Well it plays into this Relation Strategy just simple because he is able to remind the conservative why its important to keep him in office he is able to nominate judge just to the bench and in this very case another Supreme Court justice. And we also have to keep in mind if he is reelected it is possible that he has a chance to pick another a Supreme Court judge in the next 4 years and then would shift the court complete control of conservatives and would have a major implication for every diet i have here in the United States ok in a small well have to leave it there tonight in a school in washington thank you.

According to my fitness trick ive already taken 2628. 00 steps today and i got 7 hours of deep sleep thats about average this devise can even determine my mood seriously but is that really a good thing how healthy is self optimization our topic today on shift. Do it get enough exercise to eat the right food have i had enough water today am i relaxed enough according to a recent survey about 33 percent of the global population has already tried out Digital Health trackers the market for fitness wearables has tripled since 2017 and it looks set to grow much more say experts why are we so obsessed with selfimprovement and is there something wrong with us not according to a psychologist you would have mongst off. The principle. Is a part of our in like its developing further which is one of the human fundamental needs its a part of all of us but there is a difference when we talk about self optimisation this entails reaching optimum capacity or reaching us or go along and this is often linked to self value and status. We try to get fitter and eat better to improve our bodies but what about our minds well also apps and gadgets that contract our mental well being and in these times of crisis many are starting to use such trackers but how do they work i took a closer look. At how you know question the world is asked more often its also what ive been asking myself for days now ive been using delio to track my mood in the morning at midnight. And in the evening i can choose from 5 emotions this morning i would say that im good. I tell delio what im doing how im feeling and the app translates the data into statistics. Then ill hold the right move trick is Available Online they are almost like digital diaries a place to record on the old and the kitty. Evaluate this information and draw conclusions about psychological health. Cant really analyze a use a smooth. As a person can have so many different emotions feelings are very complex and these apps can simplify complex matters in such a way that they might end up being not useful. They can only track my mood when im using it actively it doesnt know what happens in between and that information doesnt turn up in the statistics. I dont think the ad was that useful for me personally but it could be helpful to record ones daily activity in order to recognise certain patterns but to do so you already have to know yourself quite well. That take other factors into account that quite a bit. Know that im in the office its time for the next test feel wristbands can measure the sweat on the he was askin this information will be linked to mood related data. I will input my mood into the app now thats a joyous because i get to see my colleagues the respect monitor some biometric data for example translates them into emotional patterns i will recognize them when im joyous in the future. I dont know how precise these measurements are but on the basis of my responses to questions about concrete situations be able to propose certain mindfulness exercise it. And there are all kinds of variables such as these on the market now some claim that they can recognize or use emotions to their voice others detect and measure brain activity all these headbands wristbands rings measure physical data and give advice on how to improve Mental Health some even say that they can help people to overcome depression but you did have some warning words in this regard. We should remember that we should never transfer responsibility for our own life and psychological wellbeing or health to a digital app it can be helpful to use them but its very important not to use them responsibly and to be aware of the risks. After work i like to switch off and this news had been says it can help according to the makers use a 7 sensors to detect the brains electrical activity which it then transforms into understandable experiences so the user can wind down and meditate if i will hear sounds of a stall which will remind me to concentrate on my breathing if im feeling calm i will hear some of the late. I can hear some very light rain and some wind. And from time to time this is the pain that indicates that im really relaxed but. What im talking with is getting heavier than the rain favorite so i think a bit of contemplating. I would say that a new trick is going to help people to go about their everyday life in a more mindful way but it is important to not relinquish control and to not take the exercises they prescribe too seriously i doubt that such gadgets can really have uses with serious Mental Health issues for now people can still decide themselves whether they want to use these quantified self apps and devices but what if they didnt have a choice what if their employers ordered them to you. Lots of work multitasking and difficult exercises this is daily life at tiny a startup based in munich the founders vision of the future is one where employees only receive as much work as they can actually carry out the idea is that software should allot their workload automatically so that the software can do this boys have to wear a device that measures their polls all the time and theres a camera there films their faces the idea is to measure their stress levels and emotional states and then their workload can be calculated myo is one of the developers he says hes not interested in surveillance or storing data but in flow. Is that sort of this can be described as the perfect start between the feeling of being under challenge to the board and the opposite which is being stressed and swamped that place in between when someone is challenged can cope with the task in hand is flying flow. But do we really want a world in which software can get such a deep insight into an employees emotional state phillips loose a leg from the German Research center for Artificial Intelligence things not. Dont want a situation in which such Software Leads to the surveillance of employees with the result that someone might be fired if they dont perform adequately or if theyre going through a rough patch and the system detects with subsequent negative consequences this has to be prevented. At this munich startup employees have to actively agree to be tracked but will this always be the case these systems force people to share intimate information how is the data used and by whom. Of course apps must collect data to quantify progress for example in Health RelatedResearch Apple has collaborated with academics and published a variety of studies based on Data Collected by volunteers and their smart watches it might sound like a win win situation but im not so sure about giving that bunch of personal information to a private company. Health trackers collecting data when users are sleeping eating and exercising but they also gather other information for example regarding location users often have no idea what is done with their data benedict who is a lawyer who says the terms of use are frequently formulated in a very vague way. And Many Companies are just connecting information and dont even know what they want to do with it but sooner or later there will be some kind of commercial use for the data right now data is already being sold for targeted advertising to certain groups and individuals Health Insurance companies are also very interested in such data some of them are already offering cheaper rates to policyholders who agree to track their own Health Related data the system for this is great for those who are healthy its not so great for those who are not in the end it leads to people being selected according to their risks. Users should think very carefully about the amount of personal information theyre willing to divulge just stops. Data protection is obviously a big issue but. Even do what they say they will there are all kinds of new fitness apps and gadgets flooding the market that supposed to encourage users to exercise more without a trainer but do they really work. Theres a wealth of research into the question of whether it makes a difference if a person uses an app and tracks their activity or not and so far what its showing is that it makes a huge difference to peoples motivation many are more likely to commit themselves to their health and stick to it if they track their activity and see visible progress but it is not yet been proven
