Wendell Berry in the path of modernity
© Mills Brown
Wendell Berry: Essays 1969-1990, ed. Jack Shoemaker, Library of America, 841 pp., $37.50.
An antimodernist is someone who stands in the path of progress and yells "Stop!" Of course different antimodernists want to stop different things. The first antimodernists, the Luddites of early nineteenth-century England, wanted to stop power looms from replacing (and thereby starving) weavers, to the considerable profit of textile industrialists. John Ruskin and William Morris in late nineteenth-century England wanted to stop the comely landscapes and buildings of the English countryside from being razed to make way for cheap and ugly but profitable new construction, both commercial and residential. William F. Buckley Jr., who coined the phrase about standing "athwart history, yelling Stop," wanted to stop democracy, racial and sexual equality, and pretty much everything else humane and good, but above all, progressive taxation. (He was rich.) Ivan Illich wanted to stop expertise, which he thought had trapped modern men and women in universal dependence. Christopher Lasch wanted to stop mass society, which he showed, with a wide-ranging critique spanning history, sociology, and psychoanalysis, produces people who are less able to resist authority than those who grow up in a human-scale, largely face-to-face society.
What is Berry angry about? In 1950 there were more than twenty million farms in the United States. Today there are about two million.
Wendell Berry is probably the best-known and most influential antimodernist alive today, at least in the English-speaking world. Besides being a prolific essayist, novelist, story writer, and poet, Berry is a farmer in the Kentucky River Valley, an experience that has provided him with his material, his message, and his pulpit. He did not come to farming in midlife, as a novelty or a pastoral retreat. He grew up where he now farms, and his family has been farming in the area for many generations. Farming is the deepest layer of his mind; writing—learned at the University of Kentucky and then at Stanford in a famous seminar with Wallace Stegner—is the upper layer. That upper layer itself is divided: the fiction (a selection was issued last year by the Library of America) and poetry are slow-moving and deep-gauged, beautifully observed and full of interior incident, never loud or didactic. The essays, by contrast, though full of elegantly phrased and powerfully rhythmic sentences, are intensely earnest, aiming not to entertain or even to instruct but to convince and move. It's been a feat, writing eight or so novels, several books of stories, several more of poems, and hundreds of lengthy essays and occasional pieces, all while managing a 117-acre farm, with only his wife and (occasionally) his children to help him. It's an equal feat, traversing registers: the droll, meditative equanimity of his fiction, and the ardor, sometimes anger, of his nonfiction.
What is Berry angry about? In 1950 there were more than twenty million farms in the United States. Today there are about two million. What forced those millions of farmers and their families off their land was a "free-market" pincer movement. Many farm communities had lost young men to World War II, and they could not immediately go back to traditional, labor-intensive, self-sufficient farming. The federal government stepped in, aggressively promoting radical consolidation, mechanization, and specialization in one or two crops. Giant trading companies bought the farmers' crops cheap and sold them dear. Giant chemical companies, with the help of university schools of agriculture, sold them fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides, which the new monocultures required, unlike the traditional diversified and rotated crops. The banks did their part: they were uninterested in extending credit to small traditional farms, preferring to finance purchases of distressed farms and of shiny new tractors, pickers, and combines. By the 1970s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture declared victory, boasting that only 5 percent of America's labor force fed the other 95 percent, with a surplus left over for export and humanitarian food aid. Berry sees it differently: "What we have called agricultural progress has, in fact, involved the forcible displacement of millions of people."
The industrialization of agriculture did not merely uproot lives, bad as that was. It went far toward destroying the land itself. Topsoil is a complex substance, home to thousands of microscopic organisms. It is a fragile balance of elements and requires steady attention from an experienced eye. When it is doused with heavy chemicals and repeatedly plowed, it dries up and blows away. Billions of tons of topsoil have washed or blown away under the regime of industrial agriculture.
Along with the soil, a culture has been washed away: the culture of agrarianism. A society whose main products are a few crops grown in enormous quantities on huge farms and estates and then exported—this may be an agricultural society, but it is not an agrarian one. In an agrarian society, farming is an art and a discipline. The soil, the watercourses, the animals are treated with care— what Berry calls "kindly use"—and preserved from one generation to another, rather than as "inputs" to be depreciated according to a commercial schedule. A farm is full of idiosyncrasies, over which an industrial farmer will ride roughshod but which a genuine farmer will take the time to learn. For this reason, farms in agrarian societies tend to be of middling size—giantism is alien. In an agrarian society, farming is a kind of self-expression, with more of the craft spirit than the business spirit. Though independent and conscientious farmers are becoming rarer, Berry finds enough of them to compose a kind of master class illustrating the good farming practices he's constantly preaching.
Every culture shapes a corresponding character. The industrial farmer tends to be calculating, single-minded, forward-looking (anxiously as much as providently), unsentimental, given to uniformity and routine. He accepts that he's a cog in a machine, dependent on impersonal market forces. He assumes that bigger is better and that all problems have technical solutions. He's a manager; his skills and attitudes are as relevant to making widgets as to growing crops.
In an agrarian culture, by contrast:
A competent farmer is his own boss. He has learned the disciplines necessary to go ahead on his own, as required by economic obligation, loyalty to his place, pride in his work. His workdays require the use of long experience and practiced judgment, for the failures of which he knows he will suffer. His days do not begin and end by rule, but in response to necessity, interest, and obligation. They are not measured by the clock, but by the task and his endurance; they last as long as necessary or as long as he can work. He has mastered intricate formal patterns in ordering his work within the overlapping cycles—human and natural, controllable and uncontrollable—of the life of a farm.
Importantly, their socialization is also different. The commercial farmer usually takes an agricultural extension course or two, emerging with a couple of loose-leaf binders and a few phone numbers at the Ag faculty and the Farm Bureau. The agrarian farmer does not scorn academic instruction, but his deepest orientation toward farming "does not come from technique or technology. . . . It does not come even from principle." Instead it comes, mysteriously, "from a passion that is culturally prepared—a passion for excellence and order that is handed down to young people by older people whom they respect and love." This sort of face-to-face induction into a complex tradition is an example of the wisdom of human scale—one of Berry's obsessions.
The Unsettling of America (1977), from which I've been quoting and which is included whole in these Library of America volumes, is Berry's most ambitious and influential book, tracing the dire society-wide consequences of the decline of agriculture. It's been a long decline. In 1785 Thomas Jefferson, the tutelary genius of Unsettling, wrote to another Founding Father, John Jay: "Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests, by the most lasting bonds." Ten years later he advocated education for farmers, "so much as may enable them to read and understand what is going on in the world, and to keep their part of it going on right, for nothing can keep it right but their own vigilant and distrustful superintendence." That last, embattled phrase presages the long history of agriculture's undermining by commerce and finance. Perhaps Jefferson already had an inkling of Alexander Hamilton's schemes to introduce capitalism into the fledgling United States. He had probably also drawn the right conclusions from the crushing by the propertied faction (with the hearty approval of Washington, Adams, Hamilton, and other grandees) of protests by indebted small farmers, such as Shays's Rebellion.
The Populist Moment
The link between smallholding and American democracy lasted for a century or so. In 1820 around 80 percent of Americans were self-employed as farmers, craftsmen, or shopkeepers. Lincoln gave that ethos moving expression in a well-known passage: "The prudent, penniless beginner in the world labors for wages awhile, saves a surplus with which to buy tools or land for himself, then labors on his own account another while, and at length hires another new beginner to help him." But after the Civil War, just as they had after the Revolutionary War, financial and mercantile vultures preyed on distressed farmers, driving them into debt and into highly disadvantageous marketing arrangements.
The result was the late nineteenth-century Populist movement, the high point of radical democratic politics in American history. A mass movement of farmers, the Populists won many state offices in the South and Midwest, but they allowed themselves to be absorbed into the Democratic Party. They were decisively defeated by the Republicans, already the party of big business (and of industrial-scale graft), in the election of 1896 and subsequently faded away. Curiously, Berry has nothing to say about the Populist movement, even though it was the first and only organized entrance by farmers onto the national political stage.
