...School for many children across the country is a place where they are cared about, and not forgotten; it is a place where most kids can get away from the struggles of reality and have the love and support they need and deserve. Though to many people education isn’t a priority in lives, and neither are the school activities, it is the probably one of the only stable pieces of a child’s life. Everyone has their own safe place, for some its school, for others its church, and sometimes their safe place is a person or a group of people. No matter the safe place, each one should be protected and taken care of, just like the person who needs security in their lives. In Lynda Barry’s essay, she mentions that she and her brother are among the number...

...The essay “The Sanctuary of School” by Lynda Barry, includes many characteristics of a narration. She writes this essay how it happened to her when she was a little girl. Also, she talks about how school was her safe place and where she got her needed attention. She explained, “That feeling eased the moment I turned the corner and saw the dark outline of my school.” First, she wrote her essay from a first person point of view. The purpose has been to inform the reader that school is important to children. It is important because it not only helps them learn, but also gives them a place away from home to feel safe. This was an effective way to write because she used personal information like, “And for us, as for the steadily increasing number of neglected children in the country, the only place where we could count on being noticed was at school.” She explains that children these days do not receive the attention and help they need at home. Parents are more distracted with other priorities that they do not spend time with their kids. This helps the reader to understand what the schools are for children. Next, she writes her paper chronologically, starting when she wakes up in a panic and ending with a normal day at school. She was having a conflict with how she and her brother...

...Saint-Petersburg State University Faculty of Liberal Arts and Science Khitova Anna Midterm Paper on the Course of Comparative History of Europe Topic: «The Byzantium Gynarchy of the Late VIII: Irene The Athenian» Professors: Vladimir Ryzhkov Elif Demirtiken Saint-Petersburg 2015 The Byzantium Gynarchy of the Late VIII: Irene The Athenian There is no doubt that the Byzantine Empire was one of the greatest civilizations in the world’s history. It lasted approximately 1120 years more than any other empire. Of course, the central figure of the Byzantine statehood was an emperor. However, it would be wrong to claim that they ruled without any external help and support. Here I mean not only the civil servants but also - and especially - emperors’ wives. Empresses, whose status had not been as different from the emperors’ as it might seem, had a significant impact on the empire’s existence. Even though it was an era of androcracy, they influenced the emperors’ decisions and sometimes even replaced them. Was it possible for women to rule the Byzantine Empire solely? Was it legitimate? The exercise of full imperial power by women was of course not common, like in the Western Europe where queens seldom attain power, as power should always be reinforced by army and, consequently, military success1. That does not mean that Byzantine women were somehow different; it is just that men themselves sometimes hired other people to deal with all the military problems...

...Decision Support Systems December 22, 2014 Decision Support Systems Many businesses are faced with situations that need critical analysis, compilation of raw data, circulation of precise documents and effective utilization of computer systems. Frito Lay is an example of a company who implemented various decision support systems (DSS) into their business model. A DSS is a “highly flexible and interactive IT system that is designed to support decision making when the problem is not structured.” (Haag, Cummins p.162) Managers require information to guide their organization in the right direction. DSS increases productivity, efficiency, and enhances understanding of business processes. DSS helped carve their business success, facilitate management making qualitative decisions, and turned their raw data into valued information that was needed by employees and management. DSS assist the management and employees of Frito-Lay by delivering statistical and data retrieving systems. Employees of Frito-Lay also used DSS systems in searching information that was germane to their job function. The three main components of a DSS are model management, data management and interface management. “The model requests the information from the data management component, analyzes the information, and sends the results to the user interface management component, which in turn passes the results back,” (Haag, Cummins p.163) to the user. There are many types of DSS systems and hybrid DSS systems...

