Dr. Astro talks about the importance of Personal wellness and discusses the holistic approach in career counseling in making good personal decisions in life.
Humans can often determine a lot about other people just by looking at their faces and bodies. Subtle cues like facial expressions, posture, and clothing choices unconsciously provide clues about personality traits, emotions, intentions, social status, and more. While quick judgments based on appearance alone can be inaccurate, research shows that people tend to form initial impressions about others based primarily on visual information.
This document discusses cultural intelligence (CQ) and how it relates to age and generational culture. It provides links to resources on defining CQ and the pros and cons of diversity as well as a blog post about technologists and CQ, suggesting CQ is important for understanding differences between age groups and cultures.

This is directed at all of my Reserve Component Chief Petty Officer shipmates:
“Do you want to take COMMAND? Can you be entrusted to stand tall under pressure? If you are a Chief then the answer must be a resounding “Aye, Aye!” Would you like to drill/serve your country past the maximum 30 years of TIS allowed for enlisted personnel? Do you have what it takes to wear "eagles" on your collar or be a CWO5? Would you like to increase your retirement pay by 50% or even 100%?
If you are an E-7 through E-9 with the desire to reach for one of the most demanding and satisfying positions in the Navy, the Limited Duty Officer or Chief Warrant Officer Commissioning Program may be for you.
The RC LDO/CWO program is actively seeking candidates with the “right stuff”. The RC CWO program is in particular need of support from the CPO mess. We are approximately 50% manned in our RC CWO inventory and we are losing folks almost as fast as we are “making” them. The RC LDO situation is a bit better, but not by much. So the fleet has an incentive to get as many highly qualified candidates into those billets as possible.
If you are a Reserve Component Chief Petty Officer and are interested in the RC LDO/CWO program, then now is the time to take the next step.
The following designator/career fields are OPEN:
623X (LDO SUB REPAIR)
626X (LDO SUB ORDNANCE)
628X (LDO SUB ELEX)
629X (LDO SUB COMMS)
633X (LDO AV MAINT)
641X (LDO ADMIN)
642X (LDO INFO PRO)
645X (LDO INTEL)
649X (LDO SECURITY)
653X (LDO CEC)
711X (SURF DECK CWO)
712X (SURF OPS CWO)
713X (SURF REP CWO)
715X (SEAL CWO)
716X (SURF ORD CWO)
717X (SWCC CWO)
742X (INFO TECH CWO)
744X (INFO WARFARE CWO)
745X (INTEL CWO)
Any interested applicants should take a look at the attached program flyer for more information. Anyone that does NOT already have an RC LDO/CWO mentor to assist with application preparation and the interview appraisal process should immediately contact our Recruiting Action Officer for assistance: CWO2 Richard Townsend: richard.townsend@navy.mil
Applications are due NLT 01OCT2015, so time is running short. The fleet needs you now. I am "living proof" of what the program offers. It worked for me and it can work for you too. Please pass the word.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

not the person for orientation, advising or testing
18. Courseload
Your Courseload should be designed to help you be successful,
not to commit you to an unrealistic schedule
Thumb rule = @ 45-48 hours PLUS twice that for reading/homework
= approx. 150 hours per course, or about 1 hour 15 minutes per
day for one class
To be successful (considering military duties and outside
distractions) you may want to take only one course at a time
Your initial enrollment is limited to one course (no exceptions)
The maximum amount of NCPACE courses allowed at any one time
is two courses
Courses may not overlap, e.g. 12-week DL classes may not overlap
8-week IL classes if it results in a student taking three classes
simultaneously
If a course is not completed, then continuing the following term
is not allowed
If you are struggling with your course, talk with your command/
ESO/Navy College Office! Ignoring it will not make it go away.
19. What if I’m not there for
Official Registration?
You must still have completed an NCPACE Brief in order to
participate in NCPACE
You may not enroll in Distance-learning (DL) courses because all
materials must be pre-ordered and delivered by a specific date
by the contractor
You might be able to enroll in Instructor-led (IL) courses;
subject to space-available/course-available basis
Check with your ESO and see what they recommend
If you miss registering for courses your choice may be to study
for college-credit-by-examination
20. What about books?
Plan ahead -- payment must be only by Navy Cash CardPlan ahead -- payment must be only by Navy Cash Card,,
money order or cashier’s check for all enrolled termsmoney order or cashier’s check for all enrolled terms
Books and related materials will be delivered to the ship and sold
to the student
For DL courses - by the contractor
Payment is due at Official Registration, which occurs about
three weeks prior to the start of the program
Students may choose alternative methods, but must take
full responsibility for getting materials before class starts
For IL courses - by the instructor
Payment is due the first class
Book buy-back policy is the same as for the main campus
21. What if I have to drop/Withdraw?

Editor's Notes
Hello. This presentation is an important part of NCPACE Orientation Services designed to provide Sailors with important information to help them better understand NCPACE and how it can help them maximize their educational opportunities at sea.
