Faith Yvonne Leech (31 March 1941 – 14 September 2013) was an Australian freestyle swimmer who won a gold medal in the 4×100–metre freestyle relay and bronze in the 100-metre freestyle at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne.
A tall and lean swimmer known for her elegant technique, Leech started swimming as a child to build strength after a series of stomach disorders in her infancy. She quickly rose to prominence after breaking a string of age group records. In 1955, she became the youngest swimmer to win an Australian title, claiming victory in the 110-yard freestyle at the age of 13. She twice broke the Australian record in the 100-yard freestyle in late 1955, thereby positioning herself as a leading contender for Olympic selection in 1956. Leech's preparation was hindered by illness, which forced her out of the 1956 Australian Championships, but she recovered to gain Olympic selection in both the 100-metre freestyle and the corresponding relay. Leech produced a late surge to take bronze in the individual event and seal an Australian trifecta, before swimming the second leg in the relay to help secure an Australian victory in world record time. Leech retired after the Olympics at the age of 15; she cited anxiety caused by racing as one of the main factors in her decision.
The second child of Johnstone Melmore and Jessie Francis Leech, Leech was born in Bendigo in Australia. She was given the name Faith after her elder sister, who died from leukaemia at the age of two. A delicate child, Leech had an aversion to eating in the first two years of her life, so her mother fed her in small hourly doses. Leech was twice rushed from the family home to a Melbourne hospital. Conventional medicine failed to rectify Leech's dietary issues, so her mother put her on a fast for ten days at the recommendation of a naturopath. Leech was later placed on a diet of fruit, salad and vegetables, with an emphasis on beetroot juice and carrot juice.
Leech's health improved, but she remained slight and frail, with a double curvature of the back. In an effort to help her gain muscle control and confidence, her parents sent her to start ballet dancing, before trying swimming, a sport her mother had competed in. Aged six, she was taken to swimming classes while the family holidayed in the Mornington Peninsula. Leech was coached by Gus Froelich, a former European swimming champion and coach of Australian Olympic medallist Judy-Joy Davies.
After a difficult start, Leech improved in her second year. At the Victorian Championships, she showed her potential by setting a state record of 17.4 seconds (s) for the 25-yard freestyle in the under-8 division. The following year, she covered 25 yards in 15.7 seconds, three seconds faster than Davies had done at the same age. She progressed steadily, sweeping the state age titles from nine to 13, setting records that were often faster than those by boys of the same age.
Living in Bendigo and studying at Camp Hill Primary School, Leech could only travel three times a year to train with Froelich, so she relied heavily on dry land simulations, such as a pulley attached to the kitchen door. When she was 12, she covered 110 yards in 1 minute (min) 7.1 seconds, setting an unofficial world record for her age group. This achievement prompted her parents to rent an apartment in Melbourne, so she could train with Froelich on a regular basis. Leech moved there with her mother, while her father stayed in Bendigo to look after the family's jewellery business.
From 1954, Leech attended St. Michael's Girls' Grammar School and trained with Froelich on a daily basis at the City Baths. The regular sessions paid off at the 1955 Victorian Championships; Leech won the open 110- and 220-yard freestyle in times of 1 minute 7.2 seconds and 2 minutes 39.3 seconds, respectively, setting state records in both events. She proceeded to the Australian Championships, winning the 110-yard freestyle in 1 minute 7.6 seconds to become the youngest ever winner of an open title at the age of 13. Leech also won the national junior 110- and 220-yard events.
Leech's regimen differed from most swimmers because Froelich was not an advocate of distance training, and designed shorter workouts for his students. She trained once a day, swimming no more than 3 km (1.9 mi). Froelich did not push her to continue swimming laps when she felt tired, but emphasised an efficient stroke mechanism, which Leech implemented with a long and graceful arm action. Leech stood 180 centimetres (5'11"), but weighed only 57 kg (126 lb), with broad shoulders, slim hips and large hands and feet. Her long streamlined action prompted observers to call her a "flying fish". Spinal problems caused by a back misalignment prevented her from using the optimal flip turn preferred by freestyle swimmers. Instead, she was forced to utilise the touch turn, which was slower.
In August 1955, Leech set an Australian record of 1 minute 5.0 seconds for the 110-yard freestyle, before lowering it to 1 minute 4.8 seconds in October; this prompted newspapers to trumpet her as a prospect for the Melbourne Olympics. She did not get an opportunity to defend her Australian title in 1956 because she was hospitalised with illness. Leech recovered in time to win the national age title in the 100-metre freestyle in a time of 1 minute 4.6 seconds, just 0.1 of a second outside Dawn Fraser's world record. She then posted a time of 1 minute 4.6 seconds to defeat Fraser and Lorraine Crapp at another meeting in the following month.
Leech was named in the Olympic squad and the Australian Swimming Union exempted her from travelling to the national training camp in Townsville so she could train with Froelich, who understood her special dietary requirements. She joined the squad for the final race trials in Melbourne in October before the Olympics. Fraser and Crapp were too strong in the 100-metre freestyle, with Leech finishing second and third in the two races. After combining with Fraser, Crapp and Margaret Gibson to break the world record for the 4×100-metre freestyle relay, Leech was selected as one of Australia's three entrants in the 100-metre freestyle events and one of six swimmers for the 4×100-metre freestyle relay squad for the Olympics.

