It prefers lighter, slightly acidic loamy soils and occurs in dry sclerophyll forest and woodlands in hilly country.Kings Park in Perth has a famous, beautiful avenue of this species planted many years ago, but it has spread to become a serious weed.
"Corymbia citriodora" is an important forest tree, in demand for structural timber and for honey production.
It also is popular in horticulture both within Australia and overseas.The name "Corymbia citriodora" comes from the Latin "citriodorus", which means "lemon-scented".Many naturalists and conservationists do not recognise the genus "Corymbia" and still categorise its species within "Eucalyptus".
"Corymbia" is a genus of about 113 species of tree that were classified as "Eucalyptus" species until the mid-1990s.It includes the bloodwoods, ghost gums and spotted gums.The bloodwoods had been recognised as a distinct group within the large and diverse genus "Eucalyptus" since 1867.
Molecular research in the 1990s, however, showed that they, along with the rest of the "Corymbia" section, are more closely related to "Angophora" than to "Eucalyptus", and are probably best regarded as a separate genus.All three genera—"Angophora", "Corymbia" and "Eucalyptus"—are closely related, often difficult to tell apart, and are still commonly and correctly referred to as "eucalypts".The essential oil of the lemon-scented gum mainly consists of citronellal (80%), produced largely in Brazil and China.
Unrefined oil from the lemon eucalyptus tree is used in perfumery, and a refined form of this oil is used in insect repellents, especially against mosquitoes.The refined oil's citronellal content is turned into cis- and trans- isomers of p-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD), a process which occurs naturally as the eucalyptus leaves age.This refined oil, which includes related compounds from the essential corymbia citriodora, is known widely by its registered tradename, "Citrepel" or "Citriodiol", but also by generic names which vary by region
Pure PMD is synthesized for commercial production from synthetic citronellal.Essential oil refined from the leaves of the tree can contained up to 98% citronella content.The smell of the essential oil can vary, but mostly includes a strong odor compatible alone to citronella oil, with a slight hint of lemon scent.

Newton Henry Mason Newton Henry Mason (24 December 1918 – May 1942) was a decorated United States Navy fighter pilot of World War II who was killed in action at the Battle of the Coral Sea.Mason was born in New York City on 24 December 1918.
He enlisted as a seaman in the United States Naval Reserve on 7 November 1940 and on 10 February 1941 was appointed an aviation cadet.Assigned to U.S. Navy Fighting Squadron 3 (VF-3) aboard the aircraft carrier as a Grumman F4F Wildcat fighter pilot in September 1941, he reported to VF-3 while it was stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Ewa, Territory of Hawaii, in January 1942 after "Saratoga" had been damaged by a Japanese submarine torpedo.Later reassigned to Fighting Squadron 2 (VF-2), Ensign Masons first and only aerial combat occurred during the Battle of the Coral Sea on 8 May 1942, when he disappeared during action with Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft and was declared missing in action, probably the victim of Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters from the Japanese aircraft carrier "Shōkaku".
Mason was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his skill and courage in battle.The U.S. Navy destroyer escort , in commission from 1944 to 1945, was named in his honor.The guided-missile destroyer , commissioned in 2003, is indirectly named for him, as the ship is named for two previous ships named USS "Mason", one of which is USS "Mason" (DE-529).
USS Mason (DE-529) USS "Mason" (DE-529), an , was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named "Mason", though DE-529 was the only one specifically named for Ensign Newton Henry Mason.USS "Mason" was one of two US Navy ships with largely African-American crews in World War II.
The other was , a submarine chaser.These two ships were manned with African Americans as the result of a letter sent to President Roosevelt by the NAACP in mid-December 1941.Entering service in 1944, the vessel was used for convoy duty in the Battle of the Atlantic for the remainder of the war.
Following the war, "Mason" was sold for scrap and broken up in 1947.Her keel was laid down in the Boston Navy Yard, on 14 October 1943.She was launched on 17 November 1943, sponsored by Mrs. David Mason, the mother of Ensign Mason, and commissioned on 20 March 1944, with Lt.