...Jeffreys’ proudest moment was when he saw the relief in the mother’s face when she heard the results. Afterwards the police turned to him and his method of DNA fingerprinting to help in solving the rape and murder of two young girls, Dawn and Lynda. As soon as Dawn’s body was found, the police realized that they were looking for a serial killer because two-and-a-half years earlier, another 15-year-old, Lynda Mann, had been raped and murdered a few hundred yards from where Dawn was found. Lynda’s clothes had been removed in the same manner as Dawn’s, and she too had been raped before she had been choked with her own scarf. Detectives also believed that the killer had been a local man, someone who knew the area, and had possibly known Lynda and Dawn. While the police had been unable to find Lynda’s killer, they quickly made an arrest after the discovery of Dawn’s body. Richard Buckland, a 17-year-old boy with intellectual disabilities, and who knew Dawn, appeared to know details of the crime that had not been told to the public. When questioned he repeatedly confessed to the crime, and then recanted his confession. On 10 August, he was charged with Dawn’s murder, and appeared in court the next day. Buckland refused to admit to the mutder of Lynda, however. He was adamant that he was not guilty of that crime. The police, believed that both girls had been murdered by the same person, and were convinced he was lying. Jeffreys was brought in to carry out tests on Buckland’s blood and on...

...Student Teacher English Date A Critique of “The Sanctuary of School” by Lynda Barry The arts open up a world of incredible possibilities, limited only by your own imagination. Its expression is a great outlet for freedom, beauty, and in some cases mystery. For Lynda Barry, art was a form of healing; her school was a place of refuge and safety. In her essay, Barry argues that the school system serves an irreplaceable position in society; it is a place of refuge for those children who are left weary or battered from their unstable home life. Barry states that as a country we are told, “Cutting the budget for public schools is necessary.” (71) But at what cost? What or who are we sacrificing when those budget cuts are put into practice? If children look to school to be a sanctuary for them away from their neglectful parents (or whomever they may have), then those who allow such cuts to pass are equally guilty of negligence, if not more so, of the children in our society. Thousands of thousands would be affected by the actions of the few who chose to do so. It’s like telling our children that we know they aren’t particularly wanted at home, but they certainly aren’t going to be wanted anywhere else. Actions taken to limit the funding of our school system reveal the priorities of our government, and Barry points out that such regulations imply that, “Not only are public schools not important, but that the children who attend them… are not important either.” (71) Good teachers...

...“Two Questions,” by Lynda Barry, is a short story about believing in yourself and your work. Barry talks about something that everyone goes through sometimes in their lives. We all criticize ourselves trying to please others. Criticizing ourselves will only lower our self confidence. Lynda Barry teaches us not to care about others opinion and do what makes us happy. If we try to please others’ then we’ll never be happy. While reading the story, I realized that I used to ask the same two questions as Lynda Barry when I finished my work. The two questions Barry asks are, “Is this good? Does this suck?" (168). Throughout middle school and some parts of high school, I used to always second guess myself by asking these two questions. I would rely on others’ opinion. I didn’t think that it was good enough until someone else told me it was. “But the two questions find everybody” (Barry, 170). Just like me, you might find yourself asking these same questions. You might also find yourself asking these questions to others. You might rely on others opinion more than your own. You might trust their opinions more then you trust your own. This text agrees with the view I have of the world. Our society cares more about others opinion than their own. “As, for bad drawings, I tried my best not to ever make them”. We try to please others more than ourselves. That is how our society works. We believe in others more than we believe in ourselves. “For the next 30 years I chased after...

...Lynda K. Ilea CJS/230 Instructor: Margaret Peck What is your opinion of probation? What should happen with probation programs in the future? Do you think it would be appropriate to increase restrictions imposed on probation? Explain your rationale. Probation is a good concept and does work for the most part. When I was put on probation I really did not understand the true meaning of what Probation really meant. After being violated because of dirty drug urine's, I was returned back into the court system, later I was sentenced to time in jail. My real opinion on this, having your lawyer drill into your head the importance of what probation and rehabilitation truly means to the accused and the addict. Probation programs needs to concentrate on the rehabilitation of the individual that has obviously lost their way. If we spend the time to find out what is going on with the accused, we will find that there are usually some serious underlining issues that have caused them to do the things that they have done to land themselves in jail. Programs should focus more on the rehabilitation of the individual; everyone deserves the education on how to fix their problem. I do believe that the state should not always pick up the tab, so it should be treated as if the person is applying for a student loan. Promising to pay back to society what they have taken out of it. I never understood the error of my ways until I maintain a substantial amount of clean time. The longer...
