THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DETECTION: BREAST IMAGING’S ROLE IN TREATING BREAST CANCER
One of the easiest and most important ways that women can take charge of their breast health is through early detection with breast imaging – something Stacy Smith-Foley, M.D., works to drive home to each of her patients.
A diagnostic radiologist with over 17 years of experience, Dr. Smith-Foley uses advanced breast imaging technology to get a complete look at a patient’s breast health. Regular mammograms allow Dr. Smith-Foley to detect abnormalities as they start to appear – when breast cancer is in its earliest stages. This leads to better treatment outcomes for patients.
Read more about Dr. Smith-Foley and how women benefit from early detection in the Saline Courier here. To schedule an appointment with CARTI’s breast imaging experts, get your next mammogram at The Breast Cancer Center at CARTI.

An article by STEINBJOERN MENTZONI in a provincial Norwegian newspaper provides new insights into the men of MS Herstein trapped in the fall of Rabaul in 1942. Translated by Benn Bolt Jr
When Norway was occupied, orders came from the ‘new’ Norwegian government that all ships were to go to ports under German control. Not many officers followed this order; most ships instead heading to Allied ports, and became part of the fleet which fought against the Germans.
No one knows with certainty what happened to the crew of the Norwegian ship MS Herstein. The captain survived and came home to his family in Norway. The relatives of the rest of the ship crew still wonder today what happened to their loved ones.
When Herstein left Port Moresby harbour the Japanese forces were on the march, even though no one knew when they would attack. Captain Gotfred M Gundersen guided his ship along the New Guinea coast, navigating as close as possible to reefs to keep any Japanese submarines at bay.
Herstein had barely come into harbour in Rabaul before cargo booms were raised so that the loading of copra could begin. A new message from the authorities gave ordered Gundersen to take a full cargo of copra on board: 6,000 tons instead of 2,000 tons. The additional time in Rabaul was to have disastrous consequences for ship and crew.
Captain Gundersen was at naval control for final orders before departure from Rabaul. The crew began to make the ship seaworthy, even though loading was not complete. Rumours had it that the attack on Rabaul was not far off. There was nervousness in the small Australian garrison.
Herstein was still in Rabaul when it was attacked by Japanese aircraft on 20 January 1942. Captain Gundersen ran towards the ship to get on board. There was no chance. The ship was far from naval control and there was total chaos in the area. About 100 aircraft approached at low altitude.
Bombs and incendiaries hit the ship, which quickly caught fire. Anti-aircraft artillery fired on land and on the ship. The crew struggled to limit the fire. They connected all available fire hoses.
On deck the first mate Møller tried to extinguish the fire. With him was second mate Benn Bolt. But the heat and flames had become so intense that Møller gave orders to abandon ship. Left on deck was steward Karl Thorsell from Sweden. He was killed in the battle. Some other crew members were injured, but managed to get ashore. The crew also got Thorsell’s body ashore. It lies in an unknown grave.

Choke hold by cop killed NY man, medical examiner says
Willie Grace | 8/4/2014, 6:46 p.m. | Updated on 8/4/2014, 6:46 p.m.
The New York City medical examiner's office Friday confirmed what demonstrators had been saying for weeks: A police officer's choke hold on a man being arrested for selling loose cigarettes killed him. The death has been ruled a homicide.
Eric Garner, 43, died July 17 after being confronted by police on Staten Island for allegedly selling illegal cigarettes.
During the encounter, Garner raised both hands in the air and told the officers not to touch him. Seconds later, a video shows an officer behind him grab the 350-pound man in a choke hold and pull him to the sidewalk, rolling him onto his stomach.
"I can't breathe! I can't breathe!" Garner said repeatedly, his cries muffled into the pavement.
The cause of Garner's death was "compression of neck (choke hold), compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police," said Julie Bolcer, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office. The death was ruled a homicide.
Acute and chronic bronchial asthma, obesity and hypertensive cardiovascular disease were listed as contributing conditions in a controversial death that sparked anti-police demonstrations and calls for a federal investigation.
Douglas Auer, a spokesman for the Richmond County district attorney's office, said the investigation into the death was continuing.
"We await the issuance of the official death certificate and the autopsy report," he said in a statement.
There was no immediate reaction from Garner's family.
The video of the incident showed the Staten Island man lying on the ground motionless after he was taken down by a group of officers. An asthmatic, Garner was later declared dead at a nearby hospital, according to CNN affiliate WCBS. Police said he suffered a heart attack and died on the way to the hospital.
"This is a terrible tragedy that occurred ... A terrible tragedy that no family should have to experience," New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said after the death, calling the video of the incident "very troubling."
Garner, a grandfather with six children, had a lengthy criminal history, including more than 30 arrests, and had been previously arrested for selling untaxed cigarettes in May, according to police.
But demonstrators in New York called the police response during his arrest excessive and criminal.
On July 19, Garner's friends and family rallied with the Rev. Al Sharpton in Harlem, demanding a full investigation into Garner's death, according to WCBS.
Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who is seen on the video choking Garner, was put on modified assignment and stripped of his badge and gun as the New York Police Department continues to investigate the incident, WCBS reported. The choke hold tactic is prohibited by the NYPD.
Two EMTs and two paramedics also were suspended without pay, according to Erika Hellstrom, vice president of development at Richmond University Medical Center.
In a statement, Patrolmen's Benevolent Association President Patrick J. Lynch called Pantaleo's reassignment "a completely unwarranted, kneejerk reaction for political reasons." He said the move "effectively pre-judges this case and denies the officer the very benefit of a doubt that has long been part of the social contract that allows police officers to face the risks of this difficult and complex job."
Police Commissioner William Bratton ordered an extensive review of the NYPD's training procedures after Garner death.
After a two-hour meeting with NYPD Training Commissioner Ben Tucker last week, Bratton ordered a "top to bottom review of all the training that this department provides to its personnel, specifically focusing on force, how do we train our officers for a takedown, how do we train them to use the various levels of force that they're authorized to use."
"I would anticipate that coming out of this effort that there will be a re-training of every member of the New York City Police Department in the weeks, months and potential years ahead," Bratton said.

