Donated blood extracts

Thee need for blood is great. On a daily average, there is 38 000 units of red blood cells needed. The needs vary great ranging from trauma victims, surgery assistance, transfusions and diseases such as leukemia.

There are many products withdrawn or manufactured from the blood, these include red blood cells, platelets, plasma, cryoprecipitated AHF, granulocytes, albumin, immune globulin etc.

How is donated blood used:

Red cells

After the donation Red cells can stay stored under refrigeration for a maximum of 42 days, or they can be frozen for up to 10 years. The main function of a red cell is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the cells and to remove waste products such as carbon dioxide.

Red cells help patients who need to be able to carry more oxygen, RBCs are also used to treat anemia (the most common form is iron deficiency, lack of red blood cells) which can be caused via numerous reasons, eg bad diet, abnormality in the intestines, large blood loss or even the slow down of the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Red blood cell transfusion also plays a vital role in replenishing the supply of blood during/post surgery and also in the casualty/emergency ward.

Platelets

Platelets are a segment of the blood that assists with the clotting process of wounds of all types, eg, laceration to the left gluteal muscle. They function by bonding together covering tears in the vessels preventing the leaking of blood into surrounding tissue, this is due to there properties, which is that they are literally microscopic plates. Platelets are donated to help people who are suffering from blood loss for any reasons, eg, shot by a soldier in war. Platelets are also incorporated in treatment of various cancers including leukaemia.

BASKETBALL

Basketball is probably difficult to play for most people. However, I think that what makes basketball difficult is the involvement of many skills that is needed to play. Many individuals are afraid to try the sport for they might make a fool of them selves. The way basketball is played needs a lot of finesse and sometimes heart, but it is not hard, it just needs practice to play. What is the most difficult part of basketball? Shooting the ball to the basket probably. How should players play basketball in general? They should practice, practice and more practice.

Children As Witnesses
…are easily influenced by outside sources. This paper will show the reasons children should not be used as witnesses in a courtroom. I will show all the different influences that a child receives and prove them uncredible. The interview process can influence a child greatly. Ceci and Bruck (1995) found a study that shows that child witnesses may be questioned up to12 times during the course of an investigation. The questioning process can take up to a year and a half to be completed. Children are not capable of remembering exact details for that period. Their answers to questions will change each time he or she is asked. This is because they do not retain information in the same way as an adult. Most studies have shown that children start to lose their ability to recall an event accurately only 10 days after the original event has happened. Another factor in a child’s ability to recall an event is stress. A child can go into a shock stage and repress all memories of what has happened to them. These memories may not resurface for many years. This affects a child’s ability to identify the suspect in photo and live line-ups. The amount of stress a child goes through affects their ability to answer questions in an interview, if they cannot remember what has happened, how are they supposed to answer the myriad of questions the interviewer will ask them. Many people think that children do not lie. It is not that they lie, they just cannot remember what happened a year or two ago when they were much younger, perhaps only a year or two old. The truth is children do lie. “One study shows that twenty three percent of abuse allegations are false and there was insufficient information to determine the truth in another twenty four percent” (Slicker W.D., 1999, Child testimony ¶ 16). Fear is also a factor in children lying or not providing adequate information. …

Deforestation

The more forests that are destroyed, the more harm that is brought upon every species in existence, including humanity.

The world’s last rain forests are vanishing. Despite a determined international campaign waged for years by an array of conservation and government organizations, the irresistible forces of population growth and rural poverty are consuming the lush tropics as never before.

Environmentalists predict that more than half of the Earth’s total species will be extinct by the middle of this century2. Global warming, holes in the ozone layer, rising water levels, erosion of top soil, degradation of air quality, and ultra violet rays from the sun are plaguing this planet like never before3. All of this is a direct result of global population increase and loss of the natural habitats and forests that prevent these catastrophes. Anti-deforestation activists struggle for the protection of animals? natural habitats and forests, arguing that their loss is irreparable and the Earth will become unable to sustain a sufficient balance

The Character of Romeo in Romeo and Juliet

Romeo is the type of person who loves everything except his enemies.

