few people know that the australian sugar industry was founded on the sweat of men and women enticed or kidnapped from the islands of the south pacific. sugar slaves is the story of that human traffic, euphemistically known as' blackbirding'. between 1863 and 1904 about 60. 000 islanders were transported to queensland, where they toiled to create the sugar plantations of the far north. then, after the introduction of a white australia policy, most were deported. a few thousand were permitted to remain and today north queensland is home to 20. 000 of their descendants. in 1994 australian islanders at last won official recognition as a distinct ethnic group. a unique community, it is the only substantial black migrant group in australia. this documentray at last uncovers the little known story of australia' s sugar slaves .

extensive work has been performed to discover new strains able to produce such rare sugar - rich eps and to improve their production and purification processes. many of those polymers are being studied for new applications in pharmaceuticals cosmetics, food products, among others. rare sugar - rich eps can also be used as sources of rare sugar monosaccharides. such eps can be subjected to hydrolysis (either enzymatic or chemical) and the resulting monomers can be separated by chromatographic methods to yield pure monosaccharides. the rare sugars thus obtained can then be used as precursors for the synthesis of high - value molecules for use in high - value applications. the exploitation of eps as sources of rare sugars still remains a rather unexplored and unexploited aspect. the economic viability of such strategy depends on the eps content on a given rare sugar but the high demand for these molecules will be a strong driving force .

this is not a sports film at all; baseball is only the setting for a story of human experience. sugar is a wonderfully crafted movie, a story of opportunity and adaptation made more effective through the perspective of an immigrant chasing his
one opportunity
for success. the journey is fascinating, the progress from a baseball academy in the d. r. to living with an iowa family and finally living in new york surronded by others who had made the journey before. sugar is a uniquely american story told in a refreshingly honest way .
it all starts with a secret pr campaign dating back to the 1970s. for forty years, big sugar deflected all threats to its multi - billion dollar empire, while sweetening the world’s food supply. as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease rates skyrocket, doctors are now treating the first generation of children suffering from fatty liver disease. the sugar industry is once again under siege. they dodged the bullet once. can they do it again ?

. what really hit home with me was how many people miss out on their real chance because they just have a simple shortage of passion for their talent. when sugar bashes the water cooler, it' s not because he pitched poorly, but rather because he fears he will be shipped back home. there are many fine moments in this and the final act twist is not just terrific story telling, but fitting as well. it does what a final act should do... connect the dots. think back to the domino scene when one guy spouts that he once hit 98 in spring training. the recognition that he is back home playing dominoes is the real story. good stuff. first time actor algenis perez soto perfectly captures the charm and innocence of sugar and finally the harsh reality of the situation. this is one to see .

pharmaceutical film coatings have been applied for several purposes. these purposes include odor and taste - masking, improvement of dosage form appearance, protection of the drug core from environmental storage conditions (such as light, oxygen and water vapor), easy identification of drug products for both patients and health care professionals, and control of drug release rate. reactive components present within the same dosage form can also be separated using polymeric film coating. in recent times, film coating has largely replaced sugar coating since it has several advantages. these advantages include: reduction in processing time, smaller increases in dosage form weight, better control of drug release and improved resistance to chipping (1) .

isn' t filled with melodramatic developments and a hard landing on u. s. soil. baseball seems, in fact, a friendly if realistic destination, an income where there was none before. if very few players ever make it into a major league starting lineup, well, they know that going in. what' s special about the film - - and this is a very special film - - is how closely it observes the emotional uncertainties of a stranger in a strange land, not speaking the language, not knowing the customs, beset with homesickness and the dread of disappointing his family .

plasticizer loss could also lead to the formation of molecular pores and voids within the polymeric film coatings that could act as an alternate path for the passage of drug from film - coated pellets. this could have resulted in the higher rate of drug release that was observed for the eudragit® rs coated pellets cured for longer times at higher curing temperatures. the formation of molecular - sized pores as a result of excessive film curing and plasticizer evaporation was also demonstrated by ftir studies performed by these authors (
sometimes the star pitcher doesn' t become an all - star phenom. sometimes he just becomes a great person, making an impact to society in a different way. sugar is a rare sports movie that has honesty and shows the reality of what it is like to be a baseball star from the dominican republic trying to make it to the big leagues .

much of such criticism emanates from a misplaced literal - mindedness. one reviewer, for instance, laments the fact that the film’s fidel (demián bichir), although a skilled actor, lacks castro’s physical stature and charisma. such details do not seem to bother those who care about the film’s basic subject - matter, which does not end with the personal traits of even its main protagonist. in a post - screening appearance in cambridge, mass. , producer and lead actor benicio del toro was asked about the film’s reception in cuba. remarking on the cubans’ positive response, he told of an afro - cuban veteran of the revolution present at the havana screening who was portrayed in the film by an actor with blond hair and blue eyes. asked whether this bothered him, the veteran replied that it was of no importance in terms of the film’s authenticity .
i thought i could guess the story. but i couldn' t. there isn' t a single scene in this film where it really matters which side wins a game, and it doesn' t end with a no - hitter. it looks with care at sugar, and there are a thousand sugars for every sammy sosa. probably more. baseball players have become an important export for the dominican republic, and poor families like miguel' s dream of the day when sons will be sending home paychecks. a minor league salary represents wealth .
