China today is Black Mirror through the Looking Glass. A national video surveillance network is promised in just two years, while new technologies are being rolled out at speed on the frontier of China’s surveillance regime, in Xinjiang, ranging from iris scans to phone surveillance apps. Simultaneously the Chinese state is building a nationwide social credit system, to be launched in 2020, which provides incentives for citizens to participate in their own surveillance. To unpack China’s dystopian present, Louisa and Graeme are joined by Elsa Kania from the Center for a New American Security, Lotus Ruan from the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab, and Samantha Hoffman from the Mercator Institute for China Studies in Berlin.

 Hi Angels, Today on Blog talk radio I am going to interview Samantha Hoffman from Sane Samantha.  Samantha's popular blog was recently featured on the "Freshly Pressed" feature at WordPress, and she just sold one of her children's books to a large publishing platform.  Samantha will share tips and ideas on how new and upcoming writers can get started with their writing career.    angelcoaches.org facebook.com/angelcoaches

Join Angela Lauria of the Author Incubator as she interviews Samantha Hoffman, author of The Contented Mind. Samantha was going through depression when she started writing out the book, and writing the book made her realize that she was denying herself, wasn't following her dreams, was married to a man she didn't trust and was setting a bad example for her children where living a “great union” was concerned, and realizing these enabled her to improve her life. Read more and get the transcript here: Samantha Hoffman on the Author Incubator.

Hi Angels, Today on Blog talk radio Samantha Hoffman is my special guest speaker for Super Sunday.  Samantha is a well known inspirational writer  who writes for adults and children.  Her philosophy is:  Life can get rough sometimes, loving oneself shouldn't be. That, in a nutshell, is the message that is imbued within the books Samantha writes.  If when we're young, we can learn to love ourselves - imagine what we can accomplish.Instead, seeds of doubt and insecurity often burrow deep within our psyche. Next thing we know, we're thirty, forty, fifty years old and still see ourselves as less than. No one is less than. We all have wings. We just need a little help believing we can fly. Samantha writes: This Insanity Blog is my way of releasing errant thoughts from within my mind. These thoughts run the gamut from comical to serious – and all points in between. Hidden within my novels is the journey of a forty year old woman who finally finds the courage to claim her voice, her life and her fate. The Dainty Delaney children's series is about a little girl who, although small in stature, has an indomitable spirit. Although she sees herself as different from all the rest, Delaney discovers she's perfect just the way she is. Samantha has written numerous columns on health and spirituality for a local newspaper. Currently, she writes the popular blog: Insanity – A Writer's Commentary On All Things, as well as having written two novels: A Contented Mind, it's sequel, Chasing Nirvana, and the children's chapter book series: Dainty Delaney. Currently sheis at work on her third novel. "Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance."  Bruce Barton
