Recently we have been working on some big improvements to WPVulnDB, which you will see being released over the next few weeks. Below is a list of the improvements which will impact users the most.
Paid API Usage
Important note: This does not affect the WPScan CLI tool.
We have been giving away unlimited free access for non-commercial use to the WPVulnDB API since 2014. Initially WPVulnDB was created to mostly serve the WPScan CLI tool, but it has since become a full project in its own right. Our APIs are widely used by many individuals and companies around the world. To give an example of API usage, on Friday 28th June, we served 732,000 API requests. That’s 8.5 per second, every second, for 24 hours.
To help fund the growing project costs we rely on the money generated charging for commercial use of the WPVulnDB API. As we give free users and commercial users the exact same API access, data and endpoints, it is almost impossible to enforce. We simply do not know if an API request is a commercial one or not. We rely on individual businesses’ good will, to inform us that they are using our API commercially. And many businesses have done this, but we suspect that there are many more who simply do not tell us, or may not even know that they are required to pay for commercial use.
Shortly we will be introducing paid API usage for anyone wanting to make more than
100 50 daily API requests. Paid API usage will cost €25 per month and will be limited to up to 2000 250 daily requests. And anyone who needs more than 2000 250 requests per day, will be assessed on an individual basis, much like our current commercial users.
So to break it down, these will be the new API usage limits:
- Free usage:
10050 requests per day limit
- Paid usage:
2000250 requests per day limit for €25 per month
- Enterprise usage: Anything more than
2000250 requests per day, charged on a case by case basis
(All of our current commercial API users will be classed as enterprise users)
We hope that this will allow most users to use our API free of charge, but will also generate some income for the project to be able to make it a little more sustainable for the future, and further increase the amount of data and the quality of data that we provide.
Latest vulnerabilities API endpoint for paid users
Having API endpoints where users can access the latest WordPress, Plugin and Theme vulnerabilities has been a feature that has been requested a lot from our users.
Shortly we will be releasing these new API endpoints for paid users:
Proof of Concepts (PoC)
We try to provide a Proof of Concept (PoC) with our vulnerabilities wherever possible and with time permitting. We wanted to be able to release a vulnerability’s advisory, but delay the release of the PoC, to allow users the time to update. The PoC is very useful for those wanting to create Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules, or for researchers to fully understand the vulnerability at a granular level.
Shortly we will be releasing new functionality that will allow us to automatically control when the PoC is displayed. By default the PoC will not be displayed until 2 weeks after the vulnerability is published on WPVulnDB. But this will be configurable as not all vulnerabilities are the same, we may want to delay releasing the PoC further on some more severe vulnerabilities.
We believe the changes to displaying the PoC on wpvulndb.com will further protect WordPress users, while also not shying away from releasing the full technical details.
RIPS is truly an incredible commercial PHP Static Code Analysis tool, which has great support for finding WordPress plugin vulnerabilities. RIPS use their scanner to continuously scan the plugins on the WordPress plugin repository, and assigns each plugin with a code risk based on the scanner’s findings. The code risk is supposed to give an idea of how risky some parts of the plugin’s code base may be. You can find RIPS’ own detailed description here.
Shortly we will be displaying the CodeRisk badge on each of the WPVulnDB’s individual plugin’s pages.
The badge looks like this:
If you are a WordPress plugin developer, RIPS will supply you with their scan reports free of charge, if your plugin is more than one month old and below 200k Lines of Code. This is a very valuable resource, for free!
Vulnerability Disclosure Policy
We removed our Vulnerability Disclosure Policy text from our website as it wasn’t seeing much use, but we are planning on updating our policy and putting it back on the wpvulndb.com website soon, to be transparent on how we handle vulnerabilities within the database.
Apart from the above changes that will be noticeable to end users, we’ve also made many changes to our backend, which will make it easier for us to manage vulnerabilities in the future. The code that generates the API output will be optimised, to make API requests faster and more efficient. And there will be some slight styling changes here and there across WPVulnDB.
We hope these up and coming changes will make our service better for our users and make it easier for us to manage.
That’s it for now!
Oh, and don’t forget that we will be deprecating APIv2 on October 1st 2019!


A major boost in the effectiveness of a material that transforms waste heat into electricity could significantly boost energy efficiency in anything from air conditioners to car engines. It is the first major improvement in such “thermoelectric” materials in 50 years, say researchers.
Thermoelectric materials can also work in reverse to convert electricity into differences in temperature, allowing cooling without pipes, pumps or coolants.
Since the 1950s, engineers have used a semiconductor alloy called bismuth antimony telluride in niche applications, such as solid state cooling for precision medical equipment. But although it is the best material around for the job, the alloy is far from efficient. The new efficiency boost could see thermoelectric materials used in many more areas.
Rip it up and start again
The dramatic 40% boost is relatively simple to achieve. Grinding bismuth antimony telluride into fine particles and then pressing it back together again using heat transforms its thermoelectric properties, according to researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Boston College, both Boston, US.
Sticking the nanoscale particles back together increased the alloy’s peak figure of merit, a term used to measure metals’ relative thermodynamic performance, by 40% from 1.0 to 1.4.
The researchers say the jump happens because the reincarnated alloy has a finer-grained crystalline structure. The new structure offers greater resistance to the quantum vibrations called phonons that transport heat within solids, making it a better thermal insulator.
This is crucial because thermoelectric materials work by maintaining differences in temperature while letting electricity flow freely. If less of the incoming heat can escape through heat conduction, more will be used to drive electrons, and the material will be more efficient.
For phonons carrying heat, having more crystal grains to cross “is like the difference between running the 100-metre dash and running the same distance with hurdles every 10 metres,” says study author Zhifeng Ren.
Prior, unsuccessful, attempts to shrink the crystal structure of thermoelectric alloys tried to build the new materials from scratch, layer by layer, in an expensive method called thin-film deposition.
“That’s more like artists making fine art,” Ren says. “Our [process] is like a copy machine, making much larger quantities much faster.”
One promising application for the improved material is transforming waste heat from car engines into electricity to help power the vehicles. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has set a goal of demonstrating a 10% increase in vehicle fuel economy through waste heat capture by 2014, according to John Fairbanks of the DOE.
No commercially available vehicle uses the technology today, but tests by car manufacturers including BMW suggest a 6-8% fuel efficiency increase is possible, Fairbanks says.
