“Juxtopia® Context-Aware Mobile Mixed Reality Assistive Device (CAMMRAD): An Open Wearable Augmented Reality HMD for Research & Tech Transfer” Tuesday, April 15, 2014 @ 3:30 – 4:45 PM Computer Science Building, Room 210 Detailed Workshop: Tuesday April 15, 2014 @ 5:00 PM-6:30PM Detailed Workshop for Virtual Reality Class (COSC 729, COSC 477, COSC 209) & Virtual Reality Laboratory Students Jayfus T. Doswell, Ph.D., President/CEO, Juxtopia, LLC, Director of the IEEE Virtual Instructor Pilot Research Group (VIPRG), Bowie State University Department of Computer Science External Advisory Committee. Abstract: Mixed Reality is a term coined by Milgram that refers to the merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact, in real time. Mixed reality includes the following categories of reality: Augmented Reality (AR), augmented virtuality, virtual reality, the real-world. In 1990, Boeing researcher Tom Caudell first coined the term “augmented reality” to describe a digital display used by aircraft electricians that blend virtual graphics onto a physical reality with an objective to superimpose digital data over a real-world environment in in real-time. This early innovation provided a “dream” to aircraft mechanics reducing the need to ask or try to translate what they found described in abstract diagrams located in manuals. Dr. Doswell, built upon the pioneering research of Caudell and contributed over ten years of wearable AR research to the Juxtopia Group, an open source mixed reality head mounted display (HMD) platform. The Juxtopia® Context-Aware Mobile Mixed Reality Assistive Device (CAMMRAD) platform is continually advancing to improve human cognitive performance. In his talk, Dr. Doswell will survey past and current wearable ARHMDs (such as Google Glass); Forecast the future of wearable AR systems; and Describe student and faculty research opportunities to further advance wearable AR systems to improve human cognition. Detailed Workshop for Virtual Reality Lab Students: The detailed workshop will explain what is a microcontroller and how to program it a for wearable AR platform. How to program an app for wearable AR device such as Google Glass. The talk will also explain what are AR hardware subsystems and what are the strengths and weaknesses of several wearable AR hardware. Dr. Doswell will train undergraduate and graduate participants how to use the open source, Juxtopia® CAMMRAD, to develop commercial level AR hardware and software that may interface with various AR Goggle systems and facilitate technology transfer for BSU students and faculty. (All are welcome to attend) Contact: Dr. Soo-Yeon Ji (sji@bowiestate.edu) or Dr. Sharad Sharma S (ssharma@bowiestate.edu) if you have any question.

Alibaba Group is involved in a variety of Web businesses. Its most important elements are its online retail sites: Taobao Marketplace, a large commerce site; Tmall, an online marketplace for name-brand retailers like Apple; and Juhuasuan, a daily deals site similar to Groupon. The company is also affiliated to mobile payments service called AliPay, and it has investments in online video, mobile messaging and cloud computing, among other businesses. The company that started in 1999 by Jack Ma, a former teacher from his apartment in his hometown of Hangzhou, now employs 24,000 workers at its headquarters in Hangzhou and elsewhere, with 25 separate business units.
Alibaba Products:
Alibaba has built a massive e-commerce business without selling even a single pair of jeans, washing machine, or book. What it sells instead are consumers, and it sells them in groups to retailers who pay for clicks, keywords, ad views, and sales.
Unlike Amazon, Alibaba itself does not sell and ship items to customers. Instead, it acts as a kind of online bazaar where merchants as small as local vendors and as large as Nike can sell their wares. Alibaba makes money mainly by convincing these sellers to place search ads on its website to reach more potential customers through keywords (like Google) or by charging a commission on some transactions (like eBay). The company also makes money by selling premium memberships, cloud computing services and access to analytics data.
How does Alibaba make money?
Alibaba has already been called so many things–the Amazon of China, the biggest IPO of all time, the harbinger of a new Internet era—that it can be hard to pin down exactly what Alibaba does and how it makes money.