Orientation Services (OS) are conducted by Navy College Office staff to prepare a command and its personnel for participation in NCPACE.
Please ensure your ESO has documented your completion of this brief so that you can proceed in the enrollment process.
The Navy College Program for Afloat College Education (NCPACE) was created to allow seagoing servicemembers to easily participate in voluntary education.
Sailors at sea may begin, continue, or complete college courses, or they may complete an entire degree program using NCPACE.
NCPACE Orientation consists of a series of events conducted by Navy College Office staff, beginning with a command level briefing and culminating in the presentation of a Command Education Plan to a Commanding Officer.
Events include the command briefing, crew briefings, ASSET placement testing and individual counseling for interested crew members.
While Navy College assists with planning a program and preparing the crew, the ship makes all decisions about when, what type, and where NCPACE is conducted.
There are many things that have to be completed before an NCPACE program can begin: briefings, requests, approvals, registration, and delivery of materials all take time. Sailors must attend mandatory briefings and be on hand for official registration.
When a ship goes on deployment the crew is often not available the month prior to leaving due to Pre-Overseas Movement, and the month prior to that is often taken up with underway preparations. Because of this commands and Sailors need to put together their programs and order their courses well in advance of deployment and term start dates.
Too often the Sailor who plans to “wait until later” winds up not being able to participate at all.
NCPACE is not only valuable for students seeking college credits,
It is useful to the command in providing opportunities and services to sailors;
It is useful to each sailor in professional development for advancement, rating choices, and career success; and
It can allow sailors to prepare themselves for college and life after their military career.
Combined with
traditional college coursework;
ACE recommended military training and qualifications; and
credits recommended through testing,
NCPACE is an important piece of the voluntary education process.
NCPACE is tuition=free; students only pay for books and necessary fees.
Sailors using Tuition Assistance and online schooling need to worry about having a reliable Internet connection: with NCPACE there is NO INTERNET REQUIRED – everything is completely self-contained.
NCPACE is an additional benefit to seagoing servicemembers – it does not affect access to Tuition Assistance, GI Bill benefits, or DANTES testing, but is another method of earning credit
There are TWO types of qualifications a Sailor must complete in order to participate in NCPACE:
FIRST, they must meet the requirements of NAVADMIN 161/07 and meet their military responsibilities prior to enrolling in schooling. A second NAVADMIN, NAVADMIN 105/10 requires Sailors to have met with Navy College Office personnel to ensure they have a valid education plan and understand their funding choices. This NAVADMIN is designed to avoid wasting time and money.
SECOND, they must meet the specific requirements to participate in NCPACE: command approval, attendance at a Crew Brief, meeting any pre-requisites, and being present for Official Registration.
The command may combine various methods of delivery in an NCPACE program.
Instructor-Led, or IL, consists of having a qualifed teacher onboard offering courses.
Distance Learning, or DL, allows Sailors to conduct one-on-one, self-paced schooling.
Both are NCPACE, they are just different ways to complete courses.
If the ship desires to provide Instructor-based classes, certain requirements must be met.
The ship must provide enough student demand to justify assignment of an instructor onboard.
The ship must also meet obligations concerning classroom availability and class size, in addition to addressing messing and berthing for attached instructors.
Active duty navy personnel have the opportunity to teach while at sea.
With command approval, qualified shipboard personnel may teach specific courses.
Active duty personnel interested in teaching should contact the colleges directly for qualification requirements.
IL Courses may be ordered for Academic Skills, college prep, and undergraduate or graduate college courses.
The courses must run for 48 contact hours, and are traditionally scheduled to be completed in an eight-week term.
DL courses are ordered and delivered to the ship prior to deployment.
Each DL term runs for 90 days, but the Sailor has flexibility in how they complete it.
When their books and student packages are delivered a test folder is delivered to the NCPACE Coordinator.
The NCPACE Coordinator is responsible for maintaining and safeguarding tests and materials, and oversees each student’s progress.
Commands may request a contractor-supplied laptop computer to allow students to work on their courses,or allow students to work on their courses on their personal or government machines.
If government systems are authorized, ships IT personnel may be asked by the NCPACE coordinator to check the configuration of certain CDs to ensure they work on the ship’s systems.
Command support for access is crucial, as lack of access to a computer is not considered a valid reason for non-completion of a technology course. This is one of the major benefits of NCPACE, since INTERNET access is not required.
The entire NCPACE program is run by Central Texas College of Kileen, Texas. It has subcontracted with eleven other schools to offer courses.
While some of the schools offer preparatory, undergraduate and graduate courses via Instructor, most of them are part of the DL network offering undergraduate and graduate courses.
