TREASURES IN THE TRASH MUSEUM
by Pushing Time • April 29, 2019 • 14 Comments
You could say that Nelson Molina's destiny is in trash. I mean that in a good way because if it weren't for Mr. Molina there would be no 'Treasures in the Trash Museum'.
Let me back up and explain. The other day I had an opportunity to visit one of New York City's unique museums. It is located on the downtown edge of East Harlem in an old warehouse managed by the Department of Sanitation. The building used to be a parking garage for garbage trucks. Now with the building's deteriorating infrastructure, it's no longer considered safe for the large tonnage of these huge vehicles. But it is just the right size, any way for now, to accommodate the 'Treasures in the Trash Museum'.
As a young boy, Mr. Molina, the curator and founder of this museum, was drawn to the heaps of discarded items his neighbors piled up on the street for the Sanitation Department to take away. Even back then he had a knack for fixing things, a skill he attributes to his mother's ingenuity and thriftiness. He put that aptitude to good use by fixing broken and cast-off toys for himself and his siblings.
Mr. Molina said that passing the Sanitation Department exam in 1981, when he was a very young man, was a dream come true. Since then his entire work life has been picking up trash and he loves it. But it's not only his love of broken and discarded items that brought about this museum. Mr. Molina has a special talent, one that is even difficult for him to explain. He has a knack for finding things in the trash. Mr. Molina explained that there is a difference in the clinking together of glass when lifting a trash bag. He said that a wine bottle and a wine glass resonate differently. Some times when lifting a plastic bag he can detect whether something is broken or intact.
Early on in his career as a sanitation worker, Mr. Molina brought these found items back to his work station and initially put these objects on display in the employees locker-room. Then when the collection out grew that space, he put the items in a corner of the building where the museum is now housed. Soon the collection of castoffs became a table full of curiosities, then two tables. Now after more than 30 years of gathering items the entire second floor of the old parking garage is chocked full of everything from paintings, to glassware, pewter mugs, jewelry, toys and so much more. It is important to note here that anything that is placed on the street for collection automatically becomes property of the City and it is technically illegal for anyone but the Department of Sanitation to gather up these items.
Mr. Molina said, "You'd be surprised what's in the trash." And after taking the tour of the museum, that comment is an understatement.
Every item in the museum is catalogued. All objects are regularly cleaned and dusted. As the curator of this unique museum, Mr. Molina has an encyclopedic knowledge of where he discovered each item and when. There is nothing disordered or messy about this place. The tables are thematically organized. Robin Nagle, an NYU Professor of Anthropology and the Anthropologist-in-Residence for the Sanitation Department, along with her students are helping to catalogue each of these items. Professor Nagle's main objective is in studying the relationship between trash and cities. She has been in-residence with the sanitation department since 2006 and much of her work is in studying the complexity and nuances of the world around us through garbage.
There are stories in the trash. The passing of time is frequently startling when looking into a bag and portraits, perhaps a hundred years old, sit atop a pile of discarded family albums. Eye glasses so old they are now considered retro, have often tumbled out of a trash bag, the lenses dusty and smeared with finger prints. Vintage tarnished silver jewelry has sometimes slipped from bundles heaped onto a pile of garbage, the trinkets often landing unexpectedly onto the boot of a sanitation worker.
Mr. Molina says that plastic skeletons frequently lay akimbo on a pile of trash bags. Some times they are naked, frighteningly realistic in an early morning light at pick up time. Then again a jumble of bones can clank about in a trash bag and upon inspection, the dear old thing slips out of its container fully dressed in a raggedy attire.
Mr. Molina said it isn't unusual to have collections of items sitting on the street, a display of time gone by waiting for the trash collection.
Then there are the curiously delicate, totally whimsical oddities tucked away in a trash bag. He often wonders what story a particular discarded item might tell? When and why was this object important in the life of the person who now discards it? Did a widower remarry? And now do the items that once belonged to the deceased wife, must they all be gotten rid of?
And what does this collection of Pez dispensers represent? One can only speculate why someone would collect these and then after all the effort in designing this display, discard them. Did this belong to a child who now has grown up and left home? Or was this the brain child of a husband who now has found something else to busy himself with? Take me out to the ball game has an interesting twist when looking at this huge display of old and discarded baseball memorabilia.
There are over 45,000 items in Treasures in the Trash Museum. Almost everything has come from Mr. Molina's pick-up route that extended from 96th Street to 106th Street between First and Fifth Avenue.
There are displays of cast-off childhood items, symbols of fun times with sons and daughters that now just take up space. The boxes of Band-aids that were used to doctor the skinned knee or the boo-boos on an elbow have probably long ago been thrown out, but when does a parent let go of the trike?
And let us not overlook the no longer wanted items of political struggles. Is this rubber mask of Hillery balanced atop a half manikin surrounded by discarded flags a political statement? What more will the sanitation workers find in the trash as election years come and go.
Mr. Molina retired from the Department of Sanitation in 2015 though he still comes in regularly to manage the museum. Some of his fellow workers bring him interesting items from time to time. However, it is Mr. Molina's job as curator of the museum to sort through the discards of detritus to insure that this collection is more than just a place where trash is heaped attractively.
Old habits die hard and Mr. Molina has taken the same drive from home to work for over 30 years. Some days, even in his retirement, he cannot resist taking a slow drive through his old sanitation route, just for the off chance that there might be something of interest hanging out on one of his familiar pick-up spots.

