Home Shinkansen Tokyo to Osaka
The Shinkansen is a high-speed rail system that connects major cities in Japan. Japan's first Tokaido Shinkansen was launched in 1964, connecting Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, Japan's three major metropolitan areas. This line was the first commercial high-speed rail system in the world. Today, the Shinkansen is still one of the world's most advanced high-speed rail systems. The Shinkansen is known as the "Bullet Train," and can run at speeds of 240–320 kmph (149–199 mph).
We recommend that you board the Shinkansen at Tokyo Station, because it's the first station, and passengers can usually get seats. If passengers want to switch to the Narita Express, we recommend switching at Shinagawa; it's a short walk from the Shinkansen platforms to the Narita Express platforms at Shinagawa.
Shin-Osaka Station and it is comparatively far away from downtown area. Please make sure you leave enough time to reach the station. Midosuji Subway line can reach Shi-Osaka Station.
Currently, there are three methods of transportation between Tokyo and Osaka: bus, Shinkansen and plane. Considering the distance is only about 515 km (about 320 mi), obliviously the Shinkansen is the first choice for more visitors. When traveling short distances, the Shinkansen saves time. We recommend that you buy a JR (Japan Railway) Pass to save money. If you don't have the pass, the fare is approximately JPY 13, 620 for a single trip (updated in October 2019).
Types of bullet trains
Shinkansen lines are classified into three types, based on their speed:
Applicable for JR Pass
Nozomi
Classes of Seats
Generally, there are only two classes on the Shinkansen. Please note that different classes are in separate cars. Thus, there are two different cars: ordinary car and green car.
Numbers of Seats in One Row
Ordinary car
There are more passengers in one cabin and there is not much leg room.
Green car
There are fewer passengers in one cabin and there is quite a lot of leg room.
Train schedule
During the day, there are above five pairs of shinkansen that run every hour between Tokyo and Osaka. The frequency of the trains is about 10 minutes . Thus, we only list the first and last departure times below:
Shinkansen Ticket Prices
Passengers can buy Shinkansen tickets from ticket counters, ticket machines, or online. Foreign visitors with tourist visas are entitled to buy a JR Pass, which offers unlimited access to all Shinkansen trains (except the Nozomi and Mizuho trains) for a good price.
The final price of a Shinkansen ticket is a sum of the base fare, Shinkansen supplement, seat reservation fee (if applicable), and green car fee (if applicable).
Price in JPY (during peak season)
Duration from Tokyo to Kyoto
14,370 for single trip
13,620 for single trip (note: this is the slowest train, but the price of tickets is the same as for the Hikari)
Child Fares
Infants younger than one year old: free (50% of the full fare if the child takes a reserved seat)
Children between 1 to 5 years old: free if sitting with an adult (50% of the full fare if the child takes a reserved seat)
Children between 6 to 11 years old: 50% of the full fare if they take a seat in the ordinary car (full fare if they take a seat in the green car)
Do You Need Reserved Seats on the Shinkansen?
Generally, you don't need a reserved ticket to get a seat on the Shinkansen. Just buying an unreserved ticket is enough. However, if you are traveling during peak hours (7–9 a.m. and 4–7 p.m.) or during the peak travel seasons (31 December–3 January or 1 May–15 August), consider buying reserved tickets in advance. Then, you won't have to stand on the train.
With a JR Pass, you can make reservations at any JR ticket window, up to one month in advance of your travel. You cannot reserve your seat(s) from overseas.
How to Use the JR Pass
Should you buy a JR Pass? Is it worth it? Will it save you money? Where can you buy it?
We think that it is worth it in most situations.
Price of the JR Pass (updated in June, 2021)
Green Car (JPY)
Ordinary Car (JPY)
Other Modes of Transportation from Tokyo to Osaka
Taking a bus from Tokyo to Osaka is about 8 hours. We usually recommend 2 bus companies, JR Bus and Willer Express. Both daytime buses and night buses are available.
For JR Bus, the cost varies from JPY 4, 000 to JPY 8,000, depending on what kind of buses and seats passengers choose.
For Willer Express, the cost varies from JPY 3,520 to JPY 12,00 and its night buses are more comfortable than other companies' night buses.
Osaka has 2 airports: Kansai International Airport and Osaka Itami Airport.
There are many flights from Tokyo to Osaka. The duration is usually at around 1 hour and 30 minutes. The price usually varies from JPY 12,000 to JPY 28,000. Sometimes the discount will be very cheap, even below JPY 4,000.
However, when you include the time and cost of getting from your places to Tokyo to Narita Airport, and from Kansai Airport to your final destination in Osaka, it may be just as easy to take the shinkansen.
Drive from Tokyo to Kyoto. It will take 5 or 6 hours depending on traffic. However, the toll fees is up to JPY 10,000.
Distance: 515 km (about 320 mi)
Terminals: in Tokyo: Tokyo Railway Station/Shinagawa Station; in Osaka: Shin-Osaka Station
Tokyo to Osaka: 6:00 a.m. first departure/ 9:23 p.m. last departure
Osaka to Tokyo: 6:00 a.m. first departure/ 9:23 p.m. last departure
The JR Pass can save you a lot of money.
You have to purchase the pass outside of Japan; you can buy the JR Pass through a travel agency, which will tell you how to exchange the voucher when you arrive in Japan.
You can only use a JR Pass with a tourist visa (no other visa is accepted).
JR Passes can be used on all JR trains across Japan, including Shinkansen (except the Nozomi). The passes can also be used on certain JR buses and ferries.
The pass cannot be used for private train lines or subways within cities.


Any idea if this dock will work universally with Windows based PCs equipped with Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C? I would like to expand the IO of my Razer Blade Stealth when at my desk.
What happens if I connect it to a WAN instead?
These are for tablets and ultra-lights, where LAN ports simply wont physically fit due to thinness. The parent device (tablet, laptop, etc...) has WAN support already most likely (WiFi, 4G, etc...), so no need for it in a dock. We have them at my work to convert ultra-lights/tablets into full blown desktop setups.
I'm wondering if it's USB 3.1 Gen 1 or 2.
The current world of USB-C docks is full of accessions and limitations. It's the most un-Universal USB related implementation yet.
AFIK there's no shipping non-propriatary Thunderbolt 3 docks. OWC and Belkin have announced them, due in the next few months. Hopefully TB3 is less picky than current USB-C implementations.

