Turn cellphones to silent or off, do not let them vibrate or ring. Who do you think you're fooling? There cannot be anything so important that you have to read every call that you get, calls which seem to come once every 10 minutes. And even if there were such important calls, how often do you get them? If you're not going to answer it, don't let it vibrate. Just wait and read who called after you get out of class. The vibrate sound is somehow even worse than a ringtone. A vibrate sounds just like the inner brain trembling you get when you look at something way too bright, a ringtone is usually catchy.
Respect the time and patience of your teacher and peers, do not monopolize conversations in the classroom or the answering of teachers' questions. Though it is nice you are getting smarter, that's what we are trying to do too. Some of us learn more quietly than others. The quiet learners are patient with the loud learners, so you loud learners should go ahead and be quieter for their sake too. It's not going to hurt and hey, you'll probably learn something from the people who you usually take the time away from.
Allow time for other students to think their thoughts, don't answer questions early. Speed is a admirable characteristic in learning, but some people are slowed down when someone interrupts their thoughts. Again, be thoughtful of others. We know you like to learn by talking and shouting things out, and we'll let you do it some of the time. Just let us enjoy you not doing it all of the time.
Eat before or after class, do not eat during class. You can't be that busy, please, come on. Class time is not some kind of break your day where you can balance your checkbook, check your voicemails and eat your dinner. If you need a snack because you will go into a diabetic coma, we understand. But even then, do not eat anything loud for god's sake. What's loud? Potato chips, fritos, doritos, carrots, pop rocks, popcorn and bubble gum if you can't keep your mouth shut. Just remember there are other people around you who aren't eating, why?
Do not try to relate concepts to something far fetched and completely unreasonable. If there is a direct parallel, and it seems like it might be helpful for the class to hear it, go ahead and share it. Otherwise keep it to yourself, share it with the teacher after class, write it down, or talk to your mom about it on the cellphone after class. Don't assume we want to know that the formula for gravitational force looks a lot like some statistics equation related to the gross national product. It may, but we don't care.
Suppress the urge to let everyone know when you "get something." Why isn't anyone else saying it? Because it would be much harder to get through any class if everyone yelled "I get it!" after every sixty second concept. We all know this, so we don't say anything when we get it. If we don't "get it" we ask about it after class. If it seems like a bunch of us don't "get it" we ask about it during class.
Come to class early, not late. Again, we are all early and why are we waiting on you, every class? Be considerate and remember when and why we are all coming together.
Pack up to leave class late, not early. You were five minutes late for class, if anything, you should stay five minutes after all of us leave. You disrupt everyone else at the end of class by shuffling all your loud stuff together, cramming it all into your backpack and then sitting there with your arms crossed obviously taking nothing else in for the remainder of your time in your seat. Sit down, wait until it is clear that class is over, then pack up and leave after the teacher has clearly finished. It's courteous if nothing else.
It's okay to laugh in class, but not in excess. Do not laugh so loudly that people don't know what's going, do not laugh to yourself looking for approval or in order to brown-nose a teacher by laughing at every joke they tell. No one is laughing with you, not because you "got it" and no one else did, but precisely because you didn't.
Most of these concepts are simple, some were taught in kindergarten. Every one of them has as its principle the idea that we should think about others and treat that as we would like to be treated. Violations of these behaviors are often the result of short-sighted and selfish thinking and they can be cured with an exactly opposite perspective. It we think about things long-range and consider our actions as affecting others, we can begin to see better alternatives. Be considerate when you laugh, wait to pack your things, don't come in late to class, think about whether a concept is unclear to most of the class or just you, consider your words and their impact on your peers and teacher, don't bring things to class which distract your fellow students, respect the volume, tone and speed of the people around you and most of all remember we aren't in class just to learn about some subject, we are learning about ourselves and our place together in a community. Become part of that by better understand yourself and by caring about and understanding others.

'A wake-up call': What this year's Pennsylvania election results mean for critical 2022 races
Candy Woodall
Pennsylvania State Capital Bureau
As the results of Tuesday's local elections in Pennsylvania continued to be called on Wednesday morning, it appeared the biggest winner might just be history itself.
The country tends to move away from the president's party the year after a presidential election, especially when the same party controls Congress, and that was the case in Pennsylvania, according to analysts.
And that could be a precursor to next year, which will be President Joe Biden's first midterm elections for Congress: 27 wins went to the president's opposing party in the last 30 midterms.
That will be the backdrop in Pennsylvania next year when Republican Sen. Pat Toomey's seat will be on the ballot as he retires and as voters look to elect a new governor, now held by Democrat Tom Wolf.
"Cycles are powerful things," said Chris Borick, a political science professor and pollster at Muhlenberg College. "American voters don't like to give the keys to one party for too long."
For example, Republicans walloped Democrats in the 2010, two years after former President Barack Obama had been elected.
In 2018, which ushered in a record number of women in politics, Democrats reclaimed the U.S. House two years after former President Trump won in 2016.
Republicans on Tuesday won up and down ballots in Pennsylvania, claimed a high-profile governor's race in Virginia where Biden won by 10 percentage points in 2020 and forced a tight gubernatorial race that was too close to call Wednesday in New Jersey.
In Pennsylvania, Republicans appeared to sweep all statewide judicial races, including a coveted seat on the state's highest court.
A precursor to 2022 in Pa.
While history may be proving an accurate predictor, it's certainly not the only reason Republicans had a good night.
Democrats, Republicans and nonpartisan analysts agreed that local races this week were won because of a confluence of factors. Local races, especially school board contests and the Virginia governor's race, were driven by debates over authority and who gets the final say on masks, vaccines and what is taught in classrooms.
There was also a strong push for diversity, which has steadily increased since 2018 with more women and candidates of color getting elected. A few examples:
York County Democrat Corey Thurman, a Black man and political newcomer, received the most votes in a contentious Central York school board race. The school board race in a solidly red county that Trump won bigger in 2020 than he did in 2016 became a top one to watch after the Central board banned books, videos and other educational materials from Black and Brown authors. After mounting public pressure, the ban was reversed.
Aurelis Figueroa, a Latina and Democrat, won a district judge seat in solidly red Lebanon County, defeating a Republican man whose father held the seat for more than 30 years and whose mother was re-elected to a fourth term as mayor.
Black mayors were elected in multiple cities across Pennsylvania, including Pittsburgh getting its first Black mayor in Ed Gainey. Diverse candidates also won Erie City Council seats.
Despite some success in urban and suburban races, Democratic strategists said Tuesday's election was a "red alert" and "wake-up call" for 2022.
"Democrats need to organize all the time," said J.J. Abbott, executive director of Commonwealth Communications and former press secretary for Wolf.
Republicans have been "laser focused" on that effort and use a right-wing media structure that constantly pushes out their message and agitates their base, experts said.
Tuesday's election results were "a good wake-up call" to get the Democratic base to vote in 2022 and persuade potential swing voters, Abbott said.
"The good news is there's a lot of opportunity to do that in the next year," he said.
While the recent election was important, the stakes are much higher in 2022, when a governor's seat and U.S. Senate seat are up for grabs in Pennsylvania, according to Jesse White, a political strategist at Perpetual Fortitude, a Democratic consulting and digital management firm in Harrisburg.
"The silver lining of Tuesday is that nobody will be taking 2022 lightly," he said.

