phrases as specially written for people

00:29:52
Ashley Thompson Steve Amber
and Jill Robb and it's. As

00:29:59
people stay home to help stop the
spread of the new coronavirus many are

00:30:06
using video calling services to
stay connected to the outside world

00:30:14
today we examine some of the top
technology tools designed to help improve

00:30:21
communication for learning
work and social life one

00:30:28
of the most widely used video calling
services is zoom cloud meeting

00:30:35
which has many good features for
both education and business

00:30:42
zoom is currently listed as the most
popular free app in Apple's App Store

a computer or mobile device to hold high
quality one on one video where voice

00:31:15
calls or video conferences involving
groups. The company offers

00:31:22
a basic free service that permits unlimited
one on one meetings and group meetings

00:31:29
of up to $100.00 people the basic
service limits group meetings to

00:31:36
40 minutes zoom also offers
private messaging between users

00:31:42
and groups screen sharing and
the ability to record meetings

00:31:50
Xoom provides suggestions on its website
for people seeking to use the service to

00:31:56
improve work activities at home as
well as educational ideas for teachers

00:32:03
schools and parents the app receives
high ratings in the Apple and

00:32:10
Google Play stores for video
quality and technical reliability

00:32:17
another very similar service is
Microsoft owned Skype which began in

00:32:23
2003 as an early example of
free voice video and messaging

00:32:30
technology over the Internet Skype
can be used on computers or mobile

00:32:37
devices to make high quality video and
voice calls for individuals and groups

00:32:45
it also includes messaging personal
and group chat and Screen Sharing

00:32:53
the service is free for Skype to Skype
calls worldwide but users have to

00:32:59
pay for some services such as calling

00:33:02
a landline or mobile phone or
sending text messages one of

00:33:09
the most popular services for remote
workers is slack which offers video and

00:33:16
voice calls and messaging. The free version
permits one on one video and voice

00:33:23
calls between team members there is

00:33:27

Google's hangouts meet both offer

00:33:54
a series of powerful tools to link employees
to companies systems and coworkers

00:34:02
the downside of these services is that
they are designed to be used with other

00:34:08
Microsoft and Google products
on the personal side Facebook

00:34:14
messenger has become one of the most popular
apps for video calls by users of the

00:35:58
Reported house party has become popular
with home bound people who are used to

going out with family and friends to
restaurants and bars the app brings

00:36:12
people together to socialize as if they
were out together sometimes with alcohol

00:36:19
music dancing and games one
user of the Yap based in the

00:36:26
United States on my own Howard told a.f.p.

00:36:30
The video meet up is one
way to relax and take

00:36:35
a break from nonstop coronavirus
news at least temporarily

00:36:42
the idea came about of doing

00:36:45
a happy hour we just get on the app
and just drink wine and talk Howard

00:36:51
said mostly it's about

00:36:54
a lot of randomness but occasionally
someone will say I just can't believe how

00:37:01
crazy what's going on is I'm Brian Lennon.

00:37:23
The spread of the new coronavirus has
completely changed the daily routines of

00:37:29
people around the world many
are trying their best to find

00:37:36
a new normal during

00:37:38
a pandemic musician Jodie
buter New Normal takes

00:37:45
her to her homes front porch each
afternoon there she sets up her

00:37:52
music stand sheet music for everything
from Beethoven to the Beatles

00:37:59
and her cello

00:38:00
a large stringed instrument that is held
between the players knees while the player

00:38:07
sets at exactly 4 o'clock
each day Peter begins to

00:38:13
play. Neighbors soon surround home.

00:38:21
They stay at least 2 meters from each
other smiling and reading each other from

00:38:28
a safe distance St. Peter who is 69

00:38:35
is

00:38:36
a professional cellist she has
played in orchestras folk groups

00:38:42
and even a rock band She
currently works with

00:38:47
a non profit group that plays music
for patients who are nearing death

00:38:54
she lives in Mount Rainier Maryland

00:38:58
a small city just outside Washington d.c.

00:39:03
The city is home to

00:39:04
a large number of musicians and
artists. As Americans are urged

00:39:11
to stay at home and avoid public
gatherings Peter is hoping to use her

00:39:18
musical skills to make
this new way of life

00:39:22
a little more joyful live music
shows are not currently possible

00:39:29
in the United States and most other
countries instead famous musicians are

00:39:35
offering live streamed shows
for their fans John Legend

00:39:42
pink Bano and Yo-Yo Ma have all put
on special concerts from their

00:39:49
homes in recent days but beater hopes
her live cello music offers her

00:39:55
neighbors and other listeners something
that they may be missing in the age of

00:40:01
social distancing. When he's
playing music. Or indoors it

00:40:08
includes the space and it plays to the
street. Since we're all having to

00:40:15
this is from each other when
it's almost like you can create

00:40:18
a bowl of music. That everybody
has joined us she adds it

00:40:24
bridges the space and it bridges the trauma
that we are all experiencing from being

00:40:31
cut off from each other on

00:40:34
a recent day beater begins her
performance with box sweet one in g.