“Adding a 40% efficiency increase in thermoelectrics to that might meet that target,” Jeff Snyder, of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, US, says.
The same approach could harvest human body heat to power medical implants although designing less power hungry devices is important too, Snyder notes.
Alternatively the improved alloy could be used in reverse for solid state cooling, without bulky pipes of gas or liquid coolant, in new areas. “We’re not yet at the point where we will see air conditioning systems or large refrigerators with solid state cooling, but it’s a significant advance,” says Snyder.

The Oconee County Planning Commission on Monday approved, in 5 to 3 votes, a rezone request for a commercial development at the front of the massive Parkside residential development on Hog Mountain Road that will include self storage units and small shops.
The shops, Abe Abouhamdan, representing the Parkside developer, said will be tailored to patrons of adjoining Oconee Veterans Park and are likely to include an ice cream parlor, coffee shops, small restaurants, and speciality shops.
As part of the development, owner Mark Jennings has agreed to build a second entrance for Oconee Veterans Park that will direct traffic through the commercial development.
Four persons spoke in the public hearing, and all raised concerns about the traffic caused by the new development.
The Planning Commission, on the advice of county planning staff, set as a condition for approving the requests that Jennings build the entrance to Oconee Veterans Park before the county issues any permits for construction of the commercial center.
Abouhamdan said Jennings would commit to building only a part of Dooley Connector. The Connector will run from the commercial development to Hog Mountain Road and give park traffic access to Hog Mountain Road, though without any traffic signal.
Dooley Connector eventually will extend beyond the proposed commercial development to Dooley Boulevard, a four-lane road that is to run through Parkside from Hog Mountain Road to Mars Hill Road.
Oconee County Planning and Code Enforcement Director Guy Herring told the Planning Commission that, as a requirement of the rezone for Parkside in 2004, Dooley Boulevard will have a traffic signal where it intersects with Hog Mountain Road.
Planning Commission Discussion
Much of the rather lengthy discussion among Commission members following the public hearing resulted from concerns of Jim Jenkins about the facades of the buildings and of Gavin Jordan about the buffer between the self storage units and the adjoining properties.
|Abouhamdan And Commission|
In the end, the motion approved by the Commission stipulated that EIFS, or synthetic stucco, could be used only in accent parts of the facades and that the northern border of the development must have additional plantings or fencing.
That motion also added to the list of disallowed uses in the shopping center convenience stories and drive through restaurants.
Several Commission members did discuss the concerns about traffic raised by the speakers at the hearing.
In response to Commission Member Matt Elder, Abouhamdan said the plan is to build Dooley Extension to the end of the proposed development, “and, if possible, circle around all the way to the other entrance.”
Commission Member Chris Herring, fairly late in the discussion, said the citizens who spoke were concerned about traffic and that he shared that view. He said he was concerned in particular about the existing entrance to the park and the second entrance via Dooley Extension “being so close together.”
“At Dooley (Boulevard) and (SR) 53 there is already a signal planned for that location,” Planning and Code Enforcement Director Guy Herring said, “through the Parkside rezone.” Hog Mountain Road is SR 53.
Chris Herring, Nick Hobbs, and Stephen Goad voted against the recommendations to the Board of Commissioners that they approve the rezone and special use for the self storage units when the Board meets on Dec. 5.
Details Of Rezone Request
Jennings is asking that the county rezone 20 acres that front on Hog Mountain Road and abut the eastern side of Oconee Veterans Park currently zoned for agriculture as well as five adjoining acres cut from another parcel zoned for residential development to highway business use.
|Chris Herring, Center, Hobbs|
Four lots totaling 8.7 acres will be developed in the initial phase, with one of those lots, 5.8 acres in size, to be used for a self-storage facility consisting of 12 one- and two-story buildings.
Jennings also is asking for a special use approval to allow for the self-storage facility.
The development is being called Parkside Promenade and will include, according to the narrative submitted with the rezone request, retail shops, a pharmacy, convenience store, offices, including medical offices, restaurants, and service centers.
The submitted rezone documents specified that no fuel pumps and no drive-through restaurants will be included.
The acreage used for Parkside Promenade is the first within Parkside being developed.
According to the narrative submitted with the rezone request, construction on that first phase will begin in 2024 and take one to two years to complete.
Parkside, which consists of 500 acres and stretches from Mars Hill Road to Hog Mountain Road, will have 776 residential lots, with 269 of those lots designated for persons 55 years old and older.
Jay Sultan was the first to speak at the public hearing on Monday, and he said “I think anytime we're rezoning residential to commercial we ought to just take a hard breath. That scares me. In this case I think it makes sense.”
|Elster And Commission|
Given the size of the Parkside residential development, he said, “Trading off some of that residential development for commercial sounds like a really good idea to me.”
“I'm very concerned about the parking impact on the park itself,” he said. “As I look at the map, I don't see a lot of room for parking even with those relatively small buildings. Maybe they need fewer buildings and more area given over for parking.”
“I'm also extremely concerned about the impact on Hog Mountain Road,” he said.
Carolyn Elster told the Commission “my biggest concern is what's going to happen with (SR) 53 and how this new project will impact that.”
“My second concern is the commercialization of Veterans Park,” she said. “I think the commercialization will actually make people forget that we honor our Oconee fallen and military.”
She said she also was concerned about people “carrying all of the stuff from the restaurants over to the park” and the expense of keeping the park clean when the commercial project is built.”
Pam Hendrix said “I’m not really against. I just came here to listen and try to understand about this project. I really have a lot of questions. My main concern is the park ”
“I'm the current Regent of the Reverend John Andrew Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution,” Hendrix continued. “We take a big interest in the Oconee Veterans Memorial.”
Hendrix said she was concerned that the new entrance would become the main entrance to the park and divert traffic away from the Memorial at what currently is the only entrance to the park.
Hendrix also said that the planned new entrance “is going to dump a lot of traffic out onto Highway 53, and it's already very, very, very congested.”
Dan Magee was very direct.
“Attractive self-storage. There’s no such thing,” he said. “There’s plenty of available options for self-storage in the county.”
“This area is very, very highly congested,” Magee said. “I think we have better options for this. I ask you, please do not approve.”
Abouhamdan, in responding to the citizen comments, said “anybody could have put a big box there, but that's not the intent. We want to help that circulation. We want to invite pedestrian connectivity, and we want to keep it small scale.”
