HeartPoint animation: this will take approximately 1 minute to load.
When the heart builds up blockages, it is often in more than one place. In this illustration, the patient has developed a 100% blockage of one artery (the Right Coronary Artery), while another vessel has several blockages including one at a branch point between the LAD and circumflex. Catheter techniques such as PTCA are of limited utility in both of these types of situations. In this illustration, a bypass surgery is being performed. Veins are taken from the leg, and sewn to the aorta, and then to the coronary arteries beyond the blockages.
The artery to the breast on the left (the left internal mammary artery or "LIMA") can be freed from the inside of the breast and used to bypass the left anterior descending coronary artery or its branches. In some cases , the right internal mammary artery (" RIMA") can be used to bypass the right coronary artery.

The day began at WXIA TV NBC sipping bottled water with TV doctor and Oprah pal Dr. Mehmet Oz ( he's really friendly and actually even more handsome in person) and ended at the St. Regis Hotel drinking a silky 2007 Estate Chardonnay with fabulous Napa winery owner Janet Trefethen of Trefethen Family Vineyards. http://www.trefethen.com/
The middle of the day found me talking "vegetarian"menu development with the wonderful staff of Good Measure Meals, a fresh gourmet delivered meals program. Eggplant torte, Acapulco Chile and Vegetable Lasagna dishes are wowing taste buds of vegetarians and non-vegetarians ( we'll call them Flexitarians!) as Good Measure Meals rolls out their 5 week ( breakfast, lunch and dinner) menu plans for clients who want to eat great, lose weight and do NONE of the work!! Good Measure Meals dietitians did all the work figuring out exactly how many calories in each menu and making sure that all the needed nutrients were there from protein, fiber and all the vitamins you need. The chef makes sure that all that nutrition meets taste bud requirements! http://www.goodmeasuremeals.com/
Oh..while I was interviewing Dr. Oz he asked, "Is it OK if I eat something while we chat?" He had been on a wild whirlwind schedule that morning....of course! He dove into a carton of Greek yogurt and small container of fresh blueberries. Meanwhile, lurking in the hallway....a WXIA producer with a package of donuts covered in powdered sugar with plans to spring it on him during a taped interview. You guess how it all turned out!
Oh, then it was off to lunch at Nan's Thai Fine Dining paired with Trefethen wines. My first Janet sighting of the day!! The Trefethen 2008 Estate Dry Reisling paired perfectly with the crispy calamari with three chili sauce. Red snapper with green mango salad with its slightly sweet and salty flavors was lovely and lively with the 2007 Estate Chardonnay. Janet remarked on their subtle winemaking approach ( read: no heavy oaking), "We think of our Chardonnay as a beautiful woman. She's lovely on her own and maybe needs a bit of mascara or hint of lipstick. But we would never cover her up with a lot of make up or we'd never find her."
What did Dr.Oz say about healthy dining out? His advice was to be a regular at your favorite places so you can get to know everyone in the dining room and in the kitchen, "If they know you and know what you like and how you liked things prepared it's easier for them and for you! Everyone loves regulars!" Good for business and your health, I guess.
By the way, when I told Dr. Oz I was having lunch with Janet Trefethen, he said, "I love Trefethen wines!" I'm sure he'd have enjoyed our lunch ........just what the doctor and dietitian ordered!