00:40:40
Major the sounds of singing birds
and cars are going by are part

00:40:47
of her space neighbors
arrive on bicycle or on foot

00:40:54
some stand across the street people who
live especially close to beat or stand

00:41:01
outside their own homes and listen to
the music. Even people passing by in

00:41:07
cars roll down their
windows and slow down for

00:41:12
a short time Lera Pena our writer
and neighbor came to hear Peter

00:41:18
play with her 2 daughters ages
6 and 10 her younger daughter

00:41:25
Delphine brought her whistle to play
along with beater for one song Payne

00:41:31
said when we found out she was playing every
day at 4 we said we are going to make

00:41:38
time for that Peter says she chooses

00:41:42
a mix of music so that there is something
everyone may connect with on this day

00:41:49
she ends her show with the famous American
folk song This Land Is Your Land.

00:41:57
She said music touches memory

00:42:01
a lot you are playing 2 things that
people know and they know them from

00:42:06
a happier time they know them
deeply and of a usually have

00:42:11
a communal Association yes. So she said
you are helping people connect with

00:42:18
things that are from

00:42:19
a good place. I am
Ashley Thompson. Welcome

00:42:38
to the making of a nation
American history in v.o.a.

00:42:43
Special English I'm
Steve Embury. The next.

00:42:50
Democrat you're looking.
Presidential elections are exciting

00:42:57
events in American politics few elections
for the White House chef been there as

00:43:02
exciting as the one in 1948.
And few have had such

00:43:09
surprising results then the n.b.c.

00:43:12
Television. We have. Seen the

00:43:18
results from the state of Ohio which
assures victory for President Truman and

00:43:23
Senator Boxer. When I was $25.00 electoral
votes rather than from an answer out of

00:43:28
probably more of a total of $266.00
votes in the Electoral College this is

00:43:34
a minimum figure necessary
for victory. For

00:43:40
candidates were nominated for president
in the 1948 election one was the man

00:43:47
already in the White House the candidate
of the Democratic Party President Harry s.

00:43:53
Truman Truman had been the party's vice
presidential candidate with Franklin

00:43:59
Roosevelt in 1944 when Roosevelt died

00:44:04
a year later Truman became president he
was the one who made the decision to drop

00:44:11
But Tomic bombs on Japan to end
World War 2 But Truman did not

00:44:18
do well during his 1st few months in
office he made several serious mistakes

00:44:25
he had trouble with the economy and
organized labor his party lost control

00:44:32
of the Senate and the House of Representatives
in the congressional elections of

00:44:37
1946 most Americans had
little faith in Truman's

00:44:44
ability as

00:44:45
a leader. They expected that he would lose
the presidential election then 1948 if

00:44:51
he chose to be

00:44:52
a candidate. For. President
Truman didn't choose to run

00:45:00
he took several strong steps to show his
leadership in the months following the

00:45:05
Democratic defeat in the congressional
elections Truman called on Congress to pass

00:45:12
a number of laws to help black people
he took firm actions in his foreign

00:45:19
policy toward the Soviet Union these
included the Marshall Plan and the Berlin

00:45:25
airlift as we discussed in our last 2
programs and he began to speak out with

00:45:32
much more strength to the American people.

00:45:37
Expect the Truman succeeded in winning the

00:45:44
presidential nomination of the
Democratic Party he chose album Barclay

00:45:50
a senator from Alabama for vice president
Senator Barkley and I will win this

00:45:56
election and make please rep obligations
like it don't you forget that term and

00:46:02
they player Demick something the
nomination. At the Republicans

00:46:08
nominated New York State
Governor Thomas Dewey Dewey was

00:46:13
a wise and courageous man he was
also very serious Truman can

00:46:20
tamed by telling the voters that Dewey did
not understand the needs of the average

00:46:27
American he called Dewey

00:46:29
a candidate of which people
one day doing get angry at

00:46:35
a railroad engineer because his
campaign train was late for

00:46:40
a speech. Truman said This proved
that Dewey did not understand the

00:46:46
problems of railroad engineers and other
working Americans he tried to make the

00:46:53
election

00:46:54
a choice between hard working
Democrats and rich Republicans. To

00:47:02
get other men also were candidates for
the presidency both were from newly

00:47:08
created parties one was straw men
Thurmond from South Carolina he

00:47:15
was

00:47:15
a candidate of the state's rights Democratic
Party also known as the Dixiecrat Party

00:47:23
most of his supporters were white people
from the southeastern part of Big Country

00:47:30
they opposed giving full
rights to black people.

00:47:38
The other candidate was Henry Wallace
the Progressive Party his supporters

00:47:44
believe that Truman had turned away
from the progressive ideas of Franklin

00:47:51
Roosevelt both Thurmond and Wallace had
broken away from the Democratic Party.

00:47:58
Most political experts believe these 2
candidates would take votes away from

00:48:05
President Truman they believe the Republican
Dewey would surely win the election.

