Hey everyone, it's Kara back again with another luxury home tour. Today we're taking a look inside soccer legend Wayne Rooney's jaw-dropping real estate portfolio. From his humble beginnings in Liverpool to a massive and estimated net worth of over $200 million, Wayne has certainly come a long way. He and his wife call in on properties across the globe including in England, the US, and Barbados. Gone for his record-breaking gold scoring feats for clubs like Manchester United and the England national team, Rooney's career has afforded him and his family quite the enviable lifestyle. Join me as we take a look at Rooney's backgrounds, his illustrious playing days, and the lavish property he and his wife have amassed across the globe. But before that, let's take a quick look at the life and career of Wayne. Wayne Rooney comes from humble beginnings, having grown up in the working-class area of Crocs at Liverpool. His natural talent was clear from a young age and he signed his first professional contract with hometown club Everton at just 17 years old. Rooney instantly made his mark, becoming the youngest goal scorer in Premier League history during his debut season. His meteoric rise continued when he transferred to Manchester United in 2004 for a record fee. Legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson, Rooney collected an astonishing haul of trophies including 5 Premier League titles, 1 Champion League crown, 1 FA Cup and 3 League Cups. Individually he earned every conceivable accolade, including the PFA players Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year awards in 2010. Rooney remains Manchester United's all-time top goal scorer, having netted 253 goals during 13 successful seasons. Rooney also shown for England becoming the youngest player to represent the national team at just 17. He later broke Sir Bobby Charlton's long-standing England goal-scoring record, finishing with 53 goals from 119 caps. In August 2017, Rooney announced his retirement from international football as both England and Manchester United's record marksman. Now let us first take a look at Wayne's childhood home in Liverpool that really shows his rags to riches story. He grew up in the notorious Crocsith area which unfortunately was known for crime and poverty. Wayne lived here with his parents and brothers in a modest terrace house on a council estate. Even after he signed his first contract with Everton at just 17, Wayne remained proud of his work and class roots. He said, You can live in a big house and drive a night's car but I am from here and it isn't me. It just shows you can achieve great things no matter where you start out in life. Clearly this humble house never held Wayne back from soccer stardom. This modest three bedroom council house is where Reign Rooney spent his early years, living with parents Jeanette and Thomas and his two brothers. Despite moving to grander homes after finding fame in Fortran, Rooney remains proud of his working class Liverpool roots. And Wayne's wife Colleen also came from a similar background. She grew up close to her future husband and was Derby Liverpool. Her childhood home was a small brick terrace house too. Like Wayne, she never forgot where she came from, even though today she lives a very different lifestyle. Now fast forward to 2004 when Wayne became a rising star at Manchester United. He and Colleen bought their first home together in Formby, Merseyside for $900,000. The property was located on Millionaire's Row and had six spacious bedrooms, a big upgrade from their childhood. Other famous soccer stars have lived on the street too like Steven Gerrard and Ergen Klopp. So Wayne was really moving on up in the world with his lavish first home with Colleen. He bought this mansion in an upscale area of Merseyside back in 2004, shortly after his big money transfer to Manchester United. This substantial property provided an initial taste of the lavish lifestyle to come. Next, we had to cross the pond to Florida, where the Rooney family bought a vacation condo in 2007 for $320,000. The waterfront apartment was in Port Charlotte and had three bedrooms and over 1,750 square feet of space. It featured a master suite home gym and they had access to a resort style pool. The perfect Florida getaway pad for the young couple. Unfortunately, they bought it right before the recession hit, so properties in the area dropped significantly. Oops, well still, it was a sign of their growing wealth. The couple purchased this holiday home in Port Charlotte in 2007, the three-bed condo boasted its own pool, jam arena, access as well, but they likely lost some money due to that recession. Now let's check out Wayne and Colleen's next family home in Cheshire, England. In 2006, they spent $2.6 million on land and the affluent town of Prestbury. They then constructed a custom-built mansion here with six huge ensuite bedrooms, the home theater, swimming pool, with pink walls and more, but some of the flashy renovations irked their new neighbors who complained it was destroying the character of the area. Wayne called it horrendous with fake pillars and marble bathrooms. I guess you can't please everyone. Either way, the young couple lived in this large pad for over a decade before selling it for nearly $5 million in 2019. After custom-building this dream sixth bedroom home, the Roonies lived in the English countryside manner for over a decade. At least when they sold it, it sold at a major profit. Now on to Barbados. In 2010, Wayne and Colleen added a Caribbean jewel to their property crown, a $5 million Barbados vacation rental. This spot is located in the exclusive Royal Westmoreland estate, where many celebrities own home. The lavish villa has five bedrooms, an infinity pool and incredible ocean views. And it can be rented for over $25,000 a week. So the Roonies are definitely profiting from this paradise property. Guests even get complimentary golf and a buggy to drive around the resort. One of Roonies most stunning investments has definitely got to be this property and not to mention he's making money off of it from wealthy vacationers. No wonder Wayne loves to spend time in Barbados and soak up the island lifestyle. In 2017, Wayne and Colleen bought a 40-acre plot of rural land in Cheshire and now it's worth $20 million. This would become the site of their dream mansion dubbed High Lake Manor. Construction started but was delayed due to COVID, but by 2021, their custom-built palace was finally complete. The lavish country estate has a reported price tag of nearly $20 million, as mentioned. It spans a whopping six bedrooms, all with en suites, a home gym with indoor pool, movie theater, wine cellar, everything you could imagine. There's also two man-made fishing lakes, stables for 14 horses and even an underground tunnel to a six-car garage. But despite all the luxury features, some people have mocked the exterior for looking like a grocery store chain thanks to its big block shape. Well, guess he can't please them all. Currently, their family residence is this newly constructed 40-acre estate and it allows the Roonies a peaceful life while still being close to Manchester. Either way, it's clear Wayne and Colleen have come a long way from their humble childhood homes. Their sprawling mansion and property portfolio reflect their incredible wealth today. With an estimated 115 million pound net worth, there's no doubt Wayne and Colleen Rooney are now far removed from their humble Northwest England upbringing. Their property portfolio reflects their phenomenal success, especially Wayne's on-field accomplishments and lucrative playing contracts. That's Rooney's estate connected with his working-class background. After a brief managerial stint with Derby County, he's returned to the United States to coach DC United, one of his former clubs. As Wayne embarks on this next chapter, he can feel proud of his immense impact on English football. And with a young family to raise, he can provide Colleen and their four sons with homes worthy of the comfortable lifestyle. To wrap up this episode and say this question for me, what was your favorite property that Wayne and Colleen have owned over the years? There's quite a few to choose from, so let me know down in the comments. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and follow me on Instagram to chat. I'm Kara and I'll see you all in another video. Bye!