Maybe if we were high we'd have bought it.
We ran across this on mercadolibre.com. It's Ian Fleming's Goldfinger from Ediciones Albon, out of Colombia, published in 1964. The vendor was asking 200 for this. Pesos? No—dollars. That's a lot of plata. We'd rather spend the money on actual Colombian gold, so we took a pass. But we love the cover.
Don't worry! I'm going to get the three of you out of there!
Our girlfriends—affectionately PI-1 and PI-2—rolled their eyes at this one, and why wouldn't they? We did too, but we work with what we're given, and we certainly couldn't ignore the fact that this January 1969 Adam magazine features a cover of a woman whose gravity defying breasts are directly in the center of the art. Men's magazines, those concoctions of macho fantasy set to print, are inherently sexist, but we are mere documentarians of mid-century art, literature, and film—and crime, and weirdness, and sex—in the various forms they take. This one is a particularly eye-catching example.
While literary magazines published prestige fiction, men's mags like Adam carried on the pulp tradition, giving authors without highbrow leanings opportunities to expose their work to wide audiences. Without the efforts of such publications, modern literature might look very different. Stephen King, for example, published many of his early stories in Gallery, a middle-tier smut monthly nobody would have mistaken for Playboy. Speaking of which, Playboy published early works from Ian Fleming, Ursula K. Le Guin, and even serialized the entirety of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 in 1954, a year after its initial publication landed with a thud.
As far as we know Adam didn't produce any major writers except James Lee, aka Jim Aitchison, whose Mr. Midnight books were recently made into a series now streaming on Netflix. But failing to graduate lots of future bestselling authors doesn't change what Adam was—a publication that aimed for mass male appeal by merging all the elements of what was once known as pulp. Those elements included mystery, crime, war, exotic adventure, risqué humor, and a dose of relatively tame sexual content. We have all that and more below in thirty-plus scans, and something like seventy-eight issues of Adam embedded in our website.
For a fulfilling killing nothing beats a blade.
Today we have for your pleasure a collection of vintage paperback covers featuring characters on both the giving and receiving ends of knives—or knifelike tools such as icepicks. Above you see Harry Bennett art of a poor fella getting a knife from nowhere. Maybe Damocles did it. It's a funny cover because we don't think we'd grab our throats if we got stabbed in the spine, but let's hope we never find out. Below, in addition to numerous U.S. and British offerings, you'll see covers from France, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands. There are many, many paperback fronts featuring knives—we mean hundreds—but we decided to stop ourselves at thirty-two today. These do not represent the best (as if we could decide something like that), or our favorites, but merely some interesting ones we've come across of late. If you're super interested in this particular motif we have plenty more examples in the archives. They'd be hard to find, because we don't keyword for knives, so here are some links to get you there: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Hear that? Sounds like the approach of my next sexual conquest. Just grab your things and head out the side door.
Sean Connery died a few days ago at age ninety, so we think it's a good time to share a rarity we'd been hoarding for a while. Connery and Luciana Paluzzi star on the cover of this Japanese edition of Ian Fleming's James Bond thriller 007/Sandâbôru sakusen, better known to the world as Thunderball. This was put out by Hayakawa Books as a movie tie-in just before the film hit Japan in December 1965. Fleming originally published it in 1961 as a novelization of an unfilmed-at-the-time Bond screenplay by Kevin McClory, Jack Whittingham, Ivar Bryce, and Ernest Cuneo. That's a lot of people, and unsurprisingly there was rancor involved in who got credited before a court settled the issue. This is an awesome find, and the rear cover is interesting too. We'll have more rare Bond items a little later.
The deeper you go into this casino the wilder it gets.
Today we're circling back to James Bond—as we do every so often—to highlight these movie tie-in editions of Ian Fleming's Casino Royale. The movie these are tied into is not the 1963 original with Sean Connery, but the 1967 screwball version with David Niven as Bond and Woody Allen as Bond's nephew Jimmy Bond. If you haven't seen it, just know that it was terribly reviewed, with Time magazine calling it an “an incoherent and vulgar vaudeville.” These covers are derived from the Robert McGinnis Casino Royale movie poster, which is an all-time classic. McGinnis created two versions of the poster—one with text and one without, with the painted patterns on the female figure varying slightly. You see both of those below.
The paperback was published by both Great Pan and Signet, and the cover art was different for the two versions. The Great Pan version at top is McGinnis's unaltered work, but the Signet version just above was painted by an imitator, we're almost certain. We'd hoped to answer this for sure by visiting one of the numerous Bond blogs out there, but none of them have really discussed the difference between the 1967 paperback covers. That leaves it up to us, so we're going to say definitively that the Great Pan version was not painted by McGinnis. Whoever the artist was, they did a nice job channeling the original piece, even if the execution is at a much simpler level.
Moving back to the posters, if you scroll down you'll see that we decided to focus on the details of the textless version to give you a close look at McGinnis's detailed work. The deeper you go the more you see—dice, poker chips, glittery earrings, actor portraits, and more. If you had a huge lithograph of this on your wall and a tab of acid on your tongue, an entire weekend would slip past before you moved again. This is possibly the best work from a paperback and movie artist considered to be a grandmaster, one the greatest ever to put brush to canvas. If anyone out there can tell us for sure who painted the Signet paperback—or whether it is indeed McGinnis—feel free to contact us.
James Bond's daughter leaves the Soviets shaken and stirred.
The 1967 James Bond spoof Casino Royale was a box office disaster, but it had its moments. London born actress Joanna Pettet, playing Mata Bond, estranged daughter of Mata Hari and Sir James Bond (David Niven), performed an eye-catching, Buddhist-themed dance number in a faux temple that must have cost a huge chunk of the movie's budget. We don't know how actual Buddhists feel about the bit, but it looks like Pettet had a laugh or two. In the film she's sent to take on SMERSH, the Soviet spy agency that appeared in fictionalized form in Ian Fleming's Bond novels. Pettet appeared in a handful of other films, but her career mostly comprised television roles on shows such as The Fugitive and Night Gallery. Her Mata Bond dance is short but probably worth a look. You can see it while the link lasts here.
Filmgoers say yes to No and a franchise is born.
Since we've already talked about two movies inspired by Bond today, why not discuss the landmark that started it all? There had always been spy movies. Even the James Bond films, with their focus on high concept action and fantastical super villains, had predecessors. But United Artists, director Terence Young, Sean Connery, and the rest took the basic notes of those earlier efforts, wove them into a fresh composition, and cranked the volume up to eleven. This Spanish poster painted by Macario Gomez was made for the first Bond film Dr. No, which played in Spain as Agente 007 contra el Dr. No. Ian Fleming's novel had been published in 1958, and the film hit cinemas four years later. Like From Russia with Love, which we watched recently, we've seen it more than once, but not for years, and decided to screen it with fresh eyes.
We imagine audiences had never seen a spy movie quite like this, with its opulent production values and near-seamless construction. Set in Jamaica, the exotic locations are beautifully photographed, and while the filmmakers' portrayal of the island isn't necessarily authentic, it's immersive, and makes the required impression of a land of mystery and danger. An altogether different impression was made by the ravishing Ursula Andress, and we suspect once word got out certain filmgoers bought tickets just to see her. Joseph Wiseman's villainous Julius No, a few hi-budget gadgets, and a secret lair filled with expendable henchmen complete the set-up—and establish the Bond template for the future. Add the unflappable if occasionally imperious spy himself and the fun is complete.
The Bond franchise's success inspired scores of imitators, as discussed in the two posts above, but with a few exceptions those movies usually work today on the level of unintentional comedy or eye-rolling camp. Dr. No, despite Bond's interjections of humor, took itself seriously. Viewers were supposed to believe its most fantastic elements were possible. In addition, they were supposed to see Bond as the uber-male, a man who fights and loves hard, is virtually immune to sentiment, and never mourns losses for long. That notion of ideal manhood has certainly changed—for the better we'd say—but even accounting for the tectonic cultural shifts in the interim Dr. No holds up like the best vintage thrillers. It's stylish, charmingly simple, and—if one assesses it honestly—progressive for its time. It premiered in England in October 1962, and reached Spain today in 1963.
Famed author Ian Fleming arrested after strangulation rampage at his publishing company.
We talked about how Ian Fleming feuded with his publisher Perma Books over name changes to his James Bond novels. This is another one of the offending paperbacks, 1957's Too Hot To Handle. Not only had this book already been successfully published as Moonraker by the British hardback imprint Jonathan Cape, but the Lou Marchetti cover art Perma used doesn't fit the Bond brand at all. Signet Books did infinitely better when it got the rights in 1960. As far as Fleming trying to strangle everyone at Perma, we can't confirm that as fact. But we bet he thought about it.
Garzanti cover for Bond collection is absolutely favoloso.
Here's a little something to add to the Ian Fleming bin. This is Il favoloso 007 di Fleming, published in Italy in 1973 by the Milan based company Garzanti. It's a compendium of the four James Bond novels Casinò Royal, Vivi e lascia morire, Il grande slam della morte, and Una cascata di diamanti, better known as Casino Royale, Live and Let Die, Moonraker, and Diamonds Are Forever. The cover for this is great, we think, and as a bonus the interior also contains some black and white photos.
But really, we were drawn to this because of the model and her fishnet bodysuit. Or is that lace? Doesn't matter. She's none other than Claudine Auger, aka Domino from 1965's Thunderball. Sean Connery gets a corner of the cover as well, and the rear is interesting too, with its shark and cards from To Live and Let Die. Technically, those cards should be tarots, but whatever, nice art anyway. And speaking of nice, we also located the photo used to make the cover, and you see that below too. Really cool collector's item, which we'd buy if we read Italian. But alas, that isn't one of our languages, so this one still languishes at auction.
The sky's the limit in third Bond thriller.
Ian Fleming's Moonraker is James Bond's third literary outing and it sees him trying to prevent the detonation of a loose nuke. If you've never read a Bond book, you may want to know that in addition to being thrillers they're hardcore car and food porn. Fleming takes pains to describe engines, exhausts, gearing; then he'll turn toward flavors, ingredients, and vintages. In Moonraker a chapter long car chase is a tour de force. A meal in a private club is almost as exciting. The rarefied world of three digit speed and three star dinners drew us in almost as much as the plot. But the main takeaway from this book for us is that it was absolutely murdered by United Artists when adapted for the screen. They left nothing but the title and the name of the villain. It's worth reading just to experience Fleming's original vision. This 1960 Signet edition has Barye Phillips cover art, and it's a bit different for him but very nice.
The headlines that mattered yesteryear.

