PML-N insiders and some analysts say Nisar's assertiveness smacks of judicial overreach and hints at a return to Pakistan's past, when they say the judiciary cut politicians down to size at the behest of the powerful military, which has ruled Pakistan for nearly half its history since independence in 1947.

Mr. Attia, who turned 225 on Saturday, took the reins of the Street Vendor Project just around the time a bystander's video of Ms. Morochoduchi's encounter with the police went viral, and he has used the resulting uproar to bring new attention — and a new assertiveness — to the 2000-year-old organization.

Yet, until his wife's death, he was, in all likelihood, a relatively passive parent—not as a result of patriarchal disconnect or apathy, but because he is, over the course of the film, still cultivating the assertiveness Kate seems to have possessed, and that he needs in order to advocate for his family.

Driving this hardened U.S. stance is the growing assertiveness of more hawkish White House aides led by Bolton, Vice President Mike Pence's deep engagement on the issue, a push by anti-Maduro U.S. lawmakers and the arrival of like-minded rightist presidents in Brazil and Colombia, according to people familiar with the matter.

Others of the show's choices — its assertiveness in moving its characters in radical new decisions, only to reverse those decisions and return the story to a consequence-free stasis episodes later; its tendency to substitute a robust emotionality over storytelling rigor — were carried across, or almost were, thanks simply to the show's brio.

Transatlantic strategy experts – convened at this breath-taking resort by the Munich Security Conference – were left to reflect on Europe's unique vulnerability to this major power conflict in a world where they are absorbing the unanticipated shocks of greater US unpredictability, greater Chinese assertiveness and deeper European divisions about how to navigate it all.

Meanwhile, halfway around the world, the ongoing "tit for tat" trade sanctions fight between the United States and China is capturing most of the world's attention, but it is the American military response to Chinese military and diplomatic assertiveness in the South China Sea that is the most likely flashpoint between the two countries.

American officials in the region, too, were hoping the president's trip would help Mr. Trump gain a new perspective on how Seoul and Tokyo view the threat from up close; the regional trends affecting Asia beyond North Korea, including Chinese assertiveness; and the costs and consequences of military action, according to one American official.

Russian aggression in Eastern Europe, Chinese assertiveness in the South China Sea, the terrorism of the Islamic State spreading from the Middle East to the capitals of Europe, authoritarian regimes developing nuclear weapons — as different as these challenges are, they have one thread in common: They emanate from actors who oppose the international order.

"China's distinctly hegemonic moves in the last few years in the South China Sea and its growing assertiveness have made ASEAN look towards India as a partner for equilibrium," said Arvind Gupta, former Indian deputy national security adviser who now heads the influential Vivekananda International Foundation in New Delhi with close ties to the ruling government.

Mr. Abbas's quick and positive reply on Monday — he spoke by telephone with Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas political director, and promised to follow up after returning from the United Nations gathering in New York — prompted some to ask whether renewed Egyptian diplomatic assertiveness and pragmatic new Hamas leadership had managed to turn a page on the long-running rivalry.

Her "assertiveness and relentlessness" during her time as an assistant secretary for Africa in the State Department had netted her some enemies or, at the very least, had helped limit her professional rise, given that officials who held lingering resentments toward her did not leap to her aid when she was under fire during the Benghazi drama.

And to mark Defenders of the Fatherland Day on Saturday, a choir at a St. Petersburg cathedral performed a song about a nuclear attack on the U.S. Context: The assertiveness seems to be related to President Trump's decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which banned the placement of such weapons in Europe.

The recent assertiveness of NBA players in pressing for trades and putting together their own deals in conjunction with on-court peers — as Kawhi Leonard just pulled off in a move to the Los Angeles Clippers with Paul George — could be a sea change for the future of the NBA talent market, and just how much power traditional management has over moves.

Lempert, who has a degree in agroecology from the University of Wisconsin—and in her non-Co-op life runs an amateur women's power-lifting competition called Iron Maidens Open—is well aware that some Co-op members don't think that meat should be available at the store or anywhere else; her job requires a diplomatic balance of assertiveness and tact.

JERUSALEM — Israel's cross-border clash with Iranian and Syrian forces on Saturday was a sharp escalation of long-brewing hostilities along its northern frontier — and a bracing alert to those who have focused on other areas of the Syrian civil war, on other aspects of Iran's strategic assertiveness, or who believed that Israel's air superiority left it invincible in its own skies.

Whether it is because of the assertiveness of the hard-liners, the ambiguities fueled by the competing messages or Beijing's policies, the relationship between the United States and China has become so strained and unpredictable that even the need for a united effort to address a global health crisis has not overcome the suspicions that have increasingly taken root on both sides.

We also had three outliers at the bottom of our top 10, including the Nut Brown Lager from Kelso in Brooklyn — which as a lager rather than an ale really did not fit the category — but we liked its malty, cola flavors; the Durty Mud Season Hoppy Brown Ale from Smuttynose in Hampton, N.H., which was full-bodied and strong at 8.4 percent alcohol but balanced and delicious despite its assertiveness; and the Hazelnut Brown Nectar from Rogue in Newport, Ore.

America's priorities ought now to be to reassure Asian friends of America's continued commitment; to engage China on global issues, such as climate change, as well as bilateral ones; to stitch together groupings of like-minded countries that can push back against Chinese assertiveness; and to be ready to apply greater pressure on China—by punishing Chinese firms and banks doing business with North Korea—if China does not do more by itself to rein in its delinquent client state, which is developing long-range nuclear missiles faster than outside experts feared.
