Catherine of Alexandria (4th cent.) martyr
Today the Orthodox churches commemorate Catherine of Alexandria, a martyr and witness to God's wisdom. The Catholic church discontinued its liturgical commemoration of the saint when it last revised its calendar in 1969, and the Anglican church has retained a simplified form of Catherine's memorial.
Catherine's story is one of the clearest examples of how a saint's life can strongly touch entire generations of Christians when hagiographers, using their faith and imagination, manage to write an account that conveys a powerful message despite an almost total lack of historical information.
According to tradition, Catherine was a young woman from a noble family of Alexandria who was tried by the Roman emperor Maximinus Daius because she was a Christian. When she refused to deny her faith, the emperor told her that she could save her life by marrying him, but Catherine refused. During her trial, her wisdom so impressed her prosecutors that most of them converted to Christianity, including the emperor's wife.
The traditional story goes on to say that after Catherine's martyrdom, which she faced together with those she had led to the faith, her body was carried to Mount Sinai by an angel. Her mortal remains are still kept there today, in the monastery that was built on the site and dedicated to her. This legend arose in the Middle Ages, probably as an attempt to explain how the saint's relics came to be transferred from Alexandria to Mount Sinai. It is not known in what era the relics were transferred.
There are many literary versions of Catherine's story. In the West, the best known are her Latin Passio and theLife Jacob of Varazze included in his Golden Legend. In the Middle Ages, the missionary work of the mendicant Orders ensured that Catherine was venerated throughout the Christian world.

When it comes to issues surrounding learning & development and leadership, we see a vast array of news stories, reports and research pieces published every week containing statistics, theories and advice aimed at leaders. That's why we've decided to pick out some of the most interesting news stories and articles from the week which have caused much discussion and debate in the Lightbulb Leadership Solutions office.
We always look forward to the Women in Business Q&A as it provides an insight into what it took for these women to excel in their field. This week sees Boyden World Corporation president, CEO and member of the board of directors Trina Gordon discuss her childhood enterprising spirit, the lessons she's learned along the way and the all-important issue of maintaining a healthy work/life balance. Gordon also has some strong views on women in business, quoting the Fortune statistics that as of July this year, women held only four per cent of CEO positions across Fortune 500 companies and states why this needs to change.
This article published in the Harvard Business Review and penned by the influential Deborah Rowland makes some insightful observations on how to effectively develop leaders. Co-author of Sustaining Change: Leadership That Works (Wiley, 2008) and possessing 25 years' experience in the change leadership field, Rowland has researched the topic of leadership development extensively to find that the qualities today's leaders need include intuition, dynamism, the ability to collaborate and a firm grounding in here-and-now emotional intelligence. The essay details Rowland's four factors that lie at the heart of good, practical leadership development, which include making it experiential, influencing participants' "being" rather than just their "doing", placing it into its wider, systemic context and enrolling faculty who act less as experts and more as guides. It makes for stimulating reading and highlights the importance of implementing the right kind of leadership development programme in your business.
It's assumed that offering employees financial incentives for achieving targets is the ideal way to ensure these targets are met and that staff remain focused at all times. However, this thought-provoking article suggests performance incentives can inadvertently encourage unambitious targets. We agree with Dryburgh in that the answer to incentivise staff does not lie in the form of targets and bonuses, but in effective leadership strategies.
Sometimes it's the comments section of an article that can prove to be the most insightful. This piece detailing examples of women CEOs succeeding when the odds were stacked against them provided a thoroughly entertaining read, with examples of bad bosses and challenging roles from the likes of Anne Mulcahy of Xerox fame and Mary Barra who was selected as General Motors Co.'s first female CEO. The article, used to highlight the release of the book Earning It: Hard Won Lessons from Trailblazing Women at the Top of the Business World by Wall Street Journal's Joann S. Lublin generated much discussion and debate in the readers' comments section. There's nothing like the topic of women in business and the cover of anonymity to really bring out people's true thoughts and feelings on the matter. The issue that's caused people to head to the comments section is the insinuation that women have a harder ladder to climb to the top compared to men. Do you think this is true? We'd love to get your thoughts on this topic for an upcoming post.
If you spot any interesting news, reports or features covering the latest in leadership development or have an opinion on the stories we've discussed in this post, we'd love to hear from you.

The Vocational Learning Centre was the main element of our Centenary Appeal. This was introduced to provide the kind of work based training that is relevant for today's job market, but in a fully supportive environment with the further social and emotional skills that are a key element of our provision.
Funds have been raised through our Centenary Appeal to build a specially designed Vocational Learning Centre at our school in Smeeth, near Ashford. There is a second site, nearer Ashford that provides Motor Vehicle Maintenance training.
Along with the vocational elements these courses have to offer, our experience of working with young people who have learning difficulties means that we are also well equipped to provide support for functional literacy and numeracy.
We can offer placements to non-residential students but with small groups and a high ratio of staff to students, places are limited.

Before Jesus went to the cross he prayed for unity. Let that settle in your heart. One of the last things on Jesus' mind before he faced death was for people to have unity.
Are you as concerned about unity as Jesus was?
Unity doesn't come naturally, as Jesus' prayer indicated, it is a spiritual battle. You have to fight for unity and the battle can be grim, but the victory is priceless. The reward is peace.
Because fighting for unity is a spiritual battle the weapons used are unconventional. They don't make sense in this world. Onlookers won't understand. The weapons that we use are weapons of the Kingdom. In truth, many will try to disarm you with good intentions. They will appeal to pragmatism and merit. They will press you to take up the weapons of this world that sound thoughtful and sensible. Because of this is it is vital to hold on to faith, knowing that God is at work behind the scenes. God never sleeps, he is always at work. Recognize that when you choose to use a weapon of the Kingdom it will always land a devastating blow.
This list boring. Most people, even those who don't claim to know Jesus as their Savior, will nod in agreement. Who will challenge the thought of forgiving others and asking for forgiveness? Who would dare argue about the need to serve others. Even those who do not believe in God recognize that serving others is a healthy trait and is valued in societies across the globe. No, this list is boring.
On the other hand, these weapons of the Kingdom ignite when they collide with the systems of the world. When you are hoping for a promotion at work the world scoffs at they idea of letting others go ahead. When the world positions itself in the political arena it is foolish to admit you were wrong. When the mob cries out against the villains of the world it is reckless to love them they way that Christ loved you when you were an enemy of the cross.
Yes, this particular list is agreeable and boring. Nevertheless, it contains weapons of the Kingdom and when you begin to apply these principles and not just read them, be prepared. The world will fight back.
Are you willing to fight for unity?
Thanks, Mike, for this actionable reminder of where we put our trust.

