Allen Family Foods defrauded out of $1.3 million, feds say
KEYWORDS double billing scheme / Harim Group / trucking
Over five years, a Sussex County trucking company stole about $1.3 million from now-bankrupt Allen Family Foods in a double billing scheme, federal authorities say. According toThe News Journal, Dutton Trucking paid an Allen employee to process fraudulent invoices for trucking loads. Husband and wife owners Donald Lee Dutton Sr. and Vicki Dutton each face one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and five counts of mail fraud in a federal court.
Allen's insurance carrier paid the company back for the losses, said U.S. Assistant Attorney Ilana Eisenstein, meaning that the fraud was not a direct contributor to Allen's failure. The company had filed for bankruptcy on June 9, blaming high prices for corn, operational mistakes and Wilmington Trust's decision to cut its credit line. It was acquired by Harim Group, Korea's largest poultry producer, which said that it would continue running the company's existing plants and buy from its contract growers.

The Lost Ways 2
Our evolution has made us what we are right now. We have amenities for everything. However, what we lack, or rather have lost, are the ways that our ancestors used to survive harsh calamities. They didn't rely on anyone but did everything themselves from harvesting to building houses, and everything in between. Some of the ancient civilizations created innovative ways that even pay off if they are followed. Three of them are the superfoods created out of simple ingredients. These foods contain nutrients that could keep you in vitals for longer than anticipated. They could prove to be your life saviors in times of peril and this is exactly what the book The Lost Ways 2 intend. A sequel to The Lost Ways 1, this book contains much more than just superfood recipes. It has instructions on building charcoal filters, kilns, log houses, medicine making, harvesting, hunting and using parts of your game as raw material to make necessary tools, and much more. Besides this, you can get two bonus reports. One on using 4 acres of land for self-sufficiency and the other one on getting prepared for an imminent EMP attack. More here...

Homestead Agroforestry a Potential Resource in Bangladesh
Last Updated on Sat, 26 Nov 2016	| Soil Solarization
Abstract Homestead, the home and adjacent grounds occupied by a family, is the potential production area in Bangladesh, especially for the resource poor group. Homestead production system is popularly called homestead agroforestry or home gardening. It is the integrated production of crops, trees, and livestock in the household's residence and its surrounding areas. It has been playing an important role in the rural economy of Bangladesh since time immemorial, and providing various essential products and services to millions of rural households. But it receives little attention of the researchers for maximizing the production. This review article highlights the resources and contribution of the homestead to draw attention of the researchers and planners for scientific interventions. The size and structure of homesteads are linked to economic, social, and ecological factors. The homesteads are generally small in size but numerically they are increasing steadily with population....
Homestead Agroforestry A Platform for Employment and Economic Security
Last Updated on Wed, 05 Apr 2017	| Soil Solarization
A vast majority of rural people in Bangladesh who cultivate land for crop production remains unemployed for a considerable period of the year because of seasonality of production activities and labor requirements. Homestead farming is the best answer to such unemployment situation through both vegetable growing, and culture of quick growing fruits enabling the people to remain employed round the year (Ahmad 1995). It has been found that over the decades, small-scale homestead activities have become the most significant income generating activities of poor households (Fig. 16.13). For example, over 5 million people in Bangladesh live in the riverine sand and silt landmasses (known as char in Bengali). These areas are highly prone to sudden flooding and erosion of land, and makes living in the chars hazardous and insecure. The Helen Keller International's homestead food production program was found to provide support to the fragile livelihood in the chars and improved the well-being of...
Homestead Agroforestry A System for Multiple Products
Historically, homestead agroforestry production system has been providing multiple products to the households and meeting their diversified need through the production of a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, spices, and different tree products (Miah et al. 2002). The prevailing climatic and edaphic conditions of Bangladesh are the key factors for providing such a unique opportunity of producing a wide range of products (Fig. 16.8). It has been reported that homestead production system collectively contributes about 70 fruits, 40 vegetables, 70 timber, and 90 firewood and bamboo requirement of the country (Miah and Ahmed 2003). Homesteads, regardless of ecological and socioeconomic diversities, own at least a few fruit crops. Fruit crops cover an area of about 100,000 ha, nearly 80 of which are grown in home gardens (MoA-UNPD 2000). MoA-UNDP further reported that 43 fruit crops were grown in a wide diversity of soils and climates of Bangladesh. Among them, the predominant fruit crops...

