Connecting DNA to Disease Using BLAST
Author: Catherine Quist
Grade Level: 10th
Lesson Overview: Students are given a DNA sequence for a gene that was found to be expressed in a diseased tissue. Students transcribe and translate the sequence of DNA and perform a BLAST search against a database of known proteins to determine which protein their sequence encodes. They are then asked to make inferences as to the disease caused by the protein. The goal is to show students that genes encode proteins, which in turn can cause disease if mutated or function improperly. The students are also introduced to how to use BLAST, an authentic bioinformatics tool, to correctly identify a gene and its associated disease.
Learning Outcomes:
- Learning Performances: At the end of this lesson, students will understand the connection between DNA sequence, protein, protein function and disease. They will also know how to use the program BLAST to identify a gene and it's protein sequence, and then use this identification as the basis for inferring a patient is suffering from a particular disease.
> At the end of the activity students will be able to:
- 1. Transcribe and translate a DNA sequence
- 2. Use the internet and BLAST, a specialized database search engine, to identify the protein encoded by a certain DNA sequence.
- 3. Use Google to research a certain protein and the disease that can result from an abnormality in the protein
- Links to Michigan Standards:
- B4.2D Predict the consequences that changes in the DNA composition of particular genes may have on an organism (e.g., sickle cell anemia, other).
- B4.2f Demonstrate how the genetic information in DNA molecules provides instructions for assembling protein molecules adn that this is virtually the same mechanism for all life forms.
- B4.2g Describe the processes of replication, transcription, and translation and how they relate to each other in molecular biology.
Students' Prior Knowledge of Experience:
- Students should understand the structure of DNA and how it is abbreviated.
- Students should understand how DNA is transcribed to yield mRNA.
- Students should understand how mRNA is translated to yield protein.
- Students should understand how changes in the DNA composition affect its resuting protein sequence.
- Students should understand how changes in a protein sequence may affect an organism.
- Students should be familiar with using the internet, including how to use Google to find information and how to submit information to a server using a form.
Establishing Purpose: Unfortunately, most students fail to make the connection between DNA sequence, proteins, and protein function to sustain life. The goal of this activity is to allow students to discover that DNA sequences, while the A, T, G, and C's seem like non-sense, do in fact encode very important proteins that help us sustain life. They will also discover that some of these proteins are involved in causing diseases. In addition, they will have an authentic biomedical research experience. Using DNA chips researchers can infer that a gene sequence is over or under-expressed in a tissue. In order to make inferences about the role of the gene in a disease, the researcher will use the program BLAST to identify the protein associated with the gene. Next, the researcher performs a Google search to find out the disease associated with that protein. In this activity, the students will have an opportunity to engage in this process using the BLAST server that is used by researchers. Finally, this activity will give students an opportunity to practice the process of transcribing and translating a DNA sequence to yield its protein sequence.
Materials Needed:
1 DNA sequence per group
1 computer with an internet connection per group
Time required: 2 hours
Instructional Sequence:
- Introducing the Lesson:
- Activating Prior Knowledge with Questions:
2. What does DNA code for?
3. What is a gene? Where/how do we get genes?
4. Where are genes located?
5. Explain how DNA determines the traits of an organism. Use the words nucleotides, gene and protein in your answer.
6. What do you think can cause a genetic disease?
7. What will happen to an organism's homeostasis if a gene for an important protein becomes defective?
8. What would happen if an organism inherited a gene that coded for defective proteins?
- Establish links to the purpose of the lesson:
*** Give mini-lecture: Over the past decade, through large-scale genome and proteome sequencing efforts, such as the Human Genome Project, nucleotide and protein sequence databases have been filled with publicly available sequence data. Efforts to catalogue these sequences and associate them with functions and diseases have kept pace with sequencing efforts. As a result, today, when a biomedical researcher discovers a DNA or protein sequence in a tissue, he or she can run the program BLAST to compare the sequence to the publicly stored data in order to identify it by matching it to a sequence in the database. Using the database, the researcher will then retrieve its function and the associated disease. Today, we will use BLAST and Google to identify a gene sequence and it's associated disease.
- Body of the Lesson:
- The teacher tells the students that using DNA chips you have inferred that a gene sequence is differentially expressed in a patient's tissue. In order to figure out which disease is affecting the patient, you must first figure out which disease is associated with the gene. To do this you will first use the program BLAST to identify the protein associated with the gene. Next, you will perform a Google search to find out the disease associated with that protein.
** The teacher forms the students into seven groups, and gives each of the groups a DNA sequence to identify and to associate with a disease.
- File containing the DNA sequences:
- File containing a key with the protein sequence name, as well as the associated disease:
- Tell the students that each group is expected to report their findings at the end of the activity.
- The teacher also gives the students a worksheet:
*** Transcribing their DNA sequence to yield an mRNA sequence
- Translating the resulting mRNA sequence to yield a protein sequence
- Submitting their sequence to the BLAST server to yield a protein identification
- Using Google to find the disease associated with the protein
- Running BLAST and using Google to identify the disease associated with a DNA sequence directly
- Concluding the Lesson:
- Reporting Findings: Each group will report the name of their protein, along with the name of its associated disease. The group will also explain the relationship between the protein and the disease.
- Discussion: The teacher asks the students what they learned during the lab that they didn't already know, using the question to initiate a brief discussion.
Challenges in Carrying-out the Investigation:
- Students may have difficulty in using internet forms due to lack of experience and may need extra help.
- Students may have difficulty using Google to do searches due to lack of experience and may need extra help.
- Little instruction is provided as to how to BLAST the DNA sequence. As a result, students may have difficulty figuring out how to do nucleotide only BLAST. They may have trouble finding the gene location, or the associated disease, since the methods are not clearly laid out.
Assessing Student Understanding:
Included in the worksheet for the activity are a series of questions, which should be assigned as homework, that are designed to assess the students understanding of the connection between DNA sequence changes and disease, as well as their understanding of BLAST. In addition, the questions assess the student's understanding of the variety of contexts in which BLAST can be used by researchers:
This question asks the students to recall what they've learned about the relationship between genetic mutations and disease. To answer this question students need to describe how single nucleotide substitutions lead to single amino acid substitutions, which can alter protein function, leading to disease. They also need to describe how single nucleotide insertions and deletions, can result in new stop condons, resulting in truncated protein products, leading to disease.
- 1. Explain how changes in DNA coding sequence can lead to disease.
This question asks the students to explore the social implications of insurance companies knowing DNA sequence information. To answer this question students need to first assert that the knowledge of the DNA sequence can predict certain diseases, which may lead to insurance companies not providing health insurance or life insurance for people with certain DNA sequences.
- 2. What do you think the ramifications are for insurance companies knowing DNA sequences of individuals?
This question asks students to make a connection between the relationship between DNA and disease and an imporant issue in the news today, the ethics of gene patenting. The answer to this question is that pharmaceutical companies are patenting gene sequences, such as BRCA1, because they can be used to treat diseases, such as breast cancer.
- 3. Why do you think pharmaceutical companies are patenting gene sequences?
This question asks students to extend their knowledge of the BLAST procedure to a new situation. The answer is that you'd BLAST the gene against the human nucleotide database.
- 4. If you were a scientist working with mice and discovered a gene that had something to do with obesity in mice, describe how you might find out if there is a similar gene that is known to exist in humans?
This question asks students to contemplate the relationship between BLAST specificity and the length of a sequence. The answer is that a longer sequence would find more specific matches. To demonstrate this, you could generate results for varying sequence lengths.
- 5. If you had more nucleotides in your sequence to enter into BLAST (say 1000 instead of 100), do you think it would find more specific or less specific matches? Explain your answer. How would you conduct an experiment using the the BLAST server to provide evidence for your answer.
This question asks students to generalize their knowledge of the applicability of BLAST. The answer is that the scientist should BLAST the sequence against the database of all known nucleotide sequences.
- 6. How would scientists all over the world check to see what a newly sequenced region of DNA is similar to? What do you think they do with the new DNA sequence if it is unknown? Explain
This question asks the student to understand that BLAST does not look for perfect matches. BLAST can still be used in the event of single letter mutations, in fact, this is it's real utility. To demonstrate this, you'd mutate a sequence before BLASTing it and demonstrate that it gets the same hits. This is important because scientists need to be able to find the identity of mutated sequences.
- 7. Describe how mutations affect BLAST results. How would you conduct an experiment using the sequences you've been given and the BLAST server to answer. Why is this important? Explain.
This question pushes the student to understand how BLAST can be used to study evolution. The answer is that a scientist can compare the number of matches between the genes from both organisms. More matches means the organisms are more closely related.
- 8. How could a scientist use BLAST to get a rough estimate of how closely related two organisms are?
This question asks the student to infer whether it is better to use BLAST with protein or DNA sequences. The protein sequences are more informative and are less likely to yield random matches.
- 9. Does running BLAST using nucleotides or amino acids yield more specific matches? Explain.
Student Resources:
- The course textbook Biology: The Dynamics of Life, published by McGraw Hill: Glencoe Science, copyright 2004.
- BLAST Tutorial at NCBI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Education/BLASTinfo/query_tutorial.html
Cautions: Students should be reminded not to use the internet to access sites that are not relevant to the activity and that accesssing inappropriate sites will be grounds for immediate referral.