A closer look at sexual assault reporting
MATTHEW VANTRYON | MANAGING EDITOR
Nearly one year ago, a protest on Butler University's campus held by faculty and students in support of a Butler student with the blog pseudonym "Eliza Quincey" shed a light on potential deficiencies in the sexual assault process.
"Eliza" posted a pair of blog posts telling of an alleged rape and her frustration with the university's allegedly insufficient response and process throughout the student conduct hearings. "Eliza" claimed the process took too long and was unfair.
Butler President James Danko announced plans to increase sexual violence prevention efforts and start a sexual assault commission in an email to the Butler community the day before the scheduled protest.
The Butler community protested after Eliza Quincey's alleged sexual assault.
"The issue of sexual violence matters to all of us, and we must continuously strengthen our educational and preventative efforts," he said in an April 16, 2014, email. "Many improvements are already underway, including the development and rollout of a comprehensive civil rights policy last year and the campus-wide expansion of Title IX training this spring."
The Collegian wants to shed light on the reporting process when a sexual assault happens to help members of the Butler community understand the process.
Students need to report if they have been a victim of sexual assault. Depending on the victim's comfort level, there are different reporting options — from most confidential to least confidential.
Counseling and Consultation Services
Sexual assault victim advocate
Campus Security Authorities
Responsible Employees
BU Police Department
Title IX deputy coordinator for students
A student who has been assaulted and wishes to not have the information reported to police can visit a counselor at Butler's counseling and consultation services. This information is kept entirely confidential.
A student can also visit Health Services for an examination. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act provides patient record privacy, but health records are shared with insurance companies regarding coverage of treatment and reimbursement to medical organizations and professionals.
Sarah Barnes-Diaz is Butler's sexual assault victim advocate. She is available 24/7 via the phone number listed on the back of every student ID.
After informing the victim that she is required to report information to the police as a campus security authority, she listens to the victim and asks questions based on what the victim says.
"I would ask, 'Are you able to tell me a little bit about what happened?' The student will tell as much as they feel comfortable," she said. "It's not my role to investigate, so I don't get into real nitty-gritty questions about the specifics of what they have experienced. But based on what they share with me, I take my cues from that information about things it might be helpful for them to consider or to know about."
She shares information about available resources and next steps victims can take.
Barnes-Diaz encourages students to go to either St. Vincent Hospital or Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital to visit a Center of Hope, both located in Indianapolis. She will go with the student or make the initial phone call to the hospital if the victim makes that request.
Victims can receive a free full-body examination. They also can be tested for exposure to sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.
Barnes-Diaz offers to follow up with students after the initial conversation. Some students follow up the next day, some only follow up if they have questions, and others never follow up at all. She said what they do after that is up to them.
"Whatever decision they make is the right decision for that student," she said. "My job is to provide options, to listen, to exhibit belief in the student and to be available."
Researchers dispute the effect alcohol has in sexual assault cases on college campuses.
According to the Jeanne Clery Act, campus security authorities are required to report three pieces of information to the campus police for record-keeping purposes. This information includes the type of crime committed, the location of the crime and the date the crime took place.
Campus security authorities include campus police, security officers such as ESG security personnel and Health and Recreation Complex desk workers, the victim advocate and Title IX coordinator, and those who oversee organizations and groups on campus — deans, coaches, and resident assistants, among others.
According to Title IX, "responsible employees" who are told of incidents of sexual assault must report details of the incident to the Title IX coordinator or the Title IX deputy coordinator for students.
A responsible employee is any employee who has the duty of reporting sexual violence, or anyone who a student could believe has this responsibility. This includes any faculty or staff member on campus.
Responsible employees are told to listen to the student, refer students to resources such as the victim advocate, health services or BUPD, and report the incident to the Title IX coordinator.
Victims can also report sexual assault to the police department. The department takes a proactive approach. FERPA, the law that protects student academic records, suggests that law enforcement records "may be disclosed" as public records. Since Butler is a private university and not a public university, it is not required to disclose these records.
"When they come straight to us, with that approach, we naturally take the assumption they want us involved, at least initially," Butler detective Bruce Allee said.
BUPD's first priority is to ensure the victim has received proper medical care. It encourages the victim to visit a Center of Hope.
The Center of Hope will also do a forensic collection of evidence. Butler detective Diane Sweeney said this collection of evidence is key if a student decides to press criminal charges.
"What's important about that is that in the event they may have been drugged, the body metabolizes that quickly," she said. "The sooner they can get in and get that established, it will help to strengthen their case if they decide to go criminally versus just administratively."
This forensic evidence is valid for up to 365 days after it is collected.
Campus police play a crucial role in sexual assault reporting on college campuses.
Police detectives try to get as much information from the victim as possible.
Police need to know who was involved, how many people were involved, and if there is any evidence available that would be helpful in gathering additional information.
Detective Allee also said it is crucial to determine who potential witnesses are.
"Who might have they talked to?" he said. "Who might have been there? Who can help fill in the gaps of what the person may not be aware of? If it was an alcoholic situation, there might be people who knew of things going on that our victim wasn't aware of. That's going to be key."
The location where the event occurred is also important, because it determines who takes charge of the case if it were to go to the prosecutor. If it occurred out of the BUPD's jurisdiction, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department handles it, Allee said.
Andy Ryan, BUPD assistant police chief, said the department's area of coverage includes anything on campus or anything within one to two blocks that is affiliated with Butler.
Allee said he and Sweeney present the victim with the option of pressing criminal charges after gathering information.
"We are not going to push them into the criminal process if they don't want it to go that way," Allee said. "It's not our job to push them. If they do not want to go through the criminal process, then we start to back off. We don't make them make a determination quick. We give them time to make that decision."
Detective Sweeney said if a victim knows the alleged perpetrator, he or she qualifies for a protective order through the city of Indianapolis. Detectives can help walk victims through the online application process.
After being sexually assaulted, victims can ask for accommodations in order to ensure his or her safety and comfort on campus. Stacie Colston Patterson, Title IX deputy coordinator for students, facilitates these accommodations.
Accommodations can include a change in housing. Patterson also handles related details like parking passes and meal plans for the students.
There are other accommodations that can be made, but they will be taken only if a victim discloses the name of the accused. These include academic and co-curricular accommodations so there is no contact between the victim and the accused.
There are numerous next steps a victim can choose to take after reporting a crime: a police investigation and potential criminal prosecution, the process of student conduct board hearings and appeals, and the process of filing a Title IX complaint and an equity grievance panel hearing.

