An author and broadcaster condemned as "sinister" yesterday an inquiry conducted by police over comments she made about homosexuals on a live radio programme.
Lynette Burrows, an author on children's rights and a family campaigner, took part in a discussion on the Victoria Derbyshire show on Radio Five Live about the new civil partnerships act.
During the programme, she said she did not believe that homosexuals should be allowed to adopt. She added that placing boys with two homosexuals for adoption was as obvious a risk as placing a girl with two heterosexual men who offered themselves as parents. "It is a risk," she said. "You would not give a small girl to two men."
A member of the public complained to the police and an officer contacted Mrs Burrows the following day to say a "homophobic incident" had been reported against her.
"I was astounded," she said. "I told her this was a free country and we are allowed to express opinions on matters of public interest. She told me it was not a crime but that she had to record these incidents.
"They were leaning on me, letting me know that the police had an interest in my views. I think it is sinister and completely unacceptable."
Scotland Yard confirmed last night that Fulham police had investigated a complaint over the radio programme.
A spokesman said it was policy for community safety units to investigate homophobic, racist and domestic incidents because these were "priority crimes".
It is standard practice for all parties to be spoken to, even if the incident is not strictly seen as a crime. "It is all about reassuring the community," said the spokesman. "We can confirm that a member of the public brought to our attention an incident which he believed to be homophobic.
"All parties have been spoken to by the police. No allegation of crime has been made. A report has been taken but is now closed."
Mrs Burrows, of Cambridge, the author of Fight For The Family, is the mother of six children and the sister of Victoria Gillick, who unsuccessfully campaigned for parents to have to consent before underage girls could be prescribed the contraceptive pill.
She said she would not allow the investigation to stop her expressing her views.
Radio Five said: "In the context of a live radio programme it sometimes happens that challenging and unpleasant opinions are expressed. Neither Victoria nor the BBC as a whole endorse any of the views of outside contributors to the phone-in debate."

“For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.” (Matthew 20:1-7)
Today’s Morsel: I knew a man once who had just gotten out of prison and he told me that he needed to find a job so that he could provide for himself. He said that each morning he got up around 4 a.m, and headed to Labor Ready so that if anyone came by looking for someone to work, that he would be there. He was labor ready. When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, man was then born for labor; it was a part of the curse inflicted on him for sin. Now he must work for his food and raiment or he doesn’t eat. Are you labor ready? The gospel needs to be preached to the whole world by the whole church. Jesus is still hiring and looking for laborers.
Sing: When He calls me, I will answer, when He calls me, I will hear. When He calls me, I will answer, I’ll be somewhere working for my Lord.
I’ll be somewhere working, I’ll be somewhere working, I’ll be somewhere working for my Lord; I’ll be somewhere working, I’ll be somewhere working, I’ll be somewhere working for my Lord.

