WELCOME TO TRAVELERS SUNSET AFFAIR: MAGNIFICENT MIGRATIONS COMO FRIENDS' ANNUAL SUMMER BENEFIT FOR COMO PARK ZOO AND CONSERVATORY 1 WELCOME TO TRAVELERS SUNSET AFFAIR: MAGNIFICENT MIGRATIONS Dear Friends: We are thrilled to be the honorary co-chairs for Como Friends’ Travelers Sunset Affair: Magnificent Migrations. Como Park Zoo and Conservatory truly holds a special place in our lives and in our hearts. We both have fond memories of coming to Como as children and as our children were growing up we visited often—and now our grandchildren also love this treasure in our backyard. Como has come so far over the decades, moving away from the old cages and tortoise rides, toward cutting edge habitats like Polar Bear Odyssey and Gorilla Forest and interactive experiences like the Giraffe Feeding Station and Blooming Butterflies. Como Park Zoo and Conservatory is so much more than a zoo and botanical garden, it is an education destination, a community classroom for teaching sustainable and conservation practices, and most importantly, an inspiring gathering place where everyone is welcome, free of charge. Tonight, we encourage you to experience Como by attending the zoo keeper talks, visiting with the Nature Walk teen conservation volunteers, stopping by the interpretive stations, interacting with the animal ambassadors—and trekking to see our “Magnificent Migrators”: the reindeer, bison, polar bears, flamingos and butterflies. Your generous bids tonight for the nearly 300 silent auction items and gifts toward our Fund-a-Need requests will support pressing priorities at Como. Whether you help to buy the sweet corn that the Como Zoo’s bison love to browse, or contribute toward the restoration of the gorgeous Charlotte Partridge Ordway Japanese Garden, or invest in preserving Sparky’s legacy, a contribution of any size can make a big difference at Como, a true jewel in our community. Owned by all, enjoyed by all, and free to all, there are few places like Como Park Zoo and Conservatory anywhere else. Your contributions help Como to thrive and to continue its legacy so that future generations can enjoy just as we have. Thank you!

  • Total Anthocyanin Content in Blue Corn Cookies As Affected by the Various Acids and Oven Types
    TOTAL ANTHOCYANIN CONTENT IN BLUE CORN COOKIES AS AFFECTED BY INGREDIENTS AND OVEN TYPES by JIAN LI B.S., Northeast Agriculture University, P.R. China, 1997 M.S., Kansas State University, USA, 2003 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Grain Science and Industry College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2009 Abstract Anthocyanins, a group of pink to purple water-soluble flavonoids, are well known as naturally occurring pigments credited with numerous potential health benefits. However, they are sensitive to degradation by pH, light, and temperature. Blue corn (maize) is known to be high in anthocyanins (mainly cyanidin 3-glucoside). Citric and lactic acids and glucono-delta-lactone (GDL) are weak organic acids used by the food industry. Reel, convection, and impingement ovens are all used in the baking industry and they use different baking times and temperatures because they have different heat transfer coefficients. Cookies are popular snacks and might serve as a vehicle to deliver antioxidants and fiber. Preliminary tests showed that acids significantly increase the total anthocyanin content (TAC) remaining in the cookies when used at the 1.5% level (flour weight basis, fwb), then plateau up to the 6 % level. The interaction of three acids with three oven types (impingement oven 355F/4min, reel oven 400F/10min, and convection oven 360F/4min) were conducted to investigate their effects on the TAC remaining in blue corn based cookies. Cookie formula was based on AACC method 10-50D. Whole grain blue corn flour to wheat pastry flour ratio (80/20), guar gum level (1%, fwb), and water level (21.5%, fwb) were determined based on RSM analysis.

  • Accessible Arts Calendar Summary 2019 Current Venues and Shows
    Accessible Arts Calendar Summary 2019 Current Venues and Shows Updated 9-4-19 – The VSA Minnesota Accessible Arts Calendar lists arts events that proactively offer accessibility accommodations such as: ASL (American Sign Language Interpreting), AD (Audio Description), CC (Closed Captioning), OC (Open or Scripted Captioning), DIS (performers with disabilities), or SENS (Sensory-friendly accommodations) which are inclusive for children on the autism spectrum. The main Accessible Arts Calendar listings (emailed monthly through August 2019 and online at http://vsamn.org/community/calendar) offer descriptions of shows, authors, directors, describer & interpreter names, ticket prices, discounts, dates for Pay What You Can (PWYC), and more. This Current Venues and Shows list supplements the Accessible Arts Calendar. On our website as a Resource under Community (http://vsamn.org/community/resources-community/), it summarizes shows at arts venues across Minnesota: plays, concerts, exhibits, films, storytelling, etc. It’s limited to what we learn about and have time to include. The venues are organized alphabetically by Twin Cities venues and then by Greater Minnesota venues. They may offer accessible performances proactively or upon request. Words in GREEN identify some accessibility accommodations. We assume all auditoriums and bathrooms are wheelchair-accessible and theatres with fixed seating have assistive listening devices, unless noted otherwise. Both calendars will be discontinued after September 2019 when VSA Minnesota ceases operation.

  • Decolonizing Our Diets by Recovering Our Ancestors' Gardens
    25 wide x 41.6 deep 6 x 9 with 4.6 pi head, 5 pi gutter, 25 pi, recto, template 6x9-4x25f.ptf EDITOR’S COMMENTARY Decolonizing Our Diets By Recovering Our Ancestors’ Gardens devon a. mihesuah For Native Americans, current federal dietary guidelines promoting a meaty, cheesy diet amounted to, perhaps inadvertently, the nutritional equivalent of smallpox-infected blankets. Neal D. Barnard, M.D., and Derek M. Brown, “Commentary: U.S. Di- etary Guidelines Unfit for Native Americans” Ninety percent of diabetes and 80 percent of heart disease cases can be directly attributed to unhealthy eating and lifestyle habits. Time Magazine, 20 October 2003 Poor health resulting from lifestyle choice is a serious problem for Ameri- cans.1 Heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, and alcoholism rage across tribal Nations and have struck both the young and old. Members of my tribe, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, for example, have been especially hard hit by a variety of ailments directly related to poor diet and lack of exercise. In a recent commentary, physicians Neal D. Barnard and Derek M. Brown stated that the 1995 Dietary Guidelines (that were reviewed in mid- 2000) advocate a diet that is unlike the traditional diets of Native peoples. An example of how out of step nutrition “experts” are with the needs of Natives is a study conducted in 1977 in Gastroenterology that revealed that 100 percent of Natives tested were lactose intolerant, which is a food in- tolerance to lactose, a sugar found in milk products. Those suffering from lactose intolerance are deficient in the enzyme lactase.
