    Author’s Background: J.D. Salinger was born on January 1, 1919, in New York City, New York. Jerome David Salinger was born to Sol Salinger and his wife Miriam (J.D. Salinger). Though he was a bright young man, when he attended McBurney School, he ended up flunking out and was soon after sent to Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne, Pennsylvania (J.D. Salinger). After graduating Valley Forge, a couple years later, Salinger finally found the right school, Columbia University, where he met Whit Burnett, who helped him take off in his writing career (J.D. Salinger). After returning to New York, his writings were published in the New Yorker magazine and other publishers. He continued to push forward with his writing career and finally, in 1951, the Catcher in the Rye was published and instantly went worldwide after World War II (American Literature). Though some critics were harsh in their reviews on the novel, it still grew more successful and vaulted Salinger into literary fame. The fame did not suit Salinger, so he remained secluded from the public. His only other published work while he was still alive was a short story called the “Hapworth.” He later died on January 27, 2010, in Cornish (J.D. Salinger).…

    Virtually all individuals and organizations earn or raise money and spend or invest money. Finance is the processes by which money is transferred (financing and investing) among businesses, individuals, and governments. The activities involved in the field of finance are evident in the financial news that is reported on television shows such as Money Line and in business periodicals such as the Wall Street Journal. Every day, financial decisions made within firms result in financial actions, such as those listed here, which were taken from the financial news: • Dell Computer expands its product line. • The Gap builds additional stores. • Nike closes a production plant in Asia. • Du Pont restructures its chemicals business. • Ford Motor Co. borrows $3 billion. • Motorola acquires a company in Japan. • Perot Systems issues stock valued at $3 billion. Note that each action reflects a decision on either how to invest funds or how to obtain funds. These financial actions are important not only to the firms involved but also to both existing and prospective investors in the firm. Financial decisions influence the value of the firm as reflected in its stock price, which affects how much investors earn on their investments in the firm. Thus many financial news headlines focus on the impact of a financial event on the firm’s stock price: • The stock price of Perot Systems rises by 50 percent within 2 days of its stock offering. • Nike’s stock price declines by 5 percent as a result of poor performance. • Apple…

    Have you ever wondered why is there so much "empty space" in space if there are no other intelligent beings we can communicate with? If this would be true, the whole universe would be a complete waste since humans will never be able to explore not one percent of it. Also, there is so much evidence about aliens, so many sightings and encounters that it is very hard to disprove them all. If the theory of evolution is taken into consideration, the possibilities of intelligent life forming only on Earth are so small that it is insane to believe that such a small possibility could be true. There are so many facts and evidence of the existence of alien life, that, today, not believing in them is too close-minded.…

    These are all comments that I here aimed at me on a regular basis and to be perfectly honest. I am sick of it. You never hear people telling loud people that they talk too much and are being serious about it. People think that being quiet and not very talkative is some kind of flaw that needs to be fixed and as a result often try and get me up to do crazy things as an attempt to try and make me 'come out of my shell'…