- The latest heat pump technologies increase application range, empowering electrification and decarbonization
- Sophisticated digital platforms and smart technologies advance digitization, help optimize building performance and reach net zero goals
Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, will highlight key trends facing the HVAC industry and solutions to meet evolving customer needs at the leading trade show for HVACR professionals, the AHR Expo, Jan. 22-24, 2024. To assist contractors and business owners in navigating the upcoming year, Johnson Controls will present innovative solutions that improve efficiency, promote electrification, advance digitization and ensure compliance with refrigerant regulations.
“The critical conversations taking place at this year’s conference will focus on the major transformations in our industry, driven by the demand for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings,” said Lei Schlitz, president, Global Products, Johnson Controls. “The most significant commitment any commercial or residential property can make is to incorporate more efficient and electrified systems into their building, all digitally connected for increased insight into system performance. This is more important than ever to address the world’s most pressing challenges.”
The HVAC industry’s focus on sustainability continues to grow. The speed of this growth is driven by multiple factors, including governmental energy efficiency regulations, corporate initiatives and an increasing number of environmentally conscious consumers. In fact, according to a recent study by Johnson Controls and Forrester Consulting, one-third of respondents said they need to accelerate their efforts to meet pending net zero goals.
For homeowners, Johnson Controls offers numerous options for hybrid system including the YORK® YH5 15.2 SEER2 Single-Stage Heat Pump and Y92E 97% AFUE 2-stage furnace that allows homeowners to use the most efficient fuel source based on temperature conditions. As the primary heating and cooling source, the YH5 heat pump is optimized to meet 25C tax incentives through the IRA. During the few times a year when temperatures are too low for efficient electric heating, the Y92E furnace provides efficient backup heating and is also optimized to meet 25C eligibility requirements.
To help hyperscale data centers and improve cooling efficiency while maintaining uptime, Johnson Controls developed solutions that reduce energy consumption and total cost of ownership. Specified for the unique needs of mission-critical applications, the YORK YVAM Air-Cooled, Magnetic-Bearing Centrifugal Chiller is one of the most efficient options for data center cooling.
Electrification continues to gain momentum due to the acceleration toward decarbonization and the use of renewable energy sources. At the same time, incentives such as the IRA are making high-efficiency HVAC systems, including heat pumps, more accessible to a wider population. These factors are making it easier for contractors to talk to customers about new systems and get buy-in.
According to Schlitz, “Electrification is a critical pillar of decarbonization, and innovative heat pumps are essential to strategically electrify heating and cooling. Johnson Controls is at the forefront of evolving heat pump technology to push the limits of what is possible and reduce the use of inefficient backup sources even in the coldest climates.”
For example, Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning will soon launch a new variable refrigerant flow (VRF) cold-climate heat pump. The air365 Max Heat Pump is designed to efficiently cool and heat buildings in cold climates down to -22°F for reduced energy costs year-round.
In partnership with the DOE Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains, Johnson Controls recently announced an initiative to accelerate the production of domestic heat pump manufacturing – including cold climate air source heat pumps – by expanding three of its U.S.-based factories. Combined, these facilities will be able to produce approximately 200,000 electric heat pumps per year. This substantial volume will help drive energy affordability and energy security, while helping combat climate change and creating new jobs.
Homeowners and building managers are increasingly recognizing the advantages of integrating smart technology into building systems. In commercial buildings, operational technology (OT) systems, including chillers, BAS & Controls, video monitoring, and access control, as well as information technology (IT) systems and external sources such as weather forecasts and utilities, are seamlessly connected using Internet of Things (IoT) and secure cloud technology.
The suite of apps offered by Johnson Controls OpenBlue Enterprise Manager continuously monitors data streams, offering users informative dashboards that display system status and health. Leveraging AI, advanced analytics, digital twin technology, and insights from expert engineers, these apps provide valuable recommendations to customers to save energy, minimize costs, reduce carbon emissions, improve indoor air quality and enhance occupant comfort. The OpenBlue suite also incorporates predictive analytics and remote diagnostics, enabling system condition assessment, anticipation of service requirements, and accelerated troubleshooting. This proactive approach effectively mitigates failures, minimizes unplanned downtime, and prevents inconvenient – and costly – emergency repairs.
Verdantix, an independent industry analyst firm, recently recognized OpenBlue as a market-leading Energy Management Software. Additionally, OpenBlue’s strategic acquisitions, including FM Systems, a leading IWMS provider, further strengthen its ability to support customers on their path towards intelligent, sustainable, and healthy buildings.
The most significant phase to date of the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act, which mandates an 85% reduction in hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) gases by 2036, went into effect at the beginning of January 2024. This phase reduces HFC production by an additional 30% (40% total reduction), directing the industry to transition to low-GWP refrigerants.
While Johnson Controls is helping industry professionals adapt to the refrigerant transition through its world class technical training and educational resources (on-line and in person), the company is adding product features that make working with these new low-GWP refrigerants even safer and easier to service. For instance, YORK commercial rooftop units utilizing R-454B refrigerant will offer a new refrigerant detection system (RDS) to detect refrigerant leaks within the unit cabinet. The RDS will be required by code in certain applications and optional in others, which will help customers understand when it is required. Johnson Controls has also developed a unique and innovative RDS Calculator tool that will be available in both the product selection tool and in the Ducted Systems Solutions App.
Johnson Controls has added additional ultra-low GWP refrigerant options to its applied products. For instance, the YORK YVWH Water-to-Water Dual Variable-Speed Screw Heat Pump was the first screw heat pump in North America to use R-1234ze refrigerant. R-1234ze has an ultra- low GWP of 1, which enables the YVWH to far exceed the EPA’s refrigerant regulations that go into effect starting Jan. 1, 2025.

As fall turns to winter, it becomes more important to have a cozy home to retreat to on cold days. However, it may become challenging to preserve a respectable home within one’s budget, given the rising cost of power. Thankfully, there are many options available to reduce heating costs. Here we’ll go through five tried-and-true methods for accomplishing this objective.
Invest in Proper Insulation
Investing in proper insulation is one of the best methods to save money on heating your home. Lack of proper insulation can cause heat to escape, increasing the workload of your heating system. The insulation in your home’s walls, ceiling, and floors should be checked first. Invest in better insulating materials if the current ones are inadequate or damaged. Additionally, ensure that all cracks and openings in windows and doors are sealed. The long-term savings on heating costs from this initial expenditure can be substantial.
Schedule Regular Maintenance
Keeping up with routine maintenance on your heating system is essential to keeping it running smoothly and efficiently. System efficiency decreases with neglect, which in turn increases energy consumption and costs. Get a professional to tune up your furnace to keep it in tip-top shape. They are able to check and clean parts, change filters, and find any problems. Preventing malfunctions and maximizing efficiency can save you a lot of money throughout the life of your system if you maintain it regularly.
Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Heating Systems
An upgrade could be in order if your current heating system is somewhat old. The energy costs associated with heating your home can be greatly reduced by installing a state-of-the-art heating system. You should think about upgrading to a modern, more energy-efficient heating system. Heat pumps and radiant heating are two alternative heating methods worth looking into because of their low energy use. Despite a greater purchase price, this option will prove to be cost-effective over time.
Implement a Programmable Thermostat
You may have greater precision over the temperature in your home by using a programmable thermostat. When you’re not there or asleep, you may set the thermostat to a cooler setting, and when you need it, you can turn it up. When the weather is mild, it’s unnecessary to have the heat on, therefore this helps save electricity. Smart thermostats can optimize energy use by learning your habits and adjusting themselves accordingly. By turning down the heat when it’s not needed, the savings from using a programmable thermostat can be substantial.
Practice Energy-Efficient Habits
A significant reduction in your heating costs may also result from simple lifestyle adjustments. Keeping doors and windows closed when the heat is on, using curtains or blinds to trap heat, and dressing in layers to be warm indoors are all easy ways to reduce your heating needs. Leave the oven door open after you’re done cooking to allow the leftover heat to warm the room. You can save a lot of money in the long run by making these minor adjustments.
It is not only conceivable, but also practical, to reduce the cost of heating your home. You can keep your house toasty and warm without breaking the bank if you put money into good insulation, upgrade to energy-efficient heating systems, use a programmable thermostat, adopt energy-efficient practices, and schedule routine maintenance. Your heating costs will go down and your home will be more eco-friendly and sustainable as a result of taking these measures.