A Somali hardline Islamist cleric allegedly linked to al-Qaida says he has assumed leadership of Somalia's main opposition group.
The cleric, Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, takes over as head of the Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia (ARS). The Alliance earlier said it had elected him.
Aweys replaces Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, who denounced the move.
Ahmed's ouster came after he attended U.N.-sponsored peace talks with the government held in Djibouti last month. During the talks, Ahmed signed a peace agreement with Somalia's Ethiopian-backed transitional government.
Aweys and other hardline members of the opposition boycotted the talks and rejected the agreement, saying it should have included an immediate withdrawal of Ethiopian forces from Somalia.
Separately, Somalia's foreign minister, Ali Ahmed Jama, Wednesday urged the U.N. Security Council to deploy an international peacekeeping force to his country.
Islamist fighters have been waging an insurgency against Somalia's Ethiopian-backed interim government for 18 months.
The agreement between Somalia's government and former ARS leader Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed calls for Ethiopian troops to withdraw within 120 days if a U.N. stabilization force of sufficient strength is in place to replace them.
Jama says his government is fully committed to implementing its obligations under the Djibouti agreement, and it expects the ARS to meet its commitments as well.
Somalia has not had a stable central government in 17 years.
More than 8,500 people have been killed in the violence, while more than a million others have been displaced.

