Q: Seagate STSHX-M401TCB(M) SATA interface I'd wish to upgrade my laptop's internal drive, and put the original one in an external enclosure to use it via USB. I could buy an 2.5" HDD and a 2.5" tray separately to accomplish this. However, this would cost more than buying a complete portable HDD and swap the two drives. Also, there are portable 4TB drives, while internal ones arrive to 2TB maximum.
I know that the great majority of portable drives are engineered to function as external disks only, having no SATA interface and the Micro-B USB directly (e.g. WD's My Passport and Elements). I wanted to know if anyone got to open a Maxtor STSHX-M401TCBM or a Samsung STSHX-M401TCB, or already knows for some reason exactly what's inside. Is there a SATA interface, or just the USB one?
Also, what's the difference between the two? Is the HDD inside the same Seagate, and the enclosure is made by Maxtor in one case and Samsung in the other? The enclosures look the same, apart from the brand written on it.

A: I bought a Maxtor M3 4TB drive and made a small teardown of it. The disk inside is Seagate Barracuda
ST4000LM024 and has a normal sata-connector.
TL; DR; Atleast my Maxtor STSHX-M401TCBM has a normal SATA-interface present.

LA Firefighter Being "Investigated" For Literally Wiping His Ass With Vaccine Mandate Letter
Friday, Nov 26, 2021 - 11:59 AM
Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News,
A firefighter in LA has been placed on leave and is under investigation after he literally wiped his ass with a vaccine mandate notification letter.
The Los Angeles Times reports "The LAFD member responded to receiving the non-compliance letter by dropping his pants and wiping his buttocks with the letter."
The report adds that the firefighter left "fecal matter on the document, before dropping it to the ground, according to the Stentorians of Los Angeles City, a group representing African American firefighters."
An L.A. firefighter is under investigation after allegedly wiping his non-compliance vaccine mandate letter between his buttocks at the station https://t.co/zKuGT5H15k
— Los Angeles Times (@latimes) November 25, 2021
LAFD spokeswoman Cheryl Getuiza told the Times that "The department is aware of the seriousness of the allegations and took immediate action upon learning of this incident."
Getuiza said that the first responder "will face the consequences of any inappropriate acts," adding that "no matter how our members react, all city employees must abide by the city ordinance — either file for an exemption, get vaccinated, or face termination."
A spokesman for LA Mayor Eric Garcetti said that the "mayor's expectation is that fire department leadership will handle this matter definitively, and make it clear that these appalling actions will not deter enforcement of rules that we've put in place to save lives."
The Fire Commission president Jimmie Woods-Gray added "I am beyond appalled at such an act by an LAFD firefighter."
The deadline for city workers to "show proof of full compliance" with the vaccine mandate has been pushed back in LA to December 18 from the initial date of October 20. However, those who have not already complied are seeing $65 deducted from their paychecks twice a week, which the city says will cover the cost of COVID-19 testing.
Mayor Garcetti has said "Let me be clear: any employee who refuses to be vaccinated by this date should be prepared to lose their job."
As we have previously noted, there is fierce resistance to the vaccine mandates among first responders.
Police and firefighters in Los Angeles have formed a resistance group against COVID vaccine mandates for state workers in the city, stating that they aim to "maintain human rights, constitutional rights, civil rights, and civil liberties as sovereign natural free human beings, and American citizens."
First responders in Oregon have also brought a lawsuit against the state and the governor for imposing vaccine mandates, while firefighters and police in New York continue to defy the mandates.
Many police officers have made videos of themselves signing off after being forced to resign.
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky previously declared that the Biden regime is planning to provide vaccine hesitant police and other government workers with "education and counseling" to make them "comfortable" about taking the shots.

Regardless of current detractors, there can be little question that baby milk system has saved countless lives through the years. Home cats can get all the vitamins they want from the commercial food you purchase them, plus water. Milk Replacer for Kittens / Liquid Formulation has been precisely formulated to support kittens' optimal development and development. As with soy, cats' digestive systems can't deal with plant proteins.
You may receive mother's milk replacer for younger kittens at most of the pet shops within the space. Babycat milk comprises rigorously selected, extremely digestible proteins and has a lactose content very similar to maternal milk. All kittens ought to receive their mother's milk for at the very least 2 days, if doable.
She's going to quickly get used to it, and it will become a lifelong good habit. Cats have a special dietary requirement for taurine, a deficiency of which may lead to blindness, hair loss, tooth decay and heart failure. It's significantly suited to the kitten's digestive system as a result of it doesn't include starch (kittens don't secrete enough amylase to digest starch).
Goat's milk usually has a higher mineral and vitamin content material than cow's milk, and contains some taurine. Small or weak kittens may should be fed reconstituted method every three to 4 hours whereas bigger and/or older kittens can do effectively being fed every 8 hours.
Rising kittens already on stable food, present cats and/or convalescing cats: Feed 1 teaspoon (2g) KMR powder per 5 lbs. The canine eat extra catfood than he does because I don't wish to throw it away when he refuses to eat it. I am unable to power feed him as a result of then he'll go off his water and act depressed.

