Hey what's up guys welcome to Trending Reviews, so today I've picked up the Honor Play, it's the latest phone by Huawei, it's a follow-up from the Honor 10, I'm going to give you a quick unboxing and a general review of the specifications, the camera and so on, so let's get straight into it, okay just before I start I'd like to mention that Honor Play sent me this protective lightweight case for the phone which I think is really good, it comes Honor branded, it's in navy blue, the phone itself is in navy blue as well so I'm going to be putting that on afterwards, so let's go ahead with the unboxing, so let's take that out, so we have here the phone, nice navy blue color there, dual camera and a fingerprint sensor on the back, so just put that to the side, got some Honor Play stickers, see that there, right now they also provide a clear case, you've got the user guide, warranty information, just put it on the side, I like the fact that Huawei actually do this with most of their phones, they provide a clear case and a protective screen cover as well, so if you want to use the silicone clear case you can, otherwise you can use more of the hard case instead if that's what you prefer, so we have that, inside you've got the SIM card tray opener in there and then you have the plug, the charging cable, USB type C and you have some headphones as well, these resemble a tiny bit like the Apple AirPods, I think they might be really comfortable as well so I'm definitely going to give these a shot with other phones as well, so let's go ahead and have a look at the phone itself, right just taking a look at the phone it's in navy blue, I've got the 64 gigabyte model, it's a 6.3 inch screen, it comes with 83 percent screen to body ratio which I think is pretty good, it does have a notch, not as big as a notch as let's say the iPhones or some of the other phones but then again you can turn that off if that's what you prefer, so I'm going to turn off the notch because that's my preference and I will just be showing you the phone with that off, there we go now the screen density is 409 ppi which is slightly less than on a 10s 432 ppi, it comes with 8.1 Oreo and it has a silicone Kirin 970 GPU processor and the phone also comes with a micro SD card slot so you can expand the storage up to 256 gigabytes, so at the bottom you have your stereo speakers the USB Type-C charging port and you do have the headphone jack as well, on the back you have the fingerprint scanner right there in the middle, you've got your dual cameras out up here, now in terms of the main cameras you have the primary one which is the 16 megapixel f2.2 camera and the secondary one which is the 2 megapixel with f2.4 which is used as the depth sensor, the front camera is also 16 megapixels but it's f2.0, the back camera can record 1080p and 2160p at 30 frames per second, the front camera can record video at 1080p at 30 frames per second only, now it does come with a 3750 milliamp hour battery life which is pretty good in terms of the market today, I think my Samsung S9 is roughly around that same size so they've got some really good competition in terms of the battery life, I think that's really good from the on a play, it's a slightly better battery life than the previous phone on a 10 so that's a real plus point there, the phone itself comes in five different colors, this one is the navy blue but you can also get this in midnight black, in violet, in the player edition red and the player edition blacks and not all countries will be selling those colors so you do have to check your local phone shop for the listings, ultimately the main thing that stands out from this phone is the price point, now a lot of the phones out there are going for the budget option targeting the mass market for flagship phones for the cheapest costs, now this is £279 if you can pay that to something like the iPhone 10 which is almost £1000, it's such a massive difference, now as the name suggests the on a play is made for playing games, it comes with a GPU turbo mode which actually speeds up your phone for high-end gaming to make sure there's no lag, there's no problems and it continues to play faster by removing some of the background apps which I think is really good but overall if you are on a budget and you're looking for one of the top-end phones then definitely check this phone out, I'll leave all the links in the description below. Alright guys so thanks for watching that was just a really quick overview of the phone I think in my own opinion it's one of the best phones out there for less than £300, if you really are on a budget then I would definitely recommend checking out Huawei they do really good phones, check out the on a play if you're into gaming it's like the perfect phone, if you have any questions then please do let me know I will be doing a comparison with the camera and various other features of this phone compared to the previous one that came out by Huawei which was the on a 10 then make sure you subscribe I've got that video coming out very soon other than that if you have any questions let me know please do check out my Instagram at trending reviews I'll be taking some more photos with the on a play and putting them up there other than that I'll see you next time take care guys


Welcome traders to another Tick-Nill-Charsec with me Patrick Munney. Looking at the Aussie dollar here on the four hour timeframe, we're in the process of carving out a corrective pattern, a complex corrective pattern at this point. I'm looking for price to extend up into this 77 zone three-wave corrective move to set short positions, keep watching for bullish reversal patterns into this 77 area and then I'm targeting the 74.66 which is the equality objective of this WXY pattern before we should see bulls step back into the market in and around those levels. I'll be using a protective stop on this trade or an invalidation level on a close back through 77.60 which is the monthly pivot. As always traders, plan the trade, trade the plan, most importantly I there's your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


So it's been a really long time since I've spoken at what some call Linux, some call GNU-Linux, let's say GNU-Linux conference. Indeed, it was 2006, the last time I spoke at an event like this, and at that time I was just finishing a second version of my book, Code, and I want to take the inspiration of that to set the theme for two ideas that will mark the introduction. First, this idea of code, and second, the idea of clues. Clues. So here's the idea of code. Four stories. Three from East Coast Code, and one about West Coast Code. So East Coast Code, what we typically refer to as law, West Coast Code, what we typically think of as technology, the stuff that happens out here, mainly north from here, but okay. So here's East Coast Code. Three stories. Number one about copyright. So I became an activist in the field of copyright on October 27, 1998, when the president signed into a law a work in honor of this great American, the Sunny Bono Copyrights Term Extension Act. Now what the Sunny Bono Act did was extend the term of existing copyrights by 20 years. 