The Death of an Iraqi Prisoner
By John McChesney
Published October 27, 2005 at 12:00 AM EDT
Photographs of grinning GIs crouched over the iced-down, battered corpse of Manadel al-Jamadi were among the most horrific images of the 2003 Abu Ghraib prison scandal. The photos became one of the most powerful symbols for those who opposed to the American invasion of Iraq.
The Iraqi insurgent died within hours of his capture, while being interrogated by the CIA. A military autopsy ruled Jamadi's death a homicide, but no one has been held accountable for his death.
An NPR special report recounts the final hours of Jamadi's life, compiled from a review of thousands of CIA and military documents. Interviews with those present the night he died reveal the techniques used to extract information from Jamadi, and also show a discrepancy between military police and CIA agents about what happened just before his death.
Jamadi's Capture
The assignment was clear: kill or capture Jamadi. The CIA had identified the Iraqi as a former officer in Saddam Hussein's army and a key leader of a terrorist cell. He was also considered a suspect in an attack on the al-Rashid Hotel during a visit by Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz in October 2003.
At 2 a.m. on Nov. 4, 2003, a convoy of humvees and blacked-out CIA Chevy Suburbans entered a deserted street in a hostile Baghdad suburb. The humvees stopped in front of a three-story apartment building, and a platoon of Navy SEALs tumbled out of the humvees and raced up the stairs.
SEAL Dan Cerrillo described the capture to CIA investigators six months later. As Cerrillo placed a charge on the apartment, the door opened. Cerrillo rushed the door, striking Jamadi with it.
Then, according to the report, Cerrillo hit Jamadi "in the face with two fists and attempted to wrestle the subject to the ground, but Jamadi resisted and they engaged in hand-to-hand combat." After a considerable struggle, Jamadi was eventually subdued and cuffed by Cerrillo, a hood was placed over his head, and he was taken first to an Army base, then to the SEALS field base, known as Camp Jenny Pozzi.
Jamadi was interrogated there for nearly an hour and a half. Eyewitnesses interviewed by CIA investigators say Jamadi was seated and stripped, and cold water was poured over him. A Navy SEAL said at one point, the interrogator leaned into a pressure point on Jamadi's chest with his foreman.
Jamadi was then moved to Abu Ghraib for further interrogation. At the prison, MPs stretched Jamadi's arms directly behind him and shackled his wrists to window bars. If the arms bear the full weight of the body, the position can be extremely painful. But MPs later told CIA investigators that Jamadi had been given enough slack to kneel or stand.
During this new round of questioning by CIA agents, Jamadi slumped forward, with his weight on his shackled wrists. MPs, while trying to reposition Jamadi, discovered he was dead. His death occurred within five-and-a-half hours of his capture.
Death Ruled a 'Homicide'
Nearly two years later, the CIA is still investigating Jamadi's death. A military autopsy labeled his death a homicide, due to "blunt force trauma to the torso complicated by compromised respiration."
Autopsy photos show lacerations and multiple bruises on Jamadi's feet, thighs and arms. His most significant injuries -- five broken ribs -- are not visible in the photos. There were no bruises in that area, leading military medical examiners to say that the fractures were probably caused by a slow, deliberate application of force, such as someone kneeling on his chest.
NPR consulted Dr. Edmund Donoghue, chief medical examiner of Cook County, Ill., and president of the American Academy of Forensic Scientists, on the military's autopsy report. Donoghue agreed with its findings.
How Jamadi was shackled "makes it very difficult to breathe because you are suspended in a very awkward position," Donoghue told NPR. "When you combine it with having the hood over your head and having broken ribs, it's fairly clear that this death was caused by asphyxia because he couldn't breathe properly," said Donoghue.
It remains unclear at what point Jamadi's ribs were broken.
Military officials who investigated the Abu Ghraib scandal made it clear that at the time of Jamadi's interrogation, the CIA was playing outside the rules.
A 2004 report by Major General George Fay concluded: "CIA detention and interrogation practices led to a loss of accountability, abuse, reduced interagency cooperation, and an unhealthy mystique that further poisoned the atmosphere at Abu Ghraib."
The SEALs denied hitting Jamadi with enough force during his capture and transport to cause any lethal injury. The leader of the SEAL platoon, Lt. Andrew Ledford, was acquitted on charges of dereliction of duty for allowing his men to beat Jamadi. Careers were wrecked but no one was convicted of a crime. No action has been taken by the CIA.
Human rights groups and some members of Congress have expressed frustration with the slow pace of the CIA's response in this and other cases of alleged detainee abuse by the agency. In an Army trial scheduled for December, the CIA will again be under scrutiny for its role in the death of an Iraqi general, who was stuffed into a sleeping bag and died, according to an autopsy, of asphyxia due to smothering and chest compression.

