In October 2019, Microsoft announced " Windows 10X", a future edition of Windows 10 designed exclusively for dual-touchscreen devices such as the then-upcoming Surface Neo. The operating system was considered to be a service, with new builds and updates to be released over time. Īt the 2015 Ignite conference, Microsoft employee Jerry Nixon stated that Windows 10 would be the "last version of Windows", a statement that Microsoft confirmed was "reflective" of its view. As of February 2022, 7.88% of Windows PCs run Windows 11. Upon its release, Windows 11 received positive reviews for its improved visual design, window management, and a stronger focus on security, but was criticized for regressions and modifications to aspects of its user interface. Windows 11 has received a mixed to positive reception pre-release coverage of the operating system focused on its stricter hardware requirements, with discussions over whether they were legitimately intended to improve the security of Windows or as a ploy to upsell users to newer devices, and over e-waste associated with the changes. Windows 11 removed support for 32-bit x86 CPUs and devices which use BIOS firmware. While the OS can be installed on unsupported processors, Microsoft does not guarantee the availability of updates. Microsoft only officially supports the operating system on devices using an eighth-generation Intel Core CPU or newer (with some minor exceptions), AMD Ryzen CPU based on Zen+ microarchitecture or newer, or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 ARM system-on-chip or newer, with UEFI secure boot and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 supported and enabled (although Microsoft may provide exceptions to the TPM 2.0 requirement for OEMs).

Microsoft also announced plans to allow more flexibility in software that can be distributed via Microsoft Store, and to support Android apps on Windows 11 (including a partnership with Amazon to make its app store available for the function).Ĭiting security considerations, the system requirements for Windows 11 were increased over Windows 10. Internet Explorer (IE) has been replaced by the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge as the default web browser like its predecessor, Windows 10, and Microsoft Teams is integrated into the Windows shell.

Windows 11 features major changes to the Windows shell influenced by the canceled Windows 10X, including a redesigned Start menu, the replacement of its "live tiles" with a separate "Widgets" panel on the taskbar, the ability to create tiled sets of windows that can be minimized and restored from the taskbar as a group, and new gaming technologies inherited from Xbox Series X and Series S such as Auto HDR and DirectStorage on compatible hardware.

Windows 11 was released to the public on October 5, 2021, as a free upgrade via Windows Update and Windows 11 Installation Assistant on eligible devices running Windows 10.

Here’s some good lgbt (again with a focus on lesbian books bc I’m a lesbian so if i dont say anything specific about it in the list assume its f/f) books I read this year Ver 2.0 this time on my book blog...Previous years post (x)

I actually read a lot of lesbian fiction this year, I will try to include only stuff that I absolutely loved and/or I don’t see talked about in these kind of lists! Also, if you want content warnings about any of the books dm me.

-The Crimson Empire Series by Alex Marshall: Okay this is the real reason I’m bothering to make this write up I’ll own up to it! It’s so GOOD. I think its the first really successful casual no misogyny/heteronormativity fantasy setting I read. Most stuff I read that tried this ends up just adding in some strong female character(tm) and a blink-and-you-missed-it mention of some side character being gay. But not here. Most of the main characters in this are women...and most of the cast is also lgbt. The man character is a bi woman who also happens to be a 60 year old badass and I love her. There are other characters that are bi lesbian or gay of varying importance (there are a million pov characters and some of them are spoilers so im being vague here). And also there are trans characters. I literally never seen trans characters in fantasy except in indie lgbt publications. AND beyond that its just such a good series, its incredibly fun. There is a lot of political intrigue and a lot of action and a lot of weird dark magic. It's also hilarious and made me laugh out loud multiple times which is very rare for books! Also, it’s a trilogy and it gets gayer each book. Like, the gay content is growing geometrically by the page count, trust me.

Rest under the cut!

