactions, because digital currency is not about anonymity or "convenience," it is about control.
Corrupt government is the tool by which globalists can extort goods and labor from a population as well as exert force to subdue rebellion. It is highly unlikely that the global reset will result in a collapse of government. On the contrary, it is usually during economic collapse that governments grow in power to the point of totalitarianism. There will always be a new currency mechanism or financial structure to replace the old, and the globalists will always have a way to pay off armies and useful idiots to do their bidding. No one should be counting on the idea that the elites face collapse as we face collapse. This is naive. The elites created the collapse; they plan to be ready to use it to their advantage.
Eventually, they will also have to limit or outlaw barter and alternative currencies in order for the digitized economy to work.
This is the age old strategy of Centralization; to remove all choices within a system, by force or manipulation, until the masses think they have nothing left but the choices the elites give them. It is the bread and butter of elitist institutions like Rand Corporation, and is at the core of the push for globalization.
With almost every major economy on the globe on the verge of collapse and most now desperately inflating, taxing, or outright stealing in order to hide their situation, with multiple tinderbox environments being facilitated in the Pacific with China, North Korea, and Japan, and in the Middle East and Africa with Egypt, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, Yemen, Mali, etc., there is no doubt that we are living in a linchpin-rich era. It is inevitable that one or more of these explosive tension points will erupt and cause a chain reaction around the planet. The linchpin and the chain reaction will become the focus of our epoch, rather than the men who made them possible in the first place.
Each major global hot-spot today can easily be linked back to the designs of international corporate and banking interests and the puppet governments they use as messengers.
Governments of America, Russia and China are actually complicit in the formation of a global currency and global government controlled by the IMF.
China in particular has loudly pronounced a need for a global currency system to replace the dollar, and they have suggested that this system be controlled by the IMF:
The world economic crisis shows the "inherent vulnerabilities and systemic risks in the existing international monetary system," Gov. Zhou Xiaochuan said in an essay released Monday by the bank. He recommended creating a currency made up of a basket of global currencies and controlled by the International Monetary Fund and said it would help "to achieve the objective of safeguarding global economic and financial stability."
China is NOT anti-establishment or anti-new world order, nor is Russia. American opposition to the NWO is a lie. Period. In fact, the BRICS have argued only for greater inclusion in the IMF system and have no intention of developing a legitimate alternative to "Western" globalization. If you do not understand that the BRICS are part of the NWO, not opposed to it, then you do not understand a thing. Continue reading: ActivistPost
How much does the US owe? By Christopher R Rice
The year was 1982 and America was the largest creditor nation on earth. By 2005, the U.S. was the largest debtor nation on earth. In 1980, the national debt had yet to eclipse the $1 trillion mark and had accumulated around $850 billion during the first 204 years of this republic.
By 2007 or 24 years later, our debt had risen to more than $7 trillion and continues straight up. Today, The U.S. government reports its debt at more than 19 trillion dollars, China alone purchases in excess of $1 billion per day of our debt. Japan owns billions and billions of U.S. debt instruments as do the Arabs and so on. But, these are reasonable countries and I believe that they would understand that we are broke and just forgive all of those billions; right after we gave them California and Yellowstone Park.
So far, I have been talking about funded debt. Unfunded debt is $205 trillion at current levels…and rising hourly. This is the figure that the CBO does not want the general public, meaning the financial media, to be aware of. This is the debt that we owe to ourselves in the way of Medicare, Social Security, government retirements and so on. In other words, promises that can't be kept and so they won't. As a reminder, the unfunded debt is greater than the total wealth of all American households. Many people want to blame one administration or another because that's easy. It isn't true, it's not any one administration, the system isn't broke, it's rigged.
AMERICAN'S are BEING ROBBED (and this has only been accelerated under Trump)
The U.S. was the largest creditor in the world. Now the debt is in the trillions of dollars. Trillions of dollars transferred from the worlds richest and most powerful country. This is a form of destructive economic management at a level of graft and corruption that has NO parallel. There's nothing comparable to that in history.
It's not the result of mysterious global forces, or technology, or China, or structural problems concerning the skills and education of our workforce. Rather, it is the direct result of policy choices made by Democrats and Republicans alike.
