High Density High Stakes
An essay by Jaron Lubin, written for publication in MARK, September 2017
Recalling hip hop artist De La Soul's fourth album title 'Stakes is High' may be an appropriate message to officials, architects and urban design professionals responsible for designing and building the cities of today and tomorrow.
According to current UN projections, by the year 2050 the world population will increase from 7.5 billion to 9.7 billion and close to 66 percent of this population will live in cities. Rightfully so, there is growing investment in the study of our cities and whether they can be designed to respond and adapt to rapid urban densification.
To accommodate increasing populations in cities, the trend at the end of the 20th century was an emerging mixed-use building typology of office, commercial and residential hybrids - tall towers over retail podium blocks. These structures, while a showcase of our ability to engineer high and slender, often lack a proper relationship to one another. They fail to integrate into a city's fabric and struggle to find a relationship with public space; often with little reverence to their surroundings.
How can these buildings be reshaped to contribute to a greater quality of city life?
Take Singapore for example. Over the past two decades, Singapore has been a prolific promoter of novel building and urban scale experiments, resulting in a city center filled with a great diversity of spatial experiences at both ground level and at height. It's an anomaly among its peer cities of the same size. New buildings are porous, interlinked with public transit systems below, and sky bridges above, and clad with gardens. Streets are well proportioned and there is a sense that the human experience is prioritized. The combination of smart urban design, stunning high-tech architecture and a command over indoor-outdoor living represents a striking model for other cities to emulate.
Singapore's success is no accident. In large part, it is made possible by incentives and policy-making by the Singapore Urban Redevelopment Authority [URA]. The combination of smart policy-making and dialogue between the URA, designers and developers is a true recipe for success.
Let's take one incentive the URA has created 'the 45 degree rule' which allows developers to build open green space amenity decks within buildings, and they can do so for free. The taller the void the more free area can be granted. This simple rule limits wall-like developments and encourages more outdoor spaces at height.
Another policy inspires terracing building geometry rather than vertical extrusions, which has had a direct visual impact on the city skyline. The URA team is always tuning these incentives to guide and support smart development one way or the other. Each rule has been met with inventiveness, too, on the part of the community of architects and designers who receive them; for instance, the creation of "Skyparks", "Sky Forests", and many other types of (sky) innovations, all of which contribute to a vibrant, livable, and dense urban center. Elsewhere around the world architects are also innovating take Bjarke Ingels Group's series of 'courtscrapers' one in New York City and a second proposed for Toronto. But one cannot rely on these concepts to be bred internal to a pure architectural process.More widespread impact is clearly felt when policy and design aspirations are in dialogue.
Back to Singapore, one finds innovation even in public housing projects. The Singaporean architecture practice WOHA conceived of Skyville Dawson, a public housing estate that positions densely planted terraces with mature trees every 12 stories, breaking up the building scale along its height. The result is more a vertical village than a block tower extrusion. WOHA's latest book, 'Garden City Mega City' refutes the idea that high density equals a reduced quality of life, instead calling for 'high density high amenity' architecture.
Then there is also Singapore's own SkyHabitat, a private high-rise residential development which multiplies the ground plane with three garden bridges crossing between two 38 storey residential towers. Each tower is stepped in profile, creating garden terraces for over one-third of the units. The accessible garden bridges allow more space for residents to spill out from their homes and enjoy the outdoors together. SkyHabitat also 'reclaims' 80 percent of the ground area it has displaced in the form of terraced and shared garden spaces.
The principles of a multi-ground, three-dimensional city are not new. In the 1960s, Yona Friedman proposed the concept of La Ville Spatiale, a vision to build levitated three-dimensional structures over cities filled with housing modules, gardens, and public spaces. There is also Habitat '67 in Montreal designed by Moshe Safdie, which is perhaps the best known built version of a three-dimensional building system. Habitat '67's mission was cleverly 'for everyone a garden.'
So the question remains; can we consider shared spaces up high the true Public Realm, or do these spaces suffer from being privileged environments, surveilled and controlled? And in locales where planting trees and plants may not be sustainable due to climate and geography, what else can we propose aside from putting trees on buildings? Are there other opportunities to innovate with commercial and public programming at height to create a more intricate and interesting three-dimensional experience of the city?
It is clear that the richest innovation stems from dialogue between policy makers and designers, working in close collaboration with one another. The planning parameters do not need to be complex, and as seen in Singapore, even a simple policy can have a profound impact ensuring that buildings which are interconnected and complementary to each another and better fit to their surroundings. As our urban centers continue to grow more mega and become more densely populated, it is critical that we continue to prioritize these explorations, these experiments, as they will ensure the cities of the future remain friendly to all of us tiny humans who inhabit them.

Bourdain, Spade suicides siren importance of seeking help
Michael Yates/Guest Column
Anthony Bourdain, the gifted chef, storyteller, and writer who took TV viewers around the world to explore culture, cuisine, and the human condition for nearly two decades, has died — the cause of death was suicide. Bourdain's death came days after fashion designer Kate Spade hanged herself last Tuesday at her Manhattan apartment. Social media is alight with condolences, sympathy, and questions over their deaths.
These recent suicides have reverberated through the American entertainment landscape with a shattering reminder that suicide is a serious public health problem that causes immeasurable pain, suffering, and loss to individuals, families, and communities nationwide. The causes of suicide are complex and determined by multiple combinations of factors, such as mental illness, substance abuse, painful losses, exposure to violence, and social isolation.
A recent CNN release shared how Bourdain approached his work, "We ask very simple questions: What makes you happy?" His curious manner in how he approached work is a timely reminder for us to be resolute in our collective curiosity and care for one another.
Suicide is a growing problem in the United States. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a survey Thursday showing suicide rates increased by 25 percent across the United States over nearly two decades ending in 2016. Twenty-five states experienced a rise in suicides by more than 30 percent, the government report finds.
The suicide rate in the United States has seen sharp increases in recent years. Studies have shown that the risk of suicide declines sharply when people call the national suicide hotline: 1-800-273-TALK.
Brian Buuck, CEO of Ridgeview Behavioral Health Services, urges, "If you or someone you know and love is at a breaking point, especially one so low they speak of wanting to end their life, take immediate action to get them help." Here in the Anderson, Scott, Morgan, Campbell and Roane County areas, immediate help comes from Ridgeview Behavioral Health Services who have caring professionals available to help at (865) 482-1076, or through the Mobile Crisis Team, that is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-870-5481.
Michael Yates is director of development for Ridgeview. Ridgeview is a private, not-for-profit community mental health center with locations in Anderson, Campbell, Morgan, Roane, and Scott counties.

Young Love! Tyga Has A 'Surprise Engagement Party' For Kylie Jenner Ahead Of Her Birthday — The SHOCKING Details Are Revealed!
She really is Kim Kardashian 2.0! It turns out Kylie Jenner is following her older sister's steps to a tee, and just like how Kim got hitched at the age of 19 to music producer Damon Thomas, Kylie is ready to wed her own rapper beau, Tyga!
When Kylie stepped out to head to The Nice Guy in West Hollywood alongside her family and random pals, which included Teyana Taylor and Chris Brown, many thought it was odd she was celebrating her birthday so early. And they had reason to raise their eyebrows!
No wonder Caitlyn, who showed up to her 18th birthday fiesta, was a no-show! "Caitlyn doesn't approve of Tyga — and nor do many of Kylie's friends," added the insider.
Do you think Kylie is secretly engaged? Let us know in the comments section.


