...Mr. Old Alfred Road Page 1 Mr. Old Alfred Road Minicase Leek-Nunoo November 3, 2012 Mr. Old Alfred Road Page2 Abstract Old Alfred Road, who is well-known to drivers on the Maine Turn-pike, has reached his seventieth birthday and is ready to retire. Mr. Road has no formal training in finance but has saved his money and invested carefully. Mr. Road owns his home—the mortgage is paid off—and does not want to move. He is a widower, and he wants to bequeath the house and any remaining assets to his daughter. He has accumulated savings of $180,000, conservatively invested. The investments are yielding 9% interest. Mr. Road also has $12,000 in a savings account at 5% interest. He wants to keep the savings account intact for unexpected expenses or emergencies. Mr. Road’s basic living expenses now average about $1,500 per month, and he plans to spend $500 per month on travel and hobbies. To maintain this planned standard of living, he will have to rely on his investment portfolio. The interest from the portfolio is $16,200 per year (9% of $180,000), or $1,350 per month. Mr. Road will also receive $750 per month in Social Security payments for the rest of his life. These payments are indexed for inflation. That is, they will be automatically increased in proportion to changes in the consumer price index. Mr. Road’s main concern is with inflation. The inflation rate has been below 3% recently, but a 3% rate is unusually low by historical standards. His Social Security...

...Hitchcock and Kubrick play in this essay are why that is so important for them to be considered auteurs. In my topic I will be arguing that Hitchcock and Kubrick were both Auteurs, but couldn't every director be an auteur isn't the definition of an Auteur a film director who is considered the primary creative force in the picture. Why are Hitchcock and Kubrick so special I am going to argue that they are great auteurs, how I'm going to do this is by viewing two hitchcock movies and two Kubrick movies and compare them to movies I have recently watched in the movie theaters. The two Hitchcock films I'll review watching are vertigo and to catch a thief . I choose these films because vertigo is the very first Alfred Hitchcock movie I watched and it was very interesting to watch such an old movie that was so entertaining. The way Hitchcock used the music and the way he is able to build the suspense and keep the suspense going even when without the music made it very shocking to me. And then in to catch a thief how Hitchcock was able to put an ordinary man in such bizarre events made it fun to watch. Two movies I have chosen for Stanley Kubrick are the shining and 2001 a space Odyssey. I choose the shining because it is the first scary movie I have ever watched I have watched it 2 to 3 years ago with my family and I haven't watched a scary one since the way Kubrick was able to use the Instruments to produce the suspense and thriller behind every door,made it a very memorable movie to watch...

...All the Years of Her Life MORLEY CALAGHAN The drug store was beginning to close for the night. Young Alfred Higgins who worked in the store was putting on his coat, getting ready to go home. On his way out, he passed Mr. Sam Carr, the little gray hair man who owned the store. Mr. Carr looked up at Alfred as he passed and said in a very soft voice, ''Just a moment, Alfred, one moment before you go.'' Mr. Carr spoke so quietly that he worried Alfred. ''What is it, Mr. Carr?'' ''Maybe you'd be good enough to take a few things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go.'' Said Mr. Carr. ''What things? What are you talking about?'' ''You've got a compact and a lipstick and at least two tubes of toothpaste in your pockets, Alfred.'' ''What do you mean?'' Alfred answered. ''Do you think I am crazy?'' His face got red. Mr. Carr kept looking at Alfred, coldly. Alfred did not know what to say and tried to keep his eyes from meeting the eyes of his boss. After a few moments, he put his hand into his pockets and took out the things he had stolen. ''Petty thieving, eh, Alfred?'' said Mr. Carr. ''And maybe you'd be good enough to tell me how long this has been going on.'' ''This is the first time I ever took anything.'' Mr. Carr was quick to answer, ''So now you think you tell me a lie? What kind of a fool do I look like, hah? I don't know what goes on in my own store, eh? I/ tell you, you have been doing this for a long time.'' Mr. Carr had a strange...