Simone Signoret titled her autobiography Nostalgia Isn’t What It Used To Be, drawing upon the original quote by Peter de Vries. Under the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s onslaught on every existing article of faith, from dietary habits to the right to life of minorities, some Indians have located their political faith in nostalgia. The cosmopolitanism of Jawaharlal Nehru, the asceticism of Mohandas Gandhi, the pragmatism of Indira Gandhi, and even the romanticism of the 1960s Hindi movies have been summoned. Ironically, even the BJP appears nostalgic when it harks back to ideas of state-led development, scientific temper and the space programme, and of austerity in the face of schemes such as demonetisation. Indians in the first flush of Independence were willing to tighten their belts and listen to what they were told to do in the national interest. We are now called upon to be patriotic, nationalist, obedient, decent, and Hindu.
However, amidst this general warm nostalgia for times past and the good days of yore, presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the good days to come, any historian worth their salt has to ask whether the past indeed was a different country. Did the rot set in somewhere down the line, or did we start with our feet mired in a swamp? Given the communal riots of 1946 and the carnage of the Partition that attended the birth of the nation, did we like Macbeth just say, “I am in blood stepped in so far, that should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o’er.”
It is said that as people grow older, the run-up to their birthday causes them greater anxiety. We stand on the 70th birthday of the Indian republic, and the government is suggesting rock shows in parks and tanks in universities, and other diverting measures. As a liberal historian, with the disquiet building up in my heart, I thought of the bedrock of our democracy, the Constitution. As debate rages over the reach of Aadhaar, the biometric-based 12-digit unique identification number, the government is insisting on an “originalist” interpretation of the Constitution, that is, the founders never envisaged the right to privacy.
The Constitution appears both protean and procrustean, depending on where you stand, and what you think is worth saving. So, I turned to the Constitution, as some turn to their rosaries, and flipped the pages, I must admit, with nostalgia. This was the illustrated edition with ivory white pages, edged with decorative curlicues, in copperplate calligraphy done in gold, with each chapter headed by an illustration. A document much suited to epiphany.
Rights of man
The Constituent Assembly met for the first time in Delhi on December 9, 1946, and its last session was held on January 24, 1950. Nehru demanded much of the document in the making: “The first task of this Assembly is to free India through a new constitution, to feed the starving people, and to clothe the naked masses, and to give every Indian the fullest opportunity to develop himself according to his capacity.”
When it was finally adopted in 1950, Nandalal Bose and his students and colleagues at Santiniketan were commissioned to provide illustrations to the Constitution, condensing in images, the spirit of freedom, equality and fraternity. The images were to be drawn from history, reflecting the discovery (and at times, invention) of India. The list of illustrations is diverse, from the Mohenjodaro seal to Vedic ashrams, scenes from Buddha and Mahavira’s life to portraits of Akbar, Shivaji and Tipu Sultan – 24 illustrations in all. The chronology ran from Mohenjodaro through Vedic, Epic, Mahajanapada, Maurya, Gupta, Muslim and British eras to the freedom struggle and the revolutionary movement (Subhas Chandra Bose, not Bhagat Singh).
The chapter on Fundamental Rights is headed by a “Scene from the Ramayana (Conquest of Lanka and recovery of Sita by Rama)”. This is, to say the least, curious. Who is exercising their fundamental right here, certainly not the hapless citizens of Lanka or the headless, and dead, monarch of that island? Could it be Sita? But what right could she be possibly asserting as she is repossessed? In the quote, the agency is that of Rama who has recovered Sita, who rightfully belongs to him, though he is going to see this as a dubious privilege down the line. The word “recovery” is resonant here and brings in a particular history that cast its shadow over the deliberations of the Constituent Assembly as much as the birth of the nation. In 1948, Rameshwari Nehru wrote an article on the “important question of recovery of abducted girls” from the Dominions of India and Pakistan and ended with the disheartened assessment that only 14,094 women had been recovered.
In the turmoil of the Partition and the mass migration and forced removal of people between the two nascent nations, women had borne the brunt of violence related to honour, revenge and lust. Urvashi Butalia and Veena Das have written poignantly about how women came to be seen as the repositories of honour within the community, and of how men killed their sisters, daughters and wives rather than having them fall into the hands of hordes from another religion. Those that survived one vicious patriarchy fell victim to another, as they were abducted and carried across borders, converted and, in many cases, entered into familial arrangements with their abductors. For the Indian nation in the making, Hindu women had to be brought back, to be recovered from the New Lanka, willingly or otherwise. As Das writes, the woman’s body became proxy for territory. The Constituent Assembly, the popular press and nationalist men argued themselves hoarse over the fundamental right of the Hindu man over the Hindu woman so wrongly abducted by the Muslim tyrant. What rang through these discussions was the outrage of a Hindu mind that dared speak its name.
“In my beginning is my end,” the poet TS Eliot once said. Nostalgia cannot be what it used to be.

Organisms and regulating mechanisms in the production and decomposition of halogenated hydrocarbons
This project aims to understand the effective release of VHOCs from the surface ocean to the atmosphere on the process level. Therefore, the coupling between biological production and biological decomposition of these gaseous compounds needs to be analyzed.
This will be achieved by combined analyses of cruise data as well as mesocosm and laboratory experiments, concentrating mainly on: molecular-biological analyses of CHBr3 and CH3I degrading organisms, a description of VHOCs concentration and isotopic values, laboratory experiments to assess species-specific production and decomposition patterns of VHOCs.
Most of these studies are in close collaboration with other SOPRAN sub-projects.

Samsung Galaxy S7 rumored to last more than 17 hours playing full-bright video
While we could rehash battery issues on the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, the sheer endurance we’re talking about here blows away a lot of other devices. Does our Michael Fisher still have the Huawei Mate 8? Maybe he can have some fun with a full-brightness video test. One Russian leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S7 can last 17 hours in such a test before powering off.
Samsung has pushed around its second-generation 14nm FinFET process in its Exynos 8 Octa cores. But between innovations in battery charging and discharging and Android Marshmallow and the above, we really don’t know what to make of this. And given that the S7 edge has a battery reportedly 600mAh better than the 3,000mAh on the S7, we’d like to see what’s going on with that device.
But without substantiation, we guess we’ll have to get our hands on the S7 ourselves and do the testing in front of our eyes.

