Story by Adam Peterson (Read author interview) June 22, 2013
art by Ashley Inguanta
A boy died over winter break. They found him among the cottonwood trees pushed off the trail that ran alongside the river, and now we don't have recess anymore.
I knew the trail—ran it, biked it, haunted it on Halloween. We all had, even that break, my friends and I had taken a group of girls down there. Our jackets were dark blue. Theirs were sky blue and had clouds of fake white fur lining the edges. I tried to kiss June Davis because it was my definition of romantic—the snow, the river, the silence, the body. Well, we didn't know about the body, but she refused me anyway. When she did know, when we both knew, I wanted only to find her and tell her I was sorry.
I had nothing to apologize for as far as the boy was concerned. Finding him would have only made a kiss less likely. Still, he was there, just off the path, covered by a half-inch of clean snow, no jacket.
The boy's name was Alex. Every year in school he sat behind me, but not right behind me, somewhere in the shadows of the classroom, his small voice answering Here until he wasn't. Even when names were alphabetical he sat back there. Zimmer, as if someone had always known.
We thought it was stupid to cancel recess just because of a murderer. It seemed unfair to teach us about mortality then not let us live. We would not have said that then. We would have said, Alex would have wanted us to go outside.
We would have been lying. Alex always sat alone at recess, up the hill near the school's door, as if he couldn't wait to get back inside. Maybe he had always known, too.
I only wanted to be outside so I could ask June Davis if she wanted to take shelter from the murderer inside one of the playground's red tunnels. There I would try to kiss her again, even if it meant talking to her about death and how little time we all had, and how we were so lucky to be out here at recess on a break from all the psychiatrists who kept talking to us through puppets.
We're still here, I'd say. You and I.
At night I'd think about these things until I was fighting off the murderer and saving June and it was summer and Alex was still dead and his body now buried by sun. I could sacrifice Alex to these fantasies and tell myself he would not have died in vain.
But there was no recess. We played board games or watched movies all through the spring and then when summer came we were released. We ran so fast we lost the girls by the time we came to the path. We did not wear jackets. We threw off our shoes. We reached the place where he died and we did not stop.

What to Know About Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer used to be the leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, the number of cases and deaths have decreased significantly in the past 40 years. Today, it is the fourth most common cancer in women. This decline can be attributed to more and more women getting regular Pap tests, which can find cervical precancers. If detected early and managed effectively, cervical cancer is one of the most successfully treatable forms of cancer.
What Is Cervical Cancer?
The cervix connects the uterus (womb) to the vagina (birth canal). It is the place where the baby grows during pregnancy. Cervical cancer occurs when cells in this region change or slowly grow out of control. Although all women are at risk for cervical cancer, this disease most often affects women over age 30.
Exposure to certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. HPV is a common virus that spreads from person to person through sexual contact. At least half of sexually active people will have HPV at some point in their lives and are able to fight the infection or simply resolve on its own and cause no symptoms, but persistent infection can cause cervical cancer in women.
Not all types of HPV cause cervical cancer. Some types cause genital or skin warts and other skin disorders.
What Are the Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer?
Anything that increases your chance of getting a disease is called a risk factor, but it does not necessarily mean you will get cancer in the same way that not having risk factors does not mean that you will not get cancer.
Other risk factors for cervical cancer include the following:
Having HIV (the virus that causes AIDS)
Having weakened immune system due to long-term immunosuppression from taking medicine to help prevent organ rejection after a transplant
Being sexually active at a very young age
Having multiple sexual partners
Using birth control pills for a long time (five or more years)
Having given birth to three or more children
Being exposed to the drug diethylstilbestrol (DES) while in the mother's womb
What Are the Symptoms of Cervical Cancer?
Since cervical cancer develops slowly over time, there are usually no signs and symptoms early on but it may cause vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain later on, including:
Vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse, between periods or after menopause
Unusual vaginal discharge
Pain during sexual intercourse
What are the Stages of Cervical Cancer?
A four-stage system is used to assess how far the cancer has spread and whether it has reached other nearby organs.
Stage 1: Cancer cells have formed and is found in the cervix only.
Stage 2: The cancer has now moved to the upper two-thirds of the vagina or to the tissue around the uterus, but not as far as the walls of the pelvis or the lower part of the vagina. It may or may not affect nearby lymph nodes.
Stage 3: Cancer cells are present in the lower part of the vagina or the walls of the pelvis and/or has caused kidney problems and/or involves lymph nodes.
Stage 4: The cancer has spread beyond the pelvis and has spread to the lining of the bladder or rectum. It has spread to other parts of the body, including the liver, bones, lungs and lymph nodes.
Treatments include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy depending on the kind of cervical cancer and how far it has spread.
What Can I Do to Reduce My Risk?
Women as early as the age of 21 can get screened regularly to lower the risk for cervical cancer. There are two screening options to help prevent or detect cervical cancer early.
Pap test (or Pap smear) – this procedure involves gently scraping cells from the surface of the cervix and vagina using a cotton, a brush or a small wooden stick to look for precancers that may develop into cervical cancer if they are not treated appropriately.
HPV test – this laboratory test is used to check the DNA or RNA for certain types of HPV infection that can cause cell changes. The test may be done using the sample of cells removed during a Pap test.
What is the HPV Vaccine?
The HPV vaccine protects against the types of HPV that commonly cause cervical cancers and prevents new HPV infections. However, it does not treat existing infections or diseases. The HPV vaccine works best when given before exposure to HPV.
The vaccine is recommended for preteens aged 11 to 12 years but can be given starting at age 9. It is not recommended for everyone older than age 26 years because HPV vaccination in this age range provides less benefit, as more people have already been exposed to HPV. Those who have received an HPV vaccine should still get screened for cervical cancer regularly.
It is important to get the recommendation of your treating physician to properly assess your eligibility for an HPV vaccine. If you experience any of the symptoms mentioned earlier, seek medical attention immediately.

