This book explores the challenges leaders in intelligence communities face in an increasingly complex security environment and how to develop future leaders to deal with these issues. As the security and policy-making environment becomes increasingly complicated for decision-makers, the focus on intelligence agencies 'to deliver' more value will increase. This book is the first extensive exploration of contemporary leadership in the context of intelligence agencies, principally in the 'Five Eyes' nations (i.e. Australia, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand). It provides a grounded theoretical approach to building practitioner and researcher understanding of what individual and organisational factors result in better leadership. Using interviews from former senior intelligence leaders and a survey of 208 current and former intelligence leaders, the work explores the key challenges that leaders will likely face in the twenty-first century and how to address these. It also explores what principles are most likely to be important in developing future leaders of intelligence agencies in the future. This book will be of much interest to students of intelligence studies, strategic studies, leadership studies, security studies, and international relations.

Omnis cellula e cellula, "every cell from a cell," was dogma to the 19th century cellular physiologist and the cornerstone of Virchow's Cellular pathologie. "Spread out a cell into a layer and you will find that, in ceasing to be a cell, it has ceased to act as such," wrote the British 1 physiologist G . R. Lewes more than a century age. "The cell remains vital as long as its wall remains intact . . . " keeping its content "pure and clear" and thus preserving the "vital principle" within, echoed Claude 2 Bernard a few years later. The notion of the cell membrane as a pro tecting envelope held sway until it became clear that it could not account for the "coalescence" of poorly differentiated embryonic "vesicles" and for their transformation into "cell-like structures" capable of auto regulation and yet subject to what the grandfather of one of us defined as the "federal obligations imposed by the whole organism., 3 A new concept was needed, and soon the membrane was described as a structure capable of uniting as well as separating adjacent cells. Morphologic evidence for this dual function was obtained several years later when the electron microscope revealed the existence of tight and gap junc tions which, acting as intercellular bonds and channels, allowed the cells to communicate with one another and thus coordinate their biologic activities."

The story of the Revolutionary War in the Northern colonies is well known but the war that raged across the South in 1780-1781-considered by some the "unknown Revolution"-included some of the most important yet least studied engagements. Drawing extensively on their letters, this book follows the campaigns of General Nathanael Greene and Lord Charles Cornwallis as they fought across the Carolinas, offers a compelling look at their leadership. The theater of war the two commanders entered in 1870 was populated by various ethnic and religious groups and separated geographically, economically and politically into the low country and the mountainous backcountry, Setting the stage for what was to come.

This volume examines the ethical issues that arise as a result of national security intelligence collection and analysis. Powerful new technologies enable the collection, communication and analysis of national security data on an unprecedented scale. Data collection now plays a central role in intelligence practice, yet this development raises a host of ethical and national security problems, such as privacy; autonomy; threats to national security and democracy by foreign states; and accountability for liberal democracies. This volume provides a comprehensive set of in-depth ethical analyses of these problems by combining contributions from both ethics scholars and intelligence practitioners. It provides the reader with a practical understanding of relevant operations, the issues that they raise and analysis of how responses to these issues can be informed by a commitment to liberal democratic values. This combination of perspectives is crucial in providing an informed appreciation of ethical challenges that is also grounded in the realities of the practice of intelligence. This book will be of great interest to all students of intelligence studies, ethics, security studies, foreign policy and international relations.

This book explores how potential bio-threats and risks may evolve post 9/11 given the rapid changes in biotechnology and synthetic biology. It also explores what role intelligence communities can play in understanding threats and risks. It argues that although bio-threats and risks are largely low probability and high impact in nature, intelligence in 'Five Eyes' countries remain insufficiently prepared to understand them. This book identifies key areas where intelligence reforms need to take place including a more strategic and systematic collaboration between national security/law enforcement intelligence and the scientific community. It is aimed at intelligence analysts, those in the scientific community working on health security threats, policy makers and researchers working on biosecurity and bioterrorism threats and risks.

When a long time city resident relocated to the back acres of Union Township in rural Marshal County, Indiana, he found rustic roads to walk; farmers to meet; their animals, farm and feral; town folk to greet; places to eat; old timers to talk; war stories to relive; a commode's drain field to flush; a weekly to read; politicians to forget; funerals to weep; a despairing golf game; vocal ill elderly in nursing homes; a church choir to impress. Ah, Rural life There isn't it's like in the city.