He shows his love and hate to everyone. Whenever he saw Juliet, he would

tell her how much that he loved her. If he saw another Capulet, he would

try and start a fight or just leave them.

Romeo’s actions reflect many things about him. When Romeo was sad

about Rosaline leaving him, he said, “Not having that which makes them

short” on page 484, line 152. Romeo meant that the days seemed longer

because his love does not love him anymore. When Romeo said “This shall

determine that” on page 534, line 118. Romeo was furious because Tybalt

killed Benvolio, and Romeo was going to fight Tybalt to death. Romeo

Romeo speaks like a well educated person because when he talks, he

uses very proper(for back then) speech. When he says things like “Lady, by

yonder blessed moon I swear that with silver all these fruit-tree tops-” on

page 511, line 110. When Romeo says things like this, it shows how well he

can put words together. When Romeo says “I have a night’s cloak to fide me

from their sight.” On page 510, line 80. He meant that he will hide from

everyone, just to see Juliet.

People say many good and bad things about Romeo. For instance on

page 500, line 67, when Capulet says “Verona brags of him.” When Lord

Capulet said that it shows that he is well respected by Verona and its

people. People say bad things about Romeo, when Tybalt says “It fits when

suck a villian is a guest, I’ll not endure him” on page 500, line 75.

Tybalt calls him a villian because he dis-likes Romeo and wants to kill him

because he came un-invited to the Capulets party.

Romeo does many things throughout the play that will make him look

bad, but he also does many good things. Romeo likes to show hid affection

to Juliet every time he sees her. Most people like Romeo, except the

Capulets.

Working With Drug Addicts
Originally published as “The Problem of Addiction” in Modern Drummer magazine, February 1991.

A

recent survey of more than 1100 personnel administrators concluded that drug and alcohol abuse are more likely to cost a person their job than incompetence. Drug abuse has affected every area of society; the music business is no exception.

Some believe that drug addiction is more pervasive in show business, while others counter that this perception exists only because of the high-profile nature of the industry. The fact that drug addiction crops up everywhere suggests that it is an illness particular to human nature, not a specific industry.

There is little solace in this however, when a musician you know becomes difficult to get along with, unreliable or untrustworthy, incapable of performing, or even violent due to their worsening drug or alcohol problem. It would be wonderful if we lived in a world free of drugs and drug addiction, but until that day arrives musicians may find themselves inadvertently working with others who have become victims of this very serious illness. What follows is some helpful perspective and advice for those who are struggling with this situation, or those who simply wish to know more about it.
DROPQUOTE There are a myriad of attitudes concerning drug addiction, and drug addicts. (From here on we will refer to persons addicted to drugs and/or alcohol as one group: drug addicts.) Unfortunately, there are still those who believe this condition to be the result of poor judgement, or perhaps a flawed character. The consensus among modern health care professionals, including the American Medical Association (AMA), is that drug addiction is a disease. Theories concerning its origins embody the classic “nature vs. nurture” arguments: Does one become an addict because of genetics, environment and upbringing, or a combination thereof? It may be safely concluded that the origins of drug addiction are many, and complex.