Perhaps it's not so curious. Berry's is a politics of individual virtue. Personal responsibility is his watchword, rather than solidarity. Here are his thoughts on political strategy:
For most of the history of this country our motto, implied or spoken, has been Think Big. A better motto, and an essential one now, is Think Little. That implies the necessary change of thinking and feeling, and suggests the necessary work. Thinking Big has led us to the two biggest and cheapest political dodges of our time: plan-making and law-making. The lotus-eaters of this era are in Washington D.C., Thinking Big. Somebody perceives a problem, and somebody in the government comes up with a plan or a law. The result, mostly, has been the persistence of the problem, and the enlargement and enrichment of the government.
But the discipline of thought is not generalization; it is detail, and it is personal behavior. While the government is "studying" and funding and organizing its Big Thoughts, nothing is being done. But the citizen who is willing to Think Little, and accepting the discipline of that, to go ahead on his own, is already solving the problem.
This is splendid prose. It is disastrous advice. Leave aside the implicit belittling of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment insurance, and other examples of "plan-making" and "law-making" that tens of millions of Americans have felt very grateful for. Look to the present balance of forces: the structures of legislative, electoral, ideological, and financial control in the United States are deeply entrenched, highly resistant to citizen initiative, and virtually without exception geared to the needs of the country's largest industries and banks. Nothing those plutocrats do not wish to be done will be done in America, even if a hundred million Little Thinkers "go ahead on their own." Only if that hundred million organize themselves and coordinate their efforts—in other words, become Big Thinkers—is there the slightest hope for wresting control of our country from this corporate/financial oligarchy. Berry himself has been an exemplary activist in his day, especially in opposing the strip mining that has disfigured much of his lovely region. Unfortunately, the coal industry out-strategized the activists—not to mention deploying vastly greater financial resources. But would any degree of uncoordinated private individual virtue have had better luck stopping them?
A society whose main products are a few crops grown in enormous quantities on huge farms and estates and then exported: this may be an agricultural society, but it is not an agrarian one.
No amount of recycling, farming right, eating right, being neighborly, or being personally responsible in other ways will matter much if we don't subsidize solar and wind power, raise mileage requirements, steeply tax carbon, drastically reduce plastic production, kill coal, and provide jobs for all those whom these measures would disemploy. (We could put them to work on infrastructure and renewables, which we would invest in with the proceeds of steep wealth and corporate—especially energy—taxes.) In a face-to-face society, virtue is the right lever. Unfortunately, we live in a mass society, thoroughly bureaucratized and institutionalized, dense with complex systems, which only large aggregations of people (or money) can move. We need more, not fewer, plans, laws, and policies, but democratically formulated ones.
Berry has almost (not quite; he hedges) given up on the possibility of democracy in mass society. It is an entirely understandable reflex: virtually every governmental institution in our society is corrupt or ineffectual, and even many well-meaning people have been infected by consumerism, overreliance on experts, and other character defects of a massified, technologized population. But cultivating our own gardens and learning the virtues we have forgotten will not suffice to save the world, and is probably not even feasible. Surveying the erosion in some nearby farms, Berry laments that it takes fifty thousand years to build five feet of topsoil. While building character is probably not quite so slow, it will surely take a few generations at least. But within a few generations, our gardens will be inundated, some literally by water and others by the tens of millions of climate refugees crisscrossing the earth by the end of the century.
Berry is very good at reminding us what we have sacrificed by embracing modernity. One such sacrifice is a sense of place.
"If we are to hope to correct our abuses of each other and of other races and of our land, and if our effort to correct these abuses is to be more than a political fad that will in the long run be only another form of abuse, then we are going to have to go far beyond public protest and political action. We are going to have to rebuild the substance and the integrity of private life in this country." This may sound obviously right, but in fact it's wrong, at least in implication. We only have so much time and energy, after all, and if we go "far beyond" political action, we will almost certainly shortchange it. Berry's prescription underestimates the opposition—they really have closed off every path to change except the most difficult one: sustained, society-wide, decentralized popular mobilization. For all Berry's humane rootedness, and however attractive the way of life he expounds, public men and women—Ralph Nader, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Greta Thunberg—are better models right now for those who want to spare the earth and its inhabitants.
Like most antimodernists, Berry is very good at reminding us what we have sacrificed by embracing modernity. One such sacrifice is a sense of place. Only a few generations ago, a sizeable fraction of humankind lived where their ancestors had lived for hundreds or thousands of years. Now almost no one does. To the extent we take any notice of this change, we probably think it is all to the good. Mobility is highly valued in contemporary culture. The idea of an organic and permanent connection to a single place strikes most people as archaic, even oppressive.
But our current, historically new life pattern, in which most children leave home in late adolescence and never return to that place to live, has its costs. For the rest of that young person's life, her internalized source of authority will be institutional and abstract: university, corporation, profession, government. Abstractions are hard to have human-scale emotions about. The place one grew up in, if one returns there with a degree of mastery (or achieves it in place), makes it easier to grasp that one has changed—there's a detailed, familiar background to see oneself against, rather than the nebulous grid of a shadowy bureaucracy. Belonging to a place, as Berry repeatedly emphasizes, can be anchoring and liberating at the same time. "It is only in the place one belongs to, intimate and familiar, long watched over, that the details rise up out of the whole and become visible: the hawk stoops into the clearing before one's eyes; the wood drake, aloof and serene in his glorious plumage, swims out of his hiding place."
Berry is a serious Christian, and also a serious reader of poetry. His prose is studded with quotations from the Bible and the poetic canon. It may be surprising (though it shouldn't be, really) how easy it is to find a text in Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare, Blake, or Wordsworth celebrating humility, fortitude, magnanimity, chastity, marital fidelity, or some other Christian (though not exclusively Christian) virtue. Character and virtue are indeed fragile, and it's reasonable to exploit all the resources of human culture to shore them up. But although it lends his writing gravity and grace, I'm sorry that Berry insists on giving the agrarian ethos a religious framework and on situating human flourishing within a "Great Economy," by which he means not Gaia but the "Kingdom of God." As a result, he speaks less persuasively than he might to those of us who feel that our civilization has somehow gone wrong, and that at least some part of traditional wisdom is indeed wisdom, but who cannot believe that this universe is the work of the Christian God, or of any God. And yet we need Berry's preaching as much as anyone. Jesus came, after all, to call sinners, not the just, to good farming practices.
Our culture's great need today is for a pious paganism, a virtuous rationalism, skeptical and science-loving but skeptical even of science when necessary, aware that barbarism is as likely as progress and may even arrive advertised as progress, steadily angry at the money-changers and mindful of the least of our brethren. I don't see how anyone who shares Berry's Christian beliefs could fail to adopt his ideal of stewardship. But if those religious beliefs are necessary as well as sufficient—if there is no other path to that ideal, as he sometimes seems to imply—then we may be lost. One cannot believe at will.
Berry is often compared with Thoreau, and one can see why: both of them were ardent and remarkably prolific, both outdoor thinkers, both wary of technological progress. But unlike Berry, Thoreau sometimes played with ideas; he also did not believe the world was going altogether badly. I think Paul Goodman, the New York intellectual and anarchist, best known for Growing Up Absurd (1960), might be a better comparison. Goodman was thoroughly urban, but he was hands-on, keenly interested in designing and building, insatiably curious about the details of whatever subject he was theorizing about. He was also eloquent about virtue and character, though wholly secular. Goodman died in 1972 and did not cross paths with Berry, unfortunately. Still, we can try the thought experiment. It would have been tremendously interesting—perhaps even culture-changing—to hear them trying to reach common ground.

