THE UN DOES NOT FAIRLY SHOW ITS MOVING PARTS WHEN IT COMES TO EDUTECH

unctad in geneva now runs ali baba enrepreneur training college without any way of tracking this

while amma doesnt appear as a hub - the time i went to a unai summit it was all amma- as well as being a deeply spiritual movement in india the un has ordered that any researcher who wants to link the un name with nanotechnolgy must do it with amma!

my understanding is that our friend prita's family own an emerging retreat/small conference center in kerala and have been long term friends of the movement

i believe its really important to connect china india bangladesh most trusted networks especially girl empowerment these next few months; i note that modi and jinping have a two day get together at end of this week- if they invite youth tech or other actions please can india watchers tell us

june is biggest month so far in meetings 9mumbai aiib 2018, qingdao sco 2018) reviewing how seriously india and china see need for totally different investmentys in development -after all one third of people live in these two countries and its really not obvious that g7 bankers and western aid has been cogherenet in education or any of the rapidly leapfroging tech areas

and we need to get to un delegations of these coutreis too if the un summit on learning at general assembly is to be of value

in washington dc usa has tried to order india to join a club with japan and australia - this direction is totally absudrd compared with trying to positively link the whole eursaian coastline with gulf suez and emd sea - the route that british empre's colonisation traped in poverty but which we could all now be freeing

any suggestions via amma, via some other movements that linkin india? bangladesh? pakistan?

