...the wall where the occasional stray syringe cap is lazily tucked in between it. Feet are throbbing; stomach is rumbling, long day, clocked in at four this morning, just want to sleep forever. Following this plastic trimming, the hall seems endless, does it turn left or right, maybe a dead end—you could rarely ever tell if it weren’t for the directional signs. I think this is the room; the girl with the plush stuffed toy bear they said. The wall itself is also white, neutral, seldom decorated with anything other than policies and inspirational posters which are not really meant to look at, more for comfort really. Besides, you could hardly ever see the posters as the halls are constantly filled with running feet. There are lights everywhere, on the ceiling, on the floor, on the walls, above every room, however the hall is surprisingly dim, making it difficult to read patient numbers on doors. Found it, the room with the girl with the plush stuffed toy bear. Finally get to sit. A firm cheap sofa chair that isn’t meant for long term visits—mostly only for show and requirement—but feet are throbbing, body is tired, wishing the pain down both legs couldn’t be felt, so the discomfort of the chair is actually comfortable. Looking out of the room into the hall, everything is rushing by seen only for a second and no longer; a crash cart flashes by, blurred faces, a haze of multiple color-coded staff, the occasional gleam of something metallic. The nurse’s station,...

...As I am on my way to visit my Uncle Ken at his new residence, Kimwell Nursing Home, I can’t help but think of all the great memories I have of him. We would spend every Easter with him & my Aunt Mabel at their house, and my 2 sisters and I took a nice picture with Uncle Ken every year. He was always a very happy, lively man who loved to joke around with us kids.Unfortunately my aunt passed away & my uncle was now lonely. I tried my best along with the rest of my family to take care of him at home, but as he got older,now 96, it became obvious that he needed more than what we could give him. Now, I am gong to visit him in this place that isn’t his home & definitely doesn’t feel like home. As I walk towards the building I always get on overwhelming feeling of sadness. I hate that my uncle has to be in here & that he has lost all that happiness he once had inside of him. I can’t even imagine how it feels to have to sell almost everything you ever owned & move into a strange place, with strange faces everywhere. I always think he feels like we just gave up on him, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. He needed the help that only a skilled facility could provide. I finally get into the building & as soon as I enter there is a man sitting at a little desk, with a big book in front of him. That big book is where we have to “sign in” with our name, who we are there to visit, & the time we are entering. It makes this place feel more like a jail than anything else. It definitely...

...will only last until poorly train guards choose to use their guns without full comprehension of the extends of their actions. There have been many incidents involving police and armed guards doing exactly that, many lives have been lost to these incidents. “A sheriff’s deputy was at Columbine High School during the shooting, fired his weapon early, missed four times, and the total number of victims rose to 13”(Source C). The armed guards are there to protect not to add to the number of casualties. An armed guard in the hallway might give some a sense of protection to some. However most would say a student wouldn't feel safe with armed men patrolling the halls. Schools are where student go to learn, and to some students, school is their safe place. How can you feel safe when you know there are people with guns roaming the halls just waiting for something to happen? This will slowly affect kids to be afraid of what to expect when they go out in the world. Chances of another school massacre happening are very slim, and when it does happen, the guards and qualified staff are useless. The last time a school massacre as big as the Sandy Hook shooting with Adam Lanza happened was at Bath Consolidated School in Michigan in 1927. When “a...

...101R Corey Hall 9/21/11 Jordan and I were playing hide and seek. He was seeking and I was hiding under my aunt's bed. I could hear my aunt calling for Jordan to come into the kitchen, so I followed him. Peeking around the corner, I could see a short, slim black women sitting in a chair at the kitchen table. When Jordan entered the kitchen she motioned for him to take a seat in the chair across from her. I could hear her asking him questions about his mom and things that had happened to him. They talked for about thirty minutes the she and my aunt exchanged words in private. Then my aunt turned to tell Jordan to get his belongings because he was going with the lady in the kitchen. I had a funny feeling the entire time the lady was talking to my cousin. I could tell something wasn’t right, because we never really have company and when we do they always tell us kids to go play. Today was different and I was scared of what would happen. As Jordan started to pack his things I started to cry. At the time I didn’t know why I was crying but it felt nesseccary. Once Jordan finished packing we took what seemed like the longest walk ever down the hall back to the kitchen where the lady was waiting to take my cousin away. "Ready to go?" Jordan didn’t respond he just turned around hugged me and said goodbye. I watched out of...

