...Add less sugar to your diet B When you hear sugar, you go “MMMMMMMMMMMM!”. However, sugar can do serious damage to your body. In this paragraph, I am trying to convince you that there should be less added sugar in your diet. Added sugar means sugar that is added to your food to make it taste better. An example is white sugar that you put in your applesauce to make it sweeter. Sugar that is in the apples by nature is called natural sugar. This is great to eat! Less added sugar in your diet is good for your health, teeth and can even improve your beauty. My first reason for less sugar in your diet is that it is better for your health.

In faded black ink made of soot and gum Arabic mixed with water, an ancient Egyptian scribe has carefully described what he calls a "powder for white and perfect teeth". When mixed with saliva in the mouth, it forms a "clean tooth paste". According to the document, written in the fourth century AD, the ingredients needed for the perfect smile are one drachma of rock salt - a measure equal to one hundredth of an ounce - two drachmas of mint, one drachma of dried iris flower and 20 grains of pepper, all of them crushed and mixed together. The result is a pungent paste which one Austrian dentist who tried it said made his gums bleed but was a "big improvement" on some toothpaste formulae used as recently as a century ago. The discovery of the formula caused a sensation among Austria's normally sedate dentists when it was disclosed at a dental congress in Vienna. Dr Heinz Neuman, who attended the meeting where the recipe was...

The variants are tested by the researchers themselves in a span of one week - they observed the amount of time it takes for teeth to whiten, and the budget required for each product. This study specifically seeks to: 1) Compare and contrast the whitening efficiency of Hydrogen Peroxide tooth gel, Colgate and Close-Up. 2) Determine which of the three products is the most efficient in terms of teeth whitening and costs less budget. 3) To know if homemade Hydrogen Peroxide tooth gel is a possible substitute for your usual commercial toothpastes. The study was conducted by the researchers testing the products themselves. They used the products in a span of one week and observed if their teeth whitens. The price of the product and number of days before teeth whitens are closely observed by the researchers. Based on the study, all products managed to whiten teeth, the only difference is that Hydrogen Peroxide took the least amount of time and it's the product that costs least out of the three. It is recommended that future researchers should: 1) find out the other uses of Hydrogen Peroxide. 2) be extra cautious while brushing your teeth with the Hydrogen Peroxide paste; please make sure you don't swallow anything. 3) find out if the Hydrogen Peroxide paste can whiten other materials, not only the teeth.

For Dick Prosser (black male) in the story The Child by Tiger he seems to be a very nice guy who suddenly hit his breaking point and begins a killing spree one day. In the story The Most Dangerous Game General Zaroff (white male) was a very good hunter. But, hunting animal’s wasn’t appealing to him anymore, so the general decided to hunt for something that can reason and match his wits (humans). Both men had their own reason for their motive to kill. However, there outcome was still the same. Dick Prosser was a religious man who was recently discharged from the army and was adamant to find work as soon as possible. Quickly he found a white family The Shepperton’s who hired him to work for them and let him in their basement .The way Dick Prosser carried himself and worked around the house said military.

...freedom facing greatest threat: Google founder Summary: The co-founder of Google, Sergey Brinn, said “the principles of openness and universal access that underpinned the Internet’s creation are facing their greatest threat.” Brinn said that the threat to freedom of the Internet came from various factors including government effort to control access and communication. The attempts by the entertainment industry to stop piracy and the rise of restricting platforms such as Facebook and Apple which determines which type of software can be released are also leading to greater restrictions. Facebook and Apple’s can contribute to stifling innovation and lead to the fragmentation of the webverse. Significance: Why is there a want for a free unrestrained internet? Why is openness good? The internet is abstract in its idea, an abstract form that encompasses the entire world connecting people from across the globe. The concept is so enormous and the possibilities within leads people to believe it to be as a sort of uncharted territory where the possibilities are endless. This realm can be used for entertainment, business, black market dealings, and innovation. Restriction on the internet closes the idea of the internet itself and for many who have been so accustomed to its freedom find it unsettling. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0414-ucsd-harassment-20120414,0,5116422.story U.S. ends probe of racial bias at UC San Diego Summary: UC San Diego officials have reached an agreement...

Mr. Teddy Henfrey’s First Impressions Summary Teddy Henfrey, a clock repairman, comes to the inn for tea. Mrs. Hall asks him to “repair the clock” in the stranger’s room.