Choosing A Cat Breed That is Proper For You!


A special commission in Venezuela has suspended another 73 judges as part of a drive to clean up the notoriously corrupt judicial system.
Officials said 55 judges were suspended for failing to process cases quickly enough or of committing other such errors, while 18 face more serious accusations such as taking bribes.
The latest round of suspensions brings the number of judges removed from their posts to almost 200 out of a total of about 1,200.
Manuel Quijada, the head of a special judicial commission said: "Everybody knows that here rulings have always been sold by rates."
He blamed long delays in trying cases for a recent outbreak of violence in overcrowded jails, which already were considered among the most violent in the world.
Venezuela's special judicial commission is investigating some 4,000 formal allegations of corruption or wrongdoing by the nation's judges.
If subsequent investigations clear the suspended judges they will be allowed to go back to their jobs, like nine of the officials suspended in the last tranche in October.
BBC Latin America correspondent Peter Greste says the entire system is widely regarded as one of the world's most corrupt and inefficient.
More than half of the country's 21,000 prisoners are still awaiting trial and pay-offs to judges are considered common practice.
The attack on corruption in the judiciary is part of President Hugo Chavez's peaceful revolution to wipe away the old political elite, which is blamed for turning the oil-rich state into one of the world's most corrupt and poverty-stricken countries.
The Constitutional Assembly which he brought into existence declared the judicial emergency shortly after it was elected three months ago to draft the country's new body of laws.
The assembly appointed the judicial commission to deal with the emergency, although its critics say it has no right to do so.
Last week the assembly voted to extend the presidential term, allowing Mr Chavez to govern for up to 12 years.


Click here to reserve your seat on the bus to New York City from JMU Memorial Hall, Harrisonburg!
You may remember that back in February of 2013 we filled two buses to travel from Harrisonburg to Washington, D.C. to participate in the Forward on Climate Rally. While the rally was a great success in that tens of thousands of people showed up on that frigid day, little has been done by the leaders of the world's great powers to reverse the trajectory of climate change.
Five weeks from now on Sunday, September 21st, another march, which is being dubbed the "largest climate march in history," takes place in New York City. It is being called the People's Climate March and it will be held prior to the United Nations Climate Summit. President Obama and many other world leaders will be attending the summit. The climate march is intended to send the message: WE MUST ACT NOW!
Would you like to ride a bus to this event? As was the case with the Washington, D.C. rally, we plan to send some buses from Harrisonburg to NYC. How many people can we turn out? Last time we filled two buses. Could we do it again?
While the actual cost and logistics of the trip are still being worked out, we would like to gauge initial interest among those of you in the community who might be interested in participating. I can promise that the weather will not be as cold as it was at the DC rally. We will, once again, look for sponsors who can help subsidize the cost of the trip and make it affordable for families, students, those with low incomes, and any others who might not be able to afford the cost.
The estimated cost of the trip will be $40-50 per person for the round trip (less than that for those with limited income). The trip will most likely be one very full day of travel and protest as the logistics of organizing overnight housing in NYC would likely be prohibitive. To be clear, WE WILL GO AND COME BACK IN ONE DAY!
Once we make the final arrangements for the trip, I will send out another e-mail that details the specifics. Please email me using the contact form below to let me know if you would like further information. Once we have the cost nailed down, you will be able to reserve a seat on the bus by paying in advance. Please feel free to share this post with friends, family, co-workers or others whom you think might be interested. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hope to get good at this, as lots of compelling evidence suggests that plant-based nutrition is one of life's best practices.
This turned out pretty good. That is a big wad of organic kale, carrots, peaches, and an apple. Before everything went down the juicer chute I added a banana and an orange for sweetening.
The Breville 'compact' juicer is pretty awesome – breaks down, cleans up, and re-assembles easily. One issue that may be my inexperience: When hard fruits and veggies hit the turbo, the juicer rocks a little and shakes the jug out of position (see the spillage).
Need help getting this right. My tendency to add lots of sweet fruit needs adjusting: you want to go heavier on the leafy greens. Getting that green juice to taste good is the trick. Will be reading this guide for expert advice.

