Metroid Prime — відеогра, розроблена Retro Studios і видана Nintendo для Nintendo GameCube, випущена 19 листопада 2002 року в Північній Америці. Це перша частина серії Metroid, дія якої відбувається в 3D. Хоча сама гра виглядає як шутер від першої особи, сама Nintendo визначає жанр як пригода від першої особи (), з тієї причини, що в грі акцент на елементи дослідження навколишнього світу, так званого «експлорінга». У Північній Америці гра також була першою випущеною частиною з часів Super Metroid, яка вийшла в 1994. В інших країнах Metroid Prime була випущена після Metroid Fusion.

Metroid Prime — перша частина з трилогії Prime, дія якої відбувається між оригінальною Metroid та Metroid II: Return of Samus. Як і в попередніх іграх серії, сюжет Metroid Prime розгортається в науково-фантастичному світі, а гравець керує головною героїнею — найманим мисливець за головами Самус Аран. Сам сюжет будується навколо протистояння Космічних Піратів та їх експериментів на планеті Tallon IV. Гра була результатом співпраці між персоналом Retro в Остіні, штат Техас, і японськими співробітниками Nintendo, включаючи продюсерів Сігеру Міямото і Кенсуке Танабе, перший з яких запропонував проєкт після відвідування штаб-квартири Retro у 2000 році.

Попри побоювання любителів серії, що перехід в 3D зіпсує геймплей, гра отримала високі оцінки критиків і була комерційно успішною — продажі склали понад 2,8 мільйона одиниць по всьому світу. Вона отримала низку нагород «Гра року», і багато критиків і геймерів вважають її однією з найкращих відеоігор, коли-небудь створених, залишаючись високо в рейтингу найкращих ігор за оцінками на Metacritic. У 2009 році була випущена покращена версія для Wii як окрема гра в Японії та як частина збірки Metroid Prime: Trilogy в інших регіонах. Оновлена версія Metroid Prime Remastered вийшла 9 лютого 2023 році для Switch.

Bug 1330890 is adding a resist fingerprinting service which wants to call _tzset().  It seems like that would be a nice place to centralize the logic of calling _tzset off the main thread on Windows.
Should this even be happening in the chrome process if e10s is enabled? Is there a purpose to this other than masking a user's timezone for JS running in the content process?
That is a great question!  Arthur?
> That is a great question!  Arthur?
I think Doug is right -- for anti-fingerprinting purposes, we only need to mask the true timezone in the content process.
provided we are on e10s.
Looks good to me too. Thanks!
Quick update on this: it's causing non-e10s tests to fail right now, because it checks if we're e10s before we've actually loaded the profile's prefs.js, which is where the e10s defaults are overridden. This causes us to cache the wrong e10s setting and seems to break Firefox in a bunch of random ways. In any case, Arthur, are there specific requirements for when nsRFPService::Init needs to be called? For my change to work, it needs to be called before the first content process is created, but are there other reasons why it's called specifically where it's called, or does it just need to happen some time during startup?
Tim, do you have any advice for Doug? Thanks.
The main purpose of nsRFPService::Init() is to add the observer for 'privacy.resistFingerprinting', cache its value and update TZ value accordingly. So, this initialization should happen before any fingerprinting resistance checks for making sure every check gets a correct value.
Most of fingerprinting resistance checks are triggered by the content, so init it before the first content process will do for them. But, there are two exceptions, the timezone setting and the window size rounding. For timezone setting, it looks good to me for you to move the initialization. For the window size rounding, if the timing of the first content process is after the creation of chrome window, and I suppose it is, then I think it will also be good.
is I just went with the observer for now.

The Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT  ) was a test previously administered by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) in Australia and New Zealand to assist in the selection of domestic students for health science courses, including most medical (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) and dental degree programs, as well as other health science practical studies such as physiotherapy and optometry. The UMAT was used for domestic applicant selection into undergraduate courses only. Applicants for graduate medical education must take the Graduate Medical School Admissions Test, and foreign applicants must take the International Student Admissions Test. Each year, the UMAT was held on a single day in two sessions, morning and afternoon, typically in late July or early August at test centers in major cities in Australia and New Zealand, as well as a few other global cities.

The nature of the UMAT is different from typical high school examinations or university examinations. UMAT did not reliably predict academic performance in university medical programs. In addition, academic performance did not accurately predict whether the student would become a good doctor.

In 2019, the United Kingdom's University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) replaced the UMAT.

History
Before the introduction of the UMAT as a component of university entrance requirements, the sole criterion for entry into medical or health science degrees in Australian universities was final year high school (Year 12) results. In New Zealand, entry was following completion of the first year of a related degree, with applicants selected based on their GPA for that year. A consortium of universities found this criterion too restrictive, as it did not reflect all the qualities required to successfully study and practice medicine. Consequently, the UMAT was introduced to assess the qualities deemed by ACER and the UMAT Consortium universities to be important to the study and practice of medicine and the health sciences. These qualities include: critical thinking and problem solving, ability to understand people, and abstract non-verbal reasoning. The first use of the UMAT was in 1991 for applicants to The University of Newcastle for selection into their medical program.

Format
As of 2013, the UMAT consists of three multiple choice sections over a total of three hours:

 Section 1: Logical reasoning and problem solving (48 questions)
 Section 2: Understanding people (44 questions)
 Section 3: Non-verbal reasoning (42 questions)

It is important to note that as of 2013 each of these sections, whether in part or in full, can be completed in any order over the duration of the three hours.

A candidate's UMAT score consists of three numbers, one raw score for each section of the test (this is not a percentage and the algorithms for their calculation have not been revealed by ACER), as well as a percentile ranking for each section. A final percentile and overall score (found usually by summing the three raw scores, but which can differ slightly due to each score's decimal places which are not shown on the candidate's statement of results) are given as part of the final results, and it is these final scores which are primarily used to determine the UMAT criteria for university admissions. For example, if a candidate was given the raw scores for Sections 1, 2, and 3 as 55, 60, 65 respectively, their overall score would be 179-181 and their percentile approximately 90.

As of 2012, all UMAT scores are valid for one year, this differs from the previous validity period of two years.

Usage
The UMAT was an entry requirement for all UMAT Consortium universities, which constituted the vast majority of medical schools in Australia and New Zealand. Each university determined its own cut-off scores for UMAT results (based either on the "raw" section scores or section percentiles, depending on the university), obtained the results directly from ACER. Some universities, (for example, the University of Otago), also independently scaled each section of the UMAT in their selection process. In determining whether or not a candidate should be awarded a place, most universities also took into account a structured or semi-structured interview (such as a multiple mini interview) with the candidate, as well as Year 12 (Australia) or Year 13 (NCEA in New Zealand) results. Some universities, such as the University of Queensland, did not use interviews as part of the selection procedure.

UMAT Consortium universities
The following universities were members of the UMAT Consortium:
 The University of Auckland
 The University of Adelaide
 Bond University
 Charles Darwin University
 Curtin University
 Flinders University
 La Trobe University
 Monash University
 The University of Newcastle/University of New England
 The University of New South Wales
 The University of Otago
 The University of Queensland
 The University of Tasmania
 The University of Western Australia
 The University of Western Sydney

Controversy
Due to its inclusion as a mandatory admission requirement into medical and health science courses, as well as the highly competitive nature of entry into such courses, there has been some controversy regarding the UMAT's relevance, structure and necessity.
ACER do not release their marking and scaling procedures. As well as this there are a number of different test booklets, with many of the questions uniquely appearing in one. From other tests administered by ACER (e.g. the Programme for International Student Assessment, PISA), it is known that ACER likes a simple version of item response theory presumed to correct for varying item difficulties. The accuracy of this scaling is, however, disputed.