A recent Forrester Research report called Alibaba ―the world’s biggest digital ecosystem.‖ That description provides a pretty good indication of its sprawling operation. About 84% of the company’s revenue comes from its China commerce businesses, such as Taobao and Tmall sites. International commerce accounts for 12% of the top line, while cloud-computing and Internet infrastructure represents 1.9%.
On the consumer side, Alibaba operates Taobao, which works much like eBay, and Tmall, which brands like Apple and Uniqlo use to reach out to an estimated 302 million online shoppers in China. Taobao, which does not charge transaction fees, makes money mainly through advertising purchased by traders who use the site. Many traders spend money on advertising to make their products more visible, because there are more than 800 million pieces on Taobao. While almost anyone can become a seller on Taobao with little cost in advance, Tmall is the most exclusive site. Trademarks and authorized distributors pay the deposit to open storefronts after going through a stringent verification process.
It runs AliExpress, a site to connect consumers outside China with exporters, and a group shopping site, Jujuasuan. Its flagship site, Alibaba.com, handles wholesale business-to-business commerce, a huge market that neither Amazon nor eBay yet dominates online. It has a small business-to-small business marketplace, 1688.com. And it offers cloud computing in the style of Amazon Web Services. Alibaba is also tied to online payments giant Alipay and is used for buying products across Alibaba’s sites.
Success Mantra:
Chinese are tight-fisted. So Alibaba made all the basic services it offers free to both buyers and sellers. It earns money through online advertisements and extra services it offers clients, such as website design. The second is that many Chinese are reluctant to trust strangers. So Alibaba has provided tools to build trust. One is an independent verification service through which third parties vet the claims made by sellers; the sellers pay for the process. Another is the Alipay payments system, which takes money up front and puts it in an escrow account. Vendors can be sure that payments made through it will be honoured.
Number Games:
But don’t just believe the rhetoric. Believe the numbers. The Wall Street Journal has reported that the combined transaction volume of Taobao e-commerce marketplace and Tmall reached $240 billion last year. That’s triple the size of eBay Inc., and more than double the size of Amazon.com Inc.
Sales across Alibaba’s consumer marketplaces were $296 billion over the past year. By comparison, eBay in 2013 sold $76.5 billion in merchandise, only about $5 billion more than Alibaba sold on mobile devices alone. Total payment volume on Alipay in 2013 was $519 billion, more than double PayPal’s total of $180 billion in the same year.
Data Driven:
The sheer volume of commerce moving across Alibaba’s many platforms means the company likely has the most comprehensive and most detailed picture of consumer behaviour in the largest consumer market on the planet—a market whose spending power continues to grow. With great depth and breadth of visibility into consumer behaviour, Alibaba will be able to assemble a highly detailed profile of its consumers — which allows it to become much smarter and sell far more.
Global Perspective:
Alibaba does a huge amount of business—and compared to Amazon, it does business much more efficiently. Unlike Amazon, Alibaba doesn’t own its own inventory. Its marketplaces handle the selling, not the stuff itself. Even Alibaba’s logistics operation exists to coordinate deliveries, not to make them. Through its cooperation with 14 strategic delivery partners, Alibaba uses more than 950,000 delivery personnel. It also has more than 980,000 cloud computing customers. The company also has more than 342,000 small businesses taking out loans from the company.
Alibaba has so far managed to achieve profit margins. In its most recent fiscal year, Alibaba’s net profit margin—net profits divided by revenue—was greater than 44 percent, a figure that has climbed steadily over the past few years. Amazon’s net profit margin in 2013, by comparison, was less than 1 percent. Net margins at Google and Apple last year hovered at just above 20 percent.
Conclusion:
Jack ma’s vision of making Alibaba reach its pinnacle of success can be estimated when he states that ―There were three reasons why we survived. We had no money, we had no technology, and we had no plan. Every dollar, we used very carefully.‖ The company’s breakneck growth in China shows no signs of abating, and Alibaba also has plans to compete on U.S. shores. In September, 2014, Alibaba launched its IPO. The company raised $21.8 billion when it priced its IPO at $68 per share, making it the largest offering in U.S. history. That opening price puts Alibaba’s overall valuation at almost $230 billion, more than Amazon and eBay’s valuations combined.