Moto G Power (2021) Review: Bigger, Cheaper, and Little More
In Mobile Games
Stripped-back software
Solid design
Huge display
Sub-par camera
720p display
Missing NFC
The Moto G series has long offered excellent value for money, adorned recommendation guides for best budget phones, and brought a reliable experience to those who don't want or need a flagship phone. But in recent years, competition has heated up, with phones like the iPhone SE, the Google Pixel 4a, and more, offering flagship-level features for only $100 or so more.
For 2021, Motorola has updated the Moto G series, with the headline phone, the Moto G Power, getting an impressive price tag of only $200, or $250 for the top model. That's $100 less than the Pixel 4a, $150 less than the iPhone SE, and significantly undercuts other phones of a similar quality.
Is the Moto G Power the way to go for phones under $250, or should you keep saving? We put the 2021 Moto G Power to the test to find out.
The 2021 Moto G Power looks and feels like a natural progression from last year's model. It has a similar design on the front, with its hole-punch cutout for the front-facing camera on the top-left of the phone, and a slightly larger 6.6-inch edge-to-edge display with a small chin on the bottom. It looks nice for a sub-$300 phone, especially when you consider the fact that just a few short years ago, edge-to-edge displays commanded a hefty premium.
On the back of the phone, you'll get the camera module, which has been moved to the center in a square camera bump. I don't really mind the fact that the module is centered, and while putting it on the top left might have made it look more in line with more expensive phones, it still looks good where it is. The back is of course plastic. The slimy gloss looks cool, but feels cheaper than it looks — obviously not as premium-feeling as a glass device.
Around the edges of the phone, you'll get a USB-C port on the bottom, and, thankfully, a headphone jack at the top. On the right side, there's a volume rocker and a power button with a fingerprint sensor built into it. The sensor worked really well in my testing. It was fast and accurate, which is very nice to see. You will have to get used to using the power button to get into your phone if you aren't already, but it's a small adjustment.
As mentioned, the display sits in at 6.6 inches, and it has a 720p resolution, which is noticeably lower than last year's 1,080p display. You could debate that it's hard to tell the difference between a 1,080p and a 1,440p display, but the difference between a 720p and a 1,080p display is definitely noticeable, and it's frustrating to see Motorola step back like this. The display does the job, but at a bare minimum.
I do wish Motorola included better water-resistance here. The so-called "water-repellant coating" holds little more weight than a marketing message, and chances are, those buying a $250 phone don't want to have to replace it if it accidentally gets wet. This is a feature that all phones should offer.
Specs and performance
Under the hood, the Moto G Power offers a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor, coupled with either 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage in the base model or 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage for $50 extra. There's also a MicroSD card slot in either case for expanded storage. Weirdly enough, the base model of the phone actually includes lower-power components compared to last year's Moto G Power, which came with a Snapdragon 665 processor and 4GB of RAM — though I suppose that makes sense given the new lower starting price.
Now, the impact is pretty minimal, and actually, the phone performed pretty much the same in benchmarks (the 720p display likely helps there). The Snapdragon 662 and 665 are built on the same architecture and use the same GPU, after all–— the notable shortcomings are a few missing audio components and a lower-end modem. But it's still a little strange to see Motorola take a step back like this; at a minimum, you'd expect the same chipset year over year.
Weirdly enough, there are cutbacks compared to last year's Moto G Power.
In day to day use, the Moto G Power performed decently well, with a few skips and jumps every now and then, as is to be expected for $200. Generally speaking, the device was responsive and fast to react, even during basic mobile gaming and multitasking. Playing a game like Call of Duty: Mobile worked well, and while there was the off dropped frame and stutter on games like Asphalt 9, it still worked well enough for most.
Unfortunately, Motorola still hasn't brought NFC to the Moto G line, so you still can't use features like Google Pay. This was a minor complaint a few years ago … at this point, that's a major omission.
The Moto G Power comes with a massive 5,000mAh battery, and it shows. That's the same as last year, but this is one situation where we don't mind that it's not an upgrade — and you may end up getting an even better battery life thanks to the lower-resolution display.
Most modern flagship phones offer much smaller batteries. The iPhone 12 Pro has around a 2,815mAh battery, while the Pixel 4a has a 3,140mAh battery. And, considering those phones are more demanding, and have higher resolution displays, they last significantly less.
Battery life is one of the biggest reasons to buy a Moto G Power.
I didn't have all that long to test the phone, but based on my initial testing, I'm certain you can get two days of use out of the device, and even into a third day for lighter users. Really, the battery life on this phone is that good and one of the core reasons to buy it.
The Moto G Power supports fast-charging of up to 15W, but unfortunately, there's no wireless charging here.
Like the 2020 Moto G Power, the 2021 model has a triple-lens camera. Motorola has, however, swapped out the ultrawide camera for a depth sensor, and the result is a less versatile experience.
You'll get a 48-megapixel main camera with an f/1.7 aperture, however it has an effective output of 12 megapixels given the quad pixel tech that Motorola (and most other companies) is using. Along with that, there's a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth camera.
Photos from this phone are pretty boring. Colors are muted, and despite the quad-pixel technology, there's a little more noise in photos than I would have liked. Using the macro lens is fun, for five seconds, before you get over the gimmick of it and realize that you'll probably never really use it in day-to-day life. That's a reality of every cheap macro camera, sadly.
Now, it's not all bad. The phone is capable, but not much more. I get it — this is a $200-250 phone. But when you have phones like the Pixel 4a at only $100 more, with a stellar camera, it's hard to not complain.
One of the best things about Motorola phones is the software experience, and that remains true here. The Moto G Power has a stripped-back software experience that should appeal to anyone that wants to cut out the fluff. It's almost stock Android, and as such it's responsive and easy to navigate.
One of the best things about Motorola phones is their software experience.
There are a few tweaks to the system though. The Moto G Power runs what Motorola calls "My UX" software, which includes gestures like the ability to take a screenshot by touching the display with three fingers, silence the phone by picking it up when it's ringing, or twisting the phone to launch the camera. Through the Moto app, you can also easily change wallpapers and the home screen layout, and turn on the Gametime mode, which lets you tweak how notifications and power work while mobile gaming.
It's all relatively helpful, and it's really nice that Motorola has added all of these tweaks and settings in the Moto app, rather than breaking them out into the user interface, and cluttering everything up — something that other manufacturers have done.
Price, availability, and warranty
The new Motorola Moto G Power is available starting at $200, which is impressively inexpensive. That gets you the base model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, or you can bump up to $250 for 4GB and 64GB — which I'd recommend. The base model comes in silver (shown in this review), and the higher model comes in dark grey.
After a brief pre-order period, the phones are available for purchase as of January 14, straight from the Motorola website, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and more. Motorola's distribution is exceptional.
The device comes with a standard 12-month limited warranty, which pretty much only covers manufacturer defects. You'll want to be careful with your device, particularly considering its water resistance.
The Moto G Power isn't going to break any records or blow people away with features. But it offers a solid experience with a huge display and stellar battery life at a low price. It will find a place on our list of the best cheap phones available today. Sure, if you can afford to pay more you should, but if $250 is your budget, this phone is the one to get.
Is there a better alternative?
Yes, if you can pay more. If you can stretch your budget to $350, then the Google Pixel 4a is easily the phone to go for, thanks to its better processor, day-one software updates, and great camera. It doesn't have the size or battery life of the Moto G Power, but those are easy trade-offs.
If you can stretch to $400, it's also worth considering the iPhone SE, but I know that's a bit of a stretch when your initial budget was $250. So, in Android-land, the Pixel 4a is the phone to beat.
Alternatively, there is something to be said for just buying last year's Moto G Power. It's still available, and now discounted to $220. As noted it has effectively the same performance, plus a higher-resolution screen and the same amazing battery life. This could be the 2021 G Power's biggest problem.
The Moto G Power doesn't have real water resistance to lean on, but the plastic body should survive most drops and dints. With care, the phone should last a standard two-year cycle, though at the end of that two years it will probably start seriously slowing down.
Not in this price range. The Moto G Power is far from perfect, but at $250 it's about as close as you're going to get.