Pseudoseizures may occur as a somatoform disorder in children and adolescents as well as adults. However, few data are available about psychiatric features or outcome in pediatric patients.
Patients and Methods
We studied 34 patients (25 girls [74%]) who were evaluated by a child psychiatrist at our institution immediately after diagnosis of pseudoseizures by ictal video electroencephalogram (EEG) at ages 9 to 18 years (mean age, 14 years). Each patient had at least 1 pseudoseizure recorded by video EEG that was judged by the patient and family as typical, characterized by unresponsiveness plus limb twitching or limpness and other features, with EEG showing persistence of normal cortical background rhythms.
In addition to conversion disorder, 11 patients (32%) had mood disorders including major depression, bipolar disorder, or dysthymic disorder, usually with severe psychosocial stressors. Eight children (24%) had separation anxiety and school refusal with moderate psychosocial stressors. Two patients (6%) had brief reactive psychosis or schizophreniform disorder. A few (1-3) patients each had panic disorder, overanxious disorder, adjustment disorder, oppositional/defiant disorder, or impulse control disorder. Four patients (12%) also had personality disorders. Eleven patients (32%) had a history of sexual abuse. This was especially frequent in the subgroup with mood disorders (7 [64%] of 11 patients). Fifteen patients (44%) had severe family stressors including recent parental divorce, parental discord, or death of a close family member. Two patients (6%) had a history of physical abuse. Freedom from pseudoseizures for the preceding 9 to 55 months (mean, 30 months) was achieved for 15 (72%) of the 21 patients who could be reached for telephone follow-up. For 8 (53%) of these 15 patients, the last pseudoseizure was within 1 month of diagnosis by video EEG.
Major mood disorders and severe environmental stress, especially sexual abuse, are common among children and adolescents with pseudoseizures and should be considered in every case. A subgroup of children with separation anxiety and school refusal had less severe psychiatric problems and moderate psychosocial stressors. Clear diagnosis by video EEG, together with prompt psychiatric evaluation and treatment, may result in freedom from pseudoseizures for most children and adolescents.
PSEUDOSEIZURES, also called "psychogenic seizures," "nonepileptic seizures," or "hysterical seizures," are clinical events that resemble epileptic seizures but are not associated with abnormal cortical electrical discharges. They may occur as a somatoform disorder, with prevalence estimated at 5% of an outpatient population of adults with epilepsy.1 Pseudoseizures can also manifest in children and adolescents, occurring as early as 5 or 6 years of age.2-5 Patients with pseudoseizures may represent 15% to 22% of adult referrals to epilepsy centers,6,7 and composed 7% of pediatric patients who had video electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio, between 1989 and 1995.
Since the advent of enhanced diagnosis by prolonged video EEG monitoring, pseudoseizures have been studied in detail in adults6,8-19 and children.2-5,20-25 Most reports have focused on characteristics of the pseudoseizures for differential diagnosis from epileptic events, but some have focused on the underlying psychological factors in adults.26-34 Few data are available about the psychiatric aspects5,20,22,24 or outcome3 of pseudoseizures in children and adolescents. To explore these issues, we studied pediatric patients diagnosed as having pseudoseizures at our institution.
We identified 38 children and adolescents who had pseudoseizures diagnosed by ictal video EEG at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation between 1992 and 1996. Four patients were excluded because they were not evaluated by a child psychiatrist at our institution. The remaining 34 patients were aged 9 to 18 years (mean and median, 14 years) at the time of the evaluation. Age at onset of pseudoseizures was 8 to 18 years (mean and median, 13 years) and duration of pseudoseizures until video EEG diagnosis was 0.5 to 48 months (mean, 11.4 months; median, 4.5 months). Twenty-five patients (74%) were female and 9 were male. Pseudoseizures occurred daily in 21 patients, weekly in 10 patients, or less frequently in 3 patients. Twenty-four patients (70%) were taking antiepileptic medication at the time of diagnosis. One additional patient was taking atenolol and fludrocortisone acetate for presumed vasovagal syncope.
All patients had prolonged video EEG monitoring at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation with scalp electrodes (10-20 system) for several days after discontinuation of antiepileptic drugs. Hourly 2-minute computerized samples of interictal EEG were reviewed by an electroencephalographer, as were additional samples identified by a computerized spike detection program. Videotapes and EEGs of all recorded events were also interpreted by an electroencephalographer and archived along with interictal samples.
Each patient had at least 1 event recorded by video EEG that was judged by the patient and family as typical. Events were characterized by decreased responsiveness in all patients, plus limpness or focal or generalized limb twitching and jerking. Some patients also had eye blinking, spitting or bubbling of saliva, vocalization, or thrashing. Most patients were unable to recall ictal events after the pseudoseizure. Electroencephalograms showed persistence of normal cortical background rhythms during all recorded pseudoseizures. Events in 3 patients were induced by suggestion and saline injection,35,36 but this provocative test was subsequently abandoned and the rest of the pseudoseizures occurred spontaneously.
Thirty patients had normal interictal EEG results. Four patients (12%) had interictal epileptiform abnormalities, supporting a previously known diagnosis of epilepsy in addition to the newly diagnosed pseudoseizures. The epileptic seizures in each of these 4 patients were clearly different from the nonepileptic events, and were under good control with medication. One patient had childhood absence epilepsy that was well controlled by valproate, 1 had complex partial seizures arising from the right posterior temporoparietal area due to cortical dysplasia with rare epileptic seizures after epilepsy surgery, 1 had left motor seizures and left hemiparesis due to remote right parieto-occipital infarction, and 1 had left motor seizures in the setting of a diffuse neuronal migration disorder (double cortex syndrome). Videotapes of epileptic and nonepileptic seizures were reviewed with the parents so that they clearly understood which events required treatment with antiepileptic medication and which events required psychiatric intervention.
Once the diagnosis was confirmed by video EEG of a typical episode, results were immediately presented to the patient and family by the attending pediatric neurologist. Our strategy for disclosure of the diagnosis is similar to those described elsewhere.37 Antiepileptic medication administration was not restarted, except in the 4 patients with epilepsy as well as pseudoseizures. We reinforced the discussion with a brochure on the topic that is produced at our institution.38,39
In the 4 patients with dual diagnosis, the nonepileptic events were much more frequent than the epileptic seizures. Clarification that the daily events were psychogenic, and that the epileptic seizures were actually rare, led to reduction or simplification of antiepileptic drug therapy in each case. The 4 patients with epileptic and nonepileptic seizures were the only patients discharged from the hospital still receiving antiepileptic medication.
All patients in this series were evaluated at the time of diagnosis by a pediatric psychiatrist at our institution with extensive experience in the evaluation and treatment of pseudoseizures. Thirty patients (88%) had psychiatric evaluation by one of us (J.G.). Multiaxial psychiatric findings were codified according to the system outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV).40
Most of the patients in this series were referred from distant medical centers for diagnosis, with follow-up care continued at the home institution. Only a few of the patients had long-term outpatient psychiatric care at our institution. Twenty-one patients (62%) could be reached for telephone follow-up, 11 to 61 months (mean, 35 months) after diagnosis with video EEG. The remaining patients had moved with no available forwarding address.
Axis I DSM-IV diagnoses included conversion disorder in every case. Repression of painful thoughts or memories, along with dissociation to avoid confrontation of these concerns, seemed to be explicitly or implicitly operant in each case. In none of the children or adolescents in our series were the pseudoseizures judged to be due to malingering, factitious disorder (Munchausen syndrome), or factitious disorder by proxy.
Comorbid Axis I, II, and III DSM-IV diagnoses are listed in Table 1. Psychosocial stressors (Axis IV DSM-IV diagnoses) were rated as moderate in 18 patients and as severe in 16 patients. The most common stressors are listed in Table 2.
Overall, major mood disorders were identified in 11 patients (32%), including 9 girls and 2 boys. All but 3 of these patients with mood disorders were assessed to have severe psychosocial stressors. A history of sexual abuse was especially frequent in this subgroup (7 [64%] of 11 patients). Two of these sexually abused patients had classic findings of posttraumatic chronic stress disorder, including flashbacks to the event and other features, and both also had a personality disorder.
In contrast, the subgroup with separation anxiety and school refusal (8 patients: 6 girls, 2 boys) tended to have less severe psychosocial stressors. Only 1 patient had a history of sexual abuse, and 1 had a history of physical abuse. Associated features included overanxious disorder (2 patients), adjustment disorder (1 patient), dysthymic disorder (1 patient), histrionic personality disorder (1 patient), or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (2 patients). Several of the children had started missing school with headaches or abdominal pain, but progressed to pseudoseizures when school attendance was enforced. All of these children had been out of school for many weeks by the time pseudoseizures were diagnosed by video EEG, illustrating the high level of functional impairment and developmental disruption due to pseudoseizures.
In most patients, pseudoseizures did not immediately follow a specific psychosocial stressor but instead occurred months or years after sexual or physical abuse or against the backdrop of chronic family dysfunction. A particularly common scenario was the onset of pseudoseizures in adolescent girls following sexual abuse in early childhood. Occasionally, an immediate, more clearly apparent precipitant could be identified. For example, one patient developed pseudoseizures on the day of her sister's wedding, when the family's attention was diverted away from the patient after her recovery from recent successful epilepsy surgery. More often, however, the underlying psychosocial stressors were less clearly tied in time to the pseudoseizures and often required detailed psychiatric interviews to be uncovered.
