EconomistFashion.com (edutech*fintech)- what are fashion, youth friendship, peace and japans greatest connection with maolympics going to be, and how can this be celebrated along every Belt Road participating nation 

so the question i ask you -whether its oneworlldkimono or any of each of your favorite frendship or culture networks -  to consider is how you sell to jack ma and how to turn the communities for all (and education beyond classroom) collaboration chalenge into student union clkubs everywhere

my first recmmendation (because it costs next to nothing to do and can show trust) is to publish a series consider japan-china-bangladesh and leave copies in jacks partners offices like BRAC (bkash) at the places visitors wait

 56 years of consider post colonial win-win tradees east to west

MAOLYMPICS.com - japan is in such a privileged position it has august 1 2018 to august 1 to 2019 to arrange g20 kyoto- jack gave aup about 6 months of his time working on hangzhou g20 because of his sposorship of the olympics it would be so rude if whomever runs japan g20 doesnt ask for his help furst given he is the un's number 1 youth entrepreneur and assuming japan dies want its g20 to include youth (the trial korea olmpics started well; by the time we get to beijing winter olympics we need to be flkying so that the china-ma-rejuvenation dream makes the american dream so very 20th century- we then land on paris 2024 climate where we know macron , jinping and bbc 4-prince chales nature correspodents are dying to help

wef2017 olympics alibaba - YouTube Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the wor...

the specific question is how are YOU UNIQUELY going to help jack with  http://www.maolympics.com 

for student unions to catalogue all the greatest community for all celebrations- so special olypics is one it alreay hapens in 1000 communities   monicaa yunus http://www.singforhope.org is another it can be spread from new york to anywhere afytre 16 yeras work on musicians response to 9/11

when kimono comes to fashions it will be a crowded field

A Brief And Stunning Visual History Of The Kimono How the iconic Japonisme garment evolved from the 8th century to present day.

jack has already explained he empowers youth to create fashions on taobao - he has trained about 20000 people on thais at 7 massive 3000 person mastercalsses- serious americans came to detroit or toronto to unerstand how to brand this

Gateway '17 Gateway '17

there is absolutely a fashion competition to be help every time the belt road crosses a previously sad border - whenever xi jinping is personally involeved in archotectire projects he insistss on a twin youth zone and developing ongpin activities- kimono art isnt enough with extextile it might be

there is amy's idea to make learning english 10 tiems less costly every time some countries youth want to learn english- ww.hujiang.com organises 20000 live classrooms across china- clearly whatever becomes 5th graders main fashion competition for peace needs to also be a curriculum of fashions- and cultures- one of the cofounders of the committee 100 already runs the silk road cultural entrepreneur club - we sort of ought to have talked to him by now

there is the idea brac and others eg mostofa's frineds in india who runs the guiness book of records worls laregst school and the only one ceritfied by unesco to offer peace as an action curriculum= already use in primary school- they dont just teach languages but they develop content for 3rd grade to see diffent countries citures- of course this goes back to the number 1 think jack ma spent all his time on until he was 30 as a tourist guide learning what was outside china

ian's frend who advises prince charles has laready told charels he sgould reorganise all of teh palaces;s community works as if they were a trip advisor to how you could get involeved in your communit- prince charels needs to bring taht to tokyo 2020 and ask jack to do it for every country starting with english and chiense additions, by all means talk to jica or someone and get trilingual; if you do find someone to adopt the princes trip advisor we will need that person to be the main japanese connector of all of above -one reason why is the biggest uk investirs alongside charels are teh sainsburys family who are good freidns of my father and lead prince charleslauresets for microeneregy

my point is that whatever is the lead fashipons for community and peace and arts-clotehes, extextiles brads has to be the one jack ma sees as the graeest collaborator

since i need to talk about this in 2 weeks time in dhaka - and since i have no talent fir fashions- i would recommend you see if amy can pull together all of your views in a way that passes my questions- that way we can ask sir fazle family if the idea is already near enough for them o pitch to jack ma and he can then pitch it to belt road new development banking and so firth -if yoiu can give her a kimono to model betetr still -it wpuld be best if it had bkash's bird logo flying all over it- i dont want tobe ride to jack ma but i believe birds may work beteter than ants as the number 1 logo of fintech (that will need very slow careful debate - he may be correct maybe ants can anime into something - only youth know whcich they see as sympoloing financial freedom) -people spend hundreds of yeras just on one global logo that's why i dont encourage people to compete at that starting point

Learning Revolutions: Creating Educational Environments for Empowerment and Inclusion

New York, USA – September 22, 2018
 

The World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) is organizing WISE@NY on September 22 in New York City as part of the Global Goals Week – a series of events during the United Nations General Assembly week, under the auspices of the UN Foundation.

WISE@NY will serve as a convening platform for influential local and international thought leaders, decision makers and practitioners from diverse sectors to share best practices in education and reimagine learning environments.

Through a mix of plenaries and innovative and interactive sessions, WISE@NY will address the role of learning environments in creating an inclusive and equitable future. Participants will have the opportunity to explore important questions such as: How can we design effective and inclusive learning systems? How can we leverage multi-stakeholder partnerships to achieve these outcomes?

More information will be posted soon on the WISE website.