See you guys later


guys last night we were so tired went to bed at around like 8 p.m. here and we were fighting to stay awake for those last few hours because we wanted to kind of stick it out so we can try to get on their time zone but oh my gosh it was so hard and I slept from like 8 p.m. until 3 a.m. and then we both woke up at 3 a.m. and we couldn't fall back asleep so we both just went on our phones for a couple of hours until 5 and then we fell back to sleep at 5 Joel woke up at like 8 o'clock I could not get myself to get out of bed until 12 because 8 o'clock is like 2 a.m. Vancouver time so when I woke up my body literally felt like it was the middle of the night it was crazy I'm like why am I so tired right now and I thought that my body would easily justify just went to bed at 8 p.m. last night but apparently my body still knew that it was the middle of the night so I was fighting and anyways I ended up going to sleep until 12 p.m. because I just couldn't do it like I just needed the rest and I did we didn't really sleep the night before anyways um it's already like 3 o'clock but yeah these next couple days I'm just we're just gonna be getting adjusted to the time zone kind of getting to know the area a little bit today I just want to focus on organizing all of my stuff because I have so many things and there's like as you can see a little closet behind me Joel said that he doesn't want to put any of this stuff away so he's fine with keeping it in his luggage so I guess he told me that I can have everything which is kind of nice I mean there's not like a bunch of space but there's like a good amount where I can still kind of organize my things but anyways yeah I guess I should get unpacking today and then hopefully feel a little bit more normal tomorrow morning because like my body just still feels a little out of whack I'm just gonna set up my camera and then do a little montage of me kind of organizing my things as you can see I have so much just like stuff everywhere already because I've been trying to find like certain things and I already made it a mess so I'm excited to just like make it all nice and clean in here unpacking is officially done my luggage is are now empty Hayes actually sent me these luggage I will link them down below they're so cute I'm obsessed but yeah I got a matching set from them so adorable they have so many cute luggage on their website so I'll link everything down below if you guys are looking for luggage so I put mostly everything in the closet there's actually like a lot of space in here but it just so much nicer having everything organized think I'm gonna take the luggage is and put them in the entry way just so that they're out of the room so that the room can look nice and clean like it just fit perfectly just in the entry way it's nice how they're out of the way now so yeah this is perfect morning you guys currently like 9 o'clock right now and I'm just getting ready for the day obviously what I really like about here is that I have been getting myself ready every single day no matter what I'm doing and that's something that I wouldn't do back at my apartment like I wouldn't get myself ready every single day because if it was like raining outside I just like wouldn't feel motivated to get myself ready and I would just be like in we're just gonna stay no makeup in our pajamas all day and it would honestly make me feel like shit doing that because then at the end of the day I feel like I was just so like icky even though like there are days where like that is necessary where you just gotta have a pajama and no makeup day and just lounge around like that don't get me wrong but I was doing those way too often and the gloomy weather just did not inspire me to get ready because there was nothing to get ready for like when it was raining because it's not like I wanted to go take any photos if I wasn't filming that day I really didn't care since the weather has been like absolutely gorgeous I've been really inspired to film really inspired to take photos here I've been getting ready every single day and just like doing some light makeup you know making myself a presentable putting on a cute outfit and it's made the world of a difference it's just made me feel so much better but yeah anyways I just went in with my next concealer this is my favorite one of all time it's the bare with me concealer serum and I use this in the shade vanilla but yeah it's just like so inspiring being here and it's crazy like how much the weather and the scenery changes your mood changes how you feel on a day-to-day basis and I feel like I just don't have to force myself here to get ready and sometimes that's what I would do back at my apartment is like I have to force myself to get ready for the day but here just like I want to get ready for the day and it's like such a different vibe the weather it's just like beautiful it's a slightly humid here it's not like like in Mexico it was like super humid that's the only thing I have to really compare to but yeah Mexico was super humid when I went but here is like the perfect amount of humidity like it's not like super humid but I can definitely feel like the change in the air but it's perfect because it really helps my dry skin to be honest and yeah I really like the air here I've been trying to get myself into a morning routine here because it's been really hard since jet lag was just really bad it only lasted a few days but I feel like it kind of like lingers on for a while until your body like really fully adjusts but yeah I've been trying to get into a morning routine because obviously that's gonna kind of look different here than it did back at home I'm not gonna be going to the gym anymore really I'm just gonna probably be just doing like at home workouts or just like going on a walk in the morning on the beach or just doing something like outdoors would be nice I gotta figure out that but I don't know maybe I'll just like put on a Pilates video in the morning I don't 100% sure what I'm gonna do yet but I'll figure that out definitely gonna still do like my yoga every morning but I've been just like giving myself praise like it's good to be disciplined and it's good to be you know hard on yourself at times but there's also times and periods and phases where it's good to just chill and it's good to just live a chill relaxed life as well and finding that balance is definitely really important but yeah I've just been kind of letting my body adjust to everything because it's like a big you know it's a big change here I'll get into a routine eventually and once I find like a routine that I really like I really like want to go probably like on a beach walk every morning like that would just be so nice see the kind of just feel like a new person here I honestly just kind of feel like my best self and like the best version of myself here and I don't know if that's just because like change of scenery but I just feel really good here and I feel really happy I don't know your environment definitely helps and when you do something that puts you out of your comfort zone it helps you grow and that's what I feel like I'm doing I have never even been on a plane by myself or with Joel just like us two alone like this is our first thing that we've ever done like completely alone which is crazy yeah it's definitely gonna take some adjusting but like I said your comfort zone keeps you home so it's important to do these types of things in your life in my opinion if you just like stay stagnant your whole life and do the same thing every day for a whole entire life I just feel like that kind of holds you back a bit I just personally feel like I'm somebody who needs like a scenery change and stuff for me to thrive and I know everyone's different but personally I just feel like that's my journey and especially just for now at least like in my 20s I just feel like I need to prioritize that to help me grow and yeah especially because I have the ability to just you know go anywhere in the world really I'm so thankful for that this life that I'm living right now it was just a dream a couple few years ago like this was just a thought this was just a dream this just all started with a manifestation with a little seed planted in my head and now I'm actually here and it's crazy to think about that how the law of attraction works how the universe works in high school when I didn't believe in like the law of attraction and I didn't really know about any of this if you told me that I would be a full-time youtuber living across the world I would be like yeah right when I was in high school I didn't really have the same mindset I didn't believe that I can just do something like this because I didn't believe I was worthy enough I didn't believe that it was possible but anything is possible anything you set your mind to you can do even if it seems like the biggest goal in the world and it seems like you don't want attainable like it is attainable you can do anything and I say that was so much confidence because the only reason why people fail is if they quit if they stop believing in themselves or if they never believed in themselves as long as you believe in yourself and you know that you're gonna get it you will get it it just takes time and you can't quit during the process and that's what makes things hard because it's really tempting to quit when you're working towards a goal whether that be you're in school and you want to become a doctor or whatever like it's going to be tempting to quit because it's hard it's a lot of hard work and it takes a lot of time and the most rewarding feeling is pushing past that and not quitting and persevering and that is when you're going to make it to the finish line I've been using this dewy coconut setting mist by ELF and I really like it yeah just thought I'd put that out there also I've been using this drunk ELF lip lip balm and I actually really like it also I just want to kind of live in the moment more like just start doing stuff that I wouldn't wouldn't normally do that are out of my comfort zone the thing is is that money money comes and goes okay like money at the end of the day you just have to realize that it's not real we don't