TEDxNewWallStreet - 03/11/2012 TEDxNewWallStreet explores moving banking from the Industrial Age, into the Information Age. In 2009, Marc Andreessen remarked "banking is just information science." Inspired by Marc's words, Bruce Cahan and the Team set out to organize TEDxNewWallStreet to explore a banking system different than the Industrial Age system we inherited. What if Silicon Valley or other technology clusters grew New Wall Streets, on quite different terms than exist in New York? How would they spearhead technology in faster, cheaper, more transparent and accountable ways that contrast with the recent (and recurring) issues of the game as defined and played on old Wall Street? Let's move beyond pundits who deflect true innovation and reinforce a cynical inevitability by portraying bankers and banking as forever unhealthy or worse. Such a paradigm is not inevitable.
'Female Schindler' who saved 2,500 Jewish children, has died aged 98 By Richard Pendlebury Updated: 12:21 GMT, 22 May 2008 She smuggled out the children in suitcases, ambulances, coffins, sewer pipes, rucksacks and, on one occasion, even a tool box. Those old enough to ask knew their saviour only by her codename "Jolanta". But she kept hidden a meticulous record of all their real names and new identities - created to protect the Jewish youngsters from the pursuing Nazis - so they might later be re-united with their families. Her finest hour: Irena Sendler rescued thousands of Jewish children By any measure, Irena Sendler was one of the most remarkable and noble figures to have emerged from the horrors of World War II. When the Germans finally caught her, the Roman Catholic social worker had managed to save 2,500 Jewish babies and toddlers from deportation to the concentration camps. She had spirited them out of the heavily-guarded Jewish ghetto in Warsaw, and hidden their identities in two glass jars buried under an apple tree in her neighbour's garden.
Peter Diamandis: Abundance is our future | Nouveaux paradigmes What's in My Meat? Walk into the grocery store into the meat aisle and you’ll be inundated by a huge amount of choices meats, different brands, different packaging, some showing just plain ‘ole labels of what’s in the package and others that specify that they are grass fed, with no growth hormones, all natural, organic… It can be overwhelming. Seeing everything laid-out before you will lead even the most informed consumer to ask, “What’s in my meat?” Meat producers regularly inject the animals with antibiotics to keep them healthy. It makes them gain weight and prevents them from getting sick but according to NaturalNews.com it is also “contributing to the evolution of drug-resistant bacteria, including strains that can infect humans.” The result of this practice is that antibiotics are becoming less-effective and the bacteria that cause illness are no longer affected by the antibiotics previously used to treat them; one example is multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
TEDx - Mike Horn : explorer les limites [vidéo] La conférence TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) définit sa mission comme « propagateur d’idées ». TEDx est un programme qui permet aux écoles, aux entreprises, aux bibliothèques ou aux groupes d’amis de profiter d’une expérience similaire à celle de TED par le biais d’événements qu’ils organisent eux-mêmes. Le thème de cet événement était « Explore« . Regardez cette vidéo et buvez les paroles de Mike Horn. Je ne me prends pas habituellement au sérieux, mais ce que nous faisons parfois est sérieux. On m’a dit que j’avais seulement 20 minutes. J’ai étudié la psychologie du sport à l’université en Afrique du Sud. Une semaine plus tard, j’ai réalisé que ce n’était pas ce qui me rendait heureux. Je suis arrivé en Suisse et c’est là que ma vie d’explorateur a commencé, en passant de ‘avoir tout’ à ‘avoir rien’ et découvrir que c’est ce qui fait la liberté. Je vais vous poser une question et elle est importante : qu’est qui fait que vous êtes vous ? Je n’ai pas peur de perdre.
Even Barbara Walters is mystified by the GOP candidate who wants to outlaw oral sex in Virginia By David EdwardsMonday, July 22, 2013 14:35 EDT On Monday, hosts of ABC’s The View blasted Republican Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli over his campaign to reinstate a “Crimes Against Nature” law that would outlaw oral and anal sex even between consenting straight couples. “What ever happened to the slogan, ‘Virginia is for lovers’?” co-host Barbara Walters wondered. “Only man-on-top lovers, that’s it,” co-host Joy Behar pointed out. “What he does is he automatically equates oral sex with homosexuality, okay,” Walters observed. “Well, then I’m as gay as a gay two dollar bill,” co-host Sherri Shepherd quipped. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg demanded that Cuccinelli prove that he had not personally “indulged” in his so-called crimes against nature. “The second thing is, why are you in my bedroom?” “So sir, you’re not going to become the governor if you stay on this track,” Goldberg promised. “Anal sex too,” Behar noted.

Study – Your fast food hamburger may contain as little as 2 percent actual meat (NaturalNews) Most people who don’t tune into Natural News eat bug and weed killer every day, maybe even every meal of their lives. Many Americans, namely one in every three or more, get cancer and can’t figure out why. Their doctors won’t tell them the truth, and they just can’t believe that it came from the food they ate, but 90% of the time, it does. Since the early 1990′s, Americans have been secretly fed bug and weed killer in their fruits and vegetables, and in their cereals, bagels, chips, oils and bread. Most innocent folks who don’t spend any time doing research on what they put in their mouths think that if they take their fruit and vegetables home and wash them off, or cook them well, that they are getting rid of toxins and they don’t have much to worry about. What kills more Americans than anything else, including guns, drugs and medicine? Almost all processed foods and refined sugars come from GMO corn, which is now deadly in America. The big death cover up is upon us.
Man With Stage 3 Colon Cancer Refuses Chemotherapy & Cures Himself With Vegan Diet Chris Wark shares his short and powerful testimony of how he refused chemotherapy and survived stage 3 colon cancer. We often hear of alternative methods and treatments for cancer, but rarely are they used and implemented by individuals primarily due to the fear factor. Those diagnosed with cancer are heavily encouraged by doctors, family and peers to seek mainstream treatments like chemotherapy. Although the cancer tumour was removed, it had already spread to his lymph-nodes. Email I received from Chris: Surgery does not cure cancer, especially not stage 3. Granted, cancer is a multi-billion dollar industry which would make it hard for one to market studies that go against traditional treatments like chemotherapy. Alternative treatments can range from baking soda, cannabis, hemp oil and much more. Good little clip here with lots of truth. Sign up here for free.
