...do. In my situation, I took offense to the order in which I was given and allowed my emotions to overrule my military bearing. Obedience allows the military to operate efficiently and effectively which is extremely important to accomplish the mission in both relaxed and challenging environments. Military orders provide soldiers with direction to allow them to better perform their duties and limit mistakes. Failure to follow orders is a Violation of Article 92 (failure to obey order or regulation) of the UCMJ. As a result of such violation you can be subject to several punishments, the most severe being separation from the military with a dishonorable discharge. Since my poor decision, I have had time to step back and reflect on why I did what I did. I know it is nothing to be proud of, but I am a firm believer that everyone makes mistakes, the important thing is that you can admit wrong and learn from your mistakes to ensure you don’t make the same mistakes again. The lesson that I learned was simple, it’s not always about who is right and who is wrong, but handling yourself with honor in all situations. There is nothing wrong with following an order you may not agree with as long as it’s a lawful order that doesn’t violate your constitutional rights. At the same time, this doesn’t mean that you can’t respectfully...

...and never stop to think where these items were invented. So what are some of the amazing things the Ancient Chinese have invented? Well to answer this question and to explain all of the different inventions that the Chinese have brought to us would really be a mouthful. So I will explain the top ten in my list. And they are the following: • Row Planting • The Compass • Gunpowder • Paper • Seismograph • The Wheelbarrow • Kites • Silk • Seed Drill • Hang Gliders Thank You Ancient Chinese Now allow me explain these marvels. Row planting was first planted in 6th century BC. This way of planting allows the crops to grow faster and stronger and they also realized that as the wind travels there is less damage in crops planted in rows due to the wind passing through gently. It is also more efficient in watering, weeding and harvesting the crops. The compass was created in 4th century BC and was made of lodestone. The compass was first used by fortune-tellers before it was applied to the cardinal direction. Then the Chinese’s started using the compass to point to the south because they considered south not north their cardinal direction. Gunpowder has been credited to certain Chinese alchemists around 9th century but the legend has it as gunpowder being accidently discovered by alchemists looking for a concoction that could create immortality in humans. Paper was invented in AD...

...at the end of the game to make sure the ball wasn’t stolen. The next day the coach came to the players saying that one dedicated fan offered the team a billion dollars for the ball. The team then knew that they had to find the ball. One teammate suggested to hire a detective but then another came up with the idea to hire a mathematician instead. When the mathematician arrived the first thing he asked was, “In which direction was the ball thrown?” The player that threw the ball then answered, “The ball was thrown west.” So then they went to the west part of the stadium and the mathematician told everyone to split up into two groups, one goes left and one goes right. He brought everyone to the west side of the stadium because he knew that the ball translated to that area. He also knew that the ball could have bounced left or right. The team searching the right side of where the ball would have been translated to found a note saying, “I found your ball but, I won’t let you have it so easy. Go to the centerpoint of the stadium then search for another set of directions.” The mathematician then drew a map of the stadium then found the centerpoint. When they all arrived to the centerpoint they found another note saying to go to the vertex of the inscribed angle that can be created from the two main pillars in the front of the stadium. Since the mathematician knew that a inscribed angle’s vertex could be found by finding where the two chords intersect he lead the way to the final destination...

...Lesson Plans Creating a lesson plan for a group of Kindergarten students can be very difficult. The activities you choose need to be fun, educational, and engaging as most 5 year olds tend to lose focus easily. Most children love music and dancing, so for this lesson plan I have chosen a dance titled Father Abraham. As you may have noticed I will be developing this lesson for a class of kindergarten student’s. At this stage of development children should be able to make conscious decisions regarding music, art, dance and theater, and respond to them with some form of emotion. They should also be able to notice different sounds, pictures, and movements, as well as notice their similarities. They may even be able to create their own music and dance moves. Lastly they should have fairly good body control, and can work independently (NAEYC, 2004). This class has a total of 10 students and here is a look at the lesson plan: Grade Level: Kindergarten Class Size: 10 Students Student Learning Objective: As result of this lesson, students will . . . • Distinguish left and right • Follow commands on which arm, leg or head to move • March in place • Stay within their personal space State Standard: The North Carolina State Standards we will cover in this activity are, apply competent motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities, understand concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics that apply to the learning and performance...

...I.D.B.I. SPECIALIST OFFICER EXAM 07 English Language Directions (1-10) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions. Though the last twenty five years have seen China double the world with its excellent economic performance, it has shied away from playing the kind of active role in international affairs that would seem commensurate with its economic weight This is because traditionally China's politics have been defined by the need for economic development above all else. In the past, China's authorities have tended to down play the country's international clout, choosing to stress instead its developing country status and limited military capabilities. Such modest rhetoric was intended to allay the fears that China's rise was causing across its immediate neighbourhood. That Beijing is finally acknowledging it’s; status as a major player in the international system is evidenced by the fact that the President has formally developed a theory of international relations; the concept of harmonious world. The concept, encompassing broad notions of multilateralism, prosperity for all through common development and tolerance for diversity has left world opinion perplexed. There are commendable objectives but theory is short on specifics regarding the means to achieve them. China's recent willingness to be a more active player internationally stems from...