-Last Words from Montmartre by Qiu Miaojin translated by Ari Larissa Heinrich this is very different and much more literary than the rest of the list. It’s a Taiwanese classic from what I understand, and it’s also the authors suicide note. I won’t pretend to understand this book, it’s written in letters which the author tells us can be read in any order. The author is a lesbian, and the story is said to be semi-autobiographic, but I can’t say this is lesbian fiction exactly. Not even who the narrator is is quite clear, as they seem to change gender from one letter to the next, sometimes being called by a different name. I don’t think I can do it justice in a few lines so I suggest if you’re interested you do your own research on it. It’s fascinating book, but it’s not something that everyone will enjoy, if enjoyment is even the right word for the experience of reading this book.

-When Women Were Warriors series by Catherine M Wilson: Okay I recommended it in the last years post but I read the last book this year and it was actually my favorite among the trilogy. And honestly , it deserves a second mention, it’s that good. It’s historical fantasy, magic exists but in a more mythical sense than throwing fireballs around (I’ve seen someone call it celtic fantasy, which might be more accurate). It follows the story of a young apprentice trying to become a warrior. There is a lesbian romance, but the overall plot is more about this apprentices coming of age, though the scale of the story expands widely as the books go on.

-Letters Never Sent by Sandra Moran. This is historical fiction very reminiscent of Sarah Waters, if you like her definitely check this out. It follows a young woman finding old letters of her death mother and learning about a side of her she never knew. It’s a dual perspective story with one for the daughter, and one for the mother in her youth. Both dealing with their own drama, though the focus is more on the mother. The story unravels slowly and though it’s not necessarily unpredictable it’s still a great read if you like historical fiction.

-Amatka by Karin Tidbeck this is a swedish dystopian sci-fi story where words quite literally shape reality, reminscent of classics like 1984, not necessarily in content but the general feeling it gives, I’m not sure whether it’t the themes or the writing but it feels more like an old book. And I mean that in the best way possible. The main character is a lesbian, she gets into a relationship during the story, but this is very much not a romance book, it’s more about the main character slowly questioning the world she is in, and asking too many questions. I highly reccomend this one if you’re a fan of sci-fi dystopians, or want to see an unique take on the genre in a world filled with hunger games rip offs. (I was a bit confused that I couldn’t find the translator of this book, until I realized the author translated it herself. Just an interesting tidbit!)

-Pegasi And Prefects Series by Eleanor Beresford: light board school books with just a little magic and lesbians. I found these short books to be surprisingly good and well written (sadly this is rare in lesbian fiction in my experience). The author described is as a slice of life harry potter which is pretty much it. Though there is some homophobia in these books, so be warned. The main story is concluded, and although the author teased more books in the setting there don’t seem to be updates in some time.

-The Mermaids Daughter by Ann Claycomb: This was a weird kind of melancholy book about a woman who only is relieved of her pain when she’s in the water. As were all her female predecessors, who all died young, by suicide. Her girlfriend delves into her family history in hopes to prevent her having the same fate. It’s a little mermaid retelling but that might be misleading, the main character is not the little mermaid, she’s her great great great grandaughter, or something like that. There is also the constant theme of Opera, which serves as a way to tell the story too, which sort of flew over my head. But it was still very much enjoyable.

Short Stories and Novella

Undertow by Jordan L. Hawk : So this is a f/f novella in a long running m/m series. I can’t speak for the main series but this novella was good for its length. The setting is lovecraftian, but not quite so dark. I originally picked this up because one of the reviewers were complaining the love interests, who is some sort of mermaid-esque sea creature, had shark teeth. She’s great by the way, and so are her teeth.

The Terracotta Bride by Zen Cho: This is a novella set in the Chinese afterlife. More specifically Malayan. The people in the afterlife receive money and items when living people burn things for them. The story explores the main character who is married to the richest man in afterlife life, and her relationship with her husbands second bride, who is not a human but a terracotta wife who her husbands relatives have burned for him.

The Cybernetic Tea Shop by Meredith Katz: A very simple straightforward story about an old model robot girl who owns a tea shop and a mechanic. It has a great atmosphere and I love the image of the old tea shop owned by a robot whos slowly breaking down.

