improve wildlife conservation on campus. After observing 12 different stops on a three-mile long trip of Putah Creek‚ the average score I calculated as part of the university’s sustainability program is 1.83 on a scale of zero to three. This is a score that I expected from a university dedicated to sustainability and conservation‚ but there is room for improvement. In order to improve this score and balance high/low scores the university should have some areas reserved strictly for wildlife conservation

‘The concept of risk aversion is fundamental to investment analyses’ – A statement evaluation Risk is almost always present when an investment is taken; the evaluation of risk begins immediately with analysts asking questions about the level of risk associated with an investment‚ performing calculations to measure the risk involved‚ also diversifications may be considered to minimise risk. This clear focus and proactive approach to risk minimisation implies risk aversion plays a major role in