José Pinto de Carvalho Santos Águas (Luanda, 9 november 1930 – Lissabon, 10 december 2000) was een Portugees voetballer. Águas maakte furore bij Benfica, waarmee hij in 1961 en 1962 als aanvoerder de Europacup I won. Daarnaast stond Águas bekend als een trefzekere spits. In twaalf van zijn dertien seizoenen bij Benfica scoorde hij nooit minder dan 18 competitiedoelpunten. Uiteindelijk kwam hij tot 379 optredens voor de club waarin hij 377 keer scoorde. Alleen Eusébio scoorde meer doelpunten (473) voor Benfica.

Águas was de vader van de Portugese oud-international Rui Águas, die eveneens vele successen vierde met Benfica, en de zangeres Lena D'Água, die voornamelijk in de jaren 80 carrière maakte.

Carrière

Lusitano Lobito
José Águas werd geboren in de kustplaats Luanda, gelegen in Portugees-West-Afrika, het huidige Angola. Als snel verhuisde hij echter naar Lobito. Águas kwam uit een blanke familie en was opgeleid tot grootwildjager. Daarnaast voetbalde hij bij het lokale Lusitano Lobito. Bij die club werd Águas in 1950 opgemerkt door Maurício Vieira de Brito, clubpresident van Benfica. Benfica hield een tournee door Afrika en speelde daarbij vriendschappelijke wedstrijden tegen lokale clubs. Águas had in het duel tussen Lusitano Lobito en Benfica slechts voor de lol meegespeeld maar kreeg na afloop meteen een contract aangeboden.

