...Rice in the Low Country of South Carolina ENGL-135: Advanced Composition DeVry University Online Professor Berardi-Rogers Rice in the Low Country of South Carolina According to local history the rice seed was brought to the low country of South Carolina in 1672 and by 1691 the General Assembly was allowing the plantation owners to pay their taxes in rice. Rice flourished in the low country of South Carolina which encompasses the southern coastal areas between the rivers and the ocean. The black slaves in the area where from Gambia River area of Africa where rice was grown. These slaves taught the whites how to use their tidal rivers to plant and grow great crops of rice call South Carolina Gold. (Rice and Slavery: A Fatal Gold Seede) Rice was the money making crop for Antebellum South Carolina, it was a labor intensive crop which produced great riches for the white plantation owners and caused great trial and tribulations for the black slaves. Rice became the staple crop for the southern coastal regions of South Carolina. The rice fields were built by African slaves brought to the low country for this specific purpose. They taught the white plantation owners how to make this crop thrive. It made many white men rich. The rice fields were great works of art. “Historical archeologists have found evidence from records that the embankments were six or more feet tall and 15 feet wide. When compared to building the Egyptian Pyramids, the amount of dirt......

...Rice As a Liberian from West Africa, I ate rice from my childhood days to adulthood. I love to eat rice at any time of the day; morning, noon, evening, and night. I connect my life with rice in so many ways; with my parents, family, friends, education, and the community. As a young child growing up, my parents will take me along with my siblings on the farm with them where we will plant and harvest rice together. Although I was around the age of five years old, but I still remember that we all had some part to play in making sure that there was rice available for the entire family to eat, share with family, and friends, and sell to get money, and buy essential things for the family. The proceeds from the rice was also used to educate us. On the farm, we will all gathered, do our assigned tasks; my task was to pick the unbeaten rice from amongst the beaten rice. I will spot the unbeaten rice, and then put it aside so that it can be beaten again. My older sisters, the twin’s task was to let my parent know if we had certain amount of rice. My brothers’ task was to assist in beating the rice. Our parents’ tasks were to perform all of the tasks, and at the same time oversee them. We named ourselves the picker, the counters, the beaters, and overseer respectively. Once our assigned tasks are complete, and the goal of the day is met, we then sit together around the camp fire during meals time, and eat together while connecting with each other through conversation.

...Rice-fish farming systems in China Both rice and fish cultivation have long histories in Asia, where many species and varieties of each originated and were first developed for human use. Fish can be raised in rice fields, either concurrently with the rice crop or in rotation with rice. Ricefish farming can also be practised at different intensities. Not only do rice-fish systems use one habitat to produce both an important grain and a protein resource, but they also promote some very beneficial interactions: rice plants provide shade for fish, while fish oxygenate the water. The systems also minimize risks for resource-poor farmers, protect natural resources and promote biodiversity. As world rice production increases, so too does the adoption of rice-fish farming systems. THE SITUATION THE SITUATION Rice is the dominant staple crop of tropical Asia, where it has a long history of domestication and a rich diversity of cultivated ecotypes based on three types of Oryza sativa (indica, japonica and javanica), which are cultivated in different agro-ecological zones for their differing growth, grain and yield characteristics. There are four basic rice agro-ecosystems in China, each with its own peculiar edaphic conditions: irrigated ecosystems, terrace ecosystems, lowland rainfed ecosystems, and flood-prone (very deep water) ecosystems. In addition, many freshwater fish species originated in tropical Asia, especially carps, catfishes and air-breathing fishes. In China there...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Brief Background “Rice,” first used in the middle of the 13th century, undergoes a long journey on derivation of its name. It is written to have originated from the Old French, “ris,” which came from the Italian “riso,” which in turn from the Latin “oriza.” Despite having a series of appellation, rice is simply the seed of the monocot plants Oryzasativa (Asian rice) or Oryzaglaberrima (African rice), considered to be the most utterly consumed staple food for a vast portion of the world’s human population, specifically in Asia and the second-highest with the most number of production, after corn, based on the 2010 data of FAOSTAT, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. Notwithstanding the association, Oryzasativaand Oryzaglaberrimaare two different species. The former is more predominantly acknowledged than the latter because of its popularity in cereal biology. Great subspecies with variety of kinds have been widely generated because of its easy genetic modification for the reason that it contains the largest genome, consisting of 430 Mb across 12 chromosomes, among the cereal plant(Linares, 2002). One of its speciesis the sticky, short grained Japonica or Sinica variety, usually cultivated in dry fields, in temperate East Asia, upland areas of Southeast Asia and high elevations in South Asia. Second is the non-stick, long-grained Indica varietywhich is mainly lowland rice, grown mostly submerged, throughout tropical Asia...

