What to Expect
On Exam Day
Before Your MRI
You may eat normally on the day your MRI is scheduled, and you may continue to take any medications prescribed by your physician.
When you arrive at Paradigm Imaging you will be asked to fill out some general paperwork (download) and show your insurance card. As such, we request that patients arrive 30 minutes PRIOR to their scheduled appointment so all screening and patient history paperwork can be completed. You will also be asked to remove all metal objects.
Items that need to be removed by patients before entering the MRI system room include:
1. Purse, wallet, money clip, credit cards, cards with magnetic strips
2. Electronic devices such as beepers or cell phones
3. Hearing aids
4. Metal jewelry, watches
5. Pens, paper clips, keys, coins
6. Hair barrettes, hairpins
7. Any article of clothing that has a metal zipper, buttons, snaps, hooks
8. Shoes, belt buckles, safety pins
9. Bras with metal underwire
Since the MRI will erase information on bank cards and credit cards, you should put them into the locker as well. Wear comfortable clothing with no metal zippers or buttons. Do not wear makeup, as some products may contain metallic particles.
You will be asked if you have any of the following:
- A pacemaker
- Prosthetic device
- Metallic implants
- Permanent eyeliner
- Brain aneurysm clips
- And if you may be pregnant
For Your Comfort
Paradigm Imaging’s 1.5 Tesla GE Signa MRI is a comfortable and efficient scanner. You lie flat on the patient table which slides smoothly into the scanner. For additional comfort, pillows and blankets are available.
Your technologist will direct the testing from a room where there are several monitor screens that instantaneously show the precise areas your physician has requested to know more about.
The testing can take between 30 and 90 minutes. You may bring someone along to sit with you during the testing. Many people bring along a favorite CD or cassette tape. You are welcome to do so.
A parent can sit with their child and hold the child’s hand during the testing.
Let us know if you have had any prior surgery and/or other diagnostic procedures on the body part that we will be scanning. We will make arrangements to get your prior studies and reports for the radiologist to use as a comparison with your MRI exam. If we know a day or so before your scheduled MRI, we can have the prior study available, this will keep us from delaying your MRI report to your referring physician.
We’ve done everything we can to make your MRI a pleasant experience. MRI is one of the best non-invasive diagnostic tools your physician has to help recommend the appropriate treatment for you. Paradigm Imaging is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality MRI services. We offer very flexible hours to accommodate your schedule. At Paradigm Imaging, we set aside time just for you, so please make every effort to keep your appointment. However, if you are unable to keep your appointment, please call us as soon as you can at (985) 882-4500.
Please note: Before the MRI procedure, you will be asked to fill out a screening form asking about anything that might create a health risk or interfere with imaging. You will also undergo an interview by a member of the MRI facility to ensure that you understand the questions on the form. Even if you have undergone an MRI procedure before at this or another facility, you will still be asked to complete an MRI screening form.

A period of below-normal rainfall does not necessarily result in drought conditions. Some rain returns to the air as water vapor when water evaporates from water surfaces and from moist soil. Plant roots draw some of the moisture from the soil and return it to the air through a process called transpiration. The total amount of water returned to the air by these processes is called evapotranspiration. Sunlight, humidity, temperature, and wind affect the rate of evapotranspiration. When evapotranspiration rates are large, soils can lose moisture and dry conditions can develop. During cool, cloudy weather, evapotranspiration rates may be small enough to offset periods of below-normal precipitation and a drought may be less severe or may not develop at all.

text: For medico-legal forensic practitioners the identification of unknown remains is an important part of any investigation, often predicated on having accurate estimations of age and sex. In considering the specific skeletal elements available to facilitate such biological information, the cranium is frequently targeted for analysis, as it exhibits marked traits of sexual dimorphism, and also has a predictable pattern of growth. There are, however, instances where it may not be possible to estimate skeletal sex, especially in the juvenile skeleton. There is still considerable uncertainty surrounding the age at which the human cranium is quantifiably dimorphic. The aim of the present study is to explore age and sex variation in three-dimensionally reconstructed MDCT scans of the juvenile cranium. The study sample comprises 152 juvenile crania from a Western Australian population; a total of 52 three-dimensional landmarks are acquired and analyzed using Procrustean geometric morphometrics. Group discrimination is assessed between sexes and across age classes. Results demonstrate that sexual dimorphism and age variation is discernible through geometric morphometric analysis of form, size and shape. Relative to sex and age, size is found to be generally equivalent to, or even more accurate than, shape data. There is little quantifiable sexual dimorphism in individuals younger than 12 years of age with most variation related to age; discrimination improves with increasing age, with average hit rate (HR) values increasing from just over 50% (52–58%) to more than 90% (93–94%) accuracy at 18 years. In contrast, differences between contiguous age classes follow the opposite trend and tend to be larger in prepubertal groups, while becoming progressively smaller in older age classes. This study demonstrates that simple linear interlandmark distances describing overall cranial size may provide a simple option for preliminary classifications of age and sex in skeletal remains of forensic interest. However, although recombining size and shape to perform analyses using form generally does not appreciably improve predictive accuracy, it potentially contributes to increased confidence in group assessment (especially for sex) and thus offers a promising, albeit complex, type of information to discriminate groups based on cranial size and/or shape.