How Robot-Assisted Surgery Is Changing the Game
Source: nm.org
As you know, The area of surgery that deals with the musculoskeletal system is called orthopedic surgery. This comprises ligaments, tendons, muscles, joints, and bones. Orthopedic technology has developed significantly over time, making procedures less invasive and more accurate. Let's look at some of the most groundbreaking milestones in Orthopedic history.
The Role of Robotics in Orthopedic Medicine
Robotics has been significantly impacting medicine, and Orthopedics is no exception. Robot-assisted surgery has been changing the game for Orthopedic procedures. Let's take a closer look at what robotics are doing for Orthopedics and how they're making a difference.
Robotic technology has been around for quite some time, but its use in Orthopedics is relatively new.
The first robot-assisted surgery was performed in 2000 and was used to help with joint replacements. Since then, robotics have been used for various Orthopedic procedures, including knee and hip replacements, spine surgeries, and even ankle fusions.
3-D Printed Joint Replacements: A Revolutionary Advancement
Source: smithsonianmag.com
3-D printing has already revolutionized the world of manufacturing and construction, and now it's also making waves in the medical industry. One groundbreaking application is 3-D printed joint replacements.
3-D printed joint replacements are revolutionary because they are made specifically for each patient. This means they can be designed to fit the patient's anatomy perfectly, resulting in a better fit and fewer complications. They are also incredibly durable, making them a longer-lasting option than traditional joint replacements. One of the main benefits of 3-D printed joint replacements is that they can be made quickly and easily. This is a huge advantage for patients who need surgery urgently.
Additionally, because they are made to order, there is no need for inventory, which reduces costs. 3-D printed joint replacements are changing the game for Orthopedics, and without a doubt, they will go on doing so in the future.
Remote Assistive Surgery: What Is It?
You may have heard of 'robotic surgery' and wondered what it is. Robotic surgery, or robot-assisted surgery, is a type of surgery that uses a robotic arm to assist the surgeon in performing the procedure. This advanced technology offers many benefits, including precision, skill, and control. One of the newest and most exciting developments in robotic surgery is 'remote assistive surgery.' This is a type of surgery in which the surgeon is not physically present in the operating room but instead controls the robotic arm remotely.
This allows surgery to be performed in situations where it would otherwise be impossible or too dangerous for the surgeon to be present, such as in war zones or the event of a natural disaster.
While this technology is still in its early stages, it shows great promise for the future of surgery. Remote assistive surgery has the potential to revolutionize the field of medicine, making surgery accessible to people in all parts of the world.
Remote assistive surgery, or telesurgery, is a type of robotic surgery that allows the surgeon to operate on a patient from a remote location. This cutting-edge technology has made it possible for surgeons to perform complex procedures on patients who cannot travel to the hospital.
Computer-Assisted Technology in Orthopedic Surgery
Source: blog.peekmed.com
Computer-assisted technology is playing an ever-expanding role in Orthopedic surgery. Orthopedic surgeons are now turning to the latest computer-assisted technology to provide more precise and efficient treatment options for their patients. Computer-assisted technology allows surgeons to plan out the most intricate surgeries and perform them more safely and accurately with less risk of adverse side effects.
With computer-assisted tools, surgeons can plan out complex procedures with 3D models, coordinate multi-layered operations, and execute these tasks with greater accuracy and speed. Additionally, the use of robots in Orthopedic surgery enables minimally invasive procedures that lead to reduced hospital stays, quicker recoveries, and better patient outcomes. Robotics is quickly becoming the go-to tool for Orthopedic surgeons looking to offer their patients the best possible care.
Robot-Assisted Hip and Knee Replacements
Over the past few decades, advances in Orthopedic medicine have been incredible. One of the most significant advances of recent years has been the introduction of robotics into Orthopedic surgery. Robot-assisted hip and knee replacements have revolutionized the way these surgeries are performed, providing greater accuracy and precision and faster recovery times for patients. Robot-assisted surgery is performed using a surgical robot, a computer-controlled device that allows surgeons to perform complex surgeries more precisely and accurately. The surgeon controls the surgical robot using a console, and it can perform various Orthopedic surgeries, including hip and knee replacements.
Robot-assisted hip and knee replacements have several advantages over traditional surgeries:
The surgeon has greater control over the implant placement, which leads to better long-term results.
Robot-assisted surgery is less invasive, meaning there is less damage to surrounding tissue and a lower risk of complications. Patients who have robotic surgery often have a shorter hospital stay, less discomfort, and a speedier recovery.
As the benefits of robot-assisted surgery become more widely known, more and more Orthopedic surgeons will begin to adopt this technology. This will therefore result in even better results for individuals having hip and knee replacements.
Robotic-assisted hip and knee replacements are designed to give a better outcome for Orthopedic surgery than traditional methods. This is because the robot allows for more precise targeting than manual surgery – meaning that surgeons know precisely where to place the components of each replacement joint, resulting in a higher success rate for patients. The robot also allows for a quicker and more accurate procedure, which can help reduce recovery time significantly.
For a good example of an orthopedic surgeon using this method check out Integrated Orthopedics.

The Future of Robotics in Orthopedic Medicine
The possibilities are endless regarding the future of robotics in Orthopedic medicine. As technology advances, robotic-assisted surgery will become even more precise and efficient. Robots are also expected to play an essential role in helping diagnose a patient's condition and make treatment decisions. Using AI algorithms, robots can help doctors make more informed decisions based on a patient's medical history and other factors. Additionally, robotic-assisted surgery is expected to become even more cost-effective in the future, making it accessible to people who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it.
All of this is incredibly exciting and points to a brighter future for Orthopedic medicine that incorporates robotics. It's important to note that while the future of robotics in Orthopedic medicine is inspiring, there are still some challenges that need to be addressed. For example, surgeons need to be adequately trained in using the technology, and there need to be clear guidelines to ensure that the surgery is performed safely. Additionally, as with any new technology, there are always risks involved. However, the potential benefits of robotics in Orthopedic medicine far outweigh the risks, and it's expected that this technology will continue to revolutionize the field for years to come.
It is clear that Orthopedic surgery has come a long way, and with the help of robotics, it is changing the game. Surgeons can now perform procedures with more accuracy and precision, leading to better patient outcomes. As robotics continue to evolve, it is exciting to think about all the possibilities they may bring to the world of Orthopedics.