Homestead Agroforestry A Pathway for Plant Biodiversity Conservation
Best home of plant biodiversity has reduced to 7 areas due to increase human population and associated development activities. Recent information stated that much of the state forest remained unproductive and only 0.84 million ha (about 5.8 of the state forest land) has acceptable forest vegetation (Forestry Department 2004). Under this current situation, homestead agroforestry offer the best option to conserve the diverse range of biodiversity. It is the in situ conservation site of a wide range of plant biodiversity, which is characterized by the measures of species richness, relative prevalence, and inter- and intra-species diversity (Heyhood and Watson 1995). Homestead agro-forestry practice, being a multi-strata production system where diverse plant species are grown in intimate association with or without animals could be a potential option for conservation of biodiversity. A large number of higher plants have been recorded in homesteads and rural areas of Bangladesh. Latif et...
Homestead Agroforestry and Management A Key Employment Opportunity for the Women
Last Updated on Mon, 03 Sep 2018	| Soil Solarization
Women, the vulnerable group of the society and half of the country's population, have a great opportunity for self-employment in the income-generation activities through the practice of vegetable and fruit production in the homestead. Homestead agrofor-estry activities are keeping busy the entire households particularly the women who have minimum opportunities to be involved with other than homestead activities and ensuring the economic security especially to the poorer. The possibility of gender equality for participating in home garden management and sharing of benefits is perhaps one of the major stimuli for continued household food security enjoyed by home gardeners (Kumar and Nair 2004). Homestead being the dwelling place, enables the women for efficient management of homestead activities. Use of family labor, especially women labor, in the production process not only satisfies a wide range of domestic needs more economically but also ensures lowering of production costs and...
Homestead Agroforestry An Excellent Source of Nutrition
Last Updated on Wed, 24 Oct 2018	| Soil Solarization | 1 comment
Fig. 16.12 Fruit, sugarcane, vegetable, poultry, and livestock are in a homestead, which provide nutrition to the household Fig. 16.12 Fruit, sugarcane, vegetable, poultry, and livestock are in a homestead, which provide nutrition to the household Of all the options available to tackle national malnutrition problem, the most practical and sustainable option would be to promote both cultivation and consumption of horticultural crops (fruits, vegetables, and spices) that could provide basic requirement of the essential vitamins and minerals (Fig. 16.12). Production of horticultural crops especially vegetable and fruits may well be the answer to the potential problems of hunger and malnutrition in Bangladesh (Javier 1992 Ahmad 1995). Daily intake of two spoonfuls - about 30 g of colored leafy vegetables can protect a child from vitamin-A deficiency (Hussain 1992). Homestead agroforestry in Bangladesh provides an excellent opportunity for farmers to produce a wide range of horticultural...
Homestead in Bangladesh
Mon, 21 Nov 2016	| Soil Solarization
The country consists of 68,000 villages and each village contains about 268 homesteads (BBS 2005). It is the center of socioeconomic activities and traditional cultural heritage of villages in Bangladesh. Homesteads are multipurpose entities with dwellings, vegetables, spices, fruits, and fuelwood timber species (Fig. 16.1). The homesteads the people live in are locally known as Bari, which occur in linear, cluster, or individual pattern (Hussain and Miah 2004). Homesteads are perhaps the most important production unit in Bangladesh, with about 25.36 million of these in the urban and 21.90 million in the rural areas (BBS 2001). These homesteads occupied about 0.54 million hectares of land (BBS 2001) and this figure is increasing at the rate of 5 m2 ha year (Anam 1999). The average size of the rural homestead is very small, which varies widely according to region and socioeconomic status of the households. Basak (2002) studied homesteads at different ecological zones in Bangladesh and...
Homestead Configuration and Utilization
Last Updated on Sat, 24 Feb 2018	| Soil Solarization
Recent studies and analyses (Hussain 2002 Hussain and Miah 2004) have shown that the homestead production system has been developed based on different microsites. In fact, the micro-sites represent the smallest production units having similar configuration of land and serve specific purposes. The strong argument in favor of this subdivision is that the homestead is not a homogeneous system and what may be suitable for an approach road may not be suitable for a backyard, and, similarly, the uses that are feasible along the boundary may not be feasible at the home yard. This makes new thinking and orientation for the researchers, academicians and development workers to divide the homestead into several production units, i.e., micro-sites. However, in any type of homestead, even with a landless group of farmers having only the homestead land, a set of micro-sites is recognizable. These are recognized as approach road, front yard, home yard, backyard, boundary, and sometimes pond site...
Limited Supplier Base
Last Updated on Mon, 22 Feb 2016	| Power Generation
To overcome the limited number of suppliers, additional manufacturers are needed. Because of the current uncertainty, it is unlikely that such suppliers will enter the market without incentives. The situation is not unlike that experienced in the 1970s as the U.S. Navy sought to update its nuclear submarine fleet. Then, the competition for components for commercial nuclear power had made it difficult to obtain components needed for the U.S. Navy's ambitious submarine construction program. To increase the number of suppliers, the U.S. Navy developed alternative sources for these large components by paying a premium to bring another supplier into the nuclear component manufacturing business. The premium was paid for the first few sets of equipment. Once the new supplier had produced these components and demonstrated his competence, he was competed against other suppliers, enabling lower costs without subsidies for later sets of components. Such an approach could be adopted to encourage...
Response and Adaptation to Impacts on Crops Livestock and Forest Resources
Last Updated on Sun, 28 Jan 2018	| Agriculture Organization
The impacts of climate change will induce responses from farmers and ranchers aimed at adapting. Initial responses likely will be autonomous adjustments to crop and livestock management such as changes in agronomic practices (e.g., earlier planting, cultivar switching) or microclimate modification to cool animals' environment. They require little government intervention and are likely to be made within the existing policy and technological regimes. Methodologically, there has been little progress since the SAR in modeling agronomic adaptations. On the positive side, the adaptation strategies being modeled are limited to a small sample of the many possibilities open to farmers, which may underestimate adaptive capacity. On the negative side, the adaptations tend unrealistically to be implemented as though farmers possess perfect knowledge about evolving climate changes, which may
Biomass of Domestic Stock
Last Updated on Wed, 06 Apr 2016	| Mass Extinctions
Pigs, goats, sheep, and cattle were first domesticated (Pedrosa et al., 2005 Beja-Pereira et al., 2006 Chen et al., 2006 Fernandez et al., 2006 Larson et al., 2007). For time slices up to 6 kyr B.P., only pigs, goats, and cattle were included in the domestic livestock count. More recent time slices also included horses, buffalo, camels, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and catfish. Clearly for prehistoric times, this method provides an overestimate of domestic stock biomass, because no one would argue that the first ranchers had as many domestic stock per person as is the case presently. However, because the purpose of this part of the analysis was to see whether domestic stock compensated for a reduction in wild megafauna, the overestimation actually makes the conclusions more robust.
Guidelines For A New Style Of Rangeland Management Sensitive To Biodiversity
Last Updated on Wed, 06 Apr 2016	| Agroecosystems
First, full-time ranching provides daily contact with the land at all seasons and thus provides experience and a degree of attention to the land that occasional field visits by agency personnel and intermittently interested environmentalists can never replace. Indeed, the Nature Conservancy is calling on such full-time ranchers to manage some of their properties actively with continued livestock grazing, yet with enhanced sensitivity to biodiversity. The Nature Conservancy realizes that simply buying up key properties and eliminating direct human influence is not a viable way to conserve biodiversity on a grander scale. It realizes that humans are part of the ecosystem and that it could not purchase and preserve all the desirable properties anyway. Instead, it understands that encouraging management in economically, as well as ecologically, sustainable ways is the long-term answer to holding on to the maximum biodiversity across the rangelands of the western U.S. The conservancy...

Settlements 81 Introduction
Last Updated on Sat, 22 Jun 2019	| Emission Factors
This Chapter provides methods for estimating carbon stock changes and greenhouse gas emissions and removals associated with changes in biomass, dead organic matter (DOM), and soil carbon on lands classified as settlements. Settlements are defined in Chapter 3 as including all developed land -- i.e., residential, transportation, commercial, and production (commercial, manufacturing) infrastructure of any size, unless it is already included under other land-use categories. The land-use category Settlements includes soils, herbaceous perennial vegetation such as turf grass and garden plants, trees in rural settlements, homestead gardens and urban areas. Examples of settlements include land along streets, in residential (rural and urban) and commercial lawns, in public and private gardens, in golf courses and athletic fields, and in parks, provided such land is functionally or administratively associated with particular cities, villages or other settlement types and is not accounted for...
Feral Sheep And Pigs On Santa Cruz Island
Last Updated on Wed, 06 Apr 2016	| Ecosystem Engineering
Abundance of feral sheep on SCI in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was at least 50,000 (Van Vuren 1981). Ongoing attempts were made to control or contain the herd with roundups, hunting, and fencing, but these efforts had limited success. The sheep population remained largely unchecked until 1981, and anecdotal information indicates there were substantial fluctuations in their abundance (Van Vuren 1981). There are no data on pig abundance on SCI prior to the 1990s, but ranchers' memoirs provide clear evidence there were years when their population was very high. Rooting was extensive, especially in vineyards and agricultural areas, as well as oak woodlands and grasslands.
Choice of activity data
Last Updated on Wed, 06 Apr 2016	| Emission Factors
Optimally, national usage statistics for carbonate lime would be available to determine the amount applied annually to soils (M). These data provide the most direct inference on application. Alternatively, annual sales of carbonate lime may be used to infer the amount that is applied to soils, under the assumption that all lime sold to farmers, ranchers, foresters, etc. is applied during that year. It is also possible to approximate carbonate lime application based on lime availability on an annual basis. Availability is computed based on the new supply for that year (annual domestic mining and import records) minus exports and usage in industrial processes. In the last approach, it is assumed that all available lime is applied in the year of interest.
Species Diversity Richness
Last Updated on Mon, 22 Feb 2016	| Soil Solarization
Species or plant diversity varies from place to place and are largely influenced by the ecological and socioeconomic factors. It varies among the homesteads even within the similar ecological and socioeconomic groups depending upon individual needs and preferences. The plants grown in the homesteads are broadly classified into food (fruits, vegetables, spices), timber (timber and fuel wood), medicinal, and ornamental species. Irrespective of homestead size, farm category, and location, food fruit producing species dominate over any other functional groups followed by timber, ornamental and medicinal species (Millat-e-Mustafa et al. 1996 Bashar 1999 Basak 2002). Bashar (1999) in his study conducted at the central part of Bangladesh (Gazipur district) identified a total of 105 useful species in homestead in which 44 were recorded as food fruit species either perennial or annual, 28 timber, 15 medicinal and 18 ornamental. Similarly, Basak (2002) in a recent study covering 15 different...

