now a lab which lets you know if your home is being stepped on has been developed by american whistleblower an anti surveillance campaign that edward snowden it works on android devices and can spot shadowy electronic intrusion but as the explains it might also reveal a few things you might want to keep quiet about. edward snowden has set out to prove he's capable of much more than leaking n.s.a. secret he's keeping up the fight against digital surveillance and this time it's in the form of an app he's created a personal security system in the hope of empowering journalists and activists to secretly monitor their possessions and how the very fitting name meet haven. makes it harder to. see the raids search. without getting.

scripts is kind of. more people want to crack down they have to. will i. say let's take a closer look you simply install haven on any android phone and your device tends into a surveillance system it works by the app detecting changes in the environment using sentences already built in say you left your phone and attended in your bedroom and an intruder breaks in well first of all it uses the camera and it'll instantly start recording and may catch the unwanted visitor of course you could also set a trap for a nosy partner snooping through messages secondly the built in microphone will pick up any conversations to be private while that's great for recording intruders voices which you also be tempted to leave it somewhere you shouldn't in all cases of a breach you'll receive encrypted a let's. keep you safe that it can be exploited i can have a good site if there is domestic abuse going on for example and you want to record

proof and then go to the police it can have a bad side because you might feel you're being stalked by a jealous ex else or jealous that there's a potential as you be hijacked as well tickets were able to enjoy it which is i think has closed bits of software within it so it's always a plus this month with the new technologies of course that said edward snowden himself has always been notoriously careful about the technology around him. famously asking journalists to place their phones in hotel fridges to stop for oil would be snooping so it's uncertain whether this app will create a physical space you can trust or make you more power annoyed of the device lying next to you be aware of the spy next door. for the news make sure you check us out on facebook you tube or twitter i'll be back at the top of the hour with the headlines so stay with us.

when you don't. see. what the most. space. left in the. club. no seven to let. you speak french. there's a. good. taste .

lately. greetings and salutations. in order for us to better understand the present and even predict the future one must study the past history can be taught or learned and regurgitated through memorization but to truly understand history it must be felt in one's heart and soul but where can one find the heart and soul of history.

music and if you're searching for the heart and soul of the unwritten history of the united states the the people's history if you will you will find it in the notes chords lyrics and passion of the blues jazz band joe and ragtime of an early america finding its way into the twentieth century. born from the men and women on whose backs these united states were built on these are the precursors to the rock'n'roll hip hop and country music of today so let's let us peer into the beating heart of the real history of the united states as watching the hawks strikes a chord. if you want to know what skills would know these three but the fact. that you basically to analyze it day it would have modified it if you speak it looks or that they like it or not i got this with the believe.

that there will be this world a little bit. but. we hope it will restart. no. i lay this person laetoli. there's a. sleeve inside last night here and now i'm. going to

change about the place. i did not hear the. gold level this old dog and the little boy. was a happy time in maine was the. dog days you saw. going out with a little boy and what i do not play anymore. is all of us and the bold . plans. of the old dog

and the little. i think. it is to the mean time changes constantly. trying to be. in the.

so tell me what was the first moment your life or your you truly from your passion for music. well i discovered my passion for old time music like after high school when i had been playing saxophone from the age of five until freshman year i started playing cello and bass in high school and i went to an a math and science engineering school and was like really i'm enjoying music like i'm going to take a year off from college and and in that year is when i discovered country blues and it was like ok i think i want to play music i think that's what it is for me and. it was like hearing skip james for the first time and thinking how otherworldly it was and not yet having any of the historical or social contacts yet but just like enjoying the music. and so that was like my my entry into the world of music

bombed them and all that kind of stuff. and sort of like inherent with old time music is is learning and learning history you know like you know it's not like pop music where all the references are easily available and right there for you so just learn more about the music and swords and learn. about the banjo being a black instrument about you know what really happened after slavery and how that contributed to our growth in music given you know train lines and jim crow and you start learning about all these things in the song start having heated meetings and other meetings and. so that just entrenched me in the music more and more what led you to the banjo and tell me a little bit about how with the banjo is that black instrument because i don't think very many people know that history because i think most people assume you now . have had a nickel for

a number of times you will ask me to play that yeah. so you know history the banjos you have slaves coming from africa mostly west africa cetera and they they either bring with the instruments like the a contango and other you know gourd instruments with a skin stretched over it with strings or when they come here they end up making replicas of it. and so. slaves are creating these instruments are these amalgamations of you know their string instruments in the creating the banjo and it becomes known as a black instrument as a slave instrument for whatever one hundred years or some like that why people don't touch it and it's like you know if you can find old tacks of like i can hear the banjo melodies coming from the plantations at night or remember seeing an old article saying like oh you know the first holy american music is being made on the plantations right. we're slaves you know we're playing violin and learning songs to entertain the masters and their friends but they're also you know combining it with

their own thing and what is that thing that thing is patient you know that drone string that you see me playing that fifth string that i never fret because. that's that's africa that's black people's that is that you know you have john philip sousa. we come along and we're like. you know and we change it and that becomes kind of what american music you know grows into so the banjo is a black instrument for a hundred years white people start getting into it. and of course they do it in the most are not of course rewind three to one. but you know they start doing it and a very racist way which is blackface mental see you know part of it is you know an appreciation of the music and these early mitchell songs you find you know you know there's like this is a real negro song like learned from a real black person like you know at the end of shows sometimes they'd wipe off the makeup like surprise we're not black you know but it was you know appreciation for

this music and it was while the most popular form of american music for. ages right generations because of that think of patient it was like rock n roll for a back that you know but it's all based on. you know the black experience and black music so learning that fact really got me into the banjo made me want to be a part of it and i would hear like clarence actually or uncle dave make in. you know whatever recordings and be like i don't know what they're doing i don't get it at all and when i learned that fact of the banjo being a black it seems like i want to pick up a banjo and then someone threw one in my hands taught me how to claw hammer and i it quits like i picked it up immediately and knew banjo in me for life you know as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered and if you would like to learn more about the artist that was featured on the show today check us out on facebook and twitter and you tube and see our poll shows at our t.v.

dot com coming up we go deeper into the heart and soul of american music as watching the hawks strikes a chord. joining me every thursday on the alec simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. in twenty eighteen what will see are central banks adding bitcoin to their strategic reserves alongside gold so big gold buyers like china and russia will be adding big point to their strategic reserves some banks possibly in venezuela they could completely change their fortunes in the global economy by switching over to

crypto switching over to bitcoin and then that will set a precedent for other countries of policy. grass cutting insisting that we do not in keeping them i am. trying to list that's not an excuse they had. to go bust that. guy knew when you could do who knew what it would be it's not blush when you don't need you to question the thought of you. then yeah so he has to listen to the message showcase them don't.