Experts estimate fewer than 1,000 of the North Central American scarlet macaw subspecies A. m. cyanoptera remain, distributed across southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
The emblematic scarlet macaw is the most widely distributed of all the macaw species, helping it to remain classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. But the Mesoamerican subspecies A. m. cyanoptera is highly threatened by poaching and habitat loss. Of the 1,000 or so that remain, WCS estimates that 250 individuals are within the Maya Biosphere Reserve of Guatemala, where we've long worked, and as few as 200 are in Belize.


The foremost priority for any Outsourcing company is to set an offshore center which has the best of technology and talented manpower to execute software development. In this context, India has established its hold on Offshore Software Outsourcing along with Russia and China. But she has countries like Philippines eyeing for competition in offshore outsourcing. It is proposed that the competition is due to rise in English speaking community in Philippines. What can be the other reasons for stringent competition and how can India reach the number one slot in Offshore Software Development?

The death toll in Gaza rose above 600 on Tuesday as emergency teams pulled dead bodies from the rubble of homes destroyed by Israeli strikes on the 15th day of the assault.
Palestinian medical sources announced the death of Ahmad Abu Seido by Israeli shelling on a park in eastern Gaza City, raising the day's toll to 27.
Rescue teams removed body of a man from rubble in Shujaiyya neighborhood.
Health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra earlier announced another victim as four-year-old girl Muna Rami al-Kharawt in the northern Gaza Strip.
The bodies of two women were also removed from the debris of their homes in the Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City, al-Qidra said.
He identified the two victims as 70-year-old Fatima Hasan Azzam and 50-year-old Maryam Hasan Azzam.
Additionally, emergency teams pulled the body of Muhammad al-Hindi from a destroyed building in Tal al-Hawa in southern Gaza.
Earlier Tuesday, over a dozen Palestinians were killed after Israeli airstrikes and artillery hit their homes.
Israeli media had earlier quoted a Hamas official as saying there were negotiations for a five-hour humanitarian ceasefire to begin at 10 a.m.
Israeli officials rejected the proposal, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.
Since the start of the offensive, more than 100,000 Gazans have fled their homes, seeking shelter in 69 schools run by the Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA.
Overall, 27 soldiers have died in the past four days, with 13 killed on Sunday alone in what was the bloodiest single day for the Israeli military since the Lebanon war of 2006.
Two Israeli civilians have also been killed by rocket fire.
Hamas' main condition for halting its fire is a lifting of Israel's eight-year blockade on the enclave, but it also wants "the release of those recently detained" in the West Bank, Ismail Haniyeh, the movement's top Gaza-based official, said late on Monday.
Cross-border rocket fire has continued despite the operation, with 116 rockets hitting Israel on Monday, one striking the greater Tel Aviv area, and another 17 shot down.

February 1, 1995: Eleventh of Sixteen?
When 24-year-old Ta Tanisha Wesson went to Family Planning Associates Medical Group on January 26, 1995 for a safe, legal abortion, she brought a friend with her, Ms. Mickey Gaton.
Mickey had been sitting in the waiting room for several hours when she saw an ambulance approach. Though staff knew that Mickey had come with Ta Tanisha, she said, they didn't tell her anything about complications.
Somehow Mickey found out that it was her friend being loaded into the ambulance. She called Ta Tanisha's parents, Lin and Nicole Wesson, who rushed to the facility. There, Ta Tanisha's father said, they were unable to get any information about their daughter from the staff. "Everything was done in secrecy," he said.
Ta Tanisha was taken to the hospital, never regaining consciousness. She died on February 1, leaving behind a five-year-old son, David, motherless.
Her parents sued, saying that Ta Tanisha was given too much anesthetic. Their attorney said, "This death definitely could have been avoided. ... Ta Tanisha Wesson was given too much anesthesia, which caused her to vomit and choke. We are claiming negligence by the clinic staff who were not present when she began vomiting and ultimately delayed 20-25 minutes before calling for emergency help."
At a rally outside the clinic, a family spokesperson gestured to little David and said, "All my words could never speak as eloquently as the expression on this little boy's face who will never see his mother again."
Other women who died from abortions perpetrated at Family Planning Associates include:
1970: Denise Holmes
1984: Patricia Chacon and Mary Pena
1985: Josefina Garcia
1986: Laniece Dorsey
1988: Joyce Ortenzio and Tami Suematsu

FPA founder Edward Campbell "Fast Eddie" Allred held that processing many abortion patients through as quickly as possible was his duty. "When a sullen black woman of 17 or 18 can decide to have a baby and get welfare and food stamps and become a burden to all of us, it's time to stop. In parts of South Los Angeles having babies for welfare is the only industry the people have." The supporters gathered for Ta Tanisha's family speculated that racism might have played a role in the substandard care the young woman received.
Family Planning Associates is a member of the National Abortion Federation.

February 1, 1936: The Last of FIVE Deaths of Dr. Justin Mitchell
Dr. Justin L. Mitchell, age 57, of Palos Park, Illinois, had been identified as the abortionist responsible for the 1935 abortion death of 32-year-old Mary Nowalowski. For some reason, though, he was free in January of 1936. On a date I've yet to be able to determine, he performed the abortion that resulted in the February 1, 1936 abortion death of 20-year-old homemaker and mother-of-two Alice Haggin.
On February 12, just 11 days after Alice's death, Mitchell was convicted of manslaughter in Mary's death.
It took until March 10 for the Grand Jury to indict him for Alice's death.
Mary hadn't been the first abortion death attributed to Mitchell, either. As I was looking for more information about Alice's death I learned that Harold Vaughan signed a complaint against Mitchell in December of 1931 stating that Mitchell had perpetrated a fatal abortion on Harold's wife, Ethel.
I also learned Mitchell had also been arrested in 1933 after the abortion death of Florence Jordan. Mitchell was then implicated in the 1934 abortion death of Mary Schwartz.
Thus we have Ethel, Florence, Mary Schwartz, and Mary Nowalowski all dead at his hands before the unfortunate Alice entrusted her life to Mitchell.
And stay tuned: I found other dirt on the illustrious Dr. Mitchell, including allegations that he killed live-born infants, groped a student nurse, and ran a slipshod facility. I'll write it all up for you when I get the chance.