The Ape’s Wife and Other Stories by Caitlín R. Kiernan: This is a collection of excellent weird fiction short stories. I have a book by her in all my recommendation posts by this point, and I hesitated before adding this. Not all stories feaure any lgbt content, but enough of them do that it’s not out of place in this list. Though all of the stories in it are fully worth reading. My personal favorite of this collection is Galapagos, a rather disturbing story about space.

#lgbt books #lesbian books #i also read a mm book but that one is super well known so i dont see a point in adding it #anyway i hope this gets as popular as the last one bc i need ppl to read crimson empire #my recs

Anticipated Books, January to April

New name. I’m leaning into this 3x5 conceit. Handy for both easy grids and little notes. I've been making adjustments here and there since the beginning of the year. Never mind that everything in the top row is now released. It’s not a race. They are listed in chronological order, from early January to late April.

The Winter of the Witch by Katherine Arden. I am about 3/4s of the way through a reread of The Bear and the Nightingale and I really appreciate the atmospheric setting. (8 January)

The Kingdom of Copper by S. A. Chakraborty. I'm currently re-listening to The City of Brass and the worldbuilding is just excellent. (22 January)

King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo. Forgive the caps lock: YES. I have been looking forward to this since it was announced. (29 January)

Here and Now and Then by Mike Chen. This follows a time traveler who was stranded in suburban San Francisco in the 1990s, has built a life, and must protect his family from forces that would "rescue" him and preserve the timeline. (29 January)

Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James. African-inspired epic fantasy with a touch of Rashomon? Count me in. (5 February)

The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo. This takes place in 1930s Malaysia, in which a young woman and a child cross paths. I don't want to know much more. I knew nothing of The Ghost Bride when I started it and was caught completely off guard in the best way. (12 February)

The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders. I checked out the sneak peek and this looks really intriguing. Hoping this won't be a repeat of All the Birds in the Sky for me in that it has a really good beginning and an underwhelming second half. (12 February)

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon. This one is a giant epic fantasy (weighing in at nearly 850 pages) which features "a world on the brink of war with dragons--and the women who must lead the fight to save it." Yes, please! (26 February)

Ancestral Night by Elizabeth Bear. Space opera is a genre that I tend to like more in theory than in practice, but this story of a salvager and her partner discovering something on the edge of the solar system sounds promising. (7 March)

The True Queen by Zen Cho. The only real disappointment I had with the charming Sorcerer to the Crown was the missed opportunity to explore the world outside of England. This one looks to rectify that with its heroines being a pair of sisters from Janda Baik who must travel to England after one of them starts to fade. (12 March)

The Bird King by G. Willow Wilson. Historical fantasy is my happy place. The Bird King takes place in al-Andalus during the reign of the last sultan. A mapmaker who can make maps of places he has never seen catches the eye of Inquisitors on the lookout for witchcraft and he goes on the run with a concubine named Fatima. (12 March)

A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. This one has been getting a lot of buzz. The new ambassador from a small mining colony suspects that her predecessor was murdered. She must figure out what happened and prevent the Teixcalaanli Empire from taking over the independent Station that she represents. (26 March)

The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling. Psychological power play in a science fiction setting. Gyre Price is a caver who falsified her records to get on a mining expedition for the money. She has a manipulative teammate, Em, who knows she's lying. Gyre cannot rely on anything in this dark and harrowing situation. (2 April)

Descendant of the Crane by Joan He. Chinese-inspired fantasy. Hesina's father is murdered, elevating her to Queen of Yan. She consults a soothsayer, despite magic being outlawed, and teams up with a criminal to navigate court and take control of her kingdom. (2 April)

Lady Hotspur by Tessa Gratton. Genderbent adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry IV. I missed The Queens of Innis Lear last year. Looking forward to picking both of these up. (30 April)

How Tim Cook Made Apple His Own

After Steve Jobs’s death, Silicon Valley anticipated

Apple Inc.’s

AAPL -2.27%

company would fail. Wall Street fretted about the roadway ahead. And loyal consumers agonized about the future of a cherished item innovator.

Today, Apple shares are at record highs. The company’s market valuation is $1.9 trillion– bigger than the GDP of Canada, Russia or Spain. And Apple, now the world’s biggest company, continues to control the smartphone market.