The authors examined the central hypothesis that students' early perceptions of support and sense of engagement in math classes and math activities strongly influence the broadening or narrowing of their math interest. The focus was on the first wave of qualitative data collected from 5th-, 7th-, and 9th-grade students during the 2007–2008 academic year as part of a longitudinal study. Findings indicate the importance of using group work and extrinsic motivation in middle school math classes to broaden interest; peer classroom behavior was often a detractor of math interest.

My feet have walked in different shoes,
I have left a mark upon the land with feet.
On sidewalks as a child, footsteps much smaller,
Imprints not seen, back in time where I dreamed.
Footsteps of existence, invisible in some ways,
What we leave of ourselves, soul and spirit of no decay.

Watching the water as it flows downstream,
I walk its path on either side.
As the river turns swaying from side to side,
The rushing water crashes and throws itself at me,
As I make my way along.
On my journey past trees and hills,
Notice do I the bright sun and big white clouds passing me by.
Follow, follow the river on a course chosen by itself,
Onward, downward until such a place where the water lies still.
I follow the river to a resting spot, now it is time for this soul to sleep.

Men crumble, sins they can not hide, they run,
From the expressions on their faces, aging lines of haunt,
One of them runs, the other chases, they both run together,
One tries to hide his guilt and pain, the other chases to forget.
Shadow riders, at different times they are the rider, the other prey,
They are from a time of civil unrest, they kill and then die in a place for them.
It takes its toll, the hunt and the run, tears from men dry up in the sun,
Nothing more to be said, two dying men soon would be dead, blood on their hands,
Ones knife in the desert sand, a gun left on a deserted land,
Walk in a different direction, shadow riders are never seen again.

To everywhere, I start from here, where I stand I'll leave behind,
Watch my steps and join with me, I'll walk from here and travel far.
I'll travel by bicycle across the land, across the open road,
Around the world, around the world, follow me so very far.
In a driven car from here to there, into the sun I'll make it there,
Follow me as I wander through country of never ending horizon.
The sounding whistle of a rumbling train catches my eye,
Take my hand and jump into a boxcar, ride, we will ride.
Across the hills, over the bridge, and through tunnels of darkness,
Faster we move to where it is we travel, follow me, follow me.
I am the captain, I will be your guide as we journey under gods sky,
Soon we must part from this locomotive driven by the man who cries.
Down a grassy slope, we walk many miles with the wind at our backs,
In the distance it sits, a giant balloon waiting under the stars of the night.
Follow me, tired as we make our way through the trees, into a dream,
It stands so high as we board it, climbing up, up beyond the clouds.
Drift with me into the wind and hang onto my arm as we vanish,
This is the best of life, down, down we fall slowly to the ground.
Now take my hand and get ready as we begin a flight through the night,
Fly with me above the world, hold on tight, we're in heaven tonight.
This journey takes us on a beautiful boat dancing on the sea, follow me,
Around the world, follow me, an adventure for two, not many will ever see.

Guidelines for contacting teachers and students during the school day.
Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year! We are very excited to be preparing for another successful year at Jim Thorpe Fundamental.
I am pleased to announce several new members to our team. Karen Knecht is our new Assistant Principal. She brings many years of experience and knowledge to the school. We also have two new teachers, Nieves Dominguez, our new first grade teacher and Zachary Metz, our new third grade teacher. We are excited to have them on board. We have a dedicated staff that works hard to meet the individual needs of all students and maintain personal connections with their families.
We invite you to become an active participant in our school community through volunteering, joining our PTA, or attending and supporting school events. Research clearly supports that when parents/guardians participate and are involved in their child's education, there is a greater likelihood of academic success for the child.
We truly believe that communication is the key to a successful educational experience. Together, we will continue to improve the quality of our school community and provide the best for the scholars of Jim Thorpe Fundamental School. Education is a partnership between the school, students, parents/guardians, and community. All children are more successful when we work as a team to achieve educational goals.
Karen and I have an open door policy, and we welcome your questions, concerns, and input at any time.
Teresa Stetler Karen Knecht

Marshall FX iPhone-friendly cans launch with mic and remote
Marshall has announced two new products in its headphone lineup, the FX Major on-ear headphones and the FX Minor in-ear, that claim to play nicely with your iDevice as they come with Apple certification.
They are both also equipped with volume control and mic so you can liten to your tunes without fear of missing a call or having to fumble around in your pocket or bag for the volume rocker. The proprietary chip inside the microphone and remote will also allow for pausing and playing of music and the FX Minor will come with a range of bud sizes with a special EarClick system that should fsecure nicely in the ear.
The Marshall FX Major headphones are described by the company as a real workhorse, with comfy padding for all-day use and the headband made out of the same vinyl used in Marshall amplifiers. Not only this, but they are easily foldable when not in use.
The FX Major will come with a 6.3mm jack for use with an amplifier and will cost £120, whilst the FX Minor will set you back £50. You can find out more here.

Health cuts hit Cairns homeless
Homelessness services in Cairns have been hit by Queensland Health's latest job cuts with a specialist outreach group to be disbanded as part of the latest restructure.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
The Homeless Health Outreach Team supports rough sleepers and the long-term homeless providing medical treatment for people with mental illnesses.
The service's loss is part of the Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Board's announcement on Monday that more than 200 staff will lose their jobs.
An employee with the outreach team contacted by ABC Far North declined to be interviewed on Thursday night but says staff were "reeling" from the news.
Through the service, clients are treated for disorders such as schizophrenia and depression and are referred to other programs for further assistance.
The Together Union's Kevin O'Sullivan says at least three employees from the outreach team will be made redundant.
The future of the ten other employees he says is uncertain.
"They've been told very little," Mr O'Sullivan says. "There's been no consultation with the clinicians and the staff."
"This is a specialised area and they spend many years training to provide this kind of service to the community.
"Many people with mental health issues are the most vulnerable in our community. They're the ones who probably complain least."
The Queensland Nurses Union's Kaylene Turnbull says she expects some of the five specialist nurses in the outreach team will move on soon.
"There's bound to be some that are effectively lost," she says.
"Some of these nurses have been there for 30 years.
"They have a wealth of knowledge and an amazing rapport with people in the community.
"It's just devastating to lose these services when we know how badly needed they are."
Ms Turnbull says the nurses can take a redunancy, or request to remain in the system and see if a position can be found for them.
If a suitable role cannot be found within four months she says they will be retrenched.
Outreach nurses working on the streets of Cairns with people suffering from mental health disorders should be considered "frontline" employees Ms Turnbull says.
"These are nurses out there in their community every day working with clients," she says.
"They are not sitting behind a desk or in high management positions. They are out there on the ground providing services."
In 2011 the Queensland Council of Social Services estimated 1400 homeless people lived in Cairns.

