- "When I qualified as a military engineer, the wise old colonel who gave me my insignias said: "When you get to the front line, you will feel fear, but remember this: never fear the enemy, never fear the danger, only fear letting down those who have gone before you."

of humor at a time of crisis often just lifts the mood and gets you focused on something else.

(d) And that is what leaders call adaptability: it takes very different qualities to command a platoon at war, which is a tactical activity, and run a major change program in a large organization, which has to do with a more strategic leadership.

judging the capability and competence of the people that they are giving the jobs to.

"Mars was warm enough to sustain lakes three billion years ago during the Hesperian Epoch, a period that was previously thought to be too cold and arid to sustain water on the surface, suggested a research published this January in the journal Geology. Dr Nicholas Warner, from the Department of Earth Science Engineering, said: "Most of the research on Mars has focused on its early history and the recent past. Scientists had largely overlooked the Hesperian Epoch as it was thought that Mars was then a frozen wasteland. Excitingly, our study now shows that this middle period in Mars’ history was much more dynamic than we previously imagined.""

(a) The passage alludes to three different intervals of time in Mars' history.
(b) During the Hesperian Epoch, Mars was too cold and arid, clearing the possibility of lakes existence.
(c) Scientists in general used to neglect Mars' Hesperian Epoch.
(d) Mars has not always been a frozen wasteland.
(e) The Hesperian Epoch dates to three billion years ago.

"Dr Molly Stevens and her team in the Department of Materials and the Institute of Biomedical Engineering moved one step closer to understanding how to grow replacement bones with stem cell technology in July 2009. Dr Stevens, whose study was published in the journal Nature Materials, compared the ‘bone-like’ material grown from three different, commonly used, clinically relevant cell types and discovered that the materials that were grown from mouse skull and bone marrow stem cells successfully mimicked many of the hallmarks of real bone. She says: “It brings us one step closer to developing materials that will have the highest chance of success when implanted into patients.”