Ojuk Livingstone, the one who’s sued.
By witnessradio.org Team
Mubende – Uganda – Ojuk Livingstone, a police Officer attached to Mubende district Police, also an Investigating Officer (IO) in matter of 28 land rights defenders currently under trial on nine (9) counts including murder has been dragged to court over torture.
In the matter filed on 06th/03/2020 before Mubende High Court, Ojuk, 45, a detective Corporal is accused of torture, stabbing, causing body injuries and detaining Ssenkula Charles beyond 48 hours and among other inhumane and degrading treatment while conducting investigations.
Ssenkula in his affidavit alleges that on the 5th of December 2019 while at a bar in Kyebumba, Mubende, he was arrested by Ojuk and other police officers who subjected him to death threats, kicking, slapping, blind folding, punching, sleep deprivation and other forms of torture. He involuntarily made some admissions to certain facts due to duress and was detained beyond the 48 hours stipulated by law.
The application against the police officer and Attorney General is backed by the affidavit of Morgan Muhindo, a lawyer from Kiiza and Mugisha advocates who asserts that the said police officers tortured and treated Ssenkula in a degrading and inhuman manner.
Ssenkula is now seeking that the Mubende high court issues an order directing the respondents to compensate him with general damages for the torture and human rights violations, punitive damages for the unconstitutional conduct by his tormentors and aggravated damages for the continuous beatings and maltreatment by the respondents. He also wants his tormentors to pay for the cost of the application.

...and the fun part is: he wants the voters to pay $8 million for the privilege of subverting their own will...
Rep. Andy Tobin (R-Paulden), the Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives, has introduced HB2710, HCR2051, HCR2052, HCR2053, and HR2005. If passed, they would mandate a special election in May where the voters would be "asked" to amend the independent redistricting provisions in the Arizona constitution.
HB2710 would call the special election.
If passed by the voters, HCR2051 would take the "independent" out of "independent redistricting commission". It would take the current 5-member Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (AIRC), where no political hacks are allowed (meaning no party precinct committeemen, or PCs. Full disclosure: I'm a Democratic PC, so I can call PCs "hacks." :) ) and turn it into a cesspool of hackery, with 12 politically-appointed members. It would also remove the requirement under current law that there be an Independent member of the AIRC. In addition, it would remove the requirement that the Arizona Commission on Appellate Court Appointments screen the applicants.
[start sarcasm] Obviously, as the judicial branch of government in Arizona is the only branch the receives, or is even worthy of, respect for its professionalism, so it shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the redistricting process. [end sarcasm]
If passed by the voters, HCR2052 and HCR2053 would scrap the the legislative and Congressional maps, respectively, in favor of maps drawn by Tobin.
HR2005 is a resolution where the legislature (or to be realistic, the Republicans in the legislature) pledge to base their maps on the scribblings and the electoral alchemy of the Republicans' own Andy Tobin.
It's "alchemy" because Tobin is trying to turn the iron clauses of the Arizona constitution into a golden opportunity for job security for the Capitol's elected Republicans.
Even more infuriating than Tobin et. al.'s open contempt for the will of the voters (we are the ones who created the independent redistricting process specifically to take it away from legislators interested only in serving their own self interests above all else) or even the best interests of the people of Arizona (we are served best by public officials who have to answer to the entire electorate in their districts, not just a few partisan extremists) is his plan to have the voters pay (subscription required) more than $8 million for the special election/Hail Mary pass. On top of that, Tobin has defended (subscription required) the secrecy that shrouded his drawing of the maps that he wants to implement, and the use of a taxpayer-funded employee of the legislature, John Mills, to aid him in his quest to overthrow the voters' independent redistricting process.
An interesting two-step for someone who has criticized the AIRC for spending too much money (expenses incurred in part to deal with the litigation stemming from previous attempts to subvert the process by elected Republicans) and has complained that the AIRC's dozens of meetings and hearings with hundreds of hours of testimony isn't transparent enough.
Note: in this context, "interesting" is a synonym for "hypocritical." In case you couldn't figure that out on your own. :)
Of course, Tobin's scheme pre-supposes that...
a) the other Republicans in the lege go along with Tobin's scheme (IMO, highly likely);
b) the voters go along with Tobin's scheme (IMO, less likely, but given that a special election would be a low-turnout affair dominated by partisan GOTV efforts, definitely possible); and
c) the US DOJ goes along with Tobin's scheme (IMO, highly unlikely given the secrecy and deliberate exclusion of minority groups specifically and the public in general from the crafting of his maps).
On the other hand, Tobin's proposals are so sloppily written that it makes me wonder if this is more about posturing for his caucus or for the inevitable redistricting-related lawsuits than anything else.
As written, HCRs 2052 and 2053 appear to be mutually exclusive. They each propose to amend the same part of the Arizona constitution by inserting identically labelled clauses.
Now, I'm just a layman with no advanced (or even beginning-level) legal education or experience, but it seems any credible attempt to amend the Arizona constitution would at least be correctly written, especially as it comes from putative subject matter experts such as Tobin and his "associate" Mills.
However, given that Tobin's maps guarantee him a safe district, credibility may not have been a consideration in Tobin's scheming, just ensuring his continued seat on the West Washington Gravy Train.
As near as I can tell, the measures haven't been agendized for committee consideration as yet, probably because they haven't been assigned to any as yet while they await for the Speaker to "first read" the bills and assign them to committee. The timing of that and the specific committee that they are assigned to is completely within the Speaker's discretion and is often subject to the vagaries of the relationship between the introducing sponsor and the Speaker.
In this case, I expect the measures to be formally introduced, First Read, and assigned to committee on Monday.
Something tells me that Rep. Andy Tobin is on good terms with Speaker Andy Tobin. :)

