The cashew tree is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew nut and the cashew apple. It can grow as high as 14 m (46 ft), but the dwarf cashew, growing up to 6 m (20 ft), has proved more profitable, with earlier maturity and higher yields.
The cashew nut, often simply called a cashew, is widely consumed. It is eaten on its own, used in recipes, or processed into cashew cheese or cashew butter. The shell of the cashew seed yields derivatives that can be used in many applications from lubricants to paints. The cashew apple is a light reddish to yellow fruit, whose pulp can be processed into a sweet, astringent fruit drink or distilled into liquor.
The species is originally native to northeastern Brazil. Major production of cashews occurs in Vietnam, Nigeria, India, and Ivory Coast.
De cashewboom is een tropische groenblijvende boom die de cashewnoot en de cashewappel voortbrengt. Hij kan wel 14 m hoog worden, maar de dwergcashew, die tot 6 m groeit, is meer winstgevend gebleken, met een eerdere rijpheid en hogere opbrengsten.
De cashewnoot, vaak simpelweg cashewnoten genoemd, wordt veel geconsumeerd. Het wordt op zichzelf gegeten, gebruikt in recepten of verwerkt tot cashewkaas of cashewboter. De schil van het cashewnotenzaad levert derivaten op die in veel toepassingen kunnen worden gebruikt, van smeermiddelen tot verven. De cashewappel is een licht roodachtige tot gele vrucht waarvan het vruchtvlees kan worden verwerkt tot een zoete, adstringerende fruitdrank of kan worden gedestilleerd tot likeur.
De soort komt oorspronkelijk uit het noordoosten van Brazilië. De belangrijkste productie van cashewnoten vindt plaats in Vietnam, Nigeria, India en Ivoorkust.
Es también conocido como cajú, anacardo, nuez de la india, castaña de cajú, marañón, caguil o merey es un árbol originario de la región amazónica del nordeste de Brasil y casi toda Venezuela. Muchos de sus componentes son utilizados en la elaboración de productos diversos, como por ejemplo dulces, cosméticos y medicamentos.
O caju é muitas vezes tido como o fruto do cajueiro quando, na verdade, trata-se de um pseudofruto.
O que entendemos popularmente como "caju" se constitui de duas partes: o fruto propriamente dito, que é a castanha; e seu pedúnculo floral, o pseudofruto, um corpo piriforme, amarelo, rosado ou vermelho.
Na língua tupi, acaiu (caju) significa noz que se produz.
Na tradição oral sabe-se que acayu ou aca-iu refere-se a ano, uma vez que os indígenas contavam a idade a cada floração e safra.
O pseudofruto e fruto
Cajueiro frutificando no município de Cascavel, no Ceará, um dos grandes produtores de caju no estado
O caju, o pseudofruto, é suculento e rico em vitamina C e ferro. Depois do beneficiamento do caju, preparam-se sucos, mel, doces, como cajuada, caju passas, rapadura de caju. Como seu suco fermenta rapidamente, pode ser destilado para produzir uma aguardente o cauim. Dele também são fabricadas bebidas não alcoólicas, como a cajuína.
Muito antes do descobrimento do Brasil e antes da chegada dos portugueses, o caju já era alimento básico das populações autóctones. Por exemplo: os tremembé já fermentavam o suco do caju, o mocororó, que era e é bebido na cerimônia do Torém.
Existe uma variedade enorme de pratos feitos com o caju e com a castanha de caju.
De suas fibras (resíduo/bagaço), ricas em aminoácidos e vitaminas, misturadas com temperos, é feita a "carne de caju"

Along the Amazon River, I became lucky enough to visit the small community called Santa Maria Fatima several times. Each time, after the first time I have been welcomed like a long time friend. Each time these people filled my heart. During the rainy season, the Amazon overflows right into their little village and the kids (my favorites) make the absolute best of it. This pic is an example