It is a testimony to how a commercial engineer– a man Bono called the Zen master– has actually turned Steve Jobs’s development into Tim Cook’s Apple, delivering one of the most rewarding service successions in history through a triumph of technique over magic.

Where Mr. Jobs orchestrated terrific leaps of innovation, normally specified by new items capable of upending industries, Mr. Cook has made Apple more reflective of himself. The 59- year-old CEO, like the company he leads, bewares, collective and tactical.

Tim Cook, left, and Steve Jobs, right, at a meeting at Apple in Cupertino, Calif., in2010 Mr. Cook took over as CEO in August,2011

. Image:. Paul Sakuma/ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Mr. Cook’s Apple, numerous former senior Apple executives say, is a business colossus pursuing development by developing an empire of product or services around his predecessor’s revolutionary developments. Its success in charming clients in China has assisted sales skyrocket while its drive for effectiveness has kept costs under control.

Shifts from dominant leader to follower are hardly ever effective.

Microsoft Corp.

stumbled when Costs Gates ceded the reins and.

General Electric Co.

sank after Jack Welch passed the baton.

“ Rewind the clock to October 2011, and people were like, ‘It’s all over,’ ” said Mike Slade, a long time advisor to Steve Jobs and previous member of Apple’s executive group.

Apple, under Mr. Cook, has actually joined but not defined the reinvention of the smart home, tv and vehicle industries. And yet, the company has actually grown.

Since he started running the company in 2011, the year Mr. Jobs died, Apple’s income and earnings have more than doubled, and Apple’s market price has skyrocketed from $348 billion to $1.9 trillion. The company has $81 billion in money, excluding debt, and has returned $4755 billion to shareholders.

The business’s earnings report last week sent out shares up more than 10%in a single day.

After coming out publicly as gay in 2014, Mr. Cook has enhanced the company’s advocacy of personal privacy, sustainability and human rights. Those stances have opened Apple to criticism that the company doesn’t always measure up to its values, particularly in China, where it has ceded operations over the information centers storing consumer details to a Chinese state-owned company, bowed to federal government pressure to get rid of apps tied to Hong Kong protests and dealt with a provider that the U.S. government states used required labor of Uighurs, an ethnic minority group.

The company has actually protected its practices, stating it follows the laws in the nations where it operates. In China, Apple states it maintains control over sensitive encryption keys that secure user data and has found no evidence of forced labor in factories making its products.

Apple’s dependence on China also has tense financiers and thrust the company into the middle of intensifying tensions between Beijing and the White Home.

Recently, in congressional statement along with other leaders of giant innovation business, Mr. Cook said that he is “personally devoted” to improving the number of ladies and Black leaders in Apple’s senior ranks. Throughout those hearings, he likewise defended the business’s treatment of app designers, who have grumbled about Apple’s market power.

Mr. Jobs, who mainly rebuffed succession planning, tapped Mr. Cook to prosper him in part because, as Apple’s operations chief, he ran a division without drama and focused on partnership, individuals who were close to Mr. Jobs said. His climb surprised some outsiders due to the fact that– as Mr. Jobs informed biographer Walter Isaacson– Mr. Cook wasn’t a “item individual,” however associates understood the choice. Apple required a new operating design after losing someone irreplaceable.

Mr. Cook was a relative complete stranger to the innovative undertakings preferred by Mr. Jobs, and after the Apple founder’s death, he did little to alter that. Instead, he concentrated on a series of little actions that together are constructing a fortress around the iPhone: a smartwatch, AirPods and music, videos and other membership services.

” This is what most individuals don’t understand: Incremental is revolutionary for Apple,” said Chris Deaver, who invested four years in human resources working with Apple’s research and development teams.

From when he took over in 2011, Mr. Cook followed the guidance of his predecessor: Don’t ask what I would do. He seldom went to Apple’s design studio, a location Mr. Jobs checked out practically daily.

” I understood what I required to do was not to imitate him,” Mr. Cook told ESPN of Mr. Jobs during a 2017 go to at his alma mater, Auburn University in Alabama.