January 31, 1972: Antiquated Abortion Method Kills Teen
Fifteen-year-old Gwendolyn Drummer was a student at Harry Ellis High in Richmond, California, when she was admitted to Doctor's Hospital of Pinole for a safe and legal abortion, to be performed January 28, 1972. Her doctor chose the hypertonic saline method. These abortions are performed by replacing amniotic fluid with a strong salt solution.
The saline abortion method was being abandoned in countries where abortion was legal. Two Japanese doctors, Takahsi Wagatsuma and Yukio Manabe, warned western physicians about the high risk of serious injuries and maternal deaths. A British study published in 1966 found that the saline could enter the mother's bloodstream and cause brain damage. Swedish researchers noticed an unacceptably high rate of complications and deaths. Sweden and the Soviet Union followed Japan in abandoning saline abortion as too dangerous by the late 1960s.
But as laws loosened up in the US, American doctors adopted the saline abortion method. So in 1972, with over a decade of warning not to do so, Gwendolyn's doctor injected saline into her uterus. It got into her blood stream, just as British, Japanese, Soviet, and Swedish doctors had repeatedly warned it could do. Gwendolyn suffered organ damage. She subsequently developed pneumonia, and died on January 31.

January 30, 1912: Midwife Never Goes to Trial
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, abortion practice thrived in Chicago, with midwives and doctors placing thinly-veiled ads for abortions in newspapers. On January 30, 1912, 21-year-old Jeanette Milczarek, a homemaker and Russian immigrant, died in Chicago from an abortion believed to have been perpetrated by nurse/midwife Anna Chezanowaki, possibly that same day. Chezanowaki was indicted by a Grand Jury on February 15, but the case never went to trial.

In late January of 1904, Estella "Stella" Murgatroyd lay ailing at the home of her parents, Francis "Frank" and Sarah Murgatroyd, just outside Jacksonville, Illinois.
Stella was described as "a young woman of unusual capabilities" who "in the duties of the home and in the church ... displayed qualities that indicated decision and lofty purpose." Stella had been a member of Ebenezer church, and active in church societies.
She was a young woman whose reputation would have been shattered by an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. And, as we'll see, her situation was even more shameful.
Stella's Sickness and Deathbed Statement
Her father said that Stella had left home on the afternoon of Thursday, January 21, and had returned home at around 5 p.m. She began to develop a fever the next day at around noon. After that she began to get chills and seemed seriously ill.
Mr. Murgatroyd had asked several times if he could summon a doctor for her, but Stella refused. Finally he'd summoned Dr. J. A. Day without Stella's consent. Dr. Day consulted with Dr. Frank P. Norburg and Dr. F. J. Pitner. The men were suspicious so they questioned Stella pointedly. She made a declaration just before her death on January 30, witnessed by Frank P. Norburg and Dr. Day:
I, Miss Estella Murgatroyd, a single (unmarried) lady, 27 years of age, do hereby, and in the presence of witnesses, solemnly declare that I was [pregnant by John Pate] and on Jan. 21, 1904, about 2:30 o'clock p.m., Dr. W. C. Manley operated upon me at his office in Jacksonville. I furthermore declare that upon the morning of Jan. 24, 1904, Dr. J. A. Day was called to attend me and he afterwards on the same day called and consulted with Dr. L. P. Norbury over my condition. I declare furthermore that Dr. L. P. Norbury and J. A. Day had no association whatever in the operation.
John Pate's Involvement
The three doctors who cared for Stella signed a death certificate giving her cause of death as "septic endocarditis and peritonitis." The post-mortem examination verified the cause of death as abortion complications.
The fact that Stella was pregnant outside of marriage would have been shameful enough. Her situation was even worse, though. Her baby's father, John Pate, was married to Stella's sister, Annie. After Stella's death, Pate made himself scarce to avoid the police.
An inquest was held February 1 through 5, 1904.
During the inquest, Dr. Day testified that he had concluded that Stella was moribund from the first time he was called in to attend to her. She'd told him about the abortion and said that beforehand she'd been assured that there would be no danger to her from the procedure.
Dr. Day testified that John Pate, who had paid him $25 for Stella's care, had named Dr. William C. Manley as Stella's abortionist in a conversation they'd had. This corroborated Stella's deathbed identification of W. C. Manley. Pate told Day that Stella had threatened to kill herself unless she was able to arrange an abortion. Day asked Pate if he'd seen Dr. Manley boil the instruments before using them and Pate had answered in the negative. Pate said that the abortion was performed at the office Dr. Manley shared with Dr. Corrill while Corrill was in an adjacent room.
When Dr. Day told Pate that he'd have to give a true cause of death on the death certificate, he said, Pate tried to convince him not to do so on the grounds that his wife and children would throw him off if they found out the truth.
Dr. Norbury testified that after Stella had given her dying declaration, she'd asked him not to show it to her mother, since this would cause a lot of trouble in the family.
Other Testimony
William Fuller, who was Pate's business partner, testified that Pate was not at their business the afternoon of January 21, when the abortion was committed. He'd left their barn at about 11 in the morning and didn't return until about 4 in the afternoon.
Robert DeFreitas, who had been a classmate of Stella's, testified that at around 2:00 on the afternoon of January 21 he'd encountered Stella outside the building where Dr. Corrill had his office. They spoke briefly before Stella entered the building and headed upstairs towards Corrill's office.
In case there was any doubt as to which of the two second-floor destinations Stella was heading towards, Mrs. George W. Scott, who lived in the apartment across the hall from Corrill's office, testified that Stella had not visited her that day.
Pate himself was still at large and his wife said that he'd disappeared without telling her where he was going. He had withdrawn $200 from the bank and was believed to have boarded a south-bound train. The sheriff was confident that he'd be easily found because he had a severely injured eye and a patch of white in his otherwise dark brown hair.
No Ill Effects for The Culprits
Dr. Manley was arrested. A warrant was issued for Pate as an accessory.
Frank Murgatroyd harbored no warm feelings towards his son-in-law. One newspaper notes, "He showed plainly that he was in a bitter state of mind towards Pate and that the latter will be in danger of bodily injury if he ever gets into Murgatroyd's presence unprotected."
I've been unable to determine the outcome of the case, but it seems unlikely that either man was convicted because the 1910 federal census records show each man still living with his wife and children in Jacksonville. Evidently Pate's wife and children didn't throw him off after all. How he escaped retribution from his father-in-law is unknown.

