Stats Of The Weird: Steelers Vs Panthers
By Alex Kozora
Posted on December 19, 2022 at 9:30 am
Gifting you some weird this holiday season.
– The Steelers ran the ball a whopping 45 times in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. To avoid Mike Tomlin's first losing season, it ties the highest number of rushing attempts in the Tomlin era, 2007 to present, and the most Pittsburgh's ever had in regulation. The only other instance came in the team's 19-16 overtime win against the Buffalo Bills on November 28, 2010.
The last time the Steelers ran the ball more often came in 2006 when they did so 52 times in a 27-7 win against the Cleveland Browns.
– Despite the 45 rushing attempts, 36 of them by running backs/fullbacks, Pittsburgh didn't have a run longer than 10 yards between that group. Steven Sims had the long of the day, a 22-yard gain.
– It's also the first time since Week 3 of the 2020 season the Steelers rushed for three touchdowns in one game. It's only the seventh time of the Mike Tomlin era.
– Pittsburgh scored touchdowns on their first two drives of this game, the first time they've done that since Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans of the 2020 season.
– Pittsburgh is 6-1 when they don't turn the ball over. They are 0-7 when they do.
– Pittsburgh is now 6-0 when they lead after the first quarter. 0-8 when they don't. So watch the first quarter and you'll know how the fourth quarter will end.
– This is Mitch Trubisky's second rushing TD of the season but a stat worth revisiting even if it was true for his first one. Trubisky now has a rushing TD in six straight seasons, every year since he entered the league in 2017. He's one of 18 total players in the NFL with that sort of streak and one of just three QBs in the league entering the week. Just him, Kirk Cousins, and Dak Prescott. What a group.
– Diontae Johnson currently holds an NFL record. He has 77 receptions on the season without a touchdown. As of today, it stands as the most receptions by a wide receiver in NFL history without a score, surpassing Raymond Berry's mark of 75 set in 1961. Now, it's possible other players had more and then caught a TD pass later in the season that I'm not certain of. But I am certain that if Johnson doesn't find paydirt the next three weeks, he will claim the record for a wide receiver.
Next up is the all-time leading record regardless of position. That's held by Tampa Bay RB James Wilder who had 85 in 1984. Roger Craig, who had 81 in 1986 is the one other name ahead of Johnson.
Johnson is going to end the year with more than 85 receptions. It's just a matter of whether or not he scores. If he doesn't, he'll hold an infamous record.
– Johnson had a good game Sunday but finished with 10 receptions for 98 yards. He's the first Steelers' wide receiver with 10+ receptions and less than 100 yards since Antonio Brown had a 10/96/1 line in a 2016 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Johnson's line nearly matches his seasonal numbers, coming into the game averaging 9.7 yards per reception.
– Okay, a positive Diontae Johnson stat. He caught all 10 of his targets yesterday, becoming the first Steelers' receiver since Antonio Brown in 2017 to do so with a minimum of 10 targets. Brown caught all 11 of his that day. Dating back to 1992, Brown (who did it three times, twice in 2014 and that 2017 game) and Johnson are the only Steelers' wide receivers to have that kind of game.
Entering the week, Johnson becomes the only wide receiver in the league to achieve that feat this season (I'm writing this before the Sunday's games data is uploaded) and the first wideout since Arizona's Rondale Moore last year. Since 2020, only Stefon Diggs (who did it twice) has a 100% catch rate on 10+ targets.
– The Steelers went on a 21-play drive to open up the third quarter, the longest drive they've had since at least 2001 and the first by Pittsburgh over that span. It's the first by any team since the 2019 San Francisco 49ers. Since '01, the only team to have a longer drive than the Steelers' 21 plays was the New Orleans Saints in 2007… who also did it against the Panthers. A 24-play drive, but the Saints lost that game.
– After failing to throw a TD pass yesterday, the Steelers have just nine through 14 games. Since the 1970 merger, that's only happened to them in one other season. 1989.
– T.J. Watt set the record last season, but he picked up the 21st multi-sack game of his career against the Panthers. That's the most in team history. In second place is James Harrison's 19. Cam Heyward registered his 12th such game yesterday.
– Pittsburgh held the Carolina Panthers to zero rushing first downs. The Steelers haven't done that to an opponent since 2015 against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Panthers also rushed for 21 yards, the fewest allowed by the Steelers since a different 2015 game when the Cleveland Browns had just 15 in a 30-9 Steelers' win.
– Here's a wild one. Since 1991, the Steelers have had 180 games with 15+ third-down attempts. Their 75% conversion rate done yesterday is their highest, going 12/16. It beats the previous high of 73.3% (11/15) in a 2020 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
– From 2015 to 2020, the Steelers' opponent ran at least 46 plays in a game. Over the last two years, the opposition has been held to 45 or fewer a whopping three times. It's happened twice this year, both since the bye: the New Orleans Saints running 45 in Week 10 while the Carolina Panthers had just 43 yesterday. But neither are as few as the Cincinnati Bengals, who only needed 42 plays to beat the Steelers 24-10 last season.
– Finally, though I loathe the stat, the Steelers are now 5-0 when facing the prospect of a losing season under Mike Tomlin. They went 1-0 in 2012, 3-0 in 2013, and 1-0 this season to avoid nine defeats. They'll need to run the table (or at least tie) to keep Tomlin's streak alive.

