SIE+M: The Core of Sinox
There are many reasons that the world comes to Sinox for locks, not least of which is a vertically integrated model for creating solutions. SIEM is a fully integrated system that manages all facets of the design, manufacture and sales processes for Sinox.
Sinox' s ongoing success in the business world for the last 40 years finds its source in its very own and unique approach to R&D via its natively grown SIEM team organization. Since its humble beginnings, the company had been defined in its every facet by the guidance, leadership and unifying force of its Founding Chairman C.K. Ling. As the company morphed into high growth mode so did the Sales, Research & Development and Design functions hitherto coalesced within his persona, have to find their distinctive directions and identities. Thus was spawned the SIEM team organizational structure which emancipated each function into a clearly defined and independent departments whilst maintaining a cohesive, collaborative and mutually supportive corporate ecosystem to take Sinox forward into the 21s century
The evolution of the SIEM organizational structure took its humble beginnings from the monthly scheduled meetings between Sales and R&D, a rotating report from different sale section: luggage, travel, pc, bicycle and hardware, R&D was subsequently further refined in 2006 when industrial Design became of age and the organizational structure formally took the name of SIE(Sales + Industrial Design + Engineering Design). The global economic crisis of 2008 clearly underlined the importance of productivity and manufacturing efficiency. Thus, in 2009, the Chairman formerly added Manufacturing to complete the system into SIEM
The essence of SIEM lies in information sharing and dissemination from the marketplace to apparatus of research & development, production, assembly and distribution can foster a wealth of real time data resulting in shorter time to market through better manufacturing planning and lower R&D costs.
Building on past accumulated planning and design experience, SIEM aims to optimize workflow, at the outset of any new product design common database and information databank are consulted to avoid engaging into costly unsuitable designs whilst maintaining the ultimate twin goals of east and cost effective assembly.
The essence of developing a new product is the ability to eventually bring it to market economically. Excessive creativity within R&D Departments has sometimes the trappings of resulting in overly designed, over spec, jack-of-all trade. Unwieldy products which, whilst they may be design prize-winners, cannot be efficiently mass manufactured and ultimately fail the test of market acceptance. The SIEM organizational structure has been the guardian of Sinox's 40 year success in maintaining best industry practice as well as keeping the fine balance of manufacturing excellence/efficiency vs. boldly, innovative designs.

By the mid-1960s, the Mekong Delta, with its verdant paddies and canal-side hamlets, was the rice bowl of South Vietnam and home to nearly 6 million Vietnamese. It was also one of the most important revolutionary strongholds during the Vietnam War. Despite its military significance, State Department officials were "deeply concerned" about introducing a large number of US troops into the densely populated area, fearing that it would be impossible to limit civilian carnage.
Yet in late 1968, as peace talks in Paris got under way in earnest, US officials launched a "land rush" to pacify huge swaths of the Delta and bring the population under the control of the South Vietnamese government in Saigon. To this end, from December 1968 through May 1969, a large-scale operation was carried out by the Ninth Infantry Division, with support from nondivision assets ranging from helicopter gunships to B-52 bombers. The offensive, known as Operation Speedy Express, claimed an enemy body count of 10,899 at a cost of only 267 American lives. Although guerrillas were known to be well armed, the division captured only 748 weapons.
In late 1969 Seymour Hersh broke the story of the 1968 My Lai massacre, during which US troops slaughtered more than 500 civilians in Quang Ngai Province, far north of the Delta. Some months later, in May 1970, a self-described "grunt" who participated in Speedy Express wrote a confidential letter to William Westmoreland, then Army chief of staff, saying that the Ninth Division's atrocities amounted to "a My Lay each month for over a year." In his 1976 memoir A Soldier Reports, Westmoreland insisted, "The Army investigated every case [of possible war crimes], no matter who made the allegation," and claimed that "none of the crimes even remotely approached the magnitude and horror of My Lai." Yet he personally took action to quash an investigation into the large-scale atrocities described in the soldier's letter.
I uncovered that letter and two others, each unsigned or signed only "Concerned Sergeant," in the National Archives in 2002, in a collection of files about the sergeant's case that had been declassified but forgotten, launching what became a years-long investigation. Records show that his allegations–of helicopter gunships mowing down noncombatants, of airstrikes on villages, of farmers gunned down in their fields while commanders pressed relentlessly for high body counts–were a source of high-level concern. A review of the letter by a Pentagon expert found his claims to be extremely plausible, and military officials tentatively identified the letter writer as George Lewis, a Purple Heart recipient who served with the Ninth Division in the Delta from June 1968 through May 1969. Yet there is no record that investigators ever contacted him. Now, through my own investigation–using material from four major collections of archival and personal papers, including confidential letters, accounts of secret Pentagon briefings, unpublished interviews with Vietnamese survivors and military officials conducted in the 1970s by Newsweek reporters, as well as fresh interviews with Ninth Division officers and enlisted personnel–I have been able to corroborate the sergeant's horrific claims. The investigation paints a disturbing picture of civilian slaughter on a scale that indeed dwarfs My Lai, and of a cover-up at the Army's highest levels. The killings were no accident or aberration. They were instead the result of command policies that turned wide swaths of the Mekong Delta into "free-fire zones" in a relentless effort to achieve a high body count. While the carnage in the Delta did not begin or end with Speedy Express, the operation provides a harsh new snapshot of the abject slaughter that typified US actions during the Vietnam War.

Native American–Themed Lodge in Mountain Foothills
Hints of ancient indigenous culture are still evident throughout New Mexico; cliff dwellings and etched rocks still stand, and in Albuquerque, feast-day celebrations honor Native American ancestors with festive dances in colorful vestments. Nativo Lodge looks to immerse its visitors in the area's rich heritage throughout their stay: in the two-tiered lobby, Navajo rugs with geometrical patterns flank paneling with hand-carved American Indian symbols. River rocks jut out of the walls and bar in the lounge area, and guests gather outside beneath a teepee for special events and regular hookah parties. Private balconies overlook the city or nearby Sandia Mountains in each guest room, and historical Native American photographs bedeck the walls alongside hanging woven baskets and framed dream catchers. All rooms are pet-friendly. At Nativo Lodge's Spirit Wind's Café, chefs craft a southwestern-style menu using seasonal ingredients from local farms. Amid pillars depicting scenes from Native American lore, nosh on the included breakfast in the morning and appetizers such as blue-corn-chip nachos during lunch or dinner.
Albuquerque, New Mexico: Rich Cultural Landscape with Historical Sites and Varied Museums
Nativo Lodge is tucked near the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, about 7 miles north of downtown Albuquerque. Because of the hotel's proximity to the I-25, travelers can quickly drive to many of the city's attractions. Albuquerque's rich tapestry of culture has been woven over many centuries, bearing influences from indigenous peoples, Spanish colonial settlers, and various other peoples; the town's history comes to life on the cobblestone streets of Old Town and at its still-active pueblos nearby. Downtown, the vast and varied breadth of local and international Hispanic and Latino art jolts the senses at the National Hispanic Cultural Center (tickets included in the junior-suite package). The permanent collection features oil paintings, sculptures, and other visual art of established contemporary artists, and rotating exhibits often showcase the works of emerging New Mexican artists. Among the diverse landscape of desert plants and trees at Petroglyph National Monument, dark basalt boulders bear the markings of prehistoric natives, and nearly 24,000 ancient images are carved into these rocks, depicting people, animals, symbols, and forbidden chili recipes.