Olive Ash worked for a farmer, Mr. Beckwith, in Vermont, in the summer and fall of 1857. She was 19 years old, and she lived with the family during her employment. In the autumn of that year, Olive returned to her family home in Sutton.
On December 28, 1857, Olive and her twin sister, Olivia, left their home and went by rail to the home of their cousin, Levi M. Aldrich, in Bradford, ostensibly to visit his widowed mother. During the visit, Olive seemed to her family to be in normal health.
The sisters remained at Aldrich's home about two weeks, then said that they were going to meet some friends at the Fairlee depot for an excursion into New York or Massachusetts. Instead, when they arrived at Fairlee depot they took a wagon to the home and office of Dr. William Howard, about six miles north of the depot and three miles south of Bradford.
The Dreadful Telegram
On Friday, January 29, 1858, Olive's mother, Mahitable, got a telegram telling her to come to Howard's home. She quickly complied, and was there when her daughter died at about 6 in the evening. Dr. Howard got a coffin for Olive, and the twins' mother took the body by train to Sutton.
On February 3, Olive's body was exhumed for an autopsy, which was performed by Dr. Frost and witnessed by Dr. Bliss, Dr. Carpenter, and others unnamed. Frost found evidence of recent pregnancy as well as signs of instrumentation and damage to the cervix. Dr. Frost believed that Olive had hemorrhaged due to the damage to her cervix. He removed and preserved her uterus. Another physician examined the uterus and concluded that the placenta had been retained for some time after the abortion, and that this retained placenta would also cause hemorrhage.
Olivia Testifies
In the trial of Dr. Howard, Olivia testified that she knew her sister was pregnant and had accompanied her on the journey knowing that Olive was planning to get an abortion. Olivia said that Daniel Beckwith, the grown son of the farmer Olive had worked for, met them at their cousin's house, and he gave them the information on where to go and who to see for the abortion.
From Olivia's testimony, the sisters arrived at Dr. Howard's house and informed him that Olive was about six months pregnant. He spoke to the sisters and indicated that he wanted to consult with Daniel Beckwith before deciding if he was going to proceed with an abortion. The sisters remained at Dr. Howard's house for a few days until Olive got a letter from Beckwith, and she read part of it to Dr. Howard. He then agreed to perform the abortion for a sum of $100. (Over $3,600 in 2023)
Dr. Howard told the sisters that the process would take three or four weeks. He gave Olive a concoction to drink two or three times. On the Friday the week after the sisters' arrival, Dr. Howard performed some sort of procedure on Olive as she lay on the bed in the room the twins shared. Olivia was permitted to remain with her sister during this procedure. She said that Dr. Howard used two or three of the three or four instruments he had at hand. Olive was in pain during the procedure, which took two or more hours, and resulted in a gush of fluid.
The following day, Dr. Howard performed another, similar, procedure on Olive, who clutched her sister's hand and reported great pain. Olive bled profusely. After this second operation, Olive kept to her bed.
That night, Dr. Howard performed yet another procedure, very painful for Olive to endure. This time he used instruments then reached in with his hand and pulled out a fetus, which Olivia reported as being about two-thirds the size of a newborn. Dr. Howard removed the fetus from the room, and Olivia never saw it again.
Olive bled after this, but not profusely. Afterward her behavior struck Olivia as violent and irrational.
A girl named Margaret Kelley, who lived at Dr. Howard's house, testified that Olivia had laundered her sister's bloody clothing while at the doctor's house.
Bloody items were introduced into evidence, including two chemises and a small quilt or pad. The witness, Mrs. Wilson, who produced the evidence indicated that she'd found these things hidden in the rafters of the house when she was cleaning in the fall of 1858.
Mrs. Wilson also said that about two weeks after Dr. Howard's arrest, she saw one of Dr. Howard's dogs come out from underneath the office privy with something in its mouth. She made the dog drop what it was carrying and discovered it to be a fetus of about four or five months, in a state of decomposition. While she was looking at the fetus, another of the doctor's dogs snatched the fetus up and ran off with it. The dogs, she testified, had been digging at the privy for some time before retrieving the fetus. Mrs. Wilson's description of the fetus she'd seen the dogs with was similar in size to the fetus Olivia had described taken from her sister. Olivia had also testified to having seen a number of fetuses of various sizes preserved in containers in Dr. Howard's premises.
Defense Witness
The defense presented a witness named Susan Squires, who was staying at Dr. Howards from January 23 until after Olive's death. She said that the Thursday before Olive's death, she had spoken with Olive while Olivia was eating lunch. Susan said that Olive told her that she didn't expect to live, that she'd taken poisons before coming to Dr. Howard, that Dr. Howard was not to blame in her death but had done everything in his power to help her. Susan said that Olive seemed rational at the time, but that by Friday morning Olive seemed to have lost her reason.
On cross examination, Susan indicated that she had stayed at Dr. Howard's off and on for two years, to do sewing and to receive medications. She indicated that on Thursday afternoon, at about 4:00 Friday morning Olive managed to kick the footboard off the bed, prompting Olivia to summon Susan and a Mrs. Green into the room. Olive complained of being tired and continued to thrash and kick for a short time before settling down.
Mrs. Green was brought as a witness. She said that she had gone to Dr. Howard's on Tuesday afternoon and remained there a week visiting the doctor's wife. She first saw Olive on Wednesday morning, when Olivia had summoned her to help attend to Olive, who was trembling, delirious, and bleeding from the nose. Mrs. Green also went to Olive during the episode when she'd kicked the footboard off the bed. She'd helped the others restrain Olive. Mrs. Green testified that Olive never revived enough to speak after that.
Dr. Howard's witnessed attempted to show that Howard was treating Olive for a miscarriage. Dr. Howard was nevertheless convicted.

January 29, 1936: Citizens' Calls Lead to Exhumation and Discovery
Rose Lipner, age 32, a homemaker and mother of 2, died at Riverdale Hospital on January 29, 1936. Rose was buried the next day at Mount Judah Cemetery in Cypress Hills, New York.
After the funeral, several people, including an anonymous caller, notified police and the District Attorney's office that the death was suspicious, and Rose was exhumed for an autopsy. The medical examiner determined that Rose had died from caused by an abortion.
Dr. Maxwell C. Katz, who owned and lived at Riverdale (maternity) Hospital, which he operated, signed a death certificate indicating that Rose had been operated on there for a tumor. Katz was arraigned for second-degree manslaughter.
During his trial, his defense brought forth a large number of character witnesses testifying to his 25 years as a physician and his good reputation. Katz did admit to performing an abortion on Rose, but said that it was in an attempt to save her life. The defense was successful, and he was acquitted.

January 28, 1918: Another Pittsburgh Slippery Elm Death
My primary information about abortion deaths for this time and place are through coroner records. Interestingly, the Pittsburgh area's abortion culture seemed to lean toward self-induced abortions despite the presence of physician-abortionists.
On January 28, 1918, 27-year-old Annabella Lewis, a homemaker, died in at West Penn Hospital in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The autopsy concluded that she had performed a self-induced abortion using slippery elm bark. She had told her husband, Albert, about the abortion, but had denied even being ill to anybody else until her admission to the hospital.

January 28, 1974: Five Children Left Motherless
Evangeline McKenna, a Louisiana native, was 38 years old when she checked into Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Los Angeles for an abortion and tubal ligation. Two days after the procedure, she had a seizure. She stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest. Doctors told the family that Evangeline was brain dead, but they held out hope and asked that she be put on life support. On January 28, 1974, after twelve days on life support, Evangeline was pronounced dead. She left behind five children.
Evangeline's death, in addition to being a tragedy for her family and loved ones, also highlights the disproportionate damage that legal abortion causes among Blacks in the United States. Though black women are only 13% of the female population in the US, and though they are more likely than white women to oppose abortion, they account for a full 35% of legal abortions reported. Black women, like Evangeline, also account for fully 50% of reported legal abortion deaths.