Q: Caliburn.Micro disable default click event for ItemsControl I have a ViewModel which inherits from Conductor<T>.Collection.OneActive. In the View I bound a DataGrid to the Items property and a ContentControl to ActiveItem.
<ContentControl x:Name="ActiveItem" DockPanel.Dock="Top"/>
    <DataGrid x:Name="Items" AutoGenerateColumns="False" SelectionMode="Single" DockPanel.Dock="Top"
              cal:Message.Attach="[Event MouseDoubleClick] = [Action test]">
        <DataGrid.Columns>
            <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding CountryCode}" Width="10*"/>
            <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Country}" Width="90*" />
        </DataGrid.Columns>
    </DataGrid>
</ContentControl>

It's working fine, except one thing: I want to activate the DetailsViewModel when one of the Grid's row was DoubleClicked. My void test() method gets invoked nicely, but I can not disable the Click method.
Any suggestion?
EDIT
Maybe i was not clear enough. My problem is the default behavior of the Conductor<T>. It should not activate the details screen for one left click but for double.
EDIT 2
By Nkosi's help finally figured out some workaround:
Simply changed ContentControl binding from ActiveItem to ActiveScreen.
<ContentControl x:Name="ActiveScreen" DockPanel.Dock="Top"/>

In the ViewModel created the ActiveScreen property:
private T mActiveScreen;
public T ActiveScreen
{
    get { return mActiveScreen; }
    set
    {
        mActiveScreen = value;
        NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => ActiveScreen);
    }
}

In the bound method for MouseDoubleClick you just have to set ActiveScreen to ActiveItem.
    public void test()
    {
        ActiveScreen = ActiveItem;
    }

A: Caliburn has an action guard feature where Can{MethodName} acts as a guard for the action to be invoked. It can be either a property or another method, once it follows the convention.
So given
public void test() { ... }

its guard would look like
public bool Cantest {
    get { return //..what ever is the condition needed to allow/disable action
}

or
public bool Cantest() {
    return //..what ever is the condition needed to allow/disable action
}

Caliburn documentation - All About Actions

Another important feature to note is Action guards. When a handler is
  found for the "SayHello" message, it will check to see if that class
  also has either a property or a method named "CanSayHello." If you
  have a guard property and your class implements
  INotifyPropertyChanged, then the framework will observe changes in
  that property and re-evaluate the guard accordingly.

A:
In Caliburn.Micro EventAggregator concept is thier. Read that concept that will help you
Publish the message in current viewmodel and subscribe in DetailsViewModel.
Its works.

Q: How-To MultiTarget Both SilverLight 4 and WPF Application? How can I MultiTarget Both SilverLight 4 and WPF Application ?

A: The standard approach is to create a solution that contains a WPF project and a Silverlight project, both created using the new project wizard or one can be your existing project.  Then add files in one project to the other project using links (Add -> Existing Item -> Add -> Drop-down arrow -> Add as link).  Then use #if SILVERLIGHT to handle any platform differences.

