...The Doors When you think of psychedelic rock and roll of the sixties, you would have to be a fool if The Doors don’t come to mind. In their short 54 month career the iconic rock band shoved right through the boundaries that so many other bands dared not cross and helped millions of people see things differently and experience things they had not before. With more than 75 million albums sold worldwide and another 1 million sold annually The Doors have achieved legendary status. The band formed when Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek met in UCLA Film School. While walking on the beach one day, Ray persuaded Jim to read one of his poems, “Moonlight Drive”, and a few others. After hearing the talent that Jim possessed, Ray convinced him to start a rock band where his poems would be mixed with rock and roll music. Drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Kreiger joined the band shortly there after. One thing that immediately made the band stand out from the others was the lack of a bass player so Ray played the bass line on a keyboard with his left hand and played chords with his right. Also, a session bassist was added when needed. The name of the group, The Doors, was thought of by Jim and was taken from Aldous Huxley’s book, The Doors of Perception, and more particularly from William Blake’s quotation that inspired the title: “If the doors of perception were cleansed, man would see things as they truly are – infinite.” The Doors’ music has a mystical, spiritual feeling around...

...Imagine you are on the stage of a television game show and the host asks you to choose among three doors. There is a new car behind one of the doors, which will be your prize if you guess right. You choose the first door. Then the host opens the third door to reveal that the car is not there. Then he asks you if you want to change your guess. Should you now choose the second door, or stay with your choice of the first door, or does it matter? Why it doesn’t matter: The car is behind door one or door two. You have already chosen door one so you have a 50/50 chance of winning. There is no reason to change your choice. Why it does matter: The odds of winning the car started as one in three. How can the host opening door three change those past odds? Now you know the car is behind door one or door two. But the odds of the car being behind door one are still one in three while the odds of the car being behind door two are 50/50. Perhaps another scenario may cast some light. Suppose the host opened door one and revealed that your guess was wrong. Then he asked if you wanted to change your guess. Would you? Of course you would. So what does this have to do with the price of rice? Nothing. But it shows that information matters, and it matters for investment decisions. New information may require new action, such as rebalancing a portfolio or updating an econometric model or a...

...The Door to Unknown “How can you possibly know how I feel? Things are not the same as they used to be, back when you were a kid! Times change! ” “Your father and I know what is best for you! You should sit down and rethink your actions!” She left the room, closing the door behind her. I pressed the cushion over my face trying to tone down the sound of my scream, but even that was not enough to cover the rhythmical sound of high heels going down the stairs. Apart from my raging temper and wounded pride after losing another argument, I was left alone in the room with the fragrance of Chanel No.5. I lay in my bed for hours, looking at the door, waiting for my father to come home. He understands me. We both miss her. Next week will be three years since she passed away. I know he had to move on with his life, but still…He married that witch. God, I hate her. I had been watching at that door, like my life depended on it. If only I could get away from here. I remember how they looked like when we first moved into this house. They were old; you could tell by just looking at them. The bottom half was missing few wooden pieces. Tiny lines engraved along the right side of the frame, were telling me the height of child living here before me. Edges were cracked and uneven. The creaking was unbearable. Even though I have never seen one, I could swear little black bugs were crawling in between scratches. But, she fixed it. She fixed them and the rest of the house the same way she fixed...

...successful year for Palladium Door Inc., a small regional garage door manufacturer, reaching $9.2 million dollars in sales with $460,000 in net profit. As the 2004 approached, the director of sales and marketing, Richard Hawley, asked that they create a plan to raise sales for 2004 by 36% to $12.5 million. This idea was driven primarily by suppliers, in respect to the raw materials needed to make the steel doors. It was agreed that more sales were necessary to keep a stable buying position with these suppliers and more budget was needed on promotions and advertising to achieve this goal. The company distributes steel residential and commercial garage doors and supplies through 300 independent dealers and 50 exclusive dealers which service 150 markets. However, 50 of these markets have the 50 exclusive dealers as the only provider of Palladium doors. Palladium also had 10 sales representatives. To meet the sales goal, it was imperative to determine the amount of dealers, their locations and particulars needed to achieve this. A number of solutions were offered by Palladium executives: adding more dealers into the current markets it operates in; developing an exclusive franchise program with nonexclusive dealers operating in different markets; reducing the number of dealerships, not changing the distribution strategy or dealers. Main Competitors: Cloplay Corporation, Overhead Door Corporation, Wayne-Dalton Corporation, Amarr Garage Doors, and Royner Garage Doors. Key Issue: Which distribution...

