However, in the early 1940s the United States government diminished the beauty of this once pristine place. They allowed the Hooker Chemical Company to dump twenty-one tons of…

Abstract 6- bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives 2-7 were synthesized.. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-microbial activity using the agar diffusion technique . The tested compounds were evaluated against, Gram +ve bacteria , Gram -ve bacteria, Yeast and Filamentous Fungus. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was made in vitro for compounds which showed antimicrobial activity. Compound 3b has broad spectrum activity against Gram +ve bacteria, Gram…

Charlotte Perkins Gilman wanted to spend her life actively “living” (xv). She was devoted to work and public service, especially that of the women’s suffrage movement, and she viewed her life as an ongoing verb, in which she needed to be constantly moving forward and working.