When credit unions converged at the World Credit Union Conference in Denver this past July, the marijuana industry was a hot topic of discussion.
Colorado, after all, is one of two U.S. states (Washington is the other) where recreational use of the drug is legal, yet the industry remains largely unbanked.
That means pot purveyors quite literally have bags of money they need to deposit and few financial institutions willing to take their cash.
Partner Colorado Credit Union (PCCU) is filling that gap.
"I wonder if credit unions aren't missing an opportunity to do something nobody else wants to do and do it right," said PCCU CEO Sundie Seefried at the conference.

Underneath the spreading
chestnut tree in Rathkeale
during an autumn afternoon
The large chestnut tree in the grounds of the Rathkeale House Hotel (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2018)
Although I spent part of my childhood on my grandmother's farm near Cappoquin in West Waterford, I grew up not knowing the names of trees, most flowers and birds.
I suppose it is a form of illiteracy, like some people not being able to read music or others not being able to appreciate poetry or learning to speak other languages. In my case, I might even add not being able to drive a car to that list.
However, I find I often have warm feelings for particular fields and trees. Every time I pass a house on Rathfarnham Road where I spent part of my childhood, I still gaze on the chestnut tree that still stands in the front garden and that continues to shed its chestnuts in Autumn on the footpath outside.
Other trees than linger in my mind's eye include a large gnarled tree in the grounds of the Hedgehog Vintage Inn in Lichfield, the old maple tree in front of the Graduate Memorial Building in Trinity College Dublin that was felled in a high wind earlier this year and the chestnut trees on the drive leading up to Comberford Hall, between Lichfield and Tamworth.
Indeed, for years, a collection of chestnuts from Comberford lined one of the window ledges in my study in the Church of Ireland Theological Institute.
I suppose it was memories like this that were brought to mind as I went in and out of the Rathkeale House Hotel yesterday [24 September 2018], where I delighted in the sight of the large, spreading chestnut tree as I found a welcome working space over endless cups of coffee in the afternoon between one meeting and another.
The chestnut tree in the grounds of the hotel is such a part of Rathkeale's identity that it gives its name to the Chestnut Tree Bar in the hotel.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, The Village Blacksmith, opens with the lines:
Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
Glenn Miller recorded Underneath the Chestnut Tree in 1939. Nat King Cole first recorded 'The Christmas Song' in 1946, with its opening line, 'Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.' What has become a popular and classic Christmas song was written by Bob Wells and Mel Tormé, during a blistering hot summer in 1945.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
It is still too early to be thinking of Christmas. But I did not taste roasted chestnuts until I was an adult, although I imagine few men of my age did not grew up playing 'conkers' in their childhood.
However, chestnut trees are a part of folklore on these islands, in both England and Ireland. Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree is a set of variations, with fugue, for orchestra composed in 1939 by the Czech-born American composer Jaromír Weinberger (1896-1967). It is based on an English popular song derived perhaps from a much older folk song:
Underneath the spreading chestnut tree,
There we sit both you and me,
Oh how happy we can be,
'Neath the spreading chestnut tree.
A version of the traditional song later appears in an episode of Dad's Army in 1972.
The name chestnut is derived from an earlier English 'chesten nut,' which descends from the Old French word chastain (Modern French, châtaigne).
The name may be derived the Greek town of Kastania in Thessaly, although it is possible that the town took its name from the trees growing around it. Some say the tree takes its name from Sardis, the capital of Lydia in Asia Minor.
In Shakespeare's Macbeth, one of the three Witches or Wayward Sisters threatens to kill a woman's husband over a chestnut. This is meant to show the impassivity and comic relief of their characters.
Around the same time, the name of the chestnut is used twice by the translators of the King James Version of the Bible. In the first instance, Jacob puts peeled twigs in the water troughs to promote healthy offspring of his livestock: 'Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods' (Genesis 30: 37).
In the second instance, we are told 'The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: 'the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty' (Ezekiel 31: 8).
The first occurrence is now translated as almond in the New Revised Standard Version, and the second as plane trees. But the chestnut's appearance in Macbeth and the King James Version of the Bible shows that in early 17th century England the fruit of the chestnut tree was regarded as a local staple food. By then, the great Tortworth Chestnut in Gloucestershire was centuries old and a well-known landmark and one of the largest trees in England.