2004: Chaotic mixing helps adhesion of affinity magnetic beads and cells.
“A Chaotic Mixer for Magnetic Bead-Based Micro Cell Sorter”
Published in H. Suzuki, C. M. Ho, N. Kasagi, MicroElectroMechanical Systems, 13(5),2004, pp. 779-790.
This is the work I have mostly done in Dr. Chih-Ming Ho’s lab at UCLA. It is also my PhD work.
An efficient magnetic force driven mixer with simple configuration is designed, fabricated, and tested. It is designed to facilitate the mixing of magnetic beads and biomolecules in a microchannel, where mixing is unavoidably inefficient due to its low Reynolds number. With appropriate temporal variations of the force field, chaotic mixing is achieved, hence the mixing becomes effective. The mixing device consists of embedded microconductors as a magnetic field source and a microchannel that guides the streams of working fluid. It is demonstrated that a pair of integrated micro conductors provides a local magnetic field strong enough to attract nearby magnetic beads. Mixing of magnetic beads is accomplished by applying a time-dependent control signal to a row of conductors. Two-dimensional numerical simulation has been performed to design the configuration of the channel and
electrodes, which creates chaotic motion of beads. It is found that a simple two-dimensional serpentine channel geometry with the transverse electrodes is able to create the stretching and folding of material lines, which is a manifestation of chaos. The mixing pattern predicted by the simulation has been confirmed by both flow visualization and PTV (Particle Tracking Velocimetry) in
the chaotic mixer fabricated, which should greatly increase the attachment of beads onto the target biomolecules. The optimum frequency of applied control signal is searched by evaluating the
Lyapunov exponent in both numerical and experimental particle tracking.

Today, businesses and organizations are looking for ways to save on their operating costs. One area that has enabled businesses to reduce their operating costs effectively is optimizing energy systems. This is after many organizations realizing that they spend so much on wasted energy. Studies have shown that about thirty percent of energy in commercial buildings goes to waste. However, adopting energy management companiesprograms helps save so much energy costs.
By not optimizing your energy systems, you end up paying high energy costs. However, all kinds of businesses are trying to optimize their energy systems. There is, however, a challenge in doing this for many businesses. Since energy management is not a core competency for many businesses, it becomes overwhelming for many businesses to optimize their energy systems.
Capital investment is, however, one of the challenges for many businesses when it comes to optimizing energy systems. Many businesses are willing to adopt energy-efficient systems but not ready to divert capital to energy efficiency programs. Fortunately, energy efficiency service companies are helping businesses optimize their energy systems without investing any capital. This has been made possible through energy as a service. Know more about energy at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy
Energy as a service has enabled businesses to make the necessary upgrades without investing precious capital. This involves outsourcing the design, implementation, as well as continuous management from a third party. Partnering with energy management companyexpert will also eliminate the risk and stress of selecting technology, as well as maintenance. Again, implementation timelines are reduced and your business will be free to focus on profit-generating activities.
When you partner with an expert in energy optimization, they provide all the technology required, perform all efficiency upgrades. The energy efficiency company will also undertake constant maintenance, monitoring, upgrades such as installing superior HVAC and LED lighting among others. Therefore, you will concentrate on your business while the energy optimization experts make your business energy efficient.
But how do you pay for it? With energy as a service, you will not have to purchase the assets to benefit from energy savings. However, your energy efficiency company will secure third-party funding where the funding partner pays for the assets and caters for the implementation costs. Therefore, the funding partner will own the assets since they finance the program.
Customers will not incur any capital expense. However, the customer’s energy savings will be calculated based-on verification and measurement protocols that is agreed-upon. Part of the savings will, however, be charged back every month as your operational expense.

Originally announced in 2004 and slated for a release soon after the PlayStation 3, you would be forgiven for having forgotten about Nioh; or maybe, like me, having never have even heard of it. It is however back and releasing later this year (hopefully). The even better news is if you want to give it a shot before its release you will have a chance later this month.
Nioh‘s demo will be available from 26 April through to 5 of May for all PlayStation 4 owners. Rather oddly, all those who complete it will receive The Mark of the Conquerer DLC for the full game. It is not entirely known what this DLC will add or whether it will be available to others on release but is a nice gesture nonetheless.
The developers, Team Ninja, – the company behind Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive – also released a two minute trailer showing off the current (alpha) gameplay. The gameplay itself looks to closely resemble Dark Souls and the rather tacky “Ready to Die?” in the trailer would suggest the same.
Said to be an action-RPG with some hack and slash mechanics, Nioh takes place in 16th century feudal Japan and loosely follows the historical Samurai William Adams. “Loosely” would be the right phrase as the horned demons and spirit sharks suggest not complete historical accuracy.

In the traditional guinguette spirit, barges return to the forefront of the Paris food and beverage scene. These ancient barges are full of charm, and allow the summer nights to unfold under the lanterns. With a glass of rose in hand, or well-shaken cocktail, small dishes are also available to share. From Île Saint-Louis to Levallois-Perret, here are our top 3 picks.
Located on the banks of the Seine river, Polpo opens this summer on a large sandy beach, lined with straw umbrellas and blue beach sofas. At the water’s edge, guests will find a plethora of summer fare: Saint Vaast oysters, sea-food platters, octopus salads, burratina…What's more is the soft lobster roll by Homer (soft brioche bread, Canadian lobster, lemon butter, and herbs). Another highlight of the Polpo, a devastatingly beautiful view and an extensive cocktail menu.

