Abstract
In "The Industrial Revolution: 1760-1830", T.S. Ashton explores the causes and effects of the Industrial Revolution upon the society and economy of Great Britain. A century prior to the writing of Ashton's history, Charles Dickens' "Hard Times" depicted in a fictional format the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the human lives and relations of the people of an imaginary mill town. A central element of both works is the question of the effect of the Industrial Revolution upon the standard of living of workers in Great Britain during the period. It may be argued that, in both texts, its primary effect is depicted to be an increase in wages for the working class. However, it is important to acknowledge that Dickens and Ashton's depictions of this effect of the Industrial Revolution differ in terms of the distinct generic demands of their respective literary and historical texts.

Abstract
This paper studies the impact of the government policy on the Indian sugar industry and the ordinary sugarcane farmer, who is also the consumer of sugar. This paper discusses an economic model with two components, one of utility maximization and the other for profit maximization. For the purpose of simulation, two OLS regression models are developed in this paper to calculate the increase in sugar production when the technology level affecting the recovery rate of sugar from sugarcane is increased and the effect on market price of sugar as a result of increased production. As a conclusion, this paper also interprets the simulation results and suggests policy recommendations for the government that increase the overall welfare of the sugar consumers and sugar producers.
From the Paper
"On the question of how to increase the recovery rate, Kansal argues that the need is to encourage ?captive farming?, where sugar mills are entrusted with the task of modernizing cane cultivation, adding newer and superior varieties, introducing tissue culture etc. Another important thing is to prevent the staling of cane. This requires planned harvesting of cane, reducing the distance between mill and the sugarcane (by preventing haphazard growth of sugarcane area) and by improving the transport infrastructure in the captive area."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at our health-conscious society, which indulges in the use of sugar-free foods and beverages that have steadily dominated the market. The paper discusses how recent controversies that question product credibility have circulated, thus prompting various analyses on food content. By using the principles behind the Benedict's test, this study employs techniques used to test the presence of chemical compounds in food, particularly in sugar-free samples.
From the Paper
"While the Benedict's reagent can analyze the sugar content of most food products, the conducted experiment focused on sugar-free samples alone. Presenting novel results, this smaller scope diverts from previous experiments involving pure sugar concentrates."
"For the experiment, distilled water, small samples of selected sugar-free food, and a small bottle of Benedict's solution were prepared. Along with test tubes equivalent in number to the samples tested, the experiment required laboratory equipments inclusive of a Bunsen burner, a tripod, a dropper, and a beaker."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the condiments salt and sugar. Specifically, it compares and contrasts cultural views on sugar and salt. The paper examines the historical roots for those views and discusses how they have changed over time. The paper explains that sugar and salt are two of the basic foods in most of the world's diets; in modern times, these two very different foods cause fear, and many people limit them for health reasons. The paper contends that, while sugar and salt are building blocks of diet and nutrition, too much of them can go a long way in ruining a healthy diet.
From the Paper
"Salt is one of the most basic minerals in the world, and yet it is one of the most mysterious. Today, it is trendy to keep "designer" salts in the kitchen - sea salts, French Fleur de Sel, Kosher salt - gray, pink, black, and white salts, all for different cooking purposes. However, salt has a much longer history. Today salt is trendy, but in the past, salt was life, and because of that, it played a monumental part in the history of the world. Writer Kurlansky notes, "Without both water and salt, cells could not get nourishment and would die of dehydration" (Kurlansky 5). Another historian states, "The essential function of salt is to maintain the equilibrium of the liquids or serum in the body; it must remain constant" (Toussaint-Samat 457). Salt is necessary for survival, but it has been used for centuries as a flavoring, and even as currency."

From the Paper
"Finally by the mid 1880's, Cuba received "new credit and investment capital, largely from the United States," that helped them raise sugar production by updating their milling technology in the remaining mills. (Perez, L., 1983, p. 132). Increasing sugar production increased the demand on supporting production capabilities like fuel and transportation. Because of this, the railroads expanded having the sugar industry provide "81 per cent of the total rail revenues," and providing jobs for 39.6 percent of the Cuban population. "

From the Paper
"Since the early nineteenth century, sugar manufacturing has been one of the most profitable industries in the state of Louisiana. Although the rapid growth of Louisiana's sugar cane industry began in the early 1800s, sugar cane itself was introduced to the area about a century before. In the year 1700, the French explorer Pierre Le Moyne Sieur d'Iberville obtained some cane from the island of Santo Domingo in the West Indies and brought it with him on an expedition up the Mississippi River. A bit north of present-day New Orleans, d'Iberville planted the sugar cane. At that time, it was already realized that the best type of soil for growing sugar cane was "a mixture of sand, silt, clay, and some organic material" D'Iberville and his men noticed that this was precisely the type of soil to be found in the Mississippi delta region that they ...

Abstract
The paper analyzes the film, based on the novel "La rue cases-N?gres" by Joseph Zobel, looking carefully at the narrative structure that illustrates the social dynamics of the place and time of the narration. The writer looks at the impact of the economy on the characters, then describes the way in which the language and drama can leave a lasting effect on the viewer.
From the Paper
"The economic structure of this society is always at issue and is addressed in the film from the first as the determining factor in the lives of the people. They work at this particular task because they have no choice--economic necessity takes their choice away. Education is the only way to escape from the cycle represented in this village by the work passed from one generation to the next, with the children working as hard as the adults and seeing nothing in their lives but more work stretching ahead to their death. Much of the economic lesson of the film is told through the eyes of the children, who in most societies would only be observers, but who in this society are direct participants. The children see wealth as distributed for work--they tell Jose that they will be paid on Saturday because they are working, and Jose will not because he is not working. They reflect the way the village lives--the people work all week, they get paid, and they find that they are not paid enough to live. It is an endless cycle, noted later by Jose in his essay when he says that the cane fields killed his friend and that the cane fields are a trap for the young children who start working at age eight and continue until they die. Leopold's view is not different from this except that he believes the whites cheat the blacks and that the books they keep would show this fact, which is why he tries to steal the ledger. Economic issues drive the actions of each individual and of the society as a whole, and economic relations define how each person fits into the whole, not just the whole of the village, but the whole of the colonial structure."

From the Paper
"One of the smallest countries in the world, Belize boasts agriculturally fertile lands. These lands are mainly used to grow sugar cane which is exported to the world. An untapped reservoir of energy is going unused from their sugar cane production. Sugar cane residue, called bagasse, can be converted to electricity through a process called cogeneration. Our team plans to build a cogeneration plant to generate electricity for the country of Belize using bagasse. This electricity will provide an environmentally safe and low cost alternative to all of the citizens of Belize while still allowing the sugar cane producers to export their product."
