Orna Ben-Shoshan' s artwork gives the viewer a rare and insightful visit to places beyond consciousness. Her paintings release the imagination and extend the limits of ordinary perception. In her colorful scenes, which take place in a distant world, creatures and objects interact in unpredictable ways and are uninfluenced by the laws of physics. Artist Orna Ben-shoshan receives the images she paints through channeling. Unlike most artists, all of her paintings are completed in her mind before she transfers them onto the canvas. Orna's works infuse deep spiritual experience with subtle humor. During her career as a fine artist for the past forty years, Orna has created a large body of work and is presently focusing on oil paintings. In addition to oil paintings, she creates computer art. These images are transformed into hand-decorated prints on canvas. Currently she also works as a freelance illustrator and textile designer. Orna Ben-Shoshan was born in Kibbutz Yifaat, Israel, in 1956. She received her training as a graphic designer in Tel-Aviv. In 1982 she moved to the U.S. where she lived for fifteen years. Since her first one person show in 1983 (Lancaster, PA) Orna has exhibited her work in museums and galleries throughout the U.S. and abroad, including "ART EXPO N.Y." in 1996. She has received several awards, such as the "Grumbacher Award" from the Copley Society of Boston. Her work was published in "Yoga Journal" and by "Recycled Paper Products". She is also featured in the 10th edition of "The Encyclopedia of Living Artists". Orna returned to Israel in 1996 where she is continuing to work from her studio in Ra'anana. Her first one person show in Israel took place at "Tzavta", Tel-Aviv, in 1998 and won remarkable reviews. Since then, she has been exhibiting her art at numerous one-person and group shows in Israel and Europe.

My great-grandfather was rich with his knowledge, and a farm by the Nile. When his wife died, he wed a Sudanese woman. His six children crossed the house to avoid their step-brothers and sisters, usurpers of attention. My side didn’t mingle with the Sudanese side. We wore skirts, scorned their Jellabiyas. We didn’t invite them to our weddings, only funerals. Our grandfather rode a carriage, counseled to the King, their grandfather rode a donkey. Our common ancestor was an Honorable Theologian who taught how the earth feeds us, how we should unite like threads of a rope. He gave his children a photograph where a fez crowns his head, and calligraphy cradles his sides. I shall pass and my likeness remains after my demise as my bones rest in dust And when I die ask mercy for me from sins, from a forgiving divine Like all prophets, his progeny tries to decipher his words, syllables still flapping through our house of war. 9 POETRY Null Hypothesis Nadia Ibrashi I’ve become like the God-mad mystics who haunt St. Hussein Mosque in Egypt, wearing amulets, singing to the beat of drums, “He’s Alive, He’s Alive.” I’ve recruited a pantheon of saints, talismans and medals in my fight against my son’s seizures, St. Jude’s medal gifted by my hairdresser, glass talisman from Israel, its blue eye fending evil, sent by a friend, holy oil from an abbey in Lebanon, courtesy of a travelling monk, Novenas, Moslem chants, medicines, blood work and doctors, because I’m a scientist who believes in the Null Hypothesis, all things being equal till proved otherwise, so I show parity in my devotions, burn Frankincense, watch its fumes lift my pleadings to the sky.

