Force Form

Evolution is wonderfully unpredictable. A million years ago, if you were plopped down in Africa and asked which animal would soon become the dominant species, I pretty much guarantee you wouldn't have selected the soft little hominid with the big head and funny gait. So any answer you get is going to be highly speculative.The reason we became the dominant species on Earth is this:Unlike our competitors, we started walking upright. And then we started running. By becoming the world's elite long distance runner, we ensured that we could kill and eat high protein animals that were faster than us, but that couldn't keep running as long as we could. Once we could do that, our brains got bigger as a result and the rest is history... tools, language, agriculture, and so on...So who's next? Accepting that we have no idea which evolutionary leap (like upright walking) may lead to the next dominant species, we can at least guess based on a few assumptions:1. The overall ecosystem of Earth is more complex and sophisticated now than it was when bacteria, trilobytes, or even dinosaurs were the dominant species. This means that unless there's another massive die-off, the next dominant species will likely be highly adaptable, if not extra-ordinarily intelligent (and likely self-aware).2. There are a bunch of species that are quite deeply evolved, since they evolved along side us. As such, they don't have anywhere near as far to go as we humans had to evolve. In some cases, I suspect if humans disappeared, a few candidates would just need a couple hundred thousand years and some luck to end up in a similar situation to us.3. True success and dominance at this point probably requires evolution of a means of force multiplication. That means evolving tools and/or behaviors that maximize the production/collection of food. This probably requires several or all of the following traits:Sociability - loners don't develop sophisticated social queues or tools. So most strict carnivores like big cats, even though they usually physically superior, are poor candidates for evolutionary dominance on modern Earth.Dexterity - Lack of fine motor skills makes it very hard to do the whole tool, agriculture, dominance path thing. Note: "hands" aren't required, but a highly dextrous body extension seems critical to me. Octopus arms, Elephant trunks could work. The key is a non-locomotive manipulator "hand".Access to fire - Sorry, dolphins and octopuses. While its certainly possible for smarter aquatic life to become dominant below the waves, it's hard to imagine any cetacean or cephalopod evolving to dominate outside their world. That's not to say one of them might not "rule the waves" so to speak.Decent life-span - Moreso than being stuck in saltwater, this is really why Octopi are a bad candidate. 2-3 year lifespans are not the stuff of global dominance.So we're looking for smart, adaptable, non-aquatic social animals in need of just an evolutionary jump or two to take them over the top. If they already use tools, that's a good sign. If they already use complex group-based food gathering tactics, that's another good sign.My candidates:Chimps and Bonobos - Our closest relatives are the obvious choice. Tool users. Highly social. There's a reason "Planet of the Apes" was popular. It doesn't take much imagination to envision these guys taking over the world. For every other species' sake, let's hope its the Bonobos, not the Chimps. Much like us, chimps are assholes.Baboons and Orangutans - Large, social old-world monkeys are probably next up, for similar reasons. Baboons in particular interest me because of their higher levels of environmental adaptability.Gorillas - Size may limit them to certain habitats now, but one could imagine them learning how to make their favorite foods more available over time and spring-boarding from there.Sorry, but for the short-term, I really think the next dominant species will remain close to our branch of the family tree.Maybe not next up, but down the road...Other monkeys/apes - There are a lot of smaller monkeys out there, spread over much of the Earth. It would take them longer, and the end result would probably look a lot different than us. But our more distant primate cousins like gibbons, macaques, and colobus have many of the fundamentals in place. Old-world monkeys probably have some advantages over the New-world monkeys.Wolves/Wild Dogs/Foxes - Sociability is a big plus for them. Their main problem is a lack of manual dexterity. Hard to see them evolving quickly in our general (tool using) direction. That said, with humans gone, canines would very quickly become the apex predator in much of the world.Musteloidea - This superfamily within Carnivora contains several Families with interesting candidates:Ailuridae (red pandas)Mustelidae (weasels, badgers, and otters)Procyonidae (raccoons and their relatives)Birds - As dinosaurs, they already ruled the world once. No reason to think they couldn't do it again. Some groups/species of particular interest:Pigeons (sociability, adaptability)Ravens/Crows (intelligence, problem solving, tool use)Parrots (intelligence, speech, bill as manipulator)As a completely personal preference, as someone that thinks about this sort of thing far too much, I'd love to see "civilized" red pandas or otters. They're different enough from us, while still possessing many of the traits we look for in a potentially advanced species. They're cute as hell too...

