TIPS FOR GIRLS
Most of us ladies learn about men, love, sex and relationship in the hard way, in which the price is too high and the consequences and lingering effects are very painful. There is an easier way of finding and experiencing TRUE LOVE. Wise females learn the easier way. Some of the tips is discussed below.
There are 'Honourable' and 'Dishonourable' males, and until we know the difference between the two types of males, we should not date or marry. Honourable males are protectors. They will guard your heart, protect your emotions, defend your honour and stand as champions for your spiritual, mental and physical well-being.
Any man who test-run your body, emotions, and feelings is out of it.Direct such men to a car dealer, bid them farewell and never look back! Females are not cars to be test-run.
Females should not go for any man who view sex as a sport, females as trophies and children as wastepaper. Never allow yourself to become their next score or sperm repository.
Also, don't go for Momma's boy; they belong only to one woman, their moms! These mothers and their sons will never cut their umbilical cord. For your sake, leave them alone to go to their mummies.
You are not fit for any relationship if you have no self-love. No two ways about it, if you don't love yourself, no man can ever love you...no matter how great the man is.
Don't judge all men by one man's action, unless you want to be judged based on the acts of immoral women.
If a man lacks proper male leadership in life, kindly send him on his way. He is not prepared for the responsibilities that comes with love, sex and marriage.
A fundamental understanding and respect of the male ego is a must for all females who want healthy and vibrant Love.
For your sake and safety, avoid misogynistic men. Avoid this treacherous males at all cost. Learn to properly choose a mate before its too late! The woman in the mirror will graciously thank you.
Don't delude yourself! You cannot change a man; Not your beauty, fine body, sexual prowess, cooking skills, feminity and vibrant personality is enough to change a man, NEVER!!!
Don't obtain this crucial information from dishonourable males, or bitter women. Don't become a spoiled, heart-broken and bitter woman!
For those who have travelled the worn out path of emotional scars, broken hearts, abuse, confusion, anger and sleepless nights, there is always a second chance. Learn from your mistakes, go to the Lord in prayer and He'll heal your wounds, then you pick up a new life.
Choose the wrong mate and you might as well have grabbed the ears of a raging mad pit bull.
CHOOSE AN HONOURABLE MAN AND YOU CHOOSE LIFE!
Thank you for taking your time to go through this, may the Lord help us to choose right. Your comments and suggestions are highly welcomed. Thanks once again and God bless.

IN MY SHOES...
Have you ever tried putting yourself in somebody else's shoes trying to imagine or feel what that person is going through? Maybe if we do this sometimes,we'd show love to people. It is a pathetic story for those with one ailment or the other because the society do not want to be associated with them. Looking at the case of people living with HIV/AIDS, it is not the HIV that kills them but the rejecton they suffer.
A pal of mine was narrating her odeal with a guy she met in a clinic to me. This pal of mine happens to be have Sickle cell anaemia and d guy sitting next to her at the clinic reception got to know about her medical status, and you won't believe the things he said to my pal.
The guy told my pal he know of a cure and that he can help with the necessary contacts. My pal turned the offer down. The guy then said she is not likely to find a life partner as nobody wants to marry someone whose life span is shaky and would be in and out of the hospital. That she is not likely to live long and all sort things that I can't possibly state here.
Parents at times don't help matter. Some see it as a waste of resources taking care of children with disabilities or trminal ailments, and so the child is neglected. Those who manage to take care of the child count what and what they have done at any little offence or thing the child does.
The long and short of this is to show LOVE and CARE to people around us. A smile could go a long way. You never can tell what a word of encouragement or inspiration could do. Lets give HOPE to the HOPEless and we'd see how well they can do in life.
And to those going through one thing or the other (ailment, disability or what have you), you can make it. Disability is not Inability. You are an Impossible Equation for the devil to Solve, a Question he cannot Answer because YOU are Wonderfully and Fearfully made!
I love you all and God bless you!

YOUR THOUGHT
That our friends made it before us does not mean we cannot make it.We should not compare ourselves with others;we are called for different purposes and there is an appointed time for each and everyone of us.If you can not get to your goals in life fast,you can get there slowly and steadily,taking one step at a time.Your friends may reach their goals before you and yet become more successful than them when you reach your goal much later.Afterall,the first house in a town is not necessarily the most beautiful house in that town.
Nurturing one's mind positively determines how life would respond to one's attitude.Never allow your circumstances to determine your attitude but allow your attitude to determine your circumstances.This can only be achieved if a person's state of mind functions in a positive perspective.
In life,we get what we focus on.That is why the book of Philippians 4:8 says "whatsoever things are true,honest,just,pure,lovely,of good report,if there be any virtue and praise,think on these things.
Your thought life builds you an identity.Proverbs 23:7,"As a man thinks in his heart,so he is.Rita Davenport said "What I think about,I bring about.The thought of success will foster success.The thought of love will foster love.The thought of security will foster security.What am I thinking about today?"I am asking us the same question;what are you thinking about right now?
Be of good thought and I tell you "YOU CAN!"God bless you.