00:48:13
President Truman did not have strong
public support. But Harry Truman was

00:48:20
a fighter he did not believe the election
was lost he took his campaign to the

00:48:27
American people on Election Day the president
Congress the governor the mayor all

00:48:32
or stools and the government you know any
government because then you decide what's

00:48:37
going to work and when you do like
we did $94061.00 thirds understand.

00:48:44
Just what you deserve you got that but
you're not maybe. He said he had own

00:48:51
ways campaigns by going around meeting
and talking to people running for

00:48:58
president was no different
he said he just got on

00:49:02
a train and started the process the country
that tell people what was going on he

00:49:09
wanted to talk to them face to face when
you stand there in front of them and talk

00:49:15
to them he said but people can tell whether
you are telling them the facts or not

00:49:21
to get

00:49:22
a Republican complete control of this
government here not just here is where our

00:49:26
target over to the special
interest and we'll start on

00:49:30
a cycle and try to go through just what
we did in the twenty's and any doubt

00:49:35
whether crash which you know

00:49:37
a lot. You know like any good with the
communist. Truman campaigned with

00:49:44
great energy. He made hundreds of speeches
says his training crossed the country

00:49:52
it became known as the whistle stop campaign
because it stopped that some of the

00:49:57
smallest towns and villages in the country.
Truman gave speeches from the back of

00:50:04
his campaign trail him by Ferdinand
Magellan he spoke to farmers in Iowa he

00:50:10
visited the Children's Home in Texas and
he discussed issues with small groups of

00:50:17
people who came to visit his train when
it stopped in rural areas of Montana

00:50:24
and Idaho. Dewey and the Republicans
left that Truman's campaign

00:50:31
they said it showed that Truman needed
votes so badly that he had to spend his

00:50:38
time looking for them in small villages
Truman said the criticism proved

00:50:45
that Republicans did not care for
the average American did we also

00:50:52
campaigned across the country by train but
he showed little of the fire and emotion

00:50:58
in his speeches that made Truman's
campaign so exciting Do these speeches

00:51:05
were safe one reporter wrote
that Dewey was acting like

00:51:10
a man who had already been elected and
was only passing time waiting to take

00:51:17
office there we had good reasons
to feel so sure of being elected

00:51:24
almost every political expert in the
country's said Truman had no chance of

00:51:30
winning the Wall Street Journal for example
printed the story about what Dewey

00:51:37
would do in the White House after the
election Amba New York Times said the Dewey

00:51:44
would win the election by

00:51:46
a large majority. Truman
refused to accept those views

00:51:52
instead he spoke with more and more
emotion Meghann still doing. Most

00:51:58
Americans still believe that Truman would
lose but they liked his courage and

00:52:05
fighting until the end one supporters
shouted Give him hell Harry them

00:52:11
being the Republicans sume supporters
across the country were shouting Give him

00:52:18
a hell of Harry Truman made special
appeals to working people Jews

00:52:25
blacks Catholics and other traditional
supporters of the Democratic Party

00:52:32
in his final radio speech before the
election he promised to work for peace and

00:52:38
a government that would help all people
then he went to his home in the state of

00:52:44
Missouri to wait with the rest of the country
for the election results Republicans

00:52:51
across the country greeted the election
day happily they were sure that this was

00:52:57
the day that the people would choose to
send the Republican back to the White House

00:53:03
after 16 years some of the
early voting results from the

00:53:09
Northeastern states showed Truman
winning but few Republicans worried

00:53:16
they were sure

00:53:17
a Dewey would be the winner when all the
votes were counted the Chicago Tribune was

00:53:24
also sure who the next president
would be declaring in

00:53:29
a huge headline Dewey Defeats
Truman. But the newspaper was wrong

00:53:36
everyone was wrong everyone that is except
having Truman Amby Americans who gave

00:53:43
him their votes. Truman went to bed on
election night before all the votes were

00:53:50
counted he told his assistant that he
would when. He awoke early the next

00:53:56
morning Tom learned that he was right
now the only did he defeat Dewey as he

00:54:02
thought he would but he won by

00:54:05
a good number of votes and he helped
many Democratic congressional candidates

00:54:11
win as well but Democrats can't
both houses of Congress after the

00:54:18
results were announced as heard in this
old recording Truman showed his sense of

00:54:23
humor by joking about the for
addictions of his defeat. At

00:54:30
a little account. By the
president. A little

00:54:37
bit. We'll yes.

00:54:51
That was

00:54:53
a. Little list of. People by well all.

00:55:08
The bad mostly. Telling Truman would make

00:55:15
many difficult decisions as America moved
into the 2nd half of the 20th century.

00:55:23
Truman would send American troops to help
figure knighted Nations defend South

00:55:28
Korea against aggression from the north.
He would join the other western leaders

00:55:35
in the stablish ing

00:55:36
a new alliance the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. Player stablished

00:55:43
NATO to provide for the joint defense
of Europe and North America.

00:55:51
Were. Trauma and later
presidents would make

00:55:58
decisions to send large amounts of
economic and military aid to countries

00:56:05
around the world many of these decisions
were necessary because of America's new

00:56:11
responsibilities after World War 2
as the leader of the Western world.