← Be Kind To The Janitor! He Might Be Your Boss One Day!
Every Sunday morning, you will find me at West End Farmers Market in Alexandria picking up my fruits, veggies and flowers for the up coming week. There are so many reasons why I love shopping at farmers markets – not only does is support local small businesses, but it reminds me of Vietnam and my travels to Europe, Asia, and Mexico where these types of markets are an everyday event. If you are currently not shopping at farmers' markets, see my top five reasons below why you should.
1. Food is fresh – not like some of the old, moldy, or drab-looking produce you see at the regular grocery stores.
2. The fruits, veggies, and flowers are seasonal, so you get the best of whatever is in season!
3. You are contributing to your community by directly supporting the local farmers and their families in a challenging economy, and as a bonus, you know exactly where your food is coming from!
4. It's a great way to connect with your local community while meeting new people and learning new things. I always discover something new every time.
5. It's good exercise! Walking, talking, and carrying what you buy without the convenience of a shopping cart in the grocery store. So there is some weight lifting there. One time, I bought a water melon that was over 6 pounds to carry back home along with every thing else!
Two of my local favorites are Old Town Alexandria on Saturdays and the most famous, DC's Eastern Market. If you ever see me there, please make sure to come up and say hello.
I hope you like the photos below that I took recently at the Old Town Alexandria market.
I wish we had more farmers markets around where I live, I absolutely adore them! Loving your photos as well- they look so fresh and vibrant!