Discussion in 'Worldwide MMA Discussion' started by Readybodisready, Aug 1, 2015.
Submitting Shields(never been done before) and Fitch back to back is incredible. If you would take a moment without being salty and look at the skill level he shows in there it reminds me of some of the catch wrestling phenoms, he just grabs whatever he can and executes a hold perfectly.
I really wish we got to see him against Maia, we were robbed as MMA fans of that. What a tragedy.
Palhares is the greatest MMA grappler ever. He is a beast.
In terms of finishing ability, he's definitely top 5 all time. Between the quality of his victims and the sheer violence he submits them with, I would rank him like number three, probably the most dangerous non-heavyweight submission artist, right below Werdum and Mir.
Grappling as a whole, he loses a few points because he definitely isn't a positional whiz lol (too reckless) but he is fantastic nonetheless. Possibly top 10 all time.
I don't know... his showing against Belcher was pretty weaksauce.
Def. one of the greatest submission artists to ever compete in MMA though.
His last two fights more than made up for the Belcher performance IMO.
He'll further expand his legacy after he goes to One FC and does the same thing to Askren(since he'll probably get banned from fighting in America).
Paul Harris ability to mar his real accomplishments and incredible talent with consistently reckless and unsportsmanlike behaviour is almost Tyson-esque.
I wish he had the ability to control himself better, because with more discipline, he could have been a contender for the UFC title.
As it is, he will be lucky to fight on continent again.
We'll see during the inevitable Paul Harris v Askren.
I see him taking Askren's leg home with him. The guy is just a submission machine and Askren's standup is Shields-esque.
What does that make Belcher?
In all seriousness though, I think his style is reckless and his guard game is absolutely weak to where he had to resort to eye gouging to defend from Shields mounting him. His biggest advantage is that he just hulk smashes people into submissions. No surprise that same hulk strength would grow to shine even more within organizations on the outskirts of any thorough regulation.
I've never spoken poorly of Palhares skills. I just honestly wonder how he has the cognitive functioning to actually acquire them.
Well yes, he is one of the very best finisher of all time.
Have these guys faced other great grapplers and got the better of them, submitted them? Definitely not the last two.
Are we talking MMA here? If so plenty of times. Imanari has the second most black belt subs in MMA and Aoki made a career out of out-grappling good MMA grapplers. Going by your own criteria I'd say they've probably out grappled more great grapplers than anyone you listed.
Impressive. Need more details though.
Subbed blackbelts Jorge Gurgel, Renato Tavares, Hiroshi Umemura, Jean Silva, Hiroyuki Abe & Mike Brown.

Anaheim Ducks Assign Urho Vaakanainen On Conditioning Loan
The Anaheim Ducks have assigned defenseman Urho Vaakanainen to the AHL's San Diego Gulls on a long-term injury conditioning loan, according to the team.
It's a great sign for Vaakanainen and his playing future that he's able to give it a go in the minors on a short-term basis. The young defenseman has already had an injury-plagued career, and potentially his scariest injury came in a September 30 preseason game against the San Jose Sharks. Vaakanainen left the contest on a stretcher after a collision caused his head to hit the boards.
Today, it was reported that Vaakanainen had resumed practicing. It's unclear when he'll play in his first game with San Diego, but as he's just returned to the ice, don't expect it to be right away.
Vaakanainen, a stout defensive prospect, was one of the main pieces in the return from the Boston Bruins in exchange for Hampus Lindholm at last season's trade deadline. The 2017 first-round pick eclipsed 10 NHL games for the first time in 2021-22 and remained in the league full-time with Anaheim after the trade. He had two assists in 14 games, even working his way into a top-four role.
The Ducks weren't great last season defensively, and they haven't demonstrated any improvement this season either. Whether or not Vaakanainen can make a material difference to the team's porous play remains to be seen, but he would allow the team to relieve some less NHL-ready players.

Traders' body wants 5% tax on e-commerce players
Trisha Jalan
The Federation of All India Vyapar Mandal (FAIVM), a pan-India body of traders and retailers, has recommended that the government impose a tax of 5% on e-commerce companies such as Amazon and Walmart-owned Flipkart. FAIVM, which claims to represent 2 crore traders across more than 18 states, said that the traders' community is going through "a miserable state after demonetization and complex GST". Online e-commerce has further fueled the question of survival for the nation's brick and mortal trade, it said in a Budget wishlist released on January 4.
"To curb online business, the government should bring a law and impose a special tax at the rate of 5% on online sales so that small shopkeepers can survive," the traders' body said. The body has a presence in over 18 states, including in Delhi, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and West Bengal and Northeast India.
VK Bansal, the organisation's national general secretary, explained that there is huge investment required in setting up a brick-and-mortar store, but a vendor listing on Amazon technically does not have to incur significant cost. Earnings can now be made online, without substantial investment, thus ruining a balance between retailers, he explained. Traditional marketplaces need to be sustained for employment generation, he said. Although the government cannot change consumer behaviour, it can create a balance through levies and policies, Bansal added.
When asked about how the 5% rate was arrived at, Bansal said it has no logic, but introducing this nominal amount of tax to begin with will create a sentiment that the government supports traditional retailers, he said, adding that it will also bring some extra revenue to the government.
Registered in 2017, FAIVM's stated objective is to liaison with central and state government and local bodies for the benefit or traders, manufacturers, hawkers, and service providers; to influence relevant legislation, among other things. Jayendra Tanna from Gujarat is the current national president.
The organisation said it has lobbied the government to waive Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) on digital payments and played a "major role in formulation policies for e-commerce".

'Hearing birdsong with such clarity has become for many a small joy and a valuable mental health boost during lockdown.' Photograph: Alamy
Although not an experienced birder, I would call myself a proponent of ornitherapy; it makes me happy and relaxed to see and hear birds around me. I also have the good fortune to live in a country with not only a great number of birds (both species and individuals), but also an area that's remote enough to have fairly little noise pollution. So bottom line, I hear birds all the time. In fact, at the times when they're quiet for some reason, it feels eerily strange.
So, despite the unprecedented challenges people are currently facing around the world, I hope that occasionally there's a moment to at least open the window and listen for the birds.
The Guardian view on birdsong: a fragile joy
The chance to put biodiversity and the environment at the heart of recovery from the pandemic should not be squandered
One night in April, birdwatchers from around Britain stepped outside their doors and listened intently to something most of them had never experienced before: the fluting, mysterious, melancholy cry of the common scoter on the wing.
Flocks of these dusky sea ducks were beating their way over Britain on their long migratory journey towards their Arctic breeding grounds, easily audible to the naked ear. The first great wave was heard on the Wirral before being picked up in the Peak District, and at last by the Humber. A second wave was made out as flocks made their way along the line of Hadrian's wall, from the Solway Firth in the west to Northumberland in the east. A third wave flew above listeners from the Severn estuary to the Wash. The birds were heard in urban Blackburn, Stalybridge, Bristol and London. It was thanks to social media that so many listeners were alert to the birds' progress – and thanks to the silence of lockdown that they could be heard.
With few planes in the sky and vehicles on the roads to muffle its sound, birdsong has been ringing out loud and clear. It was a decade ago that the skies were anything like this quiet, when flights were grounded after the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull erupted. The last time traffic levels were so low was the early 1970s.
Hearing birdsong with such clarity has become for many a small joy and a valuable mental health boost during lockdown.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) says there has been a spike in the appetite to learn about garden birdsong. Helpful resources abound, from the RSPB's online identifier to Norfolk Wildlife Trust's wonderfully poetic guide to the dawn chorus, describing the "Wagnerian grandeur" of the mistle thrush's song and the robin's "tone of introspection and understated tragedy".
But British wildlife has not made a comeback during the lockdown. It is just as threatened as it was before the pandemic. It is patterns of human behaviour and human attention that have changed. This moment will be a fleeting one: birds may never be as audible again. As lockdown begins to ease, traffic will gradually pick up. Birdsong will be blotted out once more – and air quality will deteriorate.
Does it have to be that way?