UCSF Health doctors have achieved a first-of-its-kind bend transplant between a same patient’s arms. Experts contend a Apr 2016 medicine could renovate diagnosis for mishap patients, harmed veterans and others with bend and corner conditions.
“The fact that a donor bend came from a same studious — a counterpart picture bend — is what creates this procession singular and a initial of a kind,” UCSF Health surgeon Dr. Lisa Lattanza pronounced of a Apr 15 transplant on 37-year-old Reginald Cook.
A Novel Surgery
The 12-hour procession during UCSF Medical Center during Parnassus concerned 5 surgeons, dual orthopaedic upper-arm ascendancy specialists and 3 plastic/microvascular surgeons. The doctors worked on both of Cook’s arms concurrently to mislay and bond bone, muscles, blood vessels, nerves and skin.
“This medicine was a bit like ballet,” pronounced Lattanza, who led a group that transplanted Cook’s left bend into his right arm. “Everybody knew their partial and achieved exquisitely during usually a right time.”
A 2009 automobile collision left Cook, of El Paso, Texas, in a coma for months. He postulated mind trauma, several damaged skeleton in his neck and stoppage in his legs, necessitating a wheelchair.
Cook also suffered a finish unconcern of a brachial plexus, a network of nerves, in his left arm and unsuccessful to redeem any haughtiness function. Despite mixed reconstructive procedures to correct a cracked bend in his right arm, Cook found himself with no bend corner and usually half a bone in that prong after an ingrained bend corner became infected.
As a result, he could no longer control a arm for even elementary tasks like eating, nonetheless he did have good transformation of his right hand. Cook relied on his sister and a visiting helper for care.
An Unusual Collaboration
“He did not have use of possibly arm,” pronounced Dr. Eric Sides, Cook’s orthopaedic surgeon in Texas who worked with Lattanza on a case. “His right arm was fundamentally solidified during 90 degrees, and his left arm was totally nonfunctional.”
Sides, an partner highbrow during Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, initial met Lattanza in a mid-1990s when a dual were residents during a University of Missouri-Kansas City. He contacted Lattanza after Cook suggested a thought of an bend transplant, anticipating to recover use of one of his arms.
Sides and Cook trafficked to San Francisco to accommodate with Lattanza in Nov 2015. The procession was potentially unsure given Cook could mislay duty in his right hand, due to probable haughtiness repairs during a operation, as good as injure hankie from a prior infection and surgeries.
In a months heading adult to a procedure, Lattanza worked with UCSF colleagues and consultants around a universe to digest a novel surgery, that would mislay Cook’s left arm above a bend and transplant that bend to his right arm. The group also used 3-D mechanism displaying program from Belgian association Materialise to assistance devise a surgery.
The UCSF Health surgical group enclosed Dr. Scott Hansen, Dr. Charles Lee, Dr. Michael Terry and Dr. Samantha Piper. Alyssa Ricker, principal clinical operative for Materialise, served as imaging consultant.
Despite endless planning, Lattanza and her group done adjustments on a fly during a medicine given Cook’s anatomy had altered given his initial visit.
“The skeleton came behind together well, a corner is operative good and a strap is alive,” Lattanza pronounced of Cook’s surgery. “He’s relocating his right hand, so there was no haughtiness repairs during a operation. We’re all really carefree on a outcome.”
She combined that, one month after a transplant, Cook was means to lift his palm to his face and mouth on his own.
Hope for a Future
“I’m now feeling hold and sensations,” pronounced Cook, who was scheduled to stay in San Francisco for several weeks after a surgery, while doctors monitored his progress.
Once Cook earnings to Texas, Sides says he hopes his studious can recover a ability to dress and feed himself over a subsequent year — and potentially even travel again.
“If we can make a arm clever enough, he should be fine to travel with a cane,” Sides said.
Cook will restart earthy therapy in his right arm, and his left arm now has suitable anchoring for a prosthesis if desired, his doctors said.
“I can’t wait to be eccentric and give my 14-year-old daughter a large hug,” pronounced Cook, who hopes to turn a motivational speaker. “This has been life changing for me.”