Commander William M. Blackford, USNR, in command.Following a shakedown cruise off Bermuda, "Mason" departed from Charleston, South Carolina, on 14 June, escorting a convoy bound for Europe, arriving at Horta Harbor, Azores, on 6 July.She got underway from Belfast, Northern Ireland, headed for the East Coast on 26 July, arriving at Boston Harbor on 2 August for convoy duty off the harbor through August.
On 2 September, she arrived at New York City to steam on 19 September in the screen for convoy NY.119.
"Mason" reached Falmouth, Cornwall, with part of the convoy 18 October, and she returned to New York from Plymouth, England, and the Azores on 22 November.On 18 October, "Mason" supported Convoy NY-119 in a severe North Atlantic storm.
The ship suffered and self-repaired critical structural damage and still rescued ships from the convoy.The crew of "Mason" was not awarded a letter of commendation until 1994 for meritorious service during this action.
"Mason" joined Task Force 64 at Norfolk, Virginia, on 17 December.
Two days later she sailed in convoy for Europe, passing by Gibraltar on 4 January 1945 to be relieved of escort duties.Continuing to Algeria, she entered Oran on 5 January for the formation of TG 60.11.The escort ship cleared Oran 7 January.
Four days later the "Mason" made radar contact with a surface target.She rang up full speed with all battle stations manned to attack the presumptive submarine, rammed, and dropped depth charges.Unable to regain contact, the ship returned to the contact point, where searchlight revealed the target—a wooden derelict about .
"Mason" then steamed to Bermuda for repairs, entering St. George's Harbor on 19 January.Five days later she reached the New York Navy Yard.On 12 February "Mason" departed Norfolk in convoy for the Mediterranean Sea, arriving off Gibraltar on 28 February.
She cleared Oran 8 March to guard a convoy to Bermuda and Chesapeake Bay before returning to New York 24 March.After sonar exercises off New London, Connecticut, and fighter-director training with naval aircraft from Quonset Point, Rhode Island, she steamed from Norfolk 10 April with another convoy to Europe, leaving the convoy at Gibraltar 28 April.
"Mason" was two days out of Oran en route to the East Coast when the end of World War II in Europe was announced on 8 May.
"Mason" arrived at New York on 23 May for operations along the East Coast into July.From 28 July to 18 August she served as a school ship for the Naval Training Center, Miami, Florida.On 20 August she arrived at New London to be outfitted for long-range underwater signal testing in the Bermuda area into September.

Herta Freitag Herta Freitag (December 6, 1908 – January 25, 2000) was an Austrian-American mathematician, a professor of mathematics at Hollins College, known for her work on the Fibonacci numbers.She was born as Herta Taussig in Vienna, Austria.
She earned a master's degree from the University of Vienna in 1934 and took a teaching position at the university.However, her father (the editor of "Die Neue Freie Presse") had publicly opposed the Nazis, so in 1938 she and her parents emigrated to England, taking a job as a maid because the English immigration laws prevented her from entering the country as a teacher.In 1944 she, her brother (the conductor Walter Taussig) and her mother moved to the United States (her father having died a year earlier), and began teaching mathematics again at the Greer School in upstate New York.
She earned a second master's degree in 1948 from Columbia University, and a doctorate from Columbia in 1953.Meanwhile, in 1948, she had joined the faculty at Hollins, where she eventually became a full professor and department chair.In 1962 she served as a section president for the Mathematical Association of America, the first woman in her section to do so.
Aureliano Fernández-Guerra Aureliano Fernández-Guerra y Orbe (June 16, 1816 – September 7, 1894) was a Spanish historian, epigrapher and antiquarian, also remembered as a poet and playwright.Fernández-Guerra became a member of the Real Academia Española from 1860 and served as its Archivist and Librarian from 1872.

Carlos Alberto de Barros Franco Carlos Alberto de Barros Franco (born 19 May 1946), is a Brazilian physician and professor, specializing in Pneumology.He graduated in 1971.