Having arrived at the Olympics, Leech made her debut in the 100-metre freestyle, an event in which she, Fraser and Crapp were regarded as the three strongest competitors, although the latter two were considered to be substantially stronger. All three won their heats. Leech won her heat by 1.6 seconds in a time of 1 minute 4.9 seconds. She was third fastest qualifier behind Fraser and Crapp, who were over 1.5 seconds faster. Drawn in Fraser's semifinal, Leech finished second in a time of 1 minute 5.2 seconds, and was the third fastest qualifier for the final behind her compatriots. The semifinals followed a similar pattern to the heats, with Fraser and Crapp more than two seconds ahead of the six remaining qualifiers, who were separated by just 0.8 of a second.
This pattern was repeated in the final. Fraser and Crapp were far ahead of the field, finishing in 1 minute 2.0 seconds and 1 minute 2.3 seconds, respectively. Leech overtook the United States' Joan Rosazza in the final 25 metres to take bronze in 1 minute 5.1 seconds. The race for third place had been tight, with just 0.7 of a second separating Leech and the final finisher. The youngest swimmer in the field, Leech had come through to claim the last podium position. Leech said that it was an emotional occasion, having seen the Australian men take a trifecta in the corresponding event on the previous night of racing.
As the Australians boasted the three fastest swimmers in the individual 100-metre freestyle event, they were clear favourites for the corresponding relay, especially as Fraser and Crapp were three seconds faster than all of the other swimmers. Leech was not assured of a place in the final quartet. In the heats, Fraser and Crapp were rested and the remaining four swimmers, Sandra Morgan, Elizabeth Fraser, Gibson and Leech qualified the team. Leech swam the second leg in 1 minute 5.9 seconds, the second fastest of the Australians, thereby securing her position in the final along with Sandra Morgan, who recorded a time of 1 minute 5.4 seconds. Australia won the second heat by 3.1 seconds to qualify quickest for the final. They were 1.8 and 2.3 seconds faster than South Africa and the United States, respectively, both of whom swam in the first heat. The selection of Leech and Morgan generated controversy. They were Australia's youngest swimmers and lacked experience at open level competition: Morgan had false started twice at the Australian Championships, and both had competed at national level only once.
The winning quartet: Sandra Morgan, Dawn Fraser, Lorraine Crapp and Faith Leech.
In the final, Australia made a poor start; Dawn Fraser almost stopped when she heard a second gunshot, believing that a false start had occurred. She finished her leg in 1 minute 4.0 seconds, two seconds slower than the world record she set in the individual 100-metre final, but with a 2.3-second lead over the United States' Sylvia Ruuska. Nevertheless, this meant that Australia had a smaller than expected advantage. Swimming the second leg, Leech maintained the lead in the first 50 metres but faded in the second half and finished with a split of 1 minute 5.1 seconds, with the Australian lead cut to 0.9 of a second. Even with the advantage of a flying start, Leech's leg was 0.4 of a second slower than her fastest time during the individual competition.
Morgan was then overhauled and passed by Nancy Simons. With 25 metres left, Morgan took her head out of the water, and seeing the American a body length in front, dug deep to re-establish a lead of 0.7 of a second going into the final changeover. Crapp then extended the lead over the United States to 2.2 seconds to secure gold in a world record time of 4 minutes 17.1 seconds. The Melbourne Olympics was the only time that Australia has made a clean sweep of the 100-metre freestyle and the relay events for both men and women. This feat has only been equalled by the Americans at the 1920 Summer Olympics. The victory was Australia's only victory in a female swimming relay at the Olympics until the 2004 Summer Olympics.
After the 1956 Olympics, Leech retired from competitive swimming at the age of 15. She was the first person from Bendigo to win an Olympic medal and was feted upon returning to her hometown. She regarded the experience of living in the Olympic Village as an unusual one; in addition to the large crowds and the pressure of an Olympics, it was the first time that she had been away from the family home. Physicians endorsed her decision to retire, feeling that she became too nervous prior to races. Leech briefly worked in Melbourne as a model, before returning to Bendigo to help run the family jewellery business. She took a leading role in the business after the death of her father in the 1970s, before handing control of the firm to her son.
Leech married Mitch Tuohy and had two sons, Adam and Troy, whom she discouraged from entering competitive swimming, fearing the pressure and strain of racing. In retirement, she shunned competitive sport, but maintained her fitness and athleticism. She taught swimming to disabled children, some of whom represented Australia at the Special Olympics.
Leech continued her involvement with the Olympic movement through volunteer work. In July 1999, Leech and Australia's then-oldest man and World War I veteran Jack Lockett were the guests of honour at a countdown celebration to the arrival of the Olympic Torch in Bendigo in July 2000. In 2001, she was diagnosed with a tumour in her neck, which was the size of a 50c coin. The tumour was removed in a seven-hour operation followed by six weeks of radiotherapy treatment. This experience prompted her to become a volunteer for the Cancer Council and help those who were diagnosed with the disease. In February 2003, Leech phoned quadruple Olympic champion Betty Cuthbert to comfort her during her recovery from a brain hemorrhage. In October 2006, Leech combined with 1956 teammate John Devitt to launch "50 Years On—The Melbourne Olympics", a series of stamps from the Australia Post.
Leech is an inductee of the Path of Champions at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre. She died at her home on 14 September 2013, aged 72.

On November 17th, Ebenezer Horaling, age 35, was on his way to work as a custodian at a boys’ elementary school. When he got off the bus, a terrorist driving a van rammed into him, throwing him in the air and knocking him to the ground.
Ebenezer was brought to the Emergency Room at Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem in critical condition, with a fractured neck and head injury. The team in Hadassah’s Intensive Care Unit, led by Prof. Vernon Van-Heerden, fought hard for his life.
Ebenezer and his wife, Miriam, along with their extended family, made Aliyah to Israel in 2006 from North East India, as part of Bnei Menashe, a group of people who believe they are remnants of the ten lost tribes and are rediscovering their Judaism.
When Ebenezer and Miriam came to Israel, they were holding the hands of one toddler son. Now they have six children. The oldest, Magen Yisrael (Defender of Israel) will be a Bar Mitzvah shortly.
The good news is that his dad is out of danger, beginning therapy, and on the path to recovery, once again able to enjoy his family and his chosen homeland.

Cobble Impregnator (NS) is a low-VOC, water based, clear breathable sealer for protecting natural stone surfaces. Providing a natural look appearance with no sheen, Cobble Impregnator is ideal for providing protection without changing the surface’s appearance. The breathable formula allows it to be applied in situations where film-forming sealers would not work, including and on surfaces where moisture does not readily dissipate, such as stone installed over a concrete slab.
Each gallon of Cobble Impregnator (NS) will cover approximately 200 square feet per coat; the 5 gallon container of Cobble Impregnator (NS) will cover approximately 1,000 square feet. Coverage will depend on surface porosity, joint width and method of application. Natural Stone may require less material than other substrates.
Over Previously Sealed: Film-forming sealers will need to be stripped prior to application. Cobble Impregnator (NS) may be applied over non film-forming sealers provided the prior application is sufficiently worn away.
Not ready to commit? Need to do an adhesion test over an existing coating, or just want to see how this looks on your unique surface? Cobble Impregnator comes in a convenient pint sample size so you can try it out before placing a large order. Simply select the "pint" option from the product size dropdown.
Protect concrete, marble, pavers, stone, and porous tile against stain, water, and sun damage.
All grease, oil and any other potential contaminants and must be removed. Surface must be clean and dry before applying. Concrete should have cured a minimum of 28 days before sealing. Smooth concrete needs to be etched prior to sealing. Cobble Clean and Cobble Prep may be used for specific cleaning situations. Impregnating Sealer applied in one uniform coat should provide the best results and should be applied with a roller or sprayer. Remove excess or puddled product from the surface within 15 minutes of application or before the product dries. If necessary to recoat, do so while first coat is still wet.

