...The makers of Louisiana Hot Sauce Market it as one of the first Cajun food products to become commercially available. The sauce was first made and sold in 1928 by Bruce Foods, about five years after Baumer Foods (another Louisiana-based company) began producing Crystal Hot Sauce. Since then, Louisiana Hot Sauce has grown to become one of the iconic American hot sauces and is currently available in a large number of grocery stores. In order to get a better understanding of what has made this hot sauce popular for so long, let us take a look at what goes into it. The Ingredients in Louisiana Hot Sauce Aged Peppers Vinegar Salt The Pepper in Louisiana Hot Sauce According to the Wikipedia page for Louisiana Hot Sauce, the peppers used are long cayenne peppers. The About page on the sauce's website states that the peppers are combined with vinegar and salt and then fermented. The benefits of fermentation include a more complex flavor in addition to a reduction in the amount of vinegar needed to acidify the sauce. The Scoville rating of long cayenne peppers is in the 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Unit range, which means that it is 10 times hotter than a jalapeno. The Scoville rating of Louisiana Hot Sauce is 450, making it one of the milder hot sauces. Note that the 450 score is the same as that of another popular mild hot sauce: Frank's RedHot Cayenne Pepper Sauce. The reduction in heat is thought to be more the result of dilution with vinegar rather than the fermentation...

...Queen Ann's War, which lasted from 1702 to 1713, was the second of the four North American wars that were waged by the British and the French between 1689 and 1763. This was a direct result of the global maritime and colonial rivalry between Great Britain and France. In addition, it was also a result of the struggles between these two forces for control of the Europeans and North American continents. Queen Ann's War occurred because of unresolved issues that developed at the end of King William's War, from 168 to 1697. The main events that occurred during Queen Ann's War were the capture and the burning of Saint Augustine by English colonies in 1701. During this time, St. Augustine was under Spanish possession. A major French operation was the capture and the burning of Deerfield, Massachusetts and the massacre of many of residents of the town in 1704. 1 What followed these operations were unsuccessful expeditions in 1704 and 1707 by the troops from New England against Port Royal, Acadia and the conquest of Arcadia in 1710 by colonist that were supported by a squadron of British ships.2 One major operation that was a failure by the British was a joint venture by the British and the colonial joint military against Quebec and Montreal. When the war ended in 1713, it brought an end to the War of the Spanish Succession. Walker's Expedition to Quebec was also referred to as the Quebec Expedition. This was an attempt by the British to attack Quebec in 1711 during Queen Ann's...

...The Efforts of a Fisherman: ISU Essay The life of a fisherman in the early 1900's was not an easy life. Six out of seven days were spent toiling for long hours, putting oneself into extremely dangerous situations, doing the same repetitive tasks year in and year out. This is exactly what life was like for Nova Scotian fisherman, David Jung. Jung is the protagonist in the novel, Rockbound by Frank Parker Day, a story of the small, desolate island Rockbound on the south shore of Nova Scotia in the early 1900’s. The book’s plot is set around the timeline of David Jung’s life. It tells his life story from when he was a young orphan at thirteen to when he is happily married living on his own island. In a classic book like this, one can pull numerous themes away from it. Author Frank Parker Day clearly demonstrates the theme of relentless effort will eventually pay off. This is shown through the conflict, the setting, and in major events in the plot. Rockbound is filled with many literary devices to illustrate this theme, but conflict is one of the most effective, specifically person versus person and person versus nature. An example of the former surfaces right in the beginning of the novel, when David is attempting to get a job at Uriah’s fishery. When David asks for the job, he is immediately turned away, but with persistence and relentless effort, David eventually wears Uriah down. “’I knows how to work’ repeated the boy… ‘You ain’t got no place around here’, ‘Yes I is…...

