Sebastien Rale vs. New England: A Case Study of Frontier Conflict
No full textAuthor\u27s original abstract: A study was made of the Jesuit missionary, Sebastien Rale, and his role in New England-New France relations. French and English primary and secondary materials were examined to give the broadest possible view of the man and to place him in historical context.
It was found that Sebastien Rale was not an agent of New France. The conflicting opinions surrounding the mission of Norridgewock and the border war of the 1720\u27s were traced to the problems of Massachusetts-Abnaki relations. Rale\u27s frequent and testy letters to the government of the Bay Colony were blunt reactions to what he viewed as religious and territorial threats against his mission.
The frontier conflict between 1713 and 1722 was not the result of French Imperial policy. The French insisted that the Abnakis were allies but refused active participation in the Indians\u27 quarrel with New England. Policy was developed in Maine by the Jesuits. The missionaries were only secondarily interested in Quebec\u27s desire to prevent Massachusetts\u27 settlement of the Kennebec. With the declaration of war in July, 1722, however, the Jesuits left the Abnakis in the hands of the governor and the intendant of New France on whom the Indians relied for vital war supplies.
Finally, the controversial attack on Norridgewock was appraised. It was found that no secondary account had fully evaluated the sources. Examination led to the discovery of crucial inconsistencies in the primary accounts of New England. The French sources were found to be based on the understandably confused impressions of the fleeing Indians. In large measure the English sources present the more valid picture: the sudden attack, the panicked confusion, and Sebastien Rale dying with gun in hand. After Rale\u27s death the war drew to a close. Without Sebastien Rale\u27s persuasion and determination, the Abnakis were not able to present a united front against colonial expansion

California State University, Los Angeles, 2012Committee members: Sebastien Vallee, Jeffrey Benedict, John KennedyThe musical selections from this Master recital were not chosen with a specific theme in mind, rather each selection was carefully selected to represent the requisite musical styles stemming from the 18th to 20th century.All the literature was selected based on the requirements of the music department representing the technical skill level worthy of a graduate student from the institution of California State University, Los Angeles. This written project is the presentation of historical and musical research gathered by this author in preparation for this recital. The selections of Bach, Handel, Beethoven, Schubert, Faure, Menotti, Hoiby, and Barber are discussed in turn

Limit Theorem for a Modified Leland Hedging Strategy under Constant Transaction Costs rate
No full textWe study the Leland model for hedging portfolios in the presence of a constant proportional transaction costs coefficient. The modified Leland's strategy recently defined by the second author, contrarily to the classical one, ensures the asymptotic replication of a large class of payoff. In this setting, we prove a limit theorem for the deviation between the real portfolio and the payoff. As Pergamenshchikov did in the framework of the usual Leland's strategy, we identify the rate of convergence and the associated limit distribution. This rate turns out to be improved using the modified strategy and non periodic revision dates.Asymptotic hedging ; Leland-Lott strategy ; Transaction costs ; Martingale limit theorem.
