Hanuman (/ˈhʌnʊˌmɑːn/; Sanskrit: हनुमान्, IAST: Hanumān), also called Anjaneya (Sanskrit: आञ्जनेय), is a Hindu god and a divine vanara companion of the god Rama. Hanuman is one of the central characters of the Hindu epic Ramayana. He is an ardent devotee of Rama and one of the Chiranjivis. Hanuman is regarded to be the son of the wind-god Vayu, who in several stories played a direct role in Hanuman's birth, and considered to be an incarnation or son of Shiva in Shaivism. Hanuman is mentioned in several other texts, such as the epic Mahabharata and the various Puranas.
Well @Kathryn Barr's black bananas (qv) actually made some pretty good #chocolate chip-banana #muffins. Even though the bananas baked up like tasteless cardboard, they were fine in the muffins. Lesson learned: don't buy green #bananas as sometimes they just stay green and never ripen.

Variegated bananas, botanically classified as Musa paradisiaca, are a very rare variety belonging to the Musaceae family. Also known as the Dwarf Hawaiian Variegated banana and A’e A’e, Koa’e, and Manini in Hawaii, Variegated banana plants have unique, variegated striping over the leaves and fruits which is the result of a genetic mutation that causes pigmentation loss. The Variegated banana variety is considered to be one of the most challenging banana plants to cultivate and requires a delicate balance of humidity, nutrients, and shade mixed with an extended growing time. Variegated banana plants are highly ornamental for home gardens, and the fruits exhibit qualities of both a cooking and dessert banana, which is unusual to find in one cultivar.

AGENDA CM& "El camino del yipao"
El Desfile del Yipao del Quindio, un Desfile Único sobre RuedasEl desfile del Yipao en el Quindío es una celebración muy típica de Colombia. Vea aquí información, fotos y videos sobre este evento
The Yipao or Jeep parade is folkloric celebration in the Colombian department of Quindío, specially during the anniversary parties of the departmental capital Armenia.
Jeep-Willys history in Colombia
The first Jeeps (M38 or CJ-2A models) arrived to Colombia in 1946 for military purposes. They were imported by the Colombian Ministry of Defense and soon became very popular among Colombian coffee farmers who saw in this vehicle the needed qualities for the difficult roads in the mountainous region of the country. Besides the transportation of coffee, Jeeps are used to transport many other agricultural products, as well as country workers to places previously accessible only to pack animals. Due to this quality, the Jeeps are also known locally in Spanish: "mulitas mecánicas"(or mechanical mules).
Many families in the Paisa region and Colombian Coffee-Growers Axis own Jeep vehicles, which have become a beloved symbol of the coffee culture. Often the Jeeps have many ornaments, icons, and flashy accessories, in a kitsch style.
The Yipao parade is celebrated during anniversary parties both in Armenia, Quindío and Calarcá, Quindío. The first edition of the parade was organized by Mrs Joan Jaramillo, headmistress of protocol of the Quindio Governor's office in 1988. The event has several categories separated according to the products carried in the vehicles:
- Agricultural products
- Coffee
- Furniture
- People
- Institutional advertisement
The vehicles are driven by the main streets of the city and the Jeeps with the largest number of objects carried and the most harmonious arrangements earn prizes.
In February 2006, a Guinness World Records was established for the "Longest Jeep Parade" in Calarca, with a caravan of over 370 Jeep Willys vehicles.