More:Pa. AG Josh Shapiro says he's running for governor 'at a critical time in America'
What Tuesday's elections say about Pennsylvania
Charlie Gerow, a Republican candidate for governor and longtime strategist, sees Tuesday's results as a harbinger of good news for his party.
"Last night was a strong message from parents and patriots," he said Wednesday. "Next year, Pennsylvania will send the same message. We are anxious to have our voices heard in favor of a strong economy, quality education and individual liberty."
Though history suggests Republicans will win several seats during Biden's first midterm, analysts and Democrats caution there's a lot of time between now and November 2022.
Both major parties see that as an advantage.
Republicans believe an electorate stressed out because of continuing inflation and supply shortages will work in their favor, as Biden's approval rating hovers in the low 40s. Democrats believe they can benefit from a higher turnout in the midterms with a proven candidate like Attorney General Josh Shapiro leading the ticket for governor.
There's also a looming U.S. Supreme Court decision expected in June that could decide the fate of Roe v. Wade. If the conservative-leaning court overturns the landmark decision that made abortion legal, Democrats believe it could motivate women to the polls.
In the 2018 midterms, urban and suburban women were the most powerful voting bloc in Pennsylvania, sending a record number of women to Congress, and local and state seats. Last year, Pennsylvania was the deciding state to give Biden the presidency.
The anticipated Supreme Court decision is just one factor that could shake up the 2022 midterm election.
Trump formally entering the presidential race, the state of the economy, Biden's approval rating, COVID-19 and immigration could all impact the next election, according to Terry Madonna, veteran political analyst and a political fellow at Millersville University.
"All bets are off," Madonna said. "We don't know exactly what's going to happen."
Looking ahead:Biden faces mounting pressure to pass spending agenda after massive Democratic setbacks in Virginia and New Jersey
Statewide race:GOP's Kevin Brobson wins seat on PA Supreme Court as party appears poised to sweep appellate races

NJ TRANSIT TO OPERATE MODIFIED SCHEDULE FOR TOMORROW MORNING'S PEAK SERVICE
Crews to Work Around the Clock to Repair Tracks
NEWARK, NJ -- As crews prepare to work around the clock to resume full service, NJ TRANSIT announced tonight that it will operate a close to normal schedule for tomorrow morning's rush hour. The modified schedule includes some express trains making local stops, MidTOWN DIRECT trains being diverted into and out of Hoboken Terminal, and seven morning cancellations. The morning schedule is a result of only one track out of two available for train service between New York and Newark to accommodate crews working to restore service on all tracks.
Similar to this evening's operation, the Corporation will cancel its smaller, shorter distance trains between 6 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. To accommodate those customers, some North Jersey Coast Line and Northeast Corridor express trains will make local stops. In addition, extra cars will be put on a number of trains traveling on the Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Line. Customers are urged to listen to news reports before they leave their homes tomorrow morning and to listen to announcements at their stations.
MidTOWN DIRECT trains will operate to and from Hoboken Terminal throughout the day, where customers can take PATH or New York Waterway to get into Manhattan (NJ TRANSIT rail passes will be honored on these services).
Specific train information is as follows:
Northeast Corridor Trains Cancelled
· Train 3819, the 7:03 a.m. out of Penn Station New York
· Train 3712, the 8:37 a.m. out of Jersey Avenue
· Train 3932, the 8:40 a.m. out of Trenton
North Jersey Coast Line Trains Cancelled
· Train 3504, the 8:07 a.m. out of South Amboy
· Train 3456, the 8:37 a.m. out of Aberdeen/Matawan

