Birch was married to Karl Newell and had two children, Charlotte and Spencer.
|
She died on May 26, 2019, in Durham, North Carolina, at the age of 72.
|
Birch is credited with being a pioneer in the field of childhood eating behavior.
|
She conducted research on a number of subtopics within this area, including selective eating, parental influences on eating behaviors, and psychological aspects of obesity, from infancy through adolescence.
|
One line of Birch's research examined children's food-related neophobia, the fear or dislike of novel items.
|
She demonstrated that with repeated exposure, children can learn to like previously rejected foods, such as vegetables.
|
Birch co-led a project evaluating an intervention designed to teach first-time parents effective ways to respond to their infants' needs, aside from feeding.
|
At three years old, children in the intervention group had lower BMIs, compared to children in a control group, and a smaller proportion who could be categorized as overweight or obese.
|
This research was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Piedra Rodante
|
Piedra Rodante was a Mexican news and culture paper, purportedly the Mexican version of the Rolling Stone magazine with some licensed content from its American counterpart.
|
Known for being the country's first truly non-political alternative newspaper, it was founded in 1970 by Jungian psychologist Manuel Aceves (1940-2009), the "Piedra" began as a platform for all the jipitecas and sympathizers of La Onda movement all over the Americas as well as in Spain, openly discussing about taboo issues for Mexican society of the time such as the "Halconazo", drug use and legalization, sex, WLM, religion, abortion as well as in-depth articles about literature, rock and contemporary classical music.
|
With a total of 9 issues published and one unreleased from late 1970 to early 1972, the magazine was forced to close down following the Echeverria's systematic crackdown of La Onda after the Avandaro Festival.
|
The "Piedra" hosted a variety of Avant-Garde and La Onda writers and intellectuals, such as Alejandro Jodorowsky, Enrique Marroquin, Jose Agustin, Parmenides Garcia, Juan Tovar among others.
|
The "chanchomona" was a rolling machine.
|
According to Aceves, its publicity on the magazine proved enough for journalist Blanco Moheno to persuade the then-secretary of Education Bravo Ahuja to pressure Moya Palencia and Echeverria to shut down the magazine.
|
Although some personalities from the left and the right were highly critical -but somehow tolerant- of the magazine such as Zabludovsky and Monsivais, the most reactionary of them all was Blanco Moheno, who even called for Aceves to be executed.
|
During the Avandaro festival and in front of Cablevision cameras of the Alfredo Gurrola team as well as dozens of photographers -among them Graciela Iturbide-, a woman performed a striptease.
|
The woman came to be known as "La Encuerada de Avandaro" (Avandaro's naked woman).
|
Elena Poniatowska interviewed her and a fragment of that interview was published in Octavio Paz' "PLURAL" magazine in October 1971; however, since Poniatowska did not reveal much about her, her story became the subject of many speculations -such as the bogus Casos de Alarma story about her life- and her image appeared in different media, including one pop music magazine which sold 100,000 units.
|
Piedra Rodante then published an in-depth interview with her.
|
Intellectuals such as Jose Agustin and Carlos Monsivais used that interview as reference for some of their essays.
|
In 2001, Oscar Sarquiz, -one of the collaborators of the magazine- revealed via La Jornada that the interview was fabricated and accused Manuel Aceves of the fabrication, something Aceves denied; however, Rubli Kaiser, an Avandaro attendee and an independent researcher, conducted a thorough investigation visiting the Archivo General de la Nacion, where he found the true identity of the woman.
|
On June 27, 2016, the Stony Brook University posted via Facebook that all issues were completely (save from the extremely hard-to-find issue "zero") digitalized.
|
The collection was kindly donated by Mexican rock historian Dr. Eric Zolov.