Benfica
Bij Benfica zou Águas uitgroeien tot een icoon. Al in het seizoen 1951/52 kroonde hij zich tot topscorer van de Portugese competitie met 28 doelpunten. Deze prestatie zou hij nog viermaal herhalen. Zijn status op nationaal niveau nam tot 1960 nog grotere vormen aan door het binnenhalen van twee landstitels en zes Portugese bekers. Op internationaal niveau had Benfica tot op dat moment slechts een marginale rol gespeeld. Dit veranderde echter toen de club in 1960/61 voor de tweede maal deelnam aan de Europacup I. Voorafgaand aan het toernooi behoorde Benfica niet tot de favorieten. Toch bereikten de relatief onbekende Portugezen uiteindelijk de finale, na de vroegtijdige uitschakeling van onder meer Real Madrid, Juventus en Stade Reims. In de finale trof Benfica het Spaanse FC Barcelona, dat gold als de torenhoge favoriet. De Spaanse club had vijfvoudig winnaar Real Madrid in de tweede ronde verslagen, was landskampioen geworden in 1959 en 1960 en had in beide seizoenen tevens beslag gelegd op de Jaarbeursstedenbeker. Daarnaast hadden de Catalanen de Ballon d'Or-winnaar van 1960, Luis Suárez, in huis en internationale grootheden, waaronder het Hongaarse aanvalstrio László Kubala, Sándor Kocsis, Zoltán Czibor en de Braziliaanse spits Evaristo. Tegen de verwachtingen in bleek Benfica echter de bovenliggende partij tijdens de finale in het Wankdorfstadion. Door een gelijkmaker van Águas (1-1), een eigen doelpunt van doelman Ramallets (2-1) en het winnende doelpunt van Coluna (3-2), werd Benfica de tweede club in de geschiedenis die de Europacup I won.

Door de winst van de Europacup I mocht Benfica in 1961 strijden om de Wereldbeker tegen het Uruguayaanse Peñarol. Het eerste duel werd met 1-0 gewonnen door een doelpunt van Coluna. In de return verloor Benfica met 5-0. In het beslissende derde duel scoorde Peñarol tweemaal en dit bleek voldoende voor de overwinning.

In 1962 bereikte Benfica wederom de Europacup I-finale. Ditmaal was het Real Madrid van Di Stéfano, Puskás en Gento de tegenstander. Real Madrid nam tijdens de finale in het Olympisch Stadion in Amsterdam de leiding en stond bij de rust met 3-2 voor, na een hattrick van Puskás. Trainer Guttmann zag echter dat niet Puskás de meest gevaarlijke speler aan Madrileense kant was maar Di Stéfano. Hij besloot daarom Cavém na de rust mandekking te laten spelen op de Argentijn. Dit bleek een meesterzet. Benfica verhoogde het tempo en zes minuten na de wedstrijdhervatting trok Coluna de score gelijk. Een klein kwartier later kreeg Benfica een penalty en kon het voor de eerste maal op voorsprong komen. Eusébio mocht de strafschop nemen en de spits faalde niet vanaf elf meter. Drie minuten later scoorde Eusébio zijn tweede van de avond en bepaalde hij de eindstand op 5-3 in het voordeel van Benfica.

Het daaropvolgende seizoen kreeg Águas te maken met vormverlies waardoor hij zijn basisplaats verloor. Tot ongenoegen van de fans zette trainer Riera de routinier terug naar het tweede elftal. José Augusto Torres werd zijn vervanger. Hoewel niemand verwachtte dat dit het definitieve afscheid van Águas betekende, maakte de spits enkele maanden later voor 400.000 schilling de overstap naar Austria Wien. Vlak voor zijn naderende vertrek ging de derde opeenvolgende Europacup I-finale nog aan de neus van Águas voorbij vanwege een blessure. Benfica wist zijn titel overigens niet te prolongeren. Tegenstander AC Milan was met 2-1 te sterk.

Austria Wien
Nadat Águas op 5 september 1963 zijn laatste wedstrijd voor Benfica had gespeeld, arriveerde hij een dag later in Wenen om zijn contract te ondertekenen. Austria Wien betaalde zijn afkoopsom in twee delen. De eerste 150.000 schilling ontving Águas ineens. Het tweede deel ter grootte van 250.000 ontving hij pas bij zijn afscheidswedstrijd tegen Benfica in 1965 (3-3). Op dat moment speelde Águas echter al niet meer voor Austria. De trefzekere spits van weleer had niet weten te overtuigen in Wenen. Vanwege de tegenvallende prestaties had de club zelfs oud-trainer Guttmann nog laten invliegen om te onderzoeken wat Águas mankeerde. Uiteindelijk speelde de spits maar zeven wedstrijden voor de hoofdstedelingen waarin hij tweemaal het net vond (in de 6-3 zege op SVS Linz). In de zomer van 1964 beëindigde Águas zijn spelerscarrière en ging hij aan de slag als trainer.

Portugees elftal
Águas debuteerde op 23 november 1952 voor het Portugese elftal tegen Oostenrijk (1-1). Tijdens zijn interlandloopbaan speelde Águas 25 interlands voor het Portugese elftal waarin hij 11 doelpunten scoorde. In die periode wist Portugal zich niet te kwalificeren voor een eindtoernooi. Zijn laatste optreden voor het nationale elftal vond plaats op 17 mei 1962 tegen België (1-2 nederlaag).

