\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOn \u201cAmerica and the World 2024<\/b>\u201d - The United States will face two challenges this year: Presidential elections and the debate over US foreign policy. The elections suggest an unappealing choice, with some 70% of Americans holding a negative view of both major party candidates. Foreign policy represents a longer-term question: what is the proper international role for the US in the post-cold war world? These two challenges are related as the debate over US leadership and potential over-commitment is a central issue in the presidential campaign. Ambassador Lavin will provide an overview of the presidential race and discuss the various approaches to foreign policy we are likely to see after the election.\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

But the problems go beyond those two wars. Just consider the demise of the liberal international order, not to mention what is happening to liberalism inside the United States and other Western countries. This talk will attempt to identify the root causes of the disastrous situation facing the West today.\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The China-India relationship is perhaps the most significant in the coming Asian 21st century. It is a relationship between countries which are home to the two largest populations in the world. By the end of this decade, China and India will be the world's 2nd and 3rd largest economies. Sometime in the next decade, China is likely to surpass the United States to become the world's largest economy. China and India also have the world's largest and second largest militaries, respectively. Unfortunately, tensions have been rising between the two Asian giants. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Can China and India live in harmony? This question is particularly important for Southeast Asia, a region that has been influenced by the Sinic and Indic civilisations for millennia. This session will offer some insight on the possible state of play in the bilateral relationship, as well as some suggestions on how the relationship can be better managed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our health is often managed by snapshots of information from standard blood tests, sometimes taken only once per year, or even less frequently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In reality, how our biology responds to fitness, food, and other interventions, is dynamic. Our interventions should also be dynamic, and monitored over time \u2013 as stories. In essence, we should be treated as Stories Over Snapshots. Each of our stories is unique and paves the way for true N-of-1 health.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This empowers our ability to address numerous challenges in preventive health, from obesity to heart health, and healthy ageing to longevity medicine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