Big-spending Federal Budget set to spur on the recovery
The 2021 Federal Budget harks back to the immediate post GFC budgets in some ways, with the Treasurer resisting any temptation to start early on the task of budget repair and doubling down on stimulus. The government has announced $96 billion of extra spending over the next four years, but the run of deficits will still be lower than was predicted last October, making this a bit of a "have your cake and eat it too" budget. Enabling this largesse is an anticipated $104 billion revenue windfall, thanks largely to a stronger than expected economic rebound and strength in commodity exports over the past year.
That said, projected deficits over the forward estimates haven't changed much, meaning that the government has allocated away most of the improved revenue position for coming years (although they're operating under pretty conservative assumptions, particularly in relation to iron ore prices). It is very clear that at least in the short term, the emphasis will be gradual budget repair through growth rather than austerity. We're all Keynesians now, although it hasn't been lost on many observers that some of those cheering on this budget were arguing for fiscal restraint in the years after the GFC.
Within this framework, the budget has a number of immediate objectives: to provide continued support for the recovery on the road to full employment, higher wages and improved living standards; to boost participation and productivity and help the economy grow faster; and to address specific challenges in areas such as aged care, and women's economic security. There were also significant announcements in infrastructure – including $2 billion in funding for ambitious tunnelling projects under the Blue Mountains – more help for home buyers and an extension of the instant asset write-off for businesses. There are lots of winners from a budget like this, sending a strong signal about the possibility of an election within the next year if the vaccine rollout improves and the government manages to avoid further scandals. On the losing side are future taxpayers and recipients of Australian foreign aid, which was cut for this year and across the forward estimates.
What the budget says about the economy
Federal Budgets are always an interesting look at the state of the economy from Treasury's perspective. This year, they've upgraded their growth forecasts, indicating that economic activity is returning to a "new normal" faster than predicted. This certainly matches the lived experience around the streets of our cities, and most sectors outside of tourism and education are probably approaching business as usual. Borders remain closed, but from a purely economic perspective this isn't as much of an impediment as one might think, given that before the pandemic Australia was a net importer of tourism i.e. our tourists spent more overseas than international tourists spent here.
We think the government's growth forecasts are a little conservative, and there would seem to be more room for a surprise here on the upside than the downside. The same could probably be said for their unemployment forecasts which now have us heading for 4.5% unemployment by 2023-24, which is an improvement of more than 1% on expectations of late last year.
The outlook from here
Barring another outbreak we appear to be through the riskiest period of the recovery, which spanned the winding back of the large direct fiscal stimulus programs that occurred in stages at the end of September and December 2020, and at the end of March 2021; and the transition to private investment and more indirect forms of stimulus. Although spending promises to be much lower going forward than through this financial year, there is still a step change in the ratio of expenditure to income compared to pre-COVID levels, and given that the government has signalled that they won't take tax as a proportion of GDP beyond 23.9% some of the future work to balance the budget will likely come in the form of spending cuts.
There's not much of a hurry on this front – Australia is still well placed in terms of public debt in relation to our international peers The interest rate on debt looks likely to remain lower than forecast nominal GDP growth, meaning that current debt levels are eminently sustainable, and the government has made the right call in not contemplating the kind of austerity programs that followed the GFC across a number of developed economies. The only real risks are the prospect of interest rates and bond yields rising dramatically, but for the moment that's still a way off.
What are the takeaways for markets?
The amount of stimulus in this budget is likely to contribute to some extent to pressure on the RBA to raise rates earlier than anticipated, but that's still not likely before 2023, and even after a rate hike or two we're still likely to remain in what will historically be a very low-rate environment.
From that perspective, there aren't a lot of implications for long-term bond markets, which aren't offering much in the way of returns at the moment anyway. Equities might be a different story, given share market affinity for stimulus, but the budget probably serves to reinforce current dynamics, rather than changing the narrative, and given the strong run we've had there is a risk of a correction in the coming months albeit against the backdrop of a still rising trend.
Residential property was a key focus for the budget, with measures to lower barriers to entry for new homeowners. In the absence of supply-side reform past experience shows that these initiatives can simply inflate prices further, but it was encouraging to see the extension of the downsizer scheme as part of this package.
Finally, the stimulus is likely to help drive the Australian dollar higher over time, but probably pales in comparison to the influence that high commodity prices and a falling US dollar are having on our currency at this point in time.

It's a drinking flask, and an ice pack! This 6 oz / 170 ml stainless steel flask slides easily into a jacket or pants pocket - or a lunch bag. It's curved to fit the hip and is so narrow that it takes up very little space.
This classic flask has a smooth matte finish. The front lower right hand corner has a rectangle suitable for engraving. The top and bottom are rimless with a hinged cap.
To use it as an ice pack we recommend you fill it to about 3/4 of its height with plain drinkable water, leave the cap open, and freeze it overnight (water expands by about 10% when frozen). You may also fill it up with a drinkable liquid of your choice, but water makes it easier to clean.
Read this blogpostfor the full story on using it as an ice pack.

Mogadishu (HAN) May 10, 2014 -The Somalia president Hassan Sheikh had In a meeting with a European & international donors Ambassadors at Halane Compound in Mogadishu. The delegations updated and exchanged views about the the New Deal Compact, Somali vision of 2016 and the Peace and State building Goals for Somalia.
The first High Level Partnership Forum (HLPF) executive meeting attended by more than 15 Ambassadors and international agency representatives, the Forum reviewed progress of the Federal Government of Somalia and the associated support of the international community in achieving activities outlined in the New Deal Compact, Vision 2016 and the Peace and State building Goals.
The HLPF oversees the implementation of the Somali Compact, which is the overarching platform to address Somalia's peace- and state-building priorities between 2013 and 2016. The UN and international partners have committed to align their support in Somalia to the Somali Compact's priorities in the areas of inclusive political dialogue; security; justice; economic foundations and revenue & services.
Speaking to the group, H.E. The President provided evidence that the Federal Government has delivered a wide range of agreed goals. Achievements presented include liberating three million people in 9 towns in 6 regions from the scourge of Al Shabaab. Development assistance support structures such as the Aid Coordination Unit and the Somali Development and Reconstruction facility have been established, to ensure that aid promised to Somalia is coordinated, delivered and monitored. To ensure transparency and better fiscal management, the Central Bank has been revitalised through the appointment of a new Governor, Deputy Governor and Board of Directors, and the Financial Governance Committee, which delivers financial oversight has been set up. Infrastructure progress includes 35 km of rehabilitated roads in Mogadishu, and flagship projects such as building District Headquarters, courts, police stations, hospitals and water wells have been started in Jowhar and Merca. The United Nations Multi-donor Trust Fund is operational with money beginning to flow to the Treasury, thus supporting the functioning of the Central Bank. Working groups for the five Peace and State building goals have been established and are in the process of identifying practical programs that will be delivered on the ground throughout Somalia. The plan to take Vision 2016 to the regions for consultation and discussion will be finished and consultation meetings will begin very soon.
The President said, "Somalia is meeting the targets for the New Deal. It was a pleasure to discuss our plans today with our friends in the international community and together reflect on what has been achieved all ready. All good things require planning and hard work to make them reality. We have spent many months finalising plans and strategies that are necessary to ensure that when we begin to deliver programs throughout Somalia that they are the right ones which will make the most difference.
"Sometimes progress is difficult to see- especially in the beginning- but we are looking forward to getting these programs 'out in the sun' where people can see that this government is working hard on their behalf.
"For example, we have been discussing setting up interim administrations for a long time. The reality is that the planning stage of anything is never very visible, but tomorrow, we begin training a group of 165 Caretaker Administrators so that they are equipped to begin the task of interim District Administration. These people will be living and working in communities; their work and their results will be visible," the President said.
Speaking at the Forum, Special Representative of the UN Secretary General, Mr Nicholas Kay, said, "Today, the international community and HE The President have reconfirmed their mutual commitment to moving forward quickly, together. There are many things to do and the risk is too great to be distracted now.
"We agreed that we were not satisfied with the progress that had been achieved. We need to go further and faster. We agreed a set of important actions needed to be done in the coming six weeks by the Federal Government and international partners," he added.
Concluding the Forum, HE The President confirmed the Government's commitment to immediate action, "Today, we took stock of where we are and committed to six areas that require speedy resolution. These areas include: finalising the Vision 2016 consultation plan and beginning consultations; the establishment of the Federalism Commission, National Election Commission and Independent Constitutional Review Commission; forming interim district administrations and setting up Peace and Security committees in these areas; security of supply routes for providing food and other goods to restored areas; activating an adequate humanitarian response; delivering $3million for peace-building activities; and establishing the Independent Advisory Panel as part of the Financial Governance Strengthening Program to provide expert advice on major concessions and contracts of high value and high risk.