Appeals Court Decision Shines Light on Risks of Land Deconstruction if Indian Allotment Owners' and Indian Tribes' Rights Are Not Respected
June 26, 2019 | Construction Law, Appeals
Erika Weiss
In a recent decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit upheld a judgment of trespass against an oil and gas company based on the continued presence of a pipeline on tribal allotment lands in Oklahoma subsequent to the expiration of the easement upon which the pipeline sat. However, the Tenth Circuit reversed the district court's order requiring the oil and gas company, Enable Intrastate Transmission LLC, to remove the pipeline.
This decision underscores the need for uniform legal standards for easements and rights of way over land held in trust by the U.S. State law does not apply to land held in trust and there has been a split among federal circuit courts on how rights of way and easements on tribal land must be handled.
The U.S. has a long history with right of way on tribal lands. In the 1940s, Congress enacted a series of right of way statutes in order to support the construction of the infrastructure necessary for continued western settlement and development. Under the statutes, the secretary of the interior has the power to approve easements over lands "held in trust by the United States for individual Indians or Indian tribes." 25 U.S.C. 323. However to do so, the secretary needs "the consent of the proper tribal officials" if the land in trust is held for an Indian tribe, or the consent of owners of "a majority of the interests" if the land in trust is held for individual Indians. 25 U.S.C. § 324. In Davilla v. Enable Midstream Partners, L.P., 913 F.3d 959 (10th Cir. 2019), the secretary, in 1980 and with the consent of the majority owner of interest in the land, allowed the conveyance of a 25-foot pipeline easement over 160 acres of land held in trust for an individual Indian, known as an allotment. The easement allowed the oil and gas company to "install … and thereafter, use, operate, inspect, repair, maintain, … and remove a single buried natural gas pipeline" for a period of 20 years.
After the expiration of the easement in 2000, the oil and gas company did not remove the pipeline, nor did it immediately seek a new easement. Two years later, the oil and gas company applied for a new easement, but was unable to obtain the consent of a majority of the holders of equitable title in the allotment which then totaled close to 40 individual Indians. As a result, the secretary cancelled the oil and gas company's application for an easement. The oil and gas company continued to operate the pipeline, despite lacking any easement that would allow it to do so over the individual Indian allotments.
Unlawful operation of the pipeline
In 2015, the individual Indian allotment owners sued the oil and gas company for trespass, saying that the company had unlawfully operated the pipeline for more than 15 years. In 2017, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of the individual Indian allotment owners on their trespass claims. Additionally, the district court permanently enjoined the oil and gas company from operating the pipeline and ordered the company to immediately remove the pipeline. The company appealed.
On appeal, the oil and gas company attempted to argue that the individual Indian allotment owners were equivalent to tenancies in common. As a result, because the oil and gas company received consent from five of the nearly 40 allotment owners, it could assert the complete defense of consent to the trespass claims. The Tenth Circuit reasoned that "[a]dopting [the oil and gas company]'s view would therefore frustrate federal Indian land policy, effectively robbing Indian allottees and the government of meaningful control over alienation." Therefore, the Tenth Circuit upheld judgment on the trespass claim.
With regard to the injunctive relief, however, the Tenth Circuit found error in the issuance of the district court's permanent injunction which, among other things, requiring the oil and gas company to remove the pipeline. In granting injunctive relief, the district court relied on Oklahoma law that equitable relief should be granted to restrain a continuing trespass. In doing so, the district court failed to consider federal rules of equity.
Need for uniform standard
In reversing the district court, the Tenth Circuit analyzed that while federal courts will generally adopt state law to avoid the creation of federal common law, the questions raised by Davilla demonstrate a distinct need for nationwide legal standards. Specifically, the Tenth Circuit stated:
Congress provided a way for the Secretary of the Interior to approve easements over and across any lands held in trust by the United States for individual Indians or Indian tribes. This right-of-way statute was to help ensure that necessities such as telegraph lines and roads could continue without encumbrance. While this does not rise to the level of creating a federal interest that federal common law should manage, the nationwide application of this right-of-way statute suggests a need for a uniform federal standard.
As such, the Tenth Circuit found that the district court should have applied the federal standard for permanently enjoining a continuing trespass over allotted Indian lands; i.e., whether an injunction is required to prevent the allotment holders from suffering irreparable harm, whether the threatened injury outweighs the harm that could be caused by an injunction, and the injunctions effect on the public interest. Based on the information before it, the Tenth Circuit remanded the case for the district court to weigh such factors as it appeared that the equities would not weigh in favor of the allotment owners.
Regardless of which way the district court rules, it is likely this case will go through multiple rounds of appeal, as the consequences for both Indian country and utilities on and around Indian land are significant. This case illustrates the need for knowledge of the implications surrounding construction of both pipelines and other structures on and around tribal lands. A misunderstanding of the rights of individual Indians and Indian tribes on Indian land could result in years of prolonged litigation and unnecessary construction or deconstruction costs.