20 years. Basically, every time Mickey Mouse is about to pass into the public domain, magically the copyright term gets extended. And the question that Congress was to be asking as it extended the term of existing copyrights by 20 years was, did it advance the public good to extend the term for an existing copyright? Copyrights were important to create incentives for people, artists, to have the incentive to create great new works. But what we know about incentives, at least in this universe, not in Star Trek, but in this universe, is that incentives are prospective. They're about what happens in the future. So no matter what the United States Congress does, it can't get George Gershwin to produce anything more. So when you ask the question, does it make sense to extend the term of an existing copyright? It's a pretty obvious answer, indeed, when we challenged the statute in the Supreme Court and we had a brief signed by 13 economists, including five Nobel Prize winners, including this liberal, wait, I'm sorry, this is Milton Friedman, right-wing Nobel Prize winner. Friedman said he would sign the brief only if the word no-brainer was somewhere in the brief. So obvious was it that you couldn't advance the public good by extending the term of existing copyrights. But apparently there were no brains in this place when Congress unanimously extended the term of existing copyrights. What there was was more than $6 million in contributions from the Disney corporations and other interests eager to see their copyrights extended, the public good be damned. That's story number one. Story number two, spectrum. It's the reality about spectrum all around the world that spectrum is regulated. We were told it has to be regulated. We were told this by a lawyer, so we know it must be true. Murphy explaining in the case of NBC versus US, owing to its physical characteristics, radio, unlike the other methods of conveying information, must be regulated and rationed by the government, otherwise there would be chaos. And radio's usefulness would be largely destroyed. So physics gave spectrum over to the Politburo, that's called the FCC. And what the FCC then did is allocate spectrum out according to its judgment about who got to use spectrum in the right way according to their sense of what made sense. Now 16 years after this decision, a future Nobel Prize winning economist, Ronald Kos, looked at this and was puzzled and said, why should spectrum be granted as some sort of government privilege? Why don't we treat spectrum like every other resource, every other scarce resource, and just turn it into property? Sort of thing we could just sell. So instead of being allocated, there would be owners of spectrum, different owners who would buy it according to their judgment about what's the best way to use the spectrum. And that way we could, according to Kos, have a much more efficient, must-less political allocation of this resource. Now my view is that no doubt, Kos's idea would have been much better assuming that this was the only technology for using spectrum, broadcast in loud structures like this. If that was the technology, then probably Kos was right. But 18 years before Kos wrote his famous paper, the really ingenious idea was thought of by this person, Hedy Lamar, who, still they're Hedy fans, this is perfect. Only in this room I guarantee you, but okay. Hedy, who came up with a different way to think about allocating spectrum and got a patent in 1941 for it, a patent which was secret because the government determined that this was such an incredibly cool way to use and allocate spectrum. Nobody could know about it. This idea was that we would share spectrum, that there would be a spectrum commons. And with George Antiel, she patents this idea to make it so that spectrum could be allocated not by law, not by property, but by technology. There would be no reason to license if her system could work. No reason to own, instead the code would figure out how best to use. Now, how would this work? Well, it was hard to explain this idea, even circa 2000. It was in that time, still people had this intuition about the way spectrum works, where it collides and crashes. But today's people's intuition's pretty clear about this because this is the technology of spectrum tools like Wi-Fi. These are protocols, code, for enabling the spectrum space to be used by many different devices without anybody deciding who gets to use what based on privilege given by the law. The code in this sense is in the law. And some believe, like David Reed, that depending on the way that we allocate this spectrum, we can actually have more capacity, the more users we have. So that this has a potential to be an increasing resource as demand increases for it. And so therefore, obviously an incredible facility for allocating and making use of this important resource. Now, when I wrote my book Future of Ideas in 2001, nobody really knew what the right answer was for how to allocate spectrum. The conventional wisdom about 2001 was that we should engage in some experimentation, try different models out, see which way would work. So between the model of Stalin, the model of Kost, and the model of Eddie Lamar, the idea was we should be chunking up the spectrum and seeing which worked best, which encouraged the most innovation, which was the most efficient way to be using spectrum. But since that time, the idea, the debate, has evolved in one direction only, in the direction of spectrum property. Because as the lobbyists have moved the policy makers in this fight, a very obvious question has been asked in Washington and again and again. Who's gonna make money with free spectrum? Unfree spectrum has become the new normal for how DC thinks about what we should be doing with spectrum. Ideas be damned, evidence be damned, good public policy be damned. That is the direction the policy makers would push us. And then one final example, broadband. So this is a technical legal term, but broadband in the United States sucks. If you look at any number of ways to rate broadband around the world, the United States is way, way down there. And to the left is bad, to the right is good, and what's embarrassing here is that France is even better than we are in broadband.  And the worst state in the nation for some bizarre reason turns out to be North Carolina. North Carolina is dead last in the number of homes able to access internet speeds at the FCC's definition of broadband, which I think it's 200 kilobits or so, whatever. But the point is it's really bad. Now when you ask why is access to broadband so bad, in every case it's the same answer, monopoly power. There is little competition in the United States, poor competition in some places, no competition. And what that yield is really sucky broadband. And indeed just this week we saw evidence that it was because of the lack of competition we had such sucky broadband. Because when Google announced that they were gonna add their super broadband in Austin, all of a sudden Time Warner discovered that they could be offering 300 megabits per second in Austin. Something they said nobody wanted and that they couldn't do instantly, they were able to do once Google challenged them. Now when you look at a problem like this, this is a pretty obvious solution. If the problem is a lack of competition, what we need is more competition. And indeed that was the objective of the 1996 Telecommunications Act. Back in those days there were two ways to get broadband over cable and over twisted pair DSL. And for DSL there was an open access requirement. Meaning competitive ISPs could connect to the head end and then offer services over the wires. So there would be competition to drive prices down and hopefully drive quality up. But by 2000, the open access requirement had been removed for DSL. So there was no open access requirement in our infrastructure. And so competition from that point on was dead. The response in many places around the country and in North Carolina was for communities to try to create competition. By muni broadband services being built to provide broadband locally in a much more efficient cost effective way than the cable monopolies were willing to do it. So in North Carolina for example, this is the