In one of the more unusual actions at a Planning Commission meeting, Jordan, who represents Bogart on the Commission, opposed a request by the Bogart City Council to change the conditions of a rezone for acreage in the Gateway Technology and Business Park.
The Council wanted to remove some language from a 2001 rezone that set development guidelines for the property. The development, without that rezone, will be controlled by covenants on the property.
Jordan said he wanted the city to sit down with an adjoining property owner to discuss development plans for the whole area before he would support the action.
Jordan’s motion to recommend to the Bogart City Council that it turn down the requests the Council had made of the Planning Commission died for lack of a second.
When Goad made a motion to approve, Jordon cast the lone negative vote.
The Planning Commission approved unanimously a request by Oconee County Commissioner Mark Thomas that a cell tower already approved for property he owns on Cedar Road in the south of the county be allowed to be 49 feet taller than originally proposed and be moved slightly on the property to maximize its reach.
The video below is on the county’s YouTube channel.
The meeting starts at 7:12 in the video.
The Parkside rezone application comes before the Commission at 10:38 in the video.
The first of four citizens to speak came to the microphone at 24:46 in the video.
Discussion among the members of the Planning Commission began at 43:49.
Discussion of the rezone request from Bogart began at 1:26:02 in the video.
Discussion of the Thomas request began at 1:38:21 in the video.

Evaluation of the Interaction of Amino Acid Infusion on 177Lu-Dotatate Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
- 116 Downloads
Background and Objective
177Lu-Dotatate is a radio-labeled analog of somatostatin used in the treatment of somatostatin receptor-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. In order to prevent nephrotoxic effects of 177Lu-Dotatate a co-infusion of amino acids (AA) is administered, resulting in a decrease in tubular renal reabsorption of 177Lu-Dotatate. This study aimed to quantify the impact of AA co-infusion on the pharmacokinetics of 177Lu-Dotatate in cancer patients and to evaluate its relationship with toxicity during the first treatment cycle (C1).
7.4 GBq of 177Lu-Dotatate was administered to 42 patients over a 30-min intravenous infusion. Infusion of AA started 2 h before and continued for 6 h after the infusion of 177Lu-Dotatate. Radioactivity–time data (n = 346) were analyzed using NONMEM® (version 7.2.0).
177Lu-Dotatate pharmacokinetics was best described by a three-compartment model with first-order elimination. AA co-infusion had a significant effect (‘fixed effect’) on 177Lu-Dotatate pharmacokinetics, with a mean value of 1.5-fold (95% confidence interval 1.03–1.97) increase in the elimination rate constant (k10) from 0.204 to 0.306 h−1, but this AA co-infusion effect was associated with a large inter-individual variability (IIV) of 104%. The individual k10 values increased during concomitant AA infusion by a factor ranging from 1.01 to 21.3 for 27 patients, whereas the opposite effect was observed in 15 patients (range 0.36–0.99) of whom seven had a k10 value lower than 0.85. This variability in AA effect contributed to the variability in 177Lu-Dotatate plasma exposure (area under the concentration–time curve from time zero to Day 15 for C1 [AUCDay15]) that correlated with lymphopenia observed at Day 15 (p = 0.004).
A substantial effect of AA co-infusion on 177Lu-Dotatate pharmacokinetics was shown but was associated with high IIV, contributing to IIV in hematological toxicity.
Compliance with ethical standards
The study was conducted in compliance with ethical standards.
Conflict of interest
Alicja Puszkiel, Mathilde Bauriaud-Mallet, Roxane Bourgeois, Lawrence Dierickx, Frédéric Courbon, and Etienne Chatelut declare that they have no conflict of interest.
No specific funding was received for either carrying out the study or preparing the manuscript.

Acting DHS Secretary: Puerto Rico situation "clearly not satisfactory"
Acting DHS Secretary Elaine Duke, who has been under fire for her Thursday comments that the situation in Puerto Rico has made for a "good news story," acknowledged Friday that the devastation on the island is "clearly... not satisfactory."
Why it matters: Duke, representing the federal government, told Puerto Rican residents "We are here, and have been here, and are helping." However, several people on the ground say the reality is very different. San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz told CNN Friday that the island is still very much in "life-saving" mode, and that people are in desperate need of more supplies.

Food is any material consumed in order to provide nutrition to an organisms. This food is generally of animal, plant or even fungal origin, and consists of necessary nutrients, including proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, or other minerals. A wide range of food is available in nature, although man has invented a wide variety of food, designed to our taste and convenience. Plants and animals have invented many varieties of food to meet the needs of man.
One of the main sources of food, which all other types of food must be derived from, are carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are found in many foods, including breads, cereals, pasta and potatoes. They are used in order to give the body energy, which it needs in order to carry on with its day-to-day functions. The main sources of carbohydrates are bread and cereals, whereas legumes and vegetables are the main sources of proteins.
Another type of food that you should consider in your diet is the fibre content. The best sources of fibre are cereals and fresh fruit and vegetables. The reason behind this is that fibre provides complex carbohydrates that can help the body to burn more calories, especially if they are taken in the form of whole grain bread. Other important sources of fibre are nuts, beans and whole grains. These food sources contain a large number of nutrients including minerals, antioxidants and vitamins, which are important for the body in its fight against diseases, as well as in providing energy for daily activities.

Kids Christmas crafts are a very fun and important part of Christmas.
Are you looking for some terrific and easy Christmas crafts for your children to make? If you said yes then click on the category below that you would like to see and you will be taken to the fabulous and festive craft ideas at Christmas Crafts Nook.
If you have any craft ideas for children that you would like to share with everyone then please contact me and I will certainly post them (with full credit going to you for your craft, of course).
I love making Christmas crafts with my kids every Christmas.
It has become a tradition that my kids love to this day (and they are all teenagers!).
How about making some awesome Christmas crafts while bonding with your children this holiday season.
Have you ever noticed that children are little bee hives of activity? They are always buzzing from one thing to another, never staying at one task for too long?
Have you ever watched the video games they play? They have cool graphics and sounds, the scenery is always changing, the characters can be changed, and the outcomes for each level are often different.
All these changes and differences keep their attention. Kids don't get bored because they never know what is going to happen next.