Q: How to organise abstract class hierarchy in C# I have a situation in C# when I need multiple inheritance in order to not double code in implementation class, but that's forbidden in C#.
What should I do?
I have the following interfaces:
public interface ICar
{
   void Move();
   void GetService();
}

public interface ISuperCar : ICar
{
   void MoveFast();
   void HaveARace();
}

And abstract classes:
public abstract class Car : ICar
{
   public void Move()
   {
      Console.WriteLine("Car moves");
   }

   public abstract void GetService();
}

public abstract class SuperCar : Car, ISuperCar
{
   public void MoveFast()
   {
      Console.WriteLine("SuperCar moves fastly");
   }

   public abstract void HaveARace();
}

And their implementations:
public class ToyotaCar : Car
{
   public override void GetService()
   {
      Console.WriteLine("Getting ToyotaService");
   }
}

public class ToyotaSuperCar : SuperCar
{
   public override void GetService()
   {
      Console.WriteLine("Getting ToyotaService");
   }

   public override void HaveARace()
   {
      Console.WriteLine("Have a race in Toyota competition");
   }
}

And the question is how not to double method GetService(). Logically it should by:
public class ToyotaSuperCar : SuperCar, ToyotaCar
{
   public override void HaveARace()
   {
      Console.WriteLine("Have a race in Toyota competition");
   }
}

But multiple inheritance is not available in C#

A: You could use composition instead of inheritance. Make your SuperCar class implement ICar instead of inheriting from Car and pass an ICar object in the constructor to which you delegate the methods:
public abstract class SuperCar : ICar, ISuperCar
{
    private readonly ICar car;

    public SuperCar(ICar car)
    {
        this.car = car;
    }

    public void Move() => car.Move();

    public void GetService() => car.GetService();

    public void MoveFast()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("SuperCar moves fastly");
    }

   public abstract void HaveARace();
}

Your ToyotaSuperCar class would then look like so:
public class ToyotaSuperCar : SuperCar
{
    public ToyotaSuperCar(ToyotaCar car) : base(car) { }

    public override void HaveARace()
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Have a race in Toyota competition");
    }
}

A: You need to do something like this:
public class SuperCarPart : Car, ISuperCar
{
    public override void GetService() { throw new NotImplementedException(); }
    public void HaveARace() { throw new NotImplementedException(); }
    public void MoveFast() { throw new NotImplementedException(); }
}

public class ToyotaSuperCar : ToyotaCar, ISuperCar
{
    private SuperCarPart _superCarPart = new SuperCarPart();
    public void HaveARace()
    {
        _superCarPart.HaveARace();
    }

    public void MoveFast()
    {
        _superCarPart.MoveFast();
    }
}

A: A possibility would be to declare service as its own interface
public interface ICarService
{
    void CarryOutService();
}

The car interfaces then look like this:
public interface ICar
{
    ICarService Service { get; }
    void Move();
}

public interface ISuperCar : ICar
{
    void MoveFast();
    void HaveARace();
}

The abstract classes need a constructor having a ICarService parameter.
public abstract class Car : ICar
{
    public Car(ICarService service) => Service = service;

    public ICarService Service { get; }

    public void Move()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Car moves");
    }
}

public abstract class SuperCar : Car, ISuperCar
{
    public SuperCar(ICarService service)
        : base(service)
    {
    }

    public void MoveFast()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("SuperCar moves fast");
    }

    public abstract void HaveARace();
}

A possible implementation of a service:
public class ToyotaService : ICarService
{
    public void CarryOutService()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Carrying out ToyotaService");
    }
}

In the concrete implementations of the cars you have the choice to either pass the service in the constructors or to instantiate them directly. Since a Toyota will always have a ToyotaService you can instantiate them directly. For more flexibility use the constructor approach.
public class ToyotaCar : Car
{
    public ToyotaCar()
        : base(new ToyotaService())
    {
    }
}

public class ToyotaSuperCar : SuperCar
{
    public ToyotaSuperCar()
        : base(new ToyotaService())
    {
    }

    public override void HaveARace()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Have a race in Toyota competition");
    }
}

Usage:
var car = new ToyotaSuperCar();
car.Service.CarryOutService();

We followed the Composition over inheritance principle here. It has the additional advantage that it becomes easier to extend the service interface in future, since this does not impact the implementation of the cars.

