Hong Kong was found to have the highest average peak link speed of just more than 54 megabits per second through the third quarter of 2012, in line with analysis by Akamai Engineering.

It's the first period speeds have shot prior 50 Mbps and, when the global trend continues, it's just gonna get faster. While there is a slight drop in pace in the quarter, over the 12 months average peak speeds surged 36%.
From the peak speed stakes, Hong Kong is accompanied by South Korea (48. 8 Mbps), Asia (42. 2 Mbps), Latvia (37. 5 Mbps) as well as Romania (37. 4 Mbps).

The us straggled in in fourteenth place with 29. 6 Mbps. U. S. state while using fastest connection is still Delaware which has a swift 10. 9 Mbps, even though the District of Columbia is actually catching up.

For the actual fastest average connection rates of speed in Europe, head over to Switzerland (8. 7 Mbps), which just beats the netherlands (8. 5 Mbps) for you to second, while the Czech Republic (7. 7 Mbps) is in third.
The place Not to ever be for speedy downloads available is China. Despite a 21% hop in connection speed through the quarter, the country's average peak connection reached merely 7. 1 Mbps. So that it is the slowest in Asia and gives it a lowly global rank of 123.

For consistency, South Korea was the best place to log on, boasting the best average connection speed involving 14. 2 Mbps. Asia came second at 10. 7 Mbps and Hong Kong third which has a surprisingly sluggish 8. 9 Mbps.

Their state of the Internet Report also revealed the superior sources of Internet problems, as well as the most prevalent targets.
Once again, China was found to get the single largest way to obtain attack traffic -- 33% -- through the quarter. Attacks from the nation doubled during the time, a statistic the report identified as "somewhat surprising. "

The us and Russia came next within the top three. In many, the top 10 countries were liable for almost three quarters involving global attacks.

Akamai releases its report every 1 fourth, based on information obtained from 680 million unique IP addresses linked to its cloud platform.

Yam flour is powdered starch widely used in food preparation. Typically white, the flour is commonly used in African dishes, such as amala. It may be used in many other recipes if desired as well. It is prepared by grinding dried yams until they reach a powdered consistency. Dehydrated flour from yams may also be produced from sun drying.

Much attention has been given to the development, cultivation and processing of cassava in Nigeria as oppose to the lack of coordinated effort towards the development, cultivation and processing of yam, another root crop like therefore leaving most of the harvested crop to be wasted and a great investment opportunity to be tapped by savvy investors especially in the processing of yam to yield yam flour used in the preparation of pounded yam.

Yam is the common name for some species in the genus Dioscorea (family Dioscoreaceae). These are perennial herbaceous vines cultivated for the consumption of their starchy tubers in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania. There are many cultivars of yam though only six are important as staples in the tropics. The economically important species grown are Dioscorea rotundata (white yam), Dioscorea alata (yellow yam), Dioscorea bulbifera (aerial yam), Dioscorea esculenta (Chinese yam) and Dioscorea dumenterum (trifoliate yam).

Yams are high in vitamin C, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, potassium, and manganese; while being low in saturated fat and sodium. Vitamin C, dietary fiber and vitamin B6 may all promote good health. Furthermore, a product that is high in potassium and low in sodium is likely to produce a good potassium-sodium balance in the human body, and so protect against osteoporosis and heart disease.

Worldwide yam production in 2007 amounted to 52 million tons, of which Africa produced 96%. Most of the world's production comes from West Africa representing 94%, with Nigeria alone producing 71%, equalling more than 37 million tons. Though yams can be stored up to six months without refrigeration most of the yearly production is lost through spoilage because is lack is post harvest facility in the country.

In Nigeria , Though yams can be consumed by boiling, roasting and processed to yield Amala (especially in South western part of the country) ,the kernel of this article would focus more it use in the processing and production of instant yam flour.

Due to the increasing number of middle class family and the rise in health consciousness amongst the populace, traditional ways of processing pounded yam in Nigeria is fast becoming a thing of the past as more and more family are shifting from the use of piston and mortars to ready processed yam to be used for pounded yam production, in order to reflect there new found status.

The production process of producing instant yam flour is quite simple; it involves slicing, parboiling and milling of the product to yield flour. The machinery and equipment required to production can be sourced locally though the promoter can also source the machine from abroad.

Equipment For Making Yam Flour
The following machinery and equipment are required for small scale pounded yam flour production. These equipments can be sourced locally at affordable prices. They include:
Grater,
Milling machine,
Drier,
Weighing scale,
Sieving machine,
Sealing machine,
Branded Polythene or nylon bags for packaging.

Raw Materials For Yam Flour
The only raw material for pounded yam flour production is Yam Tubers. The yam tubers can be sourced locally from the local farmers in the villages. Note that the quality of yam tubers used for production will tell on the quality of your pounded yam flour. So go for the best yam variety.

