The European languages are members of the same family. Their separate existence is a myth. For science, music, sport, etc, Europe uses the same vocabulary. The languages only differ in their grammar, their pronunciation and their most common words. Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators. To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common words. If several languages coalesce, the grammar of the resulting language is more simple and regular than that of the individual languages. The new common language will be more simple and regular than the existing European languages. It will be as simple as Occidental; in fact, it will be Occidental. To an English person, it will seem like simplified English, as a skeptical Cambridge friend of mine told me what Occidental is.The European languages are members of the same family.

In the next 15 years, we anticipate that push notifications will continue to expand across new platforms and devices, including gaming systems. The trend of empowering users with greater control over their push experiences is set to continue, which means brands must proactively seek user consent and preferences regarding content and timing. As demonstrated by Live Activities, push messaging is increasingly shifting towards “moments-based'” communication, delivering relevant messages right when users need them. To stay ahead, brands should explore innovative ways to ensure their messaging aligns seamlessly with each user's unique context.

<p>Individuals, companies, governments and militaries alike all depend on computers. And as is so often the case, these dependencies create vulnerabilities that have made cybersecurity all the more important as proficiencies in cyber warfare and cyber crime improve. That technology constantly improves only adds to the problem of staying safe in the internet age. How governments and their constituents attune themselves to this brave new world will ultimately shape their relationship with the internet &mdash; and with each other.</p>

In the coming years, China will diversify and expand trade and investment in Latin America and the Caribbean amid U.S. protectionism, but Beijing's influence will likely remain limited due to its declining financial capacity and the region's enduring ties with the West.

Much has been made of U.S. President Donald Trump's recent tour of the Middle East, where he slammed the interventionist policies of his predecessors. "In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built. And the interventionalists [sic] were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand," he said in Riyadh, about the widely panned Iraq invasion of 2003.

Cyber & Information Threats

The next big shakeup in the world of mobile and tablet push notifications arrives in 2022, with the debut of Apple’s Live Activities. These are real-time persistent messages that appear right on iPhone and iPad lock screens without users having to unlock their devices, giving brands a new highly visible way to share up-to-the-minute information.

Instead of having to send multiple push notifications about a given event or transaction, marketers can now keep users updated dynamically, such as:

During a countdown to the premiere of a new episode of a user’s favorite show
In the lead-up to the departure of a traveler’s upcoming flight or hotel stay
When a package ships, is in transit, and is delivered