The fearful unbelief is unbelief in yourself.
Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881)
Contributed by: Zaady
The true university of these days is a collection of books.
Source: The Hero as a Man of Letters.
It is the first of all problems for a man (or woman) to find out what kind of work he (or she) is to do in this universe.
Having a purpose in life, throw into your work such strength of mind and muscle as God has given you.
Of all the acts of man, repentance is the most divine.

A great man shows his greatness by the way he treats little men.
Let a man try faithfully, manfully to be right, he will daily grow more and more right. It is at the bottom of the condition on which all men have to cultivate themselves.
Clean undeniable right, clear undeniable might: either of these once ascertained puts an end to battle. All battle is a confused experiment to ascertain one and both of these.
Over the times thou hast no power. . . . Solely over one man thou hast quite absolute power. Him redeem and make honest.
Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.

I yearn for the day when the wholesale hatred of Muslims in America will seem awkward. When it will be remembered as something common to a particular time in history. When I was kid growing up in the fifties it was still ok to hate the Japanese. They had been an enemy in World War II. And the U.S. government through the use of propaganda films had made that hatred into an art form. As a country, we woke up one day a decade or so later and wondered how it was we shipped almost the entire Japanese American population off to internment camps for the duration of the war. Catholics were once hated in America. As reported in The New York Times last week, the building of the first Catholic Church in New York City was vehemently opposed by the Protestants downtown. Catholics were untrustworthy papists who were a threat to democracy. It was time when people were proud of their prejudices. Sound familiar?

I'm using EF4.1 with MVC3 and I need an override to prevent EF from creating a db if it doesn't exist. Instead of creating a new db I would like to catch the error and report that the initial catalog (the database name) is invalid in the connect string.
However, during development I would like to allow for updates for new classes/properties to create according tables/cols in the database.
Is there a best practice or pattern here?