We are keen to keep evolving. In 2022, we have added the capability to assess and manage containers , added several external information sources and improved security and risk management.
In 2023, we will first address the challenge of product security communications. Many of product companies face the challenge, that they develop one (or several) piece of software, which is then used in a plethora of products as a key functional element. Unfortunately software tend to change faster than products due, so that different products of the same "type" come with different releases of software under the hood. This situation bears a high challenge to many PCERT teams. This is why we jump in and not only support the identification and resolution of vulnerabilities, but also the communication towards their customers. This will include the product - release mapping, which then can be used to auto-populate VEX documents and Security Advisories. This we conclude under the general topic PCERT support.
Still on the agenda we have last year's announcement on "Adding Tech Debt". This is not forgotten, but did not find room between the need to cope with our own tech debt or update requirements.
In addition to that, we plan to introduce Threat Modelling. Since we have quiet a good understanding of the different modules of a project, we may use this knowledge to generate the basic elements of a Threat Model from this data. This allows the user to complete the model by adding the data transfer lines and we will be able to support him on assembling a list of risks. Here we once more can support in identifying the corresponding controls and measures to cope with. Whether we forward a task to remove a library or to implement a certain control in to jira does not make a difference for Jira, but Security will profit a lot.
But this is not enough. Given a Vulnerability appears, it will have an CWE and an AV associated. This we may then add to the Threat Model, allowing even an outsider to gain a better understanding of the situation and the new risks associated with this vulnerability. This can trigger new work items and new controls.
And now assume, the PCERT integration we have talked about just before.... What are you waiting for?

Home/Extremities/WishBone Medical, Inc. announces new AlloMate Bone Pin System
WishBone Medical, Inc. announces new AlloMate Bone Pin System
Drue De Angelis September 5, 2018
WARSAW, Ind., Sept. 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WishBone Medical, Inc. announces the official launch of the single-use, sterile packed AlloMate Bone Pin System for the maintenance of alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis or bone grafts and may also be used to fill a void left after screw removal.
The AlloMate Bone Pin System consists of allograft bone pins and accessory instrumentation for quick, reliable and reproducible bone pin insertion. The complete system will be available in five different individual sizes (2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, and 4.0mm) of sterilized human cortical bone pins & corresponding single-use instruments for convenient insertion. We will launch these various sizes in stages. The 3.0mm is currently available and the 2.5mm will be available soon followed by the 2.0mm and the additional sizes. Our initial market feedback with the 3.0mm system has been extremely positive.
These bone pins are sturdy, easy to handle and can integrate into the patient's bone to help with the healing process. These sterile packed implants and instruments may potentially reduce the risk of infection and can be accurately trimmed intraoperatively to an appropriate length.
Daniel S. Schulman, D.P.M., helped develop this system and he said, "I have performed well over four hundred foot reconstructive procedures without the use of a metal implant. I can validate that this system will definitely simplify the surgical technique and minimize intra-operative and post-operative surgical complications. Patients are elated when they are told there will be no need for a second surgery to remove potentially painful, broken or even infected hardware."
Nick Deeter, Chairman of the Board and CEO at WishBone Medical, said, "The AlloMate Bone Pin System does help minimize the need for removal in a secondary operation to remove hardware like stainless steel wires." Mr. Deeter added, "Minimizing the number or surgeries for kids is very important to us."
About WishBone Medical, Inc.
WishBone Medical is a Global pediatric orthopedic company, committed to providing anatomically appropriate innovative implants and instruments in sterile packed, single use, disposable kits to prevent infection, reduce overall costs for our customers and achieve the best outcomes for children around the world who are still growing.

Gina Rodriguez Wore Not One, But Two Gorgeous Wedding Dresses
She got married this weekend, and the wedding video will give you chills.
By Neha Prakash
Congrats are in order: Gina Rodriguez married longtime love Joe LoCicero on Saturday, May 4, in a gorgeous outdoor ceremony. The actresses revealed their nuptials on Instagram Monday morning, sharing a video clip that will undoubtedly give you goosebumps.
"May 4th, 2019 was absolute MAGIC. To my husband Joseph, I am yours forever. ❤," Rodriguez captioned the montage. The wedding video, by Harrison Films, shows off their backyard ceremony featuring a circular altar decorated with pink and white blooms as well as Gina's beautiful wedding dress. You can watch the full video on her feed.
In the video, you can also see that the bride wore a ivory slip dress featuring a cowl neckline and a low back with button-detailing by Spanish brand Pronovias. Gina opted out of the veil for the event, instead accessorizing her half up-half down, wavy 'do with delicate flowers.

But the Jane the Virgin star didn't stop there: The wedding clip shows that she literally let her hair down for the reception and changed into a second dress. Her reception gown featured a sheer bustier top with pearl detailing and a full skirt. She also briefly flashed her to-die-for engagement ring in a few shots and later showed off her simple gold wedding band.
While the bride and groom didn't reveal too many more details about the wedding, Rodriguez did thank the team who helped organize the affair. "Thank you to my mother in law for the wedding of my dreams. And the village that helped her!" she wrote. "Love to our Videographers: @harrisonfilms To the greatest wedding planner, Laura @coutureconceptsny The genius behind the gorgeous flowers, Akvile @florasavenue. And to our friend and brilliant Photographer: @sylvain_vincent."
And Jane the Virgin fans will recognize the officiant as the show's Rafael (Justin Baldoni), who Gina called her "soul brother" in the Instagram caption.

Gina and Joe announced their engagement in August 2018, after fans spotted some new jewelry on her hand in pics from her Cabo birthday trip. The two met in 2016 when Joe played a stripped on Gina's hit show.
The actress has been very candid about the stress of wedding planning, revealing she and her fiancé even considered eloping at one point.
"As of this Sunday, I feel like we're going to elope. It is so much drama," she said on The Talk, per Entertainment Tonight. "There was a point where I was like, 'Everybody arrange everything. I just want to show up. I just want to do it. I want to say I do. I'm happy.' And then I started hearing what they wanted to do and I was like, 'Uh, I don't know about that.'"
We're glad Gina changed her mind on having a full-blown wedding considering the huge grins on the couple's faces.