Kids Christmas crafts are never going to be like video games but kids can still enjoy making them. You just have to know the secret to keeping their attention while they are making crafts. Are you curious to learn what the secret is?
The secret to finding creative kids Christmas crafts is:
Creative kids crafts are very important because:
Children are proud of their artistic creations and they love to show them off. In fact, I'm sure many of you have your child's art masterpieces posted on your fridge for everyone to see.
Christmas crafts have many good benefits for kids but they can also benefit you, Mom.
"Mom, I'm bored!" How many of you have ever heard this popular statement? I'm guessing probably all of you.
I would suggest that you buy a small bin and fill it with some craft supplies like:
or anything else you can think of.
That way you will always have this handy little bin to pull out when you need to find something for your kids to do. I have one and it has been used and replenished many times over the years.
An added noted, these bins can come in very handy when your children get older and have projects to do for school.
Kids are people too (do you remember that TV show?) and they like making different kinds of Christmas decorations that can be displayed for everyone to see.
They also like making gifts to give to
loved ones at Christmas time so they need a lot of different craft
ideas to choose from and that is exactly what you'll find here. So without further ado, let's take at look at some easy kids Christmas crafts right now...
Paper comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and textures.
Rough sandpaper to soft paper towel, large rolls of paper to small origami papers, square or circle paper, any color of the rainbow paper.
offers you the chance to let your imagination and creativity run wild
because it is so versatile. It is also easy to work with and it is a
material that can easily be found in stores.
This year recycle stuff found around your home and use it to make festive recycled craft projects with your kids.
Teach your children all about recycling while creating some jolly artwork with them. Take this opportunity to show your children how to turn trash to treasure by taking some everyday household items and getting creative.
You are never too young to learn how to reuse things instead of just throwing them away. There is no better way to show kids this than through some fun activities.
Felt is a type of non-woven cloth that can be soft, rough, any shape or size, and any color of the rainbow.
It is easy to work with and inexpensive to buy. And it is the perfect material for making kids Christmas crafts.
Craft foam is a porous foam and is similar to felt in many ways. It comes in many colors, is easy to work with and also inexpensive to buy. If there is a craft that requires felt and you don't have any, then don't worry. You can substitute the felt with craft foam. And it works the other way as well - if you don't have craft foam you can substitute it with felt.
You don't have to be a master craftsman to work with wood. In fact, children are capable of making beautiful crafts using wood.
Imagine using popsicle sticks, clothes pins, wooden spoons, or scrap lumber. We are surrounded by wood every day and there are lots of ways kids can use this wood to make festive holiday crafts.
No safety goggles or saws will be needed to make these crafts either. The safety of our children is most important.
And here's a shout out to all those teachers out there. Are you doing a science unit on wood or everyday objects? You could easily incorporate these craft ideas into your lesson plans.
"Wooden" it be nice if I could only whistle! (sorry, I had to throw that play on words in).
I hope you have fun embracing the child-like glee of the holiday season with your children. It is the stuff that memories are made of. And remember to take pictures so you can document these great times!
Making crafts is lots of fun,
keeps you out of trouble too.
Naughty means gifts for none,
while nice brings gifts to you.

Operative versus non-operative treatment in complex proximal humeral fractures: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
SpringerPlus volume 4, Article number: 728 (2015)
Whether operative treatment for complex proximal humeral fractures (CPHFs) has a greater benefit over non-operative treatment remains controversial. There is no consensus on the optimal treatment in elderly patients with CPHFs. This updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aims to investigate whether operative treatment is superior to non-operative treatment in CPHFs. The authors searched RCTs in the electronic databases (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, Embase, Springer Link, Web of Knowledge, OVID and Google Scholar) from their establishment to July 2015. Researches on operative and non-operative treatment for CPHFs were selected in this meta-analysis. The quality of all studies was assessed and effective data was pooled for this meta-analysis. Outcome measurements were functional status include constant scores (CS scores) and disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand scores (DASH scores), total complication rates and healthy-related quality of life. The meta-analysis was performed with software revman 5.3. Nine articles with a total 518 patients (average age 70.93) met inclusion criteria. Patients were followed up for at least 1 year in all the studies. No statistical differences were found between operative and non-operative treatment in CS scores at 12 mo (months) [MD 1.06 95 % CI (−3.51, 5.62)] and 24 mo [MD −0.61 95 % CI (−5.87, 4.65)]. There are also no statistical differences between operative and non-operative treatment in DASH scores at 12 mo [MD −4.51 95 % CI (−13.49, 4.47)] and 24 mo [MD −7.43 95 % CI (−16.14, 1.27)]. Statistical differences were found between operative and non-operative treatment in total complication rates [RR 1.55, 95 % CI (1.24, 1.94)]. Statistical differences in EQ-5D at 24 mo [MD 0.15, 95 % CI (0.05, 0.24)] were found between operative and non-operative treatment but no statistical differences were found in ED-5D at 12 mo [MD 0.08, 95 % CI (−0.01, 0.17)], 15D at 12 mo [MD 0.02, 95 % CI (−0.68, 0.73)] and 15D at 24 mo [MD 0.02, 95 % CI (−0.07, 0.83)]. Operative treatments did not significantly improve the functional outcome and healthy-related quality of life in elderly patients. Instead, Operative treatment for CPHFs led to higher incidence of postoperative complications.
Proximal humeral fractures are common injuries that comprises 5–6 % of all adult fractures, with the incidence of 63.0/105 per year (Bengner et al. 1988; Baron et al. 1996a, b). It is the third most common fracture after hip and wrist fractures that occur in patients older than 60 years (Roux et al. 2012; Horak and Nilsson 1975; Kannus et al. 1996). The fractures are common in patients older than 60 years especially females. Nearly 85 % proximal humeral fractures are non- or minimally displaced and can be treated conservatively (Roux et al. 2012). Many patients could regain shoulder function with non-operative treatment (Yuksel et al. 2011). The remaining 15 % displaced fractures which are challenge to surgeons can be treated with operative or non-operative treatment (Kim et al. 2012; Handoll and Ollivere 2010). These fractures include 2-part fractures involving the surgical neck, 3- and 4-part fractures which all have poor outcomes and the optimal treatment is still controversial. With recent advancement in technique and implants for fracture fixation (Russo et al. 2013; Lill et al. 2013; Vundelinckx et al. 2012), operative treatment has become increasingly popular for these injuries (Karataglis et al. 2011), including internal fixation (Jost et al. 2013) and humeral head replacement (Cadet and Ahmad 2012), which increased treatment costs for this fracture. While non-operative treatment includes sling immobilization (Yuksel et al. 2011).