January 28, 1912: Doctor Escapes Before Cops Can Arrest Him
On January 28, 1912, 28-year-old homemaker Mary Balogh, an immigrant from Hungary, died at the practice of midwife Anna Klickner from an abortion perpetrated the previous day. Klickner was arrested at the scene but escaped. She was captured on November 26 and indicted on December 15. The case never went to trial for reasons I have been unable to determine.
Dr. Henry Gross, age 56, had a reputable medical practice at 843 Belmont Avenue in Chicago in the 1940s. However, after a Dr. Ira Willits died, Gross purchased the dead man's office and set up an abortion practice there under Willits's name.
According to Olga Perez, in January of 1943, her daughter-in-law 22-year-old Lavern Perez went to "Dr. Willits" at 530 North Clark Street for an abortion. Mrs. Perez said that Lavern had paid an office attendant $60 for the abortion.
Lavern died in her Chicago home on January 28.
The day Lavern died, Mrs. Perez said, Dr. Gross appeared at her home with a gun, which he used to threaten both her and her son. They wrestled the gun away from him, whereupon he begged for the weapon back so he could kill himself.
Gross had insisted that he'd only been treating Lavern for a cold. However, he was also investigated for the February 26, 1943 abortion death of 20-year-old waitress Dorothy Webber.
A jury of eight women and four men found Gross guilty of manslaughter by abortion in Lavern's death. He won a new trial on the grounds that the state used prejudicial evidence.
The trail ends there. I've been unable to find out the outcome of the second trial, and Gross doesn't show up again on census records or, as far as I can find, death records.

January 28, 1947: The Lay Abortionist
Twenty-nine-year-old waitress Kerneda Bennett, though living with her husband in Harrisonburg, Virginia, got pregnant as a result of an extramarital affair in late 1946. She asked her friend, Irene Davis, to help her arrange an abortion. Irene called her friend, Iva Rodeffer Davis Coffman, to make arrangements. At around the end of the first week of January, 1947, Kerneda and Irene went to Coffman's home at Mt. Crawford, near Harrisonburg .
Coffman took Kerneda into a bedroom. "When they came out," according to legal records, "Mrs. Coffman told Mrs. Bennett to come back if nothing had happened in fourteen days, and if anything was said about why they were there to say they came to have a dress made."
About two weeks later, on January 27, Kerneda "had not had the result expected." She asked Irene to contact Coffman again. The two of them took a taxi back to Coffman's home about 7:30 on the evening of January 28. While the taxi was waiting, Coffman took Kerneda back into the bedroom. About fifteen or twenty minutes later Irene thought she heard something fall. A few minutes later, Coffman told her that Kerneda had fainted and asked her to come back to the bedroom. Irene found Kerneda lying, groaning, face-down on the floor beside the bed, dressed except for her shoes and coat.
Coffman seemed very nervous and said that they needed to get Kerneda to a hospital. Irene summoned the taxi driver, who carried Kerneda out to the cab. Kerneda, who had been nearly lifeless when loaded into the taxi, was dead on arrival at the hospital.
That night Coffman's home was searched, but nothing of evidential value was found. Coffman told the sheriff that Kerneda had asked to use the bathroom, and was shown to the bedroom, and asked for a glass of water. Coffman said she'd brought Kerneda the water, which she had used to wash down two pills from her purse, joking that they were poison. A few minutes later, Coffman said, Kerneda fell onto the floor.
The Harrisonburg/Rockingham County coroner, Dr. Byers, performed the autopsy assisted by Dr. Hill. They found no evidence of external injuries except for a small genital scratch. A piece of tissue from the placenta was in the cervix, a small blood clot was in the vagina, and the uterus was in place, appearing at first to be a normal pregnant uterus with no signs of injury. Upon removing the uterus, the doctors noted a sensation as if the organ contained air. They opened the uterus and found an intact pregnancy with a fetus of about three to four months of gestation. Byers concluded that an abortion had been attempted, which had caused a fatal air embolism. After the embolism killed Kerneda, the baby died as well. He based the embolism diagnosis on the crepitation (feeling as if air was present) of the uterus. Coffman was convicted of performing the fatal abortion and incarcerated to serve a five year sentence.

January 27, 1978: "I Cry Every Day"
Belinda Byrd
Belinda Ann Byrd was a tiny woman, weighing only 95 pounds even when she was 19 weeks into her pregnancy. The mother of three children, all of whom had been delivered by C-section, was afraid to go ahead and have her baby because a doctor had told her that another birth could prove fatal.
On January 23, 1987, Belinda reported to Inglewood Women's Hospital in Los Angeles, California for medications prior to an abortion scheduled the following day. She reported to Inglewood on the 24th for what she expected to be a live-preserving safe and legal abortion performed by Dr. Stephen Pine.
Belinda was the 69th of 74 women that Pine rushed through Inglewood's single procedure room. Fully 24 of those abortions were performed in the final two hours of the day at the 28-bed hospital.
Pine finished Belinda's abortion in roughly nine minutes, ending at about 4:00 p.m. She was only kept in the recovery room for about seven minutes before she was taken to the hospital's west wing. Belinda complained that she was weak and her legs were numb at about 5:00 pm. She collapsed in the bathroom a short time later and had to be helped back to her bed.
At some point staff took Belinda's vital signs and noted bloody discharge from her vagina.
At around 6:00 p.m. Pine left the hospital.
At around 7:00 p.m. Belinda again reported that she felt weak and her legs were numb. About ten minutes later a nurse tried to take Belinda's vital signs but could find no pulse.
Staff at Inglewood attempted resuscitation themselves for two hours before finally calling an ambulance to transfer Belinda to Centinela Medical Center, a hospital with appropriate emergency services. As a licensed general acute care hospital, Inglewood should have been equipped to treat Belinda's complications.
Belinda arrived at Centinela apparently brain-dead atop bloody sheets. She remained comatose until she was taken off life support on January 27. Her autopsy report noted that she had died due to a punctured uterus. She also had a blood clot in her lung.
Belinda's three children were about 16, 13, and 11 years old when they were left motherless.
Belinda's mother wrote to a Los Angeles district attorney:
I am the mother of Belinda Byrd, victim of abortionists at [Inglewood]. I am also the grandmother of her three young children who are left behind and motherless. I cry every day when I think how horrible her death was. She was slashed by them and then she bled to death ... and nobody cares. I know that other young black women are now dead after abortion at that address. ... Where is [the abortionist] now? Has he been stopped? Has anything happened to him because of what he did to my Belinda? Has he served jail time for any of these cruel deaths? People tell me nothing has happened, that nothing ever happens to white abortionists who leave young black women dead. I'm hurting real bad and want some justice for Belinda and all other women who go like sheep to slaughter.
A defense attorney claimed that Belinda hadn't bled to death but had instead died due to a rare condition causing a blood clot to form in her lungs several hours after surgery. "Had three doctors been standing there at the time, the chances of that woman surviving were practically nil. This case doesn't belong in a courtroom. It belongs in a textbook."
Inglewood officials pooh-poohed the idea that Pine was rushing through abortions too quickly to perform them safely, asserting that it wasn't unusual for one of their doctors to do 100 abortions in a single day. They asserted that this rapid-fire assembly-line approach was safe even though they specialized in more difficult and time-consuming second trimester abortions.
Pine settled out-of-court with Belinda's mother, longtime boyfriend, two siblings, and three children for $250,000 prior to a civil jury deciding that although Pine, Barke, and Inglewood had all been negligent in the care they provided to Belinda, they were could not that the negligence had actually caused her death. Thus the case for the remaining defendants ended in a mistrial.
Kathy Murphy (1973), Lynette Wallace (1975), Elizabeth Tsuji (1978) and Cora Lewis (1983) had already died at Inglewood. It took Belinda's death to get the authorities around to inspecting the place the place. Among other things, they caught an abortionist writing post-operative examination notes without even examining the patients. This confirmed what a nurse's aide told investigators after Belinda's death: that Pine rarely examined patients after their abortions and signed discharge forms before the patients had even left the recovery room. This aide later quit without giving notice, explaining "It was just a slaughterhouse, and I couldn't take it any more."
Health official Ralph Lopez told the Los Angeles Times that Inglewood had a long history of "battlefield conditions" and a case load of about 1,000 abortions a month in its single operating room. Inglewood processed 11,330 abortion patients in 1986 alone. Patients were rushed through surgery with the table and floors stained with the blood of previous patients. Doctors didn't wash their hands or their equipment between patients. Patients "were encouraged to leave the facility before they felt comfortable doing so," and patients were discharged without being assessed by a physician.
The inspection led to a 29-page report citing 33 violations.
Inglewood was threatened with suspension of Medicare and Medi-Cal funding for problems, including "dumping" an injured abortion patient -- just transferring her to County-USC Medical Center in unstable condition and without alerting the hospital to expect her.
The state revoked Inglewood's hospital license. Less than two weeks later it reopened as West Coast Women's Medical Group, operating under the name Inglewood Women's Clinic, an outpatient abortion facility. It was later purchased by Edward "Fast Eddie" Allred to add to his Family Planning Associates Medical Group chain of abortion facilities.
Inglewood Women's Hospital was owned by Inglewood General Hospital Corp. Inc., which was headed by abortionist Morton Barke.