Most of our patients did not return to our institution for long-term psychiatric care after being discharged from the hospital. Of the 21 patients who could be reached for telephone follow-up, 15 (72%) were free of pseudoseizures for the preceding 9 to 55 months (mean, 30 months) and 6 (28%) had persistent pseudoseizures. Among the 15 patients who were free of pseudoseizures, the last event was during the video EEG evaluation in 4 cases (27%) and within 1 month after diagnosis in 5 cases (33%). The remaining 6 pseudoseizure-free patients (40%) had gradual diminution in frequency of events with occasional exacerbations, and complete cessation within 2 years.
Of the 4 patients with epilepsy and pseudoseizures, 2 could be reached for follow-up and both were free of pseudoseizures. These 2 patients continued taking antiepileptic medication with good control of their epileptic seizures. Two additional patients were also taking antiepileptic medication at the time of follow-up, despite the lack of an epilepsy diagnosis at our institution. Both of these patients were free of pseudoseizures but continued taking small doses of carbamazepine or gabapentin because of the parents' conviction of an epileptic etiology.
Patient numbers were too small for meaningful analyses, but no clear trends emerged for outcome between psychiatric groups. Among patients who could be reached for follow-up, freedom from pseudoseizures was achieved for 4 of 7 patients with separation anxiety and school refusal, 5 of 6 patients with major mood disorder, 2 of 3 patients with personality disorder, 2 of 2 patients with schizophreniform disorder or brief reactive psychosis, and 3 of 4 patients with a history of sexual abuse.
It was not possible for us to relate outcome to long-term psychiatric intervention, because almost all of the patients were referred for long-term outpatient care to other psychiatric centers closer to home. During our follow-up telephone conversation with families, we learned that the extent and nature of the long-term psychiatric care varied greatly from patient to patient. This high degree of variability prevented detailed analyses in relation to outcome.
Our findings indicated that major mood disorders and severe environmental stress, including frank abuse, are common among children and adolescents with pseudoseizures, and should be considered in every case. Approximately one third of these patients had a major mood disorder and approximately one third had a history of sexual abuse, with significant overlap between the 2 groups. Forty-four percent of patients had severe family stressors including recent parental divorce, parental discord, or death of a close family member, and 2 patients suffered physical abuse by an adult relative. Three patients met the diagnostic criteria for chronic posttraumatic stress disorder.
The pseudoseizures usually did not immediately follow a specific psychological stressor but instead occurred months or years after sexual or physical abuse or against the backdrop of severe chronic family dysfunction. The relationship between stressors and pseudoseizures was rarely apparent during neurologic evaluation and history taking, and a detailed psychiatric interview was required in almost every case to uncover key etiologic precursors. Positive video EEG identification of the nonepileptic nature of the pseudoseizures led to a shift in therapy away from antiepileptic drugs, while elucidation of the psychiatric pathophysiology and diagnosis led to specific psychopharmacologic intervention, psychotherapy, and family counseling.
In additional to conversion disorder, several children and adolescents in our series had psychiatric disturbances other than mood disorders, including panic disorder, overanxious disorder, oppositional/defiant disorder, impulse control disorder, and, in 2 cases, psychosis. Although our results confirmed psychoses in only 5% of the cases, their rarity in the general population indicates that pediatric patients with pseudoseizures should be screened for these severe disorders.
Previous authors have also stressed the importance of childhood sexual abuse as a factor in pseudoseizures41-44 and somatoform disorders in general.45 However, few previous data are available concerning other psychiatric features of pseudoseizures in pediatric patients. In a study of 43 children and adolescents, Lancman et al5 described moderate depression in only 3 patients (7%), "hysteroid features" in 3 patients (7%), "obsessive-compulsive personality" in 1 patient (2%), and "psychotic personality" in 1 patient (2%). Based on these observations, Lancman et al concluded that severe psychopathology is not often seen in children with psychogenic seizures, in contrast with adults. However, their report does not detail the nature or extent of the psychiatric evaluations. The higher frequency of significant psychiatric diagnoses in our pediatric series may be due to our systematic approach, with an immediate postdiagnosis evaluation of every patient by a child psychiatrist at our institution. With this method, we uncovered significant psychiatric or psychosocial concerns in most cases.
Our series included a subgroup of children and adolescents with separation anxiety and school refusal. In several cases, the children initially missed school because of headaches or abdominal pain, then escalated to pseudoseizures when school attendance was initially enforced. Some of the children had separation anxiety related to family dysfunction, while others avoided school because of failure brought on by undiagnosed learning disabilities or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. These children benefitted from family counseling, classroom setting modifications based on results of neuropsychological assessment, and, in some cases, treatment with methylphenidate or tricyclic antidepressants for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or separation anxiety.
Among those who could be reached for follow-up, 70% of the children and adolescents in our series were free of pseudoseizures after a mean follow-up time of almost 3 years from video EEG diagnosis. These results are similar to those in a previous series from our institution,3 in which pseudoseizure-free outcomes at 1, 2, and 3 years' follow-up were significantly more frequent among 18 children and adolescents (73%, 75%, and 81%, respectively) than among 20 adults (25%, 25%, and 40%, respectively). The results from our previous3 and current series indicate that pseudoseizures are amenable to treatment in most pediatric patients.
LACK OF PROLONGED chonicity may be a positive factor for outcome of pseudoseizures in children and adolescents. In the previous series from our institution,3 the children and adolescents not only had better outcome than the adults, but also shorter mean duration of pseudoseizures until video EEG diagnosis (5.5 months vs 5.5 years). In the current pediatric series, the median duration to diagnosis was 4.5 months. Others have also noted the importance of chronicity as a predictor for outcome.28,46,47 We agree with Brunquell48 that early neuropsychiatric diagnosis and intervention are critical to prevent the behavioral pattern of pseudoseizures from becoming fully incorporated into the patient's personality and way of life.
In our series, we did not find differences in outcome with respect to pseudoseizures based on psychiatric diagnosis. Freedom from pseudoseizures was similarly frequent for patients with various psychiatric diagnoses, and for patients with or without a history of sexual abuse. However, patient numbers within diagnosis groups were too small for meaningful comparison. In contrast, Guberman28 noted a trend based on psychiatric diagnosis in a small study of adults, with freedom from pseudoseizures for 5 of 6 patients with less severe psychopathology and a history of recent emotional trauma, compared with persistence of pseudoseizures for each of 6 patients with more severe psychiatric disturbance. However, several of the adults with poor outcome also had a long history of pseudoseizures,28 so chronicity may have been a factor. To our knowledge, previous pediatric studies have not systematically explored outcome in relation to specific psychiatric diagnosis.
Twelve percent of our patients had epilepsy as well as pseudoseizures, with abnormal interictal EEGs and a clear history of 2 distinct types of events. Others have also noted a significant coincidence of epilepsy and pseudoseizures in children and adolescents.24,25 In each of our cases, the epileptic seizures were very different from the pseudoseizures, and the patients and their families were able to appreciate the distinction. Patient education was facilitated by review with the family of videotaped events recorded during the evaluation. Of the 2 patients with both epileptic and nonepileptic seizures who could be reached for follow-up, both were free of pseudoseizures and in both cases the epileptic seizures were also under good control with antiepileptic medication. A dual diagnosis of epileptic and nonepileptic seizures is more complicated than a pure diagnosis of pseudoseizures, but is not incompatible with favorable outcome.
Most of our patients did not return to our institution for formal psychiatric assessment at the time of follow-up, so we could not address the degree to which freedom from pseudoseizures paralleled recovery to a fully functioning lifestyle and resolution of other psychiatric issues. However, others have approached this question. In a case-control study from Denmark, Kristensen and Alving49 compared patients with pseudoseizures with patients with epilepsy, and found that a significantly higher percentage of the patients with pseudoseizure lived on a public disablement pension. In their study, 45% of the patients with pseudoseizure were free of events but this did not necessarily reflect full functional recovery.
In conclusion, critical tools for diagnosis and treatment of pseudoseizures include video EEG and detailed pediatric psychiatry assessment. Major mood disorders and severe psychosocial stressors, including sexual and physical abuse, are common in children and adolescents with pseudoseizures and should be sought in every case. Other psychiatric conditions also occur, but psychosis is rare. A smaller subgroup includes children with separation anxiety and school refusal who may benefit from counseling, educational assessment and intervention, and, in some cases, pharmacotherapy. Recognition that the seizures are psychogenic and not epileptic, together with identification of the relevant psychiatric and psychosocial factors, are strong therapeutic tools. Based on results from our current and previous3 studies, it seems that freedom from pseudoseizures can be achieved for most pediatric patients.

