more on that later in the show but 1st a very warm welcome to this special edition of your max where we focus on the topic of help let's see what else we have lined up for you today. why see we can taste amazingly like a truck and. how swedish artist under the obama stands helps people relax with history the animation. scientific studies showed that looking at plants can help people cope with major challenges in their lives it's because the plants make us feel more relaxed and optimistic the surroundings in which we live and work also impact our sense of wellbeing this is the philosophy behind the architecture at the $24.00 maggie's centers in britain we went to visit the latest one to find out more.

this is maggie's center in leeds england it's a place where cancer patients or their relatives can receive practical or emotional support during treatment it was built on the hospital campus but stands out in stark contrast to the other buildings around it the architecture and interior design with its soft curves are meant to be inviting to both patients and other visitors. when people come here to this big beautiful space they feel fairly safe and away from the clinical area of the hospital in fact when they saw it's was how it feels like a wall for. the interior of the center contains natural materials soft lighting and numerous spaces designed to encourage social interaction. the wood used to be sustainably forested spruce.

the walls are made out of porous materials such as limestone which help ventilate the building naturally. as you come into the center obviously it's this big fire and we know that cancer has been shrouded in secrecy but they skip the impression that we can be open about that now and we can talk about cancer and we can talk about the thing that's happening to people as they come into the center but then we have much smaller spaces that have no corners so they envelop you if you go in so we've got really almost give you hope as you go into them. celia nights husband was recently diagnosed with leukemia maggie's centers helped her cope during his treatment. i have to bring my husband to the hospital he doesn't drive so. the center has been incredibly helpful to me as a comfortable place to wait while he's having his treatment. maggy

center in leeds was completed in 2020 by british architect thomas heatherwick he based the design on oversized garden planters with the goal of been hansing the greenery around the building he says architecture plays in important role in our well being. this is really interesting for us because i think an issue of our time is how buildings affect us emotionally and many buildings has failed us in the last century or so emotionally they've made bad places and you couldn't get a more extreme need for something that connects with people's emotions and feelings then the cancer care center. famous architects have taken part in designing the center such as the. frank geary with the center and done to scotland norman foster and rem koolhaas with this center in glasgow scotland executive director dame laura

ling has been a part of the center since the very beginning 25 years ago. the 1st my dissenter came about 3 a woman called maggie case that day maggie herself had a diagnosis of breast cancer and she made. aspects of care that were being provided with then our n.h.s. system here in the u.k. for the 1st center opened after maggie had it and when we were asked to work on other centers other hospital. her friends who happened to be frank gehry to drug norman foster then offered to. help and who wanted to take part in providing a maggie center and different hospital. american architect daniel leaders can't is working on the next maggie's center in london making it the 25th in the u.k. it's been a really helpful place for me to come and i've found that it's been more helpful to

get support. from my friends and family because i can't see them as i would like to and covert time so this has been a really wonderful neutral space and very supportive for me. maggie center in leeds is just one example of how architecture can help in the healing process. anyone who is a fan of sushi knows you can see wheat but the edible kinds are nothing like that slimy stuff you sometimes get between your toes when swimming in the sea well is that really true seaweed is incredibly good for you and it also tastes great it's but not just of salt and seawater it can even remind you of truffles we met up with 2 women who harvest a number of tasty seaweed the riot is in the icy waters north of the arctic circle in norway. seaweed is known as the super food

the distribution especially in the poorest countries in. the pupil very little resort the catholic leader focused his message on the world's most vulnerable including those suffering from the coronavirus pandemic and he called for an end to armed conflicts around the globe like that in syria where many also gathered to mark one of the most important christian holidays of the year. and middle man missi had it just as christ suffered this week the holy week for christians for the salvation of humanity we are also suffering every day with the long war that came to us with the coronavirus pandemic the economic pressure and the families who emigrate. they were among the millions across the world who found ways to celebrate despite the covert 9000 restriction. in jerusalem however this year's

worshippers were allowed to participate in mass at the holy settled considered the holiest place in christianity but even there the pandemic was front of mind. i think about my fear for brazil. and they cannot see it i. believe. like the pope in rome to speak of hope i made the pandemic. and now for some of the other developments in the pandemic germany's health minister is considering lifting restrictions for fully vaccinated people according to the built newspaper a study shows there are unlikely to spread the virus britain is planning trials of vaccine passports for sporting events and nightclubs and india is seeing its

highest number of new infections in 6 months now only 3000 cases have been reported in the last day time now to take a look at some of the other world news 3. riders have targeted police during unrest in northern ireland over britain leaving the european union violence broke out in the city of belfast pro british factions fiercely opposed new trade barriers which have come into force as part of the bracks process. a maintenance worker has apologised after his truck rolled onto a railway line causing taiwan's worst train crash in decades he says he will cooperate fully with the investigation at least 51 people were killed emergency crews have been clearing the site. jordan says it has uncovered a plot to destabilize the kingdom involving the former crown prince the government maintains hams have been hussein and others were undermining security as many as 20

high level officials have been arrested hamza denies being part of a conspiracy people in jordan woke up to confusion at the highest levels. hamza bin hussein jordan's ex crown prince and half brother to king abdullah was reportedly under house arrest. in a video statement hamza said he was being targeted for associating with critics of the royal family. there is no conspiracy. or of any conspiracy. it's my. restricted. to try to strike from the fundamental.

