Look for firm, crisp, well-colored apples. They
may have a shriveled appearance after being held in storage. Avoid overripe
apples, they yield to slight pressure on the skin, and have soft, mealy flesh.
Grapefruit
Look for firm fruits, which are heavy for their
size. Thin-skinned fruits have more juice than coarse-skinned ones. If a
grapefruit is pointed at the stem end, it is likely to be thick-skinned. Rough,
ridged, or wrinkled skin can also be an indication of thick skin, pulpiness,
and lack of juice.
Kiwifruit
Avoid kiwi that show signs of shriveling, mold,
or excessive softening, all of which indicate spoilage. Look for plump,
unwrinkled fruit, either firm or slightly yielding. Kiwifruit is fully ripe
when it is yielding to the touch but not soft. Firm kiwifruit can be ripened at
home in a few days by leaving it at room temperature.
Lemons
Look for lemons with a rich yellow color,
reasonably smooth-textured skin with a slight gloss, and those, which are firm
and heavy. A pale or greenish-yellow color indicates very fresh fruit with
slightly higher acidity. Coarse or rough skin texture is a sign of thick skin
and not much flesh.
Cantaloupes
A cantaloupe might be mature, but not ripe. A
ripe cantaloupe will have a yellowish cast to the rind, a pleasant aroma, and
yield slightly to light thumb pressure on the blossom end of the melon.

Watermelons
Judging the quality of a watermelon is very
difficult unless it is cut in half or quartered. The watermelon surface should
be relatively smooth. The ends of the melon should be filled out and rounded;
and the underside of the melon should have a yellowish color and slightly flat.
A flat underside usually means the watermelon ripped on the ground instead of
in transit to the store.

Kuffel Creek Apple Nursery is located in Uganda Africa explains growing apples in Africa as "It is a shock to many people that yes, apples can be grown in a tropical climate, and have been grown by the millions for decades."
Eastern
coasts of Caribbean, United States, and South America, are in danger of being blasted
by hurricanes wind and rain during hurricane season from June through November. But,
why?
The scientific reason why is because of Africa’s
Sahara desert dust storms and the transition of thunderstorms off the west coast
of Africa. The waters in the North Atlantic Ocean are typically at their
warmest while the Sahara is at its hottest from July through October, so the
chances of a hurricane are highest during these months. Hurricanes
are gigantic weather systems using convection, the movement of hot and cold
air, to create dangerous storms. They are rotating heat engines powered by the
warmth of tropical waters having three main parts, the eye, the eyewall, and
rainbands.
Hurricanes cannot form just anywhere in the world due to the need
for hot and humid air. They normally form close to the equator and move west or
northwest. Hurricane Alley is a stretch of warm water through the Atlantic

Survival of the Fattest Meaning The copper statue Survival of the Fattest by Jens Galschiøt and Lars Calmar was created in 2002. The fat woman is holding a pair of scales as a symbol of justice however; she is
closing her eyes so the justice. Galschiot symbolized the woman as being blind, refusing to see the obvious
injustice. For the rich people of the world the main issue in life is that of overeating while people in the third world are dying every day from
