| 4:00 pm-5:00 pm | Food Science and Technology Seminar FOOD INDUSTRY COMPLEXUp to 30 percent of individuals in all countries become ill from the food and water they consume each year. Recent outbreaks of foodborne illness involving produce, peanut butter, pot pies and pet food have further elevated public concern of microbial food safety risks.
Current strategies for compelling individuals and organizations to practice food safety appear inadequate and are rarely evaluated. New messages using new media are required to create a culture that values safe food.
Traditional food safety management is based on Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points in conjunction with standard operating procedures. Numerous corporations have comprehensive management models to analyze food safety procedures. Yet increasingly, culture is recognized as fundamental to mitigating food safety hazards.
Creating a culture of food safety requires application of the best science with the best management and communication systems, including compelling, rapid, relevant, reliable and repeated, multi-linguistic and culturally sensitive messages. |
| 5:30 pm-8:00 pm | Round Midnight, Jazz Film @Sheldon SHELDON MUSEUM of ARTContinuing Sheldon's Jazz Film series, a showing of the 1987 film Round Midnight will be presented Monday, April 5 from 5:30p.m. in Sheldon's Ethel S. Abbott Auditorium.
In the movie, set in the 1950s, Saxophonist Dexter Gordon portrays fictional tenor sax player, Dale Turner. Turner is a struggling musician who accepts an offer to perform in Paris, a site where African- American musicians were not judged on the color of their skin, but rather on their musical skill.
Gordon is the only jazz musician to be nominated for an Oscar for best leading actor in the film directed by Bertrand Tavernier.
Maxine Gordon, jazz scholar and widow of Dexter Gordon, will give a talk on the making of the film and will lead a discussion following the screening. She is a Ph.D. candidate at New York University and is Senior Interviewer and Jazz Researcher for the Bronx African American History Project at Fordham University. She is writing a meditative biography of Dexter Gordon.
The series is funded in part by a grant from the Nebraska Humanities Council.