Cultivating an awareness of this issue begins with the realization that drug addicts are not necessarily bad people, but rather victims of their illness. Some people have what is known as an addictive personality – a predisposition to become dependent on a certain lifestyle, or substance. Examples are compulsive eaters or gamblers, those who accumulate excessive debt, and drug addicts, who become addicted to substances. For the drug addict, a simple “just say no” is insufficient. The nature of their illness is such that they have not naturally developed the kind of rational self-control that allows most people to remain free of addiction. Addicts become mired in their habit without realizing that a problem is developing, and they practice denial in order to maintain their increasingly fragile world.
[GRAPHIC] The drug addict will go to great lengths to deny that their use of drugs is the reason for a deteriorating situation. They tend to blame their problems on those around them, including friends, co-workers, and loved ones. Being in a band with such a person is very, very difficult if that person is hostile and blaming, when it’s obvious that the drug habit is the real problem. Most groups will tolerate this situation for a while, hoping the problem “solves itself” by merely disappearing, or that the addict will respond to suggestions, or even ultimatums that they “clean up their act.” Ultimatums may be temporarily effective, but unless the addict seeks true rehabilitation, problems will invariably recur. Sadly, many addicts lose their jobs and are left alone, denying responsibility, blaming the band member(s) responsible for his or her firing.

When a musician loses his or her job, it’s because the other band members have been forced to make a choice. A band is a unique environment: one third team, one third business, one third family. It’s very difficult to discharge a member of this “family” when the person is in such obvious trouble and pain. And yet, that person is most likely not contributing fully to the team effort, and may actually be severely damaging to the business effort. A band may have to cancel engagements, or whole tours if a crucial member is unable to perform, and the situation becomes more critical when the other members’ livelihoods, including the ability to feed a family, or pay rent or a mortgage are threatened. Every drug addict is an individual, and the demands of every band’s situation vary, but there are limits to the number of times band members are able to give the addict the benefit of the doubt, and to the number of broken promises a band is able to endure.

The past decade has seen increased awareness of and concern for drug addicts, and increased ability to effectively treat their illness. There are full-time self-help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), and its first cousin Narcotics Anonymous (NA) dedicated to providing drug addicts with help and support. There are many other public and private organizations with similar goals, including those oriented towards helping “concerned persons” – the family, friends, and co-workers of addicts. One of these groups is an excellent place for band members to go for help with bringing one of their own to rehabilitation. While AA and NA offer free support, private rehabilitation facilities can be very costly. The costs and types of rehabilitation programs vary however, and the addition of substance abuse to the list of illnesses recognized by the AMA has made treatment for drug addiction eligible for coverage under many health insurance policies.
[DROPQUOTE] In the health care industry, it’s believed that in order for rehabilitation to succeed, an addict must sincerely want to be helped. There is a natural tendency, in observing a person’s debilitating addiction, to try to help the addict with a heart-to-heart talk, to try to “bring them to their senses.” As well-intentioned as this may be, most addicts feel they don’t want help, instead believing they have no problem, or that those outside their situation don’t understand. It’s also possible for a talk of this nature to backfire, leaving the addict alienated and angry with his or her friends. It may be more helpful to have a recovering (rehabilitated) addict talk to the addict, someone who does understand, someone who has been there and made it back. If you don’t know such a person, a call to a local chapter of either AA or NA may prove helpful, as these groups are in touch with successfully rehabilitated addicts who are willing to help with these situations. Frequently however, merely talking to an addict won’t inspire any significant change, regardless of who’s doing the talking. In order for many addicts to abandon their denial, and want to renounce drugs, they must first hit bottom.

“Hitting bottom” is fairly self explanatory: the person’s life must reach a profound level of unhappiness, the previously unlimited reservoir of denial finally gone dry. A person may hit bottom due to a combination of undeniable circumstances, such as failing health, divorce, or arrest for drunken driving or drugs. The fact that these events are referred to as “sobering” is no coincidence. If an addict/musician you know does hit bottom, and asks for help getting straight, it behooves you to give that addict all the help and support you can. It may be difficult to completely forgive and forget all the transgressions that person may have committed as a result of his or her addiction, but remember: they were incapacitated by a very serious illness. Their previously irrational behavior was most likely irrelevant to their true personality, the one finally asking for, and deserving of your help.