HOUSTON – Texans love their Buc-ee's and one Katy couple decided to showcase their love with a photo shoot at a local store.
Just hours after the photographer posted the pictures on social media, the sharing frenzy began.
Kristina Boyd with Hello Darlin Photography wanted to do something fun and unique with a true Texas flare.
Her clients Brooks Taylor and Trevor Waters are boyfriend and girlfriend. They wanted photos that would capture their love for each other. As an added bonus, the pictures also captured their love for Buc-ee's.
"We have Buc-ee's and no other state has that. We thought that would be super special and different," Taylor told KPRC2.
The couple has been together for about six years.
She graduated from Katy Taylor High School this year, while he graduated last year. Both will be attending Lone Star College this fall.
They both love Beaver Nuggets and Taylor said Buc-ee's is a mandatory stop for them on any road trip.
The folks at Buc-ee's in Katy were more than happy to help out with the photo shoot.
"It was a lot of fun! It was very busy. The employees were very helpful," Taylor said.
So what do Taylor and Waters love most about Buc-ee's, besides the Beaver Nuggets?
"Just the people and feeling welcome," Taylor said. "And of course the clean bathrooms."
Boyd said the photo session has now reached more than 16,000 people.
Taylor said the response has been amazing, with people telling her the shoot is "super-cute and unique."

Russia’s Gazprom has halted gas deliveries to Poland and Bulgaria over the countries’ refusal to pay in rubles.
In March, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered “unfriendly” countries to pay for gas in rubles in response to the US-led Western sanctions campaign aimed at decimating Russia’s economy. Some of the sanctions specifically targeted Russia’s use of the dollar and the euro.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Wednesday that asking for payments in rubles and cutting off Poland and Bulgaria’s gas supply was a result of the sanctions campaign. “The need for a new payment method was a result of unprecedented unfriendly steps in the economic sphere and the financial sector, which were taken against us by unfriendly countries,” he said.
Under Putin’s payment plan, European countries have to set up an account at Russia’s Gazprombank so they can transfer foreign currency to the bank. Gazprombank would then purchase rubles on behalf of the buyer, which will be used for the gas deal.
While Poland and Bulgaria refused to pay in rubles, some European countries are complying. According to a report from Bloomberg that cited a person close to Gazprom, at least four European gas buyers have paid for supplies in rubles, and 10 European countries have set up accounts at Gazprombank. The person said that if other countries refuse to pay in rubles, more cutoffs aren’t expected until the second half of May, when more payments are due.
After Gazprom made its announcement, European gas prices surged 28%. Because Europe is so reliant on Russian gas, European countries are facing severe economic consequences if they lose the supply. According to a German economic institute, Germany would face a sharp recession if Russian gas supplies were suddenly cut off, making Berlin likely to comply with the ruble payment system.

The Romanian-language version of Google has not been accessible for many Romanian users for several hours on Wednesday following what a report called a DNS poisoning attack. Google has said its services in Romania were not attacked, but that for a short period of time some Google.ro and other web services users were redirected to another website. For a while in the morning, the users could see the Google.ro interface replaced with a message from an "Algerian hacker".
The Yahoo.ro website was also "down" for a short while on Wednesday morning, according to news agency Mediafax, which quotes go4it.ro website.
Google said their services were not affected directly and that they were keeping contact with the organisation responsible with the domain name administration in Romania.
Some users could access Google.ro without a problem.
The attack did not target pages and their real content, but DNS servers which read accessed web address and direct them to real IP addresses. In a DNS poisoning attack, false information is delivered to other DNS servers and is thus propagated to users, allowing attackers to redirect traffic to a server they are running.

A drawbar spring is a type of extension spring with a number of uses in households, commercial settings, and even automobiles. They come in prefabricated styles, but we also specialize in made to order springs of any type for just about any imaginable use.
A drawbar spring is a type of extension spring, which means there are spaces between the spring's coils, allowing it to expand and contract as it handles a load. The main feature separating a drawbar spring from other types of extension springs is the long, steel loop at one end, which passes through the center of the spring's coils and hooks at the other end. Thus, the spring compresses when a load is applied. You can find these in numerous applications, including porch swings.
A drawbar spring is a practical choice in applications calling for backup safety. Due to the design of drawbar springs, even if the spring should fracture and break, the looped steel through the center of the spring continues to maintain a static load. Thus, if you have an application in which an overload is a concern, a drawbar spring will undoubtedly provide an extra layer of safety. They are common in manufacturing facilities in which springs carry large loads; if the spring would happen to break, the load will not fall and break or injure someone nearby. In order to increase the lifespan of these springs, it is important to lubricate them frequently.
Although hundreds if not thousands of prefabricated springs are available on the market today, engineers, developers, inventers, and even craftsmen often require made to order springs that suit their unique needs. Different types of springs offer different features and things like the chosen material and wire gauge impact the operation of the spring, the load it carries, and even its lifespan. Of course, some materials are more expensive than others are, so it is important to choose a material that suits your budget as well as your needs.
We are an industry leader when it comes to made to order springs of all types, whether you need compression, extension, or even torsion springs. We take your measurements carefully and work closely with you to create one or even thousands of springs that suit your unique needs. Made to order springs can certainly become expensive, and although you may be able to fabricate a single spring that suits your needs on your own, it is difficult without the right tools and expertise. We are always available for consultation, and we will help you determine the right materials, spring types, and even wire gauges for your unique application.
Whether you need one or more drawbar springs or you are in the market for other types of made to order springs, we are always happy to assist you. With the right equipment, knowledge, and expertise, we can help you with any design or application imaginable.
If you have worked with another company to design and manufacture a special spring design and been unhappy with the result, give us a try. Our team will work closely with you to make sure the design is capable of performing well and providing service for a long time. Along with the design for your made to order springs, we will talk with you about materials and other elements that will ensure you receive the highest quality for the most competitive price.
Contact us today at 905-625-1504 and let’s get started. You can also use the contact feature on our website to let us know what you have in mind. Before you know it, the specs and quote for your new drawbar springs will be in your hands.

