...Henry Collins MKTG 445 2/6/14 Super Foods: Camu Camu in Peru 1) “A food or ingredient that has not been used for consumption by humans in the European union before 1997” is how a Novel Food is defined. Camu Camu falls into this category. To me this seems slightly silly. Regardless, there are options available for the Camu Camu fruit to be used alternatively. As stated in the case, in addition to some research I have done online, Camu Camu can be used as a Superfood Powder. This is considered Category B – “a special benefit able to be obtained through the controlled consumption of certain substances in foodstuffs (Council Directive 2009). An example of this is Swisse Beauty Superfood Powder. That being said, one option for an alternative use of Camu Camu is classifying as a Nutritional Supplement. Additionally, Camu Camu could be used as a cosmetic product. (Safety assessments and composition reports need to be presented in order to gain approval). For example, there are many cosmetic lines based around vitamin C. Camu Camu contains up to 30 times more vitamin C than an orange does. I understand that these regulations are in order to insure the safety of the consumer and also the regions where the fruit is from (i.e. deforestation). We should be taking advantage of these super foods, and if we approach the situation with concern then I can’t see anything bad happening. To put things into perspective, it cannot really get much worse than what we are doing...

...En 1994 un grupo de empresarios peruanos adquirió el Banco Internacional del Perú, con la visión de convertirlo en una entidad financiera líder en banca personal, al servicio del todos los peruanos. Este sólido grupo empresarial peruano está marcando la diferencia en rubros tan diversos como supermercados, con Plaza Vea, Vivanda, Mass y Economax, seguros de vida y accidentes con Interseguro, hotelería con Casa Andina y entretenimiento con CinePlanet, la cadena más importante de comida rápida en Perú, Bembos y en farmacias, la recientemente adquirida Inkafarma, entre otros. SPSA, inició sus operaciones con el nombre de Supermercados Santa Isabel S.A. en 1993. La cadena creció durante la década de los noventa mediante la adquisición de las cadenas Mass y Top Market, y el arrendamiento del supermercado San Jorge. Gracias a estas adquisiciones, Santa Isabel se consolidó como la segunda cadena de supermercados en el Perú. En 1998, el grupo Holandés Royal Ahold, tercer minorista del mundo, se convirtió en copropietario de Santa Isabel, y fue incrementando su participación hasta asumir el control total de la empresa en mayo del 2002. Bajo la administración de Ahold, la empresa lanzó exitosamente el formato de hipermercados Plaza Vea. A inicios del año 2003, Ahold tomó la decisión de vender sus operaciones en Sudamérica. El 11 de diciembre de 2003, el grupo financiero Interbank adquirió la totalidad de las acciones de Supermercados Santa Isabel, brindando a la empresa el respaldo...

...Psych 18 The origin of the well-known fried rice is from China going back since 4000 B.C. After some time nomads spread it to Southeast Asia such as Indonesia and Malaysia creating variant types of fried rice. Typically Chinese people do not eat fried rice they prefer white rice, steamed and no salt. They actually love that instead. They will have different dishes with well-seasoned meat, chicken, seafood and will always have white rice on the side. So where does fried rice come in place? Fried rice is not a main meal in China it is hardly eaten in restaurants like it is here. There are also variations of fried rice and other countries have learned to create their own fried rice. Usually countries with immigrating Chinese people have adapted to their style of cooking therefore have learned to make the infamous fried rice. China is a country which back in the day had different rankings in social class. This is where Fried rice was born. There were the peasants who would work in the fields for long hours a day, would be exhausted, and not make much money to feed their families. But there were a few things they always had such as leftover rice, soy and a few leftover vegetables. The mothers would cook these all together so there family would have something to eat and it also created bigger portions so there would be enough for everyone. Fried rice was peasant food and it was not common for higher class Chinese people to eat it because they could afford to...

... He had two older sisters and a brother: María Antonia, Juana and Juan Vicente. There was another girl, María del Carmen, who died at birth. Before he was three years old, Simón lost his father, who passed away in January of 1786. He played an important role in the liberation of a large part of South America from Spanish rule in the 19th century. On his visit to Europe, Bolivar got the opportunity to witness the coronation of Napoleon. This incident sparked the idea of revolution in his mind, so on returning home, he joined the Venezuelan revolution. He was barely in his 20s then. His victory spree came to an abrupt halt, when his forces were defeated by the Royalist army in 1815, and he was exiled to Jamaica. Eventually, a victory in Peru in 1824, led to the end of Spanish rule in the continent, making Bolivar a powerful force in Latin America.