To date, meta-analysis comparing conservation with operative treatment for proximal humeral fractures have been available in recent years (Sun et al. 2015; Mao et al. 2014; Jia et al. 2014; Fu et al. 2014; Li et al. 2013). However, they did not improve evidence-based decision making because of lack of RCTs. Recently, several RCTs have investigated whether operative treatment may provide greater benefits than non-operative treatment (Rangan et al. 2015; Fjalestad and Hole 2014; Fjalestad et al. 2010, 2012; Boons et al. 2012; Olerud et al. 2011a, b; Zyto et al. 1997; Stableforth 1984). Whether operative treatment for CPHFs has a greater benefit over non-operative treatment remains controversial. This updated meta-analysis of RCTs aims to investigate whether operative treatment is superior to non-operative treatment in CPHFs.
The authors conducted a search of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Springer Link, Web of Knowledge, OVID and Google Scholar up to July 2015. No language restriction was made. The search strategy first used Mesh terms [“Shoulder fractures” (Mesh) OR “Proximal Humerus fractures” (Mesh) OR “Proximal Humeral Fractures” (Mesh)] and type of clinical trial (randomized controlled trial) and then a secondary free search was performed using multiple keywords (humer* and fractur* and random*) to ensure inclusion all possible studies. In addition, the reference lists of the included studies were checked for eligible studies.
Studies were considered acceptable according to the following criteria: (1) complex displaced proximal humeral fractures; (2) operative treatment vs non-operative treatment; (3) functional outcomes, complications or healthy-related quality of life were described; and (4) randomized controlled trial study design. Studies were excluded if they (1) were abstracts, letters, or meeting proceedings; (2) had repeated data; or (3) enrolled patients with multi-trauma or patients undergoing surgery for a revision, infection, or nonunion or malunion.
The eligible studies were reviewed and all appropriate data were extracted by two authors (LX, YC) independently. The extracted data included general demographic characteristics, functional outcomes, complications and healthy-related quality of life.
Study quality assessment
The risk of bias of each study was independently assessed by two authors (FD, ZGZ), in accordance with the Cochrane risk of bias tool, which defines nine aspects: (1) random sequence generation (selection bias); (2) allocation concealment (selection bias); (3) blinding of participants (performance bias); (4) blinding of treatment providers (performance bias); (5) blinding of outcome assessors (detection bias); (6) intention to treat (attrition bias); (7) selective reporting (reporting bias); (8) comparable study groups; and (9) other bias. A qualification of risk of bias, including low risk, unclear risk, or high risk, was provided. The final qualification for each study was determined by consensus among three authors (LX, YC, and DMX).
Statistical analysis was performed with revman 5.3 software (Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, UK) for outcome measures. The outcomes were function outcome (CS scores; DASH scores; ASES; OSS and SF-12), complications (total complications rates; the rate of additional surgery; infection; avascular necrosis; osteoarthritis; nerve injury; nonunion; impingement and re-displacement) and healthy-related quality of life (EQ-5D, 15D). Continuous variables and dichotomous data were analyzed with mean difference (MD) and relative risk (RR), both with 95 % confidence interval (CI), respectively. Statistical heterogeneity was assessed by the I2 statistics. Fixed-effects model was used when the heterogeneity was negligible (I2 < 50 %). Otherwise a random-effects model was adopted. To define sources of heterogeneity, subgroup analyses based on internal fixation and arthroplasty were defined during the analysis design phase. Publication bias was tested by funnel plots when possible. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Study selection and characteristics
Figure 1 illustrates the study flow. The initial search identified 190 references. After duplicate references were removed and the titles, abstracts, and contents of the full text were examined, 9 articles included 7 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis (Rangan et al. 2015; Fjalestad and Hole 2014; Fjalestad et al. 2010, 2012; Boons et al. 2012; Olerud et al. 2011a, b; Zyto et al. 1997; Stableforth 1984). Table 1 shows the general characteristics of the 9 included articles. A total of 518 patients (average age 70.93) with CPHFs were included in this study. Mean age ranged from 65.6 to 79.9. The percentage of female patients ranged from 75 to 96 %. The studies followed patients for periods of 12–60 mo, and the rate of patient follow-up ranged from 72.5–98 %.
Figure 2 shows the quality of the RCTs as independently assessed by two authors (LX, YC). Six studies were single-center studies and one study was multi-center study. five studies were judged as having used sufficient allocation concealment. Only one study used closed envelopes without reporting adequate safeguards. Only one study was reported to have blinded the outcome assessors. Six studies reported a proper intention-to-treat analysis and clearly stated interventions. The comparability of baseline characteristics was generally acceptable.
CS and DASH scores were the most commonly used to assess functional outcome of patients with displaced proximal humeral fractures. CS scores were mentioned in 6 studies and DASH scores were mentioned in two studies. No statistical differences were found between operative and non-operative treatment in CS scores at 12 mo [MD 1.06 95 % CI (−3.51, 5.62)] (Fig. 3) and 24 mo [MD −0.61 95 % CI (−5.87, 4.65)] (Fig. 4), There are no statistical differences between operative and non-operative treatment in DASH scores at 12 mo [MD −4.51 95 % CI (−13.49, 4.47)] (Fig. 5) and 24 mo (MD −7.43 95 % CI (−16.14, 1.27)] (Fig. 6), Other functional outcomes (ASES, OSS and SF-12) have no statistical differences between operative and non-operative treatment either (Table 2).
Total complications rates [RR 1.55, 95 % CI (1.24, 1.94)] have statistical differences between operative and non-operative treatment (Fig. 7). All the complication reported were summarized in Table 3. Six articles that included 497 patients provided data on the rate of additional surgery. The rate of additional surgery was significantly higher in the operative group compared with the non-operative group [RR 1.91, 95 % CI (1.06, 3.45); Table 3]. No statistical differences were seen in the rates of infection; avascular necrosis; osteoarthritis; nerve injury; nonunion; impingement or re-displacement between operative and non-operative treatment (Table 3).