Sustainable Charlbury sustainablecharlbury.org provides a forum where the people of Charlbury can discuss how we can live more sustainably and lower carbon emissions - both as individuals and together as a town.
We are inviting our current - and new - supporters to join SusCha formally, giving members voting rights on what should be priorities for the next year.
We also aim to build on past activities to turn them into more long-term policies for the town. For example, early in the summer we worked with the Charlbury Cycling Group to have bikes fixed at the Farmer's Market and would like now to extend this into making Charlbury more cycle-friendly by encouraging the Town Council to adopt such a policy leading to some bike routes, cycle parking, etc. This will all coalesce around our affiliation to the 10:10 campaign.
We recently held a meeting with the Hook Norton Low Carbon who have offered to see if some of the £0.5m grant they received from the government in July could be used outside its immediate vicinity. We are drafting a short proposal to try and obtain funding for the school to reduce its energy consumption and install solar panels for the swimming pool.
We would use this as the basis for exploring community purchase of solar PV and hot water panels to reduce costs, perhaps using two companies recommended by Hook Norton Low Carbon.
We would also like to explore setting up a car club, installing a local wind turbine and so on. Lots of ideas and enthusiasm! These also build on SusCha/ CAWAG activities around food, waste, and so on.
Our objective is to have a suite of activities that cover many sustainability issues and start to provide a buzz around town.
What's the average CO2 emission by each person in the UK per year?
In a sustainable world, what would be your CO2 target?
Producing a free range versus an intensively-reared egg requires how many calories of energy?
Replacing all single glazing in the UK with low emissivity double glazing could save how much energy?
Do UK buildings, and in particular homes, cause more CO2 than UK cars?
Brushing your teeth with the tap running wastes how many litres per minute?
Our small purple balloon will hold 1 gramme of CO2. How many balloons are required to hold the CO2 from a 100W light bulb left on for 10 hours?
14,000 miles a year in a 1.6 litre car causes how many tonnes of CO2?

Q: Set win10/metro app as foreground window in powershell I am writing automated tests to verify that my website works as expected on Microsoft's Edge browser. As a part of my testing, I need to set focus on another window, and then reset the focus back onto the Edge browser.
With other browsers, I can use Set-WindowActive or SetForeGroundWindow, but neither of those work for Edge. For example, the following code works on any other browser, but does NOT work with MS Edge:
$IE = Get-Process iexplore
Select-Window $IE | Set-WindowActive

I believe this is because other browsers are desktop applications, but Edge uses the Metro app interface instead. How can I set focus on a Metro/Win10 style app using powershell?

It doesn't take a backbone to be a genius - or a master of the comedic arts, apparently.
But this tentacled one knows exactly what he's doing.
As it turns out, some octopuses, like this one, possess the foresight to actually pack along coconut shells to use as protective shelters when exploring areas without adequate places to hide.
Interestingly, this incredible finding was nearly lost to science within moments after being discovered. Julian Finn, a researcher from the Victoria Museum in Australia, who was among the first scientists to have witnessed this behavior first hand, was so impressed by what he observed - it nearly killed him.
"I almost drowned laughing when I saw this the first time," Finn told the BBC. "I could tell it was going to do something, but I didn't expect this - I didn't expect it would pick up the shell and run away with it."

This issue kicks off with Lucien Gates, The Ray, continuing to battle giant creatures– in this case flying monster stingrays– tied somehow to the mysterious beam that turned him into a being of pure light. But that's nothing compared to his attempt to win over the strict Indian parents of his girlfriend Chanti!
Since he is composed of light energy and can manipulate that energy, Lucien has the "bright" (sorry) idea to make himself look Indian when meeting them for the first time. Chanti is infuriated, his deception is revealed and she all but breaks up with him.
Later, Lucien's best friend Darius takes her out to dinner and tries to defend him to her, but she is still too upset. More giant creatures attack, interrupting their dinner and discussion. These are like huge matallic pill bugs who brandish ray guns, speak English and appear to be wearing pumps. (No really.) They seem to be eating men and kidnapping women. Uh oh. Chanti's a woman. Darius valiantly tries to protect her, but even after Lucien arrives, it's too late as one of the bug creatures takes Chanti and beats a hasty retreat!
Okay, so I don't love the fact that the hero's girlfriend wound up in the "damsel in distress" role, especially after Darius points out that she is "an independent woman with a high-profile job and her own opinions." She's built up as a tough, modern woman from a extremely traditional family, but then she turns into a victim. Well, maybe. We haven't seen how this all works out, yet.
That aside, this book is a sheer delight! It's smart, it's funny, the characters are supremely likeable. The use of giant monsters is always appreciated! I repeat, "flying, monster stingrays!" That's worth the price of admission alone, right there! It's just a fun super hero book, with elements of D-List 50s sci fi and post modern meta. (Lucien breaks the fourth wall.) I hope this book leads to an ongoing series and that he factors into the larger DC Universe. (I hope some bigger names drop by at some point.) I want an action figure of this character like you wouldn't believe!
Lovely art, great writing… this book is just fun with a capital F-U-N!