A: As far as I know you will probably work with compiler flags. Why not learn from a project that does target WPF, Silverlight etc.? You could e.g. check out Caliburn.Micro

My kids are all about the latest technology: the coolest, fastest smartphones, video games, computers, gadgets of every kind. "What will they think of next?" is the way we traditionally marvel about it. And, as Americans, we celebrate it with our dollars. But when it comes to medicine, the latest is often not the greatest. There are risks when you are putting something new in your body and there can be consequences that are more significant than trying a new piece of electronics.
The latest example is hip implants. These are the medical devices used when someone has debilitating hip pain – usually from arthritis. A new hip ball and socket could give that person back their mobility and relieve them from pain. Hip joint replacement has been around for years and several companies make hundreds of millions of dollars selling them. It's lucrative for orthopedic surgeons and hospitals too. It's competitive. Should you have this model or that one? Should you go to Dr. Smith at hospital X where he has performed more with the new device than anyone in the region? Or should you go to Dr. Brown who is more conservative? Marketing muddies the water, and your interest in getting the latest medicine has to offer colors your choice.
If you decided to go with the newest and latest version of the hip replacement device, thinking that newer means better, in this case it appears that you may have picked wrong. It is turning out that fairly new, U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved metal on metal hip joints have a problem that wasn't seen in lab testing. Some of the time microscopic pieces of metal from the joints are floating around the body. And the doctors who pledged to "do no harm" unwittingly did. Devices are being removed in second surgeries.
As a patient you'd have to wonder, how did this happen? How did the FDA approve something that later proved harmful? Why did board certified doctors stake their reputations on something new that turned out to be inferior to, and more risky than, the old standby approach? Unfortunately, that is the state of medicine today.
The FDA will be quick to point out they do not 'approve' drugs or medical devices, the 'clear' them. Mr. Schorr is quite correct, though, there is no need for a drug or device to be an improvement on time tested items already on the market; they must only submit data proving equivalency in effectiveness and safety. Although testing --often requiring years--is done there is no way to expose the drug or device to the number of applications it will see in the real world; therefore, the lower probability risks will escape notice until after market release. A conservative physician will steer patients to the standard-of-care treatment and await further reports.

Earlier we reported on efforts by the city centre manager, Andrew Cooper, to get a Business Improvement District established in our city centre. We now learn that detailed proposals will go to council leaders and business owners in the next few weeks. If voted through and fully subscribed these proposals would include a permanent team of five focussing on the cleanliness and management of city centre streets, an award scheme for businesses reaching exemplary standards in the management of their premises and their surroundings, an organisation which would help to manage the night time economy, a marketing drive which would include festivals and cultural events and improving access to the city centre.
Yes, this is a business-led initiative and it will be important to ensure that residents' interests are not overlooked and that the BID creates real additional resources, not just more lobbyists, but TARA believes, on balance, that the Bath BID represents a real prospect of channelling the additional funding in the city centre to make real the many improvements in our surroundings we would like to see.
These are important proposals and we urge the council, Future Bath Plus and the city centre business community to get behind them. Anyone who would like to see what can be achieved should visit Northumberland Place where local businesses have already acted together to make a colourful and vibrant street out of what was becoming a grimy and unkempt backwater. Congratulations to the Northumberland Place community and to FBP's Environment Panel chaired by Graham Webb of St Johns.