Vor den ganzen Fakten: Die Firma die dieses Schiff betreibt bzw betreiben wollte ist inzwischen in Insolvenz. Als Grund dafür wird angegeben das der Ölpreis dauerhaft sehr niedrig ist. Daher steht dieses Schiff zum Verkauf und ist unter umständen noch länger in Bremerhaven zu bewundern. Die Ceona Amazon ist ein kombinierter Rohr-Kabelleger für die britische Firma Ceona Services und wurde von der Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven Ende 2014 abgeliefert. Die spezielle Decksausrüstungen zum Rohrlegen wurde beim niederländischen Unternehmen Huisman installiert.Das Spezialschiff ist mit speziellen Einrichtungen zur Verlegung von Rohrleitungen ausgestattet, unter Deck können rund 5500 t und an Deck etwa 3000 t an Rohrmaterial gestaut werden. Im Vorschiff befindet sich ein Hubschrauberlandeplatz, außerdem gehören zwei ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicles) zur Ausstattung, die bis in Tiefen von 3000 m arbeiten können. Der dazugehörige Moon Pool mißt 8 × 13,5 m. Weiterhin sind zwei seegangkompensierte 400-Tonnen-Schwerlastkräne vorhanden, die durch einen 30-Tonnen-Knickarm-Kran ergänzt werden. Sie dienen sowohl zum Umschlag, zur Rohrverlegung, als auch zur Installation großer Unterwasseranlagen bis in Wassertiefen von 3.000 Metern. Ein Kongsberg-DP-System steuert die verschiedenen Propulsionsorgane an und sorgt für die dynamische Positionierung beim Rohrlegen und den Offshore-Kranarbeiten. Zum Krängungsausgleich dient ein Antiheelingsystem von Hoppe mit 3 × 1700 m³/h. Zur Trinkwassererzeugung wurde eine Umkehrosmose-Anlage mit 2 × 50 m³/Tag installiert und die Ballastwasser-Aufbereitungsanlage von MMC hat eine Kapazität von 300 m³/h.
I wasn’t going to get another Steve Trevor doll but I saw him on Amazon for $17 which was a pretty good price for one working doll. The seller took longer than expected to ship out so I’ve been waiting to swap parts around so I didn’t take any before pics.
Anyway, as you know, swapping his legs with Wonder Woman was super easy, but I really like Steve’s head on the Batman body so they swapped heads.
I’m a bit annoyed he came with an eyebrow rub but I can fix that.
But hey, welcome my twins Steve and Trevor.
The third installment in mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration: Destruction.
There are many threats to the Amazon forest, one of them being small illegal gold mines that both destroys and poisons the forest by ruining the soil and dumping mercury waste. This build portrays such a mine.
This is a more somber theme than the previous two, as is the intention. Colors are more muted, with more olive and dark green. The dark tan ground is mostly exposed with vegetation struggling.
The whole setup is very makeshift and temporary, and nothing here is made to last. People are here to get what they can and then move on, giving no care to what state they leave things in. I tried to portray this by making things rather messy and cluttered.
One of the things I was pondering for a while was the inclusion of minifigs in the build. I've had many interesting conversations on whether it would be wise to include them or not. It was important for the build that the issues were not trivialized by making it childish or less natural. With a medium that is often seen as a toy this can sometimes be tricky. For this purpose I went with flesh heads rather than yellow ones, and made sure to avoid any polarizing facial expressions, like the standard "bad guy" faces.
Though certainly not innocent, the workers are not the main culprits in this, but rather other people who are far away from what is actually happening, bear the biggest blame. Often these people who are the main cause of this are not even found in South America, but may reside in Europe, Asia or North America, and this was something that was unfortunately not possible to portray in this build.
When it comes to Lego techniques, much of the focus here was on the man-made parts, which I don't build that often. The nature is not really something new, but I do like the staggered wedge plates technique for a varied incline.
On his side, Bartu created some fantastic sounds, made by on his violin, mimicking the sounds of ongoing destruction of the forest.
Hope you like the build, and that you feel this issue has been properly portrayed.
The sloop AMAZON, with Cdr J E Hunter, was on her way from Spithead to Halifax, Nova Scotia. She was a new vessel just commissioned and was constructed of wood. Early on the morning of Tuesday, July 10th, 1866, the sloop was off Portland when she ran into the s.s. Osprey, Capt. Burtridge, of the Cork Steam Navigation Co., cutting her in two and causing her to sink in a few minutes with the loss of ten lives. The AMAZON sustained vital damage and her crew, after picking up 22 survivors from the Osprey, were ordered to take to the boats. Fortunately there was sufficient room for all on board and there were no casualties among the sloop´s complement. A court-martial was held on board H.M.S. Victory at Portsmouth under presidency of Rear Admiral George C. Wellesley, C.B. Evidence was placed befo re the Court to the effect that the sloop was under command of Sub. Lt. Alfred C. Loveridge at the time of the collision which took place about 1 a.m., the AMAZON striking the Osprey on the port quarter about one third of her length from the stern. The navigation lights on both vessels were burning brightly and the night was clear and calm. The steamship, which was under command of the first mate, sank within five minutes and the AMAZON sank at about 3.30 a.m., just as the weather was beginning to thicken. Sub. Lt. Loveridge was dismissed from the service, but recommended to the favorable consideration of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty "... on account of the high character given him for zeal in the

This is another large Kingfisher of tropical Central and South America. It closely resembles the smaller Green Kingfisher and can be difficult to separate them. Amazon is usually distinguished by the lack of white spots on its flight feathers (not visible here) but confusingly, Amazon juveniles have white wing spots. Amazon Kingfisher is 28cm long while Green Kingfisher is 19cm long, but Amazon is three or four times heavier. Amazons are occasional wanderers as far north as the US (where Green occurs) and I understand there is one in Texas at the moment that is attracting lots of attention. This is a female, which lacks an orange breast band photographed in Brazil's Pantanal. Its scientific name Chloroceryle amazona literally translates as Amazon Green Kingfisher (or Green Kingfisher of the Amazon).
