First batch of command course for women officers to begin this month

“The course duration will be of six weeks and 97 out of 108 empanelled officers have been detailed for the course,” a source said.

NEW DELHI:  The Army has taken another step to equip its women officers to take over the command duties, as the first batch of women officers for the senior command course will report at the Army War College at the end of March. 

Sources confirmed that the Senior Level Tactical Orientation Course equivalent to Senior Command Course will begin from March 23 at Mhow, Indore. “The course duration will be of six weeks and 97 out of 108 empanelled officers have been detailed for the course,” a source said.

Those attending the course are the ones medically cleared and it is a specially tailored course thus will be of a shortened duration. The normal Senior Command Course is of 10 weeks duration. This course is done by all officers who are likely to be promoted to the rank of Colonel for taking over responsibilities as the Commanding Officer of an army unit (battalion or regiment of his arm or service). The course prepares them for their unit command functions.

The command of a unit is an important and decisive stage of training because performance at this stage is the most important criteria for selecting officers for promotion thereafter as senior leaders of the Army. A Special Number 3 Selection Board for Women officers for promotion from Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel was conducted with effect from January 9 to January 21 this year. A total of 244 Women Officers were considered by the Special Number 3 Selection Board and a total of 108 Women Officers have been empanelled.

Officers for the rank of Colonel and above are selected by a board of officers. An officer ranked as Colonel will command independent functional units of the Indian Army. Beyond this come the formations, and collections of such Units, like Brigades, Divisions and Corps commanded by the Brigadiers, Major Generals and Lieutenant Generals, respectively. The task on the ground is executed by the units. In the normal course of service selection for command is done at around 17 years of service.

A trusted educational leader embraces its digital future with Salesforce.

Online products let us be more intimate with customers. We communicate more frequently and respond to them better.”

When Encyclopedia Britannica president Jorge Cauz announced in 2012 that his company would stop printing books, the world took notice. After 244 years, the iconic reference publisher was going all-digital. While the news came as a shock to many outsiders, insiders weren’t at all surprised. “It was just the final phase of a carefully planned strategic transition that had been 35 years in the making,” Cauz wrote in the March 2013 issue of the Harvard Business Review. Indeed, employees in Encyclopedia Britannica’s Chicago offices celebrated their company’s transition to the digital age, toasting the dawn of a new era. How does a centuries-old print publisher transform itself into a thriving technology company? For Encyclopedia Britannica, the answer was a combination of smart business decisions, careful planning, and finding the right technology partners. Encyclopedia Britannica had to decide not only what its digital products would look like, but also how to care for a new kind of customer.

Tools to turn a vendor into a partner

Selling to a vastly larger customer base exposed the limits of Encyclopedia Britannica’s homegrown CRM system. The software didn’t integrate with the company’s other back-office systems, and it required considerable maintenance. “It was a pain in the butt,” Ross recalled. “It was critical to get into the cloud and get the systems talking to each other.” Encyclopedia Britannica adopted Salesforce in 2012, beginning with Sales Cloud to address its critical CRM needs, and has since added Service Cloud, Chatter, Salesforce Platform, and Pardot across in-office and remote teams. Salesforce helped get sales and service reps sharing information, which is vital in a business built on relationships.

Encyclopedia Britannica sales reps stay with customers throughout their lifecycles, and are often the ones users come to first with product questions. Because Sales Cloud and Service Cloud are integrated on one platform, it’s easy to share these inquiries across the company, so sales reps can quickly find answers for their customers. Ross estimated that without Salesforce, he’d probably need three full-time support staffers instead of the one-person department currently employed. “Do we have enough human customer support? Yes, because of Service Cloud,” he said. A big benefit of going all-digital is that Encyclopedia Britannica now gains deeper insight into how customers use its products. “Online products let us be more intimate with customers. We communicate more frequently and respond to them better,” Ross said. From there, Service Cloud and Chatter make it easy to log customer feedback in real time and integrate it into the product development process. “We have products that have literally changed immediately because of things customers have suggested,” he said. “That really helps with customer loyalty.” As evidence, Director of Marketing and Sales Support Rick Booms cites Encyclopedia Britannica’s strong social media sentiment scores and subscription renewal rates that top 95%. To keep that rate climbing, the company adopted Pardot in mid-2015 to help with onboarding and renewals. Ross said his teams will also use Pardot to get away from “batch and blast” emails, in favor of buyer’s journeys that help them better understand what their customers are really interested in.

