Estimation of Phytochemical Components from Cassia Tora and To Study Its Larv...inventionjournals
1) The document summarizes a study that estimated the phytochemical components and larvicidal activity of Cassia tora seeds against Anopheles stephensi mosquito larvae.
2) Cassia tora seed extracts with concentrations of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, and 0.4% were tested against the mosquito larvae. The 0.4% concentration resulted in 80% mortality of the larvae.
3) Phytochemical analysis of the seed extract found the presence of saponins, glycosides, proteins, tannins, and carbohydrates. The study suggests Cassia tora may be an effective and safe potential source for controlling mosquitoes.

The document discusses how the internet and social media have disrupted traditional advertising by allowing individuals and brands to connect directly. This means that paid media is being replaced by owned and earned media through creating and sharing content online. Many brands are now realizing they need to produce a large amount of content to engage audiences across various social channels. This is leading brands to look more like publishers and is creating new opportunities for agencies and companies to help brands with content creation and management as this becomes a major area of spending.

They have also been calibrating dynamic models to assess economy-wide impacts in Africa and Asia. Key outputs include papers submitted to journals on the impact of promising wheat technologies and drought-tolerant wheat adoption pathways. Moving forward, the team will continue developing global crop baselines and incorporating disease modeling into their work.
The document provides a summary of demographic, economic, and labor market data for LaPorte County, Indiana from 2000-2013. Some key points:
- The county's population grew modestly from 2000-2013 primarily due to natural increase, while domestic migration declined.
- The population is aging and becoming more racially diverse, with growth in the Hispanic population.
- Educational attainment among adults increased, though many still only have a high school degree.
- The number of establishments doubled from 2000-2011, largely due to new business formation. Manufacturing remains the top employer despite job losses.

Obtaining A Good deal On Your Following Resort Reservation
1. Obtaining A Good deal On Your Following Resort
Reservation
Looking for the right hotel can be overwhelming, especially if you are unfamiliar with the city you
will be staying in. So doing a bit of research and planning is essential. Below are some tips to help
guide you as you weed through you hotel choices. These tips can help you quickly find the right hotel
for you.
If you are hungry when you get to your hotel and do not want to leave, consider ordering room
service. Although you'll probably pay more, it is worth being able to comfortably dine in the room
while in pajamas.
When going on a trip, it is a good idea to book a vacation package instead of booking each service
separately. While it may seem like you are spending a lot more money at once, the reality is that you
will be getting a cheaper hotel stay than you would otherwise.
If you are a member of a frequent flyer program or travel a lot, try joining a hotel loyalty program.
You can earn points and use them toward your upcoming stays. You can also gain airline miles if the
hotel is a partner of a frequent flier program. Check the airline or hotel website to see what you're
qualified for.

If you're training for a marathon and have a weeklong business trip planned, there's no reason to let
your running slip. Look online for local running groups
http://www.myrtlebeachcondorentals.com/accommodations/beach-condo-rentals/ in the city where
you are going to stay, and join Learn Additional them for their social runs. If there aren't many
groups, look for local running stores, as they also offer social jogs.
Do not always assume that staying on the club floor of a
hotel is a great way to waste money. While you may
have to pay for this upgrade, you will end up saving
more money in the end. This is because things like
drinks, appetizers and free breakfast are part of the
deal, and these things are very expensive when
purchased separately.
If you are going to stay in a hotel, be sure to give them a call the day before you are due to arrive.
Hotels are not responsible for calling guests to confirm their reservation; that is up to the guest.
Always call the hotel to be sure your room is still reserved.
2. Get all the information you need before booking a hotel room. In addition to making sure they serve
all your basic needs, you should also ask if there are any events planned at the hotel at the same
time you will be there. A convention, for instance, can mean you will be in a noisy, crowded hotel.
If you are going to stay in a hotel, be sure to give them a call the day before you are due to arrive.

Always call the hotel to be sure your room is still reserved.
If you travel frequently, sign up for loyalty programs at your favorite hotels. They provide benefits to
travelers who regularly stay in the same hotel chain. You might earn a free upgrade, late checkout
time, or other great perks.
To avoid spending $2 or $3 each time you want a soda at a hotel, throw a six- or twelve-pack into the
car when you head out on the road. For almost as much money as that one soda, you can have a
dozen of them chilling on ice in the room, or in the mini-fridge.
If you are traveling with children, make sure you tell the front desk about your needs when you call
to make a reservation. For example, do you need a pack and play? Make that known before you show
up at the hotel. Also, ask if there is space in the room to set up a crib. You may need to ask for a
larger room so that your entire family can be comfortable.
There are websites available that offer you an instant discount if the hotel you have booked
decreases in price before your stay. You may end up with a good amount of money back in your
pocket. The best thing about this type of site is that the opposite does not apply. If the rates
increase, you will only have to pay the amount you were originally quoted.
If you do not trust leaving your valuables in the safe provided in your room, hotel staff will store it in
the safe located there. Make sure that you get some type of receipt verifying the items you give
them. This will help cover damages in case something goes missing.
If you book a room during a heavy occupancy period, don't be surprised if you have a mandatory stay
of a few days or more. Many hotels will charge a fee for early departure. Booked hotel rooms are
taken off the market, so if you leave early, the hotel loses money. This means that they must
compensate for that loss with a fee for early departure.
Do not drink the bottled water in your room. You will likely be thirsty when you check in. This could
tempt you to open the water that is in the mini-fridge or on the desk. Hotels are aware of this, that
bottle of water will be much more expensive than if you bought it elsewhere. You might find that
there is free water offered in the hotel gym, however. Or, to be sure you save money, you can just
pack a few water bottles from home.
3. Check with off-the-beaten-path sites for great deals on
a hotel stay. Many of these sites offer "flash-sales."
These are for rooms without much advance notice but
they can offer steep discounts, even beating sites on
sites like Priceline.com. Some flash-sale sites include
Out Escapes and Jetsetter. They are perfect if you can
take off at nearly a moment's notioe.
When you are staying at a hotel, you don't want to
have to pay too much for a bad experience. You need
to know how to find a great hotel that gives you good
service at a reasonable price. Remember the advice you have read here the next time you need to
find a hotel.
