Q: Calling an object function before declaring it Hi I want to call an objects function in other function but i can't. Why ?
class class1
{
private:
    int var;
public:
    class1(int x);
    void functionO();
};

class1::class1(int x)
{
    var = x;
}

void class1::functionO()
{
    cout<<"text";
}

void Callfunction()
{
    object1->function0();
}

int main()
{
    class1 *object1;

    object1 = new class1(x);

    Callfunction();
}

Compilator says that

'object1' : undeclared identifier

It seems logical but how can i call that objects function within a function ?

A: In this code:
void Callfunction()
{
    object1->function0();
}

object1 is out-of-scope.  That is, the compiler doesn't know about anything named object1 from within the scope of CallFunction().
Note that even if you had defined CallFunction after main(), this would still be true.  All variables are local to the scope in which they are declared.
One option is to make object1 a global, and I'm sure that you will be advised to do this.  But please don't.  Global variables introduce state to your program, and along with it a host of other nasty problems that are hard to fix without tearing your program apart.  Don't get in to the habit of using global variables to fix all manner of scoping issues.  You will regret it.
Rather, why not just pass a class1 pointer to CallFunction()?  Better yet, pass a reference.
void CallFunction(class1& obj1)
{
  obj1.function0();
}

int main()
{
    class1 *object1;

    object1 = new class1(x);

    Callfunction(*object1);
}

A: Pass your object as (reference) parameter to your function:
class class1
{
private:
    int var;
public:
    class1(int x);
    void function0();
};

class1::class1(int x)
: var(x) // Note: Use member initializer lists
{}

void class1::function0()
{
    std::cout << "text, var = " << var << std::endl;
}

void Callfunction(class1& object)
{
    object.function0();
}

int main()
{
    class1 object1(10);
    class1 object2(42);

    Callfunction(object1);
    Callfunction(object2);
}

Expected output:
text, var = 10
text, var = 42

NOTE
The declaration order also matters, you might need to use a forward declaration when class1 is declared after the compiler sees Callfunction().

A: Your problem has nothing to do with the declaration order (before or after doesn't matter). Your object1 is a local variable of main. This means that it isn't visible outside of main, unless you explicitely pass it to the function needing it or store a pointer to it in a global variable (but please don't). To solve your problem you should therefore pass your object to Callfunction:
void Callfunction(class1& object1)
{
    object1.function0();
}

int main()
{
    class1 object1(x);//<-- This asumes that you have actually defined x
                      //somewhere, otherwise replace it with an actual value
    Callfunction(object1);
}

Note that I took the liberty of clearing up the unneeded indirection (and the memory leak) by constructing the object on the stack instead of on the heap.