Before you start running your food truck, you should register your business and obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN). The EIN can be obtained online. It is also important to open a business bank account. In addition, you should obtain the proper insurances for your truck. General liability insurance and a commercial auto policy are both vital. When obtaining these insurances, make sure to shop around and choose the best option that best suits your needs.
A driver’s license and vehicle registration are also essential. In addition, some states require a seller’s permit for food trucks. This type of license is important because it allows you to buy wholesale without paying sales tax. You also may need commercial plates for your truck, so check with your local DMV. You should also get a food truck permit from your local health department to make sure that you are following the regulations in your area.
In addition to obtaining the proper licenses, you should also develop a business plan. This plan will serve as a guide for your business and will help you organize your vision. This document will also help you raise the necessary funding for your food truck business.
Can I Park a Food Truck Anywhere in Florida?
In Florida, food trucks are allowed in certain areas, such as commercial parking lots and sidewalks. You must check with the city you plan to operate in to see if there are any restrictions or fees for parking. Also, you cannot park your food truck on the street unless you have written permission from the property owner. It is also important to follow any other regulations that may apply to food trucks.
Before you start your food truck business in Florida, you must get the necessary permits and licenses. The cost of these permits may vary from state to state. Depending on the state, you may have to pay anywhere from $100 to $500 for a permit to operate a food truck. You may also need a seller’s permit, which allows you to purchase wholesale food and sell it in certain places. Fortunately, these permits are free in some states.
When you have acquired your food truck, you will need to acquire a food truck parking permit in order to park it in the desired location. The permit tells you where you can park it and how long you can stay there. It can be a lengthy process, so it is a good idea to apply as soon as possible after buying your food truck. Depending on where you’re planning to sell your food, you may need a parking permit for every zone you’ll be operating in.
How Much is a Food Truck License in Florida?
If you are thinking about opening a food truck in Florida, you should know that it costs anywhere from $28,000 to $30,000 USD. This includes the license, permits, inspection fees, legal documents, and supplies. However, you must be aware that the total cost does not include special permits require additional fees.
When you decide to open a food truck, the first step is determining the structure of the business. A sole proprietor is the easiest form of business entity, meaning you operate the business under your own name. Another option is to obtain an assumed name certificate, which allows you to trade under the name of another company. You can apply for this from your local clerk’s office.
Once you have the paperwork, the next step is to have the food truck inspected by a health department agent. This inspection will look at the equipment, sanitation, and HACCP plans of the business. You should also have a food truck license and vehicle driving licenses.
Can You Prep Food in a Food Truck?
Before you start cooking, you need to decide on the menu. You can choose between five and twelve different menu items. However, keeping the number to a minimum is best for the quality of the food. Although a food truck isn’t fast food, it’s still important to be able to quickly prepare food and keep the line moving. You should also consider the ingredients used.
To ensure the quality of your food, you can buy sanitizing products for your equipment and kitchen surfaces. You’ll also need sponges, liners, and brooms. You should also invest in a large trash can. Finally, make sure the floor is kept clean with a dustpan and broom.
In addition to preparing food on-site, food trucks also need to store their food in temperature-controlled refrigerators. If you have overnight power, you can even store the food inside the truck. If not, you can store it at home or in a commercial kitchen. Since food trucks sell fresh food, you should be careful and prepare for any potential food shortage.
How Much Does a Food Truck Cost in GA?
If you’re planning to operate a food truck in Georgia, you’ll need to get a mobile food service unit permit and go through a health inspection. These permits can be costly, and they require hours of work. The average cost for a permit is between $200 and $600, and this does not include plan review fees. In March, Georgia’s legislature passed HB 1443, a bill that makes it easier for food trucks to sell anywhere in the state with one permit. It goes into effect Jan. 1, 2023.
You’ll also need to get insurance for your food truck. Food truck insurance can cost up to $300 a year, and will cover auto accidents, food-borne illness, and workers’ compensation. You may need to hire several employees to help you with your business. It’s best to hire someone who has some experience in the food truck industry, as it’ll help you get started faster and deliver a better product to your customers.
Another big expense is acquiring a license and permits from every jurisdiction you want to operate in. This can add up to almost $4,000. The costs of maintaining your food truck can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars a month, depending on the number of employees you hire.
How Much is a Food License in Georgia?
If you are considering opening a food truck in Georgia, you should first get a business license. You can do this through the Secretary of State of Georgia. You also need to register with the United States Food and Drug Administration. You can find out the specific requirements for your business license online or through your local government. Once you know the exact requirements for your license, you can go ahead and apply for it. You will also need a health permit to sell food from your truck.
There are three different categories of food license in Georgia. Cottage food operators must first obtain a business license and take a food safety manager course. In addition, they must go through a home inspection. Once they pass the inspection, they can sell their homemade products at different locations. Cottage food producers can also sell their products online. Their product range can include bread, candies, dry goods, and preserves.
A food license in Georgia costs around $100. It must be renewed annually by July 1st. Depending on the type of license, it can cost up to $300. The license must be obtained by an officer or owner of a food service business. Additional fees may be required if you plan to operate in different cities and counties.
Is It Worth Owning a Food Truck?
Owning a food truck offers a number of advantages. You set your own hours, you decide where to operate your business, and you’re serving your community. You’re also likely to be doing a job you enjoy. But food trucks also come with their own set of challenges. You’ll need to find a location, handle employee scheduling, deal with parking tickets, and market your food.
Food trucks need to be insured, and this insurance can cost hundreds of dollars a year. It covers general liability, auto accidents, foodborne illness, and workers’ compensation. As the food truck is constantly moving from one location to another, it’s important to budget for these costs.
Another benefit of owning a food truck is the low overhead costs. Compared to operating a traditional restaurant, owning a food truck is much cheaper than opening a brick-and-mortar establishment. You’ll also be able to start small and expand your business over time. Food trucks also don’t require large investments in kitchen equipment, utensils, and supplies.
What is the Most Profitable Type of Food Truck?
A food truck can specialize in a single product or provide a variety of menu options. Pizza, for example, is a popular choice, and has been popular since the 16th century. The reason pizza is so popular is that it’s relatively easy to make and inexpensive to sell.
Some food trucks offer drinks and snacks as well. This type of food truck can be a popular nightlife attraction. Depending on the state, they may also be allowed to serve alcohol. Some states, however, prohibit food trucks from operating in public places. A snack stand may offer finger foods, candy, and popcorn. Other food trucks may occupy the outdoor space of an event.
While a food truck can be profitable, there are many expenses that come with running one. Food truck owners should budget for marketing expenses, including paid advertising, participation in events, and online/text marketing. This will help them estimate how much they’ll need to spend to break even.

Following Deontay Wilder's latest claim that Fury had something the "size and shape of an egg weight" in his gloves, this video showing Wilder's team watching Fury have his hands wrapped just before their February rematch.
After months of relative silence, Deontay Wilder took to Instagram last week to put forward his latest theories to explain his seventh round TKO loss to Britain's Tyson Fury in Las Vegas earlier this year. In the video, Wilder accused Fury of cheating in both fights and even accused his own trainer, Mark Breland, of being in on the conspiracy to take his WBC heavyweight title away:
"It’s impossible for a brand new 10oz glove to bend, to keep a smushed-in form or to have loose space. I highly believe you had something hard in your glove, something the size and the shape of an egg-weight. It’s the reason why the side of my face swelled up in an egg-weight form. And it left a dent in my face as well.
"But in the midst of it all, you still couldn’t keep this king down. You would have had to kill me. In the end it took a c***-in-a-bucket referee and a disloyal trainer (Mark Breland) to throw the towel in just to stop me."
Fury has yet to directly address the new claims, but did dismiss similar foul play accusations about his gloves back in June. In a video posted to his social media accounts, Fury said:
"Unless Deontay Wilder's own trainer Jay Deas was in on the conspiracy as well along with all the Las Vegas Commission guys who never left the room. Jay Deas was in the room while I had my hands wrapped, he examined them. He was in there when I had my gloves put on, examined them, and everybody else was in the room, they don't leave you.
"So everybody citing foul play – bulls***. And the next time I'll put a dent in his boxing career, end it. It'll be two knockout losses in a row, bye bye forever."
BT Sport confirmed Fury's claims shortly after with a video of their own, showing Jay Deas and members of Wilder's team watching intently, just a few feet away as Fury had his hands wrapped, and the video has since resurfaced on social media in light of Wilder's latest claims. Watch below:

NEW YORK – Antarctica Marathon Tours caters to daredevil runners with an annual event that pits man against the cold, dry winds of the southern continent.
The event has taken place every year since 1995 and has been gathering steam as more die-hard runners want to test themselves – but attendance is limited to 100 entrants a year.
Taking place on King George Island, the Antarctic marathon is considered to be one of the world’s most difficult races, with a cut-off time of six-and-a-half hours.
A marathon runner who usually aims to finish in four hours should look more towards the five-hour mark, Thom revealed.
Due to the remote location of King George Island, the event is only open to those taking part through the tour company.
All runners, who must undergo serious training in preparation for the event, will also get downtime allowing them to explore the area as part of the tour package.
The marathon is run near the South Pole and in the past runners have caught stunning glimpses of penguins and whales.
Due to its popularity – 17 countries were represented during this year’s run in March – the marathon has already sold out for 2015 and 2016.

