SQ1 2019 SPECIAL: Our next guest is Howard Nuk, a Canadian industrial designer, entrepreneur, inventor, speaker, and co-founder of Palm Ventures Group, Inc. Born in Toronto, Canada, he lived there until his family moved to Ottawa at the age of 11. Nuk studied Industrial Design at Carleton University, School of Industrial Design, Faculty of Engineering. After graduation, Nuk was hired by the global design and innovation firm frog, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he began working under renowned designer Hartmut Esslinger who famously designed the Apple Macintosh SE with Steve Jobs from 1983-1989. Over the next 11 years, Nuk would become Creative Director and lead frog's west coast design teams. Nuk also worked at Ammunition as Vice President of the Industrial Design Studio. There he worked with partners Matthew Rolandson, Nuk's former frog colleague, and Robert Brunner, former Apple Design Director who famously hired Jony Ive. During his time at Ammunition, Nuk designed products for Beats by Dre, Square, Nook by Barnes and Noble, Adobe and Sky. In 2012, Nuk joined Samsung Design America where he met Dennis Miloseski, a fellow designer and his future co-founder. At Samsung Design America, Nuk and Miloseski provided leadership in the definition, design, and development of products that live within the mobile and home IOT ecosystem. Under the leadership of Nuk and Miloseski, SDA is credited for developing the wearables category at Samsung, including both wrist-worn and audio-based smart wearables. Notable products include Samsung Gear Fit, Samsung Gear S, Samsung Gear S2 among others. Nuk and Miloseski co-founded the San Francisco-based startup Palm Ventures Group Inc in late 2016. Palm secured global exclusive rights to the original Palm brand—made famous in the mid-90's from the launch of the PalmPilot—from TCL Corporation, one of Palm's strategic manufacturing partners and seed investors. TCL Corporation had purchased the Palm brand assets from Hewlett-Packard in 2014. Nuk and Miloseski also brought on 3-time NBA champ, 5-time All-Star, the first unanimous MVP basketball star Stephen Curry as a strategic investor and advisor to Palm. Palm launched the new Palm brand and their first phone also named "Palm" in November of 2018, in an exclusive deal with Verizon. Thank you @howardnuk for being amazing and inspiring so many!

2017-06-06 Special EnglishThis is Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing. Here is the news.China has celebrated its first science and technology day, which means it has only been one year since the country declared its intention of becoming a leading power in Science and Technology by the middle of the century.Things have moved pretty swiftly since.Jiaolong, China&`&s manned submarine, went quite literally to the bottom of the ocean recently. Scientists collected samples of seawater, rock and marine life, including sea cucumbers, sponges and starfish. The geological samples will help them understand how the trench was formed.In pursuit of the kind of quantum scientific leaps China needs, space is another frontier to be conquered.In southwest China, the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope began scanning the skies in September. It is the world&`&s largest radio telescope. Its mission is to help scientists understand the origin and structure of the universe, and perhaps bring the search for extraterrestrial life closer to what would be an astonishing conclusion.Meanwhile, out in actual space itself, the Shenzhou-11 spacecraft, launched in October last year, carried two astronauts to the space lab Tiangong-2, where they remained for 30 days.In April this year, the Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft docked with Tiangong-2, refueling and resupplying the orbiting lab.This is Special English.China&`&s manned submarine Jiaolong has descended to 6,699 meters in the Mariana Trench, recording images of two swimming snailfishes.The mission, on May 30th, was Jiaolong&`&s fourth dive in the trench this year.The dive began at 7:03 a.m. local time and reached the planned depth at 10:21 a.m. where scientists worked for three hours and ten minutes.Jiaolong collected samples of rock, sediment, deep-sea life and sea water in this dive, and recorded images of two swimming snailfishes.Scientists say research on snailfish, a typical deep-sea species, deepens our understanding on the evolution of deep-sea fishes and their environmental adaptation mechanism.Jiaolong&`&s first dive of this year in the world&`&s deepest known trench took place on May 23, with a Xinhua News Agency journalist