What do you do when you have just graduated from art school and you have to set up your own studio, but you cannot afford any expensive equipment?
Works is the result of several studies the duo Berend Otto (1985) and Guus Kaandorp (1986) produced in their studio. Starting point: the wide range of equipment that they use as photographers.
Otto Kaan dreamed up new purposes and functions for their material, which led to surprising combinations and results. The result is a study into form, which at first might seem quite serious, but actually contains a lot of humour.
The work in Works is a manifesto for an alternative way of seeing. It allows us to look at the medium of photography in a new and different way, but also raises questions about ourselves. Not taking itself too seriously, it nevertheless puts things in perspective.
The book Steigers accompanies the exhibitions which is published by Centerfold Editions and designed by Xavier Fernández Fuentes.
In the series Photographic furniture we see Otto Kaan's own designs and made-to-size pieces of furniture made for and consisting of photographic equipment. Otto Kaan had the designs produced to professional standards and recorded them afterwards; the photographic image is the only proof of their functionality.
In the double slide projection Scaffoldings the duo show the results of their architectural experiments, which they constructed in their studio to monumental size and measuring up to six meters high. After recording it, they recycled the material into a new and complex construction.
Flower make-up is a series about counterweights for tripods, in this case bags of garden pebbles. Using a simple trick, the function changed from purely practical to a new and aesthetic one.
Reflection screen tests the viewers’ way of seeing and conjures up a sense of alienation, just like the other series.
Guus Kaandorp graduated from Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in Den Haag and Berend Otto graduated from Rietveld in 2013.

Right after high school, I spent one year in Georgia, USA. I was enrolled at Oxford College of Emory University [wiki:Oxford@Emory]. Looking back at my year, I can see how I grew, but I also realise how much I had yet to grow compared to where I am now.
I had a great time and I met a lot of people, but in a way I feel that I was too young to get the full experience. I do think, however, that I left a piece of my heart in Georgia, and whenever I hear it mentioned I think of all the wonderfully loving people I met!

Simple, “straight” cuts are best in most cases. Simple fades, where one image fades out as another fades in on top of it, are also a good choice. While fancy transitions are available on many video editing programs, page-turn effects, fancy wipes, and other complex cuts are distracting and make your video look less professional, not more.
Still photos of people mixed in with moving video shots can sometimes seem dead and lifeless. If your video program is capable of it, add a “Ken Burns effect” or "ease in/out" effect to the photo to make it more interesting and let you keep the photo on the screen longer without seeming boring. Both Movie Creator and iMovie have this capability. These effects are best when the movement is slow and either zooms in to or out from the most important part of the photo.
Generally, photos should be on screen no longer than 4-7 seconds each. Video clips can go longer, but anything over 10-12 seconds is probably a little too long. There are certainly exceptions to this guideline; it depends on the amount of movement you have to make and what the narration and music are doing.
Be sure to label everyone who speaks in your video apart from the narrator. The first clip of an interview should include a "lower-third" title telling their name and their title or relationship to the organization being featured in the video.
Finally, be sure you save your video project often! Video programs process a lot of information at the same time, putting a strain on your computer's resources and increasing the chances of your computer freezing up or experiencing an error. Don't lose all your hard work! Save often!

It has been said if you listen closely, you can hear money talking louder than any other person in the room. For centuries, those with greater access to capital have had the privilege of sitting in the driver’s seat, while others living with less means have kowtowed to the demands of the affluent. In the year 740 B.C., long before you or I walked the Earth in search of avocado toast and AirPods, the Tang Dynasty in China introduced the first pieces of paper currency.
After they invited block printing (think stamps), the government started to print money because metal coins were far too heavy to carry compared to the featherweight nature of paper. Prior to the Tang Dynasty getting that paper, dozens of ancient civilizations used bartering systems to trade for what they needed. Ultimately, someone decided that coins and paper money held greater intrinsic value than shiny rocks or three seashells.
In the thousands of years following the introduction of paper currency, we’ve seen a tidal shift in not only what money looks like, but how it is spent. According to an April 2017 survey, 40% of internet users in developed countries stated that they purchase items online at least “several times per month.” As we’ve seen with the rise of e-commerce sites like Amazon.com and other online shopping platforms, consumers are losing interest in buying products at brick-and-mortar locations.
Ironically enough, 70% of Americans still say they use paper money on a weekly basis, but several financial analysts believe the global economy is headed in a cashless direction.
According to reports, Sweden, a nation lauded for being both technologically advanced and full of delicious meatballs, is expected to go completely cashless by March 2023, at which point cash will not be accepted any longer as a form of payment. Back in 2012, the six largest banks in Sweden collaborated to develop a mobile payment platform called Swish, which is now used by millions of Swedes every day.
TechCrunch recently published a piece discussing how the Chinese government plans to implement the “Village Revitalization Strategic Plan,” which is designed to improve the efficiency and level of financial services for rural communities across the nation.
The goal, according to the set of guidelines jointly published by China’s central bank, the Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the Securities Regulatory Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Affairs, is to “make mobile payments ubiquitous in rural China by the end of 2020.
If we examine America’s potential to shift towards a cashless society, which could catalyze a global movement, the odds of this taking place are fairly likely. According to a 2017 survey conducted by CNBC, 50% of respondents said they carry cash with them less than half of the time when they are out, and if they do, 76% said they keep less than $50 on hand.
This trend has driven consumers to shift towards the use of debit cards. However, younger generations under the age of 18 cannot have their own checking account, so this has left a significant portion of the American population at an economic disadvantage.
Luckily, a new mobile banking startup called Step wants to assist the next generation in understanding the value of a cashless dollar. The Company, founded by CJ MacDonald and Alexey Kalinichenko, former execs from the mobile gift card platform Gyft, started Step to help the nearly 75 million children and young adults under the age of 21 in the U.S., who are burdened by having to use cash for all their purchases.