"The hosting of the Olympics in Sochi, which just a few years ago would have been unable to host a championship of this magnitude, demonstrates that Russia can resolve any challenge and can achieve even the most ambitious of goals," said Russian President Vladimir Putin at the opening of the 126th session of the International Olympic Committee.
The feel-good effect of holding such a world-class event will have a positive impact on the Russian economy. However, this may be limited to the areas surrounding the event itself, where the result of the investments in the state-of-the-art stadiums, railway station and other infrastructure works are evident. The good feelings may not spread countrywide, though. This may be due to two factors: 1) the sheer size of the Russian Federation — people in the Far East who are 5-6 time zones away from the games may view this as a Moscow showpiece that has nothing to do with them; and 2) the general apathy of the people toward the government — the games may be viewed as something that the government and the oligarchs did for their own benefit. That said, during the games, there will be a big boost for the food and beverage sector in Moscow – it is impossible to get a table in any decent bar that will televise the opening ceremony live.
The other potential benefit of the Sochi Olympics is for the internal tourism sector. Sochi – with its lovely beaches in the summer and snowy slopes in the winter — was always seen as a resort area even in the Soviet times, where a lot of the Politburo members would spend their vacation. Now that the infrastructure is in place, and with the right marketing, Sochi could become the "Miami" of Russia in the summer and equivalent of a French Alps ski resort in the winter. This will be attractive to the more affluent Russians who have traveled the world already and are looking to spend vacations at home.

The series Refractions/Reflections questions the ways in which the neighboring suburbs of Kraafontein and Brackenfell depict the new South Africa.
These two geographically adjacent communities combined boast a diverse demographic that is roughly 36% Black 33% Coloured, and 30% White. Although they share grocery stores, roads, robots and gas stations, these suburbs are separated; The middle class municipality of Brackenfell's racial demographics are 79% White, 9.8% Black African, and 9% Coloured. In contrast, the working class suburb of Kraafontein is 14.4% White, 43.3% Black African, 40% Coloured.
In these 55 square kilometers, the landscape represents the present and the past, the realities of desegregation and the myth of harmony. In articulating this post apartheid vision of the South African landscape, how have romanticized visions of the Rainbow Nation expanded or collapsed?

