Glow sticks get their “glow” when two chemicals are mixed together because of a chemical reaction. The chemical reaction is called Chemiluminescence. A Typical glow stick has a plastic tube with a smaller inner tube inside. There are three components, two chemicals and a fluorescent dye which accepts the energy and helps covert to light. There is more than one way to make a glow stick, but the most common uses a solution of hydrogen peroxide and phenyl oxalate ester along with the fluorescent dye. The hydrogen peroxide is in its own compartment away from the other two components until ready to use. The fluorescent dye is what determines the subsequent color of the glow stick when the chemical solutions are combined.

I have been given the task of writing an essay about Aromatherapy. In this essay I will talk about the history of aromatherapy and its pioneers. I will also talk about oils and the different methods that are used to extract oils from a wide range of sources, the ways that we pick oils for specific needs and how we prepare the oils before we use them on a client during massage treatments.

Throughout the nation catastrophes occur on a daily basis; however there are a few catastrophes that have taken national precedence and left a traumatized nation. Most usually these catastrophes are an act of terrorism. Michael Nelson (2010) describes the nature of such terrorism catastrophes as disconcerting, unanticipated and that unnerve “the country’s sense of safety and identity” (p. 20).

As I have grown up over the years, Halloween is celebrated differently for me.

Throughout early Australian literature, the language employed allows audiences to understand the expression of community identity and values by coming away from the traditional British identity and larrikinism. Famous Australian writer Henry Lawson was sent out to the Australian outback to write short stories for the Bulletin magazine in the 1890s, to end the Bulletin Debate with Banjo Pattison who romanticised the bush. In two of Lawson’s short stories, The Union Buries its Dead and The Loaded Dog, it is clear that he focuses on ensuring that his language highlights the new community identity away from the British structure, and how the value of larrikinism allows for this identity.

Have you ever walked into a store that sold candles? What a beautiful sight to see and even better smell in the air. Have you ever thought about what all goes into making them?
