...Banana Suit Journey! First of all I was going to ride in a hot air balloon but the price wasn’t worth it. So one day while I was in the shower my banana suit popped in my head. I have always wanted to do random things in my banana suit. One thing was to go to Baskin Robbins in my suit and ask for a banana split. So I figured I would let this project be the start of my banana journey! I didn’t have to talk myself into doing it. I’ve always liked doing random stupid stuff but haven’t had the time or reason to start the banana journey. As I got ready at my house I started to get an adrenaline rush of excitement! I was going to go through drive through but it would have been too hard to drive in the suit. Since that wouldn’t have worked, I walked in to ask. There were two families in there eating ice cream so before I walked in I was thinking ‘oh man I am really doing this’. I felt people staring at me and heard them laughing. There were two people working and they both gave me a (what the hell) look. I asked for a banana split and they laughed. The most awkward moment was standing there while he was making it because nobody said anything. They just all continued to stare. After he rang me up I had somebody take my picture with my banana split. Believe it or not, it was the first banana split I had ever had and it was good. When I got back in the car I was thinking ‘wow I really just did that’ and more ideas came to me. I didn’t feel stupid for doing it. I felt awesome for...

... I always imagine what happen in the movies is really happening in the real world. The most affective one was this scene where a guy threw his banana skin on the floor when he finished eating it. After a minute a passenger walked by, he steps on the banana skin while he was reading, then he lost his balance and fall down on the ground hard, where his head hits on a huge rock. He died when he was in the hospital. This scene makes me very uncomfortable when I eating banana. I always feel like very time I threw away a banana skin, I will kill a person on the street. At the same time when I see someone eating it or seeing a skin on the floor will also make me think that way. One day I realized its true. This is really happening in the real world. Banana has turn into an evil fruit. They try to revenge because we keep eating them. This will bring a big consequence to the world, because non-living thing started killing people for revenge, human population will start decreasing because we need the nutrients from the fruits, so people need to eat them it daily basic to keep sickness away from them, but at the same time they don’t know every time they finishing eat a banana, a person in the world will die. So in next ten years, human population will be decreasing on a big amount of portion. In end we will all die out because of banana skin....

...Shoe Polish out of Banana Peel extract An Investigative Project Presented to: Mr. Paul Keenan C. Butt At Philippine Women’s University Jose Abad Santos Edsa QC In Partial fulfilment of the research in Chemistry By: Gabrielle Balanon III-Newton March 2014 Abstract The product of my research is a shoe polish made out of Banana peel extract. Tannin, an astringent that is an important ingredient in the process of tanning leather, can be found in Banana peels. This makes it an efficient ingredient for making shoe polish. I also decided to use Banana peels because there is a significant amount of banana peel waste being generated all around the world, so instead of just throwing them away and letting them rot, it’s better to put them to good use. The materials and ingredients needed for my research are very easy to get a hold of and doesn’t cost much as well. The process of making the product won’t take long either. It is a very affordable and effective product. It goes to show that Banana peels are more than just a part of the classic physical comedy slapstick visual gag, the "slipping on a banana peel" because it can actually make your shoes shine. Acknowledgement In the making of this research, I have a number of people who I would like to acknowledge for their unending patience and their big help. Firstly, I would like to acknowledge my parents. For all the patience they have given me. They have put in the effort of...

...people as much as I can, being able to translate that passion into a reality at the Houston Foodbank was a memorable experience for me. The activities of the day started at 8:00 am with registration and a welcome address from the staff at the Foodbank. After the address, the group was split into two subgroups, people with blue tags and those with orange tags. I was part of the group with the blue tags. One of the leaders took us into a sorting room where we had to separate and sort items from big boxes into smaller banana boxes. The items range from cereal to drugs to toys and other household products. Items such as water, soda and items that were too big to go into the banana boxes were placed into different boxes. Once a banana box has been filled, it is covered and carried to the packaging unit for proper packing and storing. We did this for about an hour until one of the leaders pulled the UHD students out of the room as it was getting too crowded. The UHD students were then moved to a separate unit where we had to further group the items packed into banana boxes into different categories which includes non-food products, drugs, condiments and soda, dry foods and snacks. Expired food items were placed into a separate container to avoid giving them out. We worked in this unit until the end of the period. Working at the Houston Foodbank taught me a number of things. Firstly, I got the opportunity to work effectively with people from different places and backgrounds to complete...

...is about bananas; genetically modified bananas to be specific. The bananas will be used in human trails to see their effects on us. Biology news.net claims that this is the first time such a trial will be conducted on humans. The reason why this trail is being conducted is to nourish, lift the wellbeing and health of millions of east Africans. In east Africa the banana is a staple of their cuisine, unfortunately the banana lacks the micronutrient vitamin A and iron. As distinguished professor James Dale, leader of the Queensland University of Technology project puts it “The consequences of vitamin A deficiency are dire with 650,000-700,000 children world-wide dying from pro-vitamin A deficiency each year and at least another 300,000 going blind.” It seems Professor Dale is doing his part to end world hunger. These bananas which have been planted in Australia will be shipped to the U.S. for the first human trail. The bananas look just like any other banana from the outside but inside they are orange because of all the vitamin A . There are already test fields being planted in Uganda after DR. Dale claims that “"Hundreds of different permutations went into field trials up north and we tested everything to make sure our science worked here in Queensland. Now the really high-performing genes have been taken to Uganda and have been put into field trials there." The bananas that are high performing will then be planted in several locations and the hope is to get these bananas planted...