The world watched as Milwaukee voters and poll workers wore masks and practiced social distancing to protect the health of our City for an in-person vote that was dangerous, ill-advised and – as one voter noted in a now viral protest sign – ridiculous.
To help avoid a replay of the April 7 election, I am introducing legislation to create a SafeVote program under which all registered voters in the City of Milwaukee would receive an application for an absentee ballot along with a postage-paid return envelope in time for them to participate in the Fall 2020 General Election. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that nothing is truly certain at the moment, but with SafeVote we can make certain that all registered voters in Milwaukee can easily apply for an absentee ballot for the historic and pivotal election this fall.
The SafeVote measure will be a key item on the short agenda at next Tuesday's charter meeting of the 2020-2024 Common Council, and I look forward to working with my new colleagues to help move it forward.
The Council can help ensure access to mail-in voting that is (according to calls, emails and media reports) widely supported by residents. Whitefish Bay implemented a similar program for this past election which resulted in a 60% turnout, and we deserve this level of participation as well.
I believe the time is now to offer Milwaukee's determined and undaunted citizens a safe and sensible option for them to exercise their right to vote this fall.
When we invest in ensuring everyone has safe ballot access and a voice in local government, we invest in ourselves.

Botanical beer launched to appeal to wine drinkers
bar team July 23, 2019
Good Living Brew Company has launched Binary Botanical, a new light beer with a "prosecco-like taste", to the UK on-trade.
Aimed at wine-lovers and designed to pair with food and cocktails, Binary Botanical has a "fresh, tangy and aromatic profile".
The drink was created by a team of women with years of experience in the brewing industry who shared the frustration of wanting a moderate alcoholic beverage, yet not enjoying the traditional bitter taste of beer.
While most beers are brewed using hop cones, Binary Botanical is infused for five days with organic leaves from Sovereign and First Gold hop bines, the name given to the stems of the hop plant.
The hop bine leaves are said to provide a unique flavour that "combines the refreshment of an ice cold beer with the tropical notes of a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, the soft effervescence and tanginess of prosecco, and finally something verdant and herbal that's reminiscent of Gin and Tonic."
Binary currently features on drinks menus at Hix Restaurant's Tramshed, L'Ortalon and Draft House. It can be enjoyed in a stemmed glass with strawberries, mint and oranges and a dash of Grenadine as an alternative to Pimm's. At L'Ortolan, it is served as a julep with raspberries, grapefruit, lemon and lime and Caribbean dark rum.
Danielle Bekker, one of Binary's founders, said: "We set out to create a new style of beer which would appeal to wine-lovers and people who think they don't like beer.
"After months of development, we have crafted a sophisticated lighter beer which is perfect with food and a great low alcohol cocktail mixer."
Mike Goncalves, senior bar manager at Tramshed, Hix Restaurants, added: "We are featuring Binary Botanical on our drinks menu and we all love it. It's the most innovative beer we've seen hit the market in the last ten years."

Merlo è una città argentina della provincia di Buenos Aires, capoluogo del partido omonimo.

Geografia
Merlo è situata sulla sponda destra del fiume Reconquista, a 29 km ad ovest dal centro di Buenos Aires. È integrata nella parte occidentale della grande area metropolitana bonaerense Grande Buenos Aires. La città confina con le città di San Antonio de Padua, Paso del Rey, Moreno, il Rio (fiume) Reconquista e le città di Mariano Acosta, Libertad, Ituzaingó e Parque San Martín.

Storia

Nei primi decenni del XVIII secolo Francisco de Merlo, un commerciante e latifondista spagnolo trapiantato a Buenos Aires, acquisì una serie di terreni ad ovest della città, lungo la strada reale per Córdoba. Nel 1738 egli chiese al cabildo bonaerense l'autorizzazione per fondare un nuovo villaggio sulle sue proprietà e limitare così le incursioni degli indigeni contro le fattorie della zona. Nel 1755 Merlo ricevette il permesso da parte del re per fondare un nuovo insediamento ad ovest di Buenos Aires. La nuova cittadina si sarebbe potuto dotare anche di un cabildo e di uno scudo d'arme. Così il 28 agosto dello stesso anno Merlo fondò ufficialmente la città di Villa de San Antonio del Camino.

Negli anni successivi tuttavia l'insediamento non riuscì a crescere e prosperare e, dopo la morte di Merlo nel 1758, tutte le proprietà di quest'ultimo passarono nelle mani dei padri mercedari. Ad affossare definitivamente lo sviluppo della città fu la costruzione nel 1773 del ponte Márquez sul río de las Conchas che spostò tutto il traffico sulla nuova strada, detta de los Gaonas, che di fatto tagliava fuori Merlo. Nel 1776 la parrocchia locale si trasferì nella vicina Morón a causa dello spopolamento. Nello stesso anno i mercedari costruirono un ospizio per i poveri della zona.