Donald Trump has lamented the fact he believes this election is rigged, but some of his supporters are misconstruing his words. An Iowa Trump supporter was arrested on Friday for voting for the Republican candidate twice, using the rationale the whole system is fixed according to Iowa Public Radio.
Trump’s most ardent supporters are with him through thick and thin, with some even pledging to monitor the polls for any suspicious activity. And some Trump loyalists want to make sure he gets into the White House so they’re voting for him twice. The only sticking point here is that it is illegal and in some ways is rigging in itself. Terri Rote was one of these loyal followers as she was arrested in Des Moines for voting on two separate early voting ballots. Two other people have also been accused of voting with a mail-in ballot and in person. Rote said she wasn’t planning on voting twice, it’s just that she committed voter fraud because she thinks the election is rigged. Not the soundest reasoning and Polk County Attorney John Sarcone said the county’s security for its polls are tight as a drum:
“I think in the 25-plus years that I’ve been doing this job, this maybe the third [time] we’ve had some irregularity that’s resulted in a criminal charge. People aren’t voting more than once. And if they do, or attempt to do it, they will get caught because there are safeguards in place….We want everybody to exercise their right to vote, but only once.”
Rigging an election is extremely rare and not as simple as Trump would have you believe. In fact, there have only been 31 fraudulent votes recorded in one billion votes cast, as reported by The Concourse. So the assertion the voting system is out to get him is a bit perplexing. Rote was released on bail, but if she is convicted of voter fraud she could face up to five years in prison.

Why We Need to Study the Effects of Marijuana on Motor Learning
Center for BrainHealth
Most marijuana studies demonstrate that consuming cannabis induces cognitive and motor performance deficits. Science, though, has yet to study cannabis’ effect on motor learning, which is necessary for simple and complex movements – such as reflexes and speaking – as well as properly calibrated physical movement. Researchers at the Center for BrainHealth, part of The University of Texas at Dallas, argue that addressing this research gap could lead to breakthroughs in addiction therapies.
In a review of literature that appears online in Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, Center for BrainHealth scientists found a consensus among published research: that exposure to cannabis has significant effects on brain pathways – or cortico-striatal networks – that facilitate cognitive activity and motor production. These same networks are also involved in addiction.
“The craving to consume an illicit substance changes learned behavior, resulting in addiction. Actions directed at obtaining an addictive substance supersede behaviors necessary for survival, like eating healthily and maintaining social relationships,” explained co-author Dr. Shikha Prashad, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Addictive Behaviors lab at Center for BrainHealth. “Understanding how these motor learning changes occur could lead to targeted therapies that can potentially deprogram addiction in the brain.”
Dr. Prashad, whose background includes studying cognitive motor deficits in diseases such as Parkinson’s, hypothesizes that because cannabis affects motor production, or reaction time, and cognitive performance, such as short-term memory and attention, it also affects motor learning.
Dr. Francesca Filbey, Cognitive Neuroscience of Addictive Behaviors director at the Center for BrainHealth, relayed several findings that have been revealed in recent research, but noted that research methods, sample sizes and study findings were inconsistent.
“How marijuana affects an individual seems to be related to how long and how regularly they have been consuming it and at what age they started,” said Dr. Filbey. “There is some indication that certain deficits can be temporary, such as impaired attention, short-term memory and reaction time. Other brain changes, such as regional decreases in size and alterations in connectivity, may be more permanent.”
Drs. Filbey and Prashad emphasize that much more research needs to be done, especially in light of the current legal climate surrounding cannabis and possible implications for public health and safety policies, such as legal limits while driving.
“Our goal as scientists is not to say whether cannabis is good or bad,” explained Dr. Filbey. “Instead, we want to uncover cannabis’ short- and long-term effects on the brain as well as discern genetic, behavioral and developmental risk factors that contribute to the nine to 10 percent of individuals who become addicted to marijuana. As marijuana use exceeds alcohol use in young people, there is an increasing need for data to support informed decision-making.”
This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health Grant RO1 DA030344 to Dr. Filbey. The article “Cognitive motor deficits in cannabis use,” by Shikha Prashad, PhD, and Francesca Filbey, PhD (doi: 10.1016/j.cobeha.2016.07.001), is available online and will appear in Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, Volume 13, February 2017, Pages 1-7, published by Elsevier.