The following is the substantive section of my response to the Government's legal aid consultation. The deadline for submission of responses is 4th June.
I acknowledge the Government's overall aim of making significant further savings in the legal aid budget. Whilst there is a substantial possibility that the proposals will increase, rather than decrease, overall costs to the Ministry of Justice and/or sibling departments; the more important and substantial issue is the significant detriment to very vulnerable clients. Cuts of the magnitude proposed will lead to a significant diminution in the quality advice and assistance clients will receive in cases of the utmost significance. Criminal law cases most often deal with significant risk to a person's liberty; and the public law cases targeted by the reforms will often deal with substantial matters of liberty, harm and acute vulnerability. Practitioners in legal aid who do not exit the market altogether faced with unit cost cuts will be forced to accept lower levels of overall income and, in particular, as they attempt to limit the decrease in income they will seek to increase case volumes and decrease the time spent on those cases. Whilst it is conventional to hope for efficiency gains in such circumstance, given the labour intensive nature of legal services work, the overall impact is almost certain to be a significant diminution in quality.
On top of any impact from reduction in unit costs, PCT also raises matters of significant concern. Research in the health sphere is clear in establishing that price only competition damages quality. It is vital that the Government reconsiders how competition on quality can be built into any system of competitive tendering. It is also vital to consider broader monitoring and development of quality. Consideration should be given to developing system wide outcome measures (as has been employed in Chile); case load limits; and, recognition and incentivisation of experienced staff in pricing.
I acknowledge the difficult fiscal and political position within which the Ministry operates but I am afraid the speed with which PCT is proposed to be implemented can only be described as reckless and short-sighted. It has long been the wish of administrations to introduce a form of competitive tendering. That wish has been frustrated by the severe practical difficulties in implementing any scheme. Those practical difficulties are exacerbated both by an undeliverable timetable and the extremely troubling proposal to force contractees towards one size.
I hope the MoJ consider very carefully the lessons from the development of CLACs and CLANs where there was a similar (but less severe) attempt to push providers into single new providers and consortia. There is a very high risk of failure, waste and mismanagement in such a system. The Public Defender Service also provided a lesson in how administrative dictation of size of provider can lead to inefficiency.
I wish you to note my concern at the misuse of the Public Defender research by Bridges et al which I co-authored. The quote has been taken out of context and is misleading.
The Scottish Public Defender pilot attempted to direct clients by birth date. This failed for a variety of reasons, including the practical importance and operation of the exceptions. Any system must have exceptions and there is a risk to the stated aim of the proposals that such exceptions will simply build in too much instability for direction to work as a tool for managing contract sizes.
A secondary impact of direction was significant reductions in client satisfaction with the service. Having been forced to go to a 'state' provider, the legitimacy of the service declined significantly. This may have a range of knock on effects, not least a reduction in the willingness of clients to accept advice on plea, venue, conduct during interviews and the like. This impacts on quality and cost to the court and police budgets.
Client choice also provides important long stop protection of quality. It is true that clients are not sophisticated consumers of advice. Nevertheless they can assess service quality and the extent to which the lawyer remembers relevant facts about their case. Client views are also related to the impact of outcomes on their judgments about lawyers. Thus client satisfaction, and client choice, are proxies for quality which it is important to maintain within the system if at all possible.
There is a growing concern with litigants in person in the criminal justice system. The removal of choice and changes to financial qualification requirements are likely to exacerbate this. As far as I am aware, there has been little consideration of the issues posed by this in cost or practical terms, a position which contrasts unfavourably with family work in particular. In research and policy terms it is a black hole into which some light ought to be shined.
There are a number of potentially serious results which could flow from proposals on public law cases. Rather than assume a Government that takes seriously legal obligations and the rights of unpopular individuals in positions of significant vulnerability, let me concentrate on some more pragmatic implications.
By taking matters out of scope, it may generate large numbers of exceptional funding applications. When turned down some of these will be subject to judicial review. Judicial receptiveness to such claims, which I would anticipate would be high, may produce a cascade of further reviews and funding decisions.
Linking payments to results on leave applications is an interesting idea, and I understand the desire to encourage greater sharing of risk to the fund. This is a de facto remuneration cut which has a number of potential (and rather unpredictable) consequences. The remuneration cut may force some firms, particularly better firms able to diversify, to give up the work. There is not the evidence on which to judge this objectively, but given the proportion of pre-leave settlements, there is the potential for such a change to decimate such work. A second response is that firms will rush to get leave and ensure payment. This would increase unit costs to the fund and increase costs of those responding to judicial reviews. A third response is that the judiciary, mindful of the need for judicial review, will increasingly be asked to, and award, inter partes costs orders. This too may increase costs to other government departments.
There is a further concern that specialists in prison law cannot practice without criminal defence contracts. The forced merger/consortia approach of the PCT proposals risks spreading its harm further. One potential upside to such firms, but a downside for the Ministry, is that merged firms will become better at identifying potential prisoner cases because they are working more closely with criminal defence practitioners. If this were true (and there is evidence of such effects from the Trouble Shared research I conducted for the Ministry of Justice) then there would be upward pressure on case numbers and costs to offset reductions from stricter merits tests.
The Government Legal Service does a difficult job. There is pressure from Ministers to deliver proposals which bear sometimes substantial risks of illegality. Judicial review acts as a not insignificant check on arbitrary abuse of power; careless implementation of reform; and poor judgment on legal risk. Good government has both political and economic benefits and these proposals weaken it.
A second way of thinking about this issue is to consider how lawyers may respond to cases if illegality is no longer funded, or rendered uneconomic. Often it may be nothing can be done in legal terms and the Ombudsman may see a significantly increased workload (as may politicians) from self-representers and organised campaigns. Lawyers will, on occasion, find other litigation mechanisms through which to bring client grievances. Given the nature of funding more generally, such litigation would be likely involve compensation claims and inter partes court costs.
These risks should be borne in mind when considering the modest predicted costs savings associated with reducing the legal aid budgets in these areas.
A final point is that partly because of the changes predicted by this document, and partly because of broader changes in the legal services market (especially direct access to barristers), there will be an increase in private work being conducted by practitioners. The potential for regulatory problems (such practitioners overcharging vulnerable clients) is significant.
‹ PreviousDoes legal education impact on how small businesses see the world?
Next ›What does thinking like a professional mean?
Hear hear…… but I am afraid all responses of this nature are going to be ignored as this government like many others does not want to listen to such voices.