Vice president Chen lauds nation's space program
By Su Yung-yao and Jonathan Chin / Staff reporter, with staff writer
From left, National Space Organization Director-General Lin Chun-liang, Minister of Science and Technology Chen Liang-gee, Vice President Chen Chien-jen, National Applied Research Laboratories President Wang Yeong-her and Presidential Office official David Lee attend the opening of an exhibition on the Formosat series of satellites at the Presidential Office Building in Taipei yesterday.
Vice President Chen Chien-jen (陳建仁) yesterday lauded the success of the nation's space program, affirming the government's commitment to the development of a sustainable aerospace industry.
Chen made the remarks at the opening of a special exhibition hosted by the Presidential Office on the Formosat series of satellites.
Formosat-5, the first satellite designed and manufactured in Taiwan, became operational on Sept. 25 and marked a new milestone in the history of the Taiwanese space program, which began in 1991, he said.
The satellite is a sentinel of Taiwan and the world, he said.
Imaging resolution problems that occurred briefly after the satellite's launch in August last year were resolved by the National Space Organization and the craft — as intended — is engaged in resource-exploration work, geological surveys, and disaster prevention and response missions, he said.
Formosat-1, launched in 1999 and decommissioned in 2004, was Taiwan's first satellite and demonstrated the nation's vision for aerospace technology and technical ability as one of the few states capable of independently developing a complete satellite system, he said.
Formosat-2 was launched in 2004 and was decommissioned after 12 years, he said.
Formosat-3 was a collection of six micro meteorological satellites that were developed by a Taiwan-US program and which are internationally renowned as the most accurate thermometer in space, he said.
Formosat-7 is to focus on surveying low-latitude regions for meteorological data and to supplement Formosat-3 by deploying more advanced equipment, which will provide more accurate and timely weather predictions, he said.
The exhibition at the Presidential Office Building features scale models of the satellites, audio and video displays, and interactive games to introduce each of the nation's satellites and their mission.
The event is designed with young people in mind and Chen hopes it would help foster the nation's next generation of scientists and engineers to work in space exploration.

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) conducts a lottery each year through which buyers get an opportunity to purchase low cost homes as per their income category. This article is a heads-up to inform buyers that, as per the press release issued by MHADA, the applications for the lottery will be opened next month, likely at July-end, and the lottery will be conducted in August.
This year, the MHADA project had to be first registered with Real Estate Regulation Act (RERA) due to the Government making it mandatory for all projects to have transparency. Hence all builders have to compulsorily register their projects with details online only. MHADA has completed this registration process and is in the process of finalizing the prices of the flats on the basis of the carpet area.
Though the price of the MHADA houses has risen over the years, they are still attractive to buyers who cannot afford the high costs of homes offered by private builders. What's more, the advantage of buying a MHADA home is that there is guarantee of getting a clear Occupancy Certificate (OC). You are also ensured of power and water connections.
An individual who is minimum 18 years of age, is a domiciled resident of the State of Maharashtra for last 15 years at least and his/her family does not own a home under MHADA jurisdiction can submit an application for the lottery.
While some of the homes up for sale are for the Middle Income Group (MIG) buyers and Low Income Group (LIG) buyers, MHADA has stated that a majority of the homes will be for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) category. That is, those whose family income is less than Rs.25,000/- per month will have a great opportunity to buy a home.
Bookmark this page to get complete information about the carpet area, price and EMI to be paid as well as the detailed application process, all of which will be updated as soon as MHADA releases the official notification for the lottery scheme.

Christy Cabrera Staff WriterSOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
It was hard to fathom what her coach was saying.
For LaShaunda Slade, a freshman and one of the youngest members of the Class 5A 2000 state champion South Broward Bulldogs, the celebration had barely ended before her coach was telling her she had the potential to be part of something even more special than that single title.
Abby Ward also delivered the same message to her two other freshmen--Lamese James and Keunta Miles.
"Ever since their freshman year, I told them from day one that if they continued to work hard, they could be the first group from South Broward to go to four state championships," Ward said. "They've known since then they had the ability to do it, but they had to work hard and really focus to do it."
Said Slade, "I knew it was a possibility we could get there again because we've played together so long, but it was never a real thought. It seemed far away."
Today, that trio -- Slade, James and Miles -- are seniors and will be in Lakeland for their fourth consecutive trip to the state semifinals.
In today's game, they will take on the state's No. 3-ranked team, Clearwater (29-4), a team the Bulldogs know well.
South Broward defeated the Tornadoes 76-51 in last year's final to win its third consecutive title.
Despite that, South Broward (28-3) spent much of this season ranked below the Tornadoes until a lopsided mid-season win over Clearwater at the Martin Luther King Tournament in late January.
The rankings were never a surprise to Slade and her teammates.
After losing three starters, including Tamara James, now a freshman at the University of Miami, many people wondered whether South Broward was on dangerous ground.
"People didn't think we could win because Tamara left and all that did was motivate us," Slade said. "People said you can't win without that one player, well, really, you can't win without five people on the floor and we have that.
"We came together as a team and put it in our heads that we were going to win."
Slade, James and Miles also have come to look at this season as their year.
They know they were parts of each of the Bulldog teams that have won in the past three years, but this season they have the chance to make history.
Ward and her trio of four-year players could become the first Broward County basketball team to win four consecutive championships. Across town, Dillard's boys are bidding for their chance at four straight titles, but the South Broward girls' opportunity comes a week earlier.
"It feels great to know we can be the first girls to do it and it's exciting to see the Dillard boys doing it too," Slade said. "They're representing their school and representing Broward just like we are.
"It's so exciting."
For Ward, a veteran of four state championship games, this group of players has become a second family.
They stop in her office to chat on their lunch hours.
Practices are filled with not only intense workouts and drills, but laughter and zany half-court shots.
Like Slade, James and Miles, the Bulldogs other seniors' all have championship experience.
Julia Noga and Tonya Holmes are making their third trip to Lakeland.
For LaQuetta Ferguson, who transferred from Miami Northwestern two years ago, this trip is her second.
"I put a challenge on my seniors that this is the first championship they can call their own because all the weight is on their shoulders," Ward said. "They've all received rings in previous years, but I always put it on the seniors because they're the ones that have reached the maturity level where I can do that."
As well as having talent that has already secured Division I scholarships for Slade, James, Miles and Ferguson, one of the Bulldogs' greatest advantages could be simply experience.
While all admit the court, the fans and the media attention on their first trip to the championship awed them, the Lakeland Center has become a welcoming court for the Bulldogs.
It is a place where they have never lost and where they expect to keep their winning tradition alive.
"It's kind of like going on a field trip every year," said James with a grin. "We're just going on a field trip to play in Lakeland.
"On that first trip, I had no idea what to expect. I was just so excited to play these talented girls.
"But now that we're going again, as far as I'm concerned, that court is a second home."