Mercedes-Benz C-class review - Can it take on the mighty 3-series? - Ride and Handling
Trades some dynamic ability and excitement for comfort - unless you opt for the AMG C63
Ride and handling
In one of these disciplines, the Mercedes C-class is excellent. The ride is generally supple even on the worst of road surfaces, while wind and tyre noise are suitably suppressed. This makes the Mercedes comfortably the best car for relaxed driving in its class, beating the BMW 3-series, the Audi A4, the Jaguar XE and the Alfa Romeo Giulia.
One point worth considering is that, with the C300h in AMG Line trim, you suffer a 120kg weight penalty thanks to the electric motor and its lithium-ion battery pack. This can upset the car's composure, particularly when dealing with larger compressions. In practice, it makes the car noticeably less comfortable than the more absorbent SE or Sport models with smaller than 18-inch wheels.
The handling is a more contentious issue, as there are very fine degrees of separation between the C-class’ abilities and its competitors. What the Mercedes does have on its side are progressive brakes with good pedal feel (they’re even OK in the C300h with its regenerative braking powers, albeit not as linear as the regular stoppers). The C-class remains composed and controlled in all forms, so if you decide to press on there won’t be any nasty surprises.

What it never quite reveals is a playful side to its character. While you can make very quick progress across ground, no matter how twisting the road, it’s very rare the C-class will ever put a smile on your face. That's less the case with the C43, which wins extra points for its body control and more engaging character, but with all-wheel drive it's also pretty much unflappable, particularly in the dry.
A basic BMW 320d might not be as comfortable as the Mercedes, but it is still more entertaining to drive than most of the C-class range. However, Jaguar’s XE is a consummate all-rounder being as rewarding as the BMW and as luxurious as the Mercedes, while Alfa Romeo's new Giulia steers quickly and feels nimbler.
Considering the huge amount of metal that’s had to be removed to turn the C-class Coupe into a cabriolet, the fact it hasn’t lost all structural integrity is notable. However, that it actually feels quite stiff is incredibly impressive. It must be noted that the body of C-class Cabriolet feels much stronger when equipped with the smaller, lighter engines rather than the C63's big twin turbo V8. The C63 develops some unpleasant steering wheel movement as a Cabriolet that the C220d simply doesn’t.
Despite having a more simple cloth roof rather than an elaborate folding metal one, the interior is always quiet and wind noise is minimal. However, the roof shuffles and rattles slightly in the C63, but this isn’t an issue in the C43 or non-AMG models.
There’s approximately 125kg of extra weight in the Cabriolet, but performance isn’t dampened significantly. However, the entire attitude of the soft-top does feel calmer and more relaxed than its coupe equivalent.

“While Android will remain the OS of choice for most Huawei smartphones, a few models – likely at the bottom of the spectrum – will be launched with HarmonyOS in 2020”
In August this year, Huawei announced its in-house operating system called HarmonyOS. The Honor Vision Pro TV was the first device to use this operating system, and many thought that the company would use HarmonyOS on smartphones as well. However, Huawei stated that it wouldn’t be launching any smartphones with the OS in 2019. Now, as we’re approaching 2020, the president of Huawei, Dr. Wang Chenglu, has just revealed that the company will start using HarmonyOS for smartphones coming out next year. Huawei will still use Android as its preferred smartphone OS, but certain phones will be using the custom HarmonyOS.
Chenglu made the statement during a recent Huawei conference held in China. He also revealed that smartphones with HarmonyOS will be sold internationally as well. Apart from that, it was also said that developers and others would be able to use HarmonyOS as the company plans on making it open source. This will happen only around August next year though.
HarmonyOS is claimed to have a high level of security and uses fewer lines of code than other mobile operating systems. Also, this OS can be used for multiple platforms, as showcased by the Honor TV. It can also be used on smartwatches, in-car infotainment systems, tablets, smart-speakers, and even computers. The OS will also offer AI features, which means that we can expect Huawei to offer a digital smart assistant in the future. We have not yet seen what HarmonyOS can do and what it’s like on a smartphone or tablet.
Huawei will most likely only launch budget or mid-range smartphones with HarmonyOS. The company cannot make a wide-spread launch as that would certainly cause customers to abandon ship. Therefore, certain budget smartphone series could come with HarmonyOS first. The flagship phones from the company will run Google’s Android OS for the time being. As Chenglu mentioned, Android is still the preferred OS for the company and most smartphones will still use Android, at least for now.

The city, Biloxi School District and Harrison County are asking to join a private developer’s lawsuit against Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, fearing he is trying to gobble up some of their tax revenue.
The lawsuit, filed in Harrison County Chancery Court, also could set precedent on who controls development along casino row in Biloxi.
Biloxi Lodging, owner of Margaritaville Resort, is suing Hosemann over a little more than an acre of land that is part of the grass field between Margaritaville, a family fun center and hotel, and The Blind Tiger restaurant.
Hosemann claims the state controls the property up to U.S. 90. Previously, the state has claimed only a sliver of the southern portion of the property, and signed leases based on that property line.
Mississippi law clearly establishes that the state holds in trust for the public waterfront property that is subject to the ebb and flow of the tide. This is dry land. The Secretary of State’s Office manages the state’s tidelands, including lucrative leases with casinos.
“The mayor finds it appalling that (Hosemann) is using tidelands money that we generate to fight us for control of our waterfront,” city spokesman Vincent Creel said, sharing Mayor Andrew “FoFo” Gilich’s opinion. “That’s what it’s about — control.”
If a judge agrees the state controls the land, it would be subject to city, state and county school taxes only if and when it is leased and developed. Also, Biloxi Lodging says it will seek a refund of previous taxes if Hosemann prevails.
Biloxi Lodging wants to put an amusement park on this property and surrounding land. But Hosemann has said he would market the property competitively as a casino site.
The land brought in about $60,000 in taxes last year.
Hosemann’s office has a similar dispute going with property owners to the west, on the former site of Lady Luck Casino and, before it, Fisherman’s Wharf restaurant.
“Biloxi is looking to protect its property rights and tax base,” city attorney Peter Abide said. “We do not think Secretary Hosemann can redraw the tidelands boundary line to now be Highway 90. The secretary of state is objecting to our participation.”
Hosemann said he had not seen the requests of the city, county and school district to intervene in the lawsuit and did not want to comment.
Hosemann has been embroiled in another lawsuit over waterfront property in Bay St. Louis and lost.
Staff Writer Mary Perez contributed to this report.

