Zolah leaned against the terminal and coughed. The ground forces had finally beaten Revan’s army back. She hoped that the distraction had been enough to give the temple assault team enough time to deal with Revan. Reports poured in about a beam of light flashing through the sky, some claiming to have heard a voice. The possibilities of what it could mean send a cold shiver up her spine, but she refused to accept failure without concrete evidence. A hand rested on Zolah’s shoulder, and she turned to find Vector standing behind her. “Do we,” she paused to clear her throat again. She’d shouted orders non-stop since the first attack and her voice cracked with the strain. “Do we have casualty reports?” Vector nodded, proffering a datapad. …show more content…
“They’ve done it. Everyone is coming back.” Vector nodded, eyes still on the floor. Zolah stepped between his knees to wrap her arms around his shoulders. She pulled his head against her chest and ran her fingers through his hair. There were things that she could say to try to soothe his bruised soul, but everything sounded inadequate in her mind. Vector needed someone capable of compassion, someone who could understand his pain. “Let me send for Ashara to ease your mind,” she finally decided. “I’m sure Darth Nox won’t mind me owing her a favor.” Vector’s only response was a resigned sigh. Medical Tent #5 Cormac helped Fynta seat Jorgan on one of the triage beds and left in search of Elara. The reports he heard weren’t uplifting, and she wasn’t responding to his hails. Triage had spilled onto the battlefield, and a lot of medics were reported as injured or KIA while attempting to reach patients. Elara already had two medals for rescuing comrades under fire, so he knew exactly where she’d be. Cormac bounced from person to person, asking if they’d seen his wife, but everyone was either too distracted, or they simply didn’t know. He could feel panic rising in his chest and nearly jumped out of his skin when someone touched his arm. “Come on, we’ll find her.” Fynta took Cormac’s arm and pulled towards the speeders. He climbed on behind her grudgingly. Balic didn’t want to check the battlefield, that’s where all the dead medics were. He wasn’t as strong
William Kamkwamba William Kamkwamba was a protagonist who had the dream to build a windmill that powered his house. William then set his mind to do that. After William was kicked out of school for not being up to date with his fines, set out and started to build a windmill. In no time at all William had built “Electric Wind” out of old parts such as: a broken bicycle, tractor fan blade, an old shock absorber, and blue gum trees. William was able to build this because he is confident, patient, and smart.
"Yeah," Victoria mumbled, turning the corner, "But now that the adrenaline has faded away it's starting to hurt." She looked like she was in pain. Her face was consorted in pain, her eyebrows pinched together as she bit her bottom lip as she held her injured arm.
Across the room, he saw Dietrich Gerber lying on a clean hospital bed, his condition having been stabilized several minutes earlier. Following his stabilization, Gerber’s wounds were being tended by Siegrune and Waltraute. The others in the room were either leaning on the still sturdy walls around them
"Another ambulance just arrived for him. Squad 36 took over your two patients. The other engine is working on the fire. Anything we can do?" Cap asked quietly.
The team watched as Arden was brought out on a stretcher by two paramedics. Shaun followed closely behind.
“Medics here, who needs help?” he questioned. It’s almost like Sasha never heard me tell him I was fine.
“Cipher Nine speaks with the authority of the Empire. Your job, hunters, is to keep her alive until she finds the target,” Darth Kozen responded, pressing his forefinger into the table as if to drill into them the importance of his order. Zolah would have preferred to bring one of her own along, but Kozen claimed to have worked with these two before and assured her they would get the job
“Hey, you can’t die yet old man, stay here and I’ll grab some supplies from the office!” Tristin yelled as he ran in the direction of the nurse’s office. Tristin frantically searched through the room and came up with a roll of gauze, some medical scissors and a few advil. “Well, it’s better than nothing I suppose.” Suddenly Tristin was grabbed from behind and shoved forwards into the ground.
He swept her chin into his hand and turned her to face him. In a rich, smooth voice he said to her, “Stop it Nessa. You know it kills me to see you in tears.”
“She’s told me,” Jorgan answered, barely able to keep the growl from his voice. Fynta watched him warily, her arms and legs crossed to hide her own
“Ava. She’s my one reason to live. If you can’t live for me or yourself, live for her, she needs you. I need you.” She got choked up, tears ran down her face.
Silently, our formation presses on without another peep of sound, deep forboding permeating the cool winds of Bialyia. Robin was deeply right about this being the end of the line, I can feel the coming danger coursing through my bones. Whatever Project Solar Dawn is, the inner depths of my soul is telling me that it's worse than we imagined. And anyone of us could never return from this adventure, much like the ones we read in stories.
Partnership working in the context of safeguarding refers to the joint work made by professionals and agencies with different expertise and roles to improve their safeguarding capability.
" I had to help this girl," I exclaimed. As I spoke I heard this sound. " Do you hear that?" I questioned.
Cancer is soon to be the leading cause of death in the United States. It currently accounts for nearly one in four deaths, and it is estimated that 1.6 million new cases will develop in 2014 (Freimuth,Ramer,&Hinz, 2009). Today, there are many treatments for cancer but they need to be implemented early and aggressively to achieve a therapeutic outcome. Therefore, it only makes sense to adventure out in the hopes of finding a more effective cancer treatment. Marijuana is a controversial topic in the news today, with many people for the legalization of medicinal use. Marijuana(cannabis) contains various organic chemical compounds known as cannabinoids. In the past few years, research into the anti-tumorigenic effects of cannabinoids have yielded some breathtaking results. This recent research has shown cannabinoids have the ability to inhibit tumor cell growth, and even program the cancerous cells to destroy themselves. These studies have also demonstrated that cannabinoids can affect the way tumor cells metastasize, and invade other tissues (Freimuth,Ramer,&Hinz, 2009). The following review will outline the data related to the impact of cannabinoids on cancer cell viability as well as their effectiveness in cancer symptom relief, compared to the treatments currently being practiced. The findings discussed here hope to shed new light on the therapeutic and anti-tumorigenic uses of cannabinoids.