The bird on Twitter's home page, familiar to millions, is small, cute and fun, and implies communication and anticipation. One might say it's the perfect graphic for Twitter. Yet the company paid its designer at most $6, without attribution.
Some designers claim crowdsourcing is evil because it devalues their work by driving down prices, allowing amateurs into the game and forcing people to work "on spec," meaning that they don't get paid unless their design is chosen. Others see it as a natural evolution driven by supply, demand and technology.
Simon Oxley, the Japan-based Brit who licensed the bird graphic to Twitter for the price of a sandwich, through iStockphoto, sits somewhere in the middle.
am not sure [whether crowdsourcing hurts designers]," he said via e-mail. "I believe a designer can only be 'hurt' when they stand in line — instead of constantly seeking new inspiration and producing new things with their ever-increasing experiences."
Fair enough. But since Twitter, which now ranks above Digg as the 84th most popular website in the world according to Hitwise, doesn't sell any merchandise depicting the bird or use it as their official logo (it's considered a "decorative element"), the company only had to pay Oxley his share of iStockphoto's licensing fee.
An iStockphoto spokeswoman told wired.com that Twitter paid between $10 and $15 for Oxley's bird design. Considering that iStockphoto pays 20 or 40 percent to content creators depending on their membership, Oxley made somewhere between $2 and $6 for designing the Twitter homepage graphic. Carolyn Davidson, who famously earned only $35 for designing the Nike swoosh, actually made out pretty well by comparison.
Twitter page mentioning that I had conceived the bird."
No such credit ever appeared, and according to iStockphoto, Twitter is not obligated to credit Oxley because they're not using his design in an editorial context.
Still, the father of Twitter birdie enjoys the notoriety his creation has achieved. "It is great to see the bird on the CNN news and BBC site — my family in the UK even mentioned seeing it on the TV news," he said. "I have also had people write telling me they have reproduced the image on the walls of their children's bedroom, and a girl had it tattooed onto her back quite large."
Twitter's use of the design is consistent with iStockphoto's terms, so Oxley doesn't feel short-changed. Nonetheless the erstwhile start-up's strategy of paying peanuts for its homepage design could backfire.
Unlike Twitter's "fail whale" graphic, which the company purchased outright after it appeared on iStockphoto, Oxley's bird design remains on the site where it can be licensed under the same terms Twitter received. Nothing is stopping people from making sites that ape, mock or build upon Twitter using its own official graphic.

Founder and Executive Director, Vicki Blevins-Booth was inspired by Dr. Harold P. Freeman and his vision for patient navigation in oncology. As the owner of VDK Turning Point, Vicki had seen and heard about the barriers faced with a cancer diagnosis and the need for education for early detection in screening.
Kentucky CancerLink, formerly known as Kentucky Pink Connection, was founded in April 2008. Certified patient navigators use the common-sense patient navigation approach launched by Dr. Harold P. Freeman, a cancer surgeon. In 1990 Dr. Freeman established the Harold P. Freeman Patient Navigation Institute in Harlem, New York City area, an institute that has had the remarkable effect of increasing retention, diagnostic and treatment resolution rates. Patient navigation is an invaluable service to individuals and their communities and makes sure each person is cared for in a humane, dignified manner. Initially sponsored by the Kentucky Breast Cancer Coalition, Ms. Blevins-Booth received her first grant from Susan G. Komen, Lexington Affiliate in April of 2008 and quickly obtained her own 501c3 status.
In 2014, after hearing the voices and seeing the need for assistance in other cancers, the board voted to expand the mission. In April of 2014, Kentucky CancerLink was officially launched with the expanded mission to remove barriers to Kentuckians so they can receive all evidence-based cancer screenings and to support those diagnosed with cancer.

Marissa Mayer Says Yahoo Has One of the World's Fastest Growing Startups
Two years after Marissa Mayer became CEO of Yahoo, she says the company is on the path to growth.
By Laura MontiniReporter, Inc.@lmmontini
Amid rumblings that Marissa Mayer's turnaround plan for Yahoo has all but failed, the CEO wants investors to know that she is overseeing one of the fastest growing businesses in Silicon Valley.
During a quarterly earnings call Tuesday, Mayer highlighted her company's success at monetizing its mobile, video, native and social products since 2012.
"In 2014, these businesses accounted for more than $1.1 billion of GAAP revenue," Mayer said. She added that in the coming year, these offerings will "contribute over a billion and a half dollars to our business," up from next to nothing two years ago, when Mayer arrived at Yahoo.
"If broken out on their own as a company, they would undoubtedly be one of the fastest growing startups in the world," she said.
To put those numbers into context, Yahoo's forth quarter revenue was down two percent to $1.8 billion, which was below analysts' expectations.
Still, Mayer indicated that this high-growth "startup" within Yahoo represents the future for the company. Prior to the call, it had been difficult to judge whether some of Yahoo's recent acquisitions had been worth the price paid. But Mayer attributed much of Yahoo's success in the realm of social media and native advertising to Tumblr, which Yahoo acquired in 2013.
Mayer cited a November GlobalWebIndex report that said Tumblr had surpassed Instagram as the fastest growing social network over the preceding six months. In the fourth quarter of 2014, its audience grew 9 percent, according to Yahoo's metrics.
The biggest news for Yahoo's shareholders came when Mayer announced at the beginning of the call that it will spin off its nearly $40 billion stake in Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba.
Going forward, Mayer said she wants Yahoo to be seen as a "preferred acquirer" but said that should wouldn't consider acquisitions as large as Tumblr -- which Yahoo paid $1.1 billion for -- unless the deal closely aligns with its mobile, video, native and social business (a group Mayer referred to throughout the call by the new acronym "MaVeNS").
During a live blog of the call, Re/code's Kara Swisher, commented that after the spin-off is complete, Mayer wouldn't be able to "afford the companies that would truly change the game for Yahoo."
Despite the fact that some still see Yahoo's Q4 results as evidence that the company cannot be jump-started, Mayer repeatedly emphasized her optimism.
"In closing, we are all here to return an iconic company to greatness," she concluded.

