Downrigging in Chestertown
1100 Friday October 29, 2010
Moored in Chestertown, Maryland for Sultana's Rig-down Weekend
The weather has come cool again…after being mid seventies. I find this notable for this time of year. Seems this fall we have been more warm than cold than during past falls. I have not heard any discussion of this in the news…so maybe this has happened before. It sure makes life aboard Pride II very comfortable! I remember more often being frozen down below at this time of year.
Pride II spent the last couple to three days sailing in the company of her little privateer sister Lynxbetween Cambridge, Annapolis and Chestertown. As I mentioned in an earlier log I am charmed by having two "Baltimore Privateers" sailing around the Chesapeake Bay at the same time in the 21st Century. I hope all you readers are charmed as well. There is a friend of my wife Leslie's that was at Sandy Point State Park Wednesday and caught a "mobile phone photo" of the two privateers passing through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. It is actually a pretty clear shot of another iconic contrast of the modern and the old.
Lynx and Pride II passing through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, Oct. 27, 2010
There are a couple of old phrases dating to the mid 1800's…cracker jack ship…cracker jack sailor. I believe it came about during the heyday of the American Clipper Ship era. I am sure all of you know that a clipper ship is a ship-rigged sailing vessel that is very fast…i.e. it clips off the miles faster than other more common ship rigged sailing vessels. Pride II is a clipper schooner…i.e. it is a schooner rigged very fast boat for her represented period. To confuse things Pride II can also be described as a Baltimore Clipper…meaning it is a fast Baltimore built vessel. Leaving the listener with the chore of assuming what rig it was. For the purposes of the 1812 War, Baltimore built vessels used as privateers might be described as Baltimore Clipper Privateers.
In any event, cracker jack sailors were needed for crackerjack vessels because smart and gung-ho sailors, or sailors with bully-mates, were able to hand sail and rigging more smartly than aboard the regular sailing cargo vessel. Between two cracker jack vessels would be some serious competition to demonstrate a "smart" style and maybe a notable seamanship style that could create envy in other vessels' crews.
Fortunately the sense of competition between Lynx and Pride II is not especially strong. More it is merely pride in their vessel than it is any attempt to show the other vessel as 'less' in some aspect. There is no place for showing-up our little sister any more than it would be friendly to have Pride II welcomed to the West Coast with effort to show her as less than her hosts.
We are here in Chestertown rafted alongside. Lynx is outboard of Pride II because she is smaller and it is not 'proper' to expect her to act as Pride II's fender…although Lynx is strong enough to have Pride IIalongside should the occasion merit. In Chestertown is a gathering of several sailing vessels to celebrate the end of the sailing season in the Chesapeake Bay for the larger working vessels…hence the "rig-down" reference. These next three days will be spent with the visiting vessels parading under as much sail as possible in a very narrow winding river showing off and showing to the gathered crowds this last major traditional maritime weekend of the season. The crews mingle after hours and do a lot of waving back and forth between the vessels as they pass. Pride II and Lynx are not the only rafted vessels, so good neighborliness is being demonstrated and experienced throughout the fleet. With good weather the good comradeship is felt by all the public as well.