Other than Shale, indeed oil exploration is moving deeper into the ocean and more miles beneath the surface. Which does make it costly to explore, recover and ship to consumers onshore and across continents. With big oil investments on hold and not just rigs, regaining the momentum to meet the demand will indeed be time consuming. In oil business they do say its a cycle. We just don't know how soon will the price accelerate back.
Delayed impact of Canada fire on US Stocks (Cushing) up to 20 MMbl over 2 weeks of reports is expected. Apparently the Oil from Oil Sands flows really slow through the pipeline. So while the fire was going on the oil already in pipe didn't have an impact on inventory. Similar situation with oil flowing from impacted Nigeria and Venezuela will show an impact on inventory. for at least 2 weeks - the impacted supply was 3-4 mbpd = 40-50 MMbl. However while Canada and Libya impact has ended and the production will come back in time, it is going to take 1-2 weeks for normalcy. Whereas impact in Nigeria 800 K and Benezuela 200K and other impacts such as rest of LATAM and US shale will continue to the tune of 1.5-2 mbpd - balancing the output to Demand.

Few pipe organs in the world have a nickname, a feminine pronoun, and a Facebook fan page.
The Hazel Wright organ, affectionately known as “Hazel” by her admirers, was removed piece by piece in 2013 from Christ Cathedral’s gleaming sanctuary in Orange County, Southern California, and shipped to Italy for repair. At the time, the fifth-largest pipe organ in the world was infested with bugs. Its pipes had melted, and its trumpets had corroded.
Hazel is back in the fully remodeled sanctuary, and heavenly chords from her pipes once again ring out in the vaulted nave of the iconic church, nearly a decade and $3 million later.
The Hazel Wright organ, named after its original benefactor, was heard by millions around the world during the heyday of what was then known as the Crystal Cathedral, founded by televangelist Rev. Robert H. Schuller, who hosted the weekly Christian TV program “Hour of Power.” The Garden Grove church is a local landmark and tourist attraction, with its majestic spire visible from some of the county’s freeways.
After Crystal Cathedral Ministries declared bankruptcy, the organ and the building were purchased in 2011 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange, which later launched a $72 million sanctuary renovation that was completed in 2019.
According to the Very Rev. Christopher Smith, rector of Christ Cathedral, reviving the organ was a top priority, regardless of cost. While $3 million may appear to be a large sum, he claims that a brand-new organ of comparable scope would cost five times that amount or more.
The organ was built in the late 1970s and dedicated in 1982 under the supervision of master organist Virgil Fox. To create the Hazel Wright organ, the Fratelli Ruffatti — or Ruffatti brothers — a multigenerational company of specialists in Padua, Italy, grafted an Aeolian-Skinner organ purchased from New York City’s Philharmonic Hall with one made by Fratelli Ruffatti in 1977.
When it was time for repairs, it was returned to the Ruffattis factory in Padua in 2013. The pieces were shipped back to Orange County after extensive work, where they sat in a temperature-controlled storage facility for four years while the cathedral was renovated. Piero Ruffatti, who originally built Hazel, then returned in late 2019 for the reinstallation.
However, that was cut short by the coronavirus pandemic, which hit Italy as hard as any other country early on. Ruffatti put the project on hold and boarded the last flight out of Los Angeles on March 17, 2020, to return home. He returned in November 2021, after travel restrictions were lifted, and finished the job in late January.
The organ had 270 ranks, or sets of pipes, ranging in length from 4 inches to 32 feet; five keyboards; and the world’s largest draw-knob console to control the sound.
It has approximately 17,000 pipes in 293 ranks in its current configuration, making it the largest pipe organ in a Roman Catholic cathedral in the Western Hemisphere, according to Ball.
According to Ruffatti, the acoustical environment for the organ is better than ever thanks to the sanctuary remodel.
Frederick Swann, who played the organ at the Crystal Cathedral almost every Sunday from 1982 to 1998, served as a consultant on the project and agreed that it sounds better in the renovated building. Swann, 90, recalled one of his most memorable moments: playing the organ with a tiger cub on the console, one of the live animals featured in the Crystal Cathedral’s famed “Glory of Christmas” pageant. He’s overjoyed to see Hazel still alive and well.
However, fine-tuning the delicate instrument is an ongoing process that will take several months, according to Kevin Cartwright, president of Los Angeles-based Rosales Organ Builders, which has been contracted to maintain the instrument at a cost of about $75,000 per year to the diocese. This necessitates him climbing ladders several stories high.
Hazel has had her own Facebook page, The Hazel Wright Organ Society, since 2009, and it now has over 2,400 members.