Healthy-related quality of life
Only the differences in EQ-5D at 24 mo [MD 0.15, 95 % CI (0.05, 0.24)] were found between operative and non-operative treatment and no statistical differences were found in ED-5D at 12 mo [MD 0.08, 95 % CI (−0.01, 0.17)], 15D at 12 mo [MD 0.02, 95 % CI (−0.68, 0.73)] and 15D at 24 mo [MD 0.02, 95 % CI (−0.07, 0.83)] (Table 4).
Due to the high heterogeneity in the above analysis, we performed subgroup analysis in the meta-analysis based on different surgical treatments. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted by removing one study at a time. We found that no article substantially influenced the results in this analysis.
The publication bias was evaluated by a funnel plot. The funnel plot shapes showed no obvious evidence of a symmetry. The results suggested that publication bias was not evident in this meta-analysis.
According to the Neer classification (Neer 1970a, b), the decision regarding the treatment of proximal humeral fractures is dependent on whether the four anatomical segments of the proximal humeral (the humeral head, shaft, and greater and lesser tubercles) are fractured or displaced. In our paper, CPHFs mean proximal humeral fractures excluding non- or minimally displaced proximal humeral fractures. CPHFs have poor outcomes and the optimal treatment is still controversial. There are several kinds of surgical methods for patients with CPHFs, including steosynthesis, hemiarthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty (Murray et al. 2011). Whether surgical methods could help to resume the painless range of motion and good shoulder function, thereby allow for rapid return to work and previous level of activity is still unclear. We performed this updated meta-analysis concerning the comparison of operative and non-operative treatment for the CPHFs. This meta-analysis was based on 7 RCTs in 9 articles (Rangan et al. 2015; Fjalestad and Hole 2014; Fjalestad et al. 2010, 2012; Boons et al. 2012; Olerud et al. 2011a, b; Zyto et al. 1997; Stableforth 1984). In this study, we compared the efficiency and safety of surgical and conservative interventions for CPHFs in elderly patients. The results of this meta-analysis indicated that surgical intervention only improved the ED-5D at 24 mo but suffered more complications. Meanwhile, no statistical differences were observed in CS scores, DASH scores, ED-5D at 12 mo and 15D.
Function outcome was a major clinical evaluation in all studies. Various measures have been developed to assess shoulder and arm disability. The measures can contain either self-reported or performance-based assessments or a combination of both. Among all these measure, the CS score is a widely accepted functional score of shoulder joint in the world (Constant and Murley 1987; Conboy et al. 1996; Rocourt et al. 2008). No statistical difference was detected with respect to CS score in our meta-analysis. The DASH score is a measurement of upper-extremity disability and symptoms (Hudak et al. 1996). There was also no statistical difference with regard to DASH score between two groups in our findings. Other functional outcomes (ASES, OSS and SF-12) have no statistical differences between operative and non-operative treatment either. Based on these outcomes, our analysis shows that operative treatment has no significant benefit on shoulder and arm functional recovery compared to non-operative treatment.
Total complications events in operative group were more common than that in conservative group especially the postoperative complications such as penetration of implant into joint rate, metalwork problem. For patients with operative treatment, the incidence of additional surgery is higher. This higher incidence of additional surgery in operative group may be associated with surgical expertise (Namdari et al. 2012). These complications could be minimized by improved operative techniques (Owsley and Gorczyca 2008; Egol et al. 2008). All deaths mentioned in this article were unrelated with interventions, thus, no statistically differences were found between operative and non-operative treatment in mortality. Some of these complication (infection; avascular necrosis; osteoarthritis; nerve injury; nonunion; impingement or re-displacement) may occur in both operative and non-operative treatment, and no statistical differences were found between operative and non-operative treatment in these complication.
Healthy-related quality of life in patients treated with operative treatment outperformed that with conservative treatments for EQ-5D at 24 mo, while no statistical differences in ED-5D at 12 mo, 15D at 12 mo and 15D at 24 mo (Table 4). While the number of studies included is limited. Only Olerud et al. (2011a, b) reported that hemiarthroplasty can improve EQ-5D at 24 mo, so more well designed, high quality RCTs are needed. All of these results indicate that neither operative nor non-operative treatment can achieve ideal clinical results, and operative treatment might fail to show a clinical benefit compared with non-operative treatment.
Although this meta-analysis was performed with the best available evidence presently, some unavoidable weaknesses earned to be noted. First, although we used multiple search strategies and available databases to include all possible studies, publication bias may be unavoidable. Second, the number of studies included is small. More well designed, high quality RCTs are needed. Furthermore, the types of operative or non-operative treatment in studies were varied and the follow-up periods in studies ranged largely from 1 year to several years. In addition, the variety of outcome measures limits the authors’ ability to combine outcomes and make definitive conclusions.
Although some limitations were unavoidable, this study has some merits. First, the search style based on the computer and manual search ensures a complete inclusion of relevant studies. Secondly, no significant heterogeneity was observed in most variables. Last, all the studies in this meta-analysis were RCTs.
For CPHFs, current limited studies suggest that operative treatments did not significantly improve the functional outcome and healthy-related quality of life. Instead, Operative treatment for CPHFs led to higher incidence of postoperative complications. Based on the results of this meta-analysis, both treatment can achieve a similar effect on CPHFs, but operative treatment may increase the rate of total complication. Large, definitive RCTs are needed. Fortunately, such RCTs have already been designed (Launonen et al. 2012; Den Hartog et al. 2010; Handoll et al. 2009; Brorson et al. 2009).

Saddam Hussein in the 1990s and currently Bashar al-Assad -- the heads of the Baath party in Iraq and Syria -- both played the religious card. However, Baathist doctrine in Iraq and Syria is basically irreligious. The Saudis are using religion as their excuse now, labeling the recent mass executions as preserving their religion when they are actually a message to frighten their citizens into submission.
"[On] a normal day, we see massacres and a lot of airstrikes," one man said, speaking in Arabic. "What has become not normal ... is if you don't hear any attacks, if you don't hear bullets being fired, if you don't see any signs of war -- this is something we're not used to. We've become used to war."
President Barack Obama won election in 2008 promising an end to "dumb wars," and since then, he's vowed to avoid major troop commitments. Yet, even after all the fallout from recent interventions -- including, more recently, the spread of ISIS terrorism to Europe -- foreign policy hawks keep pushing Obama to send ground troops to Syria.