The Car Drives You — Part I — You Own Nothing
Posted in Apple, Free/Libre Software, Microsoft at 8:06 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Steered by the car, which does not accept instructions from its driver and owner
Summary: With all the media hype about things getting "smart" (and various buzzwords to accompany this hype so as to sell useless gimmicks and gadgets that spy/manipulate) it's important to understand what gradually happens to automobiles that are nowadays being sold
THE question may seem pointless and banal. Who truly owns today's cars? It's a perfectly legitimate question? Who drives it? Who can bypass or override the driver? Again, nowadays the question isn't so simple to answer.
We already published (this past evening) a timely new video about cars becoming increasingly hostile towards their owner/driver, assuming that the owner is the person who paid for it (not the manufacturer) and driving is about more the pressing down a pedal. When we wrote about privacy issues and safety issues we pointed out that today's mechanical/physical pedals are connected to a computer, not the engine/throttling parts.
"…today's mechanical/physical pedals are connected to a computer, not the engine/throttling parts."Where is this going? Where do governments steer us? Why is media debate so scarce?
In last night's Daily Links we included this new link, cautioning about creeping oppression. To quote:
When a government decides to take a look at your particular field of experimentation, it's never necessarily a cause for rejoicing, as British motor vehicle enthusiasts are finding out through a UK Government consultation. Titled "Future of transport regulatory review: modernising vehicle standards", the document explains that it is part of the process of re-adopting under UK law areas which have previously been governed by the European Union. Of particular interest is the section "Tackling tampering", which promises a new set of offences for "tampering with a system, part or component of a vehicle intended or adapted to be used on a road".
They go into detail as to the nature of the offences, which seem to relate to the production of devices designed to negate the safety or environmental features of the car. They're at pains to say that they have no wish to target the legitimate car modification world, for example in motorsport or restoration, but it's easy to see how a car hacker might inadvertently fall foul of any new rules. It's worried the enthusiasts enough that a petition has been launched on the UK parliamentary petition site, making the point that the existing yearly MOT roadworthiness test should fulfill the function of taking any illegal vehicles off the road.
It's probably too late to weigh in; this official page says: "The consultation period began on 28 September 2021 and will run until 11:45pm on 22 November 2021. Ensure that your response reaches us before the closing date."
There's also this EU page for those outside the UK.
"With all those cars nowadays, at least the newly-sold ones, there's not just a computer onboard but several computers and they not only contain software; it's no longer immutable, it's network-connected, and sometimes remote updates modify the behaviour of the car."This runs parallel to the war on general-purpose computing, including software. This whole subject is closely connected to software freedom.
"Well, Apple and Microsoft are chumming the waters with Right to Repair," an associate told us yesterday.
"They're focusing on hardware only, which is an improvement," Ryan noted. "But without knowing how the software works or how to replace their operating system, you still don't control the device. They want to be in control of when the last software update goes out."
Our associate said that "Apple, Microsoft, and the others are trying to saturate the news on that topic, diffuse and unfocus the work, and confuse the public and, especially, the politicians. This has to be slammed through as legislation or else Apple will continue on the path it has been going down since Steve Jobs got sick, and where most other vendors are deciding to follow. Nothing other than a legal smackdon will suffice, the PR efforts to the contrary are no more than PR efforts to stall and weaken the effort. and take away the existing rights. There has always been the right to repair stuff one owns. However, Apple and the others are trying to spin that into not applying to computers. Apple is even looking like it is aiming to ban general-purpose computing. Notice that the trade press and other lapdogs are now grovelling about "sideloading" and insinuating how it is bad, rather than pointing out that the real name is "installation" and it is a normal activity on device and tools one own and controls. Microsoft, Apple, and the car and farm equipment companies see that it could go either way. Right now the US is leaning towards keeping the rights that are in place, but with enough lobbyist money the vendors could tip it the other way. Here is an FTC position statement on the topic [1, 2]." [PDF]
"Microsoft is trying to retcon "installing software on Windows" as sideloading if you don't get one of the five apps that's not fake from their store," Ryan said. The associate responded: "A key aspect is that Microsoft cultists have trained the public and the politicians to be completely docile when "computers" are mentioned and to roll over when "software" is mentioned. In the latter, they have help from the copyright cartel."
With all those cars nowadays, at least the newly-sold ones, there's not just a computer onboard but several computers and they not only contain software; it's no longer immutable, it's network-connected, and sometimes remote updates modify the behaviour of the car. Unlike some phone or PC, cars put you in life-threatening situations, so it certainly does matter.
"We've been hearing similar stories lately; smart people reject the "new" and "smart" cars.""I wish they'd just go back to what cars in the 1980s came with," Ryan said. "If you can find a 1985 Honda or GMC pickup or anything really and the body is in good shape… You'd be financially better off to wheel it down to a good mechanic and dump $10,000 or more into having him fix everything that needs attention than you would buying a new car. And you can find some cars that old that never rusted, that look like they came straight out of the 80s. If they were in California or Nevada or even Florida. Obviously, for safety you should take it down and have it inspected and repaired as needed. Expect to replace all of the brake lines, belts, and rubber hoses. They dry rot. But once you get out ahead of that, the car might be perfectly usable for many years."
We've been hearing similar stories lately; smart people reject the "new" and "smart" cars. "I hope to get at least a few more years out of the Impala," Ryan said, "but I won't be replacing it with anything very new. I'll probably go looking for about a 2010 Crown Victoria or something that was fleet owned. They just don't break down nearly as often as newer cars do. They were pretty much designed in the 70s-90s and then tweaked along the way. Ford never invested anything in a total redesign after that. The mentality, right, was different then. Back then, people were smarter and they knew, hey, this is a major purchase and it should last a while. Now it's "If my brand new $50,000 Toyota can't ping a web server to verify I paid my $8 a month remote starter fee, they start disabling my shit!". "Wow, so amazing! $850 a month car payments for 7 years, you say? Oh boy!". "Plus the $8 a month for the remote starter of course!" Like, when did Toyota get so greedy that they have to tack on $8 a month to an $850 a month car? Remember Henry Ford? His philosophy was that mass production should make cars so cheap and so easy to repair that anyone could own one? Henry Ford was obviously a shrewd Capitalist, and these modern car companies could not be more diametrically opposed to his viewpoint. They want to tack on surprise fees that you won't even consider, to a car that's got you bleeding out like a deer that's been hung on a rack. They control the government safety agencies. They ask for all of these new "safety" features to be mandatory. That way their competitors can't produce an affordable car either. When you wreck it, it's totaled because it costs $1,000 for the body damage and $10,000 to realign some sensors. When those idiots ran into my Impala, you know what I did? I pulled off the bumper cover and put on an aftermarket one that was on ebay for $150. It's held on by standard bolts that you can just unscrew and screw back in. It took out my fog lamps, but the plastic was so yellowed anyway that I just unplugged them and tossed them in the dumpster."
In the next part we shall revisit the issue from another angle. Stay tuned. █
Linux Isn't Loved by Microsoft, It is Being Googlebombed by Microsoft
Posted in Apple, Deception, GNU/Linux, Marketing, Microsoft at 7:50 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Journalism on the Web is dying and is being replaced by SEO/affiliate links/spam farms; the vacuum is moreover being exploited by PR operatives who boost brands of Microsoft by piggybacking opposing brands, such as "Linux"
THE ATTACK on the brand or the name (or brand name) "Linux" carries on. It's moreover being 'hijacked' by the very same people and companies that are looking to undermine GNU/Linux. They know exactly what they're doing and the media helps them. It's intentional.
"It has been getting harder to find actual GNU/Linux news, partly because the media isn't functioning anymore and a lot of self-described journalists are just PR spammers."Earlier this year we stated that Phoronix should be careful of Microsoft after Phoronix had received 'freebies' from Microsoft. This is how sites self-nuke and drive away their audience. Looking at the front page of Phoronix, as I did in the above video, you find Phoronix doing Microsoft articles more than once per day. Some people point this out in the comments; they're not happy.
As a side note, we still see Visual Studio Code being wrongly described as "open source" and WSL being painted (sometimes even in Microsoft/Windows sites) as "Linux" even though it's just Windows. ChromeOS with Crostini is "Linux" because ChromeOS is at least GNU/Linux-based (Gentoo to be more specific).
It has been getting harder to find actual GNU/Linux news, partly because the media isn't functioning anymore and a lot of self-described journalists are just PR spammers. We wrote some things about this last year. Over the past few weeks we saw UbuntuPIT, a site that used to cover GNU/Linux/Ubuntu, becoming an Amazon spam farm (affiliate links, garbage disguised as recommendations) and over the past year that site promoted lots of Windows things, sometimes iOS and Android. They ought to drop "Ubuntu" from that site's name. █
Developer of the "Better" App, Which Provides a Content Blocker for Safari, Considers Quitting Due to Apple's Plans to Invade Users' Privacy With "CSAM" Scanner.
Posted in Apple at 6:33 am by Guest Editorial Team
Guest post by Ryan, reprinted with permission from the original
Summary: The developer of the Better app may quit and remove the app from the Apple store due to Apple's privacy violations.
In a bug report regarding potentially switching to Better's content blocker for GNOME Web, the maintainer of Better says that he and the co-maintainer, his wife, are considering getting out of the Apple app development business entirely.
He blames Apple's plans to invade the device with "client side scanning", which Apple claims will detect child pornography stored on iPhones, Macs, and iPad tablets.
While Apple claims that is what it will do, it will really enable massive government surveillance and will lead to regimes like the Communist Party of China and various Islamic theocracies rounding up and murdering people for everything ranging from being a hated minority (gay, Uyghurs, etc.) to wanting democratic government.
Apple already goes to lengths _beyond_ what is legally required in order to do business in China now. For example, you can't have your Apple merchandise engraved with numbers that correspond to the date of the Tienanmen Square Massacre, even though there's no legal requirement to prevent them from etching those numbers onto a product.
It was also just two years ago that Apple also proactively removed a song about the massacre from the Apple Music disservice. The sources I read say it didn't happen in Hong Kong SAR, but it probably has by now. There's hardly a difference since the so-called "National Security Law" was foisted on them and people began disappearing.
The Communist Party of China tramples over individual rights and freedoms. It's what they do. Apple assists them. If you think anything good will come out of "client side device scanning", I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge for two dollars.
And they realize that while the United States conducts "freedom of navigation" exercises in the South China Sea, they can conquer us without firing a shot by putting us in horrible debt to them and buying up American property and companies, and using their money to corrupt universities.
In fact, in Lake County, Illinois, I stopped calling the community college the Colleges of Lake County and started calling them the Communists of Lake County. There is so much Chinese propaganda going on in there, you wouldn't believe me if I laid out the full extent of it for you.
They paint a very rosy picture of China when what's actually going on in there is quite horrible and sad, and people are choking on pollution and disappeared by secret police (murdered?), and are too afraid to even speak about it. In the mean time, CLC is pitching an international study program like it was a trip to paradise!
"Usually with Apple's tracking and advertising libraries, but often with Google's as well, and of course Google pays to be the default search engine on iPhones, and hardly anyone changes that."While I applaud Aral Balkan for seeing through the Apple privacy bullshit and leaning towards removing his apps to cease paying them 30% of his app revenues to inflict this abuse on their customers, many developers frankly don't give a damn and would never inconvenience themselves in such a manner.
In fact, most Apple apps spy on the user to the same extent that most Android apps out of the Play Store do. The author knows this because they're the ones who put the tracking libraries inside the app!
Usually with Apple's tracking and advertising libraries, but often with Google's as well, and of course Google pays to be the default search engine on iPhones, and hardly anyone changes that.
The marketing of "privacy" to users with later versions of iOS serves mainly to try to make it less convenient for other companies to spy on you without using Apple's tracking garbage, and to position Apple to be the only ad network that iOS developers would want to use.
Richard Stallman mentioned that iPhones (and iOS) are worse than Android, because they do every nasty thing Android does, and then stop you from even considering installing Free and Open Source Software from a repo like F-Droid.
He suggested a good name for a hypothetical such store, though. F-Apple. █
Free Software Foundation, 36 Years Old, Still Fights for Software Freedom