How do I fix this?

Three-quarters of dentists in our most recent poll said they would rather be their own boss than work for someone else.
Said one dentist, "I would much rather have the headaches of an owner than to be subject to the whims of an employer."
But with freedom comes responsibility, and some associate dentists prefer focusing more on practicing dentistry and less on practice management.
On the other hand, 28% of general dentists think associateship is an excellent plan.
Note: Survey sample included 54 respondents.

I've been out of the blogging world lately, getting hopelessly lost in the real one. Sometimes, I swear I know what I'm doing, and then the next thing I know I'm pulling tufts of hair off my head, trying to figure out what I did wrong and how I should go about this whole Life thing. This is one of those moments. But I've had much, much worse, and I know I shouldn't complain after all the good things that have happened to me. Right now, I'm just thankful to the past me for putting up this small space where I can return to and create something worth creating. I've stored way too many photographs and write-ups in my head, and I'll be working in the next days to extract them from the shadowy depths, but for now, I leave you (whoever is still out there) with these shots from Hong Kong.


2. If the rebellion amount to treason, it is punished by the laws of the United States with death. If it be a mere resistance of process, it is generally punished by fine and imprisonment. See Dalloz, Dict. h.t.; Code Penal, 209.
In an eight-page resolution dated March 7, the DOJ ruled "there is no probable cause to indict respondent NajiyaMaute for rebellion.
In its decision, the DOJ cited a 1963 Supreme Court decision which stated that the act of sending or furnishing food supplies does not prove intention to aid in committing rebellion or insurrection.
The second extension of the implementation of martial law coupled with the continued suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in Mindanao will significantly help not only the [Armed Forces], but also the other stakeholders in quelling and putting an end to the on-going DAESH-inspired DIWM groups and CT-staged rebellion, and in restoring public order, safety and stability in Mindanao,' Calida argued.
Therefore realism is hostile to rebellions for freedom, hostile to small nations, hostile to invocations of morality or principlehostile with a good conscience, on the grounds that, in the long run, the stability of the strong is better for everyone than the rebellions of the weak.

It will be 590 years on May 12 this year, the letter said, "since the hanging of the great Greek Cypriot rebel Re Alexis, the serf, who led the rebellion of the Cypriot villagers and farmers against the Franks".
Then there are the issues with understanding what happened during the rebellion and in its bloody and confusing immediate aftermath and assessing how the community reestablished order through more than fifty trials, to say nothing of how this was remembered.
The 1916 Irish Rebellion recounts the weeklong conflict with novel-like celerity, tracing tactical missteps to eventual rebel defeat and the summary executions of rebel leaders that followed.
The 1916 Irish Rebellion includes a historical narrative; a lavish spread of contemporary images and photographs; and a rich selection of sidebar quotations from contemporary documents, prisoners' statements, and other eyewitness accounts to capture the experiences of nationalists and unionists, Irish rebels and British soldiers, and Irish Americans during the turbulent events of Easter Week, 1916.
Scholars of the Taiping Rebellion (1850-64) already have a wide selection of original materials at their disposal, including official Taiping publications and the reports of Western observers.