For queries, please contact our team at wise-ny@wise.org.qa

macrae last regular survey at the economist - extract next ages of man dec 1988

The 65-year-old Norman Macrae retires this week as deputy editor of The Economist. He will still be writing for the paper, but ends nearly 40 years of what has hitherto been his main job being partly responsible for what other people write, inside The Economist's college of opinion. His last survey as deputy editor contains his personal guesses about the main changes ahead, in ways that will be controversial. The first article discusses where the rich countries have got to, without most of them recognising it

Within a hundred years, guessed Maynard Keynes in 1928, the standard of living in Western Europe and America "will be between four and eight times as high as it is today". Since nobody could sensibly wish to consume four or eight times as much as he did in 1928, people would come to recognise the pursuit of money for “what it is, a somewhat disgusting morbidity, one of those semi-criminal, semi-pathological propensities which one hands over with a shudder to the specialists in mental disease”. “For the first time since his creation”, enthused the Arts-Theatre-founding Keynes, “man will be faced with his real, his permanent problem - how to use his freedom from pressing economic cares, how to occupy the leisure, which science and compound interest will have won for him, to live agreeably and wisely and well”.

From his observation of the very rich, who already had four-to-eight times the normal person’s income in 1928, Keynes did not think man would be very good at this, and he went on to one of his homosexual-chauvinist diatribes that women in the well-to-do classes looked to him like being even worse.

Sixty years on, in 1988, the real GNPs of the United States, the EEC and Japan are between 31/2 and 18 times what they were in 1928, although with awkwardly more people to eat those GNPs up. The United States, like Britain, is a relative slowcoach. See chart.

United States 1928-1988 1988 as a multiple of 1928 level

Japan 1930 -1988 1988 as a multiple of 1930 level

West Germany 1928 -1988 1988 as a multiple of 1928 level

Britain 1928-1988 1988 as a multiple of 1928 level

America's real GNP in 1988 is six times its 1928 level, but its population has doubled. The average American’s real personal disposable income has multiplied 2.9 times since 1928, and his consump-tion has increased slightly more. There is no sign of bored affluent people deciding not to spend too heavily, as Keynes had expected. Instead, all the rich countries’ peoples are borrowing like crazy to make the purchases they could most easily postpone. Americans now buy annually over ten times as many consumer durables as they did in 1928.

Where Japan differed

However, as in Western Europe, the most voracious rise since 1928 is that real annual expenditure by America’s central government has multiplied more than 19 times over. One might therefore suppose there has been an especial rise in the satisfactions that are traditionally the aim of government: less fear that America’s sons might be killed in foreign wars, more effective crime prevention, greater social cohesion. Things have moved exactly the other way round.

In Japan the rise in real GNP has been over three times as huge as in America (having multiplied nearly 18 times since 1930), but central-government expenditure has gone much less (multiplied under six times). Despite this image as “an appallingly low public spender”, the satisfaction in things provided by government in Japan has gone up much more than in America or Europe.

The average Japanese has much less fear than in 1928 that her or his son might be killed in foreign wars. The poorest three-quarters of Japanese 17-year-olds are startlingly better educated than their equivalents in 1928 Japan or in 1988 America or Britain, at a lower taxpayers’ cost per head. Japan has moved from a high Asian infant-mortality rate into the lowest infant mortality ever attained by woman anywhere. It has carried through the first industrial revolution in world history during which crime rates initially went down. It does still have a sense of community and social cohesion (low rates of divorce, juvenile delinquency and drug abuse, the unvarying re-election of a rather boring conservative government all through the past 40 years). Although left-of-centre people will find this appalling, it is more than conceivable that Japan shows the way that successfully governed countries will go.

In Western Europe there has been one strange similarity to Japan, because the areas most knocked about during the 1939-45 war surged most quickly above their 1920s income levels during the 30 years immediately after it. But in Western Europe (and especially Britain) there has been a clear drop in the quality of life for one group: among the sort of European women who in 1928 were cosseted domestic servants not just the leisured ladies against whom Keynes railed, but most upper-middle-class mothers of small children. There has therefore been a drop in upper-middle-class small children.

In Europe the rise in standards has been fast lowest down, among the sorts of ordinary working Englishman or Frenchman who in 1928 owned only one pair of trousers. As in America, it has been fastest of all for working-class married women. It is therefore a pity that married women are virtually disappearing among the groups that have most need of a lot of them.

from nhkworld- US President Donald Trump has nominated the head of a conservative think tank as new ambassador to Japan.

The White House announced the choice of Kenneth Weinstein on Friday. Weinstein is the President and CEO of Hudson Institute and believed to have expertise on foreign policy and security issues.

He has close ties with Japanese political figures and met with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe when he visited Japan in July. He has also frequently met with senior Japanese officials and researchers visiting Washington.

A source who met Weinstein says the think tank CEO hopes to oversee close coordination between Japan and the US.

Hudson Institute is known among Washington think tanks for its close ties with the Trump administration. In July, it created the post of Japan Chair, served by H.R. McMaster, former national security adviser to Trump.

The post of ambassador to Japan has been vacant since July after Bill Hagerty resigned to run for Senator.

Weinstein will officially become ambassador after Senate approval.

curriculum 4/50

the lancet with professors from asia pacific eg have recommended that the worlds number 1 missing curriculum of youth is peer to peer pre-adolescent and adolescent health - each year could mentor eg 2 years younger

both girls boys and mixed curricula could be developed

part of bracs model empowering women to build south asia tracked the progression of primary scholl children -in its 50000 schools which girls most wanted to be village health servants
secondary scholarships were one way to build generations of health workers

when bangladesh was the poorest nation in the world, many children did not go to secondary school- so another way forward was offering apprentceships when girl left school to the village para health workers

in todays money brac estimates that the initial training needed to ensure every village grassroots network linked para health microfranchises under 100$

community 3/50 restore youth community arts/fashions

youth create fashions
but tv sucked out participation and local fashion creation

ways to change this
alibaba village university trained 40000 youth to be local fashion idols
japan celebrates carnivals/rituals out of every locality- these can launch food recipes build community logos linkin sister city schools with shared curricula- eg what is your places most unique species or cultural celebration
whats the most beautiful photo of your place