SOLDIERS IN COMBAT DUG FOR THEIR LIVES. IT WAS IRONIC THAT ALL FOREIGNERS ON KOREA'S HILLS WERE MODIFYING NATURE BY DIGGING PITS FOR WAR, BUT DOWN OVER THE CENTURIES THE KOREAN'S HAD LEFT NATURE ON THE HILLS MOSTLY ALONE. MEN AT WAR BUILT. MEN AT PEACE FARMED. MEN AT WAR DESTROYED. MEN AT PEACE REBUILT. THE GUNNER'S HANDS DROVE THE TRIPOD'S JAMMING HANDLES FREE, THE HEAVY MACHINE GUN AND CRADLE DROPPING TO A LOW PROFILE. HE JAMMED TIGHT THE HANDLES ONCE MORE, THEN PULLED THE GUN AND TRIPOD TO NEW COVER, TAKING TO THE EARTH DOWN IN THE SOIL LIKE A MOLE. HE SIGHTED, FIRED A BURST AND FOLLOWED THE TRACER LINE. HE ADJUSTED BY TRACER. THE MEDIC WORKED WOUNDED ON AN OUTPOST OF THE DEAD. A MORTAL SILENCE HAD FALLEN. BONE AND SINEW WERE DIVIDED IN TWO, BODIES BLEEDING BENEATH THE GRIM DUST OF BATTLE THAT SHADED GRISTLY REMAINS FROM THE BURNING SUN. HOW MANY CRUSHED AND TORN ENEMY WERE SEVERED FOREVER FROM THEIR FIVE SENSES? HE FELT IT WAS MADNESS TO FIGHT FOR CHOICE HUMPTY BACKS TO SHOOT FROM TO KILL ONE ANOTHER. THERE WAS NO END. ACROSS THE NEXT VALLEY ROSE A CHAIN OF OTHER PEAKS CLEAR THROUGH NORTH KOREA AND INTO MANCHURIA. WAS THE WELL BEING OF THE EIGHT ARMY MORE ASSURED ON ANY ONE HIGH PEAK AS OPPOSED TO ANOTHER? WHAT MADNESS MUST OCCUPY THE MINDS OF THOSE WHO TALK A TRUCE RESTING ON ONE PEAK AS OPPOSED TO ANOTHER THE POWER OF INFANTRYMEN WAS BASED ON HUMAN RATHER THAN PLANNER'S POWER. FRONT LINE MEN HAD LEARNED TO FIGHT DOWN FRIGHT, ALTHOUGH THEY ALWAYS HAD FEAR. THEIR CONFIDENCE IN THEMSELVES DEPENDED UPON THEIR SKILLS WITH THEIR WEAPONS, FAITH IN THEIR SQUAD LEADERS, TRUST IN THEIR SQUAD MEMBERS, ASSURED EACH WOULD BACK THE OTHER. SQUAD DISCIPLINE DIDN'T IMPLY AN UNTHINKING OBEDIENCE; IT IMPLIED INITIATIVE AND SKILL RELENTLESSLY PRESERVED FOR THE SQUAD'S OBJECTIVE. IT MEANT OVER RULING INSTINCT, AND MINIMIZING REFLECTION ON THE STALLED TRUCE TALKS. IN LATE NOVEMBER THE FREEZE WAS MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST, WITH WINDS FROM THE NORTHWEST AT TWENTY-FIVE KNOTS PER HOUR WITH GUSTS UP TO FORTY KNOTS. IT WOULD FREEZE THE RIVER THAT THE EIGHT ARMY OR CHINESE COMMUNIST FORCES MIGHT WALK ON WATER.

There are nine (9) psychological case studies of real people dealing with depression in this 37-page booklet. Each one shows how unique the consequences of this debilitating condition can be on one's life. The author of these studies, John F. Walsh, M.S. (1937 - 2012), spent the better part of his life - 45 years - working as a crisis intervention mental health professional within various mental health hospitals. Jack had a special knack for figuring out what was wrong and helping people deal with their circumstances. The final write-up in this collection of case studies lays out his ideas for how you can best help your friend or loved one. Don't get so wrapped up in their problems that you neglect taking care of yourself.

It mattered a great deal to Director Zigmont that Mike Brannagh, a "whistle blower' on the 'outs' with State elected officials, would become 'ombudsman' for residents in nursing homes within Zigmont's Area Agency on Aging. Ziggie and his source needed a man inside the Land of Last Life, a man of integrity with contacts on the streets of Oldtown, a man not hesitant to quietly investigate if FDA quality psychotropic medicines were being removed from nursing homes, replaced by counterfeit. State Health Nursing Home Survey team supervisor Belinda Fordice RN was Mike's first recruit; next was Church of Holiness' Reverend Coppin Yard. When Nursing Home resident Fergus Orr slowly revealed the history of ELDER TRIPPERS, a travel club back in the 1970ties that transported elderly citizens to Mexican vacation sites, and upon return, smuggled counterfeit Mexican prescription medicines for an Oldtown druggist, Fergus provided Mike connections to the present.
