From the Paper
"Requirements Specification, Validation and Management is also critical in the Gathering System Requirements Process - This is also a very critical task in that the feasibility of the project and its vision must be rigorously and thoroughly defined into product and solution concepts that can be transformed into specific application features and solution sets. The progression of turning requirements into specifications, validating them, and managing the requirements in the context of an overall product line strategy is also very critical. The database or repository of requirements must be continually managed and updated to reflect current user and customer unmet needs, with a strong focus on how to translate them into future product directions."

"A Gathering of Old Men.", 2008.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the novel "A Gathering of Old Men" by Ernest J. Gaines. Specifically it describes and assesses how the novel depicts the culture that it is portraying. "A Gathering of Old Men" indicates that even in the relatively modern South, hatred and old ideas still exist. Slavery may have ended in the 19th century, but the residual effects of that institution still follow blacks and whites in the South. The historical context of this moving book illustrates that quite clearly.
From the Paper
"Ernest J. Gaines was born on January 15, 1933 on the River Lake Plantation in Louisiana. He worked in the cane fields of the plantation when he was a child, and the setting offers the background for much of his fiction. He says, "Though the places in my stories and novels are imaginary ones, they are based pretty much on the place where I grew up and the surrounding areas where I worked, went to school, and traveled as a child. My characters speak the way people speak in that area" (Bauer). He has written numerous novels and short stories, and almost all of them tell the emotional stories of black people struggling to live in a largely white world, just like this one. He has won numerous awards and recognition for his novels, including a National Endowment for the Arts grant, a Guggenheim fellow, and a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation fellow (Bauer). He is a professor of English in Lafayette, Louisiana, and he continues to write compelling tales about black life and social issues in his home state."

Intelligence Gathering, 2006.
A discussion on which method of intelligence gathering the intelligence community should rely on in order to counter terrorism.
1,821 words (approx. 7.3 pages), 14 sources, MLA, £ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how, in recent years, there has been much debate in the intelligence community relating to the balance between human intelligence (humint), and technical intelligence (techint), in satisfying a state's intelligence requirements. This paper addresses the argument from both sides and suggests that there has been an over reliance on techint in recent years, leading to inadequacies in intelligence gathering.
From the Paper
"The current debate, although not unique to the post 9/11 period, is certainly prevalent today, and has generally involved the advocates of techint in disagreement with those that suggest humint has been neglected as a result of this. Perhaps typical of those advocates is Turner (1985. p92. cited in Shulsky. p34. 2002), who states that 'One way or another, we should soon be able to keep track of most activities on the surface of the earth, day or night, good weather or bad.' As we shall see, the idea that one collection method is favoured over the other is not helpful to the ongoing debate on intelligence reform in the U.S. and that supporters of techint's superiority are misguided, perhaps because of what Emerson (2003. p2) describes as the 'American love affair with technology.'

Abstract
The paper focuses specifically on Beau Boutan, a central character in the novel, who appears dead at the opening of the story, but is the pivot to the rest of the action in the book. The paper discusses how Beau represented everything bad about the interracial relationships in Louisiana during that time, a white man hated by the blacks, and how all the men in town had a reason to kill him.
From the Paper
"Throughout the book, the old black men remember the horrors the Boutan family have wreaked on the community. These represent the horrors the blacks have faced at the hands of whites for centuries, emancipation or not. Boutan's death draws the community together so they can take back their sanity and their manhood, as the narrator shows late in the book when he is talking with Candy. "That old man is free of you now. When he pulled your hands off his arm and went into that room, he was setting both of you free" (Gaines 287)."

Abstract
In conducting research, it is critical to ensure that the information obtained is reliable and accurate. Otherwise, the research completed cannot achieve a worthwhile result. To assess whether information is reliable and accurate, the source of the information needs to be considered to determine if the source is trustworthy. To illustrate how sources are assessed in practice, a simple set of questions are researched in this paper. These resources focus on the author's job as a salesperson with the aim of determining what the level of gender segregation is in the job, what the average pay is, what skills are required and what similarly skilled jobs are worth compared to this job. Firstly, the results of this research are presented. To illustrate that the results came from trustworthy sources, each of the three sources are discussed in turn. This includes detailing the source and describing why the source has been assessed as trustworthy.
From the Paper
"The conclusion that relationship-building skills are essential for a sales person comes from an article titled "Relationship-oriented characteristics and individual salesperson performance." This article was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Business and International Marketing and is authored by Bruce D. Keillor, R. Stephen Parker, and Charles E. Pettijohn. The article is directed at an audience of educated sales managers and scholars, rather than to a lay person audience. The article focuses on the relationship-building skills of sales people and concludes that this skill is essential to salesperson performance. The study is a research study based on primary data with professional sales people surveyed to determine their relationhip-building skills and their performance. The research used accepted survey tools to determine its results, which increases the reliability of the results."

Abstract
With so much activity and such a limited amount of space available in major media outlets, referring broadly to print and television news, this paper attempts to determine what makes a relevant news copy and what simply is disregarded as non-newsworthy. It discusses what news is and the process that it goes through before it reaches a finished product.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The first two sources are typically located within the media's own structure. Specialists are usually employed by the media institution itself to provide a constant stream of information within a particular field, or alternatively can be employed on a freelance basis, being consulted on issues when the need arises. News 'diaries', on the other hand, are a "record of forthcoming events - political conferences, speeches by prominent people, press conferences - compiled for the purpose of easing the collection of information" (Negrine, 1989, p.124). These diaries are compiled before a public event and are on hand in newsrooms to ensure there will be adequate in house coverage in place when the event happens."

Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that people's choice of a news source predominantly depends on their need to make functional decisions in real time. In order to expand a person's ability to solve basic societal problems in a shorter time frame, people have developed a reliance on journalists, among other skilled professionals, to sift through their extensive information ecology and process it for them. The writer notes that the transition from newspaper to television and the future transition from television to the Internet, depends entirely on the success in sifting through the consumer's information ecology. The writer maintains that in its most successful form, the Internet solves many of the issues both television and newspapers have confronted as popular media systems. The writer concludes that by maintaining the textual and visual aspects available in previous media systems, while affording the consumer a higher level of control over the news, the Internet will replace television and newspaper as the popular media system.
From the Paper
"Danielewski would argue that to understand where Internet news is going, we simply need to look at how television is reinventing itself. Television today is becoming more personalized, just as it influenced theater. News is now available on multiple channels, each with very specific audiences. A diverse and more complete presentation of reality is presented, through photos, streaming text and diagrams. Additionally, the newly popular recordable video feature available through several cable companies makes news timeless. A viewer is able to not only come back and watch or re-watch an event, but they are also able to fast forward through parts they don't want to see."