Waiting out weather in Annapolis
1000 hours Wednesday October 27, 2010
Anchored at Annapolis, Maryland
Rain and threat of thunderstorms
Wind southerly 10 to 15 knots with threat of higher in squalls
We remain anchored in Annapolis waiting on the weather. We are ahead of schedule for arrival in Chestertown tomorrow late afternoon. No reason to get underway in the current wet weather. So crew are deep into cleaning and maintenance. A shore errand is being run with the aid of past Guest Crew and Annapolis resident Goldwin Smith, who has on several occasions assisted Pride II with errands and even "sitting" Pride II when we had reason to try and get the whole crew to an appointment. Goldwin first sailed Pride II on her Atlantic Crossing of 2005. He speaks fondly of that sail and wants to do it again…in spite of the strong gale we experienced on that crossing. Friends like Goldwin are very special to PRIDE.
The Cambridge Schooner Rendezvous was a pleasant event for all due to great weather. For the previous two years running the weather was awful. But this last weekend the weather was near 70 degrees F and moderate and steady breezes of day sailing angled best to permit sailing along the axis of the Choptank River.
Cambridge, MD has a long maritime history due to being a somewhat large harbor with depth located deep into the Delmarva Peninsula. In the old days before trains and bridges the only way to get farm goods from the Eastern Shore to "The City" Baltimore was by water. When trains and eventually a good road system was developed, Cambridge remained valuable for getting oysters, clams and crabs to market and restaurants. But even so, with competition of efficiency in transportation modes, seafood could be moved directly from the fishing grounds to "The City" and it was not long before Cambridge as a "port" was seeing significant loss of commercial value while holding on to recreational boating interests. For thirty years or more this transition has been seeing more loss of value than increase of value. However recently, within the last 10 years, especially within the last 5 years, retirement home and second home interest has grown and that has led to a greater interest in Cambridge as a port. The Schooner Rendezvous is a new event that helps highlight the value of Cambridge as a port for both historical reasons as well recreational reasons. Pride II was welcomed as the icon she is by locals expressing great appreciation that she and the other schooners took the time and effort to make the rendezvous.
Sailing from Cambridge to Annapolis was very pleasant with a fresh southerly wind and near balmy temperatures. We had Pride II's "little sister" Lynx in company the whole way. Two privateers of the 1812 War vintage in the same water is unique enough…but in the Chesapeake Bay brings back essences of what the bay scene must have offered way back then.
A side visit to Solomons Island
Moored alongside the Solomons Island Yacht Club pier.
It is raining and has been since 0315 this morning. It is promised to rain through much of the day. With such weather coming in today…yesterday I contacted our friends at the Solomons Island Yacht Club to see if they had space and willingness to permit PRIDE alongside last night in anticipation of the rain. Fortunately they were not full up and PRIDE was welcome. Today, after breakfast, I gave all aboard the morning off. Nothing much to do in the rain and there is a great maritime museum less than a mile away…the Calvert Maritime Museum. Weather is expected to change late today and actually become pretty fresh from southwest to west tomorrow…which should make for a good and fast sail to Cambridge.
Over the years, Solomons Island Yacht Club has hosted PRIDE for those times when she visited to provide the opportunity for school groups to visit. It has been a number of years since PRIDE's last visit. In the meanwhile the yacht club has done some major adjusting. They expanded and upgraded their clubhouse and re-did some of the main dock. I am most appreciative of their continued willingness to permit PRIDE alongside. Their dock is popular with other yacht club organization members looking for reciprocal docking and membership privileges. Pride of Baltimore, Inc. does not have facilities to reciprocate with…so the generosity and support of Marylander's PRIDE by the Solomons Island Yacht Club is truly welcomed.
Departing Norfolk Harbor on Monday the wind was favorably on the beam from the east so the crew and our new Guest Crew set all of PRIDE's sail…including the studding sail…for a little while. The wind pushed PRIDE all the way to the Great Wicomico River, just south of Smith Point, the lower lip of the entrance of the Potomac River. We sailed in right up to the anchor at about 2100 hours. Wind near 10 knots from the ESE.
The Great Wicomico River is home to Reedville, Virginia and the Menhaden fishing industry. As PRIDE made her approach to the river she was overtaken by some five of the Menhaden fishing vessels on their way home. These are not small vessels. At least as long as PRIDE is. The Menhaden fish is used for several things including animal food and fertilizer.
Results are in ~ a great race by all
DOCKSIDE PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA
GREAT CHESAPEAKE BAY SCHOONER RACE RESULTS FOR 2010
The Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race awards were presented late afternoon yesterday. PRIDE was awarded the exquisite ship's clock "LINE HONORS" award…recognizing that PRIDE was indeed the first boat in fleet to finish the race. PRIDE was also awarded 2nd in Class AA,while the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point entry, SUMMERWIND, was awarded 1st in Class AA.
There is a handicap for all of the schooners. While Line Honors is awarded to the first schooner to finish, the handicap establishes the fist three "winners" of the each racing class in the race based on a time allowance created from the handicap system. 3rd in Class AA went to Privateer LYNX.
Handicaps are sometimes funny things. For instance LYNX was rated in such a way as she had to "give" time to SUMMERWIND. Meaning that in this race LYNX would have had to lead SUMMERWIND across the finish line by nearly an hour in order to actually place ahead of her. From the perspective of technological representation alone, such a rating where LYNX, a model of a 1812 War Privateer, gives time to the highly modified 1929 schooner yacht SUMMERWIND does not make sense. Even so, LYNX did very well to cross the finish line only 15 minutes behind SUMMERWIND.
