...Jonah Verdon Have you ever been to the haunted mansion in Disney World, or Disney Land? If you have, than you know how amazing the eerie the effects are, and how detailed the scenery is, but did you know that there is a whole world of old storyline trashed props, and unused ideas, that are scattered throughout the attraction? As we go on, you will discover that this technological stepping stone could have been a very different ride, if it hadn’t been for several geniuses down at Disney! First off did you know there was a storyline that went along with the ride? Although it’s not technically still a part of it, you can still see old ideas inserted into a new setting. Currently you rife through the “mansion” as a narrator talks to you about the different scenes you go through. The first difference we should look at is the narrator. Originally, the narrator was supposed to be a raven, inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. This idea was continued, even into the building of the ride, until two years before opening the ride they changed the concept. Now, the narrator is named the “Ghost Host”. The raven ca still be seen to this day (see below), however it only squawks. Before the Haunted Mansion was a dark ride, it was a museum. The original concept was called “Museum of the Weird”. It was supposed to be a side show featuring a gothic undertone. You would walk through this museum and view gothic artifacts from all over the world. However, this idea was scrapped and all the...

...Zhibo Yang Professor Collins-Porter 11/18/2015 FILM 101 Children of Men Children of Men, directed by Alfonso Cuaron, is a science fiction thriller film in 2006. After watching it, I start to think deeply because this film contains much information about political statements, philosophy, and religions. Children of Men tells the story of Theo Faron, one of the many bureaucrats from the energy department in UK. He seems like a common citizen, but does something uncommon later. In fact, the first thirty minutes is not quite interesting for me, but things has changed significantly after Julian is killed by shot. Later, Theo becomes a hero by rescuing Kee’s child, the child of miracle. This film has many advanced and significant aspects on many perspectives. So this paper is going to analyze the unique features in it. Narrative The story is located at the United Kingdom in 2027. At that time, human beings have experienced 18 years of infertility. Children of Men is a film with realistic narrative, because the story runs chronologically. And it follows the classic five-part narrative structure. We can clearly recognize the introduction: Theo hears the news about the death of baby Diego. Conflict and obstacles are throughout the story that Theo finds out Luke’s plan and helps Kee escape to “The Tomorrow”. Later climax comes with the ceasing fire of government army and revolt when they see Kee’s kid. And by the end of the film, we can hear kids laughing, which leaves us a hope...

...intentions have been misunderstood? Well, you're not alone. In the book Of Mice and Men, many characters find that their intentions hardly match the outcomes of their actions. George and Lennie, the two main characters, find themselves jobless during the beginning of the story. They make their way to a ranch in Soledad, California, with heavy hopes to pursue their dream of owning a ranch together. Throughout the book, they face many challenges due to the effects of intentions and how they predict outcomes, prejudice, social hierarchy, and ethics and morality. However, the thematic topic I will be focusing on is how intentions predict outcomes. In the book, Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck argues that uncontrollable...

...Ka 'apor Capuchin Cebus kaapori Taxonomy: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Suborder: Haplorrhini Infraorder: Simiiformes Parvorder: Platyrrhini Family: Cebidae Subfamily: Cebinae Genus: Cebus Species: C. kaapori Other names: Untufted Capuchin. For a long time the taxonomy of the Ka'apor Capuchin monkey was (and sometimes still is) strongly argued (Alfaro, Silva & Rylands, 2012). When it was first discovered by Ferrari and Queiroz in 1992 some believed that Cebus kaapori should be classed as a sub species of Cebus olivaceous. However nowadays it is considered by many to be its own individual species. It is also the only species of capuchin with no sub species (Boubli, Rylands, Farias, Alfaro & Alfaro, 2012).The Ka’apor capuchin is a member of the Cebidae family, one of five families that fall under the Platyrrhini Parvorder, classing this species as one of the New World Monkeys. Morphology: Compared to most other primate species, the Ka’apor capuchin is relatively small, growing no larger than roughly 60cm in height and 45cm in length. The species has relatively long limbs compared to its trunk size allowing efficient quadrupedal movement through the tree canopy which is a large benefit due to the species being predominately arboreal, they have also been noted to be bipedal however this is quite a rare occurrence. They possess a semi-prehensile tail that is mainly used during feeding unlike the other New World Monkeys...

...Behavioural Finance Topic 10 What it is: * Relatively new and controversial area in the study of finance. * Orthodox finance theory is based on a representative agent that is a rational utility ‘maximiser’ who makes unbiased forecasts about the future. * BF expands the attributes allowed for this representative, replacing the ‘rational’ agent with a ‘normal’ person who is susceptible to a range of cognitive illusions. How and why it began: * The idea that psychological factors may play a role in financial markets, as opposed to mant theorist have always known that less than rational behaviour has been a dominating feature of markets. * This counter act the rational utility maximising representative agent. Dividends: the dividend policy could be completely irrelevant to its share price. This can be shown with an example that if firm A was to pay a large dividene then its retained earnings fall. However if B paid a larger amount then the retainbed earnings is correspondingly higher. Which ever way you go the if the capitalisation is the same than the market will force the price up on the larger dividend company. Trading Volumes: Orthodox models of financial markets imply that there should be little trading in financial assets. The reason for this is that in a world that is rational why would anyone be selling an asset unless they had some information to suggest that they should – and if so, why would anyone else want to buy? Of course, some trading will...