Spatial Arrangement of Vegetation
Thu, 19 May 2016	| Soil Solarization
The homestead irrespective of ecologically distinct locations has a multilayered spatial arrangement of vegetation (Fig. 16.7). Vegetation layer varies from homestead to homestead, which may usually range from three to five (Yoshino 1996 Ahmed 1999 Bashar 1999 Basak 2002 Hussain and Miah 2004) and even up to Fig. 16.5 Backyard of a homestead with vegetables, fruit, and timber species Fig. 16.5 Backyard of a homestead with vegetables, fruit, and timber species Fig. 16.6 Homestead boundary having trees and shrubs with varying canopy structures Fig. 16.6 Homestead boundary having trees and shrubs with varying canopy structures Fig. 16.7 Spatial arrangement of vegetation in a homestead showing 5-6 different layers of plant species Fig. 16.7 Spatial arrangement of vegetation in a homestead showing 5-6 different layers of plant species
Effect Of Species Diversity On Ecosystem Function
Fri, 01 Jul 2016	| Biodiversity
In wet oligotrophy savannas, ranching does not result in bush encroachment. Rather, because of the increased frequency of burning by ranchers anxious to encourage early resprouting of savanna grasses, woody species are likely to decrease with ranching. In dry savannas with relatively good nutrient levels and good forage quality, overgrazing significantly reduces the grass layer and standing dead biomass during the dry season. This reduces fire frequency and allows the encroachment of unpalatable woody species that eventually displace the herbaceous vegetation. In the nutrient-poor oligotrophic savannas, low-quality forage does not allow a very high animal load so that fuel load is not reduced significantly, permitting yearly or other-yearly fires that reduce the establishment of woody species. This is confirmed by studies conducted in the Argentinian Chaco (Morello and Saravia 1959 Morello 1970). If grass is permitted to establish, and cattle are not allowed to roam freely but arc...

Nevada del Ruiz Colombia 1985
Tue, 17 Jan 2017	| Plate Tectonics
Nevada del Ruiz had experienced a year of intermittent precursory activity that indicated an eruption might occur, and the volcano was being studied by a group of Colombian geologists at the time of the eruption. At 3 05 p.m. on November 13, 1985, ranchers north of the volcano heard a low rumbling and observed a plume of black ash rise from the volcano and fall on the town of Armero, 45 miles (72 km) away about two hours later. By 4 00 p.m., local civil defense officials warned that an eruption was in progress and recommended that towns including Armero, Honda, and others be ready for immediate evacuation. After several hours of meetings the Red Cross ordered the evacuation of Armero at 7 30 p.m. Residents did not, however, hear the orders, and did not understand the danger moving their way.
Conclusion Of Soil Of Bangladesh
The review and discussion cited in this paper on different aspects of homestead agroforestry production system revealed that it appeared a potential area for improving production and income of the rural households of Bangladesh. The paper clearly stated how homestead agroforestry production system meets the diversified needs of the rural households through production of a wide variety of agricultural (food crops, vegetables, spices, fodder, etc.) and forest tree products (fruits, timber, fuelwood, etc.) as well as medicinal plants The paper also cited how each and every niches of the homestead (micro-sites) are being utilized by the households especially by the resource poor farmers women. Though the homestead agro-forestry production system in Bangladesh has been playing important role in rural economy of Bangladesh from the time immemorial, but the pressure of the ever-increasing population on homestead land and the rapidly changing social and economical conditions of the people...

Y., have been imported into southeastern Colorado for application to dry land wheat, grassland, and reclamation sites. The Colorado Department of Health and the EPA have issued land application permits for about 7700 ha (19,000 ac). Annual precipitation in the area averages 36 cm. Biosolids from this project were used to reclaim a 104 ha (258 ac) sand blowout on private land near Granada, Colorado. The sandy dunes began as a 12 ha (30 ac) area subject to wind erosion. Like the many other blowouts in the Arkansas River valley, the dunes resisted all previous efforts at reclamation. Dewatered biosolids were mixed with wood chips and seeded with an improved range grass mixture. Approximately 4500 dry tons of the biosolid mixture were applied at rates of 20 and 40 dry tons ac. This site has shown rapid germination and establishment of grasses. Biosolids were also applied to dry land wheat and range grass in the area. The inability to provide sufficient...

Water projects designed by the Bureau of Land Reclamation diverted rivers and resources from all over the West. In the years between 1911 and 1923 the California water department under the leadership of William Mulholland quietly purchased most of the water rights to the Owens Valley at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, then constructed a 233-mile (373km) long aqueduct to bring this water to Los Angeles. When the local owens Valley ranchers saw their water supplies dry up, they repeatedly dynamited the aqueduct, until Mulholland effectively declared war on the ranchers of the owens Valley, protecting the aqueduct with a massive show of armed forces. This was the beginning of the present-day California aqueduct system, forming the branch known as the Los Angeles aqueduct.

Indirect GHG Impacts of Biofuels Policies
Fri, 05 Jul 2019	| Kyoto Protocol
Given the global nature of the market for agricultural commodities, global agricultural models are required to measure the indirect GHG implications of biofuels. The results of selected models are now reviewed. A study of impacts of US corn-based ethanol production found that, instead of generating 20 percent savings in GHG emissions, it nearly doubles them over a 30-year period. Forest and grassland conversion that released large quantities of GHGs was accelerated by the higher crop prices. Brazilian sugarcane ethanol is credited with high direct savings of GHGs because bagasse, the waste product of crushing, is used to fuel the process. Nevertheless, GHGs will increase if Brazilian ranchers displaced by sugarcane convert more forest to pasture (Searchinger et al., 2008). Another global study by Fargione et al. (2008) showed how carbon debts were incurred by the clearing of rainforests, peatlands, savannahs or grasslands to produce biofuel crops in Brazil, south-east Asia and the US....