Business immigration has become increasingly popular in recent years. Many potential entrepreneurs and business professionals migrate to countries with attractive business climates.Doing business in a new country can be exciting and scary at the same time. It may seem challenging to start your own company abroad. But it can also offer unique opportunities you would not have access to domestically.
Business immigration is a great way to expand your business into foreign markets while taking advantage of the resources available in a new country.From access to new markets, cheaper labour costs, and beneficial tax incentives. There are several compelling reasons for entrepreneurs to consider moving to another country. In this article, we’ll explore the reasons why business immigration may be right for you and provide some helpful tips on getting started.
Overview Business Immigration
Business immigration is a process that allows entrepreneurs and business owners to move to another country to establish, purchase, or operate a business. In some cases, business immigration may also be available for those who want to invest in an existing company or start their own business.
Business immigrants are typically given special visas or permits to stay in the host country and work on their business ventures. It is different from regular immigration, which usually involves individuals looking for employment opportunities and permanent residency.It is an important part of economic growth in many countries, as it encourages foreign investment and creates new jobs.
Reasons You Should Consider Business Immigration
There are several reasons you should consider business immigration. Here are a few of them:
Access to New Markets
One of the biggest advantages of business immigration is the potential access to new markets. Moving to a different country opens you to new customers, clients, and opportunities.
Cheaper Labour Costs
Moving to an area with lower labour costs can help you save money in the long run. In many countries, wage rates are significantly cheaper than those of developed nations. It can be especially beneficial for businesses that require a lot of employees or are highly labour-intensive.
If you’re looking for tax advantages, business immigration could be the right move for you. Many countries offer attractive tax incentives to draw in new businesses and entrepreneurs. These can include reduced corporate taxes, exemptions on certain income levels, or even eliminating certain taxes.
Access to Financing and Loans
Many countries offer attractive financing and loan options for businesses looking to expand or invest.Business immigrants often need help finding access to financing and loans for their businesses due to a lack of established credit history in the country. Some avenues include crowdfunding, government grants, and special funds that can provide the required investment.
Opportunity for Professional Growth
Business immigration presents a great opportunity for professional growth for many individuals. Business immigrants can benefit from working in a globally connected company and even have access to better job opportunities than those within their own countries. It also provides an excellent platform for building international collaborations, which can open doors to business and personal success.
Increased Job Security
Business Immigration law often offers workers increased job security. With Business Immigration, employers can hire foreign nationals for continuous employment over a long period. It can benefit employers and employees by removing uncertainty and instability from the equation and guaranteeing the continuity of services or jobs.
Improved Work Culture and Employee Retention
Business immigration plays a key role in improving workplace culture and employee retention. Businesses can use immigration to tap into a larger talent pool, build an intercultural workforce, and reduce staff turnover. As skilled workers from around the world are brought in, it creates opportunities for knowledge exchange with their new team members, which helps move the business forward. Creating a diverse working environment will improve company culture and can help increase employee loyalty.
Access to Advanced Technology and Education Opportunities
Business immigration is one of the key pathways that give people from all walks of life access to advanced technology and education opportunities. Business immigrants often lack the needed funds and resources to immigrate easily, but they can tap into the various investment led-programs available to them.
It helps open the door for business immigrants to pursue cutting-edge technology, educational courses, certification programs, and specialized skills training. By accessing these opportunities abroad, business immigrants can create a better life for themselves both financially and psychologically.
Lower Living Costs in Desirable Locations
For those looking to reduce their living costs without sacrificing their quality of life, Business Immigration can provide the perfect solution.Business Immigration is a group of programs offered by countries worldwide that make it easier and faster for entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals to get a temporary residence permit. It allows them to relocate to desirable locations abroad, where living costs would otherwise be too expensive.
What are the Requirements for a Business Immigrant Visa?
In order to be eligible for a business immigrant visa, applicants must meet the following requirements:
- Have sufficient funds to establish and maintain their business in the host country
- Experience running or managing a similar business outside of the host country
- Entrepreneurial skills or management experience that would make them successful business owners
- A realistic business plan that outlines their business goals and objectives
- Meet all other local laws and regulations applicable to foreign businesses in the host country
- Pass a background check and have no criminal history
- They can prove they are not a security risk and have no intentions to commit any illegal activities in the host country.
- Have sufficient health insurance coverage while in the host country
- Show evidence of their education and any professional qualifications or certifications necessary for their business venture.
- Pass an English language proficiency test, if required
- Have valid travel documents and a valid passport
- Submit any additional paperwork or information that may be requested by the relevant government agency in charge of granting business visas
What is Business Immigration law?
Business immigration law deals with the movement of people across international borders to conduct business. It is a field of law that establishes the rights and responsibilities of foreign nationals who seek to temporarily or permanently pursue economic activities in another country. Business immigration laws generally focus on the ability of foreign investors, workers, and entrepreneurs to enter and remain in the country of their choice.
Visa Categories of Business Immigration

Ski mountaineering is my endurance passion…
Do you mean ski touring or skimo racing? The training and demands are different.
..even though Scott has said you won’t improve doing stairmaster two days a week
Me or Scott J.? If so, can you link to the comment for context?
, some of my training during COVID has been inside on elevated treadmill and stairmaster and stairclimber……I sometimes use ankle weights (I think 2.5 lb each) thinking that skis boots and skis in the real world are certainly weights……anyway on one of the skimo podcasts here a month or two ago it was opined that the best uphill ski training was actually with the LIGHTEST boots and skis !?
Again, it depends what you’re training for. In general, going light, increasing speed, and then adding weight is more effective (across a wide variety of uphill sports) than it is to add weight from the beginning (and practice going slow.)
So question regarding training (zone one and two especially) what role should (or not) training be with ankle weights? if, when, what situations? what strategy?
As suggested above, I would start with building lightweight speed and then gradually introduce extra weight. A big part of skimo racing is a high cadence and becoming efficient at it. Adding weight prematurely will interrupt that practice. But if it’s ski touring we’re talking about, then cadence is less of a factor because it’s no one’s racing (usually.)