descending inside the submarine along with scientists to a depth of 4,811 meters. The second and third dives on May 25 and 27 reached depths of 6,300 meters and 6,544 meters respectively. You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing. U.S. President Donald Trump has called Germany&`&s trade and military spending policies "very bad" for the United States as tensions between him and German Chancellor Angela Merkel increased.Trump wrote on Twitter that the country have a MASSIVE trade deficit with Germany, plus they pay FAR LESS than they should on NATO and military, which was very bad for the U.S. He wrote that this will change.The blast came two days after Merkel cast doubts on EU&`&s alignment with the United States and Britain, saying that Europeans should determine their own destiny.Merkel, addressing an election campaign at a beer tent in Germany&`&s southern state of Bavaria, said recently that following the election of Trump and Brexit, Europeans "really have to take destiny into their own hands".Merkel said "the times when we could fully rely on others are to some extent over".Although Merkel did not further elaborate the reasons for her unexpected remarks, many German media speculated that Merkel was referring to her frustrating experience at the G7 meeting earlier this week in Italy&`&s Sicily.The German leader described the summit as "very difficult, not to say very unsatisfactory".Trump and Merkel had a long history of disagreement that was previously focused on the two leaders&`& view on immigration.This is Special English.The daughter of a longtime confidante of the former South Korean President has been delivered to South Korea.The 20-year-old is on her way home to South Korea. She was wanted for questioning in connection with a major corruption probe in her home country. The daughter was arrested by Denmark&`&s North Jutland Police on Jan. 1. Her mother is charged with using her friendship with former president Park to extort funds from large businesses and meddling in state affairs.The daughter is alleged to have received illegal favors when entering a prestigious South Korean university. She is also accused of being behind economic crimes in collusion with her mother, which she denied.Initially, the young daughter fought against a local court&`&s decision to extradite her and appealed. On April 19, the Court of Aalborg upheld the extradition decision so that she can stand her trial in South Korea. She has dropped her opposition. You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing. Li Sun, former coach of Chinese table tennis super star Zhang Yining has replaced suspended Kong Linghui to take charge of China&`&s women&`&s national team at the ongoing World Table Tennis Championships.Head coach of the Chinese national team Liu Guoliang made the announcement as Kong had been ordered to return home from the World Championships. Liu and Kong won the men&`&s doubles gold at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. Kong was suspended as head coach of the Chinese women&`&s team following a lawsuit over a gambling debt filed by a Singaporean hotel.The Singaporean hotel where Kong and his family had stayed in 2015 filed a lawsuit against him in a Hong Kong court. Media reports said Kong borrowed 1 million Singapore dollars, roughly 721,000 US dollars, from the hotel, but failed to pay back the debt in full.This is Special English. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has launched the standard gauge railway cargo train that is expected to ease congestion at the port of Mombasa.The Chinese Ambassador to Kenya and the President of the China Communications Construction Company attended the launch ceremony.President Kenyatta said at the unveiling of the train that it ushered in an era of fast, efficient and reliable transportation of goods.He said this is a historic moment as Kenya begins its journey of transformation, adding that his government is banking on the cargo train to hasten industrial growth and cross-border trade.Besides reducing the cost of ferrying goods from the port of Mombasa to the hinterlands, the cargo train will drastically reduce congestion in the highways and the environmental pollution.According to Kenya Railways Corporation, it will cost 500 dollars to transport a single container through the train when compared to 900 dollars by road between Mombasa and Nairobi.The president said expansion of Mombasa&`&s port and the operation of the train marked a critical milestone in Kenya&`&s quest to become an industrial and efficient trading hub.You&`&re listening to Special English.

