Croatia Tradition has it that on the Night of St Lawrence you should make a wish when you see one of the many shooting stars that blaze across the sky at this time of year Istria is particularly attractive to stargazers so a number of towns and villages hold special events around the occasion In Rovinj as torches line the waterfront and candles illuminate the terrace tables of bars and restaurants the Roxanne dance troupe will be giving a special performance through the streets and squares of the city the Trio Viècia Ruveîgno will be singing traditional regional songs with other acts due to appear along the waterfront Obala Alda Rismonda and around gallery-lined Grisia Elsewhere across Istria, there will be St Lawrence Night events in Premantura, Lupoglav and Nova Vas, which all stage folk festivals, while perhaps the most atmospheric celebration takes place at St Sophia’s Church, an early Christian landmark among the ruins of Dvigrad, near Kanfanar, where a concert takes place at 8pm on Friday For pure stargazing, there's no better place in Istria than the Observatory at Višnjan, which is holding special Astro Nights all through August, tickets available here. facebooktwitterinstagramAbout us became America's first space traveler as he made a 15-minute suborbital flight aboard Mercury capsule Freedom 7 Mexican troops repelled French attacks on the city of Puebla de los Ángeles in the Battle of Puebla Scopes was charged in Tennessee with violating a state law that prohibited teaching the theory of evolution a Japanese balloon bomb exploded on Gearhart Mountain in Oregon killing a pregnant woman and five children in a time of 1:59.4 - a record that still stands Irish Republican Army hunger-striker Bobby Sands died at age 27 at the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland on his 66th day without food Singapore caned American teenager Michael Fay for vandalism a day after the sentence was reduced from six lashes to four in response to an appeal by President Bill Clinton was convicted of 10 counts of murder in the "Grim Sleeper" serial killings in Los Angeles that targeted poor Today's Birthdays: Actor Lance Henriksen is 85 Olympic figure skating gold medalist Nathan Chen is 26 « Back When patients experience blood-vessel blockage that could lead to a stroke correcting the condition as soon as possible can be critical Take the case of a female patient who was stuttering over four days chairman of neurosurgery at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Hospital He knew that an MRI scan and an MR angiogram showed some vessel blockage and the woman was prescribed aspirin as a blood thinner A follow-up CT angiogram showed the same blockage "It was assumed she would be OK," Charbel said but the woman's condition continued to decline "What was not recognized was how bad her blood flow was." Charbel had previously conducted research on how restricted blood flow affects the brain and the importance of quantifying that flow correctly these are very high-risk patients," he said Charbel used a procedure based on quantitative MR angiography visualization software that he began developing some 15 years ago called NOVA (noninvasive optimal vessel analysis) and direction of blood flowing through any vessel in the body through a QMRA The woman was brought into the MR angiography suite at UIC where Charbel and colleagues reopened certain vessels in the brain in a "not-so-low-risk procedure," he said "We told the family there was about a 20% risk of death or serious complication there was a 100% chance she would not make it." With the additional information provided by NOVA and the QMRA the woman's vessels were successfully reopened "It was the lack of information that prevented people from recognizing how serious her condition was," Charbel recounted IL-based company that Charbel founded in 1999 and of which he currently serves as president said the company has reached a point in its development where it is "doing a reboot." VasSol is trying to get the word out about its two products -- albeit with a small staff -- through expanded distribution "I don't think the future of the company is necessarily for us to do distribution on our own," Doherty said "so we will be looking for a distributor or perhaps a large MRI company which may be interested in licensing the software to put it directly on a scanner." Charbel has long had an interest in stroke and vascular diseases of the brain and his work has been influenced by patients with restricted blood vessels "What was very striking is that we saw a lot of patients -- and still do -- who get different opinions from different people who are very knowledgeable," he said "Even we have different opinions on the same patient on different days I was disturbed by this and felt there was a need for some