Yes. You can fill the form and appear for exam both as an airman or officer any number of times till you are within the age range and possess the educational qualification. It is the CPSS/PABT exam where you can appear only once (to join as a pilot), whether you pass or fail.

To me, no, I don't find it strange. Maybe his level of urgency and persistence about it is strange but the actual skill seems normal to me. I was 15, when I was taken to the bank to open my first checking/savings acct. My mom and grandparents showed how to write checks, how to read a check, sign a check, fill out deposit forms etc. It IS an integral and impt life skill and I see your Father's reasoning for it. Elementary age seems young bc a kid that young isnt going to have a real reason to personally use checks, BUT getting a head start on learning those basics is invaluable.I never considered doing that with kids and I find it to be a great idea. But HE should be teaching it to your sibling like he taught it to you - that is only fair. Sure most of your classmates won't have a clue about banking, but you will be ahead of them. It's a very impt thing to know how to do, so the younger the better I say - kids are sponges!

No ,Now at this time you cant change the preferences!!As per my knowledge i suggest you to go for SSB without any tension.If you clear it as well as medicals then you just join the academy as it is .After joining the academy you can change your service according to your choice .So now just prepare for your SSB.All the best !!!!

As of now, girls will not be taken in as personnel below officer rank in the three services. Girls can only become officers.Paramilitary forces like BSF, CISF, Assam Rifles, etc., do take in girls.

First, if you live in the USA: the US Federal government, all of the state governments and all of the colleges firmly believe that the Primary responsibility for paying for student’s bachelors degree is with the Parents.Period.However, because your parents refuse to pay and one Must assume they will refuse to fill out the FAFSA forms you are essentially screwed.If your family is dirt poor, but your parents and you filled out the FAFSA forms, over four years you could get (roughly):$24,000 in Pell GrantsYou could borrow $27,000 from the Federal direct loan programAnd if you were to be admitted to an elite Private US university, many of those universities will Give you up to Full Financial Aid.However, if your parents refuse to pay anything and refuse to fill out the FAFSA forms, then you get Zip. Even if you were admitted to MIT, Stanford or Harvard, you would get Nothing and have to pay over $280,000 over four years, where as those colleges could make that ZERO if you had filled out the FAFSA forms with your parents.So, sit down with your parents, tell them all of this, then thank them for Nothing, and then go down to the US Navy or US Air Force recruiter and enlist.All the best.