Of the many lessons drawn from over seven years of wartime experience, one that stands out prominently is the critical need to improve our ability to exercise the cognitive aspects of battle command-understanding and visualizing.1
-Lieutenant General William B. Caldwell
Our Army, as part of a Joint interdependent force, continues to engage in full spectrum operations around the world. Several global trends-such as failing and failed states, resource demands, and proliferations of weapons of mass destruction-make it likely that future decades will be characterized by persistent conflict. Protracted confrontations among state, nonstate, and individual actors that are increasingly willing to use violence to achieve their political and ideological ends appear certain.
Whether reacting to natural disasters or confronting armed enemies, Army forces will continue to conduct operations in complex, ever-changing, and uncertain operational environments.
Operational experience and lessons, transformational changes, and recent revisions to Joint and Army doctrine now demand major revisions to Field Manual (FM) 5-0, The Operations Process. Of the many lessons learned from wartime experience since 2001, the need to improve our ability to exercise the "thinking" aspects of command and control stands out.2 The 2010 edition of FM 5-0 represents a significant evolution in Army doctrine focusing on the cognitive aspects of command and control.
The revised FM 5-0 describes how commanders-supported by their staffs, subordinate commanders, and other partners-exercise command and control during the conduct of full spectrum operations. In operations, commanders face thinking and adaptive enemies, changing civilian perceptions, and differing agendas of various organizations in an operational area.
Commanders can never predict with certainty how enemies or civilians will act and react or how events may develop. During execution, leaders must continuously anticipate, learn, and adapt to overcome the dynamics of changing circumstances and adaptive adversaries. The best outcomes require leaders to develop holistic understanding of the environment, frame problems, and develop approaches to solve or manage those problems. From such understanding, leaders can develop simple, flexible plans that communicate their vision and intent by focusing on the results they expect to achieve. Commanders must encourage continuous collaboration across the force to better understand the situation as they adjust plans or reframe problems throughout the conduct of an operation.
Making the Manual
This revision of FM 5-0 began in parallel with the revision of FM 3-0, Operations, in 2006. As part of the development strategy for FM 3-0, the Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate (CADD) staffed a series of issue papers to a broad audience of military and civilian organizations to stimulate debate and gain consensus concerning the Army's direction for its capstone doctrine on operations. Topics ranged from the Army's operational concept of full spectrum operations to the construction of the warfighting functions (intelligence, movement and maneuver, fires, protection, sustainment, and command and control). Feedback from these issue papers revealed gaps to include insufficient doctrine on assessment, a need to better describe how stability operations are integrated into full spectrum operations, guidelines for command post organization and operations, and an Army position on so-called "effects-based" operations.3 These shortfalls led to the development of Field Manual Interim (FMI) 5-0.1, The Operations Process, published in 2006.
This interim field manual filled a significant gap in doctrine until the ideas in FM 3-0 and FM 5-0 could be fully examined, evaluated, and published. FMI 5-0.1 provided a basis for the command and control chapter of FM 3-0 as well as the foundation for the revision of FM 5-0.
During this period, the Army also examined concepts to assist commanders in understanding complex, ill-structured problems and ways to visualize approaches to solve those problems. Collectively known as "design," several organizations-such as Training and Doctrine Command's (TRADOC) Army Concepts Integration Center, the School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS), and the Army War College-explored ways to incorporate the theories and philosophy of design into practical application for military operations. In January 2008, TRADOC Pamphlet 525-5-500, Commander's Appreciation and Campaign Design, captured the latest ideas of how design could enhance command and control. Simultaneously, SAMS developed and began teaching its "Art of Design" curriculum that addressed subjects ranging from the theoretical basis of design to practi-
cal application in operations through three formal exercises. Both the TRADOC pamphlet and the work from SAMS significantly influenced the incorporation of design into the Army's doctrine on the exercise of command and control.4
With significant collaborative effort over the last three years, the Army developed and staffed three drafts of FM 5-0. The manual was also shared with the Joint staff, combatant commands, and selected interagency organizations, including the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development. CADD hosted three action-officer-level councils of colonels in an effort to synthesize and integrate over 3,000 comments from various organizations over three drafts to coalesce as much expert knowledge, thought, and experience as possible. The meetings provided a separate forum for fostering debate, gaining consensus, and resolving critical and important contributions from reviewing agencies prior to the TRADOC commander's review and approval conference held in December 2009.
What is Changing and Why'
One of the first changes readers will note in the new FM 5-0 is its title. Changed from Army Planning and Orders Production to The Operations Process, the new title reflects significant modification to the material covered in FM 5-0. While retaining details of planning and planning products, the revised FM 5-0 expands the scope of the manual to include doctrine on the exercise of command and control throughout the operations process. This change is intended to better describe the dynamic relationship among all the activities of the operations process-not just planning.
The operations process is an organizational learning model consisting of the major command and control activities performed during operations: planning, preparing for, executing, and continuously assessing the operation. Commanders drive the operations process through battle command. The activities of the operations process may be sequential-especially at the start of an operation. However, once operations have begun, a headquarters often conducts parts of each activity simultaneously and cycles through the activities of the operations process continuously as the situation requires.
While simple in concept (plan, prepare, execute, and assess), the operations process is dynamic in execution. Commanders and staffs use the opera- tions process to integrate numerous activities consisting of hundreds of tasks executed throughout the headquarters. Commanders must organize and train their staffs to think critically and creatively as they plan, prepare, and execute operations simultaneously while continually assessing progress.
The Army's model for the exercise of command and control through the operations process is not new. The 2001 edition of FM 3-0 and the 2003 edition of FM 6-0 each addressed battle command and the operations process in detail. The 2005 edition of FM 5-0 described how planning fit within the operations process. What is new, however, is a greater emphasis of the commander's role during the conduct of operations and a more detailed description of the interrelationships among the commander, staff, subordinate commanders, and other partners in the exercise of command and control. FM 5-0 now provides doctrine on the operations process as a whole, a chapter on design, and a chapter for each activity of the operations process. The appendixes describe tactics, techniques, and procedures for organizing the headquarters to conduct the operations process, using the military decision making process (MDMP), conducting troop-leading procedures, and writing operation plans and orders.
Building on Full Spectrum Operations
The 2005 edition of FM 5-0 focused on offensive and defensive operations both in examples and in emphasis. To better account for full spectrum operations, the revised FM 5-0 incorporates the central idea of full spectrum operations through- out the manual. The new manual emphasizes the importance of understanding the civil aspects of the operational environment in relationship to the mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available, and time. FM 5-0 now stresses the fundamental that, during operations, commanders continually consider and combine stability tasks focused on the populations with offensive and defensive tasks focused on the enemy during planning and execution. It describes ways to develop plans for full spectrum operations using lines of effort and modifies the Army's operation order to better account for civil considerations and stability or civil support tasks.
The chapter on execution describes how commanders use forces and other resources to mass effects at decisive points and times. It describes how commanders seek to seize and retain the initiative, build and maintain momentum, and exploit success. Additionally, the command and control philosophy of mission command and acceptance of prudent risk is addressed in detail in the execution chapter and throughout the new FM 5-0.
Incorporating Design into Army Doctrine
We often fail not because we fail to solve the problem we face, but because we fail to face the right problem.
-Russell L. Ackoff
Full spectrum operations conducted within a population are effective only when commanders understand the issues within the context of that population. Understanding context and then deciding how, if, and when to act is a product of design and integral to the art of command. The revised FM 5-0 describes the practice of design throughout the
operations process.
Design is a methodology for applying critical and creative thinking to understand, visualize, and describe complex, ill-structured problems and develop approaches to solve them. Design underpins the exercise of battle command within the operations process, guiding the iterative and often cyclic application of understanding, visualizing, and describing. Design assists with the conceptual aspects of planning to include understanding the operational environment and framing the problem, visualizing a desired end state, and conceptualizing a broad operational approach to solve or manage a problem situation. Commanders describe their understanding and visualization in a design concept that drives more detailed planning. Design is practiced continuously throughout the operations process. As commanders learn during execution, they update their understanding, modify their visualization, and describe their visualization to modify plans. In some instances, commanders may go beyond modifying the basic plan. They may decide to reframe the problem and develop a new operational approach resulting in an entirely new plan.
The revised FM 5-0 devotes a chapter to design that describes the fundamentals of design and offers a design methodology. Design is also addressed throughout the manual to include chapters on the fundamentals of the operations process, planning, execution, and assessment. In addition, the revised appendix on the MDMP describes how design interfaces with the MDMP.
Other Changes
