So to start, one of the things I want to do is just go over just how we're dealing with extracting out our numbers. Let's say for example, we take the code that we are being given, and I just put that in. So now I have card. So how do I start to extract out every single number? Well, just like in the last video, we said that the card basically had all of these letters stored, or all these digits stored in a specific location. We started counting at zero, which was interesting because I was just like, oh, yeah, you know, that's what computer do. But what I'm able to do is I'm actually able to say card, for example. And if I put square bracket zero, square bracket, that'll actually allow me to extract out individual cards. This is pretty nice because if we're thinking about needing to cycle through things, let's say for example, while, well, index equaling something like 15, I don't know, that seems like an odd number, maybe the furthest away number. And I did card at index, oh, well, I'm getting four, again, I'm getting this four this time. Well, if I did something like while index is greater than zero, maybe I print card at index. And then I make my index go down by two. Suddenly, I've extracted out all of my odd numbers and maybe I run a running total on those things. Maybe that might be a little bit of a benefit. Maybe if I changed it, maybe I change this to 14, maybe I take that same algorithm. That seems to be giving me my even numbers and I happen to know math. Oh, remember, you'd have to convert this into something like an integer before you got to do any sort of math to it, but there's that time thing to affect that we need to worry about, say for example, why don't you? Oh, that's why. There's how I get my 18s and my 16s and all of those things. So all right, it doesn't seem like it's that daunting of a task. One other little note, since we do kind of have to go through it, if we go all the way down to this is valid card, notice people always seem to forget this portion right here. String must be 13 to 16 digits. How can I find that out? Well, I know card and we've talked about Lynn before, Lynn card. That's how I find that 16. So suddenly all these little pieces, parts that we've worked on in the past can start to come together. My recommendation, start up top. This part. We don't need to deal anything with that, but get company. Well, I just talked about how we need to get that first portion using the index. Only I remembered how I could find that out. Maybe I make an if statement that checks those and get digit. Get digit, remember, is going to handle things a little differently. Get digit is getting a number, not a string, not a string. It's a five, just a normal five. You want to double that number and look at it and see what we need to do there. Double even place. Nothing terribly crazy there. If you watch the previous video, you should kind of understand what that's going to be doing and how this stuff right here that I am going to just leave on the screen for a second as I stare at you and you pause the video recording all of it, works its magic. Same with odd place. Maybe you do odd place first. It's going to be a little easier because all you're doing is running total and you're not trying to double any digits. Then finally, is valid. Take everything that we've tied in together, plug it into here and tell me whether or not the card that I've typed in or the card that is given to you is true.


Okay, good afternoon. My name is Steve Sonnenberg. I work for HDS Hitachi Data Systems, which is a subsidiary of Hitachi Limited. And I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on our activities and plans with respect to OpenStack. So Hitachi has joined the party, perhaps a little later than others, but in full force. Most recently, we were selected and approved to be gold members of the OpenStack Foundation. There's a couple of different areas where Hitachi contributes. The first is Hitachi is a storage vendor and they make enterprise storage, which means storage, which is reliable, storage of ultra performance and other capabilities. And our goal is to bring those capabilities to OpenStack and to those OpenStack adopters. So most recently, we have introduced a sender driver for our mid-range. That's HUS-RAMS, which is our unified storage, we call it mid-range SAN. And that supports iSCSI attachment for virtual machines. In the upcoming release in the Ice House timeframe, we will also introduce support for HNAS, which is our filer technology we've acquired from BlueArk, both for iSCSI and NFS. We'll be supporting Fiber Channel on our mid-range and also Fiber Channel attachment to our enterprise, which is the VSP and HUS VM. All those can be seen in our demo booth. What I'm going to do is I'm going to walk through some screenshots just for the sake of time, give you a quick idea of what it looks like and how they work. So first of all, a sender driver is basically responsible for the provisioning of the storage. Once the storage is provisioned, it's normally