Introduction
Gardenia is a genus of flowering plant of Rubiaceae family. Gardenia lucida Roxb., is one of the noted species of genus Gardenia. Gardenia lucida Roxb (Syn. Gardenia resinifera Roth) typically present in North-Eastern part of the India but also spread over other parts of world (Chaudhuri, 2007). The sticky resin discharge from the leaf buds of Gardenia lucida is in the form of yellow tears having an offensive smell and bitter taste (Suryanarayana et al., 2012). The resinous gum of Gardenia lucida is locally known as Dikamali gum.
Globally, Dikamali is used for ethanomedical purpose and folklore system of medicine for the treatment of a wide range of ailment viz dyspepsia, flatulence for cleaning foul ulcers and wounds, to keep off flies from wounds in veterinary practice. Current investigations have also revealed that Dikamali possesses a broad spectrum of biological activities such

lucida (1.0 kg) was extracted with methanol (4 21L) by percolation at room temperature (25±5o). The methanol extract was dried in vacuo to give a residue (675.0g). The residue was suspended in water and subsequently partitioned between hexane, chloroform and n-butanol. Chloroform extract (180 g) was chromatographed over silica gel column eluting with a gradient system of hexane: ethylacetate. Fractions (236-306), eluted with hexane: ethylacetate (90:10) were afforded Gardenin-B (500 mg). Fractions (374-430) and Fractions (439-500) eluted with hexane: ethylacetate (85:15) yielded Gardenin-A (450mg). 5-Desmethylnobiletin (350mg) respectivily. Fractions (526-535) was subjected to reverse phase preparative HPLC (RP-C18, MeOH: H2O with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid; 60:40, 3 mL/min) at 334 nm which yielded compound 4 Xanthomicrol (50 mg) (Retention time-12.5 minute). Fractions (577-582), eluted with hexane: ethylacetate (80:20) yielded Gardenin-D (150mg). Fractions (636-642), eluted with hexane: ethylacetate (80:20) afforded Gardenin-E
In July 1999, due to the poverty they were going through, Yanira, Max, and Alirio, made the hard decision of leaving all they had and their families, to seek a better life, and a better future for their families. They first had to come up with the money, to pay the person to get through Guatemala and Mexico illegally (El Coyote). On Monday the 5th, they took off on their journey, leaving El Salvador, in just a couple of hours. They spent 3 days in a hotel in Guatemala city, waiting to cross over to Mexico. This is when the suffering begins, Yanira relates how they walk through the mountains, through the darkness of the night.
Jane Landers’s thesis in “Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose” is that the free blacks were important to the Spanish colony while also being historically significant. As their lives shed light on questions extended debated by scholars, by sharing different slave experiences, resistance, and the nature of African American family structures, religion, and African American influences in the New World. The most compelling example that she used to support it was when she explained how black laborers helped establish St. Augustine. A black and mulatto militia was made in Mose as early as 1683, the initial successful Spanish settlement in
The movie “Bajo la Misma Luna,” in my own opinion, is a wonderful film representing all of the obstacles and sacrifices families have to go through to live in a free and safe environment. Some of the obstacles that these Mexican families encounter would include the hardships illegal immigrants face with la migra along with the reasons for Mexicans to immigrate and cross the border. Also jobs available for illegal immigrants are difficult to find as well. All of these things can be very dangerous especially being an illegal immigrant but it could take years to completely become an American citizen so the quickest way is to go illegally which splits families like Carlitos and his
The story Andale Prita, is a memoir by Mexican-American, Yasmín Ramírez from El Paso, Tx that wrote this book to grieve her late grandmother talking about her many life experiences. Throughout the story we can see how the book covers a lot of important and delicate subjects such as violence towards women. Yazmín’s grandmother who she would call “Ita” (short for abuelita, grandma in Spanish) suffered a lot during her lifetime, and violence was one of the many hardships she encountered. Ita was hurt physically by more than one man and more than twice in her life which shows how hard it was for her.
Karla, I actually believe that Gattos essay was more or less written as a form of an attempt as general persuasion, primarily directed to the general population but it could also be written to just about anyone who has been around or even possibly grown up in the American school system. While this essay was written after his career as a teacher it provides little insight into how he himself taught while he was in the same position. It seems that he is clearly frustrated with the American education system and while he may have made attempts to change it, he clearly displays his overall frustration on paper in this essay. While he never really comes out and states that school is important, I receive the impression that he does think that education is important, however it’s more as though he believes that the current lack of that initial spark for learning is severely lacking from the current education system. I, for one believe he is right however aside from his essay it doesn’t seem as though he has attempted to lobby very much support for this change.