Mr. Cook is described by colleagues and associates as a modest workaholic with a particular dedication to Apple. Long time coworkers hardly ever fraternized him, and assistants stated he kept his calendar clear of personal occasions.

Around Thanksgiving 2 years back, guests saw him dining by himself at the secluded Amangiri Hotel near Zion National Park. When a visitor later on bumped into him, he said he pertained to the hotel to recharge after a busy fall punctuated by the rollout of Apple’s most current iPhone. “They have the very best masseuses worldwide here,” he said, the guest remembers.

Apple declined to make Mr. Cook or any of its executives available. Rather, the business assisted arrange calls with four people it stated might speak to areas of importance to Mr. Cook such as environmentalism, education and health.

Though present and former staff members state Mr. Cook has developed a more relaxed workplace than Mr. Jobs, he has been likewise demanding and detail oriented. “We’re losing our commitment to quality,” Mr. Cook stated, this person recalls.

Mr. Cook’s command of detail triggers servants to enter meetings with uneasiness. He leads through interrogation, with a precision that has reshaped how Apple staff work and believe.

It drives a level of detail so everybody becomes Cook-like,” said Joe O’Sullivan, a former Apple operations executive. He stated Mr. Cook’s first conference with personnel the day he arrived in 1998 lasted 11 hours.

Middle managers today screen personnel before conferences with Mr. Cook to make sure they’re well-informed. You do not squander his time,” stated a longtime lieutenant.

In late 2012, Mr. Cook was absent when Apple’s senior leadership gathered at the St. Regis hotel in San Francisco to review an early model of the Apple Watch, its first brand-new product after Mr. Jobs, according to individuals in attendance.

Such a lack from a brand-new product conversation would have been unimaginable for Mr. Jobs, associates say. But as Apple continued to rake in record earnings, Mr. Cook started to turn his focus toward financiers who wanted to know what he would finish with an ever-growing pile of money.

Wall Street financiers consisting of Carl Icahn wanted Apple to return capital to investors. In 2013, Mr. Cook surprised consultants by accepting meet Mr. Icahn for supper at the corporate raider’s New York City house.

Mr. Jobs had not believed in returning money to shareholders, believing it was better to reinvest Apple’s money in building items. Mr. Cook was less dogmatic. He sat with Mr. Icahn throughout a three-hour meal, which culminated with sugar cookies shaped like Apple’s business logo design.

” I got the feeling that he would not mind me being there,” pressuring Apple to return more money to investors, said Mr. Icahn, a devoted poker gamer.

The company later on added $30 billion in buybacks, an amount that increased yearly to total $3607 billion in repurchases over eight years. The capital returns assisted attract other investors, consisting of.

Mr. Cook widened Apple’s required towards social causes. Among his primary steps as president was to introduce a corporate match program for charitable gifts, leading the way to direct contributions by Apple to the Anti-Defamation League and others.

In 2014, Mr. Cook met individually with Apple’s top executives and told them he was gay, previous associates stated. Apple was on stable footing at the time, with sales soaring of the just recently launched iPhone 6.

Associates state it was classic Tim Cook, an example of conscience balanced by a methodical awareness of advantages and disadvantages. Mr. Cook stated he ultimately wanted to be a role model for youths being bullied or fretted their households would them.

” I kept to my small circle, and I started thinking, ‘You understand, that is a selfish thing to do at this moment,’ ” Mr. Cook said during an interview with CNN in2018 “I need to be bigger than that, I need to do something for them and reveal them that you can be gay and still go on and do some huge jobs in life.”

Mr. Cook improved Apple’s board, replacing item- and marketing-minded directors with finance-oriented ones.

Without Mr. Jobs as item conductor, Mr. Cook has called on software application, hardware and design executives to work together, individuals familiar with the shift stated. The approach has actually shown his tendency to ponder and take care, letting ideas develop with less oversight than Mr. Jobs applied.

When hardware chief Dan Riccio was checking out the idea of a clever speaker around 2015, Mr. Cook peppered him with concerns about the product and requested more information, said Mr. Deaver, the former human-resources executive, who said he was briefed on the exchange.

