00:00 It’s time now for Tom Keene, Bloomberg Editor-at-Large and host of Bloomberg Surveillance right here on Bloomberg Radio… 00:05 …and, Tom, our focus today is what is really going on with the economy? What do you mean by that? 00:09 Well, you look at equities bonds, currencies, commodities, you can see not much is going on. 00:13 -When you look at the spread market… -Because we’re stuck in a range? 00:16 Yeah, it’s just range-bound trading and all that, but you look at the spread market, there’s been a big, big improvement. 00:20 Let’s go to a chart right away. The Bloomberg financials’ conditions index, Michael Rosenberg and our team put this together. 00:27 Above the red line is good news. That was back before the crisis. 00:32 Down we go, and then down we plunged to a negative 10 standard deviation’s truly unprecedented… 00:38 …and you can see how nicely we’ve recovered. 00:41 That’s a set of 10 or 11 spreads. The IMF uses that in their financial stability report as well. Just one indicator things are getting better. 00:50 -Sure, one of many; one of the green shoots out there. -Yeah. 00:52 What does this Bloomberg financial conditions index track, though, when it comes down to - you’ve mentioned spreads? 00:57 Corporate, it’s all spreads. Corporate spreads, immunity spreads, elaborate OIS, it’s just soup…uh, spreads… 01:01 …you add salt and pepper, and you can get a picture of the financial conditions that are out there and it’s a big improvement. 01:07 -Dean Maki has been relentlessly optimistic… -Dean Maki at…? -… at Barclays Capital. -Okay. 01:13 And you know, he’s suggesting here look, things are pretty good. 01:15 Savings rate is higher than we believe, when he runs through the numbers… 01:20 …and it leads up to a remarkably optimistic end of 2009, and at 2010, that goes to 2.8 percent positive GDP… 01:30 …so Barclays Capital really leading the way in optimism as we go into this year… 01:35 What is he saying about things like inflation, though? That’s certainly something the bond market is worried about. 01:38 That’s a very good point. He’s looking at lesser inflation than the gloom that’s out there. 01:42 He thinks it’s overstated. And you get to a top-line GDP which is actually within means. 01:47 It’s a very pleasant report, if you would, from Barclays Capital. 01:52 You get real economic growth combined with, as you allude to Scarlet, lesser inflation. 01:58 Now what are you looking at on Bloomberg Surveillance this morning? 02:00 Well, you’ve got George Magnus of UBS, he’s got a more cautious view than Dean Maki. 02:04 George Magnus will join us, and Dino Kos of Portales Partners will join us as well, as we try to wrap up the week. 02:12 -It’s been a soup of a week, don’t you think? I mean… -'A soup of a week,' that’s a good way of putting it. 02:18 -…no real trends here. -Yeah, yeah. Well, we’re grasp – we're clutching at straws here. 02:21 Yeah, and don’t forget Jan Hatzius of Goldman Sachs with a far, more cautious view… 02:24 …he reaffirmed negative 3 percent for this quarter a few days ago. 02:29 Okay, we look forward to it. Bloomberg Surveillance starts at 7 am, runs through 10 am, New York time.

Microsoft Shows Off Virtual Game Controls : Video yappr con subtitulos

hola aca les traigo otro video para los que deseen mejorar en el Listening. Para explciarles brevemente este video trata de como Microsoft esta tratand de cambiar la manera en que los juegos son controlados. Bueno sin mas rollo .. aqui lo tienen disfruntelo espero les ayude a seguir mejorando en el ingles Enjoy it!!!