Deforestation, however, reduces the number of trees and plants and so weakens the capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide. The greenhouse effect and deforestation are, therefore, a mutually reinforcing feedback loop that intensifies global warming. Conservation biologists point to ranchers as contributors to the greenhouse effect. By overgrazing the land, cattle further reduce the number of plants and weaken their capacity to absorb carbon dioxide.

For example, in some parts of Australia, climate change has brought more rain, enabling some ranchers to support larger herds of cattle because their ranges have been more productive growing grass, and the farmers are benefitting from the extra productivity. Other northern locations in Canada and Russia will be better able to produce agricultural goods, but climatologists warn that areas of benefit will be few, far between, and sporadic and will be insignificant in comparison to the overall negative effects of global warming.
Mode of Plantation
Tree plantation in homestead by the households is influenced by either demand of the tree (demand-driven) or supply of the planting materials (supply-driven) or both. A recent finding across the four ecological regions of Bangladesh showed that about 48 plantations were demand-driven, 42 supply-driven, and 10 both demand-and supply-driven (Basak 2002). He also found a distinct variation in the mode of plantation by farm categories, where demand-driven mode of plantation increased with the increase of farm size, while supply-driven mode of plantation increased with the decrease of farm size. The findings indicated that poorer group of farmers were guided by supply-driven mode because of their poor socioeconomic status, while the larger group of farmers were guided by demand-driven mode because of their better financial capacity to buy the demanded ones. Therefore, homestead of resource poor farmers may be enriched with economic plants if the supply of desired planting materials could...

Q: Controlling an instance's state with AtomicBoolean I need to ensure that a particular start and stop code is executed only once per instance lifecycle, and that the instance cannot be "restarted". Is the following code adequate for a scenario where multiple threads may be acting upon the instance?
public final class MyRunnable {
    private final AtomicBoolean active = new AtomicBoolean(false);
    private final AtomicBoolean closed = new AtomicBoolean(false);

    public void start() {
      if (closed.get()) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("Already closed!");
      }
      if (active.get()) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("Already running!");
      }

      active.set(true);

      // My one-time start code.

      // My runnable code.
    }

    public void stop() {
      if (closed.get()) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("Already stopped!");
      }
      if (!active.get()) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("Stopping or already stopped!");
      }

      active.set(false);

      // My one-time stop code.

      closed.set(true);
    }
}

A: I would go with a single 3-valued status for two reasons.
Firstly, out of the 4 possible values of the active,closed "tuple" only 3 make sense, setting both to true results in a (possibly benign, but nevertheless) invalid state. You may dismiss it as pure pedantry, but a clear design often brings other benefits.
This leads us neatly to the second, scarier reason:
 active.set(false);
 // <-- what if someone calls start() here?
 closed.set(true); //I assume you wanted to set it to true

As you can see from my comment, you've got a vulnerable spot there, someone could conceivably call start() after you've set active to false but before you set closed to true.
Now you may just say "okay, let's swap the two then and set closed first", but then you have to explain why the two would definitely not be reordered by the JVM. And you'll end up with potentially both flags set to true, resulting in the "invalid state" outlined above.
There is another, separate problem here: the pattern you follow is to call get() to check the value and then set() it to something else later. As PetrosP pointed it out, this isn't an atomic operation, you can call start() a 1000 times with all of them seeing active as false. You need to use compareAndSet instead, which is atomic (this is the whole point of the Atomic* classes), and thus guarantees that only one thread can ever advance the status flag.
So let's combine the two, using a single 3-valued status (I've used  AtomicInteger for simplicity, but you can use AtomicReference and a true enum) and compareAndSet():
public final class MyRunnable {
    private static final int READY_TO_START = 0;
    private static final int ACTIVE = 1;
    private static final int STOPPED = 2;
    private final AtomicInteger status = new AtomicInteger(READY_TO_START);

    public void start() {
      if (!status.compareAndSet(READY_TO_START, ACTIVE)) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("Already started");
      }

      // My one-time start code.
    }

    public void stop() {
        if (!status.compareAndSet(ACTIVE, STOPPED)) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Can't stop, either not started or already stopped");
        }

      // My one-time stop code.
    }
}

A: This solution is not sufficient. Consider tis scenario: Two threads go in start() at the same time. One calls active.get() and it gets false returned. Then the second one calls active.get() and it gets false as well. In this case they will both continue. Then the first one will set active to true. The second one at that point will also set active to true, and they will both continue to the rest of the code that should be run once.
A solution could be this:
public final class MyRunnable {
    private final AtomicBoolean active = new AtomicBoolean(false);
    private final AtomicBoolean closed = new AtomicBoolean(false);

    public void start() {
        synchronized (this) {
            if (closed.get()) {
                throw new IllegalStateException("Already closed!");
            }
            if (active.get()) {
                throw new IllegalStateException("Already running!");
            }

            active.set(true);
        }

        // My one-time start code.

        // My runnable code.
    }

    public void stop() {
        synchronized (this) {
            if (closed.get()) {
                throw new IllegalStateException("Already stopped!");
            }
            if (!active.get()) {
                throw new IllegalStateException("Stopping or already stopped!");
            }

            // My one-time stop code.

            closed.set(false);
            active.set(false);
        }
    }
}

Google Chrome's rival, the UC Browser on Wednesday introduced a new iteration of the mobile browser that focuses on data compression, user privacy and videos.
UCWeb says its new UC Browser 12.0 consumes 50% lesser mobile data and buffers with zero time lag as the browser has been optimised for faster video consumption.
The browser has been further optimised for lower-end phones, with faster video loading and download of top websites, pre-loading of video information flow.
The UC Browser now supports VP9 Codec video coding format, which the company claims to help save up to 50% data as compared to the previous version without losing any quality.
VP9 is an open and royalty-free video coding format that has been developed by Google and is aimed at faster video streaming. It has been optimised for videos with resolution higher than full HD. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox already use this encoding on their mobile browsers.
With video consumption growing by 60% on UC Browser, the latest iteration of the mobile browser now allows users to download and stream a video at the same time. There's a new preview on a thumbnail of the videos allowing users to make a better decision on whether to download the video or not.
The UC Browser 12.0 addresses concerns regarding the recently disclosed serious CPU vulnerabilities, Spectre and Meltdown.
With an upgraded core U4 Kernel, the UC Browser is now capable of running websites without hogging resources of RAM – a key painpoint for several Google Chrome users. The UCWeb says the new feature allows browser to smoothly function on phones with RAM size as low as 1GB or 2GB.
Apart from the new features, the UC Web announced that its mobile browser had gone past 130 million monthly active users in India while videos are becoming increasingly popular category on the platform, mostly known for its data compression technology.
According to statcounter, a third-party browser monitoring platform, the UC Browser was the top mobile browser in India between January 2017 and January 2018. Last month, the UC Browser owned 43.27% mobile browser market share in India followed by Google Chrome with 35.73%.