While everything you set in your schedule will be different according to your enterprise and goals, there are a couple templates it's likely to work from to remain concentrated. A schedule clarifies the objective of the interview and participants comprehend the reason why they're expected to attend. Be specific about the things that you've got on your schedule. Since the group leader, you've must have the schedule, otherwise you'll have anarchy in your palms and no one will thank you .
If someone feels as though their role at the assembly isn't quite as significant, they aren't as prone to participate with the team. In case the agents of a business don't know what things to talk in the assembly or suffer with this matter, it will be a utter waste of time. Last, consider the questions you're most likely to face from associates and write a list of possible answers. Possessing all your staff members in 1 area supplies you with the perfect opportunity to make them feel a part of the company 's accomplishments. You'd consider that amassing a bunch of smart men and women that have a focused target is an excellent use of time. 110 individuals is an excellent amount to begin, since if there are tons of folks on the telephone, there's a reduction expectation you'll have to take part in the dialogue. You'll also obtain a couple project reporting templates to save time and create consistent reports across jobs such as executives.
Whatever strategy you choose, the objective is to transfer the attention from your job to your own relationships together. The purpose here would be to make sure everyone knows if they're likely to fulfill, and should they're called to perform the job. It may also be well worth contemplating including somebody from outside the group, too.
An understanding of present requirements which should result in a request in comes business. Everyone in your business ought to know about exactly what your goal appears like, and also how that they have the ability to affect your heart priorities. If your company has had discussions with the person you'll be meeting , learn exactly what the client said they care for. Once per week, the entire firm gets collectively and meets one hour . Many companies use Google Docs to give everyone in the business access to some record. The specific effects firm should get just as much processing power as you can from different processing units to get the most inexpensive amount of cash possible. You simply have to focus on your merchandise and leave the remainder to present solutions.
You won't ever know which assembly will change the length of the enterprise enterprise. Next, you need to organize the assembly. One of the complaints which many people have about encounters is that they squander time. You want to consider a distant meeting as a regular company meeting with no capability to clearly see and listen to everybody throughout the full meeting. It's hard to maintain a distant meeting with a substantial amount of participants, due to the capabilities of this technologies and the everybody 's ability to increase the conversation.
You will need to be sure your meeting begins and finishes on the time and, moreover, has a fair duration. Don't allow any wiggle-roomthe assembly is simply likely to be on the things in your own schedule. It's likely to also begin by outlining what has been achieved because the preceding meeting.
In case you would like 't even demand a meeting you shouldn't possess one. Monthly meetings might be forgotten. All-hands meetings could possibly be the best place to reassess and also discuss the entire disposition from the supplier.
There's no such thing as a great strategy, and it's imperative that everyone is about the specific same webpage. A tactical plan needs an extremely clear overview of your company 's goal, its own reason for existing in the initial site. The thought was designed to announce you're nonetheless existing whilst recognizing everything else occurring on your lifetime. Since the moderator, you will be the point of touch, which usually means you have a obligation to make things go along with potential. Nearly all the second, the answer to why some people match, be it at the workplace or out, is that there's an program. You could also seek the recommendations of the attendees to indicate the subjects that are essential to be discussed at the particular meeting.
By producing your thoughts about your organization 's goal and worth concrete, you're likely to be carrying a huge initial step ahead of the introduction of a plan which could lead one to achievement. The only on a single meeting minutes template can work as a manual and make your meetings enjoyable and engaging. The one on a single assembly template gets the upcoming components. The meeting schedule template also supplies you amazing, organized moments which could possibly be shared instantly, without any excess work. Ultimately, inventing one template for all those meetings and businesses isn't an extremely excellent idea since it might not appeal to every one your requirements. It's crucial to follow alongside a ideal structure of a business email, since it immediately refers to your character.
In nearly all instances, a program doesn't even must be a mystery. Implementing the seminar agenda template would be your absolute best and simplest method to create a schedule for your that's fantastic looking and specialist. The schedule will ensure that each one of the goals of this assembly are attained. It's likely to also have a peek at our assembly schedule example to show your more info and tips. A meeting schedule can be organised in a lot of ways. A flourishing conference meeting schedule should be made in such a manner that participants could prepare allocate their time sensibly, along with ensuring everybody is remaining on precisely the same topic.
Conferences are usually advised 1 to two months beforehand. The conference begins with the advent. Make it as straightforward as you can for every single parent to attend conferences. Given the immense worth of parent participation in effective outcomes for children, there's considerable reason to think about parent-teacher conferences otherwise. It's much better to organize an exceptional convention if a child has any challenging behaviours.
A program isn't merely a listing of items to do, but also it's intended to cover all significant and proper specifics. An extremely clear schedule makes it easier to record successful meeting minutes. Composing a seminar schedule isn't easy, but detecting those ideas may help you produce a winning seminar schedule. As a result of this, creating a high excellent conference program is essential. These suggestions are supposed to aid in creating a seminar schedule from start to finish. To ensure an educational and effective occasion a sample seminar agenda is essential.
Be sure to prepare a record of items that you wish to request for the parent. Some parents wish to see this type of gadget. They have an opportunity to check out what's normal and find a glimpse of normal early childhood development while they're in the classroom. Some grandparents, for example, may favor individual conventions. Parents of preschoolers often have loads of question and worries. Following that, convey the specific advice you've collected about your child. Students spend most their time outside course.
There are tons of ways in which that you might find a bigger percentage of parents to share in parent teacher conferences. Polls inside the schedule will help enhance not only future occasions but the purpose that's currently being held. If you create your parent report be certain that you paint an image for all those parents showing that the kid 's entire assortment of development. An agenda can assist you regain attention in case the discussions slough off course, and allow you to gauge the length of time you anticipate spending at the assembly. It ought to have numerous viewing choices because of this, particularly if there are lots of distinct sessions to pick from. You ought to be sure to follow these folks and inquire whether there are some things which will should get added to this schedule. The parent educator conference schedule will pay for the objective of the assembly.
In the event you've ever attended or intended a board assembly, then you're aware that the schedule includes a lot more info than a very straightforward team meeting schedule. Read and if you never plan meetings regularly, then it's reasonable, especially if you enjoy doing this. When it's the seminar meeting will endure for a couple of minutes to quite a few hours, or require a bunch of couple people to several, you will find the basic contents that ought to make it is 's a victory. Individuals now organize convention meetings in order that they could be able to solve certain issues impacting them in a timely manner.
As a means to vote that a church member may need to make a movement to vote. Another church member will get to second the movement to show their arrangement to vote the item. Keep in mind a powerful conference schedule is equally as critical for organizers because it's for attendees. The easiest way in which any assembly organizer constantly has the decision to remain ready whatever the strain is by participating the best free seminar meeting schedule templates.
At any moment you've got a seminar you need to impress your supporters. A seminar is a massive occasion, whichA is why proper preparation is vital until its complete execution. It's a gathering of people which could possibly be connected by a particular feature like the area of work they perform, the analysis they are practicing, or specific causes they support. As an example, if you're hosting a social media convention, one special track you might want is movie promotion.
The information given from the article papers will be useful for everybody about speaking about options. You may encounter privileged advice whilst at the occurrence of this king. What's more, data that's generally held by various folks have a propensity to be more often discussed. A whole lot of research needs to be undertaken, and it may be performed in 3 components. Secondary research will have the ability to assist you know if the sections you've dreamed have only a few customers or that point 's really a suitable market (variety of customers that could buy in the long-run). The very first step into product plan development will be to determine the kinds of clients you want to function and their issues and requirements.
If you're making your conference, some consideration needs to be placed to this dilemma by instructors. Meetings could be of different kinds. A meeting might also be a political assembly. Additionally, it may be a spiritual meeting. It had been attended by tens of thousands, in reality, by huge numbers of individuals. A political assembly can similarly be a political assembly between distinct countries like the G-8 meetings.
If possible, teachers must find news articles regarding the topic and introduce them to pupils. Pupils may then make a demonstration of the nation for their course, so everybody starts to understand where every state is. The students should be working towards creating a paper. If they're of a top degree then it is possible to ask them to provide more in depth info regarding their nation. Keep in mind there will be a great deal of words to your pupils, and the significance need to be made apparent. The students eventually need to inspect in this matter and the manner it impacts their state. It should be stressed however that the pupils need to know and recall information in their state.
While designing an program an individual needs to be rather specific. Designing it helps the individuals to come ready for the assembly. Your schedule and the flow of your assembly may 't suddenly be bothered by mad ideas you're coming up with.
In groups there are a whole good deal of individuals involved with mathematical abilities concentrated on the specific outcome. Cases include the green and blue hats that permit the team to focus on a procedure for their assembly and utilizing creative approaches to create thoughts. Mentoring is the term used to refer to some relationship between an older and more seasoned person who's known as a mentor. Now, below are a few mindsets that it 's potential to practice giving in a regular basis. The people involved have to understand the best strategy to arrange for staff performance. The person who calls for a spiritual meeting is ordinarily an important individual of the particular faith.
If you're attempting to enhance your company do just two things. A number people will put in your company and also have their own schedule. In several cases, clients are affected by way of a bunch of employees. As opposed to pursuing your raise you'd rather focus on increasing the lowest priced paid worker.
Player will have taken the DiSC profile online ahead of the App. All members should also talk about the specific same goal so as to be prosperous. When members of groups basically don't delight in the matches don't believe on the match the team is enjoying, there'll be actual performance problems. For example, envision a hospital assembly where you have a set of doctors sitting in precisely the same table. Implementing the many colours of hats as a way to direct a meeting can provide the team with a heightened list of thoughts, assist them with problem solving, and boost choice making.
In the event the subject is big, pupils may be asked to make a demo about a specific part of it. Too particular a subject could cause a seminar that's over in a couple of hours. Another difficulty included in the draft resolution would be that the wording used in the start of every clause.
Folks are deeply influenced by the activities of the managers. The usage of the most significant direction is paramount in ensuring the initiative doesn't lose focus or becoming stranded as a consequence of inspirational or operational difficulties. Does this play a significant part in conveying the vision along with the concomitant aims, but moreover, it plays a very substantial role in setting goals and defining consequences to accomplish the shift. Pointing to some potential source of difficulty can allow the connection to center on the optimistic side of a problem to prevent or decrease trouble. Company communication is equally written along with oral. It's a permanent way of communicating and is a lot simpler comprehension then oral way of communication.