accessed through the VM or in some special cases through what they call the brick layer in order to do backups and other operations. So in this picture here, you see that we have three different classes of storage, enterprise mid-range and NAS, and those are accessed using Fiber Channel, iSCSI, or NFS. And the sender role is really one of control of managing the provisioning task. In addition to that, I'm going to show you some of the work that's been done in one of the Japan Development Centers. It's a portal and we will also at the end discuss the HCP, which is our object store, our content platform, which works underneath Swift. So in order to demonstrate multiple types of storage, we use what they call multi-back-end configuration and through volume typing, we can designate that for a given volume when I want to create it, I want it targeted at a specific back-end. So we can create storage that will talk to the MS via Fiber Channel or HUS or NAS and so forth. And with those volumes, you can perform any of the sender-supported operations. You can attach them to virtual machines so you can have your pick of storage for where it's most appropriate. In addition to that, we can do operations such as backup virtual machines. These are standard operations that sender supports. So what is the advantage to the customers? Well, the customer now has a wide range of storage options, not just the commodity storage but enterprise storage, which differentiates itself in a number of ways. I don't actually work for a sales group, so I'm not going to go through the different capabilities that our storage systems provide. But the list is long and comprehensive and by matching those to the appropriate workloads, you have the ability to build enterprise-class OpenStack configurations. So one typical use case, you can take a company that's using OpenStack for DevOps and in this situation, basically you have a number of developers that are working on the same golden image as their starting point. They're working collaboratively. Each one has their own virtual environment. And along with that virtual environment comes an application volume, maybe a database and so forth. Each of those requires basically a same starting point, but they can't afford to run storage for every copy of storage for each one of them. If you multiply that by a hundred or by a thousand, you end up with an awful lot of storage to manage. So Cinder supports cloning, and our cloning can take advantage of our array-based cloning, hardware copy-on-write, copy-after-write, and deduplication technology, which can take a lot of storage, a lot of virtual storage, and you end up paying very little for it. As an example, we can take 300 gig volumes, that's about three terabytes of storage, and we can shrink that. So in a four terabyte file system with deduplication running, you can manage that in less than 200 gigabytes. So the clone takes no storage because it's using copy-on-write. And even once the copies start to diverge as development moves along its cycle, the deduplication squeezes that down. So it's very efficient and effective. So next I'll turn our attention away from the volume and the storage side into some of the portal activities. The development group in Japan put together a portal as a proof of concept for one of their customers. It's very similar to the Horizon portal in functionality, except that in two areas they added some additional capabilities. One of them is what we call complex image or template management. If you're familiar with VMware, this should make a lot of sense, but if you think about what's involved in running an image, it's not just the image, but you have other volumes that make up the environment that you need to operate at the same time. In addition to that, they put together more detailed task management so you can monitor the activity of operations. So in a typical VM environment, you have the OS image, which is managed by the hypervisor, but you also have other volumes, the application environment. And if you're using Horizon that comes out of the box, you have to treat those two sets of image versus volume separately. So if you want to do a backup, you have to back up the image, then you have to back up the volumes, and in order to back up an attached volume, you have to detach and then take a snapshot, back it up, and perhaps reattach it. So these aren't complex operations, but they weren't supported out of the box. And using our portal, we're able to manage snapshots, backup, launching, and management of a complex VM. So you can take a VM like the one in the center here that has attached volumes, and then using the portal, you can create a machine snapshot, which will snapshot the image plus the volumes, where you could back up the whole system and obviously restore it and reverse the process. Building a template is as simple as selecting the machine and then adding the storage that becomes part of the environment. And now when I go ahead and I launch the machine, I have a machine that's running