We are family of 4, living In Japan.
わたしたちは日本に住む4人家族です。
Last year, 2024, our then-4-year-old son, Makoto, was subjected to prolonged psychological abuse at his daycare center for over six months.
昨年2024年、当時4歳だった私たちの息子マコトは、保育園で6か月以上にわたり心理的虐待を受けました。

He was repeatedly isolated from his peers, denied emotional support, and left alone for long periods.
彼は何度もお友達から隔離され、気持ちを聞いてもらえることもなく、長時間一人ぼっちにされていました。

Despite our repeated pleas based on Makoto’s own words asking for help, the daycare failed to notify or contact the city government.
まことが伝えてくれた「助けて」という言葉を受けて、私たちは何度も懸念を伝えましたが、保育園は行政に相談も報告することもありませんでした。

We have obtained security camera footage and recorded conversations with the daycare principal, chief teacher, and the teacher involved—providing direct evidence of the mistreatment.
私たちは、防犯カメラの映像と、園長・主任保育士・加害保育士との録音を保有しており、これらは虐待を裏付ける直接的な証拠です。

Still, the daycare denies any wrongdoing, has hired a lawyer, and now blames Makoto himself for the isolation—despite never having raised any concerns before.
それでも保育園は非を認めず、弁護士を雇い、今になってまこと本人の行動に問題があったと責任転嫁しています。以前は一切そのような話はありませんでした。

The daycare's actions appear to violate Japan’s obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
この保育園の対応は、国連「子どもの権利条約」に基づく日本の義務に反している可能性があります。

Makoto’s lived experience is being ignored, and the system meant to protect him has utterly failed.
まことが実際に感じ、経験したことは無視され、彼を守るべき制度は完全に機能を失っています。

REASON NEVER JUSTIFIES ABUSE.
どんな理由があっても、虐待が正当化されることはありません。
ABUSE IS ABUSE.
虐待は虐待です。
CHILDREN’S HUMAN RIGHTS MATTER.
子どもの人権は、すべての社会が守るべき最優先の価値です。

If we do not raise our voices now, Makoto’s truth will be buried—and other children may continue to suffer similar silent abuse.
いま声を上げなければ、まことの真実は葬り去られ、同じように「見えない虐待」に苦しむ子どもたちがこれからも生まれてしまいます。

We are seeking accountability and systemic change, both in Japan and globally,
私たちは、日本国内だけでなく、世界全体に向けて、責任追及と制度改革を求めています。

So that, no child is ever left mentally and emotionally alone again.
子どもたちが、子どもたちの心が、もう二度と、一人ぼっちになってしまわないように。

What is the Marvel Universe Online?

What is the Marvel Universe Online? In 1979 the movie Superman made the world believe a man could fly. It made the comic book character feel alive, real for the first time. In 1998, a video game called City of Heroes made the world believe they could all fly, leap tall buildings, or run faster than a speeding bullet. It's was a game that for the first time let us be the Paragons of justice that we only read about in comics. The Marvel Universe Online hopes to put that sense of wonder back in the hands on everyone who had a taste of the life of a superhero.

Why Marvel? Marvel was built on the idea of the everyday man or woman becoming greater than they ever thought possible. No perfect alien savior's, no Amazon goddesses, no billionaire vigilantes, just ordinary people becoming the extraordinary. Sure, Marvel has those things, but at its core, it's the common man's struggling to fight the good fight against the forces of evil. Whether bitten by a radioactive insect, exposed to cosmic rays, or just discover you were born different, it's still you. The Marvel Universe Online asks the question, "What do you do now?"

The first report created from the accounts of petition signatories has now been completed. It was sent to various global authorities with a brief for drug safety and pharmacovigilance and to each person who signed the petition.

The report was written for a mixed audience of medical and non-medical people. It is 23 pages long and in PDF format. The World Health Organisation has received a copy of the report which was also published by the Journal of Independent Medical Research at the following URL:

http://www.joimr.org/JOIMR_Vol7_No1_Dec2009.pdf

The URL following this section is for clinicians and it details a letter to Therapeutics Initiative. The conclusions are clear:

Conclusions
• Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are challenging
and require much more than locating RCTs and
plugging in the numbers.
• The claimed mortality benefit of statins for primary
prevention is more likely a measure of bias than a real
effect.
• The reduction in major CHD serious adverse events
with statins as compared to placebo is not reflected in a
reduction in total serious adverse events.
• Statins do not have a proven net health benefit in
primary prevention populations and thus when used in
that setting do not represent good use of scarce health
care resources.

聲援司徒華等被檢控人士

支聯會主席司徒華因出席民間電台活動，五度被檢控，源於2007年5月25日以嘉賓身份出席民間電台在旺角行人專用區，舉行的一個要求平反「六四」論壇；2008年4月20日出席民間電台在旺角行人專用區的「開放大氣電波」論壇，要求特區政府修訂過時的《電訊條例》及向民間電台發牌；2008年5月4日出席在銅鑼灣時代廣場舉行的「從五四運動到香港爭取公共空間」論壇；2008年5月29日出席在銅鑼灣記利佐治街行人專用區舉行的「平反八九民運－－紀念『六四』十九周年」論壇；以及2008年6月30日出席在銅鑼灣記利佐治街行人專用區舉行呼籲市民出席「七一」遊行論壇。