All of the schools are regionally accredited, military-friendly institutions that work with Sailors provide the best mix of traditional and non-traditional schooling.
Student transcripts do not indicate that a course was completed at sea, with the Navy, or through NCPACE. They read the same as any other traditional transcript from that school.
Academic Skills is one of the most important components of the NCPACE program. It cannot be done via DL, this program is available with an instructor to anyone regardless of their academic level.
However, it is most beneficial for those who need refresher courses in reading, writing and math or will need to re-take their ASVAB for Perform to Serve.
These courses are usually offered over a 3 or 4 week term.
They are offered at no cost to the Sailor. Unlike other NCPACE courses, for Academic Skills books and materials are provided at no charge.
Military service does not take the place of formal schooling. If a course has a pre-requisite there is no waiver. Proof of meeting a pre-requisite must be shown the contractor during Official Registration.
The ASSET is designed to determine a person’s current skill level in reading and math.
Normally an individual will take both tests, however, it is possible to test in only one skill area, e.g. math
ASSET tests are scored at the Navy College Office and results are provided to the NCPACE counselors. ASSET scores from tests administered at on-base colleges can also be used for NCPACE course selection.
It’s important to understand that Navy College Counselors help with preparing a program, but that Official Registration is required for the contractor to put together each student’s course packages.
Pre-registration does not obligate a Sailor, they only become a student after official registration.
The official registration will be conducted by the contractor aboard the ship, when they will collect registration forms, collect book money, and (21 days later) deliver student packages.
A student may need to take an ASSET test in order to sign up for NCPACE courses.
If you have had prior college, bring copies of any transcripts or SOCNAV agreements to the counseling session. These documents will enable the counselor to verify prerequisites and ensure that courses selected will meet your degree requirements.
NCPACE courses are offered in compressed terms and a single course constitutes a half-time student load. Often this is a heavy load in addition to a Sailor’s workload.
Many commands institute a policy that no one should be enrolled in more than one course at a time.
However, if there is a compelling reason for someone to enroll in two courses in a term, the individual’s commanding officer can allow it.
This does not apply to Navy’s policy of one course policy for the initial Distance Learning term.
If you are unable to pre-register, you may still have limited options.
For instructor-based courses, if a course is not fully enrolled, you may be able to go to that class and be added to the roster provided you have taken all other steps, e.g. reviewed this brief, taken the ASSET (if required) and have other documentation (transcripts) if there are prerequisites involved.
For computer-based courses, you may not be able to enroll because the contractor has not created a student package.
Ensure your ESO knows what you are doing so they can make sure your enrollment status is correct for funding and grading purposes.
For IL courses books are sold the first night of class.
For DL courses a Sailor has the option of ordering materials from the contractor during Official Registration or trying to order them on their own. The advantages of ordering from the contractor include guaranteed delivery of all materials and replacement of any missing/damaged materials. If a Sailor wants to order materials on their own they must realize that they will not find great savings over the NCPACE prices, and that failure to have their materials IS NOT justification for a command-supported withdrawal from a course.
Approximate book prices will be available during pre-registration but actual book prices will be provided by the contractor.
DL book orders are placed at OFFICIAL REGISTRATION. The command may use the Navy Cash system, or Sailors can buy a money order or cashier’s check to purchase books as the contractor will not accept personal checks or credit cards.
While the contractor sells books they do not buy back texts. They will provide information on how to return books to MBS for resale.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SLIDES IN THIS PRESENTATION.
The Navy is making a sizable investment for each NCPACE enrollment so it is very important that Sailors do their part by finishing what they start.
If you get off to a bad start in a class and start feeling that you may not be able to successfully complete it, you need to seriously consider official withdrawal.
Not attending the class, or not starting on the course WILL NOT REMOVE YOU FROM THE NCPACE PROGRAM!
This completes the NCPACE Crew Briefing, now it is up to you. You must do the following:
1 – Make sure you are qualified for NCPACE by completing/meeting your military requirements
2 – Attend an NCPACE Crew Brief, pay attention, and ASK QUESTIONS
3 – Sign up for classes with your ESO or NCPACE Coordinator – if you do not sign up then the command may not have enough people to conduct a program, so if you wait you may actually prevent the command from having anything.
4 – SHOW UP for Official Registration. It does not matter how much you want to do NCPACE or what you have told your ESO, NCPACE Coordinator, or Navy College advisor. If you are not present to officially register you will not be a student.
And 5 – Take NCPACE seriously – these courses are not simplified for Sailors at sea, they do not expect or accept substandard work. They are actual college courses no different than those offered on campus, they are just using a different delivery method.
Good Luck in your pursuit of voluntary education.
Please ensure your ESO has documented your completion of this brief so that you can proceed in the enrollment process.
