Professor Weinberger: Back from Japan, off to Israel

Professor Weinberger just returned from a quick visit to Japan. He was invited by Kobe University, to serve as an external evaluator of their proposed Advanced Education System on Maritime Security Management. Professor Weinberger says, "the program is intended to educate those involved with the merchant marine (on the ships, in the ports, insurers, etc.) on how to ensure security. It deals with how to anticipate terror attacks, what to do when terrorists/pirates attack ships, how to best secure ports, and so on."

Rather than return with pictures of academics sitting in their conference rooms (always gripping photography), he brought back some nice shots of Hemeji Castle and the surrounds.

Professor Weinberger will be busy over the next couple of months. He's been chosen as an academic fellow by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy in DC, which means that in May he'll take part in a 10-day course on terrorism based in Israel. I took part a couple of years ago, and it's an incredible, if exhausting, experience. Look for more interesting photos from that event.