India is a land of diverse culture and beautiful landforms. It has always been considered as one of the most favored tourist destinations across the globe. People from different parts of the world come here to explore this exhilarating and beautiful country. India is well-known for its graceful monuments and structures. Built over by different rulers of India years back, there are hundreds of historical monuments present in different parts of the country. Among different historical monuments, Chittorgarh Fort is popularly known for its own beauty.
Chittorgarh Fort is located in the state of Rajasthan and is being considered as one of the largest forts in Asia. It is approximately 500 feet high and the total area covered by it is around is 700 acres. It was the capital of the Mewar which was previously ruled by the Guhilot, later by Sisodias and the Suryavanshi clan of Chattri Rajputs.
It is the modern structure in Chittor which was constructed in the early 20th century and was the home for the Maharana Fateh Singh, the ruler of Chittor who passed away in 1930.
This beautiful complex was constructed in the year 1450 for the prince of Chittor. Interestingly, it is made up in the Rajputana style and is designed in S arches. Since, it’s been the palace of the prince it had been exclusively constructed with the attractive blue tiles.
This royal palace is basically constructed as white building and is three storeyed. The complex that you will see today is actually the renovated form of the original one. The palace of the Rani Padmini is hemmed in with water. There is also a magnificent and attractive crown on its top. Near by the palace there is the Bhimlat kund, an artificial pond which has been made in the name of the toughest of the Pandava brother, Bhima.
These are two buildings in the palace of Chittor Fort. Relatively to other palaces in Rajasthan, it doesn’t possess any architectural significance. If you move towards the south direction of the palace, there you will find the Chonda house which was constructed in the 15th century.
A prehistoric Tulja Bhawani temple is located at the western side of the fort and is devoted to the goddess Tulja. There is a courtyard, that is, tope khana which is situated next to this temple.
It is a small fortress which was built by the Rana Kumbha and was the capital reserve of Chittor.
This temple was built by the Rana Kumbha in the honor of the saint poetess, the devotee of the Lord Krishna, Mira Bai. It is one of the oldest memorials of Chittor. Adjacent to the temple there are two kunds or artificial lake which measures around 125 feet in length, 50 feet diagonally and 50 feet deep.
It was built in 8th century in the honor of the Surya, the Sun God. Allauddin Khilji has previously demolished the temple; however it was again reconstructed as the Kali temple in 14th century. In this temple, there are five chambers which exclude the original roof.
This tower had been termed as the Tower of Fame. It was built in the honor of the Adinath, the first Jain Saint. It is approximately 75 feet high and 39 feet wide at the base.Hence, if you get time to visit Chittorgarh Fort, then don’t miss the chance to explore this historical monument and see through the great history of the state.

Alexander Ovechkin has been a major part of the nation’s capital for the last decade.
With 546 goals scored in generally electric style, Ovechkin has lit up the NHL and has become synonymous with the city of Washington.
But the 31-year-old has deep ties with his homeland of Russia. Born in Moscow, Ovechkin is passionate about his country, evident in his frequent returns in the offseason and stellar play for Russia at the international hockey stage.
Ovechkin also has strong ties with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Ovechkin and Putin have been frequently photographed together, most famously while celebrating a World Championship. One shot features a helpful Ovechkin letting Putin drink from the trophy.
Ovechkin once posted a photo on his Instagram account of himself holding a sign that said “#Save Children From Fascism.” The photo was posted near the early stages of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and, taken at face value, implied that that Ovechkin was offering support to the Ukrainian rebels supported by Putin.
Ovechkin later clarified that the sign was meant to indicate his opposition to all war.
With President-elect Donald Trump taking over the Oval Office on Friday, the state of Russian-American relations is again dominating the news — and Ovechkin’s perspective on the friction between the two countries is in demand.
Asked by CNN what it’s like to live in Washington as a recognizable Russian, Ovechkin sounded like a man trying to straddle, as best he can, two distinct camps.
Ovechkin also talked about his years-long pursuit of the Stanley Cup.

The chemical industry is a central part of modern business and manufacturing. It produces a massive range of different substances that are used in almost all fields, from commercial sales to medicine. Chemical companies use raw materials such as oil, water, metals, and natural gases to produce thousands of different chemicals that are used all across the globe. Rubber and plastic make up a huge part of the chemical industry, which actually consumes a significant part of its own output.
There are many different processes and technologies involved in the chemical industry, as companies must take many steps to convert raw materials into usable chemicals. They often must process and refine the raw materials to get them into a pure form. Great precision is needed; if even a small amount of the material is not entirely pure, the final product could be ruined. Measurement, then, is an extraordinarily important aspect of the industry. Finally, different substances and materials are usually put through chemical reactions that yield the desired end results.
Chemicals produced by the chemical industry are placed into several different categories. Basic chemicals include chemicals and chemical products produced in great quantities and used frequently. Plastic is one example of a basic chemical; plastic products are produced around the world in very significant quantities and are used in everything from packaging to toys. Petrochemicals, which are derived from petroleum and other hydrocarbons, and fertilizers, which are used in massive quantities by the agricultural industry, are also included in the category of basic chemicals.
Specialty chemicals, often called fine chemicals, are produced by the chemical industry in smaller quantities and tend to cost far more money. They include special adhesives, electronic chemicals, industrial gases, sealants, and coatings. Life sciences make up another category of chemicals. This category includes biological products used in health industries and in crop protection. Life science chemicals tend to be quite expensive. Consumer chemicals are those chemicals produced by the chemical industry that are sold directly to consumers. These include such things as soap, detergents, and cosmetic products. The chemical industry is massive, producing at least hundreds of millions of tons of chemicals each year. It is a vital part of the modern economy, and has wide-ranging effects in a variety of other industries. Automotive, pharmaceutical, consumer manufacturing, and cosmetics companies all rely heavily on the chemical products that are produced around the clock by chemical companies around the world.

If warnings are turned on globally via 'perl -w', uninitialized value warnings start to appear from XML::Twig::first_elt and XML::Twig::Elt::first_descendant when an XPATH-like search is made for an element that isn't found. Examples: $element = $twig->first_elt("*[\@id='$id']"); $element = $twigroot->first_descendant("*[\@id='$id']"); If no element has an id matching $id, a warning along the lines of: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at (eval 39) line 1. is emitted. When this happens inside a loop (because, for instance, you are searching for the first element containing one out of a list of IDs), the resulting spew can cause automated smoke test reports to truncate and become useless.