graph that compares the traditional cable offerings, which of course are asymmetric and extremely expensive and very slow with the muni broadband which are symmetric and much less expensive for very, very fast service. So they were beginning to demonstrate that these munis could actually compete and provide really fast efficient broadband service. So what was the response to this response? North Carolina introduced a bill called the Leveling the Playing Field Local Government Competition Act that said competition was to be blocked. The Republican legislature passed the bill and then there's a furious campaign to get the Democratic Governor to veto it. H129 was the law that tried to get her to veto it. There are thousands of calls, resolutions across the state by local municipalities that said this is our lifeline. We need the ability to provide broadband. The result, she let the bill pass without her signing it. So the bill became law. And when she issued her non-signing statement, this is what she said, there's a need to establish rules to prevent cities and towns from having an unfair advantage over providers in the private sector. Poor, time, orner. An unfair advantage. No, what's unfair about a government recognizing that provision of a critical infrastructure is not being made? And what's unfair about them responding to that, to defend their citizens, to provide for their citizens this critical infrastructure? Is it unfair if the city provides street lamps? Or if it builds highways, when of course private companies could be building highways? Or if it builds bridges? Because of course we could go back to the old days where bridges were privately owned and there were tolls on every single bridge. All of this is possible, but to say it's unfair is obviously ridiculous. No, it is not unfair for the state to support infrastructure, like the internet. Public support is essential, and it's not unfair, it's absurd to say it's unfair. So why give the North Carolina legislature and 20 other legislatures across the United States so far? Ban competition for local municipalities? Well, this fantastic organization, National Institute on Money in State Politics, did a nice little study. What they found was that supporters and leaders in the local legislature received 76% and 533% respectively.  Leading them through the path to blocking competition. Okay, those are the stories of East Coast Code. And I wanna tell you one story about West Coast Code.  Interesting how old we're getting. Okay, so here it is, 20 years ago this June, Intel engineers announced that there was a flaw in the Pentium chip. A flaw deep down in the core of the SRT algorithm to calculate intermediate quotients necessary for iterative floating point divisions. Yeah, I read that. There was a flaw, and the error meant, of course, that there was a certain probability that results of the calculations would be an error. The probability, one in 360 billion, that was the probability. So that meant for an ordinary spreadsheet, once every 27,000 years, you're likely to manifest that kind of flaw, which of course is about 26,996 years after the file format made it impossible for you to access the file anyway. But okay, there was going to be a problem sometimes for these different uses of this Intel Pentium chip. Now when this was announced, total outrage everywhere about the idea that the chip was flawed. This flaw, this error, this mistake at the core of the OS of this chip was outrageous, people like you said. And you're not going to stand by quietly as Intel put at risk fantasy baseball spreadsheets. It was not going to be allowed. So there was a revolution all across the world, people gathered to protest. Okay, that's not true really, but okay. There was this incredible activist movement, people rose up and demanded that Intel fix the flaw and Intel set aside almost one and a half a billion dollars to cover chip replacements. And millions of people took the step of replacing their Pentium chips to deal with the flaw to fix the flaw. So here, billions were spent, total value of the time spent here for a problem that would inflict itself maybe one out of 360 billion times there was a calculation with the machine. Okay, that's the model of the East Coast code versus West Coast code. I want you to keep in your head for a second. Now I'm going to shift to clues. So this is a poet you don't know you know, but you do know him. His name is Martin E. Merler. He was a German pastor and theologian born in the late 19th century in Lippstadt, Germany. And around 1946, he started uttering a verse that's quite familiar. He said, first they came for the communist and I did not speak out because I was not a communist, then they came for the socialist and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist, then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist, then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew, then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. Okay, so what Neymar is demonstrating is a certain kind of insight, A kind of insight at the core of what we could think of as intelligence, or maybe we'll just call it cloufulness. Cloufulness. It's a certain kind of test. Can you recognize an underlying threat to your kind and respond? Can you recognize it and save yourself? Turns out ants are pretty good at it. Cows not so much. Not so much. The question is, can you see the pattern, the pattern, and recognize it and do something about it? Now, Henry David Thoreau thought it was rare. He wrote, there are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root, the root meaning the thing you should recognize, the pattern that was explaining all of these things that were happening. So the question I want to ask here tonight is, can we see the pattern? Can we see the pattern? And can we find a way to respond? That's the clues. Here's the introduction. That's the argument. So just about seven years ago, a friend, an incredibly sweet boy, Aaron Swartz, someone I knew for 12 of his last 12 years of his life, came to visit me. And so Aaron wanted to make me a little bit more clueful. He came to the 23rd Chaos Computer Conference in Berlin. I was at the American Academy in Berlin that year. So we spent the afternoon and evening walking and talking, and the focus of his conversation was a single question. He said to me, so how are you ever going to achieve progress in the things that I was working on that? So I just had finished Code Version 2, I was working on the remix, all of these policy fights about copyright and internet policy. He said, how are you ever going to make progress in those areas? So long as there's this corruption in our political system, he kind of stumped me, classic for Aaron question, to stump you, but there it was, he stumped me. My initial response was, look, Aaron, it's not my field, not my field. And he said, yeah, I get it, as an academic, it's not your field. Is that what you mean? And I said, yeah, that's it. It's not my field. It's for other people, I work on IP policy, copyright and cyber law policy. He said, OK, but as a citizen, not as an academic. Now that single question Aaron asked me changed my life. And that was Aaron's style. He wouldn't ever say, get a clue, he would just ask a question. And the meaning of the question was, get a clue. That single question changed my life because at that moment, after that exchange, I realized that he obviously was right, that in every single area that I cared about in IP policy and technology policy, and not just in the esoteric areas of copyright, but in every other area of policy that I cared about, the system of our government evolved to a place where interest had the power always to block