take it with us when we die like money is only temporarily here on earth well our souls are occupying our human body obviously we need money and everything but it's also just really important to remember to not attach yourselves to it and to realize that it's like you will attract money back towards you if you follow your inner desires and that's something that I've learned is like doing these scary things and stepping out of my comfort zone is when I attract the most money because I'm fulfilling my inner desires and the universe is going to reward you for that we only have one chance at this life for all we know we may as well take advantage of that and do the best that we can every single day take advantage of every single opportunity and just live our damn lives to the fullest like it's so important I do want to settle down one day like that is the plan probably for my late late 20s I really want to like get a house and settle down you know have a little family but for right now I'm just gonna live my life to the fullest we're just about to leave this is the outfit that I threw on I just have these white parachute pants because it's kind of like an awkward day today it's like sunny a little bit sunny but it's also cloudy so it's not the hottest today it's around probably 20 degrees celsius and it's always a little windy here because of the ocean so you get that sea breeze but anyways so these pants are like perfect for the temperature and then i'm just wearing this black tube top with my little purse and that is it and i'm just gonna put on my probably like my adidas sneakers or something to walk there but we're just gonna go out to get some breakfast I'm also just probably gonna throw over this or bring this mini little sweater but I've been wearing this with like every outfit here because it's just like the perfect sweater and it matches with everything and I want to wear it for every outfit but it gets so repetitive so let me know if you guys know anything I can get that's like a something different yeah we're gonna head out and get our little coffees and orange juice potentially freshly squeezed let's go at the grocery store just to talk up on a couple little things we're probably gonna start doing online orders instead because this store is like super small but yeah it has like everything like the essentials that you would need is that sunscreen they have 30 tanning ones he laid out yesterday and like drove out of a burn on his chest and I don't know I'm maybe looking a tiny bit red too but we definitely need sunscreen from now on I just got us a spray it's been easy so yeah no this is good this 50 no wait what 30 30 sps should we get 50 or 30 so I guess 30 and we just reapply okay guys so now it's time for the apartment tour this apartment is so cute the person who owns it just paints so much attention to every little detail like how the colors work like there's a blue theme going on and just like so cute minimalistic but still so cute just like the little details this is where you come in and I just have like my luggage is here because I feel like they're stored best here just because they're out of the way just don't really like a closet or anything to put them in so yeah got the luggage here and then we got a little coat hanger which is really cute we don't really have any jackets to hang out but if we did it's perfect and like nice and it matches like the would-see beach theme then you go down this hallway and then you have a little cute photo of a drop the art in here is just so cute and then here's a little console table where we just put our like purses and stuff and there's a mirror here which is really cute so you can kind of check yourself out for your house you come in here to the left is the bathroom just like marble on the walls which is really cool and yeah there's not really much storage in here there's just two drawers here so I kind of have my stuff in like my makeup bags and my cosmetic bags here and then there's just washer there's no dryers in Europe I feel like everybody hang drys their clothing which is not bad it's definitely way better for the environment so I'm not going to complain about it but yeah there's just a little washer which is nice at least we have that so we don't need to have much our clothes but then you come out from the bathroom and this is our bedroom so cute I just love how minimalistic it is the blue matches you'll see the kitchen like the bed spread and then of course we have my little room in here in the middle that I brought with me and then yeah even like the night tables are so cute they match up the wood theme it's like beachy vibes I love it I brought my 5 minute journal of course and then you go over here there's kind of a closet here that I have some stuff in as you guys saw but yeah it's a perfect downer space I don't really need much because I kind of bring much since I can only really I only really brought a luggage so this is where we dry our clothes this opens up like this and like the blinds go up there's not all the way up right now but as you can see there's like clothing line um so that's where you're supposed to dry your clothes so the bathroom is right there across from the bathroom this is where you walk in the main living area and kitchen so here it's this cute little blue couch like I said it paints so much attention to the little details it's so cute um and look at this drop it is just so adorable like I love the arm in here and as you can see he literally matches pink pillow with the photo and then the blue one looks like are you thinking it's so cute um and then yeah we have the plants in the corner nothing too crazy but it's just like perfect minimalistic all we need two windows here which is really nice for the view and we still have the same white together one it's just so nice just to keep it open like this I don't know why we haven't kept this open the view is just so pretty and we can see the ocean from here can you go here is the kitchen this is my favorite part of the place the blue theme I'm obsessed with like come see this like the little sugar coffee and then like the machine the espresso machine blue cutlery like where do you even find this look at this dish top like everything matches um got some dishes you know the regular kind of kitchen thing and there's even a dishwasher I feel like that's not really common here but you've got a dishwasher which is really nice then you've got a little cute fridge which we barely have any groceries in because we've been eating out like every single day because how could you not um and then a cute little freezer I made some ice cubes for our ice coffee but even the little stove top is blue and then even this little like fruit basket blue and like wood like I can't wait to film videos in this kitchen because it's just so perfect and adorable so then you come over here and this is the desk um there's like a monitor that you can watch TV on and put your laptop in and then we got our cute table here where I like to do my work on some really cute art the table and you get the view comes out like this but yeah that is the apartment there's also a cute little like table and chairs and like lounge chairs if you want to sit out in town or whatever it's just like a lot different than Vancouver like the style of everything but I honestly like really love the difference between it and like the architecture here I prefer it just because it's so like homey it's so rustic I don't even know how to describe it but like the European style is just so cute it's definitely gonna inspire me when I buy my own house one day and like what I'm gonna want it to look like anyways I hope you guys welcome to the crib we're just about to head out for dinner because we're hungry people in Europe they eat dinner at or I don't know if it's all in Europe but I googled it and I'm like what time do people eat dinner in Europe and apparently people eat dinner here at 9 we were so confused because the restaurants only opened at like 6 p.m or like 7 p.m like earliest that's when they open then we're like what the hell like that's so late but then we noticed that the parking lot gets so busy in front of the restaurants at like 9 10 o'clock because that's when people go to dinner here so it's only like 6 37 right now so when we go for dinner at this time it's hilarious because we're like the only ones in the restaurant which is kind of nice like it's not bad because we get a seat but it's just crazy how different that is like I feel like even dinner that late is so weird but here it's just normal so let me show you guys what we got at the grocery store so I ended up finding oat milk because I've been looking for this and it was in this section that I didn't see so I'm excited to try this tomorrow I'm probably just gonna make it um within espresso and see how it turns out but yeah I found oat milk so I'm super happy we just got this and then sunscreen but yeah so right now we're just gonna go for dinner probably just the same place that we went to eat breakfast I honestly haven't really been cooking at all because we've been wanting to try out all the restaurants and so having been cooking so until we feel satisfied with like trying everything then we're just gonna eat out honestly which is like until we get sick of it I guess but it's like we got to experience their food here and so that's what we're gonna do but I feel like in a couple weeks I'll probably do some grocery shopping and start cooking some dinner and stuff but I feel like we're always gonna go off for breakfast just because it's like nice to walk to a cute little cafe and get a coffee like it's just like a vibe let's go