Ole Miss football: The Rebels' passing game is hurting -- quite literally
Brian Rippee | 1 year ago
Injuries finally caught up to Ole Miss in its 31-20 loss to Auburn. The offense has been decimated with them, particularly the wide receiver position. The Rebels were able to get by against Tennessee and LSU without Braylon Sanders and Jonathan Mingo. Dontario Drummond and a hodgepodge of secondary options provided just enough sufficiency catching the football to allow the offense to adequately function. But when Drummond pulled up with a hamstring injury early in the second quarter in Saturday night's loss, it served as the iceberg that finally sunk the ship.
Compound that with Matt Corral reaggravating an ankle injury he suffered against Tennessee and this once explosive offense was rendered hapless in a second half that saw them score just 3 points.
"It was a product of being without some key offensive guys," Lane Kiffin said. "We are playing a lot of guys that have not played a lot."
Ole Miss now enters a November stretch that will largely define whether this season is considered a success or a disappointment.
Assuming Corral plays against Liberty this weekend, the Rebels should be fine in 2 of their remaining 4 games — against the Flames and Vanderbilt. But unless Ole Miss gets healthier at the receiver position, it doesn't stand much of a chance against Texas A&M or Mississippi State, and the difference between 10-2 or 9-3 versus 8-4 is pretty significant in terms of the bowl game this team will land in and the way Year 2 under Lane Kiffin is viewed as a whole.
This is Ole Miss' reality and the reason for it is a lack of depth caused by a lack of development among some of the younger receivers. John Rhys Plumlee still is just an occasional threat. Neither Dannis Jackson or Jadon Jackson have emerged into viable options to this point in their career. Qua Davis has been a nonfactor and it would be unfair to ask a true freshman like JJ Henry to become a go-to guy immediately. Ole Miss' only viable pass-catching options are tight end Casey Kelly and Western Kentucky transfer Jahcour Peason. And credit to Pearson for stepping up Saturday night. He caught 7 passes for 135 yards and did the best he could as the No. 1 option when there was no other option — but if he is the Rebels' No. 1 receiver for any extended period of time, then this offense is in trouble. It's not a knock on Pearson, it is simply the reality of the situation.
Sanders dressed on Saturday night but didn't factor into the game. He's missed essentially 2 1/2 games due to a hamstring injury he suffered early in the Tennessee game. Ole Miss needs him back, whenever that time is. Kiffin noted that Sanders went thru warm ups prior to the Auburn game, but did not feel comfortable cutting off both legs.
"Braylon tried to go," Kiffin said. "But watching him and talking to him, he said 'well, I can go off this leg, but I can't off this one' and I said we aren't going to do that. It was a very tough decision and we had to go with some guys that haven't played a lot."
He has 4 games remaining in his college career and one can't help but wonder when the sense of urgency that accompanies the clock ticking on a career will kick in with Sanders. I imagine Drummond will return at some point this season and Mingo's status doesn't seem promising.
There's no quick fix without this trio.
"With where we are injury-wise, have we ever experienced anything like this? Not on this side of the ball that I can remember," Kiffin said. "We have tried. We have tried to push them in practice, but for whatever reason, there has been a lack of consistency. There is some talent there. But if you don't know what to do and don't know where to go, it makes it hard on the quarterback. We are going to keep pushing along, but as of today, we are in a worse position than we were before the Auburn game."
Kiffin's words are a dead giveaway that notion. Ole Miss simply doesn't have the reinforcements to survive without one or more of Mingo, Drummond and Sanders on the field. They could get by against Liberty, but certainly won't against Texas A&M, which makes how the 3 are handled over the next week in terms of what role they play on Saturday, if any, fascinating to watch play out.
Ole Miss needs to get healthier everywhere on offense, but its health at the receiver position will define this next month perhaps more so than anywhere else.