Meanwhile the success of this schooner race is to be envied by all. It provides support to all things good about the Chesapeake Bay ~ Financial support to the Save the Bay Foundation; education of youth about schooners and the Chesapeake Bay; and mutually supportive community that spans the Maryland/Virginia border. The race also gathers what is the largest fleet of schooners in North America and maybe the world. What a remarkable legacy for all of us and thank you to the originator of the idea…Captain Lane Briggs…a most beloved character of the Chesapeake Bay from Tidewater Virginia.
Race Down the Bay ~ GCBSR 2010
Post 2010 Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race
It is just better than 30 hours after completing the 2010 Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race. Most of that time I have been on my back catching up with sleep…no sleep for the race…which started at 1340 hours on Thursday and ended at 0250 hours Friday morning. Up at 0600 on Thursday, asleep for only a couple hour nap at 1000 hours Friday…a span of 28 hours…followed by another couple hour nap from 1600 to 1800…followed by a dead to the world sleep from 2100 to 0715 Friday night to Saturday morning. I feel human again. So seem the ship's complement…but I do not think they slept as much as I did.
The weather forecast for the race suggested a "parade" of racing was in the offing. Meaning, once the order of start was established…there might not be much change to that order. In the end, that seems to have come to pass…more or less. PRIDE was able to achieve a good start and came out 2nd in fleet parade order after the start…behind the well crewed Annapolis "hotrod" schooner WOODWIND. It took PRIDE half of the Chesapeake Bay to get by her…a vessel nearly half of PRIDE's size. But with a much more modern underbody and construction…she is very fast…and very well sailed.
New to the race is United States Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, entry SUMMERWIND. A recently donated schooner yacht of 1929 designed by the venerable John Alden. She is being promoted as a "practical" experience training platform for Merchant Marine Cadets. (Agile and responsive sailing vessels are a really good addition to any maritime academy if anyone were to ask me). Updated with a very high-tech schooner rig with fully battened mainsail and foresail with squared off tops to her sails and a full suite of reaching sails like jenikers (radial head single luff spinnakers) and a gollywobbler (mainmast balloon staysail reacher…rigs like a fisherman between the two schooner masts and reaches all the way to the deck), she was an unknown entity. Let me say she is very fast. In size she is midway between WOODWIND and PRIDE. In the first third of the race she came up from behind during the reaching phase of the race and threatened to pass PRIDE. With conscientious attention to "blocking" strategies, PRIDE was able to force SUMMERWIND to jibe away. This gave PRIDE a chance to maximize her deeper reaching capability during the more downwind phase of the race to extend a lead upon SUMMERWIND.
Meanwhile not far behind was Privateer LYNX…also new to this race…did a decent job with her start…meaning she was not among the first to cross…she was right behind. This enabled her to capture the reaching winds and sail a direct course towards the finish…finishing within only one quarter or a third of an hour behind SUMMERWIND. Good job LYNX! By the way, her skipper is our own relief "partner captain" Jamie Trost. So it stands to reason LYNX would turn in a good performance.
Even though PRIDE had to spend time steering away from the centerline of the race course to attend to preventing SUMMERWIND from overtaking, PRIDE was able to speed down The Bay with the fresh and favorable winds and be the "first in fleet" to cross the Thimble Light Finish Line, more than an hour ahead of SUMMERWIND. But SUMMERWIND was not the second vessel to cross the finish line! It was the venerable WOODWIND from Annapolis! Hail to WOODWIND!
What was it like to sail PRIDE in this 2010 Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race? It was a lot of yelling and bellowing and rushing from one end of the ship to the other hurrying to get thousands of square feet of sail up in a very short time while trying to position the ship for a decent start in a day of constant rain ranging from drizzle to downpour with a 15 knot breeze…i.e. a fresh breeze. The "bellow and bark" from this captain and PRIDE's mate is always a function of a race…especially near the start…but also due to lots of new hands aboard still becoming familiar with PRIDE. Once the start was accomplished the ordering was much more conversational and the work less constant…plus there was a pause in the wind as it began to morph from SE at 15 knots to NW'rly with virtual calm in-between. Still, there were intense and stunningly dynamic moments (the rain eventually passed and the late afternoon broken cloud sunlit sky painted everything beautifully) where PRIDE crew were standing-by to attend to sail when we were "jousting" with SUMMERWIND by steering ahead of her with the goal of blocking her efforts to pass PRIDE. Then there was the after mid-night, post half moon darkness when the wind rose to an erratically puffy 35 knots and also backed towards the west from northwest (wind more on the beam) and it was necessary to get sail down. First the main-gaff-topsail to reduce weather helm, then the studdingsail for reason of strength of wind, then the topgallant for angle of heel followed by double reefing the main and taking in the jib-topsail, followed by taking in the rest of the mainsail. Right afterward the wind moderated some, so the crew reset the jib-topsail because, with the wind more on the beam, it was the better choice than resetting any of the mainsail. All the above took about an hour and a half.
We do not know if PRIDE was able to "save her time" on those vessels of her class she led across the finish line. What we do know is that PRIDE was the first in fleet to finish…HAIL PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II.

