Copy Videos from YouTube to Google Video Directly (or vice-versa)

transfer from youtube to google video

Hey!Spread today launched a new feature today that allows you to cross-post videos to that are already on the web - you could always do this by uploading videos from the hard-drive but this new method is about cross-posting videos that are already online.

In a nutshell, if you have clip of YouTube that you want to transfer to your MySpace, Google Video or DailyMotion account, you can do so easily with Hey!Spread. You just need the URL of the YouTube video and Hey!Spread will "spread" the video wherever you like.

Exercise to prevent Diabetes

Other groups have also reported on the beneficial effects of exercise in terms of prevention and treatment of diabetes. University of Missouri researchers found that diabetic rats given an exercise session lasting as little as 15 minutes had increased insulin sensitivity in muscle tissues. Since the majority of blood sugar ends up in muscle tissue, it is reasonable to assume that increased physical exertion would result in a greater uptake of sugar by muscle. This would in turn lower the total required amount of circulating insulin, since insulin concentration does increase when there is a slow rate of glucose clearance from the bloodstream.
