Voiceless Victims Voiceless Victims Voiceless Victims is a fake non-profit organization based in Lille, France. It claims to raise awareness for migrant workers who are victims of human rights abuses in Qatar. However, in December 2016, several news outlets like "Le Monde" and "Forbes" showed that it had been spying on Amnesty International. It also tried to spy on Building and Wood Workers' International and Anti-Slavery International. An international investigation by Amnesty International showed that it had sent e-mails with spyware and malware to their staff; that its founder had a fake LinkedIn profile, with false claims of graduating

Shinpu Castle Shinpu Castle Background. Shinpu Castle is located on a mountain with steep sides overlooking the Kamanashi River to the west of Kōfu, where Takeda Shingen's Tsutsujigasaki Castle was located. Following Shingen's death, his son and successor, Takeda Katsuyori initially successfully expanded his territory into eastern Mino Province; however, suffered a major defeat against Oda Nobunaga's matchlock-armed forces at the Battle of Nagashino, losing four of his top generals. Following this defeat, the Takeda found themselves surrounded by increasing aggressive neighbors, including the Oda, the Tokugawa clan, the Uesugi clan and the Odawara Hōjō clan. Katsuyori felt

that a castle located near the center of his domains would be easier to defend, and over the objections of many of his surviving vassals relocated from Tsutsujigasaki Castle in 1581. Structure. The castle is located on a hill with steep cliffs which was created by an ancient lava flow from Mount Yatsugatake and erosion by the Kamanashi River. The defenses enclosed an area 500 meters long by 200 meters wide in a north-to-south orientation. The Inner bailey was a square enclosure at the top of the hill, and connects to the main gate, which was located to

Shinpu Castle

the west, via a second bailey. The layout thus somewhat resembles the layout of Tsutsujigasaki Castle. South of the central area was a large third bailey, which was approximately 100 meters long and divided into two "kuruwa" enclosures by a clay wall. The main gate of the castle was also fortified by a half-circular fortification with a dry moat. The northern side of the castle was also fortified by two protections, which extended into a water moat. Construction of the castle took only eight months and was overseen by Sanada Masayuki. History. In early 1582, before the castle or

Shinpu Castle

its "jōkamachi" were even complete, an alliance between Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu invaded the Takeda holdings in Shinano Province after the defection of Kiso Yoshimasa. Takatō Castle fell after only one day, and many Takeda retainers defected or simply ran away. The Oda-Tokugawa alliance advanced into Kai Province, and laid siege to Shinpu Castle at Battle of Tenmokuzan. Takeda Katsuyori was unable to hold the castle with his remaining 300-400 men, so on March 3, 1582 he set fire to Shinpu Castle and fled into the mountains, attempting to reach another Takeda stronghold, Iwadono Castle, held by

Shinpu Castle

Oyamada Nobushige, an old Takeda retainer. At the time, Sanada Masayuki had advised Katsuyori to make for Iwabitsu Castle instead, but he would not listen. Katsuyori was denied entry by Oyamada, and committed suicide while the last remnant of his army held off their pursuers. Oda Nobunaga sent Kawajiri Hidetaka to take control of the castle while Tokugawa Ieyasu conducted mopping up operations against the remnants of the Takeda forces. It became Ieyasu's stronghold while he fought off an invasion of the province the Odawara Hōjō. Afterwards, the castle was allowed to fall completely into ruins. Today, no structures

remain of the castle except for the remnants of some dry moats and earthenworks. The site of the former Inner bailey of the castle is now occupied by a Shinto shrine. The castle was listed as one of the Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles in 2017. It is located a 10-minute walk from Shinpu Station on the JR East Chūō Main Line. Shinpu Castle Background.