00:01 Microsoft is looking to transform the way video games are controlled, and takes some of the buzz away from the Nintendo Wii. 00:09 It’s called Project Natal – a motion-controlled system that weighs…absolutely nothing! 00:15 In fact, the user doesn’t actually hold anything; it’s all done with cameras, microphones, and depth sensors. 00:21 It’s gonna be the experiences that really get consumers excited, and so you know, even me, just as a game creator… 00:28 …obviously, we’re working on stuff within first party of Microsoft for Project Natal. 00:32 But, you know, just like anybody else, I’m a gamer and I’m super excited to see… 00:36 …what other game developers and the other best creative people in the industry are building with this technology. 00:40 Like Nintendo’s Wii, Project Natal could become a game changer in the gaming world. 00:45 Several of the biggest names in the industry already are developing titles. 00:49 I think people are just excited about the potential of this technology. I think it’s going to be more of, you know, building products going forward with Natal… 00:56 …building the new types of experiences, but you know, these are obviously technical proofs… 01:02 …this kind of stuff that we show you to show the potential of the technology so we can allow our third-party partners… 01:07 …to announce their own games and their own experiences on their own schedule. 01:11 The Tokyo Game Show is the last major event heading into the holiday season - a crucial period for console manufacturers… 01:17 …and despite the buzz Microsoft was able to generate, Project Natal wasn’t the biggest headline at the event. 01:23 That honor went to Nintendo, which announced it will slash $50 off the price of its popular Wii. Jon Belmont, The Associated Press.

From CEO to Delivering Pizza : Video ABC subtitulado

aca les traigo otro video que encontre entre mis archivos este es uno de la ABC que cuenta la historia de un americano que ganaba mas de $750 000, pero cuando quizo hacer su propio Fondo de Inversion (Hedge Fund), el mercado colapso, y lo perdio todo. Ahora el trabaja como repartidor de pizzas.

00:00 Until recently, Ken Karpman was part of an elite group of Americans making more money in a few weeks than most Americans make in a year. 00:08 But all that suddenly changed and now he and his family are hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. 00:14 For the first 45 years of my life, everything was just great. Got into college, got the right job, got the right girl. 00:22 -Nice vacations. Aspen for Christmas. Country club, the tennis, and the golf. -Ken Karpman has lived the good life. 00:30 With his job, buying and selling stock for institutional clients, he made more money than 99 percent of working Americans. 00:38 -750 was the top. -$750,000 a year? -Yeah. And so... -That's a lot of money. 00:43 -Yeah, I know. -The Florida house where Ken and his wife Stephanie are raising their two children shows what that money can buy. 00:50 -But a closer examination tells another story. -So, one plus two-fourths... 00:55 The reality is the Karpmans are broke. They haven't paid their mortgage in two years, and their dream home is in foreclosure. 01:04 -You've hit rock-bottom. Savings accounts, 401(k) is completely... -Gone. 01:09 -Gone. Zero. Credit cards? What do you owe on credit cards? -Over a hundred thousand. 01:16 -Yeah. -More than a hundred thousand? 01:18 Their problems began 4 years ago, when Ken left his job to start his own hedge fund, a gamble that did not pay off. 01:25 It was tough going and Ken dipped into his savings to pay household bills and to keep his business afloat... 01:31 ...resulting in a financial nightmare they never envisioned. 01:34 When Ken's hedge fund dissolved, he was adrift in a sinking economy, looking for a job. 01:40 -What was that job search like? -People were just cutting back everywhere, so... 01:45 Six months turned into two years. Still, no luck. Then, four months ago, Ken did something he never could have imagined. 01:53 -He went to the local pizza parlor and asked for a job. -”Hire me. I mean, you've done - you need to hire me.” 02:00 Listed on his application, an MBA from UCLA, and his previous salary. 02:06 Pizza. Delivering pizzas. Just, never in my wildest dreams would I think that he would be doing that. 02:12 -Ken went from making six figures a year to $7.29 an hour, plus tips. -$27.49. 02:20 -There, keep the change. -Great. Thank you very much, ma'am. Bye. -Buh-bye. 02:23 This whole progression down, it's amazing how many things you say, “Oh, I can't do that.” And I say, “Oh yeah, I can do that.” 02:29 I mean, you know, you just, oh, “This is what I'll do to keep food on the table.” 02:35 The Karpman's financial troubles are so bad, Robin, they've gone from eating out at restaurants, they now are so broke... 02:40 ...they qualify for $500, $500 a month in food stamps. 02:44 -How are the kids doing? -You know, 10 and 11 years old, they're in the private school that they've only known... 02:49 ...the only school they've known because somebody is anonymously paying for their tuition. 02:53 They're trying very hard to protect them from all this, but they're going to lose that home in a couple of months. It has been foreclosed. 02:59 Oh, sorry. Elizabeth, thank you so much...