Many questions still dog Alibaba, like concerns about corporate governance, China’s uncertain regulatory environment, and competition from other Chinese internet behemoths. But what works in Alibaba’s favour is the depth and breadth of data that puts it in the same league as the biggest U.S.-based tech platforms.

several hundred thousand ladies were trained in such a way that they could sustain a small bsuienss out of each vilage
this was the first massive use of social buisness that has gone on to be the bigest gamechnaager in aid , girls empowerment and alleviation of extreme poverty
by focusing on affordable cures for infant and maternal helath, brac ended massive deaths in infancy - the culture changed so that village mothers no longer were expected to bear 10 children so that 2 boys could survive- this gave vilage mothers the opportunity to develpp their own income generation as brac redesigned at least 10 national markets to include the very poorest
Over the years other health programs have been integrated but the backbone of the whole of vil;lage empowerment across bangladesh can be viewed as the brac village health service- without this would bangladesh ever have become a world leader in partnership to end extreme poverty and all 6 of the top sgds as well as most others
bonus question did brac also create direct cash transfer (aka give directly)?
answer yes
==============================
help us identify bracs 5 biggest stories before jack ma's chair at tsinghua ying lowrey spends a week at brac spet 30 to oct 6 -2018
extract from bio of ying lowrey
“The Financial Differentiations,” the paper claims that individual’s financing activity is an important component of “Free Enterprise and Free Competition.” Through market segmentations and the “Quantity Discrimination,” individual’s freedom for finance can be honored. Only in the internet/digital economy, financial differentiation can lead the financial market to the economic efficiency.
The Alibaba Way: Unleashing Grassroots Entrepreneurship to Build the World’s Most Innovative Internet Company, The World Edition of English by McGraw Hill Educational Press. January 2016. The book is listed in THE GLOBAL BUSINESS THOUGHT LEADER SERIES. The book addresses the function of public goods & services by private Internet companies. These companies enable grassroots entrepreneurship and facilitate job creations in the society.
“Business Creation is Job Creation: Estimating Entrepreneurial Jobs,” using several large databases in the US, the paper empirically demonstrates that in the process of creating businesses, entrepreneurs not only create jobs for others, but most importantly for their own. The paper estimates that only about 1/4 of new jobs go to “employed workers” and the rest 3/4 belong to “self-employed entrepreneurs.” The Wall Street Post, the Harvard Business Review and many other media across the USA cited the paper. The paper was presented at the 2011 American Economic Association Annual Conference in Denver.
“An Examination of Entrepreneurial Effort,” a seminal theoretical paper presented at the 2006 American Economic Association Annual Conference in Boston. Using neo-classical economics framework, the paper explains: 1) why do entrepreneurs create businesses; 2) what the role of entrepreneurial effort is in the macroeconomy; 3) what the role of government is in the allocation of entrepreneurial efforts; and 4) what the role of “Initial Capital” is in the allocation of entrepreneurial efforts.