Fan Bingbing dropped off the radar in June when reports started to swirl that she was involved in a probe into tax evasion in the film industry.
BEIJING — Fan Bingbing, an A-list Chinese movie star who has appeared in the "X-Men" and "Iron Man" film franchises, has more than 62 million followers online in China and fronted campaigns for Montblanc watches and De Beers diamonds, has disappeared.
The star's vanishing act — she dropped off the radar in June when reports started to swirl that she was involved in a probe into tax evasion in the film industry — has sparked wild speculation in China about her fate, including reports the actress had been detained.
Reuters was unable to contact Fan. Calls to her agent went unanswered. When asked about Fan, a spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry replied: "Do you think this is a question of diplomacy?" The Beijing Public Security Bureau declined to comment.
The real-life drama has been playing out at a time when Beijing is tightening the reins on popular culture, looking to stamp out behavior seen as going against the ruling Communist Party's ideological line and co-opting movie stars, pop bands and online celebrities to endorse socialist values.
"It is written in our new movie promotion law that entertainers need to pursue both professional excellence and moral integrity," said Si Ruo, a researcher at the School of Journalism and Communication at China's prestigious Tsinghua University. "In the unbridled growth of the industry in the past few years, we might have overlooked the need for positive energy, so the government's intervention is reasonable."
Fan Bingbing is the most prominent example. The actress, 36, is China's equivalent of Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence. She topped Forbes' China celebrity rich list last year with earnings of 300 million yuan ($43.78 million).
A Chinese TV anchor in May was widely reported to have posted tax-dodging pay agreements online known as "yin-yang" contracts — one setting out the real agreed payment terms and a second with a lower figure for the tax authorities — that appeared to implicate Fan.
Hong Kong's South China Morning Post reported that Fan's studio denied she had ever signed separate contracts for a single job. China's tax bureau said in June it was launching a tax evasion investigation into the film and television industry.
State-run media have begun using phrases such as "tainted artists," with official bodies pledging to ban stars who behave badly, including drug taking, gambling or visiting prostitutes.
An open letter earlier this month from members of the Beijing Trade Association for Performances said the body would "purify" the city's entertainment and performance sector and guide artists towards "core socialist values."
"Celebrities are seen as a weapon in the Party's ideological battle, which is fought across all sectors all the time," said Jonathan Sullivan, Director of China Programmes at the University of Nottingham.
China has long sought to control the creative arts, from censoring movies to literature. However, a boom in online media has prompted a new push to cleanse the arts world, as President Xi Jinping looks to tighten his grip over a huge and diverse cultural scene popular with China's youth.
Fangu, a grunge band from Beijing, which has toured across China, said it had hit an issue with its name, which translates literally as "anti-bone", though means something closer to "rebellious spirit".
"The relevant bodies do not allow the word 'anti' so we have to change the name temporarily," Qi Tian, an assistant to the band, told Reuters.
A report this month from a state university and circulated in official media, ranked Chinese stars in order of their social responsibility, including their moral conduct — underscoring an increasingly puritanical focus on good behavior.
The ongoing shake-up is also hitting China's burgeoning movie and entertainment industry hard. Share prices of related companies tanked after the government probe was announced and many are conducting self-checks on their tax situations.
"This is what the government needed to do," Dong said. "The government needed to guide the actors to be more focused on acting, not money making."


I'm planning a roadtrip from 2/21-2/24 to visit the Nebraska high point. Will the access road be open by then?
As far as I know, it is still closed. I'll see if there is an update.
Thank you- I'm flying into St. Louis, with plans to bag Missouri and Kansas, at least. Was going to Oklahoma in March- I might be able to drive north to Nebraska at that time…would be nice to run into any other highpointers during these trips.
I got an email from the rancher and he informed me the gate is open. The road in is in good shape.
OK- I'm headed over there this week! Landing in Amarillo, and headed north through the panhandle (Black Mesa), into Kimball (Panorama), then off to Custer Black (Black Elk). On the return, I plan to drop some books off at the Mount Sunflower Library.

Linux links of the week
Those of you who are interested in software licensing may want to have a look at The Software Market, by Jordan Pollack. This lengthy proposal calls for a new form of licensing, called "Permanent Use and Resell Licenses", or PURLs. They would be issued on a limited basis, and traded on the markets like securities.
Finally, this proposal works for the Open Source movement as well, which suffers from the fact that commercial software pays much better. Some see the OSS as a communist movement to deny creative people of the value of their labor and destroy the market for software. PURLS can be used as a solution to the joint tenancy problem for software. Imagine the next project after Linux, in which talented and hardworking volunteers receive (initially worthless) securities for their efforts...
The author can not be accused of having too deep an understanding of how free software is developed, but the idea is an interesting thought exercise anyway.

Two years ago this week, the Open Group held out the possibility that Linux might be awarded "Unix98" certification. It seems that Linux was starting to look competitive in the low-end server market, which the proprietary Unix vendors had already written off to NT. Very little has been heard about Unix98 certification since, however - now the Unix vendors are working on Linux compatibility.
Stable kernel 2.0.34 was released, as was development kernel 2.1.101. Cobalt Microserver (now Cobalt Networks) announced that it supports the open source development model. Ralph Nader sent Dell a note suggesting that some people want to buy computers without Windows installed. Gimp 1.0 was released - finally, as was GNOME 0.20.
ZDNet sounded off this week with this column by an author who admits at the beginning that he has never tried Linux:
Yes, the Linux camp, like a fat, speedy penguin, is making noise. However, some of the 25 letters I've gotten on Linux simply refer to it as a Windows alternative, not something they worship or even use. Still, it's easy to like the idea of it.... Linux has a snowball's chance in hell of making perceptible inroads against Windows.
One year ago this week saw the return of an old nasty proposed law called UCC2b under the new name "UCITA." UCITA continues to make the rounds at present, and it still threatens the rights of software users throughout the U.S.
The development kernel was 2.3.4; the stable kernel release remained at 2.2.9. Conectiva Linux announced its Spanish-language version. Linux-Mandrake 6.0 was released. Rasterman resigned from Red Hat after disagreements with his supervisor. ActiveState contracts with Microsoft to port Perl.
And News.com worried about the Linux IPOs which were just rumors at that point:
If a company such as VA or Red Hat went public and made a lot of money off Linux, "What does that mean for all those people who've done a lot of work and don't necessarily" make money out of it? Will they still want to contribute to Linux? "That's one of the issues we're struggling with," [VA Linux CEO Larry] Augustin said.

