The Art of Sugaring
Sugaring is a technique very similar to waxing with different benefits. Anyone who has waxed or considered waxing should take this option of hair depilation into consideration. It has been around for thousands of years, originated by the ancient Egyptians; its other term is hallawa, which is what sugaring is referred as in Egypt. Sugaring is similar in the sense of waxing because it is all natural, chemical free, and has about the same hair regrowth rate for hair. Sugaring would be best compared to hard wax because there is no use of strips in the process. It is slightly different in the sense that it can be made right at home for an affordable amount and there is no use of sticks. Wax also becomes a liquid when warmed for use, where as sugaring becomes a paste or gel that is room temperature and only clings to the hair and not the skin, like hard wax. There are kits available to purchase for sugaring, but the cheaper, less expensive route would be to make it yourself. All you need is 2 1/2 cups of granulated white sugar, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of water. You will also need baby powder and a washcloth for the process, but that comes later. You will need a pot, a wooden spoon, and a glass jar if you are interested in storing the sugaring mixture for later. First you will combine the 2 1/2 cups of sugar, the 1/4 cup of water, and the 1/4 cup of lemon juice into a pot and cook on high heat until the mixture starts to boil; make sure to stir the mixture with a wooden spoon consistently. Once the mixture has reached a boil, stir until golden brown and then remove the pot from the heat until it cools down. Let the mixture sit and cool until it is cool enough to touch and then proceed to take the suga...

...ess of removing the hair with the sugaring mixture. Today, there are salons and day spas that perform sugaring treatments, which are much more expensive, and can be in the same price range as waxing or me because it is not as commonly used in spas as waxing . It is difficult to find a professional that uses the paste form of sugaring as opposed to the gel if you are able to find a salon that you like that does sugaring, and even though it is inexpensive, making it at home can be difficult because you have to be able to get just the right consistency of the sugaring mixture or else it will not hold on to the hair, therefore leaving you with a mess and leaving you with hair still on your body. At any lengths, whether you feel that sugaring is the right option for you, it is a great option to consider when deciding on which route of hair removal you want to use.
This technology not only helps in the restoration of hairs of the scalp, but also helps in restoring the hairs in the eyelashes, eyebrows and beard.
For example, during the Renaissance, well-born European women plucked out hairs, one by one, from their natural hairline all the way back to the crowns of their heads, to give them the high rounded foreheads thought to be beautiful at the time. Those who didn't want to resort to plucking used poultices of vinegar mixed with cat dung or quick-lime. The latter often removed some of the skin as well as the hair.
“The Toxic Truth About Sugar”, written by Lustig et al. varies in their usage of rhetorical strategies to try to have their readers better understand that sugar, as common as it is, can be very dangerous when a big amount is consumed in one day. The numbers in our world don’t lie: A shocking statistic is that there are currently thirty percent more people who are obese than there are healthy. This discussion arose from the staggering facts that obesity is becoming more of an epidemic than ever before. The United States has a choice to make: Take the steps necessary to slow obesity or do nothing at all, like it feels we are currently doing. This can be a good or bad rush, depending on how you assess the situation.

Throughout Australian history a racist attitude towards Aboriginals has been a significant issue. From the moment the early settlers arrived on our shores and colonised, the Aboriginals have been fighting for the survival of their culture. The Aboriginals haven been take in and dominated to bring them in line with an idealistic European society. These themes have been put forward by Jack Davis in his stage play, No Sugar, the story of an Aboriginal family’s fight for survival during the Great Depression years. Admittedly Davis utilises his characters to confront the audience and take them out of their comfort zone, showing them the reality of Aboriginal treatment. This is an element of the marginalisation that Jack Davis uses through out the play this starts from the beginning where he discomforts the audience by using an open stage. One character that Davis uses through out the play is A.O. Neville, Davis uses him to portray the issue of power, this is a very important issue that is carried through out the play.
One of the leading factors in the growth of the sugar trade was the ideal land in the Caribbean for the growth of cane sugar. After the discovery of the Caribbean in 1492 by the Portuguese, colonies began to pop up in every island. Countries such as France, Spain, and Britain controlled major islands such as Jamaica, Cuba, Saint-Domingue, and Puerto Rico in 1750 (Doc. 1). These countries also colonized surrounding islands. The more intriguing fact is the climate data in Document 2. The ideal latitude range for cane sugar production is between 37˚ N to 30˚ S. Looking on the map on Document 1 and on the second chart in Document 2 confirms that the islands in the Caribbean are in this range. Other factors such as rainfall, soil type, and temperature
Anything that is used to replace regular sugar, or sucrose, can be considered an artificial sweetener or sugar. Americans are increasingly using artificial sugar. “Fake sugar” is toxic, not just to the body, but to the metabolism as well. Artificial sweeteners were designed to be sugar substitutes as a less fattening alternative because seventy five percent of the population is overweight in United States. These are in the brand names that most people recognize such as Splenda, Sweet One, Equal, Sweet 'N Low, and many more. These artificial sweeteners are all synthetically made in labs and can legally be labeled as 'natural' because it appears somewhere on the Earth, despite it being made in a lab. The reason people use artificial sweeteners in their food is because these products do not add calories to the food. Dieters and people who are aggressively trying to lose weight see this as a golden opportunity to eat something that is just as sweet, but does not contain the calories. Likewise, artificial sweeteners do not need to be used in huge quantities to sweeten something. In fact, it takes much less than regular sugar to sweeten the same product. Perhaps this seems way too good to be true. This would then lead us to investigate the following question: How do artificial sugars affect our body?

Mark Bittman’s article, “Taxing Sugar to Fund a city,” emphasizes that on one hand, the taxation of sugar sweetened beverages would be a bonus. On the other hand it could continue to not be supported by the people and government. Taxation of sugar sweetened beverages is being considered in many different places throughout the world. The taxation was becoming a failure everywhere, until it worked for the first time in several cities. Cites such as Northern California, San Francisco, Albany and Richmond. These cities opened up their ideas to this new type of taxation, once those places became supportive many others begin to also be supportive of this new taxation. Philadelphia plans to use the taxes received for the needy, community schools, public parks, recreation centers and libraries. Some cities support using the money this way rather than using the tax for safe free drinking water like in Berkley and Mexico. Taxed products

A few people would respond with other revolutions such as the Industrial Revolution, the Renaissance, or the Reformation. The commonality between all of the revolutions listed above is that all revolutions have resulted in direct changes in the Western World. This is a result of ethnocentrism, considering one’s culture to be superior to others. However, there are many revolutions that have occurred mostly outside of Europe. An example would be the Sugar Revolution, “a series of interrelated changes that altered
