Healthcare startups have a rough go of it. They don't generate the buzz and excitement of a new private photo-sharing app or a virtual pinboard for moms, and they're taking on one of the most tangled, frustrating, illogical industries around. The premise of Startup Health is to support healthcare companies by putting them in a class with their peers and then providing them with resources and advice as needed.
Right now, Startup Health's mentoring program, or "academy," has no campus and no roster of splashy name mentors. But ideally, the program will encourage innovation and growth and give the entrepreneurs moral support.
Startup Health is building a campus in New York City, but the ten companies in the program starting March 26 will be phoning it in for a while. "The peer-groups meet once per month as a group virtually and then in person once per quarter in NYC for a in depth workshop and customer and investor demo days," cofounder Unity Stoakes said in an email. "This is not an Accelerator or Incubator model where people move somewhere for 12 weeks to launch an idea. We are helping support the business through years of growth (which is required in Health Care)."
Startup Health just announced its first class of companies yesterday. According to a press release, they're all "highly accomplished and are operating companies at various stages of the growth lifecycle" and all have received funding or are generating revenue. They are evenly split between the East and West Coasts. Startup Health plans to run four such classes throughout the year.
Mr. Stoakes believes New York is becoming a health tech hub. "With BluePrint Health and Health 2.0 now in the city too there is significant collaboration and momentum going on. Many companies that we once based in Boston or West Coast are coming to NYC now," he said. (Health 2.0, based in San Francisco, just opened a New York office.) He also noted that the Bloomberg administration has been very supportive of healthcare tech companies. "All these forces are working together and at the same time," he said. "We are working hard to bring the entire ecosystem together so we can innovate faster."

Earth's Future At Risk As Great Apes Face Extinction
Four out of six great apes one step away from extinction – IUCN Red List
Today's IUCN Red List update also reports the decline of the Plains Zebra due to illegal hunting, and the growing extinction threat to Hawaiian plants posed by invasive species. Thirty eight of the 415 endemic Hawaiian plant species assessed for this update are listed as Extinct and four other species have been listed as Extinct in the Wild, meaning they only occur in cultivation.
The IUCN Red List now includes 82,954 species of which 23,928 are threatened with extinction.
Mammals threatened by illegal hunting
The Eastern Gorilla (Gorilla beringei) – which is made up of two subspecies - has moved from Endangered to Critically Endangered due to a devastating population decline of more than 70% in 20 years. Its population is now estimated to be fewer than 5,000. Grauer's Gorilla (G. b. graueri), one subspecies of Eastern Gorilla – has lost 77% of its population since 1994, declining from 16,900 individuals to just 3,800 in 2015.
Realty Check: The Whole Economic System Is On Welfare
Central Banks = Welfare for the Wealthy
Central banks can only do one thing, and that's provide monetary welfare for the wealthy.
The fact that central banks provide welfare for the wealthy is now entering the mainstream. The fact that all central bank policies since 2008 have dramatically increased wealth and income inequality is now grudgingly being accepted as reality by mainstream economists and the financial media.
The central banks' PR facade of noble omniscience on behalf of the great unwashed masses has cracked wide open. Even The Wall Street Journal is publishing critiques of Federal Reserve policies that suggest the Fed has no idea how the U.S. economy actually works because their policies have failed to help the bottom 95%.

Suncor Energy Inc., SU -0.58 % Canada's largest oil producer, is in talks with government officials for permission to "strand," or abandon, some high cost and greenhouse gas-intensive crude-oil deposits, the company's chief executive said Wednesday. The Calgary-based company is seeking an easing of rules designed to maximize oil-sands production from leases on government land, CEO Steve Williams said at a Barclays BCS -0.66 % energy conference in New York, reiterating a strategy he first announced in July. "We've begun to have conversations with the government of Alberta and the current regulators about the design of their policy, which actually requires the maximum amount of resource to be extracted regardless of the economic or environmental value," he said. The request comes as Suncor and other oil producers struggle to cut costs...

Top Global Bonds Manager Positioning For Higher Rates
Unusual move sees manager Richard Woolnough protect £15 billion M&G Optimal Income fund from high bond prices and rising inflation.
Woolnough moves to 'negative duration' on UK bonds
The country's leading bond manager, Richard Woolnough, has moved to 'negative duration' on UK debt for the first time in response to the rising threat of inflation and the surge in bond prices since the EU referendum.
Expressed in years, duration is the measure used to show a bond fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes.
The current overall duration for Woolnough's 15 Billion M&G Optimal Income fund is currently at a low 2.6 years, reflecting the view that interest rates in the developed world are expected to slowly rise following the first increase in US rates at the end of last year.
Rigged Stock Markets Won't Signal Economic Collapse
These are the signs of an economic collapse
What does the beginning of an economic collapse look like?
Do you see grocery stores closing? Do you see other retailers, like clothing stores and department stores, going out of business?

Are you making as much money annually as you did 10 years ago?
Future Grid Electricity Cannot Rely On Intermittent Renewables
Many people are hoping for wind and solar PV to transform grid electricity in a favorable way. Is this really possible? Is it really feasible for intermittent renewables to generate a large share of grid electricity? The answer increasingly looks as if it is, "No, the costs are too great, and the return on investment would be way too low." We are already encountering major grid problems, even with low penetrations of intermittent renewable electricity: US, 5.4% of 2015 electricity consumption; China, 3.9%; Germany, 19.5%; Australia, 6.6%.
In fact, I have come to the rather astounding conclusion that even if wind turbines and solar PV could be built at zero cost, it would not make sense to continue to add them to the electric grid in the absence of very much better and cheaper electricity storage than we have today. There are too many costs outside building the devices themselves. It is these secondary costs that are problematic. Also, the presence of intermittent electricity disrupts competitive prices, leading to electricity prices that are far too low for other electricity providers, including those providing electricity using nuclear or natural gas. The tiny contribution of wind and solar to grid electricity cannot make up for the loss of more traditional electricity sources due to low prices.