For the past few days on this channel, I've been playing through one of my favorite old-school Dragon Ball Z games, Infinite World. When I started the game, I thought I would maybe do one video on it, and it would just be a nice nostalgic trip down memory lane, but very quickly I realized that this game is impossible. Raditz cooked me, Bubbles cooked me, Napa cooked me, Vegeta cooked me, Raccoon cooked me, Ginyu I beat really quickly, and Frieza folded me. Now of course, at the end of the day, I did eventually win all of these fights after spending an hour on each of them, but today we are facing Frieza in his full power form. And I'll be honest, I am terrified of how long this video is going to take me. Okay! The time has come, enough waiting around. I said I would beat Frieza as a Super Saiyan. Let's see what skills I actually have here. Can transform up to Super Saiyan. We lost the ability to do the Spirit Bomb, but we've gained Super Saiyan, and you know what? That's all I can ask for. We're beating Frieza on hard right now. Frieza dies here. Oh, hey, what up, guys? You did it, Goku! Yeah, we... Never mind. What am I talking about? We beat Frieza. Well, of course we already beat Frieza. What'd you freak it out about, Krillin? Oh. Uh-oh. Oh my God, Krillin got airlifted up in like three seconds flat! Oh my God, these cutscenes. Oh, no! Damn! Krillin got eviscerated in this game! Won't let you get away with this! Oh, let's go! Wow, I just transformed instantly. Now it's your turn, Frieza. Oh my God.  Let's go! Oh, I'm already a Super Saiyan. I don't have to transform to beat him. Why does he have 17 bars of health? What in the name of what? Okay, if Frieza has this much health, then it's really gonna come down to just how long we can just wail on him. Without him stop- Oh, wait, we're a Super Saiyan. I forgot! There's a difference between me and him. He's Frieza and I'm Goku. Ugh! Wait a minute, dude. Like, I've been wailing on him for so long. I've been wailing on this guy for so long and it just does not matter right now. I guess I technically have- No, I have the same amount of keys as him. Finally, after eight years, we can see a bit of greed in his health bar. Oh, he's about to punch me. Retry. Before he can take away my ability. I gotta look for the straight- I gotta look for where I can dodge. No, we're not gonna let him do that to us. Blow him away. That Kamehameha combo is gonna be huge.  I am dodging everything he throws. Ah, except for grabs. I can't- I can't dodge a grab. I can't even take a grab, honestly, so it's like whatever. Nah, Frieza, you think I'm giving up? I ain't giving up. I ain't giving up. That's the thing. I don't give up in Super Saiyan form. Let's go. Huge damage. I give up. I surrender. I'm not way through that cutscene again, man. Come on, Frieza. Come on. Ugh, come on. Damn. He got me in the corner. I gotta get out of here. What? How did that still hit me? I dodged that. Damn, he just kicked me across a football field. Oh, brother. He is abusing that form like I normally do. Alright, you win. God, Frieza is just an absolute menace. He just will not rest until all of my fun has been sucked out of my body.  God, there's just nothing you can do to stop this in power form. It's just so much damage. Ah, ah, oh my God, Frieza almost took me out. God, you can't, you can't dodge those first two. You gotta dodge a bigger hit than that. God, I gotta remember so much tech. Damn, damn, damn. It's insane what they're asking me to do here.  No, that was close. Oh my God, Frieza almost beat me. I mean, technically he did, but we didn't have to wait through eight hours of cutscenes. Okay, wait, wait, Frieza, Frieza, Frieza, Frieza, Frieza. Frieza, Frieza, Frieza. There, now it's a fair fight. Wouldn't you agree? Oh, that was sick.  No, I mean, understandable. Huge damage. Huge damage. Honestly, let's just keep doing that. Why not? Why not?  I don't think so. We've got him pretty low. We've got him pretty low compared on, in terms of Frieza health. Like, he might as well be on his, damn. Damn, he knocked me out. Oh, look who got exhausted, huh? Oh, little Frieza need a nap. Never mind. I need a nap. I need a nap. I need a nap. Look at these cups. He's just absolutely walking me, man. He's just destroying me. There's just no way. He tried it, dude. He really wanted to. All right, this really was Frieza's game, honestly.  Oh, I got him right up against the corner. Oh, nice grab, Frieza. He stops my charge punch. All right, you win. You win, you win, you win. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, he tried to kill me right there. Oh, why can that hit off the ground? Why is Frieza so cheap? No, you don't. Yes, you do. There we go. That's the kind of damage I want to see right there. Give me more of that. Not more of this, not more of this, not more of this.   If I didn't dodge right there, I would have had to sit through eight minutes of cut scenes.  Frieza, this is going to take an hour. Everything he does hits for like 8,000.  Okay, I'm liking this round so far. Liking this round so far, nothing too bad. Not the time to get exhausted, not the time to get exhausted. He has to be on the verge of getting exhausted, right? Like, I'm going to get free damage soon. Surely, surely I'm getting free damage soon. He grabbed me. He almost killed me. Like, look at how much he hit me for, man. There's just no way they expected anybody to be able to do this, man. How is any 8-year-old supposed to be able to play on this difficulty? This is just unreal difficulty, okay? Who am I kidding, dude? I'm already way too late in my health bar. I'm already way too late in my health bar.  Let me help my hand here a little bit. Let me just restart, because that was bad. That was, as they say, embarrassing. Anyway, all right, let's go. Oh, don't even try it, Frieza. I heard that little super input. Come on, don't go burst mode. Now I got to go burst mode, and I'm tired.  I don't know what it was at the beginning. This felt so much easier. Like, our first couple of tries, I was like, damn, I'm kind of just like that, I guess. But now it's just like, damn, Frieza got hands for real.  What a dodge. We needed that. Oh, I'm nice. That grab is so good. Go to the burst mode, Goku! Please! I'm trying my hardest. Oh, my God, my hands.  Frieza's going to make me quit this game. What is this damage? Oh, 376, we love to see that. Oh no, there we go, there we go. I'm not going to lie, we're kind of working with something here. Oh, beautiful defensive segment. Looking like we know what we're doing out here. We got him on the ropes. Super dragon fist. Ah, just going through a grab, throw him a two-quarter. We actually have a health lead, is what I would say when we had a health lead. Okay, so now we're going to start cheating. Now we're going to start cheating, huh, Frieza? I'm going all the way with this one. I don't care, I don't care, we're pushing this. I'm going to win this time. Never give up, no! No, I just want to give up on a run that good. I couldn't give up on a run that good, I had to believe in myself. And it got me nowhere, but I'm not quitting yet.  I think you just stay as close to the top as possible. I don't really know, I don't get that minigame at all. But you know what I do get? I get Frieza, I get his moves, now I see what he's going for. I get his moves, I see what he's going for. Okay, Super Dragon Fist didn't work, but we'll take it. Come on, come on, step on the gas, step on the gas, Goku. No, why'd I get exhausted? Don't get exhausted now. Now is not the time for that. Never give up, never give up, never surrender. No!  My God, what a dodge in the clutch! Slow-mo, slow it down, look at Frieza, I knocked him out. I knew he was behind me, I'm different. I'm just different, that was sick.  I don't know why Goku's walking that slow. Oh my God.  Get some of my energy after that. The strongest in the universe!   They didn't feel like animating Goku firing the beam, so they just did a PNG. B, I'll take a B rank honestly, that's not a big deal. I'll take a B rank. My right arm actually hurts, it's not even funny. I was putting my whole... Wait, do I have to escape Namek now? Oh no. Do I actually have to escape Namek?  Find the spaceship you had to get out of here. Oh no, I have to escape Namek! I have to run! Oh my God, this place does not have long at all, dude. I need to find Frieza's spaceship and put the... Why is there a piece of meat out there? It is so hot, oh, there's the ship. The planet's going to explode. Yeah, you don't have to tell me that, Goku, let's go. Oh, we have to get 13 rings. Ow, ow, the lava, ow, hot. Oh my God, the lightning strikes are killing me. I also need... I guess I can get meat for health? What am I, a lightning rod, man? Like, why? I'm trying, Kinkai. I'm getting comboed! I'm getting comboed! I'm getting absolutely comboed right now. I'm getting comboed. I need to find meat. This is not good. Is there a way to block? There's a piece of meat right there, but I don't know if I'll make it. I'm too tired. I made it, I made it, I made it. Okay, okay. There's another piece of meat right there, but I'm not super down bad. I think I'm just going to get this stamina. Just hurry, I got to find this dumb ship. No, I'm getting comboed again into the lava. Ow, ow, ow, my feet. Oh, I dodged it. That was sick. Okay, I can only dodge it if I sprint, and I can only sprint if I have stamina. Right there, right there. That's it, that's the one. Super Taked Speed. Nice! We made it. We made it just at the nick of time. Let's go, we're going all the way home. What he doesn't know is that it won't be all the way home. There it is, dude. There's the ship. Get inside. Damn, nobody taught me how to move these things, dude. I'm slipping. No! Damn, that's sad. Dude, we just exploded. And so the tale of Namek came to an end. Oh, never mind. Perungus here. That was immediate. We'd like to wish our friends Goku and Krillin who died- I have called the soul of the one called Krillin. However, I cannot call the soul of the one called Goku. What? But why not? He can't call Goku because Goku's still alive, spoilers. I cannot call a soul if it belongs to one of the living. And with that, we have officially escaped Namek and are moving on to... Actually, I don't know. The Android Saga, I guess, is next. The Android Saga. We landed safely. Safe and sound back on Earth. And versus Gohan. What? The Cell Saga. Oh, my God. Okay, we skipped the Android Saga. But if you guys want to see the Cell Saga, let me know by leaving a like on the video or down below in the comments because my arm hurts and we're ending it with Frieza versus Super Saiyan Goku. Kind of a short one, but, damn, this still took a while for me to record. My arm. My arm is in pain.