Overall, profit margins have increased 8% since Salesforce adoption. Year-over-year profits in Ross’ group grew twice as fast, to 17% over the same time period. “I guarantee we couldn’t have done that without Salesforce,” he said. The group also started using Platform to further streamline how they work, beginning with importing accounting and invoicing data from legacy systems into Salesforce. Company leadership knows that despite early success as a technology company, their work is far from over. In an age where virtually unlimited free information is just a swipe and tap away, Ross sees value in having a trusted brand vet your information for you. “We’d love for everyone to be using Britannica again as the trusted source for information,” he said. “A ton of people still come to us based on trust — they know our information is credible.” In an age of near-unlimited access to information, you can’t put a price on having a source you can trust every time.

Prompt #244

“You’ve been doing all of it!” Villain gasped. Months of scheming had allowed them to break into Hero’s base; now they were in they wished they hadn’t succeeded. “You’ve been making people into supervillains? Who are they?”

Hero laughed. “No one who mattered. No one who’ll be missed at least,” they amended, seeing the look on Villain’s face. “But you on the other hand, you’re something quite special. You decided to move against me all on your own. I think I’ll keep you for a while. At the very least, you’ll make a good reference for my next batch of villains.”

✎ — December: Baking (19/31)

➥   Fives x Reader | 244

Your daughter’s class has everyone bringing something for Life Day to share with the class. Fives and the 501st go hard.

notes: more dad!fives being the best dad he can be

You weren’t sure how this happened.

What was suppose to be a simple task of baking cookies for your daughter’s class turned into — this. Half of the 501st was crammed into your tiny kitchen, gathered around the table as Rex gave them a rather intense debriefing. Fives sat front and center with his daughter on his lap, a hair band dangling between his lips as he carefully brushed her hair into a neat little bun.

“… and it is our duty to complete this mission! The pride of the 501st is at stake!”

You smile at how seriously they were taking it. The troopers broke off to their assigned duties, and Fives balanced the little girl on his hip as they began to make their own batch of cookies. He offers her eggs to crack, and even holds the bowl so she can stir.

Fives treasures these moments with her. Hearing her laugh and squeal in delight at each little thing they do together, creating memories that helped him through dark, and difficult battles. He fought for her, for you — this peace.

When it’s done there are more cookies than your daughter’s class reasonably needs. Your living room now taken over by napping troopers and one tired, little girl covered in flour.

Fives comes up behind you as you’re cleaning up the disaster of a kitchen. He wraps his arms around you, kissing your cheek with a smile.

“Love you.”

“I love you too, Fives.”