Barros Franco was born in Rio de Janeiro.His interest for medicine possibly arose from his contact with his uncle, Admiral Barros Barreto, a noted radiologist.In 1966 he defined his vocation when he was approved for graduation in medicine from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ; at that time it was named "Universidade do Brasil").
During his university graduation he was physiology monitor and was approved as an intern of the Intensive Care Unit of Hospital Federal do Andaraí, considered South America's best intensive care unit at that time, where he worked during 1970.In the sixth year of the medical graduation he did his medical school internship in the 1a Clínica Médica of the School of Medicine of UFRJ under the guidance of Clementino Fraga Filho, one of the greatest professors and physicists of Brazilian medicine and whose name was given as a homage to the University's Hospital.After graduating in 1971 Barros Franco completed a residency in pneumology at La Clínica Médica of UFRJ and in the Pneumology Service of IASERJ's State Hospital, one of the best centers of teaching for modern pneumology at the time.
In 1972 he was a scholarship researcher of the Conselho de Ensino para Graduados of UFRJ and in 1974 scholarship researcher of Brazilian's National Research Council (CNPq).He was approved in 1972 by the Education Council for Medical Students due to his proficiency in English, a necessary requirement for the medical training in the United States of America.Barros Franco was a visiting doctor in many hospitals abroad such as Mount Sinai Hospital (New York, USA); Toronto General Hospital (Toronto, Canada); Los Angeles County Hospital (Los Angeles, USA); MD Anderson (Houston, USA); and Centro de Laser del Hospital Español (Buenos Aires, Argentina); with emphasis in Clinical Pneumology, Lung cancer and Interventionist Bronchoscopy.
In 1975 he became an Auxiliary Professor of Medical Clinic of UFRJ's School of Medicine, being approved, in 1985, as an Assistant Professor for the same institution.In 1987 he was named a Member of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (ASSLC) and in 1988 became Member of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and on 25 October 1993 was elected Fellow of the International Academy of Chest Physicians and Surgeons of the American College of Chest Physicians.Since then most of his career has been divided between teaching at UFRJ's School of Medicine (Pneumology Service at UFRJ's Clementino Fraga Filho University Hospital) and his private clinic activity at Clinica Barros Franco – Respiratory Consulting.
Among his tasks in UFRJ's University Hospital the most noteworthy were Medical Residency in Pneumology Coordinator; Chief of Clinic of the Pneumology Service; Chief of the Pneumology Service and responsible for the class of Pneumology in UFRJ.He has also served as president of the Smoking Control Committee of UFRJ's University Hospital, General Coordinator of the Pulmonary Oncology Group of the same hospital, Director of the Nucleus of Study and Treatment of Smoking (NETT) and Health Director of UFRJ's Thorax Sicknesses Institute.In 2000 he was elected as a Member of Brazilian's National Academy of Medicine (Academia Nacional de Medicina) occupying the chair 59 previously represented by professor Newton Bethlem.
In 2002 he was approved as a Professor of Pneumology at the Post-Graduation Medical School of Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RIO), obtaining the highest grade from all the examiners.In 2007, Barros Franco was nominated Chief of Pneumology, Respiratory Endoscopy and Sleep Disorder Service of Casa de Saúde São José, a private hospital in Rio de Janeiro with 300 beds.It is a complete and modern service that offers specialized evaluations, diagnostical and therapeutical respiratory endoscopy, pulmonary effort exams, surgical risk assessment, smoking treatment and Sleep disorder laboratory.
In PUC-RIO he coordinates the institution's Specialization Course in Pneumology that is accredited by both the Brazilian Pneumology Society (Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia) and Brazilian Medical Association (Associação Médica Brasileira).He also lectures on specialized courses in Pneumology, Respiratory Endoscopy, Pulmonary Oncology, Sleep Disorder and the I Course on Smoking, first in the country to qualify health professionals country-wide to handle this public health challenge.Since 1981 he is the Medical Director of Clínica Barros Franco – Respiratory Consulting, one of the most prestigious pneumology private clinics in Rio de Janeiro.