Here’s What You Need
4 tablespoons bacon grease or about three slices of bacon
1 pound pork shoulder or boneless ribs
1 pound Andouille Sausage sliced in medallions
1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts diced
1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs diced
3 cups Yellow Onions chopped
1 cup green onions chopped
1 to 1 1/2 cups green bell peppers chopped
1/2 to 1 cup Celery chopped
5 or 6 cloves garlic minced
3 to 4 tablespoons parsley choppped
7 cups Chicken Stock plus a little more in reserve
4 cups long grain rice uncooked
Herb and Spice Blend
2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
2 tablespoons Oregano
2 tablespoons Basil
1 tablespoon Thyme
• Kosher salt and pepper to taste
• Cayenne pepper to taste
Here’s What You Do
Prepare all your ingredients and set aside in their own small bowls: Cube all your meats; chop the veggies-you want about 5 to 6 cups all together; chop your garlic.
Mix the herb and spice blend (except the salt which you should add separately) in a bowl; set aside.
In a cast-iron Dutch oven or other heavy pot with a lid, melt the bacon grease over medium heat. Brown the cubed pork for 15 to 20 minutes, carefully scraping the brown sticky bits off the bottom as it cooks.
After about 20 minutes add the sausage and brown with the pork. Continue to scrap the bottom of the pan. Brown the pork and sausage together for about 10 minutes, rendering as much of the fat as possible.
Add the chicken to the pork and sausage in the dutch oven. Turn up the heat just a bit as the chicken will start to lose its water. Keep stirring. After 10 to 15 minutes you should have a nice batch of browned meat and some grease in the pot.
Add the veggies to the dutch oven with the meat; stir until they are mixed well with the meats. You want them to cook down and begin to caramelize. Brown for about 15 minutes, stirring as needed not to let them scorch on the bottom of the pan. After about 15 minutes add the garlic and stir until aromatic-about 2 minutes or so. Add about half of the Herb and Spice Blend and some kosher salt, stir it up good.
Now you will add the stock. Start with just about a cup or so at first and use it to deglaze the bottom. Add the parsley and about half the remaining Herb and Spice Blend-save a little to add at the end if you think you need it. Now add the remaining stock and bring to a steady simmer for 15 minutes, uncovered.
After 15 minutes add the rice, stir together and return to a full boil before reducing the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot tightly and cook on low for a total of 30 minutes. Do not uncover the pot except one time-at the 15 minute mark to stir the jambalaya completely-scrapping off the bottom so it does not scorch; replace the lid to cover tightly.
After 30 minutes (15 minutes after you stirred) taste it-it’s done if the rice is cooked. If all of the stock has not been absorbed, cook it a little more uncovered; if all the stock has been absorbed but it’s not quite cooked, add a little of the stock you reserved and cook it covered another 5 minutes or so. Keep checking like this and it will be done.
This is a Classic Jambalaya because it’s the basic pork, sausage and chicken in the cajun style. Other meats and veggies can be used but its best if most of your meat has a relatively high fat content. The quantities don’t have to be exact but should be somewhat proportional; but if there is something you like-use more, if there is something you don’t like-use less or substitute.
A flavorful and nicely colored Cajun Jambalaya is the result of the process. It does not take an extremely long time to cook a good jambalaya, but it must not be rushed. The step of browning and rendering of each meat, in a progression of fattiest to leanest, lays the foundation for the rich flavor and color you are looking for. By starting this process in bacon grease…well, you get the point. Slowly caramelizing the trinity in the meats develop even more flavor, then adding the Herbs and Spices in stages while slowly simmering the vegetables and meats in the chicken stock before adding the rice, builds an unbelievably flavorful base which the long-grain rice will absorb. Two important things about the rice: DO NOT uncover the pot once you get the rice simmering except to stir it ONCE and be careful not to overcook it..a soggy jambalaya is a sad jambalaya.
The recipe can be cut in half or doubled easily.
A heavy cast iron Dutch oven is best, but all you need is a pot that you can cover tightly big enough to hold all the ingredients. Getting all your ingredients prepped and together before you start will make this process much easier.

Automating Online Experiments: Algorithmic Creation of Online Virtual Environment
- Political Science
Dorothy W. Curtis
Many research experiments involve virtual online environments with both real online content and research interventions. These experiments are often supported by manual work on front-end code, which is laborious and prone to mistakes. The goal of my project is to develop a tool that automates this experimental process. The tool will be able to replicate real online content, generate interventions according to research design, and collect relevant information from experimental subjects. The first use case of this tool will be to create mock online web pages with real news articles content and controlled digital advertisements for examining the effect of digital advertising on the spread of misinformation, the political views of the audience, and the credibility of online news.
“I am participating in SuperUROP because I want to be more deeply involved in research, especially in interdisciplinary projects. I participated in UROPs and took various classes in algorithms, programming, and statistics. I hope to learn more about the impact of algorithmic media and advertising market on the society. I am excited about both the project, the research experience, and contributing to meta-research matters.”

This afternoon the planning application for the all-weather pitch, new main pitch and floodlights at Chorlton Meadows/Hardy Farm came to the Planning Committee. Lots of residents turned up to show their opposition to the development, even though we were expecting it to be deferred for a site visit.
At the beginning of the meeting the Chair, Cllr Tony Burns, who is supposed to be neutral as Chair of the Planning Committee, said that after representations from Chorlton's Labour councillors and Labour Candidates, the committee had decided to defer the application for a site visit. So much for political neutrality on the Planning Committee. I, along with Lib Dem councillors, Norman Lewis, Tony Bethell, Bernie Ryan and Paul Ankers, had requested a site visit weeks ago, but unsurprisingly Labour's Cllr Burns didn't see fit to mention that!
The important point is that a site visit has been agreed, which will take place in January. We now have to persuade the councillors on the committee that this application is not acceptable. We have a strong case, but that doesn't mean that the plans will necessarily be rejected. I hope that by visiting the site the committee will recognise the negative impact that the development would bring.
If you want to know more about the campaign to stop the development click here. There's also a facebook group decidated to the campaign with over 6,000 members. You can access it here.

On July 28, a collision between a white Maruti car and a multi-axle truck critically injured the Unnao rape victim and her lawyer Mahendra Singh. Two aunts of the rape victim travelling with her were killed in the crash when they were on their way home in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao district. A detailed look at the CBI FIR and the chargesheet on the accident filed later shows stark differences.