...Globalization is a series of social, economical, technological, cultural, and political changes that promote interdependence and growth. Globalization raises the standard of living in developing countries, spreads technological knowledge, and increases political liberation. (Harris 5-23) The main cause of globalization is influence from other, more developed, countries. Globalization is a historical process that results from human innovation and technological progress. The social effects of globalization are clearly illustrated in Peru. Once a third-world country filled with poverty and oppression, Peru is now transitioning into a developed nation. In Peru, globalization has raised the human development index, empowered women, and created a stronger country. (Leon 90-91) One of the benefits of globalization on a social level is an increased Human Development Index. The Human Development Index is a measurement of a country's social, political, and economical growth in comparison to other countries in the world. The Human Development Index rates each country with a score between 0 and 1, with 1 being the most advanced, globalized country. Factors that are involved in determining a country's HDI are gross domestic production per capita, life expectancy at birth, adult literary, and the number of persons enrolled in educational institutions. In 1975, Peru's Human Development Index was a 0.643. By 2003, the Human Development Index had risen more than one tenth to 0.762. The substantial...

...Essay about Peru (Final Version) By: John Warren Professor: Dr. Smith ENG 090 November, 13, 2012 Peru I was born in Peru; I lived there when I was a kid, I enjoyed living in this beautiful country; the life is very different than it is in United States, people are happier and closer than Americans. Other thing that I like is the night life; Peruvians like to dance salsa, you will see a lot of people in the night clubs every weekend. One of my favorite places is The Pizza Street (la calle de las pizzas); at this place you will find the perfect combination of restaurants and night clubs. Anytime I go to Peru, my friends and I always go to parties and have fun, I would like to go back to live, it’s a lot of jobs for bilingual people, things are not too expensive, and the economy is very stable now. In Lima there is a lot of Chinese food which is called chifa (several thousand Chinese restaurants in Lima) which is not the typical Chinese restaurants that we have in America, and fast food restaurants from around the world. In Lima we eat a lot of fish and rice. In the mountains they eat a lot of potatoes. In Cuzco they eat cuy (fried guinea pig) but that is not common in Lima. The Supermarkets are pretty wow, with everything you can imagine, and most things they have for tasting, including the alcohol. Still, there are no flavored chips, for some reason, Peru has not picked up the idea of flavored potato chips, which really is beyond me. But, the chocolate is good. Clothes...

...* The Peruvian government seeks to attract investment -- both foreign and domestic -- in nearly all sectors of the economy. The Peruvian Minister of Economy and Finance announced at a January 2012 international investment fair that Peru seeks $50 billion in foreign investment within the next three years. * In 1991, the Peruvian government began an extensive privatization program, encouraging foreign investors to participate. From 1991 through September 2005, privatization revenues totaled $9.4 billion, of which foreign investors were responsible for the vast majority. * The Peruvian government does not screen foreign direct investment nor does it require foreign investors to register their investments. * Foreign investors have the same rights as national investors to benefit from any investment incentives, such as tax exemptions. And Foreign investment does not require prior approval, except in banking and defense-related industries. But Foreign investors are advised to register with ProInversion to obtain the guarantee that they will be able to repatriate capital, profits, and royalties. * Some laws require that Peruvians own a majority share in companies operating in certain sectors: media, air and land transportation, and private security surveillance services. * In addition, under the Constitution, foreign interests cannot "acquire or possess under any title, mines, lands, forests, waters, or fuel or energy sources" within 50 kilometers of Peru's international borders...

...on terror that Peru was faced with. The living standards and right of Peruvians were very poor in particular regions of the country, and democracy seemed non-existent. The need to gain political power within the Peruvian region seemed to be the primary factor causing corruption and terror to thousands of people, and I will be discussing the relationship between democracy and security. The levels of human rights and social conditions were at an all-time low in the 1980’s as powerful regimes brainwashed Peru’s citizens as to what changes needed to be made for the country. We start the discussion of the documentary in Peru, where living conditions were extremely harsh for a majority of its inhabitants. A man named Abimael Guzman was the leader of a terrorist organization named the shining path. The ideology of Guzaman was to increase the living conditions of Peru’s poor members of society by recruiting an army to use violence against the Peruvian government to change the way of life. The problem was faced here was that Guzman was a very powerful leader, and gained enough hype throughout regions of Peru for its citizens to start a revolution. The Peruvian government was very corrupt at the time and the shining path used guerrilla warfare tactics to cause chaos in Peru. This all began because the Peruvian government was an incomplete democracy that ignored human rights of Peruvians. The upper-class white Peruvians controlled all of the money and education in Peru while limiting the...

