# Female genital mutilation in Sudan

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is highly prevalent in Sudan. According to a 2014 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), 86.6 percent of women aged 15–49 in Sudan reported living with FGM, and said that 31.5 percent of their daughters had been cut. The most common FGM procedure in that country is Type III (infibulation); the 2014 survey found that 77 percent of respondents had experienced Type III.
Most FGM procedures in Sudan have traditionally been performed by local circumcisers without anaesthesia or antibiotics. The 2014 survey indicated that 77 percent of the 0–14 age group had been cut by health personnel, according to their mothers, and 20 percent by traditional circumcisers. Most girls (66 percent) are cut between ages 5–9.

## Type of FGM

The most common FGM procedure in Sudan is Type III, also known as "pharaonic circumcision" and referred to in surveys as "sewn closed". This involves removal of the inner and/or outer labia, with or without removal of the clitoral glans, and fusion of the wound, leaving a small hole for the passage of urine and menstrual blood. As of 1990, 3.5 million of the country's 4.8 million women aged 15–49 were thought to be living with infibulation.

## Age cut

According to Asma El Dareer in Woman, Why Do You Weep? (1982), most FGM in Sudan at that time was carried out on girls aged 4–8 and sometimes as young as 7 days. In the 2014 MICS, 66 percent of those cut said they had undergone the procedure at age 5–9; 14 percent at 10–14; 10 percent at 15 or older; and 9 percent at 4 or younger.

## Prevalence

The 2014 MICS found that 77 percent of respondents had experienced Type III. The states with the highest prevalence of any form of FGM were North Kordofan, Northern, North Darfur, and East Darfur, where over 97 percent of women reported having been cut. Gezira had the highest number. Northern had the highest percentage of Type III; 94.6 percent of those who had experienced any form of FGM had been sewn closed.

## Law

Sudan introduced legislation against Type III FGM in 1946, but it was widely ignored, and in 1983, it was removed entirely with the introduction of Sharia law. Attempts since then to criminalize it, including with the National Child Act of 2009, had failed before 2020.
FGM was criminalized in Sudan in 2020. Offenders can be fined and sent to prison for three years, although human rights advocates note that it may be difficult to enforce the law.

# Blackdown Hill, Dorset

Blackdown Hill is a prominent elevation, 215 metres (705 ft) high, 5 miles (8.0 km) south west of the town of Crewkerne, in the county of Dorset in the south west of England. Its prominence of 34 metres (112 ft) means it is listed as one of the Tumps. It runs parallel to the B3165 towering over the village of Blackdown and hamlet of Kittwhistle at the foot of the eastern flanks of the ridge.
The open summit of the hill lies at the northern end of a mile-long north-south ridge. The Jubilee Trail runs along the ridge line initially before dropping just below it to the west and then descending steeply down Venn Hill, a northwestern spur of Blackdown, towards the village of Thorncombe on the far side of the River Synderford that runs past the foot of Blackdown Hill to the west. Pilsdon Pen (277 m), formerly thought to be Dorset's highest point, lies about 2 miles (3.2 km) to the south east. To the east is the Temple Brook which rises north of the col between Blackdown and Pilsdon Pen.
# Ruby Creek (Fraser River tributary)

Ruby Creek is a tributary of the Fraser River in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada, rising in the southern Lillooet Ranges and joining the Fraser east of Sea Bird Island at the locality of Ruby Creek and the associated Ruby Creek Indian Reserve No. 2. It is the largest tributary along the north side of the Fraser between Hope and Agassiz.
# Rate of force development

Rate of force development (RFD) relates to the amount of force that a person can generate over a period of time. More force generated over a time period means that the RFD is higher. Maximum RFD is based upon the greatest amount of force developed in the shortest time.

## Importance

A high RFD is important in order to achieve faster and more powerful movements. For example, an ability to achieve a higher RFD will mean a person can jump higher than they would be able to do otherwise. The interaction between the neuromuscular system and the muscles is of particular importance in understanding the related physiological processes.

# Hillcrest Park

Hillcrest Park is located in the Riley Park neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia. It is located immediately north of Queen Elizabeth Park and west of Riley Park.
Next to Hillcrest Park is the site containing Nat Bailey Stadium, home of the Vancouver Canadians baseball team; the Millennium Sports Centre, home to both the Phoenix Gymnastics Club and the Pacific Indoor Bowls Club; and the Vancouver Racquets Club.
The little league Little Mountain Baseball has its ballpark and clubhouse in Hillcrest Park. They also use ballparks at Riley Park for the younger age groups. In addition, there are two larger diamonds used by Vancouver Community Baseball. During the soccer season the ballparks are converted to be used as soccer fields by various competitive and recreational leagues.
Hillcrest Park also is home to the Vancouver Curling Club. It had been at the south-west corner of the park in a small building, with only 5 sheets. With the 2010 Winter Olympics coming to Vancouver the club gained and expanded facility, at the Hillcrest Centre, next door to the Millennium Sports Centre. The new facility houses a new community centre, library, ice rink, curling arena, and the Percy Norman Aquatic Centre. Construction of the arena started in March 2007 and was mostly completed by February 2009. The aquatics portion of the building was completed in spring of 2009, and the final renovations to finish the community centre occurred after the 2010 Winter Games.

## Financial Support

The project was made available from all levels of government. Through the Canada-BC Infrastructure Program (CBCIP), administered by Western Economic Diversification Canada, the Government of Canada (GoC) and the Province of BC invested $1.7 million. The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation provided $250,000, and agreed to lease the land to the Vancouver Millennium Sport Facility Society for $1 per year-an in kind donation equivalent to more than $2 million.