High In Ladakh, Rahul Yadav 'Had LSD' While Housing.com Drew Up 600 Pink Slips
By Jacob Koshy
MUMBAI, INDIA - AUGUST 5: (File photo) Rahul Yadav, CEO and co-founder of Housing.com, on August 5, 2014 in Mumbai, India. Housing.com is a Mumbai-based real estate search portal which allows customers to search for housing based on geography, number of rooms, and various other filters. The company has 6,000 brokers and serves 40 cities in India including Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Delhi. (Photo by S Kumar/Mint via Getty Images)
Even as Housing.com, the startup heralded as a tornado in India's fossilized real-estate sector, gets ready to lay off around 600 employees, its incorrigible former CEO, Rahul Yadav, appears to be on a high in Ladakh.
In Neroesque fashion, the former CEO publicly posted on Facebook that he'd "...just had LSD at the Pangong Tso Lake.." even as a fourth of the company's staff are set to be sacked, so that--as an unnamed executive told the Economic Times--the company could "tighten its cash burn." He also posted a picture of the lake.
While LSD generally refers to the psychedelic drug, Lysergic acid diethylamide--consumption and possession of which is illegal in India--we don't know if Yadav was admitting publicly to consuming the drug or in characteristic fashion trying to attract attention. He could easily explain away the post by coming up with an alternative expansion for LSD.
Rahul Yadav, variously described as erratic and brilliant, has frequently made fantastic claims on social media. Days after being fired by the management of Housing.com, he said he would, within '30 days' be back with a company that would be a hundred times more valuable than the last one.
His sacking preceded a string of high profile stunts on social media targetted at rivals, VCs and the media. While running Housing.com, he responded to reporters who enquired about a potential sale of his company by confirming to some and denying to others. He then emailed his colleagues asking them to watch the fun in the next day's papers.
Yadav's fun times came to an end and now after months of uncertainty about the well-funded company's future, it is becoming clear that many employees will pay the price for Yadav's stunts while on the saddle. As for him, he had previously posted on Facebook that he only had enough money to cover 45 days' expenses in his personal bank account.
Housing is currently managed by an executive committee led by Jonathan Bullock, who represents majority shareholder SoftBank on the board of Housing, Rishabh Gupta, interim CEO and chief operating officer, Housing's first angel investor Haresh Chawla and chief technical officer Abhishek Anand.
The three-year-old company has raised more than Rs 760 crore ($120 million) in funding and is valued at over Rs 1,500 crore. Founded in 2012 by a dozen college-mates from IIT-Mumbai, four of them, including Yadav, have now left the company.
Just had LSD at Pangong Tso Lake. Whoa!

Die Geschichte Koreas umfasst die Entwicklungen auf der Koreanischen Halbinsel von der Urgeschichte bis zur Gegenwart. Sie war bis ins 19. Jahrhundert eng mit der Geschichte Chinas verbunden. Von 1897 bis 1910 existierte ein Kaiserreich Korea. Danach wurde Korea eine japanische Kolonie.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg kam es unter den konkurrierenden Besatzungsmächten Sowjetunion und USA zur Teilung Koreas: Zunächst wurde am 15. August 1948 die Republik Korea gegründet (Südkorea) und als Reaktion darauf am 9. September 1948 die Demokratische Volksrepublik Korea (Nordkorea). Durch den Koreakrieg (1950–1953) wurde die Spaltung des Landes vertieft.

Prähistorisches Korea

Altsteinzeit

Die koreanische Halbinsel wurde vermutlich zum ersten Mal während des Altpaläolithikums besiedelt. Darauf deuten etwa 30 Fundorte aus der Altsteinzeit hin, die sich über die gesamte koreanische Halbinsel und über Teile von Nordostchina erstrecken. Ein großer Teil der Funde besteht aus Stein-, Horn- und Knochenwerkzeugen, wobei die geschliffenen Steinwerkzeuge deutlich dominieren.

Weitere Funde beinhalten steinerne Tierskulpturen oder in Stein gravierte Tiergestalten, die auf künstlerische oder magisch-religiöse Tätigkeiten hindeuten. Des Weiteren wurden Knochen von Homo erectus gefunden, darunter zwei vollständig erhaltene Kinderskelette. Mit Hilfe der Radiokarbon-Datierung konnten einige der Funde auf ein Alter von 400.000 bis 500.000 Jahre geschätzt werden.

Die frühen Bewohner der koreanischen Halbinsel lebten in Höhlen oder Hütten, die sie selbst erbauten und sich oft an sonnigen Plätzen in der Nähe von Wasserquellen befanden. Sie nutzten Feuer zum Heizen und Kochen und lebten von der Jagd, dem Fischfang sowie dem Sammeln von Obst, Beeren und genießbaren Wurzeln. Die heutigen Koreaner sind allerdings keine ethnischen Nachkommen dieser frühen Bewohner.

Mittel- und Jungsteinzeit
Archäologische Funde deuten darauf hin, dass die Halbinsel vor rund 18.000 bis 12.000 Jahren besiedelt war. Die Ur-Bevölkerung der Halbinsel bilden nach heutigen Erkenntnissen Nomadenstämme aus dem sibirisch-nordostasiatischen Raum im Norden der Koreanischen Halbinsel und proto-austronesische Völker im Süden der Koreanischen Halbinsel. Sogenannte Kammkeramiken mit Fischgrätenmuster wurden in allen Landesregionen gefunden. Die Kultur der Jeulmun-Periode von 6000 bis 1500 v. Chr. zeigt große Ähnlichkeit zur japanischen Kultur der gleichen Zeit, aber deutliche Unterschiede zu den Kulturen in Nordchina. Die Menschen der Jeulmun-Periode lebten vom Anbau von Hirse, Gerste und Sorghum.

Die Jeulmun-Kultur wurde zwischen 1500 v. Chr. und 700 v. Chr. durch Zuwanderer aus Richtung Norden (Mandschurei) beendet. Im Neolithikum und in der Bronzezeit bildeten sich ein relativ homogenes Volk und die Mumun-Kultur heraus. Es wurde kälteresistenter Trockenreis angebaut, etwa im 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. kam die Technik des Nassreisanbaues von China nach Korea.  Die Seidenherstellung, Spinnerei und Weberei sind für das 1. Jahrtausend v. Chr. nachzuweisen. Auffällig sind die vielen Megalithfunde in Korea, die 60 % der Megalithen der Welt darstellen, so dass Korea auch das "Königreich der Dolmen" genannt wird. In diesen Dolmen wurde Bronze- und Jadeschmuck gefunden. Eine Genstudie von Siska et al. (2017) zeigt, dass moderne Koreaner eine sehr starke Affinität zu den Knochenfunden im Devil's Gate in Russland, nahe Nordkorea zeigen, zusammen mit den Ultschen, den Oroqen, den Hezhen und teilweise auch den Japanern. Genetisch sind Koreaner am nächsten zu den erwähnten Ultschen, einer tungusischen Bevölkerungsgruppe. Es wird vermutet, dass es mehrere sich abwechselnde Wanderungswellen von zuerst Nord nach Süd und daraufhin von Süd nach Nord gegeben hat.

Die Einführung des Nassreisanbaus in Japan steht im Zusammenhang mit den Yayoi-Migrationen von Korea nach Japan. Diese Einwanderer verdrängten die einheimischen Jomon und machen den Großteil der Vorfahren von Japanern und Koreanern aus. Aus linguistischer Perspektive sollen diese Reisanbau betreibenden Yayoi Sprecher einer Urjapanischen Sprache gewesen sein, die vom 6. bis zum 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr. von Protokoreanern aus dem Norden unterworfen und assimiliert worden sind.