NASA CELEBRATES THE LEGACY OF THE SPITZER SPACE TELESCOPE NASA is celebrating the legacy of one of its Great Observatories, the Spitzer Space Telescope, which has studied the universe in infrared light for more than 16 years. The Spitzer mission will come to a close on Jan. 30. Launched in 2003, Spitzer revealed previously hidden features of known cosmic objects and led to discoveries and insights spanning from our own solar system to nearly the edge of the universe. “Spitzer taught us how important infrared light is to understanding our universe, both in our own cosmic neighborhood and as far away as the most distant galaxies,” said Paul Hertz, director of astrophysics at NASA Headquarters. “The advances we make across many areas in astrophysics in the future will be because of Spitzer’s extraordinary legacy.” Spitzer was designed to study “the cold, the old and the dusty,” three things astronomers can observe particularly well in infrared light. Infrared light refers to a range of wavelengths on the infrared spectrum, from those measuring about 700 nanometers (too small to see with the naked eye) to about 1 millimeter (about the size of the head of a pin). Different infrared wavelengths can reveal different features of the universe. For example, Spitzer can see things too cold to emit much visible light, including exoplanets (planets outside our solar system), brown dwarfs and cold matter found in the space between stars. As for “the old,” Spitzer has studied some of the most distant galaxies ever detected. The light from some of them has traveled for billions of years to reach us, enabling scientists to see those objects as they were long, long ago. In fact, working together, Spitzer and the Hubble Space Telescope (which observes primarily in visible light and at shorter infrared wavelengths than those detected by Spitzer) identified and studied the most distant galaxy observed to date. The light we see from that galaxy was emitted 13.4 billion years ago, when the universe was less than 5% of its current age. Among other things, the two observatories found that such early galaxies are heavier than scientists expected. And by studying galaxies closer to us, Spitzer has deepened our understanding of how galaxy formation has evolved during the universe’s lifetime. Spitzer also has a keen eye for interstellar dust, which is prevalent throughout most galaxies. Mixed with gas in massive clouds, it can condense to form stars, and the remains can give birth to planets. With a technique called spectroscopy, Spitzer can analyze the chemical composition of dust to learn about the ingredients that form planets and stars. In 2005, after NASA’s Deep Impact mission intentionally slammed into Comet Tempel 1, the telescope analyzed the dust that was kicked up, providing a list of materials that would have been present in the early solar system. What’s more, Spitzer found a previously undetected ring around Saturn, composed of sparse dust particles that visible-light observatories can’t see. In addition, some infrared wavelengths of light can penetrate dust when visible light cannot, allowing Spitzer to reveal regions that would otherwise remain obscured from view. “It’s quite amazing when you lay out everything that Spitzer has done in its lifetime, from detecting asteroids in our solar system no larger than a stretch limousine to learning about some of the most distant galaxies we know of,” said Michael Werner, Spitzer’s project scientist. To deepen their scientific insights, Spitzer scientists have frequently combined their findings with those of many other observatories, including two of NASA’s other Great Observatories, Hubble and the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Other Worlds Some of Spitzer’s greatest scientific discoveries, including those regarding exoplanets, weren’t part of the mission’s original science goals. The team used a technique called the transit method, which looks for a dip in a star’s light that results when a planet passes in front of it, to confirm the presence of two Earth-size planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system. Then Spitzer discovered another five Earth-size planets in the same system -- and provided crucial information about their densities -- amounting to the largest batch of terrestrial exoplanets ever discovered around a single star. One of the first observatories to distinguish the light coming directly from an exoplanet, Spitzer harnessed the same capability for another first: detecting molecules in the atmosphere of an exoplanet. (Previous studies had revealed individual chemical elements in exoplanet atmospheres.) And it provided the first measurements of temperature variations and wind in an exoplanet atmosphere as well. “When Spitzer was being designed, scientists had not yet found a single transiting exoplanet, and by the time Spitzer launched, we still knew about only a handful,” said Sean Carey, manager of the Spitzer Science Center at IPAC at Caltech in Pasadena, California. “The fact that Spitzer became such a powerful exoplanet tool, when that wasn’t something the original planners could have possibly prepared for, is really profound. And we generated some results that absolutely knocked our socks off.” Keeping Cool One of Spitzer’s major strengths is its sensitivity -- that is, its ability to detect very faint sources of infrared light. Earth is a major source of infrared radiation, and trying to see faint infrared sources from the ground is like trying to observe stars while the Sun is up. That’s a major reason why Spitzer’s designers made it the first astrophysics observatory in an Earth-trailing orbit: Far from our planet’s heat, Spitzer’s detectors wouldn’t have to contend with our planet’s own infrared radiation. Different infrared wavelengths can reveal different features of the universe. Some ground telescopes can observe in certain infrared wavelengths and provide valuable scientific insights, but Spitzer can achieve greater sensitivity than even much larger ground telescopes and see much fainter sources, such as extremely distant galaxies. What’s more, it was designed to detect some infrared wavelengths that Earth’s atmosphere entirely blocks, rendering those wavelengths beyond the reach of ground-based observatories. Spacecraft can generate infrared heat too, so Spitzer was designed to stay cool, operating at temperatures as low as minus 450 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 267 degrees Celsius). In 2009, Spitzer exhausted its supply of helium coolant, marking the end of its “cold mission.” But Spitzer’s great distance from Earth has helped keep it from warming up too much -- it still operates at about minus 408 degrees Fahrenheit (or minus 244 degrees Celsius) -- and mission team members found they could continue observing in two infrared wavelengths. Spitzer’s “warm mission” has lasted for over a decade, nearly twice as long as its cold mission. The original mission planners didn’t expect Spitzer to operate for 16-plus years. This extended lifetime has led to some of Spitzer’s most profound science results but has also posed challenges as the spacecraft drifts farther from Earth. “It wasn’t in the plan to have Spitzer operating so far away from Earth, so the team has had to adapt year after year to keep the spacecraft operating,” said Joseph Hunt, Spitzer project manager. “But I think overcoming that challenge has given people a great sense of pride in the mission. This mission stays with you.” On