  • Amy Howlett Amychowlett.Com Omitted – Just Add the Lemon Zest, Garlic, Thyme and Ground Coriander at the Stage of Sweating Down the Onions for the Pork Cheeks
    BRAISED PORK CHEEKS AND OCTOPUS With wet polenta, gremolata, and white soda bread 10 years ago one of my favourite restaurants – Jason Atherton’s Pollen Street Social – opened its doors, and they held a recipe competition. To my great delight I won that competition, and this is the recipe I created! Pork cheeks are a sustainable and cheaper forgotten cut, but the flavour and texture when cooked right is incredible – dark and glazed with pull-apart tender pink centre. Here they are paired with octopus tentacles as surf n’ turf, with a fragrant and flavoursome sauce and wet polenta. Most polenta recipes involve boiling on the stove, but this can result in polenta quickly becoming stodgy and lumpy. By starting with cold milk and stock, the polenta will absorb the liquid gradually, resulting in an even cook and smooth texture. I have included a recipe for white soda bread, but if you don’t want to make your own then any plain white bread will do (ciabatta, focaccia, flatbread etc) – it’s a vehicle for mopping up all the lovely sauce. It is a richly flavoured dish without being overly heavy, then the gremolata adds some freshness and acidity to balance the dish. If you are not a fish eater then the octopus can be Amy Howlett amyCHOWlett.com omitted – just add the lemon zest, garlic, thyme and ground coriander at the stage of sweating down the onions for the pork cheeks. Similarly, for any pescetarians the octopus quantity can be increased, cooking the onions and marinade ingredients from the pork cheek recipe before adding the marinated octopus.

  • Shelf Life Validation of Marinated and Frozen Chicken Tenderloins by John Gregory Rehm a Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Facult
    Shelf Life Validation of Marinated and Frozen Chicken Tenderloins by John Gregory Rehm A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama August 8, 2020 Approved by Dr. Christy Bratcher, Chair, Professor of Animal Science Dr. Jason Sawyer, Associate Professor of Animal Science Dr. Amit Morey, Assistant Professor of Poultry Science Abstract It is immensely important for producers and restaurants to know the shelf life of a meat product. If a consumer eats a product that is rancid it could impact a restaurant’s reputation. The objective of this study is to validate the shelf life of marinated and frozen chicken tenders. The treatments were the age of the chicken tender after harvest, which were 4 days of age (DA), DA5, DA6, DA7 and DA8. Spoilage organisms, pH and instrumental color (L*, a*, b*) were measured to assess the shelf life of bulk-packaged bags of chicken tenders. The microbial analysis analyzed the growth of aerobic, psychotrophic and lactobacilli bacteria. Each treatment contained 47.63 kg of chicken. Chicken was sampled fresh then tumbled in a marinade that contained water, salt, modified corn starch and monosodium glutamate. After marinating, the chicken tenders were sampled (0 hours) and the other remaining tenders were put into a blast freezer (-25ºC). After freezing, the chicken thawed in a cooler (2.2ºC) for 132 hours (h) and was sampled at 36h, 60h, 84h, 108h, 132h. After marinating the chicken tenders, each treatment decreased in the aerobic count and the psychotroph count except for DA4.

  • Good Manufacturing Practices For
    Good Manufacturing Practices for Fermented Dry & Semi-Dry Sausage Products by The American Meat Institute Foundation October 1997 ANALYSIS OF MICROBIOLOGICAL HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH DRY AND SEMI-DRY SAUSAGE PRODUCTS Staphylococcus aureus The Microorganism Staphylococcus aureus is often called "staph." It is present in the mucous membranes--nose and throat--and on skin and hair of many healthy individuals. Infected wounds, lesions and boils are also sources. People with respiratory infections also spread the organism by coughing and sneezing. Since S. aureus occurs on the skin and hides of animals, it can contaminate meat and by-products by cross-contamination during slaughter. Raw foods are rarely the source of staphylococcal food poisoning. Staphylococci do not compete very well with other bacteria in raw foods. When other competitive bacteria are removed by cooking or inhibited by salt, S. aureus can grow. USDA's Nationwide Data Collection Program for Steers and Heifers (1995) and Nationwide Pork Microbiological Baseline Data Collection Program: Market Hogs (1996) reported that S. aureus was recovered from 4.2 percent of 2,089 carcasses and 16 percent of 2,112 carcasses, respectively. Foods high in protein provide a good growth environment for S. aureus, especially cooked meat/meat products, poultry, fish/fish products, milk/dairy products, cream sauces, salads with ham, chicken, potato, etc. Although salt or sugar inhibit the growth of some microorganisms, S. aureus can grow in foods with low water activity, i.e., 0.86 under aerobic conditions or 0.90 under anaerobic conditions, and in foods containing high concentrations of salt or sugar.