Nel 1852 le terre sulle quali sorgeva il villaggio, ormai in rovina, furono acquistate dall'irlandese Thomas Gibson Pearson. Sei anni dopo il figliastro di quest'ultimo, Juan Dillon, decise di rifondare Merlo grazie all'arrivo della ferrovia da Buenos Aires. Per rendere più appetibili degli appezzamenti da decenni ai margini dei traffici commerciali, Dillon convinse l'impresa costruttrice a modificare il tracciato della linea più a sud, attraverso appunto i suoi terreni. L'impresa creò un'apposita commissione per lo sviluppo dell'abitato ed incaricò l'architetto Pedro Benoit di tracciare le strade e le piazze del nuovo abitato. L'11 agosto 1859 fu aperta al traffico la stazione ferroviaria di Merlo.

Negli anni successivi la sua rifondazione, il villaggio fu scarsamente popolato e molti lotti di terreno rimasero invenduti. In questi primi anni, grazie alla presenza di un curato irlandese nella parrocchia locale, s'insediò a Merlo una piccola comunità di immigrati provenienti da quell'isola. Nei decenni successivi giungeranno grandi ondate di migranti italiani e spagnoli che soppianteranno gli irlandesi.

Negli anni quaranta del XX secolo Merlo fu investita da una seconda ondata migratoria, proveniente dalle provincie dell'interno, che trasformarono l'abitato da villaggio di campagna a popoloso sobborgo della capitale.

Merlo fu dichiarato "città" con la legge provinciale 5830 del 19 agosto 1955.

For You the War is Over by Dan Billany and David Dowie
DAN BILLANY and DAVID DOWIE (the last pictures taken of the two friends while in Rezzanello POW camp)
Dr Paul Skrebels is currently working on:
For You the War is Over.
Taken from Dan Billany and David Dowie's original manuscripts, now in the Imperial War Museum. In May 1949 Longman's published The Cage and generated a run of very favourable reviews; however it was only a partial representation of the work intended by the authors to be called For You the War is Over.
This book is intended to take you into the strange world where we have now been living for a year. Naturally a small fee is payable.
If we delayed writing till we got back to England we should gain in tranquility, but in every thing else we should lose. We have no idea how we shall regard this interlude in the future years. The only thing we can be sure of is that we will not see it in the way we see it now. Therefore the picture we mean to draw now is the one which we should lose for ever if we delayed —
"Ere the fleeting hour goes by,
Quick! Thy tablets, Memory."
For as we write this, we are in it. We are not even 'certain' that we shall ever go back to England. At the moment there is not a whisper of release, and the war seems well able to go on for ever. Freedom is a hypothesis, prison is a fact.
DB and DD
Dr Paul Skrebels has been restoring the work to its original state, and in the foreword to the book Dr Skrebels explains —
Two principal tasks were in involved in the restoration of For You the War is Over.The first was to revise the text of the 1949 edition so that it more accurately reflects the final draft of the manuscript. Thus previously omitted passages have been reintegrated, while other sections altered or amended in various ways have been returned to their original form. Second, the illustrations - hitherto unavailable to the public have been included.The thumbnail sketches have been placed in or around the text as close as possible to their original positions,at least as far as the transcription from longhand to word-processed typescript allows, while the larger scenes of prison-camp life return to their key roles as text in their own right. In addition, certain other portraits and scenes from the notebooks, although apparently not intended by the authors for inclusion,, have been employed to add variety and depth to the largely unembellished latter part of the work, and so provide some balance to the much illustrated episodes of the earlier part. Another stage of the project will entail the addition of notes and appendices drawn from the notebooks, earlier drafts and other works by Billany and Dowie, as well as broader background and contextual information as aids for contemporary readers and researchers.
There is no question that The Cage, even in its first published form, is a remarkable work and a noteworthy addition to the canon of WWII and PoW literature. It is hoped that in its restored form as For You the War is Over it will be recognised both as a unique and groundbreaking tour-de-force in war writing, and for its potential to contribute even further to our understanding and appreciation of that body of work and of the times and the people who helped to create it.
The Fontanella family, ordinary people, who like the Melettis and many others, risked their own lives giving Dan and David shelter from the Germans . When WWII was over Dino Meletti sent a parcel to the Billany family — it contained the manuscripts to The Trap and The Cage (For You the War is Over) which Dan had entrusted to his safe keeping.
Colonel Eugenio Vicedomini ran Fontanellato, Camp PG 49. In September 1943 as the Italian Armistice approached the Colonel proved to be a man with strong moral principles. Going against orders to wait for the Germans to arrive and transport the prisoners to a camp in Germany, Vicedomini, with Lt Col Hugo de Burgh, the Senior British Officer in the camp organised freeing the prisoners. And so it was that Dan Billany and David Dowie with all the other PoWs left Fontanellato.
However, Colonel Vicedomini stayed to face the Germans. A valiant deed which was to cost him dearly. When the Germans arrived to find not a single Allied prisoner, they took him instead. Arrested, he was sent to a camp in Poland. Badly treated and in poor health he returned soon after the war ended to die in Italy.
Meanwhile, although Dan and the others were no longer prisoners, they were far from safe. The Allied Lines lay 500 miles south. The map shows roughly the route taken by Dan and David from Fontanellato to Capistrello. Sympathetic Italian families gave them food and shelter along the way, risking their own lives in doing so. It was the practice to leave a chit with their hosts; a simple bit of paper with their names on it, stating that the holder had looked after them, the idea being that the British Government would recompense them for their trouble. The last chit signed by Dan, David and Alec Harding to be handed in was from Capistrello, dated 20th November 1943. On leaving they are presumed to have headed south.
As can be seen from the picture of Capistrello (right) the journey was going to be far from easy - in a mountainous territory, crawling with Germans and bitterly cold the three friends vanished. To this day their fates remain unknown.
Please contact Jodi Weston Brake if you have any information regarding their disappearance

