TED Talk5 tittle: What is the new technology for helping Alaskan children with hearing loss?

Susan Emmett, the presenter of the Ted talks program. she said, it was difficult for Alaskans to carry out their main activities such as fishing, deer hunting, berry harvesting and other activities important to Alaskans. As hearing loss in Alaska is not just limited to rural areas, it extends to all urban areas. Where she said in his speech "The Global Burden of Disease Project estimates there are 1.1 billion people living with hearing loss worldwide. That's more people than the entire population here in sub-Saharan Africa.”

Then she mentioned the story of a three-year-old boy he treated in Alaska his name was Anuk. As she said among his words Ear infections started when he was barely four months old. “Whereas his parents brought him to the clinic because he could not hear well. Whereas, if he is not treated at the earliest opportunity, it will be difficult for him to communicate with others and he will suffer from social isolation. If people with hearing loss are treated quickly, their lifestyle will improve after that.

After that, the presenter of the program began to introduce himself, saying "I'm an ear surgeon working with partners around the world on new pathways for hearing loss prevention. This solution comes from my collaboration with a tribal health organization called the Norton Sound Health Corporation." And from what she mentioned in his speech that the process of evaluating the hearing is a very complex process. It requires a lot of equipment. She began by examining Anuk first in a soundproof room under a microscope and then decided on his treatment plan. The tools needed to assess hearing are not available in areas that are far from health centers where many costs are required to reach the habits that assess hearing. Then the city of Alaska ran the Village Clinics with a group of specialists who triaged out health problems.

Doctors in Alaska developed a project aimed at examining patients with hearing loss in cooperation with a medical institute. They integrate medicine with mobile screening technology. As she mentioned in some of his speech, describing this new technology, saying " we are merging telemedicine with mobile screening technology that extends the reach of expert triage beyond health care settings. This cell-based screen, developed in South Africa, costs over 10 times less than traditional equipment and does not require advanced training.”

She used this method for treating Anuk in the school, where he examined Anuk's ears through earphones and used a telephone adapter instead of a microscope, and within minutes the examination was done and pictures were taken, then the Alaska telemedicine technique was applied.

As this new technology will lead to more care for children and reduce cost and time. As it is necessary for the world to develop hearing correction techniques in the world.

What is the first sport ever played?

Although it is impossible to know for sure, wrestling and boxing are often seen to be the first sports practiced each. Competitions using the simple human transport method, running, were among the first sports played.

The first appearance of boxing in history comes in some artifacts in Iraq, which originated from the third millennium BC. Similar effects have also been discovered in many countries of Asia. These engravings showed two men punching each other with their wrapped fists for the first time in a sport.

Ultimately ancient Greece boxing became a popular and advanced sport enjoyed by people. It was first introduced as an Olympic sport in the XXIII Olympiad in 688 BC. At the time, boxers used leather thongs to wrap their hands to provide protection.

The matches did not consist of rounds as we know them today. Instead, the fighters competed until someone admitted defeat or could no longer continue. There was no weight division, meaning men of all sizes could take on anyone, with larger competitors naturally dominating.

The battle was fought over a 24-square-foot ring, bounded by ropes on each side. When one of the fighters fell to the floor of the ring, the round ended. At that time, the injured boxer was taken care of at a ring corner during a 30-second break.

After a 30-second break, the opponents had to take their positions in the center of the ring and the next round would begin. If an opponent does not enter the center of the ring within eight seconds, the other winner will be declared. Forbidding insulting, quarrels, beating with the heads and legs, and beating the waist on a ring. All these actions were alleged to be inappropriate during the fighting in the ring.

The earliest evidence for the rules of the sport comes from ancient Greece. These ancient competitions did not rounds. They continued until a man admitted defeat by raising his finger or not being able to continue. Decisiveness (holding the opponent at close range with one arm or both) was strictly forbidden. The competitions were held in the open air, adding the challenge of intense heat and bright sunlight to the fighting. Contestants represent all social classes; In the early years of major sports festivals, boxers were predominantly from wealthy and privileged backgrounds.

TED Talk4 tittle: How the technology changed human’s life

Today Rebecca talked about herself and her life and how technology changed her life. Rebecca is a woman but she is different from others. She is deaf. She identified herself as cyborg. She said have 32 computer chips inside my head". Rebecca become as normal women with help of technology. She did what called cochlear implant.

Rebecca talked about her childhood and how difficult she was. She suffered some problems as she was a deaf person. She studied in regular schools. She faced some difficulties because of absence of technology. She said “my alarm clock was my sister who throw something at me to wake up". Rebecca used industrial - strength and sledgehammer volume to help her to hear.

Rebecca explained how hearing occurs. In ear, there is a small organ called coch which lined with some receptors called hair cells. So, when sound enters ear, hair cells send signals to the brain and interprets that as sound. Hair cells can damage by many reasons like (noise exposure, ordinary aging and illness). These problems are very common now. Rebecca said “about 5% of the world has significant hearing loss". In case of Rebecca, hair cells damaged before she born. Her mother exposed to a German measles.