The aim of this study was to determine changes in behaviour among patients with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) by different informants during treatment in the clinical setting.
Seventy-nine patients with ADHD were recruited. They completed 12-months of treatment with oral short-acting methylphenidate, two-to-three times per day, at a dose of 0.3-1.0 mg/kg. Among the 79 patients (mean age, 9.1±1.9 years), 39 were classified as the ADHD-C/H type (hyperactive-impulsive type and combined type) and 40 as the ADHD-I type (inattentive type). At baseline, and after 12 months, their behaviour was assessed using the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL), Teacher's Report Form (TRF), ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD-RS), and Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S).
Patients classified as the ADHD-C/H type had higher scores on three CBCL subscales, on the ADHD-RS and CGI-S compared to the ADHD-I type patients. After 12-months of treatment, for all patients, there were significant improvements in the four subscales of the TRF as well as the ADHD-RS and CGI-S scores, but not on the CBCL. In addition, the patients with the ADHD-C/H type had greater improvements on the four subscales of the TRF after treatment. However, there were no differences noted on the CBCL, ADHD-RS and CGI-S.
The results of this study showed that during treatment, in the clinical setting, there are different assessments of behaviour symptoms, associated with ADHD, reported by different informants. Assessments of behaviour profiles from multiple informants are crucial for establishing a fuller picture of patients with ADHD.
Keywords: ADHD, Behaviour, Clinician, Longitudinal, Parents, Teacher
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood and adolescent psychiatric diagnosis, with a reported prevalence of over 5% among school-age children worldwide1 and 7.5% in Taiwan.2 The core symptoms include: inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.3 Aside from these behaviours, there are symptoms characterized by increased rates of emotional dysregulation, disruptive behaviour and social problems.4-6 Such behavioural problems commonly lead to a negative impact on inter-personal relationships, family function and quality of life, among affected individuals.7 Thus, it is important to identify the behaviour profiles of patients with ADHD receiving treatment in the clinical setting.
The behavioural symptoms associated with ADHD may vary across different settings, such as in the home, at school or in a hospital.8 Some researchers have examined the concordance of parent and teacher ratings of symptoms associated with ADHD. For example, it had been reported that parent-teacher agreement for ADHD symptoms is low; this finding may indicated that ADHD symptoms are situation specific.9,10 In addition, Tripp et al.11 suggested that the teacher's report outperforms parental report with regard to the sensitivity and specificity for the accuracy of the ADHD differential diagnosis. Therefore, to obtain a more complete assessment of patients with ADHD, data gathering from multiple informants is essential for both clinicians and researchers.8,12 Nevertheless, there has been no prior study comparing the differences in the assessments of symptoms associated with ADHD observed by the patients' parents, teachers and clinicians.
Numerous rating scales are available for measuring the behavioural symptoms associated with ADHD in different settings. Some narrowband scales target the information from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV)-oriented ADHD-symptoms, such as the ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD-RS) or the Disruptive Behavior Rating Scale (DBRS).13 By contrast, broadband scales measure a variety of behavioural problems, such as the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL), or the Teacher's Report Form (TRF).14 Generally, compared to narrowband scales, broadband scales are better for establishing a more complete assessment of the changes in behavioural symptoms associated with ADHD among patients. However, research on the use of the CBCL and the TRF to investigate the changes in the behaviour profiles of patients with ADHD, during long-term treatment, remains scarce.15
Based on the current DSM-IV, ADHD is categorized into three subtypes according to the predominant clinical manifestations; these are inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive and combined types. Prior cross-sectional studies that have investigated differences in behaviour profiles among ADHD subtypes have generally indicated that among patients with ADHD, those with the inattentive subtype generally display high rates of problems with attention and social passivity.16,17 By contrast, the hyperactive-impulsive and combined types show more aggressive behaviour and emotional problems.17,18 During treatment in the clinical setting, reports of distinct behavioural changes observed among ADHD subtypes remain controversial.19-22
The aim of the present study was to determine whether the assessment of changes in behavioural symptoms varied among different informants after 12-months of treatment in a clinical setting and to compare the changes in behavioural symptoms among the ADHD subtypes.
The hospital's Institutional Review Board at Chang Gung Children's Hospital, Taiwan approved the study and the patients' parents provided informed consent. Eligible patients with ADHD at the Out-patient Department of Child Psychiatry, at Chang Gung Children's Hospital, Taiwan were recruited for this study if they: 1) were between 6 and 16 years of age, 2) and were clinically diagnosed with ADHD. Two senior child psychiatrists diagnosed the ADHD and co-morbidities (including learning disorders, tic disorders and oppositional defiant disorder) based on DSM-IV criteria.3 Subjects with ADHD were classified into three types: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive and combined. 3) The subjects were newly diagnosed with ADHD or had an existing diagnosis but had not taken medication for ADHD in the last six months or more.
Patients were excluded if they 1) had a history of co-morbid pervasive developmental disorders, mental retardation, conduct disorder, bipolar disorder, psychosis, epilepsy, or brain injury. 2) In addition, if patients required additional behavioural therapy or family therapy other than usual practice at Out-Patient Department of Child Psychiatry.
Study procedure
Patients with ADHD were prescribed short-acting oral methylphenidate two-to-three times per day at a dose of 0.3-1.0 mg/kg, based on the severity of their clinical symptoms and their age, height and body weight. Patient care was performed per their usual practice at the Out-Patient Department of Child Psychiatry, but concomitant medications were not permitted. The behaviour profiles of the patients with ADHD were assessed using the CBCL, TRF, ADHD-RS, and Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S). At baseline (pre-treatment), a clinician administered the ADHD-RS and CGI-S to the patients and their caregivers. Each patient's major caregiver and teacher were asked to fill out the CBCL and the TRF, respectively. To investigate the patients' broadband changes in behavioural symptoms, the same assessments were repeated at 12 months from baseline.
The CBCL and TRF were completed by children's parents/caregivers and teachers, respectively. They evaluated the social and behavioural competence of the children over the last six months.14 Both the CBCL and TRF consisted of 113 items. A three-point Likert scale was used to assess behavioural/emotional problems at home and at school. Both contained eight narrowband syndromes (i.e., Withdrawn, Anxious/Depressed, Somatic Complaints, Social Problems, Thought Problems, Attention Problems, Aggressive Behaviour, and Delinquency) and two broadband syndromes (i.e., Internalizing Problems and Externalizing Problems). A T-score of 50 in each subscale indicated average functioning in reference to the other children of the same age and gender. The Chinese versions of these two tests have been shown to have good reliability and validity.23,24
The ADHD-RS was used, a validated instrument, whereby clinicians assigned ratings based on the information from parent(s) and the child.25 It had an 18-item checklist derived from 18 criteria outlined in the DSM-IV for the diagnosis of ADHD. Each of the items used a 4-point Likert scale of 0 to 3 points. The instrument provided a total score (the sum of all 18 items) that could also be divided into inattentive (odd numbered items) and hyperactive/impulsive subscales (even numbered items). Higher scores indicated a greater severity of ADHD. The scale had good inter-rater reliability.26
The CGI-S, which was rated by clinicians, consisted of only one item that assessed severity; a Likert scale of up to seven was used, ranking 1 as normal (not ill) and seven as extremely ill.27
Data were analyzed using the statistical software package SPSS, version 16. Variables are presented as either the mean (±standard deviation) or frequency (%). A two-tailed p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Categorical variables among ADHD subtypes at baseline were compared using the Chi-Square Test or Fisher's Exact Test, as appropriate. The Student's t-test was used to compare the continuous variables. To reduce type I errors, Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) was used as the primary analytic strategy. To examine changes of behaviour profiles after 12 months of treatment, the dependent variables were set as scores on the CBCL, TRF, ADHD-RS, and CGI-S. Controlling for age, gender and co-morbidities, the effects of different behaviour profiles associated with ADHD subtype, time, and the interaction of ADHD subtype by time were investigated.