The bailouts resurrected high finance and the inequality it inevitably spawns. Instead of putting our foot back on the neck of finance, we're talking about slashing social programs. Rather than dramatically increasing taxes on the super-rich through a wealth tax, we're debating how to slash Social Security and Medicare benefits.
The U.S. policy (includes tax policy, financial deregulation, trade policy, anti-labor policy, and much more.) for the past 30 years has been aggressively dedicated to shifting income share away from the poor and middle class and into the pockets of the already rich.
During an era in which the rich were getting richer anyway, we deliberately set out to reduce their tax burdens so that they could become even richer.
• In 2010, the top hedge fund manager earned as much in one HOUR as the average (median) family earned in 47 YEARS.
• The top 25 hedge fund managers in 2010 earned as much as 658,000 entry level teachers.
• In 1970 the top 100 CEOs made $40 for every dollar earned by the average worker. By 2006, the CEOs received $1,723 for every worker dollar.
As Citizens for Tax Justice and USPIRG reported, 280 large and profitable corporations contributed $216 million to Congressional campaigns over four election cycles and got nearly a quarter of a trillion dollars in tax breaks.
That's a terrific investment for them – a return of more than a thousand to one – but it's a bad deal for the American people.
The official, or "statutory," corporate tax rate is 35 percent. But the actual rate paid by American corporations is only 12 percent, less than that paid by many middle-class Americans.
In fact, US Corporations pay less tax as a percentage of the GDP than corporations in Canada. Or Japan, South Korea, Norway, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Israel, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland, and Italy.
(Source: OECD StatsExtract interactive database.)
Tax breaks for Exxon Mobil: $4.1 billion between 2008 and 2010. The company paid no taxes at all in 2009.
In 2010, corporate giant GE made a profit of $14.2 billion but it paid not a penny in taxes because the bulk of those profits, some $9 billion, were offshore. In fact, GE got a $3.2 billion tax benefit.
The 10 most profitable U.S. companies paid an average federal tax rate of just 9 percent last year. The group includes heavyweights Exxon Mobil, Apple, Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase and General Electric.
Trump's tax cuts: massive cuts for the 1%
Trump's tax cuts will exacerbate America's already chronic income inequality. Trump's "tax reform" and deregulation do not benefit the public. They only benefit big companies that can afford high-priced lobbyists.
Contrary to the promised "peace dividend," the U.S. has maintained its military arsenal and used it to enforce its agenda with successive and intensifying military interventions–from the use of conventional troops in Iraq, to "humanitarian intervention" in Haiti, to Obama's drone wars in Central Asia.
Inequality in America grows more extreme each day. Even the great financial crash didn't derail this trend. The richest 400 Americans, for example, increased their wealth by 54 percent between 2005 and 2010, while the median middle-class family saw its wealth decline by 35 percent.
"The Trump tax plan is heavily, heavily, skewed to the most wealthy, who receive huge savings," said Lily Batchelder, a law professor and tax expert at New York University. "At the same time, millions of low-income families – particularly single-parent households – will see an increase."
32% of African American families will see a tax increase compared with 19% of whites, this is mostly due to African American families being more likely to share the burden of childcare within the family and hence not benefit as much from Trump childcare credits.
While the poor will see tax increases, the Tax Policy Center research said the rich will receive big tax cuts that get even bigger as you work up the income scale. The top 20% of earners receive an average annual tax cut of $16,660 compared with an overall average cut of $2,940.
The richest 1% collect 47% of all the tax cuts – an average saving of $214,000.
The tax savings of the super-rich will increase further in future, with the 0.1%'s estimated 2025 tax bill to fall by $1.5m.
"Listening to Trump's rhetoric, most Americans probably don't realize at all the impact of Trump's tax cuts," Matt Gardner, a senior fellow at the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) said. "Any way you slice it, the very best-off Americans will be the only beneficiaries.
Deficits are going much higher—and this time, there's no recession. In fact, the economy's in good shape. Still, the tax cuts signed by President Trump at the end of 2017, along with a big new boost in military and domestic spending, will send annual deficits soaring to close to $1 trillion in 2018, and probably beyond $1 trillion in 2019 and 2020.
Rising federal debt threatens to choke economic growth within a decade, beginning a death spiral that will sap revenue from government programs even as demands grow, forcing the government to borrow even more, Congress' budget watchdog said in a frightening report.