Video PlayerClose BEIJING, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) — China’s foreign trade registered steady growth in the first 11 months of 2019 by expanding 2.4 percent year on year, the General Administration of Customs (GAC) said Sunday. During the period, the total foreign trade volume reached 28.5 trillion yuan (4.14 trillion U.S. dollars). Exports climbed 4.5 percent year on year to 15.55 trillion yuan, while imports hit 12.95 trillion yuan, the data showed. China saw its trade surplus widen by 34.9 percent year on year to 2.6 trillion yuan during the period. In November, China’s foreign trade amounted to 2.86 trillion yuan, up 1.8 percent year on year. Despite global economic and trade slowdown, China’s foreign trade still maintained stable growth this year, showing the resilience of the Chinese economy, said Li Kuiwen, director of the GAC’s statistics and analysis department. Imports gained 2.5 percent to 1.29 trillion yuan last month, compared with a 3.5-percent decline in October. “The improving import data in November reflected a pickup in domestic demand,” Li added.

Gábor Palotai is an acclaimed figure of the international design and art scene. The graphic designer and visual artist representing a unique style winning a new award every year has almost become a tradition by now. This time we present his poster series designed for Stockholm-based restaurant Videgård, earning him his 28th Red Dot award.
Gábor Palotai grew up in a creative environment, which according to him, shaped the entire course of his life. He started his studies at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, and continued to educate himself in Sweden later on. He has been living and creating there ever since. “My moving to Sweden was by actually by chance. I got an opportunity to showcase by diploma project at an exhibition in Stockholm right after I graduated, and later I applied to the Swedish Royal Academy of Fine Arts and to Beckmans College of Design, where I was admitted instantly. Then after a few years in school I decided to stay in Stockholm. Then came the jobs, the tasks, and I slowly got into an intensive career launch. Nevertheless I still return to Budapest regularly, I have had several group and solo exhibitions there” – Gábor told us.
His works are influenced immensely by cinema and literature – his unique visual language is characterized by mixing perspectives of design and art. “I think there are no boundaries between art and design: for me, it is always the context that determines whether something is design or art” – Gábor added.
This creative approach can be observed also in the case of the visual elements designed for Videgård restaurant. The enquiry arrived from Erik Videgård, a prominent and acclaimed figure of Swedish gastronomy, whom Gábor has worked with on several projects for years.
The restaurant located in central Stockholm represents the so-called nikkei cuisine (Japanese-Peruvian fusion), offering a gourmet, intimate and at the same time very special experience to guests. Videgård’s ambience also echoes on the clean design of the poster series: the posters feature chopstick silhouettes arranged into abstract, geometric compositions, symbolizing the poetry of theculinary arts of the Far East.
“Cooking is a form of artistic self-expression from several aspects, regardless of whether it is paired up with complex or simple flavors. Even though chopsticks are banal objects in themselves, in this form they have a dramatic and poetic effect” – Gábor highlighted. “The illustrations created this way lend a more subdued environment to the restaurant, allowing for the diversity of guests: this is why I decided to create the posters in a black & white, monochrome shade.” – he added.
The poster series will be complemented by additional visual elements, including the logo of the restaurant, the line of patterns placed on the various wall surfaces of the interior, animation films and visual illustrations as well as the clothing of the staff and creative communication elements displayed on the various online platforms.
Gábor Palotai’s full poster series will be available on Red Dot’s website from October, when the award ceremony will take place together with an exhibition. The good news is that the pieces of the series will be available for ordering from Videgård restaurant.