...act of viewing the leaked data of the competitors would give Bananas! a great advantage in the industry. Which in the business world, isn’t viewed as such a terrible thing. Actually using the data would be very useful to Bananas! as well. Any company who is behind in any industry is going to be looking for anyway to get ahead. The fact that none of the information they will be using is illegal is just another incentive to go ahead and use the data for their own advantage. On the other hand, there is the deontological theory. This theory applies to a more personal level. Jennifer could feel guilt about using the data, knowing that the competitors do not know about the leak of their data. The universal rule would be to tell the competitors about this, and let them get their data protected. Of course, she wouldn’t let her employees use the information either. Even though there is no law saying Jennifer’s company couldn’t look at the data, the ethics behind it would be violated. It is like finding someone’s money they dropped, you could take it but you know the right thing to do is give it back. It is a matter of is Jennifer wants to put her company first, or her morals. 2. The resolution chosen would affect both Bananas!, and their competitors. Bananas! would be able to gain a big advantage in the industry. They would be able to have the newest features, and they could put them at a lower price. Bananas! would also be able to gain a lot of their customers back,...

...conversation between his parents he finally makes up his mind. The main character is called Alex. He is a young boy, whose age isn’t mentioned in the short story. Though, it seems like he is a boy at the age between ten and twelve as his mother makes sure he does his homework and afterwards checks his homework. Mentally he seems like he is in the stage between being a child or a teenager. In that stage you want to be more mature and responsible like an adult, but at the same time you stick to the known and don’t wish for changes. This is seen in Alex’s behaviour as he isn’t ready to give up his banana sandwiches even though he thinks he is too old for them. "Maybe he was getting too old for banana sandwiches. He thought about saying that he didn't want to eat them anymore. But he liked them …" (Page 2 line 49-51). Then Alex debates whether he should be more grown up, stop eating those childish banana sandwiches and leave his childhood behind or if he just should be a child and grow up when he is ready. Later on he finally comes to the conclusion that it might be time for him to grow up as he witnesses a conversation between his parents as he hides under their bed. The text gives a hint that says that the relationship between Alex's parents used to be good, but now it is slightly dysfunctional and falling apart. The mother gives her outmost to attract the fathers’ attention, but he has all of his focus on his career. The romance in their relationship is completely dead, as the father...

...By Mashell Chapeyama Uopeople What ways has globalization not worked Globalization has not worked in a number of ways. One reason is how the rules evolved due to globalization. Most of the rules favour developed countries. They leave the poorer countries worse off. Globalization has increased a lot of imbalances. For example instead of funds moving from richer countries to poorer ones the reverse is true. A lot of resources are moving from poor countries to richer ones. There has also been an imbalance on investment in technology. Technology advanced in rich countries. In poorer off countries technology has lagged behind, meaning that richer countries would benefit. Debts of poor countries are a sign that globalization has failed to work. Poor countries get short term loans. The rich countries peg the moneys in hard currency such as GBP or USA$. So when countries accrued interest payable, it is too big if translated into domestic currencies. This means that poor countries get poorer, yet richer countries become even richer. What are the principal causes? The real causes of such imbalances and problems are many. One problem is that of ideas promulgated by IMF and World Bank, through their policies. They give policies that are “one size fit all type.” This means that some countries cannot afford those measures. One underlying issue is that economic globalization has fast-paced political globalization. Economic globalization requires countries to integrate and be interdependent...

...grandmother used to make these often and it is my father’s favourite meryenda. When I first saw a Boboto, I was hesitant to try it since it looked weird for me. But when I tried it, oh, I can’t stop eating. However, this dish requires some work. First, the rice would have to be roasted until golden brown and then ground. It will then be sautéed in garlic and onion. The thick coconut milk will then be poured and salt and pepper would be added. It would have to be continuously mixed until to prevent the mixture from sticking to the pan. It will be mixed until it looks completely smooth. The mixture would be poured on a heated banana leaf and then topped with shrimps, pork and egg. It would be wrapped and steamed for twenty minutes and then it’s ready to be eaten. This recipe really brings back a lot of memories from my childhood, especially when my father would enter the room, with a plate on one hand. On the plate rests a boboto still wrapped in banana leaves. He would then look at me and grin as he slowly unties the strings holding the banana leaves. As he completely opens the boboto, he closes his eyes, savouring the aroma it releases. A hint of pepper and coconut milk enters my nose and my mind began to tell me that I was hungry. He looks again as if enticing me to join him, then he brings out two forks and hands one to me. At last, I give in and sit beside him as we are about to relish the delicious-looking snack. On top of the smooth white mixture of coconut milk and roasted...

...International business is wrought with ethical issues. The Chiquita Banana documentary, “The Price of Bananas,” made this point ever more apparent. I fully believe, as stated in the documentary that Chiquita Bananas was complicit and was willing to accept death to keep the banana operation running. Anyone involved in this decision should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. My first thoughts about this situation and putting myself in the position of Chiquita CEO, I would utilize the Weber model of organizational ethics and/or the Army-Baylor 7 step method for decision making. The first question or principle in the Weber method is the organizational interests take precedence over individual self-interest. I would say the CEO rationalized his decision and thought he was doing this. And given the situation, I do not necessarily think the CEO was making a decision to pay the AUC in a motivation of self-interest. The second principle is individual rights take precedence over organizational interests. This can get a little sticky given Chiquita decided to pay para-military troops millions of dollars. If individual rights were of great concern to the CEO, he probably should have made sure his workers and the working conditions were safe, secure, and healthy. Instead, farming bananas in Columbia is one of the most profitable means because of low income earning. The third principle is community good takes precedence over organizational interests. If the...