The History and Science of Healing With Essential Oils Did you know that at least 30% of prescription drugs in the United States are based on naturally occurring compounds from plants? Each year, millions of dollars are spent searching for new, undiscovered, curative elements in the bark, roots, flowers, seeds and foliage of plants from every corner of the Earth. As the most powerful part of the plant, essential oils and plant extracts have been mankind 's first medicine. History has shown and science supports that these can be used medicinally to kill bacteria and viruses.
Akoyia Savado, I also tend to ramble on in my essays. I find it quite simple to move away from a topic and start on a new subject. This must mean that we are good at small talk. Time is difficult for you and I both.
Lucidity’s Folly In the fourteenth teaching, Krishna goes on to explain to Arjuna about “a knowledge” that, “knowing it, all the sages have reached perfection.” This is the knowledge of the three qualities of nature- lucidity, passion, and dark inertia- which inherently form when the world is created by Krishna. These three qualities bind the self to the mortal body; the ultimate goal of man is to understand and ascend above them in order to share in the infinite spirit. While lucidity may seem like a positive quality to achieve, a close reading reveals that Krishna warns Arjuna of the danger in falling to lucidity.
Oscillating between the progression of life through the memories and experience of an individual is expressed through Gwen Harwood’s poem The Violets. The poem encapsulates the human experience as both integral to the formation of our perceptions of life and the timelessness that it provides to the audience. Gwen Harwood is able to create a text that goes beyond the way we respond, creating a deeper awareness of the complexity of human attitudes and behaviours. The matrilineal theme reveals that the core of the poem The Violets stem through childhood memories as a component to reveal our own personal reconciliations.

The Contrasts of Louise Mallard and Calixta Louise Mallard and Calixta are both the protagonists in separate feminist short stories by author Kate Chopin, but they differ from each other in many ways. They are both women that are in relationships that want to obtain freedom, but they differ greatly in the matter of faithfulness, the amount of freedom they desire, loyalty, ambition and the consequences they suffer due to desire for freedom. The two characters contrast on their faithfulness to their husbands. Mrs. Mallard appears to be a faithful wife, even though she does not seem to fully love her husband.
“What the three ladies infer about Lily Daw” In the story “Lily Daw and the Three Ladies”, we are introduced to our three ladies who are: Mrs. Carson, Mrs. Watts and Aimee. These three ladies speak about a young girl who seems to have some sort of disability or as mentioned in the story was “feebleminded”, this young girl goes by name of Lily Daw. I assume that Lily has a disability not only because the three ladies are trying to send her to this mental institute for the “feebleminded” but because the author portrays Lily’s character with a very special tone of voice and her character is also not able to make-out correct full sentences like the rest of the characters in the story.
It seems that no matter the year, the way people grow and learn never really changes. In the story Marigolds, set during the 1930s, you follow 14-year-old "Lizabeth" as she grows and matures into a young adult. In The Whistle, by Anne Estevis, you follow Chatita as she learns a valuable lesson in owning up to mistakes and resolving issues. In addition, the poems Hanging Fire and Teenagers both give different perspectives to the same issue teenagers face, despite the fact that the authors had experienced their teenage years in the 1940s-1950s. In the story Marigolds by Eugenia Collier, you read a familiar story about a teenaged girl in an unfamiliar setting, an impoverished community during the Great Depression.
Before there were animals, now, also humans. Scientists have begun to experiment with humans as they do with animals. In the book Flowers for Algernon the main character is a mentally challenged man named Charlie Gordon. He is motivated and enthusiastic, so his teacher recommends him for an experimental operation destinated to improve intelligence. The operation was also done to Algernon, a laboratory mouse.
“She turned away her eyes to gaze far into the heaped-up ice that was all that now marked what had been a great flow of free and singing water.” (14) The mention of ice and water in the same instance occurs just once, fleetingly, in Gabrielle Roy’s “Windflower”. Yet, it serves to contrast the ways in which water and ice are depicted in the novel, along with how they vary according to the tone of the story. Roy utilises the settings around her main characters, Elsa, an Eskimo woman, and Jimmy, Elsa’s half-Eskimo, half-white son, in order to portray their dynamic characteristics.