...John Steinbeck’s novella “Of Mice and Men” was written the 1930s, during the great American Depression. He used the ranch as a microcosm to show society’s desensitisation to violence, the inhumane ways in which the marginalised were treated and the prevalent misogynistic attitudes. Steinbeck focused on lives of itinerant farmworkers who constantly searched for work. The economic crisis led to high unemployment rates and fierce competition for jobs. Many people were poverty stricken, violence became their ultimate source of escapism and a cheap source of entertainment thus creating a hostile environment. Steinbeck resigned from the prestigious Stanford University in order to gain insight of the hardships faced by peripatetic workers. His strong socialist views and empathy towards the marginalised inspired him to write this story. During his time on the farm, he witnessed a lot of violence. He based most of his characters on people he met; Lennie’s character was based on a man who killed a ranch foreman and stabbed his boss in the stomach with a pitchfork. One way Steinbeck portrays the importance of violence in the novel is through the way in which characters treat each other to determine status. When Curley is introduced in chapter two, he “glanced coldly” at George, his arms “gradually bent at the elbows” and his hands “closed into fists”. Curley “stiffened” and “went into a slight crouch” making Lennie “squirm” and “shift his feet nervously”. His actions...

...rhythms, recompensing for the lack of drums, which were forbidden by owners of plantations who dreaded that the instrument would be used to synchronize slave insurgencies. One former slave inscription in 1853, named as the “patting juba”, the polyrhythmic exercise. It was achieved by “hitting the right side shoulder with a hand, the left shoulder with the other hand while singing and keeping the time with the feet.” (Williams, 1991 ) The blues interned the sound that was African-based that was first captured by spirituals and joined with European music. It contained a twelve-bar, centuries-old European harmonic development in an ordinary time of 4/4. Over the format of twelve-bar the music usually reiterated a three chords set to make an effect of call-and-response. Within the lyrics, the songster did the identical by repeating a line two times before exaggerating it with another line in an arrangement named AAB. On the bass, the music highlighted a riff of three notes to make a dominant and distinctive rhythm occasionally named as a shuffle or a groove (Henderson, 1926 ). Players of Blues noted this twelve-bar rhythmic structure by means of bent or blue notes–the compressed 3rd, 5th, and 7th notes of a main scale. These notes gave the sound an increasing and dropping feeling and separated it from the European diatonic scale. Blues musicians have played the music countless times on instruments which are of their African inheritance. Many initiated with an instrument having one-string...

We examine how certain professional and political characteristics of FASB members and SEC commissioners predict the accounting ‘‘reliability’’ and ‘‘relevance’’ of proposed standards. Notably, we find FASB members with backgrounds in financial services are more likely to propose standards that decrease ‘‘reliability’’ and increase ‘‘relevance,’’ partly due to their tendency to propose fair-value methods. We find opposite results for FASB members affiliated with the Democratic Party, although only when excluding financialservices background as an independent variable. Jackknife procedures show that results are robust to omitting any individual standard setter. & 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

...9-508-076 REV: APRIL 14, 2008 ELIE OFEK Sony PlayStation 3: Game Over? [W]hen you look at the history of the video game industry since the PlayStation was launched back in 1995, we were able to take the leadership position very quickly with the PlayStation. With PlayStation 2 we have more than 110 million gamers and consumers enjoying the PlayStation 2 on a worldwide basis. And I think we have a very loyal following for the PlayStation family of products. So with the PlayStation 3, I believe that we are going to be able to quickly take the leadership position once again and maintain that position for a very long time. — Kaz Hirai, President and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment of America, November 17 20061 It was a picture that was reminiscent of the launch of the original PlayStation nearly a dozen years before. Some eager customers had arrived as early as 6am and from as far as New Jersey to a video game store in Manhattan with the hope of purchasing one of the newest and most sought after video game consoles. By 9am, the number of customers waiting for entrance to the store exceeded 100 and the line extended down the block. One customer in line had been searching stores across the region for two weeks in order to find a console for her brother’s twenty-fifth birthday. A twelve-year-old and his grandmother were visiting their third store in search of the new console. “I just hate what you have to do just to get one,” the boy said.2 In one sense, long...

The search to understand people’s ability to get along with other people using emotional intelligence began in the 1930s and was popularized by Daniel Goleman in the 1990s after the EQ theory was developed by Peter Salovey and John Mayer (Unknown, 2009). EQ was originally thought to be an inborn trait—one that could not be developed, but Daniel Goleman and other psychologists...

...RICK RIORDAN THE CROWN of PTOLEMY A Percy Jackson/Kane Chronicles Adventure PUFFIN Contents The Crown of Ptolemy ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rick Riordan is the creator of the award-winning, bestselling Percy Jackson series and the thrilling Kane Chronicles and Heroes of Olympus series. Don’t miss his new series: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. According to Rick, the idea for the Percy Jackson stories was inspired by his son Haley. But rumour has it that Camp Half-Blood actually exists, and Rick spends his summers there recording the adventures of young demigods. Some believe that, to avoid a mass panic among the mortal population, he was forced to swear on the River Styx to present Percy Jackson’s story as fiction. Rick lives in Boston, Massachussetts, (apart from his summers on Half-Blood Hill) with his wife and two sons.