Now the news continues.Sri Lanka has said it is preparing to face health concerns once the floods which lashed the country recede.The Health Minister of Sri Lanka told reporters that while there was no spread of disease so far, diarrhea and skin diseases are expected later.However he said health officials have been deployed to the affected areas and steps will be taken to counter the spread of any disease following the floods.The death toll from the floods and landslides increased to 193 on May 30th and 94 others are reported missing.Foreign assistance is continuing to flow in with China, Pakistan and India among the countries sending ship loads of humanitarian aid.Meanwhile the World Health Organization is liaising closely with the Sri Lanka Ministry of Health and is assisting the government to provide critical healthcare services.The main areas for support are medical team deployment, strengthening surveillance of communicable diseases, as well as provision of mental health and psychological support for survivors.This is Special English.Late night mobile phone use has devastating effects on teenager&`&s mental health. That&`&s according to a new study by Australian researchers at Murdoch and Griffith Universities.The study is funded by the Australian Research Council and is the world&`&s first long-term assessment of adolescent mental health regarding late night mobile phone usage. The study examined student&`&s quality of sleep, along with mood, aggression and coping skills.The process was conducted as an annual survey over four years and included 1,100 students from 29 schools.When the subjects began the process, they were in their eighth year of education at high school; and when the program concluded, they had hit year 11.The questionnaires focused on what time of the night students continued to receive or send text messages and phone calls.The study found that late night phone use directly contributed to poor sleep habits, which over time led to declines in overall well-being and mental health.Around two thirds or 65 percent of students in year eight who owned a mobile phone, reported to use it regularly after "lights out."You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing. An inquiry into the accuracy of seven wristband activity monitors showed that six out of seven devices measured heart rate within 5 percent. None, however, measured energy expenditure well.The findings were based on an evaluation of the Apple Watch, Basis Peak, Fitbit Surge, Microsoft Band, Mio Alpha 2, PulseOn and the Samsung Gear S2 in a diverse group of 60 volunteers.Millions of people wear some kind of activity tracker and often share the data with their physician.Euan Ashley, professor of cardiovascular medicine at Stanford University says people are basing life decisions on the data provided by these devices. But consumer devices aren&`&t held to the same standards as medical-grade devices, and it&`&s hard for doctors to know what to make of heart-rate data and other data from a patient&`&s wearable device.In the study, the volunteers wore the seven devices while walking or running on treadmills or using stationary bicycles. Each volunteer&`&s heart was measured with a medical-grade electrocardiograph. Metabolic rate was estimated with an instrument for measuring the oxygen and carbon dioxide in breath, a good proxy for metabolism and energy expenditure. Results from the wearable devices were then compared to the measurements from the two instruments.This is Special English."The Square", directed by Swedish director Ruben Ostlund, has won the Palme d&`&Or of the 70th Cannes Film Festival.This film tells the story of Christian, a respected curator of a contemporary art museum, a divorced but devoted father of two girls.Christian&`&s next show is "The Square", an installation which invites passersby to altruism, reminding them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. Meanwhile, the museum&`&s PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for "The Square". The response is overblown and sends Christian, as well as the museum, into an existential crisis."The Square" presents a satirical exploration of the art world, and was seen by many as an unexpected, but solid choice for the prestigious award.The Grand Prix, often seen as the runner-up to the Palme d&`&Or, went to French director Robin Campillo for "120 Beats Per Minute". Chinese art film director Li Ruijun was also present at the renowned international film festival, after his film "Walking Past the Future" was chosen as an official selection for the "Un Certain Regard" category. This is the end of this edition of Special English. To freshen up your memory, I&`&m going to read one of the news items again at normal speed. Please listen carefully.(全文见周日微信。)

Recurring guest Dom Esposito joins host Josh, Lanh, and Nirave for a late night podcast after a long day at IFA 2015. Without some of the big players coming to the show this time around, the crew ponders the growing smartwatch game, especially considering the lust over the Huawei Watch and the newfound buzz over the Samsung Gear S2. Though phones like the Huawei Mate S and the 4k capable Sony Xperia Z5 Premium did appear at this show, they seem to take second fiddle to a long discussion regarding the pros and cons to current smartwatch offerings. Join us for a great (albeit pretty tired) session of the Android Authority Podcast! The Android Authority Podcast - discussing topics in Android every week.