reform, to block reform. And I realized I had been clueless about the way this corruption, as he described it, had evolved. So that summer, at the ICOMN summit, I announced to the community, stunned the community by announcing that I had decided, there's no pictures of it, this is in second life. This is my speech in second life. It really happened in real life, but we don't have any pictures. I don't know why. But OK, I announced to the community that I was giving up IP as in I was not going to work on copyright anymore, and I was not going to work on internet policy, and I was going to focus my work on what Aaron had described, this focus on corruption. Now it was a good time for this kind of focus. Just at the same time, candidate Obama was challenging candidate Clinton on exactly this issue. He was saying we need to take up the fight, the fight to change the way Washington works. Famous speech he said, if we're not willing to take up that fight, then real change, change that will make a lasting difference in the lives of ordinary Americans, will keep getting blocked by the defenders of the status quo. Yeah, blocked by the defenders of the status quo. So he gave us this beautiful font, Change. It's a beautiful font. It's called Gotham. It's a great font. It's expensive, but OK, Change. When I was committed to the idea, Change was the challenge. But not just the president, Aaron and I then decided we were going to create a parallel organization. We called it Change Congress. And the objective of this organization, he was on the board, was to build this cross-partisan movement to focus on this roots, cross-partisan movement to get a political system to get a clue. The clue about what John McCain had called in 2000, the quote, system of corruption that makes it impossible for this government to function, to get people to recognize that until we fix this, we fix nothing, that this was the most important problem. Now, it was a lot of fun building and working on this organization with him, with Aaron. It was an incredible team in addition to him. Joe Trippi, who ran Howard Dean's campaign, Air dropped in a staffer who wanted to run the campaign for me to run for Congress. I refused to run, but he stayed around to work on Change Congress. And there was this team of people, Aaron, Adam Green, and Stephanie Taylor, who were the core behind this organization, Change Congress. And then with the president, won the siren call for the progressives to march out and start their own progressive organization, became irresistible. I wanted a cross-partisan organization. I was not interested in an organization focused on what the left cares about. I was interested in an organization, tries to speak to everybody, but they said, this is our chance. We've got a new progressive president. He's going to make it possible for us to get climate change and health care reform and every single thing we've been looking for, he's going to deliver it for us. So the core team left, and they started this group called Progressive Change Campaign Committee, or BOLD Progressives, described by Ed Shultz as the most important progressive organization in America today. Aaron was the founding board member of that, and then Aaron split off and started a different group called Demand Progress. Now the work of those organizations was critically important, at least for us progressives. And critically important for net freedom. They were behind the organization that eventually led to the defeat, the incredible defeat of the so-called PIPA legislation. But those organizations were critically incomplete because they were not yet focused on this core flaw in the chip inside this government. They were not focused, or at least not yet focused on this root. And I remember I teased Aaron about this mercilessly.  That's what he was doing. Like, this was the sexy, fun, new thing, the progressive organization, but I knew, I believed, and I think he knew and believed that someday he would return to that fight. And we were wrong. We didn't get a chance to return to that fight. He was on the way back to that fight, to the fight that he believed was the only fight that really matters. He got tripped by a system of justice that has gone insane and in the incredible depression of seeing two years of his life and all of his resources sucked up in this battle with a government that made no sense. Only a year and a month and ten days ago, today, he took his life. So I'm here because he sent me. I'm here with a clue. I'm here with something Aaron gave me and I want to give it to you, what Aaron made me recognize when he got me to see this critical flaw in the chip inside this government, one that corrupts this government.  Every single time, the framers of our constitution didn't give us a democracy. They gave us what they called a republic. By a republic, they meant a representative democracy. And by a representative democracy, they meant a government that would have a branch that would be, quote, dependent on the people alone. So here's the model of government. You've got the people, you've got the government, do my own slides, it's cool that bounces like that. Okay, so the people and the government. And exclusive dependence, but here's the problem, we've allowed a different dependence to evolve. Dependence on the funders of campaigns too. This is a dependence too. Members of Congress and candidates for Congress spent anywhere between thirty and seventy percent of their time raising money to get back to Congress or to get their party back to power. And what we have to do is to think about what does it do to them as they sit there dialing for dollars, calling people across the country to raise the money they need to get their party back into power. B.F. Skinner, again, is this image of the Skinner box, you know, I could have had a rat, but I was kind. So I put a pigeon here in the Skinner box.  We need to recognize this is a picture of the modern American congressperson. As they sit there and learn the buttons they need to push every single day so they can learn how they get the sustenance they have, they require in order to survive. This is their life and this is what it produces. It produces a dependence, a dependence that's different and conflicting from a dependence on the people alone, at least so long as the funders of campaigns are not the people. Just to be clear, the funders of campaigns are not the people. The people they're calling 30 to 70% of the time represent 0.05% of America. About 150,000 Americans are the people being called by these people as they sit there for 30 to 70% of their time, 150,000. The internet tells me that's about the same number of people as are named Lester in the United States right now, which is why in my TED talk I described America as Lester land. That's where we live. Lester land. Now the thing to recognize, it doesn't take a PhD in psychology to recognize that as they do this they develop a sixth sense, a constant awareness about how what they do will affect their ability to raise money. They become in the words of the X-files, shapeshifters, as they constantly adjust their views and what they know will help them to raise money. Not an issue is 1 to 10, but an issue is to 11 to 1,000. Leslie Burn, a Democrat from Virginia, describes that when she went to Congress, she was told by a colleague quote, always lean to the green than to clarify she went on, he was not an environmentalist. Now this is a corruption, a corruption of the system the framers intended us to have. Here's how we should see it. United States today has two elections. I don't mean the primary election and the general election. United States today has two elections.  