The CBO said federal debt is poised to rise to record levels when measured against the size of the U.S. economy, matching the amount accrued at the end of World War II. But the government quickly paid off that debt and entered decades of prosperity, whereas the current pace suggests unsustainable debt levels for the foreseeable future.
On a per capital basis, the national debt amounted to $19,948 per person in 2000, and $43,733 in 2010. By 2019, it will be around $68,000 per person.
We've allowed our country to be taken from us, for the benefit of the few and the total decimation of the vast many.
As things stand now, with federal taxes, state taxes, county tax, sales tax, property taxes, car tax, gas tax, phone taxes, etc. "They" take 4 months of our wages every year in taxes. For that kind of money we should have the best schools on the planet, right? But every year 30 to 50% of our kids get left behind. Let me repeat, taxes take 4 months of your wages away from you every year. That's true under Republicans or Democrats!
It really doesn't matter who wins in November because our government is no longer "of the people, for the people, by the people" and neither candidate plans to return our rights to us. Our rights were not won because some Congressmen or woman wrote them down in a law. Our rights were won by struggle. And we can only regain our rights and our country through struggle.
We can not vote ourselves out of this mess. Only militant, 24/7 wide-spread non-violent resistance can save liberty and freedom from the dystopia that Washington has created in order that a handful of mega-billionaires can enjoy lording over the planet.
Speak Truth to Power. Join the Fight. Spread the Word.

I think that about covers it for leaks. As I'm sure you're tired of hearing by now, consult your vehicle's service manual before you do any repairs. This can clue you into any important service procedures for your vehicle. Here's a video that might help you find the service manual for your vehicle.
As I said in the power steering section, you can use a piece of clean cardboard under your vehicle overnight to help identify the fluid that's leaking, as well as its source. Also, if you need to clean up a spill or leak, kitty litter does an excellent job. Just leave it on there for a day or so before you sweep it up so it can absorb the leaked fluid. You might even do a little dance on the kitty litter once you have it in place. This aids in the absorption of the leaked fluid. Just don't get too happy or you'll have a puddle of goo and a bunch of kitty litter everywhere to clean up. Otherwise, good luck finding and solving the leaks on your vehicle.

14 April (Part 1) - Another target missed
Today is the day Hadlow Road in Sidcup was supposed to be reopened - if you discount the fact that it was originally scheduled to open on the third of March. Anyone monitoring progress would know that there was no chance that Bexley council would relieve Sidcup High Street from its misery on time. My own forecast that the junction of Hadlow Road and Sidcup High Street would approach 50% completion by today looks to be remarkably accurate and the final photograph suggests that Bexley council has given up on the forecasting game. Meanwhile shoppers remain thin on the ground.
to personal circumstances the past week has seen me driving through Sidcup to Bromley
and back on a daily basis. Over the years I must have made that trip many hundreds of times
but before last Thursday I had never returned to the borough boundary at the A2
roundabout in the early afternoon and found it clogged by traffic queued all the
way to the Sidcup traffic lights half a mile away.
A quick glance up the High Street as I passed by revealed nothing exceptional. Bexley council mismanagement and incompetence and traffic chaos is the norm.
The omens for Sidcup were bad when councillor Cheryl Bacon illegally refused entry to any member of the public wishing to attend the public presentation on the scheme - and then, as everyone knows by now, issued a stream of lies in defence of her own misjudgment.
For the record the year long chaos inflicted on Welling appears to have come to an end.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10 for short) is a potent antioxidant that supports cardiovascular health and is absolutely essential for healthy mitochondrial function. The traditional form of CoQ10, ubiquinone, is difficult for your body to absorb — but the ubiquinol form, like that in Super Ubiquinol CoQ10 absorbs up to 8 times better!
Benefits at a Glance
- Supports cardiovascular health
- Promotes healthy energy production at the cellular level
- Absorbs up to 8 times better than ubiquinone CoQ10
- Provides powerful antioxidant support
CoQ10 and healthy mitochondria
CoQ10 is an essential component of healthy mitochondrial function. The mitochondria are the cell's energy powerhouses, and CoQ10 is required to convert the energy unlocked from fats and sugars into usable cellular energy.