Rebecca talked about her cochlear implant. She explained in details about the process and that making her hear. First, she showed that computer chips do the work of hair cells. Then she explained that her cochlear contains 16 electrodes in each ear. Those electrodes in combination send signals to brain and brain representing all sound in the universe. Rebecca said about her case" I have electronics inside and outside of my head including small processor, magnets in my skull and rechargeable power source. Radio waves transmit sound through the magnets.

Rebecca talked about the history of cochlear implant. Cochlear implant first got going in the 80s. It was very scary. In 2001, the procedure had evolved but the success rate was low maybe 50%. At first time, Rebecca wasn't having the courage to do cochlear implant but with time her hearing was going downhill fast and hearing aids were no longer helping. In 2003, Rebecca decided to do cochlear implant regardless of whether the ‬‬‬‬‬‬operation worked or not.

Rebecca talked about advantages of bionic body. She talked about four advantages of bionic body. First, she can turn it off anytime she wants. Second, bionic body doesn't age. Third, the external parts need replacement. Forth, she can stream music from iPod into head without earbuds. On the other hand, Rebecca talked about obestecals that she faced as a deaf person. She didn't like how a normal people see deaf people. She mentioned many stories happened with her that show how normal people see others who have disabilities. Rebecca explained her views in detail. We should have courage to change our life to the best. Also, we should deal with disable person as normal one.

How did the automobile industry evolve from the nineteenth century to now?

The automobile was to begin with designed and idealized in Germany and France within the late 1800s, in spite of the fact that Americans rapidly came to dominate the car industry within the to begin with half of the twentieth century. Henry Portage improved mass-production methods that got to be standard, and Portage, Common Engines and Chrysler risen as the “Big Three” auto companies by the 1920s. Producers funneled their assets to the military amid World War II, and a short time later vehicle generation in Europe and Japan taken off to meet developing request.

Once imperative to the development of American urban centers, the industry had gotten to be a shared worldwide undertaking with the rise of Japan as the driving automaker by 1980.

In spite of the fact that the vehicle was to have its most prominent social and financial affect within the Joined together States, it was at first idealized in Germany and France toward the conclusion of the nineteenth century by such men as Gottlieb Daimler, Karl Benz, Nicolaus Otto and Emile Levassor.

The 1901 Mercedes, outlined by Wilhelm Maybach for Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, merits credit for being the primary advanced motorcar in all basics.

Its thirty-five-horsepower motor weighed as it were fourteen pounds per drive, and it accomplished a beat speed of fifty-three miles per hour. By 1909, with the foremost coordinate’s vehicle plant in Europe, Daimler utilized a few seventeen hundred specialists to create less than a thousand cars per year.

Nothing outlines the prevalence of European plan superior than the sharp differentiate between this to begin with Mercedes show and deliver E. Old’s 1901-1906 one-cylinder, three-horsepower, tiller-steered, curved-dash Oldsmobile, which was just a motorized horse buggy. But the Old’s sold for as it were $650, putting it inside reach of middle-class Americans, and the 1904 Old’s yield of 5,508 units outperformed any car generation already fulfilled.

The central issue of car innovation over the primary decade of the twentieth century would be accommodating the progressed plan of the 1901 Mercedes with the direct cost and moo working costs of the Old’s. This would be overwhelmingly an American accomplishment.

TED Talk3 tittle: A simple ways to solve the problem of time poverty

Ashley Whillans is an assistance professor at Harvard business school. She talked about simple strategies to reclaim the time.

She believed that people concentrate about gaining money without taking care about the time they spend to gain it. She thought that people have more time poverty than before.

Ashley gave some facts to prove her ideas. She said that “over 80% of working American feeling time poverty”. She talked about how time poverty affects people's life and how it affects their happiness, social relationships and physical health.

She identified herself as a happiness researcher. She wrote about 150 pages to study the link between time poverty and unhappiness. From her study she believed that a time management is so hard.‬

Ashley gave some ideas to get more time. She advised people to take more attention to time than money. Also, she asked people to take bed vacation. In addition, she encouraged people to spend more time in activities that make them happy like socializing family and friends, volunteering and doing exercises. Add to that, she asked people to take at least a few minutes to do small things that make them happy. Finally, she advised people to manage their time.

Finally, in my opinion, most of us suffer from time poverty. As a student you should not spend our time in studying. You should spend more time in activities that make us happy.

The history of smoking and how it affected societies

In fact, smoking might represent folly and foolhardiness, but it is intangible qualities still encourage millions to smoke. The history of smoking dates back to 5,000 BC, and has been found in many different cultures around the world. In the past smoking used to be a part of religious ceremonies for example, making offering to the gods, ritual purification and other reasons.

The exploration and European conquest to Americas the tobacco smoking had spread rapidly throughout the world. On the other hand, in countries like India and some countries in Africa the tobacco smoking has been combined with Common smoking practices in these countries of which cannabis is the most Common but in Europe, smoking presented a new social activity and unknown kind of drug abuse.