I sort of hate posting about this exhibition, as it is closing, but despite my best intentions, I was unable to attend it until late last week. It was the Upstate History Museum’s (in Greenville, SC) very first showing of fashion and costume, and they really did lead off with a winner. The show came from Kent State University Museum, which acquired the personal clothing of Katharine Hepburn around ten years ago. I saw this show in 2010 at Kent State, and had really enjoyed it, and since it was so close, decided to see it again.
When Kent State acquired the clothing, they learned that some of the pieces were identified with the name of the production, but others were not. Since I saw the show seven years ago, it appears that some more pieces have been identified, as there were some additions that I did not see the first time around. Someone has haved the very pleasurable task of watching Hepburn’s films with an eye out for the museum’s costumes!
Included in the show are garments Hepburn wore on stage, on screen, and in her personal life. There were quite a few costumes in her possession because if she really liked a particular garment, she would buy it when filming was completed or when the play’s run was over. In some cases, if she could not get the original, Hepburn would have the designer make copies for her personal use.
This green jumpsuit may be such a copy. It was made for Hepburn in 1939 by the designer, Valentina, and was worn in the stage production of The Philadelphia Story. You can see Hepburn wearing it, or the original, in the photo behind the mannequin. There is also an very similar natural silk one in the collection.
Also from The Philadelphia Story, this gown was also designed by Valentina. The belt is a reproduction. Hepburn also wore this dress in 1973 (thirty-fours years later) when she portrayed Amanda Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie.
This dress was worn in another stage production, The Lake of 1934. Remember that famous Dorothy Parker quip about Hepburn’s acting, “She runs the whole gamut of emotion from A to B”? This is the play being referenced.
Hepburn continued to grace the stage, even after she found fame in Hollywood. These three costumes are from Coco, a 1969 musical in which Hepburn played Coco Chanel. Cecil Beaton designed the costumes, but to add a bit more authenticity to the production, Hepburn went to Paris and purchased some of the real deal. The suit on the left is by Chanel; the pantsuit and gown are by Beaton.
Stage Door, 1937, gown by Muriel King. I don’t tend to think of Hepburn as the frilly type, but this proves she could carry it off when necessary.
Hepburn wore this gown in 1949’s Adam’s Rib, opposite Spencer Tracy. In the movie poster seen behind the dress the dress is tinted red so it would stand out from the others wearing black. This dress was designed by Walter Plunkett in 1949.
This gown was designed by Irene, and was worn in 1948’s State of the Union.
UPDATE: I added this photo from Liza at Better Dresses Vintage to illustrate one of the things we discussed during our visit, the quality of workmanship of Hollywood costume departments. Being able to examine the clothes this closeup really lets you see the great skills of the sewers in those costume shops.
In 1967 Hepburn made her last movie with Spencer Tracy, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. These two ensembles were not actually used in the film, but were the outfits she wore in publicity photos for it. They both show signs of additional wear, and so Hepburn must have worn them in her private life.
Katharine Hepburn also did special productions for television. These two costumes were worn by her in the 1979 production The Corn Is Green. Considering she was seventy-two years of age at the time, she had a pretty impressive figure. She did have a little help from corsetry.
I’m afraid I have to title this photo, “Costuming Gone Bad.” These two are from Love Among the Ruins, which was filmed in 1975, but was set in 1911. The green robe/coat garment was made from a lovely silk, and I really liked it, but that red! The fabric appeared to be a cheap poly, and the trim was that stuff people used to use to trim lampshades. And so many feathers! I simply do not understand what the designer, Margaret Furse, was thinking. But what do I know? Furse won a costuming Emmy for this made for TV film.
Here’s a selection of Hepbrun’s famous slacks. There are thirty-one pairs in the collection, though not all were on exhibit. Many were custom made to fit Hepburn’s specifications. The jodhpurs were bought at Abercrombie and Fitch. The blue jacket may be the one she wore in On Golden Pond.
Hepburn also had her shoes custom made. There are six of these brown single strap shoes in the collection.
Two trays of Hepburn’s makeup, and you can barely see a hairpiece in the upper right corner.
I had some company on this visit, Liza, the owner of Better Dresses Vintage. Having another fashion history lover with whom to discuss and critique the clothes really does enhance the experience of a visit to an exhibition.
These clothes will be heading back to Kent State where they will be on view from February 2, 2018 to September 2, 2018.


MADRAS — It wasn’t quite the crowd that vendors were picturing at the Madras Municipal Airport on Saturday.
Vendors set up on the tarmac were disappointed Friday and Saturday with the number of people at the venue.
About 25,000 people were expected to fly, drive and bus into the airport grounds over the weekend for Monday’s total solar eclipse, but only a fraction of the estimated crowd had arrived by Saturday morning.
Officials had a different viewpoint on the unexpected lack of crowds on Oregon roadways: So far, so good.
Leading up to the weekend, officials had warned that traffic on major state highways would be stop-and-go for miles leading up to and after the eclipse with 1 million visitors expected to come to Oregon to see it.
For the most part, traffic was lighter than expected. Dave Thompson, spokesman for the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, said there were backups on Highway 97 south of Bend around La Pine, but the traffic had subsided.
Officials advised eclipse travelers to take advantage of the lull and leave now for their destinations as traffic is expected to increase leading up to Monday’s event.
“We’re nervous that they’re waiting until tomorrow (Sunday) because that would imply it will be more crowded tomorrow,” Thompson said. “At this point, we don’t know.”
Angela Beers Seydel, an Oregon Department of Transportation spokeswoman based in Lincoln City, said that traffic volumes being observed are “typical for a summer weekend.”
She said there were reports that hotels were receiving cancellations but that vacant rooms were being booked.
“It’s not overwhelmed,” she said.
That worried Depoe Bay Mayor Barbara Leff enough to put out a press release announcing that the Central Oregon Coast city is ready for visitors.
“The news is incorrect that it has rained here for the past three days. It has not,” Leff said. “Our restaurants, hotels, shops and gas stations have stocked up, dressed up and filled up to welcome you.”
At the Madras airport, Teri Drago, the owner of a coffee kiosk called Pony Express, said she bought 70 gallons of milk to prepare for the droves of people expected to file through the area.
“I haven’t even used one gallon,” she said.
Drago, who lives in Powell Butte, about 40 miles southeast of Madras, said she spent about $1,000 to prepare for the event, plus $500 to park her portable coffee shop on the tarmac.
Drago has owned the coffee kiosk for about 11 years and said she hoped to make about $3,000 over the weekend.
“A few days ago we were all really excited anticipating the big crowds, but there’s no one here,” she said, pointing to the empty semi-circle of vendors set up.
Madras airport staff planned for 400 planes with their passengers to be landing and camping there. About 1,200 to 1,500 more campsites were made available for those not flying in and subsequently sold out.
Shortly before noon Saturday, there were a few people meandering through the area, but nothing near the predicted crowd of 25,000.
Just one vendor down from Drago was Tanya Welker, who had a Hawaiian-style lemonade stand, Hapa, that also sold cotton candy. She said she spent about $50,000 preparing for the weekend-long event at the airport. She said as of Saturday afternoon that she had sold about $100 worth of lemonade, water and cotton candy.
“Typically for events I bring about 500 servings with me,” she said. “For this I brought 10,000.”
But Welker, whose biggest money suck is the $800 a day she’s spending to staff employees, said that ultimately it was her risk to take.
“It’s my gamble for my gain, and it’s my gamble for my loss, too,” she said.
Despite the somber mood that seemed to be hanging over one area of the airport, not everyone was worried about making a dollar.
“There’s going to be a crowd,” said Tete Jones, a part owner of Dragon Fired Food. “You just have to do the math: Yesterday was Friday, everyone had to work. Today will be the day that they pack up their kids and their car and head this way.”
Dragon Fired Food was selling fire-roasted pizza, meatball subs, pasta salad, fruit and other food. Jones said she hoped to make two or three times what the business spent to prepare for the weekend, but she wouldn’t disclose the dollar amount expended so far.
Jones said she expected that people would arrive somewhat slowly on Saturday but that traffic into the area would pick up significantly starting Sunday.
“We’re going to have so much business later in the weekend, and it’s going to be stressful,” she said.
Other areas in the path of totality were experiencing the same situation.
Patrick Rollens, a spokesman for the city of Corvallis, also reported quiet conditions.
“It seems like there’s no traffic and minimal visitors arriving at this point,” he said.
He said people appear to be delaying their travel until Sunday and Monday.
A major factor for how busy Corvallis could get is the weather forecast on the coast. The National Weather Service in Portland is forecasting fog along the coast for Monday morning that could obscure the view of the eclipse.
If that forecast holds, Rollens said, visitors may head east for clearer skies, resulting in a last-minute surge of traffic into the city.
“We’re kind of in a holding pattern to see if that materializes,” he said.
Forty percent of Oregon-bound eclipse watchers are expected to be in place by Monday, but a recent Transportation Department survey revealed cause for concern.
About 11 percent of people headed to Madras, considered one of the nation’s best viewing spots, still are planning to arrive Monday morning. That number is too high, Thompson said, adding that it could take six hours or more to travel the roughly 50 miles from Portland to Salem on Sunday.
“We don’t want people to treat this as a game-day event. We’re quite concerned if people think they can pop in Monday to watch the eclipse, then it’s too late,” he said.
No matter how many people show up at the Madras airport, Jones at Dragon Fired Food said she was excited for the weekend, regardless of the crowd.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime event,” she said. “We’re all just working together to hopefully provide an awesome experience.”
Despite the small crowd in the airport food cart and merchandise area on Saturday, airport staff said camping reservations of all kinds were completely sold out.
“We’ve reached our capacity for tent camping, RV camping, planes coming in — everything,” said Dana Jutting, an office assistant at the airport.
Inside the airport office, one person after another approached the staff and asked for a campsite reservation or parking pass for their cars and RVs, but were told the same thing.
“We’re completely sold out,” Jutting said.
Airport staff expected more people to arrive in the area Saturday evening and Sunday.
“They’ll get here,” Jutting said. “It’s just a matter of time.”