The clinic is specialized in resolving complex cases in respiratory diseases, respiratory endoscopy, pulmonary effort exams, smoking diagnosis and treatment, respiratory sleep disorders, treatment of cough and dyspnea of unknown origin and respiratory therapy and rehabilitation.Barros Franco has held leadership positions in several specialty associations, including
His scientific production translates his permanent interest with keeping him and his collaborators up to date and also divulging the knowledge accumulated in his many years of clinical experience and research with his team.Until December, 2007 his summarized scientific production was

Royal Karlskrona Admiralty Parish The Royal Admiralty Parish in Karlskrona, Sweden, is a non-territorial Lutheran parish for navy personnel and their families, which has existed in Karlskrona since 1685.Its church is the wooden "Admiralty Church" ("Ulrica Pia") built in 1685, located close to the naval shipyard area.
John de Egglescliffe John de Egglescliffe (died 1347) was a 14th-century English bishop.Little is known of his personal background except that he was an Augustinian friar, and that he probably came from County Durham (there is a parish called Egglescliffe there).
In early 1317, Stephen de Donydouer was elected by the canons of the see of Glasgow as bishop of Glasgow.After election, Stephen travelled to the Holy See to receive consecration, but the pope, Pope John XXII rejected his election under pressure from King Edward II of England.A letter dated 13 July 1317 was sent by King Edward thanking the pope for refusing to accept the election.
On 18 August, the pope had learned of Stephen's death, and announced that he would appoint a bishop himself.The pope instructed Nicholas Alberti, Bishop of Ostia, to appoint and consecrate the English papal penitentiary John de Ecclescliffe to the bishopric of Glasgow.This went ahead at Avignon at some point before 17 July 1318.
Meanwhile, ignorant of the pope's reservation, the Glasgow canons elected John de Lindesay.As an Egglescliffe was regarded as a pro-English appointee, Egglescliffe never took possession of this see.However, John was given another see to take charge, as in March 1323 he was translated to the bishopric of Connor.
Sixmilebridge GAA Sixmilebridge is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Sixmilebridge, County Clare, Ireland.Sixmilebridge Hurling Club was founded in 1904.
The first recorded matches were at Junior hurling and football level against Newmarket on Fergus with the hurlers winning and the footballers losing 2-7 to 0-2.The first recorded championship success was in 1940.Kilkishen were defeated in the Intermediate “B” championship in Newmarket.
A further 10 years elapsed before Sixmilebridge won the Junior “A” title and then in 1951 they won the Intermediate Championship beating Turnpike of Ennis in the final.The following year the ‘Bridge reached the County Senior final only to be beaten by Scariff.In 1954 Sixmilebridge won their first ever senior trophy winning the Clare Champion Cup against Newmarket on Fergus on a scoreline of 4-6 to 2-6.
The next county final appearance was in 1962, where they lost to Ruan in a replay 3-9 to 2-8.After this defeat Sixmilebridge slipped into senior wilderness for more than a decade.1968 saw the formation of a minor club.
In 1970 the Minor “A” Championship came to the village for the first time, and the following year the U.14 title was also a first time visitor to the ‘Bridge.The U.14 title was won again in 1975 and they represented Clare in the Feile na nGael competition.The U.21 “A” title and the Intermediate title came to the ‘Bridge in 1971.
However they had to wait until 1976 to contest the third Senior County final in the club’s history.Newmarket on Fergus were the opponents and they emerged victorious on a scoreline of 1-11 to 1-5.In 1977 Sixmilebridge won their first senior championship defeating Kilkishen by 1-6 to 1-5 in the final.
They were beaten in the Munster club championship by St. Finbarrs of Cork in a replay.In 1979 the ‘Bridge won the senior championship, the U.21 (first of 3 in a row) and the Minor (first of 2 in a row) as well.Seven and a half acres of land were bought in 1978 and the new pitch and dressingrooms were opened by Paddy Buggy in 1982.
They won the senior championship in 1983 and again in 1984 winning their first Munster club championship beating Patrickswell in the final.County titles also came in 1989, 1992, & 1993.In 1995 the ‘Bridge had three reasons to celebrate.