Fresh review by outside force ordered by Police Scotland into misconduct at the SCDEA
22 May Fresh review by outside force ordered by Police Scotland into misconduct at the SCDEA
Posted at 17:00h in News	by	Sarah Vesty 0 Comments
Police Scotland have asked an external force to examine "unsatisfactory and unprofessional" conduct by a now defunct undercover policing unit.
Chief Constable Iain Livingstone revealed he has asked for a peer review of the actions allegedly carried out at the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency in 2011.
He said that while he was "entirely satisfied" that a review of the SCDEA by an in-house team was "robust and appropriate", he understands that public confidence in covert policing is vital.
The policing chief said he would ensure the force would take further action if the probe finds any further lines of enquiry or recommendations.
The misconduct was revealed by a former employee of the SCDEA who claimed she was frozen out of the job after raising concerns about the actions within the unit.
She raised a civil court action against her former bosses and told how she had discovered concerning documents in a covert mailbox which was operated by a fellow sergeant.
The woman, known as Mrs K, told a senior officer of her concerns before going back to a premises she had been using as office which she discovered it had been ransacked.
The former Grampian officer, who was seconded to the covert unit, also told how she and a colleague were told to buy a garden incinerator and petrol to destroy documents.
An internal investigation was launched where the woman was questioned by detectives over two and half days which left her feeling "degraded".
She was then told she was being suspended from her role as an undercover operative and moved to work in witness protection.
At the Court of Session in Edinburgh, Lord Brailsford ruled in the woman's favour after she raised the action against former Chief Constable Sir Stephen House.
It is understood that lawyers for Police Scotland are appealing the decision.
The SCDEA no longer exists as it was incorporated into Police Scotland, which replaced the former eight-force model in April 2013.
Chief Constable Iain Livingstone will update the Scottish Police Authority on the latest probe at a meeting in Edinburgh on Wednesday.
In a report, he said: "It is clear that the events which took place in the legacy SCDEA in 2011, as described in the civil action, were wholly unsatisfactory and unprofessional.
"I have now considered Police Scotland Review Team's conclusions and recommendations. "While I am entirely satisfied that the review was a thorough, robust and appropriate response, I recognise the legitimate interest that exists about what took place in 2011, and the importance of public confidence in the vital area of covert policing.
"To that end, I have requested that an external force, which has significant knowledge and experience in the area of covert policing, carry out a peer review to provide independent assurance.
"The purpose of this independent peer review is to ensure all legitimate enquiries have been carried out, and to identify whether there are any further lines of investigation which should be pursued.
"On completion and receipt of the peer review, I will determine what steps, if any, are required to ensure the integrity of the Police Scotland response and provide further public reassurance over this episode."

The entrance to St. Gerald School as it looks today.
The school was rebuilt after the 1967 tornado.
Photo courtesy of Oak Lawn Library History Archives.
Twelve classrooms were destroyed following the Oak Lawn tornado of 1967. Thankfully, the children were not in school at the time.
St. Gerald Church is on the 1st floor, with the school on the 2nd floor and an auditorium in the basement, ca 1947.
St. Gerald School opened on September 9, 1929, in the original St. Gerald Mission Church, located at the northwest corner of 95th and Minnick Streets in Oak Lawn. The school was founded by the Sisters of St. Francis from Clinton, Iowa, and three nuns Sr. Winifred, Sr. Patrick, and Sr. Lelia taught the first 134 students in grades 1-8.
The original church looked like a white frame cottage with eight stairs leading to double doors. Inside the church, the 3rd - 6th grade students used the kneelers as seats and the pews as their desks. Downstairs in the basement, the 1st and 2nd graders, along with the 7th and 8th graders, were taught at card tables with blankets hung to separate the classes. The classes shared one green chalkboard among them.
Just six days after school started, the cornerstone was laid for a new combination school/church building at the corner of 94th Street and 55th Avenue. In mid-December of 1929, the building opened with the church on the first floor, an auditorium in the basement, and four classrooms and the nuns' quarters on the second floor. The sisters taught two grades in each classroom. The 'old' church on 95th Street became an assembly hall and a gym. 1932 saw the beginning of students being bused in to St. Gerald from Bridgeview, Burbank, Hickory Hills, Hometown, and all of
Oak Lawn.
St. Gerald High School
During this time many children did not go on to high school but worked instead on their family farm or in their family business. In order to encourage further education since most high schools were quite a distance from Oak Lawn, the decision was made to add a high school in the new building. For one year, from September 1932 to June 1933, twenty-five students in two classes attended St. Gerald High School. Unfortunately, due to the Depression, the high school's enrollment dropped because students needed to go to work to help their families, and the high school was closed.
A New Addition
In 1949 a new addition to the school was completed, adding six new classrooms and a convent. By 1957, due to the tremendous growth in the area, ten more classrooms were added to the existing school. Four others were built as a link between the church and the school, and the existing church was converted into six more classrooms. A new church was also built.
A Growing Parish and School Community
Between 1956 and 1966 the population of Oak Lawn nearly doubled. Two new Catholic parishes were established in Oak Lawn, and St. Gerald School grew exponentially. The average class size was 60 students with double sessions (morning and afternoon) becoming a necessity. By 1964 ten buses were transporting students to and from the school.
The Oak Lawn Tornado
At 5:27 P.M. on April 21, 1967, a tornado ripped through Oak Lawn, taking over thirty lives and causing millions of dollars worth of damage. At St. Gerald twelve classrooms were completely destroyed and much damage was done to the rectory. The St. Gerald community, nonetheless, felt grateful. Had the tornado occurred one hour earlier, classes would still have been in session. Had it been just one hour later, the fifth and sixth grade students would have been arriving for Confirmation classes.
Once the storm abated, parishioners formed a human chain to pass every textbook, desk, and piece of equipment still salvageable from the destroyed classrooms to the church basement. Within ten days students were back at school. The Oak Lawn community pulled together to provide classrooms for students at Brandt, Gasteyer, and Covington Schools, along with Burbank Manor Presbyterian, Pilgrim Faith, and St. Germaine Churches.
During the 1967-1968 school year, mobile units were set up in the parking lot for the first graders, and the 7th and 8th grade students used the undamaged classrooms. Other students were bused to Burbank Manor Presbyterian Church and St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church.
Not a parish to ever give up, the parishioners were determined to build again. On September 9, 1968, the new school with twenty-four classrooms and six renovated classrooms opened.
As you can see, St. Gerald School and Parish have quite a history, rich in tradition, faith, and determination. That sense of history, deep faith, and steadfast determination carries through to today, where St. Gerald School is still.....a great place to be!
This summary is of the school's history as told in "St. Gerald: Oak Lawn, Illinois", a limited edition book published in 1984, and compiled from church documents, newspapers, and parishioner and former students' recollections.