with all of the requisite volumes. So it simplifies management. And then the last area I'll talk about is the object server. One of the core components is Swift. Long before there was Swift, the Hitachi data systems had a product called Hitachi Content Platform, or HCP. It's an object store archive repository, and what we've done in this case is put together a gateway that allows any of the Swift object servers to leverage HCP as the object repository. Why would you do that? Well, this HCP platform is in the sixth generation, and it has an awful lot of capabilities. It's a very mature product, and we want to sell it to you. So if you take a look at a typical Swift environment, you have your clients up on the top, including OpenStack itself, and then you have proxy nodes and storage nodes, depending on how large it's going to grow, you'd break that up into zones, etc. With our gateway, the object server has actually become almost a shim, and it doesn't store or manage storage locally, but instead it uses S3 to store that service externally, and since HCP can support S3, we can provide our archive behind a Swift interface in a very clean way. So our archive, for example, with four nodes, you could build a basic cluster and manage up to four petabytes of storage with four servers. This can grow by adding additional nodes, and you can manage up to 80 petabytes with no size restrictions and a host of other features as well, backed by the reliability and manageability of the Hitachi storage family. So there are a lot of features inside of HCP. I can't sell it to you this afternoon. One of the ones I did want to show you though is that it has a built-in query engine, which is based on Hadoop, and that becomes useful because most object stores are pools of storage, but it's a lot harder to figure out what it is that's in your pool once it's located in there. In order to do that, I want to introduce you quickly to what's inside an object store. So at the logical level, you have obviously objects. An object really is a blob with some metadata. It might have a naming system. When you go to actually manage it physically, then you have a lot of file systems which themselves don't scale that well. If you tie the file system together on many nodes and you store the attributes perhaps in XFS, then you have an object store. So HCP is a little different, but in principle it provides the same components. So if we take a look at Horizon and inside of Swift, we'll see there are containers. Those are logical sub-areas, if you will, of objects. And we've defined two as an example here, one for volume backups and one that I'll use for demonstration. And by highlighting volume backups, you'll see there's a set of objects and each of those objects actually may have a compound name and the backup will split the object into segments because there's a size limitation. And if you take a look at any object, you'll find there's metadata that describes it to the system. So here's an example of the object details on a single file. And inside that object repository, you might have blobs, but you can also store metadata as an object. In this case, down at the right here, you see the header for a backup. It's stored as a piece of XML as a Swift object and associated with it is a set of metadata shown at the top. And that metadata is transported in HTTP headers. So what you're looking at on the top here are the standard headers that accompany an object, a timestamp, and so forth. Inside of our content repository, we would define what we call a tenant, which has obvious parallel to open stack tenants. And inside each tenant, we can manage namespaces, which are similar to containers. And for a namespace, we have various properties, so we'll enable searching. And inside the namespace, if we were to browse down, you'd see up at the top in the gold, the orange print, a true hierarchy of names, because HTTP looks like a global file system. And inside a given object, there is two kinds of data. There's system metadata, which is stored for every object, and there's custom metadata. And to support S3, what we've done is we've created additional metadata or custom metadata to manage the S3 headers that aren't part of our core infrastructure. So as a little demonstration here, what I'm going to quickly do is I use CloudBerry and I've added a header. In this case, very original name, I call it Metafoo, and I'm going to store the value of bar, and I'm going to attach it to an object. And you'll see that it ends up in our custom metadata. There's a foo and a bar, and that may not seem very useful, but when you pair it to our search engine and realize that you can search for anything by content or by metadata, we can build complex searches using, in this case, an S3 Swift profile that allows us to look at the metadata and do queries and locate objects extremely quickly. So this is just an example of how we can tie our content platform with its built-in search capabilities and using Swift, and I think you enjoy the rest of your show.