Don't Freak Out About Albert Almora Talking About College
Did you think first round pick Albert Almora wasn't going to try and get as much money from the Chicago Cubs as possible? Wouldn't you?
Statistically speaking, this might be his only chance to score big bucks for his baseball talent, and he should try to get as much as he can.
That's why I wasn't worried or upset when I saw him saying things about going to college yesterday when he was asked about signing with the Cubs.
"My main priority now is college," Almora told reporters yesterday. "I just graduated high school and I have a full scholarship to the University of Miami, and that's all I'm looking forward to right now. What kid doesn't want to play Major League Baseball? And, when the time is right, that will happen. Right now, my main priority is the University of Miami."
"I trust my abilities, and I know what I can do on the field, but [signing] is not the priority right now," Almora went on. "The priority right now [is] we have to let everything, the process, play out and let the cards fall where they have to fall.
"I can't control that. That's something that Chicago has to talk to with their organization and come to an agreement."
He sure said "priority" a lot, huh?
Here's the thing: Almora is just playing the game. He's got a very savvy agent in Scott Boras, and he knows that it does him no good to say, "gee willackers, I can't wait to sign with the Cubs for whatever they offer me!"
I asked Kevin Goldstein last night if he thought Cubs fans should be worried about the possibility of Almora not signing, and while he noted there were some "whispers about some stuff" (aren't there always "whispers about some stuff" when Boras is involved?), Goldstein said he would still bet overwhelmingly that Almora would sign.
For my part, I'm really not too worried for two reasons.
First, and most importantly: Theo, Jed, and Jason wouldn't have used their first round pick – at sixth overall – on a kid about whom they had serious doubts on signing. Remember, there have been rumors connecting the Cubs and Almora for weeks, which suggests that this process started a long time ago (informally, of course). For all we know, Almora is more than happy to sign for his $3.25 million slot amount, but the Cubs came to the table with an initial offer of, say, just $2 million. If that's true, and Almora didn't start talking publicly about college, I would question his intelligence. The bottom line: this is a smart kid who knows that this is his time to get paid. He's just doing his part, and I say good for him.
The second reason I'm not too worried is because it isn't the end of the world if Almora doesn't sign. Let me be clear: I very much think Almora will sign, and I actually don't even think it's going to be a big fight. But, on the chance that something crazy happens, and Almora doesn't sign, the Cubs aren't screwed. Consider: if Almora doesn't sign, the Cubs lose $3.25 million from their bonus pool, but they were probably going to lose that amount anyway by signing him for that much. Further, as compensation for failing to sign Almora, the Cubs would get the 7th overall pick in 2013. No, that pick isn't worth as much in bonus money, but the 2013 Draft class is considered much better than this year's crop. And it's not even like the Cubs would lose a year of development on Almora, who's just 18 – if the Cubs took, for example, a college junior with that number 7 pick, they've actually just accelerated the time table of that prospect over Almora by a year or two (that is to say, Almora will be 19 by next year, but the Cubs' hypothetical replacement pick could be 20 or 21).
So, I'm pretty confident that we can all relax and let the process play out. The signing deadline is July 13.

After losing everything in fire, Manchester owner desperate to find dogBy PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 17. 2013 10:14PM
MANCHESTER - The owner of a dog missing since a fire destroyed an apartment building on Green Street earlier this month says her pet has been seen around the Queen City, and is hoping residents will help reunite them.
"I lost everything in that fire," said Brandy Jones. "I thought I lost my Sadie too, but now people are calling and telling me they have seen her. I just hope I can see her again someday."
'Sadie' is a pit bull blue tick hound mix, who has been missing since a three-alarm blaze tore through a 12-unit apartment building at 213 Green St. on Feb. 5, A dozen people, including seven adults and five children, were temporarily homeless after the blaze, which firefighters battled for more than four hours using eight trucks.
Missing after the flames were knocked down were Sadie and a cat.
"I grabbed her, and had her in a collar with a leash," said Jones. "She got really nervous and wriggled free though, and then she got away from me. I never saw her leave the building, but I heard from some people that they saw her get out. I haven't seen her since then."
Jones said posters showing Sadie were posted around the city by Granite State Dog Recovery volunteers, and that ever since calls have been coming in.
"There have been about 15 sightings," said Jones. "At first they were around Auburn Street and Central Street, but now they seem to have branched out. She seems likes she's expanding her territory a bit."
Sadie is described as weighing about 50 poundds, a reddish-brown color, with one blue eye and one brown eye. She also has an area of white on her chest. Anyone who spots her is asked to call Jones at 247-9392.
"She's really very friendly," said Jones. "She's the sweetest thing. I miss her, and I'm just hoping someone out there can help me find her."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A young woman charged with abducting a 5-year-old Philadelphia girl from school and raping her had frequently viewed Japanese anime depicting sexual torture, prosecutors disclosed Thursday.
The evidence was revealed as the trial was delayed until next week.
Prosecutors asked to introduce the video evidence involving sexual humiliation and bondage to persuade jurors that 21-year-old defendant Christina Regusters could have been the lone attacker. The girl suffered devastating injuries that required surgery.
"(This) is so far out of the realm of what an average juror would be used to," Assistant District Attorney Erin O'Brien argued. "The only way to establish motive and intent is to introduce this evidence."
However, Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey P. Minehart found the cartoon nature of the material too far removed from the crime, and ruled it inadmissible. He also said the material is not illegal in Pennsylvania.
"I think we're stretching it to say ..., as horrid and as vulgar as these images may be, that they can then be used as proof that she sexually abused a complaining witness," Minehart said.
He agreed to revisit the decision, though, if the defense implies that Regusters could not be sexually interested in girls or that other people must be involved.
Prosecutors will be allowed to present accusations that the former day care worker had molested a young female relative, and Minehart also allowed in computer searches about Muslim clothing and the destruction of DNA.
Police believe Regusters donned Muslim garb to pose as the child's mother and remove her from her kindergarten at Bryant Elementary School in west Philadelphia in January 2013, telling a substitute teacher she was taking her out for breakfast.
The crime stunned some parents in the city, given that the girl was abducted from her classroom and the only person charged was a woman.
The girl was blindfolded for much of her 18-hour ordeal, but later helped lead police to Regusters by describing details including a talking bird she heard in the house where she was held. She was found shivering under playground equipment, partially clothed, early the next morning.
"I've been stolen," she said to the man who found her.
Regusters had searched for the graphic anime just six hours before the 8:50 a.m. school abduction, O'Brien said. She had also searched for her criminal record and that of her father, she said, as Regusters fidgeted with a paper clip at the defense table. The details of those possible criminal records weren't revealed.
The trial, scheduled to start Thursday, was delayed until Monday to empanel more jurors and give defense lawyer W. Fred Harrison Jr. time to explore the new evidence. He had previously hoped to show at trial that other people were involved.
"The sexual events that take place in these animated pictures, that's not what happened in this case," Harrison argued Thursday.
The victim, now 7, is expected to testify next week. Prosecutors had originally planned to have her give videotaped testimony, but withdrew the motion Thursday, saying the jury needs to weigh her credibility.
Her family has a civil suit pending against the city.