The Tommy Morey memorial stand was officially opened, the U.14 won the All-Ireland Feile competition, and the senior hurlers won the senior hurling championship and the Munster title and went on to win the All-Ireland senior club championship on St. Patrick’s Day 1996.In 2008 sixmilebridge officially celebrated the opening of their new facilities by hosting a challenge match between Clare and Kilkenny.In 2009 sixmilebridge captured the u21 A hurling title as they overcame Wolfe Tones, Clooney-quin, neighbours Cratloe and finally Crusheen in the final.

Erland Samuel Bring Erland Samuel Bring (19 August 1736 – 20 May 1798) was a Swedish mathematician.Bring studied at Lund University between 1750 and 1757.
In 1762 he obtained a position of a reader in history and was promoted to professor in 1779.At Lund he wrote eight volumes of mathematical work in the fields of algebra, geometry, analysis and astronomy, including "Meletemata quaedam mathematica circa transformationem aequationum algebraicarum" (1786).This work describes Bring's contribution to the algebraic solution of equations.
Bring had developed an important transformation to simplify a quintic equation to the form formula_1 (see Bring radical).In 1832–35 the same transformation was independently derived by George Jerrard.However, whereas Jerrard knew from the past work by Paolo Ruffini and Niels Henrik Abel that a general quintic equation can not be solved, this fact was not known to Bring, putting him in a disadvantage.
Road to Zanzibar Road to Zanzibar is a 1941 Paramount Pictures semi-musical comedy film starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour, and marked the second of seven picture in the popular ""Road to …"" series made by the trio.It takes place in the Sultanate of Zanzibar.
Paramount executives owned the rights to a story by Sy Bartlett titled "Find Colonel Fawcett" about two men trekking through the jungles of Madagascar.They felt that its plot was so similar to the recently released "Stanley and Livingstone" (1939) that it could not be made as written without seeming too derivative, so they turned the project over to Frank Butler and Don Hartman, the writers on the wildly successful "Road to Singapore" which Paramount had released the year before.Thus reborn as a comedy and spoof of the safari genre, the film resembled its predecessor in every important way, with plot taking a back seat to gags (many of them ad libbed), and music.
The film was so successful that further ""Road to..."" pictures were assured.The film starts with con-artist Chuck Reardon (Bing Crosby) singing "You Lucky People, You" as a side-show caller at a circus advertising an act featuring his friend Hubert "Fearless" Frazier (Bob Hope).
"Fearless" poses as a human cannonball, but he quickly substitutes a dummy at the last minute and hides in a secret compartment.
The flaming dummy sets the big tent on fire and the two of them flee.Their subsequent acts show 'Fearless' doing more dangerous acts, usually getting injured.When Chuck brings the next 'great idea', wrestling a live octopus, 'Fearless' finally balks and wants to go back to the states.
At a fancy restaurant, they're sent champagne by a wealthy man, diamond baron Charles Kimble (Eric Blore).The festive mood turns sour when the police show up, but Kimble bails them out.They decide to go home to the United States, but when Chuck goes to get the tickets Kimble invites him onto his yacht for a drink.
'Fearless' is busy packing and when Chuck comes back, he finds out Chuck has spent all their money, five thousand, on the deed for one of Kimble's diamond mines.It seems like a good deal, until they find out Kimble is an eccentric who would sign over anything and the deed is worthless.Furious at Chuck losing all their money, 'Fearless' ends their partnership.
Later that evening, 'Fearless' comes back with a fistful of money, claiming to have 'sold' the diamond mine to some guy at a bar for SEVEN thousand.They start to leave only to be confronted by the same man, Monsieur Le Bec (Lionel Royce).
'Fearless' had inflated the story a little, so Le Bec and his huge bodyguard want Chuck and 'Fearless' to accompany them to actually see the mine.