"The Town is once again appreciative of its partnership with County Waste which offers this important service free to the taxpayers of Clifton Park. This massive recycling program not only keeps natural materials out of the waste stream, it benefits Clifton Park residents by providing free yard mulch," said Town Supervisor Phil Barrett.
Leaves, grass clippings, tree and shrub trimmings and other brush will be collected in brown paper yard waste bags only. The yard waste along with the bags are recycled through a processing system. No yard waste will be collected from garbage cans or any other containers. Small, bundled brush that is less than four feet long and six inches in diameter will also be collected. Bundles need to be tied to allow for easy pick-up and disposal.
Items that will not be collected include animal waste of any kind, tree or shrub roots of any type, tree stumps or logs, waste products including household garbage, pressure treated wood, railroad ties, building debris, plastic, metal or other foreign materials.
Weekly yard waste pickup days will be Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Residents that live South of Ballston Lake Road and Kinns Road will have their pick-ups on Monday or Tuesday. Residents North of Kinns Road and Ballston Lake Road will have their yard waste picked up on Fridays. At various times of the year when yard waste debris pick up is heavier than normal, pick-up days can deviate from the established schedule.
Residents are reminded not to place bags of yard waste at the curb for collection until the night before pick-up day to avoid inclement weather and bag spillage.

Apple's Online Store Starts Listing Exercise Gear Ahead of Fitness+ Launch
Wednesday December 9, 2020 2:39 am PST by Tim Hardwick
Set to launch on Monday, December 14, Apple Fitness+ is designed to help Apple Watch owners keep fit through a series of guided workouts across multiple workout categories. While many of the workouts don't require special equipment, for some you need things like dumbbells, a yoga mat, a stationary bike, a rowing machine, or a treadmill.
To that end, Apple's online store has started listing select exercise gear on its online store for the first time. Apple has kicked off its exercise equipment offering with yoga accessories, including a Manduka eKOlite Yoga Mat ($77.95), a Manduka 6 mm Performance Yoga Mat ($119.95), and a Cork Yoga Block ($19.95).
According to the listing's description, the Manduka eKOlite Mat is an eco-friendly and biodegradable surface that's naturally grippy and catches if you start to slip, while the more expensive Manduka 6mm Performance mat is "ultra-dense" and offers a spacious surface with "unmatched comfort and cushioning" that's guaranteed to never wear out.
Meanwhile, the Manduka Cork Yoga Block is made of sustainable cork and provides a level of firmness not found in foam blocks.
It's unclear whether Apple plans to build out its exercise equipment offering in its online store, but Apple Fitness+ includes 10 workout categories including HIIT, strength, and cycling, so there's plenty of scope for more.
Fitness+ will be available for $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year, which breaks down to $6.67 per month. For that price, up to six family members total can use the Fitness+ service. Fitness+ is also included in the Apple One Premier bundle, which is priced at $29.99 per month and also offers Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, and 2TB iCloud storage.
With the purchase of a new Apple Watch Series 3 or later, Apple is offering a free three-month trial of the Fitness+ service. watchOS 7.2 also includes support for Apple Fitness+, Apple's newest streaming service. The update is set to come out on Monday, December 14, which is also the Fitness+ release date.

Already have my home fitness equipment sorted ?

Pro Stand for Apple Yoga Mat - just add $999.
yegon
No usb-c, no buy.
I was really hoping Apple would release a fitness product (other than the Watch) like a bike with this service.
I will still use Fitness+ but some Apple branded merch would be awesome.
I wonder how much Apple Bike Pro Max Wheels Kit will cost...
Alan Wynn
OK I'm a fatty and don't know but why the hell is a yoga mat $80? Shouldn't something like this be like $20?
There are mats that are $20 and ones that are more. It is about how durable they are and how much cushioning they provide. REI, Target, sporting goods stores and Amazon will all have a selection. When I started doing Yoga a year ago, I got a cheap mat to see if I really wanted to do it. I am about ready to upgrade to a nicer one. Not sure I will go that expensive, but there are some nicer ones around $40-60 that I am considering.
Cheesehead Dave
Geez, I'd pay $550 for a set of headphones before I'd pay $120 for a yoga mat...

The World's Deepest Pool Has Been Opened In Poland
Dominic Smithers
Last updated 1:02 PM, Tuesday November 24 2020 GMT
The world's deepest pool has opened in Poland.
Deepspot has a depth of 148 feet (45 metres) and a water volume equivalent to 27 times your average 25m swimming pool, and has finally opened in Mszczonow, which is about 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the capital Warsaw, after two years of construction.
It beats the present record holder Y-40 Deep Joy, which can be found in the northern Italian town of Montegrotto Terme and is 42 metres (138 feet) deep.
The impressive centre is set up as a diving school but is also open to the general public and includes an underwater tunnel, restaurants and hotel rooms overlooking the pool.
After opening its doors on Saturday (21 November), around a dozen or so visitors went to give it a go.
Speaking about the pool, Przemyslaw Kacprzak, a 39-year-old diving instructor, said it was a very exciting moment.
He said: "There are no magnificent fish or coral reefs here so it is no substitute for the sea but it is definitely a good place to learn and to train in order to dive safely in open water.
The pool is 148 feet (45 metres) deep. Credit: Deepspot
"And it's fun! It's like a kindergarten for divers!"
Jerzy Nowacki, a 30-year-old forestry officer and diving novice, echoed these sentiments and said it's a fantastic experience.
He said: "For my first time, we went down five metres but you can see all the way to the bottom - the wreck, the caves - it's magnificent!"