In recent times and mainly in industrialized western countries smoking has emerged as decisively negative practice. Today, medical studies have proven that smoking is one of the main causes of many diseases for example, heart attacks and lung cancer and others. In order the proven health risks of smoking some countries have imposed high taxes on tobacco products. In addition, organizing annual campaigns to raise a wariness of the danger of smoking and reduce it is risks.

The harmful effects of smoking are not limited to the health aspect only but also extend to the economic and social aspect as well. From an economic point of view, the harmful effects of forced tobacco smoke are not limited to the burden of disease but rather extend to the economic burden. In addition to the direct and indirect medical costs it causes losses in production and exacerbates the risk of fires and others.

As for a social point of view the smoke drinker is offensive to his society and to everyone who sits and the owner. Because it blows smoke in the faces of people suffocating their breath and them with its unpleasant smell and spoils the atmosphere around them and this harm extends until it persecutes people in offices and stores in cars and airplanes even at the doors of mosques. It drains the nation’s wealth and transvers it into the hands of its enemies from the corporations that export this malicious mischief.

The Personal goal

The presenter of the program talked about "goals in our life”. So, he started to ask the audience about their goals and if they can say it or not. The audience though they can tell the goal but the programmer said they cannot base on a quote " telling someone your goals makes them less likely to happen “.

Any time you have a goal there are some steps need to be done and some works need to be done to achieve it. When you tell someone your goal and they know about it they will has a knowledge. And your mind will be tricked and feel like it already done, then when you felt that satisfaction you will be less motivated to do the hard work.

Program presenter put some evidence of telling the others about our goals, in 1926, Kurt lewin founder of social psychology called this " substitution”. In 1933, Wear ambler found when it acknowledged by others " it feels real in the mind " In 1982, peter solwetzer wrote a whole book about this and in 2009 he made a test on public.

The test was like this, A 163 people across four separates tests. Everyone wrote down their personal goal. then, half of them announced their commitment to this goal to the room and half of them did not. Then, everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would lead them towards their goals that they could stop at any time.

Those who kept their mouth shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average. when asked afterward said that they felt they had a long way to go still to achieve their goal. But, those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average. When they asked afterward they said that they are closer to achieving their goal.

So, if the test was true that mean you could resist the temptation to announce your goal. Also you can delay the gratification that the social acknowledgment brings and you can understand that your mind mistakes the talking for the doing, Finally, everyone must be silence about what they will achieve their goal. That come to make sure you will achieve your goal.

Mariana Atencio story and how she able to understand that when the person is different from others that make him/her unique,

In our planet, we are all humans but we are totally different from each other, making us a special. My story heroine is a lady called Mariana Atencio who works as a journalist. She has been pass through different life experiences making her realize the need of putting ourselves in other shoes to accept their differences from us.

Mariana is a girl from Venezuela a place full of magic and wonders locating in South America. Her story began when she was 7 years old when her parents want her to have a wider view of the world. One day his father came to her and told her that he is going to send her to a place where no one speaks Spanish language are all. Her father decided to send her along with her young sister who is only 6 years of old for summer camp located in North America specifically in the USA.

Mariana thought that her dad will go to send her to Miami or a place where Mickey Mouse live but unfortunately her dad has a totally different plan. He plans to send her and her sister to summer camp locating in the north of the United States where no social media at all as he wants them to experience a different culture.

Once Mariana and her little sister reached to the camp they noted that the most of kids look same with blond hair and blue eyes making them to label Mariana and her sister as a weird coming from other planets. At the beginnings, Mariana faced a hard time in the camp because all kids dealt with her strangely and also she needs to take care of her little sister who was crying every night in the camp. In addition, she struggled a lot in making friendship which supposes to happen spontaneously but it doesn't. She understood that in order to make friends you need to work in belonging. As she said “I am different, belonging takes work. “Which mean you need to work in yourself in order to make a correlation with surrounding you want to hang with.

Later on, Mariana father decided to send her to continue her study in a high school located again in the United States. She put in her mind many expectations regarding her school and her roommate. Once she reached there all her expectations faded away when she got to know that her roommate is not what she away when she got to know that her roommate is not what she expected. Her roommate was a Muslim teenager called Fatima from Bahrain. Mariana simply labelled Fatima as a different and didn't make any effort to accept her as a friend or even colleague. Mariana didn't realize at the time that she has hurt Fatima by her behavior and made her feels as the children of the camp made her feel when she was there.

Mariana and Fatima spend only a few months together and after that Fatima transferred to other accommodation, so Mariana had forgotten about Fatima. Months later, Mariana has been pass through experiences that make her remember about Fatima, as there was a charity event in the school where each student had to show their talents for the audience. Mariana chose to perform a dance show on the tunes of her favorite singer, Shakira but other student didn't like what she had performed. She returned back to her room and suddenly she said to herself " being different is an advantage." added to that, she also said, " The first Step in being more inclusive is recognizing our blind spot " which means we need initially to find out what distinguishes us from other and we need to admire these differences as a unique feature of us, so we Can appreciate the distinct features of other
