...WALK TOUR REACTION PAPER Last, Monday, September 21, 2015, we had our "Food" walk tour in Binondo with Mr. Ivan Dy. The tour was very tiring and at the same time stomach filling. It was tiring because the weather was so hot and we just walked to go to our destination. It was stomach filling because we went to 5 destinations and just ate chinese foods the entire tour. The foods were delicious. Mr. Ivan is a fun and entertaining tour guide. Even though he had mic, we werent able to understand some of what he’s saying. He wasn’t able to catch all the attention of the students. Last Sunday, September 27, 2015, we had our Intramuros tour with Mr. Carlos Celdran. The tour last for about 3 hours. It was called a walk tour but there really is not much walking. We went to 4 destinations and sit down to listen to him. The tour was tiring and at the same time interesting. It was tiring because the weather was kind of hot and there are many of us and it was interesting because Mr. Carlos Celdran made the tour very entertaining with his props, the changed of hats and the throwing of santan from his pocket. From the way he delivers, it looks like we were just watching a play. Every time he says the line “Walk This Way!” it excites everyone and follows him and you can see a smile on everyone’s faces. It was one of the reasons why the tour was exciting. He even gave all of us a chocolate, to be specific choc nut, for answering his question. I noticed that almost all the people who belong to...

...Econometrics of Random Walk Hypothesis ABSTRACT The random walk hypothesis is a key instrument used in the analysis of forecasting in the economic and financial market. It is used primarily in the forecasting of the prices of stocks. This is useful to determine and forecast the prices of stocks given previous stock prices. This paper discusses the basis of the hypothesis, the two types of random walk hypothesis, its framework, methodologies and the analysis of its repercussions. INTRODUCTION The random walk hypothesis states that stock price changes have the same distribution and are independent of one another, so the past movement or trend of a stock price or of the market as a whole cannot be used to predict its future price or any possible future trends. The concept originated in the late 1800s from Jules Regnault, a French broker, and Louis Bachelier, a French mathematician, whose Ph.D. dissertation titled "The Theory of Speculation". The same ideas were later developed and studied further by Paul Cootner, an MIT Sloan School of Management professor, in his 1964 book The Random Character of Stock Market Prices. The term was popularized by the 1973 book, A Random Walk Down Wall Street, by Burton Malkiel, a professor of economics at Princeton University, and was used earlier in Eugene Fama's 1965 article "Random Walks In Stock Market Prices”. The theory that stock prices move randomly was earlier proposed by Maurice Kendall in his 1953 paper, “The Analytics of Economic Time...

...The very existence of the squadron was a milestone. The U.S. Army was still segregated during the war, and it took the intercession of the Roosevelt administration to authorize the training of black pilots. As they were trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama, they became known as the Tuskegee Airmen. The poem "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," which Hughes wrote while crossing the Mississippi, first appeared in 1921. The poem evokes African heritage, and is widely anthologized. Hughes's first collection of poems, The Weary Blues, appeared in 1926. The essay "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," which Hughes published in 1926, was considered something of a manifesto for black writers and artists in America. In 1930 Hughes published his first novel, Not Without Laughter, and throughout the 1930s he wrote a number of plays and short stories. Langston Hughes traveled extensively, was active in radical politics, and wielded considerable literary influence until his death, in Harlem, in 1967. It is seldom argued that America’s youth does not at least somewhat benefit from having an annual Black History Month, however, several critics argue that the adult population now perceives the month of February from a different angle.[2] One question that has been raised is in regard to why the month chosen to celebrate Black history is February, which is the shortest month of the year.[3] It is argued that Black History Month has become a “ready made excuse to ignore...

...A Walk to Remember The story is not about mental illness, but the mental and emotional state and how it affects families. Several of the emotional responses are happiness, love, sadness, and loss. One question to ask, “What makes more sense, listening to your head or listening to your heart?” A Walk to Remember is about a high school girl (Jamie) who has Leukemia and a boy (Landon) during his last year of high school will end with a walk that he will never forget. It will change his life mentally and emotionally. Jamie’s illness was not known about except by her father and herself. A Walk to Remember shows opposites, Landon and Jamie. Landon is a typical rebellious teenager whose social life is the “in crowd”. He was very popular with his peers in high school, but feels there is something missing in his life. Landon did not care about attending classes or even graduating. He was the handsome jock, although insecure and vulnerable. He was full of anger and hate for his father, who left his mother and himself when he was young. Jamie is a serious and conservative girl who knew right from wrong and what she wants out of life, setting goals for herself. Landon and his friends consider her a nerd. Jamie portrays a bible hugging, science fiction bookworm who wears the same sweater every day. What others feel about her does not matter. One unique thing about Jamie, she is incredibly friendly to everyone. She enjoys helping elders, visiting orphanages, tutor unfortunate children...

...1. World Balance * When my boy started with his schooling, one of the things he needs is a white rubber shoes. I enrolled him in Virgen del Pilar School which is being run by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Anne. They want to teach kids simplicity so aside from "no jewelries and colorful accessories" their rubber shoes for their PE subject needs to be plain white, no colorful ones. It's been a practice to us to buy altogether all their school needs so we spent half day in the mall to get done with everything. Inside the department store, there's this wide display of kids' shoes so we let him pick his fave. I think my kid has a great choice. He chose this white World Balance rubber shoes that can be easily wear by kids like him. All he needs to do is wear his socks and slide his feet on to the holes and presto, he is off to go to school. The bottom of the shoes is great. It protects him from slipping and his feet can relax on the soft pad of it. His first school year is done and I don't see much change on the shoes. Great buy indeed. * Some of their Casual Shoes seems to be durable. Very comfy too, and well thought off in terms of comfort. Also a bonus it looks real good. * beautiful.. cyempre! * When I was in high school, any kid who wore World Balance shoes would be labelled as baduy and be subjected to ridicule so imported brands like Adidas, Reebok and Nike were THE shoes to wear to keep up with the crowd. * Yes, your right its cheap in price and materials...