The study aims to capture the current state of conceptualizations of gamification and serious games in health care research and provide tools for researchers to disambiguate the reporting of game-based interventions, finding that less than half of the concept mentions are accompanied by an explicit definition and identifying four common approaches to distinguish between the two concepts. The study developed a set of guidelines called Gaming for Rigorous Reporting on Study Results of Game-Based Interventions.

Our guests and friends from Indonesia here today for the Indonesia Conference at CSIS. I'd like to welcome, in particular, Minister Marty Nadelegawa, just arrived in Washington and came straight here. Thank you, Mr. Minister, for joining us. And my good friend and co-conspirator, Ambassador Dino Dejal, thank you so much. The same is true for Joe Yun. Joe Yun has been a great leader of the U.S.-Indonesia relationship and the U.S.-Asian relationship, and Joe, it's wonderful to see you here today. What we're set about today is trying to put some new energy and ideas, policy ideas, into the U.S.-Indonesia relationship. CSIS has dedicated a large portion of its research capabilities in the Southeast Asia Chair this year to the U.S.-Indonesia relationship and trying to put some muscle and sinews on the very good framework that's been created in the comprehensive partnership, the U.S.-Indonesia comprehensive partnership. So we designed this conference today, the Indonesia Conference at CSIS, to look into that relationship. How do we build mutual trust? How do we set vision for the future for our two countries? What are the ideas that we together can implement to move this relationship forward? So I think we have a tremendous agenda today. We're going to look at leadership opportunities. We're going to look at the foreign policy and security relationship. And we're going to importantly look at the trade and economic relationship and the opportunities therein. I'd like to thank some of the people that have made this program possible. And that includes incredible support from the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia, who's been a partner from the beginning. Great support from the U.S.-Asian Business Council. Alex Feldman, thank you, Alex. And the U.S.-Indonesian Society. Ambassador David Merrill and his team have been very supportive. We want to thank them. Special thanks to Hashim Jojo Harikusomo and the Arsari Foundation for funding the Sumitra Chair. And then a very special mention to the Putra Sampurna Foundation, which is a sponsor of today's event. For those of you who are tuning in via new media, this entire discussion will be streamed live on the CSIS website. You can follow it on Twitter. If anyone here is not following Dino Dijal on Twitter, I recommend that you get on board. He's one of the big whales in the Twitterverse. But for Twitter information, you can follow at Southeast Asia, DC, at CSIS. And the hashtag for today is CSIS Live. Without further ado, I'd like to invite my colleague and friend, Dino Dijal, to make some opening remarks. Dino, please. Thank you very much, Ernie. And I would like to recognize my good friend and boss, Foreign Minister Martin Atalagawa, who has arrived this morning and who will deliver a keynote address. Also, Joe Yun, Ambassador Merpuri. I have Alex Feldman, David Merrill, Ambassador Tanswe of Myanmar. He's here somewhere. Ambassador Winston and all the other friends. Thank you for coming here today. And I want to thank CSIS for organizing this event. Murray, obviously Ernie, and everybody has been very helpful. CSIS, Foreign Minister, is one of the best think-tanks in America. That is, of course, according to CSIS. That's true. And also, our parliamentarian, Hayano Isman, who has come all the way, he came last night and he's leaving this afternoon back to Indonesia. So thank you also for being here. I don't remember the last time there was a full-day conference on Indonesia in Washington, D.C. And when Ernie came to me with the idea, I thought it was a very good idea for two reasons. One is that ever since I became ambassador here, everyone is just fixated with China. And they should be, and it's very understandable. But you cannot fully understand Asia unless you also understand all the other players, including Indonesia. A second reason is that I've been managing U.S.-Indonesia relations for quite some time. And there was a time in the past that when Washington pays attention to a particular region or particular country, it's because of a crisis. It's a crisis-driven attention. And I think this partly explains U.S.-Indonesia relations in the past. But this conference is being held, not because there's a crisis in Indonesia, but exactly the opposite, because in Indonesia today is a country whose democracy, economic progress, and foreign policy is relevant to the Indo-Pacific. So indeed, in the last decade, there has been significant changes in Indonesia's foreign policy. We remain committed to independent and active foreign policy. But in recent years, we have evolved new concepts, what is called a million friends and zero enemy, which reflects a new strategic luxury for Indonesia. A time when we look at the world and we see no country that we regard as enemy and no country that regards Indonesia as an enemy. No other previous Indonesian generation had ever this strategic luxury before. Another concept is all direction foreign policy, which means we can be pro-west, we can be pro-east, pro-north, pro-south. All is an open game, so long as it is in line with our national interests. And the concept of dynamic equilibrium. My foreign minister will talk about that. It's an assumption that the region will continue to evolve and Indonesia will need to reposition itself in that evolving power balance. But all these concepts, million friends, zero enemy, dynamic equilibrium, all direction foreign policy, they are all optimistic and opportunity-driven assessment of the new landscape of the region. What kind of landscape it is? Well, it's a very interesting and exciting landscape. It is a landscape where countries are changing, relationships are changing, and the region is changing. It is a landscape where even Asia is discovering Asia. For example, Indonesia has long had relations with India, but even now we are rediscovering India in terms of its economic potentials, its technology, its films, its culture, and so on. Chinese tourists are now flocking to Southeast Asia, to Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, including Indonesia. Asian youth are dancing to the Korean Gangnam. And investors are now renewing their love affair with the Philippines. But all across Asia, Asia too is discovering Asia. There's now an enormous diplomatic and economic space being created throughout the Asia Pacific, the Indo-Pacific. The number of democracies and open societies in the Indo-Pacific is at its highest ever in history, and the number of diplomatic partnerships are also growing phenomenally. Now, in the wake of all this, there are three questions that we must answer. One, how do we identify and seize strategic opportunities? Opportunities are always there, but a lot of times or sometimes we don't always see it. Second, how do we build strategic trust? There's a deficit of strategic trust in some parts of the Indo-Pacific, not just among new friends, but also among old friends. This is something that needs to be earned and refreshed and renewed all the time. And the third question, third challenge, is how do we transform the region of Indo-Pacific into a coherent and cooperative geopolitical and geoeconomic space? Now, as we try to meet these challenges, we will have to account to a number of realities on the ground. What are these realities? One, there's still no such thing as an Indo-Pacific community or identity. Even the term Indo-Pacific is still largely elusive in the public mind throughout the region. Secondly, the sub-regions in the Indo-Pacific have their own dynamics. Northeast Asia have its own dynamics, Southeast Asia have its own dynamics, Southeast Asia have its own dynamics, and these things need time to evolve. They don't go on the same speed. Third reality, some disputes, particularly territorial disputes and jurisdictional disputes will take a long time to settle. Now, this includes, of course, the South China Sea, conflicts, which means our job is more to manage it rather than to settle it at least in the short and medium term. And the fourth reality is that regional architecture in the region, within the region, will need time to evolve, to synergize, and maybe even simplify. They're moving a bit faster than the average speed, but they will take time to evolve. But the fifth and most important reality in the region is that there's an explosion of possibilities and opportunities throughout the region. The possibilities, well, who would ever thought that the United States and Indonesia would ever have a comprehensive partnership, which we do have now. In the 50s, there's a government who fell into the Sukheman Cabinet in Indonesia because it wanted closer relations with the United States. But now, we have a 21st century partnership. Whoever thought that the United States and Vietnam would have a very active economic and military cooperation given their difficult history. Whoever thought that Indonesia and Timor-Leste would have one of the best relationships among neighbors in the region, again, given our very difficult history. Who had predicted the political development that is happening in Myanmar