Making Yam Flour
Below is the five easy steps of pounded yam flour production and packaging.
STEP1 Wash the yam tubers properly, making sure that all sand and dirt are washed away.
STEP2 Peel the tubers and rewash properly.
STEP3 After peeling, grate it immediately using the grater.
STEP4 After grating, dry it using the drier or you can sundry for some days until properly dried.
STEP5 Mill the granules and sieve the powder, then package it in the branded nylon bags and seal properly.

How to Make Cassava Flour
Peel the cassava, wash and dry in the sun
Put dried cassava into mortar, and then mashed
Then sifter with a fine sieve
Mash the rest of the sifting once again, and sifter back until smooth
Dry the flour in the sun. If rain, the drying is done in a room with artificial heating, such as using stoves or oven.

Under optimal conditions (dry sunny weather for sun drying), the IITA technique enables small-scale primary processors to produce high quality unfermented cassava flour that meets the specifications of industrial users within one day.
Drying has been identified as the major tool for expanding processing of cassava into high quality cassava flour.
Various options have been considered so far in the cassava project at IITA.

Natural drying
Local processors expose cassava mash on a polythene sheet directly to the sun. This is referred to as “sun drying”. The project observed that drying at rural or domestic levels cannot be done artificially because of the high capital investment in equipment and energy required and hence, natural sun drying is done.

Sun drying is beset by several inherent drawbacks, such as susceptibility to damage due to inclement weather, slow drying rates, and contamination. Because of these limitations and the high cost and low utilization of more efficient traditional dryers, the adoption of a modified sun drying process, solar drying, has been considered for drying HQCF in rural areas.

Artificial drying
If a controllable source of energy is used for drying operations, the process is referred to as artificial or mechanical drying. There is a further classification in which the air used for drying is heated, either by solar means or controlled means such as electricity, renewable fuels, or fossil fuels. These methods are referred to as hybrid drying.

Rotary dryer
IITA is building up a coalition of local fabricators to mass produce an already tested locally fabricated rotary dryer for use by the rural processors of high quality cassava flour. The dryer could be fired by charcoal or gas and rotated by a diesel engine. The dryer consists of an insulated drying chamber (drum-like). The dryer is cost effective and user friendly.

Flash dryer
IITA modified the design and fabrication of a locally fabricated flash dryer with Peak Products, Abeokuta, Nigeria. The flash dryer (3t/day capacity) is well insulated with the product contact surface made of stainless steel and a semiautomated feeder. It could be operated with combined kerosene/spent oil. The dryer is user friendly and will encourage greater cassava flour production.

Uses Of Cassava Flour

Food Industries
The food industries are one of the largest consumers of starch and starch products. In addition, large quantities of starch are sold in the form of products sold in small packages for household cooking. Cassava, sago and other tropical starches were extensively used for food prior to the Second World War, but their volume declined owing to the disruption of world trade caused by the war. Attempts were made to develop waxy maize as a replacement for normal noncereal starches; but the production of cassava starch has increased considerably in recent years.

Unmodified starch, modified starch and glucose are used in the food industry for one or more of the following purposes:
(a) directly as cooked starch food, custard and other forms;
(b) thickener using the paste properties of starch (soups, baby foods, sauces and gravies, etc.);
(c) filler contributing to the solid content of soups, pills and tablets and other pharmaceutical products, fee cream, etc.;
(d) binder, to consolidate the mass and prevent it from drying out during cooking (sausages and processed meats);
(e) stabilizer, owing to the high water-holding capacity of starch (e.g., in fee cream).

The Glucose Industry
According to Whistler and Paschell, Abu Mansur, an Arabian teacher and pharmacologist, about 975 A.D. described the conversion of starch with saliva into an artificial honey. In 1811 Kirchoff discovered that sugar could be produced by the acid hydrolysis of starch. Glucose, or dextrose sugar, is found in nature in sweet fruits such as grapes and in honey. It is less sweet than sucrose (cane or beet sugar) and also less soluble in water; however, when used in combination with sucrose, the resulting sweetness is often greater than expected.

The commercial manufacture of glucose sugars from starch began during the Napoleonic Wars with England, when suppliers of sucrose sugar were cut off from France by sea blockade. Rapid progress was made in its production in the United States about the middle of the nineteenth century.
At present, glucose is usually produced as a syrup or as a solid. The physical properties of the syrup vary with the dextrose equivalent (DE) and the method of manufacture. Dextrose equivalent is the total reducing sugars expressed as dextrose and calculated as a percentage of the total dry substance. Glucose is the common name for the syrup and dextrose for the solid sugar. Dextrose, sometimes called grape sugar, is the D-glucose produced by the complete hydrolysis of starch.