Thank you very much, Ambassador. I believe I'm the only one person from this session who spoke last year in the similar session regarding America and President Trump, who had just won the election. I hope I was invited back because I did such a great job in predicting what was going to happen with the new Trump presidency. Ambassador, you just spoke, you told the truth, so no, actually, yes, you're right, I have to go back today. And it's very ironic that I will be speaking about President Trump, whom I have never met yet, but whom I will meet in the next few days after my presentations here today. As I was going through my notes from what I said last year, I was correct in most of my predictions, except for one, which I will explain to you later. First, I predicted that you will see an immediate shift from President Obama's liberal policies to a very conservative policies of President Trump. President Trump, in one of his first appointments, appointed a very conservative Supreme Court justice as I predicted, and he will continue to appoint conservative justices as some of the older ones will be retiring soon. I also said that his winning slogan, Make America Great Again, will be good news for those who do business inside the U.S., but a big challenge for those who exports to the U.S. from abroad. He has really turned the world upside down in that respect. For example, I have a big factory in the United States where we just celebrated our 25th anniversary. My late father, the founder of my company, built the factory and passed away a few years later after it was in full operations. Unfortunately, the factory didn't do very well over the years, so every time I visited my father's grave, I reported to him that your company is doing very well, but you made one big mistake in building the factory in America.    And there's more good news. President Trump is going to lower the corporate tax from 35% to 20%. Terry, this is even good news for you because just from the tax cuts, my company will be able to continue to support your conference for the years to come. So you are the beneficiary of the Trump tax cuts. I also said that President Trump will demand changes in the existing trade agreements, which is already happening now with NAFTA and trade agreement between Korea and the U.S. I predicted that President Trump will ask ally countries like Korea, Japan and NATO to pay more for the cost of the U.S. presence in their countries and in the region. You remember when he visited the NATO, President Trump said, I like your new building, but I won't ask you how much it costs. As soon as he said that, I think all the countries are spending about 2% on defense. So the God is the man there. Finally, I said that the biggest change will be in the area of immigration, especially for those coming from Muslim countries in Mexico. The good days of the entire family immigrating to America for better lives and opportunities are almost over, unless you're qualified with some skill sets and be able to speak English. I made sure earlier that I was wrong in one prediction, which was I thought once President Trump took office, he will speak with more caution and in a more conciliatory tone with some demeanor. I was completely wrong in every aspect. And in fact, President Trump has gotten worse. He brags, he lies, he tweets, and can't seem to control himself. But despite all that, a lot of Americans still like him and support him. The polls show that his popularity is the lowest for a president in his first year. But don't believe those polls. How wrong was the poll when they predicted that Hillary Clinton was going to win by a landslide? Likewise, there's a lot of Americans who criticize President Trump because it's embarrassing to support him or to say otherwise. But deep down their hearts, a lot of Americans quietly like and support him. So since I was correct in most of my predictions from last year, except one, let me give you some predictions for next year. President Trump's slogan, Make America Great Again, really means Make America Strong and Rich Again. I think his tax cuts will be popular with both the corporate world and for those who are in the lower income bracket. The bracket will be lower from 7 to 4. The U.S. economy is thriving these days as stock markets are breaking record of every few weeks. The unemployment rate is very low, getting lower. And around 250,000 new jobs was just recently created for the month of September. So economically, America is going to do very well next year at the expense of other countries. There will be a readjustment in the trade agreements like NAFTA and the U.S.-Korea trade agreements that will benefit the U.S. with changes in the tax law. With some of the changes in the negotiations, with changes in the tax laws and tax cuts, many American companies will bring their assets and cash back to the United States. From overseas, there will be a lot of foreign companies that will be building factories and buying assets in the U.S. I mentioned earlier about the late successes of my factory in the U.S. We are at the moment already preparing to build another facility in the U.S. So the economic outlook is very good for the U.S. next year. The challenge for President Trump next year will be the midterm elections. But with such good economic outlook, I think the Republican Party will be able to hold on to the majority or even increase the majority in both the Senate and the House. The biggest challenge for President Trump will be the outcome of the special prosecutors' inquiries on his Russian connections before the elections. But I don't think it is going to lead to his impeachment. There are so many layers to get to the top, and I don't think it will reach to him. On the diplomatic side, you may not like to hear this, but I think Mr. Trump is the right person in dealing with North Korea, as well as the terrorist organizations. America was very weak and passive in dealing with North Korea and the situation in Syria during the Obama years. I think President Trump will resolve the North Korea issue one way or another, hopefully in a peaceful way, but that will depend on Kim Jong-un. I think the terrorist organizations will continue to be weakened almost to a point of extinction, as he will spend all the heavy military resources and intelligences to go after them. So overall, despite the fact that he is uncontrollable, vulgar, and insulting, President Trump is going to survive. I just wish that he could be more honest, modest, and a compassionate person, but I don't think that would happen anytime soon. I ended up in my presentation last year by singing a line from Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan's song called, The Times They Are Changing, and Boy Have The Times Changed. I won't end the song by singing this year, but I think there's a perfect song that somehow depicts both President Trump's personal and political life. It's called, The Winner Takes It All by Abba. And yes, President Trump knows he's the winner, and he wants to take it all. Thank you.