While Deepspot's director Michal Braszczynski, a 47-year-old diving enthusiast, said the centre is going to be a hub for training firefighters and the army.
He added: "There are many scenarios for training and we can also test different equipment."
However, Deepspot will only hold the record of the world's deepest pool for a few short months, as a 50m (164ft) pool called the Blue Abyss is currently under construction in Colchester, the UK and is set to open early next year.
The brainchild of ex-forces diving instructor and technology consultant John Vickers, planning for the project began back in September 2014.
It boasts a series of tunnels to explore. Credit: Deepspot
Vickers commented: "As Apollo 11 Astronaut, Michael Collins said, 'It's human nature to stretch, to go, to see, to understand. Exploration is not a choice really; it's an imperative.'
"I wanted to push boundaries, to go beyond the expected, to plan for the future, not just for today. This is a huge undertaking, but the reality will be a legacy for generations to come."
According to the Blue Abyss website, the 'unique' aquatic centre will house the largest and deepest indoor pool of its kind globally.
"The pool will have several entrance points and feature multi-stepped depths to accommodate for a variety of activities and simultaneous use, leading down to the 50m shaft," the website explains.
"On one side of the pool, a large table-like area at 12m will be able to house, for example, a mock section of the International Space Station for commercial astronaut training."

Q: Assembly syntax for Tc2xx Tricore I am currently working with the TC275 tricore chip, and am exploring the startup code taken from the example on Hightec free tricore entry toolchain. I'm wondering about the effect of square brackets in assembly statements. As I worked with ARM core before, when square brackets are surrounded by a register, it means a reference to the value that the address of that register is storing.
But for Tricore, for example with LEA instruction: "lea %a14, [%a14]lo:__crt0_config". This instruction means something like taking the low 16 bit value of the __crt0_config function address plus the low 16 bit value available in register a14 and then assigning it to the low 16 bit in register a14.
I refer to the documentation in the userguide of Hightec free tricore entry toolchain and it says:
Indirection:  If an operand (register or constant) is used to access memory indirectly, you may, at your option, wrap it in square brackets (e.g. [r4]). This is completely in compliance with the specification mentioned above; however, there are no options which let you specify if the use of such indirection specifiers (read: square brackets) is illegal, optional, or mandatory. This means you can't change the default, which is "optional". Of course, if you use indirection specifiers at places where they're not allowed, you'll get an error message, which again is compliant with the Assembler Mnemonics Specification.
In addition to the lea instruction, there are also ld.w and st.w instruction that also use square brackets (but the mov command does not). I think this is related to addressing mode.
Please help me understand the problem.
Thanks!!!

A:
I'm wondering about the effect of square brackets in assembly statements. As I worked with ARM core before, when square brackets are surrounded by a register, it means a reference to the value that the address of that register is storing.

That's the same for TriCore
However, in ARM assembly language you would write [R4, #1234], in TriCore assembly language you would write [R4]1234.
So on an ARM CPU, you would write [R4, #lo:__crt0_config] instead of [R4]lo:__crt0_config.
Specifying a constant using lo:xxx is a feature of the tool chain, not of the CPU.
As far as I know, lo:xxx is the low 10 (not 16) bits of the address of the symbol (__crt0_config), sign-extended (this means: interpreted as signed 10-bit number).
And: TriCore does not have general-purpose registers (R0-R12), but it has registers only intended for data (D0-D15) and registers only intended for addresses (A0-A15).

In addition to the lea instruction, there are also ld.w and st.w instruction that also use square brackets (but the mov command does not). I think this is related to addressing mode.

Just like in ARM assembler, the brackets are used for memory addresses:
In ARM assembler, you write LDR R4, [R5] but you don't write MOV R4, [R5].
The LEA instruction (which also exists on x86 CPUs) is some "special case":
It takes a memory address as second argument and you can pass any valid memory addressing mode:
If the ARM CPU supported LEA, LEA R0, [R1] would be equal to MOV R0, R1.
However, for the second operand, you would have the same options as for the LDR instruction, so you could use LEA R0, [R1, #4]! or LEA R0, [R1], #4.
The LEA instruction is often used to do some "complex" calculations. In your case, it is simply mis-used instead of ADD because there is no ADD instruction that can add 10 bits to an address register.

I refer to the documentation in the userguide of Hightec ...

Did you also have a look at Infineon's official instruction set specification?

Note 1—Organization
PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust ("PMT" or the "Company") is a specialty finance company, which, through its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly-owned), invests primarily in residential mortgage-related assets. The Company operates in four segments: credit sensitive strategies, interest rate sensitive strategies, correspondent production, and corporate:
The credit sensitive strategies segment represents the Company's investments in credit risk transfer ("CRT") arrangements, including CRT agreements ("CRT Agreements") and CRT securities (together, "CRT arrangements"), non-Agency subordinate bonds, distressed loans and real estate.
The interest rate sensitive strategies segment represents the Company's investments in mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"), excess servicing spread ("ESS") purchased from PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. ("PFSI"), a publicly-traded mortgage banking and investment management company, Agency and senior non-Agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and the related interest rate hedging activities.
The correspondent production segment represents the Company's operations aimed at serving as an intermediary between lenders and the capital markets by purchasing, pooling and reselling newly originated prime credit quality loans either directly or in the form of MBS, using the services of PNMAC Capital Management, LLC ("PCM" or the "Manager") and PennyMac Loan Services, LLC ("PLS"), both indirect controlled subsidiaries of PFSI.
The Company primarily sells the loans it acquires through its correspondent production activities to government-sponsored entities such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") or to PLS for sale into securitizations guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"). Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae are each referred to as an "Agency" and, collectively, as the "Agencies."
The corporate segment includes management fees, corporate expense amounts and certain interest income.