Police in New Mexico release video of wild chase that caused truck to jackknife
The New Mexico State Police released video on Thursday of a wild wrong-way police chase from earlier in the month of a wrong-way driver that caused a semi to jackknife.
On Feb. 7, Adrian Madrid allegedly led officers from the New Mexico State Police and deputies from the San Miguel County Sheriff's Office on a wrong-way chase on Interstate 25 for several miles. This followed calls from drivers of reports of a wrong-way driver.
The New Mexico State Police said that an officer used a PIT maneuver to force the car to wreck into a guardrail. The maneuver was successful, bringing an end to the pursuit. Madrid was arrested and treated for minor injuries.
The New Mexico State Police said Madrid was charged with the following crimes:
Aggravated Fleeing a Law Enforcement Officer 30-22-1.1 (4th Degree Felony)
Aggravated DWI (4th offense) 66-8-102 (4th Degree Felony)
Reckless Driving 66-8-113 (Misdemeanor)

No-holds-barred magic! The latest incredible colour hardback from the awe-inspiring team of spellbinding author J.K. and genius artist Jim Kay. When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of Harry Potter, it's the start of another crazy and magical term at Hogwarts. But what with omens of death, the soul-sucking Dementors and an escaped killer on his tail, Harry will need a miracle to get through his third year alive!
J. K. (Jo) Rowling was born in Chipping Sodbury in the UK in 1965. Such a funny-sounding name for a birthplace may have contributed to her talent for collecting odd names. Jo moved house twice when she was growing up. The first move was from Yate (just outside Bristol in the south west of England) to Winterbourne. Jo, her sister and friends used to play together in her street in Winterbourne. Two of her friends were a brother and sister whose surname just happened to be Potter! The second move was when Jo was nine and she moved to Tutshill near Chepstow in the Forest of Dean. Jo loved living in the countryside and spent most of her time wandering across fields and along the river Wye with her sister. For Jo, the worst thing about her new home was her new school.
Tutshill Primary School was a very small and very old-fashioned place. The roll-top desks in the classrooms still had the old ink wells. Jo's teacher, Mrs Morgan, terrified her. On the first day of school, she gave Jo an arithmetic test, which she failed, scoring zero out of ten. It wasn't that Jo was stupid – she had never done fractions before. So Jo was seated in the row of desks far to the right of Mrs Morgan. Jo soon realised that Mrs Morgan seated her pupils according to how clever she thought they were: the brightest sat to her left, and those she thought were dim were seated to her right. Jo was in the 'stupid' row, 'as far right as you could possibly get without sitting in the playground'.
From Tutshill Primary, Jo went to Wyedean Comprehensive. She was quiet, freckly, short-sighted and not very good at sports. She even broke her arm playing netball. Her favourite subject by far was English, but she also liked languages.
At school, Jo would entertain her friends at lunchtime with stories. 'I used to tell my equally quiet and studious friends long serial stories at lunchtimes.' In these stories, Jo and her friends would be heroic and daring.
As she got older, Jo kept writing but she never showed what she had written to anyone, except for some of her funny stories that featured her friends as heroines.
After school, Jo attended the University of Exeter in Devon where she studied French. Her parents hoped that by studying languages, she would enjoy a great career as a bilingual secretary. But as Jo recalls, 'I am one of the most disorganised people in the world and, as I later proved, the worst secretary ever.' She claims that she never paid much attention in meetings because she was too busy scribbling down ideas. 'This is a problem when you are supposed to be taking the minutes of the meeting,' she says.
When she was 25, Jo started writing a third novel ('I abandoned the first two when I realised how bad they were'). A year later, she went to Portugal to teach English, which she really enjoyed. Working afternoons and evenings, she had mornings free to write. The new novel was about a boy who was a wizard.
When she returned to the UK, Jo had a suitcase full of stories about Harry Potter. She moved to Edinburgh with her young daughter and worked as a French teacher. She also set herself a target: she would finish the 'Harry' novel and get it published. In 1996, one year after finishing the book, Bloomsbury bought Jo's first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
'The moment I found out that Harry would be published was one of the best of my life,' says Jo. A few months after 'Harry' was accepted for publication in Britain, an American publisher bought the rights for enough money to enable Jo to give up teaching and write full time – her life's ambition!
Jim Kay is the illustrator of Patrick Ness's A Monster Calls, which became the first book to win both the Carnegie Medal and the Kate Greenaway Award in 2012. In 2015, he illustrated a stunning new full colour edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Jim studied illustration and worked in the archives of the Tate Gallery and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, two experiences that heavily influence his work. His images for A Monster Calls use everything from beetles to bread boards to help create interesting marks and textures. He lives in Kettering, Northamptonshire.