Dieters Go Bananas For Bananas: Video yappr con subtitulos

aca encontre otro video de yappr el cual le añadi los subtitulos que encontraran debajo espero les guste para seguir mejroando su aprendizaje del ingles asi como los otros videos que he puesto. Enjoy it XD!!!!

Subtitles

00:00	Some people are going ape over the Banana Diet.
00:03	It is all the rage in Japan; so popular, there are reports of banana shortages in Japan – but does it work? And how does it work?
00:10	-Registered Dietitian Kerri Glassman is here. Good morning. -Good morning! -What is the Banana Diet?
00:15	-Can you believe, first of all, that banana sales in Japan went up 80% in 1 week… -Wow.
00:19	…compared to the same week last year? I think that’s crazy. Because it is crazy!
00:23	The Banana Diet is you start with a banana, or as many as you want for breakfast, with warm water.
00:28	You don't have anything until lunch. You have a basic lunch, which can be anything you want, even pizza and fries.
00:33	Then, you have a snack, which can even be a sweet. Dinner, which has to be- which can be anything you want. It has to be before 8 p.m.
00:39	Nothing after dinner, including sweets; and then you have to go to bed before midnight.
00:43	-So much that – uh, is wrong with this… -Exactly.
00:46	…to me; I don’t even know where to start. But let’s start with breakfast. First of all, as many bananas as you want?
00:51	-As many as you want. Exactly. -So maybe the idea is you get so full, you don't want to eat a big lunch, a big dinner, a big…?
00:57	Well, that's part of it. Bananas do have fiber, and they're gonna help fill you up to some extent.
01:01	But still, many people we know, no matter how many bananas you have for breakfast, they're still…
01:05	…they’re told you can have whatever you want for lunch and dinner.
01:07	I mean, I don’t care – you could be having a turkey sandwich, trying to lose weight, then all of a sudden, you switch to pizza and fries…
01:13	-…I mean, you're gonna gain weight! -That’s one problem.
01:15	It's a recipe for disaster for most people.
01:17	However – the other thing - for some people, though, if you're eating, let's say, lots of sweets throughout the day…
01:22	…and now you're told you can't have any sweets except for one small sweet at three, you might lose some weight.
01:27	Also, for some people, if you're an emotional eater and you overconsume thousands of calories at night, you're gonna cut calories.
01:32	So, for some people, you may lose a little bit of weight, but for most people, again - it's a recipe for disaster.
01:38	How about the warm water, though, to start your day? I know that’s something that you recommend. That’s one good thing about this diet.
01:44	It is. Well, because some people do believe that it does help with digestion.
01:47	And it's also – it’s calming for some people to have that warm water in the morning.
01:50	It’s calming; you're increasing your fluid intake in the morning, but this diet actually gives no explanation of why.
01:55	Okay. There’s a Japanese actress who lost 26 pounds…people see that and they say, “I don’t care that it’s not logical. It worked for her!”
02:03	Well, but it was also put up on a some social networking site in Japan, and people are going crazy…
02:07	…and actually, half the testimonials, they can't even find the people. So, for most people, bananas are not a magical food. They're just not
02:13	They have fiber. They have protein. They have potassium.
02:16	They're an excellent food which should - should be incorporated into your diet but just like the grapefruit diet or the cabbage soup diet…
02:21	-Exactly. -…there's no magical food.
02:23	Exactly. Right. And bananas…is there – what’s the one thing about bananas where you – it, it could be a good thing?
02:29	Well, the interesting thing…well, first of all, there is some fiber, and I said potassium…
02:32	and one other interesting thing about it, is that it does have some resistant starch.
02:36	Resistant starch is a type of fiber that passes through your system into your colon, and which - without being digested.
02:41	And there is some new research that shows that it might actually help burn fat.
02:46	Now, even if that's true and, let's say, it does help do that, there are other resistant starches out there, in potatoes, in beans.
02:52	You still can't over-consume as many bananas as you want…
02:54	…and you still can't eat whatever you want, including steak and fries every day for lunch. So…
03:00	-We- we don’t recommend it. Let’s just put it that way. -Let’s just have some bananas! -Okay.
03:04	-Let’s just enjoy a little bit of bananas for breakfast, and… -I already did.
03:06	…incorporate it into a healthy diet, and that’s – you know…that – that – that’s the way to go.
03:10	-But we know we still need our whole grains, our vegetables. -Alright. Kerri Glassman…
03:14	-I’ll have some. -Appreciate it. She - she gets worked up. This is her thing