Second, I find it hard to believe that the British press is critcizing CBS over photos Princess Di's crash. I don't particularly care one way or another, but come on, the British press is practically synonymous with bad taste and questionable news-gathering tactics. I'm supposed to believe that CBS did something in poorer taste than they have by broadcasting xerox copies of photos that are seven years old?
Anyways, aside from those two bits of current-ish events, life is eh. I haven't resolved anything since I last wrote. I should get back to work now. I'll probably post more later.

MIT Looking Into Allegations Against Author Junot Diaz
BOSTON (AP) — MIT says it's looking into allegations of sexual misconduct against author Junot Diaz.
The Cambridge, Massachusetts university said earlier this week that it doesn't tolerate sexual harassment but also strives to protect the rights of both the accusers and accused.
A spokeswoman didn't immediately comment Wednesday on the status of the inquiry. Diaz is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and creative writing professor.
The Cambridge Public Library also announced Wednesday it has canceled its annual Summer Reading Kick-Off featuring Diaz. It had been slated for May 16.
Author Zinzi Clemmons took to Twitter on Friday to say that Diaz forcibly kissed her several years ago. Other female writers also shared their encounters with Diaz on social media. Diaz has said he takes responsibility for his past.

Q: Ansible, write certain elements from variable to a file My Ansible playbook is currently printing certificates that are about to expire to the screen. These are my plays:
- name: Setting cert facts.
      set_fact:
        certData: "{{ certs.json | json_query('items[*].{expires: validityEnd, cn: cn, serial: serialHex, id: id}') }}"
      no_log: true

- name: Certs expiring within {{ expireDays }} days.
      debug:
        msg:
          - "Following certs have expired or are expiring within {{ expireDays }} days"
          - "ID: {{ item.id }}"
          - "CN: {{ item.cn }}"
          - "Serial: {{ item.serial }}"
          - "Expiration Date: {{ item.expires }}"
          - "Expiring in:  {{ expire_days }} days."
      vars:
        expire_days: "{{ (( item.expires | regex_replace('\\+00:00') | to_datetime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')) - (ansible_date_time.iso8601 | to_datetime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')) ).days }}"
      loop: "{{ certData }}"
      loop_control:
        label: "{{ item.cn }}  expires: {{ (item.expires | regex_replace('\\+00:00') | to_datetime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S') - (ansible_date_time.iso8601 | to_datetime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')) ).days }} days."
      when: expire_days | int <= expireDays
      register: expired_certs

Then I want to print only the "cn" values to a file, preferably in comma-delimited or new-line delimited format.
I tried doing this, but it prints nothing to the file:
- name: Create file with expiring certs.
      copy:
        dest: "./cert_expiring.txt"
        content: "{{ expired_certs.results | json_query('item[*].{id: id, cn: cn}') }}"

This is what an element in {{ expired_certs }} looks like:
"msg": {
    "changed": false,
    "msg": "All items completed",
    "results": [{
        "ansible_loop_var": "item",
        "changed": false,
        "failed": false,
        "item": {
            "cn": "node1.corp.com",
            "expires": "2020-11-05T15:20:18+00:00",
            "id": 705,
            "serial": "1111"
        },
        "msg": [
            "Following certs have expired or are expiring within 90 days",
            "ID: 705",
            "CN: node1.corp.com",
            "Serial: 1111",
            "Expiration Date: 2020-11-05T15:20:18+00:00",
            "Expiring in:  -195 days."
        ]
    }]
}

A: I believe I may have figured out a way to accomplish this.
I changed the "Certs expiring within {{ expireDays }} days." play to this:
- name: Certs expiring within {{ expireDays }} days.
      lineinfile:
        dest: "./cert_expiring.txt"
        line: "{{ item.cn }}"
        state: present
        create: yes
      vars:
        expire_days: "{{ (( item.expires | regex_replace('\\+00:00') | to_datetime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')) - (ansible_date_time.iso8601 | to_datetime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')) ).days }}"
      loop: "{{ certData }}"
      loop_control:
        label: "{{ item.cn }}  expires: {{ (item.expires | regex_replace('\\+00:00') | to_datetime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S') - (ansible_date_time.iso8601 | to_datetime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')) ).days }} days."
      when: expire_days | int <= expireDays

This seems to be printing one CN per line.