News »G1000 Kick Off in the UK - Cambridge, September 24th
G1000 Kick Off in the UK - Cambridge, September 24th
by Brett Hennig
If Brexit proved anything, it proved that what Christopher Achen and Larry Bartels say in Democracy for Realists: Why Elections Do Not Produce Responsive Government is true. People do not vote after careful consideration of facts and options, they vote to affirm their membership of various social groups and express agreement with the opinions of those groups, which may have little or nothing to do with the issue at hand being voted upon.
As David Van Reybrouck expressed so eloquently in his article, Why elections are bad for democracy (an extract from his book Against Elections) there is something very wrong with voting and elections and there is a much better way to do democracy: select a representative random sample of ordinary people, provide them with balanced information, and let them deliberate together to find out not what people do think, but what they would think, if given the time and information together with a good deliberative process.
From 11am to 4pm on September 24th, in Cambridge at the Six Bells Pub, a group of volunteers will meet to kick-off the process of bringing Van Reybrouck's brainchild - a G1000 - to the UK for the first time. The dream is to bring a randomly selected group of 1000 residents together for one day in early 2017, to deliberate and decide together what is best for Cambridge.
But we need your help to make it a reality. We need people to donate their time and their energy to help organise such an event. We will need fundraisers, social media ambassadors, technicians, volunteers, cooks and a whole host of other help. Can you be one of these people? If so please join us, get in touch or come along to the G1000 Kick-off in Cambridge on September 24th.
Brett Hennig commented 2016-09-06 09:28:33 +0100
Good questions Helene. We are chasing the authority by contacting local councillors and trying to convince them to table the top 10 ideas at a council meeting – this will be an ongoing process. At the Dutch G1000s the participants discuss what is important for the community, then come up with specific proposals about how to achieve these ideas, then meet later with councillors to turn the most popular proposals into concrete policy. Our dream would be to emulate that process in Cambridge.
Helene Meier commented 2016-09-05 09:57:45 +0100
What is it specifically that you want these 1,000 to decide? What authority have they been granted that such a decision be implemented?

Won them way back when for the "best crash" at a dual slalom race. They are 32 hole, black and wide mountain hoops with the hang tags still on them. I can ride super light gear, so I never laced them up. I'm sure someone could use them. I'll post a pic later today.

Written by Emily Harstone
The Importance of Trope Awareness
Over the last decade, the word trope has come to be used to describe commonly recurring motifs, clichés, and rhetorical devices in a wide range of creative works.
Once you become aware of tropes, and how they're used (and misused), they can become a useful tool in your writer's toolkit.
Tropes: in characters and stories
Characters can be reduced to tropes, such as "the Park Avenue Princess" or "the boy from the wrong side of the tracks." Genre publishers, especially romance publishers, sometimes list the kind of tropes they want to see.
Although – it is the detailed life of that character that the author constructs that makes them interesting, not the trope in and of itself.
Stories can be made up of tropes like "rags to riches" or "save the world." Most stories involve more than one trope, that's how authors create a more complex plot.
It's also helpful to look at list of tropes. TV Tropes is a particularly good place to start.
Using tropes in unexpected ways
If you are aware of tropes, it's much easier to use them in unexpected ways – to subvert them and combine them in an exciting or unexpected way.
Subverting tropes is a powerful tool available to authors. For example, you can set up a story so that it seems like a "rags to riches" arc, only to discover that it's a "rags to rags" arc, or even more exciting, something completely unexpected like "rags to mystery".
Pairing a plot trope with an unexpected character trope is one of my favorite ways to generate ideas. For example, criminal mastermind plus suburban soccer mom is a pretty exciting, yet less traditional pairing (it's also more or less the plot of TV show Good Girls).
Understanding problem tropes
Tropes cannot be inherently good. Save the world does not automatically make a good story, it takes an author to do that. But some tropes can be inherently problematic. For example, there's a common science fiction trope that women need to be sexually assaulted in order to become more powerful.
One of the many reasons authors should be more aware of tropes is so that they can avoid including problematic ones. For a long time, I read stories without any real awareness of tropes. I would enjoy a movie or a book, without the fact that it was "a love at first sight" story even entering my mind.
Identifying tropes to analyze works, create plots
Once I started identifying problematic tropes that I wanted to avoid reading, I started to also notice and identify tropes in creative work in general. I've found this practice surprisingly helpful because it helps me understand a story at its most basic layer, and then examine what the author has done to set that trope apart.
It's helped me analyze and learn from stories at a different level but it's also helped me create more unique and surprising plots, in part because I view my own plots in the context of creative work produced by others, but containing those same tropes.
Learning more about tropes takes time. A good place to start is to find out what tropes contribute to your favorite creative works.
But the more I think about a creative work in terms of tropes the better I understand it, and the more I understand how to make my own work better and more layered.