00:00	They’re the big hairy spiders of our nightmares and it’s no wonder we’re afraid.
00:12	Tarantulas are the biggest of all the arachnids. These spiders are killing machines, perfectly adaptive to their habitats.
00:25	And the biggest and baddest of them all is the Goliath.
00:30	It can grow to nearly a foot across with fangs an inch long.
00:36	The Goliath makes its home in the remote rain forests of South America.
00:43	Night is when the Goliath is most active, but for these ambush predators hunting means lying in wait.
00:52	Near the entrance to her burrow she lays down a silk welcome mat.
00:58	It acts like a tripwire, letting her know when something has ventured within range.
01:05	Even with eight eyes Goliaths, like most spiders, have weak vision; they’re alerted to the presence of pray by the vibration rippling across their sensitive hairs.
01:16	It’s only a matter of time before some hapless creature, like this hapless floor mouse wanders too close and brushes against the silk. It’s like ringing a dinner bell.
01:31	The Goliath venom proves fatal to this mouse. But for most people the tarantula’s bite is no worse than a bee sting.
01:41	According to researchers, there’s never been a single confirmed human death from a tarantula bite.
01:48	Perhaps knowing the facts about these ancient predators can help turn human fear into fascination.

00:12	This fishing spider lurks near water.
00:16	And lives to prey on fish, tadpoles or in this case – frogs.
00:24	Now you are probably asking yourself how a spider catches, kills and eats a frog.
00:30	Well fishing spiders rest on the water surface with their hind legs anchored on a leaf or a rock.
00:37	When it detects vibrations of passing prey, it pounces with lightening speed and subdues its catch under its body.

00:00 Some Bears fans are calling him a savior. Jay Cutler doesn't see it that way. 00:14 But the Bears feel they have a top-flight quarterback in Cutler, who reached the Pro Bowl last season. 00:23 The Bears dealt two first-round draft picks and a third rounder to Denver to get Cutler. 00:29 Chicago also sent quarterback Kyle Orton to the Broncos. 00:50 The new Bears quarterback was happy to be in the Windy City and had kind words to say about Denver despite his stormy exit. 01:02 Uhm, I couldn't be more excited, you know, I'm here to help this team win and bring a championship back to Chicago. 01:13 I'd like to thank Mr. Bowlen and the Broncos for the last three years, and the fans of Denver; you know, I loved my time there. 01:32 Obviously, there's been a lot said, you know, on my part and the Broncos' part over the last couple of months. 01:42 I think both sides would possibly do a few things different but uh, you know… 01:53 …everything happens for a reason and you know, that's behind me. 02:02 Cutler threw for over 4500 yards in 25 touchdowns with Denver last season. 02:21 He was already angry with Broncos management and new coach Josh McDaniels… 02:32 …when he found out in late February that Denver was trying to trade him to Tampa Bay. 02:46 Now, Cutler will play for the team he rooted for, growing up in Santa Claus, Indiana. 02:51 Uhm, it's a little humbling, you know? Uhm, to grow up a Bears fan and watch this organization for so long… 03:06 …and then coming you know, full circle, and have an opportunity to play. Like I said, it's a dream come true. 03:13 Twenty-three quarterbacks have started for the Bears since Jim McMahon in the mid-1980s. 01:52 If the mobile quarterback with a cannon for an arm plays as he did in his Pro Bowl season… 01:58 …the Bears will have found the star quarterback they have long sought.