The new environmental protection standard for updated shoreline master programs is
no-net-loss of shoreline ecological functions. While restoration of degraded areas is encouraged, this does not mean all shoreline areas are required to be made pristine or returned to pre-settlement conditions. Local governments are required to inventory current shoreline conditions, including identifying existing ecological processes and functions that influence physical and biological conditions.
When a shoreline program is adopted, existing ecological conditions on the ground must be protected while development of shoreline areas is continued in accordance with adopted regulations. This is accomplished by avoiding or minimizing the introduction of impacts to ecological functions that result from new shoreline development.

‘If we can get things ready to go, I would hope there’s something within the next five years’ - Boston Borough Council’s leader has told his fellow members regarding the town’s potential share of a £100 million road fund.
Coun Michael Cooper was responding to a question from Coun Jonathan Noble on the recently announced Government scheme which could see local authorities given grants of up to £100 million to finance specific road plans.
The announcement saw the Transport Minister Chris Grayling namecheck Boston to the BBC where he said he had ‘no doubt there would be a campaign for the bypass to be an early project’.
Coun Noble said time to apply was ‘of the essence’.
He asked the leader what plans the council had to apply for money towards ‘another town bridge and/or bypass’ and how optimistic he was that the town would see a ‘successful outcome’ within two years.
In response, Mr Cooper told councillors he had been in discussions with a variety of authority figures at Lincolnshire County Council, whose highway department would be making the application, and local MP Matt Warman.
He said they were working towards a ‘viable plan’, adding: “The exact details of what has been coined a ‘bypass fund’ are still in the early stages and some details are not yet clear, but I will continue to make a strong case for a fair share of the funding to come our way.”
“Boston is well-placed to build on the distributor road approach it has adopted with the support of the County Council, to argue for significant highways investment and I for one will continue to press hard for a good outcome for Boston.”
He added: “I can’t say we’re going to start building a bypass within the next two years, but the big thing is finance, and finance is there. If we can get things ready to go I would hope to see something within the next five years. If we can get started within that time frame that would be a good move.”

The ASUS ROG Strix GL502VS-DB71 is impressively remarkable and offers about twice the gaming experience of previous single-GPU notebooks, which is terrific. It’s gaming laptop that delivers on point as a result of its quad-core CPU, DDR4 memory, the most recent GPU in its class and a 256GB SSD. Its design is handy and quite portable too. You can get as much as 5 hours of battery life but as a gaming laptop it’s demanding hardware can cause the battery to drain easily but this is no big deal at all
But if you want to play new games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on ultra settings, you’re better off with a desktop or a gaming laptop with more powerful graphics. A $1,200 desktop is much more powerful, and you can easily upgrade it in the future. And if you opt for a higher-end gaming laptop, you’ll be able to crank up those graphics settings for years—rather than months—to come.
More important to look for is a suitable resolution range, measured in dots per inch (dpi), that allows for fine-grained (low dpi) and wide-sweep (high dpi) tracking. Just as crucial is a button or toggle that lets you adjust the setting easily on the fly—as opposed to only in software. Mouse resolution is mostly a marketing numbers game; you would use extreme dpi settings in the five-figure range only if you have one or more very high-pixel-count displays, such as 4K monitors, to mouse across. So don't put a whole lot of stock, say, in a 10,000dpi maximum setting versus a 12,000dpi one. Either will serve you well under most real-world circumstances.
It comes with a dual-core Intel i5-7200U, which is a good CPU, and 8GB of DDR4 RAM. This paves the way for a comfortable user experience, but the slower 5400RPM hard drive means slower load times on programs and boot times will be longer than laptops that come with an SSD. Storage space won’t be much of an issue however, since the HDD has 1TB of space. The Intel HD Graphics 620 handles some newer games fairly well on lower settings, such as GTA 5 and Overwatch (check this video out).
In our chart at the top of this article and in our list below, we've mapped out our top-rated models to investigate. Note that a few of the configurations sent to us for testing were a bit above $1,000; some remain so, while others have fallen below the one-grand line since. Also, note that most of these models are a single version of a machine in a varied line. So use the linked reviews as guidelines, not absolutes, when assessing each laptop family. You may not get quite the level of performance we did, if key components were downgraded in the march below $1,000. But you should get a solid idea of the laptops' screen, build, and input quality from our reviews.
It’s no secret that dedicated graphics cards offer far better performance than integrated graphics, however, this doesn’t mean that you can’t game on laptops without dedicated GPUs. This is due to the fact that Intel has come a long way with their integrated graphics and Blizzard have even mentioned that almost 25% of all Overwatch players are playing the game on a system with integrated graphics. While Overwatch is a newer title, don’t expect to play titles such as Mass Effect: Andromeda or Battlefield 1 on high settings or with great frame rates.
HyperX's Pulsefire FPS wants to be the go-to gaming mouse for FPS titles, as you might have guessed from the name. For $50, you're getting a razor-focused gaming mouse that boasts a Pixart 3310 sensor and the standard—but very welcome—four DPI settings, switchable via a central button. The Pulsefire FPS naturally pairs with the HyperX Alloy FPS gaming keyboard, with both featuring handsome, red-and-black wrapped cables.
The TUF comes in four different configurations that are similar to the Acer Nitro 5, but has a better keyboard that's cushy for long gaming sessions and Asus says is extra durable, lasting for up to 20 million key presses. However, we found the cheapest configuration's display disappointing with poor off-angle performance and at $699 with a GTX 1050, it was pricier than the Acer, too. Bumping up to its $899 configuration gets you a better display, a 1050Ti, dual storage drives and a six-core Intel Core i7-8750H.
The G7—along with the Dell G5, Dell G3, and Lenovo Y530—kept its GPU among the coolest, measuring 162 °F (72 °C) during both our Overwatch test and the more demanding Witcher 3 test. Both Asus TUF Gaming laptops kept their CPUs the coolest at around 183 °F (84 °C), but the Dell G7’s was still on the lower end of the models we tested (and within expected range) at 203 °F (95 °C). The trade-off for these cool temperatures, however, is significantly loud fans. We’ll address this topic more in the following section.
Fortunately for anyone interested in acquiring a gaming laptop with decent battery autonomy, there are a number of models on the market that have highly optimized hardware configurations like the Asus ROG Strix Hero II (which has almost 5 hours of autonomy), the Acer Predator Helios 300 (approximately 6 hours 50 minutes of autonomy) or the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 (around 7 hours of autonomy). This last computer takes advantage of Nvidia’s Max-Q design in order to allow its GeForce GTX 1060 graphics chip to consume less power while remaining fully capable of gaming in Full HD. The Alienware 13 (OLED) also has a battery autonomy in excess of 7 hours (tested using office software).
The Acer Nitro 5 Spin delivers solid multitasking power, good battery life, a comfortable keyboard and oodles of versatility thanks to its easily convertible design. A Nvidia GTX 1050 GPU means that you can play most games at low or medium settings. It's a solid choice for games looking for an affordable gaming system that does more than play games.