For the first time in more than three weeks, President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner met face-to-face today at the White House to talk about avoiding the fiscal cliff.
White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest would offer no details saying only, "The lines of communication remain open."
Erskine Bowles, the co-creator of a debt reducing plan, who was pessimistic a couple weeks ago, said he likes what he's hearing.
"Any time you have two guys in there tangoing, you have a chance to get it done," Bowles said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
The White House afternoon talks, conducted without cameras or any announcement until they were over, came as some Republicans were showing more flexibility about approving higher tax rates for the wealthy, one of the president's demands to keep the country from the so-called fiscal cliff -- a mixture of across-the-board tax increases and spending cuts that many economists say would send the country back into recession.

Fiscal Cliff Battle: President Obama vs. Speaker John Boehner Watch Video
"Let's face it. He does have the upper hand on taxes. You have to pass something to keep it from happening," Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee said on "FOX News Sunday."
This comes after the White House moderated one of its demands about tax rate increases for the wealthy.
The administration was demanding the rate return to its former level of 39.6 percent on income above $250,000. The so-called Bush tax cut set that rate at 35 percent. But Friday, Vice President Joe Biden signaled that rate could be negotiable, somewhere between the two.
"So will I accept a tax increase as a part of a deal to actually solve our problems? Yes," said Oklahoma Republican Tom Coburn on ABC's "This Week."
The problems the senator was referring to are the country's entitlement programs. And there was some progress on that front, too.
A leading Democrat said means testing for Medicare recipients could be a way to cut costs to the government health insurance program. Those who make more money would be required to pay more for Medicare.
"I do believe there should be means testing, and those of us with higher income and retirement should pay more. That could be part of the solution," Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
But Durbin said he would not favor raising the eligibility age from 65 years old to 67 years old, as many Republicans have suggested.
The White House and the speaker's office released the exact same statement about the negotiating session. Some will see that as a sign of progress, that neither side is talking about what was said behind closed doors.

mazel tov, kate! that's super duper news :)
(Oh, but poor Paul Newman!!!)
Go Kate and Marianne! I just bought 4 on Amazon (spreading body love on a budget) and your sales rank went from low 3000s to 2,500.
That's awesome! I just ordered two copies of it. One for me and one for a dear friend who needs to hear this message.
*feels smug that she bought at Powell's so she could be in the first #1 list the book will be on*
BTW, Kate, I tagged it "diet book" on Amazon, hoping it might sneak into some searches from women who need to hear this message. I can change that if it's not OK.
Congratulations :)
I ordered my copy and I can't wait until it gets here :-D
OMG, that's great! I ordered my copy this morning. Yes, from Powells. I can't wait to get it. Congratulations.
*resumes lurking*
YES!!! Fantastic news, congratulations! I cannot wait to get my copies.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!??!!! This is AWESOME. Holy cow.
I wish I had the $$ to buy this today! But alas, I have to wait a bit. Congrats to you both!
So, I was over at amazon, and Kate & Marianne's book is #91 on the list of non-fiction "hot new releases." Not bad, for amazon.
Not only that, but it's moved up 2000 places in the overall amazon sales rankings since this morning.
So, I was over at amazon, and Kate & Marianne's book is #91 on the list of non-fiction "hot new releases." Not bad, for amazon.
I just looked, and it's moved up to #74 on the same list.
Sadly, the #1 book in the overall hot-new-releases category was a book called "Cook Yourself Thin: Skinny Meals You Can Make in Minutes." Sigh. And #3 and #4 were diet books, too.
Although this annoys me, I think it's great for K&M and the FA movement generally. There is a huge appetite (no pun intended) for diet/weight loss/eating-related books. I think this will tap into some of that market, which means 1) mega $$$ and 2) getting the word out.
What, the fuck. The #7 "hot new release" is a book called "Hungry Girl: 200 Under 200: 200 Recipes Under 200 Calories."
200 calories? The what now? This is so sad. That's a snack, not a meal.
Okay, I'll stop messing up this awesome thread. But it really is appalling.
Oh, m.leblanc, one of the reviews calls that Hungry Girl book a must have NUTRITION book.
I just…. There are no words.
I just keep thinking "no wonder you're fucking hungry, you're only eating 200 calories." It's almost funny, but then it's sad.
Amazon.com Sales Rank: #1,879 in Books (See Bestsellers in Books)
Popular in these categories: (What's this?)
#9 in Books > Health, Mind & Body > Self-Help > Self-Esteem
#11 in Books > Nonfiction > Social Sciences > Gender Studies
#18 in Books > Nonfiction > Women's Studies
Along the lines of marking the uninformed and stupid reviews as "not helpful," there are couple of douche-y tags on Amazon, and you can mark them as "inaccurate."
Congrats again btw! So exciting!!
Just got mine on Amazon. Congrats!
And still climbing! Up to 1789 on amazon's full list. First thing this morning it was 4779.
Amazon.com Sales Rank: #1,135 in Kindle Store
Popular in these categories:
#3 in Kindle Store > Kindle Books > Advice & How-to > Self-Help > Self-Esteem
#5 in Kindle Store > Kindle Books > Nonfiction > Women's Studies
#12 in Kindle Store > Kindle Books > Advice & How-to > Health, Mind & Body > Personal Health > Women's Health
Yay! Just found the book at The Harvard Coop in Cambridge, MA. Unfortunately it was in the diet section! Can't wait to start reading it.
Unfortunately it was in the diet section!
I sort of think that might be okay. Preaching to the choir is great, but wouldn't we love to leave several copies at WW meetings, too?
I just want to take this moment to say that Kate (and Fillyjonk and Sweetmachine, and well, *EVERYONE HERE*), I actually think I might love you. I have only been reading this blog since about maybe Feb/March, but now it's the first thing I go to after my email, and it's really, really, really been helping me. A Big Lot. Yaaay!
Now will someone please send copies to Oprah and Kirstie Alley??
I'm a poor student and can't even afford my own copy! Thank dog for libraries.
I just had to add the minute I saw the book was kindlized, I bought and downloaded it to my Kindle. I am about half way through it and catch myself nodding along in agreement.