Researchers integrate diamond/boron nitride crystalline layers for use in high-power devices
(Nanowerk News) Materials researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new technique to deposit diamond on the surface of cubic boron nitride (c-BN), integrating the two materials into a single crystalline structure ("Direct Conversion of h-BN into c-BN and Formation of Epitaxial c-BN/Diamond Heterostructures").
"This could be used to create high-power devices, such as the solid state transformers needed to create the next generation 'smart' power grid," says Jay Narayan, the John C. Fan Distinguished Chair Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at NC State and lead author of a paper describing the research.
"It could also be used to create cutting tools, high-speed machining and deep sea drilling equipment," Narayan says. "Diamond is hard, but it tends to oxidize, transforming into graphite – which is softer. A coating of c-BN would prevent oxidation. Diamond also interacts with iron, making it difficult to use with steel tools. Again, c-BN would address the problem."
C-BN is a form of boron nitride that has a cubic crystalline structure. It has similar properties to diamond, but holds several advantages: c-BN has a higher bandgap, which is attractive for use in high-power devices; c-BN can be "doped" to give it positively- and negatively-charged layers, which means it could be used to make transistors; and it forms a stable oxide layer on its surface when exposed to oxygen, making it stable at high temperatures. Earlier this year, Narayan unveiled a faster, less expensive technique for creating c-BN.
To create the epitaxial, or single crystal, diamond/c-BN structures, the researchers begin by creating a substrate of c-BN. This is done using the new technique Narayan published earlier this year. They then use a process called pulse-laser deposition – which is done at 500 degrees Celsius and an optimized atmospheric pressure – to deposit diamond on the surface of the c-BN. The pulse-laser technique allows them to control the thickness of the diamond layer.
"This is all done in a single chamber, making the process more energy- and time-efficient," Narayan says. "You use only solid state carbon and BN, and it's more environmentally benign than conventional techniques."
The researchers were also able to deposit diamond on the c-BN using the conventional chemical vapor deposition technique, which utilizes methane gas, hydrogen gas and a tungsten filament at 900 °C.
"The chemical vapor deposition approach works, but our pulsed laser deposition approach works much better, doesn't involve toxic gases, and can be done at much lower temperatures," Narayan says.
Narayan has co-founded a company, Q-Carbon LLC, which has licensed the technique and is working to commercialize it for multiple applications.

Haunted by financial problems, a Long Beach cemetery ponders death
Sunnyside Cemetery along Willow Street in Long Beach has announced plans to shut its gates if a deal cannot be reached with the city to purchase the property.
(Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times)
By Giulia McDonnell Nieto del Rio
The ground at Sunnyside Cemetery embraces 17 of Linda Meador's kin.
Her mother and brothers and aunts and great-grandparents are buried under the dusty tombstones here. So embedded is this ground in Meador's life that she's even a board member for the cemetery. Every day she works at Sunnyside, the 71-year-old Meador makes the short walk from her office to pay respects to her mother.
Now, she worries that the cemetery, which opened in 1906, may close its gates.
"I go out and walk and see my family all the time, so it becomes personal for me. Very, very personal," Meador said. "Every day I'm here I go by my mother's grave and say, 'Hi, I'm here, Mom.'"
A sordid history of corruption and years of financial problems have brought Sunnyside Cemetery to the brink.
In 1994, the owner of Sunnyside, Dean A. Dempsey, stole more than $500,000 from the cemetery's endowment fund. He used some of the money to pay for a Mercedes-Benz. Dempsey was convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to four years in prison, according to media reports two years later.
Since then, the cemetery has been plagued with money issues.
The grass at Sunnyside is turning brown, and rusted barbed wire tops the exterior walls. Dirt covers many of the names of the deceased on slant markers that lie flat on the ground. It's hard to walk between the monuments amid holes dug by gophers, and a dilapidated tractor is stranded on one of the paths.
The troubled Sunnyside Cemetery opened in 1906.
There aren't enough workers or funds to maintain the grounds, board members say. By the end of August, if an agreement with the city of Long Beach is not reached, Sunnyside Cemetery could be headed for closure.
But both sides have been working on a potential deal to transfer the cemetery to the city, according to Long Beach officials and cemetery board members.
Meador said that Sunnyside board members voted unanimously to do this. Meador said she left a meeting with Long Beach officials last week feeling hopeful after nights spent waking up from the stress. Still, she worried about leaving the 13-acre burial ground in the hands of others after having spent so much time and emotion here.
"The other night I woke up at 3 a.m. sobbing," Meador said. "I feel like I'm letting my family and all the families here down."
The contrast between Sunnyside and the Long Beach Municipal Cemetery next door is dramatic. There, sprinklers are abundant amid the bright green grass, and leafy trees provide shade throughout the grounds.
Long Beach is working on the proposed transfer, said Johnny Vallejo, business operations manager for the city's economic development department. Once the details are worked out, Vallejo said, city officials will prepare a report for the City Council for a vote on the transfer.
There is no definitive date yet for the vote, Vallejo said. If Sunnyside is transferred, the city of Long Beach will receive ownership of the property as well as the cemetery endowment, but city officials are still figuring out the specifics of the transfer — and all that it could entail.
"The city recognizes the significance of Sunnyside and its importance as a historic resource for the city," said Vallejo. "It has had a great impact and affinity for many families in Long Beach."
Vallejo said Long Beach has been in contact with California's cemetery board about what would happen if the transfer is not able to happen. But, he said, no matter what happens, he doesn't expect the state to take ownership of Sunnyside.
As she walked through the plots, navigating around gravestones and gopher holes on Wednesday morning, Meador noticed that the two American flags that long adorned the grounds had vanished. Sunnyside Cemetery had lowered them to half-staff to honor L.A. County Sheriff's Deputy Joseph Solano, who was shot and killed two weeks ago.
"Now I have to call the police," Meador said, throwing her hands up in the air.
As the cemetery's condition declined, Sunnyside experienced a rash of crimes. A few years ago, about 350 headstones were stolen. Bronze plaques were taken from some of the graves. Then there were other calamities, like flooding that caused some graves to sink, Meador said.
J.E. Shrewsbury, the first fire chief of Long Beach; C.J. Walker, Long Beach's first mayor in the 20th century; and Long Beach's first police officer shot and killed in the line of duty are all buried at Sunnyside. The Historical Society of Long Beach hosts an annual tour of the site.
Mike Miner, who was the manager of the cemetery until November, said Sunnyside holds a special place in his heart. He had to retire as manager because of medical reasons, but is now on the board of directors. Sunnyside has not been able to find another manager to run the cemetery.
Miner worked on the property for 25 years, tending to the plots, answering phones, and fixing the sprinklers, among many other duties.
"My wife and my father are buried there," he said. "And I'm going to be buried there, too."