For some reason, I imagine we are losing too many of our old trees on these islands. But one of the most ambitious environmental projects of the new millennium was a plan to quietly transform large tracts of Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire with a blend of new planting and ancient woodland that in future are going to form the largest new expanse of forest in England for 1,000 years.
The 200 square mile National Forest takes in a few large towns and several small villages, intermittently pretty countryside, surviving scraps of the ancient Needwood and Charnwood, and a landscape scarred by mineral extraction and spent coalfields.
This land now supports thickening stands of dogwood, sweet chestnut and hazel. eventually, a third of the land area, 13,500 hectares, will be under trees, mainly broad-leaved. Planting continues apace, and in centuries to come there may even be an unbroken canopy from Leicester to Lichfield.

The Colored Waiters and Cooks Local 359 formed on May 30, 1902, when a dozen African American waiters met at the Home Circle Club on Ford Street. There they examined the constitution and by-laws of the national Hotel and Restaurant Employees union and unanimously voted to join.
During their first year of operation, Hartford waiter John Fuller and his comrades must have felt optimistic, however. They announced that "the membership roll grows larger each meeting, and everything points favorably to Local 359 being one of the best in its kind in New England. Perfect harmony prevails." When the national hotel union met in Rochester, New York, for its twelfth annual convention in 1904, Local 359 sent two delegates. The establishment of the union "brought about the recognition of the colored waiters by the white waiters and more unity among themselves," members claimed.
In 1918, Hartford's Local 359 hosted a national convention of Colored Waiters and Cooks unions, including locals from Ohio and New Jersey. At the two-day event it was agreed to enlarge their base by welcoming Red Caps (the nickname for railroad porters working in the United States And Canada) into their ranks. This particular decision in Hartford laid the groundwork for other important milestones in the fight for labor and racial justice.
Civil rights and labor leader A. Philip Randolph led the organizing campaign in 1925 to unionize the Pullman railroad company into the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BCSP), the first all-black union recognized by the conservative American Federation of Labor (AFL). E. D. Nixon and his secretary, Rosa Parks, who both worked for the BSCP in Montgomery, Alabama, went on to play pivotal roles in the 1955 bus boycott that desegregated public transportation. This campaign, in turn, launched Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to nationwide prominence.