Subject: Free Software and Embedded Systems
I strongly agree that freedom is an issue with embedded systems,
particularly as those systems become "ubiquitous," and we have
little choice but to use them.  There are hazards ahead, though.
Certification requirements present a potential roadblock to the
distribution of free software with embedded systems.  This has
already become an issue for the ISDN drivers for Linux -- many
countries place restrictions on what can be connected to the public
telephone system.
In the past, when most device functionality was implemented in
hardware, it was simpler for implementations to be certified as legal,
safe, and interoperable.  Today we have software modems; soon we will
have software-controlled radio (see http://www.sdrforum.org/mmits.html).
How should the FCC classify a handheld communications device
that is capable of morphing into a transmitter or receiver across
a significant portion of the spectrum, or switching between various
signalling standards?  How will it enforce restrictions, such as the
the frequency range restrictions that were implemented in consumer-grade
frequency scanners to prevent eavesdropping on (analog) phone calls?
The issues of security, privacy, and reliability that the digital
revolution has forced us to address will soon touch the remote corners
of engineering.  Ironically, the adoption of software monocultures built
on standards (whether it is TCP/IP, Java, etc.) may increase
systemic risks in the short-run.  With freedom must come a heightened
sense of individual responsibility, as the digital world offers an
individual unprecedented leverage for achieving good or ill.
If we, the engineers and the coders, do not address these issues
adequately, the time will quickly arrive when the politicians,
lawyers, and bureaucrats address it for us.  I doubt we will be
happy with the outcome.

Subject: Embedded source code
In your editorial about access to the source code for embedded systems,
you failed to mention some of the problems with providing open access to
the code.
Some devices have design requirements and operating ranges that they
depend on software to enforce. If it is open source, what are the legal
issues? If someone changes the embedded code in a device and it causes a
fault, whom is at fault?
Do you really want someone hacking their car's engine control or ABS
system? These are embedded systems.
An embedded system isn't supposed to be a computer. It is supposed to be
a widget that performs a specialized task. The manufacturer of a DVD
player doesn't provide a complete schematic to the buyer, why should
they be expected to provide source code?

Subject: Possibilities for free CASE tools
Whilst the likes of Linus and other veterans of the linux coding camp
have done an impressive job with the tools at hand - gcc, gdb, vi, emacs
and so forth, I really do enjoy using CASE tools to develop software.
That is not to say that I don't enjoy sitting down with vi and hacking
up some raw code, but tools like UML (the object oriented modeling tool)
are very useful in visualising code in early stages. Some people are
fond of other tools, but UML is first on my wishlist.
The most popular UML modeling tool around is Rational's Rose. Whilst
certainly full of useful features, it is far from easily customisable,
and with a price tag of around $2500 it's not something a team of
hackers can use to share and distribute easily modifiable models.
There are a couple of Free alternatives for developing UML models. The
most popular would be the gtk based 'Dia'. Whilst great at diagrams, it
is lacking in a number of ways. The first and foremost is that it is a
diagramming tool, not an object modeling tool. The development team
don't seem focused on pushing development this way. Perhaps they
shouldn't, and continue making it a great diagramming program. This is
all well and good.
The only other product I've seen is ArgoUML. This Java based product is
actually quite good, being able to produce code from diagrams and vice
versa. However, as a Java tool it has many disadvantages. Rather than
list flaws in the platform itself, I'll simply make the point that one
has to install non-free software on one's computer in order to use the
program. This defies the point of having a free product in the first
place, in my opinion.
More to the point, linux developers are far more interested in making
their software interoperable with systems written in C++ than in Java.
Interoperability is one of the main requirements for any UML tool I'm
willing to use. This is the principle of linux development that really
appeals to me - I can tie in any number of components to make my life
easier as a programmer. Indeed, should the dia team create a module
simply for rendering UML diagrams to the screen, this would be quite a
reasonable component for any modeling tool, perhaps using components
from my tool, perhaps not.
What I'm saying here is that as we mature into a massive, distributed
development team, tools like UML and other CASE products we can conceive
of will be necessary for some kinds of systems development. No one would
argue against the usefulness of combining various tools to develop
software, and with free software interoperability is a cherished goal,
rather than something an industry has to have forced upon it by
customers unwilling to standardise on one vendor.
Big companies must spend millions of dollars on CASE tools. If they
would pool their resources they could begin development of free software
CASE tools for a fraction of that cost. It seems like a good investment
to me, anyway. I'd like to hear from companies and distributed internet
development teams on how we could get the ball rolling. Once it starts
it will beget it's own future.
Yours truely,
Oliver White