In addition to expanding the scope of the manual to include all the activities of the operations process and incorporating the concept of design, other significant changes in the new FM 5-0 include-
AcaEUR"A? Replacing command and control techniques and products based on the battlefield operation systems to the warfighting functions. This affects several areas, to include organizing the staff for operations and the formats for operation orders and their annexes.
AcaEUR"A?Emphasizing and accounting for how commanders use the five Army information tasks in shaping the operational environment.
AcaEUR"A?Describing how commanders organize their staff into command posts, command post cells, working groups, and boards to conduct the operations process.
AcaEUR"A?Updating the MDMP and operation order format to better account for design, full spectrum operations, the warfighting functions, and the five Army information tasks.
Fundamentals of the Operations Process
In addition to the principles of operations found in FM 3-0, the doctrine that FM 5-0 prescribes is built on six fundamentals:
AcaEUR"A?Commanders drive the operations process through battle command.
AcaEUR"A?Situational understanding is fundamental to effective command and control.
AcaEUR"A?Critical and creative thinking aids in understanding and decision making throughout the operations process.
AcaEUR"A?Commanders continually consider and combine tasks focused on the populations (stability or civil support operations) as well as those tasks focused on enemy forces (offensive and defensive operations).
AcaEUR"A?Mission command is the preferred method of exercising command and control.
AcaEUR"A?Continuous assessment enables organizational learning and adaptation throughout the conduct of operations.
Commanders drive the operations process through battle command. A key theme in the new FM 5-0 is the central role of the commander in the operations process. While staffs perform essential functions that amplify the effectiveness of operations, commanders play the most important role in the operations process through battle command. Battle command is the art and science of understanding, visualizing, describing, directing, leading, and assessing operations to accomplish missions.
The relationships among the activities of battle command and the activities of the operations process are dynamic. All activities of battle command occur in planning, preparation, execution, and assessment, but take on different emphasis throughout the conduct of operations. For example, during planning, commanders focus their activities on understanding, visualizing, and describing. During execution, commanders often focus on directing, leading, and assessing while improving their understanding and modifying their visualization.
One of the major changes to the Army's model for battle command was the addition of the activity of "understanding" in the 2008 edition of FM 3-0.6 The new FM 5-0 emphasizes the importance of developing and maintaining understanding throughout the operations process. Commanders collaborate and dialog with superior, adjacent, and subordinate commanders, and other military and civilian organizations within the area of operations to build and maintain their understanding. They also circulate throughout their areas of operations as often as possible, talking to subordinate commanders, Soldiers, and members of other military and civilian organizations as they observe operations for themselves. Commanders continuously update their understanding as the operation progresses and adjust their visualization of the operation as required. Commanders use their running estimate and the running estimates of the staff and subordinate commanders to assist them with understanding and visualization.
Situational understanding is fundamental to effective command and control. Throughout the operations process, commanders (supported by their staffs, subordinate commanders, and other partners) seek to build and maintain their situational understanding-the product of applying analysis and judgment to relevant information and knowledge-to facilitate their decision making. Situational understanding is essential for commanders in establishing the situation's context, developing effective plans, assessing operations, and making quality decisions during execution. Commanders and staffs must continually work to maintain their situational understanding and work through periods of reduced understanding as the situation evolves.
As commanders develop their situational under- standing, they see patterns emerge, dissipate, and reappear in their operational environment. This helps them direct their own forces' actions with respect to other friendly forces and partners, the enemy, the terrain, and the population. While complete understanding is the ideal for planning and decision making, it rarely exists. Commanders must accept they will often have to act despite significant gaps in their understanding.
Collaboration and dialog assist in building learning organizations and developing a shared understanding of the situation. Throughout operations, commanders, subordinate commanders, staffs, and other partners collaborate and dialog actively, sharing and questioning information, perceptions, and ideas to better understand situations and make decisions. Collaboration is two or more people or organizations working together toward common goals by sharing knowledge and building consensus. Dialogue is a way to collaborate that involves the candid exchange of ideas or opinions among participants that encourages frank discussions in areas of disagreement. Effective collaboration and dialog leads to increased understanding of the situation to include the problem or problems at hand.
Critical and creative thinking aids in under- standing and decision making throughout the operations process. To assist commanders in understanding and decision making, commanders and staff apply critical and creative thinking techniques throughout the operations process.
Critical thinking is purposeful, reflective, and self-regulating judgment to determine the meaning and significance of what is observed or expressed. Critical thinking involves determining the meaning and significance of what is observed or expressed. It also involves determining whether adequate justification exists to accept conclusions as true, based on a given inference or argument. Critical thinking is key to understanding situations, identifying problems, finding causes, arriving at justifiable conclusions, making quality plans, and assessing the progress of operations.
Creative thinking involves creating something new or original. Often, leaders face unfamiliar problems or old problems requiring new solutions. Creative thinking leads to new insights, novel approaches, fresh perspectives, and new ways of understanding and conceiving things. Leaders look at different options to solve problems. Creative thinking includes using adaptive approaches (drawing from previous similar circumstances) or innovative approaches (coming up with completely new ideas.
Critical and creative thinking are fundamental to understanding an operational environment, framing problems, and developing operational approaches to solve or manage those problems.
Commanders continually consider and combine tasks focused on the populations (stability or civil support operations) and tasks focused on enemy forces (offensive and defensive operations). Military operations involve more than combat between armed opponents. Winning battles and engagements is critical but not sufficient for success. Shaping the civil situation is just as important to long-term success. Because of this, commanders continually consider and combine stability tasks focused on the population with offensive and defensive tasks focused on the enemy during planning and execution. For homeland security, commanders focus operations on civil support.
Mission command is the preferred method of exercising command and control. Because of the complex, uncertain, and ever changing nature of operations, mission command-as opposed to detailed command-is the preferred method for exercising command and control. Mission command is the conduct of military operations through decentralized execution based on mission orders.
Successful mission command demands that subordinate leaders at all echelons exercise disciplined initiative, acting aggressively and independently within the commander's intent. Prerequisites for effective mission command are the use of mission orders; full familiarity with the mission, commander's intent, and concept of operations; and mutual trust and understanding between commanders and subordinates. FM 5-0 describes the philosophy of mission command as it applies to all activities of the operations process.
Continuous assessment enables organizational learning and adaptation throughout the conduct of operations. Assessment is a continuous activity of the operations process and a primary feedback mechanism that enables the command as a whole to learn and adapt. Assessment is also an activity of battle command. Plans are based on imperfect understanding and assumptions about how the commander expects a situation to evolve.
Sometimes results fail to meet expectations or the situation evolves in a manner that was not anticipated, including unanticipated success. In these cases, the commander determines whether the results are due to a failure in implementing the plan (execution) or if the plan and its underlying logic were flawed. Continuous assessment helps commanders recognize shortcomings in the plan and changes in the situation. In those instances when assessment reveals minor variances from the commander's visualization, commanders adjust plans as required.
In those instances when assessment reveals a significant variance from the commander's original visualization, commanders reframe the problem and develop an entirely new plan as required.
The Way Ahead
As part of the effort to inculcate the doctrine in FM 5-0 across the Army, the Combined Arms Center established a doctrine, education, and training working group. The purpose of this working group is to reduce the period of time between doctrine production and its use by the generating and operating force. The Command and General Staff College is leading the effort to ensure topics in FM 5-0 are sufficiently addressed in both the officer and noncommissioned officer educations systems. The Combined Arms Center is leading the effort to ensure that training at the combat training enters is updated to include topics addressed in FM 5-0. The Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate is developing an FM 5-0 interactive media study guide to assist in the self-study of the operations process. In addition, the Combined Arms Center put together a mobile training team to inform and educate units across the Army concerning doctrine on the operations process. The revised FM 5-0 resulted from a significant intellectual collaborative effort from across the Army.
The revised manual provides a starting point for Army leaders in the exercise of command and control during operations. It establishes a common frame of reference and intellectual tools Army leaders use to plan, prepare for, execute, and assess operations.
By establishing a common approach and language for conducting command and control, doctrine promotes mutual understanding and enhances effectiveness. The doctrine in this new manual is a guide for action rather than a set of fixed rules. While it provides an authoritative guide for leaders, it requires original applications adapted to circumstances. In operations, effective leaders possess the ability to spot when and where doctrine, training, or even their past experience no longer fit the situation, and then adapt accordingly.