It's a discrete event that happens on two days every election cycle. But in addition to that discrete election, there's a continuous election that happens 24-7 between one election and the next. That's called the money primary, the money primary. In the voting election, all citizens get to vote if you're over 18, in some states if you have an ID. In the money primary, it's the relevant funders who get to vote. The relevant funders who are called up 30 to 70% of the time spent by these members calling them to get them to fund their campaigns. And the structure of this democracy is to be allowed to run in the voting election, you must do well in the money election. You don't necessarily have to win, there is Jerry Brown, but you must do extremely well. Or at least you believe you must do extremely well, which drives you to spend all that ridiculous time raising money from this tiniest, tiniest fraction of the 1%. Now, this is not the first time we've had an election structured like this in United States history. Until the 1940s in the Old South, there were two elections, too. It was a general election and there was a white primer. In the general election, all the citizens got to vote. In the white primary, at least in the Democratic Party, only whites got to vote. Only whites got to vote. And just as with the money primary, in order to run in the general election, you had to do well in the white primary. And guess what? People who appealed to non-whites in the white primary didn't typically do very well. Now, the point you recognize is this structure, which we all recognize is an abomination to democracy, is exactly the structure of our democracy today. But unlike in the Old South, where the white primary was a primary where 88% of the population could participate, in the money primary, it's only 0.05% of America that gets to participate. It's the tiniest minority who gets to set the agenda, who gets to determine what issues will be set for the general election by their dramatic influence in the money primary. This is a republic. It's a republic corrupted. This is the reality that we have to see. It's the reality of this democracy. So I'm here to do what he did seven years ago. I'm here to recruit you to this cause of cluefulness, to the cause of changing us from cows into ants, of building an awareness necessary to save this republic. Now you'll tell me, not your field. It's not your field. And I get it, as technologists, it's not your field. But as citizens, as citizens. Now I'm not asking you to devote your life to it, the way Aaron asked me to devote my life to this. I'm not as persuasive as he is. But I am asking for some cycles, for some cycles. Your 20% time, or maybe your 10% time. I don't know, you tell me what it is. But there is a movement out there that has enormous needs which you uniquely can provide, the obvious ones, the technical needs. This is a movement that will only succeed if we find a way to knit together people in a different model from the television advertising model of politics today. That is meat for your skill. And this movement is starved for people with your skill who can figure out how to make this work. Desperately needs this type of skill. Offered by people who genuinely believe in the cause as opposed to people who are just trying to get rich. But more important than the technical is it needs you as citizens.   What it needs is people who have not been engaged. Who have not yet been engaged because frankly your time is better spent not worrying about government. I get it.  Totally rational. But we are at a point where we can't afford that anymore.  Because this is one of those rare incredibly rare issues. Where it actually is not controversial. We did a poll at the end of last year. We asked how important is it to you that the influence of money in politics be reduced? 96% of America, 96% of America said it was important. 68% said it was very important. Making it the number one issue on this poll of the important issues for the government to address. But if you turn to the pundits and you ask them, what about this issue? They'll say, look, America doesn't care about this issue. They will never vote on the basis of this issue. They'll never demand that a politician address this issue. They'll never pick one politician over another politician on the basis of this issue. And the more I've looked at this, the more I'm convinced that the pundits are wrong. And it turns out this is the first time ever that they've been wrong. But the pundits are wrong and here's the clue. We asked them just after the question I just showed you where 96% said that they want money, influence of money to be reduced. How likely is it that the influence of money in politics will be reduced? 91% said it's not likely. So 96% wanted, 91% says it's not likely. What that produces is the politics of resignation, which is where we are today. So look, think about flying like Superman. I think at least 96% of us would really want to fly like Superman. But 91% at least believe that's not possible, which explains why we don't typically fling ourselves from the top of buildings. We accept the fact that this is just not our future. And we live our life accepting this fact. But if you begin to thaw that resignation, if you begin to give people a reason to hope that in fact there was something that could be done here, you could unleash an incredible amount of energy and passion to do something about that. And that was the challenge that a year and a month and 10 days ago I realized I had to take up when Aaron died. What could we do to crack that pessimism? So when I was thinking about this anniversary of his death, I thought to myself, what I wanted to do was to do something that was as physically miserable as the last year had been emotionally miserable. So we started this organization called The New Hampshire Rebellion. And inspired by this incredible woman, Doris Haddock, aka Granny D. So exactly 15 years ago this month, or last month, January 1st, 1999, started not far from here at the age of 88 and walked across the United States with the sign campaign finance reform on her chest. It took her 13 months. She arrived at the age of 90 having walked 3,200 miles for the cause of raising awareness about this issue. Now, we don't have 13 months, but I thought, what could we do that would be similar, but more painful? So we organized a march from the tip of New Hampshire to the bottom, starting in Dixville Notch, which is where the presidential primary in 2016 will start ending in Nashua. And we started that march on January 11th, the day Aaron died. And for two weeks, we marched across the state. Total of 212 people participated in the march. We walked a total of 6,412 miles twice as much as Granny D did. And as we marched across that state, there were thousands of people who came out to engage with us about this issue.  