Since I grew up in America, my answer is going to be centered on American school lunches.I think that they can be improved in two ways: Being more nutritionally dense, and having children be more involved with the school lunch process.A lot of current American school lunches while being filling, lack vital nutrients, and are instead very sodium laden.“A 2008 analysis of school lunches by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded that American kids consume very few fruits and vegetables in their cafeterias—with potatoes accounting for a third of all vegetables consumed. IOM also found that kids were eating many refined grains and too much saturated fat and sodium. “How to Improve American School LunchesI would say this is a pretty accurate representation of a good to excellent American school lunch.Here's how school lunch in the US stacks up against what's served in the rest of the worldFrom my honest recollection, usually what would be served up regularly was square (never, circular, or triangular, mind you, this is very important, I can not emphasize this enough), square pizza. Some type of “different dish”, and chicken nuggets. Well actually, my memory is starting to fail me now, so I will link to what the current menu this month for my old elementary school is.Not too bad, but there could be room for improvement, a lot of pizza, chicken nuggets, which is all well and good, but these, these ghastly things.Okay, I am aware this is kind of a weird video, but it is an authentic representation of what I, and many other kids, ate in middle school and high school.Now, recently, I saw a video on the school lunch system “Kyushoku” in Japan.I thought the differences in nutrition were staggering. The Japanese lunch had rice, vegetables, and even fresh fish, which are very nutritionally dense.In addition, many of the ingredients are fresh, and students are more involved in the process of making the school lunch.8th grade students visiting a domestic farm where their school orders some of their produce from. For their work experience, they are separating edamame for tomorrow’s kyushoku.Which brings me to my next point; I believe we can improve American school lunches by having the children be more involved in the process of making their own lunches.Here, the students all take turns serving each other lunch. I think this is a very respectful and polite thing to do for others.In addition, these students are also required to clean up after themselves, and tidy up the area after they are done eating. I think this is a great lesson in discipline, responsibility, but also Home Economics. Learning how to properly clean a kitchen or living area is an often overlooked, yet fundamental skill that kids should learn early on.Another thing I appreciate is how varied the school lunches are. This school tries not to offer the same dish twice in a month. Although, kids being kids, often would request their favorites over and over again, in this case being curry. I don’t know if all schools in Japan offer such a diversity in options, but I think this is also a beneficial gift to the students in developing their taste palates, and helping to keep their bodies strong and healthy.The importance placed on school lunches comes from the view that school lunches are a part of the curriculum themselves."Japan's standpoint is that school lunches are a part of education," Masahiro Oji, a government director of school health education, told the Washington Post in 2013, "not a break from it."Japan's mouthwatering school lunch program is a model for the rest of the worldI can’t help agree, because eating healthy helps increase your learning skills, as well as mood. Fully integrating healthy meals can help with all other aspects of school life, including concentration, happiness levels, and even socialization.The average cost of these lunches are about 2 dollars a meal. With the school covering staff and kitchen costs, and parents covering ingredients. If the parents are low-income and cannot afford the everyday costs, they must apply for social welfare meal plans at the school. The child will still receive the exact same meals as other kids. The screenshots from the previous video is actually of an average public school, not an exceptionally rich one either. In fact, this school is in the poorest of Tokyo’s wards.From this, we can assume the lunches shown above are of the bare minimum requirements for a proper kyushoku, as more well-to-do families often have more time and money to spend on improving their children’s schooling experiences.All-in-all, without spending more money, we can still improve our school lunches in America bya) Including more fresh, domestically grown produce and poultry into every meal.b) Including our students more in the lunchtime process, from farm to lunch table.What’s also ironic is that the Kyushoku system got official after 1946, when G.H.Q recommended systematic health education, and the school lunch program in Japanese schools.The Japanese government took note, and starting providing school lunch to 250,000 children in the Tokyo metropolitan area. This later expanded to all over Japan.Much funding at the time came from relief aid provided by foreign governments and charities. When Japan later regained full independence in 1951, the funding stopped. The Minister of Finance wanted to get terminate school lunch subsidies. However, this was strongly opposed by many people in Japan, and in 1954, school lunch law was enacted, with school lunch being a part of the school curriculum.So I think it’s very cool that Japan once took America’s advice and greatly improved their school lunches. And now America can take advice from our friends over in Japan, and we can all improve our school lunches together!Thank you. :)Anmitsu at Hatsune (初音) - Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman Episode 1Now please enjoy this refreshing photo of Anmitsu.

Hi,The preference order is to let you chose the force. If Army is your first preference then you will get the SSB call for Army.Sometimes, it also happens that you may have cleared the SSB but you were out of merit. This usually happens to Airforce cadets. In that case they could still join the academy by being an Army cadet. Airforce usually has the highest cutoff and if someone is unable to clear the cutoff for Airforce but he has enough marks to get in the merit of Army then he gets a call to join the academy as an Army cadet.Coming to the other part of the question, you can attend only one SSB. And this is the SSB which you will get the force which was ranked first in the preference order.Thanks for the A2A.