...felt like it was miles away. The sun beamed on us as if it was watching us. Suddenly In a blink of an eye the sun disappeared and it poured down with rain, we saw a massive deserted house in front of us. As we headed towards the tree lined path, the tree’s towered over us as we walked towards the house. The house glared at us, I had unwanted feeling as if the house wanted us to retreat. But I ignored the signs and continued. As we got to the porch we saw a timeworn door. We pushed the door and it creaked open, the big rusty hinges holding onto it for dear life. The cold breeze punched my face. We found ourselves in the hallway. All the furniture was covered in white sheets. The floor had a massive old red dirty carpet spread across the hall like butter. The wallpaper was hanging off the walls; revealing long jagged cracks. Glancing up my eyes were drawn to the huge gilt edged chandelier that was hanging precariously from the ceiling. it was the only thing that made the house look better. Without warning I heard the floor boards creak upstairs, the hair prickled up my neck like a cat with a scare. I had a feel we weren’t alone in the house. My heart was beating faster than a cheetah. I felt in an awkward position as I couldn’t go outside and I didn’t want to be inside. There was a weird smell. It smelt like the house was rotting. The house was damp and mouldy, it was slowly deteriorating. We both headed for the kitchen then in a flash we fell through the floorboards and...

...Week 1, Control Jar: For the first week, the jars were filled with dirt, water, a dead stick, and a dead leaf. Once everything was inside the jars, you could barely see through it. The dirt was floating all round in the water, and the algae floated at the top and sat near the middle. Although it was hard to see, their was a small tadpole like organism that was moving fast around the edge of the jar. Week 2, Control Jar : The jar had settled down quite a lot over the course of one week. The jar was almost clear, and things behind the jar were some what visible. The mud settled to the bottom, but water could be seen in between layers of mud still. Since the mud had settled towards the bottom, the stick was more visible than before. Also, the algae had changed, it was all sitting towards the top, with only a few sitting towards the bottom. The ones towards the bottom seemed to have started to turn a brownish-black color. Still, there was visible organisms moving around in the jar. Once under the microscope, many more organisms were visible. The surface of the jar had no organisms, even after testing water, and some algae. In the middle of the jar tiny fast moving dots could be seen called colpidium. Also, a swordfish looking organisms moved across for a split second and is known as peranema. At the bottom layer, many organisms could b e seen. More colpidium could be seen, also a large slow moving spikey ball. The spiky ball is known as volvox. A long skinny...

...home after the previous governess died. Douglas begins to read from the written record, and the story shifts to the governess’s point of view as she narrates her strange experience. The governess begins her story with her first day at Bly, the country home, where she meets Flora and a maid named Mrs. Grose. The governess is nervous but feels relieved by Flora’s beauty and charm. The next day she receives a letter from her employer, which contains a letter from Miles’s headmaster saying that Miles cannot return to school. The letter does not specify what Miles has done to deserve expulsion, and, alarmed, the governess questions Mrs. Grose about it. Mrs. Grose admits that Miles has on occasion been bad, but only in the ways boys ought to be. The governess is reassured as she drives to meet Miles. One evening, as the governess strolls around the grounds, she sees a strange man in a tower of the house and exchanges an intense stare with him. She says nothing to Mrs. Grose. Later, she catches the same man glaring into the dining-room window, and she rushes outside to investigate. The man is gone, and the governess looks into the window from outside. Her image in the window frightens Mrs. Grose, who has just walked into the room....

...character? To what extent is her final protest justified? How do the other characters portray themselves by their attitudes toward the ritual? Mrs. Tess Hutchinson stands out right from the start: she arrives at the lottery late. She explains to Mr. Summers that she was doing her dishes and forgot what day it was. The town treats her lateness lightly, but several people comment on it, “in voices just loud enough to be heard across the crowd, ‘Here comes your Missus, Hutchinson,’ and ‘ Bill, she made it after all.’” (Jackson 501). It is ironic that she is the one who wins the lottery, and is fated to be stoned. So Tess Hutchinson has already been noticed by people as one who is not entirely part of the group. Before the drawing she is friendly with the other women, pretending to be pleased to be present. The very moment that she sees is her family that draws the black dot, though, her egotism is evident. “You didn’t give him time enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn’t fair!” (Jackson 504). She continues to scream about the unfairness of the ritual up until her stoning. Mrs. Hutchinson knew the lottery was wrong, but she never did anything about it. She pretends as much as she could to enjoy it, when she truly hated it all along. Maybe Jackson is suggesting that the more hypocritical one is, the more of a target they are. Mrs. Hutchinson was clearly the target of her fears. I think sometimes we have no problem remarking on people’s adultery until it is ourselves that...

