More than half a century has passed since presidents and kings first came to the Sorbonne to honor this woman. Her slow, noiseless step is no longer heard there. On July 4,1934, this indomitable spirit passed away, her death hastened by the effects of the potent salt of her creation which her long supple fingers had fondly handled for so many years. And the world still wonders which was greater-her epoch-making scientific conquests, or the nobility of her self-effacing life absorbed in the adventure of science. 

Boerhaave strongly believed that the creation is wholly inspired by the Creator and that He gives every natural body its own unique character. He argued that God had lodged a spiritus rector or presiding spirit into all tenacious and durable matter. This spirit is so subtle that it is only perceivable by its smell or taste.

Perry D Antonio, a manager at the Sandia National Laboratories and a former International President of the System Safety Society, says that I view professionalism as transient in nature— much like an electrical circuit in which you need a continuous power source to ensure a fully charged circuit. In this metaphor, professional development is the power source. Professionalism is achieved when an individual s methods, behavior, skill, performance, and spirit of dedication to excel are commensurate with other recognized professional practitioners in the same occupation.Thus, the state of professionalism requires continuous dedication to appropriate professional development activities to ensure the professional practitioner maintains technical excellence in an ever changing world (RE.

A spiritus rector, or presiding spirit, a sovereign oil, the true seat of this spirit, an acid salt, a neutral salt, an alcaline salt, either fix d or volatile, an oil mixed with salt after the manner of a soap, and a saponaceous juice hence arising, an oil firmly adhering to the earth, so as scarce to be separable therefrom and lastly earth itself, the genuine firm basis of all the rest these are the principles, or matters, which a well-conducted chemistry has hitherto produced from plants. ...