Chaim Malinowitz
|
Chaim Zev Malinowitz (1952 – November 21, 2019) was a Haredi community rabbi, dayan (rabbinical court judge), and Talmudic scholar.
|
Fluent in all areas of the Talmud, halakha (Jewish law), and hashkafa (Orthodox Jewish worldview), he was the general editor of the 73-volume Schottenstein Edition of the Babylonian Talmud published by ArtScroll.
|
After making "aliyah" to Israel, he became the Rav of Beis Tefillah Yonah Avraham, an English-speaking congregation for Anglo "olim" in Ramat Beit Shemesh, which he led for 17 years.
|
Chaim Zev Malinowitz was born in 1952 on the Lower East Side of New York City.
|
His father, Rabbi Avrohom Aharon Malinowitz, had been a student of Aharon Kotler in Kletsk, Poland (now Belarus).
|
Malinowitz was a gifted student at Rabbi Jacob Joseph School.
|
After his bar mitzvah, he was accepted to the Talmudical Yeshiva of Philadelphia where, albeit younger than the other students, he skipped two grades and was accepted to the beth midrash (undergraduate-level) program under Rabbi Mendel Kaplan.
|
His desire to have more time for study led him to begin awakening at 4 a.m. and praying "vasikin", the pre-dawn prayer, a practice he maintained for the rest of his life.
|
He next studied at Yeshivas Iyun HaTalmud in Monsey, New York, under Rabbi Abba Berman, a main disciple of Rabbi Yerucham Levovitz.
|
He remained at this yeshivah for six years, until his marriage in 1976, whereupon he entered the kollel.
|
In 1980, he was appointed by Berman to take over as rosh kollel when Berman made aliyah to Israel.
|
In the early 1970s, Malinowitz also studied the Tanya in a late-night "shiur" given by Chabad rabbi Yoel Kahn.
|
After receiving rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, Malinowitz served as a dayan (rabbinical court judge) for the rabbinical court of Kollel HaRabbanim in Monsey.
|
In this role, he became known as a "world authority on "gittin"" (Jewish divorce) and also dealt with cases of "agunos".
|
He staunchly opposed the 1992 New York Get Law proposed by Jewish activist groups, which would penalize husbands who refused to grant their wives a "get" by making it difficult for them to arrange a civil divorce.
|
Malinowitz contended that the coercive element of the penalty could halakhically invalidate all divorces in New York.
|
Ultimately, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach's decision on the matter, which agreed with Malinowitz's position, eroded support for the law.
|
In 1992 Malinowitz was appointed, along with Rabbi Yisrael Simcha Schorr, as general editor of the Schottenstein Edition of the Babylonian Talmud published by ArtScroll.
|
The English-language Schottenstein Talmud spanned 73 volumes and was completed over a period of 15 years.
|
Malinowitz was responsible for approving "every single line and every single footnote" of the translation and commentary of the Talmud submitted by the editorial staff for both the English and Hebrew editions.
|
According to a senior editor on the project, Rabbi Eliezer Herzka: "His role was to learn through the "sugya" [topic] with the ArtScroll commentary to probe it to find its weak points".
|
Herzka explained that Malinowitz's knowledge of the Talmud was so broad that he would know when the present "sugya" inadequately covered important opinions by the classic Talmudic commentators that were cited in similar "sugyas" elsewhere in Talmud.
|
Nothing was considered final until Malinowitz approved the finished draft.
|
Malinowitz also worked on ArtScroll's elucidated Mishnah project.
|
He continued his association with ArtScroll after making aliyah in 1997.
|
Upon moving to Israel, Malinowitz began to teach at Yeshivat Aish HaTorah.
|
In 2002, he was hired as Rav of Beis Tefillah Yonah Avraham in Ramat Beit Shemesh, an English-speaking congregation catering to Anglo "olim".
|
As a community rav, Malinowitz introduced many "shiurim" to the synagogue schedule, including classes on different subjects and at different levels for men, women, and children.
|
He also studied one-on-one with many congregants.
|
Malinowitz was fluent in all areas of the Talmud, halakha (Jewish law), and hashkafa (Orthodox Jewish worldview).
|
He combined this knowledge with "fearlessness" to act on his convictions and a strong desire for truth.
|
At the same time, he was regarded as a friendly, "down to earth" personality who cared for others.
|
Malinowitz married Simi Maza, daughter of Rabbi Dovber Maza, a Torah educator, in 1976.
|
The couple had six sons and four daughters.
|
After making aliyah, they resided in Jerusalem.
|
Malinowitz died in Jerusalem on November 21, 2019 at the age of 67.
|
He was buried in the Rechovot cemetery near his parents.