0 village microfranchise launched as a village business by over 100000 village mothers was the foundation of girls hold up half the sky in developing both the asian nations of bangladesh and china in 1970s
rural keynesianism 2.1
over time the rural hearts of these nations developments diverged because china's diaspora were the 3rd wealthiest financial network and could afford to inward invest - but then again in 1996 village mobile and solar experiments first seen in partnership experiments in bangladesh quickly became integral to china village 2.1 too
3rd time lucky fo bangladesh- those who have spent their life serving solutions to sustainability know the secret of POP- no not coke's recipe and not I'd love to teach the world to sing but the franciscan value system of preferential option poor - if you have a leap in technology race to see what it can do in the most ultra challenged community on earth- so it wasnt that surprising that in 2018 jack ma's team paid a visit to brac to buy 20% of the bank a billion unbanked model of bkash - we welcome other ultra visitors at the space sir fazle left to be his legacy brac university - hope t0 see you partnering in #digitalcooperation and #ultracooperation www.fazleabed.com…

after working for an MA in statistics at cambridge university 1973, i joined the uk national development project in computer assisted learning - there we experimented with both how exciting and frustrating digital learning could be for 100 people at a time linking across 4 universities who shared their curricula
this was still in the first 0f 6 moores law decades of 100 times more tech- it was predictable- see 1984 book 2025report - that personal computer webs would emerge by the late 1980s that mobiles would appear a decade later offering potentially universal connection but these would not be smart mobiles until 2010- by then apps could linkin the world at a click, data on who was doing what would be gps tagged, as the first decade of big data platforms emerged in 2010s the most vital contribution governments could make involved desidning data to respond to commons challenges - be that end virus, tracking peoples vitals so they and doctors only met when humans were still smarter than machines- that was actually a great opportunity there isnt a job in 2020s that cant be made more super-humanly skillful without through access ai designed transparently
my father had survived the war as teen navigator in allied bomber command over myamar- that gave him a unique view of how most of the world living on the asian continet had not yet access to electricity grids let alone other mchines fromsmith-watt at 180+; just as electricity has created more jobs than it cost, so can ai provided we ook around at how much work still needs to be done if every place o earth is to be a thriving place to grow up in- the good news for sustainability is most of these new jobs are not about valuing ever jore consumption; in fact they are not coiunted by wall streets macroeconomic because unlike qero-sum consumptionsharilg life critical knowhow multiplies value in use way above the biggest maths error in the world- macroeconomists assumprion that zero sum drives everything…

ealth exchanges and became world famous for demonstrating what last mile health can do while fighting the injustices of global health. Farmer has long lived a double livelihood as head of infectious diseases in Boston's Brigham Womens Hospital boston, and running last mile health services out of Haiti and other places. He has seen the practice in Haiti develop from the remote village outpost he founded age 24 to mirebalais hospital centre. When a massive earthquake hit Haiti over a decade ago it destroyed the nation;s main training hospital and Paul and his friends fundraised to build Mirebalais from scratch . Inspired by this African friends have built a new centre co-sponsored by kigame out of rwanda with the goal of both developing the nation's health service and providing a model that all africa can adopt, Fortunately this regional base was already mature enough to become one of Africa's key mobilisation networks in the battle against Ebola.While there are experts (and world class medical trainees) distributed around around farmer at Partners in Health the vast majority of 15000 now employed are last mile para-health servants. Typically they specialise in specific treatments instead of the costs and time of achieving all round qualifications. For example in the battle against multidrug resistant tuberculosis one of farmers and kim's biggest disease specific solution franchises - a health worker is needed to daily visit for a year to patient- so as not to catch this disease it is best to employ local workers immune because they previously survived this disease, In the poorest quarter of the world, tens if not hundreds of millions of last mile health servant jobs could be created if education and health systems were designed around last mile and rural service specialists instead of the professional standardisation that rich nations healthcare takes for granted.
As undergrads both farmer and kim anthropologists - strong supporters of franciscan "accompaniment" and the POP model that celebrates the professional who spends time living and learning with the poorest or most in need in environments where most of the population is eg not served by electricitry grids or running water
For decades now their catholivc mentor has been gutterez- see eg farmer on hope
Jim kim- launched his 6 years so far at world bank ...
... with a plea that young professionals of every type apply similar bottom up changes to their profession that farmer and he had demonstarted with health - more here As Jim was completing his first year at the world bank, Francis became the new Pope. They met to form a mutual count on me declaration to worldwide networks of Preferential Option Poor.