UMD screening of 'American Sniper' postponed after Muslim student group speaks out
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WJLA) – On Friday, one of the University of Maryland’s most famous graduates tweeted he was “never donating another dime” to the school after a decision not to show screenings of the movie “American Sniper.”
Former NFL quarterback and current broadcaster Boomer Esiason tweeted: “…never donating another dime to U of MD. As a 9/11/01 victim I’m deeply saddened and insulted. #ChrisKyle is a hero!”
Esiason’s tweet was part of a growing chorus of online anger directed at the university.
The group Student Entertainment Events (SEE) announced its decision not to show the film as scheduled Wednesday. On its website, SEE wrote it had decided to "postpone" screenings scheduled for May 6 and 7 "after meeting with concerned student organizations."
The day before SEE's announcement, UMD's Muslim Students Association started an online petition against the film, writing that "it only serves to fuel hatred, promote Islamophobia, and discriminate against Muslim individuals."
That petition eventually received more than 330 online signatures.
But by Friday night, an online petition asking SEE to reverse its decision and show the movie had more than 1,430 signatures.
“American Sniper” was directed by Clint Eastwood, and it was the highest-grossing film in the United States in 2014, per IMDB.com. It was also nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards.
While many praised it as a patriotic look at soldier Chris Kyle’s sacrifice for his country, others criticized it as anti-Muslim.
The decision not to screen the film as planned came less than two weeks after SEE had posted online that it would screen the film. That post, dated April 9, was in response to "social media reactions" about the decision to show the film.
Then, SEE reversed its decision in Wednesday's post.
ABC7 tried to contact SEE for comment both Thursday and Friday, but as of late Friday night still hadn’t received any response.
On Friday evening, members of the Muslim Students Association did not show up for a scheduled press conference on Route 1 near the campus.
Instead, a representative of the D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations came in their place, saying they had been “advised against speaking with the media,” but not saying who advised them.
The representative, Zainab Chaudry, did say the group had been concerned about safety issues if the film had been shown on campus without any sort of dialogue about the things it portrays.
"The concern is really to counteract the backlash that's inspired by the film,” she said. “There have been threats made against Muslims."
Some students with whom ABC7 spoke were not happy with the decision not to show the film as scheduled.
“I love this country, and the fact that they won't show it is honestly offensive,” said UMD sophomore Drew Weinberger. “This is one of the great American heroes of our time. It should be shown to everybody."
"That's kind of going against all the values of this school, and free speech," said UMD senior Grant Honecker. "That movie makes you hate war, and it shows the sacrifices Chris Kyle made for this country, and I really think it should be shown here—just to create that dialogue."
But others say they understood the decision.
"I enjoyed the movie, personally," said sophomore Justin Edelman. "But then I realized—I started to put myself in the shoes of these student groups and, considering it from their perspective, I kind of understand where they're coming from."
Although members did not speak publicly at the scheduled press conference Friday night, the day before on Facebook the Muslim Students Association wrote a post praising the decision by SEE. Part of it read: "We sincerely appreciate your commitment to exercising your freedom of speech to create an inclusive, just, and safe campus community."
The post received a lot of backlash, some of which is being called "anti-Muslim hate" by the Council on American Islamic Relations.
Many responses to the post included profanity or statements such as "no wonder Americans despise Muslims."
Others were more polite. One person wrote: "Please explain how banning a movie from campus is 'exercising your freedom of speech.'"
Another wrote: "If you actually watched the movie you would learn that your preconceptions about it being Islamophobic are not true...If you truly want to have an open dialog on these issues then let the movie be shown and discuss the issues raised in it."
A minority of the posts praised the decision. One person wrote: "Thank you SEE for being courageous against the bigotry and Islamophobia of American Sniper. We would never tolerate a movie celebrating anti-Semetic (sic) behavior, and this is no different."
The University of Maryland said in a statement it "was not involved in the decision to postpone or cancel the showing of American Sniper." The university said instead it was the decision of SEE, "a student-led organization comprised of undergraduate students who work alongside advisors."