Rothschild British Financial Empire Produced the `Panama Papers`
7th April 2016 British Financial Empire, Current African News, World AffairsEDITOR
re posted from LEFTHOOK BY DEAN HENDERSON
Rothschild/Crown Finger Prints On Panama Papers
This week's release of The Panama Papers by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has sparked a geopolitical firestorm. The single-source 2.6 terabyte leak from Panamanian firm Mossack Fonseca contains more than 11 million records involving client drug money laundering and tax evasion.
While the corporate media has used the information to attack political enemies of the Rothschild-led international banking cartel such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, deceased Libyan leader Mohamar Qaddafi (neither of whom are even mentioned in the Papers), Chinese President Xi Jinping and bankster-jailing Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Davio Gunnlaugsson, the more interesting clientele have naturally flown below Pressitute radar.
These include Pakistan President Nawaz Sharif, Saudi King Salman, United Arab Emirates (UAE) & Abu Dhabi President Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, former Emir of Qatar Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, and both acting and former prime ministers of Iraq, Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine, Jordan, Qatar – all of whom are puppets of the Rothschild-led City of London banksters.
The late father of British Prime Minister David Cameron was also listed.
Panama has historically been well-utilized by the international bankers and their Western intelligence gendarmes as a nexus where guns, drugs and oil money are washed into fresh greenbacks. The Israeli Mossad (rhymes with Mossack) has a large presence in this cesspool while the US dollar is quite conveniently the currency of Panama.
Mossack Fonseca was launched in 1986 by London School of Economics graduate Ramon Fonseca and German-born Jurgen Mossack, who also spent time working in London's banking circles.
Mossack's father was a member of Hitler's Waffen-SS who fled to Panama, where he later offered to spy on Cuba for the CIA. Until very recently Fonseca had been a top advisor to Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela.
Mossack served on Conarex – the Panama branch of the Crown-controlled Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIF) from 2009-2014. The US branch is the Council on Foreign Relations. https://hendersonlefthook.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/the-council-on-foreign-relations/.
Both are members of the fair-skinned Panamanian elite which have historically served British Crown/Rothschild interests.
The conspicuous presence of Gulf monarchs and Ukrainian fascists in The Panama Papers is only upstaged by the yet more interesting names of the top ten intermediary banks which Mossack Fonseca worked through to set up these shadow offshore accounts.
The ten banks which facilitated this criminal network are as follows:
(1 Experta Corporate & Trust Services, a Luxembourg-based entity spun off in 2002 from Banque Internationale a Luxembourg S.A. Luxembourg is known as the place even Swiss bankers hide their money, as its financial transparency laws are among the most opaque in the world.
(2 Banque J. Safra Sarasin Luxembourg S.A.. The Safra family are old-line Lebanese Zionists close to Henry Kissinger. They own the dirty American Express laundrymat.
(3 Credit Suisse Channel Islands Ltd., which financed the looting of Russia in 1998 and which some have listed as the main source of ISIS funding.
(4 HSBC Private Bank (Monaco) S.A.
HSBC: The World's Dirtiest Bank
(5 HSBC Private Bank (Swiss) S.A.
(6 UBS AG, (Union Bank of Switzerland), the bank which bought Enron for $0 at auction after it tanked, it's dossier of crimes burned when WTC 7 was brought down.
(7 Coutts & Co. Trustees (Jersey) Ltd., which is the private repository for the immense fortune of the House of Windsor.
(8 Societe Generale Bank & Trust Luxembourg, a branch of this Rothschild-controlled French behemoth – one of the world's largest banks.
(9 Landsbanki Luxembourg S.A., liquidated in 1993, leaving unsuspecting depositors in the lurch and implicating Luxembourg banking regulators' mafia connections.
(10 Rothschild Trust Guernsey Ltd.
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has consistently promised to crack down on offshore banking, using the billions in lost tax proceeds we would regain to fund free public university tuition for all.
Already "Feeling the Bern" on this issue, President Obama yesterday announced the closing of some loopholes which allow the US elite and their corporations to cavort with the Rothschild mob in offshore havens, while avoiding paying US taxes.
Fresh off a big win in Wisconsin, Sanders now heads to New York, where the global oligarchy's media lap dogs will once again try to head him off at the ever-shifting pass, as they anxiously await the next shoe to drop in the massive data dump that is The Panama Papers.

Marion Thomson (née Robertson, 1911 – 1 March 2007) was a New Zealand lawyer. She was the third woman to graduate from the University of Otago with a degree in law.

Thomson was born and grew up in Dunedin. She left high school in 1927 after just two years, and worked as a typist and a legal secretary. She simultaneously studied at night school to gain entry to university, and began her studies in 1932. She completed her studies in 1936 but was not immediately admitted to the bar as she married in 1937 and had children. In 1960 she was admitted to the bar, becoming the fifth woman to be admitted in Dunedin.

Thomson worked in the firm of Rutherford McKinnon and Neil (now McKinnon Aitken Martin), specializing in matrimonial and children's issues, until she retired in 1979. She was instrumental in establishing the Otago Women Lawyers' Society, and was made a life member for her contributions. In 2008, following Thomson's death, the society founded a Marion Thomson Trust in her memory, to provide opportunities for members to develop their knowledge of family law.

One Motor. For the world.
A growing need for energy efficiency and resulting regulation drive the diversification of available LV-motors. This leads to high complexity of available motors and required certificates depending on the country they will be used in.
For example, Bühler nowadays has an active motor portfolio of more than 100'000 usable LV-motor types. You can imagine that such high variance leads to complex processes for everyone involved: sales, engineering, purchasing, customer service.
To handle the vast number of available LV-motors, legal regulations and technical requirements, Bühler has come up with a single solution: the Universal Motor. Based on IEC standards, the number of variants could be reduced to ~6'000 motor types. The new portfolio covers more than 80% of Bühler's needs. The Universal Motor is a standardization project with a complexity reduction rate of -90%.
Bühler's Universal Motor will be available for up to 250kW.
A more efficient Supply Chain.
More about A more efficient Supply Chain.
The Universal Motor will lead to higher efficiency along the supply chain and simplifies all processes from design to delivery. It will be easier to select, procure and deliver the right LV-motor including all required certificates and the right energy efficiency label.
Many Labels - One Motor.
More about Many Labels - One Motor.
Since we build and send machines throughout the world, we have included the most common labels in the Universal Motor concept. Therefore, every motor will have the following labels: CE, UL, CSA, EAC, CEL. ATEX as well as non-ATEX requirements are covered in IE2 or IE3.
Imagine you had one motor which could be used in North America, China, India, Russia, Europe and many other countries. These geographical areas are covered and make our Universal Motor truly global.
Designing the Universal Motor is an example of Bühler's open innovation culture as we engineered this product together with our main supply partners for LV-motors. For Bühler and its suppliers this project will represent a quantum leap in efficiency increase and lean production.
The concept will be rolled-out in early 2018. Serial availability will start in April 2018.