Interview With David H. Mould, Author Of Postcards From The Borderlands
In Postcards from the Borderlands, historian and journalist David Mould explores what borders mean to their peoples. David talks to Book Glow about the book.
Describe the book in one sentence.
Postcards from the Borderlands by David H. Mould
A casual but informed ramble—by car, bus, shared taxi and ferry—through a dozen countries in Africa and Asia, exploring how their borders came to be, and what they mean today, both to their peoples and their governments.
What led you to write it?
I've always been fascinated by maps and borders. Who created them, and how have they changed over time? In some parts of the world, they make no sense. They don't follow natural dividing features, such as rivers and mountain ranges, but are straight lines. Who drew them this way? As a historian, I've studied how borders have shifted over time as countries went to war, empires rose and fell, and European colonial powers grabbed chunks of Africa and Asia. Over more than 25 years of travel, mostly in the developing world, I experienced the challenges of crossing borders, shakedowns by guards and customs officers, and so on. I also know that some borders are not marked on the maps—they exist in our minds. I decided to bring together my personal experiences and research into a book that looks at borders, both real and imagined.
How long did it take to write?
Not that long—around four months earlier this year (2020). That was one benefit of the coronavirus. I was forced to work from home, and found plenty of time to do research, think and write. In another sense, it's taken me 25 years to write. In December 1995, I had my first experience in the developing world when I spent a month in Osh in southern Kyrgyzstan on a UNESCO project to establish a training center for journalists. I started writing about the experiences of living and working in a country that, four years after the fall of the Soviet Union, was experiencing a wrenching economic, social, and political transition. Since then, I've worked throughout Central, South and Southeast Asia and Southern Africa, collecting stories as I travel.
Do you prefer writing in one genre over another?
Although I had an academic career, I'm a journalist by training, a storyteller by inclination. Over the years, my writing style has evolved so that now I'm most comfortable in what's usually called creative nonfiction—factual narratives that weave together research and experience and are told using some of the devices of fiction, such as plots, characters, mini-climaxes and so on.
What book most influenced your life?
That's a tough question because different books have influenced me in different ways. In terms of how I think about history and geography, I'll cite David Lowenthal's classic, The Past is a Foreign Country, for its insights on how we look at time and place and adjust them to our present circumstances. My model for the kind of stuff I write is Elizabeth Pisani's Indonesia Etc., a book that could only be written by someone who has traveled widely in a country and has a deep and nuanced understanding of its history, politics and culture.
Where do you write?
In what I loosely call my office (third floor of home, also used for storage). I also "write in my head," so to speak. While I'm walking my dog Geordie or on a long drive, ideas or phrases come to my mind. I jot them down as soon as I can. In that sense, I'm always writing.
Is there any one thing that especially frustrates you about the writing process?
I am lucky because most of the time the words flow easily. Maybe that's because of my journalism training; working in TV news, I had to work fast and churn out a lot of stories every day. These days, I don't have daily or hourly deadlines, but I still write fast; assuming I have a general idea of where I'm going, I don't have a problem writing 1,500 to 2,000 words in a few hours. Those words will change, of course, as I go back, edit and shift around paragraphs. The only frustration I experience is getting down the first sentence or paragraph of a chapter. Once that's done, even in draft form, I fly.
Any advice for novice writers?
First, don't agonize over every word or sentence. Just keep writing, even if you know you can do better. You'll never get it right the first time, not that there is ever a real right anyway. It's easier to return to a draft after a break that allows you to view your writing critically. That's when you shuffle around sections and paragraphs, fill in the gaps, clarify. Second, ask someone else—preferably not a friend or family member—to review. Tell them to let you know what doesn't make sense, what questions they have, where the gaps are. Some people will want to copy edit, but detailed editing does not help you when you're trying to shape a story. The correction of typos and the Oxford commas come later in the process.
I'm working with an author who has been doing research on her family for almost 20 years and has collected stacks of material—diaries, letters, newspaper articles and so on. It's a historical epic, spanning more than two centuries from the Revolutionary War to the 1960s, and features three prominent families—from Boston, New York and Georgia—their politics, social reforms and philanthropy, and a lurking, unspoken
connection to slavery. It's a hybrid, part memoir, part creative nonfiction and part historical recreation. And it's being told mostly from the perspectives of the women in the family. I also have a novel I started writing on a flight to Asia two years ago, and then put aside. It's set in a region I know—the rust belt and Polygon nuclear zone of northern Kazakhstan. For me, it's an experiment in fiction writing, although it draws heavily on places and people I know. We'll see where it goes.