Hi Franklin: This seems like a good topic. I have been using a FT-736 for about 10 years. I am on my second one due to a lightning strike. And the new one did have a PS failure after 5 years of continuous usage (I am one of the Mir Sysops). I have had limited access to other rigs on Field days and have eagerly read all articles and comments for other users. I my opinion, the FT-736 is still the best 6/2/440/1200 radio on the market. And if u cant find one new, the used ones are selling for between 900-1200 (usd). Pros: The FM circuit is a triple conversion, with built in 15 and 12k filters. The FM works great on weak signals FM including satellite FM. There is no other radio on the market with this combination of features. The bottom of the USA satellite band does not have a guard band to prevent any full time terrestrial unattended packet operations. This causes lots of FM qrm to bleed over into the weak signal satellite band. Any new radios will need rock solid filter to protect weak signals, or new laws to set up a guard band and only allow manned operations below the weak signal band. Satellite band, ITU 144-146, IARU 145.800 - 146.000 Unattended packet operations 145.700- 145.800 SSB: The selectivity of VHF rigs is usually much lower than the average HF rig in the similar ssb mode. Example. IC-735 HF SSB can listen to a S1 signal while a +10 signal is 5k away. However the FT-736 on 2-meters will be affected by a strong signal 5k away on SSB. And when you toss in a typical 15 db preamp, your SSB channel spacing on 2-meters jumps to 10k. I have not see any new radios for VHF/UHF which can perform much better. 736 Cons: I never got 9600 to work, some have Same with computer interface, but manual tuning is fine. Future Radio: With all due respect to the new 1 to 1300mc radios, i do not think its possible to still get better RX/TX performance on VHF/UHF than is possible with a dedicated VHF/UFH radio, such as a 736. The new radios may make it a little more convent, but they will have to compromise some where. Icom: Icom has the HF plus 6 meter all digital radio called the 756-Pro. The digital filters even make working 80 and 40 meters enjoyable. The digital filters are the key. When i went to counter for Icom at DAyton, i was surprised to find out that everyone at the counter was asking the same question as I was, "When is Icom going to Make a VHF/UHF/SHF 756 Version." The answer from the Icom guy was "There are no plans to make a VHF/UHF/SHF 756 Version" The crowd was very disappointed. It seems that the true weak signal crowd wanted a dedicated replacement for the FT-736 and not some super box. My dedicated Rig Wish List: RX 50-1300, AM, FM-5, FM-15, FM-25, SSB, ATV (pal, ntsc, FM and VSB) TX 6,2,220,440,900,1200 (and european bands), AM, FM-5, FM-15, FM-25, SSB, ATV (pal, ntsc, FM and VSB) Satellite modes and Digital data 1200 - 128,000 In the 756-Pro style. (i waited 12 years for icom to come up with a replacement for the IC-735, the 756Pro, i guess i can wait a few more years for some one to build a replacement for my FT-736) So Franklin: If you only want to buy one radio, go for simplicity and get the FT-847. If you want the Best for VHF/UHF, you can either buy the FT-736 or wait a few years. Miles Franklin Antonio wrote: > > Opinions please: What is the best satellite radio? > > (Hope this doesn't evolve into a debate about the meaning of the word > "best".

All local community members are invited to the Geneva College campus for the fifth annual Beaver Falls Community Crime Watch Day on Saturday, August 3. Beginning at 5:30 p.m., this fun, free and educational outdoor festival includes food, music, games, face painting, arts and crafts, and fireworks.
Plus, Iceburgh-the official mascot of the Pittsburgh Penguins-will be at the event from 6-7 p.m.
In addition to these activities, this non-profit event offers guests an inside look at local safety and law enforcement. Those attending have the opportunity to interact with officers from local and state police departments, bomb squad officers, local firemen, city council members, members of the District Attorney's Office and military recruitment officers.
Demonstrations about small fire extinguishing, police taser guns, military vehicles, fire trucks and rescue vehicles will be performed. Representatives from local non-profit organizations will also be in attendance. And tours of Geneva College will be provided throughout that day.

What Are The Benefits Of Using An Electric Bike?
For Getting Around Town
If you're living in a big city, you know the brutal traffic that comes with it. However, with an electric bike, you can actually beat traffic! By beating the speed of public transportation, you can arrive at your destination quicker and easier, and parking becomes a lot cheaper with your average commute costing you 5-8 cents!

Not only are you doing the Earth a healthy favor, but you're doing it for yourself too! By choosing an electric bike as your form of transportation, you will become more active and see drastic improvements in your coordination, even if you haven't ridden a bike for years. Your commute also just got less stressful, since you'll be spending more times outdoors in fresh air. Who wouldn't want a fresh start to their work day every day?
For Your Lifestyle
According to a recent National Household Travel Survey, half of all trips in the US are less than 3 miles, so why wouldn't biking make sense? Electric bikes can make any errand a quick and easy task.

About This Artwork
Édouard Manet
French, 1832-1883
Steamboat Leaving Boulogne, 1864
Oil on canvas
29 x 36 1/2 in. (73.6 x 92.6 cm)
Inscribed: Manet (lower right) and E.M. (on sail)
Potter Palmer Collection, 1922.425
This is one of Édouard Manet's earliest paintings of the sea, a subject to which he returned repeatedly. It is one of three or four works that he painted in Paris from sketches made on a vacation with his family in the northern port of Boulogne-sur-Mer. Though boldly brushed and almost calligraphic in form, the vessels remain identifiable as specific types. A side-wheel packet steamer heads up the Channel, leaving the slower sailing boats in its wake.

