Military Officers Face a New Evaluation
Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is leading important changes following recent scandals involving high-ranking officers. This is part of training and development programs for generals and admirals. They will include new courses to train the security detail, executive staffs and even the spouses of senior officers.
Saying he was disturbed about the misconduct issues, General Dempsey said that evaluations of top officers needed to go beyond the traditional assessment of professional performance by superior officers alone. He said that he had decided the changes were necessary “to assess both competence and character in a richer way”.
“You can have someone of incredible character who can’t lead their way out of a forward operating base because they don’t have the competence to understand the application of military power, and that doesn’t do me any good”, General Dempsey said. “Conversely, you can have someone who is intensely competent in the skills of the profession, but doesn’t live a life of character. And that doesn’t do me any good.”
General Dempsey said that regular professional reviews would be transformed from top-down assessments to the kind of “360-degree performance evaluation”, which includes feedback from subordinates, peers and superiors. For the new training programs, he said that while it may be impossible to prevent infractions, “most officers need to be reminded of the rules and regulations on a routine basis”.
Teams of inspectors will observe and review the procedures of commanders and their staffs. The inspections will not be punitive, but will provide a “periodic opportunity for general officers to understand whether, from an institutional perspective, we think they are inside or outside the white lines”, he said. In addition, new programs will be instituted to ensure that a commander’s staff, and a spouse, are fully aware of military regulations.
“In my 39 years in the military, I have learned that you are not a profession just because you say you are. You have to earn it and re-earn it and re-evaluate it from time to time”, General Dempsey said.

We’re so well educated – but we’re useless
Record numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite
being the most educated generation in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant
when it comes to basic life skills.
Looking back on my first weeks living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive.
I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and numerous cases of food-poisoning,
probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing
experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic skills I missed out in my
modern education.
Educationist Sir Ken Robinson says that our current education system dislocates people from
their natural talents and deprives us of what used to be passed from generation to generation – a
working knowledge of basic life skills. Today’s graduates may have earned themselves distinctions
in history, law or economics, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all
their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on-trend clothes, they have to call for help from a
professional handyman or tailor.
Besides what we need to know for our own jobs, we must have practical skills. We don’t grow
our own crops, build our own houses, or make our own clothes anymore; we simply buy these
things. Unable to create anything ourselves, what we have mastered instead is consumption.
Sociologist Saskia Sassen argues that the modern liberal state has created a middle class
that isn’t able to “make” anymore. I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of
some of the most vital aspects of “domestic science” education. Instead of only maths, language
and history, we should create an interactive learning environment in schools where craftsmanship
and problem-solving are valued as highly as the ability to absorb and regurgitate information. We
need to develop children into people that not only think for themselves, but are also able to act for
themselves.

Children experience basic training and mock deployment
The 460th Force Support Squadron (FSS) hosted the 6th Annual Operation Future Forces
(OFF) Sept. 13, 2014, at Camp Rattlesnake. OFF allows children ages 8-18 to experience what
military members endure from basic training to technical school to a mock deployment, ending
with a homecoming party.
“The youth mock deployment was developed to alleviate many of the stresses commonly
experienced by young family members when one or both parents are deployed,” said Thomas
Cox, 460th FSS youth program chief. “Everything from basic training, tech schools, camp activities
and accomplishing their mission as a team made the event a one of a kind opportunity for military
kids.”
A few of the boys had their heads shaved before heading off to “Basic Military Training.” The
training consisted of doing push-ups and sit-ups, jumping through hula-hoops and running through
an inflatable castle. They were also taught how to stand at attention, salute and do an about-face.
After basic training, each child attended “technical school” and was taught a specific Air
Force Specialty Code to help them in their mock deployment. Some children were taught lifesaving
self-aid and buddy care skills while others learned about the importance of radio communications
while on a deployment.
The tech-school graduates were then issued water pistols before heading out. During their
deployment, the children encountered hostile and non-hostile citizens, a water-balloon fight and
injured allies who needed help along the way.
At the end of a long day, loved ones waited outside the youth center on base with homemade
signs welcoming the “troops” back home.
“This event was great,” said Senior Airman Jasmine Madison, 460th FSS Force Support Force
Management technician. “It’s a way for kids to get a hands-on understanding of what their parents
do when they are separated from them during deployments.”

