The document discusses and provides examples of torture techniques used by the US on detainees in the War on Terror, including at Abu Ghraib prison, Guantanamo Bay, and secret CIA black sites. These techniques include stress positions, sleep deprivation, waterboarding, and prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and loud music. The document argues that these techniques constitute torture as defined by both US and international law, and that torture is an ineffective and counterproductive interrogation method that spreads human rights abuses and recruitment for adversaries.

Medical Whistleblower Canary Notes Newsletter 38 Torture Dec. 2008 Vol...MedicalWhistleblower
What is Torture? This might seem to be a simple question but the sliding slope of mistreatment and abuse makes defining torture a complex legal issue. Torture is defined by the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (UNCAT) June 1987. Article 1 (1) in the following way:
“For the purposes of this Convention, the term "torture" means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity.”
The definition of Torture by the Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition International (TASSC) is as follows:
Rape as torture in the DRC: Sexual violence beyond the conflict zoneberat celik
'This report is about the torture of women by state
security forces in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo (DRC). It is based on a study of 34 forensic
reports prepared for individual torture survivors by
the Medical Foundation Medico-Legal Report Ser-
vice at Freedom from Torture. The recommenda-
tions that follow have been informed by the views
of Congolese women who are survivors of torture
and former clients of Freedom from Torture.
The report provides evidence of the torture of
women by state security forces in the DRC, mainly
in non-conflict contexts. It indicates the exten-
sive use of rape and other forms of sexual tor-
ture against women detained mostly for political
reasons, and the use of a variety of other torture
methods including beating, burning and psycho-
logical and environmental forms of torture. It
highlights the lack of access to justice, including
due process, and appropriate services for women
victims of torture in the DRC; as well as the impu-
nity of suspected perpetrators.'

Revisiting the Stanford Prison Experiment: a Lesson in the Power of Situation
~~~~~~~~
BY THE 1970s, psychologists had done a series of studies establishing the social power of groups. They showed, for example, that groups of strangers could persuade people to believe statements that were obviously false. Psychologists had also found that research participants were often willing to obey authority figures even when doing so violated their personal beliefs. The Yale studies by Stanley Milgram in 1963 demonstrated that a majority of ordinary citizens would continually shock an innocent man, even up to near-lethal levels, if commanded to do so by someone acting as an authority. The "authority" figure in this case was merely a high-school biology teacher who wore a lab coat and acted in an official manner. The majority of people shocked their victims over and over again despite increasingly desperate pleas to stop.
In my own work, I wanted to explore the fictional notion from William Golding's Lord of the Flies about the power of anonymity to unleash violent behavior. In one experiment from 1969, female students who were made to feel anonymous and given permission for aggression became significantly more hostile than students with their identities intact. Those and a host of other social-psychological studies were showing that human nature was more pliable than previously imagined and more responsive to situational pressures than we cared to acknowledge. In sum, these studies challenged the sacrosanct view that inner determinants of behavior--personality traits, morality, and religious upbringing--directed good people down righteous paths.
Missing from the body of social-science research at the time was the direct confrontation of good versus evil, of good people pitted against the forces inherent in bad situations. It was evident from everyday life that smart people made dumb decisions when they were engaged in mindless groupthink, as in the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion by the smart guys in President John F. Kennedy's cabinet. It was also clear that smart people surrounding President Richard M. Nixon, like Henry A. Kissinger and Robert S. McNamara, escalated the Vietnam War when they knew, and later admitted, it was not winnable. They were .

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
23. What the photos show: sexual humiliation, prisoners kept naked, hooding, beatings, stress positions, deaths, stitching of wounds. Abuses chronicled in Taguba Report on Abu Ghraib: breaking chemical lights and pouring the phosphoric liquid on detainees, pouring cold water on naked detainees, beating detainees with a broom handle and a chair, threatening male detainees with rape, allowing a military police guard to stitch the wound of a detainee who was injured after being slammed against the wall in his cell, sodomizing a detainee with a chemical light and perhaps a broom stick, using military working dogs to frighten and intimidate detainees with threats of attack, and in one instance actually biting a detainee.