I haven't 'always dreamed of being a writer.' In fact I only started writing short stories about 18 months ago. I initially assumed this was the result of some blow to the head I don't remember receiving, but almost two years on the symptoms remain. Nothing I have ever done before has brought me such joy, terror, frustration or satisfaction. I love it. It has turned my world upside down and inside out. In an attempt to make some sort of sense of this madness, I did a couple of short courses earlier this year (Writer's Workshop, City University) which were really useful. To date I have one abandoned story I can't finish, two that I have 'finished' in the sense I have concluded them, though doubtless they need more editing, and another one on the go. That's all really. I've had people besides my mates and my mum say they like what I do, but there are tonnes of rookie errors too. I'd like to join you because I find the criticism and encouragement of peers helpful.
I expect people to be honest, constructive and considerate. I want to know what's good and what's less good, and I want to hear people's suggestions on how I can improve on the weaknesses in my work. I appreciate it when people can leave aside their differences in taste and focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the work on its own terms, though I know this is difficult. If I'm honest I think people should really read your work on the page rather than hear it out loud. Unless you're writing scripts of course, which I'm not. I find people give a thorough, considered response when they have to read something and appraise it in writing, and I'm not certain people's initial responses on hearing something will be quite so constructive, as it's harder to hold the work in mind without it being physically there in front of you. However I'm willing to give this a go and see if it works for me - I value any feedback I don't have to pay for!