Sabine River white bass run is the best in years
The white bass spawning run on the Sabine River above Toledo Bend is as good as it's been in years. The river is running with plenty of water and giving up lots of big whites that are hitting 1/4-ounce Road Runner spinners like there ain't no tomorrow.
"I've haven't seen it this good in years," said guide Bill Fondren. "I had three guys out last week and they had a blast. The limit is 25 a day, and we had those iced down in about an hour and a half. Then we went on to catch well over a hundred more. With the water level up as high as it is, the fishing should be excellent for the next three or four weeks."
The area that Fondren is fishing is about 15 to 20 miles north of Toledo Bend. What you want to do is head up to the River Ridge fishing camp. It's located about 12 miles south of Carthage on Highway 699. You can get more information at www [dot] riverridgetx [at] aol [dot] com. You can book a trip with Fondren by calling him at (409) 381-1397.
"You'll know when the white bass run is on by the pink blooms on redbud trees and the cars and trucks lining the roadsides at river crossings," said Larry Hodge with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. "When the redbuds bloom, the white bass run, and anglers flock to rivers above reservoirs to harvest their share of the bounty."
The nice thing about the white bass run is the generous 25-fish per day limit. The only thing you have to keep in mind is cleaning them at the end of the day. Filleting upwards of 50 to 100 white bass can be a major league chore.
Another nice thing about the white bass spawning run is the economic impact on the community.
"At Lake Buchanan, anglers spent about $2.5 million on white bass fishing trips between March and May 2011, and nearly $1 million of that came from anglers from outside the area," said Hodge. "What draws people to riverbanks on chilly spring days is more than the chance to catch fish. The white bass run is an annual tradition for many Texans. It's a sign of renewal and hope, an opportunity for an outing with family or friends, a source of treasured memories about the big one that didn't get away. It's a perfect example of the adage that when we go fishing, it's not just fish we seek."
Here in East Texas we've had a lot more rain than other regions of the state. Rivers like the Sabine, Angelina, Neches and Trinity are in excellent shape. However, in the Hill Country and South Texas, drought conditions could threaten the Texas white bass fishery in a number of ways. If a reservoir drops so low that connection to the river is lost, the fish won't be able to swim upstream where they are more vulnerable to angling.
"Water access for both boaters and bank anglers may be reduced or lost during an extended drought," said Hodge. "More importantly, the fish may not be able to spawn, reducing the numbers of fish available. If drought conditions continue for years, the white bass fishery may decline to the point anglers lose interest. This can result in a significant loss to local economies."
Many Texas reservoirs like Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend currently provide excellent white bass runs.
"Changing climate and increased water demands increase the chance that we will lose the connection between rivers and reservoirs necessary to sustain white bass populations unless we take this important fishery into account when making decisions about water management and reservoir operations," said Dave Terre, chief of management and research for TPWD's Inland Fisheries Division.
Terre also said the connections between rivers and reservoirs are important not just for white bass but also for a number of other species, including catfish and non-game species.
"We stand to lose these important fisheries if connectivity is not maintained," he said. "As our reservoirs get older and suffer from siltation and degradation of fish habitat, drought conditions will exacerbate the problem. Unfortunately there is no easy or quick fix."
Hodge points out that Texas is part of a national movement to address the multiple problems facing reservoirs. The Reservoir Fisheries Habitat Partnership and the Friends of Reservoirs Foundation were established to coordinate efforts, generate public support and facilitate funding.
"TPWD has launched studies to demonstrate the importance of maintaining river-to-reservoir transition zones from biological, recreational and economic standpoints," Terre said. "We are working with the public, other agencies and grassroots partners who support fish habitat improvements in our reservoir systems."
Over the past few decades, the best white bass runs have been above Sam Rayburn, Toledo Bend and Livingston. The best of those three is the run above T-Bend. That's where you can catch good numbers of big females. I'm talking about fish in the 2 to 3 pound class. That's outstanding fishing, and it's happening right now.

MORROW, Ga. – Junior Mike Augustine (Waterloo, Ill.) netted five threes as part of the best game of his Georgia College career, leading the Bobcats (11-8, 5-6 PBC) to a 75-66 win at Clayton State University (15-7, 6-5 PBC) Saturday.
The juniors were in charge tonight, as Augustine finished with 21 points, and classmate Ryan Aquino (Roswell, Ga.) picked up his sixth double-double of the 2010-11 season. Aquino matched 17 points with 17 boards in the win. Fellow junior Jared Holmes (Indianapolis) knocked down all six of his free-throw attempts and finished with 15 points.
Senior Josh Hurst (Athens, Ga.) also reached double-figure scoring, netting 11 with six boards.
Brandon Robinson did the best he could to keep the Lakers in the game with 23 points, helped by 17 from Timmy Downs. The rest of the Lakers managed just 26 points combined.
GC out-shot Clayton 40 percent (26-65) to 38 percent (18-48) from the floor, including a season-high 11 three-pointers from the Bobcats. The Bobcats had a slight rebound advantage of 41-37, but a 20-15 lead on the offensive glass.
Hurst's six rebounds give him 510 in his career, just behind the sixth-best rebounder in school history, Johnny Simpson (1984-86) at 515.
The Bobcats are back in action for the newly-formed rivalry game, the "Battle of the Cats" hosting No. 3 Augusta State University (20-2, 10-2 PBC) Thursday, Feb. 10 at 5:30 p.m. The Jaguars most recently beat Lander University 85-46 tonight.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

BLOODY FUCKING HEllReplyDelete
Looks great. I'd love to be able to see my subscriptions using that interface.ReplyDelete
HD seems essential to an "expanded" viewing experience...ReplyDelete
also, will annotations and links (controllable via remote) be offered?
It's about time that this trend finally picked up. I remember watching YouTube videos on the Wii a couple of years ago, and the novelty of it never broke the surface of mainstream media.ReplyDelete
I'm genuinely looking forward to YouTube XL though. It's revolutionizing how everyone consumes media, but it's finally adapting to how young people have always consumed content.