quantitative approach [to the discrepancies]." One solution would be to find a way to measure blood flow in blood vessels noninvasively because MRI has no risk associated with it It took a number of years to perfect the software and the MR quantitative procedure Image acquisition took as long as three to four hours and postprocessing required an additional eight to nine hours Given advances in technology over the past decade the process today takes approximately 20 minutes on a PC "It's all automated on-the-fly," Charbel said and you have the results as they come out of the magnet I look at it as a new era of quantitative medicine." VasSol began enrolling patients in the Vertebrobasilar Flow Evaluation and Risk of Transient Ischemic Attack and Stroke (VERITAS) study which was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Participants include Washington University in St The VERITAS study comes from one of Charbel's findings from using NOVA: that the brain can self-correct for any blockages in the cranial arteries The initial study that prompted NIH funding included approximately 60 patients who were scheduled for surgery to clear blocked vascular arteries "If [patients] are getting sufficient blood flow to the brain we will take them out of planned surgery and continue to treat the conditions medically," Doherty said "Their conclusion was that we can reduce the number of surgeries based on knowing the hematology of the entire patient and not just looking to determine if there is a blockage or not." VasSol has several potential extended applications for NOVA and QMRA in the works including their use in the fingers and hands The company is having some preliminary success regarding Raynaud's disease or other areas to become cold and turn blue or white The condition can cause ulcers because of the lack of circulation Food and Drug Administration (FDA)]-approved treatment for [Raynaud's] though there are multiple treatments that can be attempted medically and/or surgically," Charbel said there is no way to test the efficacy of such treatments." Charbel has developed a "cold hands" protocol for Raynaud's disease that has been validated; "we can measure blood flow in the fingers down to 0.8 mm," he said VasSol is looking at the possibility of using NOVA and QMRA for renal patients to measure blood flow in the renal arteries without using contrast agents "There are a number of renal patients who cannot tolerate contrast agents," Doherty said Another area of exploration is measuring blood flow in the ophthalmic artery in the eye given that some researchers believe glaucoma is a blood flow issue This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page several Croatian producers say the conditions look good for another award-winning year Croatian olive oil pro­duc­ers had a suc­cess­ful year at the 2018 NYIOOC receiv­ing a record 40 awards for 45 entries and Edi Družetić are opti­mistic about this year’s har­vest and plan to enter the com­pe­ti­tion again next year to con­tinue their suc­cess Croatian olive oil pro­duc­ers enjoyed an unprece­dent­edly suc­cess­ful year at the 2018 NYIOOC World International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC) Their suc­cess rate of 89 per­cent was the high­est of any coun­try that sub­mit­ted at least 10 oils in the 2018 edi­tion of the com­pe­ti­tion. Croatian pro­duc­ers also set records for Gold and Silver awards received.See Also:The best olive oils from Croatia “Olive oil pro­duc­tion is a con­stant chal­lenge whose ulti­mate goal is to achieve the utmost qual­ity,” Marija Buršić, of Buršić OPG, told Olive Oil Times. This year Buršić achieved just that, receiv­ing a Best in Class for her De Kleva blend “De Kleva is a com­bi­na­tion of five types of olives: the Istrian bjel­ica ​“It is rich in polyphe­nols and antiox­i­dants that are good for our health.” Buršić’s De Kleva had pre­vi­ously won a Gold at the com­pe­ti­tion and she plans to sub­mit it again next year She cred­ited the oil’s suc­cess to both her family’s cul­ti­va­tion tech­niques and the unique loca­tion of their olive groves a famil­iar theme among Croatian pro­duc­ers “Nature is a very impor­tant part­ner in pro­duc­tion,” Buršić said with its undu­lat­ing and sunny hills that veer towards the river The con­di­tions are excep­tional: nat­u­rally diverse olive groves an ideal ter­rain and an opti­mal micro­cli­mate.” While Buršić did not say how her har­vest is going this year com­pared with pre­vi­ous ones sev­eral other pro­duc­ers who took home some of the competition’s top hon­ors are opti­mistic that this year will be just as good as the last one “This year looks great for us,” Vedrana Rakovac, the owner of OPG Rakovac, told Olive Oil Times. Rakovac took home a Gold award for her Bilini blend Her Gold was one of 27 awarded to