Jan. 30, 2020, engineers will decommission the Spitzer spacecraft and cease science operations. During the 2016 NASA Senior Review process, the agency made a decision to close out the Spitzer mission. The closeout was initially planned for 2018 in anticipation of the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, which will also conduct infrared astronomy. When Webb’s launch was postponed, the Spitzer mission was granted its fifth and final extension. These mission extensions have given Spitzer additional time to continue producing transformative science including pathfinding work for Webb. TOP IMAGE....The magnificent spiral arms of the nearby galaxy Messier 81 are highlighted in this NASA Spitzer Space Telescope image. Located in the northern constellation of Ursa Major (which also includes the Big Dipper), this galaxy is easily visible through binoculars or a small telescope. M81 is located at a distance of 12 million light-years from Earth. Because of its proximity, M81 provides astronomers with an enticing opportunity to study the anatomy of a spiral galaxy in detail. The unprecedented spatial resolution and sensitivity of Spitzer at infrared wavelengths show a clear separation between the several key constituents of the galaxy: the old stars, the interstellar dust heated by star formation activity, and the embedded sites of massive star formation. The infrared images also permit quantitative measurements of the galaxy's overall dust content, as well as the rate at which new stars are being formed. The infrared image was obtained by Spitzer's infrared array camera. It is a four-color composite of invisible light, showing emissions from wavelengths of 3.6 microns (blue), 4.5 microns (green), 5.8 microns (yellow) and 8.0 microns (red). Winding outward from the bluish-white central bulge of the galaxy, where old stars predominate and there is little dust, the grand spiral arms are dominated by infrared emission from dust. Dust in the galaxy is bathed by ultraviolet and visible light from the surrounding stars. Upon absorbing an ultraviolet or visible-light photon, a dust grain is heated and re-emits the energy at longer infrared wavelengths. The dust particles, composed of silicates (which are chemically similar to beach sand) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, trace the gas distribution in the galaxy. The well-mixed gas (which is best detected at radio wavelengths) and dust provide a reservoir of raw materials for future star formation. The infrared-bright clumpy knots within the spiral arms denote where massive stars are being born in giant H II (ionized hydrogen) regions. The 8-micron emission traces the regions of active star formation in the galaxy. Studying the locations of these regions with respect to the overall mass distribution and other constituents of the galaxy (e.g., gas) will help identify the conditions and processes needed for star formation. With the Spitzer observations, this information comes to us without complications from absorption by cold dust in the galaxy, which makes interpretation of visible-light features uncertain. The white stars scattered throughout the field of view are foreground stars within our own Milky Way galaxy. CENTRE IMAGE....This dazzling infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows hundreds of thousands of stars crowded into the swirling core of our spiral Milky Way galaxy. In visible-light pictures, this region cannot be seen at all because dust lying between Earth and the galactic center blocks our view. In this false-color picture, old and cool stars are blue, while dust features lit up by blazing hot, massive stars are shown in a reddish hue. Both bright and dark filamentary clouds can be seen, many of which harbor stellar nurseries. The plane of the Milky Way's flat disk is apparent as the main, horizontal band of clouds. The brightest white spot in the middle is the very center of the galaxy, which also marks the site of a supermassive black hole. The region pictured here is immense, with a horizontal span of 890 light-years and a vertical span of 640 light-years. Earth is located 26,000 light-years away, out in one of the Milky Way's spiral arms. Though most of the objects seen in this image are located at the galactic center, the features above and below the galactic plane tend to lie closer to Earth. Scientists are intrigued by the giant lobes of dust extending away from the plane of the galaxy. They believe the lobes may have been formed by winds from massive stars. This image is a mosaic of thousands of short exposures taken by Spitzer's infrared array camera, showing emissions from wavelengths of 3.6 microns (blue), 4.5 microns (green), 5.8 microns (orange), and 8.0 microns (red). The entire region was imaged in less than 16 hours. LOWER IMAGE....Newborn stars peek out from beneath their natal blanket of dust in this dynamic image of the Rho Ophiuchi dark cloud from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Called "Rho Oph" by astronomers, it's one of the closest star-forming regions to our own solar system. Located near the constellations Scorpius and Ophiuchus, the nebula is about 407 light years away from Earth. Rho Oph is a complex made up of a large main cloud of molecular hydrogen, a key molecule allowing new stars to form from cold cosmic gas, with two long streamers trailing off in different directions. Recent studies using the latest X-ray and infrared observations reveal more than 300 young stellar objects within the large central cloud. Their median age is only 300,000 years, very young compared to some of the universe's oldest stars, which are more than 12 billion years old. This false-color image of Rho Oph's main cloud, Lynds 1688, was created with data from Spitzer's infrared array camera, which has the highest spatial resolution of Spitzer's three imaging instruments, and its multiband imaging photometer, best for detecting cooler materials. Blue represents 3.6-micron light; green shows light of 8 microns; and red is 24-micron light. The multiple wavelengths reveal different aspects of the dust surrounding and between the embedded stars, yielding information about the stars and their birthplace. The colors in this image reflect the relative temperatures and evolutionary states of the various stars. The youngest stars are surrounded by dusty disks of gas from which they, and their potential planetary systems, are forming. These young disk systems show up as red in this image. Some of these young stellar objects are surrounded by their own compact nebulae. More evolved stars, which have shed their natal material, are blue. The extended white nebula in the center right of the image is a region of the cloud which is glowing in infrared light due to the heating of dust by bright young stars near the right edge of the cloud. Fainter multi-hued diffuse emission fills the image. The color of the nebulosity depends on the temperature, composition and size of the dust grains. Most of the stars forming now are concentrated in a filament of cold, dense gas that shows up as a dark cloud in the lower center and left side of the image against the bright background of the warm dust. Although infrared radiation at 24 microns pierces through dust easily, this dark filament is incredibly opaque, appearing dark even at the longest wavelengths in the image. BOTTOM IMAGE....In this artist's rendering of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope in space, the background is shown in infrared light.