By Kelly Demo, CFCA preacher
Soccer has grown from an obscure game played by a handful of kids to being the most popular, organized sport for children in the U.S. With more than 3 million youth registered each year in formal leagues, soccer has firmly established itself as part of the American childhood.
Without knowing it, kids who play soccer here in the U.S. are aligning themselves with the millions, perhaps billions, of children worldwide who play soccer (more commonly known as ìfootballî). However, these kids in developing countries donít always experience soccer with minivans, uniforms, coaches and juice boxes waiting for them when they are done. These are the kids who find any round object and a group of friends and play wherever they can find an open space. They run barefoot, kicking the ball through a goal they have fashioned out of scrap metal or their imaginations.
Henry Flores, director of the CFCA Communications Center in El Salvador, says that CFCA staff will often organize soccer games with the scholarship students because they find this to be a great way for staff to connect with the youth.
ìWith these games we are telling the students, ëWe want to spend time with you!í î Henry also observes that soccer is only fun when you play with others. It is a community sport. It unifies responsibility, ability and discipline.
"Plus, you donít need lots of equipment, just a 25-cent ball and a small space in your community. You often see children in the different communities who spend hours playing street soccer. When a vehicle is passing trough you hear, ëGAME OFF / GAME ON!í to let the children know."
Often, when there have been teen mission awareness trip groups, the staff will organize soccer games because it is a simple way to break the ice, create community and strengthen bonds of friendship. "And," says Henry, "You need no translator for it."
In your next letter, have your soccer kid ask their sponsored friend about "football" in their country. Do they enjoy playing? Does their country have a national soccer team? Talk with them about the idea that they are in solidarity with their friend simply by playing soccer. What similarities does your child see in the way their friend plays football, and how soccer is experienced here in the States? What are the differences?

Korean airline says no to Apple, Dell laptops
Even machines not affected by battery recalls
Korean Air has become the latest airline to effectively ground notebooks from Apple and Dell. The carrier has banned travellers from bringing those companies' portable computers into aircraft cabins unless the laptops' batteries have been removed first.
The ban applies to all Apple iBook and PowerBook notebooks and all Dell portables, and a terse statement from the airline indicated it will not even permit models unaffected by the two manufacturers' product recalls to be brought on board with the battery in place.
Korean Air passengers can check their batteries in and retrieve them at their destination, we understand, but we're not sure how that squares with broader air transport regulations that lithium-based batteries should not be placed in check-in luggage but must be included in carry-on baggage.
Last month, Australian airline Qantas told travellers it would not allow Dell or Apple notebooks to be used on board its aircraft with the batteries in place. Like Korean Air, Qantas will permit battery-less laptops to be used with on-board power feeds. ®

No musical life has been told more often than Wagner's. Biographies have wafted incense around him, or been incensed by him. Their authors have seen him as lofty philosopher or opportunist, as seer or dungheap of prejudices, as wide-eyed revolutionary or dark patron of fascism–as, in any event, a colossus in the world, a figure of immense power and authority, for good or ill. Standing on so high a column of books, he almost has to be viewed as a monument, whether to be revered or decried.
The subtitle of Joachim Köhler's Wagner biography, The Last of the Titans, suggests nothing less. The reference is to the title of the composer's early opera Rienzi, the Last of the Tribunes, about the rise and fall of a political leader in fourteenth-century Rome, and also to a comment made by Marie von Wittgenstein, who knew Wagner through her stepfather Franz Liszt: "He cursed humanity for refusing to see that he was a Titan and that Titans should not be measured by ordinary standards."
Titans who have to protest their Titanship, however, are Titans of a poor sort. And though Köhler sees his subject as "one of those people who do not adapt to reality but force reality to adapt to them," the image he evokes is that of a man who spent his life trying again and again to restage his early childhood. While holding a clear view of the composer's importance, and of the manifoldness of that importance, Köhler pursues his thorough research with a fresh outlook and gives us a new Wagner: little Richard.
The one reality Wagner could not force was the memory of his childhood. He was born in Leipzig in 1813, into a family from the lower end of the bourgeoisie and only semi-respectable. His mother, Johanna Rosine, had been a prince's mistress in her teens and then married a civil servant, Friedrich Wagner. By the time of Richard's birth she had eight older children to neglect. Friedrich died when the future composer was 6 months old, and Johanna Rosine married Ludwig Geyer, a theater man of multiple minor talents as actor, painter and playwright, with whom she had been conducting an affair, and who may have been, as Wagner suspected, his true father. Parent or stepparent, Geyer was a man to resent. He could be blamed for consuming Johanna Rosine's attention, and though he died when the boy Wagner was 8, the damage was done. Nor was it reversed. Partly for the reason of his schooling, Wagner was farmed out to his uncles. The one source of light and love in his young life, Köhler suggests, was his sister Rosalie, ten years older and already a professional actress by the time of Geyer's death. In the theater of the young Wagner's imagination, Geyer was the demon king, Johanna Rosine the lost and longed-for mother, and Rosalie the fair, consoling princess.
Rosalie died while giving birth, when Wagner was in his mid-20s. He construed her death as a sacrifice, made, in Köhler's odd phrase, "to restore him to the straight and narrow." It did more than that. It gave him his central subject, that of the woman whose loving death brings redemption to the hero. So, four years after Rosalie, Senta would die for the doomed central character of Wagner's first mature opera, The Flying Dutchman. So Elisabeth, already dead, would redeem Tannhäuser. So Isolde, singing over her dead Tristan, would transcend death in dying. So Brünnhilde, similarly unleashing what is both love song and elegy for Siegfried, would bring about the end of a flawed universe.