Go-Joseon
Die klassische Legende in Korea besagt, dass das erste Königreich, Go-Joseon, im Jahre 2333 v. Chr. vom Halbgott Dangun Wanggeom gegründet wurde. Im Kontrast dazu soll ein historisch belegtes (Go-)Joseon in den ersten Jahrhunderten vor Christus im Nordwesten Koreas und im südlichen Teil der Mandschurei gelegen haben.

Dessen Hauptstadt hieß Asadal, das Historiker in der Gegend um Pjöngjang vermuten. Anderseits kann es zugleich auch nur die Bezeichnung für den Hauptstadtssitz gewesen sein, der sich kontinuierlich änderte. Asadal, anders als die Hauptstadt von Wiman Go-Joseon Wanggeomseong, etymologisch aus dem Altkoreanischen und nicht von der Schriftsprache des Frühmittelchinesischen. Es setzt sich aus den zwei Bestandteilen *(s)asa Aufsteigende (Morgen-)Sonne (vergleiche das moderne 'acchim' und Mittelkoreanisch 'acchóm') und *tal was großes Feld bedeutet, zusammen.

In der Modernen Historiographie wird Go-Joseon oft mit dem Aufstieg des Bronzehandwerks in Nordostasiens in Verbindung gebracht. Wie ein Fund eines Bronzeschildes mit einer Darstellung derselben zeigt, gab es spätestens 300 v. Chr. in Korea sogenannte sottae, schamanistische Pfähle, auf deren Spitze drei Vögel sitzen und die auch heute noch viele Dörfer am ersten Vollmondtag des Jahres am Dorfeingang zieren. (Der Schild ist heute im Nationalmuseum von Seoul zu sehen). Die Vögel waren glückverheißende Überbringer von Getreidesamen.

Das Präfix Go- alt wird verwendet um den antiken Staat vom Joseon des 14. bis 19. Jahrhunderts zu unterscheiden. Der tatsächliche Name war Joseon (bzw. die altkoreanische Aussprache dessen).

Wiman-Joseon
Nachdem Wei Man (kor. Wiman), ein auf eigene Faust handelnder General aus dem nordchinesischen Staat von Yan, 194 v. Chr. nach Go-Joseon kam und dort kurz darauf die Macht an sich riss, wurde das Land, wie unter seinen Nachfolgern auch, Wiman-Joseon genannt. Es arrangierte sich eine Zeit lang mit dem China der Han-Dynastie, wurde aber schließlich von diesem erobert und unter der Kontrolle von vier Militärkommandanturen gestellt. Gegen Ende der Existenz spalteten sich einige Teilstaaten ab, so im Norden Goguryeo, in der Mandschurei Buyeo sowie im Nordosten Koreas Okjeo und Dongye, die nach und nach in Goguryeo aufgingen.

Es wird vermutet, dass der Daoismus die früheste Schule der orientalen Philosophie war, die Korea erreichte. Gija-Joseon aus dem 11. Jahrhundert v. Chr. ist dagegen historisch nicht nachweisbar und tauchte in Joseon erst im 16. Jahrhundert in neokonfuzianistischen Schriften auf. Es wird vermutet, dass die Gija-Legende erfunden wurde, um eine zuvor nicht existierende antike Präsenz des Konfuzianismus zu fabrizieren und so eine Vorrangstellung gegenüber dem tatsächlich älteren koreanischen Buddhismus zu schaffen.

Jinguk und die Proto-Drei-Reiche-Zeit

Jinguk
Wiman-Joseon beherrschte Teile des Nordwesten von Korea, im Süden gab es ein Reich Jin (辰), über das wenig bekannt ist, da es entweder keine Schrift kannte oder keine schriftlichen Zeugnisse überliefert wurden (unverwandt mit dem 金 der chinesischen Jin-Dynastien). Die Konföderation löste sich kurz nach dem Fall von Go-Joseon auf und bildeten zusammen mit Migranten aus Go-Joseon bildeten die Länder der Samhan Periode. Bevor sich die vielen Einzelstaaten zu Mahan, Jinhan und Byeonhan zusammenschlossen, soll es laut dem Dongyi (Östliche Barbaren) Kapitel des Sanguo zhi 70 Staaten auf der Koreanischen Halbinsel gegeben haben.

Die Vier Han-Kommandanturen
Die Han-Kommandanturen (Lelang, Zhenfan, Lintun, Xuantu und später das aus Zhenfan ausgegliederte Daifang) wurden in den Jahren nach der Eroberung Go-Joseons in dessen Einflussbereich durch Han Wudi gegründet. Im Norden der Koreanischen Halbinsel entstand der koreanische Nachfolgestaat Buyeo, der wesentlich zur Entwicklung von Goguryeo zu einem Königreich beitrug. Lelang kontrollierte das direkt von Wiman-Joseon verwaltete Gebiet, während Zhenfan und Lintun die Stelle zweier von Go-Joseon abhängiger Klientenstaaten einnahmen. Xuantu wurde auf dem Stammesgebiet der Yemaek aufgestellt. Daifang wurde an Stelle der 75 v. Chr. zerstörten Zhenfan Kommandantur errichtet

Die Han-Kommandanturen wurden von Gouverneuren regiert, die von der Zentralgewalt in China entsandt wurden. Die Gouverneure ernannten dann untergeordnete Bürokraten aus der einheimischen Bevölkerung.

Samhan
Aus Mahan und Jinhan gingen insbesondere zwei Staaten hervor, nämlich Saro/Seora/Seorabeol (Silla) und Soburi/Sabi (Baekje), die ihr Territorium nach und nach ausdehnten und schließlich Mahan bzw. Jinhan vereinigten. Byeonhan schloss sich zum Gaya Stadtstaatenbund zusammen. Silla soll 57 v. Chr. von Hyeokgeose in der Nähe des heutigen Gyeongju und Baekje von einem Emigranten aus Goguryeo im Han-Flusstal gegründet worden sein.

Sprachwissenschaftler gehen heute davon aus, dass die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung im Süden der Koreanischen Halbinsel eine Form von Proto-Japanisch sprachen und zwischen dem 10. und 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr. teilweise auf den Japanischen Archipel übersiedelten, und dessen Nachfahren die heutigen Japaner bilden. Die Sprache wird im Englischen Sprachgebrauch als "Peninsular Japonic" bezeichnet und wird als Japanisch-Ryukyu klassifiziert. Der Grund für die Yayoi-Migration ist unbekannt, eine Vermutung ist eine Verdrängung oder Assimilation durch Proto-Koreanische Reiternomaden aus Südsibirien.

Drei Reiche von Korea

In den ersten Jahrhunderten n. Chr. konnten sich schließlich die Königreiche Goguryeo, Baekje und Silla durchsetzen – die sogenannten Drei Reiche von Korea. Der Buddhismus wurde in dieser Zeit in ganz Korea eingeführt. Zunächst war Goguryeo im Norden das deutlich mächtigste Reich, es geriet aber immer mehr in Gegensatz zu China. 313 eroberte Goguryeo die chinesische Kommandantur Lelang, die etwa an der heutigen Grenze zwischen den beiden Koreas lag. Es war damit erstmals Nachbar von Baekje und Silla und es entstanden Konflikte mit den beiden kleineren Reichen, die sich viele Jahrhunderte hinzogen.
Japan und China waren als Verbündete gefragt.