...Peru: are we entering in a new crisis? by Marco Morante Monday September 23rd, 2013 Last month newspapers’ headlines were talking about a statement made by Ollanta Humala to the media: “The crisis has arrived, but we have a solid economy”; indeed there is a global crisis going on and indeed the Peruvian economy growth’s expectation is not the very same as in just a few months ago; but, is Peru about to enter in another crisis as the ones suffered in past years? Disregarding the several replies, opinions and views of the message that our president really intended to give, let us remember Peru’s past crisis and understand the economic frame in which these crisis developed. A little bit of Peruvian’s Recent Crisis History1 In the early 80’s, during Fernando Belaúnde’s government, “El Niño” phenomenon affected severely the northern coast of Peru, impacting mainly in the agricultural sector (consumption), the public and private investment suffered an important contraction, also the external demand was affected due to the crisis generated by the adjustments of the debt in México (having a deep effect in all economies in Latin America). In year 1983, the metal prices fall meant for Peru difficulties for the payment of the external debt and a high increase in inflation, reaching a concerning 163% inflation for the last year of the “Sol” (1985). Also, in this year the economy suffered a contraction in the GdP growth: a decrease of 9.3%, the largest one until that moment in the...

...illustrates the escalating violence in Peru and how the fear of terrorism damaged democracy. The specific events exploit Peru being a dictatorship where official corruption replaced the rule of law. The terrorist attacks by the Shining Path insurgents provoke many issues for the government. Inevitably, the most important factor of the rise, consolidation and the fall of the guerilla terrorist group is the Communist Party of Peru-The Shining Path during the 1970s through the 1990s. During the 1960s, Abimael Guzman initially founded the Shining Path. Guzman was a professor of philosophy at San Cristobal of Huamanga University in Ayacucho, which is a small city in the southern Peruvian Andes. Influenced by Maoism, Marxism and Lenninism, Guzman traveled to China to further develop and expand his ideologies for change. Guzman believed that the subjugated class was the key element to help the society to prosper. The ideology of Guzman was to increase the living conditions of Peru’s poor members of society. He ultimately recruited an army to use violence against the Peruvian government to change their way of life. At the time, the Peruvian government was very corrupt. The government was a subpar democracy that neglected human rights of Peruvians. The upper class Peruvians possessed most of the money and education in Peru. It was clear that the current system of capitalism and feudalism was not efficient. Since some indigenous places outside of Peru have been excluded and discriminated...

...Caral - A Complexity State in Peru A long time ago, there are a lot of complexity states all around world, especially in Peru, and all of them had many things in common. Today, I will write about one of these complexity states which reflected the same states in Peru - Caral. It is a society which had no agriculture or pottery but it still develop well by trading. Trade helps the people in a state survive better in a society. Caral is a society two hundred far away from the South Pacific Ocean but the people in Caral still can eat the fish from the South Pacific Ocean. Since the people of Caral made a big innovation about planting cotton by using the irrigation, the people in Caral used cotton nets for the fishermen who sent fish as payment. The exchange between fishes and cotton nets clearly shows that Caral engaged in trade. And this trade helps Caral develop better and better. This situation not only happens in Caral. In ancient China, there is not any transportation between towns, so it is not easy for the development of trade. Due to the restriction of trade, ancient Chinese people have a long time life of self-sufficiency. And this is also a reason why ancient China is an agriculture country. However, after Tang Dynasty, the emperor began to improve the transportation and technology such as shipbuilding greatly developed the trade. And China became more and more powerful until Qing Dynasty. Therefore, trading is a good way to develop both society and people's...

...1. Was Falabella prepared for internationalization in 1991? (Justify your response with the readings). “Falabella’s aim is to become the leading retail operator in Latin America, both in terms of presence as well as financial results, combing world-class management quality with commitment to local communities” At that time Chile had a relatively mature and saturated market, so Falabella decided to expand and open their first store in Mendoza, Argentina. As a Chilean company which had been in the market for more than a century, they understood the local market very well and had a value proposition based on local preferences. Falabella knew how to create value for Chileans and thought it would work the same way in Argentina, due to previous experiences with tourists buying in department stores and decided to replicate the same proposition, assuming there would be similar preferences and consumer tastes in both countries. Falabella was not prepared for internationalization and confronted a completely different environment than the one in Chile. Legal norms, difficulties of importing, consumer preferences and shopping habits turned out to be totally different and were not understood before they decided to internationalize and resulted in lower sales than the expected. Falabella didn’t fully understand the Argentine culture and the importance of the European influence and heritage on their culture. Exclusivity was the most important thing at the time of selecting and buying their...

Mount Pinatubo is a Stratovolcano. Stratovolcanoes are towering coned peaks that is made from one layer of hardened magma, volcano ash and tephra. It erupts routinely. When it erupts, most of the lava oozes out of the volcano and cools into acidic rocks before reaching the bottom of the volcano. These acidic rocks commonly transform into Andesite or Basalt. The average height of stratovolcanoes exceed above 2,500 meters, indicating that Mount Pinatubo, with an elevation of 1,486 meters, is fairly miniature...