Exiting from Afghanistan and Moving to the Indo-Pacific: India and Pakistan in US Foreign Policy
Kalinga Institute of Indo-Pacific Studies - Scholars' Point - Exiting from Afghanistan and Moving to the Indo-Pacific: India and Pakistan in US Foreign Policy
Sweta Kumari

"As commander in chief of the most powerful military in the world, I spend a lot of time brooding over these issues. And I'm not satisfied we've got it perfect yet."
The above words were spoken by President Barack Obama at the NATO summit in Warsaw in July 2016 concerning the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan. Soon after the 9/11 attacks, the United States got heavily invested in this region both diplomatically and militarily. President Obama during his tenure realized the development of new events at the global level and initiated two significant changes in the foreign policy of the United States. Firstly, the need was felt to stabilize war-torn Afghanistan, to train and assist the Afghan forces and to bring the American troops back home as soon as possible. Secondly, it became imperative to recognize the emergence of Asia Pacific as the most dynamic region in the world both economically and strategically. This led to the formulation of the next great strategy of the foreign policy called "Pivot to Asia" which was later rephrased as the "Asia Rebalancing."
While stepping into the future, it was required for the United States to gradually withdraw from some of its past engagements. In terms of developing relationships in the Asia Pacific, the Obama administration was quite successful. It strengthened relations with allies like Japan and South Korea, and also in making new strategic partnerships with countries, such as Vietnam and India. While the situation in Afghanistan remained turbulent and the US suffered casualties, it made several attempts in vain to place a strong democratic government in Kabul. The Taliban continued to impact the country.
For its Afghanistan policy, Pakistan is very crucial for the United States. It is an important gateway for the American troops to enter or exit landlocked Afghanistan. Given the history of US- Iran relations, the route through Iran cannot even be considered as an option. Apart from this, the northern border areas of Pakistan has been a safe haven for a segment of the Taliban forces. Today, under President Donald Trump's administration, an attempt is being made for maintaining a 'fragile peace' in Afghanistan and bring the US troops back home. Pakistan's known close relations with the Taliban makes it a crucial party in the US peace negotiations with the Taliban.
On the other hand, India has emerged as a potential strategic partner in the Indo-Pacific for the US. India has a vital role to play to balance the 'new' China, which is not just economically but also militarily expanding its influence in the region. Chinese aggression in the South China Sea and the East China Sea is already a significant point of concern for the US. The People's Liberation Army's Naval wing is making forays into the Indian Ocean which have created worries for both India and the US.
The recent escalation in tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pulwama attacks has put the US in a difficult situation as Pakistan tries to manipulate peace negotiations in Afghanistan. Recently, Pakistan's Ambassador to the UN, Maleeha Lodhi expressed her country's "obligation" to shift its focus on its Eastern borders towards India which may make affect their efforts in the Western borders alongside Afghanistan, if the situation with India got worsened. Although these statements from Pakistan have been considered as an exaggeration by the US, they do concern the policymakers in Washington.
There has been a continuous effort by the US to ease the tension between the two crucial states. At the same time, the Trump administration has been very vocal about its dissatisfaction with Pakistan, concerning the latter's efforts to put an end to the terrorist activities taking place in its mainland. The US also refrained from giving any adverse remarks against India after the air strikes conducted by its forces in Balakot. All these turns of events suggest that the US in its foreign policy is now favoring India over Pakistan. The growing China-Pakistan bonhomie further adds to this case. Despite all these advancements, one crucial factor that can overshadow everything is that both American and NATO troops rely on Pakistan's cooperation for withdrawing their troops from Afghanistan.
The safety of American lives has always been the utmost priority in American foreign policy. Thus, the de-escalation of tension between India and Pakistan seems to be the best option for the Trump administration to transit from one region that kept it occupied for the past two decades towards a region which happens to be crucial for America in future.

Alfredo Arribas, Seat Pavilion, Wolfsburg
This book features text in English and Spanish. In 2000, the Autostadt, a show park for the Volkswagen group and its subsidiaries from Seat via Audi to Bentley and Lamborghini, opened in Wolfsburg. Alfredo Arribas designed the Seat Pavilion, and has brought off the brilliant trick of making an essentially reticent building into the focal point of the Autostadt. The structure is like a snail shell, forbidding and closed with the exception of a band of windows that seems to rise directly out of the surface of the lake on the Autostadt site. The irregular curve of the ground plan is reminiscent of a leaf or other forms borrowed from nature. Access is via two elegant ramps floating over the water and the site and thrusting straight into the centre of the pavilion: a homage to the old master, Le Corbusier. And then inside we are confronted with a surprise-packed exhibition landscape: a dazzling synthesis of acoustic and visual impressions that cast their spell over visitors as they walk round. Alfredo Arribas was a provocative newcomer on the architectural scene in Barcelona in the late eighties and is now an international success. He was probably predestined for this job like no other architect. He showed a highly personal flair for presenting spaces and goods from the outset, attracting early attention with his designs for discotheques and bars like the enormous Louie Vega (1988) discotheque, or the Torres de Avila (1990). The expressive tower for the Marugame Hirai Museum (1993) is also part of this creative phase, where forms did not necessarily have to be justified by functional logic. But Arribas' architecture changed into its business suit for the very next commissions. For example, even bankers in their pin-stripe suits feel perfectly at home in the cafeteria he designed for Norman Foster's Commerzbank headquarters in Frankfurt. Arribas is working on two large projects at present: a family entertainment centre in Bari and the Cite des Musiques Vivantes in Montlucon. 49pp.