January 26, 1990: Kidney Failure After Abortion
Ingar Weber, age 28, died January 26, 1990, in a Louisiana hospital. She had been treated for acute kidney failure after a safe and legal abortion performed at Delta Women's Clinic in Baton Rouge on January 20, 1990. Ingar's family sued the clinic and its doctors, Richardson P. Glidden and Thomas Booker. They faulted the doctors with failing to diagnose Ingar's kidney problems, or her deteriorating physical condition, before, during, or after the abortion. Delta had also been sued following the death of another abortion patient. This woman was most likely 27-year-old Sheila Hebert, who died after an abortion on June 6, 1984.

On January 22, 2001, 19-year-old Melissa Heim went to Access Health Center in Downers Grove, Illinois. She was given "twilight anesthesia" with a drug cocktail including Versed, Fentanyl, and Brevital for a safe, legal abortion which started at about 11:45 a.m. and was finished at about noon.
After the abortion, she was moved to the recovery area, where she went into cardio-respiratory arrest about half an hour later.
An ambulance was summoned, and Melissa was resuscitated by the paramedics, but due to the brain injury she had suffered, she died on January 26.
Her survivors filed suit against Access, doctors Victor Espinosa and Alfonso Del Granado, and nurse Pat Hurt, holding that they had failed to monitor her properly in recovery and failed to resuscitate her quickly enough to save her life.

Rivaldo Considers Messi Still Better Than Neymar
September 22, 2016 index
Brazil soccer legend Rivaldo is of the opinion that Neymar has made a lot of progress in the last two years, but he still lags behind his Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi.
Rivaldo considers Messi as the best player in the world even now. The former Barcelona striker knows a thing or two about dominating at the world level. Rivaldo was considered as one of the fiercest strikers at his peak when he was playing for Barcelona. When Neymar's move to the Camp Nou was announced, there were instant comparisons between Neymar and Rivaldo. The latter has tried focusing more on the comparisons with Messi.
Even though Messi has come out unsuccessful in three major international tournaments over a period of three years, many still regard him to be the best. He comes on the back of an average campaign with Barcelona. After being overshadowed by Luis Suarez in most of the games last season, Messi is in need of a comeback campaign. Even now, Rivaldo considers Messi to be a step ahead in the race. One of the primary ambitions for Neymar is to be crowned as the best player in the world. Rivaldo achieved this status back in 1999, but he reckons that Neymar is a couple of years away from reaching this stage.
"As a Brazilian, I've really enjoyed the progress Neymar has made for the last two years. But for all that he has achieved over the past decade, the excellent season that he was still able to have, but also his immense talent, Lionel Messi is still, for me, the star and the best player at Barca. I think this time, with the quality of the current team, the presence of players with great experience at top European clubs – including Neymar – we've obviously got a real opportunity to get to the top of the podium," said Rivaldo.

Historic first for Buckley
By Jake StolteSportPublished: Dec 23, 2020 Last Updated: Dec 23, 2020
LA MOYE Golf Club's first-ever female junior captain is hoping to use her role to encourage other young girls to get involved in the sport.
Lily Buckley has become La Moye Golf Club's first female junior golf captain. Picture: DAVID FERGUSON.
Lily Buckley (17), who has been playing golf since the age of seven and competing in local contests since she earned her handicap at 12, was recently chosen to be the club's junior golf captain after she was nominated by fellow club members.
The JCG student – currently balancing golf and A-level-studies – admits she takes great pride in the honour and believes her achievement could act as inspiration for others.
'There are some really talented girls that I play with at the club but there are not a lot of girls my age playing golf on the Island,' she said. 'If there was more of us I think it would help to raise our standard massively.'
Buckley, a member of the Hampshire performance squad, who usually meet once a month to train, is aiming to reduce her handicap of six in 2021 while pushing for Island Games qualification – aided by an easing of Covid-19 restrictions.
'Some of the top ladies at the club have given me really positive feedback and think if I can keep improving I could have what it takes to make the Island Games in 2023,' she explained.
'That has given me the motivation I need to push on in the next year or two and try to achieve that goal.
'Getting to go away and play with girls my age and level [in Hampshire] really helps my game but unfortunately due to coronavirus a lot of the sessions this year have been cancelled. There have not been any contests this year due to coronavirus but I am still trying to get out and play as often as possible. It has been hard as I am having to prioritise my studying and the days are short and often wet and cold, which sometimes prevents you from playing.'
And Buckley will now have organisational duties to complete, too.
'In previous years captains have helped organise teams to play against other clubs,' she said.
'I want to use my captaincy to try and act as a role model for others as I think it is really important to have someone to look up to in your sport.'

From:Chicago
My 2002 996 coupe has a squeaking passenger seat when I push/pull the top or back part of the seat, including driving over bumps. I have half powered seats,,, the top/back is powered while the lower seat assembly is manual. The squeak happens when the top/back is in any position including up so you can access the back seats.
Something must be loose, but my question is if there are any DIY instructions that I could focus on instead of trying to tighten every bolt and hex screw that I can access. It's pretty compact down there...

911 Seats and Seatbelts Removal
By AutoAmateur
For anyone wanting to know how to remove the front and rear seats as well as the front driver/passenger seatbelts... this is the video for you! 😎 It was fun trying to figure out how to do this. Hopefully this helps anyone trying this. I would say removing the seats is 2/10 for difficulty, the side panels maybe 7/10 and then ultimately the seatbelts themselves a solid 5/10. Hope this helps! Should be more or less the same for the 996 and 997.