00:00 In Antarctica, every day is an Olympic one. 00:05 These emperor penguins are near the end of a two-week fishing marathon, bringing food for their hungry chicks waiting miles away. 00:12 But a challenger threatens the entire competition. A leopard seal waits at the shoreline. It’s hungry, too. 00:26 Some emperors make the leap onto shore before it can reach them. But the leopard seal is patient; it knows it controls the playing field. 00:36 Superb athletes, they sense the leopard seal and reverse direction in a split second. 00:46 Seeing an opening, more and more penguins stream up and out onto the ice. 00:54 The momentum seems to turn the way of the penguins. Dozens make the leap to the safety of land… 01:02 …until the leopard seals changes the rules of the game. 01:09 The penguins scramble to get away. Out of the water, both the seal and the penguins lose their speed and agility; only desperation remains. 01:20 The leopard seal snares a penguin. For the seal, victory seems certain. 01:28 But the game is not over yet. Penguins will go limp rather than struggle. 01:34 If the leopard seal loses its grip, the penguin will make a break for it. This one is gone like a shot! 01:44 It rejoins its teammates safely waiting at a distance. The leopard seal, though, doesn’t give up. It still has good field position. 01:53 And now, the element of surprise. The leopard seal won’t lose its grip this time, but takes its prize into the sea. 02:03 For all but one, these competitors have won the fight to see another day.

00:06	This is the Ming Dynasty’s Great Wall. The stone dragon that has become the image of the Great Wall of China throughout the world.
00:14	It was built in the 16th century for much the same reason as the Han Walls. To protect the middle kingdom from the Northern Barbarians.
00:23	But this gigantic construction is made not of earth, but of baked bricks. It’s more than 7 meters thick at the base...
00:29	...and its battlements reach up to 20 meters high. It curves majestically through more than 1,200 kilometers of the mountains north of Beijing.
00:50	It follows the natural line of the mountain peaks, reaching breathtaking heights, before plunging into the deepest ravines.
01:02	Visitors stand speechless before this architectural masterpiece and they admire the audacity of its builders...
01:13	...even while they wonder about its real or military effectiveness. But there’s little doubt about the message. This is the frontier of our world.
01:32	On the other side, the alien world begins. This wall is the expression of a culture that wanted to be entirely self-sufficient.
01:53	This stone monument marks the peak of wall-building in China’s long history. Almost every dynasty had built its own wall.
02:02	There was never a single strategic idea. Some reckoned that all the walls added together would stretch for 25,000 kilometers.
02:21	Many parts of many walls are still to be discovered. On the Yellow River, close to the once-so-hotly disputed Ordos region, there is still a few remains.
02:32	Here and there, ruined towers and tumbling sections of walls still rear out of the sand.
02:46	Over the centuries, the wind and the rain have taken their toll on the walls of packed earth.
03:06	The relics of the old ramparts seem to merge with the natural landscape, as if they were never built by man.
03:13	Hard to believe here, in the myth of the wall, as a symbol of the nation’s strength.