From the 108 ADHD patients initially recruited, 79 (64 boys and 15 girls; mean age, 9.1±1.9 years) remained in the study at 12 months. Among the 79 patients with ADHD, 40 were the inattentive type (ADHD-I type), 5 the hyperactive-impulsive type and 34 combined type. Due to the small number of patients with the hyperactive-impulsive type, they were added to the combined type patients into an ADHD-C/H type for further analyses. The age, gender and co-morbidities of patients with different ADHD subtypes are shown in Table 1.
The behaviour profiles on the CBCL of patients with ADHD at baseline and after 12 months are shown in Table 2. Patients with the ADHD-C/H type had higher scores on the CBCL subscales of Aggressive Behaviour (p=0.002), Delinquency (p<0.001), and Externalizing Problems (p=0.002) than patients with the ADHD-I type. There were no significant changes in the scores on all CBCL subscales after 12-months of treatment. There were no effects noted for the interaction of ADHD subtype by time on all CBCL subscales.
The behaviour profiles on the TRF for the patients with ADHD at baseline and after 12 months are shown in Table 3. Scores on Internalizing Problems were significantly different among the ADHD subtypes (p=0.026). After the 12-months of treatment, there were significant improvements on the TRF subscales of Social Problems (p=0.023), Attention Problems (p=0.003), Aggressive Behaviour (p=0.047), and Externalizing Problems (p=0.017). In addition, there were significant effects on the interaction of ADHD subtype by time on Somatic Complaints (p=0.027), Social Problems (p=0.036), Aggressive Behaviour (p=0.032), and Delinquency (p=0.047).
The ADHD-RS and CGI-S scores for the patients wit ADHD at baseline and after 12 months are shown in Table 4. Patients with the ADHD-C/H type had higher scores for inattentive (p=0.013) and hyperactive-impulsive (p<0.001) subscales on the ADHD-RS and in CGI-S (p=0.002) than patients with the ADHD-I type. After the 12-months of treatment, scores on the inattentive (p<0.001) and hyperactive-impulsive (p<0.001) subscales of the ADHD-RS and CGI-S (p<0.001) were all significantly decreased. There were no effects noted on the interaction of ADHD subtype by time.
From the perspective of patient caregivers, the behavioural symptoms of patients with ADHD at home, as measured by the CBCL, did not improve after 12 months of treatment. Among the ADHD subtypes, there were disparities in some of the CBCL dimensions that represent disruptive and externalization of behaviour. However, the interaction of the ADHD subtype by time of treatment had no effects. Previous international studies indicated that patients with the ADHD-combined type have greater severity on many of the CBCL subscales compared to patients with the ADHD-inattentive type.28,29 The findings of the current study are generally consistent with prior reports. However, previous research that used DSM-oriented ADHD-symptom rating scales for outcome measurements have demonstrated significant improvements in the parent-rated behavioural symptoms.21,30 Changes in the DSM-oriented ADHD-symptoms were reported not to be significantly different among ADHD subtypes after treatment.31 The CBCL, which is a major assessment tool used in the current study, covers a broad range of behavioural syndromes, it not only targets the DSM-oriented ADHD core symptoms. The discrepancy in measurement tools may explain some of the inconsistent findings among studies. Furthermore, most of the patients in this study were lower grade students in elementary school, with home time after school in the afternoon. This may explain the difference in report of changes in behaviour between parents and teachers.
The teachers reported that the severity of Social Problems, Attention Problems, Aggressive Behaviour, and Externalizing Problems significantly decreased after 12 months of treatment. Previous studies that focused on the efficacy of behaviour training programs have not reported findings consistent with the results of this study.15,32 That is, teachers perceive fewer benefits with regard to the children's behavioural symptoms than did parents. It is the parents, not the teachers that take the children with ADHD to behavioural training programs. Therefore, the differences noted in the assessment of children's behavioural improvements might have been influenced by placebo effects or information bias. After a treatment mostly with medication in the current study, teachers, but not parents, perceived improvements in the children's behaviour symptoms at school. In addition, patients with the ADHD-C/H type seemed to have more improvements from treatment, as noted on many of the dimensions of the TRF, compared to patients with the ADHD-I type. Such differences were not found in the parent-rated and clinician-rated symptoms. From the point of view of teachers, Gorman et al.19 found that children with the ADHD-combined type had a greater decrease in hyperactivity and aggression behaviours than children with the ADHD-inattentive type during treatment. However, other studies that have investigated similar topics have reported conflicting findings.21,31 Whether teachers are more sensitive to detecting differences in behaviour changes among ADHD subtypes warrants further research.
With regard to clinician-rated scores, patients with the ADHD-C/H type showed more severe findings on the ADHD-RS and CGI-S compared to the patients with the ADHD-I type. After 12 months of treatment, the scores on the ADHD-RS and CGI-S significantly decreased, and the magnitude of improvement seemed to be greater than the rating given by caregivers and teachers. The ADHD-RS is an 18-item DSM-oriented ADHD-symptom rating scale that does not measure behavioural symptoms other than those given by the DSM-IV diagnosis criteria.25 Determination of the treatment effects on ADHD might be more sensitive if based on the core symptoms of ADHD. However, those who rated the scales were also the clinicians responsible for the treatment plan. These clinicians would be alert to patient improvement after treatment. Such a rating bias, therefore, may lead to false assessment of obvious improvement with regard to the symptoms associated with ADHD. In addition, clinician-rated scores commonly rely on caregivers' report or on direct observation in the clinical setting.8 Patients with the ADHD-C/H type often are more fidgety and disruptive than those of the ADHD-I type. Such observations may explain the significant differences in ADHD-RS and CGI-S among ADHD subtypes.
This study had several limitations. First, the informants used different scales and questionnaires. There are certain inherent differences in the targets of measurement, sensitivity, and validity among these scales. Moreover, this study did not include any neuropsychological instruments, such as a continuous performance test, to assess the attention function of the patients. Due to lack of a referenced criterion, the results of this study could not reveal whether patients really improved in their attention domain after treatment. Second, although the MANCOVA was used to reduce type I errors, some statistical differences may just be caused by chance fluctuation. The effects of time-related decline in behavioural symptoms may be attributed to the natural course of ADHD or to treatment the clinical setting. However, there was no control group to further define this issue in the current study. Due to concerns with regard to the ethical treatment of patients with ADHD, it is difficult to assign a comparison group without treatment. Third, depression or anxiety disorders, which are common comorbid emotional problems in children with ADHD, were not systematically screened for in this study. Furthermore, all of the patients were enrolled from a single site. In the beginning of the study, the number and reasons for excluded patients were not recorded. The distributions in gender and ADHD subtypes in the study population were not compatible with previous epidemiological studies.1,2 A selection bias, therefore, probably existed in this study and influenced the results. Forth, the treatment procedure was not standardized in this study. Although all of the patients with ADHD received medication for treatment (short-acting methylphenidate), drug adherence and the frequency of visits to the outpatient department were not systematically measured. Moreover, the engagement and attitude of caregivers towards treatment may have influenced perception regarding the children's behavioural symptoms. Lastly, most of the patients attended elementary school and their teachers may have been influenced by their ascending grade. Variations in inter-rater reliability may also have confounded the results.
In conclusion, the results of this study showed that different observers reported different changes in behavioural symptoms among patients with ADHD after 12-months of treatment in the clinical setting. Obtaining assessments of behaviour profiles from multiple informants is crucial for establishing a more complete understanding of patients with ADHD. Whether differences in behaviour reported can be explained by the assessment tools used, the perception of those doing the assessment or patient behavioural performance warrants further investigation.