' "Listen Then, or Rather, Answer": Contemporary Challenges to Socratic Education' by Fullam, J
Educational Theory, 65/1: 53-71, February 2015 (Wiley) bit.ly/QuestioningSocrates
Its namesake may have died more than 2,000 years ago, but the Socratic method still informs education practice. In this paper, Jordan Fullam examines the work of French philosopher Jacques Rancière (pictured), who has launched a number of challenges to the Socratic approach.
Fullam starts by reflecting on the stature of Socratic thought in modern education, noting its use in settings ranging from primary schools to college philosophy classes.
Rancière's main objection to this is that the Socratic approach subordinates the student's intellect to the teacher's, meaning that the students do not really think for themselves. In Rancière's theory, Socratic education is stealthy, appearing to allow students to think independently but actually guiding them towards a position held by the teacher.
To examine this claim, Fullam analyses the portrayal of the Socratic method as it appears in The Republic by Plato - one of the chief accounts of Socrates' teaching. The text portrays moments where Socrates manipulates his students. In these terms, Rancière's critique may well be justified.
But Fullam points out that Socratic education in contemporary literature is not the same as that discussed by Plato. He notes that of all modern Socratic educational approaches, "none that are documented in educational literature include a strategy of leading questions in the manner Rancière identifies". …

Cuijk es un pueblo y un municipio de la provincia de Brabante Septentrional en los Países Bajos, en la ribera del río Mosa. El 30 de abril de 2017 contaba con una población de 24.754 habitantes, sobre una superficie de 57,07 km², de los que 5,78 km² corresponden a la superficie ocupada por el agua, con una densidad de 483 h/km².

El actual municipio se formó a raíz de la remodelación municipal de 1994 por la fusión de los antiguos municipios de Cuijk en Sint Agatha, Beers y Haps. El ayuntamiento se localiza en Cuijk. Otros núcleos de población son Katwijk, Linden, Vianen y Sint Agatha.

Cuijk aparece a la orilla del Mosa en el mapa de Peutinger con el nombre de Ceculum, derivado del celta Keujka, con el significado de doblar,
en aparente alusión a un meandro del río. Sobre él los romanos construyeron hacia el 340 un puente y un castellum,
abandonados en 406. Durante la Edad Media Cuijk estuvo en la órbita de Güeldres, sin llegar a integrarse nunca en el ducado de Brabante. Fue tras la ocupación francesa, entre 1810 y 1814, cuando se produjo la fusión de Cuijk y Sint Agatha, entrando el nuevo municipio a formar parte de la provincia de Brabante. En 1942 Linden y Katwijk se unieron al municipio y en 1994 llegó la vigente fusión con Beers y Haps.

La economía, básicamente agrícola, conoció una importante transformación ya antes de 1940 por la instalación de nuevas industrias: fábrica de tabaco Victor Hugo y de máquinas de escribir Adler.

Dispone de estación de ferrocarril y está comunicado por vía férrea con Nimega, Venlo y Roermond.

BACKGROUND: A variety of interactions between up to three different movement proteins (MPs), the coat protein (CP) and genomic DNA mediate the inter- and intra-cellular movement of geminiviruses in the genus Begomovirus. Although movement of viruses in the genus Mastrevirus is less well characterized, direct interactions between a single MP and the CP of these viruses is also clearly involved in both intra- and intercellular trafficking of virus genomic DNA. However, it is currently unknown how specific these MP-CP interactions are, nor how disruption of these interactions might impact on virus viability. RESULTS: Using chimaeric genomes of two strains of Maize streak virus (MSV) we adopted a genetic approach to investigate the gross biological effects of interfering with interactions between virus MP and CP homologues derived from genetically distinct MSV isolates. MP and CP genes were reciprocally exchanged, individually and in pairs, between maize (MSV-Kom)- and Setaria sp. (MSV-Set)-adapted isolates sharing 78% genome-wide sequence identity. All chimaeras were infectious in Zea mays c.v. Jubilee and were characterized in terms of symptomatology and infection efficiency. Compared with their parental viruses, all the chimaeras were attenuated in symptom severity, infection efficiency, and the rate at which symptoms appeared. The exchange of individual MP and CP genes resulted in lower infection efficiency and reduced symptom severity in comparison with exchanges of matched MP-CP pairs. CONCLUSION: Specific interactions between the mastrevirus MP and CP genes themselves and/or their expression products are important determinants of infection efficiency, rate of symptom development and symptom severity.