My 1999 911 Carrera started smoking at a streetlight. Very smelly blue smoke was coming from under the engine cover. I pulled over and popped the cover. Blue smoke was coming from somewhere under the engine (not the exhaust). The engine stopped very suddenly.
We don't have a local Porsche dealer, but the Subaru dealer owns a bunch of 911s and he has a couple Porsche mechanics. I had it towed there.
The C1 fuse ("Engine Electronics") was blown. They replaced it, but as soon as they turned the key, the "cam adjuster wiring harness" (I do not know what this is) began to smoke, and the fuse blew again.
They disconnected the cam adjuster wiring harness (I don't know what this means, and neither did the service advisor), and the fuse stayed intact, and they got the car started. They were able to drive it out to the parking lot with no problems.
They said I need a new cam adjuster wiring harness (again, no idea what this is), and this would require an engine out repair, which they could not do. They estimated this work at $5,000 to $6,000.
Additionally, they did not know how drivable the car was with a disconnected cam adjuster wiring harness.
So ... how bad is this? (Service report image attached.)
996 PSE exhaust going oddly quiet until 3500rpm
By radial
To all 996 owners with PSE, especially those with a 4S.
I think my 996 C4S exhaust behaves oddly. I think it's a fault but you might tell me it's normal behaviour. The problem is that I've always had this 'fault' on my car so I don't know if it's a fault or intentional behaviour. If you have the same car, perhaps you can shed some light on this.
When I start it, it's noisy and sounds great. It quiets down as it runs for the first 5 mins.
I have the PSE system and when I press the button you can audibly hear the exhaust note change - quieter when on and louder when off. Default is off so loud.
Here's the rub. Up to around 1500rpm it's got a good noise then it fades out to the point where it's so quiet it's like driving my partners Yaris. If I keep accelerating, when I get to around 3500rpm the exhaust suddenly gets loud again. I mean it's immediate - like someones flipping a switched marked loud. It sounds great.
It happens in 2nd and 3rd gears most noticeably and the PSE is in the 'off' position. If I have the PSE button on, then it's just quiet all the time and that works fine.
So why the silent spot?
I did read somewhere that German market cars might have had a system that turns on and off the PSE at certain speeds to prevent people driving round residential streets with a loud exhaust but information is thin and I don't think I was ever on UK cars.
I have also had a small go at checking vacuum pressure at idle on both sides of the Y piece in the engine bay but both hold good pressure. One side has only a microscopic leak but not enough to cause this kind of issue.
2005 996 gauges for racing simulator
By Dlowe
Hi everyone, I just got a set of gauges for a 2005 996. I'm building a simulator for PC and would like to wire the gauges to work with racing games. I am in need of the wiring diagrams for the cluster. If anyone has a picture or manual that can help me out it would be great! Looking for inputs, power, signal.

With the Hestan 10-piece collection in your cabinet, you're always ready for entertaining or just enjoying a satisfying family dinner. Hestan Culinary Chef Ambassador Aly Romero recently pulled out her 3.5qt Sauté Pan and 8qt Stockpot to create this rich and comforting dish.
STEP 1: Dice chicken into 1″ bite-sized pieces, adding salt and pepper. Heat a sauté pan over medium high heat for 1-2 minutes. Add extra virgin olive oil and heat another 1-2 minutes. Add chicken in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Let it cook for about 2 minutes undisturbed so it browns, then flip. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until just cooked through; it will cook a little longer later in the sauce. Set chicken aside to add back in later.
STEP 2: In the same sauté pan, while the pan is still hot, add the chicken stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, until stock is almost completely evaporated. Then add equal amounts of extra virgin olive oil and butter, about 2 Tbsp of each. Add sliced mushrooms and let sit for a minute, to brown along the edges. Stir and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes. Add shallots and garlic and cook 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Remove to a separate bowl.
STEP 3: Bring a stock pot of water to a boil and salt the water generously; cook pasta for 2 minutes less than instructions for al dente.
STEP 4: In the sauté pan, add heavy cream, pesto and gorgonzola cheese over a low simmer. Let it simmer for a few minutes while pasta is cooking, whisking occasionally. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, the mushroom mixture, julienned sun-dried tomatoes, cooked chicken and some parmesan cheese. Stir to combine in the sauce. Let everything combine for 1-2 minutes and then serve.
STEP 5: To serve, place in a large pasta bowl and top with julienned fresh basil and a little more parmesan cheese and drizzle a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
Reserve one cup of pasta water to add in a little at a time to loosen the sauce at the end, if needed. You can either use julienned sun-dried tomatoes in oil or, if you use the dried ones, reconstitute them on the stove by simmering them for 3-4 minutes in a pot of water before slicing.

Let me begin by saying that two weeks ago I'd never heard of "clafoutis." I didn't know how to pronounce "clafoutis." I certainly did not foresee myself making "clafoutis," and then eating it three separate times in the same day. I wanted to tell you the proper way to pronounce clafoutis, so like any red-blooded American I went to Wikipedia.
Reading through the clafoutis article just now, I've realized that this dish can only be called a clafoutis if it is made with cherries. When made with other fruits, it is referred to as a "flaugnarde" which is really even more ridiculous than clafoutis and I can't quite handle that. Let's just continue to refer to it as a clafoutis, simply because this whole mess is getting too French for me.
So back to the pronunciation thing: since I also don't know how to read phonetic symbols (although I did attend approximately 28% of the scheduled classes for my phonetics lecture at university), I'm going to guess that it is pronounced like "kla-foo-tee" with extra emphasis on the "tee." Please correct me if I'm wrong!
Right, so whether you are making a clafoutis with cherries or a flaugnarde with peaches, the method is the same. You're essentially mixing fresh fruit with a delicious flan-like custard and baking it in the oven. It's heaven, really. My incredible friend Michele came over the morning I was baking this and we weren't sure if it was meant to be a breakfast or a dessert. So we ate it for breakfast. And then later I ate it for dessert. And maybe in between those two events I snacked on it midday.
My kitchen was overflowing with an abundance of ripe, delicious peaches so I wanted to make something that really showcased their sweet flavor. This (faux) clafoutis did the job perfectly. I decided to mix things up a bit and spice the clafoutis with chai spices to complement the fruit.
Rather than using a traditional pie dish, I decided to bake the clafoutis in a cast iron skillet. I don't know why but I just love making desserts in that thing! It makes everything seem so rustic and lovely.
I adapted Julia Child's original clafoutis recipe because it seemed like a perfectly good place to start. I just finished reading Julie & Julia (I must be the last food blogger on the planet to read it!), so Julia Child has been on my mind lately. Since I also recently bashed French food as being unnecessarily complicated, I thought that you might appreciate a simple and delicious addition to your European repertoire.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Set out a large bowl of ice water. Use a sharp knife to score the bottom of the peaches with a large "x", then place them in the boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove, and plunge immediately into the ice bath. Let sit for another 30 seconds, then place on a cutting board to rest for a few minutes. Starting at the bottom of the peach, use your fingers to peel back the skin by tugging on the corners of the pre-scored "x." Once peeled, discard the skins and thinly slice the peaches.
Place the cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and coriander into a large blender. Add 1/3 c. sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, flour, and milk and blend until smooth.
Grease a 9-10″ cast iron skillet with butter and pour in a 1/4 inch layer of the batter. Bake for about 2-3 minutes or until a film of batter just barely sets in the pan. The rest of the batter will still be raw.
Remove from the heat and keep the oven on. Lay the sliced peaches over the batter in a circular design. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar over the peaches, then pour on the rest of the batter.
Bake for another 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven when it is puffed and brown, and a knife comes out clean. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, serve warm.