During the act her father shoots and paralyzes him and she doesn’t see her father for seven years. After all this by the time she is twelve she views her vagina as, “ a very bad place, a place of pain, nastiness, punching, invasion and blood” (Ensler pg 79). All of these experiences came together to create a female who doesn’t want anything to do with her vagina. Many stigmas are created about women's vaginas already. They are considered a taboo topic.

...Psychoanalytic Personality Assessment Jennifer PSY/250 October 15, 2012 Professor Cortez Psychoanalytic Personality Assessment Among the first to discover psychology were Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Alfred Adler. Each psychologist was an influential thinker, early founder, and contributor to the modern science of psychology. They spent many years doing technical investigations on astronomy, medicine, and laboratory testing in understanding human needs and characteristics. Each man’s philosophy was alike but different. Freud’s philosophy is founded on personality, conscience, desires, needs, natures, and thoughts. Freud studied five stages of personality development that included: Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency, and Genital. All these five stages detect a human’s character from birth to adulthood. According to A+E Television Networks, LLC (1996-2012) “Sigmund Freud was born on May 6, 1856 in Austria. Freud theorized and practiced neuropsychology; he was the first to study Hysteria, and sexuality. Freud studied dreams, which he called the royal road to the unconscious, and laid out the five stages of sexual development. Freud still remains one of the most influential figures in today’s world” (1996-2012). According to A+E Television Networks, LLC (1996-2012) “Carl Jung was born on July 26, 1875 in Kesswil, Switzerland. Jung believed in complex or emotionally charged associations.

...The Master of Suspense Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was indeed one of the most iconic and influential film directors in the history of the medium as well as being internationally recognizable throughout his life. This paper delves into his earlier works, concentrating on his narrative elements such as the MacGuffin technique, the likeable antagonist, the innocent man or woman whom is falsely accused or misunderstood, and the act of balancing suspense and tragedy with humor and comedy. From a stylistic standpoint the paper conveys Hitchcock’s profound use of atmosphere and landscape, song as a suspense device, landscape of crowd caricatures, and point-of-view technique. Looking at The 39 Steps (1935), The Lady Vanishes (1938), Saboteur (1940), and Shadow of a Doubt (1943) we can see the styles and techniques these precursors pioneered and why they were implemented into Hitchcock’s greatest works in the coming decades. We take our first look at Hitchcock’s famed narrative technique, the MacGuffin. The MacGuffin was a plot device used by Hitchcock to hold the tension of the story without actually having any relevance to the plot itself. It was a gimmick that had the sole purpose of adding suspense to whatever situation the hero or heroine might have been in by motivating the characters to start the story. They do not know what it is but they will do anything to uncover its mystery, thus pushing the action and drama of the narrative forward. The initial use of this technique...

...1. The sum of three consecutive even integers is equal to 84. Find the numbers. Solution * The difference between two even integers is equal to 2. let x, x + 2 and x + 4 be the three numbers. Their sum is equal to 84, hence x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 84 * Solve for x and find the three numbers x = 26 , x + 2 = 28 and x + 4 = 30 * The three numbers are even. Check that their sum is equal to 84. 2. The sum on an odd integer and twice its consecutive is equal to equal to 3757. Find the number. Solution * The difference between two odd integers is equal to 2. let x be an odd integer and x + 2 be its consecutive. The sum of x and twice its consecutive is equal to 3757 gives an equation of the form x + 2(x + 2) = 3757 * Solve for x x = 1251 * Check that the sum of 1251 and 2(1251 + 2) is equal to 3757. 3. The sum of the first and third of three consecutive odd integers is 131 less than three times the second integer. Find the three integers. Solution * Let x, x + 2 and x + 4 be three integers. The sum of the first x and third x + 4 is given by x + (x + 4) * 131 less than three times the second 3(x + 2) is given by 3(x + 2) - 131 * "The sum of the first and third is 131 less than three times the second" gives x + (x + 4) = 3(x + 2) - 131 * Solve for x and find all three numbers x = 129 , x + 2 = 131 , x + 4 = 133 * As an exercise, check that the sum of the first...