An event called "Regional Open Day", under the project LIFE Montado-Adapt, took place at the Noudar
Nature Park on November 19. The morning was dedicated to the children, with the painting and placement, in the field, of nest boxes for the promotion of the diversity of birdlife. The afternoon was dedicated to the adults, with a program that is considerably wider, which included the presentation of the activities that are taking place in the pilot area L1, Herdade da Coitadinha
, and those planned for the coming months. A visit to the field, to know the intervention areas, served as an excuse to talk about plantations of different species, recovery of water lines, ecological corridors and recovery of biodiversity.


I had my first lesson this afternoon, and… I bent a note! I don’t know how many videos I’ve watched in my attempts to do that, but having a one-on-one session did the trick.
The first thing you have to do is learn to play single notes. I can do that, so we went straight to bending the 5-hole draw. This week I am to practice the 5-hole draw and the 4-hole draw, and if I get that down, I can attempt to bend the 3-hole draw. In addition, I am to try playing along with Blues guitar tracks. The instructor offered to make CDs, but I have some in my iTunes. (Anyway, my computer’s CD player doesn’t work.)
I asked how to keep myself from becoming bored, and the instructor said I could try bending notes on things I know how to play, such as When The Saints Go Marching In and Mannish Boy. But the notes he wants me to bend are blows. He’ll show me next week how to play Mannish Boy so that the note I need to bend is a draw. Also next week, I think we’re going to start Blues scales.