Subject: Amma's US Summer Tour--Meet the Amrita International Team

Dear Mr. Christopher Macrae, Employer Unknown Our Chancellor and Founder, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, whom we fondly refer to as Amma (Mother), will, again, be visiting the US this summer. This will provide a unique opportunity for you, your family, and colleagues to meet Amma, to receive her darshan, and to meet the International Team to discuss potential scientific collaborations, student and faculty exchanges, etc. Here are the dates and cities where we will be.  Please let me know if you wish to come: Seattle Washington Area Hilton Bellevue Hotel 300 112th Avenue SE Bellevue WA 98004 Saturday June 2 & Sunday June 3  San Francisco Bay Area, CA Castro Valley, CA M.A. Center 10200 Crow Canyon Rd. Castro Valley, CA 94552  Tuesday, June 5 to Sunday, June 10    Los Angeles LA Airport Hilton 5711 West Century Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90045 Tuesday, June 12-Saturday, June 14 Santa Fe Buffalo Thunder Resort 20 Buffalo Thunder Trail Santa Fe, NM 87506  Saturday, June 16- Tuesday, June 19      Dallas Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center  3100 Town Center Trail  Denton, TX 76201   Thursday, June 21 - Friday, June 22       Chicago M.A. Center Chicago 41W501 Keslinger Rd Elburn, IL 60119  Sunday, June 24 - Tuesday, June 26  New England Boston Area Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center 181 Boston Post Rd W,  Marlborough, MA 01752-1840 Thursday, June 28 - Friday, June 29 Washington DC Marriott Gateway Crystal City 1700 Jefferson Davis Highway Arlington, VA 22202 Sunday, July 1 - Monday, July 2  New York Wednesday, July 4 - Friday, July 6  Toronto Delta Hotel by Marriott Toronto Airport and Conference Centre 655 Dixon Road Toronto, ON M9W 1J3 Sunday, July 8 - Wednesday, July 11 As an update: Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham ranked in the Top 500 in THE’s World University Rankings 2018 for Clinical, Pre-Clinical, and Health, and also for International Outlook and Industry income.  In THE’s Asian University Rankings 2018, Amrita is ranked as the #1 Private university in India.  In a major breakthrough, scientists at Kochi's Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences have found a safer way to kill cancer cells by using a biodegradable material found naturally in bones. Calcium phosphate can be used as a fully biodegradable radio frequency agent, a finding that is a big leap forward in the safe treatment of cancer using heat generated by radio waves. Amrita Hospital was the first in the country to perform surgery using 3D printed patient-specific models ahead of surgery so as take a closer look at a specific anatomy of a particular patient.  Using a CT or MRI scan of a patient, 3D printing technology gives the doctors an exact replica of the patient’s heart in their hand, which can be observed and understood before the patient’s chest is actually cut open for the surgery. It was used only in complex cardiac surgeries initially for a more precise result, but is now being used in orthopaedic, neuro and maxillofacial surgeries. The result is improved surgical outcomes as a better prepared surgeon reduces the time patients have to remain under anaesthesia, less time the incision is kept open, and minimizes blood loss as well as post-operative recovery time.  Live-in Labs® Program Amrita University is in the process of establishing Live-in-Labs® at 100+ locations, mostly in rural areas spread across the length and breadth of India. These live-in-labs have varied focus areas such as energy, water, healthcare, education, waste management, ICT for billion, skill building etc.  We propose a partnership with your university, where your students both undergraduates and graduates who would like to get an experiential learning opportunity, they can come and spend for 2 weeks to a semester in one of the live in labs based on the area. They will become part of the interdisciplinary team of students and faculty and each team will be guided by a group of 2-3 faculty members, also drawn from across the disciplines from all participating universities. The program allows international students to study, observe, and interact with rural populations while living in rural communities (village labs) to gain a better understanding of challenges  in the areas of Health & Livelihood, Education & Technology, Environment & Farming, Energy, and Infrastructure & Basic Facilities.  The students share village life and observe and understand problems encompassing health and hygiene, energy, water, waste, environment, etc., touching the villagers’ lives, and define projects that seek to address these problems, devise solutions, implement, test and eventually demonstrate innovative solutions. One definitive achievement is that they receive a deeper understanding of challenges faced by emerging developing countries.  We are very eager to initiate the Live-in-Labs® programs with your university. Past participants have come from the U.S., Canada, Switzerland, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Japan, Australia, Ireland, and Brazil.  For more information about the Live-in-Labs® program, please visit: https://www.amrita.edu/international/live-in-labs Live-in-Labs® Completed Projects: https://www.amrita.edu/international/live-in-labs/projects Live-in-Labs® Field Stories : https://www.amrita.edu/international/live-in-labs/field-stories Promo Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qaan85ov4U Around 100,000 villages in Kerala, spread across 14 districts, have begun to receive clean drinking water as part of the Jivamritam Project launched by Amrita Vishwa Peethan six months ago. As many as 127 water filtration units have been installed as part of the project, which was inaugurated by President Ram Nath Kovind in October last year. Our virtual labs project has been selected as the winner for the 2018 GOLC International Online Laboratory Award (Visualized Experiments category).   The award was presented by the International Association for Online Engineering and Global Online Laboratories Consortium in Germany. Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading global information technology, consulting and business process services company, and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham have jointly won the Aegis Graham Bell Award 2017 in the ‘Innovation in mHealth’ category. They were recognized for their joint initiative in diabetic health care which will offer millions of diabetic patients an easy-to-use mobile app. This initiative also exemplifies industry-academia collaboration for research and innovation in healthcare. The University of Glasgow worked with collaborators from Ammachi Labs at Amrita to take a water hauling robot to a village in rural India.  Water transport is a real problem in rural India. Over half of the population doesn’t have tap water at home, so people (usually women) have to go get water from a central location and haul it back. They spend roughly 5 hours every day doing this, carrying jugs of water on their heads.