24. Abuses in Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay: beatings, hypothermia, extreme heat, sleep deprivation, sexual humiliation, dogs, prolonged isolation The ordeal of Omar Khadr The ordeal of Mohamed al-Qahtani Other accounts….

28. “ Enhanced Interrogation Techniques”: Authorized for use by the CIA, many have been adopted by the military as well. Stress positions, longtime standing, hypothermia, sleep deprivation, loud music, controlled drowning aka “water-boarding” The misleading quality of these labels What do these techniques entail?
29. Longtime standing : Cornell medical study, studying Stalinist practices, reported: making a victim stand for 18 to 24 hours can produce “excruciating pain, as ankles double in size, skin becomes tense and intensely painful, blisters erupt oozing watery serum, heart rates soar, kidneys shut down, and delusions deepen.”
30. Stress positions: Cause swelling, pain, sleep deprivation. Have led to death. Often combined with beatings. Adam Hochschild: “What is a stress position? Mike Xego, a former political prisoner in South Africa, once demonstrated one for me. He bent down and clasped his hands in front of him as if they were handcuffed, and then, using a rolled-up newspaper, showed me how apartheid-era police officers would pin his elbows behind his knees with a stick, forcing him into a permanent crouch. ‘You'd be passed from one hand to another. Kicked. Tipped over,’ he explained. ‘The blood stops moving. You scream and scream and scream until there is no voice’”
31. Sleep deprivation: Darius Rejali, torture scholar: “Sleep deprivation reduces a body's tolerance for physical pain, causing deep aches first in the lower part of the body, followed by similar pains in the upper body. Sleep-deprived people are also highly suggestible (a condition not unlike drunkenness or hypnosis), making sleep deprivation ideal for inducing false confessions.” Menachem Begin (former Israeli prime minister) on his own experience of sleep deprivation in Stalinist Russia: "In the head of the interrogated prisoner, a haze begins to form. His spirit is wearied to death, his legs are unsteady, and he has one sole desire: to sleep... Anyone who has experienced this desire knows that not even hunger and thirst are comparable with it."
32. Waterboarding , as described by Malcolm Nance, a retired navy officer and counter-intelligence expert: “Waterboarding is a torture technique, period…. Waterboarding is not a simulation. Unless you have been strapped down to the board, have endured the agonizing feeling of the water overpowering your gag reflex, and then feel your throat open and allow pint after pint of water to involuntarily fill your lungs, you will not know the meaning of the word.
33. Nance, cont. “Waterboarding is a controlled drowning that, in the American model, occurs under the watch of a doctor, a psychologist, an interrogator and a trained strap-in/strap-out team. It does not simulate drowning, as the lungs are actually filling with water. There is no way to simulate that. The victim is drowning. How much the victim is to drown depends on the desired result (in the form of answers to questions shouted into the victim’s face) and the obstinacy of the subject. A team doctor watches the quantity of water that is ingested and for the physiological signs which show when the drowning effect goes from painful psychological experience, to horrific suffocating punishment to the final death spiral.”
34. Nance, cont. “Waterboarding is slow motion suffocation with enough time to contemplate the inevitability of black out and expiration –usually the person goes into hysterics on the board. For the uninitiated, it is horrifying to watch and if it goes wrong, it can lead straight to terminal hypoxia. When done right it is controlled death. Its lack of physical scarring allows the victim to recover and be threaten with its use again and again.” Used by Spanish and Italian Inquisition, Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Called “torture” by the US tribunals that judged Japanese officers following WWII. Called “torture” by the Mississippi State Supreme Court in the 1920s. Rear Adm. John D. Hutson: "Other than perhaps the rack and thumbscrews, waterboarding is the most iconic example of torture in history. It has been repudiated for centuries.”