Subject: RE: Fatal Flaw in BSD
BSD License has a big loophole and we have witnessed the consequences for
as long as we can see. If BSD Unix was licensed under something like GPL,
it would have developed like it has always developed, even more so, because
the major modifications would not have gone proprietory. Sun would be a
hardware company. IBM would still be a service company. HP wouldn't have to
go into Software at all. The academic community would have had a voice when
we had those horrible GUI wars.  Linux would not have been required.  Of
course companies may not have used BSD at all instead they may have
preffered SVR4. But some companies (IBM ??) would have discovered the
benefits of software that is developed in an open environment. And the
conditions that we have today would have been then. Maybe Microsoft
wouldn't have developed Windows at all, and would have just done what it
does best ie making Software to run on whatever GUI unix had.
OK this is all surmises, but I expect the software world to have been a
much better place if only BSD was released under GPL. Just imagine that you
had a unix just when those microprocessor kits where coming out.

Clippings: Kitten's good fortune speaks volumes
When Josefina was two weeks old, she was abandoned in a dumpster.
Whether she was the product of a premature feline mother that couldn't handle the stress of kittens or she was the victim of callous owners, we will never know.
But had the garbage man at the corner of Hangzhou's Tianmushan and Moganshan roads not found her that same day, she and her two siblings would surely have perished in the late April snow.
For months my girlfriend, Mairead, had tried to convince me to adopt another kitten. We already had one in China and that was enough for me. I grew up with dogs and was only just getting used to our new feline friend Oscar.
When the garbage man found the three kittens in the dumpster, he took them to the nearby foreign language institute where Mairead taught English. Upon entering the school, two Japanese teachers jumped at the opportunity to raise kittens. They quickly snatched up the two healthier kittens, leaving Jose, the runt of the litter, in a box by herself.
When Mairead wrapped up her class and returned to the office, she found Jose in the box. Knowing that I didn't want another cat, she offered the kitten to a colleague whose wife immediately rejected the proposal.
With Jose having nowhere to go and Mairead unable to reach me, she brought home the dirty, shivering two-week-old kitten.
It was essentially Mairead's dream come true: saving the life of a pathetic baby animal in urgent need of help. Jose was so small and weak that Mairead had to assist her with bowel movements.
We bottle fed her into health and she began to grow and get stronger. She started playing with Oscar and eating solid food. Over the next seven months, not only did she turn into a strong and genial cat, but she also became our close companion.
When we decided in September of last year that we would return to the U.S. come winter, we also decided to bring back the cats. They had helped us through rough times in a very foreign place and we couldn't abandon them.
This was no easy task and getting a cat out of China is much more difficult than getting one into the U.S.
For one, the procedures for taking an animal out of China are opaque at best. To get the cats out would require jumping through dozens of bureaucratic hoops and spending exorbitant amounts of time, energy and patience. Additionally, we knew that we had to fly direct because neither Hong Kong, Taiwan nor Japan — which are frequent connecting routes back to the U.S. — would allow a cat from China into their country without first being subjected to a lengthy quarantine period.
For months we dealt with the necessary paperwork and got the cats their necessary shots. We became friendly with some of the animal exportation officials and went to meet the government vet.
Then, almost one month before we were set to leave and two days before heading to India for a three-week trip, Jose came down with a case of ringworm on her ear. This was a big problem because in order to leave China, the cats had to be in pristine conditions.
We put one of those plastic cones around her head so that she couldn't scratch her ear open and we began vigilantly applying anti-fungal cream. We resisted taking her back to the vet's office because we thought that she might have contracted the fungus from there, and we also didn't want to alert anyone of her condition.
We left Jose under the care of a close friend and left for India. Our friend persuaded us, saying, "It won't get better any faster if you're just sitting here."
While traveling we worried about the issue and Mairead was committed to staying in China for a month or two afterwards if Jose's ringworm didn't clear up.
Fortunately, when we returned her ear looked normal again.
During our final 10 days in China, we had to run a sprint through government procedures. For whatever bureaucratic reason, the bulk of what we had to do to get the cats back to the U.S. could only be done within a 10-day window of leaving.
On our first day back we went to the vet's office for a checkup and then headed to the exportation examiner in a building on the other side of the city. But when we arrived at the Hangzhou center for exportation, we discovered that the entire building was being renovated.
"The exportation offices have been moved to a building ten miles east of here," said a security guard.
With our cats held safely in their little mao bao or cat bags, we ran after a cab. Since it was close to rush hour we had to fight for a ride, and I'll never forget watching Mairead hip check a man twice her size as he reached for the passenger door.
We raced across the city and got to the offices just before they closed. The examiner inspected the cats and said that they both looked healthy. Over the next ten days, we made an additional three trips to the exportation offices.
Then, on the day that we left, we rode a bus 100 miles north to Shanghai's Pudong Airport with all of our belongings, the two cats and their necessary certificates. In the end we chose to fly United because they allowed us to take both of our cats on board for the 15-hour flight back to the states.
What I find most moving about Jose's story is not that she simply made it to the U.S. — although that too is a miracle — but that she went from lying helplessly several hours away from death, as a weak little kitten caught in the grasps of late winter, to living a healthy existance with two companions (we adopted Mairead's parents' cat) in beautiful Middlebury, Vermont.
If such a momentous change of fortune in one life can be brought on by the simple actions of a garbage man and two regular people, then what other small efforts might each of us make in our lives to help those in need, and what wondrous changes might then befall upon our world?

