  • Item 3D. LBR-2019-20-008 Mums
    CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO LONDON N. BREED, MAYOR OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS REGINA DICK-ENDRIZZI, DIRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE DECEMBER 9, 2019 MUMS – HOME OF SHABU SHABU Application No.: LBR-2019-20-008 Business Name: Mums - Home of Shabu Shabu Business Address: 1800 Sutter Street District: District 5 Applicant: Isidore Tam, Owner Nomination Date: August 5, 2019 Nominated By: Supervisor Vallie Brown Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Mums - Home of Shabu Shabu (“Mums”) is a family-owned Japanese American restaurant located on the first floor of the Kimpton Buchanan Hotel in Japantown. The restaurant was founded in 1979 as part of a project to bring Japanese culture to San Francisco by Kintetsu Enterprises Company of Osaka, Japan. It is currently owned by former employee Isidore Tam. Over the 40 years it has been in business, Mums has remained committed to bridging Japanese and American culture through its dining space and cuisine, becoming a vital gathering place for the surrounding Japantown community. Kintetsu Enterprises Company of America was founded in San Francisco in 1961 by Kintetsu Group Holdings of Osaka, Japan. The company sought to bridge Japanese and American cultures. They began in San Francisco, which had been Osaka’s Sister City since 1957. At the time, Japantown had recently undergone redevelopment so Kintetsu brought new life to Japantown by encouraging the proliferation of Japanese businesses in the area. They opened the Kyoto Inn in 1975 and, realizing that guests needed a place to enjoy Japanese food, opened what was then called Café Mums just four years later.

  • Protarctos Abstrusus
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A basal ursine bear (Protarctos abstrusus) from the Pliocene High Arctic reveals Eurasian afnities Received: 18 August 2017 Accepted: 24 November 2017 and a diet rich in fermentable Published: xx xx xxxx sugars Xiaoming Wang 1,2,3, Natalia Rybczynski4,5, C. Richard Harington4, Stuart C. White6 & Richard H. Tedford3 The skeletal remains of a small bear (Protarctos abstrusus) were collected at the Beaver Pond fossil site in the High Arctic (Ellesmere I., Nunavut). This mid-Pliocene deposit has also yielded 12 other mammals and the remains of a boreal-forest community. Phylogenetic analysis reveals this bear to be basal to modern bears. It appears to represent an immigration event from Asia, leaving no living North American descendants. The dentition shows only modest specialization for herbivory, consistent with its basal position within Ursinae. However, the appearance of dental caries suggest a diet high in fermentable- carbohydrates. Fossil plants remains, including diverse berries, suggests that, like modern northern black bears, P. abstrusus may have exploited a high-sugar diet in the fall to promote fat accumulation and facilitate hibernation. A tendency toward a sugar-rich diet appears to have arisen early in Ursinae, and may have played a role in allowing ursine lineages to occupy cold habitats. In 1970, Philip Bjork described a small fossil bear from the Pliocene Glenn’s Ferry Formation of southwestern Idaho. Based on a single m1 as the holotype, he was understandably perplexed and named it Ursus abstrusus. Additional material has not been forthcoming since its initial description and this bear has remained an enigma.

  • Biogeography of the Land Snail Genus Allognathus (Helicidae): Middle Miocene Colonization of the Balearic Islands

Location The Balearic Islands, Western Mediterranean. Methods A 2461-bp DNA sequence dataset was generated from one nuclear and two mitochondrial gene fragments in 87 specimens, covering all nominal taxa of the genus Allognathus. Through maximum-likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic methods along with a Bayesian molecular clock, we examined the evolutionary history of the group. Ancestral distribution ranges were estimated for divergence events across the tree using a Bayesian approach. We also used genetic species-delimitation models to determine the taxonomy of Allognathus. Results We provided the first molecular phylogeny of Allognathus, a genus endemic to the Balearic Islands. The origin of the genus in the Balearic Islands was dated to the middle Miocene based on palaeogeographical events in the Western Mediterranean. During the late Miocene and Pliocene, several diversi- fication events occurred within the archipelago. The ancestral range of Allogna- thus was reconstructed as the north-eastern Tramuntana Mountains of Mallorca.

  • Deinogalerix : a Giant Hedgehog from the Miocene
    Annali dell’Università di Ferrara ISSN 1824-2707 Museologia Scientifica e Naturalistica Volume 6 (2010) Deinogalerix : a giant hedgehog from the Miocene Boris VILLIER* * Dipartimento di scienze della Terra, Università degli Studi di Torino [email protected] SUPERVISORS: Marco Pavia e Marta Arzarello __________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract During the Miocene the Abruzzo/Apulia region (Italy), isolated from the continent, was the theatre of the evolution of a vertebrate ecosystem in insular context. At the late Miocene the protagonists of this ecosystem called “ Mikrotia fauna ” show a high endemic speciation level with spectacular giant and dwarf species of mammals and birds. Most of the remains of this peculiar fauna are found exclusively in the “Terre rosse” of Gargano, except for the oldest genus: Deinogalerix and Hoplitomeryx , also found at Scontrone. Deinogalerix is one of the most uncommon forms of the “ Mikrotia fauna ”. It’s the largest Erinaceidea ever lived. Deinogalerix was described for the first by Freudenthal (1972) then by Butler (1980). Today the five species yet described are under discussion cause of the high intraspecific variations in an insular evolution context. In this study we valuated the information that could bring the new discoveries of Deinogalerix remains. The work was divided into three main parts: the preparation of the material, the drawing reconstructions and the anatomical description. The most important specimen was the second sub-complet skeleton ever found. We gave the most objective anatomical description for futures comparison with the first skeleton from a different specie. We put the finger on new juvenile features and on the relation between the growth of Deinogalerix and his feeding behaviours.