Students back in boston inspired by farmer and kim have also formed
Young Professionals Chronic Disease Network
www.ncdaction.org/
We are a network of over 5,000 young professionals united across 160 countries. We work online and on the ground in over 15 cities on 6 continents. Its an extraordinary network and compliments the focus of paul farmer which has been famously about infectious diseases
Leana wen -is baltimore,
and probably US gutsiest public health adminstrator - she keynoted at world bank's inaugural summit for 300 youth in development summer 2016. Listen to Leana Wen and start listing every missing curriculum of health and well being from US schools. Co-keynoting with Leana at the youth in development summit was George Patton from Austrlia- with The Lancet he has scoped the core components of adolescent health that could be the major peer to peer curriculum of adolescence social networking. Some of these appreneticeships in wellbeing can be practused by boys and girils together- other eg menstrual health (a curriculum michele obama says his her life's main goal to distribute) need girls clubs (a demand that BRAC internationalwas the first to meet in the developing world). As recently as spring 2017, unhabitat the main agencs responsible for valuing goal 11 sustainable cities and communities admitted that focusing only on green metrics was erroneous - the most valiud metric of sustainable city is ratings on feel safe surveyed among girls aged 10-13
Baltimore is US's original social justice city where 4 black girls were the furst to win a case law putting the 13th amendment end salary into action. They invested the proceeds in faith and educational communities whose most famous alumn Thurgood Marshall became a supreme court Judge. Today these communities are served by Al Hathaway. America desperately needs its francican inspired development leaders to cross-fertilise their action learning networks internationally and inside USA. 45 minutes from DC the planet's the most top-down city, why couldn't Baltimore-DC become the sustainability's generational paradigm of blending the best of bottom-up and top-down. Sports franchise owner Ted Leonsis is demanding his sportstars outreach to Baltimore to advance the idea that bu 2030 Baltimore-DC becomes a 25 million person conurbation in which every family flourishes. Ted's logic -and his tech friends eg at the 1776 hub co-founded by Steve Case - goes further. If Baltimore-DC doesnt become one of the top 10 superconurbations that worldwide youth value- does USA have any future as a leader of the sustainability generation's world of freedom and happiness. Baltimore has a black-american inspired coding network JUICE led by Jayfus Doswell looking for partnerships in how coding can POP the world. (see jack ma's parallel orbit out of detroit as gateway2017 , read up on don tapscott's latest briefing of blockchain pos the world attached, see jack ma on why money isnt the answer on education revolution half of youth need to be emplyable, read jeffrey sach's analysis on how congresses federal spending priorities on army, old, and bailing out bankrup banks means that there is negative federal budget to invest in youth or any innovation linked into sustainability goals, ask why the us media is designed round hatred campaigns of any national leader who asks americans whether they would like small enterprises and youth to explore win-win trades aligned to 199 nations maps of sustaiability with motherearth (or health societies generate wealthy ones not vice versa)
in pre-digital days larry brilliant led grassroots intelligence webs needed to end last case of smallpox; he also one of humanity's deepest connector of ending unnecessary blindness as this video shows - it tells about his friend who foubded aravind for one of the most dramatic cases of explicit microfrachising (#E's effective, efficiency, expandabiluty) outside of brac's world- (just to add some notes to the video on aravinds costs and staffing; aravind depends on 2 main staff- cataract surgeons who are paid a competive rate but expecetd to do 3 times more operations than any other institution- patiesntservice and scheduling staff - aravind trains up village girls in 6 weeks- whiole tehy are paid about 3 times less than fully qualified nurses being an aravind heroine is a great livelihood for a girl from the villages- overall aravind's cost to patients are about a third lower than anywhere else for those who can afford to pay- every paying customer sponsors 2 free operations); this is how aravind distributes the benefits of creating 10 times more value than any service franchise in its market)
at a ted conference larry's wish to develp digotal mapping tools to minimise plagues and other risks caught the eyes of google who appointed him first ceo of google.org

KERRY GLASGOWIS HUMANITY'S LAST BEST CHANCE - Join search for Sustainaabilty's Curricula