Hi, my name is Gina Witherow. I'm the director of Johnny Gaul English Language School. We are a family business and we were established 30 years ago. And we specialize in English and adventure packages. We also offer other programs as well, but our main programs generally are the English and adventure packages. So, Peter, thank you for including me in this presentation. I really appreciate it. I looked at your questions and I suppose one of the questions was, what challenges have we faced? I think one of the biggest ones was the limited time that we had to prepare. We had, I think we were given six hours notice to close our doors. And so what we were doing is we were looking at the third level education and what they were doing. And we had a few days where we thought that we were going to have to go online. And we started to do test runs of teaching online because some of my teachers had no experience in online teaching. We started looking at the different software, etc. But we were inexperienced, to be honest. Another challenge we had was initial resistance from students. We were all thrown into the deep end ourselves. We didn't know what was going on, but also with the students. I mean, it was hard enough for us and we're in our own country, so you can understand from their end if they're, you know, from Brazil or Columbia and they're here and they just don't know what's going on. So there was a bit of resistance there. There was so many unknowns was another major issue. When were we going to get to open again? How strong was this virus? There was just an unknown and limited answers at every corner that we turned. And I think the immediate one that we had an issue with was the loss of personal connection. Because one of the reasons why students choose Dell's is because of that personal connection that we have with them. We're there in the first day to meet them, bring them into the class, we have a cup of tea and a biscuit with them at break time and all of that was lost, you know, within a few hours. So they were some of the main challenges that we had. And how we responded to them was, once we got over the shock of it all, we started to reevaluate everything from how we were teaching our goals, our health and safety, everything, going down to rules in the classroom, you know, about having your camera on or, you know, have patience if somebody has connection issues they were just it was everything had to be reevaluated. And I think one of the biggest ones was communication. We kept that open door communication, albeit in a different context, you know, we had regular online meetings with the students we already had a WhatsApp group. You know, we're not we're small school. So, you know, we always have a maximum of 50 adults. And so, you know, we can do that but we then introduced a classroom WhatsApp groups. So there's that constant opportunity to connect with somebody and to be reassured and support was a really big one. And we supported ourselves as a team, because we were all thrown into deep end. And we also, you know, we have our little WhatsApp group ourselves and, you know, bit of crack few messages, few videos just to keep it lighthearted but also to help each other solve problems. We work together. And then the next one that we worked on was best practice. And that's something that's continually evolving because, as I say, this is all so new for us all. And, you know, we have our documentation on best practice from the teachers perspective with online teaching, but also the students perspective. We also look at, for example, there's different websites or apps and we have documentation on that and something that we're doing at the moment is each teacher will take two things off that list that they're not currently using in that in their classroom. They will go away and use those apps or sites, and then they will report back on the pros and cons and then the other teachers can decide whether they're going to incorporate that into their classroom. So it's just looking at different ways of how we can do the best that we can and offer the students the best service. And then a big one was clear documentation and we looked at the customer journey from arrival and until when they're here. And we created a pre arrival document, and it covers everything from when you arrive what documentation you need, travel self isolation, what you can and can't do, even down to deliveries who does online deliveries what take away companies. And the reason why we did that is students have anxiety common anyway, you know, we all bring learning anxieties with us no matter what age we are. And I find sometimes adults more so.  And then when the students are here we created another document as student COVID protocol and that looks at everything about what you can and can do at each level. And also, you know, if you have symptoms if somebody is a close contact and you've symptoms, but we also included that that if we are in lockdown we've given them loads of apps and sites so if you want to work on your creativity on your academic aisles on your meditation, you know so we have a list of suggestions and sites for them there and they all really appreciate that as well. Feedback. So, from the teachers perspective it's always been great we're a small team. And they've always, you know, we're all working together and we're doing our best in a difficult situation so you know, they really have pulled it out of the bag you know, thrown themselves in at the deep end and they've been great. Initially from the students, it was, most of them were like they knew we were trying our best and knew that this was something out of all of our