The Future Perfect tense is also used to express the idea that something will occur before another action in the future and for Future perfect passive voice tense.
It talks about future completed action.
They will have opened a new office.
Alina will have watched a movie.
Australia will have lost the match.
Note: We never make Negative Sentences of Future Perfect tense, because it doesn't give the proper sense.
Here is another way of using Future Perfect Tense with examples.
By the time we (get, arrive, go).
By this time next year, they will have lived here for two years.
By the time we get the station, the train will have gone.
By next July, I will have completed my Masters.
By June next year, they will have completed this bridge.
By next November, She will have received her promotion.
By the time she finishes this course, I will have taken five tests.
They will have been in cinema for four hours.
Students will have been in school for five hours.
Ali will have been with a friend for till night.
Note: We never make Negative sentences because it doesn't give the proper sense.

/R E P E A T -- MEDIA INVITATION - Women gain, visible minorities lose ground in Greater Montreal Area leadership roles/ Français
Diversity Institute at Ryerson University
TORONTO, Dec. 12, 2016 /CNW/ - The Diversity Institute and Concertation Montréal invite media to attend a presentation and discussion of innovative research and leading practices related to diversity.
Research has shown that organizations which are more diverse tend to have better performance, higher levels of employee engagement and be well positioned to compete in global markets. This final instalment of a five-year study, DiversityLeads, has benchmarked and tracked diversity on boards and senior leadership across sectors in Toronto and Montréal. It shows that since 2012 the proportion of women has grown while the proportion of racialized minorities in leadership roles has declined in the Greater Montréal Area. It also highlights the differences between leaders and laggards in terms of effective processes to create diverse and inclusive environments.