Being a parent at Christmas can really tear you in two. On one hand, you want to keep the children calm, relaxed, and level headed. On the other hand, you just want to see them as excited as possible. One fantastic way to build this excitement is through the magic of song.
You do not need to be a rockstar or classical pianist to enjoy music with your children. In fact, with our guide to the best children's Christmas songs, you can have your family rocking around the Christmas tree in no time. For the purposes of pacing ourselves, the one artist we didn’t include is Mariah Carey — you’ll hear her enough everywhere you go!
1. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is an absolute children's classic. The greatest thing is that at its heart, it is a warming Christmas tale about coming of age, finding friends, and doing good.
Originally created by Robert Lewis May, Rudolph started out as an idea for a coloring book. The company May worked for had been purchasing coloring books for Christmas every year. One year, they decided it would be cheaper to produce their own.
May was given the task of creating a story. While looking out onto a foggy lake he came up with the concept of a reindeer with an illuminated nose, guiding others through the fog.
This evolved to the story of Santa's newest reindeer, who was mocked for being different. However, it all turned out good when he used his skills to guide his friends and Santa through the harsh winter winds. It is an excellent moral to teach your children, as it shows that differences make us stronger.
2. Silent Night
Silent Night is one of the quintessential Christmas carols for children. It is ideal for the period as they are drifting off to sleep, while snow falls outside and the fire crackles. The song originally came from a small town in Austria, before becoming beloved all around the world.
Unlike many carols which were written for vocal and organ, this was composed using a guitar. If you play an instrument, it is a very simple song to sing, in a waltzing 3/4 time signature. Grab the six-string, and have a relaxed evening teaching your child the joy of music with this beautiful piece.
3. Jingle Bells
Would it shock you if you found out jingle bells was never actually a Christmas song? Originally titled 'One Horse Open Sleigh' it was supposedly written for choirs. In addition to this, it was actually a very unoriginal composition that mashed together lines from other songs of the period.
The lyrics reference the custom of placing bells on horses to signal their arrival. Despite this dubious history, it's easy to remember melody is excellent for teaching your children. It instills a sense of pitch in toddlers, as it uses very easy combinations of notes and syllables in the opening sections.
4. Frosty the Snowman
The success of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer did not go unnoticed. After Gene 'the Singing Cowboy' Autrey's success with the latter, it was decided he needed another song in a similar vein. That song was Frosty the Snowman.
Frosty is an ordinary, everyday snowman until he is brought to life by a magic hat. He then takes off on a winter adventure with the children who made him, before vanishing suddenly. It is a wonderful, joyful tale to recount in song with children.
The song has been covered by many people. However, the most festive of these shall always remain the Nat King Cole classic recording, which you should undoubtedly play to your children as they settle down for cocoa on Christmas eve.
5. Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Of all the Christmas songs for children to sing, few excite them as much as this one. Bringing home the fact that presents are on their way, it’s a must for any Christmas celebration. This track is such a Christmas staple it has been recorded by over 200 artists, including Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and Bruce Springsteen.
The earliest known recording of the song was in 1934 and was by a banjoist. It was an immediate hit and has been in the charts every decade since.
The refrain of 'You better not shout, you better not cry' is also beloved by parents all over the land. What other song is going to make children behave, giving you a much needed hour of peace during the busy period?
6. The 12 Days of Christmas Songs
The origins of this song are in dispute. While the first written versions come from Britain, it is rumored to have French origins. It has a long history, dating all the way back to 1780.
While more complicated than other Christmas carols for children, this song can be extremely fun and teach your children valuable skills. As the track works backward and includes counting, it is great for cognitive recall and building short term memory.
It can also make for some great Christmas party activities. One game is to get 12 young volunteers and give them each a part to sing. They must sing their given day whenever it comes up, and stand up as they do so.
Make Singing Fun
The golden rule when sharing Christmas songs with children is to have fun! Make them into games, laugh, sing, and enjoy the season with your children.