He gained his medical degree (MB, BS in Medicine and Surgery) from the University of Sydney, graduating in 1964. He worked as resident and registrar at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, becoming a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP) as a

This experience led him to pursue an academic career. In 1969 he was appointed a Research Fellow at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, where he pursued a PhD in Clinical Immunology from the University of Melbourne. His thesis was entitled ""Cellular Interactions with Antigens in the Immune Response"", and he graduated in 1972. Medical career. After completing his PhD, Dwyer took up a one-year scholarship at Yale University in the USA

. He was offered a Howard Hughes Medical Institute career development award in 1973, and a similar scholarship from the US National Institutes of Health and continued his career in the US. During his 14 years at Yale, he became the Professor of Medicine and Paediatrics, and he was Head of the Department of Clinical Immunology for seven years. During this time AIDS emerged and Dwyer was engaged with the early efforts to identify and treat the disease. He conducted research into the role that T8 cells play in AIDS. In 1985 he returned to Australia as Professor of Medicine and

John Dwyer (medicine)

Head of the School of Medicine at the University of New South Wales. He was also the Director of Medicine for the University's major teaching hospital, the combined Prince Henry / Prince of Wales Hospital. At the time, the growth of HIV/AIDS was his major area of research and clinical work, including the introduction of anti-retroviral drugs. The moral panic associated with AIDS meant that he also had to deal with political considerations. In 1987 he was a foundation member of the National Advisory Committee on AIDS (NACAIDS), which made a range of recommendations including syringe exchange programs

John Dwyer (medicine)

in prisons and not segregating HIV-positive prisoners. These recommendations were not adopted at the time due to their political unpopularity. He emphasised that years of experience in managing HIV/AIDS have confirmed that legislation and policy is most effective when it respects the human rights of the people concerned, especially non-discrimination, equality, and due process. In 1989, he was a senior adviser to NSW Health Minister Peter Collins and the Chief Health Officer, Sue Morey, during the events where Sharleen Spiteri, an HIV-positive sex worker, was forcibly detained. Dwyer had argued against this course of action, but

John Dwyer (medicine)

he lost that argument, stating later that Collins was "quite open about saying that he felt he had to be seen to be being tough … and protecting the community." Dwyer was then obliged to hold Spiteri in a locked ward in his own hospital unit for a short time. This came to public attention when the television show 60 Minutes featured the controversy. Dwyer went on to found the AIDS Society of Asia and the Pacific, which still convenes bi-annual international conferences on HIV/AIDS in the Asia Pacific region, becoming its first president. Throughout his career Dwyer continued

Public health advocacy. In addition to his formal academic roles, Dwyer has been involved with bodies that advise policy, including co-chairman of the Medical Staff Executive Council of

NSW. He has pushed strongly for a reform of the way health care is delivered in Australia. Since retiring from his full-time academic position, Dwyer has become a champion for evidence-based medicine and for educating the general public. Dwyer is a passionate advocate for structural reform of Australia's primary care system, which he says fails to provide preventive strategies to minimise lifestyle-related chronic and complex diseases, which in turn place enormous strain on public hospitals. He advocates the "Medical Home" concept that features multi-disciplinary primary care teams who facilitate an approach that involves the community

John Dwyer (medicine)

seeking clinical help to stay well, not just treat disease. He is frequently quoted in the press as an expert on matters such as managing the costs of health care, the risks of having universities become dependent on corporate sponsorship, anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, and unproven practices such as homeopathy, "detoxification", nutritional supplements, "slapping therapy" or "esoteric breast massage". Dwyer pressures the government to stop using public funds to support unproven practices. The Australian taxation system provides a rebate to help cover the premiums for people who take out private health insurance. Benefits paid for natural therapies have been increasing

John Dwyer (medicine)

rapidly in spite of lack of testing: "Choice" magazine estimates that over the 10 years to 2015, benefits paid for natural therapies increased 345%. In 2014, after the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) review of global research into homeopathy found it had no efficacy, Dwyer called on the government to stop supporting it financially via the government rebate to private health insurers. He advocates a combination of orthodox medicine with so-called "alternative medicine" based on the strength of the available evidence, rather than thinking of them as two separate systems: "The challenge we now face involves creating

John Dwyer (medicine)

a converging pathway that will incorporate the best of CAM and orthodox medicine into unified and routine management plans." Advisory committee to the Minister for Health. In 2002, Dwyer chaired the New South Wales Healthcare Complaints and Consumer Protection Advisory Committee (HCCPAC) (informally called the "Quackwatch Committee"), whose objective was to tighten controls on "wonder drugs" and "miracle cures", and to "combat dodgy cures and health practices". This advisory committee identified the following systemic issues with the health care system: The committee's conclusion was its recommendation to form an inter-agency committee incorporating the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission, the