state security forces initially denied had been arrested but told state television they were looking into potential threats against king abdullah though he no longer holds an official title how the remains a fairly popular figure in the country and. in my view it's not right for prince homicide to be linked to these people. these are people who jordanian see as questionable who are really frowned upon. we don't want to see anything no matter how small happen in this country this country is known as stable and secure and i ask god to have this country remain stable and secure. jordan is known as a reliable ally to the west and it borders israel syria saudi arabia and iraq the rights group freedom house ranks jordan as partly free it's one of the few arab states formally at peace with israel and is an important ally to the united states

the u.s. u.k. and several arab nations have all expressed their support for king abdullah. and for more on this we're joined now by. he's a political analyst and columnist the deputy prime minister is accusing prince hamza of working with what he calls foreign parties to undermine the security of jordan what does he mean by that. well actually this is surprising this is a very surprising statement by the foreign minister and actually we usually in gordon we don't have any let's say enemies or somebody or any foreign power that is interested in this applies in the country so basically this was a bit surprising and as long as the foreign minister talked about this i guess there should be or so concrete evidence as for there so basically this might lead to a mule. let's see confrontation for dog in with this new reality although all we

in jordan believe and know that there is nobody targeting the internal situation of gordon so that issue is been explained as well from that action off most of the countries are to the issue yesterday happened yesterday like the support the endorsement of king of the lucky him from all over the world so this means that. in reality we don't feel that there is anybody interested in this destabilisation of jordan so i think the government is a blight soon to reveal these concrete evidence is in order to be credible and then especially also poured into an audience on the part jordanian public opinion. we went when he talks about foreign parties there's a could be a number of countries including saudi arabia your neighborhood who were mohamed bin salman has been engaged in a number of foreign adventures that are people talking about that as a possibility. well i i don't think that there is an evidence for there simply may

be that announcement of that arresting of power the law works with mohamed and some man might lead to this but this not forget that king abdullah's last visit was compromised and so the man and he went along with the crown prince and this might be linked also to what's happening here then immediately the 1st country to endorse . his majesty's airports while he was saudi arabia this means there. are politically speaking or diplomatically speaking there is no proof that the saudis might be interested in such issue otherwise i think there are the law wouldn't have been arrested in this way prince hamza spoke of poor and incompetent governance in that video without naming a king but could this be the remark of a bitter half brother deprived of a status as crown prince or is there truth behind really saying. well i knew that

he left. his debts as a crown princess more than 15 years now that he's not a crown prince so basically i don't see direct link between that specially that he after that he had a lot of very famous letter saying that he has no desire for governance and he would understand this then he appeared in recent years morse lee engaging in domestic issues so it's not it's something unusual surprising to see that these words which is common in boredom i though it recently in public opinion there's a very high produces and poured the public the food let's say governments of governments not being said from a member of the royal family is a bit shocking or surprising and for sure it's a risky because it opens. let's see a kind of affection which is not a story in jordan but in fact jordan is based on the strength and unity of this

family we never were there so if i want to remember. him in the previous. can call saying it was a very smooth transition and therefore busy it's a bit surprising folks here thank you so much for helping us try to understand the surprise political analyst. in a math. time for sports now and league football the wind up to 27th match day of the season featured of birdland darby between union and her to berlin the fiercely contested match up ended in a draw giving her a much needed point in its relegation battle earlier today stuttgart edged bremen saturday's big match so biron defeats 2nd place leipzig frankfurt beat dortmund well spurred was a winner and clawed back defeated freiburg so what are the scores mean for the standings with just 7 match days left in the season byron munich are now 7 points clear of leipsic wolfsburg and frankfurt are sitting at 3rd and 4th berlin is 7th

a virus spread. why do we panic and when we'll all miss. just 3 of the topics covered and weekly radio. if you would like any more information on the chrono marash or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast you can get it wherever you get your podcast you can also find us at d.f.w. dot com slash science. according to my fitness i've already taken 2628 steps today and i got 7 hours of deep sleep that's about average this devise can even determine my mood seriously but is that really a good thing how healthy is self optimization autopsy today on ship.