Listen, one of the worst ways you can repay someone for an extremely thoughtful gift is to feature them on your blog. I'm sorry Tony, learning to throw pots was just too much damn fun. Please forgive me.
This adventure began as a Christmas present: Tony handed us a beautiful, handmade plate with a note saying he would teach us how to make our own bowls. I more or less assumed we would be watching Tony create something, which was already one of the sweetest gifts I'd already received — but he invited us to sit at his wheel as he talked us through every step of the process.
He even had an entire slab of clay with our names on it.
The process is slightly intimidating but incredibly fun. It is also cathartically messy.
I honestly did not expect to walk away with something even resembling a bowl on my first try, but thanks to Tony's expert guidance, Dan and I were both successful.
Tony has invited us back again soon to try our hand at a few more pots while we still remember what we've learned. Eventually we will trim our bowls of excess clay, fire them in Tony's garage kiln, glaze them (painted and strengthened), then fire them again at an even higher temperature. And then wash them and fill them with ice cream, I assume.
Tony is the kind of guy who rolls his eyes and shoos me away when I try to tell him how sweet and thoughtful and smart and interesting and kind I think he is — but if I write it here I don't see what he can really do about it. Thank you, Tony! You're one of my favorite people on the planet! Teach me how to make a porcelain trophy that says WORLD'S GREATEST TONY!

MLP Week Thoughts: Its Not a Too-mah
This week's employment release was better than expected, sending stocks higher, and saving MLPs them from a second straight weekly decline. The MLP Index got back some of what it lost last week with a 1.4% gain, but is still 4.0% from its May 22 peak. Just about all of its week over week gains happened Friday, when the index was up 1.4%. Yield on 10-year treasuries, which closed last week at its 52-week high, dropped down to 2.075% Thursday before spiking again to just below last week's close. Crude was up 4.4% for the week, which helped propane end the week slightly higher than last week. Natural gas was down 3.9% week over week, which probably contributed to ethane finishing the week below $0.26/gallon for the first time since late February.
With MLPs back to their winning ways, expect to see more capital markets activity (i.e. equity deals) in the coming week. I think MLPs will again take their cues from the broader stock market this week, which hopefully will uncover buying opportunities like we saw Wednesday and Thursday of this week. As mentioned last week, MLPs tend to bounce following a 4%+ down week, then drop big in the subsequent week.
I don't have much else to say, being a bit distracted this weekend following my mother-in-law's successful tumor removal surgery Friday in Houston. She had a tumor the size of two fists in her thigh, but its out now and she is recovering well. I need her to make a full recovery as soon as possible so she can resume baby sitting duties, especially now that school's out for the summer. The clip below sort of combines the tumor and childcare talk above…
It's Not a Tumor! Kindergarten Cop at MOVIECLIPS.com
I am working on improving the site and getting my old posts organized better. We've indexed all the posts and will have in place an easier way to navigate to your favorite classic posts on MLPs.
We had a broad range of winners and losers this week. Most of the MLPs below didn't release any news this week, but the leader, LRE, provided an operational update on its second quarter production that helped it take the top spot after its 9.8% drop last week. XTEX and GLP were both in the bottom five last week, and rode the market strength back up this week. OXF, volatile as usual, was down 13.7% after being in the top 5 last week. Also notable gainer this week (+12%) was Constellation Energy (CEP), which I don't include in my Winners and Losers list because it trades below $3 and pays no distribution. CEP is now up more than 76% YTD. Pretty soon, I'll stop keeping such close track of OXF, because it trades just above $3/unit and pays no distribution…
OXF reclaimed its bottom spot in terms of YTD returns. LINE escaped the bottom five, replaced by OKS. There are only 6 MLPs that have produced negative returns YTD. SMLP and AMID remained the top two MLP performers.
MLPs are still out front of stocks for the year so far, behind just MLP GPs, which are up nearly 24%. Variable distribution MLPs outperformed the MLP Index this week, helped by an 11.4% gain from EMES, which benefited from initiation research reports from various banks following their IPO quiet period.
There was little news this week outside of the SMLP offices. SMLP announced two acquisitions simultaneously, its first drop down and first third party acquisitions. These acquisitions came on the heels of upwardly revised guidance in mid-May, so its been quite a coming out party here in 2Q 2013.
There were no equity deals this week, just SEP's announcement that they would be filing an ATM agreement. There was some IPO news with Devon announcing plans to launch a midstream MLP IPO process with plans to file the initial registration statement in 3Q 2012 (Bloomberg).
Spectra Energy Partners (SEP) announces plans to file an equity distribution agreement to sell up to $200mm at the market
Buckeye Partners (BPL) prices $500mm of 4.15% senior notes due 2023 at 99.81% of par
JV partners Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP) and TransMontaigne (TLP) announce a $54mm, 900,000-barrel expansion at the 185-acre Battleground Oil Specialty Terminal Company, LLC (BOSTCO) (press release)
Expansion includes six, 150,000-barrel, ultra sulphur diesel tanks, additional pipeline and deepwater vessel dock access, and high-speed loading at a rate of 30,000 barrels/hour
Expected to be in-service by 4Q 2014 following the start of commercial operations at the previously announced $485mm BOSTCO oil terminal in 3Q 2013
Summit Midstream (SMLP) announces $250mm drop down acquisition of Bison Midstream, LLC in the Bakken Shale (press release)
Bison system consists of 300 miles of low-pressure and high-pressure gas gathering pipelines and six compressor stations
Minimum volume commitments from anchor shippers representing 80% of projected annual revenue
Was funded with $200mm of borrowings and $50mm of common units at $31.53/unit
Summit Midstream (SMLP) announces $210mm acquisition of a high pressure natural gas gathering system located in the liquids-rich window of the Marcellus Shale play from Markwest Energy (MWE)
Assets, primarily located in Doddridge County , WV, consists of over 40 miles of newly constructed gathering pipelines, two compressor stations with 21,000 horsepower of compression
Expected to close 6/30/13 to be funded with credit facility borrowings
Inergy (NRGY) announces completion of Tres Palacios header pipeline extension (press release)

At least two people killed as cyclone bears down on India's east coast

BHUBANESWAR, India (Reuters) – A tornado ripped through eastern India on Tuesday, killing at least two people and damaging dozens of homes as a powerful cyclone neared the coast, officials said, while authorities tried to move over a million people to safety from low-lying areas.
Cyclone Yaas was powering across the Bay of Bengal and would batter the eastern states of Odisha and West Bengal, and also Bangladesh, on Wednesday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
"It is likely to cause large-scale damage," IMD chief Mrutyunjay Mohapatra told Reuters by telephone.
A freak tornado that some experts said was linked to the incoming storm snapped electricity lines, which electrocuted two people, and damaged around 45 houses in West Bengal's Hooghly district, a government official said.
In all, the state had already moved around 900,000 people in several coastal districts to storm shelters, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee told reporters.
But neighboring Odisha state appeared likely to face the brunt of Cyclone Yaas – the second cyclone to hit the country in a week – where officials also began moving people in cars and boats into storm shelters and other sturdy structures.
Pregnant women and children were sent to government hospitals, as fishermen shifted boats to safety inland.
In Odisha's Balasore district, close to where the cyclone is expected to make landfall, volunteers broadcast alerts over megaphones, urging people to move.
"Evacuation is always a challenge. In general, there is a reluctance … this time we have COVID," said Vishal Kumar Dev, an official overseeing relief efforts in Balasore.
"Often people say, 'We'll go only when the rain increases.' We're convincing them."
Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal are common at this time of year, and often roar ashore, causing deaths and destruction in coastal areas of both India and Bangladesh.
Last week, Cyclone Tauktae – the most powerful cyclone to hit India's west cost in more than two decades – killed more than 150 people.
A devastating second wave of coronavirus infections complicated storm preparations. Officials in Odisha said they were conducting antigen tests and temperature checks, and isolating people with COVID-19 symptoms.