Not every drug addict is completely incapacitated by their addiction. In fact, the greatest numbers of addicts in society today are called “functional” drug addicts. They can regulate when they ingest their substance(s) of choice, which enables them to function in an apparently normal fashion. The functional addict can hold a job, make payments on a car or house, even maintain a family life. Amazingly, it’s even possible for the addict to keep his or her addiction a secret from a spouse! If you are in a band with such a person, you will notice their regular abuse of the substance, their devotion to it, and a tendency to promote its usage. Functional alcoholics are capable of drinking large quantities without appearing drunk, because of their increased tolerance for alcohol. Ironically, the ability to drink large amounts is viewed by some as a sign of strength, while it is in fact a warning signal of alcoholism – a long-term degenerative illness.

Coexistence with the functional drug addict is somewhat more feasible than with the chronic addict, but there are definite dangers. While the functional drug addict is not completely out of control, he or she is still dependent on their drug, and that dependence is more likely to show itself at times of stress or pressure. In the music business, this can manifest itself at the worst possible times, such as when a group is given an important break, and pressure is at peak level. Remember that the addict’s behavior, even the functional addict, is not necessarily based on rational thought. Thus, any working relationship with even a functional addict involves some element of risk. Again, a matter of choice: How much risk is acceptable in order to continue to work with a functional drug addict?

An important part of an addict’s denial is the ability to excuse and rationalize his or her behavior. When a band is on the road, an addict will stubbornly maintain that “what I do on my own time is my business.” The rationale is that as long as they are not at the gig, they are free to do as they please. This is a flawed, dangerous argument. The road is a twenty-four hour/day work environment; the musician on the road is responsible to the band all of the time. Most top organizations subscribe to this policy, and will not tolerate any drugs at any time while on the road. The reasoning is obvious when one considers the illegal nature of many abused drugs, and that a musician’s offstage drug habits can very well affect what happens onstage. It is unlikely that a musician up all night the previous night “partying” will perform up to standards. No top organization can afford to have any member perform below par at any time.

The freelance musician works in a different context than the band player. Rather than being part of a full-time “family,” the freelance works with a variety of faces from gig to gig. The dynamics are quite different than those of a band. Band members depend on one another, and the consequences of any member being in trouble with drugs are deeply felt by all. But the independent musician may not consider an addict on the gig a threat to his or her own career. The freelance may view the addict’s dependency on drugs as “someone else’s problem,” and take comfort in knowing that he or she was not responsible for a bad performance. In a world where individual survival is difficult enough, such an attitude may suffice. More likely the freelance, like the band member, will feel the stress imposed upon the work environment by the drug addict. Attempting to make music with an intoxicated musician is a difficult, sometimes embarrassing experience. It brings a sense of disappointment – even though the freelance can look forward to a different lineup on the next gig, he or she will feel cheated out of the joy derived from playing music. The experience also leaves one feeling sad. The community of professional musicians is a tight-knit group, and one need not work in the family environment of a band in order to feel concern for a friend and fellow musician.

Thankfully, many millions of drug addicts have sought rehabilitation. Upon asking for help, an addict must learn to accept the knowledge that even if they give up drugs forever, they will still be addicted to them, forever. It becomes their goal to live life “one day at a time” by not doing any drugs that day, rather than dwelling on staying clean for their entire lifetime, which may seem an overwhelming task. This is a proven philosophy, and has helped millions of addicts enjoy healthy lifestyles and productive careers. The addict/musician who seeks help is faced with some special challenges, however. A large number of the opportunities to play occur in places where alcohol is not only served, but encouraged. The recovering addict will be regularly surrounded by people consuming alcohol, which can be very unnerving, especially in the first year of rehabilitation. Those helping the addict may recommend that they eliminate their exposure to drugs and alcohol entirely, which poses a very difficult situation for the musician who makes a living playing in nightclubs. There is no single solution to this dilemma; every addict is an individual. Some addicts must severely modify their lifestyle to stay clean, some are able to continue on the club circuit. If an addict must forgo the nightclub scene however, they need not completely retire from playing. There are opportunities to perform in a drug-and-alcohol-free environment, such as the recording studio, rehearsal band, orchestra pit, and of course, the concert stage.

