Episode 22

**WHEN YOU WHERE THERE**
Episode 22
(The cat and the bag)
   It's Mona's first day in her new fellowship. It's one of the largest fellowship on campus and Mona prefers it to avoid been noticed.
    Kester is an usher in the fellowship and when new comers are welcomed, ushers are to help them with their bags and Bible to the front seat.
    As part of the service, first timers where welcomed as Kester and other ushers move to welcome them, Kester took the black hand bag of a Lady who was covering herself with a veil. You are welcome, Kester said as he made to shake her, it was Mona!.

   Their heart both skipped as they stood, starring at each other for some seconds.

Mona!
Kester!
They both called each other the same time.

   Where have you been?
Mona asked as she tries to hold her emotions.

   Kester also tried to put on a smile as his hands were shaking.

   He welcomed Mona to the first timers seat and left without saying a word.

   The remaining part of the service was a mess for both of them.

  Why has Kester been avoiding me, ?

  It seems as though he has been doing it deliberately,

  Have he heard the rumor,?
  Does he think am pregnant?
  Does he now see me as a backslider?
 Mona asked herself.

On Kester's part, he had left the Church and was sitting by the car park around the Church premises.

What in the world is going on??
Mona?
God!
Why do I have to meet her today?
I feel so terrible!
And she look so different too!
Kester thought within himself.

    Mona couldn't wait for the service to end.
She have a lot of questions running through her mind.
.....why was Kester cold when he saw me?
Why did he refuse to keep in touch...

Kester prayed the service never ends because he wasn't prepared on meeting Mona.

Did she trace me down??
Have she discovered I was the one that raped her?
Why is she looking so fat?
Is she pregnant?
For who?
How?
When?
No way!
She can't be pregnant,!
Its been a while I saw her, maybe that's why she is looking so different.
Why is my heart beating so fast then??
 I feel so guilty! He said, rubbing his hands together.

The service had ended and Mona was expecting to see Kester, hoping he would be the one to attend to her, but Kester was no where to be found.
Mona became a little bit worried and restless.

   My world is falling apart! She said to herself.
  I have lost my relationship and walk with God.!
I have been leaving a pretentious life and lying, because I know am pregnant and can't tell anyone.
I have ran away from my fellowship members.
Don't even know my way back to the Lord.
Kester is my only consolation.
If I open up to Kester and tell him I was raped will he believe me?
Why does it seem as though Kester don't want to see me??
Mona's heart was beating uncontrollable.
God help me! She muttered.
.....To be continued.

De-starching the Leaves of a Plant

De-starching the Leaves of a Plant 'De-starch (or Destarch) the leaves of a potted plant' is one of the preliminary steps in a  photosynthesis experiment . Biology students often ask the following questions about de-starching. What is  the definition of de-starching? Why it is necessary to de-starch the leaves of a plant before conducting photosynthesis experiments? What happens to the starch stores when the potted plant is deprived of light or carbon dioxide? How to de-starch the leaves of a plant? What is the definition of de-starching? De-starching is the process by which the starch reserves in a plant are depleted by depriving the plant of either light or carbon dioxide.  Why is it necessary to de-starch the leaves of a plant before conducting photosynthesis experiments? We test for the presence  of starch  in leaves in order to determine that photosynthesis has occurred. Glucose -  the product of photosynthe

Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils

Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils The  Ethanol Emulsion Test  is a  food test  which determines the presence of a broad group of naturally occurring compounds known as  lipids . Lipids consist of  fats  and  oils . Other lipid tests include the  Grease Spot Test  and the  Sudan Stain Test . The Grease spot test is performed on fats - lipids which are solid at room temperature. Sudan stain colours lipids red, but is a less common bench reagent than ethanol. The Ethanol Emulsion Test is the most common test amongst the three. Procedure Solid sample  Crush  the food sample and place in a dry test tube. Add ethanol  to about 2 cm3 above the level of the sample and shake thoroughly. Allow the solid to  settle  (about 3 min) to allow the lipid to be extracted. Decant  the ethanol into another test tube. Add 2 cm3 of  deionized water  to the second test tube Make observations. Liquid sample Add a  few drops  of the liquid food sample to a dry te