Summary: Free software supporters should not forget that in the face of a rather vicious and corporate-backed online mob the FSF brought its founder back to the board; it has since then lessened its dependence on funding from large corporations, which means it deserves more supporters or donations from individuals who value software freedom
THE past few years we wrote hundreds of articles about the Free Software Foundation (FSF), which is 36 this year (it turns 36 in one month and one day). Yes, 36. A lot older than Linux. In past years we noted that the FSF had become a little dependent on a bunch of rather large companies — which we estimated (based on IRS filings) to account for about half of the FSF's budget.
That's not the case anymore.
"The FSF is definitely still effective and it deserves our support. It's not sucking the teat of Google or IBM or any other very large company."It can take a year or two to gain public access to IRS filings which correspond to a present year, but we suspect that a large majority of the FSF's budget comes from supporters (which in FSF terms means individuals, not corporations which are dubbed "patrons").
In the video above (first video in a while that uses an external camera) I take a look at last night's posts from the FSF. They hire additional people and they still speak out against Apple. The FSF is definitely still effective and it deserves our support. It's not sucking the teat of Google or IBM or any other very large company. █
"Just had someone DM me saying they got Google money for their NGO and Google might be terrible but taking their money doesn't make your organisation bad. So I told them I could probably get them funding from Saudi Arabia and they went silent."

'Free' Market Racism
Posted in Apple, Deception, IBM, Microsoft at 8:53 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Deregulation favours the powerful
Summary: The large corporations and corporate media conveniently ignore the most large-scale racism out there, instead moaning about their victims being intolerant and fussy
THE PROFITS make jobs aplenty
As "war on terror" turns twenty
More bombs beget wealth
Ask IBM how many bombs we should have
Microsoft provides everything for ICE
But it bans the word "master" because we must all be nice
Regulation might harm the economy
Or so says the false dichotomy
Free software communities are very unruly
Because they oppose corporate racism, ever so truly
Unstaffed by monopoly makes one a bigoted nut
Or so said the kettle to a pot
Support the monopolies, or else you're a Communist
Executives with multi-million-dollar salaries call you a narcissist
Free market wins, just look at the debt
Taxpayers will bail out, collaterals for the bet
Apple sweatshops made in China
Scanning all your files for a vagina
Communism works for the rich
Get back to work, don't moan and bitch
Racism is what the media deems it
Like the 'wrong' branch name in Git
IBM saluting diversity
To gaslight and bury adversity
Money sets you free
Ignore the strange fruit on the tree
Back to your cubicle, labourer
Ignore your boss, the murderer
"Women and minorities paid less"Quarterly results imminent
Creative accounting of the pertinent
Blame Russia, China, and COVID-19 pandemic
Never admit the company is just a relic
Come back to the office with lowered pay
There's nothing you can even say
Women and minorities paid less
Because to discrimination we proudly say "yes!" █