control but at the same time they didn't want to be online. So at the initial stages, feedback was fine. It wasn't what we were used to let's say and you know and as again we were learning by doing we didn't have two months notice to put best practice in place. So what I did here is I compared I was looking during the week at feedback kind in those initial stages, and then we did feedback last week. So, at the end of April feedback beginning in May, 82% of the students were enjoying the class that was 92% last week and 90% of the students back and end of April felt that they were getting the right support from their teacher that was 100% last week. 80% felt that they got enough opportunities to practice during this during class. That was 89% last week still room for improvement but you know the thing is is that it has improved. Back, you know, in April, 81% of students thought that their English language skills were improving and that again was 89%. So again, there's still areas that we're looking at. We've included, for example, in our social activity program conversation classes, and, you know, and we're looking at different ways to increase the learner experience. We learned, well, new skills, lots of new skills, new sites and new ways of teaching, you know, so all of that we have learned. I think one of the biggest things is not to take anything for granted because, you know, we are in such a great sector and you are ticking along and everything's going well and then the next thing, boom, so definitely don't take anything for granted. One that I feel strongly about is that paperless classes are possible. I always knew it, and I always always met with resistance from the teachers as they were photocopying 50 pages but you know it is possible and this pandemic has shown that. And even when we were back face to face, there was the photocopiers were hardly used and I think that's fantastic. I think a big one as well is it shouldn't take a pandemic for people to work together. I mean, you know, I came home 14 years ago to take over the business, and I've made more connections in this sector in the last nine months than I had in the whole 14 years. And, you know, it should be that way we should all work together we might be competition but we're all different profiles and sizes and we can all learn from each other. And I think it's one of the positives that will come out of this is that, you know, I would like to think that people will want to work together to more and to help each other because when we come out of this. We need to be the leading destination in the LT. We do, we will have competition. The market will be smaller. So it's in all of our interest to work together to offer more quality profit. And then medium to long term. And we'll continue to work on best practice and through internal training external training. We will keep some element of the online teaching we do already when we're in face to face for example with Google classrooms with some of the apps or sites that we use online. So for me, ultimately, it's all about the experience and we sell experience we offer experiences and people come to Johnny Gaul for the Johnny Gaul experience to go out surfing just outside us here to, you know, the horse riding the nature. You know, on the West Coast of Ireland, education tourism is like in the time I live in alone. It's 30% of the overall economic contribution. And we need it. We don't have Google we don't have LinkedIn this is one of our main industries. And it's vital. And for me, I'm looking forward to welcome jeans back and giving them the Johnny Gaul experience. So yeah, that's us. That's great. And I remember you, I know from talking to you before that that that you feel that the students are kind of part of the community there, because they're there for long they're there for six months and so on. And how has that kind of dynamic work for the students like outside the classroom outside the school in this kind of scenario. Well, I mean, you know, again, small town two and a half thousand people and we have like a small Brazilian population and you know they work in the local hotels initially how we would do I'm involved in tiny towns, for example. So our students come out and they help us in tiny towns, they volunteer in the local community center. So we really look at ways of how they can get involved in the community take pride in the community beach cleans or whatever projects are going on. Like some of our students are now married in the area we have a few babies and it's to be honest I think it's great I think you know the world such a big place and we're just a small area in the west coast of Ireland but you know we have certain communities live in here and they're integrated into the west coast and it makes our area more open minded, more. Yeah just more open. And yeah, it's one part of what we do that I'm very proud of to be honest. I agree with you. They're 100% like our students are not like external to the community. They become part of us. Yeah, and very often they are that kind of frontline part of us. Yes, definitely in the jobs that they do. And you know when I go into super value in the town there's a few of our students there and some of them that are no longer students and I live in here full time and you know they go hey Gina what's the crack and it's just like oh how's it going you know what I mean it's funny to hear them with their wee Irish twangs and everything but yeah and like they do they take on a lot of those roles from us in the hospitality or you know in the yeah mostly actually in hospitality and retail here but yeah they do you know they play an important role.