Cardiovascular health and antioxidant defense
Because of this, CoQ10 is most highly concentrated in the cells of your body's "workhorse" organs — like your brain and your heart. But CoQ10 is also a potent antioxidant, protecting important proteins and mitochondrial DNA from oxidative damage. Unfortunately, CoQ10 levels naturally deplete over time.
Coenzyme Q10 depletion: natural and unnatural causes
CoQ10 levels in your body naturally decrease as we age. And so-called "statin" drugs used to lower cholesterol also deplete CoQ10 levels in the blood and possibly in tissue as well. Statin drugs have been shown to reduce plasma CoQ10 by nearly 40%. Alarmingly, the normal aging process may deplete CoQ10 levels even faster than the use of statin medications!
The aging process reduces CoQ10 levels in the heart muscle wall by 72%. The frightening result is that the dual effects of aging and using statin drugs simultaneously could result in a severe CoQ10 deficit, leading to seriously diminished cellular vitality in vital organs like your heart.
Superior availability of ubiquinol CoQ10
Remember, traditional ubiquinone forms of CoQ10 are notoriously difficult for your body to absorb.

"My Time Machine Is Burning. (Is There A Life After Capitalism?)"
curated by Elena Giulia Abbiaticci, Label 201, Roma (IT)
It had never happened before, in the history of the world, that such a high number of images, videos and audio tracks were made accessible to users of many parts of the globe in such a widespread and open way, triggering debates on rights, re-appropriation, thus authenticity, and data resistance at the time.
Downloading, sharing, reinstalling, remixing are the verbs that mark our days.
"What will it remain?" is a question that flows and recurs in our synapses in a continuous rhythm. File conservation is a complex topic, discussed in appropriate museum locations, accompanied by testing longer-lasting supports and / or by altering other ones by providing satisfactory documentation. And if the loss will not be a problem? The amnesia that the brain produces of much information is a proven fact – maybe accepted – from neuroscientific sources that see in the hyperbola frenzy an impossibility to settle too many data in the area of memory – the hippocampus.
If we reflect, in the course of history, only the most powerful images and facts have remained: the ones which can pierce the airbag of time. Our imagination has assimilated and preserved them, just as the "iconographic heritage" of blogs, magazines, video games, movies … and assembles it in a productive way and reinterprets it with the tools it has.
It happens that the control of the artist on his/her work is delegated to the control of a mechanical arm. Do we perhaps live in a society in which our imagination, and therefore representation, is not filtered by algorithms, obscure but decisive for us?
These are the questions investigated by the pictorial and sculptural works of Marco Mendeni, who uses numerical control machines, software such as Google Deep Dream and DayZ virtual adventures to reprocess images that can measure mental mash-ups that ferry the artistic representation.
It results in oil canvas that circle the space of time in a stylistic matrix between the primitive essence of the stroke and the dreamlike and arabeggish transcendence of the forms of Google Deep Dream. The incisive and glowing sign of the machine did the rest.
While on the one hand we rejoice, finally, the relativization of man as a center and criteria of measure and action on the world, how much the perfection of man for machine make us perplexed and not vice versa?
Label201 presents Marco Mendeni – winner TINA PRIZE 2016 between Rome, Chicago, Mexico City – with an exhibition of unpublished works produced for the occasion by the artist and a live performance Lag_0.Dream at 9 pm. Lag_0.Dream is the result of a selection process, reconfiguration and transformation of some digital entertainment products. By dismanteling their essential dynamics and changing their work code, it wants to stimulate a more careful observation, against a often superficial and banally harmful use, part of a sort of collective unconsciousness. The performance of about 30 minutes will be a real-time remix of media products, seeking in the depth of code, improvisation and unpredictability its meaning.
The exhibition is part of the DIGITAL PRIMITIVES: NEURONS ON THE CLOUD. The computational artistic imagination, founded in 2015 and carried on through a series of shows, between Cairo and Berlin – at this time – by Elena Giulia Abbiatici.
The inauguration of the show on Saturday, May 6, coincides with the Open Studios event at Open House Rome, during which the Portuense201 districts open their doors to the public with a series of events and installations involving video, art , architecture and design studios.
The exhibition is in parthership with Fondazione Mondo Digitale e T.I.N.A Prize.