Boycott Movement Human rights International International News News Report
Jewish Voice for Peace Condemns Trumps Executive Order Silencing Israel Critics on Campuses
The US-based group Jewish Voice for Peace issued the following statement in response to Donald Trump's latest executive order.
Their statment reads as follows:
The impending Executive Order by President Trump will do nothing to make Jewish students safer on college campuses, and Jewish Voice for Peace is appalled at this blatant attempt to silence criticism of Israel.
Trump's Executive Order allegedly targeting campus antisemitism is the culmination of decades of attempts by anti-Palestinian organizations to suppress Palestinian organizing, advocacy, research and teaching on college campuses. The EO, which would codify a dangerous and overly broad definition of antisemitism into federal civil rights law, fails to offer any protection to Jewish students. Instead, it will usher in a climate of fear on college campuses, where university administrations will be incentivized to silence student activism, faculty research, and teaching about Palestine – while white supremacist organizing, which has been steadily increasing under Trump, will go unchecked.
Rabbi Alissa Wise, acting Co-Executive Director of Jewish Voice for Peace, said:
"Three days ago, Trump said Jews would vote for him because they like money. And yet now he suddenly pretends to care about Jewish safety? He has never cared about stopping antisemitism – this Executive Order is about silencing Palestinians and the people who speak up with them. The Executive Order is his way of forcing through a deeply unpopular and unconstitutional bill. Jewish Voice for Peace calls on members of Congress to immediately condemn this Executive Order and commit to overturning this authoritarian act."
This EO essentially duplicates legislation that has failed to garner bipartisan support in the House or Senate for years. Opposition to the so-called "Anti-Semitism Awareness Act" has grown steadily, including objections from activists and free speech groups. Most recently, over 250 Jewish students opposed the 2019 act. In 2016, over 60 Jewish Studies professors, and over 300 Jewish students, opposed this definition. When this definition was proposed by anti-Palestinian activists to the University of California in 2015, over 300 UC faculty came out in opposition, along with the LA Times editorial board, American Civil Liberties Union, and California Scholars for Academic Freedom.
The EO relies on the work of Kenneth Marcus, the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights in the Department of Education. Marcus, and his organization the Brandeis Center, has long harassed students and faculty who disagree with his extremist and right-wing views on Israel. He openly advocates for defunding Middle East studies departments who are too critical of Israeli policy, and has, in his capacity as head of the Brandeis Center, gone after individual students who protest Israeli actions.

HomeNewsHurricane Lane Drops Historic Rainfall
Hurricane Lane Drops Historic Rainfall
Posted: August 28, 2018 Donna Adinolfi News, Trending
cnbc.com via Mario Tama/Getty Images Hurricane Lane Drops Historic Rainfall on the Big Island
Hurricane Lane began as a Category 5 with winds over 150 miles per hour and came in as a Tropical Storm with winds at about 40 miles per hour with much of the damage on the Big Island of Hawaii.
In a nutshell: Lane was considered a Tropical Depression over the weekend and gained strength early Monday to become a Tropical Storm dumping over 4-feet of rain on Hawaii. Lane was also the first storm to threaten the Hawaiian Islands in over 26-years and could be the costliest. This historic rainfall was the 3rd highest at 50-inches compared to 52-inches during Hurricane Hiki in 1950 and the most recorded rainfall of 62-inches in 2017 with Hurricane Harvey in Texas.
Even though Lane was downgraded, it still caused major damage with flooding, property damage, washed out roadways in Hawaii and the winds also stirred up brush fires in dryer areas of Oahu and Maui. Some good news is that the Wailuku River is taking the flood waters out to the Pacific Ocean.
While Hawaii was spared from the devastation of a category 4 or 5 hurricane, rain is expected to continue over the next several days as weakening Lane continues west.
Another Hurricane on the way?
According to the National Hurricane Center, the latest East Pacific Tropical Storm (Miriam) is currently about 1,600 miles east-southeast of Hilo and about 1,485 miles west-southwest of Baja Californ, Mexico (southern tip) and is expected to become a hurricane.

Over the past few years, we've talked on and off about expanding NY Ski Magazine's coverage beyond North America and after much foot-dragging (most of it mine), we're finally making it happen.
To inaugurate the new "Europe" section of the Magazine, I thought that it would be fun to go back to my first winter trip across the pond: a March 2003 visit to Kitzbühel, Austria.
While the Kitzbühel Alps aren't considered the top tier of the country's ski regions — the Arlberg and Ischgl, to be covered in upcoming articles, are — it was a great introduction to the differences between skiing in North America and Europe. Due to insufficient disposable income, a brutal exchange rate, and job/family obligations, I've only made it back to Austria a few times since then, but until I find somewhere that enthralls me more, it'll remain my favorite ski destination.


This staircase was designed with 39mm (1.5") thick, laminated, ultra-low iron glass treads, landings and bridge walkway. Every glass tread is seated on custom machined stainless steel tread plates that were welded onto the hidden stringers. Each stair tread is supported/ fastened with custom designed/machined aluminum tread blocks that were finished in a satin nickel. The tread blocks were designed to carry the load/weight of the brickwork that sits atop of the stair treads. This project also required custom manufactured LED module blocks to throw the light into the desired direction and the aluminum that the modules were manufactured from created an abundant surface area for heat sink displacement. This oversized heatsink design substantially increases the life expectancy of the LED lighting modules. Each glass surface was laser etched in full HD to distribute the light with an artistic flare.