The Columbian Neo-Indian Exchange What have been is what will be, and what has been done, is what will be done and there is nothing that will reverse it. The incipient world as we know it has been undergoing a drastic era for biological globalization since the landing of the Europeans between the fifteen and the eighteen century. This era is known as the Columbian exchange and commenced in the year 1492 when Christopher Columbus and his crew sailed the Atlantic, exploring more advantages. Beckles & Shepherd suggest in his book Liberties lost, “that the European’s instinct was to reach Asia by sailing deep into the Western Atlantic. His quest was to find Asia, craving for the riches of Asia. Lost in the Caribbean Sea, he found indigenous people of Bahamas whose posture of welcome ushered into a global era.” (2004, p.35) Columbus’ first voyage was one of revelation in which he took the prospect to explore much places as he can. As history tells us, he made a series of voyages scooping new discoveries and engagements with the people who he encountered with on his journey. He first landed in the Bahamas. Columbus...

...books such as “The Hobbit” (J.R.R. Tolkien- 1936) this book has such realistic characteristics along with mythological characteristics. The other books I liked were “Lord of the Rings” which was broken into sequels. There orders were “The Fellowship of the Ring” and “The Two Tower” they were published in Great Britain in 1954. The third one was published in 1955 it was called “The Return of the King.” These great books kept me on my toes; I did not want to put them down. It is hard to actually find a good book to read that will keep your attention throughout and also make you feel like you are in the big picture yourself. J.R.R. Tolkien overcame many obstacles to achieve his successes a writer and also a teacher. In 1896 his father (Alfred Tolkien) died of Rheumatic fever. His mother (Mabel Tolkien) died from diabetes in November of 1904. J.R.R. Tolkien and his brothers were orphaned until they were taken in by a priest (Francis Xavier Morgan). In 1916 J.R.R. Tolkien went off to WW1 in 1916, and contracted “trench fever” in 1917. J.R.R. Tolkien was discharged from the military in 1917. After dealing with all of this he yet managed to be married, return to college, attain degrees and also pursue his writing and teaching. These were a lot of obstacles to overcome but J.R.R. Tolkien did. He has a strong will, and such a passion and desire to learn and teach. That is how I think that he overcame his obstacles. Education to J.R.R. Tolkien was very important to him because...

Allingham, Contributing Editor, Victorian Web; Faculty of Education, Lakehead University (Canada) [Victorian Web Home —> Authors —> Music, Theatre, and Popular Entertainment —> Theatres] Much of the following information has been gathered from Frederick and Lise-Lone Marker's in "A Guide to London Theatres, 1750-1880" in The Revels History of Drama in English, Vol. VI: 1750-1880 (1975). They, in turn, consulted H. Barton Baker's History of the London Stage (London, 1904), Allardyce Nicoll's A History of English Drama 1660-1900 (Cambridge, 1966), E. B. Watson's Sheridan to Robertson (Cambridge, Mass., 1926), and The London Stage (Carbondale, Ill., 1962-68). Phyllis Hartnoll's Concise Oxford Companion to the Theatre offers more detailed information about many of these 19th c. theatres. For supplementary texts, consult the "Reference List" below. Adelphi (Strand) Built in 1806 opposite Adam Street by merchant John Scott (who had made his fortune from a washing-blue) as the Sans Pareil to showcase his daughter's theatrical talents, the theatre was given a new facade and redecorated in 1814. It re-opened on 18 October 1819 as the Adelphi, named after the imposing complex of West London streets built by the brothers Robert (1728-92) and James (1730-94) Adam from 1768. The name "Adelphoi" in Greek simply means "the brothers." Among the celebrated actors who appeared on its stage...