Julianne Hough never has any trouble on her feet, but the Dancing With the Stars alum does trip over her words a bit when it comes to a certain line in Fox’s upcoming Grease: Live.
Hough, who’s playing Sandy in the production, stopped by EW Radio to talk about the meta line in the show that’s giving her trouble.
“It’s a line that I should be able to deliver because it’s so me,” Hough said.
The line comes when the main cast is in the diner, and Sandy says, “Who wants to watch a bunch of amateurs in a dance contest on live TV?” referencing the school dance being filmed on national TV scene that comes afterwards in the show. Of course, the meta line was added to Fox’s updated version as a nod to both the musical being broadcast live on television and Hough’s past on Dancing With the Stars. But even though the joke has so much to do with Hough, she admits, “I mess it up every time.”
“The diner scene is the death of me for sure,” Hough said.
Grease: Live airs on Sunday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. ET on Fox.

Published on 11 May 2020
The announcement included a new rule allowing up to five visitors at home and groups of up to 10 people participating in outdoor activities from 11.59pm Tuesday 12 May. But Mr Andrews is steering clear of reopening hospitality businesses with limits of 10 customers in place.
“If we stick with this, come June we may not need to have restrictions of 10,” he said in a press conference today.
“We could take a bigger step, potentially, for cafes and restaurants.”
Today’s announcement followed Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s unveiling on Friday of a three-stage plan to guide states on easing their lockdown restrictions. That included the option of reopening of cafes and restaurants under Stage 1, but with strict limits on social distancing and only 10 patrons allowed in venues.
Those restrictions are unviable for many businesses, a point to which Mr Andrews alluded discussing the situation in Victoria.
With Victoria’s current state of emergency expiring today, Mr Andrews’ plan has outlined what life will be like for Victorians between now and the end of May. That includes continuing to work from home if it’s possible and children remaining away from classrooms for the time being. Camping, overnight stays and booking hotels or Airbnbs are all off the cards.
The Premier said that Victoria will have “more and more options in June” if people continue to follow these steps. He will make another announcement before the current restrictions expire at midnight on Sunday 31 May on the next stage.
The main points from today’s announcement:

Well, I took apart some older equipment, as I remembered that is has some quartz fluorite optics in it. Added some focusing helicoid, iris and duct tape and here are some results using it.

Closeup at approx. f11:
Closeup at approx. f7:
Not that bad I'd say for something laying around, especially as it has a very small focus shift of only about 1/2mm when shooting macro.
UV transmittance is quite good, but that was expected and goes beyond 300nm rather flat..
More about that used quartz fluorite lens is HERE.

DrumTalk - Airbourne by Soundway Records published on 2012/10/15 12:10:54 +0000 East London producer and DJ DrumTalk is to release his new EP through Soundway Records. Inspired by the musical lineage of London, Chicago, New York and Detroit, elements of house music, techno music, bass culture and the rhythms of West Africa are all to be found here. Distinctive in its raw immediacy, DrumTalk's music belongs in the same dark corners of the dancefloor as Daphni’s recent ‘Jiaolong’ LP. His productions and remixes for More Music, Sofrito and more recently Soundway have already been making an impact far and wide, getting attention of DJs such as Mr Scruff, Gilles Peterson, Soul Clap, Luke Solomon and Huntleys and Palmers. Little else is known about DrumTalk, when asked by Soundway he replied: “DrumTalk is the sound of machines being controlled by a human and the sound of a human being controlled by machines. Digital, analogue and acoustic. High-fi and Low-fi. Synths, drum machines and echo units, hand claps, finger snaps and banging on a drum“ The 12” vinyl comes with a free MP3 of the release.