Legendary soul band lose one of their founding members
Bobbie Smith of the soul group The Spinners, passed away on Saturday (March 16, 2013) at the age of 76. Smith’s manager released a statement, reported on today by Associated Press, to confirm that the soul singer had passed away as a result of complications from pneumonia and influenza. He had also been diagnosed with lung cancer back in November 2012. Smith was one of the founding members of The Spinners and remained a member even until last year, with the band performing regularly on the ‘oldies circuit,’ Los Angeles Times reports.
Bobbie Smith and Henry Fambrough were two of the band’s founding members and continued to perform together until recent times. They formed in high school, in 1957, along with George W. Dixon, Billy Henderson and Pervis Jackson. Their first top 10 hit came in 1961 with the track ‘That’s What Girls Are Made For.’
The Spinners later recorded for the legendary Motown label, though they were best known for their work with the arranger and songwriter Thom Bell, with whom they helped to define the distinctive Philadelphia soul sound. The Spinners had a number of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including their final hits, which were disco medleys of ‘Working My Way Back to You/Forgive Me Girl’ and ‘Cupid/I've Loved You for a Long Time.’

Unlike an intercooler, which cools air between turbo charging stages, an aftercooler cools after the turbo charging period.
For The Best Performance of your Engine
Aftercoolers are charge air coolers which cool and remove moisture from compressed air. Since the air that comes out of the air compressor is hot, it contains large quantities of water in vapour form. The as the aftercooler cools the air, the vapour condenses into liquid form and can then be removed. A moisture separator is installed at the discharge of the aftercooler to remove most of the liquid and solids from the compressed air. The greatest advantages of this is that heat and moisture damage is reduced while the overall output power is increased.
If you need your aftercooler tested, serviced or replaced, A-ONE CHARGE AIR COOLERS is at your service in Sydney. Call us now for more information.


PayPal users in the UK can now buy, sell, and hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptos
With its success in the U.S., PayPal plans to expand its crypto service to other countries aside from the U.K.
Mon, 23 Aug 2021, 14:56 pm UTC
PayPal has now expanded its crypto services in the UK. With the move, users in the country can now buy, sell, and hold Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) starting this week.
PayPal announced the expansion of its crypto services to U.K. users on Monday, allowing them to buy cryptocurrencies via its mobile app and its website, according to Reuters. The move marks the payments giant’s first expansion of its crypto services outside the U.S.
With its crypto services, PayPal hopes to encourage the use of cryptos and usher in the mainstream adoption of digital currencies. The company is one of the largest financial firms in the world with over 403 million active users globally.
"We are committed to continue working closely with regulators in the UK, and around the world, to offer our support— and meaningfully contribute to shaping the role digital currencies will play in the future of global finance and commerce,” PayPal vice president and general manager for blockchain, crypto, and digital currencies Jose Fernandez da Ponte said.
The San Jose, California-based financial services company first rolled out its crypto services to U.S. users late last year. The company later allowed customers to use their digital currencies to pay at the millions of merchants on its platform.
“It has been doing really well in the U.S.,” Jose Fernandez da Ponte told CNBC. “We expect it’s going to do well in the U.K.”
With the rising popularity of cryptos such as Bitcoin and Ether, the service is well-received among American consumers. With its success in the U.S., PayPal plans to expand the product to other countries aside from the U.K.
“We definitely have ambitions to continue to expand the product range in the U.S., the U.K., and other markets,” da Ponte added. “We are very deliberate about starting with initial functionality, and then we’ll see where the market is going to take us. Different markets have different appetites for products.”

20 in 20 August Report
Here we are, at the end of August, and suddenly I’m wondering where 2020 has gone. How can this be? School is back in session where I live, and all of a sudden I’m in my car again as the days whiz by. Honestly, I was NOT ready for this. I kind of liked having life slow down. My 20 in 20 August report is a little different because of it.
Am I still sewing? Yes. Mostly in the car, which means hand sewing. I love hand sewing, but most of the things I SHOULD be working on require a machine. So I’m falling behind on deadlines as I stitch in my car in various parking lots. I suppose that’s the way life goes, and I know everything will work out.
I haven’t sewn the half rectangle triangle blocks to add to my quilt. They require a machine. But I am keeping a record of my sewing in my planner so I can make the right colored blocks as soon as I have time. Hopefully I’ll find time to embroider a few important dates on them like I’ve done for the last few months. The first day of school definitely needs to be on there, don’t you think?
I’m reminding myself that the purpose of my
20 in 20 goal
was simply to keep sewing. To see, at the end of the year, how it adds up. So I’ll keep stitching!
The essence of my 20 in 20 August report is simply this: I’m still doing it! And that is enough.