On a visit to a clinic in rural India, Carolyn Yarina saw a need for a device that can separate blood into plasma and white and red cells — without electricity to power a centrifuge.
In a West African hospital, her business partner Gillian Henker watched as doctors used what was essentially a cup to collect and reuse blood from internal bleeding after running out of expensive bags of donor blood.
The ideas prompted the women, along with colleague Katie Kirsch, to found Sisu Global Health. Starting with a device known as Hemafuse, which can better help doctors recycle patients' blood, they plan to build a pipeline of medical devices that might be rudimentary compared to others being developed in the United States but could save millions of lives in other parts of the world.
The concept and the opportunity it presents is drawing attention to Sisu — including the $100,000 investment from AOL co-founder Steve Case the company won in his "Rise of the Rest" live pitch competition Monday. That money will go toward a $700,000 round of investment Sisu is raising to pay for studies needed to put Hemafuse on the market in Ghana.

It is no bewilderment that I gone to mix things going on approximately here. One business however that I never misrepresented out, one that took me for ever and a day to tug the activate on, was our relations room media console. The home center qatar sofas misrepresented that however; and is our absolute sideboard. A astonishing modern, coastal choose for our space. It was hence worth the wait.
I searched and searched for months and could not find the just right replacement. They were every too dark, too bulky, too traditional, too modern and next I finally found what I thought was the absolute fit. unfortunately gone in the room I realized the wood make public was too golden for the tell compared to the supplementary woods in the room. Thankfully I realized that this sideboard looked incredible in the dining room, correspondingly it was not a loss but did send me support upon the hunt for our absolute media console.
Then I found The home center qatar sofas and it was love at first sight. I was in view of that trembling after ordering that I would end happening having the similar wood sky dilemma later this piece as the last, but no question optimistic this one would work and perform it did!! I a propos cried afterward I axiom how absolute it was for our needs. Finding the just right weathered coastal fragment that yet complimented our militant and minimal aesthetic had proven neighboring to impossible. The home center qatar sofas came into my activity and distorted that. Im in love.
This fragment can of course function as a sideboard in your dining room we just opted to utilize as a media console instead. For us it works correspondingly competently as a media console is because of the rattan doors. The rattan is thick and substantial ample to hide the components from view. still nevertheless possesses enough gapping amongst the weave that you can keep the doors closed and perform every the tech following a remote. WIN. Especially for us taking into account little impatient kiddo hands roaming as regards the house.
Overall this is just a great fragment that could sentient harmoniously among many designs styles. From modern, to coastal, eclectic, or minimal even in a more time-honored home. It has therefore many elements that lend itself to as a result many styles. The clean lines, the texture of the rattan, the weathered finish beside to the sleek black legs. Its just a astonishing fragment that we cherish and are thrilled to have in our space.

This post was originally sent as a newsletter to subscribers, so you’ll see links to my Lunar Journaling E-Course. You can check that out here.
* How you experience planetary transits. What happens when the Moon moves through your natal Moon sign? What happens in your life when the Moon moves through your natal Sun sign?
The lunar cycle is also mirrored in the other planets’ relationships to the Sun. Every month, there is the New Moon and Full Moon, as well as the two quarter Moon points. Similarly, the classical planets also undergo a corresponding cycle of experience.
A recent example is Jupiter’s most recent angular relationships with the Sun. Most recently, while the Sun was in Pisces, it created Jupiter’s “first quarter” aspect. Notably, while this was happening, Mercury was also retrograde, in the heart of the Sun. So, the first quarter aspect featured a very pronounced *articulation* of Jupiter’s first quarter moment.
So what was that first quarter moment about? For guidance, we can consider what the first quarter of the lunar cycle is about.
The first quarter of every lunar cycle, which happens every month, is about noticeable development. Some situation visibly, tangibly moves forward, or develops in some way. There is not typically any question or doubt about it. The first quarter, related to the 90 degree square aspect, is an active development point.
Consider, in the past two or three weeks, was there a noticeable push toward growth, expansive movement, or greater understanding in your life? Even amidst the Pisces emotional saturation (some of us may call it being waterlogged….)?
If so, what was that push? What was that development? How did that show up for you? What did it MEAN for you? How did you participate in effecting it?
Now let’s take into account that Mercury was retrograde at the moment and almost to the precise degree of that first quarter square for Jupiter. We are now far enough away from that moment to get a good sense of perspective. And Mercury has stationed direct. So we are in a good place for review.
Even though there may have been a noticeable development toward growth, expansion, or understanding, do you now or did you then (not legally interrogating you I promise), realize that there was something about it that was unknowable at the time… but now you can fill in the missing details. Is there now information available that was not available then? Was there perhaps an overshooting or an overconfidence related to that developmental push, that you can now make an adjustment on, as new information rolls in?
Doing that exercise and review for Jupiter’s cycle has its roots in the movements and meaning of lunar cycle.
And there is so much more in astrology that dedicated tracking and deep understanding of the lunar cycle will give you the strong foundation for understanding.
If this speaks to you, and if you want to go this journey of lunar attunement and understanding, take advantage of the pre-order price of the Lunar Journaling E-Course, which ends today at 11:59pm ET.

By Barry Hussein, HOUSTON – Nobel prize-winning man Al Gore met with concerned celebrities this morning at Denny’s to discuss the nation’s largest decline of headroom since the 1930’s.
Celebrities, Gore says need headroom more than most because their heads are proven to be more inflated than nobodies, or typical consumers.
“We have to act now,” Gore said.

