*WHEN YOU WHERE THERE*
Episode 15
    Felix thought of Mona all through that night.

   Thank God I persevered. He thought.

   She's not as bad as I thought,

   She was just acting out because of what she might have been through,

   But what could that be?

    And who could that be that must have made her go through all she might have gone through??
Felix asked himself.

   What's her educational qualification??. Felix continued.

   And the baby golden,
    she have never mentioned anything about the father or her husband.

   Is she a widower?

   I can't ask her all these questions even though I want to,

    She might get hurt by my questions and I can't stand that,
Felix thought aloud, and covered himself to sleep.


   Mona on the other hand, is just minding her business, serving the Lord.

   The next weekend,
Kester got set to return back to his place of work.

   So you are leaving me eh,
Felix said

    Yes brother,
You know my kind of job na,

   Lives are precious, and the longer I stay, the more lives are lost,
Kester said.

   Do you work in the hospital or you work with the hospital.
Felix asked, looking surprise.

  Because the last time I check,
You are a law graduate o,
Felix said, making an expression with his hand.

   You won't understand
Kester said, laughing.

   A hospital is a firm that needs a lawyer,
Kester said,

  But it's a federal hospital, shey?
Felix questioned.

Yes but.....
Never mind brother,
Kester said, laughing.

   OK o,
And you will leave without telling me about your conversion eh?
Felix said

   Kester laughed and zipped up his bag.

   He sat beside Felix, with his hand on Felix's shoulder.

    Brother,
You are a very strong man and I love your spirit. Kester started

   Please don't mourn jumoke for so long,

   Whatever and whoever makes you happy, stick to it, irrespective of what people thinks.
Kester said and went on.

   You have spent all your life pleasing God and making people happy, but right now, after pleasing God, your happiness should be you next priority.

   Remember, you are my only brother,Kester said, holding Felix hand tight.

   I love you and I'll stand by you against all odds, Kester promised.

   Just quite pushing us away, Kester said as they both hugged tightly.

   Kester was ready to leave.

   Call me when and if you need my attention, Kester said,

   And my regards to aunty nurse, Kester teased and Felix laughed.

    You too,
It's high time you brought a woman home.
Felix pointed.

 No! No!!
Kester said, shaking his head.
I have a lot of wrongs to right, and until I've done that, no marriage plans.
Kester said , and entered his car.

   Felix stood, looking at Kester and expecting him to speak on,

  Bye!
Kester said and drove off.


    Soon, the month was coming to an end and mission field had summoned Felix.

  Brother Felix,
The eldest started.
I must commend your level of maturity, strength and  comportment,
The Lord strengthen you for the work.

     Amen!!
Felix and other elders responded.

   Are you now ready to go back to mission field??
Another asked.

Yes Sir,
Felix nodded.

   OK, though your staying there will be very brief.
The first elder said.

   Felix looked up, expecting more.

  We are preparing your documents,

   We are sending you to Ukraine for mission work.
Another responded.

   But am not aware,
Felix said looking surprise.

   Yes, the youngest said.
We were going to tell you shortly before the accident, he said.

   Oh,
So how long will I be in the village??
Felix asked, looking null.

  We are sending you there to just formally round up your assignment,
And we don't think that will take you so long.
The last said, looking at him.

 And also, it depends on the embassy,
The first noted.

   They prayed for Felix and gave him all he need for his journey.

    By the end of the month, Felix was prepared and Mona was already calling him to remind him of their deal, Felix can't wait to see Mona, for a reason he can't explain.

   Felix arrived and Mona had organised  a 1day meeting for Felix to meet all her converts.

   Felix was over whelmed and felt honored when Mona told him of her arrangement as she came to pick him up.

    You are an amazing personality and full of surprises,
Felix said to Mona with his eyes glued to her.

Mona laughed.

 They took cab and got to Felix's place.

   Where's my baby, asked, looking around.

     She's home with Patricia, Mona said.

   You are very beautiful,
Felix complimented unconsciously.

   Mona giggled and looked up and their eyes met.

.... 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