John Guandolo, a former FBI agent who retired in 2008, said on Saturday there was a clear indication CIA Chief nominee John Brennan secretly converted to Islam between 1996 and 1999 while he was CIA station Chief in Riyadh.
Guandolo, a well-known 'expert' in Islam, has long warned that members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood are slowly infiltrating the federal government. He now says that by appointing Brennan as CIA Director, President Obama has not only chosen a man who is blind to these kinds of infiltrations, but has picked a Director who is himself a Muslim.
“Mr. Brennan did convert to Islam when he served in an official capacity on the behalf of the United States in Saudi Arabia,” Guandolo told interviewer and radio host Tom Trento.
Guandolo, who retired from the FBI in 2008, told the United States Trento Radio Show Brennan without a doubt converted to Islam in Saudi Arabia and visited Mecca and Medina during the hajj season along with Saudi officials. He went on to say that these Saudi officials may have been that catalyst to Brennan’s conversion.
“That fact alone is not what is most disturbing,” Guandolo continued. “His conversion to Islam was the culmination of a counterintelligence operation against him to recruit him. The fact that foreign intelligence service operatives recruited Mr. Brennan when he was in a very sensitive and senior U.S. government position in a foreign country means that he either a traitor … [or] he has the inability to discern and understand how to walk in those kinds of environments, which makes him completely unfit to the be the director of Central Intelligence.”
For what it's worth, Brennan did serve as CIA Station Chief in Riyadh in the 1990s. Today Brennan holds the official title of Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counter-terrorism. On Jan. 7, Obama nominated Brennan as the next director of the CIA, though he has yet to be confirmed. Brennan would take over the position from retired General David Petraeus, who resigned after a public scandal over an extramarital affair.
Earlier in 2010, Brennan spoke about his six-year residency in the Middle East in front of a group of New York University students and acknowledged visiting Mecca and Medina during the hajj season. Brennan spoke for several minutes in fluent Arabic, discussing his experiences with the Islam faith and his visits to Muslim and Arab countries.
According to Guandolo, this point of view shows that Brennan “is clueless and grossly ignorant of Al-Qaida’s strategy” and he “has interwoven his life professionally and personally with individuals that we know are terrorists.”

Appointment of chairman
The committee must appoint a district / parish councillor to chair the meeting.
Councillor Mrs Jenny Hollingsbee was appointed Chairman of the meeting.
Declarations of interest
Members of the Council should declare any interests which fall under the following categories*:
a) discloseable pecuniary interests (DPI)
b) other significant interests (OSI)
c) voluntary announcements of other interests
Councillor Mrs Jenny Hollingsbee made a voluntary announcement in that she

'A Charter for Otterpool Park'
Mr Chris Lewis, Planning Advisor, to give a presentation.
Mr Chris Lewis, Planning Advisor, gave a presentation on the Charter for Otterpool Park. He reminded members that he represented the Local Planning Authority not the promoters and the Charter considers the Council’s corporate aspirations for Otterpool.
The draft Charter draws on the Sustainability Wheel originally included in the Council’s Expression of Interest. The wheel uses a key of three different colours; green (environmental sustainability), purple (social sustainability) and blue (economic sustainability). Each slide represents a segment of the wheel and corresponds to one of the colours.
As Mr Lewis went through each slide members raised relevant questions which he responded to and members were asked to provide their observations on each page of the document in order that these could be included in a supplementary report to Cabinet on 18th October.
How can biodiversity be enhanced? Open space, create habitats, new areas of woodland, water/ponds.
Embracing and enhancing the natural landscape character.
What is advanced woodland block? Planting prior to planned construction.
Technology in energy generation and conservation.
Members asked whether there would be a local waste centre. Mr Lewis advised that there are no specific plans for a new municipal waste facility at the present time but this is an issue that will need considering with KCC who are the waste management authority.
Prioritise walking, cycling and sustainable transport.
The Committee expressed concern about car parking provision. Parking standards will be a requirement but the availability and use of public transport will be encouraged in the area. Underground parking could be an option in some locations.
Members noted the proposed cycle and pedestrian links to open spaces and asked if village greens could be protected.
Promote healthy and sustainable environments.
Members noted that medical facilities are struggling in Folkestone and on the Marsh. It was noted that future plans for Otterpool would include a health hub which would look to reach a wider area of the local population outside of Otterpool.
Members were reminded that a £250 million bid via Kent County Council has been made to the Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) which could potentially help fund schools and health centres.
Air quality was raised as an issue at Otterpool Park, particularly having regard to the close proximity of the proposed lorry area. Mr Lewis advised members that WYG had been employed to assess air quality issues regarding the lorry area and this issue would be assessed in detail as part of the planning process for Otterpool Park.
Providing new homes through a phased approach.
Initial development would be in the area of the station and at a lower density in a village style neighbourhood to the west. There would be a commitment to accessible and adaptable houses to cater for the changing needs of people during their lifetime.
Maximising the visibility and enjoyment of local heritage assets.
The potential role of Westenhanger Castle as set out in the draft charter was highlighted.
Although local heritage assets such ... view the full minutes text for item 13.

Girona airport is promoted misleadingly as “Barcelona Girona” in spite of the 90km which separate the two Catalan cities. As a result a large number of arrivals immediately rush off to Barcelona city without spending any time in Girona.
Others arrive here and transfer to their resorts on the Costa Brava. If your schedule allows then you really should try to spend some time in Girona itself which is one of Spain’s most attractive cities.
Getting to Girona
Places to Stay
There are some lovely hotels around Girona as well as many options along the Costa Brava.
Things to See & Do …
There’s plenty to keep you busy in Girona city as well as in the many lovely towns in the province.
Dali Museum Figueres
The city’s main historical attractions include its Roman ruins, the charming small streets of its Jewish quarter, the Arab Baths and the magnificent cathedral which dominates the whole city from high above the Onyar River.
Many visitors arrive on day trips from Barcelona or from the many resorts of the Costa Brava. Many of these excursions combine Girona with a visit to Figueres to the north where the world famous Dali Museum is located. Many of the best works of the local artist Salvador Dali, who comes from the nearby coastal village of Cadaques, are on display here.