Life on the road may conflict with the recovering addict’s attempt to maintain a sense of stability in their new life. One of the ways musician/addicts are able to maintain their sobriety while on the road is by seeking the help and support of other recovering addicts. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous hold free meetings on a regular basis at their thousands of local branches. The recovering addict can find strength and support at these meetings, enough to make it through the gig and on to the next town. This is a very viable option for the travelling musician.

It is important to note that it’s possible for the recovering addict to suffer a relapse, especially if that person was not truly ready to renounce drugs. A relapse is a very traumatic experience for all concerned persons, and can lead to feelings of hopelessness, and questions of the entire rehabilitation process. During this difficult time, try to remember that drug addiction is an illness, and like many other illnesses, relapse is an unfortunate fact of life. Of the millions of successful recovering addicts in our society, many have had to battle their addiction more than once. Never abandon hope for such a person.

The preceding paragraphs pose a number of very difficult questions about making choices and taking risks. There are no easy answers to these questions; they are left to the individual. Working in a band, or freelance situation with one or more drug addicts can be a frustrating, confusing, even heartbreaking experience. But regardless of how difficult a situation becomes, and how debilitating an addict’s illness grows to be, there is always hope. Anyone who has witnessed a drug addict’s hitting bottom, and subsequent rehabilitation, will also witness the elation and rejuvenation of that person. Recovering addicts have enormous energy, as well as renewed feelings of clearheadedness and self-worth. It is a great joy to regain a friendship that had been disabled since the person’s addiction took over, and to witness the return of artistic prowess that had been buried for so long. In an imperfect world, full of imperfect people, this is the one silver lining found within the cloud of drug addiction.

Tsunami Descriptive Essay

On December 26th, the tsunami hit the coast of Southeast Asia. The earthquake that caused the wave of the tsunami measures up to 9.0 on the Richter scale. In the morning, when all the people in the Southeast Asia slept, movements stated down below 10,000 feet in the epicenter. In the oceanic crust, the tectonic plates displaced and created shearing. Thus the commotion lead to a large volume of water being uplifted and turn to created into a wave that travels up to 300 miles per hour, gradually slowing when it reached the shore. However, the speed only inflicted more danger to the wave. At that time, people in the coastal areas were not aware of the terror that were bound to soon enclose them. They received no warnings of the tsunami. Unfortunately, 10 meters of the wave caught many people in surprise, as they looked dumfounded when the ocean engulfed them whole. Therefore, the tsunami created mass destruction, for it also left torn down buildings as well as disease for the people. Internationally, countries from all over the world donated supplies and brought aids to the victims in the countries that were affected by the tsunami. They gave many contributions in hope that the people would once again rebuild their home.

Among the agencies mentioned earlier is the project HOPE organization. Project hope in an organization, which has a mission to achieve advances in health care around the world in several of different ways. Such as implanting health education programs, conducting health policy research and providing humanitarian assistance in the areas of need. The HOPE stands for the term health opportunities for people everywhere. This organization is founded in 1958 when the world’s first peacetime ship lands. Since then, Project hope has been operating in the United States around 1958. Later national organizations in Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Switzerland, and United Kingdom were established in the mid 1990s. The project HOPE helps in infectious disease, women and children’s health, health professional education, health systems and facilities, humanitarian assistance. Project HOPE has dedicated for years to combat against two highly infectious diseases. They are HIV/AIDS and tuberculoses that are affected by aids. The people involved in the project hope organization strived to educate the people in Africa by means of protecting their families from HIV and helping those that were infected to maintain their health in Latin America. In addition, Project hope endeavors to eliminate TB. The strategy concerning eradiating TB focuses on proving technological assistance to the Ministry of Health, training, supplies, and support for the local providers and educating the public about TB.

