Konjac Sponge: A Comparative Analysis
One way to tell if they are fake is to see if the color of the sponge itself are too 'bright'. In my experience, I compare those sponges to 'My Konjac Sponge', because I know their products are all natural and authentic due to them being in the Whole Foods market, which has strict standards for products being natural. When comparing both the 'charcoal' sponges from both brands, you can easily tell 'The Beauty Shelf's' is much darker = use of artificial dyes. Also, I've seen their green tea sponges, and I have to say that one definitely uses dyes because that color is extremely impossible to be accomplished for a sponge naturally. Green tea is usually brownish, so 'The Beauty Shelf' ones are definitely not up to

    Artificial sponges are made in different shapes and in different materials to better fit specific uses of the user. Cellulose sponges are seen a lot in kitchens, and can be used in multiple ways. This is the generic sponge that is easy and cheap to make. A newer form of the sponge is the Melamine sponge. This sponge is specialized with a cleaning foam that can absorb water while being almost as hard as glass. The tile/grout sponge is a large, foamy and soft sponge that is usually used in heavy duty work, like cleaning floors and cars. One of the reasons why artificial sponges overshadowed the sea sponge at the start of the 20th century, and the 21st century, was because they’re easier to make. Most sponges are made mostly of cellulose, which is known for being the most common organic compound on earth. The process starts when cellulose fibers, sodium sulphate crystals, hemp fibers, and dye are mixed in a tumble drum. Then, they are cut into rectangular shapes and are cooked. What this does, is melt the sodium sulphate crystals, and leaves little holes in the cellulose. After that, the sponge goes through a cleaning process to make it suitable for the market. Lastly, the sponges are cut into even smaller pieces, packaged, and shipped out. ( Marie ) In the end, the variety and the…

    The invading Asian shore crab (Hemigrapsus sanguineus), has been a growing cause for concern for over a decade in Southeastern Massachusetts. It is suspected that the species was first introduced in the U.S. as adults or larvae present in ballast water discharged from incoming global trade ships. The first specimen in the U.S. was recorded in Townsend Inlet, Cape May County, NJ in 1988. The first appearance in Massachusetts was near Woods Hole on Cape Cod in 1992. By 1994, the Asian shore crab was identified in my hometown of Fairhaven, MA. As a precautionary measure, the ballast water of incoming international trade ships are monitored to prevent and eradicate new introductions of the species. Researchers are also conducting experiments to…

    Everyday we throw out the trash we never really stop to contemplate where it all ends up like a landfill, a ship, or even the bottom of the ocean. On September 5th 1986, the Khian Sea was well on it’s way for becoming the World’s Most Unwanted Garbage. The ship had so many toxins, infestations, and many other unpleasants contents that no one would accept it. It must be horrifying and nauseating to even catch a glimpse of what was on the ship also to know they dumped it somewhere not worrying about the consequences is truly despicable.…

    The sand shark is very important to my tribe, and I shall tell you why. Once, a very long time ago, a group of hunters were looking for animals for food and supplies. The eldest, and wisest, said “We must continue hunting! Do not lose hope!” Suddenly a squirrel scampered across a cedar branch. The youngest was quick, he raised his bow, arrow drawn, and shot. The squirrel was too quick, the arrow missed. Several days later, hunger spread throughout the village. The three hunters had failed to collect enough food for the winter. Many died, some went mad with starvation. One day in winter, the hunters had no choice but to hunt. After several hours, they noticed that one spot of water had not frozen.

    Many of the practices Miner mentions in the article aren’t really strange to the Nacirema culture. But an outsider views the practices as odd. For example, Miner mentions about a shrine box, which translate to a medicine cabinet being strange to the outsider. The charms and magical potions in the shrine box being the medicine needed cure the ills and maladies of an individual. Medicine had a purpose of curing those maladies for many with similar ills. But the outsider views pulling out these magical packets is not something done in their culture or rather not seen as necessary. These charms and magical potions are given to the people by the medicine men, or rather doctors, psychiatrists, and pharmacists. Another strange practice to the outsider is the belief in the…