Around The Races In Eighty Days
A horse racing odyssey
Horses That Shouldn't Have Won 4
Neil 27/09/2017
4) Cool Ground – Cheltenham Gold Cup (12 March 1992)
I'm a pretty laid back guy, but just occasionally something unjust or distasteful sparks my anger and here was a fine example from a quarter of a century ago (was it really that long?)
Carvill's Hill was the worthy Evens favourite in a field of eight having earlier destroyed the opposition under top weight on heavy ground in the Welsh National. To put that performance into context, which many keen judges rate as one of the finest by a staying chaser ever, Party Politics received 19 pounds and a 20 length beating in second place before winning the Grand National later that season.
In horse racing parlance Carvill's Hill 'had an engine', which nowadays might prompt an investigation by the BHA integrity department, but back then just prompted plaudits from all that were lucky enough to see him in action. His one weakness was a slightly awkward style of jumping a fence, and one that was to be mercilessly exploited by trainer Jenny Pitman who had two horses in the race – Toby Tobias, who finished second in the 1990 Gold Cup to Norton's Coin, and 150/1 no-hoper Golden Freeze.
It was soon clear why Golden Freeze had been entered after the flagged dropped and he harried Carvill's Hill into a mistake at the first. Instead of going on at a steady pace, his jockey then waited for Carvill's Hill to go past and then sped up again. If you look at the picture below, you don't see many jockeys driving low in the saddle after 2 fences, especially when they have been restraining their mount just a few strides before.
Carvill's Hill momentarily leads Golden Freeze
The video is available on YouTube and damning evidence it makes, with the legendary commentator Peter O'Sullevan noting that the outsider was "clearly trying to bustle" the favourite. It's known in racing circles as a 'stalking horse' and is theoretically illegal, although as the clowns at the Jockey Club proved at a later inquiry, is quite hard to prove.
The unrepentant Pitman said that Golden Freeze was "running on his own merits" and threatened to sue those that said otherwise, but ATRIED is not afraid of the bully dubbed 'the Winnie Mandela of racing' and as always tells it straight: it was plain to everyone who saw the race that her horse was not running on his own merits but solely there to hassle Carvill's Hill.
It can't have been easy for Pitman to be a female trainer in those days, but that she chose to go about her business by being more aggressive and obnoxious than any of her male counterparts sullies her own legacy as much as the reputation of racing.
The ugly scenes of that day, as well as her brazen and shameless denials later, have resonated over the decades and the race remains the least satisfactory of Gold Cup renewals. Cool Ground's connections can also, bizarrely, be miffed at Pitman's tactics as it denied their horse the limelight in a tremendous finish over The Fellow and Docklands Express.
Perhaps the worst aspect of the whole disgraceful episode, though, was that we were denied the opportunity of seeing just how great Carvill's Hill could have been – he staggered painfully over the line in a distant fifth, having suffered back injuries so severe that he never raced again. Shame on you, Jenny Pitman.
(As a quite astonishing postscript, in June she was appointed by the BHA as a member of the new disciplinary panel and licensing committee. Anyone can make a mistake, but to employ somebody who has so vehemently and spitefully denied that mistake for so many years shows that the BHA are in an even worse mess than I previously thought.)

While awaiting the release of the next book in the Mortal Instruments series, i.e., #4 City of Fallen Angles on April 5, thought i should look for something light and there were loads of books in my (late) great aunt's bookshelf and viola….i found Strife, A Drama in three Acts by John Galsworthy.
The Summary of the drama goes as follows
WILDER. [Breaking in fussily.] It's a regular mess. I don't like the position we're in; I don't like it; I've said so for a long time. [Looking at WANKLIN] When Wanklin and I came down here before Christmas it looked as if the men must collapse. You thought so too, Underwood. Written in 1907 and first performed in 1909.
John Galsworthy was an English novelist and playwright whose literary career spanned the Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian eras. In addition to his prolific literary status, Galsworthy was also a renowned social activist. He was an outspoken advocate for the women's suffrage movement, prison reform and animal rights. Galsworthy was the president of PEN, an organization that sought to promote international cooperation through literature. John Galsworthy was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932 "for his distinguished art of narration which takes its highest form in The Forsyte Saga."
Onto a little bit about the drama
The drama as stated from the title only consists of 3 acts, so it definitely has to be to-the-point and concise and lengthy and boring.
It so does does the trick, not only is it short and concise but also moves at a pace of its own. The whole drama bases itself on the scenario prevalent around a company, named 'Trenartha Tin Plate Works' facing a strike by the workers asking for better wages and conditions of work environment.
As can be expected from a company facing a strike it is not just the higher official, a.k.a the board member of the company at a stand-still, i.e., the contracts as well as all the manufacturing and construction are not completed on time but also the worker's family is affected by such a strife. Also accountable in the affected equation are the shareholders who buy stakes at the said companies. The plays centers around the struggles faced by all factions of the societies in such bitter conflicts of interests where both leaders won't budge from their stances (in this case Mr. Anthony, the chairman of the company & Mr. Roberts a very outspoken worker) and the 'trade union' is seen as the peacemakers for both sides.
Now a play is written to be performed, and the printed text, like a musical score, is simply the basis for a performance. When reading to himself the reader should hear and see everything, and the practiced, imaginative reader can stage a good performance in his own mind. But drama is a communal art; it is only as a combination of sound, movement and pictorial effect, presented to an audience, that a play can come fully to life. The reactions of the audience are a vital element. If the group wish to please an audience they should not choose Strife for performance unless they can cast it fairly well, and in particular they must have players who can give acceptable renderings of Anthony and Roberts.
Keeping all the technicalities of theater aside, Strife is a fast, concise and compact scenario-oriented examination on a particular place and time. Extends its ideological meaning over some part of human pride and power. Stereotypes were many but so one dimensional as to be unpalatable.

