Download or read book Strengthening the Four Pillars written by Ltc James D Nicholson Ret and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So, exactly what is "intelligence architecture?" Take a look at the unit or organization's TO (Table of Organization) line-and-block-chart. Think "blueprint," think "schematic," think of a machine with many moving parts and functions. Think of those "parts" as being "humans." Those blocks on the chart are much more than one-dimensional names and titles. They are living, moving, and working parts of an intelligence production machine. Each part has a purpose and interacts with other essential parts in a special and important way. Just one part that is not fully functioning or missing altogether, will degrade the machine's overall efficiency. Sound architecture strengthens the pillars which support the entire intelligence edifice; Data, Analysis, Products and Customers. Those lines connecting the blocks are more than lines, they are pipelines through which flow data. The architecture described in this book will not entail much delving into "systems compatibility," "computer connectivity," "knowledge platforms" or other IT and cyber issues. It will be describing people and the Intel work they are assigned to do. September 11, 2001 changed everyone's life in the United States to various degrees and also in many other parts of the world. Fundamental understanding about intelligence became mainstream. Suddenly, intelligence awareness and knowledge has been subtly insinuated into nearly everyone's mindset and daily routine. Like it or not, nearly everyone is now in the intelligence business. This book will: - Describe how - in Perfect World - critical players in an Intel shop are supposed to do business, which include, but not limited to, the commander, the senior intelligence officer, the collection, management & dissemination officer, analyst, OPSEC officer, OSINT specialist and field collector and those positions mirrored in a law enforcement Intel shop - Detail the best utilization of some of the important tools each of these aforementioned key players have in their Intel tool boxes - Show how the various critical positions in an Intel shop are designed to interact with one another to turn out timely, actionable intelligence products - Give examples of what happens when there is a malfunction (or absence) of a critical component of the unit's intelligence architecture - Take off the side panels of this Secret Sausage-Making Machine for a better understanding of how Intel architecture is supposed to work and how hands-on adjustments and continuous maintenance can make it work better Nor does it change with time or technology. Some 3,300-years-ago, as recorded in the Bible's Book of Numbers, Chapter 13, verses 1-27, Moses sent out a dozen spies to explore and come back with a report on the land of Canaan. "Go through the Negev and then into the mountain region. See what the land is like and whether the people living there are strong or weak, few or many. Is the land they live in good or bad? Do their cities have walls around them or not? Is the soil rich or poor? Does the land have trees or not? Do your best to bring back some fruit from the land. (It was the season when grapes were beginning to ripen.)" The four pillars which support the intelligence architecture edifice; Data, Analysis, Products and Customers, will be no different 200 years from now when a United States recon and surveillance team heads out from its fortified city and travels to the far side of the planet Mars to collect on China's fortified city.

Book excerpt: A much-needed program to prevent and reverse disease, and discover a path to sustainable, long-term health from an acclaimed international doctor and star of the BBC program Doctor in the House. How to Make Disease Disappear is Dr. Rangan Chatterjee’s revolutionary, yet simple guide to better health—a much-needed, accessible plan that will help you take back control of your health and your life. A physician dedicated to finding the root cause of ill health rather than simply suppressing symptoms with drugs, Dr. Chatterjee passionately advocates and follows a philosophy that lifestyle and nutrition are first-line medicine and the cornerstone of good health.

By making small, incremental changes in each of these key areas, you can create and maintain good health—and alleviate and prevent illness. As Dr. Chatterjee, reveals we can reverse and make disease disappear without a complete overhaul of our lifestyle. His dynamic, user-friendly approach is not about excelling at any one pillar. What matters is balance in every area of your life, which includes: Me-time every day An electronic-free Sabbath once a week Retraining your taste buds Daily micro-fasts Movement snacking A bedtime routine Practical and life-changing, How to Make Disease Disappear is an inspiring and easy-to-follow guide to better health and happiness.

Download or read book India and the Knowledge Economy written by Carl J. Dahlman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the global knowledge economy of the twenty-first century, India's development policy challenges will require it to use knowledge more effectively to raise the productivity of agriculture, industry, and services and reduce poverty. India has made tremendous strides in its economic and social development in the past two decades. Its impressive growth in recent years-8.2 percent in 2003-can be attributed to the far-reaching reforms embarked on in 1991 and to opening the economy to global competition. In addition, India can count on a number of strengths as it strives to transform itself into a knowledge-based economy-availability of skilled human capital, a democratic system, widespread use of English, macroeconomic stability, a dynamic private sector, institutions of a free market economy; a local market that is one of the largest in the world; a well-developed financial sector; and a broad and diversified science and technology infrastructure, and global niches in IT. But India can do more-much more-to leverage its strengths and grasp today's opportunities. India and the Knowledge Economy assesses India's progress in becoming a knowledge economy and suggests actions to strengthen the economic and institutional regime, develop educated and skilled workers, create an efficient innovation system, and build a dynamic information infrastructure. It highlights that to get the greatest benefits from the knowledge revolution, India will need to press on with the economic reform agenda that it put into motion a decade ago and continue to implement the various policy and institutional changes needed to accelerate growth. In so doing, it will be able to improve its international competitivenessand join the ranks of countries that are making a successful transition to the knowledge economy."

Download or read book Gender and the Open Method of Coordination written by Samantha Velluti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing contributions by some of the best known researchers in the field, this volume considers the intersection between the Open Method of Coordination (OMC), a relatively new mode of policy-making, and gender equality, a long-standing area of EU policy. It draws on a range of disciplinary perspectives to examine the effectiveness of the OMC as a medium for the advancement of gender equality within the EU. It also considers gender in the OMC in a variety of contexts and at both a general EU and Member State level. Central to the discussion is the concept of gender mainstreaming which proposes that a gender equality perspective should be incorporated at every level and opportunity of EU policy and practice. The authors assess how successful this has been in the context of the OMC. The book provides a unique and contemporary body of work on the OMC which adds significantly to existing understandings of this form of governance and informs critical debate of EU social governance.