101ways-generation.docx 101 ways education can save the world WHAT IF WE DESIGNED LIFELONG LIVELIHOOD LOEARNING SO THAT so that teachers & students, parent & communities were empowered to be ahead of 100 times more tech rather than the remnants of a system that puts macihnes and their exhausts ahead of human life and nature's renewal 2016 is arguably the first time thet educatirs became front and centre to the question that Von neummn asked journalist to mediate back in 1951- what goods will peoples do with 100 times more tech per decade? It appears that while multilaterals like the Un got used in soundbite and twittering ages to claim they valued rifghts & inclusion, pubblic goods & safety, they fotgot theirUN tech twin in Genva has been practising global connectivity since 1865, that dellow Goats of V neumnn has chiared Intellectual Cooperation in the 1920s which pervesrely became the quasi trade union Unesco- it took Abedian inspired educations in 2016 ro reunite ed and tecah as well as health and trade ; 7 decades of the UN not valuing Numenn's question at its core is quite late, but if we dare graviate UN2 aeound this digital coperation question now we give the younger half if the world a chnace especially as a billion poorest women have been synchronised to deep community human development since 1970
Dear Robert - you kindly asked for a short email so that you could see if there is a CGTN anchor in east coast who might confidentially share views with my expectation of how only Asian young women cultural movements (parenting and community depth but amplified by transparent tech in life shaping markets eg health, food, nature..) can return sustainability to all of us
three of my father's main surveys in The Economist 1962-1977 explain imo where future history will take us (and so why younger half of world need friendship/sustainable adaptation with Chinese youth -both on mainland and diaspora)
1962 consider japan approved by JF Kennedy: argued good news - 2 new economic models were emerging through japan korea south and taiwan relevant to all Asia Rising (nrxt to link the whole trading/supply chains of the far east coast down through hong kong and cross-seas at singapore)
1 rural keynsianism ie 100% productivity in village first of all food security- borlaug alumni ending starvation
2 supercity costal trade models which designed hi-tech borderless sme value chains- to build a 20 million person capital or an 8 million person superport you needed the same advances in engineering - partly why this second economic model was win-win for first time since engines begun Glasgow 1760 ; potentially able to leverage tech giant leaps 100 times ahead; the big opportunity von neumann had gifted us - knowhow action networking multiply value application unlike consuming up things
1976 entrepreneurial revolution -translated into italian by prodi - argued that future globalisation big politics big corporate would need to be triangularised by community scaled sme networks- this was both how innovation advancing human lot begins and also the only way to end poverty in the sense of 21st C being such that next girl born can thrive because every community taps in diversity/safety/ valuing child and health as conditions out of which intergenerational economic growth can spring
in 1977 fathers survey of china - argued that there was now great hope that china had found the system designs that would empower a billion people to escape from extreme poverty but ultimately education of the one child generation (its tech for human capabilities) would be pivotal ( parallel 1977 survey looked at the futures of half the world's people ie east of iran)

IN MORE DETAIL TECH HUMAN EXPONENTIALS LAST CHANCE DECADE?
- we are in midst of unprecedented exponential change (dad from 1960s called death of distance) the tech legacy of von neumann (dad was his biographer due to luckily meeting him in his final years including neumann's scoping of brain science (ie ai and human i) research which he asked yale to continue in his last lecture series). Exponential risks of extinction track to mainly western top-down errors at crossroads of tech over last 60 years (as well as non transparent geonomic mapping of how to reconcile what mainly 10 white empires had monopoly done with machines 1760-1945 and embedded in finance - see eg keynes last chapter of general theory of money); so our 2020s destiny is conditioned by quite simple local time-stamped details but ones that have compounded so that root cause and consequence need exact opposite of academic silos- so I hope there are some simple mapping points we can agree sustainability and chinese anchors in particular are now urgently in the middle of
Both my fatherwww.normanmacrae.netat the economist and I (eg co-authoring 1984 book2025 report,retranslated to 1993 sweden's new vikings) have argued sustainability in early 21st c will depend mostly on how asians as 65% of humans advance and how von neumann (or moores law) 100 times more tech every decade from 1960s is valued by society and business.