Someone here know how to integrate paypal with angular or imports others scripts to be used in application.  o/

A: It seems like the paypal js is not getting loaded or the angular script is running before it is loaded.
I put the script in the html index.html :)

A: You need to add jQuery library.You should include it before PAYPAL library.

A: I'm working in a project with Angular 5 and I'd like to share my (almost) final solution to integrate Paypal Plus folowing the tipps from @Gleidson Ferreira.
On the head of the index.html:

On the checkout.component.ts:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
declare var PAYPAL: any;

@Component({
    selector: 'checkout',
    templateUrl: './checkout.component.html'
})
export class CheckoutComponent implements OnInit {
    paypalPlus: any;

    ngOnInit() {

    // TODO: add further customization to get your own proval URL dinamically
    this.paypalPlus = PAYPAL.apps.PPP(
    {
     'approvalUrl': 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token=EC-31737613MN931841V',
      'placeholder': 'ppplus',
       'mode': 'sandbox'
    });
}

Last month Reyes Gallegos (@rellitas) from La Ciudad Viva (@laciudadviva) have sent me some questions about Citizenship, Participation and Technology. I would like share with you my answers translated to english. You can read the original version in spanish here.
I hope you will appreciate the interview: I will be grateful if you want to leave a comment.
Hello Domenico. What is your idea about citizenship? Does this concept have to be broadened in our digital times?
When we talk about citizenship, it is very difficult to find a definition we all agree with. We often refer to a group of people who belong to a particular society which is organised according to legal and political attributes. This definition proves that a citizen needs to participate in order to belong to the society; however, in western societies we have seen how citizens are gradually moving away from this "political" space.
Certainly, part of the responsibility falls on the capitalist/consumer model, which has separated productive/economic processes from local communities and its territories; on the other hand, the governance infrastructures of democratic inspiration have ended transforming the idea of citizenship in an instrumental and "automatic" fact, a type of inheritance or legacy.
This is why I would like to suggest a definition which can strongly and better reflect the historical moment we are living and the new forms of social and political organization to come.
In my opinion, citizenship refers to a multitude which is connected and inhabits a glocal and networked territory.
In order to be clearer, I need to explain what I understand by a connected multitude, the sense in which I use the verb "inhabit" and what do I mean when I talk about glocal and networked territory.
In Spinoza's opinion, multitude represents a large number which remains as such in the public scene, in joint action, in the management of common issues, without converging in a single issue, without evaporating in a centripetal movement. I believe a connected multitude is a large number which recognises itself and is capable of self-legitimization in order to act according to processes of collective intelligence which transform and improve the territory it inhabits.
Finally, by "inhabiting a territory" I do not mean the action of "being" in it, but the ability to create activities, processes and relations which repeat, reinforce or transform a territory beyond the simple use or presence.
To go more deeply into this subject, I recommend reading a small book which I have written together with Igor Calzada (@icalzada) and Adolfo Chautón (@adolfochauton). The title of the book is "Macro. Meso. Micro. Systemic Framework of Territory from Social Innovation" available for free download on http://macromesomicro.com website.
What is participation for you? How should citizens exercise it?
The same as with the concept of citizenship, I cannot think of the concept of participation without contextualizing and looking towards the future at the same time. Traditionally, we have associated this word with processes which allow citizens to be directly involved in decision-making; a way of going beyond processes of representation and delegation.
Even though I am aware that this has been accomplished in very few occasions, in this historical times we are living we need to move in a more "daring" direction.
Today participation should not be focused on managing but on experimenting new ways of constructing what is common. The aim is not to involve citizens in managing what is public but to create the necessary space of freedom for new models of citizens to arise.
We need to imagine a new model of governance and therefore new public and common infrastructures. This is the issue we are working on from the 15muebles platform, formed by @basurama @zuloark @acorsin @adolfoestalella and me, with the special participation of @skotperez.
Today, infrastructures based on democratic principles are not able to go along with and accept the processes of new connected and positioned multitudes which organise themselves to create new spaces of collaboration and opportunities. This is why exercising participation nowadays means necessarily to constantly move the line of what is imaginable, obviously without disregarding common sense.
As my friend Maria Laura Del Tento says, reality needs to be imagined first.
In other words, I think citizens can understand participation not only as the necessary involvement in decision-making which affects their own habitat but also as a process of collective thought and action capable of generating structures which are valuable for everybody (commons) and good practice that can be developed by public administration.
In this sense, it is clear that we cannot think of recipes but each territory needs to find out its own way. As Igor Calzada rightly says, place does matter, like never before.
What instruments of participation should public administrations provide/use?
First of all, I think a change of attitude is necessary. Administrators (people) should honestly accept that public administration is very distant from citizens and does not find within its own processes the ability to reduce this distance. Strange as it may seem, I find it clear that we undergo a new transition. Processes of representation do not work as they used to and we, together, need to experiment and imagine new models.
Many citizens are already starting to move and take responsibility for their environment. These are citizens who do not only choose but who create their own reality. Their way of working is far from the partisan logic and, therefore, does not find political or institutional support. Unfortunately, this type of self-organization is often seen by public administrations as a faction with no official representation in institutions and, thus, lacking any interest or even as illegitimate.
From my point of view, the first step is to observe and better understand these phenomena in order to ascertain in which way can local administrations better interact with citizens and develop solutions which reflect proper common sense. An example of this is the Astra building in Gernika, a self-managed cultural centre which is the result of a dialogue between citizens and council: citizens manage the centre independently while the council takes charge of maintenance expenses.
The best forms of interaction between citizens and public institutions can only be established through real trials following the proposals made by citizens themselves. Since this form of innovation can hardly originate in the administration itself, it is better that citizens are allowed to do, without being left alone.
Citizens now have a great capacity to imagine and create new urban infrastructures in a collaborative and inclusive way. Citizens are already moving the line of the imaginable. Now, politicians, local administrations and all institutions belonging to an inherited and declining ecosystem can either strongly oppose or, otherwise, allow this experimentation.