Why would North Korea launch a rocket into space now? The act invites additional sanctions for a country where the U.N. says millions are going hungry, and the bitter cold had only increased the risk of the launch becoming the latest of several embarrassing failures.
Some of Pyongyang's reasons are calendar-related: It's been 100 years since the birth of North Korea's founder, Kim Il Sung; nearly a year since the death of his son and successor, Kim Jong Il, and the first year in power for young leader Kim Jong Un. It's also a period of political transition for four countries with especially high stakes in the North: South Korea, the United States, China and Japan.
North Korea insists it launched a satellite Wednesday for peaceful purposes, but the act fits perfectly with its history of using carefully timed provocations to show the world it has dangerous weapons and must be negotiated with. At home, the launch drums up North Korean unity and allows Pyongyang to cultivate an "us against them" mentality, part of the regime's survival strategy.
After lying low for several months, Pyongyang raised its "Remember me?" hand with an announcement about a December launch. It was issued just two days after South Korea aborted its own rocket launch, and four days after campaigning officially began in Seoul for the Dec. 19 elections that will usher in a new South Korean president.
The launch also sends a message to China, the U.S. and Japan, all focused on elections and assembling new governments, that they shouldn't keep North Korea, defiant even when it is needy, on the back burner for too long.
The launch is particularly complicated for China. Beijing remains North Korea's biggest ally and the linchpin to its economic survival, but Pyongyang has long shown it will do as it wishes.
North Korea announced the launch window just one day after Beijing sent an envoy to Pyongyang bearing a letter to Kim Jong Un from new leader Xi Jinping. "We are concerned," a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said after the announcement, without clarifying whether the issue came up for discussion in Pyongyang.
Japan holds elections on Dec. 16, and newly re-elected President Barack Obama will be inaugurated to a second term in a few weeks. With the South Korean president taking office in February, it could be months before the region is ready to rethink North Korea policy.
North Korea also has domestic reasons for justifying a rocket launch before the year's end.
Nearly four years ago, the regime in Pyongyang set an ambitious goal for its people: to "open the gate to becoming a strong and prosperous nation in 2012" — the year that North Korea founder Kim Il Sung would have turned 100.
The economy, science and technology were pinpointed as three areas of focus after decades of lagging behind its fast-developing neighbors. Decrepit shops were torn down to make way for cavernous supermarkets stocked with flat-screen TVs and Coca-Cola. The State Academy of Sciences sent scholars abroad to study the latest agricultural techniques. Kim Jong Il sent HP and Dell computers to the nation's top universities.
Schoolchildren from Samjiyon in the far north to Kaesong near the border with South Korea began learning about North Korea's ambitious space and nuclear programs. Students painted satellites on classroom walls, and playgrounds were installed with miniature rockets instead of slides.
In April 2009, North Korean scientists tested a three-stage rocket from an east coast launch pad. This year, two days before Kim Il Sung's April 15 birthday, scientists attempted to launch a rocket from a new launch pad on the west coast, but it broke up just 90 seconds after liftoff.
North Koreans treated it as a celebration, anyway. Pyongyang residents were sanguine about the failure, noting that China and Russia struggled with their rockets, too, before reaching space. The failure and ensuing global condemnation did little to dampen festivities, and the city went ahead with a massive birthday fireworks show over the Taedong River.
If the April launch attempt was seen as a gift to Kim Il Sung, the December success may be an homage to Kim Jong Il.
Kim, who ruled for 17 years under a "military first" policy before his Dec. 17, 2011, death, made getting a satellite into space one of the last goals of his leadership. In his honor, North Korea's three satellites have been dubbed "Kwangmyongsong," or Lode Star, in honor of the bright star that legendarily appeared in the skies when Kim was born.
Two weeks before the first anniversary of his death, North Korea has already quieted down amid an unofficial state of mourning. State media are churning out odes to the late leader, honoring everything from his skill as a composer to the workaday parka he famously wore while making "on the spot" field trips by train.
A grand commemoration can be expected to mark Kim's death, and a rocket mounted with at satellite named after the Dear Leader could end up being the biggest firework of them all.
Outside observers consider Wednesday's liftoff North Korea's first successful satellite launch, and although North Korea had claimed the 2009 launch was also successful, this certainly boosts the standing of Kim Jong Un.
Though omnipresent now, he had been a mystery when he was revealed several years ago as the heir-apparent. One of Kim Jong Un's early tasks as successor-in-training was to oversee the launch of the April 2009 rocket, which he monitored from the command center.
Throughout his succession campaign and during this first year of leadership, the 29-year-old has been characterized by state propaganda as young, modern, tech-savvy and forward-thinking. He has been working to build a base of loyalty among North Koreans struggling with chronic economic hardship by promising them a higher standard of living and a better future. The rocket and satellite are portrayed by state media as a symbol of the nation's future.
Washington, Seoul and other adversaries see a more sinister objective in the launch.
Experts note that sending a satellite into space uses a similar technology as firing a long-range missile capable of striking American soil. The U.N. Security Council warns that a North Korean rocket fired for civilian purposes or otherwise would violate a ban on developing its missile and nuclear programs. The Security Council, which has already passed two rounds of sanctions, was to meet behind closed doors Wednesday to discuss its response to the launch.
The North Koreans are not naive about the distinction between satellite launches and missiles. They see their nukes as a bulwark against U.S. military might in the region. The 2009 rocket launch was followed within weeks by another, more worrying test: a nuclear bomb.
With a successful rocket launch, the U.S. and other countries fear North Korea's next step will be to master miniaturization technology so their nukes are small enough to be loaded onto missiles.
Pyongyang's position to Washington: Sign a peace treaty and withdraw your troops from South Korea, and then maybe we'll get rid of our bombs.