Passionate, passionate about this issue, desperately finding a way to crack the resignation that all the pundits say is there. And when you begin to think about the numbers, there's a reason to be hopeful that this could be cracked. I mean, you think about the state of New Hampshire, which is the critical state in the primary process in America. There's only 1.1 million people in New Hampshire, 750,000 voters. But if you look at the actual election, in 2008, the difference between Clinton and Obama was 8,000 votes. The difference between Romney and Ron Paul in 2012 was 40,000 votes. So this is an incredibly manageable project, the project of, let's say, isolating, identifying 50,000 people in New Hampshire who say, this is my issue, the number one issue that I will focus on, this is the issue that I will demand every candidate address. And so what the objective we have in New Hampshire is, is to weave a briar patch through the state so that no candidate can go anywhere without catching him or herself on someone who demands that they answer one single question. What will you do to end the system of corruption in Washington? And as those questions are asked, they will be captured on film and we will post them and ask people to critique them on an incredible, collective project to raise awareness around this issue and shift the focus of New Hampshire voters to this one cause. Every single newspaper in New Hampshire followed what we did and every single major newspaper wrote a bed saying, this had to be New Hampshire's issue. So you think about the objective with the aspirations that your projects have. The objective of just identifying 50,000 people. It's trivial for you, trivial for you. It's the sort of thing you guys do on a weekend, trivial. But if we did it, imagine the shape shifting then. Imagine the shape shifting of candidates as they began to think, I only get through New Hampshire if I address this issue successfully. And then imagine how that shifts the potential, the hope for the rest of that presidential campaign. So we walked and in 2015 we will walk again. We have a goal of 1,000 people in 10 different routes across the state and in 2016 leading up to the primary, we will walk again. And we will walk again and again until this state resonates with this idea and makes this the issue and until this objective of finding 50,000 seems like a very small objective because it's more than 50,000, it's 100,000 who have identified this as the issue. This is just one idea. An idea motivated by this incredibly sweet boy who once had a life which was your life.  And then decided, however cool, however great, how incredibly powerful your life was, however powerful and great that was. That life was not enough. The he as a citizen had to do something more. And Ben Franklin was carried from the Constitutional Convention in September of 1787. He was stopped in the streets of Philadelphia and asked by a woman, Mr. Franklin, what have you wrought? And Franklin said, a Republic, madam, if you can keep it. A Republic. A representative democracy. A government dependent on the people alone. There is no doubt, but that we have lost that Republic. Now I get it. It's not as important as a flaw in the Pentium ship. It is more important than a flaw in the Pentium ship. And we have to find a way to rally people to demand that we get it back. Thank you very much.


backs nightmares etc psychologists know pretty well how to process those images and sort of provide them to long term memory and thereby allowing people to decrease the frequency and duration of those events so we know how to deal with that but you're right it's difficult and we try to deter young people to look at social media and to see all this horrible scene that are absolutely abandonment you know it's really terrible absolutely evil not human at all doctor we're all hearing it's a long road ahead as we've been discussing there's much resilience there's much unity we are seeing there's a lot of support programs as well how important is it for people to band together it can make a major difference to the psyche of the country make people feel like they are in control this is absolutely important there is one factor that really prevent post-traumatic symptoms is social support social support has two factors first of all everybody share the same fear and the same concern and when people really get closer together hug each other be kind to each other we see a lot of this phenomenon in this society from flags that are being held in the street to people who come to other people get elderly and help them help even people that have dogs that cannot get their dogs out send you know packages that you can see in the photographs for the soldier all of this is really important both for the unity of the people as well as individually you don't want to be passive and you don't want to be helpless you want to do things with others that help the group itself so that the togetherness is an extremely important protective factors and resilience of our society and we have that all along this world and even before that Dr. Ronny Berger an absolute pleasure hearing your insights we so appreciate you from Tel Aviv thank you very much thank you and have a good and quiet I would say evening thank you Dr. Fadi Ismail your thoughts I loved everything that the good psychologist said there I'm a strong believer in the mind of a matter we have actually it's part of my research that's how I started researching the creation of mind sciences into operational planning with so many times that two different units that are equally trained and equally equipped with very similar tasks one of them performs very well the other one performs in a very mediocre way and it is true in so many fields and when you study it's all about the team spirit it's all about mental posture to say it in a little bit more technical terms I really love everything that the doctor said there I would really emphasize a point that he talked about is the connectedness of every individual to everything happening around them this feeling of being isolated or lonely or all by yourself the desert of your own thoughts that is not good what he suggested is that you volunteer there's so many ways to volunteer just go out talk to people even just be nice to people let them be nice back to you understand that you are not in this alone that creates a kind of cohesiveness and interconnectedness that really honestly lowers the possibility of post-traumatic stress disorder now it's the doctor in me talking and PTSD is no fun for me it is not and these kinds of advice should be taking very very seriously about children I have one child she sometimes comes and asks me because she sees things let them ventilate but also keep them busy let the brains work all the time on something else and always keep them connected touch each other talk to each other call each other and you know what maybe I'm probably in the wrong studio but the point is taken there is no doubt that young people watching repeated images and seeing the kind of barbaric attacks that were happening it's not normal that they happened it's certainly not normal to be watching them I recall 9-11 very vividly I was in California that morning and one of the things was that children for example kept on seeing the reruns of buildings being destroyed by airplanes keep on flying into buildings and then somebody figured out by the end of the day or after day or two that this is what they think is happening until somebody simply said hey just take them away from the room either shut off the set or take them out of the room because pay attention to those vulnerable minds that don't really have a context what's happening and we have learned since we evolved the science of psychology of disaster whatever the doctors said all this whole thing they said now this litany of thoughts is in a way a summary of many of those insights that we have collected in the last few decades The difference here very sadly is that unfortunately there have been many images because there have been thousands of such atrocities thousands of murders slaughtering of Israelis kidnapping, butchering etc etc beheading entire families therefore the Israeli public in the entire world was exposed to so many horror stories because there were just so many of them and so many of them that are documented as we can see now from that party and important to reiterate as we have already that this filming was done by the terrorists and yet about their work and calling their families enjoy mom I just killed 