today? Two years ago, when ASEAN ambassadors were gathering around the table, no one really thought that this was possible. Who would have thought that the conflict in Aceh after 30 long years of bloody conflict would end up with a permanent peace? And whoever thought the Arab Spring would happen, right? So again, this is a region of tremendous possibilities and the opportunities are tremendous. The Asian Development Bank has said that in a positive scenario, by 2050, the GDP of Asia alone would be around $160 trillion. And there will be an additional two billion people joining the middle class and there will be, in an optimistic scenario, no poor country in the Asian region. So opportunities are tremendous and Indonesia itself, compared to about a decade ago, now have about a dozen strategic and comprehensive partnerships around the world. And this is why this conference is so important for us, because it allows us to ask questions that are relevant to how we will reorder and redefine the region. Questions such as how does America's pivot will complement or will interact with Indonesia's concept of dynamic equilibrium? Every country in the region have their own foreign policy designs. How do they all fit together? And I hope, as we all try to find answers to these questions, we will be doing what Indonesia's foreign policy has been doing in the recent years. What it is? It is the fact that we pursue our foreign policy with a forward-looking attitude, rather than being stuck or burdened with the baggage of the past. It is by being pragmatic and not being ideological and dogmatic. And third, it is by espousing a new attitude of win-win. I win by making you win and we all win together. It's a non-zero-sum game and I believe if we all employ this mindset, the future of Indo-Pacific and the future of U.S.-Indonesia relations will be bright. Thank you. Thank you very much, Dino. First of all, really warm welcome to the Foreign Minister. It is always great to see him and he's going to see Secretary Kerry, of course, in the afternoon and when the two get together, really the discussions are very useful and also very strategic. So really look forward to seeing him back at State this afternoon. First of all, really many thanks to Ernie. I think it is, for me, unimaginable. A few years ago, we would have had this kind of gathering. So many people, so many key players in U.S. foreign policy and, of course, on the business side. I think it's really a testimony to what Ernie has built in very short times. I want to give him a round of applause. And we are trying to match what Ernie is doing and I think it's a challenge, but this afternoon I'm going to testify at the House Foreign Affairs Committee on our budget request and you will see, I think very concretely, what rebalance to Asia, what our focus in Asia means, because we get more money and that's very important, you know? And in fact, our Bureau of Foreign Assistance, we are going to get, we've requested, 7.5% more money for the next fiscal year and, you know, these days, zero is new increase as far as the budget goes and so for the State Department as a whole, we'll in fact, there will be a decline of 6%. So you can imagine the kind of fight that we have to do inside to get this amount of resources and for us, that means we can do more in terms of assistance, in terms of our operations and I see many people on my side who have throughout so many years been associated with Indonesia and for me, you know, I first went to Indonesia on my second tour and at that time I went to Meda and I see my good colleague Stan Harsha and Hany over there, we worked together in the 1980s in Meda, you know? And of course we have Ted Osius who was until recently our Deputy Chief of Mission in Jakarta, now working with Ernie in CSIS.  Yeah. And for us, really, our relationship with Indonesia in during those decades has transformed materially and I would say the reason of this rebalance, our refocus in Asia has more to do with Indonesia than anyone else and in fact, we have a phrase within State Department, we call it rebalance within rebalance and that refers to Southeast Asia and that's where we have spent tremendous amount of effort over the last few years. I've been now back for four years and that has really taken a lot of our energy and I know in the next panel you will have my former boss, Kurt Campbell and he has been instrumental in what we do and of course along with Hillary Clinton and President Obama. And I would liken, you know, I would compare what Indonesia has done for us in Southeast Asia to that role of a Sherpa, you know? And, you know, I've never climbed Mount Everest but I know what a role of Sherpa involves and working with Indonesia, working with everything we do there requires someone to translate that for us, you know? I mean, when we joined the East Asia Summit, you know, we didn't know what phrase, for example, what phrase like ASEAN centrality meant, you know? What does it mean? You know, ASEAN unity, you know, ASEAN connectivity but these are key phrases which needed explaining to us and which Indonesia has done so well for us, you know? I don't know how many of American audiences here understand that. It will take you a while, you know? So I really want to thank our Indonesian colleagues for that. Of course, before we worked together in multilateral forums, regional issues and global issues, we had to build a structure of bilateral relationship and again, the foreign minister has been key to that. I think you will recall that he has been a foreign minister since 2009, I think fall of 2009. And, you know, if you remember the first visit Hillary Clinton ever made as secretary of the state was to Asia and Indonesia was a key part of that. And it was really during that trip the idea of comprehensive partnership came to pass. That is, the two countries, two leadership must have regular dialogue in order for things to get done and we had a rich agenda. And ever since we've been meeting at secretary's level every year and of course leaders level several times a year either in each other's capitals or on the margins of big meetings like G20, East Asia Summit and so on. So that was key. And so when you have ministers meet regularly reviewing your work, I am, you know, forced to do work for that, you know.  And that was tremendous deal that really brought together and I think we are now beginning to turn around kind of decade-long decline in number of exchanges we have between Indonesia and United States. On security issues, we had some tough challenges, legacies of the past, those two overcome. And I mean, I don't know many of you recall, you know, the issues we've had with KOPASU, security assistance and so much of that has been overcome. And again, you know, I really do want to thank foreign ministers leadership on that. Trade and investment. I know there are a lot of business people here. The other day I met with Doug and other American Chamber of Commerce and of course there's going to be issues. I mean, in a relationship that has billions and so much money at stake, there are always going to be issues. But we built a framework where those issues can be discussed, rationalized and problems overcome. And again, I think that's been a very key component. As I see it, and I think I'm sure the minister and secretary will get into it this afternoon, we really have to now look beyond what we have done, what we can do together in terms of global challenges. And I think that's the next area where Indonesia and United States, in the comprehensive partnership, we have to get into more. I mean, what are these challenges? They are obvious but they need a lot of work. One is on climate change. We have been talking a lot bilaterally together but I think we need to now raise that on what we do together in terms of partnership, in terms of what we're going to do in multilateral issues. Second issue I think will be cyber security. This is a big problem throughout the region and the world. And so we are looking forward to working with the Indonesian side on that. And then there are trouble spots that we've been talking and we again need to step up. These include Middle East peace issues, of course Syria issues, and within Asia-Pacific area, North Korean nuclear issues. And I think again those, we need to form a partnership where Indonesia and US work together. Indonesia has a long history of really dynamic foreign ministers. Some of them come rapidly to mind. Adam Malik for example. And then you have Ali Alatas. So really I would say this foreign minister follows in that tradition. So we're very honored to have him here. So I'd like to now listen to him for a while. Thank you very much. Thank you very much Mr. Joseph Yoon for your kind, not only your kind introduction just now, but also for sharing with us your thoughts on the state of Indonesia-U.S. relations, which are obviously echo and endorse. And especially for really anticipating what I had wanted to suggest to Secretary Kerry to be honest, on how to further elevate the quality of our relationship by discussing as well a number of global issues of common concern. And thus when we speak of comprehensive partnership, it will be one that's not only comprehensive bilaterally, but also comprehensive in the global issues that we come to discuss in a partnership manner. Thank you for that, Mr. Joseph Yoon, for your introduction. And may I also join others, I'm sure, in this room who wish to express their thanks to Pa Erni and Pa Dino Jalal, Ambassador Jalal and the CIS team and the Embassy for making