Memorial service for Councilor Ray Burton set for Dec. 14 at Plymouth State UniversityBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
November 12. 2013 8:03AM
Update: A public memorial service for the late Executive Councilor Ray Burton will be held on Saturday, Dec. 14 at 1 p.m. at the Plymouth State University Student Union Building, Burton aide B.J. Perry said Wednesday evening. Private services are being held separately for Burton's family.
(Our earlier report on Burton's passing follows.)
BATH -- Executive Councilor Raymond S. "Ray" Burton was remembered Tuesday as a passionate, enduring, kind and even legendary public servant following his early morning death at his home after a battle with kidney cancer.
Burton, 74, died just more than two weeks after announcing that his fight for his life would prevent him from running for a 19th term on the Executive Council and 10 days after he made his final public appearance at a ceremony and reception in his honor in the heart of his beloved council District 1, which he represented for 34 of the past 36 years.
He first disclosed his cancer in an interview with the New Hampshire Union Leader last February. He died just before 2 a.m. on Tuesday at his home surrounded by friends, according to his spokesman and friend, B.J. Perry.
Perry said services for Burton's family will be private and that a public memorial services is also planned, with details to be released in the next several days.
Gov. Maggie Hassan, ordering flags statewide lowered to half-staff, said, "For nearly 40 years, Ray Burton stood up and fought for the people and communities of the North Country with a passion that can never be matched. We have lost one of the most dedicated, caring and unwavering public servants that the State of New Hampshire has ever known."
Burton, a Republican, was elected to the Executive Council in 1976, but lost in a GOP primary two years later. In 1980, however, voters returned Burton to the council, and he won reelection every two years through 2012. He also served for many years as a Grafton County Commissioner.
Burton's council victories were almost always landslides, sometimes with only token opposition. Yet, Burton always seemed to be on a never-ending campaign tour, appearing at even the smallest events in his district, always running, he often said, as though "I'm one vote behind."
His slogan, "Burton for Certain," appeared on all types of items he would hand out at events, from combs to baseball caps, and even on pot holders declaring, "No problem too hot to handle."
He was known in his council district, which stretches from the Canadian border to the Upper Valley and to areas just 20 miles north of Concord, for his relentless commitment to constituent service and his personal relationships with not only elected officials and prominent residents, but also with average Granite Staters.
"For the people Ray represented," Hassan said, "he was more than an executive councilor or county commissioner. He was a member of the family. If a challenge or problem ever arose, you could call Ray Burton and he would do everything in his power to help.
"If a business, a student, a community leader was being honored, Ray Burton would be the first to applaud. If there was a parade, a pot luck dinner, a public meeting, you knew that Ray Burton would be there," the governor recalled.
Just 10 days ago, Burton he made his final public appearance at a ceremony for new scenic overlook in his name on Route 302 in Bretton Woods, followed by a reception at the Mount Washington Resort.
Burton, clearly pleased by the large turnout and flood of warm wishes, arrived in his "parade car," a yellow 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88.
The most controversial period of Burton's long career came in the fall of 2005. Then-Gov. John Lynch and the state's congressional delegation joined in calling for Burton to resign after the Union Leader reported that he knowingly employed a convicted child sex offender on several of his campaigns.
Burton apologized, said he personally exercised "strict supervision" over the aide during campaign events where children were present and said he would not hire him again. It was then reported that the aide, despite his record, had landed jobs in state government as a toll attendant and liquor store clerk.
Burton refused to comment on those jobs. He flatly refused mounting calls to resign, saying instead he would leave the decision on his political future up to the voters.
By the next election, in the fall of 2006, the controversy had died down and he was reelected in a landslide.
Hassan noted that in the final months of his life, "Even as his health prevented him from attending in person, Ray refused to miss Executive Council meetings, participating by phone without missing a beat or a vote."
"As much as any other person that I have ever known, Ray Burton understood the deep history and recognized the promising future of the Granite State," Hassan said. "With his passing, a hole has been left in the hearts and souls of all Granite Staters."
Burton served with nine governors, including current Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who called him "a great friend" and "incredible advocate for the people of northern New Hampshire."
Former Gov. John H. Sununu said Burton's service "stands as the model of what makes our state great. Ray was always there to serve his constituents and he never let them down. He will never be replaced."
Burton served with a long list of fellow councilors over the years. One of his newest colleagues, Colin Van Ostern of Concord, who is 40 years Burton's junior, cited his "extraordinary and humbling legacy," saying he "left a model of service that will live on."
State Senate President Chuck Morse, R-Salem, called Burton "a tireless and effective fighter for the people, places, and way of life that defined his beloved North Country," while Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro, said Burton "never allowed policy makers to lose sight of the great people and unique places that make up the state's North Country."
House Speaker Terie Norelli, D-Portsmouth, said, "His legacy lives on in the actions of current and future public servants that he inspired, empowered and educated." House Republican Leader Gene Chandler of Bartlett, a Burton constituent, said Burton "is simply irreplaceable, and he will be profoundly missed by all."
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a former state Attorney General, said Burton "saw public service as a calling and a true joy," and was "an extraordinarily respected voice" at the State House, while U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster called him one of the state's "finest public servants, kindest souls and most steadfast leaders."
Chief Justice Linda Stewart Dalianis, speaking on behalf of the Supreme Court, said that state lost one of its "most enduring public servants" and cited his "unparalleled" dedication to his constituents and "remarkable legacy."
State Republican Party Chair Jennifer Horn said Burton "set the gold standard for public service in our state," while Democratic Chair Raymond Buckley called him "a legend who can never be replaced. Our state is a better place as a result of Ray's service and accomplishments, and his memory will live on for years to come."

Mazzaglia's mother to her son: Marriott family 'in agony'
Union Leader Correspondent
UNH student's killer withdraws request to miss sentencing hearing
The mother of convicted killer Seth Mazzaglia told her son last week in a recorded prison phone call that the family of murdered UNH student Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott was "in agony," and has "a right to confront you" at Mazzaglia's sentencing Thursday.
The recording of the Aug. 6 call between Heather Mazzaglia and her son, who is incarcerated at New Hampshire State Prison in Concord, has been entered into evidence at Strafford County Superior Court.
The transcript was submitted by state prosecutors, who read a portion of it in court in a Tuesday hearing that addressed Mazzaglia's request last week to not attend his Thursday sentencing.
Mazzaglia's attorneys withdrew that request after the hearing, and after Judge Steven Houran had declined to immediately issue a ruling.
Mazzaglia's sentencing remains scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday.
Up to 11 of Marriott's family members and friends could speak, according to court documents.
Mazzaglia will have the right to speak, as well.
He indicated in the Aug. 6 conversation with his mother that he didn't want to hear what Marriott's family members might have to say.
"I already know what everyone's gonna say there so why the hell do I have to be there," Mazzaglia said. "It's a waste of my time."
"Yeah well it's, it's for them," his mother replied, according to the transcript.
Mazzaglia also claimed that he's innocent of killing and raping Marriott on Oct. 9, 2012, in the Dover apartment he shared with his former girlfriend, Kathryn McDonough.
"If I had been found innocent of the big stuff like I should have been, and like I am, now then it might be a different story," he said. "Then, then I might have some sympathy."
"Well," his mother replied. "Yeah all you can do is regret your part in it."
Mazzaglia, 31, was found guilty on June 27 of two charges of first-degree murder, one for purposely strangling Marriott and the other for committing an act of violent sexual assault on her body before, after or while killing her.
McDonough was the state's key witness and testified that she saw Mazzaglia strangle Marriott with a rope after Marriott had rebuffed his sexual advances, and as McDonough watched numbly while sitting near a window.
McDonough is serving prison time for hindering prosecution and testified as part of a plea agreement that granted her immunity from charges that could arise from her statements.
In the days immediately following Marriott's death, she told public defense lawyers – as seen in a video played in court during Mazzaglia's nearly month-long trial – that Marriott had died of suffocation during rough sex with her and Mazzaglia.
McDonough later changed that story in statements to a grand jury and in court.
Recorded jail calls between Mazzaglia and McDonough in weeks following Marriott's death also were played during his trial in June, indicating Mazzaglia had reason to know his conversation with his mother last week would be recorded, as well.
He again referred specifically to the Marriott family and Thursday's sentencing.
"Yeah but I'm gonna have to sit there for an hour and a half listening to them yell and whine and bitch and moan and scream about how I'm a monster who killed someone when I'm not," he told his mother. "That's what I'm literally gonna have to listen to for the whole time."
After an apparent pause in the conversation, Heather Mazzaglia spoke in struggling language about what Lizzi Marriott's parents have gone through.
"So anyway. Anyway. I'm, I mean you can, they're, they're in misery, I mean they're in agony, their, their daughter is lost. I would be the same if it were you but you know, you have to sympathize with what they've lost," she said.
After Mazzaglia again said that his "preference would be not to attend the sentencing hearing on the 14th," his mother disagreed.
"I think you have to be there to be sentenced," she said. "I think they have a right to confront you because the jury found you guilty."
Mazzaglia faces an automatic sentence of life without parole on either first-degree murder conviction. A court document filed last month states that the latter charge, involving sexual assault, will be used for sentencing purposes Thursday.
Mazzaglia also was found guilty of conspiracy of falsifying physical evidence and conspiracy to commit tampering with witnesses.