Im Jahr 655 verbündete sich Silla mit der chinesischen Tang-Dynastie und besiegte zunächst 660 Baekje und im Jahre 668 auch Goguryeo. In beiden Fällen profitierte es von innenpolitischen Zerwürfnissen ihrer Gegner.

Vereinigtes Silla und Balhae

Nach dem Sieg über die anderen Teilreiche beherrschte Silla bis zum Ende des 9. Jahrhunderts die Halbinsel.
Die Kultur erreichte ihren Höhepunkt. Die Hauptstadt Seorabeol (dt. Hauptstadt), auch Gyerim (Hahnenforst) oder Geumseong (Goldstadt) lag an der Stelle des heutigen Gyeongju und war eine für ihren Reichtum und Luxus bekannte Millionenstadt. Seorabeol war Teil des Seidenstraßennetzes und war am kulturellen Austausch bis in die islamische Welt und die zentralasiatischen Steppen beteiligt. In arabischen geografischen Beschreibungen von Silla wird es als Inselstaat am östlichen Ende der Welt erwähnt.

Im äußersten Norden der Koreanischen Halbinsel und vor allem in der Mandschurei entwickelte sich das Königreich Balhae, das Teile der geflohenen Bevölkerung Goguryeos aufnahm.
Da Balhae etwa zeitgleich mit Silla unterging, wanderten von Norden her viele Koreaner auf die Koreanische Halbinsel ein.

Dynastien der Reichseinheit

Goryeo

Das neu entstandene Reich Goryeo (918–1392), das zunächst das heutige Zentralkorea beherrschte, annektierte das Silla-Reich und hatte von 936 bis 1392 Bestand mit der neuen Hauptstadt des vereinigten Koreas, Kaegyeong.

Im 10. und frühen 11. Jahrhundert war Goryeo in drei Kriege mit der para-mongolischen Kitan Liao Dynastie verwickelt aus welchen Goryeo siegreich hervorkam. Die darauffolgende Zeit des 11. und 12. Jahrhunderts gelten als die Blütezeit Goryeos. Das politische Gleichgewicht im 12. Jahrhundert wurde durch die Invasionsversuche der Jurchen Jin gegen Liao und Song gestört und endete somit das goldene Zeitalter Goryeos.

Die Halbinsel wurde in den Invasionen von 1231/32 und 1238 größtenteils von den Mongolen besetzt, dennoch leistete das damalige Militärregime (regiert von einem Militärdiktator anstelle eines machtlosen Herrschers) in den folgenden 30 Jahren und insgesamt 9 aufeinander folgenden Invasionen erbitterten Widerstand. Erst nach dem Sturz der Militärdiktatur ergab sich auch die zunächst geflohene Königsfamilie nach Jahren des Asyls auf der Insel Gangwha.
In den folgenden 150 Jahren war Korea ein tributpflichtiger Vasallenstaat und auch Protektorat der Mongolen. Die Goryeo Monarchie war daher auch bei den Versuchen, Japan zu annektieren, beteiligt und trug in Form von Schiffen und Seesoldaten dazu bei. Im Jahr 1356 brach Goryeo nach einem Überraschungsangriff auf die mongolischen Garnisonen am Fluss Amnok die diplomatischen Beziehungen zum Yuan-Reich ab und erlangte somit wieder seine vollständige Souveränität.

Joseon

Nachdem die Herrscherfamilie Goryeos im Jahr 1392 im Zuge innenpolitischer Krisen sowie eines Invasionsplans für die Halbinsel Liaodong entmachtet worden war, rief der General Yi Seong-gye das Königreich von Joseon aus. Joseon war in lokale militärische Konflikte verwickelt, wie z. B. in der Ōei Invasion auf Tsushima, um die Piratenaktivitäten an den Küsten Koreas zu unterbinden. In den frühen Jahren von Joseon wurden die nördlichen Grenzen bis zum Fluss Tumen erweitert, die bis heute die modernen Grenzen Koreas bilden.

1443 wurde während der Herrschaft von König Sejong die koreanische Schrift Hangul erfunden. Von 1592 bis 1598 fiel das von Hideyoshi geeinte Japan mit 210000 Soldaten in Korea ein. Der Krieg wurde in den Jahren 1592 bis 1595 und 1596 bis 1598 ausgetragen, aus dem Joseon als Sieger hervorging, was vor allem auf den Erfolg von General Yi Sun-sin zur See zurückzuführen war.

Etwa 50 Jahre später im Jahr 1637 wurde Korea nach der Zweiten Mandschurischen Invasion ein autonomer, tributpflichtiger Vasallen-Staat und Protektorat des Chinas der Qing-Dynastie. Dies blieb so bis zum 17. April 1895, als das Kaiserreich China im Rahmen des Streits um die Vorherrschaft auf der Koreanischen Halbinsel den Ersten Japanisch-Chinesischen Krieg gegen das Kaiserreich Japan verlor. Im Vertrag von Shimonoseki gestand China "volle und umfassende Souveränität und Autonomie Koreas" zu. 1897 wurde von König Gojong ein Großkoreanisches Kaiserreich ausgerufen, womit das Königreich Joseon offiziell endete.

Kaiserreich Korea

Nach dem Russisch-Japanischen Krieg (1904–1905) hatte sich Japan endgültig als dominante Kraft in Ostasien etabliert. Das Kaiserreich Korea wurde am 17. November 1905 zu einem Protektorat Japans. Am 22. August 1910 erzwang die japanische Regierung die Abdankung des koreanischen Kaisers, nachdem der für Japan bedeutende Fürst Itō Hirobumi am 26. Oktober 1909 von einem koreanischen Nationalisten ermordet worden war. Korea wurde in der Folge offiziell als Kolonie in das Japanische Kaiserreich eingegliedert.

Kolonialzeit

Durch den Japan-Korea-Annexionsvertrag von 1910 wurde Korea zu einer japanischen Kolonie namens Chōsen. Während dieser Zeit wurde Korea von Grund auf von den Japanern wirtschaftlich und gesellschaftlich modernisiert. Dieses ging aber gleichzeitig mit der Beschneidung von Rechten und der immer stärker werdenden Unterdrückung der dortigen Kultur und Sprache einher. So wurde als Beispiel die Infrastruktur modernisiert und ausgebaut, die aber teilweise auf dafür enteignetem Grund verlief.

Am 15. August 1945 kapitulierte das Japanische Kaiserreich. Die Soldaten der Kaiserlichen Japanischen Armee in der nördlichen Zone Chōsens (nördlich des 38. Breitengrads) mussten sich, wie von den Alliierten vereinbart, den Sowjets und in der südlichen Zone den US-Amerikanern ergeben.

Heutzutage betrachtet man sowohl in Nord- als auch in Südkorea den 15. August 1945 als Tag der Unabhängigkeit, obwohl Japan zumindest im Süden de facto bis zum 9. September 1945 die Verwaltungshoheit besaß.