DE ORACULIS NOVIS, Curated by Arianna Grava, Area35 Gallery, Milano, Italy
_ texts of; Elena Giulia Abbiatici, Matteo Bittanti, Valentino Catricalà, Federica Patti.
Researching on the basis of the rappresentation of aesthetic values of the new medias , Mendeni invites us to consider the deep consequences of modern technology. With De Oraculis Novis the artist creates a multilayered project with multiple levels of perception, defining the human context, albeit the simulated one, through the movie-like video screen , the ultimate immersion in the virtual reality and finally using the oil painting technique. It is therefore the presence of these great paintings with lines, colors and lights taken from the generated virtual landscapes that testify the undergoing overlapping of reality and simulation both in the landscape of man and within man himself. The project stems from Mendeni's short video "r_lightTweakSunlight" originated from the hectic behavior of a game software riddled with bugs that gave birth to suggestive landscapes and the subsequent explorative documentation of the computer generated world.

GAME VIDEO/ART. A SURVEY, XX1T Triennale International Exhibition, IULM space, curated by Vincenzo Trione and Matteo Bittanti, Milan, Italy
Ranging from institutional critique to new media production, Game/Video Art. A Survey emphasizes the visual nature of digital gaming and its potential for creative expression, rather than mere escapism.
On the occasion of the XXI Triennale di Milano International Exposition, IULM University houses the exhibition named Game Video/Art. A Survey.
Game Video/Art. A Survey is the most comprehensive, eclectic, and diverse exhibition on machinima ever staged in Italy.
Featuring recent (2007-2015) works from a variety of world-renown artists, the show explores themes pertaining to simulation and representation, fiction and nonfiction, replay and re-enactment, architecture and urbanism, sex and race, gender and politics, war and terrorism through the lenses of videogame-made videos, also known as machinima.
By bringing together experimental filmmaking, performance art, video art, and gaming technologies (including virtual reality), Game Video/Art. A Survey invites the viewer to experience an artistic landscape in flux, one in which notions of media specificity and media convergence are simultaneously confirmed and rejected. The curators suggest that machinima is both a b lending of mediums/technologies and a truly innovative form.
The title itself is a pun on the word video game: by inverting the terms "video" and "game", the curators hint at the playful nature of this peculiar form of visual art originating from digital games. Although a recent development in art history, machinima allows for a unique and differentiated experience from non-interactive visual media such as painting and sculpture. Its durational nature requires a longer commitment of time on the viewer's part to render an aesthetic judgment. Machinima is, by definition, derivative and recombinant, suggesting a blurring of boundaries b etween content consumer and creator.
And yet, the ingenuity of the machinima makers and their inventive processes are often astounding. The works on display are truly multimedia in their deliberate appropriation of different audiovisual languages – from cinema to television, from music videos to internet aesthetics, from animation to puppetry. Machinima's reliance on repeated patterns and source material construct haunting, dreamlike hallucinations which evoke uncanny situations, dark fantasies and crude dystopias. These video works explore ideas of imagined memories, failed futures, and alternative realities.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (September 16, 2015) –
The American flag being raised above the U.S. Embassy in Cuba for the first time in 54 years signaled the restoration of diplomatic relations between the two countries and drew a strong response from many within South Florida. To provide an opportunity for community and civic engagement on this important topic, Broward College, in partnership with the Village Square, is bringing together several community leaders for the first "Dinner at the Square" event of the second season. "South Florida on Cuba: We Can Cross the Strait but Can We Bridge the Gap of Distrust?" will be held Wednesday, Oct. 14, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Tower Club, 100 SE 3rd Ave., One Financial Plaza, Regions Bank Bldg., 28th Floor, Fort Lauderdale. Registration starts at $35, then goes to $45 on Friday, Oct. 9.
"We are excited to be able to partner with Village Square for another year and create this type of platform for civic engagement in Broward County, allowing the community to come together to examine key political issues facing our state and country," said Broward College President J. David Armstrong, Jr. "With the renewed diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba, now is the perfect time to discuss a topic that greatly affects so many in South Florida."
Speakers for the event include Thomas Wenski, Archbishop of Miami, Roman Catholic Church; Michael Putney, senior political television reporter and columnist, and Marili Cancio, attorney at Cancio Johnson Attorneys at Law.
