📜Syria Shudders as Assad’s Prison Atrocities Come Into the Light
🎯با آشکار شدن جنایات اسد در زندان مردم سوریه لرزه به اندامشان می افتد
❌People came by the thousands the day after the rebels arrived in Damascus, racing down the once desolate stretch of road, up a jagged footpath cut into the limestone hillside and through the towering metal gates of Syria’s most notorious prison.
🎯هزاران نفر یک روز پس از ورود شورشیان به دمشق آمدند و مسیر ی از جاده که زمانی متروکه بود را پیمودند ، و از مسیری ناهموار در دامنه تپه آهکی بالا رفتند و وارد دروازه های فلزی سر به فلک کشیده بدنام ترین زندان سوریه شدند
❌They flooded the halls lined with cells, searching for loved ones who had disappeared into the black hole of torture prisons under Bashar al-Assad’s government.
🎯آنها به سالن‌های پر از سلول‌ها سرازیر شدند و به دنبال عزیزانی بودند که در سیاه‌چاله زندا ن و شکنجه گاه تحت حکومت بشار اسد ناپدید شده بودند.
❌Some tore through the offices of the prison, Sednaya , looking for maps of the building and prisoner logs.
🎯برخی دفاتر زندان سدنایا را تخریب کردند و به دنبال نقشه های ساختمان و سیاهه های مربوط به زندانیان بودند.
❌One woman shoved a photograph of her missing son toward others walking by, hoping someone had found him. “Do you recognize him?” she pleaded. “Please, please, did you see him?”
🎯یک زن عکسی از پسر گمشده خود را به دیگرانی که در حال عبور بودند نشان داد، به این امید که کسی او را پیدا کرده باشد. با التماس گفت: "آیا او را می شناسید؟" "لطفا، لطفا، او را دیدید ؟"
❌In the entrance hall of one section, dozens of men with sledgehammers and pickaxes tore up the floors, convinced there were secret cells with more prisoners deep underground.
🎯در راهروی ورودی یک بخش، ده ها مرد با پتک و کلنگ طبقات را تخریب کردند و مطمئن بودند که سلول های مخفی با تعداد بیشتری زندانی در اعماق زمین وجود دارد.

📜The implication was that the ganzfeld method had revealed real evidence for telepathy. But there was a crucial flaw in this argument — one routinely overlooked in more conventional areas of science. Just because chance had been ruled out as an explanation did not prove telepathy must exist; there were many other ways of getting positive results. These ranged from 'sensory leakage' — where clues about the pictures accidentally reach the receiver — to outright fraud.

‘If you wee yourself, you just rock on’: is incontinence inevitable for women who lift heavy?
One study found athletes were three times as likely to leak as women who did little or no exercise. But why does this happen – and can you prevent it?