  • Ancient) Bodies: the Potters’ Sensory Experiences and the Firing of Red, Black and Purple Greek Vases
    Article Bringing Back the (Ancient) Bodies: The Potters’ Sensory Experiences and the Firing of Red, Black and Purple Greek Vases Sanchita Balachandran 1,2 1 The Johns Hopkins Archaeological Museum, Baltimore, MD 21218, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Near Eastern Studies, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218, USA Received: 27 March 2019; Accepted: 27 May 2019; Published: 4 June 2019 Abstract: The study of Athenian black‐figure and red‐figure ceramics is haunted by nearly a thousand “hands” of the artisans thought to be responsible for their painted images. But what of the bodies attached to those hands? Who were they? Given the limited archaeological and epigraphic evidence for these ancient makers, this study attempts to recover their physical bodies through the ceramics production process—specifically the firing of vessels—as a communal activity potentially including a large cast of participants including craftsmen and craftswomen, metics, freed people and slaves. Using an experimental archaeology approach, I argue that we can begin to approach the sensory experiences of ancient potters and painters as they produced all the colored surfaces (and not only images) that endure on Greek vases. I propose a four‐stage sensory firing in combination with the three‐stage chemical firing process known for the production of Athenian ceramics, suggesting that each stage—and the colors produced at each stage—had their own “sensory signatures.” Examining extant vases with this awareness of the bodily experience of their ancient makers has the potential to bring back these ancient bodies, moving us beyond the limiting narrative of a single hand wielding a paint brush.

  • Identifying and Controlling Food Safety Risks at Shell Egg Operations
    Identifying and Controlling Food Safety Risks at Shell Egg Operations Patricia A. Curtis & Kenneth E. Anderson Evaluation of egg safety begins when the egg is laid. To conduct a thorough risk analysis the risk assessment must begin at lay and continue through to consumption of the egg by the consumer. The goal of this publication is to provide guidance in evaluating risk from farm to consumer. The risk analysis guidance will provide some research results that will aid in risk analysis for each production and processing step. The layers, production environment, egg temperature (initial and throughout processing and storage), and wash water pH and temperature play key roles in reducing microbial growth in shell eggs and should be key in developing an egg safety plan. We have compiled data from published research related to the shell egg production and processing environment, which could be helpful when developing an egg safety plan. Board and Tranter noted that shell eggs can acquire bacteria from every surface they contact (Board and Tranter 1995). Unlike our earlier publication on this topic, this publication includes the layer house and the processing area. It is important to consider all risks associated with the egg. Many of today’s operations are inline and, therefore, a true shell egg risk assessment should evaluate the risks associated with the egg production as well as the egg processing areas. However, with the shift to more off-line and cage-free production systems, a thorough risk assessment should be done for the entire production through processing. Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) is an organism of concern for the layer industry.

DESCRIPTORS Area Studies; Cultural Background; *Cultural Context; Curriculum Development; Developing Nations; *Eating Habits; *Food; Foreign Countries; Global Education; Secondary Education; Social Studies; Student Educational Objectives IDENTIFIERS Fulbright Hays Seminars Abroad Program; *India ABSTRACT While leaders in India have been slower than other non-Western nations to encourage the sales of Western fast food products, signs of these foods are present in larger cities like Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras. This unit of study is a series of lessons designed to introduce junior high school or high school students to various aspects of the culture, religion, history, economy, and political structures of India. The unit's lessons, however, center around food as a method of introducing the particular objective. Pointing out that Indians, as they meet the continuing challenges of feeding nearly 1 billion people, can learn from U.S. mistakes in "modernizing" their diets and attitudes towards food. The unit's materials seek to help children to begin learning these lessons. The lessons can be given individually or collectively as part of a unit.