Media mix modeling for mobile apps: a privacy-safe answer to marketing measurement?
By John Koetsier • September 24, 2021
Is media mix modeling the answer for mobile apps user acquisitions leaders who want to measure and optimize marketing and advertising?
Here's the UA leader's dream:
Immediate, accurate marketing intelligence
Actionable insights on channel, creatives, bids, and budgets
Privacy-safe, Apple compliant, GDPR-happy, CCPA-OK methodologies and mechanics
… all of which result in smart insights that generate massive growth
It's a tall order for any methodology of marketing measurement. Can media mix modeling deliver that for mobile marketers?
Media mix modeling is a senior citizen in marketing (not that that's a bad thing)
There's no really kind way to put it: media mix modeling is old.
Often referred to as marketing mix modeling, it's been around since literally the 1950s and 1960s. Neil Borden, a professor at Harvard Business School, first coined the term marketing mix in 1949, and big brands used the concept in the emerging age of mass media to build statistical models of marketing effectiveness.
In that form, media mix modeling was effective at answering questions like these:
"If I spend $10 million on a TV campaign on the three big networks, what impact will it have on my sales of Cheerios?"
To build those answers, media mix modeling needed data: prior sales, ideally for years. Impacts on those sales. Seasonal trends. Competitive actions. Economic indicators like the consumer price index. Pricing comparisons. Availability data. Wider cultural movements, and so on. Marketing mix modeling typically used (and uses: it's still in operation) intensive analysis of lots of data from lots of different sources over a long period of time. When it works, marketing executives get answers to the big "what if" questions like what will tossing $10 million at ABC, NBC, and CBS do to our bottom line?
This reliance on scale and history and long periods of time would seem to disqualify MMM as a methodology for the much faster-paced and lower-scale mobile user acquisition campaigns. And, indeed, when I recently talked to Adobe about their brand-new still-in-beta marketing AI-driven media mix modeling product, that suspicion seems to be accurate.
It works well: the system allowed one customer to cut ad spend by 50% while still growing 10%.
But there's a big caveat: you need to be spending $50 million a year.
Well, some of the biggest mobile publishers are at that level, and beyond it. But certainly not the average mobile publisher. Most mobile marketers have much smaller budgets and need to know what's going on with their $100,000/month spend or their $50,000/month budget.
Mobile marketing has been drunk on data
Let's just be honest. Mobile advertising has been drunk on data: immediate data, accurate data, actionable data. Mobile growth professionals haven't had to bother with pre-digital modes of marketing measurement … partly because they seemed ancient and inexact and cumbersome and expensive and slow.
But mostly because digital offered a dream: a pure and clean and bold dream of exact knowledge and perfect awareness and scientific marketing resulting in no wasted dollars.
(Fraudsters, of course, loved that dream.)
But despite challenges — and there are some beyond fraud — that dream required a level of tracking that 1960s marketers would be amazed at, if not shocked. It started with cookies on the web in 1994, continued with hard-coded device IDs on smartphones in the early 2010s, shifted to more user-controllable advertising IDs shortly thereafter, and is currently trending to largely disappear in the early to mid-2020s.
No data to gobs of data to much less data, all in about a quarter of a century.
But for the complete to-date lifespan of the mobile-first computing era until now, we've been in an era of data glut.
"We've had a data addiction in mobile," says Brian Krebs, who runs MetricWorks and builds media mix models. "Because it has always been available."
Hello again, media mix modeling (the times they are a-changin')
Because those times are changing, driven by Apple, iOS 14.5, government regulation, and changing social attitudes, media mix modeling is coming back into the conversation. If you can't get as much granular data via IDFA on iOS, and you're wondering what might happen with AAID/GAID on Android, maybe there's another way.
Maybe it doesn't take a $50 million budget, and maybe it also doesn't take as much crazy math and exogenous data about the surrounding world and competitor's actions and economic shifts as we once thought.
If you pour in first-party data like day-of-week trends, vertical-specific trends like time of year seasonality, broad industry trends for app install frequency, plus specific-to-you events like getting featured by Google or Apple or having your game reviewed by GamesBeat or PocketGamer, that's actually enough, says Krebs. Add to it the marketing activity for your app — spend and impressions — and you've got a good basis for MMM for mobile user acquisition.
You do need to vary spend from time to time — a steady-state drone makes efficacy hard to pinpoint — but that happens naturally with changing competition for impressions and availability of supply.
The reality might be that media mix modeling is better for mobile user acquisition than it is for its originally intended purpose: big, slow, spendy campaigns by massive national and global brands. And it may show incrementality better than traditional methods as well.
"It was surprising to us to be perfectly honest: MMM just works better in mobile," Krebs says. "It's simpler … you need fewer data points."
But is it good enough?
What media mix modeling won't give you
Look. A technique doesn't have to be perfect to be useful. Anyone who thinks last-click attribution is a perfect measure of marketing performance is, frankly, delusional. And yet we've been largely using it for the last decade with, arguably, good effect.
Because it's been good enough.
So the question is: is MMM good enough to drive decision-making?
Before we answer that, here's what media mix modeling won't provide.
Perhaps the three words that capture it best are immediacy, granularity, and clarity. Immediacy was of course the incomparable glory of the IDFA (which still exists, clearly, for 10-20% of iOS traffic) and still is the shining north star of GAID-based attribution. (It's lacking — to an extent driven somewhat by your own decisions — in Apple's SKAdNetwork framework, of course. You could reset the SKAN postback to as long as 7 days.)
Knowing what works as soon as possible is critical to quick optimization. Knowing what doesn't work as soon as possible is critical to not wasting budget.
Media mix modeling for mobile doesn't take the weeks and months it requires in the big brand consumer space. But it's not quite as fast as a postback, either.
Granularity is similar: IDFA/GAID and even SKAdNetwork give you pinpoint precision data on a number of factors: source and campaign, a few configurable factors for SKAdNetwork, plus of course much more granular user-level data and cohorting for IDFA/GAID. There's less data from SKAdNetwork, but smart customization and hybrid postbacks with encoded values for multiple events and/or timers can help.
MMM will provide less in each of these areas, including a little less clarity into helper networks, assists, and last touches, especially for mobile growth marketers who are accustomed to running with many different ad partners simultaneously. (Yes, you can argue that all those networks are casting hooks into the same river, and that's true. But it's hard to argue that all the hooks — and the bait on them — are of identical value, and are all cast into the very best parts of the river where fish congregate.)
Incrementality will also struggle with creative optimization, which of course you can address by manually limiting creative variations by campaign to see impact over time. And bids and budgets on individual platforms will be a little more opaque to MMM.
So … a hybrid model: next-gen attribution
Media mix modeling isn't a silver bullet, someone who sells media mix modeling for mobile user acquisition teams told me. But it is useful. And, alongside an MMP, it adds context and insight.
The reality is that the age of tracking is ending.
IDFA is largely gone, fingerprinting is against Apple's guidelines, and Google will be making some privacy changes over time as well.
So you do need next-gen attribution.
That means impressions, clicks, and costs, sure. Installs, when you can get them. Creative insights, as much as possible. Channel and partner-specific results, as available. Upper funnel data and lower funnel data. First-party data from within your own app: new users, engagement patterns, sign-ups, purchases. Bids and budgets, and normalization and standardization across all your data sources.
The reality is that it's getting tougher out there. Last click on an advertising identifier was simple. Now, mobile growth professionals need a complete marketing data infrastructure, not just a mobile tracker. And you need that, by the way, across more than just mobile ads. There's out of doors, TV, web, and other channels that are starting to matter.
Combining all that signal while simultaneously silencing the noise to generate insights for growth: that's the next challenge. And MMM has a seat at that table as part of next-gen attribution.