वर्णन I do this lesson on the first day of our electostatics unit. Learning Goals: i) Explain how what it means for something to be positively or negatively charged; ii) Explain what "net charge" means and how to find it; iii) Explain ways in which something can become charged; iv) Explain movement of objects based on your understanding of electrostatic force The thing I like the best about this lesson is that it provides a great opportunity for differentiation. Almost all students have had some electrostatics background, and therefore have something to add in the "know" column of their notes. However, even those that tell me that they already know everything about this unit quickly discover that they still have a lot to learn.

"nanikaghar� For Children Of Sex Workers
Date of Publish - Friday, 22nd February 2019
Gauri Sawant is a trans-woman, earlier Ganesh belonging to a conservative family. After facing many hardships, with the help of Humsafar Trust, she changed herself. Her own problems and challenges give her the biggest motivation to make it easy for others. She knows what it means to struggle, survive and what it is like to really live a life.
In Kamathipura, Gauri was passing by and she saw a small girl playing with her mother's dupatta while her mother was working. What difference does it make you might think? The mother was working as a sex worker and was with a man in front of her own daughter because she did not have enough room to keep the child away. This plight disturbed Gauri and she resolved to change things.
She is creating a home for all the children of sex workers because she believes in giving them a life of dignity. She is providing them food, shelter, and also education. All the children below 18 years of age are welcome to live there. If the children grow in the shackles where the mothers work, it impacts their mental health and more often than not, girls are trapped in the same business from an early age. But Gauri wants to educate them and make them strong, independent and empowered. At the same time, she also wants them to respect the profession their mothers are into and hold a strong voice for that.
Before building the home, she had adopted a small girl Gayatri and taken care of her like her own child. Gayatri is now 17 years and it was hard for her. She had to hear comments about her mother being a transgender but Gauri nevertheless educated her well and gave the right morals.
Gauri names this house as "Nanikaghar" because there cannot be a more welcoming place than the house of a grandmother. You get all the love and care there. She is building a two storey. The land is donated but she has used all the money she won on Kaun Banega Crorepati for this amazing heart touching project of hers. The house can accommodate around 70-80 kids and will change their lives. Talking about education, they are currently planning to start with primary education and will later on introduce various vocational courses which will improve their skill set and give them more opportunities for securing a job. She has also taken care of the basic healthcare facilities in that same house.
Gauri understands that these are the children who are vulnerable and she wants to secure them, not just the present but the future as well. The kids will grow here as normal as we do, enjoy their childhood and grow up to be free minded individual.
We need people like this who believe in causing the change and making someone else's life a little better. We are sure that Gauri will succeed in this pilot project and will soon expand in various cities to ensure the children a secured and bright future.