Frequently Asked Questions – Instagram
What is Instagram?
It's an application for your mobile phone that enables you to edit pictures you have taken with your
mobile phone camera using built-in filters and share them with others. If you have an Instagram account
you can tag pictures, rate and comment on other people's pictures and follow other users.
How much is your app?
$0.00.
Where does the name come from?
When we were kids we loved playing around with cameras. We loved how different types of old
cameras marketed themselves as “instant" - something we take for granted today. We also felt that the
snapshots people were taking were like telegrams in that they got sent over the wire to others - so we
figured why not combine the two?
How did the idea come about?
We love taking photos. We always assumed taking interesting photos required a big bulky camera and
a couple years of art school. But as mobile phone cameras got better and better, we decided to challenge
that assumption. We created Instagram to solve three simple problems:
- Mobile photos always come out looking mediocre. Our awesome looking filters transform your
photos into professional-looking snapshots.
- Sharing on multiple platforms is a pain - we help you take a picture once, then share it (instantly)
on multiple services.
- Most uploading experiences are clumsy and take forever - we've optimized the experience to be
fast and efficient.
How does privacy work?
We have adopted a follower model that means if you're “public" on Instagram, anyone can subscribe
to follow your photos. We do, however, have a special private option. In this mode, a user can make sure
he/she must approve all follow requests before they go through.
Who can see my photos?
All photos are public by default which means they are visible to anyone who has an account. If you
choose to make your account private, then only people who follow you on Instagram will be able to see
your photos.

very sensitive in this country. We can’t afford to take risks. I am telling you once again – you will
do nothing. And if there is any trouble, I’m afraid I shall have to hold you personally responsible.
So be sensible for once in your life.”
“I see. So you are telling me to close my eyes to corruption and behave as if nothing has
happened. Is that right?”
“I didn’t put it quite like that. But, if you insist, yes. What Vish does or doesn’t do is a minor
matter compared with the company’s global strategy. Just try to get things in perspective. After
all, you won’t be stuck in Madras for ever – I’ll make sure that you are not. So just go with the flow
for a bit longer. When you’re in your next post this will all seem a very long way away, I can assure
you. But meantime, no trouble. I hope I’ve made myself clear. Oh, and, by the way, I advise you
to forget that we have had this conversation. Goodbye.”
Dick Sterling put the phone down. His hands were trembling. He was furious with himself for
failing to persuade his boss in Delhi, Keith Lennox, to support him, and was disgusted at the mixture
of veiled threats and vague promises Lennox had made.

What is a pub? The word pub is short for public house. Pubs are popular social meeting places.
They are an important part of British life. People talk, eat, drink, meet their friends and relax there.
Many have a garden where people can sit in the summer. One of the oldest pubs, Fighting Cocks in
St. Albans, Herts, is located in a building that dates back to the eleventh century. Groups of friends
normally buy 'rounds' of drinks, where the person whose turn it is will buy drinks for all the members
of the group. In most pubs in Britain, you must go to the bar to order drinks and food and pay for
your purchase immediately, there is no table service. Bartenders do not expect frequent tipping.
To tip them, it is customary to say: “Would you like a drink yourself?"

“Hello", said a quiet, musical voice.
I looked up, stunned that he was speaking to me. He was sitting as far away from me as the desk allowed, but his chair was angled toward me. His hair was dripping wet – he looked like someone in a commercial for hair gel. His dazzling face was friendly, open, a slight smile on his flawless lips. But his eyes were careful.
“My name is Edward Cullen," he continued. “I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last week. You must be Bella Swan."
My mind was spinning with confusion. He was perfectly polite now. I had to speak; he was waiting. But I couldn't think of anything conventional to say.
“H-how do you know my name?" I stammered.
He laughed a soft laugh.
“Oh, I think everyone knows your name. The whole town was waiting for you to arrive."
