In this research paper, I attempt to construct a consistent, malleable conceptualization of the contemporary drone. I draw on a wide variety of academic papers, articles, opinion pieces, and sources - The Intercept, Donna Harraway in the Feminist Studies journal, Pew Research Center etc.
The Enemy Within: United States news framing of the Boston bombingsAlice C Woodward
A research project studying US news coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings on 15th April 2013. The study compares coverage following the initial attacks to coverage following the release of the identity of the perpetrators, exploring racial profiling in the US press and how America's patriotism is conveyed in articles.
Companies constantly search for ways to improve internal communications and collaboration. It's a problem that most companies struggle with, but can be overcome.

Philosophy has always been concerned with human emotions and f.docxrandymartin91030
Philosophy has always been concerned with human emotions and feelings. In recent years the psychologist and science journalist Daniel
Goleman has researched and popularized the concept of “emotional intelligence.” For this assignment you will write a research-based
essay that explores this question:
What role does philosophy have to play in cultivating “emotional intelligence” in people?
Your essay should reflect clear understanding of how philosophy has understood emotions, the concept of emotional intelligence, and
the role philosophy might play today in cultivating emotional intelligence.
Your essay should be a minimum of 1250 words and include reference to your text and at least five scholarly sources. Scholarly sources
like books and journal articles are identifiable by their authors (who hold graduate-level academic credentials and are often based at
educational and/or research institutions) and the publishers of their work (academic journals or institutional websites). Wikipedia and
other online encyclopedias are not scholarly sources. All sources used, including videos, should be cited using the MLA or APA format.
For example, the following article is an acceptable academic source retrieved online:
http://www.viterbo.edu/analytic/Vol%2021%20no.%202/emotional%20intelligence.pdf
Videos that feature Daniel Goleman addressing emotional intelligence are acceptable sources for developing an understanding of this
concept. Here are two helpful examples:
http://on.aol.com/video/learn-about-emotional-intelligence-290923139
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeJ3FF1yFyc
Videos on the Daniel Goleman website are also good sources:

The following criteria will be used to grade your essay:
Composition - 6 points
Understanding - 6 points
Thinking - 6 points
Personal Relevance, Self-Awareness, and Application - 6 points
Use of Scholarly Sources - 6 points

Epistemic communities are informal networks of knowledge-based experts who influence decision-makers in defining issues they face, identifying different solutions, and evaluating results. Epistemic communities have the greatest influence in conditions of political uncertainty and visibility, usually following a crisis or triggering event. Counterintelligence is primarily considered an analytical discipline, focusing on the study of intelligence services. The basis of all counterintelligence activities is the study of individual intelligence services, an analytical process to understand the behavior of foreign entities (formal mission, internal and external policy, history and myths within the entity, the people who compose it).

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Hayden’s book consists of nine chapters that describe his decision making and lessons learned from
1999 to 2014. This book also contributes to the literature of intelligence and is beneficial to both the
intelligence practitioner and intelligence scholars.
David Priess provided an overview of his book by describing the history and evolution of the President’s
Daily Brief. The book details how each President used or did not use the PDB, as well as how the format
and scope of the PDB has changed over the years.
March 16, 2016, I gave a presentation to several federal law enforcement intelligence analysts on the
topic of “Bridging the Cultural Gaps Between the Intelligence Community and law enforcement,” which
included references to the need for professionalism and the IAFIE goals to “provide a forum for the
exchange of ideas and information on teaching intelligence as a recognized academic discipline [as well
as] foster relationships and cultivate cooperation among intelligence professionals in academia, business,
and government.” I have attached the PowerPoint Presentation for those who might find this useful in
your academic endeavors.
Also noteworthy is one of our own members, Stephen Marrin’s Intelligence and National Security (2016)
article “Improving Intelligence Studies as an Academic Discipline,” is once again an insightful contribution
to the literature of intelligence studies. Steve answers his thesis statement, “to what extent is the body of
knowledge sufficient as a basis for the development of intelligence studies as an academic discipline?”
Included in Steve’s description of the steps necessary to “Developing Intelligence Studies as an
Academic Discipline” (document what is known; evaluate what is known; filling the gaps; disseminate the
new knowledge; and institutionalize these efforts), is a reference to IAFIE, along with the ODNI, INSA,
and ISA as “good partners for those wanting to engage academia,” (p. 277) filling gaps in literature
identified in the evaluation of “what is known.”
Looking ahead, we are currently working on having our next Chapter meeting and guest speaker at the
National Cryptologic Foundation museum in Jessup, MD during July 2016. We will finalize details and
announce through email and social media so that you can join us at this event.