Not just the interface between brain and mind. Also the interface between self and other, pieces and the whole, man and society. That was the job of philosophers: To develop a new vocabulary, because the vocabularies that evolved since we stood on two legs have failed to keep up.
We're blinded by these limits of our inherited languages, the evolved systems of our brain, and the obvious material success of abstraction. Except for mystics, who spoke in riddles: everything is nothing, the void, being itself, be here now.
But the words, and the images, have been right in front of us the whole time, we just couldn't see: It's a wave, an organization, created by simple sets of rules, that communicates across the interface between systems.
A school of fish has coherence, but there isn't time for a message to spread to each fish to turn "left." The school remains organized because each fish inherited simple rules about how far to stay from its neighbor. Rules about proximity keep a flock of geese together in the wind.
Similar rules allow traffic to flow on the freeways. We don't think of water molecules as having free will, but the very same mathematics that describe the flow of a fluid describes the flow of traffic. Someone hit their brakes when their coffee spilled, and set up a whorl that persisted for hours.
All we know at the interface is a set of simple rules. Don't change lanes if someone is there. Don't rear end the car in front of you. Those rules result in behavior that is wave-like when viewed in the aggregate.
We can't imagine an ocean wave without water. But we can imagine that wave as an organization of information about an earthquake that occurred hours ago and thousands of miles away. Time and space. Look closer. Several waves. Closer still, a single wave. Peak and valley. Each part of the wave reflects information about the earthquake, a hologram, a fractal.
Clarity decreases the tighter we focus, according to Heisenberg. The wave disappears, organization disappears, when we look only at a water molecule and don't know where it's going.
What's worse: that monad may be influenced by more than one wave at a time. Another wave from a squall near Hawaii interferes with the earthquake message, sends information that reenforces or perhaps cancels, temporarily, the movement of one molecule. Our driver pulls to the side of the road to let an ambulance pass. Different rules apply, then don't, and traffic flows like water.
Blended chords wash over us, conveying laughter, or sadness. Remove the oboe, then the violins. Look small enough and the last musical note is nothing but a blip, as frequency disappears. Then, what we see is the result of what we have chosen to look at, and it's no longer a symphony.
At the interface, simple rules convey information between systems in ways that seem like magic, when spoken in our old languages, to brains that evolved subsystems to dodge snakes and run from tigers. That brain never needed to know that neural net subsystems process, reenforce and cancel, to achieve results feeding other nets, waves of information flowing in both directions.
We talk as if we live in a binary world. Yes/No, zeros/ones, self/other, alive/dead. But we do not. We live in a world of potentials, of gradients, of transmission — of waves that bounce, bend and reflect upward and downward, information conveyed by simple rules at the interface that lead to organization, causation in both directions.
Mathematician Gödel blew up one of the grandest efforts of philosophy in the 20th century with the observation that any self-referencing system could not be both coherent and complete. For wonderful explanations of this, see Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter.
But if we assume that any such system both refers to itself and does not, then incoherence, or incompleteness, disappears. Is that itself incoherent? Not if we let Gödel pet Schrodinger's cat, a potentiality, a wave, peak and valley, pressure and not, created by rules that govern observation of elements in the subsystem.
Waves exist because of alternation over time communicated by rules between elements. For a single molecule, there is no wave, just a monad in waiting, ready to follow rules that don't apply until it moves. Hit the brakes to keep the distance, then accelerate, change lanes to fill the gap and traffic flows like water, or sand through an hour glass, described by simple equations that do not reference free will.
Here is the tricky part. Where do those rules come from? Why does the spiral of sunflower seeds match the spiral of a conch, and both match the spiral of this galaxy? Fractals may be Fibonacci's children, but math does not govern, it describes something that does. What is that? Being as such, the Hand of God, a chance collection of rules that may or may not apply in the universe of dimensions next door?
I don't know. But a key to the door may be that simple rules between entities create organisms of information that have the power of causation between systems and subsystems that otherwise seem unrelated, to our old paradigms. I believe this crossing at the interface can best be described by the mathematics, and metaphor, of waves.