will xbox 360 have youtube XL?ReplyDelete
At the moment it is a gib joke!ReplyDelete
Where is HQ/HD playback on XL?
At the moment it is optimized for mobile not for "40" or larger even on "19" quality is realy bad.
1080i only come onReplyDelete
I just ran YouTube XL on the Wii, totally didn't know it existed before then but I browse videos on the Wii all the time so it was quite a surprise. Must say, XL on the Wii is great! It's so nice to actually have all the buttons on the screen.ReplyDelete
MUY bueno ya lo probe con mi canal de videos!!!ReplyDelete
how 'bout PSP???ReplyDelete
It would be nice to have the same permanent links for YouTube and YouTube XL, it is sometimes hard to find some videos you already seen in normal YouTubeReplyDelete
Wow. YT has a blog. lolReplyDelete
Being the old fart that I am, I thought this site was about videos.
GOD DAMN, PUT A DATE ON YOUR VIDEOS.ReplyDelete
I'm not able to use Playlists on Wii . Selecting a Playlist brings up a blank view screen with no description beside it. Under the view screen, are the videos in the list. Clicking on the first video doesn't start it, but makes all the videos disappear from the list under the view screen. At this point, the view screen is black and there are no thumbnails or descriptions . It's just a blank interface.ReplyDelete
I was able load a Bill Nye Playlist. It was the Brady Bunch Playlist that had the aforementioned problems. It even disappeared from the Youtube and Youtube XL list momentarily. The Nye list, however, won't continue to the next video automatically. I've tried the "Play next video when current video ends" setting both ways.These are my first Playlists ever. I've had no need to create Playlists, as video's are already arranged in ordered playlists by uploaders. When I select the "Playlist Videos" from the dropdown in XL from the Nye uploader, I'm presented with icons of TV's with red exclamation points in them. This user does have Playlists that show and function in regular Youtube.ReplyDelete
Youtube XL is choppy on the Wii compared to regular Youtube.
On Wii, the radio buttons in the setting work, but one tell if they are selected by looking at them.
I've recently tried Opera on my desktop and noticed problems with Google sites when using it. Are there incompatibility issues with Youtube XL and Opera for the Wii?
Any chance CBS will participate in XL so I can watch Star Trek TOS using Flash 7?
So, XL only offers HD? If it is all HD, that could be why the Wii performance staggers. Youtube XL and HD in regular Youtube staggers on my computer too. I'm running a little under 8mbps. Apparently that can't handle HQ/HD (I assume they're the same thing). Could we get an option in XL To turn off HD?ReplyDelete
Louis et Charles, DJ BAGO, tell snygman to remove what he stole, hi Théo soirÃce, theo soirace, snygman, why did you steal and alter ministry of dreams to ministry of dream to change later to ruin Gods child, tell snygman to remove what he stole like his reverend dr. jeremy taylor u.u. from wisdom university, and thats dr. jim garrison reading, thats rev. antonia vladimirova of dreams foundation masterbating, shes sofia bar association and thief ministry of dreams like her reverend kim davis of heart fire ministries and her politician douglas heller and his gay friend ron tompkins and diana hugheyReplyDelete
Thats great, but can youtube be seen in and HD big screen tv?ReplyDelete
Good Job ! ;) Greetings from naples (ITA)ReplyDelete
Much as this is an awesome feature with the Wii's Internet Channel; there are some faults that make this a bit sluggish to navigate. For starters, most of the videos I watch are from subscriptions, and the problem I am having is that I can only play the most recent of these videos. It would be nice that I can access the list of videos the user has that I had subscribed.ReplyDelete
On the Wii, there's a lot more functionality on regular Youtube. Youtube XL's fullscreen mode is choppy. If it's because it goes to a higher quality at that point, I don't notice an improvement in pixelization. I'm guessing the fullscreen on regular Youtube would be just as bad on the Wii if regular Youtube fullscreen worked on the Wii. At this point, regular Youtube on the Wii is the best way to go. However, if people don't know how to avoid the redirect to Youtube XL, they will think Youtube on the Wii is horrible. You may want to consider your image.ReplyDelete
BTW, it would be nice if the screen's menu bar on regular Youtube were dark so it wouldn't stand out on the Wii when aspect ratio requires it or the background to be left on the screen.
Thank you.

can you make it so that we can watch the videos in HD? this whole youtube XL thing would be pointless(as it is now) if it doesnt support HD.ReplyDelete
the videos look so bad on my PS3!!!
Ok, so how do you use the new XL videos on a TV set?ReplyDelete
youtube Xl has become a reaity?ReplyDelete
youre all a bunch of morons youtube xl is laggy,slow,and glitchy and i thought my contoller broke on me,the pointer moves freely like its being hacked and occasionally it freezes the ps3 witch is annoying, let me use regular youtube!!!ReplyDelete
@ Harman.ReplyDelete
I agree woth you. youtube.com/xl has great potential but it sucks right now on my Wii.
Wow lovely so muchReplyDelete
Please define 'large screen'. I understand for TV, but how big of TV screen? Can I play them on a very large screen /projector like at a fundraising event of or office?ReplyDelete
Yeah, this needs to be fixed up. Especially for Wii. I like being able to view YouTube videos from the comfort of my own couch instead of hunched over the computer. It's also convenient when I wanna show videos to my friends. YouTube XL is great for me functionally.ReplyDelete
However, the severely lacking video quality and bafflingly slow streaming speeds really don't help at all. If I can watch perfectly decent quality videos on the normal YouTube site through the Wii Browser, why do get such cruddy quality on YouTube XL? I know the Wii Browser isn't exactly the most sophisticated piece of software, but YouTube XL for Wii should take advantage of whatever Wii Browser compatible-streaming method YouTube has at it's disposal to provide high quality video.
PS. What I always have been crossing my fingers for is an official YouTube Channel for the Wii. In the UK, BBC has provided a streaming video service for the Wii and Nintendo's own Nintendo Channel provides high quality streaming video content. A dedicated YouTube Channel should be a no brainer. Try working on that!