Hundreds of thousands of Individuals are vulnerable to being evicted from their properties in 2021. Analysis reveals that evictions usually lead to a myriad of unhealthy public well being outcomes, together with an elevated unfold of COVID-19.
Earlier this yr, Well-liked Science reported that greater than 20 million Individuals doubtlessly confronted homelessness when the federally-imposed moratorium on evictions lifted in late September. Happily, that final result has but to occur, because the moratorium has been prolonged—at press time, till January 31, 2021. However 1000’s of evictions have nonetheless taken place this yr, and the disaster that has saved individuals from paying hire nonetheless holds sway.
“When it was first issued, the moratorium had a chilling impact on eviction filings,” Emily Benfer, a regulation professor at Wake Forest College, informed Well-liked Science in an e mail. Nevertheless, Benfer stated, that chilling impact was “shortly eroded” by a CDC order that allowed landlords to file evictions and problem tenant claims for protections. The primary eviction moratorium was issued by Congress within the spring, however initially of September, the federal authorities acted via the CDC to subject a brand new, even much less sweeping moratorium whose phrases had been largely set by a CDC steerage doc. Critics famous that the CDC steerage created additional inconsistencies in how evictions had been processed in the course of the moratorium.
It additionally added a brand new burden to tenants. With a view to be lined by the moratorium, renters must submit paperwork demonstrating they make lower than $99,000 per earner and that homelessness or dwelling with others in shut proximity could be their solely choices if evicted. Moreover, the choice staved off the eviction disaster however didn’t stop it: With no federal cash behind the steerage, the underlying downside that resulted in hire nonpayment continues to exist.
“The moratorium’s effectiveness was additional undermined by inconsistent implementation, lack of enforcement, no tenant training, and landlord challenges,” Benfer stated. This yr, greater than 160,000 evictions have been filed by landlords.
In lots of instances, an eviction submitting is sufficient to get tenants to maneuver out, regardless that it technically is barely the beginning of a bigger course of and tenants will not be legally required to maneuver out upon receiving the discover. It’s possible that a big fraction of these eviction filings will lead to an eviction, Benfer stated, though for now “most of the filed instances should still be on maintain due to the CDC moratorium or native bans.”
Most of the well being harms related to eviction, together with poverty, psychological trauma, and the next burden of illness, have been recognized for a very long time, however public well being specialists are solely starting to know how COVID-19 components in. One other main subject with measuring eviction’s public well being burden is that, till a couple of years in the past, no nationwide eviction tracker existed. As Well-liked Science reported earlier this yr, Princeton College’s Eviction Lab created the primary nationwide database to trace evictions, however it’s nonetheless tough to place numbers on the impression of those ejections as a result of the federal government doesn’t monitor them uniformly.
Nonetheless, filings have “but to achieve historic ranges,” Benfer stated. However with out protections lasting past the tip of January, tens of hundreds of thousands of individuals face eviction early subsequent yr, which is able to additional worsen the pandemic’s public well being results.
The newest federal help bundle consists of $25 billion for hire help, however far extra money will likely be wanted, Bloomberg studies. And as Forbes studies, specialists are involved that an extension till the tip of January gained’t depart sufficient time for federal help to be disbursed.
Which means one thing must occur between now and the tip of January. Benfer has one reply: “The federal authorities should handle the instant disaster by issuing an efficient eviction moratorium that applies to all evictions and all renters uniformly.”

Yay, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
(I’m really tempted to end the post here, but I won’t.)
I’ve always been fascinated by how Alice in Wonderl and has spread and propagated fascinating cultural ideas. Though, I suspect Jefferson Airplane had a lot to do with it, the novel is one of my favorite as is the sequel. I’ve read them both many times and if you want to read them many times, then you can find them free online all over if you’ve never read it.
I, of course, agree with Alice. There’s not much use for a book if it doesn’t have any pictures in it, so I offer these illustrations. The outfit on the left is inspired by Alice herself and the right look is based on the Mad Hatter. Enjoy both the outfits and the paper doll.
On a semi-unrelated note, there will be Puck paper dolls up on Sunday and more sketchbook images next week as I take more photos of what I have been working on.

Casting for male leads in Stephanie Meyer’s ‘The Host’ is underway
Stephanie Meyer’s novel The Host is being adapted into a movie. With the lead female role already cast by the lovely Saoirse Ronan, the competition is now on for the lead male roles.
Indie Wire reports :
Take note, young directors. This is why you attach yourself to projects before your next movie comes out. While the middle performance and dreadful reviews for the pretty idiotic “In Time” would have sidelined any director, Andrew Niccol was savvy enough to sign on to “The Host,” an adaptation of a novel by “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer and with a release date already pegged, this one is beginning to cast up.
With Saoirse Ronanalready set for the lead, Variety reports that the hunt is on for her two male co-stars. The story is set in the near future where alien parasite “souls” benevolently take over the consciousness of humans. One such “soul” named Wanderer inhabits the body of a dying woman, Melanie Stryder, who just happens to be obsessed with finding the last group of surviving humans. The high concept film will find Ronan taking both roles of Wanderer and Melanie in the picture, which is certainly an intriguing prospect. As for the dude parts?
Liam Hemsworth, Kit Harington, Jai Courtney and Max Irons are testing for the part of Jared, Melanie’s boyfriend. Meanwhile, Dane DeHaan, Thomas McDonnell, Augustus Prew and Jake Abel will compete to play Ian, the “menacing young man who brutalizes Wanderer before falling in love with her.”

The film is scheduled for release on 3/29/13.