Sappho: The Dangerous and Desirable Educated Woman
by Ava de Cenizas
Born six hundred years before the common era, Sappho exists solely within two poems and a few lyrical fragments. As a result, the contours of her story reflect the feverish desires of the paternalistic Greco-Roman culture more than any accurate historical knowledge of the preeminent poetess herself.[1] Her admirers lauded her poetry. Plato, theorized as a proto-feminist, called Sappho the tenth Muse. In more modern times, the early Church transformed her titillating love of women into the perversions of a pre-Christian culture. But to us, she shows another face: Sappho as the educated woman lighting the way for a younger generation.
We know that Sappho was born in mid 600 B.C.E.[2] She spent a sizable portion of her life in the city of Mytilene on the island of Lesbos. Despite the speculations of her sexuality, Sappho was likely married, although not to Kerkylas of Andros, a coarse joke from Sappho's afterlife in Roman comedy. The name roughly translates to "Dick All-cock from the Isle of Man."[3] Her daughter was named Cleis. She had several brothers. Or so we think.
Literate, Sappho belonged to an elite family. The dialect Aeolic her medium, she wrote and sung in a sophisticated meter that now carries her name, Sapphic. The subject, often the love of a woman:
Iridescent-throned Aphrodite, deathless
Child of Zeus, wile-weaver, I now implore you,
Don't–I beg you, Lady–with pains and torments
Crush down my spirit….
And to Sappho, Aphrodite promises:
Now she runs away, but she'll soon pursue you;
Gifts she now rejects–soon enough she'll give them;
Now she doesn't love you, but soon her heart will
Burn, though unwilling….[4]
Did Sappho cultivate young naïve women as her acolytes? Did she indoctrinate them into the cult of the goddess of love? Did the "her" in Sappho's lines even exist?
The true nature of this salacious love has swamped discussion of Sappho's relation to major cultural and political forces on Lesbos during her lifetime. But recent scholarly work attempts to extract Sappho from the hedonism. She is enthroned as the leading member of a circle of highly educated, aristocrat women bound by love, loyalty, and polity. Sappho's words now seem clever political criticisms of rival families rather than frivolous love. Amid the conflict in Mytilene, Sappho and her family fled Lesbos for southern Italy, willingly or banished.[5]
Every new discovery of her lyrics tucked away in the lining of a sarcophagus tantalizes us with more hints, not answers. The "true" Sappho remains veiled.
But she is not lost. If "[e]very age creates its own Sappho" as the "metonym for all women," then from her sparse history, let us reclaim this. In a sphere dominated by the erudite male, who pontificated on all aspects of society, including the woman's role, Sappho seized power through the act of writing and song .[6] And those stodgy men expressed "rapturous admiration for her exquisite style."[7] Even if the ensuing two thousand years have garbled the message, Sappho's impact remains indelible on Western literature. Whether she wrote luscious poetry to beguile her female lover or as political satire, Sappho spoke her own truth. So should we in our own writing.

Q: Zoom causes (heavy) problems in Bing Maps with polylines Hello i have some problems with the Bing Map control.
If i zoom to near to the polylines they begin to disappear (from bottom to top and from right to left)
The Polylines are generated dynamically with an ItemsControl (that one which is included in the maps namespace) bound to a collection of my own LocationData from ViewModel thats converted by a IValueConverter to the map specific LocationPoints.
Some values that are not accessible from ViewModel are set in the loaded event.
The map and the container stretch over the whole screen.
So if the lines begin to disappear and i zoom out via a button in my ApplicationBar
private void ZoomOut_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    map1.ZoomLevel -= 1.0;
}

the Application exits without exception...
I have tested it on a real device with and without debugger and the debugger only says that he have lost the connection to the device.
Anyone have this or similar problems and hopefully solved it?
Thanks for any help.
PS: My LocationData contains approximately 100 - 200 points that are split up to 3 - 7 lines that can't be to much or?

A: Yes, hundreds of points is too much, but that's the least of your problems. The way you have coded this, you are reconverting and replotting your points every time there is a pan or zoom.

*

*Don't use the type converter. Convert your points once, cache the converted points and bind to the converted points.

*Research quadtrees and how they apply to culling your point set in proportion to zoom level.

*Apply a clipping rectangle. In my experience, half a degree larger each side of your display region works well.

*Study the Bing map event model and redesign your code so that you only cull, clip and plot when map manipulation stops.

*Ideally, write your cull, clip and plot logic so that it is asynch and can be signalled to abort so that if manipulation restarts before cull, clip and plot is finished, it can be aborted and restarted.

Using the techniques above I am able to get performance comparable to the built-in map.