Clint Eastwood and Disrespect
By Nelson Hultberg - September 03, 2012
The political left in America is outraged at Clint Eastwood's recent presentation at the GOP convention. The shock and disbelief of Rachel Maddow at MSNBC and the Blitzer gang at CNN is heavy with condemnation of this inimitable American icon.
The establishment media response has basically come down as follows: "Weirdest thing I've ever seen." "What was he thinking?" "Have the Republicans gone daft?" "The Democrats must have sent Clint to the GOP so as to sabotage their convention." "This was inexcusably disrespectful."
Yes, indeed, it was disrespectful. But what kind of humans allow themselves to be enslaved by a Marxist mandarin and his bureaucratic henchmen with a smile on their face and kind words about their enslavers? Craven humans, that's who! Obedient victims who, as Ayn Rand told us, "sanction their enslavement." And unfortunately, that is what the American people have become, obedient sanctioners who are willing to give up their freedom with a smile on their face and kind words for the usurpers in Washington who are so zealously destroying the freedom and sanity of our lives.
Did Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry play nice-nice with King George? Did they remain respectful to the tyrants who were ruining their lives? They most certainly did not. They declared the English tyrant to be a corrupt and criminal despot. They rallied their countrymen to spring up in rebellion. They stood up for their fundamental rights, as all courageous men and women do when faced with despotic bullies. They did what the valiant Chinese student did in Tiananmen Square when he stood in front of those monstrous approaching tanks.
If Jefferson, Adams and Henry were alive today, they would have been cheering Clint on with vigorous enthusiasm. But what do we see from today's mealy-mouth media? We see a rush to defend the tyrant mandarins in Washington and smear the rebel Eastwood. We see squawking and crying and yelps of protest. But what we really see is what lurks in the subconscious of the establishment media – fear that their emperor is as buck naked as Dirty Harry portrayed him. This is why the vacuities at CNN and MSNBC are so outraged. Eastwood pierced deeply. He showed Mr. Obama and the empty suit Biden up for precisely what they are.
This is what disrespect is, and why it is so important when a people are confronting tyrants. Those who obey their masters and play nice-nice with tyrannical regimes live miserable lives as doormats. Those recalcitrant rebels who boldly proclaim their disrespect for the despots of history have a chance to live in freedom. They might still get squashed; the tanks might still roll over them. But they at least know that they stood up for freedom and honor in their time. They know that they did the right thing, the manly thing, not the craven, accommodative thing. When bullies are breaking the cardinal laws of life and exploiting their fellow man (which is what the statists in Washington have been doing for over 80 years now), then there is only one course of action for honorable men – disrespect – courageous, colorful disrespect.
This is what Clint Eastwood did on August 30, 2012 in Tampa. He did the honorable thing – the manly thing. He heaped contempt on the statist mandarins in Washington. He did not lie down and play nice-nice with them. He did not try to compromise with them. He did not pacify them so as to be popular. He excoriated them with his words and his attitude.
In his advice to America's young men, the twentieth century poet E. Merrill Root wrote, "I would ask you again to dream and dare, and thus to ride again the stallion of manhood whose back is known only by those who with a brave heart grasp the mane of life and ride bareback and shouting even in God's thunderstorm."
Reality demands this from man but the collectivists are at war with it. Thus their feminizing of our men today. This is not by accident. The collectivists want a neutered man; it makes their drive for world domination all the easier. What is horrifying is that large numbers of obedient men now welcome this travesty. To be forceful, unflinching and self-reliant in face of life's vicissitudes no longer appeals. Modern psychology tells us that the virile Clark Gable / Clint Eastwood persona is unhealthy for society. Dustin Hoffman is to be preferred. Softness is correct; toughness is detrimental. But this is decadence masquerading as progress.
The crucible of life demands that men strive to fulfill their natures, that they stand heroically in face of adversity, that they defend the female and family with gallantry in face of the subtleties of evil. The real man welcomes this and refuses to apologize for his toughness and masculinity, his stoic steel will. For him egalitarianism and collectivism are living death. Early in life he knows instinctively that he hates the amoeba-like image of man with which Marxian-Freudian collectivism is trying to poison his soul. He loathes what the professors in college teach him. The real man senses early on that, in the words of General MacArthur, "there is a constant conspiracy against the brave" in this world. The herd mentalities of humanity wish to neuter manliness, for it stands in their way of collectivizing the world. Thus it must be purged from our lessons to the young. The real man resolves to fight this. He chooses to be in life what in essence he must be – a warrior for truth, a rock of granite, a seeker, a builder, a hero.
Clint Eastwood has exemplified such traits all his life. The weasels dislike him, and the naked emperors try to smear him with sociobabble. But there is a strain of man out there that knows his kind are the Atlases who hold the world up, that America was exceptional because she unleashed such men to climb as tall as they could dream. What we need so desperately today is for these kind of men to rise up and show massive disrespect toward the despots of Washington. Hoorah for Clint Eastwood.

I respect the right of the Paterno family to hire private lawyers and former government officials* to conduct public media campaigns in an effort to shape the legacy of Joe Paterno.
* In 1989, then-Attorney General Richard Thornburgh selected me from the thousands of federal prosecutors in the Justice Department to lead the investigation into the bombing murders of federal judge Robert Vance in Alabama, and NAACP leader Robbie Robinson in Georgia. Thornburgh then highly praised my investigative abilities, and the cases were successfully prosecuted. Thornburgh personally signed my certificate appointing me as a federal judge.

Chris Buchholz has mastered something I aspire to create myself: the illustrated travel journal. He's had the opportunity to do a good amount of travel, and his experiences spill out brilliantly onto the pages of his sketchbooks, accompanied by written reflection. Chris's sketchbook is his constant companion as he travels through and lives in these different places. The images you see here are his time spent in the Dominican Republic and Italy. The drawings themselves are bright and beautiful, especially when seeing them on such simple a canvas as a sketchbook.
Chris's technique with line and color brings the viewer into the experience: you can feel how hot it is in the DR, and how delicious a super fria cerveza would be at midday. Furthermore, you can taste how fresh the fruit is at the Italian market.
A post from June 12, 2013 showed Chris thinking aloud about drawings that were NOT in his usual observational style, but instead – in his words – "from the right side of the brain." To hear any artist talk about breaking out of their comfortable style is fascinating, and makes me think about my own process: how comfortable I've gotten in one thing, and how important it is to try something different: explorating new styles, mediums, and imagery.
Your travel art is really cool and has so much detail! I like the piece of the bananas on the back of the motorcycle! Lots of south american business owners can not afford a produce truck so they use what they can. Really well thought out and great detail.