Terima kasih banyak. Saya ingin beritahu berapa banyak yang saya ingin beritahu untuk berada di sini, Thierry. Dan juga, terima kasih, teman-teman dan lelaki-lelaki. The State of the World, I believe, is an outdated past, and a broken present, and evolving future. Let me say it succinctly in these few minutes, the three major pillars that we deal with the State of the World, one, economics, two, societal, and largely political. Let me start with the economics part. I believe there are five major key areas in the economic state of the world that we need to look at them as key examples of what we are at contemporary. The first thing would be disparity. Disparity of the half and the half-not. I think it's a wrong slide. Let me just walk you through without the PowerPoint. The first point would be, I think the contemporary world is at the state of disparity of the half and the half-not. What do I mean by that? You can see about 15 years ago I create a rule in one of my article would be the rule of 99.1. Basically, the tendency is to have 1% of the people able to accumulate 99% of the wealth and assets. These are the disparity tendency without intervention, and there's all kinds of good and bad interventions. Bad interventions could even make it worse, but good kind interventions need to be thought through. But what we have seen is the world with capital half and capital half-not. Education half and education half-not. Skill half and skill half-not. You also see technological half and technological half-not. Innovation half and innovation half-not. And this is clearly set the scene for disparity in the world today. How do we go through the world when disparity cannot be solved and a stubborn problem that could not be tackled and you're going to create even more and more problem? We've seen some examples of the conducive environment where we see the IS at work and this we know there must be underlying problem that disparities will conducive to, for example. My second thing that I'd like to mention economically would be the rising of the new CIA. Let me mention to you in a new term, I coined some years ago again in my article. The rising of the new CIA would be C is China, I is India and A is ASEAN. And this block of countries comprises more than half of the world population and they are rising. Some of you can see clearly the rising China which is almost there, the rising India which is follow suit and the clear engine of the ASEAN if they can stay together and integrated and not following the way side. The three blocks combined, ASEAN gluing not often able to be together of India and China. We could be a formidable issue of the future. My third ideas I would like to mention in the economic situation would be multinational corporations as kings. We have seen this for years now and it's going to be even more prevalent in the coming futures. For example, just looking at the situation of China and India. In the year 2003, we have 19 of top 500 corporations that are from these countries. But a few years ago 2012, 127 of the top 500 are from India and China. These are the rising indicators of what is coming. Now multinational corporations will expand and continue to dominate. My fourth key ideas I would like to mention is I call technological convergence innovation. I do believe that we are living in a highly technological breakthrough in many spheres but yet to see the real convergence of all this technology in combination. And once it precipitate in innovations, it will drive even more in the coming future. Last point in the economic sphere would be governance crisis. I have noticed in the world in these last many years that the crisis are coming more and more due to the lack of architecture of international governance that cannot be worked out fully. Not only in each country but in the global scale. Now let me turn quickly to the second pillar, the societal pillar. Again, five key areas I want to mention. One, I see the issue of aging population coming even more at the forefront and faster than we think. We're going to have a lot of old people over 65 years of age more than roughly 17% soon and very soon. And this will present to us a problem we have never experienced in the entire human history. The second thing is refugee and migration crisis. Not only domestic migration due to displacement of people due to internal revolt and shift of power base but also international migration that will take on a major key issues that you already seeing so in the last few years in Europe taking refugees from other parts of the world. This is going to be more due to the turbulent world we are living in. I also see clearly the urbanization issues that are coming forward. Recently, I wrote an article in my own newspaper column that we need to create a new term called Macna City which is going to come. Urbanization in number is already seen half of the world living in urban areas. It will be 70% in the next few many years. But what is more interesting is how do cities of mega-size and metasize no longer going to be the issue of the future. But the future will be cities what I call Macna City which takes on the characteristics of huge number of people living together more than 50 million people in one continual block. That going to be a land mass of density that we don't know how to manage yet and is beyond what we have learned in human history. Urbanization that take on the various dimension would challenge us. Bring me to the fourth dimension also what I call morality frontier challenges due to many issues that have emerged technological advancements that bring about issues that we need to crack through ethics morality