The Roots of Dance / Korzenie tańca in Zagreb
The Roots of Dance is an international and multicultural artistic project addressed to young dancers and choreographers. It aims to stimulate the imagination of artists by seeking inspiration in local culture in order to develop contemporary dance and enrich dance culture worldwide. The artists have just returned from another trip and wrapped up the workshop in Zagreb.
The Roots of Dance will last until the end of 2022. The summary of the project will be a documentary film and a screening for the public in autumn in Katowice.
The workshops in Zagreb between 8 and 12 June 2022 were led by Aleksandra Dziurosz, PhD, Anglika Karal and Jacek Łumiński, PhD.
Angelika Karal, Workshop leader
– In Croatia, we spent a lot of time talking about history, traditions and the difficulty of finding one's own identity. In a country which has only recently taken a completely different shape and is marked by a great deal of experience and cultural diversity, finding one's identity was by no means an easy task. In their research and presentations, the participants largely focused on rhythms, traditional music and experiences and memories from their childhood or family home. For them, this was the starting point, the elements that constituted the beginning of finding an individual identity. Despite the short time we had during the workshop, it was probably the maturity of these people that allowed us to quickly direct and embed their activities. We were only gentle facilitators in activities that were practically immediately clear. It seems to me that the traditional songs or tunes used in quite a few of the presentations were symbolic of the search and the need to find identity, and the music was somehow an anchor that helped to embed this search somehow.
Jacques Valenta, Director of TRAFIK Tranzicijsko-fikcijsko kazalište Dance Theatre, co-organiser of workshops at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb
– This project is fascinating, because it allows us to look back and explore our roots of dance in Croatia. For a long time in the contemporary dance there was a lot of exploration of other kind of topics. In the late 80s, we stared to explore the roots of dance. During the workshops this year, Jacek Łumiński, brought us back to this topic in a much more deeper way. He showed what to do with the roots of dance today, how to get deeper and connect with them. This was based on his experience over the years. During these few days I could have a taste of the leaders' way of thinking of the roots and their exploration over the years. This was a continuation of our online workshops we started last autumn. Tonight we have a presentation and I will share my experiences with the audience here.
Sharing from Zagreb:
The project is co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage as part of the "Inspirational Culture" Programme.

Caturday: Adam and Eve's pets
The Story of Adam and Eve's Pets
(No, you won't find it in the Bible.)
Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us."
And God said, "I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal and God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."
And God said, "I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, and his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."
And God said, "I will create for them a companion who will be with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And Dog was happy.
And Cat...

One of our star undergrad students, Cord Helken, presented his research at the CURO symposium on April 3. The symposium was great and featured some real undergraduate stars at UGA. Cord even got to present his poster to the Provost (who was impressed)!
The CCRC is a wonderful research facility doing first-class glycobiology. And the people are great colleagues. But until today there has been no food service beyond vending machines. The UGA Taco truck saved the day! It was very popular and a fun social event. The cauliflower quesadilla was tasty! We hope this will be a weekly event, at least!

A Dose of Empathy: Understanding the Root of COVID Vaccine Resistance
By Susan Eymann, MS13 Dec 2021
The COVID-19 vaccine has been available to the public for nearly a year. Despite many reports on the vaccine's safety, and the fact that it's widely available and at no cost, many patients remain hesitant to receive it.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins found that the higher the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) score of a community, the more likely it was to have high vaccine hesitancy. Counties with high SVI scores had vaccination rates at 17%, compared to 19% in communities with low-moderate SVI ratings.
According to the CDC, "Social vulnerability refers to the potential negative effects on communities caused by external stresses on human health."
The Johns Hopkins researchers also found that during the first weeks of the vaccine rollout, communities had similar vaccine hesitancy, no matter their SVI score. However, by April, high hesitancy communities quickly emerged.
"By August, the researchers noted a 9-percentage point gulf in vaccine receipt between high- and moderate-hesitancy counties and a 17-percentage point difference between high- and low-hesitancy counties," wrote Patient Engagement HIT
Racial health disparities also play a role in COVID-19 vaccination. Not only are Black patients more likely to have a COVID infection than white patients, they're also more hesitant to receive the vaccine due to distrust of the medical system due to racism.
In addition to the above factors, Press Ganey found there are four determinants of vaccine hesitancy:
For those who were enthusiastic about the vaccine, researchers found they felt the benefits of the vaccine outweighed the risks and had trust in the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. Patients whose fears were assuaged and who learned about how the vaccine can protect them from COVID-19 were more likely to be vaccine enthusiastic.
What's contributing to vaccine hesitancy?
Aside from the above reasons, people are hesitant to get vaccinated because they don't trust the government or government bodies like the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The CDC hasn't updated its COVID vaccine breakthrough data since September, which can make some people feel like the agency is hiding something.
Another issue at play is the fear of severe side effects from the vaccine. As more and more people get vaccinated, the FDA and CDC are getting a clearer picture of vaccine adverse events via the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
Celebrities, social media and some news outlets also play a role in vaccine hesitancy by sharing false information about the virus, the vaccine and its side effects.
How to talk to your patient about the vaccine
How you approach your patient about COVID vaccination can influence whether or not they get the shot.
Regardless of where your patient received their information, it's important to show empathy when listening to their fears and concerns. The CDC recommends being genuinely curious about why the patient feels the way they do. It's also important to be sensitive to any cultural, religious or other circumstances that may influence how a patient views the vaccine.
Keep in mind that debating and arguing aren't effective and may actually backfire with someone who has come to your office with fears about the vaccine.
Understanding why your patient feels the way they do and responding with empathy may go a long way in addressing vaccine fears and misinformation.


Hooray for sunshine! Soak it up!
Such a nice family picture!!
Sun makes the day so much better!
That's the same scene for our three - out on the deck in the sun hanging out. That was us ten minutes ago! Enjoy it!

The plan was to build two fountains, each consuming approximately an acre of real estate, with water plummeting 30 feet into the first stages of the pools, or upper voids, followed by 21-foot spills into the lower voids.
They needed a reliable waterproofing system to protect a subterranean museum, heavy rail-rapid transit trains and the physical plant for Towers 1-4, all located below the fountains. Keeping these systems free of water infiltration was an engineering challenge requiring high-performance materials and a team of experts who understood how to address these challenging construction requirements.
Most waterproofing products on the market can keep structures watertight, but they have numerous physical and chemical limitations. These limitations include exposure to surrounding environments, UV light, chemicals, or even traffic. Many traditional waterproofing materials are also limited by application temperature. Finding a system capable of withstanding these conditions was the challenge.
Ultimately, the waterproofing specification was created based on certain properties of the coating. These properties included UV stability, ability to cure quickly, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and potable water approval. Several waterproofing products manufacturers were evaluated during the selection process. They examined their track records, level of technical field support, and references for projects with similar or more demanding conditions.
Finally, after significant scrutiny and evaluation, CIM's urethane coating was selected to waterproof the World Trade Center Memorial. The products used were CIM 1061 and CIM 1000 Trowel Grade manufactured by C.I.M. Industries, Inc.
After more than 15 years, the largest man-made waterfall still remains watertight, thanks to CIM coatings.
Stay tuned for the next blog, where we will delve into the details and methodologies used to waterproof the concrete of this monument.