The last time we moved was four years ago, and we were moving into a bigger place than we previously lived in. That made it easier to put things in a corner until we wanted to deal with them, and still have space to live and function.
Our recent move that was admittedly a bit rushed, was to a smaller place. Because it was rushed (due to service elevator availability) it was somewhat unorganized and I didn't have time to purge as I was packing. If I wanted to get everything on the moving truck and have some of my husband's friends help with moving all of it, I had one day to throw it in a box. I had no time for sorting things into keep/donate/trash piles.
That is the worst feeling — packing things up that you wanted to go through and get rid of. Instead I had more stuff to move, more to play box Tetris with in our new place, and I'm still downsizing. I probably got rid of 30-40% off our kitchen/entertaining items. Stuff I just never used — big platters, cheese boards, ice buckets, martini glasses, my juicer (I use my blender). I got rid of all of my magazines. Downsized my home office probably 50% — old taxes, old holiday cards, office supplies I don't need/use.
I had already gone through my Life Edit process for my wardrobe (which I basically am constantly doing) BUT I had 7 shopping bags full of clothes to sell. I've sold two of the seven and I just keep taking the bags to different resale shops until it's all gone! Wish I would have done that earlier for sure. We also had to get rid of a lot of our big furniture. That was painful. I loved all of my furniture, but I think it all went to really happy homes.
We already love our new place so much more than our old one (see sneak peeks on my snapchat, user: megbiram). Even though our old place was 250 square feet bigger (we were spoiled) it was in a sleepy part of DC. Now we are in a busier younger part of DC where we live in a pet-friendly building with people our own age. We can walk to bars and restaurants and have three grocery stores within four blocks of our building (one is across the street!).
I learned a lot from this move. And if you haven't moved for a while, sometimes you forget things, so let me enlighten you if you are moving soon. Continue reading…