San Antonio COVID cases rise 'exponentially' — 412 new cases, four more deaths
Joshua Fechter and Peggy O'Hare June 20, 2020 Updated: June 22, 2020 9:55 a.m.
Social spacing is still enforced in the council chamber as San Antonio City Council gets its first look at next year's budget on Thursday, June 18, 2020. The city faces a massive budget shortfall of $200 million because of the Coronavirus pandemic. Budget officials are looking at deeper cuts in next year's budget.

Mayor Ron Nirenberg and leaders of other Texas cities pleaded with their constituents to wear masks and practice social distancing as a surge in coronavirus cases and deaths raised the specter that hospitals could be overwhelmed.
The number of confirmed cases in Bexar County jumped by 412 on Friday, and officials reported four more deaths. The new cases brought the county's total to 5,962 since the start of the pandemic in March.
Bexar County's death toll now stands at 96. The latest victims were three Hispanic women — one in her 60s, one in her 80s and one in her 90s — and an Anglo woman in her 70s.
Some 322 COVID-19 patients were being treated in San Antonio-area hospitals Friday. That was 55 more than Thursday. At the beginning of June, fewer than 100 people were hospitalized with the virus.
Of those currently in hospitals, 101 were in intensive care, up from 82 on Tuesday and 39 on June 1.
Fifty patients were on ventilators, compared with 20 at the beginning of the month.

"The numbers continue to rise exponentially," Nirenberg said during a televised briefing with Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff. "At no other time during this public health crisis have we seen such numbers grow daily. And it continues to be deadly."
The new statistics were reported just before Father's Day weekend, when families normally would be expected to throw parties and cookouts. Officials strenuously warned against doing so.
"The best gift you can give Dad this weekend is to continue and work on ensuring that we all have continued good health, including Dad," Nirenberg said.
Nirenberg joined the mayors of five other Texas cities, including Sylvester Turner of Houston and Steve Adler of Austin, in a public letter beseeching their constituents to wear masks and practice social distancing.
"The virus is here. Infections are rising. Hospital capacity is filling up," the mayors said in the two-page letter, which Nirenberg posted to his Twitter feed Friday.
"If we want the economy to open fully and stay open, if we want to send our kids back to school from Pre-K to college, if we want to watch and play sports with people in the stands, if we want to attend cultural arts events like concerts and theater, if we want banquets and parades in the fall, if we want our lives back as Texans, we need to take this seriously," they wrote.
"Very seriously."
Officials at UT Health San Antonio said their computer models suggest the number of COVID-19 patients in the region's hospitals could nearly double within two weeks and grow tenfold by August.
The models generate projections based on growth in cases, deaths and the results of testing for the virus, among other variables.
The worrisome forecasts prompted UT Health to launch a public education campaign called "We Can Stop the Spread."
The initiative urges residents to redouble efforts to wash hands meticulously, wear masks in public, avoid touching one's face, eyes or nose, and steer clear of crowded places — especially indoor environments.
If the number of COVID-19 patients continues to rise, hospitals may voluntarily cut back on elective procedures to keep beds available, said Assistant City Manager Colleen Bridger, who oversees the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District.
Bridger raised the possibility that if necessary, a field hospital could be built to accommodate a surge of patients.
The number of coronavirus cases has climbed sharply in recent weeks as businesses have reopened and testing has become more widely available.
Early in the pandemic, it took more than a month for Bexar County to break 1,000 cases. Recently, it took only five days — from June 12 to Wednesday — to add that many.
Public health officials expected a jump in cases after Memorial Day weekend, when many businesses began to reopen and many Texans attended social gatherings with family and friends. But the scale of the increase took officials by surprise.
"I don't think any of us fully understood the extent to which this spike would be as serious as it is," Bridger said.
Among those newly infected, many were at bars, gyms and car dealerships before they were diagnosed, Nirenberg said.
Bridger, referring to bars, said: "It's just irresponsible when people go in there and act like COVID-19 does not exist."
Those contracting the virus are getting younger. People under age 40 now account for more than 45 percent of the county's cases, Metro Health data show.
Trying to stem the surge, Wolff and Nirenberg handed down new orders this week mandating that businesses require employees and visitors to wear face coverings or masks in public places where it is difficult to stay 6 feet away from others.
For weeks, Gov. Greg Abbott had resisted calls to enact a statewide requirement that residents wear masks in public. The move by Wolff and Nirenberg short-circuited that opposition by imposing a mask requirement on businesses rather than directly on individuals.
Businesses have until Monday to draft "health and safety" policies consistent with the mask mandate — or risk fines of up to $1,000.
"If people do that, we don't have to take any other measures," Nirenberg said. "If people did it voluntarily, we wouldn't have to enforce. But that's not happening."
On Friday, 3,454 new cases were reported across Texas, bringing the total to 103,305. Statewide, 12,721 people have been diagnosed with the virus in the past four days alone.
Texas' death toll stands at 2,140, including 35 deaths reported Friday.
A total of 3,148 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were being cared for in Texas hospitals Friday. That's an increase of 201 from the day before.