A Winchester father facing murder charges in the death of his 10 year old talked to 27 NEWSFIRST about the events leading up to her death.
In an exclusive interview, Patrick and Joy Watkins say a weekend outing ended in the tragedy.
10-year old Michaela died Sunday at her Winchester home.
Her father, Patrick says she fell in the bathtub Saturday night, hitting her head while receiving burns on her body.
Mr. Watkins says he and his wife, Joy quickly tended to the burns. But, then he says she fell down the stairs after getting out of the bathtub.
That night, Mr. Watkins says she seemed okay when the family watched a movie together. The next day he says they went to the Red River Gorge where they began to see problems with Michaela.
Watkins says on the way home they noticed she was having trouble breathing.
He admits at that point they should have called for help, but didn't. 45 minutes after arriving home, Watkins says he found Michaela dead in her bed.
Watkins feels she died from the fall and being burned in the bathtub a day earlier.
Watkins says the allegations that he and his wife were abusing Michaela and their other three kids is untrue. He says his daughter has only been living with him for the last year and before that she was sexually abused.
Patrick and Joy Watkins say the other three children that lived with them have been taken by social services. They say they have been threatened a number of times by inmates who have seen their story on the news.
Visitation for Michaela Watkins will be held Friday evening at the Franklin Avenue Church of God in Winchester. A private funeral will be held for the family. Michaela will be buried at Clairmont Memorial Gardens.

Edible flowers at Larnicol Chocolaterie - getting ready for Easter?
AM I imagining that the bug toy runs on macaron wheels?ReplyDelete
PS And in fact macaron wheels with lousy feet?ReplyDelete
Quel joli blog ! A la fois gourmand et créatif !
A bientôt !
My favorite is the macrons on the paint palletReplyDelete
Your flowery watercolors with macarons are a delight, Carol--all the wonderful spring colors are putting me in the mood, too. Lovely!ReplyDelete
Tu es la! Je suis jalouse!ReplyDelete
Flowers and macarons...love it!! I love all, but especilly the flowers, your painting (as always!) and that palette of flower-colored macarons! Great!! xxReplyDelete
Oh my gosh that macaron palette is so adorable!ReplyDelete
Three more Venice things, which sound touristy but aren't really:
If you're never done it, take the elevator to the top of the Campinale - for the view - but check the bell schedule first - if you're up there when they ring, it hurts - trust me
Across the way, the Doge's Palace has a (guided only) tour of the off-limits top floors - the spiel is very touristy, but what you see isn't, including the amazing framing that holds up the ceiling of the major rooms below - called "The Secret Tour" - and you get free entry to rest of Palace too - (tour done in language groups, English 2 or 3 times a day IIRC)
The two Pinault museums show contemporary art, and the buildings are amazing - the Dogana is now open, in a unequaled location, and the Grassi (up the Grand Canal) has the best museum food we found - had a delightful lunch - and if you go to Ca Rezzonico across the way, which is worth the time, do go all the way up to the somewhat boring museum on the top floor for the views out the side and back windows: one down the canal, the other back over Dorsoduro
Have fun!
Wow, you're right, they have an amazing collection of colors !!!
Where did you here about this idbyme website ? Have you tried yet ?
I love all, but especilly the flowers, your paintingReplyDelete

OSSINING, N.Y. – Hurricane Sandy caused flooding and power outages throughout Ossining and Briarcliff Manor, but local pest control agencies said it could also be causing pests like mice and rats to invade homes near the Hudson River.
Pest control agencies in Westchester and the Hudson Valley said calls have increased 10 to 20 percent in the last three months compared to previous years and that Hurricane Sandy could be the cause. Many rats and wild mice live near abundant food sources like lakes and rivers, according to Critter Control of the Hudson Valley . While it is difficult to track their patterns, it is likely that many rats and mice fled the Hudson River when it flooded during Hurricane Sandy, said Errol Fisher, president of Elmsford-based Citadel Pest Control .
"We typically get calls for mice and rats at this time of year because they are fleeing into homes to get warm but overall we've seen more than a 10 percent increase this year, especially after Hurricane Sandy," Fisher said, adding that his company has seen a higher increase in Ossining and Briarcliff Manor. "When they are displaced from their homes that are in close proximity of the water and it floods, they can move up into homes to try to survive."
Mickey Wright, owner of Critter Control of the Hudson Valley , said it is possible that Hurricane Sandy also helped decrease the rat and mice population along the river. Wright noted that the company had seen a 10 to 20 percent increase in calls this year throughout Westchester County.
"We had a very warm winter last year so the populations of most animals, especially rodents, were way up this year before Hurricane Sandy," Wright said. "Sandy had an impact for sure in bringing that down as it may have destroyed some dens. I don't know that it would have permanently chased them out and into homes but it's possible that's been a reason for the increase in calls."
Fisher and Wright recommended that residents take several precautions in preventing rodents from entering their homes. They agreed that the first step in prevention is sealing up all holes that could lead into homes or garages.
"It's very important that this is done well because a mouse can fit into a hole the size of a dime and mice and rats can both chew softer materials to make bigger holes," Fisher said. "The most effective and humane method of preventing rodents is sealing up all cracks and holes so they can't get inside."
While rat traps, glue pads and other rodent prevention merchandise is easily available, both agreed that the methods are often ineffective.
"Placing traps is not that easy to do right and can be dangerous for little children and pets," Wright said. "We get a lot of calls for live trapping and that's fine if the mice haven't made dens in your home but if they have, it's very likely they'll return in the next two days. Overall, trying to trap rodents yourself can be harmful and bottom line it's not effective."