They were on their way from Unnao home to meet the rape survivor's uncle at the Raebareli jail who is serving imprisonment in another case. The two deceased persons were the wife of the man who is in prison and her sister.
Two months after the crash that led to a national hue and cry, the two vehicles stand in a desolate clearing next to the Ataura Buzurg police post barely a few kilometers from the crash site. The car lies in a mangled heap shows the ferocity of the accident. It stands next to the truck that rammed into the car with blackened registration plates.
The timing of the accident, the missing police personnel assigned for the rape survivor's security and the truck driver's attempt to hide the number plate with black grease triggered outrage that the accident was a conspiracy hatched by former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, the prime accused in the case, to eliminate the victim.
The Uttar Pradesh government had handed over the probe in the accident case to the CBI to find if the truck was commissioned by Sengar to deliberately hit the car carrying the rape survivor. After two months of a massive probe, a comparison of the CBI's First Information Report (FIR) with the chargesheet filed by the agency shows a stark contrast.
The FIR based on the complaint filed by the injured rape survivor's family said the collision was not an accident but a conspiracy to kill the victim and the deaths of two family members were murder.
However, the CBI chargesheet filed on Friday indicates that the collision was an accident and not a conspiracy. In simpler terms, CBI is now saying that MLA Kuldeep Sengar did not plot the accident to eliminate the Unnao rape survivor.
While the FIR had booked Sengar and 9 others with murder, attempt to murder, criminal conspiracy and criminal intimidation, in the chargesheet Sengar does not face murder, attempt to murder or conspiracy charges. The only charge he faces is of criminal intimidation.
Similarly Ashish Pal the driver of the truck involved in the "accident" faces no murder, attempt to murder or conspiracy charge. The CBI has charged him with provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) pertaining to rash driving and endangering human life, which attract penalty and imprisonment up to two years.
Top CBI sources said that even a detailed investigation has failed to throw up a single credible evidence to back the charge that the accident was a conspiracy hatched by Sengar against the Unnao rape survivor. CBI sources say that the evidence, eyewitness accounts, technical and forensic findings and call records analysis do not give a single lead to connect the two.
India Today TV has accessed every bit of evidence collected by the CBI and went back to the accident spot to speak to the witnesses who had provided an account of the accident to the CBI.
The accident took place at the steep Sultanpur Khera turn on the Raebareli-Kanpur Road and the crash occurred barely 10 feet away from a dhaba, a pan shop and some other shops on the Sultanpur Khera turn.
The dhaba owner witnessed the accident. Speaking to India Today TV, the owner said, "It was raining heavily that afternoon when I saw a big truck coming at high speed from the Raebareli side. It seemed the driver didn't see the sharp left turn on the road and tried to apply brakes. We heard the sound of brakes and then the truck started zigzagging on the road. The driver seemed to have lost control of the truck and was driving in the oncoming traffic lane."
He added, "The white Maruti Dzire car was coming from the Unnao side at high speed. The truck was in its lane. As the car came near the truck, the driver tried to veer left but the car shot straight into the rear right tyre of the truck. The car didn't hit the front of the truck and there was a loud noise. The truck veering to the left dragged the car along on its wheel to the left kerb of the road and came to a stop. Within seconds the driver and cleaner of the truck jumped out and fled the spot."
The pan shop owner, another CBI witness corroborates the dhaba owner's story. He said the truck was in the wrong lane but it tried to move past the oncoming car. But the evasive action was too late.
India Today TV spoke to Kamlesh Singh, UP Police Inspector, in-charge of Ataura Buzurg police station, who was the first to reach the accident site. He told India Today TV, "The victims in the car were alive. The locals had taken them out of the mangled vehicled. I got two private vehicles to immediately take the injured to a hospital in Raebareli."
He added, "It was visible that the car had hit the truck that moving in the wrong lane. Since it hit the rear tyre the suspension, axle and leaf springs of the truck had come off. There were drag marks on the road which are still visible."
To reconstruct the accident and establish whether the eyewitness accounts were credible the CBI asked CFSL Chandigarh and IIT-Delhi to provide an analysis.
Teams of experts from both CFSL and IIT-Delhi visited the accident spot and examined the two vehicles involved in the crash. Based on the field study and employing scientific models they inferred that the truck was in the wrong lane and at the time of impact it could have been moving at 50-60 kmph speed while the car was moving at 90-100 kmph speed.
By analysing phone and car records of the victims and the truck staff the CBI could establish that the accident happened at around 12.49 pm. Call records showed that the victim's lawyer had received two calls from a family member.
During cross questioning one of the family members told CBI that he made the 12.49 pm call and while he was speaking to the lawyer he heard a loud bang. He ended that call and made a second call. Someone answered the second call and informed him that there has been an accident.
The CBI assessment is that lawyer Mahendra Singh was on a phone call when the accident took place.
A relative of Mahendra Singh in Unnao, who chose to remain anonymous, told India Today TV that a relative was speaking to the lawyer when the accident happened.
The CBI also scrutinised the call records of the truck driver, cleaner and owner to establish two elements - one if someone from Sengar's side ever got in touch with them and was someone informing the truck driver about the location of the rape survivor's car. CBI sources said that on both counts the investigators drew a blank.
The next crucial task for the CBI is to establish why the truck was on the Raebareli-Unnao road on that day. The driver and the owner had stated that they had just delivered coarse sand from to a construction site at Do Sadka point in Raebareli a day before and the truck was returning on that day.
The construction site owner verified this statement. In fact the construction site owner showed India Today TV the mound of sand that was delivered and is still lying at the site. He said, "We had ordered the sand and it was delivered by Ashish Pal. We told CBI this when we were questioned."
The CBI has also secured CCTV footage form a toll plaza from where the truck had passed before reaching the accident spot.
Other evidences came from the Rathore dhaba on Rae Bareilly-Kanpur highway where the driver had turned up before he surrendered before the police.
Dhaba owner Yogendra Singh told India Today TV, "The owner of the truck after hearing about the accident came to my restaurant. I informed the cops. The police came and the owner made a call to the driver and cleaner and asked them to reach here. The duo was then apprehended."
With the accident probe failing to link Sengar with the car crash, the CBI's next big headache is the rape case in which it is struggling to disprove accused Sengar's claim that he wasn't at the scene of crime alleged by the victim.