Mr. Riccio’s group scaled back dealing with it, Mr. Deaver said. Later On, Mr. Cook emailed Mr. Riccio about.

Amazon.com Inc.’s

Echo speaker and asked where Apple based on its speaker effort.

Mr. Riccio’s team increase work. Apple’s resulting HomePod speaker routed competitors to market by about two years and has had a hard time to capture up, accounting for 5 million of the 76 million active clever speakers in the U.S. since in 2015, according to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners.

” Here’s Dan, who was utilized to getting firm instructions, so if it seems like a yellow light, then it looks like a traffic signal,” said Mr. Deaver, who said he spearheaded a job to enhance internal collaboration. “Then you have Tim, who is a processor. He likes to listen a lot. Time and persistence are his favorite warriors.”

SHARE YOUR IDEAS

What do you think of Tim Cook’s leadership of Apple? Join the discussion listed below.

Mr. Riccio didn’t react to ask for remark.

Mr. Cook tends to assess new product concepts with care, taking the position in some conversations that he doesn’t wish to launch an item that might offer inadequately and undermine the company’s track record of success, according to senior engineers.

” Apple appears to be striking on all cylinders, however beyond the hardware team attaining brand-new efficiency gains, there’s a stagnation and incrementalism,” said John Burkey, a former Apple software engineer and founder of Brighten.ai, a virtual-assistant company. He included that Apple’s strong hang on consumers who continue to purchase new iPhones masks weaknesses and produces a danger that they may miss the next advancement in technology. “Ask yourself what function of the iPhone you utilize that you weren’t using 5 years back? Do you really utilize Animoji?”

Instead of brand-new stand-alone gadgets, Mr. Cook has discovered success building items around the iPhone, with a watch, headphones and music- and TV-subscription services.

The items interrupted markets, with the watch out-selling the entire Swiss watch market in system sales and AirPods accounting for nearly half of all earphones sold global at the end of 2019, according to Counterpoint Research. Their combined income in the 2019 fiscal year of $245 billion was less than Apple’s peak yearly sales for the iPad of $32 billion, Mr. Jobs’s last item.

Mr. Cook questioned Hollywood manufacturers such as Brian Grazer to get more information about the home entertainment company before authorizing a $1 billion budget for a streaming-TV service, people knowledgeable about the meetings stated.

The initial services have dealt with criticism. Apple Music was revamped after its very first year, while Apple TELEVISION faced criticism that it released with just nine shows, an attack it has addressed by including movies such as the Tom Hanks The second world war movie “Greyhound.”

Mr. Cook isn’t rattled, previous members of the services team said, determining that over time, Apple will gain customers.

Even as he has handed over some product-development duties, Mr. Cook has actually stepped in more straight on political issues, browsing stress between the U.S. and China.

Mr. Cook first opened the China market to Apple by shifting production to factories there around2000 He leaned on that production presence– and the more than 3 million Chinese employees in Apple’s supply chain– to expand sales, signing a 2014 agreement with.

China Mobile Ltd.

that widened iPhone distribution to 700 million brand-new users. The deal helped turn China into Apple’s second-largest market.

In the U.S., Mr. Cook faced potential tariffs on imports of devices made in China– a risk that might activate retaliation by China. He looked for to protect Apple by giving both sides what they desired.

Speaking at a Chinese financial forum in 2018 after the Trump administration proposed tariffs, he championed free trade, saying countries that support it “do incredibly.”

The administration exempted Apple’s smartwatch from an early round of tariffs.

In 2019, after The Wall Street Journal reported Apple planned to move production of its only U.S.-made item, the Mac Pro, to China, Mr. Cook relocated to protect tariff waivers and continue production in Austin, Texas. He later on hosted Mr. Trump for an interview at the Texas factory where the president took credit for the plant– a claim Mr. Cook, who has actually slammed the president on ecological and immigration concerns, didn’t fix even though Apple had actually been manufacturing in Austin because 2013.

Mr. Trump has actually called Mr. Cook a buddy, and in one televised meeting, called him “Tim Apple.” As the recommendation gathered steam on social media, Mr. Cook turned it into a joke, altering his name on Twitter to Tim, followed by an image of the Apple logo.