Sponsors for the event include Cartaya & Associates, Women of Color Empowerment Institute, Young Republicans of Broward County, City Furniture and The Related Group.
The Village Square is a non-partisan public educational forum, founded in 2006 when Allan Katz, former-Tallahassee city commissioner, and his friend Bill Law, president of Tallahassee Community College, were on opposing sides of a divisive local issue. In their disagreement, they decided to create a shared civic space for conversations for people with different viewpoints to discuss matters of local, state and national importance.
All events are planned by
the advisory board members, a group of community leaders, including city and county commissioners, educators, business owners, and religion and non-profit leaders from across Broward County, representing all political affiliations.

BACKGROUND: Body composition refers to the constituent of the body, namely, lean mass, fat mass, and water. It serves as a great diagnostic value and a sensitive indicator of an individual's health and nutritional status. AIM: The aim of the study is to determine the age-related difference in anthropometric and body composition parameters in indigenes of Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 1200 participants, 578 males and 622 females, between ages of 7–60 years were selected randomly to participate in the study. The participants were divided into three age groups based on their ages; children (7–12 years), adolescents (13–17 years), and adults (18–60 years). Weight, height, body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, abdominal circumference, upper arm circumference, % body fat, triceps and iliac skinfold thicknesses were measured in all participants. RESULTS: All the anthropometric parameters measured increased significantly across the three age groups and in both males and females across the three age groups. Some of the anthropometric parameters showed significant difference in both sexes in the children, adolescents and adults age group. Percentage body fat also increases across the three age groups and in both sexes in each age group. All the parameters were significantly higher in the females than in the males. CONCLUSION: Age and gender brings about significant differences in anthropometric and body composition parameters in individuals.
Keywords: Anthropometry, body circumference, body composition, lean and fat mass body mass index, skinfold thickness

You Can't Choose Your Family, But You Can Choose Rivera Nayarit
Pack up the kids and prepare for a memorable yet relaxing family vacation in Riviera Nayarit. Mexico's Pacific Treasure offers families a plethora of activities ranging from zip lining through the lush forests, snorkeling with a school of colorful fish, experiencing and learning about authentic Mexican culture and learning to surf. Accommodations designed specifically for families add to the vacation fun with kids' clubs, character breakfasts, multi-room suites and high-tech game rooms.
Water Activities
From families with trendy teenagers to adventurous kiddos, Riviera Nayarit offers activities and excursions to bring every itinerary to life. Nearly 200-miles of pristine beaches provide a wide selection of water-based activities from scuba diving and swimming with dolphins to kayaking and sailing. Families can even take surf lessons or simply build a sandcastle and relax together on the beach. Fun fact – Riviera Nayarit is home to Mexico's longest beach, Playa Novillero.
Sayulita, the internally recognized beach town, offers families fun activities such as jungle hikes, nature walks, bicycle rentals, boogie boarding and even Spanish classes. Sayulita is renowned for its surfing conditions and there are several beachside surf schools and shops. The latest water sport craze emerging in Sayulita is Stand Up Paddle Boarding. The town's restaurants welcome guests of all ages – kids will especially love the tasty chocolate dipped bananas at ChocoBanana or a fresh smoothie with fruits and veggies at Orangy Smoothies. Sayulita also offers an introduction to Riviera Nayarit's indigenous Huichol people as they showcase their art in the main plaza and in various shops throughout the town – take home some colorful beaded animals, embroidered pictures and jewelry.
Located only a short boat ride away from the coastline families can visit Las Marietas, a protected sanctuary on a cluster of islands formed by volcanic activity. Adventurous travelers will discover a narrow (yet safe!) tunnel that they can swim under to gain entry into the famous Hidden Beach, a private cove perfect for snorkeling. In the months of mid-December to early April, massive Humpback Whales migrate to the Bay of Banderas with their young. A visit to Las Marietas during these months is almost guaranteed to yield up close and personal encounters with families of Humpbacks as they play in the warm waters of the bay, launching out of the water and producing massive splashes when they land. Families can find exclusive tours by booking a trip with Vallarta Adventures and Punta Mita Expeditions.
Cultural Excursions
Tawexikta Lugar Del Sol (The Place of the Sun) is home to the indigenous Huichol tribe. This special region is only accessible by small boats called "panga", but visitors have the opportunity to experience the Huichol's vibrant dress, compelling ritual dances and colorful hand-made beaded masks and jewelry.
