Today I visited SACH, a very special place. I was deeply inspired. I admire greatly the work the volunteers are doing to save a child's heart.

"Save A Child's Heart (SACH) is one of the largest undertakings in the world, providing urgently needed pediatric heart surgery and follow-up care for indigent children from developing countries. Based in Israel, our mission is to improve the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children from countries where the heart surgery they need is unobtainable.
Every 29 hours a desperately ill child from a developing country is saved in the pediatric cardiac surgical unit of the Save a Child's Heart medical facilities in Israel or during one of our medical missions to a developing country. Thousands of children from poor families around the world are alive today because of a small group of medical professionals who volunteer their time and expertise to perform cardiac surgery and train medical personnel.
SACH saves children with congenital heart defects who have almost no chance of surviving to adulthood in their native countries, and saves their lives with no political, cultural, religious, or racial preference whatsoever. Based in Israel, our mission is to improve the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children from countries where the heart surgery they need is unobtainable.
Save A Child's Heart also works to multiply the effectiveness of its resources outside of Israel by training medical personnel from developing countries. The ultimate goal of SACH is actually to create "Centers of Competence" around the world, which will enable local medical personnel to provide these life saving services on their own. This is a full outreach training program that brings doctors and nurses to the SACH center for in-depth, postgraduate training; it also sends staff overseas to provide this education to local medical professionals, as well as to perform surgeries side-by-side with them.
Until our ultimate goal is achieved, children with congenital heart defects will continue to be brought to Israel for surgery and other cardiac care. More than 4000 children from more than fifty countries have already been saved directly by SACH personnel, while thousands more are receiving the life-saving treatments they need from local personnel who were previously trained by SACH. We have trained Tanzania’s first pediatric cardiac surgeon, and we are in the process of training Ethiopia’s first pediatric cardiac surgeon. We have begun construction of a new Children's Hospital at the Wolfson Medical Center that will house the Middle East's first international pediatric cardiac care center."

Stoney invented the term, "electron", among other things.
LOOKING BACK -- (Please try to get most of this caption info in.) Rod Savage of Eugene submitted this photo of his great-great-grandfather, George Savage, riding a cow in 1900. George Savage was a blacksmith in Marcola, where the photos were taken. "It is something seeing him not only on the cow, but he is in a white shirt and tie and wearing a six-gun, probably common for the day, I guess," says Savage. "I never met him but understand that he was much like others of that era -- hard-working and a man of few words and a lot of action."
Photos in the wake of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020. Most businesses along Hennepin Ave (including my office) were boarded up to prevent damage from subsequent rioting. Many of the plywood panels became canvasses for art as the week went along.

While driving home from Southern Utah on Sunday my brother Tom and I nearly lost our lives. We had left our Grandparent's home in St. George only a few minutes prior to the accident. Traveling down the freeway the weather was good, there wasn't much traffic and there was no good reason the accident should have happened. Tom was driving and I was on the passenger side. After leaving home Tom and I got into an argument, which only escalated as we got further down the road. To suggest we were foolish doesn't begin to convey who stupid both of us are. We were arguing about something unimportant and yet it nearly cost us our lives. (Read more)