Croatian pro­duc­ers at the 2018 NYIOOC It’s been a great year for the Istrian cul­ti­var which is very promis­ing since Buža pro­vides oil of extra­or­di­nary qual­ity,” she said ​“This might be a fan­tas­tic year for our Bilini extra vir­gin olive oil.” This year was Rakovac’s first time enter­ing the NYIOOC Her Bilini had pre­vi­ously won awards at sev­eral Croatian olive oil com­pe­ti­tions and she felt that enter­ing an inter­na­tional com­pe­ti­tion with the pedi­gree of the NYIOOC was the next log­i­cal step for her brand Rakovac plans to enter the com­pe­ti­tion again next year and She is con­fi­dent that her oil will win again due to the com­bi­na­tion of her loca­tion “We believe that our Bilini extra vir­gin olive oil’s ​‘secret ingre­di­ent’ is the micro-loca­tion of our olive groves as well as the share of indi­vid­ual cul­ti­vars which give a unique taste to our blend,” Rakovac said our olive groves are posi­tioned on the very edge of the olive’s nat­ural habi­tat which tends to extract the best from them.” “I expect this year’s har­vest to be quite good just like the last few years were,” he told Olive Oil Times Družetić also attrib­utes the unique micro­cli­mate in the region of Istria to the suc­cess of Agroprodukt’s oils “The impor­tant dif­fer­ence from our Salvela Buža com­pared with other oils is the vari­etal which only grows in the south of Istria and has par­tic­u­larly nat­ural aro­matic val­ues,” he said Družetić said Agroprodukt plans on enter­ing the com­pe­ti­tion next year too and hopes to win more awards with their Salvela Buža and Torcol which did not receive any awards at the 2018 NYIOOC “We will cer­tainly be present for next year’s com­pe­ti­tion to con­firm the sta­tus of our oils,” he said According to the International Olive Council, Croatia pro­duced 5,000 tons of olive oil last year mak­ing the small east­ern European coun­try the eigh­teenth largest pro­ducer glob­ally the qual­ity of Croatian olive oils con­tin­ues to be world-renowned Most pro­duc­ers focus on qual­ity over quan­tity key for pro­duc­ers hop­ing to con­tinue their impres­sive track record at the 2019 NYIOOC “Each year’s har­vest is dif­fer­ent because of the weather influ­ence and there­fore chal­leng­ing,” Vedran Lupić of OPG Lupić Lupić and her hus­band won Croatia’s other Best in Class award for their Bembo Buža extra vir­gin olive oil She said that pro­duc­ing award-win­ning oil is the cul­mi­na­tion of care­ful har­vest­ing and high-qual­ity and good luck with the weather the weather which Croatia has largely had this sum­mer we fol­low year-round ten­der­ing and mod­ern agro-tech­ni­cal meth­ods with spe­cial atten­tion given to hand har­vest­ing in mid-October thereby elim­i­nat­ing and reduc­ing dam­age to the fruit,” she said “To prove to our­selves that we have done a good job we need to enter this com­pe­ti­tion

Europe Weather Many areas in Slovenia reached their coldest April morning over the last 100 years The official meteorological station Nova vas na Blokah peaked at -20.6 °C which has set a new all-time national record for the month of April since the records began Numerous extreme cold records also across other parts of central and western Europe deep freeze and morning frosts have been destructive the weather models were not wrong this time An unpreceded extreme cold has verified across many parts of Europe this Wednesday morning following the significant and historic snow a day before Snowfall with some accumulation was reported even at the seaside in Slovenia and Croatia islands (Kvarner area) the weather station Nova vas na Blokah hit -20.6 °C and set the new official lowest temperature for April (the previous record at the station Nova vas was -18.0 °C set on April 4th There was another record of -26.1 °C recorded with an unofficial weather station in the village Retje near Loški Potok The previous official record for Slovenia was held by station Pokljuka (elevation approx 1350 m ASL) Many areas across the northern Balkans have seen even lower temperatures than they were during the last winter 2020/21 In the case of the Notranjska region in Slovenia (e.g and Babno Polje) this was the colder morning of the winter 2021 set a new record having temperatures lower in April than January. Even if it happens in March, it is extremely rare. This is just a plain example of how extremely cold and historic event this event and this morning was for April The main reason for these extreme cold records is the Arctic cold air mass that spread across a large part of Europe this week Clear (no clouds) nights with barely any winds and fresh snow on the ground with dry air mass in the mid-levels are an ideal recipe for extremely cooling in the nighttime hours these temperatures were so extremely low that the ongoing blossoming fruit trees