Solidarity Economics and Rights to the Contested City in Belfast
Brendan Murtagh - 19 December 2018
Is Lefebvre's right to the city capable of extending the abstract meaning of formal "rights" to practical applications? With this question in mind, Brendan Murtagh scrutinizes a self-organization project in a neighborhood on the periphery of post-conflict Belfast in Northern Ireland.
autogestion / Lefebvre / solidarity / right to the city / women / periphery / self-organization / contested city / social economy / surplus / peace / United Kingdom / Ireland / Northern Ireland / Belfast
Series: 50 ans après : actualités du droit à la ville d'Henri Lefebvre
The wave of Occupy protests that followed the financial crisis in 2008 reinvigorated populist claims to the city, specific campaigns around homelessness and poverty, and a broader debate about who and what the urban is now for (Gray 2018). But much of this process of "cry and demand" (Lefebvre 1996, p. 158) was largely just that: an ephemeral protest that failed to mobilize as a coherent project about rights to the city and how and where they should be exercised. Dikeç and Swyngedouw (2017, p. 7) criticized the "infatuation with spectacular carnivalesque outbursts" as incomplete and contentious markers of a new political imaginary or even anticapitalist struggle. Bodirsky (2018) recently questioned the whole notion of rights, their abstracted complexity and contradictory application, and how serviceable they are in making fair and inclusive places.
Certainly, the right to the city has strength as a unifying force, but rights are locked into a (state) juridical system that ultimately adjudicates in the interests of property, not some vague claim to social justice, inclusivity or tolerance (Attoh 2011). As Gray (2018) notes in his analysis of factory takeovers in northern Italy, we are inviting the state to bestow rights onto us, which are enshrined in laws that accept and simply reproduce systems of wealth, uneven development and the fundamental primacy of exchange value expressed in property relations. Gray (2018, p. 319) argues that we should displace the right to the city with a more active "take-over-the-city movement" in which the means to assert use value over capital is at the heart of a more antagonistic urban politics.
This is not to dismiss rights to the city but to connect them more carefully and concretely in Lefebvre's ideas about how rights are actually exercised and made constitutive of modern urban struggles. This paper argues for the contemporary relevance of the "right to the city," not because of its evident morality, but because Lefebvre links it to an active project of placemaking in which the œuvre aims to assert and expand participatory democracy against the countervailing forces of division and dispersion (Purcell 2014). Here, he disdains forms of participation where, "after a more or less elaborate pretense at information and social activity, (the public) return to their tranquility and retirement" (Lefebvre 1996, p. 245). Instead, he proposes autogestion (self-management) in which workers take control over the means of production in an explicit process of de‑alienation, but it is control that becomes the central dynamic in displacing exchange value in favor of use value (Lefebvre 2009). Lefebvre (1996, pp. 173–174) sees this moving beyond the factory system in his ideas of "territorial autogestion," in which the rights to "participation and appropriation (legally distinct from the right to property) are implied in the right to the city." In short, it is about the mechanisms of change, the everyday social experiences of the citizenry and, in particular, building a commons through "encounter." Here, people and places at the periphery are mobilized to take meaningful control over the assets, resources, work, services, and places that they need to use (Merrifield 2011, p. 473).
The social economy and use value
Gray (2018) also sees the tactical value of Lefebvre's use of rights centered on encounter and communing. The question is: what is it we are encountering each other about, what is being made common and how is participation being used to challenge capitalist modes of accumulation? This, as Harvey (2012) makes clear, needs to be about the production, distribution and use of surplus in which alternative forms of social economics offer important tactical potential. The social economy is a contested arena in the use–exchange nexus, not least because it enables the state to download functions and enact a particular form of Foucauldian "conduct of conduct" by making the poor self-manage their own exploitation (Murtagh 2018). But, as Gray (2018) argues, the poor are already implicated in exchange systems through processes of consumption, credit, and housing tenure, and have become incorporated in all sorts of urban regimes over which they have limited control. The mainstream European version of the social economy stresses its solidarity ethics by mobilizing communities to take collective ownership over resources, land, property, goods, and services, with surplus reinvested for exclusively social benefit (Defourny and Nyssens 2014). Social enterprises are the dynamic component in the creation of value, in which profit is generated by trading across public and private markets, not avoiding them, or promising that value extraction and accumulation can happen outside their different rationalities and logics (Murtagh 2018). Here, social enterprises, which are community owned businesses, offer the potential to enact a particular form of territorial autogestion, precisely because they are concerned with the use of surplus and how it is made by price exchange, control of property rights and waged employment.
Segregation, assets and post-conflict Belfast
Belfast, in the north of the island of Ireland, is a city of 670,000 people. [1] It was badly damaged by a combination of deindustrialization and nearly 30 years of conflict between Catholics/Nationalists/Republicans who broadly want to reunify Ireland and Protestants/Unionists/Loyalists who broadly aim to maintain the union with Britain. These ethno-religious identities are highly territorial, with divisions between Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods marked by nearly 90 physical peace lines or interfaces, [2] in almost exclusively disadvantaged areas. The Good Friday Agreement (1998) brought an effective end to violence, new—if fragile—political institutions, and spatially differentiated economic recovery. Residential segregation between Catholics and Protestants is now down to levels seen before the conflict began in 1969, although this trend is observed overwhelmingly in middle-class areas where labor and housing markets intersect in privileged investment sites, urban "quarters," studentification, and more explicit modes of youthification (entertainment precincts, a new university campus, studio apartments, and so on) (Nagle 2009). A twin-speed city has emerged where sites of modernity, religious mixing and investment are close to, but disconnected from, working-class neighborhoods in the north and west where poverty, alienation, and sectarianism come together to produce especially "wicked problems" (Murtagh 2017).
However, in this "periphery," encounter—especially around economic resources—has been able to revalorize peace lines as useful assets for local communities. Suffolk is a small Protestant public-sector housing estate surrounded by mainly Catholic west Belfast. The Stewartstown Road, which is a main arterial route, effectively forms the peace line but was blighted by violence, fear and dereliction as communities on either side increasingly looked in on themselves for protection and avoidance. In 1994, a group of local women, initially separately and informally, organized a sit-down protest about children being injured by traffic on the heavily used commuter route. This created a degree of dialogue and trust across the interface that became more formal and eventually resulted in traffic-calming measures, the realignment of junctions, and new pedestrian crossings. The gendered nature of the work was important as the group identified other priorities including local jobs, childcare for women returning to work, shops and services, and the need to prevent interface violence between young people. Separate community forums were established in the two areas to help formalize contacts and to make negotiations both transparent and accountable.
A Peacebuilding Plan was then facilitated by a community development NGO and identified the derelict commercial block, burnt-out houses, and vacant land that formed the interface as a potential site for a capital development project. Investment by the EU PEACE program and a US philanthropist of around £4 million was supported by a decade-long community development process that faced down intimidation by increasingly criminalized, misogynistic paramilitary remnants within the Loyalist community (Knox and Quirk 2016). The process resulted in a new entity, the Stewartstown Road Regeneration Project (SRRP), which was constituted as a social enterprise, with four representatives from each community forum and four independent board members. Satisfied with the accountability and representativeness of the governance structure, the state housing authority transferred ownership at nil value of the derelict commercial block and related lands to the group. The result in figure 1 shows the somewhat unremarkable commercial frontage and the childcare center at the end of the block, but it is well used by people from both communities for services, decent jobs, and for the profit it reinvests in each neighborhood. That property rights were bestowed by the state to the community and that ownership enabled the SRRP to create rentier surplus is a troubling one for those who see use value inevitably compromised by entanglements with state and private markets (see Defourny and Nyssens 2014).