10 Jews with my own hands and yet there are still people questioning the details and the facts on the ground and again it is the terror group itself who was doing the recording I want to bring us up to speed on the latest developments on the ground Guy Azrael the West Bank Gaza at the same time what update can you share? Yes in the West Bank today a pretty rare daytime operation the IDF assisting the Shin Bet and special police forces taking down four senior terror operatives in the refugee camp of Tulkarem in the West Bank that included both the head of the military wing of Hamas and of the Fatah al-Aqsa Brigades in Tulkarem you can see those images right there and if we could hear as well there has been some extensive fire there by the IDF troops on that car with those operatives take a listen to this a very rare daytime operation we can hear that certainly and it was filmed from various angles a strong message from Israel to those terror groups are trying to kill Jews both in the West Bank and in other arenas according to the Shin Bet this group was responsible for dozens of attacks the planning of the planting of explosives and sending other terrorists into Israeli territory a daily work for the Israeli security forces as they try to keep that arena off the West Bank well quiet as much as we can as you already mentioned very sadly we lost one female border police officer this morning in Jerusalem in a stabbing attack different friends at the same time and it's something Fadi that Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to more broadly he spoke a little bit earlier in the day about the axis of terror he said it's led by Iran something we've been discussing it includes Hezbollah Hamas the Houthis and his words their other minions your assessment of the current threats right now guys describing the West Bank and Gaza right now but more broadly speaking when you look further afield including the Houthis there are plans to be watching at the same time if we're going bird's eye view actually the place to begin in my opinion the war is not really Israel Hamas it is right now this is a tactical point of focus but in large you have two major axes one of them is the American western axis that includes Sunni Arab states and Israel in this region and then you have the Iranian Iranian Shia and the Russian possibly China axis that and what separates them is an issue of hegemony over resources and passages critical passageways through the seas and land corridors and so on there's a very strong economic dimension to this we have to see it on a very high level so when Hamas did what he did on October 19th it shook action an international order that was shaping with the normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel which was critical to re-establish this western axis that would start from India throughout the Middle East to Europe that is critical to the European economy to western economy and to Asian economy in the southern part once Hamas did what he did in the service and under the orders of Iran but don't let anybody confuse it that issue this is an Iranian operation no matter how much they pretend it isn't they actually have caused this American effort a major major blow and that needs to come back I mean we have to be able to re to a stabilized situation and get back to that effort because as the Prime Minister said it is a global fight and that's what he means this is not just a fight it is the abstract ideas kind of aspect of it but there's a very real set of interest that are economic and security in nature and involve many countries and basically it's a war between axes in the world it's like almost what we used to talk about the east versus west that's almost like south versus north now if you look at the map and this is why when we talk about Iran we have all these forces I don't know why we didn't mention Iraq they have so many forces in Iraq they have this corridor from from Tehran all the way to there have so many stops in a way that where they have at least between 100,000 and 200,000 troops spread they're not bad troops they are very well trained some of them are former Iraqi forces many of them participated in the Civil Wars in the Middle East they're very well trained and very experienced and they have them throughout the corridor so it is a big issue and it has an international global context to it and we have to understand really honestly if you were going to talk about analytical approach to this issue over and above the global context there is the local context and you guys have details on one family who has found demand answers about what is happening in terms of the Hamas developments a Bedouin family bring us up to speed one of the Osama many victims of these terror attacks that we've seen on that Saturday or many Bedouin families, members of the Bedouin community in southern Israel and a family of one of those victims his name is Osama Abu Aisa has posted a video on social media and they're offering a prize of one million dollars to information regarding the terrorists who have slaughtered their family member they stripped him of his clothes they tortured him and then they slaughtered him and that was caught in the dashboard cameras of his car not that particular dashboard that we're seeing now we'll spare you those images as they're quite graphic and the brother of this Vectim Osama Abu Aisa he's saying we want to know who is responsible our mentality is blood vengeance we will reach the terrorists no matter where they are just one case of 1400 Israelis for the terrorists of Hamas they did not matter although they came to Israel because they searched for Jews but anyone on the way was a fair game a fair target any Israeli in this case a Bedouin man many foreign workers as well Thai people who were both slaughtered and kidnapped by Hamas on that deadly Saturday it did not matter they came they were evil that killing rampage more than thousands wounded senior editor Guy Israel thank you very much we've got more to discuss right now a very quick break when we get back our rolling coverage continues on breaking news edition month has passed since October 7th the day Israel was brutally attacked by Hamas a month since the black Sabbath when Hamas terrorists murdered over 1400 Israelis a month since the IDF entered a war against the vicious terrorist organization a month later I-24 news returns to the place where it all began join us on November 7th


Someone needs to stick it to those big talkin' phonies in Washington. Someone else. This campaign? It's not about me. It's about crafting a version of me that looks tough and rugged. A version of me that wears boots and jeans or whatever it is cowmen wear. A version of me that does hard work.  I've been in Congress 20 years. I know what it takes to get nothin' done. Doing the right thing. It's not always easy. That's why I don't. This candidate is just like you. If you're a Yale legacy with a Harvard law degree who never passed the bar, or won the approval of your father, I know the value of a hard day's work. 7.25 an hour. And I'll work hard to keep it that way. You know how the same party keeps winning their district over and over and over again? Well, 86% of elections are non-competitive due to jerrymen. So to coast into office, all I need to do is focus on winning that primary, sometimes with a little as 8% support. So even though 92% of you might hate my guts, as long as I play ball in the party, look tough to my base and take money from special interests, I keep getting elected, baby. So there's November.  Well, a big talkin' phony who doesn't even know what that means. Ka! Let's get crackin' America. I'm Gil Fogler and I approve this message.