and early growing states of the vegetation were simply burned and destroyed Very low temperatures with record-breaking cold and damaging frost ware also reported from parts of England another night with very low temperatures is expected with possibly again going well below -10 °C in many areas This will give vegetation just another kick and worsen the situation and damage done this is the 5th year among the last 6 years when spring damaging frost occurs There will also be cold again on Friday morning It might be the new normal as the warming periods at the end of winter and in early spring are becoming quite frequent lately This helps vegetation to start earlier than usual making it even more vulnerable for any potential cold outbreaks that normally follow at the end of March or within the month of April The ongoing Arctic cold blast arrived less than a week after a very warm and locally record-warm period at the final days of March. The chart below (left one), provided by Scott Duncan reveals some of the most impressive values recorded on the 31st of March It was +25.3 °C in Ljubljana (Slovenia) +26.3 °C in Ettelbreck (Luxembourg) and +27.2 °C in Rheinau (Germany) Many areas set their new March maximum temperature records The chart on the right indicates the historic Arctic blast which brought extreme cold over much of Europe just 6 days after spreading over western Europe on the 5th and then 6th/7th over central Europe Becoming the historic and record-breaking cold outbreak for April Nova vas na Blokah hit -20.6 °C and set the new official lowest temperature for April in Slovenia (the previous record at the station Nova vas was -18.0 °C set on April 4th Below are some of the most impressive and record-breaking values this morning: not a part of the national meteorological station network But the records are still made with the proper equipment and WMO standards so this is comparable to the official records by the national meteorological agency (ARSO) also Croatia experienced extreme cold this morning Although the clouds remaining with the front departing last night the northern parts were badly hit with very low temperatures and indeed lead to a destructive frost The most impressive values in the lowlands can be seen below: All these areas and many others have low elevation so the early spring greenage and blossoming trees were ongoing So the damage done to the vegetation is significant to complete a bit higher places over the Gorski Kotar and Lika plateau pushed the morning temperatures extremely low Thanks to fresh snow and clear skies most of the night What is interesting about this cold blast over Europe this time is that it has affected a large part of the continent and the origin of the air mass is both the Arctic and maritime these extreme cold events in spring happen with drier The cold blast first spread over western Europe and then continued towards the central parts of Europe An impressive cold with the lowest temperatures pushing 5 to 9 °C below freezing in eastern Quite a cold morning also developed across England and Scotland Benson (England) hit an impressive -7.5 °C this morning Attached below are temperatures this morning (left chart) and tabular data for the lowest temperatures for Apr 6th and 7th Very low temperatures with record cold values were already reported across France on Tuesday thanks to the core of the cold pool spreading behind the Arctic front Numerous weather stations have set the all-time lowest temperature records for April those can be seen on the right side of the chart in the table breaking its previous record of -7.5 °C set on Apr 8th Saint-Martin-du-Mont (21) hit -6.9 °C and set its new record after the previous record of -5.3 °C on Apr 3rd Rouvroy-Les-Merles (60) broke its 40 years old record with -6.4 °C on Tuesday breaking the old one of -5.4 °C set on April 10th It appears likely that the upcoming Wednesday night and Thursday morning will bring another day with extremely low temperatures Thanks to the improved mid-level conditions winds have weakened and snow remains on the ground or just around the hills and mountains around the valleys The deep upper core with nearly -40 °C at 500 mbar height is just passing the northern Balkans with unstable weather Therefore we can expect it will be yet another rapid cooling overnight with the potential for some areas to reach even lower temperatures than they experienced this Tuesday morning The dewpoint temperatures are even below -10 °C in many areas snow showers and even thunderstorms are ongoing in very cold air mass One would say this is quite typical for April We are in for another very cold night and even worse damage to the growing vegetation which has been severely damaged or even totaled already this morning It will also be again quite cold over Germany The most intense cold will likely occur over the Balkan peninsula especially where the snow has accumulated last night The temperature will very likely slip into below -10 °C in some areas potentially even close to or below -15 °C over the most prone areas for extreme cold mornings (closed valleys with snow) ***Graphics by Wetterzentrale, Wxcharts, and Meteociel UPDATE: An extreme 100+ mbar pressure difference releases a historic Arctic cold blast towards

