Hostos College in Bronx to Offer a Food Studies Program

In an unusual English class at Hostos Community College in the Bronx, students do not immerse themselves in the words of Chaucer, Fitzgerald or García Márquez.

Instead, they study food critics like Michael Pollan and thinkers like Wendell Berry, write essays on the merits of processed versus unprocessed foods, and run their own farmers’ market on campus as part of their research.

The class is a pilot course, part of an interdisciplinary food studies program that has been under development at Hostos for more than two years and will enroll students this fall for the first time. The new program will go beyond the traditional culinary classes offered at many schools to provide students with a broad overview of food policy, social justice, environment, health, science and business. It aims to prepare them for jobs as technicians, analysts, nutritionists and entrepreneurs in the fast-expanding food industry in the Bronx, home to the Hunts Point food markets, and elsewhere.

Hostos’s program is intended to train a new generation of professionals in the food industry and empower them to address longstanding socioeconomic issues involving food in their communities. At a time when the Bronx, the city’s poorest borough, faces a growing health crisis from diabetes and obesity-related illnesses, many residents say they do not have convenient or affordable access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

“We will become a pipeline of graduates who are primarily Latino, African-American, and individuals currently impacted by inequities in the system who will now have a voice at the table,” said Odalys Diaz Piñeiro, director of special programs at Hostos, who sees the food studies program as “a pathway to sustainable change” in the Bronx.

Students like Shaughn Bulgar, 18, a Bronx resident, are ready to sign up. “I live here and I don’t have many options,” said Mr. Bulgar, who gained 10 pounds last year from eating pizza almost every day. “Fast food is usually the only thing around, so that’s what I eat.”

Hostos, which is part of the City University of New York, has long been intertwined with life in the Bronx. With more than 7,000 students, the college’s programs have trained nurses, dental hygienists and radiologic technologists, and are often the first step for immigrants and others who continue their studies at four-year colleges.

Hostos’s dean of academic programs, Felix Cardona, said that the idea for the food studies program grew out of faculty and staff discussions about the importance of food to the Bronx’s future. In 2013, the college started offering a certificate program in how to run a green market. This spring, it will offer a similar program in the culinary arts.

“It was a glaring gap in our curriculum and I think we needed to be responsive to that,” Professor Cardona said.

HOW TO CLEAN NIKE SHOES

For best results, clean your shoes immediately after exposing them to dirt.

SHOE CLEANING GUIDELINES

1. Remove excess dirt first. Use a soft-bristled brush (shoe brush, old toothbrush) to clean the outsole.
2. Mix warm water and a small amount of laundry detergent so the mixture is slightly soapy.
3. Use a sponge, soft cloth, or soft brush to apply a small amount of the water/detergent mixture and clean the affected areas.
4. Using another sponge or soft cloth, apply a small amount of warm water to remove any excess detergent.
5. Air dry the shoes at room temperature.
6. Repeat these steps to attempt to remove persistent stains.

Saddle soap can soften leather, so we recommend using it only on leather components on your shoes that are not subject to excessive stress.

Do not use saddle soap on soccer cleats, basketball shoes, golf shoes, training shoes, or any other shoes designed for sports or activities involving lateral movement.

We do NOT recommend any other cleaning methods, placing your shoes in a washing machine or dryer, or using any other products on your shoes such as bleach or other chemicals. Please only follow the guidelines listed above.

---

CLEANING INSOLES TO REDUCE SHOE ODOR

1. Remove the insoles from your shoes.
2. Follow the same cleaning steps listed above.
3. Air dry completely before putting the insoles back in the shoes.

If cleaning insoles does not reduce shoe odor, please replace the insoles. Replacement insoles are available at most sporting goods and shoe stores.

-ing form:

• as a verb
• Using another sponge or soft cloth, apply a small amount of warm water to remove any excess detergent.

• as noun/gerund
• placing your shoes in a washing machine or dryer

• as adjective
•  If cleaning insoles does not reduce shoe odor, please replace the insoles

-ing form according to wikipedia:
-ing is a suffix used to make one of the inflected forms of English verbs. This verb form is used as a present participle, as a gerund, and sometimes as an independent noun or adjective.
What parallels the usages of present participles as adjectival or adverbial phrases is that past participles can also be used as adjectives or adverbs, but not as nouns. Aside from present participles, past participles, and gerunds, infinitives, the other type of nonfinite verb, can be used as adjectives, adverbs, or nouns.

Direct and Indirect Speech

Channing Tatum: A Work in Progress

In Steven Soderbergh’s 2012 film “Magic Mike,” we meet the title character, played by Channing Tatum, as he emerges from postcoital slumber into a beer-colored Tampa morning, dragging his remarkable body — huge shoulders, tiny waist, a bas-relief of bare buttocks — to the bathroom to shave his pubic hair. “Foxcatcher,” the new film by Bennett Miller, opens to a somewhat different expression of Tatum’s intense and bankable physicality: the figure of Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz grappling violently on the mat with a dummy, the camera trained on his squirming fingers and misshapen ears, the microphone uncomfortably sensitive to the sound of his panting. After practice, Schultz retreats to a grim brown apartment where the lampshades don’t entirely cover the bulbs, and where a gold medal in a velveteen case seems to offer hollow consolation. This is a Tatum role bereft of sexual glamour; the jock has come crashing down to earth.