Including universal design in the engineering curriculum. By including accessibility in universal design in engineering curriculum, you're making a statement to all the students that you're teaching that the perspectives and the needs of people with disabilities is something that they need to think about whether they're engineering specifically for that group or for any other group. I think it's really important that we train our new engineers to be versed in the area of universal design and accessibility so that when they create products for the companies that they will work for they'll be accessible and usable by people with disabilities and individuals with all kinds of different characteristics. As a creator of a technology you have the onus and responsibility to address the needs of a variety of end users. Universal design and related frameworks such as inclusive design, ability-based design and human-centered design encourage engineers to be proactive in considering the abilities of diverse users. Universal design is defined by the Center for Universal Design at North Carolina State University as the design of products and environments to be usable by all people to the greatest extent possible without the need for adaptation or specialized design. Universal design requires engineers to question any assumptions a design makes about its users. Engineering students who understand these concepts enter the workforce prepared to design for a wide variety of users. So just as we teach safety and material properties and dynamics within our engineering curriculum incorporating universal design can ensure that our future engineers consider those small design tweaks and consider the breadth of the population in their design and future innovation. Asking is this accessible or what are the accessibility implications then that is a practice that can follow them throughout their engineering career. Engineer Billy Price used his own life experience as a person with quadriplegia to design a line of shoes. It's an example of universal design. I don't have the ability to tie laces and I know when it comes to laces a common solution out there is to use Velcro but even if you overcome the laces you still have the physical issue of jamming your foot into the shoe. So staring at my feet for 18 years in other words like half a lifetime and not being able to put my shoes on I knew there had to be a better solution. The shoe that we've created yes it has adaptive characteristics but we're not marketing as an adaptive shoe. It's a shoe that's trendy it's a shoe that everyone's going to want to wear it's a shoe that will be in all the stores so anyone can buy it. The shoes have a unique zipper that runs along the outside edge of the shoe it opens like a clamshell. There are opportunities for universal design in thousands of consumer products and built environments that engineers help to design and build. Addressing these needs can improve the lives of individuals with disabilities and the general population. Engineering educators can help prepare their students to design for diverse abilities by introducing accessibility or universal design topics in a variety of ways. You could do maybe just part of a lecture or you could just do one lecture on it or several lectures not a whole course and then the third option is to develop a whole course on accessibility universal design. In a classroom when you're having a design challenge if you think about how could somebody who's older and has arthritis use this thing you're designing could a pregnant woman use this thing you've just created start asking those questions of could somebody who's colorblind use this? You're actually thinking about a more broad population and it's an easy way to sneak some ideas about universal design and creating a product that's more widely usable into what you're designing. University of Washington's Terrell Thompson created a web design curriculum for high school students that integrates accessibility into design considerations. Kids are learning to code web pages using all the languages that you use to code web pages HTML and CSS and JavaScript and they learn very early on some core design principles one of which is the need for accessible design and so they learn how people with disabilities access computers and access the web and what some of the challenges they face are and then as they're learning new techniques throughout the course they learn or they're sort of taught to ask how does this technique affect accessibility? But there are either ways that faculty can teach about disability, accessibility and universal design in their courses. I think capstone courses the purpose of them is to allow students to apply the skills that they've learned in a real world situation and so it can be a great opportunity for students to first of all understand that accessibility in universal design can address real world problems but also to allow the students to put some of the skills that they've learned into practice. I teach our senior design course which is a common year long course for engineering students that they take in their final year of their undergraduate and that really is a natural place for integrating topics of accessibility in universal design. We have students working on projects from designing an electric skateboard to figuring out the next medical product that can prevent collapsed lungs and in all of these components of universal design can enter to help them do user testing on a diverse set of users consider how small changes in their design can increase access or make a device easier to use. That for example might make it easier for an individual with a visual impairment or someone who has limited dexterity will actually make the product easier for everyone to use and so we inject universal design into our curriculum to encourage them to explore lots of different design spaces and hopefully ultimately have a better design. In my class I teach a biomechanics class and you know we talk about momentum and linear and angular momentum and I demonstrate how I use momentum to swing my arm to get my hand up onto the joystick of my wheelchair and so it's kind of trying to incorporate those type of examples in class. Giving students opportunities to meet and interact with people with disabilities is a great way to include it in the curriculum. So we found that the students learn so much through just having a space to sit down and talk frankly about issues surrounding accessibility, disability and some of the societal implications. By teaching accessibility and universal design in engineering courses faculty are producing engineers who can succeed in a competitive job market because they will be equipped to create products that are widely accessible to users with diverse abilities. Instructors can get started by including a panel of individuals with diverse abilities helping students to consider universal design and address disability related issues in design projects requiring that students adhere to accessibility guidelines when they create user interfaces or websites. If we want an accessible society with innovation that includes accessibility then students need to be taught about universal design and accessibility.
