History[edit] Popcorn on the cob before shelling Popcorn was first discovered thousands of years ago by the people living in what is now Peru. It is one of the oldest forms of corn: evidence of popcorn from 3600 B.C. was found in New Mexico and even earlier evidence dating to perhaps as early as 4700 B.C. was found in Peru. Some popcorn has been found in early 1900s to be a purple color.[1][2] The legend that the English who came to America in the 16th and 17th centuries learned about popcorn

The ketogenic diet (often called keto diet ) dates back to the 1920s and was created by endocrinologist Dr. Henry Geyelin to treating epilepsy. In 1921 Geyelin found that kind of food which he recommended has a positive effect on how the body processes nutrients‚ leading to fewer attacks in patients. It is very similar to the Atkins diet. Actually phase induction with the Atkins diet is ketogenic diet. Basic principle behind ketogenic diet is to reduce the carbohydrates intake and replace them

much-needed crop diversification for local sugar growers.Until the FAO project‚ which began in 1993‚ the only oil palm variety that grew in cooler African climates was thedura type‚ which produces fruit with a low volume of pulp and therefore low yields of edible oil.FAO agronomists first noted the dura variety ’s cold tolerance in the highlands of Tanzania and Cameroon‚ and seeing its potential‚ transferred the material to Costa Rica‚ where it was crossed with precocious high-yielding tenera varieties.

Outside. Into the Wild is simply an extension of that article which explains what provoked Chris into living such a life‚ who he was‚ and how he died. The author proves to the reader that Chris was an intelligent man by explaining his research about edible plants and his ambition which builds up Chris’s trust by showing that Chris keeps his promises and is very determined. Krakauer also creates sympathy for Chris by including the critical letters that Krakauer receives. Finally‚ the author fabricates

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) is a new technology that allows for DNA to be altered in order to make genetic changes to human cells. This is important in the Science department because CRISPR is a much easier‚ less complicated way‚ more secure and less expensive way to edit genes. CRISPR has two main parts; an enzyme that acts like a scissor that cuts two strands of DNA at a specific location in order for DNA to be added or removed‚ and a piece of RNA that makes