Tamaya White is no ordinary witch. As a child she absorbed so much power, it had to be locked down tight. After surviving a massacre that stole her entire family, Tamaya is consumed by the need for revenge. With the magic of her ancestors flowing through her veins, and a supernatural weapon named Del, she has enough fire in her belly to annihilate any demon who crosses her path.
She doesn't have time for romance, what with raising earth spirits, and preparing to join a god's dream team. So, it's just her luck she finds her mate.
Kristen Baracas has survived a great many things in her life. The death of her parents, being turned into a slave by the clan who took their lives, dealing with her brother's blood addiction problems, and surviving the induction programme for the Real Defence Network. Now she simply rolls with the punches.
As a vampire, it's her duty to protect the human race. She has access to a superior blood bank, that being her feeding buddy and partner in crime Carlisle. Even better, she gets paid to rid the mortal realm of demon scum. Life is a party, and she serves up the heads of her enemies.
So what if there's a war going on? She can deal with anything. Well, except for crossing paths with a battle angel.
Joshua is a member of the Battalion; a warrior sent to the mortal realm to serve and protect. He didn't expect to fall for a vampire with a chip on her shoulder, one who sets his blood on fire, even when she doesn't have her fangs buried in his throat.

James Pearson is a man who lives by his emotions – he has no choice since he feels everyone else's. Born with the gift of detecting and interpreting the unique energies of those around him, he must come to terms with these abilities if he has any hope of conquering them.
Discovering his friend is in trouble sets off a chain-reaction. It begins with a series of nightmares; dreams in which he is saved by a woman he longs for even in his waking hours.
With the support of his friends, he faces the kind of darkness he once shied away from and which he must now conquer if he has any hope of surviving.
James Pearson is a man with a secret, a secret he buried so deep he hoped it would never see the light of day. Until a series of events forces his hand and he learns that nobody can hide forever.
The catalyst for change comes in the form of an interpreter who is recovering from a personal tragedy. Laura Kane is about to discover that nothing in her life is what it seems. She is at a crossroads, and she must choose wisely. Otherwise, she could lose the one thing she treasures the most, her relationship with lifelong friend, Nicholas Carey.
Tyler Davies was eighteen when he met the fiery beast he would later battle on a regular basis. Seduced by the beauty of her flaming touch, he had looked right into the heart of the fire and known she had claimed him.
It was the second time he'd seen his future. The first was the day he met Lilly-May Saunders, a girl who burned so bright he was blind to anyone else. If it hadn't been for her friendship with his brother, a relationship he didn't truly understand, he would have confessed his feelings. But when his friend dies in the line of duty, and Tyler discovers the truth behind the accident, everything changes. Those he loves are in danger, and the one who owns his heart is at the top of the list.
Sometimes the hardest thing about lowering our defences is the fear of how far we might fall. That fear had been Adrienne Baxter's driving force most of her life. It was far easier to hide behind her radio personality, feeding from her audience, than to risk exposure. She had James, her brother by choice if not by blood. It was enough – most of the time.
As the co-host of the early morning breakfast show at Music 101, Adrienne is the confident, sassy presenter with the silver tongue and fast-talking wit. When she meets Sebastian Davies, the station owner's son, her carefully applied façade begins to slip. He presents a new kind of danger, because this time she could lose her heart.


Gartner defines selective sourcing when an internal IT organization decouples or carves up the scope of business or IT processes for purposes of individually or selectively sourcing each component separately and distinctly. The main business driver is to determine the best risk-reward combination for each individual scope of work. Most often, this is done to allow for extensive competition to achieve the highest-quality performance at the best price point. The overall role of overseeing (program management) and managing the delivery, risk and overall legal compliance across the entire scope of services across all the individual components lies with the internal IT organization.