I have a slow wi-fi connection (since I got Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector for the Wii from Buffalo....I think...it says buffalo on it anyway lol.) But I enjoy it even though the connection makes it's buffering very slow....I need a wireless router I think xDReplyDelete
But yea, YOUTUBE XL IS FUN!! ^_^
(It says that I can comment with a GMail account, so I put my Email on lol
....is there a way to comment on videos? Im looking for that lol
YouTube XL is exactly pointless. Without access to subscriptions and no way of selecting HD in options there exists no valid reason to bother using this on my PS3/TVReplyDelete
Fail service is fail.
I would like to be able to watch full episodes on Youtube via the Wii. The commercials will load, but not the actual video...perhaps a way to fix this? Please?ReplyDelete
YT-XL is SUPER.. BUT, can you go to a playlist to see the track on it?ReplyDelete
would be great if I can browse by category orReplyDelete
can you enable a youtube que or something like netflix que.

Consumer groups, industry and consumers have long raised concerns about this sector, arguing they prey on the community's most vulnerable and encourage a damaging cycle of debt.
"Payday lending can be high risk for vulnerable or low-income consumers. People often borrow money from payday lenders in order to meet short-term commitments like rent and groceries. The interest charged on the loan is often so exorbitant it only worsens the financial position of the consumer in the long-term, who may need to take out further loans in order to pay off the original loan and the interest," Mr Shorten said.
"This Government acknowledges that there is no quick fix to problems related to payday lending. As such, we fund a range of programs which help consumers address their financial issues before they resort to payday loans."
The discussion paper outlines Government programs and policies which:
- reduce the need for high cost, short term, small amount credit by improving access to low-cost and/or fairer alternative assistance;
- encourage more alternatives to high cost, short term, small amount lending; and
- improve assistance to those in a debt cycle so they are provided with constructive long-term solutions.
The paper outlines some areas the Government is already pursuing, such as The Consumer Credit and Corporations Legislation Amendment (Enhancements) Bill 2011 (the Enhancements Bill) which Minister Shorten has also released for comment today.
The Bill introduces a number of reforms in relation to small amount credit contracts, including a cap on costs and a requirement on lenders and brokers to disclose the existence of alternatives on their websites.
The key reforms introduced by this Bill are:
- caps on costs that can be charged by lenders in relation to small amount loans (including payday loans);
- introducing greater protections for seniors seeking to use the equity in their homes via a reverse mortgage; and
- enhancements to specific provisions of the National Credit Code, including changes to make it more straightforward for borrowers to seek a hardship variation when they are in financial difficulties.
"The reforms I introduced last year in the Credit Enhancements Bill have benefited from significant review through Parliamentary committee inquiries and consultations with industry stakeholders," Mr Shorten said. "The draft amendments I am releasing today refine the operation of the Bill, and improve its effectiveness."
The main changes resulting from the draft amendments to the Credit Enhancements Bill are:
- changing the cap in relation to small amount credit contracts, so that the maximum fees which can be charged are an establishment fee of 20% of the amount of credit and a monthly fee of 4% of that amount;
- simplifying the operation of the hardship variation procedures made in relation to both credit contracts and consumer leases; and
- changing the commencement dates for certain obligations to provide industry with an appropriate time to transition to the new requirements.
The deadline for submissions on The Consumer Credit and Corporations Legislation Amendment (Enhancements) Bill 2011 is 7 May.
The deadline for responses to the Discussion Paper is 4 June.

As I don't live in a capital city it is sometimes difficult to access some records. Yes, many are available online but others still require a visit to an archive or paying a researcher to do the work for me. Personally I prefer to discover things for myself. However, perhaps I should out source some work if it's something I really want.
I have information about several inquests in my family, mainly from newspapers but a few are official primary documents. I have previously written a series of blog posts about family members in my extended family who have died young.
These include :
- Norman George Dawson
- Edward Patrick (Neddy) Agnew
- Rupert Dawson
- Tommy Scheikowski
- William Henry Allsop
I do, however, have more information regarding the unfortunate death of John McInerney, my great, great, great grandfather who arrived in Melbourne with his wife an family aboard the Truro on 31st January 1854. Eighteen years later, on 14th December 1858, aged 37, he was dead.
He came by his death in the act of felling and cutting up a tree and that such death in our opinion must have been instantaneous and was purely accidental. (Foreman at the inquest)
John McInerney's son John who was aged 12 was required to give evidence.
I am the son of the deceased John McInerney, (labourer). I was yesterday cutting wood with the deceased (my father) and my two brothers, between Alberton and Port Albert at about four o'clock P.M. I was working about a hundred yards away from where my father was. I went over to him for a drink, and I thought he was laying under a log asleep. I went up to him and I asked him "was he dead" and he did not speak, he was sitting down, with his heels in the ground, and a limb of a tree was across his back and another across the back of his next. I took up the axe which was lying before him and chopped off the limb of the tree which was over his neck, and I raised up his head and it fell down again, and I immediately ran over to my brothers who were where I had been working. Mr Charles Tyers was with my brothers when I went back and I told them that my father was dead they came back to where my father was and found him dead. I had not been about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour absent from my father who I then saw alive, until I returned and found him dead. Before I left my father (when he was alive) he had felled a tree which was resting against another tree, and a stump, and when I came back, the tree which my father had felled, had fallen and crushed him. I went home as soon as I could with my brothers.
John was further questioned by the Coroner.
What property do you know the deceased to be possessed?
I know my father to possess two pigs and thirteen or fourteen cows, a few fowls, a house on half a acre of ground, which he leased at one time but I think he bought it.
Are those milking cows?
No there are six milking cows, four ? and three suckling calves.
Do you know whether your father has ?? on those animals for debt?
I do not know.
How many in family ?
Eight children.
Mr Charles Tyers also gave evidence.
..... I reside at Sea Bank, near Port Albert. At about four o'clock yesterday afternoon (the 14th instance) I was talking to two younger brothers of the last witness, when the last witness, John McInerney came and told me that his father was dead. I went over to the spot where he showed me, his father, the deceased was in a kneeling position with the toes on the ground, there was a limb of a tree across the back of the deceased and one which was across his neck was cut through but not ? I lifted the tomb off he ?? and found that he was dead. I immediately went and gave information to the ?
John McInerney's wife, Mary was to give birth to their ninth child, Thomas 6 weeks later on 28th January 1869. How much harder was life to become for her?
From re reading this inquest there are some further investigations for me to follow up.
- Did John McInerney own the house which his son mentioned?
- Where was this property?
- I need to investigate further local history of this area as it is one with which I am not familiar.
- Visit archives to collect more information about other inquests.