Today the morning greeted us with cloudy skies and some light rain. The sound of the raindrops pelting the car port roof told me what the day would be like and got me up to make coffee and sit by the window while Kitty had her breakfast. A quiet house and one of my favorite times of the day allows me to take a moment to relax and plan the adventures and menu for today.
I had watched a Chilean friend's video blog where he was telling me about his plans and while I watched him, I heard his Mom ask him to tell me about her "Chilean Sopaipillas" I had inquired about some time ago. Naturally I was trying to get these right and went straight to the source since I didn't want fusion of any type to cha nge the preparation and I wasn't let down at all.
Sopaipillas in Chile have been a comfort food staple since 1726 and can be sweet or salty. Served with mustard or "chancaca" which is a typical Bolivian, Peruvian and Chilean sweet sauce made of raw unrefined sugar crystallized with honey. It is often flavored with orange peel and is consumed on sopaipillas or picarones. You can easily use "piloncillo" for this plus I can use the Orange Marmalade I made some days ago. Picarones are also made with the same basic ingredients as the sopaipillas but are formed into a doughnut kind fritter and more popular in Peru where they are as traditional as you can get and mostly served along with "anticuchos" or meat on skewers.
You might remember that New Mexico has a variation on the sopaipillas as well but have changed them to make them mostly a dessert item, pouring a piloncillo syrup over them and much loved in that part of the country. In Mexico we have "Bunuelos" which are made from flour, look like fried flour tortillas (I've been known to use these in a pinch) and sprinkled with a sugar / cinnamon mix or with a cinnamon infused syrup (while I add some Cardamom too).
Today I am focusing on the Chilean version of "Sopaipillas" made from pumpkin, sweet potato or yam, giving them a lovely color and natural sweet flavor and while they too are fried, they are tender and moist and make a lovely snack with some hot chocolate, coffee or tea.
If you like the South American traditions you might serve these with "Hierba Mate", a classic drink in most of the populations there and now available here in the US in Latin markets. A high caffeine tea, Mate is served with a metal straw from a shared hollow gourd. The straw is called a bombilla and has little holes to filter out the leaves. The straw is traditionally made of silver. I used to have one but wasn't able to "get into it" due to it's taste. But the rituals associated with the drinking of Mate appealed to me since drinking the yerba mate is considered to be more than just good for the body; it's also good for the soul. Drinking it can be a form of meditation or reflection - allowing the goodness to infuse into the body while stimulating and resting the mind. Those who share the mate join in a kind of bond of total acceptance and friendship. Generally the server will start a new infusion and then take the first drink. This is considered an act of kindness by the other people in the circle, because usually the first serving is considered the worst.
Mate is very much like coffee and tea, and is considered safe by the US Food and Drug Administration. In-vivo and in-vitro studies are showing that yerba mate exhibits significant cancer-fighting activity. In 1995, research at the University of Illinois found yerba mate to inhibit the proliferation of oral cancer cells, which is great but the legend appeals more to me: The Guarani people started drinking mate in the region that now includes Paraguay, southern Brazil, south-easthern Bolivia, north-east Argentina, and Uruguay. The Guaraní have a legend that says that the Goddesses of the Moon and the Cloud came to the Earth one day to visit it but they instead found a Yaguareté (a jaguar) that was going to attack them. An old man saved them, and, in compensation, the Goddesses gave the old man a new kind of plant from which he could prepare a "drink of friendship" which was "Matte".
Seems we went off on a tangent thinking of all these rituals, but now we're back on track. All the Latin American countries share many similar dishes, with different names, but still have originals that never traveled past their individual countries and so set them apart. So much travel during the conquest years allowed for this exchange and as a result a varied and unique culinary diversity resulted. Chile has so much coastline that seafood dishes are always present, but then their agriculture is rich with the flavor of potatoes (over 200 variations of these) that g o back hundreds of years, plus the potato originated in the Americas.
Since the sea occupies a major place in Chile, its so close by and makes fish and seafood high quality ingredients, you find raw dish dishes popular as well as many "casserole" type seafood dishes as well. Ceviche and it's variations are numerous, they still have Abalone (which is now almost gone in Mexico and miss a great deal) and their crab is exquisite. We all know Chilean Sea Bass, but the fusion made from European immigrants that settled in South America contributed to their cream sauces and wonderful wine species too. With the proximity of the pampas of Argentina and the rich grasses nearby, they also favor good meat and fire cooked dishes like the skewers and steaks that are also much loved. Depending if it's north, central or south area of the country there are variations to the dishes as well, but it's all good eats indeed.
Chilean Sopaipillas.- From the Chiloe Archipelago comes this very traditional snack bread.
Cook the pumpkin in water with a tsp of salt and cook until tender. Remove from the water (but reserve the liquid). In a bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt and mix gently, without beating, the pumpkin puree, butter and flour mixture so it becomes a soft dough. You can use some of the pumpkin cooking water if the dough is too dry.
Take a quarter of dough and work on a flour covered space and roll out until it's about 1/8 inch thick and cut with a round cutting mold about 3 inch in diam. You could also use individual balls of dough and roll them out into circles instead if this is easier for you.
Pinch the "tortillas" with a fork so they don't inflate as much and fry in hot oil until lightly golden. You can serve them as is or sprinkle with powdered sugar or a "piloncillo" and cinnamon syrup, your choice.
Chilean Spicy Crab Cakes.- Here's a variation on the usual crab cake for you.
In a glass bowl, mix crab meat, onion, egg, lemon juice, pepper, paprika, aji paste, flour, and butter. Mix well. Form cakes into 2 inch diameter cakes and refrigerate for 1 hour. Coat cakes in bread crumbs and fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. Serve hot with a dollop of mayonnaise (or you can use my homemade Ranch Dressing or Tartar Sauce on top.
Homemade Tartar Sauce.- This sauce taste better than any bottled you can get. Easy, fast and great on lots of things.
Parmesan Clams.- Here's a super easy preparation that tastes wonderful. A quick dish too.
Open the clams and separate the meat from the shells for easier eating if you like. Make sure there is no sand or dirt inside. Put the clams on a baking sheet in one single layer in their own shell.
Pre-heat your oven to 400F. Into each clam shell put some drops of lemon or lime juice, a small piece of butter and some of the chosen tomato sauce, top off with some cheese. Place in the hot oven for about 4 min and serve at once.
NOTE: You could also add some finely chopped onion, celery or bacon bits and could be topped with some seasoned bread crumbs and baked for the last minute of time in the oven.
Drunken Pork Chops from Chile.- An easy preparation and wonderful flavors.
Salt and pepper the pork chops well. In a large pan, put the oil and some of the butter to heat over med-high heat, once it hot add the pork chops and fry until cooked and tender. Remove to a serving platter to rest while you make the sauce.
In the same pan, lower the heat to med-low and add the cream, the mustard, salt and pepper and the cognac. Allow to come to a boil for 1-2 min. Mix well and taste to adjust seasonings. Once the sauce has thickened (3-4 min, watch it while mixing it) turn off the heat and pour over the pork chops. Serve at once.
Our little trip to Chile is now over and I leave you with some suggestions from this lovely land. I've got quite a few Chilean friends and we usually see them when there are big futbol matches and now with the World Cup coming up we're sure to have a good time with some great food to go along with it. It's still sprinkling here and the temperature is down to 47 degrees (Brrrr...) so I think I will do some baking to go along with the Drunken Pork Chops and take advantage of some Brandy I've got, will have to look around for that Brandy Cake with Raisins I posted around the holidays. I'll leave you now, hoping your day is lovely and that you will be inspired to try some Latin American dishes. Talk soon!