And yet, as Figure 2 shows, the community now owns £1.7 million worth of assets, generates a rental income of £190,000 per annum and provides 12 new shops and services that were not there before the project started. The œuvre is the acquisition of assets, bringing in new forms of collective ownership and exploiting property rights to deliver alternative forms of development, cash income and locally useful services. The childcare center has created 50 new places and the complex now employs 90 people within the local community. This has created salary spending worth £1.49 million, and each year the company makes a profit of £99,000. Under the terms of the constitution, one third of the profits are allocated to each community forum and one third is retained by the company. This community surplus has funded access scholarships to university, youth programs, education development for children failing at school, as well as environmental improvements. Violence at the interface has been nearly eradicated, 90% of residents support the initiative, and only 14% on both sides together thought that the peacebuilding approach was not effective (Knox and Quirk 2016).
Figure 2. The economic impact of the Stewartstown Road Regeneration Project (SRRP) social enterprise
Autogestion, peace and the right to the city
Suffolk is still an interface and the prospects for the comparatively small Protestant community are not good, but the project has revalorized a violent and derelict site into something that is now locally useful and sustainable. This is Lefebvre's periphery, where capital has little interest in its appropriation, but it does show that the modalities of the social economy can create purposeful encounters, structured alliances and—because it fixes on economic resources—new forms of repossession and accumulation. Extending that social ownership over production, consumption and distribution gives weight to "taking over the city," with all the compromises, trade-offs and ethical entanglements this implies. It can, of course, be read as a form of incorporation but, because it asserts a different form of value and how it is controlled and used, it also opens an avenue—nothing more—to practically claim some right to the city and its resources.

[1] Editor's note: Belfast has a population of 340,000 within its city limits, and 670,000 in the wider metropolitan area.
[2] Editor's note: an interface refers to places where segregated Catholic/Nationalist/Republican and Protestant/Unionist/Loyalist residential areas meet. These may be materialized by defensive structures (walls and fences put up by the army and police) called peace lines, mostly observed in polarized working-class neighborhoods.