I always dislike Republican candidates, and I knew that their core was comprised of crazy people, but even knowing that, I still couldn't have foreseen that they would nominate Trump, who we now know for certain, may literally be the worst man in America, and uniquely unqualified for the Presidency in literally EVERY respect. He truly is a narcissistic sociopath and I don't think most people truly understand the implication of his clear personality disorder - that he is an absolutely bottomless pit, a black hole of attention seeking, and that his entire life is animated solely by that principle, and that he can and does invent his own delusional reality in which he IS that smart and that great, as narcissists are preoccupied with fantasies of perfection, and he WILL force others around him to live in his distorted reality, or face the wrath of his narcissistic rage. When they reflect his distortion back at him, it gives it strength and makes it "true" and this is the true essence of pathological narcissism; the search for people from whom to extract attention and who will willingly reflect back at the narcissist the reality in which he wants to live. And it is at this point that we should remember that Narcissus was not truly in love with himself; he was in love with his REFLECTION, and that is even more sad, because the reflection is ephemeral, it is not real, it cannot be touched, and it can never occupy the real space that we all live in.
In Trump, there is nothing else there, no inner life, no philosophies, no musings, no joy in anything but self-love, just self-aggrandizement at all costs. This is truly, truly disturbing for ANYONE, let alone a presidential candidate. People want to assign empathy to narcissists, because they just can't believe anyone could be so cruel and so invested in an obviously false reality, but there it is. If they could control themselves, they wouldn't be narcissists. Trump will continue to seek attention and will continue to lash out at ANYONE who challenges him, and will never back off of his delusion that HE alone is the perfect example of man, and knowing this, he can NEVER, EVER become president.

White dude here, voted for Sanders in New York, but after the convention, all in for Hillary - the parade of endorsements, from luminaries of all walks, and many, many ordinary lives that she has had a hand in improving, it was as perfect a convention as it could have been. The endorsements were heartfelt, the impact clearly great on many people, and their admiration and loyalty to her for what she did for them was obviously genuine. I was joking that if even ten percent of what she is said to have accomplished in that convention is true, she may just be the best person alive. And it goes without saying that the graceful way she has handled the deplorable and vicious attacks on her character for more than 20 years speaks volumes about her composure and her levelheadedness and even her capacity for forgiveness. The "Fight Song" theme about taking back her life, and not caring whether anyone believes, it just fit really well and I was proud of her, honest to God proud, of her and of us for what we are on the precipice of doing. I found it all very persuasive, personally. And I thought her acceptance speech was really great, and it really hit me in that moment just how meaningful this actually is. There is no chance in hell that Hillary Clinton is going to mess up being the first female president, it is simply too important, and if anything, I'm convinced that she actually might be a pretty great president, and that seeing a woman handle the role will actually change our very perception of what being the president can mean. That's my take, anyway.
