Introduction Foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P.Beauv.] is one of the oldest cultivated crop in the world (Chang 1968). China has been identified as the center of origin of this special crop (Vavilov 1926), where foxtail millet was domesticated and selected as grain food as early as 8700 years ago (Lu et al.2009). The geographical origin of foxtail millet based on cytological studies indicated that wild ancestor of foxtail millet is S. viridis (Li et al. 1945). It was the most important food
I believe everyone at one time or another met someone who taught us to see ourselves more clearly and helped us understand what we wanted from life. I too have someone who inspired me my whole life. When I was little, I use to visit my Uncle’s house every year during summer vacation. I lived in a metropolitan city whereas my Uncle lived at country side. He lives with my Aunty, their five daughters and also my grandparents. Although I liked everybody their, the person whom I loved the most was my

In the late 19th Century, Realism became popular, by challenging many of the ideals and spiritual themes of Romantic painting. The late 19th Century was also a period of intense political instability in Europe and an epoch of major economic and social development in England. The movement grew in prominence, predominantly because of its opposition to the classical model of staid hypothetical modes of representation taught in the academies (Clark 2002, 134). The ideals of Romanticism had failed to
Jean-François Millet was born in a farming family in Normandy in October 4, 1814. Millet realized that there are many poor contrives around the world when he gradually grew up.

Introduction Millet crops are grown in low rainfall (200-600 mm) areas. These crops, being drought tolerant and highly adaptable, are highly suitable for dryland agricultural ecosystems and some of them are important in hill and tribal agriculture. Major millet crops include Jowar or sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), bajra or pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides), mandua/ragi or finger millet (Eleusinecoracana), and small millets comprising of - kangni or foxtail millet (Setariaitalica), kutki or little millet (Panicummiliare)
site in Northern China is significant because it is the earliest empirical evidence of noodles. Huoyuan Li from the Institute of Geology found that the 4,000 year old noodles were made from broomcorn and foxtail millet grains at the Beijing Chinese Academy of Sciences. Roach argues that millet grain was indigenous to China because the grain was grown and cultivated 7,000 years ago (Roach, 2005). Pasta was mass produced in America after World War II. The pasta industry found itself in a second
Uncontacted tribes and small-scale societies are becoming a thing of the past. The world is rapidly growing and small-societies going against the grain are being pushed aside by people, claiming their presence inhibits progress. With more than seven billion people inhabiting this planet, space is becoming more valuable and the outsiders are being forced to endure the regions that no one else desires. Eventually, societies mix, borders are blurred, and another unique society/culture is lost within
Most people do not think highly of the farmer and of agriculture in general. After all, there is no "visible" connection between the rural and the urban life. As long as the food is on the table or in the market, agriculture is simply not important to most people. However, not that many people think that school, sports, movies, and society would not be possible without agriculture. Agriculture was a crucial science that gave rise to the earliest of settlements and allowed humans to grow. Agriculture
The Ainu people, primarily inhabiting the country of Japan, are a key component to anthropology for the sole reason that they are just one of many indigenous peoples who anthropologists’ study and analyze in order to learn more about the diversity and variation around the world. Only being recently recognized, anthropologists study the Ainu, specifically located in both the islands of Hokkaido and Sakhalin by traveling to various regions of Japan where they are primarily living and first-handedly
Every culture around the world has distinct beliefs that lead them to either consume certain type’s foods, or restrict them from enjoying others. An example of this would be countries on the Eastern hemisphere such as Mongolia, China and India have diverse diets, in comparison to countries in the West hemisphere such as Canada, The US, and Mexico. This is partly attributed to the fact that different regions have different cultures, beliefs and traditions. Many people usually attempt to stay in the