Lay Down Your Arms music_note
Harry Nilsson's recording of "Lay Down Your Arms" plays during the closing credits for the film Handgun (aka Deep in the Heart).
"Lay Down Your Arms" by Harry Nilsson
Ringo Starr and Stevie Nicks performed "Lay Down Your Arms" on the For The Love of Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson album.
"Lay Down Your Arms" by Ringo Starr and Stevie Nicks
It came about because Harry was my dear friend and he was really preparing himself for an album, always writing songs. He gave me this song 'Lay Down Your Arms' four or five years ago. And I always thought I wanted to do this song one day if he doesn't do it on an album. So when they came around to doing the album For The Love Of Harry everyone did songs that were already done by Harry. And I had this song that nobody had done but he had written it. It was real emotional for me because I was doing it for Harry and it was 'Lay Down Your Arms,' the gun law and everything else. I just called Don Was. I said, Have you got a couple of hours? Everyone was sort of doing it at home, it wasn't big production records. And he had a studio so I said, I've got this idea for this track. I'll bring it over and see what we think, what we can do with it. We pressed the buttons. He put a line down on piano, we had the keypad for the drums. I did a bit of that and got some rhythm section going. Did the vocals. And he said, 'Let's see if so and so is in?' Some guy came over and played guitar and then Stevie Nicks was down the road, give her a call. And she came over with her girls and they did the vocals. We did it in a night. It was like good old records (laughs) where you're not suffering for years. You just got it together and people were just popping in. It was like a little conveyor belt in a way. If people would come in and do the guitar. Okay, thank you, we need the room. Because it was just in a house room. I'd bring in someone else and it was just great. We started 'round about six at night and it was mixed by three in the morning. And I didn't know I'd got a good review so it's good to hear.
-- Ringo Starr[1]
"Lay Down Your Arms" was written by Harry in response to John Lennon's assassination. "I get nervous," he said, "when they start shooting piano players."
The lyric was partially taken from a song Harry had written several years earlier for the score of the musical Zapata, called "Let Me Go Free." It was not written specifically for Ringo, but there had been plans for him to record it throughout the eighties. It never transpired. Harry would have recorded it himself if he'd been able to get a record contract. Several versions of the song exist, as recorded by Harry. Throughout the decade, he returned to the number periodically.
As much as I love Ringo, the weakest of Harry's versions is vastly superior the FTLOH cover. Still, it was right and proper that Ringo be the one to introduce the song since we're being denied the original.

Nam Dinh and Hai Phong meet , in a friendly match, the first of the year for both teams. The recent head‑to‑head record favours the away team, since they have a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 4 matches. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 19‑10‑2019, and ended in a (2‑1) win by Nam Dinh. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.
Analysis of Nam Dinh
This is the first friendly match of the year for the home team, after having played 3 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: Nam Dinh (1‑3) Than Quang Ninh, Nam Dinh (2‑3) Da Nang and Nam Dinh (3‑2) Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 draws and 9 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a home loss against Than Quang Ninh by (1‑3). Nam Dinh has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn't been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 15 of the last 16 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals.
Analysis of Hai Phong
The away team plays its first friendly match of the year, after not having played any friendlies last year. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 20 conceded. In their last match, for the V.League 1, they got a home loss against Hồ Chí Minh by (1‑2). In the last 10 away matches Hai Phong has won 2, tied 2 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn't been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 13 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 6 of their 15 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 10 of their 25 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Title: Taste Test - Ansible, Salt, Puppet, Chef
Date: 2014-08-15
Tags: devops, automation, tools, continuous-delivery

## Intro

About a month ago, I took the
[taste-test][] by Matt Jaynes, comparing Ansible, Salt,
Puppet, and Chef. I had some very basic experience with Puppet and
familiarity with Chef, but hadn't really delved into any of the tools.

*I had purchased the book about 6 months ago, so I was using version 1. I
just noticed that he has updated the book, so the workarounds below may
no longer apply. The version I had was working against Ubuntu 12.04 LTS,
whereas I ran against 14.04 and the latest versions of each of the
tools.*

I highly recommend the book, as it repeats the same scenario with SSH
plus 4 different tools yet takes the pain out of learning the tools.

You'll see that he states its not for people working in the Windows
stack, but I disagree. The book does assume you have a background with
Linux and some familiarity with SSH, but that's probably not required.
You'll have the commands you need to run, and you can always look up the
topics or commands to get a better understanding. And, I know if you're
reading this post, you probably know me, so just reach out to me
whenever you hit any snags and I can guide you through it. *I guess if
you don't know me, thanks for stopping by!!! Go ahead and reach out
anyway if you hit snags.*

## &*<@(*&#$ RANT!!!!!!!!!! and the reason for taking this taste test.

My motivation was, well simply, I'm absolutely sick of the notion of
having to write your own deployment tool to deploy code in the Windows
stack. I have some experience with BuildMaster and knew about Puppet and
Chef, but I wanted more exposure.

I've worked in the Windows stack my entire career *(and my liver
hates me for it)* and every company I've worked with has some convoluted
process to ship code. It's a problem that plagues Windows development,
and it started back when they decided the mouse and dumbass UI was their
key to dominating the market.

Most efforts are some cobbled together process that involves expensive,
terrible and outdated tools, coupled together with some scripting glue,
all of which are so fragile everyone is afraid to touch them. The amount
of manual effort I've seen it take to ship code on the Windows stack are
absolute bullshit and extremely error-prone. I've never been one to be
accused of praising Microsoft, so this rant probably comes as no
surprise, but I'm just absolutely tired of it and all the hoops you have
to jump through just to ship some stupid 1s and 0s.

Admittedly, not all of the blame falls on Microsoft... maybe only 90% of
the fault is theirs. OK It's probably more like 51%, but why not shift
the blame to what their market share is, because until recently they
were strictly tight-lipped and closed source company. Anyway, all of us
stupid .Net developers perpetuate the problem by not forcing any kind of
conventions on our processes, and putting up with the absolute crap they
force on us.

I could go on ranting for days, and probably still only touch the
surface of my anger against this stack, but our failure to impart any
kind of standards makes our lives difficult. In turn, that guarantees
that you must have some technical idiot to maintain the chaos; they'll
probably make the problem even worse and make your process even more
fragile, and the stupid pattern just continues. I'm absolutely sick of
it.