Q: How to create a synchronize block using a @PathVariable in a Spring MVC controller? I have the need to create a synchronized block in a Spring MVC controller, in which I want to use a @PathVariable as my synchronizing object.
@RequestMapping(value = "/upload/{providerId}/{contractId}", method = RequestMethod.POST, headers = "content-type!=multipart/form-data")
public void uploadChunked(
        @PathVariable final long providerId,
        @PathVariable final Long contractId ) {

    Attachment attachment = new Attachment();

    // store the attachment
    synchronized( contractId ){
        contractService.addAttachment( providerId, contractId, attachment );
    }
}

I'm auto boxing contractId into a Long and using it for the synchronize object, however synchronizing on auto boxed values could be an issue if I create another synchronize block elsewhere against an auto boxed Long.  According to the JLS 5.1.7

Ideally, boxing a given primitive value p, would always yield an
  identical reference. In practice, this may not be feasible using
  existing implementation techniques.

Consequently, this block may be waiting for a completely unrelated synchronize block on a boxed Long to complete which is unacceptable.
However, given that the controller is essentially a singleton, how can I safely synchronize against the contractId?  To be clear, only calls to this method with the same contractId must be synchronized - calls with different contractIds can run concurrently.
I have been unable to find any existing libraries that provide this simple support.  Short of creating my own util lib/class (ex: static concurrent hashmap to store lock objects by contractId), is there another cleaner solution?

A: As you suggest, you cannot depend on the primitive wrapper types to synchronize around such values. One possible solution is to maintain a ConcurrentHashMap where you putIfAbsent a new lock object using your contractId as a key. If the method returns an object, you lock on that. If it doesn't, you lock on the object you created. You can then clear the entry from the map.
This obviously won't work over many deployments of the application.

A: There is a tool called XSync - a thread-safe mutex factory, that provide ability to synchronize by the value of the object (not by the object).
And you can use it for all type of objects which you need.
https://github.com/antkorwin/xsync
    xSync.execute(contractId, () -> {
           contractService.addAttachment( providerId, contractId, attachment );
    });