A “huge, huge opportunity” is being given to local groups in Sandhurst as a call goes out for people to take part in next year’s Sandhurst Freedom March.
The event will see cadets from the town’s Royal Military Academy march through the town to Sandhurst Memorial Ground in Yorktown Road for the main event.
The march ties in with the 200th anniversary of the academy and Councillor Dale Birch, mayor of Sandhurst, said the event presents a fantastic opportunity for the community to get together.
More than 200 cadets, a marching band and senior officers will all parade through the streets.
He said: “The response so far has been good, but we want more people in the community to come forward to make it a special community event. We’re at the stage now where we want to talk about what the groups might want to do on the day. I can’t give details on exactly what will happen but it will be a great day.
“The academy has agreed to provide a military assault course on the day which the kids absolutely love. I even had a go on it last year.”
Cllr Birch added that the fun does not stop after the march and that the event features a full day of events at the memorial park, including a range of stalls from local groups, cricket matches at Sandhurst Cricket Club, and possibly even a Strictly Come Dancing event in the evening.
The event will finish with a spectacular firework display. He added: “This is a huge, huge opportunity for people involved in local groups to get their groups out there and get their message across. We want as many people taking part as possible.” Call Sandhurst Town Council on (01252) 879 060.

An Unholy Union
BY JUSTIN OWEN
Recently, Chief Executive Magazine took a shot across the bow at Tennessee. Frequently ranked among the top states to do business, the Volunteer State dropped a slot in the magazine’s annual rankings. The reason? The state’s purported political interference with the United Auto Workers unionization effort at the Volkswagen Chattanooga plant.
According to the magazine, “state politicians shouldn’t have messed in Volkswagen’s unionization business.” Well, if the German automaker doesn’t want the state meddling in its affairs, then it should promptly return the $235 million in taxpayer handouts it received as a part of a recent corporate welfare deal. Until then, state taxpayers—and our elected officials—have every right to weigh in on the plant’s unionization front.
In fact, we could pass a law saying that no corporation should get handouts if they invite out-of-state unions into their shops even after workers rejected the union in a legally binding election. That would spell trouble for Volkswagen, which ignored the will of its workers and colluded with the UAW, allowing the radical union to bully workers into joining their ranks despite the election results. Oh, and by the way, the company still got its cake and ate it, too. It got the union and a boatload of taxpayer money. Apparently state politicians didn’t meddle enough.
If companies like Volkswagen don’t want politicians to “mess with” their union business, then they need to keep their hands out of taxpayers’ pockets.