The Day George Harrison Met Pattie Boyd
When George Harrison met his first wife, Pattie Boyd, and asked her to dinner, she was honest with him: She already had a boyfriend.
Boyd, a 19-year-old burgeoning model, wasn't even expecting to meet the Beatles in early 1964 after she appeared in a TV commercial for Smith's crisps that was directed by Richard Lester. A few months later, Boyd attended a casting project and unintentionally got a part in the Fab Four's debut film, A Hard Day's Night, which also happened to be directed by Lester.

Q: KNative Service unable to download Hello World image from Docker HUB I am working on a Kubernetes I deployed on my Mac using Vagrant and Vbox.
Then I installed Istio, Knative Serving, and Eventing.
I then defined a service.yaml file with the following content:
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: hello-k8s-ns

---
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: hello-k8s
  namespace: hello-k8s-ns
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - image: sasadangelo/hello-k8s

where sasadangelo/hello-k8s is a Hello World!!! docker application I built and deployed on Docker HUB. My problem is that when I try to deploy it with the kubect apply command, everything goes fine but no Pod is deployed. I see the service deployed but when I analyze it with kubect describe I see the following error message:
Revision "hello-k8s-lm6hk" failed with message: Unable to fetch image "sasadangelo/hello-k8s": failed to resolve image to digest: failed to fetch image information: Get https://index.docker.io/v2/: dial tcp 54.72.52.58:443: connect: connection refused.

It's not clear to me why it cannot download the image from Docker HUB. My Vagrant VM access to the Internet correctly and the command:
kubectl run hello-k8s --generator=run-pod/v1 --image=sasadangelo/hello-k8s:latest --port=80

works fine.
Since I am new to Knative I suspect I missing something in Knative configuration. Can anyone help?

A: According to Mario's reply, I solved configuring Docker HUB credentials.
Here the procedure.
I think KNative for some reason don't simply pull the image but it does some additional stuff (i.e. verify digest) that requests Docker HUB authentication.
According to the procedure linked, if you give the command:
kubectl create secret mysecret ...

Then you need to modify the service.yaml in this way:
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: hello-k8s-ns

---
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: hello-k8s

The Slim River railway station is a Malaysian train station stationed at the north eastern side of and named after the town of Slim River, Muallim District, Perak.

The station is owned by Keretapi Tanah Melayu and provides KTM ETS services. Built in 1903, the original station is among the oldest of the railway stations in Malaysia. In March 2007, as part of the electrified double tracking project between Rawang and Ipoh, it was rebuilt, with the old station building being retained.  At one end of this station, there is a freight yard. It was made prior to the Rawang-Ipoh Electrified Double Tracking Project.

Location and locality
The station is located exactly in Slim River town, and is accessible by road either from Federal Route 1 or Route A134 (Besout - Kuala Slim - Slim River).

The station not only serves Slim River and the surrounding areas, but also FELDA Trolak and FELDA Besout settlement areas due to their reasonably near distance between those places and this station, as well as Ulu Bernam estates. Slim River Vocational College and Trolak campus of MARA Junior Science College also located near here.

Review: Fox Tea Club originally reached out to me a while back. I liked the branding, and I am always happy to try smaller brands. You never know what you might find! I asked them to send me some of their top blends and this was one of them.
When I opened the package of the blend, I was able to see dark brown leaves with a sprinkling of small sugared snowflakes, cocoa bean pieces, and dark red goji berries. It had a great warm and earthy, chocolate smell.
The liquor was a dark amber colour with red undertones after steeping. Both the wet blend and the liquor had earthier notes and actually reminded me more of coffee or mocha. As I sipped on the hot liquor, there was a nice chocolate smell that wafted into my nose as I lifted the cup up to my mouth. It tasted like chocolate but there was some mild bitterness and lingering earthy notes with a hint of sweetness.
I normally have a habit of letting blends cool so the flavours have more time to meld together. However, I found that with this blend, that only brought out more astringency at the start of the sip, making it taste more like bitter chocolate.
Also, note that the ratios for this tea are 1.5 teaspoons to 16 oz of water. Overall, I liked that this one actually had a good "chocolate taste." I would suggest drinking this warm for people who enjoy a sweeter blend or letting it cool for more bitterness. This also might be good as a latte (3.5/5 rating).
The question of the day: Do you like chocolate blends?
