Plasma Serum for Ebola - MIRIAM IBRAHAM

"Once again I bring this international criminal abuse of Miriam Ibraham too your attention that a Sudanese judge ruled. As you surely know, there is "death sentence" in her future for supposedly betraying her faith of Islam, and she faces 100 lashes, falsely being labeled an adulterous for marrying an American who is a Christian. They claim this is justice! They have allowed her baby to be born, "Maya" and her 2 year old toddler, Martin remains in captivity with her. I remind you that having an American citizen as a father automatically gives citizenship to both Maya and Martin. So let us have some action.
She will not renounce her faith in Christ: for this she is sentenced to death. So what we have here is a Sudanese government that we annually give billions of dollars to in foreign aid, and in return, our leaders thus far as I know "cower before" this socialist paradise on earth, ruthless leaders that we have helped keep in power with our foreign aid. Slave masters do not divide up the aid we give them, they use it to strengthen their totalitarian fist of tyranny. It is about time this idiocy is put to a stop." 
Russ Payne

Serum osmolality is measured to:

• Check the balance between the water and the chemicals dissolved in blood.
• Find out if severe dehydration or overhydration is present.
• Check to see if the hypothalamus is producing enough antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
• Find the cause of seizures or coma. In severe cases, an imbalance between water and electrolytes in the body can cause seizures or coma.
• Find out if a person has swallowed certain poisons, such as rubbing alcohol (isopropanol), wood alcohol (methanol), or antifreeze (ethylene glycol).

How To Prepare

Many medicines may change the results of this test. Be sure to tell your doctor about all the nonprescription and prescription medicines you take.

Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form.

How It Is Done

The health professional taking a sample of your blood will:

• Wrap an elastic band around your upper arm to stop the flow of blood. This makes the veins below the band larger so it is easier to put a needle into the vein.
• Clean the needle site with alcohol.
• Put the needle into the vein. More than one needle stick may be needed.
• Attach a tube to the needle to fill it with blood.
• Remove the band from your arm when enough blood is collected.
• Put a gauze pad or cotton ball over the needle site as the needle is removed.
• Put pressure on the site and then put on a bandage.

How It Feels

The blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm. An elastic band is wrapped around your upper arm. It may

feel tight. You may feel nothing at all from the needle, or you may feel a quick sting or pinch.feel tight. You may feel nothing at all from the needle, or you may feel a quick sting or pinch.

William Shakespere' Sonnet XIII

...O! that you were your self; but, love, you are
No longer yours, than you your self here live:
Against this coming end you should prepare,
And your sweet semblance to some other give:
So should that beauty which you hold in lease
Find no determination; then you were
Yourself again, after yourself's decease,
When your sweet issue your sweet form should bear.
Who lets so fair a house fall to decay,
Which husbandry in honour might uphold,
Against the stormy gusts of winter's day
And barren rage of death's eternal cold?
   O! none but unthrifts. Dear my love, you know,
   You had a father: let your son say so.

This sonnet returns to the theme of procreation as a defence against death and ruin. It is interesting also that it is the first in the sequence that contains an open and unequivocal declaration of love: but, love you are/ etc. in l.1; and especially Dear my love in l.13. Is there any significance, I wonder, in the main declaration being in the 13th line of the 13th sonnet? (See further commentary SonnetXIII )
The persistent undertone of time's advance bringing winter, decay and death, here continues. The boy is urged to shore up his house against this eventual fate. But what seems to emerge more than anything from this poem is the inevitability and sadness of this demise, contrasted with the love and beauty which stands up bravely to fight against it, and the tenderness of the poet's affection for the youth.

The 1609 Quarto Version

OThat you were your ſelfe,but loue you are
No longer yours,then you your ſelfe here liue,
Againft this cumming end you ſhould prepare,
And your ſweet ſemblance to ſome other giue.
So ſhould that beauty which you hold in leaſe
Find no determination,then you were
You ſelfe again after your ſelfes deceaſe,
When your ſweet iſſue your ſweet forme ſhould beare.
Who lets ſo faire a houſe fall to decay,
Which husbandry in honour might vphold,
Againſt the ſtormy guſts of winters day
And barren rage of deaths eternall cold?
   O none but vnthriſts,deare my loue you know,
   You had a Father,let your Son ſay ſo.