Die Teilung in Nord- und Südkorea

Nachdem die Verhandlungen zwischen den beiden Supermächten über ein vereinigtes Korea bis 1947 ergebnislos verlaufen waren, brachten die USA die Koreafrage vor die Vereinten Nationen. Am 14. November 1947 erreichten die USA eine UN-Resolution, die freie Wahlen, den Abzug aller ausländischen Truppen und die Schaffung einer UN-Kommission (UNTCOK: UN Temporary Commission on Korea) für Korea vorsah. Die USA zogen die Truppen, die im Süden Koreas stationiert waren, zurück, so wie auch die UdSSR ihre Armee bis Ende 1948 vertragsgemäß aus Nordkorea abzog.

Am 10. Mai 1948 fanden im Süden Wahlen statt, die Rhee Syng-man gewann. Allerdings wurden die Wahlen von den linken Parteien boykottiert. Am 13. August 1948 übernahm Rhee Syng-man offiziell die Regierungsgeschäfte von der US-amerikanischen Militärregierung. Der sowjetisch kontrollierte Norden beantwortete dies mit der Gründung der Demokratischen Volksrepublik Korea am 9. September 1948, deren erster Präsident Kim Il-sung wurde. Beide Regierungen sahen sich als rechtmäßige Regierung über ganz Korea an und erklärten darüber hinaus, diesen Anspruch auch militärisch durchsetzen zu wollen. Ermutigt durch eine Äußerung des US-Außenministers Dean Acheson, die dahingehend interpretiert werden konnte, dass die USA nicht um Korea kämpfen würden, griff Nordkorea den Süden am 25. Juni 1950 an. So kam es zum Koreakrieg.

Situation heute

Die Teilung der Koreanischen Halbinsel und der Korea-Konflikt halten bis heute an. Es kam zwar immer wieder zu Annäherungen zwischen den beiden Staaten, doch eine koreanische Wiedervereinigung ist derzeit nicht in Sicht. Aufgrund seines Kernwaffenprogramms wurde Nordkorea mehrfach durch die internationale Staatengemeinschaft sanktioniert. Während sich Südkorea inzwischen zu einer wirtschaftlich starken Industrienation entwickelt hat, hat sich Nordkorea selbst immer weiter in die Isolation getrieben und ist derzeit auf ausländische Hilfsgelder angewiesen.

ISIS terrorists had planned Sulwadi Temple-like incident in Mumbai
Mumbai: The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS), who recently arrested 10 ISIS suspects, have reportedly discovered that the terrorists were planning to poison the 'Mahaprasada' at the 400-year-old 'Shree Mumbreshwar Mandir Trust' in Thane's Mumbra like the poisoning incident that occurred at Kichuguth Sulwadi Maramma Temple at Hanur in Chamarajanagar district.
Over 17 persons died and more than 100 were hospitalised after the devotees were served poison-laced prasadam at the Maramma Temple.
The Mumbai Anti-Terrorist Squad visited the Mumbreshwar Mandir on Jan. 28, along with one ISIS suspect, identified as Tala Potrik, in order to gather information about their supposed plan. The suspect reportedly first led the ATS team to the kitchen where he revealed that they had gathered information about the catering staff, who were present on the day when a Shrimadh Bhagwat Katha was organised last year. Following the Katha, the trust had also organised a 'Bhandara' which was attended by thousands of devotees who consumed the 'Shiv Prasad' distributed at the venue.
As per reports, Potrik confessed that he had attempted to poison the Prasad on that day but was unable to do so. Following his unsuccessful attempt, the suspect had decided to execute his plan again on March 4 this year, on the day of Maha Shivaratri, when thousands of people are expected to attend the function at the temple and possibly consume the 'Mahaprasada'

Q: How to pass detected faces from a function to a separate push button slot in Qt I am using Qt for creating front-end,I have a method called 'facedetect',in that i detect all the faces.Now i need to pass those detected faces to another function,in that it compares detected faces with all the faces in the database.But the actual problem is ,I am comparing faces when i click a pushbutton 'compare'(It is in different slot). I need to access the detected faces in to the 'compare' pushbutton slots.
Here is my code:
void third::facedetect(IplImage* image) //face detection
{
int j=0,l=0,strsize,count=0;
char numstr[50];
CvPoint ul,lr,w,h;
string path;
IplImage* image1;IplImage* tmpsize;IplImage* reimg;
CvHaarClassifierCascade* cascade=(CvHaarClassifierCascade*) cvLoad(cascade_name);
CvMemStorage* storage=cvCreateMemStorage(0);

if(!cascade)
{
    qDebug()<<"Coulid not load classifier cascade";

}
if(cascade)
{
    CvSeq* faces=cvHaarDetectObjects(image,cascade,storage,1.1,1,CV_HAAR_DO_CANNY_PRUNING,cvSize(10,10));

    for(int i=0;i<(faces ? faces->total : 0);i++)
    {
        string s1="im",re,rename,ex=".jpeg";
        sprintf(numstr, "%d", k);
        re = s1 + numstr;
        rename=re+ex;
        char *extract1=new char[rename.size()+1];
        extract1[rename.size()]=0;
        memcpy(extract1,rename.c_str(),rename.size());
        strsize=rename.size();
        CvRect *r=(CvRect*) cvGetSeqElem(faces,i);
        ul.x=r->x;
        ul.y=r->y;
        w.x=r->width;
        h.y=r->height;
        lr.x=(r->x + r->width);
        lr.y=(r->y + r->height);
        cvSetImageROI(image,cvRect(ul.x,ul.y,w.x,h.y));
        image1=cvCreateImage(cvGetSize(image),image->depth,image->nChannels);
        cvCopy(image, image1, NULL);
        reimg=resizeImage(image1, 40, 40, true);
        saveImage(reimg,extract1);
        img_1=cvarrToMat(reimg);//this img_1 contains the detected faces.
        cvResetImageROI(image);
        cvRectangle(image,ul,lr,CV_RGB(1,255,0),3,8,0);
        j++,count++,k++;

    }

}

qDebug()<<"Number of images:"<<count<<endl;
cvNamedWindow("output");//creating a window.
cvShowImage("output",image);//showing resized image.
cvWaitKey(0);//wait for user response.
cvReleaseImage(&image);//releasing the memory.
cvDestroyWindow("output");//destroying the window.
}

**And this the push button 'compare' slot**
void third::on_pushButton_5_clicked()
{

}

If I could access those detected faces from  'void third::on_pushButton_5_clicked()'    then only I can use it in the push button slot'compare'. Please help me to fix this..

A: It sounds like a declaration problem... that the image showing the detected face is not declared under the "public", or maybe "global" variable. If so, its simple.
In your header file, third.h,
class third : public third
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit third(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~third();
//declare your image holding the detected face here, which see from your .cpp file is img_1

Following which, for your  void third::on_pushButton_5_clicked(),
void third::on_pushButton_5_clicked()
{
         cvNamedWindow("img_1");//creating a window.
         cvShowImage("img_1",img_1);//showing resized image.
         cvWaitKey(0);//wait for user response.
         cvReleaseImage(&img_1);//releasing the memory.
         cvDestroyWindow("img_1");//destroying the window.
}

The code may have complilation error, as I am typing this directly into stackOverflow.
Do let me know if that solves the problem, if so, do considering clicking the tick button under the arrows and upvoting it. If it doesn't work, comment, and I will see how else I can help. Cheers!