Rant over, I hope. Enter, Continuous Delivery tools, and then we can
hopefully figure out how to bend them to work with Windows and impart
some conventions on how we act. *I'm talking about so much more than
just putting your application at some ridiculously long file path with
spaces and parentheses and a processor identifier...*

## Overall

Again, this is based on version 1 of [the book][]. This section should
help with all of the tools, but then you'll get into a section for each
later on.

	+ There are a few tasks to do on all machines that will help.

		- **add keychain** *(for saving ssh keys)*
		- **edit /etc/hosts** on each, adding master in puppy & kitty, and
		puppy & kitty on master
		- **symlink for nginx**:
		This book uses Ubuntu 12.04, and the nginx version used in
		this book references `/usr/share/nginx/www/` as the web root.
		However, using the latest nginx 1.4.6 & Ubuntu 14.04, the web root is
		`/usr/share/nginx/html`. This needs to be adjusted for in all of the
		instruction here, *OR*, as you're setting up your clean environments,
		create the target directory and symlink to it:

				mkdir -p /usr/share/nginx/html
				ln -s /usr/share/nginx/html /usr/share/nginx/www

	+ If I give access to others, I should either remove the password from
	the ssh files or set up alternate paths in the .ssh/config

## Chef

	+ Page 66: adding bootstrappers to puppy and kitty

		- the puppy.dev and kitty.dev need to be listed in the
		/etc/hosts file on the work.dev machine; it doesn't take this from
		the master.dev machine (I tested it)

		- also, it uses the ssh keys from work.dev, not master.dev; odd. But
		if you use a different private ssh key on the work.dev than the
		master.dev (which I did after I created it) then you'll need to
		register it's key on the puppy.dev and kitty.dev machines as well.

		- and, it looks like the clones need to have /etc/hosts entries to
		master as well. joy. It makes it through a lot and then throws a
		network error later.

## Puppet

	+ Page 72: the referenced debian package is old and missing.
	Names / versions can be searched for [here](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/puppetlabs_package_repositories.html)
	but if you know exactly what you need, just find the correct package
	from the [apt page](https://apt.puppetlabs.com/). 14.04 is Trusty.

	+ Page 73: when launching the clients, a warning is thrown but doesn't
	seem to prevent execution:
	> Warning: Setting templatedir is deprecated. See
	> http://links.puppetlabs.com/env-settings-deprecations
	> (at /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/settings.rb:1095:in
	> \`block in issue_deprecations')

	To resolve this, simply comment out that line in the `[main]` section
	of `/etc/puppet/puppet.conf`:
			`# templatedir=$confdir/templates # deprecated`

## Closing

If you want to skip reading the full book, just do Ansible. It probably
wouldn't hurt to know Chef and Puppet as well, as they're very popular,
but that's just handy if you go somewhere else that already has this
established.

OH! And my D.O. bill, $0.25! I was pretty diligent about destroying
the servers when I wasn't using them. That's a bit wasteful to save a
few pennies but there were a few gaps in between me being able to
complete this and I didn't want to pay for them sitting idle.

Then, adding the promo code UBUNTUDROPLET, I received a $10.00 credit!

Onto Ansible + Windows!