My father (awarded Japan's Order of Rising Sun and one time scriptwriter for Prince Charles trips to Japan) had served as teen allied bomber command burma campaign - he therefore had google maps in his head 50 years ahead of most media people, and also believed the world needed peace (dad was only journalist at messina birth of EU ) ; from 1960 his Asian inclusion arguments were almost coincidental to Ezra Vogel who knew much more about Japan=China last 2000 years ( additionally cultural consciousness of silk road's eastern dynamics not golden rule of Western Whites) and peter drucker's view of organisational systems
(none of the 10 people at the economist my father had mentored continued his work past 1993- 2 key friends died early; then the web turned against education-journalism when west coast ventures got taken over by advertising/commerce instead of permitting 2 webs - one hi-trust educational; the other blah blah. sell sell .sex sell. viral trivial and hate politicking)
although i had worked mainly in the far east eg with unilever because of family responsibilities I never got to china until i started bumping into chinese female graduates at un launch of sdgs in 2015- I got in 8 visits to beijing -guided by them around tsinghua, china centre of globalisation, a chinese elder Ying Lowrey who had worked on smes in usa for 25 years but was not jack ma's biographer in 2015 just as his fintech models (taobao not alibaba) were empowering villagers integration into supply chains; there was a fantastic global edutech conference dec 2016 in Tsinghua region (also 3 briefings by Romano Prodi to students) that I attended connected with great womens education hero bangladesh'sfazle abed; Abed spent much of hs last decade hosting events with chinese and other asian ambassadors; unite university graduates around sdg projects the world needed in every community but which had first been massively demonstrated in asia - if you like a version of schwarzman scholars but inclusive of places linking all deepest sustainability goals challenges
and i personally feel learnt a lot from 3 people broadcasting from cgtn you and the 2 ladies liu xin and tian wei (they always seemed to do balanced interviews even in the middle of trump's hatred campaigns), through them I also became a fan of father and daughter Jin at AIIB ; i attended korea's annual general meet 2017 of aiib; it was fascinating watching bankers for 60 countries each coming up with excuses as to why they would not lead on infrastructure investments (even though the supercity economic model depends on that)
Being a diaspora scot and a mathematician borders (managers who maximise externalisation of risks) scare me; especially rise of nationalist ones ; it is pretty clear historically that london trapped most of asia in colomisdation ; then bankrupted by world war 2 rushed to independence without the un or anyone helping redesign top-down systems ; this all crashed into bangladesh the first bottom up collaboration women lab ; ironically on health, food security, education bangladesh and chinese village women empowerment depended on sharing almost every village microfranchise between 1972 and 2000 especially on last mile health networking
in dads editing of 2025 from 1984 he had called for massive human awareness by 2001 of mans biggest risk being discrepancies in incomes and expectations of rich and poor nations; he suggested that eg public broadcast media could host a reality tv end poverty entrepreneur competition just as digital media was scaling to be as impactful as mass media
that didnt happen and pretty much every mess - reactions to 9/11, failure to do ai of epidemics as priority from 2005 instead of autonomous cars, failure to end long-term carbon investments, subprime has been rooted in the west not having either government nor big corporate systems necessary to collaboratively value Asian SDG innovations especially with 5g

I am not smart enough to understand how to thread all the politics now going on but in the event that any cgtn journalist wants to chat especially in dc where we could meet I do not see humans preventing extinction without maximising chinese youth (particularly womens dreams); due to covid we lost plans japan had to relaunch value of female athletes - so this and other ways japan and china and korea might have regained joint consciousness look as if they are being lost- in other words both cultural and education networks (not correctly valued by gdp news headlines) may still be our best chance at asian women empowerment saving us all from extinction but that needs off the record brainstorming as I have no idea what a cgtn journalist is free to cover now that trump has turned 75% of americans into seeing china as the enemy instead of looking at what asian policies of usa hurt humans (eg afghanistan is surely a human wrong caused mostly by usa); a; being a diaspora scot i have this naive idea that we need to celebrate happiness of all peoples an stop using media to spiral hatred across nations but I expect that isnt something an anchor can host generally but for example if an anchor really loves ending covid everywhere then at least in that market she needs to want to help united peoples, transparency of deep data etc