Erika L. Sánchez on Borders, Bodies, and Writing Her Parents' Stories
The Lessons on Expulsions Poet in Conversation with Safiya Sinclair
By Safiya Sinclair
Erika L. Sánchez speaks my language. She reads her womanhood as a text that can be deciphered and, in Lessons on Expulsion, dives into the wreck with an unfaltering gaze, equally piercing and tender. Here, the body is heavy with summer's fecundity, sorrow skulks the blank space of sticky days, and the heat between lovers unpeels from the pages. All is painfully past and breathlessly present. Here the tongue divides across countries, across centuries and continents, but in this painful forking Sánchez also finds the source of her immense power. Herself behind herself, concealed.
For her, beauty and violence are two sides of the same coin. She fingers the wounds of her disappeared history, offering her throat to the voiceless and unseen. Sánchez's gorgeous lyric, striking and unflinching imagery, and singular voice illuminate each page. In Lessons on Expulsion, the painterly eye, as with the florid womb, holds worlds, whole universes, lost history, disappeared names, and forgotten language. But what has been lost is resurrected by Sánchez's solemn incantation, her fever-dream pinning you long after you close the book.
I spoke with Erika about her spectacular debut collection.
Safiya Sinclair: There is a marked dichotomy in Lessons on Expulsion between the sacred and profane, between the visceral and the virtuous, between the violent and vulnerable. How intentional was your poetic examination of these boundaries, exploring where the sacred and profane blur and clash in the book?
Erika L. Sánchez: I never really thought about the work in that way. I've always been fascinated with ambiguity, the in-betweenness of things. Now that I reflect on this, I realize I try to understand the full range of the human experience through my work. I'm Buddhist, and part of the philosophy is that all people are capable of reaching Buddhahood. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone has the potential to be good, so I'm fascinated by the circumstances that cause people to abandon their humanity and inflict violence upon themselves, others, and the environment.
Another Buddhist concept relevant to the collection is "changing poison into medicine." By virtue of being human, we're going to suffer—that's inevitable—but the most important question is what are we going to do with that suffering. How are we going to respond to the terrible things that happen to us? How can we find meaning and beauty in it? Can we transform it?
SS: So the present here is a deep mourning—a loss of language, a culture that widens the divide between you and history, you and your country, you and your family. "With your hybrid mouth, your split tongue." How did you embody or embrace this mourning?
ELS: There's a line by Gloria Anzaldúa: "this is her home / this thin edge of barb wire," which encapsulates my reality as the daughter of Mexican immigrants. It's a common story, the feeling of dislocation. We don't belong to either culture. As I've grown older, instead of feeling resentful and frustrated, I've learned to make a home of this place. I have an accent in both languages, for instance, and that's ok. However, I do mourn the inevitable loss of my Mexican culture. No matter how much I want to cling to certain aspects of it, my children will not experience it as I did. I suppose the book is both a way to explore the liminal space I've occupied and a way to preserve this very specific American experience. In a sense, I had to leave home to have perspective and better understand it. I also very much lament what the drug wars have done to Mexico. It has changed the landscape, instilled fear, and destroyed populations. It's completely transformed since I was a child. Back then our hometown in Mexico felt like an idyllic place. Now people are afraid to be out after dark.
SS: I love the unapologetic way you write about the body—about female sexuality, desire, guilt, and the shadow of patriarchal shame around these themes. How vital was tackling these issues in the poems, especially as a woman of color?
ELS: Thank you. That is actually one of the many things I loved about your collection as well. "Center of the World" is one of my favorite poems of all time, and most recently the poem "Hymen Elegy" in Granta kicked me in the heart. I think we have similar experiences. I grew up feeling great shame about my body. I believe this internalized misogyny comes from many places. The virgin-whore dichotomy, for example, is deeply rooted in Latin American culture as a result of colonialism. This is not to say it was a heyday for women before the conquest—most indigenous civilizations also subjugated women—but Catholicism brought its own brand of patriarchy. The veneration of the virgen de Guadalupe really facilitated the hatred of women as sexual beings.
I was frustrated growing up because I saw scantily clad women on Spanish language television while simultaneously being told that sex and anything related to it was sinful. I didn't understand why we had to live in these binaries. Adding to this, women of color in American culture are often perceived as hyper-sexual. For black women this can be traced back to slavery. And if you google image search "Latina . . . " well, you can imagine what you find. We are constantly objectified. Sex is the most natural thing in the world, and yet we have so many hang ups about it. It was important to me to confront this form of oppression. It has taken my entire adult life to undo this damage and I'm hoping that my work can help other women wrestle with these issues. We are too often told that we're not allowed to desire when it's simply a part of being human.
SS: So much of Lessons on Expulsion beautifully bears witness and pays tribute to people who are often overlooked in poetry and literature at large—the poor, the disenfranchised, the disappeared. Where does lyric poetry and the journalistic eye intersect for you? How do they inform each other in the process?
ELS: I write a lot about violence—physical, emotional, economic, psychic, racial, the list goes on. I've witnessed and researched many forms of oppression, and the consequent indignation I feel is manifested in all of my writing. Some believe cruelty is human nature, but I sincerely believe we can do better. I use writing not only to document suffering, but also to imagine other possibilities. One thing I've learned from living with depression is finding meaning in pain. I'm always asking myself, where is the hope? I care about the stories that are not being told, and I dedicate my life to making them known.
At the same time, however, I know that as an individual, there is only so much I can do, and I have a responsibility to share the platform I've been given. I've been inspired by my mentor Rigoberto González who is always promoting the work of emerging writers. He is a great model. I also think a lot about Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's TedTalk, "The Danger of a Single Story." We need more storytellers. The publishing world is changing, but not fast enough. I have many privileges now. I'm teaching at an ivy league school and my work has been reviewed in several distinguished outlets. Perhaps I'm idealistic, but I want to use whatever influence I have to make the world better.
"I use writing not only to document suffering, but also to imagine other possibilities."
SS: I found the lushness of your imagery, sweepingly beautiful and intoxicating. It was so painterly! Who are some of your artistic influences, and what other Latinx writers and painters inspire you?
ELS: Thank you! I love, love, love visual art. I was obsessed with the Art Institute when I was a kid and spent many afternoons there. I was enamored with Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Georgia O'Keefe, and Artemesia Gentileschi, to name a few. When I got a Fulbright to Madrid after college, I pretty much lost my mind over the art I was exposed to. (The Prado and the Reina Sofía were walking distance from my apartment.) I'm fascinated by Goya, particularly The Black Paintings, which include Saturn Devouring His Son, referenced in my poem "Letter from New York." The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch really knocks me out everytime I look at it. While in Europe, I got to see other favorites, such as Olympia by Manet and basically all paintings by Gaugin and Van Gogh. I've also been influenced by Ana Mendieta, Nan Goldin, and Kiki Smith. The image I used for my cover is a painting by Chicana artist Judithe Herandez, who is amazing. I'm very much drawn to work that explores womanhood and the human body.
As far as Latinx writers go, my mentors Eduardo Corral and Rigoberto González have been inspirational to me. I also admire the work of Natalie Scenters-Zapico, Javier Zamora, and Marcelo Hernandez Castillo. There is an increasing visibility of Latinx writers right now, which I find very exciting.
SS: These poems startle and excite me with their visceral honesty, how the body is unabashedly examined and dissected for the reader. It also struck me that so much of the body's desires here burn towards doubt and towards death. How do you approach such a flame on the page? Was there any difficulty in mapping the complex interior of these desires?
ELS: When I taught in a summer writing program last year, I told my students that I wanted them to see the class as an invitation to vulnerability. That's what I want my poems to be. For me, poetry is a place where I can dwell in my truth, no matter how ugly or unflattering it may be. I think it's obvious when a writer is relying on ego and being inauthentic. I never noticed this tension between desire and death before you pointed it out, however. Thank you for that. Now as I reflect on this I realize that as a woman, particularly as a brown woman, I've been conditioned to believe my hopes and desires are not valid. People often believe we only exist to serve others, so it makes sense that there is trepidation in the act of wanting. That feeling is where the last line of "Saudade" comes from "who gave me / permission be this person to drag / my misfortune on this leash made of gold." I've never been given permission to be who I am. I had to fight for it.
SS: A lot of the book is a living travelogue—places the speaker has lived, places her body has encountered another. Speak more about this complication of the body as a pockmarked map, how the world's history and geography is experienced through the body, through poetry?
ELS: I have always wanted to see the world, ever since I was a kid, and I'm incredibly lucky to be able to move so freely. This isn't common where I come from. In my travels I started thinking about what my body means in different spaces, the ways in which I'm othered and objectified, but also how I'm able to blend in and be an observer or voyeur. My racial ambiguity is definitely a privilege in most instances. I'm Latinx with relatively light skin, so I know I am treated very differently than if I were black. I think it's important for both non-black and white Latinos to remember this. We don't experience oppression in the same ways.
I also think of the history that I've inherited through my body. The conquest of the Americas was incredibly brutal and, of course, included sexual violence. Some scientific studies have found that trauma can be passed down through generations, which I find fascinating. I come from a long line of disenfranchised people. My grandmothers were poor and had very little agency. I try to honor their experiences through my writing.
SS: As a Mexican-American poet, and the daughter of immigrants, how important is tracing the ancestral wound through poetry, as the discrimination immigrants face in America continues to intensify?
ELS: We're living in scary times. That is not to say that everything was great prior to the election; there were mass deportations during the Obama administration. However, Trump has given people permission to vocalize and act on their hate. My parents were fortunate enough to get amnesty under Reagan, and they eventually become citizens. That's almost inconceivable now. I write so much about borders because they've defined my life in many ways. As a child I heard dangerous border crossing experiences and witnessed adults worry over their papers. Undocumented immigrants live in perpetual fear of being separated from their families. I think it's important to document these experiences in any way I can. I really resent that we have to be humanized through art, but I think it's necessary. I'm hoping that through my poetry collection and my novel, readers can learn to empathize with people from my community.
SS: The way you tackle the cultural and linguistic separation of young Mexican-Americans from their parents really struck me here—the fact that some children of immigrants have enough time to experience ennui. How do you make sense of this nomadic placelessness, the desire to travel the world, this strange new privilege?
ELS: When my depression got particularly severe in high school, my parents were understandably perplexed. I had food and shelter; what else could I need? At that age they had long dropped out of school to help support their families, and here I was sad and angry because I felt misunderstood. I've discussed this with other writers who are children of immigrants. It is a very strange existence at times. Both of my parents worked in factories when I was growing up. I hope I've internalized some of their work ethic, but the work I do is completely different. I don't have to punch in a clock or lift heavy objects. This was not the case for most of my life, but I live very comfortably at the moment. I just moved to New Jersey for my fellowship. and I'm spending most of my days promoting my books, completing a collection of essays, traveling, and working on a creative project. I have the luxury to sit and wonder about the ineffable. I'm truly lucky and sometimes I do feel guilty about it. But at the same time, this kind of life allows me to write my parents' stories.
SS: Tell me more about the title "Lessons on Expulsion," and its importance to the arc of the poems, how it references both the internal actions of the body as well as the external forces causing the body's unbelonging. Was this always the title?
ELS: I've always been very passionate about reproductive rights. The poem began when I got into a rabbit hole of research on abortion practices throughout history. Women will stop at nothing to have control over their own bodies. It's astounding that we're still fighting for this very basic human right. Much of the collection deals with women fighting for bodily autonomy, but "expulsion" has other meanings too. It refers to deportations, the feeling of alienation, and even catharsis, which culminates in the last poem "Six Months After Contemplating Suicide." The collection had several titles, all of which felt off. It wasn't until I wrote this poem that I knew I had found the right one.
SS: As a multigenre writer, what is your typical writing process like? Is it easy to make a switch between poetry and prose?
ELS: My process really makes no sense. I don't have a regimen, a schedule, or a word count minimum.
SS: Basically, writing consumes my whole life. If I'm not reading or writing, I'm definitely thinking about it. While I'm writing, I often pace and listen to Philip Glass. I can't sit still for very long. Switching genres can be difficult for me at times. When I was writing my novel, it was all I did. Completing it felt like an emergency. I'm surprised I've been mostly working on essays this past year, and I didn't write any poetry during that time. I finally wrote a poem a few weeks ago because it was begging to come out. I see writing as something magical and I think it's important to listen to what is trying to manifest at the moment. I don't believe in churning stuff out, which is why it took me over a decade to complete the poetry collection and about four years to complete the novel. Also, I love revision.