Summary: Apple says it "protects children" but it is in fact handing over a weapon to the state (against anyone the state deems an "enemy" for whatever reason) by eradicating the expectation of privacy in one's private computing devices
APPLE has quite a catastrophe in its hands. It's discrediting its own advertising campaign, which it needed to spend many millions if not billions of dollars on (convincing many fools that 'i' devices stand for privacy). In our next batch of Daily Links we shall show the accumulation of several new Apple scandals.
"The media has devoted a lot of space, time, and attention to Apple's plan to scan and extract hashes from people's private devices, not their communications, transmissions, or "online" ("clown") storage."Ryan Farmer, a longtime reader, doesn't think too highly of Tim Cook, Apple's CEO for about a decade now. Despite being gay, Ryan strongly dislikes Cook. To quote him: "He seems to be as much of an older white business criminal as the rest. Apple's behavior is extremely right-wing. They exploit slave labor, don't much care for human rights. They even delve into social issues with the software, like routing women seeking abortions to fake abortion clinics that are really Christians who hector women into keeping the pregnancy when they get there. And I don't really like abortion, but I think that your computer should do what you asked it to do. Apple is clearly taking a political stand on a lot of these issues, and it's squarely right-wing on social issues and in support of a corporate fascist state that doesn't tax them or get in their way with regulation. Much like the other "big tech" companies, honestly. They all shook hands with Trump and then dumped him as soon as he got the "tax law" passed. They were paying negative real rates on taxation to begin with and now it's worse yet. They got everything they were going to get from him and then cut him loose, and if Tim Cook cared about gay rights he'd have never been photographed in the same room, much less shaking hands."
"If homosexuality was a criminal offense and a scandal today, and the governments leaned on Apple to help turn people in for it, I doubt they would object or resist," Ryan continues. "They're a business and they do what the government wants most of the time, expecting things in return for it. The "CSAM" excuse is just a foot in the door. Nobody will go to bat for these people because what they do is disgusting and detestable and should qualify for hanging, honestly, in many cases. And that's the whole point. It will start there, but it will not end there."
"Move to Free software. People are presumed innocent, not guilty, and proper legal procedures are followed (such as judges authorising a search based on leads, testimonies, and bits of evidence)."The media has devoted a lot of space, time and attention to Apple's plan to scan and extract hashes from people's private devices, not their communications, transmissions, or "online" ("clown") storage. We have strong reasons to suspect that Apple isn't the first; it is the first to speak about it and that should mortify every innocent person. Move to Free software. People are presumed innocent, not guilty, and proper legal procedures are followed (such as judges authorising a search based on leads, testimonies, and bits of evidence).
In the video above I forgot to show what I had planned to show; it's my Palm PDA, which lacks a connection. It used Bluetooth back in the days; it still does IR, but without physical access nobody can see my personal notes on that device. And that used to be normal. That was, once upon a time, the expectation of device owners (about 2 decades ago, going back to their very genesis).
The problem isn't just Apple, but all those large and state-connected technology companies which prefer for everyone to think that only criminals would want or need privacy.
"The problem isn't just Apple, but all those large and state-connected technology companies which prefer for everyone to think that only criminals would want or need privacy.""Our system of laws has traditionally been set up to at least have the appearance of the presumption of innocence and the theory that it's better to accidentally let some guilty people go than to deprive others of their constitutional rights," Ryan asserts. "And what the iPhone is doing is really an end run around due process. Because you're a witness against yourself and you're not secure in your "papers and effects" from an unreasonable search. The government is using the iPhone as a "constitution condom".
"If the people who wrote the Bill of Rights were alive today they'd be horrified, I think, to see how many ways the government has nullified our rights and freedoms. There is literally nothing in the constitution that even gives them the right to do "COVID lockdowns". The whole exercise has been one of an unmitigated power grab. They keep doing things that are disproportional to the problem that we face in order to set precedent. They declare an emergency and then they give themselves emergency powers that don't end. Governor Pritzker in Illinois has used the Illinois Emergency Management Act to suspend laws, write up rules that conflict with laws, etc. and all of this says that he has that authority for 30 days. This emergency has been going on for 18 months and nobody has challenged it."
Some people do as they please and get away with it regardless. It's a multi-tiered society with official and unofficial 'royals'.
"Some people do as they please and get away with it regardless."There are many headlines this week about 'Prince' Andrew getting in trouble (lawsuit for sexual assault, coming from an underage sex abuse victim, obviously connected to the trafficker, Epstein) and lots of recycled crap about Bill Gates "regretting" his close connections to Epstein (even visiting him in prison to help him get out of there by reputation laundering). Gates obviously knew what he had done. It was not possible not to know at that stage.
Well, why did he "faint" as reported in the media (he was only concerned about the public finding out) if he is innocent? Why is his wife and his best friends among those distancing themselves from him? Why is he paying Twitter and fearing people who talk about him? One can only speculate, but remember that it wasn't Microsoft (MSN) that turned in his pedophile engineer, who got arrested for pedophila in Bill's very own home. The tip came from Google because the engineer had passed child pornography through GMail (he also had an MSN account) and then, upon request, Comcast provided additional logs. The nature of these depictions (photos and videos) was particularly disturbing and we'll refrain from explaining the severity. The amount of material was vast. It was spread among lots or devices, some of them portable.
Castles with keys held by respective governments to ensure anytime access
"There are many headlines this week about 'Prince' Andrew getting in trouble (lawsuit for sexual assault, coming from an underage sex abuse victim, obviously connected to the trafficker, Epstein) and lots of recycled crap about Bill Gates "regretting" his close connections to Epstein (even visiting him in prison to help him get out of there by reputation laundering).""Apple seriously underestimated the blowback that this would receive," Ryan has told us in IRC. "Many people who are aware of what they're doing have followed Apple's "policy evolution" from "We will absolutely never build a backdoor into our products." to "We're building a backdoor into our products and it breaks E2E encryption in everything, including iMessage, just like the governments requested, but it'll never be used for anything else. Trust us! Oh, and anyone who complains about where this is obviously going is a "screeching whiner". There are dark days ahead if people passively accept this, and Google is no doubt under the same pressure from the same governments to bake this into Android phones as well. For Apple to do this while advertising privacy, then calling people who want privacy the tinfoil hat club and sympathizers for child abusers is hypocrisy of the first order. Your platform, in this case Apple's products, are either secured or backdoored. There's no other state they're in. No partial backdoor. From here on out, they are backdoored government malware, in total. I predict that many people won't notice or will fall in line with the "Anyone who wants privacy is a criminal, but I use my iPhone because the billboard said Privacy." camp. Privacy for who? From what? Nothing that matters at this point. Perhaps if Apple is putting in a scanning program, they can do something about all that iPhone malware that manages to get along just fine even though their users are trapped in the crApp Store. Smartphones are a sewer, but Android is clearly the platform for people who prefer their bullshit out in the open where we can get a good whiff." █