Los Toriles is one of two archeological sites in Nayarit open to the public. Dating from 300-600 BC, it has over 85 buildings of which only a few that are excavated. Visitors will see four wide plazas and several palaces, and can explore shaft tombs and temples, including one of the only round temples in Mexico.
As you explore the streets of San Blas you will relive the events of years past that have marked the history not only of the state of Nayarit but of the entire country of Mexico. The warmth of the local people combined with the sites of historic town and its fort from days of the Conquistadors, and the colorful original native Indians who still populate the region today, provide ample opportunities for education and sampling cultural arts, crafts and treasures that will long be remembered. Families can walk around the town square, visit the colonial church just across the street, and explore the Spanish fortress with a panoramic view of the town.
Adventure Opportunities
Families seeking adventure can opt for a jeep safari in the Sierra Madre Mountains with Vallarta Adventures. Specially designed Mercedes-Benz all-terrain vehicles take passengers through historic towns with stops to interact with the locals, winding through amazing scenery, fruit orchards and culminating in a fact-filled hike through the region's forests to learn about the area's rich vegetation and wildlife, such as the native jaguar.
Children and parents can fly through the trees with a zip line excursion with Rancho Mi Chaparrita on a network of 13 cables and three suspension bridge traveling a total distance of more than one mile and reaching heights of 410 feet above sea level.
Take a break from the beach with MexiTreks for a fun and educational hike from San Pancho to Sayulita suitable for beginning hikers of all ages. The hike will follow a mellow trail through the local forest where a designated naturalist guide will identify the flora and fauna. Along the hike you will see captivating vista views of Sayulita and explore the secluded beach of Malpaso. Enjoy peering at insects through magnifying lenses and observing birds and butterflies playing overhead, all while surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of the forest.
Wildlife Experiences
According to the World Wildlife Fund, La Tovara National Park and mangrove eco-region in San Blas is "one of the most important winter habitats for birds in the Pacific, home to 80% of the Pacific migratory shore bird populations." A paradise for bird enthusiasts, this ecoregion has the highest concentration of migratory birds and features over 250 species of birds, including the black-bellied tree duck, great blue heron, roseate spoonbill, and endemic birds, including the bumblebee hummingbird and the Mexican woodnymph. Take a small motorboat to ceruise through the mangroves to see the birds, crocodiles and turtles that live in the park.
Riviera Nayarit is home to a volunteer community devoted to their sea turtle release program that plants sea turtle nests on the beach for a safe hatching environment. When the baby sea turtles hatch and climb through the sand they automatically make their way to the ocean. When the volunteers think that one of nests may hatch, they place a ring around the nest area to contain the hatchlings. They then place them in a shady box until sunset when they will be safely released by volunteers and spectators. This program educates Mexican children and spectators about the negative effects of polluting and marine health. Trained volunteers patrol the beaches and relocate nests as necessary throughout the night.
Family Friendly Accommodations
Children of all ages will enjoy daily scheduled activities at Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort & Spa. Family time comes easy with Play at Palladium with Raggs programming built around the Emmy award-winning television show about a group of colorful singing dogs. Families can dine on Raggs-shaped veggies and other sculpted foods during a fun Raggs-themed breakfast, or enjoy the lively 50-minute Raggs Pirate Show, a live show spectacular. The hotel's age-tiered kids' club provides entertainment for children through the ages of 17 at the Baby Club (ages one to three), the Mini Club (ages four to 12) and the Black and White Junior Club (ages 13 to 17). Parents can enjoy some much needed alone time relaxing by the pool or indulging their senses at the Spa & Wellness Center while their children participate in arts and crafts, make new friends at the indoor and outdoor game areas, frolic at the new kids' Splash Pool and Waterpark, watch kid-friendly movies at the cinema or take a tour along the resort's eco-walks and zoo to learn about the region's flora and fauna.
Nestled between the Sierra Madre Mountains and the seemingly endless Pacific Ocean, the Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita is a great accommodation choice for families. Children are welcomed to the property with a cold glass of milk and tasty cookies. The youngest travelers will enjoy colorful alphabet bath sponges while teens take charge of family movie night using the hotel's assorted DVD collection. Parents can rest easy with items to childproof their guest room, a complimentary baby care basket with sun cream and body cleansing gel and healthy snacks such as local fruits and pretzels served throughout the day.