One of those blockbusters, “21 Jump Street,” offers a hilarious exploration of the high school reunion effect. In it, Tatum plays a barely literate meathead (opposite a meek and bookish Jonah Hill) who returns to high school as an undercover police officer to find that the behavior that had made him a popular teenager — for example, punching a black, gay student in the parking lot — now begets outrage. Reid Carolin, Tatum’s best friend and production partner in the company Free Association, believes that the movie succeeds in part because we are watching Tatum work through his own life story. “I don’t know if he understands how brilliantly he’s channeling and poking fun at that part of himself in the character,” Carolin explains. It’s tempting, in any case, to think that Tatum has been reappraising an old idea about himself so that he can move on to new ones.

Tatum’s path to fame is well known: a blue-collar upbringing mostly in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, an unsuccessful go of college on a football scholarship, then construction jobs, stripping, dancing, modeling and, finally, Hollywood. The actor, now 34, had to cobble together an education along the way. He is still adding matter, to use a term from sculpture, which has been his quiet passion for the last few years. “I could never carve away marble like the ancients,” he says. “I’m more of an additive guy.”

Tatum did not exactly coast through adolescence on the strength of his appearance, and he did not always believe that the world of ideas was available to him. As a child he struggled with A.D.H.D. and dyslexia, was prescribed stimulants and did poorly in school. “I have never considered myself a very smart person, for a lot of reasons,” he says. “Not having early success on that one path messes with you. You get lumped in classes with kids with autism and Down Syndrome, and you look around and say, Okay, so this is where I’m at. Or you get put in the typical classes and you say, All right, I’m obviously not like these kids either. So you’re kind of nowhere. You’re just different. The system is broken. If we can streamline a multibillion-dollar company, we should be able to help kids who struggle the way I did.”

I went to New York and did the whole modeling thing, and I just learned everything I could from anybody who knew something I didn’t. I’ve had a few John du Ponts in my life, to be honest. I think that’s one thing I’m pretty skilled at. I can look at a person and say, They’ve got something that I want up there in their head. I’m going to do my best to get in there and absorb it. My mom said, ‘Be a sponge.’ And so I’ve learned more from people than I have from school or from books.”

“Chan’s a blue-collar person, a worker by nature,” Carolin said. “So when he’s producing or financing or developing, he doesn’t just want credit for something. He’s looking to get into it, to learn to do it. He’s so physically talented and good-looking and all that movie star stuff, but there’s a curiosity in him that originates in the fact that he really did struggle. Football didn’t stick. College didn’t stick. And yet he has the highest emotional intelligence of anyone I know. And he has the ability to teach others, including me, how to make decisions from that place.”

People who know Tatum often refer to his sweetness, and lately, unbidden, they mention what a terrific father he must be. In May of last year, Tatum and his wife, the actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum, had a daughter, Everly. He finds fatherhood difficult, but it has taught him to be a more diligent student of himself. “You notice your behavior, like, Wow, I don’t have much patience right now. Why is that?” he explains. “You spend the day watching this thing constantly taking in information, and you have to be sure you’re making that happen. At the end of the day when I put her to bed, I feel glad to have some peace but say to myself, That was so much fun.”

 Tatum, who still prefers to work in clay, cites Auguste Rodin as one of his sculptural heroes. (“My stuff ends up looking like his stuff,” he says, “although it’s crazy that I would even put our names in the same sentence.”) He acknowledges that making art has been a refuge from acting at a time when he has never had more offers. “It’s so internal. You get so focused on yourself as an actor,” he says. “You never feel totally confident that you got it right, and in the end the director will cut everything away to tell the story he wants to tell. With sculpting, nothing is cloudy or mystical. It’s just about this object, and if you’re trying to depict reality, and you do it well, then the outcome is the truth.”

“Foxcatcher” is a film that frustrates any search for the straightforward truth; it offers a devastating account of an inexplicable act, and Tatum admits that when he first read the script, about eight years ago, he didn’t understand it. Was John du Pont, played by an utterly transformed Steve Carell, in love with Mark Schultz? Was he driven by a desire to please an unloving mother (Vanessa Redgrave, marvelously haughty as the old Mrs. du Pont)? “There’s definitely an Oedipal element,” Tatum acknowledges. “But there’s no resolve. There’s no huge lesson. It just tries to show what really happened, and that’s never easy.” Tatum’s friends say that he has never prepared more intensely for a role. He trained for it in the gym during breaks from shooting “White House Down” in Canada. Mark Ruffalo, who plays Mark’s brother Dave Schultz, advised him to study the real Mark Schultz closely. Tatum spent a number of days with Schultz, and the two remain in touch.

Journalist with Ebola has passion for Liberia

By MICHELLE R. SMITH

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) — A passion for Liberia and the plight of its people drove Ashoka Mukpo to work there, first to aid relief efforts and then as a photojournalist to tell its story. But Mukpo has an unusual story of his own: As an infant, he was identified as a reincarnated Tibetan lama, a role he chose not to pursue.