In many developing countries, children as well as young women do not have any knowledge on how to seek medical care. Project HOPE was able to recognize this dilemma and together with the Ministry of Health opened up a clinical center in the San Domingo and Dominican Republic. Therefore, people could be treated medically even if they lack economic sources.

Project HOPE has trained over two million workers in about eighty countries to assist with the program. This program trains the doctors to familiarize with all areas of medical assistance to patients. It advances their knowledge so the visitors can have the best available treatment possible. For more than 45 years, this organization has improved regional health care through training medical providers as well as upgrading the health facilities. When a country suffers damage or is in need of medical care, project HOPE is responsible for the following. The first is vaccination support for immunization programs which provided vital shipments of vaccine, syringes, ancillary supplies. The second program is maternal and child health support that donated antibiotics, malaria drugs, anti-parasitic medicines, vaccines, and many other products. The last support is medical equipment, where project HOPE gave equipments to many clinics around the world.

After project HOPE received news of the tsunami, the organization began to distribute money for the disaster stuck surviving victims. The agency airlifts $1.5 million worth of medical supplies to reach the hardest hit communities and offer medical assistance. In addition, the agency provides emergency relief packages that contain surgical masks, bandages, antibiotics, and nutritional supplements. Humanitarian efforts will also be placed in Banda, Ache. It is among one of the hard-hit countries. Alone, this place lost around 90,000 people to the wave of the tsunami. The supplies will load on to two of the hospitals that have been destroyed. Project HOPE collected many donations as possible in order to save the people from death.

The tsunami wave washed parts of countries away leaving the inhabitants in total devastation. Though, the worst is yet to come. Reporters have found that people are now drinking from tainted water supply. It is originated from the fact that many resources or cargoes were unable to reach the people in time. The need for clean water is pressing. Health officials say that cases of diarrhea illness were reported across the areas of South Asia. The World Health Organization predicated that about five million survivors of the calamity are at the risk of getting infections from the disease. Volunteers to treat the people struggled to help people across the twelve nations. Although the cause for diarrhea illnesses has not been determined yet, reporters say that the most concerned illness is cholera and typhoid that can be infected easily with consumption of tainted food and water. Once infected, the individual can suffer form diarrhea, dehydration, and later death. Other illnesses such as respiratory malfunction including pneumonia are prone to occur among adolescents as well as seniors. In the mean time, medical relief agencies distributed some water purification tables that sanitize the seawater. Already, the World Health Organization is sending engineers to fix the sewage and contaminated wells. Others educated the people about need for proper hygiene. With assistance from the global staff, the people that survived will indeed live through this catastrophe.

Although the image of the tsunami will eternally linger in the intellect of the survivors, people from all over the world are struggling to help the people step-by-step walk away from the past. Helping those people to regain their power and rebuild their homeland. Aid agencies tries with great effort to ship supplies towards the countries in greatest needs. Ordinary people are donating money and resources to save the survivors. All have one thing in mind, providing the stricken countries with a better future.

The Beauty Of Rainbows
…Maybe you have or maybe you’ve even tried to find it. In this article
you will find out how rainbows are formed, the colors in a rainbow, and other
interesting facts about rainbows.
First of all a rainbow is a curve of colored light which is seen in the
sky. Rainbows can be seen in moonlight or in artificial light. They are caused
by the sun shining through tiny drops of water in the air. A rainbow’s
brightness depends on how large the drops are. The larger the drops are the
brighter the rainbow will be.
Many people think that a rainbow is only made of six colors, but it is
really make of seven. The colors in order are red, orange, yellow, green, blue,
indigo, and violet. A primary rainbow is a rainbow with red on the outside and
violet on the inside. The largest rainbow visible to observers on land is a
semicircle, but many times you can only see half of a semicircle. If you were
in a plane or helicopter you might be able to see a full circle rainbow.
You may or may not believe there is gold at the end of a rainbow, but
the beauty itself is worth a lot
. Hopefully this article has answered some of
your questions and got you interested in rainbows. For more informatmay