Commentary

1. O! that you were your self; but, love, you are

O! that you were yourself = I long for you to remain, as you are now, in your very essence, (self perhaps = soul), unchanged forever. In the light of what follows, it is a wish that seems to probe at the roots of identity - 'What is the self, if it cannot remain unchanged and secure even for a brief moment?' Prosaically it could be taken to mean 'I hope you feel better', but the succeeding lines suggest a more philosophic intent. but, love, you are etc. where the word love seems to be a vocative (my love), a direct address to the youth, rather than the more contorted 'but you are love incarnate, but no longer in possession of yourself' (no longer yours).

2. No longer yours, than you your self here live:

See above. No longer yours = your soul, self (you from the line above) is no longer a part of your body than the time of your life here. here = on this earth. You have no control of your time here on this earth. An early echo perhaps of Othello's despairing conclusion:
But O vain boast! Who can control his fate? Oth.V.2.267-8.

3. Against this coming end you should prepare,

Against = To guard against, in preparation for.
end = death. But doubtless also with a suggestion of the Day of Judgement, the final end of all things. Cf.
Is this the promised end?
Or image of that horror? KL V III 263-4.

4. And your sweet semblance to some other give:

semblance = likeness.
to some other give i.e. to a child. Also with a suggestion of giving oneself in marriage.

5. So should that beauty which you hold in lease

so should that beauty = the result would be that that beauty;
hold in lease - beauty is given by nature on leasehold, not freehold. (This is legal terminology) cf IV.3
Nature's bequest gives nothing, but doth lend, The gift of beauty is not an absolute gift, but conditional, and with a time limit on it.

6. Find no determination; then you were

determination = termination, end of lease. The legal terminology continues.
were = would be (a sort of subjunctive).

7. Yourself again, after yourself's decease,

Your essence would survive even after your death. Here the use of yourself twice(or your self) in which the second one of them is mortal, suggests that self cannot exclusively refer to soul, but that it can have a whole range of meanings, such as being, essence, person, body, soul, identity. The soul presumably would not decease.

8. When your sweet issue your sweet form should bear.

Your children would resemble you. For the (over) use of sweet (in l.4 above also) see GBE p.126. He refers it to the Petrarchan tradition, and suggests that there might be an element of parody. Compare for example from Sidney:
With so sweet voice, and by sweet Nature so
In sweetest strength, so sweetly skilled withal,
In all sweet stratagems sweet Art can show, A&S.36.

form could be used in the neo-Platonic sense of essence, being. Otherwise, 'shape, appearance'.

9. Who lets so fair a house fall to decay,

house = family, kin, lineage. Note that we still use such terms as 'the house of Windsor' referring to the royal family. The question is rhetorical, expecting the answer 'No one, of course, is so idiotic'.

10. Which husbandry in honour might uphold,

husbandry = estate management, with suggestions of a.) good management; b.) farming, c.) husband. Compare:
the tillage of thy husbandry. 6.
in honour = honourably; with honourable husbandry.

11. Against the stormy gusts of winter's day

A return to the winter scenes of Sonnets 5 and 6. The stormy winter threatens to destroy the house.

12. And barren rage of death's eternal cold?

barren rage - The epithet is the more striking because it seems to be slightly misplaced, (one expects the barreness of death's cold conquests to be highlighted, rather than the barrenness of rage). However rage can also be barren, as in Lear (All's cheerless dark and deadly) KL.V.3.290. In thought it links forward to the barren wastes produced by death, death's destructiveness being especially senseless and fruitless.

13. O! none but unthrifts. Dear my love, you know,

unthrifts = prodigals, wastrels, those who abandon all husbandry, those who are irrresponsible.
Dear my love - for the implications of this dramatically intimate phrase, see further commentary SonnetXIII . Punctuation can alter the reference point of you know back to none but unthrifts, or forwards to You had a father. Thus 'you know that only unthrifts do not look to the future' or 'you know you had a father (whose image you mirrored, as your children would mirror you)'. Both meanings are probably intended.

14. You had a father: let your son say so.

i.e., as urged in the previous sonnets, marry and have children. It is not known if this implies that the addressee had lost his father. Probably it does not. However it is likely that there is here an irreverent biblical reference to God the Father and the Son, especially as Father and Son are given capital letters in Q.