BLOOD TRANSFUSION
Blood transfusion is the transfer of blood or blood products into the blood the blood stream of a patient who has lost blood due to injury,disease or an operation.The amount of blood and blood type of blood transfused depends on the need of the patient.It is the role of biomedical scientist to ensure that the blood being transfused is safe.To ensure safety,the blood is tested to determine its blood group and check that it is not contaminated with harmful micro-organisms.Checks are also made to ensure that the blood to be transfused does not contain antibodies that will destroy the erythrocytes of the recipient and cause death.
The type of blood a needed patient would be transfused with depends on the person's blood group.Blood group system is the classification of blood depending on the characteristics of their erythrocyte and the presence of specific antibodies in their plasma to erythrocyte antigenes.There are different human blood group systems like ABO,Rh,etc.The ABO blood group system classifies people into one of four major blood groups:A,B,O and AB, according to the different types of antigene present on the surfaces of their erythrocytes. The Rh blood group system didvides people into Rh+ or Rh-,depending on whether or not their erythrocytes carry the Rh antigen.The frequencies of these blood groups vary between different populations. AB,A,B and O are universal recipients because they can accept blood from any of the blood groups and O is a universal donor because it can be transfused into persons with other blood group.
The need for blood transfusion is determined by a test known as PCV(Packed Cell Volume).PCV is the measure of the proportion of blood that is made up of cells.The value is expressed in percentage or fraction of cells in 100 millitres of blood,e.g 40% means that there are 40millitres of cells in 100millilitres of blood.When the PCV falls to less than normal, it indicated anaemia. It is normally about 46% for men and 38% for women. It could be a bit lower for people with sickle cell anaemia.
CONSEQUENCIES OF BLOOD GROUP INCOMPATIBLE TRANSFUSION
An example of an incompatible blood transfusion is when a patient of blood group A,the recipient is given blood from a donor who is blood group B.In this case,the anti-B antibodies present in the plasma of the recipient bind to the donated erythrocytes and activate complement.This results in the simultaneous lysis of billions of erythrocytes in the given blood.The lysis of so many erythrocytes,called acute intravascular hemolysis,releases so much haemoglobin that acute renal failure occur and shock result.In addition to the problems caused by the release of haemoglobin, the fragments of erythrocytes memebrane released may also initiate the blood clottings, leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC).It may also vary according to the blood group involved. Slower destruction of the donated cells may lead to a decreasing haemoglobin concentration, with the patient suffering a fever and general malaise.
HAZARDS OF TRANSFUSION
- Iron overload: patients who receive many transfusions over long period of time may develop iron overload. The excess of iron,for which there is no excretory route, from transfused blood may cause tissue damage, especially to the heart, liver and endocrine glands. Signs of iron overload can be detected after several transfusions and the condition may be fatal if left untreated. It can be treated with chelating agent to remove unwanted iron.
- Alloimmunization: patients who receive regular erythrocyte transfusion may become immunized to other blood group antigens present in the ABO compatible cells.This may affect future transfuions.The use of leukodepleted blood, in which leukocytes have been removed prior to transfusion, prevents the immunization of recipient to these antigens.
- Infection: another potential hazard of transfusion is infection with micro-organisms present in the donor.It has been observed that blood transfusion have spread infections such as HIV and hepatitis C to recipients.For this reason, there is now extensive screening of blood donors.
Even with the the risks involved in blood transfusion, it has save lives, like in the case of anaemia and surgery. I remember my parent got into argument with hospital officials when I had to be transfused sometime ago and there was a delay...my parent wouldn't want to loose their priceless jewel.There was no other option at that point in time than transfusion, and thank God I'm still alive!
To conclude,transfusion scientist must make sure that the process of transfusing blood poses minimal risk to the patient and donor alike. Aside from obvious need for the blood to be carefully matched to avoid possibly fatal transfusion reaction, it is essential that donors are carefully screened to avoid those who are ill or who may be harmed by giving blood, or whose blood poses a health risk beacause, for example, it is contaminated with certain viruses even when the donor shows no sign of ill health.
May the unblemished "BLOOD " of Christ avail for us in all situations.