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 records 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 self improvement and is there something wrong with us not according to a psychologist you would have mangoes doth. the principle. is a part of our developing further which is one of the humans fundamental needs it's part of all of us but there is a difference whether we talk about self optimization this entails reaching optimum capacity or reaching us or. and this is often linked to self value and status.

we're trying to get fitter and it's 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. no question in the world and it's also what i've been asking myself for days now i've been using delio to check my mood in the morning at midday and in the evening i can choose from 5 emotions this morning i would say that i'm good. i tell delio what i'm doing i'm feeling translates this data into statistics. they're holding the right trick is available online they are almost like digital diaries a place to record and a cavity. evaluate this information and draw conclusions about psychological health . can't really analyze the uses. 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. delio can only track my mood when i'm using it actively it doesn't know what happens in between and that information doesn't turn up in the statistics. i don't think the app was that useful for me personally but it could be helpful to record one's daily activity in order to recognize certain patterns but to do so you already have to know yourself quite well there because that take other factors into account that quite a bit. now that i'm in the office it's time for the next test feel wristbands can measure the sweat on the use a skin this information will be linked to mood related data. i

will input my mood into the app now that's a joyous because i get to see my colleagues the respond money to some biometric data on my blood pressure for example and translates them into emotional patterns i will recognize them when i'm joyous in the future. i don't know how precise these measurements are but on the basis of my responses to questions about concrete situations be able to propose certain mindfulness exercises there are all kinds of variables such as these on the market now some claim that they can recognize or use emotions through their voice others detect and measure brain activity all these headbands wristbands wrings 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 mangle stuff has 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 it's very important not to use them responsibly and to be aware of the risks that afflicts. after work i like to. which off and this news had been says it can help according to the makers did use a 7 sensors to detect the brain's electrical activity which it then transforms into understandable experiences so the user can wind down and meditate if i'm not calm i will hear sounds of a storm which will remind me to concentrate on my breathing if i'm feeling calm i will hear light summer rain. i can hear some very light rain some wind. and from time to time the earth chirping that indicates that i'm really relaxed are over. what i'm talking when it's getting heavy on the interior of your truth so i think a bit of contemplating now. 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 full control and to not take the exercises they prescribe too seriously i doubt that such gadgets can really have users 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 didn't have a choice what if their employers ordered them to use a mood tracker. lots of work multitasking and difficult exercises this is daily life tiny a start up 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 a lot there were loads on a magically so that the software can do this is have to wear a device that measures the pulse all the time and there's a camera that films their faces the idea is to measure their stress levels and

emotional states and their workload can be calculated. as one of the developers he says he's not interested in surveillance or storing data flow. these are 2 issues of this can be described as the perfect state between the feeling of being under challenge billboard and the opposite which is being stressed and swamped that place in between when someone is challenged can cope with the task in hand in his flight flow. but do we really want a world in which software can get such a deep insight into an employee's emotional state the slow select from the german research center for artificial intelligence things not. when they. don't want a situation in which such software leads to the surveillance of employees. with the result that someone might be fired if they don't perform adequately or if they're going through a rough patch personally and the system detects this 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 related research 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 i'm not so sure about giving that bunch of personal information to a private company. health as trackers collected 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 book now is a lawyer who since the terms of use are frequently formulated in

a very vague way. the moment many companies are just connecting information and don't even know what they want to do with it sooner or later there will be some kind of commercial use for the data right now data is already being sold for targeted advertising directed at 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 but not so great for those who are not in the end it leads to people being selected according to their risk to the . user should think very carefully about the amount of personal information they're willing to divulge just stops data protection is obviously a big issue but do the apps even do what they say they will now all kinds of new fitness apps and gadgets flooding the market they're supposed to encourage users to

exercise more without a trainer but do they really work. there's 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 it's shown is that it makes a huge difference to people's 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 that this actually makes an impact on health and whether users really do more exercise we just don't know that yet. let's listen in. addition some fitness apps can actually increase the risk of physical damage artificial intelligence and instructions videos can help people tailor physical activity to their own needs so people are more likely to hurt themselves if they do the exercises wrongly and can't ask a real life instructor for advice. if

a user wants to do something right there is a lot of work involved and good trainer will have a certain experience that i'm. so trainers made of flesh and blood still have an important role to play. and that doesn't just go for fitness apps even small devices can have huge drawbacks a friend of mine wanted to track all the stages obviously to optimize a sleeping pattern but he got sort stressed out by the whole process that in the end he couldn't sleep at all and that might be helpful for some but not for others it's very important to find the one that's right for you this is what the expert says. just an individual or person is unique and not even the best can map all the highly individualized elements that make a person and help them to develop an app make suggestions based on the aggregated

data so it can never be tailored precisely to just one individual basically no user should ever follow is just blindly but always ask whether it really makes sense for them personally. however for a person in crisis any kind of support is better than none at all so even if it would make more sense to talk to a professional and out with at least give an indication of the direction somebody wants to move in and how they might want to develop so i would say use the apps but make sure you always question their advice. about. hard. what about you have you used fitness apps and would track us have they helped you reach your goals . on social media on w dot com if you want to find out more about these gadgets check out our you tube channel by phone now and.