At the Golden Globes in January, Mr. Cook went to along with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon of Apple’s initial program, “The Early morning Show.” He steeled himself as host Ricky Gervais joked that Apple had actually signed up with “the TELEVISION video game with an excellent drama about the importance of self-respect and doing the right thing, made by a company that runs sweatshops in China.”

The joke highlighted the disconnect between the Apple Mr. Cook has actually promoted– a force for good in the world– and the Apple some critics see– a corporation focused on maximizing profits. Mr. Cook has pressed supply-chain audits to get rid of kid labor and promoted higher-education courses at Chinese factories.

Mr. Cook is at ease when he returns to Auburn, his alma mater, university authorities say. He keeps a low profile, frequently going to without informing administrators. He can be seen at a coffee bar in town, working and talking with trainees. He goes to football video games, often organizing his own tickets.

Auburn President Jay Gogue stated Mr. Cook has spoken about Colin Powell’s belief that management is tasked with moving an army from point to point, while leadership moves an army to where it never thought possible.

” There are times to be an excellent manager and times to be a good leader,” Dr. Gogue stated. “He comprehends that.”

Nature China and Vatican Reach Breakthrough on Appointment of Bishops

ROME — The Vatican said Saturday that it had reached a provisional deal with the Chinese government to end a decades-old power struggle over the authority to appoint bishops in China. It was the Communist country’s first formal recognition of the pope as leader of the Roman Catholic Church in the world’s most populous nation, Vatican officials said.

Under the breakthrough, Pope Francis recognized the legitimacy of seven bishops appointed by the Chinese government. Because they had not been selected by the Vatican, they had previously been excommunicated.

The deal was in keeping with pope’s outreach to parts of the world where he hopes to increase the church’s presence and spread its message. It gives the church greater access to a huge population where the growth of Protestantism is far outpacing Catholicism.

But for critics loath to share any of the church’s authority with an authoritarian government, the deal marked a shameful retreat and the setting of a dangerous precedent for future relations with other countries.

The deal comes at a time when the pope is under enormous scrutiny for his church’s handling of clerical sex abuse, one of several issues that conservative forces within the church have seized on to weaken Francis. The deal with China, which they deeply opposed, is likely to fuel that discontent.

Pope Francis has for years talked about his desire to visit China, where Roman Catholicism has steadily lost ground in the face of intensifying crackdowns and surveillance on religious groups under President Xi Jinping. Protestants, whose faith is spreading fast around the country, have largely eclipsed the percentage in China of Catholics, who number about 10 to 12 million.

For decades, many Chinese Catholics have risked arrest and persecution by worshiping in underground churches led by bishops appointed secretly by popes, while China’s Communist government has erected a parallel structure: a state-sanctioned, state-controlled Catholic church. For years, dating back three papacies, the Vatican has sought to unify the two communities.

Traveling with the pope in Vilnius, Lithuania, a Vatican spokesman, Greg Burke, told reporters that the aim of the accord is “allowing the faithful to have bishops who are in communion with Rome but at the same time recognized by Chinese authorities.”

Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s secretary of state, said that the pope had committed “to make concrete fraternal gestures of reconciliation,” and suggested that the truce would leave the church better able to function in China.

Each side had claimed an absolute right to choose bishops and control the church in China.

The Vatican’s initial statements did not release many details of the accord. But for months, the two sides were discussing a resolution under which the Vatican would formally acknowledge the government-sanctioned bishops while the pope would retain the right to approve future appointments.

Reached in Beijing, Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli, a lead negotiator for the Vatican, said the agreement provided for “the intervention of the Holy Father for sure” in the selection of bishops. But when pressed, he would not say whether that meant a papal veto over appointments made by the Chinese government. He said only that “the Holy Father gets to say something about the appointment of bishops.”

The Vatican took a step in January in its efforts to unify the two Catholic communities in China, asking two underground bishops to step aside in favor of government-appointed bishops. One of the two was a member of the National People’s Congress, China’s parliament. The state-sanctioned bishops who took the places of the two underground bishops were among the seven the Vatican formally accepted on Saturday.