2018 Year of Sino-India Girls Empower human sustainability -  how leaders/educators can truly help 125 years ago a man was thrown off a South African Train for having the wrong colored skin. The freedom of supertrains has been a long time coming for Gandhi, Mandela, and every little sister next door. Will it arrive by Sept 2018 ? BRICS@ S Africa; WISE@UNGA NY, only empowering girls can lift up half the sky education www! China and India represent one third of the world’s people. President Xi’s reputation for bringing peace and sustainability more than any other leader has its most exciting demonstration to date in supporting Pakistan reopen a 21st C silk road via China, Pakistan, Emirates (not yet United), to Djibouti and next to  nations connected by Suez canal including all nations sharing the Med sea. BeltRoadImagination (BRI.school) maps how chances for human hope may rise faster than forces of destruction in regions most troubled by war and refugee crises. But so far the cost of test marketing BRI has been India feels at best left out by China and at worst youth will be blocked in India from growing up with Chinese youth as Sustainability Generation’s greatest friendship ERworld.tv 50 years of studying how 1000 times more communications technology (2016 versus 1946) has been globally designed shows time is exponentially running out, Sustainability of the human race wont happen without mass thriving through community to community sharing of solutions as well as big data small analysis replacing current banking systems and risks externalised by big data big analysts. These are the most exciting times to be alive – alignment with mother nature is now a bottom up global village imperative reconcilable only by pro-youth education ,open technologists, and goodwill celebrations wherever world leaders meetup. Unprecedented time for progress waves through 2018 summits between june and october. 2019 is an election year in India- action learning opportunities for PM Modi and President Xi to unstoppably startup with the half of world aged under 30 in 2018 won’t come again tested for resiliency as we may increasingly be by Trump’s randomized trials  across the East. Here comes the oriental good news. Starting Mumbai in June, India hosts conversations with 100 national delegations of bankers on new investments in sustainability that historically the developing world has found rich banking world wont help with. REALISM TO CROSSCHECKED WESTERN AID LOST TO POST TRUTH MEDIA The devil is in the details that macroeconomist models have not been grounded enough to see.  Xi has promised to end poverty in China by 2020. Wonderful as this will be , China separated from India doesn’t have deep knowhow of how different extreme end poverty challenges are. This is where Bangladesh and the world’s largest ngo education system and number 1 girls economics network BRAC comes in provided UN eminents and others live up to Guterres dreams of WISE@UNGA September 2018 New York. Dismal academic news: no evidence yet that any New York (or East coast) University is readying its class of 2017-18 to help the UN (eg with summer internships). Every national delegation to the UN could be moving this now wherever girls sustainability matters. Every UN eminent adviser with academic clout needs to wield it collaboratively now. So do UN Academic Impact partnership hubs such as refugee learning’s educationaboveall and Nanotechnology researchers branded arounded AMMA’s centre of spiritual gravity out of Kerala, let alone where the UN flies in Jack Ma to be its trusted Youth Entrepreneur linksman.  Nowhere does this changing professional intelligence for girls lift up half the sky more than in English speaking worlds of foreign assistance after the dreadful sexual exposures of Oxfam. The cultural mix of Franciscan and Confucian values united needs to open space much more spiritual joy (Loveq in Jack Ma terminology) than oxbridge old boy networks can begin to muster.

timing matters - the great new celebration od iwse education laurfeates 2017-2018 is new universities; the president and new university founder in ghana have been entristed with celebarting this in accra at the un and in paris while the african origin of rfeee university in south africa waits to understand the country's next eladership- historically china transformeed round new university of serbabt leaders in late 1980s; bangaldesh's girls end poverty newtorks celebrated their first quarter of a century by adding university to brac's menu of solutions

girls history number 1 lesson

Mrs Nurjahan Begum is the founding female director of bangladesh microcredit systems - she was an economics student in Chittagong in 1974 when Dr Yunus decided economics he was teaching needed reinvention in bangladesh to stop millions dying of famine; between 1976 to 1983 she led the fieldwork that became grameen- poorest village women being banned from speaking from men.



When we met her in 2007 she was a very kindly lady but with a very fierce motto- mess with my girls and i will send you to prison or worse) - so why would a global brand like oxfam not live that value?

These are exciting times- the english language is at a crossroads as it becomes 10 times more affordable to learn as a secoind language (coders peer to peer circles), Through the network of  30000 microfranchsies: It could be used to collaboratively web much better development solutions than western countries have ever done before. In fact we can argue very strongly that any british development professional or teacher who messes with mrs begums girls or any poorest grls is a traitor to quuen elizabeth and queen victoria - such board rooms leaders to be sent to the tower and do not pass go

The good news is that in addition to grameen the world's greatest education system brac lives the same values and was ten years ahead of grameen in designing ultra poor solutions to girls safety, village disaster resilience, ending famine, designing health, education and financial system s- it raced to do this from 1972 to 1996 while not far north the thord richest finacial group chinese diapora was investing in over a billion underemployed chinese - this was caused by over a century of china closing istelf to trade because it didbnt want opium which britian tried to make a currency

The world's education laureates summit led by brac have been asked to cpnvene the mother of all learing summits by Guterres at the Unite Nations General Assembly in 2018 (NY september) and to celebrate this across every belt road map hunders of national leaders arfe remaking with China's XI Jinping  - Belt Road Imagine - BRI.school BRI.mba BRI.systems

so today those of us brits who would like to see the english language used for other things than prostitution and opium trading should celev=barte every way we can thank china and bangaldesh

can the royal family please convene a summit on this? yesterday would be a bit late!!