possible this morning's event. As Pa Dino Jalal had said, this is a very precious opportunity for many of us to compare notes and share ideas on matters relating to Indonesia. And I'm very grateful and I'd like to express appreciation, especially to Ambassador Jalal and Pa Erni for making this event possible. Looking around the room, I wish also to acknowledge the presence of many friends and colleagues who have been instrumental in raising Indonesia-US relations. Among others, I see of course Pa Hayano Isman has been acknowledged just now, your participation in this forum really reflects how Indonesia-US relations is not only anchored by government-to-government relations, but also between parliaments, as is any democracy's relations between the parliaments are critical if we are to have a really sustainable and therefore even more comprehensive relationships. Of course, I wish to also acknowledge the presence of Mr. Alex Feldman of the US-ASEAN Business Council and David Merrill of Yusindo and so many others in this room who have been, as I said, instrumental in promoting Indonesia-US relations and, not least, Ambassador's Excellencies accredited here to Washington. Dear friends and colleagues, I have been asked to share some thoughts on the de-Indonesian perspective on the Indo-Pacific. To be honest, I'm a little bit wary to describe what I'm about to say as being de-Indonesian perspective. Perhaps an Indonesian perspective will be more appropriate because I'm taking a little bit of taking liberties here in wanting to take advantage of this more informal setting to test some ideas and to float some ideas outside the formal governmental context. I've been asked to share some thoughts on the Indo-Pacific, a term that as Dino had said earlier has become increasingly used, common, but not as prevalent as many other lexicon of geopolitics, but certainly ever more relevant. In terms of geography, when we speak of the Indo-Pacific region, it obviously refers to an important triangular spanning two oceans, the Pacific and the Indian oceans, bounded by Japan in the north, Australia in the southeast and India in the southwest. And notably, notably here with Indonesia as its center. As a result, in this largest archipelagic state in the world, amidst its archipelagic waters are found some of the most strategic sea lanes in the world, connecting the Indian and Pacific oceans, serving as highways for the movement of global trade, as well as of people and the associated ideas and cultural expressions they bring forth. In the political economic domain, it refers to an area encompassing some of the most dynamic economies in the world, with rising role not only in the evolving global economic architecture, but also in the political arena as well. Today, the Indo-Pacific region is an economic power in its own right, serving as the engine for global economic growth. And not least, the term Indo-Pacific brings into focus the reality of the interconnection between the futures of the Indian and Pacific oceans. Whereas in the past, perhaps one may identify distinct and separate regional cooperative architecture for the Indian and Pacific oceans, the future may see greater emphasis on architectures that actually connects the two areas, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Oceans. As a matter of fact, some existing regional cooperative framework already reflects this connectivity between the Indian and the Pacific Oceans. The ASEAN Regional Forum, for example, obviously bring in countries that are both in the Pacific as well as in the Indian Ocean. And more significantly perhaps the East Asia Summit, which despite its nomenclature at Indonesia's initiatives includes India, Australia and New Zealand as original members. Dear friends, ladies and gentlemen, therefore, given the geography of Indonesia, the future course of the Indo-Pacific region is obviously a source of tremendous interest for Indonesia. And today, and on this occasion, I'd like to highlight one specific challenge that we face when we ponder and consider matters relating to the Indo-Pacific region. Essentially, what I wanted to share some ideas and thoughts on is on how can we maintain the Pacific in the Indo-Pacific. In other words, how may countries in the region work in common to maintain peace and stability that have served them well in the Indo-Pacific region. A key objective, I believe, after all is said and done, given that the many decades of peace and stability in the area have been instrumental, they have been precious in making possible the pursuit of economic development, progress and prosperity by the countries of the Indo-Pacific region. A so-called peace dividend. Yet, notwithstanding the obvious opportunities that are abound in front of the Pacific and Indian oceans, rim countries, at the same time, a number of challenges also await. And let me just highlight three of them and to offer some thoughts in response with some examples simply to illustrate. First and foremost, and I think this is the point that the ambassador had mentioned before, I believe that one of the first challenges that we face is the challenges stemming from a trust deficit in our region. Just to give an example on the Korean Peninsula while the Indo-Pacific region has long, unfortunately, factoring the challenges on the Korean Peninsula, recent developments may suggest a significant leap in the nature of the threat, the sharpening of distrust and its attendant cycle of tensions. And the stakes are actually getting ever higher. A nuclear capable a nuclear capable DPRK, for example, may actually be altering the security equation proliferation pressures not unlike, for example, in the Indian subcontinent may ensue. Absent some kind of renewed efforts to promote dialogue and security, to promote trust and confidence I am concerned that countries in the region may feel compelled to pursue guarantees of its own security at the expense of the other and indeed ultimately to itself. Not wishing to oversimplify I believe that at the heart of the various complex and interrelated challenges of the Korean Peninsula like many a potential conflict situation in our part of the world lie the issue of trust deficit. Worst case assumptions of the other's intentions feeding action and reaction a vicious cycle of increasing tensions and of deepening distrust. A situation where the perceived advantage of preemptive action lead to hit or do minor incident to escalate to a major crisis and even to open conflict. But I must say the most recent development has been especially encouraging in the sense that ultimately all the parties concerned certainly of the past of the United States and the Republic of Korea have been able to project and signal in the most indirect form perhaps of the need to begin to draw down and bring the situation under better management. Essentially I believe that this means we must have the means to disrupt or interrupt the often apparently relentless rush towards conflict to end the sense of inevitability of conflict. Sometimes as a third country, third party outside those who are directly involved you can see almost this sense of inevitability rush towards conflict. In this sort of occasions we must have the courage to intervene, to disrupt this apparent trend. Trust and confidence must be built and nurtured. The exercise of restraint must be rewarded and even especially reciprocated. Mutual restraint. Hence, communications need to be established formal and informal, governmental and non-governmental. The establishment of lines of communications especially especially in times of crisis in my view are not signs of weakness or acquiescence rather they are a means to decipher intent they are a means to convey intent without prejudicing or sacrificing principled positions. A Pacific Indo-Pacific therefore requires in my view modalities to build mutual trust modalities to build confidence to substitute the all too familiar vicious cycle of tensions with virtual cycle of trust and confidence building. It requires a willingness to take risks to be out there to have certain ideas offered and not properly reciprocated immediately but I believe given what's at stake sometimes often times it is important for countries to take those calculated risks the second challenge I'd like to identify and this is a point that Ambassador Dino as well has mentioned the challenge of unresolved territorial claims ours like many other regions is not exempt from such unresolved territorial claims maritime from the east China sea to the south China sea land borders affecting major countries in the Indo-Pacific region sharing long common land boundaries by their very nature such unresolved territorial claims often defy prompt resolution decades long and painstaking negotiations are not uncommon further burdening already complex legal and technical issues are past history often case not contributing to conditions conducive to the peaceful and negotiated resolution of unresolved territorial claims however I do believe that unresolved territorial claims disputes even do not have to equate conflict we can manage them and we can even hopefully one day resolve them as well in this connection I believe that where the realities of territorial disputes are obviously evident this must be acknowledged by the parties concern that we cannot afford an outlook of denial of a revisionist outlook where disputes have previously been acknowledged and subsequently an attempt to create new realities on the ground or at sea suggesting none exist such an acknowledgement of territorial