Action-Packed CBT: More Walk Less Talk | Vancouver Nov 8-9
Christine A. Padesky, Ph.D.
presented by
Cognitive Workshops
Is talking the best way to promote change and growth? We don't tell toddlers how to walk or ask them how they feel about walking. We encourage and support trial and error experience. How often do you leave a workshop feeling inspired but unsure how to do anything different in your next session? We know from educational research that lasting learning and change are more likely to result from active experience and doing than from book knowledge alone. If we apply this idea to psychotherapy, we need to consider that talk therapy by itself is not always best therapy. The phrase, "action-packed CBT" describes a therapeutic approach that combines talk with active learning experiences embedded into each session. It is designed to make therapy more effective and to promote faster client change.
Similarly, this is an action-packed workshop. Christine A. Padesky, PhD demonstrates a variety of action methods that can enhance CBT and other forms of psychotherapy. Like her other "Show Me" workshops, she structures her teaching around clinical demonstrations rather than lectures. For each segment of the workshop, she demonstrates particular methods so participating therapists can see exactly how Padesky conducts "action-packed" CBT. The Structured exercises that follow help therapists learn through experience how to implement action-oriented approaches.
Thus, "More walk and less talk." Even so, there is ample time for questions, answers, and discussion to promote a more complete understanding of how to apply these approaches with diverse clients in a variety of settings.Action methods demonstrated in this workshop include: interactive writing/drawing, imagery, role playing, and behavioural experiments both in and outside the office to test out beliefs or to try new behaviours. A brainstorming section in the afternoon of the second day helps therapists discover how a variety of creative methods can be derived from these basic actions. Padesky guides workshop participants to develop a model over the course of the two days to help decide when to employ action approaches, when listening and talk are the best interventions, and what types of action are best suited to particular therapy purposes and goals.
Workshop Objectives:
• Describe two benefits of action-packed therapy
• Recognize action opportunities within clinical interchanges
• Plan three actions appropriate to use with current clients
• Name two action methods that foster client engagement
• Demonstrate one action approach that is likely to enhance learning
• Identify two action methods that help promote change
• Devise in and out of office behavioral experiments
• Experience uses of writing for increasing client engagement
• Link imagery with in vivo change efforts

WABC-TV, New York, New York reported on March 30, 2011 in "Bloomberg warns of tax scams" that during tax time, when taxpayers are in a hurry to meet deadlines, scam artists are out with operations that violate consumer protection laws, scam phone calls and fax requests, and scam emails and websites that offer services to phish taxpayers for personal and financial data.
A taxpayer needs to be on the look out for tax preparers who misrepresent qualifications and illegally advertising refund anticipation loans. The loans may come with high interest not disclosed to the borrower.
A taxpayer may receive a popup to a website that says the person has received a prize like a new iPad if s/he enters a real name and phone number. A site may give something in return for participating in an IRS survey. The site tricks the person into entering the information because it says if the person does not enter real information, s/he may not get the prize.
A New York taxpayer may get a phishing email that promises a refund, or requests the taxpayer to file an additional form. The email links to a form that requests detailed personal and/or financial information, such as name, SSN, bank or credit card account numbers or security-related information, such as mother's maiden name. The email may threaten a consequence for not responding to the e-mail, such as additional taxes or blocking access to the recipient's funds. The IRS does not require people to fill out additional forms. A taxpayer should research the necessary forms to file. Most scam emails have grammar errors, or gets the IRS website wrong. Forward scam tax emails to [email protected]. If a taxpayer files online, make sure to get anti-virus software, anti-spyware products, and delete cookies after filing.
A NY taxpayer could receive a confirmation phone call from someone claiming to be an IRS representative who needs to verify personal and banking information before releasing a tax refund. The IRS never calls taxpayers or sends emails. The IRS sends communications in the postal mail.
A few tax scams have been reported asking people to fax information back. The IRS never does this. When filing documents hardcopy, send them in the postal mail, and shred any drafts. When using tax software and saving financial data on the computer, make sure access is password protected.
Consult an experienced New York tax attorney for advice on tax preparation.
