Randi Mitchell 5/1/13 Ride Along Paper I went on my ride along on Tuesday‚ April 30 with the NM State Police. I rode along with senior patrolman Israel Rodriguez. I had a lot of fun and think I learned a lot about how law enforcement actually works.

He said that it’s hard enough to get evidence admitted

Even African-Americans from poor inner-cities that do attend universities continue to suffer academically due to the stress they suffer from having family and friends still in the poverty stricken inner cities. Education is also used as a means to perpetuate hyper segregation. Real estate agents often implicitly

I said to myself‚ “I’ll soon be in the air alone without my family”. I slowed my pace to further enjoy what was happening. Swarms of people walked around me knowing that one

I’ve decided to base my Oral Presentation on “The Taxi Ride” (by P.E.R.) on the main character and on some of her characteristics. My presentation will try to focus on a sort of recapitulation of the reasons Helen Jones’ life appears to be significantly praiseworthy. Having so much to grief about‚ Helen’s behaviour was commendable since she was loving in all her roles (as a mother‚ as a wife‚ as a grandmother‚ as a housewife) and‚ despite her routinary life‚ she would not complain but keep her pains

RISK THEORY - LECTURE NOTES 1. INTRODUCTION The primary subject of Risk Theory is the development and study of mathematical and statistical models to describe and predict the behaviour of insurance portfolios‚ which are simply financial instruments composed of a (possibly quite large) number of individual policies. For the purposes of this course‚ we will define a policy as a random (or stochastic) process generating a deterministic income in the form of periodic premiums‚ and incurring financial