Only WE Can Save the Sky Lights, Magi!
Calling all Magi—the moment that you all have been waiting for has finally come! ShadowQuest is officially open at Great Wolf Lodge – Wisconsin Dells and is set to open at six more Great Wolf Lodge resorts this fall.
We kicked off ShadowQuest's World Premiere with an extra special Grand Opening Event at Great Wolf Lodge – Wisconsin Dells last week. The night was filled with pixies, yetis and (most importantly) Magi.
After walking the green carpet (our unique take on a traditional red carpet), the Magi and their families had a chance to take pictures with the ShadowQuest characters—Lumina, Ivan and Malaki.
With wands and guide books in hand, families were welcomed by Master Magi herself, Kim Schaefer, CEO of Great Wolf Resorts, Inc., and given a very special message from Lumina, leader of the light pixies. Once the Magis' mission was made known to them, they set off on their quest to save the light from the evil yeti Malaki.
To keep the Magi nourished on their quest, a special ShadowQuest-themed menu was prepared for the event. My favorite? The dark chocolate noodle spiders and red velvet cake eyeball pops… they were far more delicious than they were scary!
I had been counting down the days to the ShadowQuest Grand Opening, and it was definitely everything that I had thought it would be (and more)! It was so exciting to see families feverishly working together to conquer this new quest. It was even more exciting to know that these families were among the first to experience this brand new adventure, and their excitement and passion were seen and shared by all.
In addition to playing ShadowQuest at Great Wolf Lodge – Wisconsin Dells, it will also open this fall at six other Great Wolf Lodge locations: Grand Mound, Poconos, Williamsburg, Grapevine, Mason and Concord. The official dates of the Grand Opening weekends are still to be determined, so be sure to stay tuned to find out exact dates.
Another great thing about ShadowQuest: current Magi can use their same wands to play this new, live-action adventure game. ShadowQuest uses the same technology as its predecessor, MagiQuest, so even though you can only play one game at a time, you can still use your favorite wand for both!

First, she pulls on the surgical gloves. Then, Dr. Nahid Bhadelia climbs into a Tyvek suit resembling baggy white coveralls. Over that, she dons rubber boots, an apron, a gown, and another pair of gloves. Then, she covers her head in a hood with a clear plastic front, strapping the attached air-filtering device to her waist.
With practice, Bhadelia can get into this protective garb in about 10 minutes. In recent weeks, she has been practicing, again and again, mindful of every step, especially the high-risk task of removing clothing that, in a clinic setting, could be soiled with dangerous microbes.
It will not be comfortable in the African heat, but Bhadelia is confident this equipment will keep her safe in Sierra Leone, the heart of history's worst Ebola outbreak, where she is scheduled to go next week.
Bhadelia, an epidemiologist at Boston Medical Center, is traveling with two other Americans under the auspices of the World Health Organization. They will fly into the capital city of Freetown, meet up with other physicians, and head into the countryside.
Is she scared? "Yes. It would be cavalier not to be," Bhadelia said. "What you do in this situation is you look at it and you say, 'Can I contribute?' In my mind, what I can contribute is much higher than the fear that I have for my own safety."
Bhadelia's mission is chiefly humanitarian, but her trip is directly related to her other role in Boston, as infection control director for Boston University's National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories, which is working, amid local controversy, toward approval as a Biosafety Level-4 lab. If all the approvals are obtained, the lab will study the highest-risk microbes, starting with Ebola and its cousin, Marburg.
Ronald Corley, associate director of the BU high-security lab, said Bhadelia's experience in Sierra Leone will be helpful in Boston, where he said it's only a matter of time before someone arrives at Logan Airport with Ebola or a new infectious disease. "To have a physician here who has experience on the ground, seeing patients who have hemorrhagic disease and working with the caretakers there will be incredibly valuable to us," he said.
Bhadelia had been conferring with doctors at the nation's 10 other high-security labs about how the institutions would respond in the unlikely event a worker became exposed to a germ under study, or if someone sick with a dangerous bug landed at the local airport, considered the more likely scenario. Realizing none of them had even seen an Ebola case, the physicians contemplated traveling to Sierra Leone for the annual outbreak of Lassa fever, a similar but less lethal illness.
Then Ebola hit. Dr. George F. Risi, who is in charge of infection control at the National Institutes of Health's Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana, contacted the WHO and began planning a trip, expected to last two or three weeks. Risi, Bhadelia, and a nurse from Montana will travel from Freetown 200 miles to Kenema, bringing gowns, gloves, and masks to protect workers. (The air-purifying mask that Bhadelia has practiced using is protection beyond what is strictly needed because Ebola is not airborne.) The visiting medical professionals will care for sick patients and advise on infection control.
"It's real-world experience," Risi said, "as opposed to what we read about. What kind of adaptations should we make? There's an enormous amount we are hoping to learn from the providers who are there."
Risi described Bhadelia, 36, as brilliant and compassionate, adding, "It's just always a little daunting to see someone so young be so well trained and to know so much."
It would be hard to find a person better prepared for this journey.
Born in India and raised in Brookline, Bhadelia said she has always been concerned with global health and fascinated with infectious diseases.
"She always wanted to do something to make a difference," recalled her father, Dr. Rafeeque Bhadelia, a neuroradiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
'What you do in this situation is you look at it and you say, "Can I contribute?" '
The BU doctor's sister, Afsan, a researcher with the Harvard Global Equity Initiative, travels the world studying how to design health systems that fairly distribute limited resources. Social justice, she said, was part of the upbringing for all three children in the family. "It was instilled in us," she said.
So as an undergraduate at Tufts, Nahid Bhadelia majored in not just biology but also peace and justice studies.
She read Laurie Garrett's book "The Coming Plague" as a sophomore and knew then that her career would focus on infectious disease, especially emerging infections. In a recent blog post, Bhadelia explained her fascination with infectious disease, saying it cuts across "all aspects of human life, ranging from culture to economics to religious beliefs and beyond. . . . It is the frontier of where man discovers his relation to the universe of living things around him."
In the mid-1990s, Bhadelia worked with HIV patients in India. As a graduate student, she traveled to Nicaragua, where she and colleagues hiked six or seven hours a day to bring basic health care to remote villages.
In addition to her medical training at Tufts and Columbia, Bhadelia earned a master's degree in international affairs and human security from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
As with so many accomplished people, Bhadelia has a talent separate from her career: She is a photographer.
Bhadelia plans to bring her camera to Sierra Leone and, if time and Internet connections permit, she will blog and post photos for the world to see, in the hope of making "the faraway and scary a lot less faraway and scary."
The video below demonstrates how to use the equipment needed to take care of patients with dangerous infections.