Pilots aren’t the only ones lucky enough to fly the friendly skies. And they aren’t the only ones making sure you get to your destination safely. Behind every flight attendant’s smile, there’s someone making sure you have a smooth, safe ride. In the event of an emergency, it’s up to him or her to guide you through what may be one of the most difficult experiences of your life.
Don’t be fooled by the glamorous image of the flight attendant, though. The day-to-day reality of this career is about service. If you become a flight attendant, you’ll spend much of your time passing out food and drink and responding to passenger requests.
Flight attendants have a variety of preflight, midflight, and postflight duties. They do everything from helping passengers find their seats to demonstrating safety tips.
Because airlines operate year-round and around-the-clock, flight attendants may have to work nights, holidays, and weekends.
Confident, strong, and open to change. It’s also good to enjoy helping people and be able to stay calm under pressure.
Although flight attendants must be high school graduates or hold a GED, many airlines today prefer a college degree.

During a recent segment on “Good Morning America,” George Stephanopoulos of ABC engaged in a spirited discussion with Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley following her debate. Their dialogue focused on Haley’s remarks about the possibility of President Biden not finishing his term.
Stephanopoulos probed Haley on her willingness to back Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential race even if he could face legal consequences. Haley responded by noting that Trump’s legal situation was not yet clear and stressed her faith in the judgment of the American people. She speculated that Trump may be more engaged with legal issues than campaigning in the coming year and highlighted pressing national concerns.
Yet, when Stephanopoulos pressed her again, Haley voiced concerns about the prospect of “President Kamala Harris.” Stephanopoulos reminded Haley that she was running against Biden and not Harris. Haley countered by suggesting that supporting Biden was tantamount to supporting Harris, hinting that Biden might not complete his term.
Seeking clarity, Stephanopoulos asked for the rationale behind Haley’s statement. She responded by pointing to worries about Biden’s age and perceived cognitive challenges. Haley advocated for a new generation of leadership, taking a jab at the senior members of the Senate.
When asked for definitive proof of her assertions, Haley referred to specific events she believes showcase Biden’s cognitive challenges. She emphasized the necessity for a leader with a sharp mind due to the pivotal decisions they make for the country.

The Hawks hit the road on Friday night when they take on Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Atlanta's 113-111 loss to the Cavs back on November 30 snapped a six-game winning streak. Irving sat out the earlier meeting but is averaging 22.8 points and 5.4 assists per game for Cleveland.

The Hawks won the earlier matchup between the two teams 89-86 behind 16 points and nine rebounds from Al Horford.

ISLAMABAD: A vocal PPP MNA from Quetta Syed Nasir Ali Shah, who on Friday skipped the National Assembly’s special session, which saw Raja Pervaiz Ashraf become Prime Minister, says the sin of voting for Yusuf Raza Gilani in 2008 would haunt him as long as he is alive.
“Obviously, I never knew a party, which had suffered the martyrdom of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto will forget her philosophy of affordable provision of roti, kapra or makan to people. That was why he voted for Gilani and what he did in over four years is before 180 million people,” he retorted during chat with The News here the other day.
He made it clear that it was not at all exaggeration that he would continue to repent having cast his vote for Gilani and this very feeling barred him for repeating the same sin, when PPP and its allies voted for Raja Pervaiz.Naisr Shah is the only MNA among 124 PPP legislators, who claims to have reacted to the voice of his conscience by not attending the special assembly session.
“I can say with conviction that there are some others also who are fed up with PPP’s disastrous policies of confrontation with state institutions, but for one reason or other, just can’t defy its line,” he maintained.
When reminded that by not attending the NA session and by not casting his vote for his party’s candidate, he had violated the party policy that could cost him his seat as MNA, he showed no concern at all and said he was ready for any consequence thereof.
Nasir Shah, known for his straight discourse on the floor of the National Assembly and in media talk shows, hitting the government for its policies hard, has one of his young sons, father of two, on a wheel chair, following a suicide attack on him, that paralysed the lower part of his body. Nasir had escaped the bid despite being the real target of assailants.
He insists though during the last four years, his Hazara community suffered unprecedented wave of target-killing that has claimed hundreds of innocent lives, he is more concerned about the whole nation at the mercy of corrupt and stone-hearted rulers.
The PPP MNA cautioned the masses that they must be ready for the worst in the weeks and months to come, as Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz would have to act on the wishes of someone sitting in the President House instead of what was required of him.


This was the scene in St Ives on Saturday night after a car crashed down a bank and landed on top of another vehicle.
Police officers, paramedics and firefighters were called to Tregenna Terrace at about 10.40pm following reports of a collision.
Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service said crews helped care for one person, who was out of their vehicle. No details regarding their injuries have been released at this stage.
One witness said: "A car has through the wall at Tregenna Terrace into the private car park between the dentist and fell about 20ft."
Another described it as a "horrific accident".
In a statement, the fire service said: "At 22:42 Critical Control received a 999 call multiple request for police, fire and ambulance after a road traffic collision. The caller reported that a vehicle had left the road and fallen down a step drop into a compound and onto another car.
"One appliance from St Ives, one appliance from Hayle and the Rescue Tender from Tolvaddon were mobilised, along with a Flexi Duty Station Manager. Critical Control also made immediate contact with Police and Ambulance Control Rooms.
"On arrival fire crews were the first emergency service on scene and were urgently conducting a scene survey to ascertain whether any casualties were trapped in the vehicles, one of which had fallen approximately 20 ft onto a parked car.
"One casualty was found to be out of the vehicle and received emergency care by firefighters until the arrival of Ambulance Service. Crews made the vehicles safe using stabilisation equipment and the incident was handed over to the police."
We are awaiting further details from Devon and Cornwall Police.