In Campo de Cebada, in Madrid, we seem to find the second alternative: the council has allowed a group of citizens (a connected multitude) to manage an available space right in the centre of the town. This space has turned out to be a real laboratory where opportunities and good and bad practices can be experimented to create a new model of participation. Campo de Cebada is a public space in continuous transformation where a driving group generates the necessary structure for the project to be open. Administrations, from whatever town they may be, should be able to find out about this exceptional case, so that they can discuss it with those who develop similar projects and acquire the basic knowledge required in order to understand where to start and what practices have worked better or worse.
How can new technologies influence these forms of participation?
New technologies are already playing a very important role by increasing communication effectiveness, which is essential for collective intelligence and adhocratic processes. They allow us to distribute huge amounts of information in an independent, fast, transparent and horizontal way.
The same concept of connected multitude refers precisely to our ability to exchange information in a horizontal way, something which is much easier thanks to Internet.
We are situated right at the beginning of an important process of digitalization of tacit knowledge or, in other words, of the cultural landscape that surrounds us. Therefore, we need to experiment and fully understand the potential of the tools operating in this digital dimension.
Social networks have undoubtedly made us feel an increasing interest in our own image but, at the same time, we have started to pay less attention to the sole flow of information of mass communication media, which surrounds us all equally everyday.
We are undergoing the beginning, the first stage, of a process which can go a long way and change many things. Now that almost all of us appear in some social networks, we start realizing what digital identity really is and how important it is. We start to be aware of and to use it in order to develop as citizens.We can consider this a relatively fast process if take into account that social networks are barely 10 years old.
A very illustrative case is that of Social Street, initiated in Italy by a neighbour from "Via Fondazza" in Bologna, who started using Facebook to connect with all his neighbours from the same street and ended up creating an ecosystem of local communication which has enabled residents who did not know each other to exchange and participate in collaborative projects. Another example is that of Cercamia (project I am involved in) which allows residents to connect with their neighbours according to their interests and uses a complementary digital coin that helps to increase the capacity of exchange.
We are witnessing an intensification of the interaction existing between the digital and physical dimensions. We are increasingly using digital communication to connect and do something useful or interesting with the people surrounding us.
Going back to projects of urban innovation, or simply to the needs of processes of participation, new technologies offer us the opportunity to communicate in real time what is happening in any type of process. It is an essential element to add transparency and for any person who cannot be present at a certain event to participate digitally and in a public form.
We are just at the beginning of a great change in our entire form of communicating and establishing relationships with our neighbours, and the public administration, just as it has provided us with physical infrastructures, should start offering digital infrastructures for citizens.
I relieve the next fundamental steps are those which will eventually connect the triangle of universities, local administrations and citizens. We need more transparency, more communication and more interaction within this triangle, and new technologies can greatly help us to achieve it.
We need to know what is being taught at universities just as we need absolute transparency and easy access to all information related to the public administration. Studies, research and all processes of governance need a direct interaction with citizens. And, why not, we also need universities and councils to be fully aware of the activities carried out by the new connected multitudes, we need them to analyse, observe and criticise these activities, the same as they do with any political decision, because this is the only way we can move closer to the new reality we imagine and we deserve.
Today, that intangible part of the town has a new ally, the digital dimension, a new public space where everybody can store information so that it can be freely accessed. This way, information relating to residents, streets, history and businesses in a specific neighbourhood does not remain stagnant but starts to be accessible for much more people than before.
Why do you think participation and direct communication of citizens with the public administration does not work?
The problem is to see citizens as a group of people who communicates with the public administration individually or organised in groups of interest. In this sense, the public administration moves in a legal framework which is rarely flexible and according to the capability of representation of that person or group of interest. The result is a failed participation, which eventually depends on a delicate balance of electoral consensus. This is something which may have been reasonable a few years ago but completely inadequate in the present situation.
To make myself clearer, I need to introduce a concept which I have found revealing and which I have started to reflect on thanks to a very interesting session of Think Commons with Mayo Fuster: the multiple belonging.
The democratic system is organised according to the idea of exclusive belonging, which is why we have designed laws and infrastructures that understood citizens organised in homogenous large groups who need to discuss and organise themselves in order to live together. The result is a society which is organised according large packages, being these professional, economic, social or political.
For the last few years we have been experimenting with processes and technologies that help us remove intermediaries and allow us to organise according to a different logic, where each citizen belongs to different groups with different ideas depending on the particular issue.
The connected multitude, who does not organise itself according to an organic group of interest but according to their wish to directly transform something in their own habitat, is actually structured in an adhocratic way, i.e. it is not based on the interaction between existing groups of interest (or political groups) but it is structured as it goes along building their protocols in a horizontal way which is completely independent from every other process. In this sense, we experiment multiple belonging precisely because anyone can collaborate with people who, in other contexts or issues, may have a totally different opinion.
As the connected multitude is not structured according to pre-existing groups, it moves away from the burden or influence which other processes may have inherited. An homogeneous group organised according to a stable structure ends up being much more determined by its own history and internal balance.
Now, if the administration still views this multitude from the perspective of their capacity of representation, our discussions will continue falling on deaf ears. Obviously, we still do not know how to organise ourselves according to this much more spread logic, but it is clear that the representative democratic system is no more the finishing line but the starting point.
Administrations need to communicate with citizens in the legitimate way provided by the democratic infrastructures but open to new models which are closer to the adhocratic logic this connected multitude tends to follow.