...The Door in the Wall Confiding to his friend Redmond who narrates “The Door in the Wall,” Lionel Wallace relates that a preoccupation is gradually coming to dominate his life, one that is even affecting his career as a successful politician. Long ago as a lonely child of five he had wandered out of his home into the streets of West Kensington in London, where he noticed a green door set in a white wall. It was very attractive to him, and he wanted to open it, but at the same time he felt that his father would be very angry if he did. Wallace’s father is described as “a stern preoccupied lawyer, who gave him little attention and expected great things of him.” Wallace’s mother was dead, and he was being raised by a governess. Nevertheless, the young Wallace gives in to the temptation and finds himself in an enchanted garden. Wallace describes the garden as a children’s paradise with an inspiring atmosphere. The garden’s colors are clean and bright, and the child is filled with happiness. There are various animals, including two tame panthers, beautiful flowers, and shady trees. Wallace meets a tall, fair girl who “came to meet me, smiling, and said ‘Well?’ to me, and lifted me and kissed me, and put me down and led me by the hand.” He meets other children and they play games together, although he cannot remember the games, a fact which later causes him much distress. A woman begins to read a book to the boy, and soon it becomes apparent that the story she is telling is that of...

Roll-up steel doors are available in many different options to precisely fit your needs and are guaranteed to stand the test of time. Standard or heavy duty There are many different options available when it comes to choosing the right rolling steel door for your garage or service building. One of the first choices you’ll need to make is whether to use a standard duty or heavy duty rolling door. A standard duty door is economical yet still durable and reliable enough to last for years. This door features steel channel guides, an interlocking, galvanized steel curtain, a minimum 6” diameter steel pipe barrel, and chain operation with cast iron gears. It can be mounted on the interior or exterior face of the wall or between the door jam. For customers with average security needs and for those living in areas where extreme weather is rare, the standard duty door may be the perfect choice. However, if your security needs...

...When you manually open your garage door, you've probably noticed the door's lightness. This is an illusion because the garage door spring is holding up the door. You are only providing a small extra force to move it upward. If the spring wasn't there, you would have to lift the door's full weight, which can be one hundred to two hundred pounds. The garage door spring therefore, is under tremendous tension/torsion when the door is closed. It is this tension that makes a DIY replacement of a broken garage door spring a dangerous undertaking. While you could do a lot of research based on videos or blogs made by people of questionable expertise, and then use painstaking care and thoughtfulness in doing the job yourself, it's not a practical skill...

...Hydraulically Operated Doors Aboard Seagoing Vessels New Safety Regulation Proposal David Smith There have been a startling number of marine related safety accidents in the recent past, and if we examine them and critically think about them maybe we can come up with worthwhile regulations that do not add any increased demand on often already overworked crews, at the same time mitigating the amount of change required to current operating equipment. As rare as death is in all of the marine incidents over the past 24 years, according to the transportation safety board, there are 5 reported deaths in Canada due to accidents at sea, one which was caused by a hydraulic door. To that end, this paper will focus on preventing injury and death caused by hydraulically operated doors and hatches that operate either manually or automatically. A vessel is divided by watertight bulkheads to survive flooding, following a collision or grounding. The more watertight bulkheads there are, the safer the ship is against capsizing and sinking. However, a high number of bulkheads may restrict the use of spaces on board and make it hard for the crew to move between the divided spaces. So, watertight doors are fitted in between bulkheads which should be watertight. Doors can usually be closed from the bridge, or other control room, for the purpose of saving the ship, and can also be opened and closed locally, allowing personnel to pass through, as well as to escape in an emergency. Saving...

...ABSTRACT F.U Okoro’s keyhole theory of conflict assumes that “textual conflicts consist in series of locked doors and actions in the text comprises in attempts to unlock these doors”. Further, this theory of textual conflict recognizes the importance of what Aristotle has called the “depth burden of the past” however, it explains this concept in a slightly different way. The keyhole theory explains that the state of the key hole at the point of opening directly affects the state of the keyhole at the exit door. As explained by mr Fidelis himself, what we see as a comedy is just the manner of actions that sees to the opening of all the doors in a text, by contrast, a tragedy thrives because the hero meets difficulties and is ultimately unable to open the exit door both incidents are as a result of opening the first door with either the right or the wrong key. According to A.N. Akwanya, the theory is ‘a comprehensive statement which means that it must apply in the same way to a vast range of objects’. This can be further explained to mean that a theory must overlook he distinct properties of the individual object. This raises the question : can F.U Okoro’s keyhole theory of conflict qualify as a theory? Again, to what extent can it be able to apply in the same way to a vast range of literary text. A literary text here covers both prose narratives and plays. THE KEYHOLE THEORY AND DRAMA Now, without further ado, I will set about examining the extent of applicability of this...