Network involving the arrest of two persons suspected of killing a missing Italian citizen were presented at a press conference held today Photo: The results of the investigation were presented by Dr Jurij Ferme Director of the Uniformed Police Directorate (middle) Head of Nova Gorica PD's Criminal Police Division (second from right) Assistant Head of Koper PD's Criminal Police Division Commander of Republika Srpska's Criminal Police Directorate (far left) Head of Mobile Police Team from Trieste (second from left)     The UPD-led operation included a successful search in Slovenia and an exemplary example of a suspect arrest action as a result of which the Trieste police requested Slovenia's assistance through Koper PD's Criminal Police Division The Italian citizen is said to have left home in order to sell his Mercedes SW The Slovenian police obtained some relevant information from Italian law enforcement agencies (concerning an alleged buyer for the car and a woman accompanying him the use of the missing person's bank card in Slovenia on 21 June and the names of people who potentially had contact with him that day) By collecting information in the areas of Sežana the police established that the missing Italian and his car had been recorded on the morning of 19 June 2011 at a Sežana service station He was accompanied by a man thought to be the buyer of the car Records also show that two suspects tried to use the Italian's bank card in different places that same day This information was communicated to the Croatian and Bosnian police The Croatian authorities reported that a metal grey Mercedes with Italian licence plates had entered Croatia on the evening of 19 June at Obrežje/Bregana and left the country at Slavonski Brod/Bosanski Brod It was established that the driver and the woman accompanying him were citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina the Slovenian police ascertained that the suspect had been a temporary resident and employee in the Nova Gorica area he had worked for a sole trader based in the Gorizia region the police analysed a sequence of mobile phone calls made from both the suspect and the missing man which led them closer to the whereabouts of the victim Since the victim's mobile phone was last connected to the Opatje Selo base station on 19 June 2011 on 8 July the Nova Gorica police assisted by Ljubljana and Novo Mesto PDs thoroughly searched the area Lokavica and a gravel road leading to and surrounding Cerje Hill (known as the Napoleon route) A male corpse was found at the foot of Cerje Hill shortly after the launch of the investigation An investigating judge from Nova Gorica District Court and a state prosecutor from Nova Gorica District State Prosecutor's Office arrived at the scene of the crime The investigating judge conducted an inspection of the crime scene and requested a forensic autopsy to be carried out on the victim which was performed on 9 July 2011 by the National Institute of Forensic Medicine The results confirmed the identity of the missing Italian citizen as well as the violent nature of his death The corpse found and the evidence collected served as a basis for a criminal complaint for manslaughter under paragraphs 2 and 4 of Article 116 of the Slovenian Penal Code The complaint was filed with Nova Gorica District State Prosecutor's Office on 9 July 2011 against a 29-year-old Bosnian male and a 28-year-old Bosnian female The search operation was based on an intensified exchange of information between the law enforcement authorities of Italy which is where the two suspects escaped to The investigating judge from Nova Gorica District Court issued European and international arrest warrants as well as a request for international legal assistance in criminal matters addressed to the judicial authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro Both suspects were apprehended on 11 July 2011 in Montenegro The Montenegrin police conducted house searches and placed the suspects in extradition detention House searches were also carried out by the Bosnian police following the suspects' arrest; a stolen scrap car was seized Forensic and other activities related to the collection of evidence are still ongoing in all the countries concerned The excellent cooperation that exists between the Slovenian and Montenegrin police again confirmed that crime is