Key to Successful Food Science Definition
Things You Won’t Like About Food Science Definition and Things You Will
Some standard methods of conserving food have been demonstrated to have a reduce energy input and carbon footprint, when compared to modern approaches. If people eat an excessive amount of food, they can get overweight or obese. Allergenic and extremely processed foods ought to be avoided. In locations where lots of people do not have sufficient food, we say that there’s famine there. When they do not have enough food, we say that they are hungry. If they do not eat the right foods, they can become sick. As a result of low-income levels in many places, it’s also not feasible that people grow their own food only because they don’t have money to put money into agriculture.
Facts, Fiction and Food Science Definition
Energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, but it might change forms and is also linked to mass. As a consequence, the quantity of energy transferred to the secondary consumers is even more compact than that obtained by the main consumers. When the energy was captured, it gets passed around through the many organisms in a specific place. All the energy in an ecosystem comes from sunlight. Water in fat emulsifications are most frequently found in the shape of vinaigrettes and whole butter. The quantity of food America wastes within a year is estimated to be 350 billion pounds.
Things You Should Know About Food Science Definition
At times, food webs can have two or more levels of consumers. As soon as it is possible, it is quite rare to locate a food web that shows a transfer of energy with over five levels. Food webs are necessarily aggregated and just illustrate a small part of the intricacy of real ecosystems. A network of several food chains is known as a food web. Food security is when someone is ready to get a sufficient number of healthy food on a daily basis. Science policy also indicates the action of applying scientific wisdom and consensus to the growth of public policies. After reading above benefits, you have to be curious to learn about the maximal earning sectors from science stream.
Life After Food Science Definition
The Research Chefs Association is the main association that advocates the fundamentals of Culinology. For instance, if you work for a baby food business, you can work with the manufacturing team to research and be sure that their product will have enough nutrients required to aid in a baby’s proper improvement. In reality, the food business is contained in the top 5 largest manufacturing industries in the USA!
How to Choose Food Science Definition
Research done by animal nutritionists allows animal caretakers to understand what nutrients that may have to be supplemented in order to keep them from becoming ill. Science is among the broadest fields, and seeks to spell out how the world works. Food Science is still a comparatively new and developing discipline, brought about mainly as a answer to the social changes happening in North America and other sections of the developed world. The science involved with food production can be very extensive. Understanding science is essential in today’s world. Agriculture sciences seek to feed the world’s population whilst preventing biosafety problems that might influence human health and the surroundings.
Like Amy, you could be surprised to learn as much training and research goes into the practice of establishing and keeping our food supply. It’s possible to tailor your work experience to the kind of role you want to get. Specifically, it was the form of knowledge which people may communicate to one another and share. The ability to perform analysis of food constituents is developed alongside statistical excellent control procedures. The usage of measurements, for instance, is paper writing helper a practical approach to settle disputes locally.
Today, the procedure is largely applied to dairy solutions. Other kinds of energy could include geothermal power and classification of energy as renewable or nonrenewable. It isn’t necessary to finish another application form as a way to be accepted in the Nutritional Science program.
The Basics of Food Science Definition
The microbiology and the safety facets of food also has to be understood. Forensic medicine is commonly used in civil circumstances. It is one of the largest and most important areas of forensic science.

What would you think was the most popular air route in the world?
New York to LA? London to Paris? Beijing to Shanghai?
Chances are your first guess wasn't the domestic from Seoul to Jeju, the capital of Jejudo island in South Korea. Last year saw over 11 million people make the trip between the two cities — the next busiest air route, Tokyo to Sapporo, didn't even come close with just under eight million passengers.
South Korean domestic flights from Seoul to Jeju are so popular that you can board one every 15 minutes. According to Google, there are around 200 flights that make the journey in either direction every day.
So — why? What's drawing absurd numbers of Koreans to this mysterious island? First of all, it's not just Koreans that can't resist the lure of Jejudo — in 2014, Chinese travel giant Ctrip announced that Jeju was behind the spike in Chinese tourists visiting the Republic of Korea.
The Chinese, in particular, are flocking to the island because of its visa-free entry requirements and abundance of casinos (which are banned in China).
Most of the tourism, however, is domestic. Jeju is often touted as the "Hawaii of South Korea," and honeymooners and holidaymakers come here by the bucket/plane load to bask in Jeju's natural beauty.
According to locals, though, Jeju has a dark side.
In 1948, an uprising led by communist sympathisers was violently repressed by the Korean government and US military. 30,000 islanders died and many more were subject to atrocities due to the uprising. Today, many people arrive under the umbrella of "dark tourism" — to experience the harrowing history of the island via places like the 4.3 Peace Park memorial.
These pictures offer at look at why Jeju welcomes millions of visitors every year, whatever their intention:

A new protoapigenone analog RY10-4 induces apoptosis and suppresses invasion through the PI3K/Akt pathway in human breast cancer
RY10-4, a novel protoapigenone analog, shows potent cytotoxicity against a broad spectrum of human cancer cells. Here we investigate its anti-tumor activity on breast cancer. The results indicated that RY10-4 suppressed proliferation, arrested cell cycle, induced apoptosis and inhibited invasion in MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and SKBR3 breast cancer cells. Western blot analysis showed that RY10-4 down-regulated the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and inhibited doxorubicin-induced p-Akt. Moreover, it effectively suppressed tumor growth in mice without major side effects. Therefore, RY10-4 had potential anti-tumor activity, and could be used as a lead to design more potent derivatives.