It was not clear what would become of more than 30 underground bishops working in China who were chosen by the pope but not recognized by the Chinese government.

The church’s move toward rapprochement with China has run into resistance from clerics and parishioners who have worried about forfeiting the independence they have asserted — often at great cost — by defying the government.

“What are they going to do about the underground bishops not recognized by China?” the Rev. Bernardo Cervellera, a member of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions and the editor of Asianews.it, said in an interview. “Or those that are in jail, or those who don’t want to belong to the patriotic church, what will happen to them?”

Father Cervellera noted that the Holy See press office had underlined the fact the accord was provisional, and “more like a promise” that they would find a long-term solution.

“What’s important is the re-establishment of communion between the two churches,” said Alberto Melloni, director of the Foundation for Religious Sciences “Giovanni XXIII” in Bologna. “The pope has brought home the greatest diplomatic success” in recent church history. He argued that the deal empowered the Vatican as a voice on the international scene.

But members of the Catholic community in China and Rome have urged the pope not to sacrifice the two underground bishops loyal to the pope in the dioceses of Shantou and Mindong, who have endured years of hardship.

Critics of the deal, including a prominent cardinal in Hong Kong, have argued that it would send a signal that the Vatican did not stand up for those who stood up for it.

Msgr. Antoine Camilleri, under secretary for the Holy See’s Relations with States, met Saturday with H.E. Wang Chao, deputy minister for foreign affairs of the People’s Republic of China, and signed the provisional agreement, which foresees “periodic reviews of its application.”

The deal, which has several times seemed on the brink of fruition only to collapse, comes after negotiation teams met in Rome in June, when the Vatican apparently assured the Chinese that the pope would lift the excommunications of the government-appointed bishops.

When the deal seemed imminent in February, the retired archbishop of Hong Kong, Cardinal Joseph Zen, excoriated a potential reconciliation as putting Chinese Catholics in a Communist-controlled “cage” and accused the Vatican of “selling out” those followers.

“A church enslaved by the government is no real Catholic Church,” he said.

He also reported at the time that the Vatican had asked one of the underground bishops to step aside to make way for one authorized by the Communist government. The Vatican had by then had already received an official request from the Chinese to recognize the seven state-authorized Chinese bishops whom the Vatican had considered illegitimate.

Catholic Jesuits, an order to which Francis belongs, arrived in China in the 16th century.

After winning China’s civil war in 1949, the Communist Party took over all organized religion and came down especially hard on Catholics. The Vatican and China broke off diplomatic relations in 1951.

In 1957, China established the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association to oversee Catholic churches. But the Vatican, despite some recognition of the authority of its priests to administer sacraments, had not fully recognized it.

In striking the deal, Pope Francis succeeded where his predecessors, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II failed. But he also built on their steps toward reconciliation.

In 2007, Pope Benedict recognized the celebration of sacraments inside the state’s official churches, and selected Cardinal Parolin, a senior diplomat, to guide the negotiations with China. When Pope Francis selected Cardinal Parolin as his secretary of state, it was largely seen as a sign that he had moved a deal with China up the priority list.

In 2014, as the pope made positive sounds about China and Archbishop Celli sought to reopen talks, China allowed the pope to fly over its airspace on his way to South Korea.

Critics of an agreement with China are rife within the church, but also as far afield as the United States, where it has been harshly criticized by Senator Marco Rubio of Florida. They have argued that the pope risked setting a terrible precedent by folding to an authoritarian power with a shameful record of human rights abuses and persecution of religious groups.

But the church has been making concessions to secular powers since before Pope Leo III crowned the Frankish king, Charlemagne in the year 800. In the 16th century, the pope gave a French king the right to appoint major clerics and Pope Pius VII signed a similar agreement with Napoleon in the 19th century.

The Vatican accepted limitations to operate under Communist governments such as Vietnam’s. Mr. Melloni also recalled the church’s Ostpolitik, in which it dealt with communist regimes in Europe’s east during the Cold War.

“The strategy of the Holy See,” he said, “has always been to negotiate.”
