Random walk

Does land have a memory of its own? The film Children of Nature suggests that memory is strongly connected to the land on which the memory was created. Therefore, a walk on the beach combined with the sounds of waves crashing on the shore, and the feeling of wind blowing through your hair may illicit similar or random experiences that occurred years before. In this sense, experiences bleed into the land, whereby creating a pool of memories connected to a seemingly arbitrary symbol of its…

were serious at this point and of course, the DuoLingo app I was messing with on my iPhone while waiting for them to come pick me up gave my beginner status away from the jump. I did a scan of the parking lot and see my future Italian host mom Carmen walk towards me with a welcoming smile and bright red hair, loved her already. She gave me three kisses on the cheek and welcomed me into the car. Remember, zero English people, so it did not go as smoothly as what you might have imagined. Just…

kept walking until we found a nice place to rest under some trees. “Who wants to go swimming?” Mom asked. I didn’t want to. Let’s just say that me and the ocean disagree with each other. As we were talking, a random duck showed up and looked at us rather expectantly. I threw it a random cracker that I was eating and it gobbled it up happily. Mom thought it was a good idea to give the duck water and ran off to find something that would hold the water. “This duck kinda reminds me of the…

dependent period effects (for example a bivariate random walk). The model offer significant advantages over the Lee- Carter model. However both fail to tackle the cohort effect. Renshaw and Haberman (2006) Cohort Model The Renshaw- Haberman (2006) is an extended version of the Lee- Carter model with an extra parameter that gives the cohort effect to give .

Since 1984 the legal age to drink alcohol is 21 years old. The National Minimum drinking age act prohibited people under 21 in the United States to drink alcohol. Before 1984 the legal drinking age was 18 years old. There are many pros and cons to lowering the drinking age. Alcohol poisoning, drunk driving accidents, and stupid actions while being drunk happen to 18 year olds and 21 year olds the same even with the drinking again being 21. Some pros of the minimum drinking age being lowered…

There is multiple forms of intoxication now in this fiery pit that we walk on to this day. In the famous play written by Arthur Miller “The Crucible,” these girls performed this somewhat satanic witchcraft in the woods. And this child who put on a pathetic act where they accused everyone to be a witch. Why did she do it…

the school bus I thought of all the memories on the bus. I stepped up the stairs and saw Rodney mopey as ever sitting in the bus driver's seat. As I walked back among all the sad mopey faces I started to smell all the body odor. I sat down next to a random kid. I rode on the bus to school it was silent because everyone was so tired. Once we got there I walked into school said hi to everybody and waited for the bell to ring. Then I headed for the first time to my first period class. It was math…

You might not see how this is going to happen but you need to get ready. Your mind will tell you, you’ll never get well, you’ll never meet the right person, never accomplish that dream, but don’t believe those lies, the creator of the universe has already established a set time for your step forward. Even what may feel like a set back can actually be a set up for God to show up! His power is made manifest in our weakness. His power is greater than any force that’s trying to come against you.…

Jones like to give us random pop quizzes from time to time to make sure we are paying attention. This is something I would use if I were to be teaching his class because it really helps me understand what exactly we are doing. I would keep his grade-to-grade seating chart. This…

It was early, Monday morning, 7:00 o’clock sharp. I hit snooze but didn’t wake up again until 7:50. “10 minutes!” I screamed to no one imparticular. Rushing around my room, I grabbed a random outfit which consisted of ripped jeans and a sweatshirt. Putting it on quickly, I rushed out the door and onto the bus. Not even a second after I walked into the building, I hear, “Imani, you’re out of dress code!” If you were a student attending a school with a dress code where girls had more rules to…