It seems that The Notwist have a habit of keeping people waiting; a six year hiatus between the excellent Neon Golden and 2008's The Devil, You + Me, and now six years between their debut collaborative effort with Themselves and 13&God's eagerly anticipated follow up, Own Your Ghost, a concept album on the subject of death. Has it been worth the wait? Well… yes… and no.
There's no denying they're an interesting bunch; Themselves consist of Adam 'Doseone' Drucker and Jeffrey 'Jel' Logan, both co-founders of the innovative anticon. label, whose samplers in the late Nineties and early Noughties contained some of the most edifying hip-hop going. Their bedfellows, the aforementioned The Notwist, offer little obvious musical connection, either via their earlier metal releases or the more recent electronica focussed glitch-pop that's found a welcome home on the Morr Music label - that is, until you dig into Anticon's more recent releases. Another connection seems to be a shared interest in making music that values its cerebral qualities as much as its intrinsic musical ones. Many of the lyrics are taken from Drucker's poetry, with standout track 'Death Minor' allegedly comprised of lyrics formed on the fly whilst recording was taking place, with Drucker and Markus Acher pulling sheets from a stack of prewritten poems.
The record was produced over three sessions, one in Oakland with a direct feed running to Dax's bedroom (Dax was paralysed from the chest down in 2005 after a tour van crash), and the other two in Wilheim at The Notwist's studio. This notion of geographic and personal dislocation is reflected in the music, with individual tracks attaining a decidedly more 'Notwist' or 'Themselves' feel. Opener 'It's Own Sun' (still struggling with whether that's a typo or not) or 'Beat On Us' have the feel of the former, with delicately strummed guitars and Acher's mellifluent and calmingly accented vocals dominating proceedings, whilst 'Sure As Debt' is led by some traditionally dextrous lyricism from Drucker and the confident drums and crisp production more closely associated with the work of Themselves. It's interesting to note that the influence of The Notwist is more consistently felt throughout the album; their minimal and soothing presence is still keenly felt through the relative intensity of 'Sure As Debt' via a delicate but urgent single note guitar part.
There are occasions when the joint venture comes together to great success, a strong example being 'Armored Scarves' where a deftly constructed piece of minimalism straight from The Notwist's pop sensibility factory jousts with Drucker's skittering, stream of consciousness flows. One of the reasons the track works particularly well is its bridging of the gaps between the two collaborating groups; it's one of the few times we hear Drucker's singing voice, morphing in and out of his more traditional delivery.
The problem is that throughout the record there is the nagging sense that this is ground that contributors have covered previously, either as 13 & God or in their separate guises. It grates particularly when one remembers the sense of innovation and progression that embodied both group's outstanding and career-defining 2002 releases, Neon Golden and The No Music. It doesn't help that it's the Acher brothers' more consistently evident contributions that feel most dated here; there's a sense that the best 13 & God album we could expect would see them, and in particular Markus Acher's vocal parts, taking more of a back seat. Delicate and pure cerebral pop has moved on in the last ten years, with a ready assortment of examples on the tip of the tongue of anyone reading this.
That said there's a lot to like here, in particular the frequent moments where the pairing works, as Drucker's stream of consciousness and insouciant delivery jousts with the soft supporting backdrop provided by The Notwist. Whether Own Your Ghost cheats the concept it's chosen or fades into obscurity, it's impossible not to admire the dedication and commitment to an aesthetic that both parties clearly believe in.

National Volunteer Week pays tribute to the millions of Canadian volunteers who donate their time and talents to our communities.
This special event began in 1943 to draw attention to the vital contribution women made to the war effort on the home front. Although this week was largely forgotten after the war ended, it experienced a revival in the late 1960s, when organizations stressed the importance of thanking volunteers across Canada.
This is the largest celebration of civic participation in Canada.
CanadaGenWeb www.facebook.com/pages/CanadaGenWeb-Cemetery-Project/150618738362392?fref=ts On their Facebook page, CanadaGenWeb's Cemetery Project publicly says 'Thank you" to its volunteers.
The Cemetery Project is a program is run entirely by volunteers, and it would not be able to offer a cemetery directory, transcripts, indexes and photos without their commitment and support.

You'll need a few details to send or receive a transfer – either domestically or internationally.
IBANs (international bank account numbers) identify individual bank accounts. They're issued by many banks in Europe, but banks elsewhere in the world are starting to adopt them as well.
Routing numbers help identify banks when processing domestic ACH payments or wire transfers. But only in the United States. You don't need one to make a payment to your friend in France, for example.
SWIFT codes, like routing numbers, also identify banks and financial institutions. This time for international payments. They're sometimes known as BIC codes.
It depends on the country you're sending money to. In the Eurozone, you'll always need an IBAN and a SWIFT/BIC code. Banks in the USA use SWIFT codes, but they don't use IBANs. It's the same in New Zealand too. More on IBAN numbers.
Not every bank branch has a SWIFT code, which means you can usually use the code for the bank's head office.

World Baseball Classic
It is no secret that I am a fan of baseball. There is something about going to the ballpark and watching a game ... even if it is the Royals ... that just puts a smile on my face.
As many of you probably don't know, there is an international baseball tournament going on called the World Baseball Classic, a.k.a. the WBC. This tournament embodies that which is great about the growing culture of baseball. The WBC was created by Major League Baseball when the International Olympic Committee decided to discontinue baseball from the Olympic competition.
This year teams have come from Australia, Canada, China, Chinese Taipei, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Panama, South Africa, the United States of America, and Venezuela have assembled to compete in the double elimination tournament. The winner of the WBC will become the true champions of the world.
Thus far the WBC has been filled of stories of heroics and upsets. No one expected the Netherlands to defeat the Dominican Republic ... twice! The Netherlands has a grand total of one major league baseball player while the Dominican Republic team was stacked with MLB stars and favored to advance to the semifinals. Furthermore, in the first round of pool play, the USA defeated Canada in a nail-biting game in front of a Canadian crowd who were the real winners. Last Tuesday the USA rose from the ashes in an elimination game to come from behind and snatch a win from the favored Puerto Rico in the ninth inning.
The semifinals have been set. Venezuela and the USA have advanced as well as Korea and Japan, defending WBC Champions.
It is a shame that the WBC has not been as accepted in the USA as in other countries. Those who have not seen a game or saw any highlights on your preferred sports news channel are really missing out. All over the world the WBC has been a huge success, the players jump at the chance to represent the country on their chests. The most amazing sight for me is watching these games being played in a very friendly atmosphere. Baseball has become a global game and the WBC is proof that it is only getting bigger.