Just found this picture ( dont know who's it is so hope they dont mind me using it ) and I noticed the intruction sheet is different to all the ones I have or have seen . Does the US market have different ones to Europe ? I know the boxes are different . Now has anyone got one like in the pic that they dont want and would send me .
I've never seen that one either.... if you find one, get it scanned and we'll post it for everyone to enjoy!
Hmmm...there is a SwissTool manual posted on the main site, but I can't seem to access it.
I have it Dunc. It came with my Spirit. This is the one that came with my SwissTool. I'll see if I can make a copy of it and sent it to you. It may take a day or so to do.
Dunc I put the instructions in the mail today. Hope they arrive ok.

If Solicitor General Elena Kagan is confirmed, she will become the first Supreme Court justice in four decades to ascend to the high court with no previous judicial experience.
Is this a big deal? It depends on who's doing the talking.
Conservative groups looking for traction against the former Harvard Law School dean, nominated Monday by President Obama, have made her lack of experience on the bench a centerpiece of their early lines of attack.
But even conservative legal scholars say that the criticism is a stretch, given that the last high court member with no previous judicial pedigree was the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist, a conservative icon. And that, historically, scores of distinguished justices of all political leanings – from conservative Robert Jackson to liberals Earl Warren and Hugo Black – took nonjudicial paths to the Supreme Court.
"I don't believe that previous judicial experience is a necessary qualification for service on the court," says Rick Garnett, a University of Notre Dame Law School professor and member of the conservative Federalist Society.
Indeed, the perception that nominees must have judicial experience is only a relatively recent one, historians say. Though all of the current justices came from the federal bench, 41 of the 111 justices in the history of the Supreme Court came to the job with no judicial experience.
But the trend since the 1970s, says court historian David Alistair Yalof, has been for presidents to draw nominees from the ranks of those already "cloaked in this norm of judicial experience" – no matter how limited that experience may be.
Justice Clarence Thomas, for example, served as a federal appeals court judge for less than a year before he was appointed to the high court. And current Chief Justice John Roberts spent two years as a federal appeals court judge before being tapped by President George W. Bush.
Yalof and other court watchers say that scales have tipped in favor of nominating current judges because it delivers a serving of confidence to the president who makes the nomination and the senators who will consider it. This can help streamline the confirmation process.
Nominees from the federal bench have already been approved by the Senate committee itself for a lifetime appointment and been given the American Bar Association stamp of approval, Yalof notes.
"It seems that if the nominee comes from the federal court, the Senate Judiciary Committee can just check that box," says Yalof, a political science professor at the University of Connecticut and author of Pursuit of Justices: Presidential Politics and the Selection of Supreme Court Nominees.
History provides plenty of evidence, however, that judicial experience may be no predictor of who will flourish on the high court and who will fail.
Consider Charles Whittaker: A conservative corporate lawyer by trade, he served on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri and the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals before being named to the Supreme Court in 1957 by President Eisenhower.
"He left five years later, overwhelmed by the task and considered a failure," Yalof says.
Similar examples are not difficult to find, Yalof says, mentioning the "highly undistinguished" Sherman Minton, an eight-year federal appeals court judge appointed to the high court in 1949 by President Truman.
And as the message machines crank up for Kagan's confirmation hearings this summer, conservatives such as Ed Whelan of the Ethics and Public Policy Center are expected to continue to characterize the 50-year-old New York native as – his words – "the nominee with the least amount of relevant experience" in 50-plus years.
That argument, says constitutional scholar Neal Devins, will only find traction in the unlikely event that Kagan missteps during her hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and conservatives find a way to link that with her lack of experience on the bench.
Not something ideological, he says, but something that suggests she doesn't understand the job of a judge, or the judicial craft.
Some have argued Kagan's lack of judicial experience means that insight into her legal reasoning is hard to come by.
But activists on the left have expressed their own concerns about the dearth of information about where Kagan stands on issues including abortion, gay rights, gun control, affirmative action, presidential powers and the death penalty.
Some leaders in the progressive legal community, many of whom would have preferred federal appeals court Judge Diane Wood as Obama's pick, said privately Monday that Kagan's lack of a substantial written record on key issues has alarmed them – particularly since, if confirmed, she would replace liberal Justice John Paul Stevens.
Garnett, the Notre Dame professor, says Kagan is by no means coming into the hearings with a blank slate. She has been a First Amendment law scholar, given testimony in her confirmation hearings for solicitor general, worked for the Clinton administration, written legal briefs and done consulting work, he says.
"It's not like somebody who is coming in with 10 years on the bench, but when you're a legal scholar, you have to put your views down on paper and own them," Garnett says.
Last year, seven Senate Republicans joined their Democratic counterparts to confirm Kagan as solicitor general by a vote of 61-31.
The fact that 31 senators voted against the president's pick, Devins says, reflects the political polarization in the Senate, a now-persistent condition that is reflected in the emerging attack on Kagan's level of experience.
For Yalof, the nomination of Kagan presents a back-to-the-future scenario: a throwback to a time, not so long ago, when already being a judge wasn't a unwritten prerequisite for the high court, and "proper experience" meant something quite broader than that conferred by a robe.
"It seems a return to what we thought was a bygone era," he says.