...The British and colonial operations against New France during Queen Anne’s War were more or less uneventful. The failures of these operations only caused distrust between Great Britain and the colonists. In 1709 the Queen approved a plan that would send ships to help the colonist against New France. Up until that point only the New Englanders were willing to fight against New France, but once the Queen agreed to help New York at that point was obligated to help. Once the New Yorkers got involved they were able to persuade the Iroquois in helping them and to break their neutrality act with Canada. By July 1709 the colonist had two armies to attack New France. Colonel Francis Nicholson commanded 1,500 militiamen and several hundred more Iroquois that gathered at Wolf Creek. The second force was 1,200 militiamen that gathered at Boson, so that they could sail up the St. Lawrence River once the shops from Britain arrived, but they never did. England had canceled its part of the deal in early summer, but the word never made it to the two armies until October. The colonist went through a lot of time, work, and money to get these forces ready, but it was all for nothing. In 1710 however the Queen did a little good for the colonist. She sent warships a regiment of marines to help a militia force capture Port Royal; this made Acadia a British Province. This act helped the British/colonial relations. These new found trusts lead to the colonist again asking for British help...

...Life After Colonies For the people living in Nova Scotia, before Confederation was simply just a colony of around 300,000 to 400,000 people which spread across the coastline. The population of Nova Scotia was made up of people of British, German, Mi’kmaq decent, and more. The largest city at the time was the city of Halifax, and the economy was based on things such as fishing, agriculture, and ship building. Both East and West Canada had their own railways, but neither of these had joined up with the other colonies. Since the St. Lawrence river froze yearly during the winter, this then caused transportation by water to stop. It was around this time the newer ways of manufacturing and the railways were now starting to make their debut. In...

If you are not prepared, you are unlucky.” —Jane Savoie, U.S. Olympic Equestrian Athlete AtlanticRider.com has established itself as the most popular website for horse enthusiasts in Atlantic Canada. In the first 10 days of 2004, the Riders’ Forum alone hosted more than 85 000 page views by its 1129 registered members and other visitors (considered “lurkers” because they visit, but don’t post). This is an amazing accomplishment for a site with a target market of approximately 3851 participants who ride and drive about 18 000 horses. The present challenge for the CEO of AtlanticRider.com is to overhaul the site in a way that meets current challenges and ensures future success (see Exhibit 6-1). The Initial Business Model AtlanticRider.com is a web portal serving horse enthusiasts in Atlantic Canada and beyond (see Exhibit 6-2).

She expected it to be well received, based on the rapid growth of the World Wide Web and the striking similarities in demographics of internet...

...theory does not only have to apply to prisoners but can also apply in economics in regards to firms and their competition and how cooperation between companies can often lead to a greater good (Dixit & Nalebuff, 1991). These two theories occur often in day-to-day life and seem to reveal how humans are predisposed to think of themselves first before thinking about the good of others. This paper will examine the extent of these theories related to the overfishing of Northern Cod on the eastern cost of Canada and how these phenomena have affected the physical, population and economic geographies of the area. According to Torsten Berhardt, the Atlantic/maritime region of Canada includes the provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island (2002). Berhardt goes on to explain that these provinces all include a mix of rocky uninhabitable highlands and much more...

...Dear Shai, Hope all is well in London; I truly miss my family dearly. Cousin it still seems unreal to me that I’ve been captive from my homeland and enslaved in these traitorous lands. Being beaten by these wild white men who treat you like an animal, wanting you to call them master if he was my god. I have been praying to my lord and savior hoping that he gives me way to gain my freedom to start living a better life, and I feel as if he has answered my prayers. There was a group of us reading a proclamation written by John Murray and he stated that “I do require every Person capable of bearing Arms, to His majesty’s standards, or be looked upon as traitors to his majesty’s Crown and Government, and thereby become liable to the Penalty the Law inflicts upon such Offences; such as forfeiture of Life, confiscation of Lands, and I do hereby further declare all indentured Servants, Negroes, or others, free that are able and willing to bear Arms.” Meaning if we are bold enough to runway from our master’s and fight the Americans for the British crown we will be granted our freedom with free land. I truly feel like this is my calling to fight in the war to stay loyal to the crown. I have nothing to lose! I am willing to risk my life escaping this plantation that I am forced to work hard labor on being beat like a cage animal. Dreaming of one day being free to live my life, having my own land to raise a family on and building my own legacy. There’s no reason for me to be a loyalist...