[caption id="attachment_323385" align="aligncenter" width="748"] IG Michael Horowitz testifies before congress on Clinton email investigation[/caption]
Inspector General Michael Horowitz's review of the FBI's handling of its investigation of the Trump campaign in 2016 is out, and folks are pouring over the 476 pages.
A much-anticipated review of how the FBI came to investigate the Trump campaign's possible links to Russia has validated the agency's decision to open its probe.
The report, compiled by the Justice Department's inspector general, stresses that political bias did not influence the bureau's actions, as President Donald Trump and his allies have frequently alleged.
But the document is also littered with criticisms of FBI officials and how they vetted some information, such as a dossier of salacious allegations compiled by an ex-British spy.
Key takeaways from the report
The FBI did not use the Steele dossier to open Russia probe
Lynch, Comey sat for IG interviews
No evidence political bias was a factor

The House Judiciary Committee is hearing presentations from congressional investigators about the impeachment inquiry into President Trump's dealings with Ukraine, as Democrats prepare to draft articles of impeachment.
Monday's hearing includes testimony from Democratic and Republican attorneys from the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees. The House Intelligence Committee submitted its report last week on its investigation into Mr. Trump's efforts to get Ukraine to open investigations into the 2016 election and a company linked to the Bidens.
Those events are at the center of the Democratic case against the president, which the attorneys are laying out on Monday. Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi directed the committee chairs to pursue articles of impeachment, with a vote expected before the Christmas holiday.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said on Sunday that the committee will "presumably" introduce articles of impeachment this week.
From CNN:

In the end, four people were shot dead at the intersection in Miramar, authorities said, including two robbery suspects, a bystander, and hostage UPS driver Frank Ordonez -- a man who relatives say had been substituting for a colleague who had called out from work that day.
The slain robbers and hijackers were Lamar Alexander, 41, and Ronnie Jerome Hill, 41, both of Miami-Dade County, the FBI said. Authorities haven't released the name of the bystander who was killed.
Numerous questions about the chase and its finale remain, including who shot Ordonez and the bystander.

6"x9" 3-Way Speaker with 250 Watts Max. Power
40 Watts Nominal Power
"Open and Smooth" Sound Design
Composite IMPP Cone Woofer with Interlaced Dual aramid fiber
Experience smooth sound with A-Series. Pioneer's exclusive technology enriches your music by producing clear, open sound. Bring out the details of your music with A-Series speakers.
How do we improve on the A-Series speakers each year? Here's how. Our TS-A6962R 6" x 9" 3-ways now feature upgraded power handling of 250 watts max. (40 watts nominal). And we're continuing to lead the industry with next-generation technology for improved sound: the cones, magnets, surrounds, the voice coil wire, the basket and more are all high-performance components that make up a great speaker. Lastly, we redesigned the speaker grille to compliment the excellence of our A-Series speaker.
Composite IMPP Cone with Interlaced Dual aramid fiber
One of our major speaker breakthroughs was IMPP (Injection-Molded Polypropylene), which allowed cones to be lighter AND more rigid. Then we added long stands of Aramid fibers into the mix, for extra strength. Now, we've gone even further with the TS-A6962R, adding a second type of Aramid fiber that makes the cone even stronger and tougher, without adding weight. So what does this mean to you? Tighter, more powerful bass. A rich, natural sound character with excellent midrange depth. And the durability to stand up to the high volume levels, humidity, and temperature extremes that thrash other speakers.
Heat Resistant Polyester-Imide Resin Voice Coil Wire
Creating mechanical energy is hot work, especially at high volume levels. And as we all know, heat can cause distortion. That's why the TS-A6962R uses a heat-resistant polyester-imide resin voice coil wire. It allows the voice coil to handle more heat, improving input power handling as well as reliability. So go ahead. Turn it up.