This Is Not a Printing Press
by Peter Schiff | Oct 21, 2019
The Fed has been successful in fooling the markets regarding the temporary nature of zero-percent interest rates, the efficacy of QE, and its ability to normalize rates and shrink its balance sheet.
Rene Magritte's 1929 painting "The Treachery of Images," depicts a tobacco pipe with a caption that reads "Ceci n'est pas une pipe," (French for "This is not a pipe"). Everyone who has taken a course in modern art knows that Magritte's exercise in contradiction was meant to draw a distinction between a real thing and a representation of that thing. Perhaps we should send Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell a beret and an easel as he is attempting a similarly surrealistic take on monetary policy.
Early last week, the Chairman announced a new, as yet unnamed, Fed program through which the bank will now buy regular amounts of short-term U.S. government debt. Seeking to counter the rumblings that a new form of quantitative easing would be seen as an admission that the economy may be in trouble, Chairman Powell asserted during the annual meeting of NABE on October 8, "This is not QE. In no sense is this QE". In other words, "Ceci n'est pas QE."
On Friday, the New York Fed put some meat on the bone by detailing that the program will buy $60 billion per month of Treasury Bills, at least through the second quarter of next year. (R. Miller & C. Condon, Bloomberg) In addition, at least through January 2020, the Fed will continue with $75 billion in overnight repurchases and $35 billion in term repurchases twice per week. (N. Timiraos & P. Kiernan, Dow Jones Newswire) As a result, it is estimated that the Fed's balance sheet will reach roughly $4.2-$4.3 trillion some time in Q2 2020. Of course, since the actual size of the purchases required to keep interest rates from rising could be much larger, the Fed's balance sheet could be significantly larger as well.
The Fed even put out a Frequently Asked Questions page last week that among other things highlighted how the current moves differ from the original version of QE in 2008. It stresses that whereas the old version of QE was designed to spur economic growth in a sluggish economy, the current moves are simply designed to patch leaky financial pipes that are very much removed from the real economy. A statement on the FAQ page reads, "These operations have no material implications for the stance of monetary policy," and should not have "any meaningful effects" on household and business spending or the overall level of economic activity. Instead, the Fed just wants to make sure there is enough cash sloshing around the system — because lately there hasn't been.
But as the reliable American folk wisdom states: if something "looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck." In this case, Powell can call the new Fed program anything he wants, but it certainly quacks like QE.
As it was originally defined just a few short years ago, QE was the attempt by central banks to buy and hold government debt in an effort to pull down interest rates and inject liquidity into stressed financial markets. Okay, check and check. The only difference between then and now is that in 2008-2014 the Fed targeted the longer-dated end of the bond market, and this time it is targeting the shorter end…at least for now. But bond maturity length never figured much into the definition anyway, so that doesn't really seem to matter.
Another distinction that Powell makes is that the current program is more modest in scope than the full-blown QE programs of 2009-2014, which added more than $4 trillion to the Fed's balance sheet, according to data from the St. Louis Fed, (the vast majority of which it still holds to this day). And while it's true that the $180 billion or so that the Fed has pumped into the markets over the last month is just a spit in the bucket compared to what it had amassed in the early part of this decade, please remember that the Fed has just started…give it time! $180 billion in one month is actually a much faster pace than what was seen at the height of the QE era (which topped out at $85 billion per month).
Should anyone really expect that the new program will end in the middle of next year as the Fed now suggests? It has never fully ended any of its prior stimulus plans, why would this one be any different? In fact, thanks to the Fed, the U.S. economy will be even more heavily indebted in eight months than it is now. So the Fed will be forced to buy even more debt to keep interest rates from rising in an economy even more vulnerable to higher rates than it is today. Like any drug habit, the more drugs you consume today, the more you will have to consume tomorrow to achieve the desired effect.
If we can agree that it makes no difference what we call the program, it is nevertheless important to focus on the differences between QE then and QE now. Back in 2009, the program was all about reliquifying the long bond market that had been decimated by billions of dollars of worthless subprime bonds. But a decade later, the home mortgage market is relatively calm, at least for now. Long-term interest rates are already rock bottom, and mortgage delinquencies are not currently causing panic in the banking system. Today, problems are popping up in a very different place, the very short-end of the bond market, particularly in the overnight "repos" where banks lend spare cash to one another on a very short-term basis.
As it turns out, the Fed's $50 billion per month of bond sales, which began early in 2018 and ended in Second Quarter of this year, drained liquidity from the overnight market at the same time increased government borrowing was sucking up all available cash. Last year's tax cuts, combined with increased Federal spending, pushed this year's deficit past $1 trillion for the first time since 2012. (G. Heeb, Markets Insider, 9/14/19) Deficits are currently expected to stay north of $1 trillion per year for the foreseeable future. That means more new government bonds than expected are likely to hit the market.
Contrary to his campaign promise, President Trump has actually shortened the maturity of the national debt. (US Govt. Finance: Debt, Yardeni Research, Inc., 10/10/19) Shorter maturities means that more debt will need to be refinanced each month. Banks have dutifully bought those bonds, as they are often required to do by capitalization laws that were put in place since the Crisis of 2008. But this has not left enough cash to keep the overnight market well-lubricated.
This problem erupted into broad daylight just a few weeks ago, when yields on overnight bonds skyrocketed to 10% or more. Rates that high in an overlooked, but vital, part of the financial system could have caused the economy to seize up, so the Fed intervened with all guns blazing. It bought approximately $53 billion of overnight loans in just the first day of the crisis.
At that point, most market observers believed that the problem was caused by a confluence of temporary events that would last just one day, or maybe a week. But those hopes quickly faded, and we have been left with a crisis that now appears permanent. In light of this, it is not surprising that the Fed expanded its intervention into the short-end of the Treasury market. But don't expect the problems to end there. The debt crisis is like a cancer that I believe will continue to spread. The Fed is out of miracle cures. In fact, it never had any.
This all reminds me of when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke first introduced the QE program in 2009, stressing that that it did not constitute "debt monetization" (the situation where a government buys its own debt) because QE was "temporary" and the bonds that the Fed was buying in an emergency would be sold back to the market once the crisis abated. (Testimony before U.S. House Budget Committee, 6/3/09) At the time, I predicted, when virtually no one else on Wall Street did, that the Fed would never be able to sell those assets back into the market. It turns out, the Fed was only able to sell less than 25% of what it had bought before it encountered a crisis that forced it to scrap the whole process.
As I have said many, many times, quantitative easing is a monetary Roach Motel: Once central bankers check in, they can never check out. For now, Chairman Powell is occupying a different room in this particular motel than had his predecessors. But rest assured, not only will he occupy that room, but I expect he will also be expanding into many more. None of the rooms will have a good view and all will have dirty linen.
The real question is when investors will get wind of the stench? The Fed has been successful in fooling the markets regarding the temporary nature of zero-percent interest rates, the efficacy of QE, and its ability to normalize rates and shrink its balance sheet. Had the markets not been fooled, the program would have produced a much different result. Its "success" was purely a function of the belief that the policy was temporary and reversible. The realization that it is neither could cause a flight from the dollar and Treasuries that could usher in a financial crisis far worse than what was experienced in 2008.

Hokuto no Ken is a game for the Sega Master System that was completely changed for western markets and retitled "Black Belt". The game is based on a TV anime called Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken).
This is an English translation of Hokuto No Ken for the Sega Master System.
At last, the game is now fully playable in English as it always should. You'll notice this is more challenging than Black Belt and way better than the NES game.