that is behind those implications. It going to come more and more into the forefront of the liberation of this issue. We will see not only the cloning that is an old issue that is going to come back again issue of mercy killing, sexual revolution the AI and robotic improvement that goes so far will bring about morality issue that we need to deal with in the coming days. We also have the last fifth issue of the societal pillars that I see coming clearly seen is terrorism fatigue and this is not only is here everywhere we accepted and we don't know how to solve it it's a fatigue which make it way down the entire world of how to handle this properly. Let me quickly turn to my last pillar political pillars. Five things again that I want to mention one we have already passed the age of bipolarity to hegemonia of unit polarity but it's moving to multi polarity with subgrouping within each of those pillars we are seeing this experiencing through the walking through in and out of various blocks and the various alliance going to be rebuilt built again and recreated in a new ways. This is the world, political world that we're going to live in. My second issue in political pillar would be moving from new world order to pause new world order. What do I mean by that? The liberal order that we have seen in the new world order will be shifted towards I think what I call the pragmatism or pragmatic order. What we have seen the announcement that come through President Trump I concur with Richard Cooper or from Harvard that it wasn't really true protectionism it's actually selective protectionism our pragmatic benefits that you are gaining and this going to be some issue that would be on the table pragmatism of Turkey in EU, our EU joining NATO, not joining NATO moving in with Russia, India or not those are some pragmatism Brexit we no longer are people ideologically consistent we are people who are more and more result or rented and pragmatic result is what we're getting at you can see Trump announcing America first national common good instead of global common good that is the issue pragmatically being dealt with at hand of desperation because of the government of each country are no longer sovereign as it meant to be the erosion of the sovereignty of each sovereign state has come through the age of globalization that we have never seen like this before and this is the real issue that is changing many things my third point that I want to mention and the political pillar will be separatism syndrome you notice that separatists are coming more and more as a reaction to the inability to to solve problem in certain cluster of grouping of affinity be it annex, religious or many other groupings you see the self-determination effort to rely on themselves by separate out see the Brexit issue the Scotland, the North Island Wales and the UK Basch from Spain and France Catalania and from Spain you see the issue or Lombardia from Italy and many other places Kurdistan that want to come out from Turkey from Iran, Iraq, Syria Tibet, Uyghur from China, Taiwan all this issue I call them separatism syndrome as a reaction to try to have some self-determination in a world where they cannot control and cannot rely on a broader grouping my fourth example would be what I call non-professional politicians being politician myself for many years I have noticed that you no longer professional politicians that are being called upon the world is depressing for a unconventional way unconventional style politics anti-establishment that have no hope and they are searching for all kinds if you look at the world having Trumps having Duterte or Philippines having people like Jakovic which is unconventional in Indonesia all types and the young leaders that emerge which we can never dream of way back are happening being elected everywhere is calling for unprofessional politician who are going to be different from the establishment they have been used to and finally my last example would be democratic breakdown I have noticed carefully when I was working together with Barterman people in Germany in the democracy index for many years in the last decade I noticed that countries have turned democratic at least informed democratic election for example are not increasing but decreasing you notice that the year 2,120 countries out of 192 are democratic by 12 years later 118 out of 194 are democratic the percentage decrease we are not moving forward we are moving backward we are rolling backward kudetar could never been expected for many places have been experienced even in my own country we was a shining star for democracy in many decades ago we rolled back to the kudetar government freedom of the people index have measured the going down of the freedom of the people therefore let me conclude by mentioning these three pillars economic, societal and political pillars and the five example I cited for each of these categories or the contemporary world of the state of the world we're living in what am I saying? I'm suggesting a definition of what I call thinking revolution that needed what is a revolution in a nutshell it started with a thinking revolution what is a thinking revolution? it is a change at the foundation and the fundamental with both of our difference until it change a paradigm of economics, political and social paradigms without that that's not a revolution indeed I think there is a need for a new revolution coming that would change the entire architecture of the new global order so that economic, political and social paradigms will be shifted and change because today we experience a broken world that we could not repair it need a revolution indeed