Subtitles

00:00	Over 6 incredible weeks, this colossal complex of snow and ice has risen from the banks of the Torne River in far northern Sweden...
00:10	...as it has each year for the last decade and a half. It is without doubt a frozen wonder of the world.
00:30	Thousands of tons of snow and ice designed, built, and sculpted by an international team. It’s the biggest igloo on the planet.
00:47	The giant ice chandelier hanging in the Main Hall is the only feature that remains the same year after year.
00:58	Everything else is created as a unique piece just for this year’s Icehotel. Fiber optic and LED lighting transforms each room into a fantasy land.
01:17	It’s D-Day in Lapland, and the first guests check into one of the most amazing hotels on the planet. It’ll only be open for 3 months. Then, it will melt.
01:30	Before it does, 12,000 guests will stay here for at least one night. Tens of thousands more will visit for a day.
01:39	This is literally a once-in-a-lifetime experience, because in just a few months’ time, all this would have melted to nothing.
01:57	Experience a bar where the drinks don’t come with ice; they come on ice and in ice. Every glass is made of the same ice as the hotel.
02:14	In the nearby ice factory, the ice lathes are working full-time to create thousands of these one-use-only ice glasses.
02:23	In a single season, around 800 tons of Torne River ice will be turned into these glasses – nearly a million in total. They’re used, then they melt.
02:39	Just as everything here will eventually melt. To its creators, the ice hotel is not so much a building; it’s an inspiration that’s frozen once a year...
02:50	...shines briefly, then returns to nature from whence it came.

The Youngest Grocer in America - Video yappr

aqui tienen otro video que les ayudara a aprender ingles de forma divertida. Este video trata de un joven de 17 años que compro un mercado central de la calle Minnesota y actualmente se ha convertido en el negociante mas joven de EEUU. Aqui esta el video y abajo los subtitulos igual que los otros videos ... y al final he puesto un glosario para que les ayude con algunas palabras

00:06 -Mary, did you find everything okay? -He puts in hours like he owns the place. -Okay… 00:11 -He’s always here I don't know when he goes to school. -Greets customers like he owns the place. 00:16 -He sacks everything up and he takes it to my car. -Mostly because he owns the place! 00:21 People really appreciate that, and that’ll keep my customers comin’ back. 00:25 Can I talk to you later? This isn’t a real good time. 00:27 Seventeen-year-old Nick Graham just bought the Main Street Market in Truman, Minnesota. He may be the youngest grocer in America. 00:36 -When you first bought the place, did you know how to run a grocery store? -No I have – to tell you the truth, I’ve never went grocery shoppin’ before. 00:45 Nick saved the money mostly from working around his uncle’s turkey farm. The down payment on the grocery store was more than $10,000… 00:54 …money that could have gone towards a college tuition; could have gotten him out of here. 01:00 This community has been struggling for the past, uhm…past few years; it’s kinda been in a downward spiral, and I –I didn’t wanna see that continue. 01:09 So when the town’s only grocery store closed earlier this year, Nick felt his calling. 01:15 I’m here hopefully to make a profit, but I’m – I’m not here for that in and of itself; I’m here because this community needs me to be here. 01:24 And maybe he needs them right back. Nick’s dad died when he was four, and his mom has since moved out of the state. 01:31 He now lives with his grandma, Dorothy. 01:33 I was not for it right away, and finally I decided just let him go. I was worried for him. But, he turned out fine. 01:39 -And the town was so behind him once he got going. -They’re all coming… 01:43 Today, just about everyone in town is a regular. Shopping out of town would be heresy. Some people even volunteer stocking the shelves. 01:52 -It gives the whole community a sense of confidence. -It lets Truman know that Truman is gonna stay here. 01:58 It is a time when people realize that to succeed, we all have to work together. 02:04 Hope. It’s what’s on special this week at the Main Street Market in Truman, Minnesota. 02:11 And last thing – can we have just a little sample of your DNA so we can clone you? No, I’m serious. 02:17 And then we’ll have one of you in every little town in America. So just a little sample of hair or something like that. 02:22 -Yeah. -Is that okay? -Yeah, that’d be fine. -Okay. 02:27 -His next goal is to try to find Truman a pharmacist. And to graduate, of course. -He’s so dear. He really is a hometown hero, isn’t he? 02:34 -He’s a great kid. But he’s a businessman, too. He makes his grandma pay full price for groceries. -Good for him! That’s funny.