Chuck and 'Fearless' manage to escape and jump onto a boat bound for Africa.Stranded in Africa, they are propositioned by Julia Quimby (Una Merkel) to help rescue her friend, Donna LaTour (Dorothy Lamour), from being sold at a slave auction.They bid 150 in local coin on her to rescue her.
Unbeknownst to both of them, Julia and Donna are also con-artists and take half of the payment to get food.Donna reveals to Julia about the seven thousand Chuck and 'Fearless' have and how she has convinced them to take her and Julia on a safari across the country, not telling them it's to see Donna's wealthy boyfriend.As their journey continues, with the help of an announcer and a montage, Chuck and 'Fearless' both vie for Donna's attention.
During a moonlit canoe ride, Chuck proclaims his feelings singing "It's Always You" and Donna realizes she's starting to fall for him too.Julia tells Donna it would be foolish to give up her wealthy boyfriend for a side show crooner.Donna finally confides to 'Fearless' that despite her feelings for Chuck, her heart belongs to another.
Thinking its him, 'Fearless' agrees to tell Chuck.Chuck refuses to believe 'Fearless', who is practically skipping, but then Julia comes in and tell them both about the rich boyfriend.Chuck and 'Fearless' finally learn they've been duped from the beginning and everything had been a set-up.
They angrily run into the jungle to confront her.While she is swimming in the nude, a pair of leopards appear and tear her clothes while she hides in the reeds.Upon seeing her torn clothes, Chuck and 'Fearless' assume she's dead.
They bury her clothes and have a funeral, all while Donna watches.During their attempt at a eulogy, they admit that despite the fact she lied to them, they both loved her.Chuck and 'Fearless' start to sing "It's Always You" and burst into tears, until Donna sings to them and then they both turn on her.
They storm off into the jungle and the safari leaves without them.While trying to find their way back, Chuck and 'Fearless' stumble upon skeleton-laden caves.They jokingly bang on the drums only to summon a local tribe of natives.
The natives, thinking they are gods, adorn them with jewels and give them food.Chuck and 'Fearless' thinks it is great until the natives decide to test them by throwing 'Fearless' in a cage with a giant gorilla.After a comical wrestling match, in which 'Fearless' loses, the natives prepare to cook them both, until they use their infamous 'patty cake' routine to escape.
They return to civilization, haggard, dirty and penniless until they hock the jewels they had received from the natives.
'Fearless' reluctantly lets Chuck go to get the tickets.When he comes back empty handed, 'Fearless' is crushed, until Chuck presents Donna and Julia.
Donna gave up the rich boyfriend because she's in love with Chuck.When 'Fearless' asks what they are going to do for money, Chuck springs another 'great idea' and the film ends with the four of them again doing a carnival act, this time sawing a woman (Julia) in half.The film was placed at No.
8 in the list of top-grossing movies for 1941 in the USA.Bosley Crowther of "The New York Times" loved it.
"Pity the poor motion picture which ever again sets forth on a perilous (?)
African safari, now that Bing Crosby and Bob Hope have traversed the course!For the cheerful report this morning is that the Messrs. Crosby and Hope, with an able left-handed assist from a denatured Dorothy Lamour, have thoroughly ruined the Dark Continent for any future cinematic pursuits.Never again will we hear those jungle drums throbbing menacingly but what we envision Bing and Bob beating a gleeful tattoo upon them.
And never again will we behold a file of natives snaking solemnly through the trees without seeing in our mind’s eye the gangling Crosby-Hope expedition as it ambles in and along the Paramount’s “Road to Zanzibar,” which arrived at that house yesterday.Yessir, the heart of darkest Africa has been pierced by a couple of wags... Needless to say, Mr. Crosby and Mr. Hope are most, if not all, of the show—with a slight edge in favor of the latter, in case any one wants to know.Miss Lamour, who is passingly amusing in her frequent attempts to be, assists in the complications and sings a couple of songs...
Farce of this sort very seldom comes off with complete effect, but this time it does, and we promise that there’s fun on the “Road to Zanzibar.” This time, as Mr. Hope puts it in one of his pungent phrases, they’re cooking with gas.
""Variety" was not so impressed.