世界上任何一個先進的城市，都有民間電台。香港作為國際大都會，應與先進國家看齊，開放頻道給予民間電台。選擇性檢控出席「民間電台」人士，是打壓言論自由。

支聯會要求特區政府立即修訂過時的《電訊條例》，撤銷所有人士的檢控並作出合理賠償，同時開放大氣電波，容許民間開辦電台。為了捍衛香港的言論自由，我們呼籲各界人士採取不同方式表達意見。

我們強烈要求：

1. 撤銷所有人士的檢控，包括：司徒華、劉慧卿、李卓人、張超雄、李永達、梁國雄、黃毓民、陳偉業、曾健成、羅堪就、陳妙德、林旭華、麥志恆、楊匡、張錦雄、李偉儀、柯華冰、曾浚瑛及潘達強；
2. 開放大氣電波，修訂過時《電訊條例》，容許民間開辦電台。

After the massacre, they grouped together and have been trying to gather information about the injured, the dead and the disappeared as evidence of crimes and violation of human rights by the Chinese government.

A friend and equine expert visited a few days ago as part of a tour of Morocco. This is an extract from what she told me and it has been verified by other witnesses.

“We were taken to see the horses which we were told had been rescued but were separate from the hotel and were being nursed back to health. Before the tour I was told they were in a poor condition and that they didn’t always allow guests to see them because they would be shocked but not to be worried as “they were in a recovery programme”.

On arrival before the doors were opened the horses heard us and called out.

The stables revealed a much different and truly horrifying scene of some 9 or 10 horses starving. Their poor bodies were just skin stretched over their bones. Bones and lumps were protruding everywhere. It was horrific. It appeared they hadn’t been groomed for ages. Their eyes were crusty and weeping. They looked frightened and had hardly any bedding down just a few tiny pieces of dry straw and what looked like patches of dirty sawdust. In summary they were soiled, matted and filthy. Their bedding was so thin it didn’t cover the stable floor. They clearly hadn’t been groomed or looked after for what seemed like years. I’m a horse owner myself and I was deeply shocked by what I saw.

They had name plaques and dates of birth at each stable and it seemed that they were the horses of Claudio Bravo, once fine Arabs.

The tack room in contrast showed tack in pristine condition, silver cups polished, winners rosettes and certificates, photos and other items all of which had clearly been very well looked after. There were pictures of them in full health showing their prizes. It was clear that these once wonderful horses were in a state of abject neglect. I guessed they were Arabian horses from their heads.

There was no feed sacks or Haynets visible anywhere and none in the stables. No turnout areas or Paddocks/ grazing in the vicinity (we looked from above up the tower) and so it was clear they hadn’t been out of their stables for a long long time. They were kept in a building with big screen doors so not visible from outside, with a opaque roof so It was bright but all enclosed.

Some displayed weaving characteristic of acute stress. Some appeared to have growths but this may have been their skeleton showing through. Some had worn marks on the outside of their stable doors as they rubbed at it. All had their skeletons showing through their skin.

The stable yard had a large horse trough empty in it and a few weeds growing round it so no horse had even grazed outside its stable. It was clear that this was a horse equivalent of a concentration camp, the poor things imprisoned and starved.

All around the estate there were people working on the land, there were staff in the hotel too but none of these were looking after the poor horses who were so thin that only expert help would assist them. There appeared to be no such support and this is as far as I am concerned neglect of the worst kind.

We were sick. We were in tears. We hated ourselves for staying in such a place and this cast a huge shadow over us. The house and gardens environment was very luxurious and yet the horses were neglected, it made no sense especially when we read that the artist himself loved his animals.

A man appeared who spoke neither French nor English. He appeared to be a labourer who was in charge. He shouted loudly and aggressively at a horse when it kicked at the door.

It was a horrific experience and we couldn’t wait to leave the place and do whatever we could to alert others to the situation.”

We must act. and ensure veterinary help. Importantly we need trucks and I’m afraid that some of the horses cannot even stand. I can’t tell you how upset I am that this is happened in a country that I love where horses are respected and the Arab horse in particular.

Instead, trees developed using newer forms of biotechnology, such as gene editing and genetic engineering, currently are banned from forests that are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), and nearly every other Sustainable Forest Management System (SFM).

The bans prevent organizations certified under FSC and PEFC from using biotech trees for any reason — even to save a species against an invasive pest. These trees may not be planted on certified lands, thereby impeding critical scientific research and limiting their ultimate use by society.

Forest certification systems are widely used to help ensure that forest management and derived goods are produced using environmentally and socially desirable methods. It is critical to base certification criteria on sound scientific principles and evidence to promote consumer confidence in certified products. A strong science foundation is also essential to ensure that certification systems do not recklessly impede research and innovation.

The introduction of the 4.90 release on Nov 13th 2018 significantly disadvantages the majority of players in Atlas.

1) Increased rate of permanent troop death
2) Removed scaling that disincentivized one-sided battles of large player accounts on lower level players which leads to increased permanent troop loss in 1) above
3) Removal of the effectiveness of trapping enemies on your home base - if you trap them they get full glory for hitting you.

These changes have created an environment where bullying by large teams is effectively incentivized, as it is easier to get glory off lower teams than teams who are your equal.

The issue is compounded by the recent process change PocketGems made to the rate of troop building.

This disequity, and the demoralizing effect of seeing days and weeks of hard work in troop building vanish before your eyes- without a fair exchange of glory that provides the in-game bonuses- is causing players to question continued involvement.

We need urgent action to keep War Dragons a viable game for all players rather than just the 1%ers.