When logging in, this error message appears (see attachment). This happens in multiple browsers on multiple PC's.
A second bug is that once you login with a certain user name, you can't login with that same name in other browsers / on other PC's (when i am logged out with that user of course).
I have to clear the server/data folder in order to fix it.
Also users stay visible in the list, while they are already logged out (a long time ago).
And... when i try to login now with for example admin, it's logging me in with a different user name. So, it's all very buggy and not working well. I hope you will fix it soon, and add some basic functionality (like different color for different chatters for example).
The fourth bug can be solved by deleting the cookies in the browser.
I switched to version 1.7 now, as that version is working correctly and has rich features. I also changed the looks of the site (see http://www.studio26radio.nl and choose for "chat").

Smartphone vendors turn to chip sector for cutting edge
Author:Linki
Source:https://www.chinadaily.com.cn
An increasing number of Chinese smartphone vendors are marching into the chip sector, after realizing the importance of in-house research and development capabilities for the semiconductor sector.
Vivo, a major smartphone vendor, for instance, joined hands with South Korean tech giant Samsung to unveil a 5G chip in November, marking the former's latest push to showcase its increasing emphasis on enhanced research and development capabilities.
The Exynos 980 chip, which was jointly developed by the two companies, will debut on Vivo's X30 smartphone later this year.
Zhou Wei, vice-president of Vivo, said the two sides have cooperated closely with each other to improve the efficiency of product development. As a result, the X30 model, powered by Exynos 980, can hit the market two to three months ahead of schedule.
The Exynos 980 chip supports both non-standalone (NSA) and stand-alone (SA) networking modes, making it the second dual-mode 5G chip after Huawei's Kirin 990 5G. NSA and SA are two ways of constructing a 5G network, with the former still relying on existing 4G infrastructure for some functions.
Currently, most 5G smartphones unveiled in China only support NSA mode. But China will kick off the large-scale construction of an SA 5G network soon, so that 5G phones will have to support both modes in the future.
Vivo said more than 500 of its research and development engineers have partnered with Samsung in the past 10 months to jointly develop the chip. It has shared more than 400 features and functions it had accumulated with Samsung to complement the latter's platform.
Exynos 980 has an integrated 5G modem, which can enable a peak downloading speed of 2.55 Gbps in sub-6 GHz spectrum. It also can greatly improve energy efficiency.
Smartphone vendor Xiaomi Corp is also intensifying its inputs in the sector.
In 2014, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun termed the chip segment the "crown of the smartphone sector". Three years on, he has his own jewel in that crown - the Surge 1, Xiaomi's first in-house chip.
The technology tycoon has fond and vivid memories of a momentous instant that signifies Xiaomi's entry into the chip sector.
He recalls a night in September 2015 when, at 1:40 am, in a trial, the Surge 1 enabled the first call between a group of engineers and Lei. "My heart was surging with excitement at that moment. That's how the chipset got its name."
James Yan, research director at Counterpoint Technology Market Research, says that although the Surge 1 is still at the entry level, Xiaomi's attempts to make inroads into the competitive industry highlight its determination to differentiate its products from a crowd of rivals and to seek growth via innovation.

PURPOSE: When gauging diagnostic accuracy cognitive biases may lead to inaccurate estimates of certainty, predisposing clinicians to diagnostic errors. This study explored the relationship between diagnostic accuracy and measures of certainty for diagnoses based on consistent or inconsistent information. METHOD: The authors analyzed three experiments among 180 to 190 postgraduate trainees performing cardiac physical diagnoses using a simulator from 2010 to 2012. Each asked participants to assess diagnostic certainty. One experiment used a seven-point certainty scale and provided only simulated physical findings. Two assessed certainty continuously (probability 1%-100%) and included cases with inconsistent clinical information in addition to simulated physical findings. Relationships between certainty and accuracy were explored through descriptive statistics and nonparametric tests. RESULTS: Measures of certainty ranged widely (between 2 and 7, and 5%-100%). Relationships between accuracy and certainty varied depending on information consistency. In experiments providing only simulated findings, or consistent clinical data, diagnostic accuracy was associated with higher certainty (median 90% versus 75%, and 5/7 versus 4/7, both P < .001). Studies providing inconsistent data generated similar certainty among participants regardless of accuracy (median 75% versus 75%, P = .36; and 80% versus 85%, P = .60). CONCLUSIONS: Diagnostic accuracy was moderately associated with higher certainty only when clinical data were consistent. This correlation disappeared when incon sistent data were provided, possi bly reflecting changes in reasoning strategies among diagnostically success ful trainees. The relationship between certainty and diagnostic accuracy is context dependent. Certainty is an unreliable surrogate for diagnostic accuracy.