What It Means to be a Free Software Operator, Not a User or Consumer
Posted in Apple, GNU/Linux, Google, IBM, Microsoft at 4:58 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Summary: A lot of people lack control over computers (or small computing devices) that they purchase and it's getting worse over time
THE word "user" (in relation to software, not drugs) has long been mildly problematic because it lessens the role of a person operating some piece of software. Or sometimes a whole computing device. Large technology firms, typically monopolists in some respective domain, try to tell us "master" is a highly offensive word (an opportunistic distortion of this word's meaning and origin) but the word "master" accurately describes what they are to those so-called 'users' of their so-called 'products', 'solutions', 'suites' etc.
"It's about social control, 'dressed up' or spun as safety (or health, more so during a pandemic)."First, let's examine a little bit of background and recapitulate. It's important to understand the extent to which "users" or "consumers" (who merely buy things) lose control of what otherwise can be general-purpose computers. It gets worse rather rapidly, over time…
Nowadays it's no longer clear who truly owns a device. Is there a right to repair? To modify? If a buyer of some device lacks the freedom to do as he/she pleases with that device, is that buyer merely footing the bill for a device otherwise truly owned and controlled by the seller, the manufacturer (or the firm putting its brand on the device)? To use a more practical example, when one buys a "Chromebook" (a ChromeOS-running laptop, with an OS based on Gentoo GNU/Linux but controlled remotely by Google), is that just a laptop of Google whose production cost is partly covered by the buyer? Or even wholly by some 'consumer' that consumes ads and provides Google with personal data?
A lot of people never think about those things. They ought to.
Years ago, Microsoft and Intel plotted to make it even harder to boot on a computer any operating system other than "approved" ones (approved by them, not the person who supposedly owns the computer). Then, last week, Google and Red Hat (IBM), which played a big role in the Microsoft and Intel plot, worked to achieve the same at a software level. Fronting or relaying their malicious and self-serving intent through a thing misleadingly named Linux Foundation, they took a step towards that goal. Remember this is the same Red Hat which works for and with the NSA. And Google which famously (or infamously/notoriously) put 'weakened' – i.e broken — NSA encryption inside the Linux kernel. Google recently pretended to be championing security in Linux, but don't fall for it. As a famous book puts it, "Google Is Not What It Seems" (it's vastly worse; it's also a trolling operation which bribes people).
"Nowadays it's no longer clear who truly owns a device."Notice we've not yet even mentioned Apple and Microsoft. We assume readers are already aware of the problems associated with them. They even deny users' right to repair their own devices/computers (which they paid for).
Suffice to say, moving away from Apple and Microsoft operating systems may not be enough; there are many operating systems out there that do not respect users' freedom (or, they treat owners and buyers as mere "users"). We've already mentioned ChromeOS, but the most widely user-side (yes, user) operating system is Android. Unless devices are 'jail-broken', they will only operate within the artificial limits imposed by Google and its "store" monopoly (Apple's is even worse and a lot more restrictive in that regard).
So what does that mean to free (as in liberate) oneself from all those limitations? Being able to boot one's operating system of choice, install and use one's software of choice, repair one's machine, modify/enhance it etc.
National security, often abbreviated as just "security" (to confuse us, conflating one thing with another — a contradictory concept), is a pretext for back doors, surveillance, and censorship. It's about social control, 'dressed up' or spun as safety (or health, more so during a pandemic).
Based on what we're hearing, the EPO's management now uses the pandemic to impose more oppressive (and sometimes illegal) software on staff. Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos, the real criminals, are promoting fake encryption. Together with Microsoft they break the law, not just when it comes to granting European software patents (we already leaked evidence of favourable treatment for Microsoft) but also when it comes to violating privacy of EPO workers, as well as everyone those workers interact with.
"National security, often abbreviated as just "security" (to confuse us, conflating one thing with another — a contradictory concept), is a pretext for back doors, surveillance, and censorship."Based on what we've read, it'll get a lot more difficult for EPO workers to not use Microsoft malware inside their homes, which they share with other tenants. Usually loved ones, such as close family…
But we may have digressed somewhat.
To use a less specific example, many people out there are still under the false illusion of freedom or free will. Their world is superficially being limited, e.g. by what Microsoft considers to be "legal" code in GitHub (i.e. not harmful to Microsoft's business agenda), what Twitter and Facebook consider to be 'permissible' viewpoints (something advertisers benefit from or at least tolerate), what Google and Apple consider to be "good" software (or apps), and what Amazon deems "good actors" (they deplatformed Wikileaks for exposing US crimes a decade before doing the same to Parler for other reasons).
Technology should be and remain decentralised to the degree which is possible. Anything else is ripe or destined for abuse. A lot of people overlook all those issues until it's too late to do something about them. Even Let's Encrypt poses such a dilemma [1, 2]. It creates a sort of monopoly and it's indebted to imperialistic hands.
"Let's help or at least strive to free as many people as we can, turning so-called 'users' into operators of their own machines."If you are reading this on a "Mac" or a "Chromebook" or some sort of "PC" (this is a euphemism for a computer controlled by Microsoft; it's typically possible to liberate such a computer without buying a new one), look at gnu.org and study the historical importance of digital/computing freedom. It predates "Linux" by nearly a decade and still pitches the right principles/philosophy. A lot of what was written back in the 1980s is still highly relevant today.
Let's help or at least strive to free as many people as we can, turning so-called 'users' into operators of their own machines. █

There was no way Walter Abercrombie was coming to Pittsburgh to be anything other than Franco Harris' eventual replacement.
Unfortunately, much like a lot of things involving the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1980s, Walter Abercrombie's Steelers career never came close to matching Franco Harris' or recapturing the magic No. 32 was a part of in the previous decade, when he helped lead the team to four Super Bowl titles.
As the AP pointed out in a story published on October 31, 1984 shortly after the Seahawks cut Harris, Franco retired from the NFL with the most career 1,000-yard seasons (eight) and rushing attempts (2,949).
Therefore, Abercrombie wasn't just trying to fill some big shoes; he was tasked to fill, perhaps, the biggest shoes on the team, other than the cowboy boots left behind by Terry Bradshaw.
Not only did Abercrombie fail to fill Harris' shoes, he was never the team's leading-rusher in any given year. In six seasons with the Steelers, Abercrombie rushed for 3,343 yards and 22 touchdowns, and he often took a backseat to big, bruising fullback Frank Pollard, a 1980 11th round pick out of Baylor, ironically enough, who was Pittsburgh's leading-rusher in the '80s with 3,989 yards.
Indeed, early in the Steelers 1986 season, Chuck Noll did something he was not wont to do – he picked up Earnest Jackson off of waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles, and Jackson actually ended up getting two more carries than Abercrombie, despite starting 3 fewer games.
In-fact, Abercrombie had such good hands there were some fans who clamored for him to move to receiver (and not necessarily out of love), so Rich Erenberg, a ninth round pick out of Colgate in 1984, could get a chance to start at tailback.
After six years in Pittsburgh, Abercrombie, bothered by knee injuries and with younger players like Merril Hoge on the rise, was released prior to the 1988 season and finished up his career with the Philadelphia Eagles one year later.
Abercrombie did have some decent years, however. He rushed for 851 yards in 1985. One year later, he added another 877 yards on the ground, which, coupled with those aforementioned 395 receiving yards, gave him 1,272 yards from scrimmage.
Sadly, Abercrombie's two best years coincided with back-to-back losing seasons, which hadn't occurred during Chuck Noll's regime since 1970 and 1971– not so coincidentally the last two years before Harris arrived on the scene in 1972.
But Abercrombie did have some crucial performances for the Steelers in high stakes situations. As the aforementioned Post-Gazette article pointed out, No. 34 rushed for 75 yards and added another 18 receiving yards in a Steelers 24-17 upset of the Broncos in a 1984 divisional playoff game at Mile High Stadium.
Abercrombie acquitted himself so well in that playoff game, that he was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. However, two weeks earlier, in the final regular season game against the defending Super Bowl-champion Raiders in Los Angeles on December 16, 1984, Abercrombie had perhaps the best day of his career–and right when the Steelers needed it most.
When the Steelers (8-7) took the field at 4 p.m. EST, they did so with the knowledge that they needed to win in-order to capture the AFC Central Division title. Earlier in the day, the Bengals wiped out the Bills, 52-21, to finish at 8-8. Cincinnati held the tiebreaker, and a Steelers loss would mean missing the postseason for the third time in five years.
Thankfully, Abercrombie came through with 111 yards on the ground and another 72 through the air–including a 59-yard catch-and-run late in the game that set-up Pollard's one-yard touchdown plunge.
Pittsburgh won, 13-7, and advanced to Denver where Abercrombie and Co. pulled off the incredible playoff upset two weeks later.
Today, Abercrombie remains Baylor's all-time leading rusher, and he's also heavily involved with his alma mater; since 2004, he's acted as executive director of the Baylor "B" Association.
Walter Abercrombie's Steelers career may have fallen short of filling the shoes left by Franco Harris, and he certainly didn't leave behind much of a Steelers legacy. But the love and respect he has at Baylor shows that, well, maybe a Steelers legacy isn't the only one that matters.

This is such a rich and hearty soup! My husband used to say that soup was for sissies, but even he can fill up on this. I use deer sausage in this recipe because my husband processes it himself so we always have tons to use up. If you don't have deer sausage, look for a smoked sausage that's free of nitrates and sugar.
Heat large soup pot over medium-high heat and brown the sausage for about 5 minutes. Transfer sausage to a paper lined plate with a slotted spoon. Leave about 2 T of the fat in the pot, add olive oil if necessary.
Add garlic, carrot, celery, and onion to the cooking fat in pot and saute over medium heat until soft. Add kale and cook until slightly wilted. Add broth and potatoes and bring to a boil for a few minutes.
Add cooked sausage, lower the heat to simmer and cook uncovered until everything is soft. Usually takes a couple of hours. I like cooking until potatoes basically disintegrate. Taste to see if you need to add the salt before serving.
*Depending on your sausage, whether already cooked or not, fatty or not, you may want to add during last 5-10 minutes of cooking to avoid over-drying.