...Strange Man’s Arrival Summary A stranger arrives in Bramblehurst railway station. He is bundled from head to foot with only the tip of his nose showing. He enters the Coach & Horses Inn and demands a room and a fire. Mrs. Hall, the owner prepares a supper for him and offers to take his coat and hat, but he refuses to take them off. When he finally removes the hat, his entire head is swathed in a bandage. Mrs. Hall thinks he has endured some accident. She tries to get him to talk about himself, but he is taciturn with her, although not particularly rude. CHAPTER 2. Mr. Teddy Henfrey’s First Impressions Summary Teddy Henfrey, a clock repairman, comes to the inn for tea. Mrs. Hall asks him to “repair the clock” in the stranger’s room. Teddy deliberately takes as long as he can with the clock, taking it apart and reassembling it for no reason. The stranger finally gets him to hurry up and leave. Offended, Teddy talks himself into believing that the stranger is someone of a suspicious nature, perhaps even wanted by the police and is wrapped up to conceal his identity. Teddy runs into Mr. Hall and warns him about the stranger, informing him that a “lot of luggage” will be coming. It would seem that the stranger intends to stay awhile. Mr. Hall goes home intending to investigate the stranger, but is put off by the short-tempered demeanor of his wife. CHAPTER 3. The Thousand and One Bottles Summary The stranger’s luggage arrives at the inn. Numerous crates fill...

...May I beg that you will write at once to the mother of this unfortunate woman--to Mrs. Catherick--to ask for her testimony in support of the explanation which I have just offered to you?" I saw Miss Halcombe change colour, and look a little uneasy. Sir Percival's suggestion, politely as it was expressed, appeared to her, as it appeared to me, to point very delicately at the hesitation which her manner had betrayed a moment or two since. I hope, Sir Percival, you don't do me the injustice to suppose that I distrust you," she said quickly. "Certainly not, Miss Halcombe. I make my proposal purely as an act of attention to YOU. Will you excuse my obstinacy if I still venture to press it?" He walked to the writing-table as he spoke, drew a chair to it, and opened the paper case. "Let me beg you to write the note," he said, "as a favour to ME. It need not occupy you more than a few minutes. You have only to ask Mrs. Catherick two questions. First, if her daughter was placed in the Asylum with her knowledge and approval. Secondly, if the share I took in the matter was such as to merit the expression of her gratitude towards myself? Mr. Gilmore's mind is at ease on this unpleasant subject, and your mind is at ease—pray set my mind at ease also by writing the note." "You oblige me to grant your request, Sir Percival, when I would much rather refuse it." With those words Miss Halcombe rose from her place and went to the writing-table. Sir Percival thanked her, handed her a...

...He went to where Miss Mijares sat, a tall, big man, walking with an economy of movement, graceful and light, a man who knew his body and used it well. He sat in the low chair worn decrepit by countless other interviewers and laid all ten fingerprints carefully on the edge of her desk. She pushed a sheet towards him, rolling a pencil along with it. While he read the question and wrote down his answers, she glanced at her watch and saw that it was ten. "I shall be coming back quickly," she said, speaking distinctly in the dialect (you were never sure about these people on their first visit, if they could speak English, or even write at all, the poor were always proud and to use the dialect with them was an act of charity), "you will wait for me." As she walked to the cafeteria, Miss Mijares thought how she could easily have said, Please wait for me, or will you wait for me? But years of working for the placement section had dulled the edges of her instinct for courtesy. She spoke now peremtorily, with an abruptness she knew annoyed the people about her. When she talked with the jobless across her desk, asking them the damning questions that completed their humiliation, watching pale tongues run over dry lips, dirt crusted handkerchiefs flutter in trembling hands, she was filled with an impatience she could not understand. Sign here, she had said thousands of times, pushing the familiar form across, her finger held to a line, feeling the impatience grow at sight of the man...

...Article 86 of the Uniform Code Of Military Justice. This Article covers Point and Place of Duty. That means from PT formation to COB that is where you will be. What a lot of Soldiers do not understand that includes appointments made by them or someone else. We have appointment times, SP times, formation times and many other start times that dictate we will be there. If a Convoy has an SP time of fifteen hundred hours and the Soldiers decide to show up late because they did not feel like getting ready on time people could die. If they rolled out on time, they may have avoided the ambush or avoided the Vbid that hit them in the bottleneck. It sounds extreme but time management plays a critical role in the Army. When you make an appointment that spot has been reserved for you. That means if you have been given the last slot someone else is going to have to wait for another one to open up. This could be one day or one month. And because you missed it someone else is still going to have to wait when they could have had that spot and been there. If you are going to miss the appointment or cannot make it due to mission they do allow us to cancel the appointment with in twenty four hours. The Army allows us to make appointments for whatever we need. Be it for a medical appointment, house goods, CIF, Smoking Sensation or whatever we need these recourses are available to us. But when Soldiers start missing appointments theses systems start to become inefficient. What a lot of Soldiers do...