Just as President Obama is worried about Syrian chemical weapons getting into the hands of Al Qaeda, Israel is concerned that the conflict in Syria will give Hezbollah cover for the delivery of short-range missiles.
That's the logic, according unnamed US and Israeli sources, for the latest Israeli air strike in Syria.
Israel hit a warehouse in Damascus early Friday where advanced surface-to-surface missiles from Iran were being stored before being shipped to Hezbollah, a Shiite group in Lebanon that fought a 34-day war with Israel in 2006, according to various reports.
The New York Times reports:
"It was the second time in four months that Israel had carried out an attack in foreign territory aimed at disrupting the pipeline of weapons from Iran to Hezbollah. The missiles, known as Fateh-110s, had been sent to Syria by Iran and were being stored at an airport in Damascus when they were struck in the attack, according to an American official."
The Fateh-110 missile is a short-range missile that's been in the Iranian arsenal since 2004. Its range is listed at 200-210 kilometers (130 miles) but there are reports that a more advanced model was under development with a range of more than 400 kilometers (239 miles). The Fateh-110 is considered more accurate and more advanced than the Scud missiles used by Hezbollah in the past.
Associated Press quoted an anonymous Israeli official confirming that the attack was "aimed at sophisticated "game-changing" weapons, but not chemical arms. One official said the target was a shipment of advanced, long-range ground-to-ground missiles but was not more specific.
Reuters quoted an anonymous US source confirming the air strike. "There was an air strike. The target was not a chemical weapons facility. It was missiles intended for Hezbollah," the official told Reuters. A U.S. official told Reuters the target was apparently a building.
While Hezbollah has not officially or specifically discussed this Israeli missile strike, The Daily Star of Lebanon quotes an official as saying that the group is backing Syria's President Bashar Assad.
"Hezbollah is ready to prevent Syria falling under the control of Tel Aviv and Washington," said Ibrahim Amin Sayyed, a Hezbollah official, during a ceremony held in Baalbek in memory of one the party's "martyrs."
"This is a strategy and not an intervention in the Syria crisis. It is an intervention in the conflict against America and Israel," he added.
His comments come just days after Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah said that Hezbollah fighters were defending Lebanese in Syrian border cities against Syrian opposition forces and hinted that Iran, Russia and "resistance groups" would step in militarily to prevent the fall of Assad.
The Washington Post notes that Hezbollah is concerned about Sunni groups gaining control of Syria. "The Shiite Hezbollah movement is worried that the collapse of the Syrian regime in Damascus and its replacement by one led by the overwhelmingly Sunni opposition will undermine Hezbollah's dominant role in Lebanon and leave it vulnerable to Israeli attack. The movement has long relied on Syria for the transshipment of arms supplied by its chief ally, Iran, and the fall of Assad would compromise its supply routes."Meanwhile, Syrian opposition forces are claiming that the Israeli attack hit more than just a warehouse storing missiles from Iran.
The Israeli news site, Haaretz reports that rebel forces claim that five sites at the Damascus airport were hit by Israeli jets, including fuel tanks, Syrian ammunition depots, and a cargo aircraft. The Haaretz article hypothesizes that the attack on Hezbollah-bound missiles is a pretext for supporting Syrian opposition forces, when the US and other nations are not prepared to make any overt military intervention.
"In light of the alleged Israeli attack in Damascus and the refusal of Western countries to intervene in the Syrian campaign, the question arises whether Israel will be able, or will be required to expand its activities in Syrian airspace, under the guise of preventing weapons from reaching Hezbollah or other organizations and also as an aerial umbrella to protect rebel forces. Such a solution is likely to be comfortable for the U.S., other Arab countries and Turkey, who are not prepared for military intervention on their part without extensive international agreement.
In this way, Israel is likely to accustom the Syrian government and the opposition to the idea that it sees Syria as a legitimate area of activity, as it does in Lebanon."

The Day Grace Slick Quit Jefferson Starship After Drunken Germany Show
By the middle of 1978, Jefferson Airplane had upgraded to Starship and were in the process of running out of fuel. The band (including singer Grace Slick) was on tour in Europe to promote the recently released 'Earth' album when a stop in Germany deteriorated into a confusing mess. "She'd always had a thing about Germany," wrote Jeff Tamarkin in the band bio 'Got a Revolution!' "All things Deutsche brought out the worst in her."
During the tour of Europe, Slick had fallen ill. At first, everyone thought her stomach virus was a result of food poisoning. But a doctor diagnosed appendicitis and told Slick she was well enough to perform. A show in Wiesbaden was canceled, but the next night's concert in Hamburg was still on.
As showtime neared, Slick tore into an alcohol-fueled tantrum, throwing bottles, refusing to get ready for the concert and demanding more booze from room service. By the time the band got onstage, she was in no condition to perform. The show was filmed for the German music program 'Rockpalast,' but the episode never aired. Maybe because Slick began taunting the audience, repeatedly asking, "Who won the war?" She also called them Nazis and gave the 'Heil Hitler!' salute onstage.
"I'm in Germany and I'm gonna get back at them for Dachau, or some dumb drunken decision," Slick recalled in Tamarkin's book. "That's what that night was about: dumb, drunken decisions. So they started walking out, but they kept coming back, like, Maybe she'll do something really hideous and we will have missed it. A freak show." Starship's publicist, Cynthia Bowman, remembered that "you could just see all the life drain out of the group. It was just a horrible, empty, bad, dark night."
Following the Hamburg debacle, Slick was asked to resign from the band by guitarist Paul Kantner. She did. But she rejoined Jefferson Starship three years later, just in time for their 'Modern Times' album.

There's a great scene in "Middle Men" where porn merchant Giovanni Ribisi randomly toys around with a crossbow in a room as Luke Wilson finds a $2 million check under a candy bar.
PopcornBiz just had to ask Ribisi -- why is he toying with a crossbow? "You gotta have a crossbow," Ribisi replied with a smile, not willing to elaborate further.
The decision for the crossbow was random one according to producer Christopher Mallick. And sudden.
"Giovanni came out of his trailer and said to me, 'I think I'm going to need a crossbow in this scene,' " Mallick recalls. He admits he was confused. "I'm like, 'You're in an office talking about a check you found under a candy bar.' "
"And it was like, 'Yeah, I think I need a crossbow for it.' "
Say no more. Mallick sprung into action. "I sent a runner at 7 a.m. to find a crossbow." Ribisi was impressed, mimicking Mallick talking urgently into his headphone with the most unusual set demand of the day: "We need a crossbow on set in a half-hour."
Sure enough, in a half-hour Ribisi was putting the crossbow together in his trailer. Ready for action.
The scene worked perfectly and is even featured in the movie's trailer -- the crossbow a subtle but key detail about the insane lifestyle the characters are taking on.
"For me, it's one of the funniest scenes in the movie," says Mallick.

When you're grilling, nothing's more handy than a digital thermometer... except maybe these: Tongs that incorporate a very fine temperature probe so you don't need to fiddle with multiple tools.
Test seven meat types (beef, veal, lamb, pork, poultry, turkey and ground beef) to see if they meet the USDA regulations for char. Then, assuming you bought your meat from a decent butcher, disregard the hogwash and eat your burger so rare that you can feel the cow's heartbeat with every bite. [Amazon via Red Ferret]

I think that is the most common way for kids to find out these days. My wife and I decided to try ordering a letter from Santa for him this year. We looked at several different websites and settled on http://www.ezsantaletters.com. They have a wider variety of letters that can be personalized and offer some other interesting products, like a Santa Evidence Kit. I am thinking about getting that one too.
Merry Christmas All
You should've gone to www.santagreeting.fi that's the real santa!
