voice relayed to the tower and I heard it through my headset. “Starting jumping sequence now,” TOO TALL responded. “Hold on to your birds, ladies.” While I didn’t quite understand his jargon, it didn’t take me long to decipher. A cyclone of static energy ripped into the sky from the ocean about 200 yards ahead. The entire boat shifted back and upwards from the reaction. Waves crashed hard against the boat’s wall.

Conflict over energy resources—and the wealth and power they create—has become an increasingly prominent feature for geopolitics particularly in the Middle East . The discovery of oil in the late nineteenth century added a dimension to the region as major outside states powers employed military force to protect their newly acquired interests in the Middle East. The U.S.’s efforts to secure the flow of oil have led to ever increasing involvement in the Middle East region’s political affairs and ongoing

Apparently, the consensus is that, the IC and the law enforcement agencies need to share more information, that include operational strategies and tactics—especially those focused on transnational issues such as terrorism, drugs, counterintelligence, and weapons of mass destruction—needed to be better integrated. In hopes of improving information sharing between the IC and law enforcement agencies, Congress passed the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), and also established

the ceiling) that keep the film looking alive. Lastly, he also parodies other filmmakers to entertaining effect. For example, he uses slow-motion a couple times that reminded me of The Matrix. He also uses jazz music to remind viewers of the Lethal Weapon series and utilizes a dramatic narrator like countless other movies. On the whole, McKay provides some above average directing, especially for this type of

current world that we live in. Both movies have a similar setting in that both of them have incorporated the aspect of extraterrestrial forms of life in the screenplay.

represent relational information. This is the reason why it is often useful to draw graphs in order to visualize this relational information. Spring Embedder are force-directed layout algorithms. All edges are drawn as straight lines. Force-directed layout algorithms model the input graph as a system of forces and try to find a minimum energy configuration of this system. Essentially the aim is to provide an aesthetically pleasing graph for easy visualization. 10.2. Content Analysis Content Analysis is