Kaplica cmentarna św. Jadwigi w Brzegu Dolnym.

Powstała w miejscu, gdzie znajdował się kamień, na którym według tradycji w XIII w. odpoczywała św. Jadwiga Śląska w drodze ze stolicy książęcej w Legnicy do klasztoru w Trzebnicy.

Fundatorem kaplicy w 1665 r. był baron Georg Abraham von Dyhern, a budynek poświęcono 29.08.1666 r. Kaplica zbudowana została w stylu barokowym, z cegły na planie ośmioboku, z kopułą, zwieńczoną latarnią. W 1701 r. dobudowana została nawa. Do 1740 r. powstała naprzeciwko wejścia druga, mniejsza Kaplica Tajemnicy Męki Pańskiej oraz droga krzyżowa z 14 kapliczkami na drodze do miasta. Obok wzniesiono erem, zamieszkany przez jednego karmelitę z Wołowa, który miał dbać o kaplicę. Przy kaplicy powstał cmentarz.

Brak funduszy spowodował postępującą degradację budowli, która częściowo zawaliła się w 1871 r. Kaplicę odnowiono w 1881 r., zakupiono nowy dzwon. Po powstaniu w sąsiedztwie klasztoru boromeuszek, przejął on opiekę nad kaplicą, a erem rozebrano.

Po 1945 r. kaplica stopniowo niszczała; została odremontowana w 2007 r.

Lend your ear to this tale of art, history, and science.
Want to see a living piece of art history? A bioengineered replica of Vincent van Gogh's severed ear will be on display at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts in New York starting November 7th.
Dutch artist Diemut Strebe has been keeping the ear alive in a nutrient solution since she used science and the DNA of van Gogh's ancestor, Lieuwe van Gogh, to 3D print the ear for a project called Sugababe last year. Lieuwe, the great-great-grandson of Vincent's brother Theo, shares around 1/16th of the the Impressionist master's genetic material, including the Y-chromosome passed down through the male lineage. Apparently this is enough to make a facsimile of the ear that heard van Gough paint Vase with Twelve Sunflowers—though it wouldn't have heard the creation of Starry Night, which was painted post-clipping.
Oh, and as with Sugababe's debut installation at The Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany, the ear can hear you: "The input sound is connected to a computer processor, using a software program to generate simulated nerve impulses from the sound signal in real time," reads Strebe's website. "They mimic sounds recorded from an electrode inserted into the auditory nerve, when firing." So it effectively can hear, but the real question is, can it listen?
Sugababe is part of a show called Free Radicals that includes nine more of Strebe's projects that push the boundaries of art and biology. A scent installation called Social Sculpture: The Scent of Joseph Beuys emits scents based on the work of the titual performance artist. Jacob Climbed up the Sky is a one-atom-thick drawing of a ladder made from graphene, which reference's Jacob's Ladder in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Ludwig Wittgenstein. Yeast Expression looks like a normal six-pack of beers, until you find out iconic texts like The Seven Deadly Sins or Kant's What can I know? What ought I do? What may I hope? were mapped onto the yeast's genes. Beaks is a photo series of chicken embryos whose mandibles have been modified to look like those of other birds.
The surplus of artistic, literary, and scientific ideas overwhelms each cell in your body with the possibilities—and danger—bioengineering presents. It's clean, foreboding fun.
Free Radicals, will be on display at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts from November 7 - December 5, 2015. See more of Diemut Strebe's work on her website.