...North End for our walk-about. After we got off at the Haymarket T-stop on a cold, rainy Boston day, we first walked the streets of the surrounding neighborhood before heading to the Old North Church. This notable church is located where the famous phrase "One if by land, and two if by sea" signal by Paul Revere was sent during his midnight ride before the Battles of Lexington and Concord. I was surprised that the church was still decently maintained, even though it was built in 1723 and still being used today. It is the currently the oldest active church in Boston. We turned the corner and right in front of the church was the Paul Revere statue standing high and tall commemorating his memorable ride during the American Revolution. It is claimed to be one of the most photographed sculptures in Boston, which the bronze statue took 16 years to create and 40 years to install in its place. I have always heard about Boston having the feel of New York but with older architecture and history, but I never realized how much history Boston actually possesses right in the heart of the city. I spent weeks and weeks learning about the American Revolution during junior year in US History back in Houston, so being able to see the historical landmarks was quite remarkable. I couldn’t get over the fact that I was walking on almost the exact same land Paul Revere stepped on almost 300 years ago. We then walked downhill and ended up at the Waterfront, home of Boston’s Harbor Walk. The harbor had...

...A Walk into the Forbidden Forest (A true story) By Jacob Conteh, Editor, Diaspora Dispatch News My heart jumped out of its cage. My greasy knees danced in disunity, my lips quivered, my mouth dried up and my hair rose to the top of the trees. My forehead dripped with sweat and my sweaty palms trembled. My eyes refused to blink, and my lips quivered. There, a few feet in front of me, sat a killer python coiled up to the size of a huge tractor tire with eyes pointing at us and tongue salivating with hunger. I motioned to my little brother Donald and pointed my fingers to the monster. We tiptoed backwards for a minutes, turned around and ran for our lives. My people, the Thaymnehs (Temnes), are a warrior tribe that reportedly emigrated from a region called Futa Jallon in present-day Guinea to Sierra Leone. My village, Patfu Mayawa, is a farming village of about 200 hundred inhabitants in central Sierra Leone. While most Thaymnehs are either Muslims or Christians, some Thaymnehs sometimes mix their religion with their traditional beliefs. Among those beliefs is that there are gods who dwell on forests and mountains. For the people of Patfu Mayawa, my hometown, they believe there are “devils” that dwell at Chainkafutu, a thick virgin forest hill that towers above the village. Before each of the many celebrations at Patfu that signaled girls’ and boys’ initiation to adulthood – the Poro for boys and Bondo for girls - the village headman would walk the half...

...PERSONAL: THE FOREST Personal: The Forest Susan Jones DeVry Univeristy PERSONAL: THE FOREST 2. Personal: The Forest “A walk in the woods” is a chapter in the book, Omnivore’s Dilema by Michael Pollan. This chapter reminds me of where I was raised in the back woods of Kentucky. Our property was attached to one of the largest forests in Eastern Kentucky, known as The Daniel Boone National Forest. This forest is beautiful in any direction that one can see. From the beautiful tall oaks, to the large pine trees and their needles covering the spongy forest floor. There are beautiful green ferns, leafy vegetation, thickets and rock cliffs. There are so many wonderful things to see and hear in this forest, which provide a natural home and shelter for many animals to live. My experiences and memories of the forest and hunting have lead me to have mixed feelings about hunting which will be examined in the following paragraphs. Omnivore’s Dilema has brought back memories from home, and yes that is the back woods where I grew up. In many ways, it is quite easy for me to relate to the chapters written about hunting by Mr. Pollan. Hunting is something my father and my brothers enjoyed doing together. It wasn’t as much as a sport to them it was a necessity. Actually it was our meat source for our daily meals. There were lots of different game to hunt; deer, rabbit...

...Serendipity Walk A chance could be very clever now and again because it doesn’t appear too many at a time that’s why if there is one, I suggest, you grab it so close! This is what I always learn from my everyday undertakings. Well, as we all coexist and live as a society together, it is of the essence that a code of demeanour is recognized to live harmoniously; to be able to make things proper, to do things in a right way, to show good influences to others, to implement creative ways of dealing with everyday activities. While seeing the beauty of life, I noticed that we are always confused about how to differentiate between what is right or wrong, both personally and professionally. This is just one simple thing that may lead to a great distinction as to how people act towards a scenario which could be his own life saver when it comes to his job, school concerns, family constraints, or some other relationships as they may deem very important to him. Looking at different places, while strolling inside the malls, or even on my way to school or back to our home, I see faces of people from whom I can feel diverse sentiments. Some are happy- go- lucky. Some may seem problematic. A lot of them, I see, are unsmiling and serious, although some are witty and funny-looking. I believe, these auras help us cope up with the very rough surface of professionalism, in connection to ethics, of course. Based on some existing distinctness, ethical behavior is something that goes beyond...
