Malnutrition in West Africa
Brady Jeffery, Student Participant Hill City High School, Iowa Malnutrition in West Africa In the West African nations of Niger, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Cape Verde and Mali over half a million people are affected by drought. The ones starving are the poor and unemployed. In January a huge storm killed tens of thousands of livestock on which almost everybody depends on for making it through the hungry season. Then in July, late, low rainfall postponed the start of the cropping season and even eliminated it in some areas. Still suffering from a bad harvest in 2001, the natural disasters have emptied the grain reserves and required families to leave out meals to cope with the food shortages. Many people are forced to borrow money to pay for food that they can find in local markets. The 2002 harvest was 23% less than the previous years. A recent food evaluation showed that many families have eaten their seed reserves and have nothing to plant next year. Damana lies south of the 14th parallel that cuts across the Sahel region on the Sahara desert and that, experts say, is often an area affected by food shortages. "That area is always precarious, the zone most at risk," states Seidou Bakari, head of Niger's national food crisis unit. Last year swarms of locusts stripped crops and grazing vegetation across the Sahel as the region suffered its worst invasion of the insect swarms for 15 years. And while adequate rain fell in many parts of the Sahel, rainfall was more patchy and ended prematurely on the northern fringes of the region, which are virtually semi-desert. -

A Overview on Capsicum Annum L
Sunil Kumar Pandey et al / Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology Vol. 4 (2), 2012,821 - 828 A overview on Capsicum annum L. Sunil Kumar Pandey*, Sanjay Kumar Yadav, Vinod Kumar Singh Department of Pharmacy, Saroj Institute of Technology and Management, Lucknow. ABSTRACT Capsicum annuum L. belonging to family, Solanaceae, is commonly consumed all over the world as spices. It is commonly known as Red pepper in English and Mirchi in Hindi. Historically, it has been known to possess medicinal properties like anti-inflammatory, analgesic, stomachic. The plant is native to America and cultivated in different parts of tropical and subtropical parts of world. C. annuum L. owes its medicinal properties to capsaicinoids primarily capsaicin present in highest proportion in placental tissue connecting seeds to fruits, in the fruit itself but not avoidable in seeds. The aim of the present study is to correlate this Ethnopharmacological usage and to scientifically investigate the potentiality of Capsicum annum L . Key words: Capsicum annuum, Red pepper, Mirchi, Solanaceae, capsaicinoids. INTRODUCTION Capsicum annuum L. has been known since the beginning of civilization in northern hemisphere and has been a part of human diet since 7500 BC1. The genus Capsicum consists of about 22 wild species only five being domesticated2viz. C. annuum, C. chinese, C. frutescense. C. pubescense and C. baccatum. Different varieties are scaled by pungency test for their pungency measured in terms of SHU (Scoville Heat Units). The widely accepted method for evaluating pungency of Capsicum was devised by Scoville in 1912 according to which Capsicum has been divided in to five groups viz. -

Agriculture is expected to play a leading role of feeding a global population that will number 9.6 billion in 2050, while providing income, employment and environmental services. The study assesses agriculture and the state of food insecurity in Western Africa. In the light of slow progress in food security, it is suggested that investments in the agricultural sector that will increase food availability and strengthen the food production system in West Africa should be given immediate priority especially the innovation of family/smallholder farming.

Printer Friendly Version Of: Food: Where
Where Cabbies Eat If there's a line of taxis out front, you can bet the food is good. By Liza B. Zimmerman February 1, 2006 I have spent a lifetime asking cabbies for restaurant tips. They have taken me to classic "Meat 'n' Three" places outside of Nashville and incredible mustard-based barbecue dives in strip malls in Charleston, and they helped me find incredible ceviche in my own hometown of New York City. As a relative newcomer to Seattle, I always wondered what culinary surprises lurked behind restaurant doors here with rows of taxis outside. So I took a little time to find out, chatting with drivers on the day and night shifts, and hopping a ride to some of their favorite joints. There are approximately 1,200 cab drivers in King County, according to Terry Davis, acting Pete Kuhns director of the county's Cab Drivers' Alliance. Almost all of them are male, with the exception of about five women, and they hail from 10 to 12 different countries, he estimates. "Most of the The tibs are tops at Tana Market, according to driver Wessen Darge. cab drivers are not really overweight," notes Davis. The reason becomes clear when you hear about the great ethnic eats they are digging into. "I eat mostly at the Addis Cafe," says Worku Melese, as he sits in the cab line outside Seattle's posh Fairmont Olympic Hotel. Kitfo (steak tartare, prepared with butter) and tibs (a dish of spicy beef or lamb cooked with onions and peppers) are his favorites. -
