On guard Rainsford…” Rainsford and Zaroff knew that they were about to battle. Consequently, they both knew that their lives were on the line. Then Rainsford started thinking that if he didn’t win, this savage man killer would continue his cruel acts. “General, you are outmatched, I have the knife you gave to me at the start of this.” Rainsford began, “You may as well step down and let me lock you away in a prison, or if you choose to fight I will end you with the same weapon you bestowed onto me.” Zaroff replied “I see, you have trapped me and clearly aren’t planning on fighting fair.” Zaroff put his hand up in defeat. Rainsford then knew that the general valued his life more than to give it up in a duel he had no chance in. Even though some people would consider this act cowardly Rainsford felt that Zaroff would have plenty of fun in prison trying to work his way to the top. “Get down onto your knees, I don’t want you trying anything funny.” ordered Rainsford. After he had made sure that general Zaroff wasn’t going to move he started to cut a strip of the curtains off. The fabric was a deep, velvety red with many intricate stitches. It was also very thick, so it would be perfect for tying his wrists together like makeshift handcuffs. He began to think about how this splendid fabric would almost be too comfortable...

...Joel S. Lynn KSU 1101 13 November 2012 EMT Research Paper EMTs are such an essential part of society nowadays. In my opinion, this is one of the most important jobs out there. For just a moment, imagine that you are driving down the road on a rainy night and lose control of your car. You go flying off the road and into a tree on the side of the road. Everything goes fuzzy and all you can see are flashes of reality. You fade in and out, hearing sirens and seeing lights, but you have no control of your body. The next thing you know, you wake up inside of a small room, freaking out because you have no idea what has just happened. Eventually you realize that the small room you are in is the back of an ambulance, and you are being taken care of by an EMT. Without the immediate care of the EMTs who rushed to the scene, you would most likely be dead. Events like this take place every single day, and when these events happen, it is up to EMTs to save our lives. An EMT, or Emergency Medical Technician, is “a person who is trained to give emergency medical care at the scene of an accident or in an ambulance (EMT).” These are the people who respond to 911 emergency calls. Once on the scene of an emergency, the EMTs evaluate the condition that the patient is in. EMTs are trained to handle all sorts of emergency situations, whether it is fixing up a cut, or taking care of a patient who has lost a limb. In the situation that someone needs to be rushed to a hospital, an EMT will restrain...