Department of Fair Trading, the Health Care Complaints Commission and the TGA to facilitate working together. Australian Health Care Reform Alliance. In 2003, Federal and State governments were negotiating the funding of public hospitals but little attention was paid to non-hospital approaches such as preventive care, early diagnosis, community-based health care, mental health, indigenous health and workforce health. Dwyer pointed out that there are dependencies between these, for example every day the Prince of Wales Hospital was forced to turn away ambulances, because its emergency departments were filled with patients who could not get a bed in a

John Dwyer (medicine)

nursing home, or who had no access to a bulk-billing doctor. At the time, Dwyer was chairman of the National Hospitals Clinicians' task force, and this prompted him to look at options for a more balanced system. He approached other health organisations to form an alliance that could provide a co-ordinated response on major health reform issues. The result was that he founded the Australian Health Care Reform Alliance (AHCRA). The AHCRA aimed to inform the political decision-making process by representing the Australian Medical Association, the Nursing Federation, Catholic Health, the deans of all the medical schools

John Dwyer (medicine)

, Access Economics, physicians, surgeons, rural doctors, and consumers. Initially, its executive organizations were the Australian Healthcare Association, Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, National Rural Health Alliance, Australian Consumers' Association, Royal Australasian College of Physicians, Australian Council of Social Service, Doctors Reform Society, Health Consumers Network, Australian Physiotherapy Association and Health Issues Centre. Three years later, the Australian Nursing Federation joined the executive of the AHCRA. Their evaluation of the AHCRA at that time was that it "has already proved to be a powerful force in persuading governments and the community about the necessity and value of making fundamental changes

to the structure and funding of Australian health care." NSW Government Inter-Agency Committee on health care fraud. He is the Clinical Consultant to the NSW Inter-Agency committee examining ways to better protect consumers from health related fraud. Friends of Science in Medicine. In 2011, Dwyer formed the organization "Friends of Science in Medicine" (FSM) with a group of Australian doctors, medical researchers and scientists. Dwyer was the inaugural president, a role that he held until early 2019. FSM was formed "to emphasise the importance of having health care in Australia based upon evidence, scientifically sound research and established

John Dwyer (medicine)

scientific knowledge." , the organisation's membership included over 1000 doctors, researchers and supporters, including Nobel laureates and three winners of Australian of the Year. Training and regulation of unproven methods. Dwyer supports conducting robust research in complementary practices, and adopting the ones that prove to be safe and effective. He strongly opposes teaching practices which are not supported by good evidence, especially when they are presented to students as if they were. National registration has led to many alternative practitioners being registered by the Australian Health Practitioners Registration Authority (AHPRA), which is the same federal body that covers doctors and

John Dwyer (medicine)

nurses. However, the alternative practitioners are not required to provide evidence of their methods' efficacy because they are deemed low-risk. At the same time, a number of colleges and even universities run courses in supplementary, complementary and alternative methodologies. Dwyer has raised concerns that instead of providing improved accountability, these changes may simply confer an appearance of respectability and professionalism which is not warranted: he told "Australasian Science" that "it is increasingly difficult to encourage patients to accept only evidence-based treatments for their problems when some universities and indeed private health insurers, provide unacceptable, often dangerous practices with

John Dwyer (medicine)

undeserved credibility." In 2011, he organized a group of 34 prominent Australian doctors, medical researchers and scientists who wrote an open letter to Central Queensland University to express their concerns about its plans to teach “alternative medicine" courses as if they were science. They were concerned that this would be misleading to the public, that public money would be wasted, and that it would damage the credibility of Australia's university system: "such initiatives diminish the academic reputation of participating institutes and Australian science as they give credibility to pseudoscience or blatant anti-science." Similarly, in "The Medical Journal of

John Dwyer (medicine)

Australia" in February 2014 he argues that the pharmaceutical industry's growing practice of selling homeopathic and naturopathic preparations, and nutritional supplements, seriously undermines their standing as trusted professionals, and that "one can only imagine that commercial reasons dominate." Dwyer made strong public statements in support of Ken Harvey after Harvey resigned his post at La Trobe University in protest when a vitamin company funded the university to set up a centre whose emphasis was to study that company's own products. Writing for the "Medical Journal of Australia", Dwyer highlighted the potential for a conflict of interest, to the