Controlling multiple freelance projects each time can end up being difficult and meticulous. It may need a freelancer to place extra efforts to fulfill delivery deadlines. Without needing good company skills and managing aptitude this is not possible to accomplish the career at pleasant pace and on time.
Just about every freelance task requires well timed delivery, while keeping quality on the work undamaged. It truly does not matter how many tasks you are handling, just how unique they can be coming from the other person and how tricky they are to do — accuracy, acceleration, impulsiveness and quality are the need to to consider elements for hiring managers. Therefore , time period supervision and goal setting becomes inescapable intended for every specific out upon job. Except if they will keep a structured and preplanned job behavior, designing productivity and increasing productivity in task is undoubtedly not really possible. Freelancers too own a public life and so they should hold work-life equilibrium. If you are new to freelance jobs market, it is crucial that you learn task control abilities very well. Reading away freelancer's success message, pursuing their very own tips and tips can be of great support. Consulting durham region authorities and immutable simply by site's tips and polices may also work magic. If you learn how to prioritize tasks primarily based on deadlines, importance and it is sensitivity, it is easier to maximize work several hours and improve efficiency. A similar keeps true when you have to perform the two – your individual work and freelance work assignments. Skilled professionals happen to be apt in project company and good results. They are great organizers and also artists.
Throughout this kind of article we will talk about a few essential stock advisory that will help plan multiple claringtion jobs on line.
It is usually important that you interview every single consumer completely and figure out their particular requirements, marks, guidelines and other necessary points. Become familiar with the mission facts, project deadlines, info of project coordinator at length.
When sign rise procedure for all tasks is complete, consider a notebook and jot down all task details on that. Have got a paper duplicate of everything you note. Keep separate folder for each with the projects and ingredients label all of them consequently. Utilizing a file display case meant for this would be extremely useful. You can easily label the folders simply because per their project names and then simply arranged them alphabetically to get easy access. Every time you possess new challenges in place, shop them in specific directory.
Make a note of the times for the purpose of all deadlines and group meetings in a counter appointments and a daily planner. You may also make use of desktop schedule or Ms outlook setting important milestones. Circle date ranges on the family table schedule and add a short description to this for rapid reminders. If you can possibly use outlook's calendar and notification system, it is definitely the very best. There will be job administration software obtainable in market that will help manage work starting from job scheduling, deadline administration to payment system and record maintenance.
Prepare records for each from the jobs you work on. It is vital that you details every of the actions things and comply with ups in it and thus keep a track of the entire progress.
Prioritize the projects and compile a listing of it on paper. Freelancers often need to work with rigorous deadlines, customer's specs, and regularly coverage. Extra the ordered way anybody can cope with multiple challenges, better the output and reputation virtual assistants can anticipate in lowest work.
Concentration on your own personal goals and employer's organization objectives. Combine each different and do the job together for any common objective. Write straight down a summary of patient's requirements and list down all the activities and products that you need to complete the job.
Method a timetable for every of the jobs and fix individual marks on daily, weekly and monthly most basic. Review the whole work you have to do in a day and devise cover next evening do the job. In case, there may be sudden change in project deadlines or quantity, keep a duplicate of the changes. You can track record it in daily advisor for long run reference. Planning small expectations each time and constantly focusing on this within a month gives you sigh of healing.
In the event you happen to be working on multiple jobs in a time, it is advisable to partition your work hours. Instead of taking up both at the same time, freelancers need to be dedicated to solitary project before rotating to a new.
Monthly and routinely report generation is as well absolutely essential. Many of the clients desire in depth record in work progress once in a week or two times in a month. They are simply thus detailed that you simply cannot consider nearly anything lower than they anticipate and you offers to deliver.
Become a member of public business media sites and talk to the customers timely. So you can discuss any job related matter to any kind of number of clientele whenever you wish. These kinds of websites are very good with regards to freelancers to discover every single other. Setting up networking relationship with numerous clients and then continuing frequent interactions with them could sure raise the speed and accuracy of the service. While keeping a program project posts and consumer feedbacks also becomes a lot easier when you sign up for a community-based platform.
As a result, simply by following the aforementioned guidelines freelancers can effectively manage all their projects and reputation internet. For even more information examine here idronetest.fuero.pl .