Walmart requests patrons to not carry handguns in their stores, Kroger follows suit

In a bold move to help address the killing sprees that have overtaken the United States recently, Walmart stores are publicly requesting their patrons refrain from carrying handguns in stores, despite state laws that permit them to do so. This, however, does not apply to law enforcement officers. State laws prohibit stores from placing a ban on weapon carry, even though the stores are on private property.
Furthermore, they have announced they will discontinue the sale of handgun ammunition. Walmart in Bentonville, Arkansas announced on Sept. 3, handgun and short-barrel ammunition, .223 caliber and 5.56 caliber that are used in military-style weapons will be discontinued once the present stocks are depleted.
Handguns are displayed on a vendor's table at an annual gun show in Albany, N.Y. In a study looking at data from 2006 to 2014, serious gun injuries including many from assaults sent 75,000 U.S. children and teens to emergency rooms over the nine years. Results were released on Oct. 29, 2018. (Philip Kamrass/AP Photo, File)
The Alaskan store, the only store that still carries handguns, will no longer do so, and they will carry only hunting rifles and ammunition to suit. Walmart's CEO Doug McMillon sent a memo to employees; "We have a long heritage as a company of serving responsible hunters and sportsmen and women, and we're going to continue doing so," adding, "as it relates to safety in our stores, there have been multiple incidents since El Paso where individuals attempting to make a statement and test our response have entered our stores carrying weapons in a way that frightened or concerned our associates and customers."
McMillon, also a gun owner, said in a company email, "These incidents are concerning and we would like to avoid them, so we are respectfully requesting that customers no longer openly carry firearms into our stores or Sam's Clubs in states where 'open carry' is permitted—unless they are authorized law enforcement officers. As we've seen before, these horrific events occur and then the spotlight fades. We should not allow that to happen. Congress and the administration should act."

The move to ban guns in Walmart comes after just weeks ago, on Aug. 3, a gunman carrying an AK-style firearm went on a shooting rampage in a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, that left 22 dead and dozens more injured. This was one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history. The AK had previously been removed from sale in Walmart stores, as they had stopped selling assault rifles in 2015. Texas became an open carry state in 2016. With many of the Walmart stores situated in rural areas where there is a strong heritage of hunting and fishing, stores are frequented by hunters wanting to buy equipment and ammunition, and this has put Walmart in an awkward situation. Walmart intends to urge the White House to implement "common sense" measures, "In a complex situation lacking a simple solution, we are trying to take constructive steps to reduce the risk that events like these will happen again," McMillon wrote in his memo. "The status quo is unacceptable," reports Politico. With more than half of its 4,000 U.S. stores selling firearms, Walmart is hoping to influence other gun retailers to follow suit by implementing some of their practices, such as sharing software they use to carry out background checks.
This gun move by Walmart was followed by a statement on the same day by grogery giant Kroger, "Kroger is respectfully asking that customers no longer openly carry firearms into our stores, other than authorized law enforcement officers," Jessica Adelman, group vice president of corporate affairs, said. "We are also joining those encouraging our elected leaders to pass laws that will strengthen background checks and remove weapons from those who have been found to pose a risk for violence," reports Newsweek.
"Kroger has demonstrated with our actions that we recognize the growing chorus of Americans who are no longer comfortable with the status quo and who are advocating for concrete and common sense gun reforms," she added.
Starbuck's Target and Wendy's have also recently asked customers to not carry guns in their stores.

We've all been there – ads on every website shouting "AMAZING SALES!!!" And you immediately go "omg I need to buy it alllll!!". People, we do not want tears on the lead up to Christmas because you have no monies to buy gifts, so follow my rules when navigating those enticing sales and live to shop another day!
1.) Have You Done Your Research?
Looking into the brands you love ahead of time and making a note of what you want is the way to go, so there's no derailing on the day! Also, make sure you're aware of what the brands highest sale % has been in the past, if you're waiting for 70% off, that may just not happen and you'll miss out on the item you want because you waited for a % that was never going to come.
2.) Is It Top Quality?
Go into the items description, what fabrics are being used? This will usually give you a much better insight as to whether the piece will wear well and whether you'll get a good amount of time with said item prior to it falling asunder!
Don't fall down that rabbit hole Alice, you DO NOT want to buy the wrong size just because it's sold out in yours. It'll either sit in your wardrobe forever untouched OR you'll be faced with the heartbreaking palava that is, returning items over the busy holiday period.
4.) What Is The Return Policy?
Check out what theirs is, it will differ with each and every site and brand, so do make sure you know what your options are before you pay.
5.) Do You Need It?
I'm not saying you shouldn't ever buy something you just want – I've definitely done that – but more often than not, I've actually needed the piece as well (SURE I could've bought a cheaper version of it somewhere else, but I didn't want to – see what I mean?). If you need a new pair of tailored trousers, pull the trigger – if you already have 5 pairs hanging in your wardrobe, perhaps look into getting a different colour, or a pencil skirt instead.
6.) Are You Wearing Black Friday Goggles?
Face it, the shopping frenzy of Black Friday is easy to get swept up in. So take a BREATH and remember, the urgency you feel has been created by HUGE companies who have incredible marketing and pr teams that have spent MONTHS figuring out how to get you to buy – they want you to buy – they want you to feel like EVERYTHING is selling out so that you impulse buy because "omg it'll be snapped up by that woman on the opposite side of the world – I can't let her have it – it's mine!!!". Take the goggles off, de-Gollum yourself and just be a grown up for a second, do you actually want this, or have you succumbed to the hype?
7.) Do You LOVE It?
This is the big one because if you cannot answer a big emphatic YES at the time of purchasing, you really shouldn't be buying it. Don't get suckered in by sale prices, just because it's a great deal does not make it a great piece for YOU. Know what you need and what you love and stick with those rather than getting distracted when it comes to actually buying some goodies. If you LOVE it, then you'll love it when you get it which means you will wear it/use it.
Answer truthfully to all of the above and if the answers are the right ones then – YOU GO GLEN-CO-CO!
These are good questions. I feel like a lot of black Friday stuff is impulse but if you really think about it you can narrow it down to what you really need.
Having a list is a great idea!

Q: Determine what VM is running my Azure DevOps agent I inherited an Azure DevOps gig (of course with little documentation) and now I am trying to determine what VM is running the self hosted agents.
I can't seem to find a direct (easy) way other than look at each VM (34 are here).
Is there a way to identify what VM is running the agent from the DevOps or Azure portal?
Thanks in advance!

A: nvm. Found it under agent pools - agents - capabilities.

A: In Portal Azure Devops Click in organization Setting.

you find the option agent Pools.

Click in pool

Click in agent and find de option Capabilities.

In this windows you have the field Agent.ComputerName in windows.
this script read all pools and generate a file with all agents and computername.
(az pipelines pool list --query "[].{id:id,name:name}" | ConvertFrom-Json ) | ForEach-Object {
    #write-host "pool "$_.id

    $poolid=$_.id
    $poolname=$_.name
    (az pipelines agent list --pool-id $poolid --query "[].{id:id,name:name}" | ConvertFrom-Json ) | ForEach-Object {
            #write-host "a"$_.id
            $agent_id=$_.id
            $agent_name=$_.name
            $name_server=(az pipelines agent show --pool-id $poolid --id $agent_id --include-capabilities | ConvertFrom-Json ).systemCapabilities."Agent.ComputerName"