Gentry Griffey Funeral Chapel & Crematory
Plant a Tree for Charles
Charles Thomas Doherty
March 7, 1927 ~ December 4, 2020 (age 93)
Charles Thomas Doherty, 93, of Knoxville, Tennessee, has packed up his shillelagh and begun celebrating Christmas early with his beloved late wife, Sydnee Smith Doherty and all the saints. Our favorite leprechaun passed away quickly Friday, Dec. 4, 2020, before the devil even knew he was gone.
Chuck, as his friends and family would call him, was born in Detroit, Michigan on March 7, 1927 to Thomas Henry and Frances McEvoy Doherty. As a young man, he attended the Henry Ford Trade School in Detroit before enlisting in the Army. As a WW II Army veteran, he served as an airplane and engine mechanic from 1944 until his honorable discharge in 1947. Corporal Doherty was awarded the Victory Medal and the Army of Occupation Medal for serving in Germany. He later attended the University of Detroit and graduated in 1955 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
It was during his college years that he met the love of his life, Sydnee, who was a nursing student at Mercy College. Chuck and Syd married on Oct. 18, 1958 in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. Together they raised seven children, the first six in Florida. Later when they moved to Tennessee in 1970 where their last child, Rachael was born. Prior to moving his family to Tennessee, Chuck worked at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on the Mercury and Gemini programs as an engineer in the failure analysis lab. Long after leaving NASA, he held a life long passion for space flight exploration and fostered this interest in his children and grandchildren.
Chuck has been retired since the late 1980's from TVA and throughout all his life enjoyed driving across the country, hiking, taking pictures, building bonfires and being outdoors in general. Closer to home he enjoyed bee keeping, singing in the choir at Holy Ghost Catholic Church, gardening and tending his small vineyard and various nut and fruit trees. He most enjoyed the road trips to see family and to antique auctions with Sydnee. He was a dedicated, adoring, hard-working husband and was there at her beck and call to load up the van and stock the antique booth whenever she needed it. Chuck and Syd were avid fans of the Smokies baseball team and occupied the stands over many seasons. The antique booths in Pigeon Forge, the Smokies team, their grand kids' games and band performances, and the visiting of distant relatives and lifelong friends kept them on the road together and enjoying life in their retirement years.
Chuck is preceded in death by Sydnee, his parents, his brother and sister-in law William and Lorraine Doherty, his sister and brother-in-law Joan and Russ Gagne, his brother-in-law Robert Sock and his nephew Mike Doherty. Chuck has now finished his journey and is home raising pints and celebrating with them all including countless other friends, relatives and his country cousins.
He is survived by his sweet sister, Kathleen Sock. He is also survived by two sons, Shawn Doherty, and Brian Doherty with wife Jane; five daughters, Cheryl Goins and husband Roger, Kathleen Paddock and husband Eddie, Erin Brown and husband Jim, Bridget Hardee with husband Tony, Rachael Castelloe with husband Greg; twelve grandchildren Adam Wilburn, Kaitlyn Moriarty with husband Daniel, Jacob Paddock, Kirsten Guerra with husband Chris, Maren Hodgins, Benjamin Paddock, Meghan Doherty, Morgan Doherty, Kathryn Doherty, Connor Hardee, Nathan Castelloe, and Sydnee Castelloe.
There will be a call at convenience on Wednesday, December 9, 2020 from 10:00am until 4:30pm at Gentry Griffey Funeral Chapel, 5301 Fountain Road in Knoxville. The funeral mass will be held at Knoxville's Holy Ghost Catholic Church, 1041 N. Central Street at 12:00noon on Friday, December 11, 2020. Interment will be following the Mass at 2:00 pm at Greenwood Cemetery, 3500 Tazewell Pike in Knoxville.

I had watched the making of all the songs which this beautiful movie encompasses and that was before I got hooked to each and every detail the film had to offer through YouTube and news. I watched the interviews, studied the settings, learnt the reason behind Bhansali's focus on the Rajadi and Sanada community and being in Gujarat-the controversy kept my interest alive till it released today and I ran to watch the movie. When hum 'Dil de chuke sanam' might have released- it would have made more or less the same sensation as ram and leela did. This movie is going to stay as long as HDDCS did..
Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela is a 2013 Hindi romantic-drama film directed and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It stars Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone as the eponymous leads. The film is said to be an adaptation of Shakespeare's epic love story Romeo and Juliet, set in violent times.
Ram (Ranveer Singh) is a colourful, charming yet dramatic vagabond, and Leela (Deepika Padukone) is an unbridled and passionate village hotties. The only thing in common between these two strangers is their families' hatred for each other. When Ram and Leela see each other for the first time, their worlds collide, wars are fought and destinies are written in blood, forever as their own kin falling in love with each other is worse than any storm that could have ever come.
Deepika is fab, wait for it-ulous. Deepika Padukone dances like a dream with the right expressions and acts so well in the movie that you shall forget all her past mistakes and regrets. Ranveer just matched his popularity and acting skills with that of every competitor in site. He learnt a new language to better his performance for the character Ram and it paid off. Though some might find the dandruff song 'tattad tattad' as his entry- a bit too funny and sop-it-you-ruined-it, still, the second half shows how bloody the boy can get. Strong performances from actors like Supriya Pathak, Richa Chadda and Barkha Bisht add a lot to the movie. The story line is of Romeo-Juliet and is more or less borrowed version, set up in Gujarat and unfailingly it shows the Gujarati knack for colours and garba in its truest sense. Bhansali keeps you glued to the screen and he really meant it when he once said that- my sets are as important as my actors and when I make a movie- it's not just a movie but a story which stays. All in all, the movie is elegant and one hardly feels bored. The ending is not expected, as in a bad way and after all that happens in blood and gore- the movie doesn't serve any purpose.
What can I say about the stream of songs which stole the limelight from every other songs or musicals at the box office. Music is by	Monty Sharma and our very own Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
All the radios did these days were playing – ramleela ke gaane. "Laga de", "dhoop", "ram chahe leela" are classic. 'Nagada sang dhol baje' is out of the world and the lyrics are mesmerising. And believe me, even if you end up not liking the movies bloody plot – you will find the songs an awesome experience on the big screen. My personal favorite is ishqyaun dhishqyaun and you can find the lyrics for that here.
For all its hype, grandeur, money, blood, sweat, music, tragedy, Ram Leela is definitely worth a watch.
Ramleela movie get changed its name two times but it is running as a hit movie.
RamLeela is a Blockbuster Movie, Great Written Review about Movie, Sanjay leela Bhansali again stole hearts of Viewers with This movie, Little bit Controversy become for Movie, but its Success hide every Thing.
In my opinion RamLeela is good movie but Sanjay Bhansali can make it better. At present he is the only showman of the industry but film goes very unrealistic.
This movie made the name of Ranveer SIngh.
its a awesome movie script of this movie is outstanding.