Mukpo, 33, was diagnosed Thursday with Ebola and was being cared for at a treatment center in the Liberian capital, Monrovia. His family said he was expected to leave there Sunday and arrive at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha Monday.

                                                                                                            

His mother, Diana Mukpo, comes from an upper-class aristocratic family in Great Britain. At age 16, she left boarding school in Scotland and married Tibetan Buddhist leader Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who founded the Shambhala community that spread Buddhism in the West. She was one of several wives.

They moved to Boulder, Colorado, in the 1970s and set up a Buddhist center, where notables such as Allen Ginsberg, Joni Mitchell and William Burroughs studied and Trungpa advocated tantric sex.

After starting a family with Trungpa, Mukpo's mother connected with another of her husband's followers, Dr. Mitchell Levy, a Jewish man from New York.

Levy is Mukpo's biological father, Mukpo said in an interview with the Dorje Shugden Buddhist website, but Trungpa raised Mukpo as his own son.

When Mukpo was a few months old, he was recognized by another Buddhist lama as the ninth Khamnyon Tulku, or reincarnated lama, a spiritual leader.

Mukpo's older half-brother, Gesar Mukpo, son of Diana Mukpo and Trungpa, also was named a tulku and succeeded his father as leader of the Shambhala community after his death in 1987.

After he died, Mukpo's mother and Levy married and moved to Providence. Levy is medical director of the intensive care unit at Rhode Island Hospital and a professor and chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine at Brown University's medical school. Mukpo's mother is a horse trainer who owns a stable outside Boston.

Mukpo attended Moses Brown, a Quaker day school in Providence. He received degrees from Georgetown University and the London School of Economics.

His more traditional life sometimes caused angst.

"When you're 15, you can't say, 'Dude, I'm a reincarnated spiritual master from the hills of Tibet, and my father was this womanizing, drinking, Tibetan-crazy-wisdom genius,' without people thinking you're weird," he said in the Dorje Shugden interview.

In 2002, he traveled to Tibet with his parents to visit the monastery that's his family's spiritual home.

"Someone put a sick baby in front of my face and asked me to blow on it. I did. I'm not going to be the guy who says, 'This whole thing doesn't make sense for me, sorry!'" he said in the interview. "Sometimes I do feel like it wasn't my decision to take this title on, but now I feel like someone put me in the position of abandoning it."

Mukpo ultimately decided not to embrace his status as a reincarnated lama, although he's still a practicing Buddhist, Levy said.

"He's proud of his street cred and his intellectual credibility that he feels he's earned, and for him, the reincarnated tulku, although a powerful tradition and a very important tradition, I don't think he wanted to feel like he was being handed something he didn't earn," Levy said.

Mukpo has worked at Human Rights Watch and spent two years in Liberia working as a researcher for the Sustainable Development Institute, a nonprofit shining light on concerns of workers in mining camps outside Monrovia.

Levy said his son returned to Providence in May and intended to pursue a career as a journalist. By August, he saw what was happening in Liberia and decided to return, Levy said.

"His intention in going back was to illustrate the tremendous burden and impact of the Ebola epidemic," Levy said. "He sensed that the international community was isolating Liberia rather than reaching out to help them."

Mukpo said he was filming inside and around clinics and high-risk areas but doesn't know how he was infected, Levy said.

Levy said he's been reassuring his son, who is staying in an isolation tent and will receive better care in the U.S., that he'll recover.

Besides NBC, Mukpo has worked for Vice News and other media outlets. In an opinion piece in Al Jazeera America on Sept. 17, Mukpo wrote that in the last few weeks he had seen children close to death turned away from treatment centers and heard stories of people waiting days to be picked up by ambulances.

He called the American response to the crisis underwhelming and slow.

"The most critical element of all is time," he wrote. "Every life saved matters."

Subject she is an agent who does action. She refers to Diana mukpo in paragraph 3 line 2. The tense is past tense

5.    They moved to Boulder, Colorado, in the 1970s. (Paragraph 4, line 1)

This sentence is active. The word “They” is doing action and as a subject. The tense is past.

Passive

1.    He was identified as a reincarnated Tibetan lama. (Paragraph 1, line 4)

In this sentence, the word “He” is receiving the action. This form is a passive.

2.    He was expected to leave there on Sunday. (Paragraph 2, line 2)

The word “He” refers to Ashoka Mukpo. The word “He” also receiving the action. This condition makes this sentence as a passive form

3.    He was recognized by another Buddhist lama as the ninth Khamnyon Tulku. (Paragraph 7, line 1)

The word He refers to Ashoka Mukpo, this is a passive form because ashoka mukpo is receiving the action

4.    He was being handed something he didn't earn. (Paragraph 16, line 3)

This sentence is passive form because the subject is receiving the action and not an agent

5.    He was infected. (paragraph 20, line 2)

We may not know the agent, but according to the article and contex of the sentence, we know the agent is a virus. So the word “he” is receiving an action from the agent. It makes this sentence become a passive form