Maame Biney Came To The U.S. From Ghana At 5. Now 18, She's A Team USA Speedskater
Melissa Block / NPR
Photo by Rick Bowmer AP
Maame Biney reacts after winning the women's 500-meter A final race during the U.S. Olympic short track speedskating trials in December.
Remember this name: Maame Biney.
The short track speedskater just turned 18; she's not even out of high school. But she's already one of the biggest U.S. names at the Winter Olympics.
When Biney won the 500-meter finals at team trials in December, with a personal-best time of 43.161 seconds, she became the first African-American woman ever to qualify for a U.S. Olympic speedskating team. (Twenty-five-year-old Erin Jackson is the second, qualifying in long track.) She is competing this week in the women's 500- and 1,500-meter races in Gangneung, South Korea.
Biney has a goofy giggle and an electric, nonstop smile. Her game face, though, is something else.
"It's not this!" she says. "It's like, 'Don't be in my way, 'cuz I'm probably gonna kill you!'"
And with that, realizing she's blurted something impolitic, she covers her face with her hands and collapses in laughter.
'Fierce and strong'
Just about everything Biney says ends with her irrepressible teenage giggle. She has a built-in joyfulness that charms everyone she meets, including the U.S. team head coach Anthony Barthell.
"Even when she's mad, she's still smiling," Barthell says. "That's just Maame."
Barthell first saw Biney skate when she was 11, and even then, he realized this girl was special.
"Explosiveness?" he says. "She has a ton of that."
Biney has the speed and power of a sprinter. It's her powerful start — thighs like pistons, arms pumping — that makes her so formidable in the 500-meter race.
But ask Biney what makes her great in short track, and she demurs.
"I wouldn't exactly call myself great," she says. "I'll just call myself, like, in there, in the little mix!"
That "little mix," though, is brutal.
Short track speedskating demands smart, aggressive strategy as the skaters jockey for position on their 111-meter oval track, leaning into tight corners, zooming at speeds up to 30 miles an hour. A false move will send them crashing into the pads.
"I like to call myself fierce," Biney says. "Fierce and strong and — just go out there!"
Too fast for figure skating
Biney took an unlikely path into her sport. She was born in Ghana, where — her father Kweku jokes — their only use for ice is to chill beer.
Kweku Biney emigrated to the U.S., settling in the Washington, D.C. area. Maame came to visit him when she was five. She ended up staying; her mother and brother still live in Ghana.
One day, driving through the Virginia suburbs, her father saw a sign for a local rink that said "Learn to Skate."
Maame tried it, and started figure skating — but she was so fast, the teacher steered her to speedskating.
Obviously, it took.
Kweku Biney, who for years took his daughter to her early-morning practices, will be watching from the stands when his daughter competes in the 500-meter race on Tuesday. Maame says he will be holding up the same sign he held at the Olympic trials in December.
"Yes!" she says. "He's gonna bring that 'Kick Some Hiney Biney' sign!"
So, just how good can this young speedskater eventually be? Barthell sees huge potential.
"Once she learns a little more finesse and being able to conserve, she's gonna be even better," he says. "I think you guys have seen only a quarter of what she has. Maybe less than that."
For now, Biney is trying to stay focused and shrug off the pressure of these Games. It's hard not to feel giddy, though.
"When I get on that line," she says, "I'll be like, 'Holy moly! I'm actually here! This is the Olympics! WOW!'"
But she recognizes that her achievement is bigger than herself.
"That means I get to inspire other kids in the United States, maybe all over the world," she says, "to just go out there and do what you love, because you never know! You just might accomplish your goal."

Sigma Keeps Lead At Top Of West With 4-0 Defeat Of Pro Stars
09/18/2016, 2:45pm EDT
By Kacian Whyte
Sigma FC inches closer to securing the top of the table for the west division with a 4-0 victory over Pro Stars FC on Saturday September 17.
Despite playing a very cohesive first half, Pro Star FC gave up a goal, which allowed Sigma FC to move comfortably into the second half with a one goal lead.
Pro Stars' Erick Olazabal and Mann Slewa both created a number of chances in front of the net in the early going, but were unable to put any shots on target. The duo led the charge for the first 20 minutes, keeping the hosts locked in their own half.
"We weren't pressing as high and as hard as we should have and Sigma took advantage of that," said Pro Stars' Johnathan Albanse.
The opposition continued to be dominated by home side in the second half, as Sigma captain Manvir Brar led his men down the center, resulting in goals by Jordan Kalonji (64'), Stoddart (65') and Carver Grenon (80'), creating a gap that would prove impossible for Pro Stars to bridge.
The dismissal of Marco Polancec-Marin in the 67' as a result of receiving two cautions did not aid in Pro Stars' quest for a goal.
"During the second half I believe Sigma moved the ball a lot better than we did, we were sloppy, no movement, no communication, and we got the red card and then struggled from that point," said Slewa after the game.
When asked what the team could have done better Mann Slewa stated "we should of pressed them high at all times, we gave them too much room to move in the back, which gave them the chance to cross the ball diagonally like they wanted and unfortunately we got punished."
With one more league game left, Sigma head coach Bobby Smyrniotis and the boys shift their focus to their final match on October 2 against FC London at the Marconi Club Of London, where it looks like the winners of the west division will be determined.
"Today was a game we knew we had to win to give ourselves a chance at staying at the top and on track with London and putting ourselves at the forefront of everything," said Smyrniotis.

PROVO, Utah — No. 17 BYU women's volleyball will travel to California for its final West Coast Conference (WCC) road trip of the season, taking on Pepperdine in a Thursday night matchup.

Where do I sign up for this gig?
There's a single mother in Merseyside, England who just posted a job ad on a British site called Childcare.co.uk.
Quote, "I get very scared at Halloween because of the costumes and speaking to strangers to ask for sweets for kids. I have severe social anxiety and am uncomfortable trick-or-treating, but I'd like for my kids to experience it."
So . . . she's looking to hire someone to take her nine-year-old, her seven-year-old, and her three-year-old trick-or-treating.
She's offering to pay $65-an-hour and she figures it should take about four hours total. So it's actually a really good deal for whoever gets the gig.
There's no word on whether she's hired anyone yet.