In the past few months I’ve been asked repeatedly to comment further on my prediction that barrow and gilt slaughter weights will increase to 290 pounds live weight by the year 2022. This prediction is based on a review of USDA federally inspected barrow and gilt carcass weight increases. In the 24 year period from 1988 through 2011, carcass weight has increased an average of 1.4 lb/year. The corresponding correlation coefficient for this rate of increase is 0.98, meaning there has been very little variation year to year in this annual increase.
When you carry out the trend line for the next 10 years and use a 75% carcass yield on the result, you come up with a 290 lb average live weight for the year 2022.
Based on Iowa-Southern Minnesota live weights, we were on pace at the beginning of this year to increase slaughter weights faster than the trend line. I know many systems selling to Tyson, Cargill and Triumph plants had target sale weights of 300 lb or heavier. As the drought impact became a factor in feed prices, these target weights have come down and this has been reflected in slaughter weights (and numbers) this fall. However, in the past few weeks the trend has returned – weights are going back up as producers get a better picture of feed supplies and ingredient prices. In addition, the optimism reflected in the futures prices for next summer (and months leading to next summer) has producers once again rethinking their strategies for optimal market weights.
The pork industry isn’t alone in the drive to increased slaughter weights. Readers of the Daily Livestock Report written by Steve Meyer and Len Steiner on Wednesday of this week were treated to an excellent discussion of this impact in the broiler industry. Since 1990, industry average ready to cook broiler weights have climbed from 3.2 pounds to 4.47 pounds per bird in October of this year. This is a remarkable 40% increase in average weight in a 22 year period.
The same trends are evident in the beef slaughter data. The impact of this trend is an overall improvement in production efficiency across all of our animal protein species.
As we sell at heavier weights, we need need fewer animals in the breeding herd per pound of animal protein available to consumers. This means items like genetic costs, and pasture costs for the beef industry are spread over more pounds. In the slaughter plant, the weights translate into more pounds of protein per employee.
All of this translates into a lower relative cost of animal protein for the human diet. I look for this trend to continue across all livestock species as we in agriculture feed a growing world population.

The new requirements that began Jan 1, 2011 call for registering with the state. To register you must complete a Pharmacy Tech course. So far all I have found are in the $13K to $15K the is thousand dollar range for the courses. It seems an awful amount of money for a job that doesn't pay much more than McDonald's to start with. Even after experience $17 seems to be the maximun I have seen.
I would love to know about any other schools with a better price. I can't afford to go at this point.

An Interactive Installation at the Art For Arachnoiditis Project Survivors' Exhibit Opening Reception. April 18 at The Fountain Arts Center. By invitation, portions of this FIRST Exhibit are now traveling around Upstate New York as part of the Artist Among Us Touring Art Program hosted by the Fountain Arts Center.
To Include Survivors from Near and Far, Names of ALL registered Arachnoiditis Survivors, including those registered for the Map of the Survivors, were inserted into prescription bottles and suspended throughout the exhibit at assorted heights to simultaneously illustrate the limitations placed upon us by the medical injury, the freedom/impairment dichotomy that comes with prescription medication for pain management, and OUR DETERMINATION TO COME TOGETHER ANYWAY.
Support The Art For Arachnoiditis Project.
Arachnoiditis is a spinal cord injury caused by the neurotoxins in spinal injections and invasive spinal procedures. Find out more about Arachnoiditis at ArtForArachnoiditis.org.

Matt01 and GertNL like this.
Terry ... thanks for resurrecting Marek's video ... a great dedication to Don.
That was a sad day. I still think about him now and them.
I think about him too. We drive over a bridge with a very similar name as his whenever we go to our caravan. Always brings just a pang!!!
Certainly a larger than life character. Gone but not forgotten.
You can tell the site has changed since Don's passing. This post has been on a week and only 56 views. That is sad in itself.
Yeah Peter but a lot has changed. The site lost a lot of momentum when the format changed and then when CC Was sold. I still cross promote this site with the 2 fb pages (Friends from Cruiser Customizing and CC Guys).

The guy with the AK is a future or present democrat voter....Obama panders to these illegals to get their votes..
This is an Ak-47 folks...that's drug cartel stuff. Whole different ball game.
Wow. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at this take.
What part of International Border that should be protected by the US government makes this a different ball game?
So tomorrow we'll see the brothers, sisters, cousins, mothers and fathers of the perp in the streets protesting their collective over extended stay in the U.S.
I wonder if they'll be checked for ID and how many will be carry firearms... just in case.
That would only be true if they were conservatives. But because they are constantly stereotyping police as racist, redneck hicks with loose trigger fingers, they absolutely bear no responsibility for this. If anything, the illegals were defending themselves against blatant racist rhetoric by the obviously racist cop.
OKAY... here we go with the victim card.
I didn't ask a question.
Makes no difference if it was drug cartel or day laborers. They are all here illegally and need to go back where they came from.
Of course not. Don't you know now it is racist to stop someone for a traffic violation, especially if they have brown or black skin...and if you get shot for doing your job, well, you got what you deserved. The Leftist, illegal-coddling mentality never ceases to amaze.