disputes can be done without prejudicing or compromising the principal position of each of the parties but by doing so then the claimant parties can do away with the constant testing constant prodding of the others resolve and intentions of dangerous and destabilizing showing the flag measures that may invite response from the other side escalating minor tensions to full blown crisis and risking miscalculation of intent a pacific indopacific therefore in my view requires a commitment from parties to a territorial dispute to respect certain code of behavior or code of conduct in the affected area in the South China sea context this has meant the drawing up of conduct between ASEAN and China elsewhere it may involve less formal arrangements or understandings however the essence remains avoid miscalculations or unintended crisis ultimately however where territorial dispute is prevalent a pacific indopacific must commit to peaceful settlement of disputes in accordance with the principles law and the charter of the other nations the third and final point that I challenge that I wish to identify is one of the management of the impact of change trust deficit and resolve territorial disputes the third point managing the impact of change and certainly our region the indopacific region has been marked by tremendous change and even I would say a transformation change and transformation within countries political as well as economic that have had ramifications far beyond their borders as a matter of fact the indopacific has been witness to some of the most dramatic to some of the most fundamental process of change as in recent decades countries like the Republic of Korea initially the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and today even Myanmar we are seeing tremendous internal changes with tremendous regional implications Southeast Asia collectively through the ASEAN political security community is also changing politically in terms of regional development security community building as well these are developments that are obviously national, domestic and yet since ASEAN, since our region have gotten it right so far it has not had any geopolitical implications and one need only to look at the situation in North Africa, in the Middle East to be reminded what was originally internal, national, political deficit, democratic deficit issues quickly became an interstate regional proxy global even type of tensions and conflict equally impactful has been the economic transformation of the Indo-Pacific region turning the economies of the region into drivers of the global economic growth as change occur in our region a new type of challenge has therefore reason essentially whether the region will witness relationship among countries that are marked by competition conflict even or by partnership the region certainly has fair share of important bilateral with potentially profound implications for the region's peace and stability and even I would say global stability as well some of these bilateral are quite obviously very obvious and very self-evident but I wanted to mention and to remind in any case you can dissect it in many ways you wish to adopt a US-centric approach then you have the important US-China bilateral US-Russia bilateral US-India bilateral but beyond this larger global so to speak and yet regional bilateral we have the more purely regional bilateral that have also important ramifications China and Japan increasingly now coming to the fore what is important and what is important and what is important now coming to the fore what kind of implications partnership or competition China Japan and Republic of Korea China and Republic of Korea and many other potential access or potential bilateral whose nature whether competitive or partnership will have a huge implication on our region in my view in my view a peaceful in the Pacific region requires a new paradigm a new perspective in seeing the evolving dynamics between this major countries relations in a way not wanting to extrapolate too much in a way not unlike that which has evolved in Southeast Asia through ASEAN many of us would recall that Southeast Asia prior to ASEAN was a region marked by interstate ASEAN Southeast Asia rivalry a region torn apart by east-west divide and now we are seeing through winstaking comfort level ASEAN way step by step approach a region that is now engaged in a community building including in the political and security domain I wonder without wanting to be too ambitious with a similar kind of a sense of Indo-Pacific or even limited basis Asia-Pacific community can be engendered and for this to happen as Sepa Dino had mentioned I believe we need to have a fresh perspective in how we look at our part of the world we have used or coined the term dynamic equilibrium to describe what we had in mind the word dynamic recognizes that change is a constant in our region let's just put away the pretence as if there will come a time when we have the perfect constellation of situation that we must try to lock in that will not be sustainable because change is inherent change is natural it cannot be resisted we must simply factor that in our view when we look at our part of the world we must be in full recognition that things are always changing, evolving but at the same time we need an equilibrium equilibrium reminds that this state of change does not imply an anarchical state of affairs either due to the unchecked preponderance of a single state we have no particular love to see our region dominated by one country of whatever color or orientation either due to unchecked preponderance of a single state or due to the disorder or uncertainty associated with a multi-polar region instead peace and stability in the region ought to be brought about through the promotion of an outlook of common security, common prosperity and common stability a recognition that security is a common good it cannot be obtained at the expense of the other not if it's meant to be sustainable we need to promote the notion that a win-win common security is not a mistake in the region's stability and the region's prosperity as well a dynamic equilibrium therefore is marked by an absence of a preponderant power certainly but not not through the rigidity rivalry and tensions common to the pursuit of a balance of power instead through the promotion of a sense of common responsibility to maintain the region's peace and stability to reflect such an approach I am of the view and this is where I said this is an Indonesian perspective I don't know where the N will become D to reflect such an approach I am of the view that we should be ready to work towards an Indo-Pacific-wide security of friendship and cooperation a commitment by states in the region to build confidence to address the question of trust deficit to solve disputes by peaceful means to address the issue of unresolved territorial disputes and to promote a concept of security that is all encompassing underscoring that security is a common good a treaty not unlike the treaty of enmity and cooperation in Southeast Asia which as I said before has been so instrumental in the region's evolution from one mark by conflict to one which is on the eve of a community a treaty which provides fresh and strengthen the commitment already expressed by the East Asia Summit participants called Bali principles on the principles for mutually beneficial relations agreed at the East Asia Summit in 2011 three challenges I have mentioned trust deficit unresolved conflicts and the issue of managing change and I have tried to offer some thoughts on illustrate with some examples and some thoughts on how we may wish to respond to put in a nutshell I have a view I have a vision where one day our region the Indo-Pacific region can be brought together not perhaps immediately but through a process of step by step community like spirit an Indo-Pacific community Asia Pacific community cannot be legislated overnight it is not an event it must be built it must be nurtured it must be constantly promoted as we proceed and in this type of endeavor I am so truly delighted and happy to see anchoring all these efforts the ever strengthening partnership between United States and Indonesia comprehensive partnership implies and suggests that the two countries engage in a broad spectrum of cooperation partnership suggests it is a relationship of mutual interest mutual benefit to the two countries obviously but just now as suggested it is perhaps now time to extrapolate and to project that same spirit of partnership in dealing with many issues thank you so much for your attention and thank you for your patience


Hi, and welcome to the session. Today, we will discuss the following question. The question says, explain why a rectangle is a convex quadrature. Let's see its solution. Let's see a figure of a rectangle. Alright, here we have a rectangle a, b, c, d. Now, here a, c and b, d are the diagonals of this rectangle. Now, let's recall the definition of a convex polygon. Now, polygons that are convex have no portions of their diagonals in their exterior. Here, a, c, b, d are the diagonals of the rectangle a, b, c, d. As we can see that a, c and b, d both lie in the interior of the rectangle. So, what can we say? The rectangle a, b, c, d satisfies the property of convex polygons. Hence, a rectangle is a convex quadrature because both of its diagonals lie in its interior. This is our final answer for this question and with this, we finish the session. Hope you must have understood the question. Goodbye, take care and have a nice day.