...bioethanol has received considerable attention in transportation sector because of its utility as an octane booster, fuel additive, and even as neat fuel (Mudliar, et. al., 2009). Bioethanol can be derived from organic materials, such as energy crops like corn, wheat, sugar cane, sugar beet, and cassava, among others (Neves, et. al., 2007). However, due to their primary utility as food, these crops cannot provide the global demand for bioethanol production. Among other feedstock for bioethanol production, biomass has been reported ideal and well-suited because of its large-scale availability, low cost, and environmentally benign production (Brodeur, 2011). Feedstock biomass is an organic matter that can be converted into energy from crop residues and agricultural wastes like rice straw (Bracmont, 2012). Rice straw is consists predominantly of cell walls and comprised with cellulose and hemicelluloses, which can be converted into bioethanol, and lignin. Annual generation in the country is 11.3 million tons according to the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) (Yap, 2012); while in the whole Asia is 667.6 million tons (Sarkar, et. al., 2012) Nowadays, there is much activity in the area of lignocellulosic bioethanol, where the cellulose component of a biomass is broken down into simple sugars and subsequently to ethanol (http://www.ncsu.edu). Pretreatment has been used to separate the three main components of biomass (cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin) to......

First you need to get into your coconut. Decide which of the three 'eyes' (you'll see them at one end) is the one you are most likely to be able to break into - only one will work! 2. Try to penetrate it with a strong, sharp-tipped knife. If that one doesn't work, try the others. 3. Pour the coconut water out through the hole and set aside. 4. Smash the coconut (doing this outside against a bit of concrete is a good idea). 5. Using a small, sharp knife, lever the coconut flesh away from the shell. 6. Grate the coconut into a bowl. Pour 650ml (1 pint 2fl oz) water over and stir. Lift the coconut flesh up in fistfuls and squeeze out all the juice into the water. Put the squeezed clumps of grated coconut into a sieve, transfer the coconut water to a saucepan, tip the squeezed coconut back into the bowl and cover with the remaining water. Again lift the coconut flesh up in fistfuls and squeeze out all the juice into the water. Transfer the coconut water to the saucepan. Discard the squeezed-out flesh.

...Jerry Rice Jerry Rice widely considered being the greatest wide receiver in the history of the National Football League. In college, he earned All-America honors and set 18 Division I-AA records. The San Francisco 49ers drafted Rice in the first round in 1985, it was the start of a 20 year career. Jerry Lee Rice, born on October 13, 1962 raised in Starkville, Mississippi had a hard childhood; As a young boy, Jerry saw a lot of poor events in his life, but very little of luxury that later became a part of his life. His father, a brick mason built a home for his large family. When money was short, rice helped his father carry bricks and mix mortar. It was grueling work, but Rice later came to be grateful for it. “It taught me the meaning of hard work,” he said. When money was rational, Jerry started to involve his life around sports. In high school, Rice played every position, from quarterback to tackle. The coach started to see that Jerry can play at college level; from there, Jerry made a promise to a Crawford coach, Archie Cooley, to take a recruiting trip. A graceful, speedy, and nearly unstoppable wide receiver was born. Rice helped put Mississippi State on the map; he caught more than 100 passes in each of his last two seasons. As a senior, he had 28 touchdown receptions. Rice was so good that since he was 18 years old, he has been doubled teamed on the field. After leading Mississippi State to a 24-6-1 record, Jerry was going down the...

...Introduction: Rice is the staple food and the largest consumed calorie source among the food grains. With a per capital availability of 73.8 kg it meets 31% of the total calorie requirement of the population. Apart from rice milling, processing of rice bran for oil extraction is also an important agro processing activity for value addition, income and employment generation and make the entire production of rice a viable. Many of the rice processing units are of the traditional huller type and are inefficient. Modern rice mills are having high capacity and are capital intensive, although efficient. Small modern rice mills have been developed by us and are available in the market but the lack of information is a bottleneck in its adoption by the prospective entrepreneur. The present model will go a long way in bridging the information gap. Description of Rice Milling Operation: Paddy in its raw form cannot be consumed by human beings. It needs to be suitably processed for obtaining rice. Rice milling is the process which helps in removal of hulls and barns from paddy grains to produce polished rice. Rice forms the basic primary processed product obtained from paddy and this is further processed for obtaining various secondary and tertiary products. The basic rice milling processes consist of: Process Definition 1. Pre Cleaning: Removing all impurities and unfilled grains from paddy 2. De-stoning: Separating small stones from paddy 3. Parboiling: Helps in......