The property was fantastic with lots of space for everyone.
Our family enjoyed the cottage and with it being so close to Baddeck it was ideal. We would definitely stay there again.
We loved this cottage in Baddeck! Tons of room for the 8 of us and so well equipped right down to the great games selection. Rustic in the most beautiful sense. Lovely location on the lake. Jan was wonderful to deal with all respects with very prompt response and great tips on things to do. We would highly recommend this cottage and hope to be back before long.
We chose this for a 50th anniversary get-together with family members, and what a wise choice. Sleeping areas are quite private, but there is plenty of common space without anyone feeling crowded, even room to do a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle and not be in the way of anyone else's activity. We appreciated the abundance of towels and kitchen equipment. The resident hare didn't seem to mind our presence.
What a joy to wake up in the morning with that view!
We are so glad you enjoyed Cape Breton and stayed in Baddeck at our Boathouse!
Wonderful base for a family celebration!
Our three-generation family celebrated our 50th anniversary at the Lakeside Boat Cottage, and it was a wonderfully comfortable place for all of us to relax in the cushioned wicker furniture and window seats, cook in the well-equipped kitchen, eat together at a table accommodating us all, and sleep in beautifully furnished and comfortable bedrooms. It was also a conveniently central location to the various activities we wanted to take in, from the western side of the Cabot Trail to Ft. Louisbourg in the east. It is beautifully situated with great views of the lake and made a lovely setting for our family photo shoot. We also swam from the dock and the pebble beach and enjoyed the hammock and outdoor chairs.
Since I, Grandma, did the booking, I was delighted when our children thanked me for finding such a great place! They loved the outdoor views upon arrival, and they commented on how the interior decor and presence of family photos made us all feel like we were sharing a much-loved family home rather than a generic place furnished from the big box stores. Jan, my contact person, was extremely helpful from the start, quickly answering all my questions, sending me a map of Cape Breton and activity brochures, and providing porta-cribs and an activity saucer for our 14 month old and 8 month old grandsons. They along with our 3 year old grandson all enjoyed the wonderful array of toys available. The mothers of these little boys were especially grateful for the washer and dryer in the cottage, which they used daily.
The housekeeper was available for any questions we had upon arrival, and she responded quickly and helpfully while giving us our privacy. One of the owners was living in the house next-door, and he also greeted us and was helpful but in no way intrusive. He shared a little of the history of the cottage in their family, which added to our sense of a family-friendly atmosphere. We felt well supported by those with local knowledge throughout our stay.
I would not hesitate to highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a quiet but accessible base for their Cape Breton visit. I'm sure you will find it delightfully comfortable and enjoyable, as we did.
We are so glad you all explored our island and found our cottage comfortable for your family stay! Let us add our congrats for a 50th anniversary! Please return anytime .
We stayed here for just under a week. Great set up and much larger than advertised. Easily accomodated our group of 4 adults and 3 kids. Fantastic views from all the rooms and very close to Baddeck. Good fishing off the dock where we caught striped Bass every night. This is an easy referral to give.
Great location just out of Baddeck. Kids first impression as drove done track was ' Brilliant' and within 5 minutes they were swimming off deck. For them the swimming included seeing starfish, crabs and fish and catching a few before throwing them back. Property lovely inside and well maintained. Setting was such that there was little need to head out in the evenings rather we sat and watched the sunset over the lake. Great location to travel throughout the Cape. Fortress of Luisburg, Skytrail and Ingenosh were all within 90 minutes. Luisburg was fantastic as was the trip to Bird Island from Englishtown. Another highlight was the bald eagles being fed from the boat! Baddeck was easily accessible and while we didn't venture out much in evenings the Bell Buoy restaurant was good and there is a nightly Ceilidh. Caretaker was easy to access and wifi great. Would recommend this cottage as a great central location to roam far and wide across Cape Breton.

On Sunday we had another brew day at my place. Was time to do another Porter and a using some grain for the first time since the Brewsmith kits.
There was bottling of the Australian Amber Ale and tasting of the Australian Pale Ale. Both are a lot darker than ‘amber’ or ‘pale’ and should be renamed ‘dark’ and ‘amber’. The tasting of the Amber was, how should I put this, bad. The idea behind the two brews really wasn’t thought out well enough. I had assumed the sugars in the liquid malt cans would mostly ferment leaving only a slight sweetness. I was very wrong. And I should have realised it when we did the gravity readings. Chas has a review that will be going up, but to summarise… it’s bad. The amber came in at lower gravity than the pale, so that might be worse. I’m not going to even attempt tasting the Amber Ale in two weeks. I think both beers need to condition for a number of months, maybe six or more.
So, with that in mind I’m very glad we did a brew of something that should turn out a fair bit better. Or at least in theory. The brew can’t be classified as a ‘Partial’ because the grains used were crystal. That means no enzymes to convert starch into sugar, aka a mash. This was Steeping of the grains, and therefore this brew should be classified as an extract. Plus a can of amber liquid malt extract was used. There was 500 grams of Crystal (ebc 115-145) used.
I wanted to get the most out of the grains so steeping occurred for a full 60 mins at around 80C. I say around 80C as the temperature wasn’t fully controlled the whole time. It dropped down to around 77C and was as high as 86C at one point. Not great. But, in defence it was only steeping and not mashing.
And so the Baltic Porter started.
After steeping there was a sixty minute boil. The can of liquid malt and the liquid from steeped grains were all thrown into the wort. Once the hot break occurred in went 7 grams of Warrior hops.
After 30 mins there were 3 grams of Fuggles added. Then finally another 2 grams five mins before flame out. This was then put in the big 30L fermenter and topped up to the 10L mark. Windsor hops were added and fermenter given a good shake to get more oxygen due to the expected high alcohol.
The original gravity was calculated at 1.081, but only came in at 1.072. That’s probably a good thing considering what happen to the two Australian Ales recently brewed.
The day had some painful lessons. And they were kept to small batches so there’s not too much pain. If this Baltic Porter turns out bad I think it might be time to return to some kits for a little bit.
PS. Forgot to mention we tasted the Black Rock Miners Stout and Gauss’ Law hopped cider. Review for stout is up and review of Gauss’ Law will be coming soon.
I’ve never tried it myself, but a lot of brewers advocate late additions to the majority of the malt extract if the color of your extract based beers is coming out darker than you’d like. This will change the bitterness profile of your beer (add more bitterness relatively) but will keep the color of the beer from changing quite as much. There’s lots of info on this technique if you do a search for late extract addidition. Good luck on your brew, I’ll be happy to hear how everything turned out!
Thanks. Will have to check it out. Got a few things planned for the next two brews before I return to the full extract style. Will absolutely read up a bit more and keen to see how late extracts change things.

Dancer and choreographer Christopher Rudd, a 1998 high school graduate of New World School of the Arts, has received the first Inspiration Grant from the school’s Alumni Foundation. Rudd, who has his own dance company RuddduR Dance, will use the $1,000 award to help him create Witness, a contemporary ballet inspired by the killings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Freddie Gray, and the protests that have followed.
Rudd, who grew up in Perrine, started dancing via a scholarship program at the Thomas Armour Youth Ballet. That led to his performing the lead child role of the Nutcracker Prince in Miami City Ballet’s Nutcracker in 1991, and to training at the Dance Theater of Harlem. He went on to dance with the Carolina Ballet, Cirque du Soleil and the Metropolitan Opera.

The federal government launched a Web site today that allows organizations to get information about all grant programs through a single, comprehensive site.
Grants.gov is intended to make it easier for organizations to learn about and apply for federal grants. Its launch marks an important milestone in President Bush's electronic government initiative, according to government officials.
"For the first time, there will be a single governmentwide source for information about grants programs," said Tommy Thompson, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, who unveiled the site for the administration.
HHS, which awards more than half of all federal competitive grants, led the development of the cross-agency Web site. The Web site has information about more than 800 available grant programs involving all 26 federal grant-making agencies. Together, these agencies award more than $360 billion.
The site provides information in a standardized format, and includes a feature known as "Find Grant Opportunities," designed to help applicants find potential funding opportunities.
The site also contains an "Apply for Grants" feature that simplifies the application process by allowing applicants to download, complete and submit applications for specific grant opportunities from any federal grant-making agency.
To date, application packages have been posted to the Grants.gov Web site by the departments of Commerce, Education, Energy, Justice and HHS. The section will be expanded as federal agencies continue to post application information about additional opportunities.
Grants.gov is a collaborative effort involving HHS and the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, Labor and Transportation and the National Science Foundation.