Today's review is the Pro Plan from HelpTeaching.com. If you are not familiar with HelpTeaching.com, they offer a large variety of printable worksheets and tests for grades K-12. They offer worksheets and online testing in many subject areas including Math, English, Science, Social Studies, Art, Music, and more.
The great thing about HelpTeaching.com is you can access their website and some of the printables absolutely free. You are limited to adding 10 questions on your customized worksheets with the free membership. The Pro Plan offers you the option to add up to 100 questions on your worksheets as well as access to pre-made premium content including the option to add quality images.
In this screenshot you can see that the worksheets with a lock are only accessible with a Pro Plan. A lot of the content available is aligned with Common Core Standards. By clicking on the CC button, you will be given the standard that the worksheet meets. We don't follow those standards but I know some schools do so if you are supplementing for a child who is in school, you will find lots of great help here.
Another great feature of the Pro Plan is the option to assign lessons to your children by email or by just sharing the link with them. When making up quizzes or tests, you have the option to add your own unique questions or choose from a huge inventory of questions already made by other users. I thought that was such a unique feature to really customize the tests to supplement your current curriculum.
In our homeschool, I would assign my 9th grade son lessons to supplement his current science curriculum. For example, he was studying Newton's Laws of Motion so I searched to see if there were any topics available to cover that subject. I assigned a few by email to see how it worked and I can see how this would be a great option for high school students especially. You could give them there assignments at the beginning of the week and be done until the end of the week! When making the tests you can choose to add in multiple-choice, open-ended, true-false, or fill-in-the-blank questions. The multiple choice and true-false are automatically graded for you.
As you can tell, some of the lessons include visual properties including videos, video links, and game links. A few practice questions are included to see what the student already knows. After the student finishes the lesson, you can assign a quiz on the lesson and again that can be sent by email or by just giving them the link. Here is a sample I snapped of the email assignment links and the final quiz score when finished. I love the independence that HelpTeaching.com allows.
HelpTeaching.com offers several different options to meet the needs of homeschoolers and parents including tests, worksheets, lessons, games, test maker, and online testing! I also used the games section quite a bit with my 7th grader who loves word search puzzles. Each week I would use her spelling words and make them into a word search puzzle. You simply type the words in separated by a comma and the puzzle is made for you! You can print the puzzles, download them for later, and store them in the section labeled my content. It also gives you the answer key.
Word searches are not the only game sheets available. There are also bingo cards, word bingo cards, math practice sheets for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. There is so much content available at the HelpTeaching.com website. I think we've only just begun to explore all the options and uses available! I know the grammar worksheets will be put to use as we practice for end of year testing soon.
Overall, we would highly recommend the Pro Plan as a valuable resource to any homeschool or parent. You can purchase the plan for only $24.95 for an entire year and use it with all of your children making it very economical.

New York Internet, pair Networks and INetU had the most reliable hosting company sites in May 2009. Each of these sites responded resiliently to Netcraft's performance collectors throughout the month, with not a single failed request.
This is New York Internet's second consecutive appearance at the top. Established in 1996, the company's core services now include dedicated servers, colocation and virtual web hosting - all backed with a 99.999% uptime guarantee.
pair Networks also started off in 1996, with a $10,000 family loan funding a single employee and a partial T-1 line. The company has since grown to offer dedicated servers, virtual private servers and high volume hosting from its own datacentres in Pennsylvania, which use GigE connections to five diverse backbone networks.
INetU is an enterprise managed hosting company, also located in Pennsylvania. They stand by their network performance by offering a 100% uptime service level agreement. Managed services provided by INetU include MySQL and MS SQL database clusters, Exchange servers, virtualization and firewalls. Their clients include Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, Intel and Northrop Grumman.
Among May's top ten hosting company sites, three companies (including New York Internet and pair Networks) run their sites on FreeBSD. Three other companies run their sites on Linux, while the remaining two identifiable operating systems are Windows Server 2003.
Netcraft measures and makes available the response times of fifty leading hosting providers' sites. The performance measurements are made at fifteen minute intervals from separate points around the internet, and averages are calculated over the immediately preceding 24 hour period.
From a customer's point of view, the percentage of failed requests is more pertinent than outages on hosting companies' own sites, as this gives a pointer to reliability of routing, and this is why we choose to rank our table by fewest failed requests, rather than shortest periods of outage.
Further information on the measurement process and current measurements are available.
