5min @TheEconomist clip - 3D printing #prosthetic limbs for #refugees

Text from youtube "3D-printed prosthetic limbs are being trialled by Médecins Sans Frontières in their effort to help people who have lost limbs in the war in Syria. The pioneering technology is far cheaper and faster than conventional methods and could revolutionise treatment of amputees around the world. Ahmed was 14 when he lost his arm in a barrel-bomb attack. He is one of thousands of civilians who have lost limbs in the Syrian conflict. Médecins Sans Frontières is using 3D printers to make prosthetic limbs. A limb takes 24 hours to make and costs a fifth of a conventional prosthetic."

Text from you tube "President Donald Trump has spent one year in office. But what exactly has he achieved? Here’s a two-minute snapshot of his presidency so far. Since coming to power Mr Trump has tweeted over two thousand times. Often insulting people and bragging with a liberal use of exclamation marks. He's played golf 88 times, held very long handshakes and created a new word "covfefe".   "

2min 18sec @Theeconomist clip - Why are #women #paid less than men?

Text from you tube 

"The gender pay gap is not caused by women earning less than men for the same job. It is largely because women choose different careers and suffer a “motherhood penalty”’. 

Women who work full-time, still earn 15% less than men. But that's not because they are paid less for the same jobs. It's because they're in different jobs. Women are in less senior jobs. 

In Britain, France and Germany, 80-90% of executive jobs are held by men. Women also tend to choose different occupations. 

In America over 80% of teachers, nurses, secretaries, and health workers are female and these jobs tend to be lower paid. Primary school teachers in the West earn nearly 20% less than the average graduate job. Nurses earn less than police officers. Cleaners less than caretakers. 

Women are as ambitious as men. They earn the majority of university degrees. In America, they now ask for promotions as often as men. 

But it's the price women pay for motherhood that holds them back. 

In Britain, 70% of mothers reduced their working hours or switched to a less demanding job compared with 11% of fathers. In Australia it's 56% of mothers and 19% of fathers, while in France 55% of mothers scaled back compared to 13% of fathers. When an American women goes back to work her salary is on average lower than it would have been if she hadn't had a child. 

The race for gender equality is far from over. As more children choose non-traditional careers and men do more childcare, fewer working women will be held back.

Text from you tube 

"Myanmar’s Rohingya Muslims have been described as the most persecuted minority on Earth. For years, Myanmar has not recognised them as citizens. Now the army is burning their villages, killing them and driving the survivors out of the country. Myanmar’s leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, ignores their plight. Does she deserve to keep her Nobel peace prize?"
