...Glycemic Index for Sweeteners The glycemic index for sweeteners is a function of three things: 1. The amount of carbohydrate present. 2. The type of carbohydrate present. 3. The presence of other substances (soluble fiber for example) that slow metabolism of carbohydrates. Glucose has a glycemic index (GI) of 100 and fructose is 25. Sucrose (Ordinary sugar) which is made up of a combination of these two has a GI of 65. The search for a low GI natural sugar based sweetener is somewhat futile as they all contain combinations of the above, or similar sugars. Although fructose has a fairly low GI , it has other harmful effects and must be considered unsafe to take in large quantities. Agave Syrup has a low GI because it is mainly fructose. Agave has been delisted and banned by theGlycemic Research Institute of Washington DC because serious side effects were observed in clinical trials. Coconut Palm Sugar contains mainly sucrose and one would expect a GI of about 65. However it scores well in the glycemic index for sweeteners list. Tests have indicated a GI of only about 35. This may be partly because of other substances in it such as soluble fiber. However, the testing was very limited. More testing may well produce a higher GI. Yacon Syrup, scores best in the Glycemic Index for Sweeteners that are sugar based. It derives it's sweetness from Fructo-oligosaccharides, a type of sugar with a very low GI. It is probably the only truly raw, organic, natural, low calorie, and...

...For my presentation, I researched about money, trade, merchants, and medical care of Ancient Rome. While researching, I learned many things about the history of Ancient Rome. Their ways back then were very different then our ways today. Ancient Roman money was very similar to our coins today, yet very different. They had five different types of coins, but instead of the coins being worth anything we wish to buy like today, their coins were worth donkeys. Their basic unit of money was a copper coin called an “as”. A larger copper coin was called “dupondius” and was worth 2 donkeys. A bronze coin was called “sestertius” and was worth 4 donkeys. A silver coin was called “denarius” and was worth 16 donkeys. Lastly, a gold coin was called “aureus” and was worth 100 donkeys. All of these coins were called a “tiny newspaper” by the emperor. One side the emperor used to announce important events, such as military victory. Another coin may show the emperor as the chief priest so people think he had the support of the gods....

...Global Exploration and global empires 1500-1700 Name: Institution: Course: Date: Slave trade was so evident in European countries because most Europeans would get Africans and sell them in European markets to work in their farms. They would be punished, beaten, overworked and also not well taken care of. Most of them died in the work places due to lack of energy and food. So they would not go on with the work. The Portuguese were people who were specialized in many different types of work like merchants, artisans, vendors and shoppers (David, 1987). They were very hardworking people such that by early morning they were moving towards the docks in Lisbon. Portugal built an empire based on commerce. This was in September 1600. The people who had arrived early had the opportunity of getting goods from the four continents; Europe, Africa, Asia and South America. Each of these countries provided different goods that arrived by ship in Portugal (Bland, 2001). Example of these goods are, wheat, ,glass, weapons, honey, ebony, coral, salt, coconut oil, and camphor, among others. Brazil supplied sugar and Brazil wood. There was massive competition for cargoes and profits between Italian city states like Venice and Genoa, and Muslim merchants (David, 1987). This stimulated the Europeans to look for overseas routes to the Indies and the spice lands. By this time, the Portuguese were looking for sea routes. ...

...developing countries. Haviland, Prins, Walrath, & McBride define globalization as it refers to “worldwide interconnectedness, evidenced in global movements of natural resources, human labor, finance capital, information, infectious diseases, and trade goods” (Haviland, Prins, Walrath, & McBride, 2008, p. 19). South America and Africa are endowed with rich and highly diverse biological resources. Indigenous people of these countries are gifted with traditional medicinal knowledge of their organic resources. This traditional knowledge reflects the knowledge and beliefs of the local people and the relationship with their environment taught and handed down through generations. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines traditional medicine as: “the sum total of the knowledge, skills, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, whether explicable or not, used in the maintenance of health as well as in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness" ("Traditional Medicine: Definitions," 2000). Traditional medicine has been the indigenous people’s only way of health care for centuries. In this paper, I will highlight the Tsimane’ and the Pygmies. Two societies whose cultures and traditional knowledge have been significantly impacted as a result of globalization. An Amazonian society, the Tsimane’ people of Bolivia have relied for...

...History of makeup Have you ever wondered beauty can be a pain? We often say beauty is pain, but people in ancient times actually believed it. The first use of makeup was found in ancient Egypt around 400 BC. Later, the ancient Greeks and Romans started using makeup but were unaware use of life threatening chemical properties such as uses of mercury and white lead. The ancient Egyptians had a wide amount of makeup utensils. They mainly used kohl to outline the eyes. Kohl was made up of lead, copper, burned almonds, soot and other ingredients. The ancient Egyptians believed that eye makeup could ward off evil spirits and improve better eye sight. Over the centuries, women used burnt matches to darken their eyes, berries to stain lips. They used a young boy’s urine to remove freckles and they also swallowed ox blood to improve their complexions. Women used homemade cosmetics usually to improve their beauty. They put their beauty and health at risk by using and experimenting with the dangerous chemicals such as arsenic, lead, mercury and even leeches to give themselves a pale appearance deemed beautiful in the old day. The uses of makeup were different all around the world. They used make up and other beauty products for different purposes.

...Take care of yourselves." (Document A). The citizens of Hims, who were mainly Jews and Christians, replied that they preferred their rule over the "oppression" of anyone else. The Muslims then persisted and opposed the probabilities to win against Heraclius's troops, although they were outnumbered 24,000 to 70,000. They protected the citizens of the city they had taken control of, in return for a reasonable tax. This demonstrated the honesty and character of the Muslims and the Islamic Empire who made sure they kept every promise and did not deceive or steal from their allies. These characteristics were major factors that contributed to the rapid growth of Islam. When the Muslim soldiery attacked Spain, a treaty between...

...Understand how Al Qaeda directs its operatives concerning cover and cover operations Illicit organizations and movements seek cover so as to operate effectively. Some organizations are thus partly covert while others, particularly criminals and revolutionaries, are entirely covert. Al-Qaeda’s need for cover deepened with the destruction of the Afghanistan camps the quality of al-Qaida's information on targets in New York City and Washington, D.C., indicates a covert intelligence-collection capability on par with some of the world's best spy services.4th generation warfare is highly irregular, unconventional and decentralized in approach. Al-Qaida employs symmetrical operations to bypass the superior military power of nation-states by attacking and exploiting vulnerable political, economic, population, and symbolic targets, thus demoralizing both government and its populace. Al-Qaeda uses cover and related techniques of intelligence and counterintelligence tradecraft. Al-Qaeda is a radical network organisation within the broader Islamist Salafi movement, legitimizing its terrorist operations as a global Islamist jihad whose raison d’être and modus operandi are inextricably embedded in disturbing the conglomerate of international Western diplomatic, financial, military and intelligence policies today. Gunaratna (2002, p. 296) offers a detailed description of al-Qaeda as an Islamist organization full of vitality” It has a “politically clandestine structure” inspired by...