What do you do if you are a Prince and your favourite tree dies? You have a memorial pavilion built around the stump to start with.... Prince Charles' 200 year old Cedar of Lebanon tree was 60 feet high and was a stunning focal point for his house and garden at his organic farm at Highgrove.
Sadly, the tree developed a fungus and had to be felled. The answer to what to do was given to an environmental architect who specialises in ecological buildings. There was a young oak tree already growing by the stump so the architect, Mark Hoare, wanted to create a design that would surround the remnant of the trunk and allow the new oak to grow. The wood from the dead tree was full of knots and couldn't be recycled but he dismantled the tree carefully and furniture can be made of the old wood.
The new building is made from oak from the farm's woodland. The bottom part is covered with oak roof tiles and has a hole for the new tree to grow through and another one where the one remaining bough of the tree remains--temporarily. Apparently the Prince has a collection of oriental bird feeders and they will hang from it. The spire is 32 feet high and mirrors a neighbouring church spire. There are openings for birds to nest and alight. In time the bough will die and the oak tree will take its place. So the whole structure is organic in its own right.
What do you do if you are a Prince and your favourite tree dies? You have a memorial pavilion built.

Stephanie has felt drawn to the healing power of touch ever since she was a young adolescent in high school and would experiment by massaging friends. It has always seemed to be something she was naturally drawn to, and was always interested in learning more about the human body and how to help heal people. She took a year off after graduating high school to do some traveling, and then the following year she enrolled in the massage therapy program in Halifax, NS where she spent the following two years. She graduated in 2009 and has been practicing ever since.
In 2012, Stephanie moved to Banff and worked in spas doing massage. At the end of 2015 it was time for another change of scenery, so she moved to Airdrie and has been working at Release Chiropractic & Wellness ever since. She loves the team environment and has really enjoyed being back to working in a clinical setting. She is really thankful to have such a steady and regular client base here in Airdrie, and is always happy to meet new faces. She does a lot of deep tissue and therapeutic massage incorporating myofascial release techniques, but also enjoys giving relaxation massages.
I’m looking forward to meeting you, so call today to book an appointment with me if you are interested in working together!

In November 1095, Pope Urban II gave a spiritual incitement speech at Clermont (Fordham.edu). This sermon was the beginning of a territorial movement that ignited the first crusade. The documentation of the speech can be attributed to the actions taken by the members. The basics of the message can be argued to be the source of the reason Christians had a good reason to embark on a journey to fight in the holy land. Recounting the sermon given by the pope, there are adequate reasons that cement the justification of the Christians to embark on a “holy war” (History-world.org). The pope introduces his speech by addressing the Franks as the chosen and beloved nation of God. This is justified through an emphasis of their works, which is through their catholic faith and honor of the church. Religious dogma is well-inculcated in religion and the church as opposed to belief in God. The Pope uses the nation’s belief in the church and not God to recount to them on their importance and purpose and the imminent threat from the pagans.
The belief in the church makes the Pope an infallible source of information; true and credible (Historytoday.com). Therefore, the message delivered by Pope Urban II on the need of the Christians to rise and take from the heathen what is rightfully theirs makes his message irresistible. The reaction of the Christians would be based on the message of the Pope because they believed he was never wrong. The civil unrest that was in France gave the Pope the opportune moment to deliver his message. He urged the citizens to restore the country to its former glory and not shame their ancestors. This was through elevating the noble and great deeds of their ancestors. To maintain such a noble course, the Pope recounted that Christians in the East were facing resistance from pagans (the Persians), and were in dire need of France. Their brothers in faith were being persecuted, tortured and killed. Other than this, the holy place was being tarnished, and the name of their savior was being taken for granted. He recounted that the soldiers who would forego their comforts and embark on a journey to assist in the war would be forgiven their sins and save their souls from eternal condemnation.
Other than wasting time-fighting each other, Christians were urged to embark on a noble course of avenging their brothers and reclaiming the territory that had fallen to the hands of the pagans. He painted the Persians as a race that was accursed, and entirely alienated from God. In this regard, he emphasized they had no right to win the war and that dominion was promised to the people of God and was theirs by the taking (Historytoday.com). The religious incitement of the Christians by the Pope was no doubt a good reason for them to embark in a dangerous journey to fight in Jerusalem. An obligation had been placed upon their shoulders through the sermon. It was their duty to protect the holy land and restore it to its former glory. This could not be achieved through sitting back and doing nothing. The need to salvage their souls from eternal condemnation and fulfill the will of the church was a major reason that they were motivated to embark on the holy journey. The Christians needed to restore value in the church and show their commitment to the gospel (Fordham.edu). They were ready to leave their comfort zones, their wives, and their children and carry the cross and follow the Lord. This was to be done literally as opposed to spiritually.

text: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common human autoimmune disease. A petroleum ether extract of Eugenia aquea (E. aquea) was analyzed by GC/MS. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities were investigated in rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA). An AIA rat model received orally/daily a vehicle, diclofenac (100 mg per kg b.w.), and E. aquea extract (50 or 100 or 200 mg per kg b.w.; for 21 days). Fifty-five out of 70 compounds (97.77%) were identified: eucalyptol (34.14%), α-pinene (15.91%), L-verbenone (8.01%), camphor (7.38%) and borneol (6.74%). In an acute oral toxicity study, the E. aquea extract did not show any toxic effects in rats at 2000 mg/ kg−1. Only a high dose of the E. aquea extract or diclofenac significantly alleviated (P < 0.05–0.001) all complications observed in arthritic rats, including body weight loss, articular/extra-articular oxidative injury and synovial joint inflammation by increasing food intake as well as improving the antioxidant defense system and inflammatory marker. The dose-dependent modulatory activity of the E. aquea extract was statistically significant. It was equivalent to and sometimes even better than that of diclofenac. The present study proved the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the E. aquea extract, which could be attributed to the presence of eucalyptol and α-pinene.