BBQ with Schwarzenegger for Bayern delegation
VIP dinner
Created on 18-07-2019 at 21:00 PM
Hollywood heavyweights and football VIPs came together for dinner in LA - and the menu included Bavarian Kaiserschmarrn cream, just like you get at home: Arnold Schwarzenegger invited members of the FC Bayern executive board headed by CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge to his villa, with the list of 'co-stars' including the likes of Silvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren and actor Chris Pratt. "It was a wonderful evening with a charming host who loves Munich and wanted to know everything about FC Bayern," commented Rummenigge after the dinner in Beverly Hills.
Before Austrian-born 'Arnie' hit the big time in the USA, initially as a film star and later as a politician, he lived in Munich for two years in the 1960s. At the age of 20 he won the 'Mr. Universe' contest and headed off into the wider world, but he remains very attached to the Bavarian capital and is extremely fond of FC Bayern. The 71-year-old was visibly thrilled with the framed replica shirt signed by all the players and presented to him by Rummenigge. "Arnie has always kept his feet firmly on the ground. He's the most normal normal person of them all," declared star chef Alfons Schuhbeck, a friend of Schwarzenegger for more than 30 years and who personally prepared the Kaiserschmarrn as a special gift. "Whenever he comes to Munich, he has schnitzel with potato salad, followed by Kaiserschmarrn. He loves it because it reminds him of his home and his mother," Schuhbeck reported, revealing that the BBQ in LA featured "a bit of beef, a bit of pork, nothing too fancy in this heat."
At the start of the Audi Summer Tour, Rummenigge joked that Robert Lewandowski had a body like the "Terminator" – and now the CEO has benefited from a first-hand impression. In the final analysis, both the striker and the Hollywood star can be proud of themselves. Schuhbeck, who met Schwarzenegger in a Munich fitness studio back in the day and has trained with him in LA, offered this summary: "If Arnie was at a competitive weight, there would obviously be differences. A bodybuilder has different requirements compared to a professional footballer. But Robert is, of course, a superb pro athlete: perfectly trained and honed for football." Can the FCB players learn anything from Schwarzenegger? Schuhbeck believes they can: "Absolutely. He used to face a lot of resistance, but when he wants something, he makes it happen, with heart and soul. He's an inspiration, yesterday, today, in the future. And of course the FCB players can take that as a role model."
The Hollywood star will soon make a reciprocal visit to Munich, Schuhbeck confided. Schwarzenegger, who visited the Allianz Arena three years ago and witnessed a 1-1 draw against FC Köln, has promised a repeat appearance the next time his schedule takes him to Munich. "He's become a real FC Bayern fan," said Schuhbeck. "His catchphrase 'I'll be back' is legendary - and that's what's going to happen."

50 blockbuster days of Khaidi No 150: Chiranjeevi's film sets 6 records, proves nobody can beat 'The Boss'
Megastar Chiranjeevi's comeback film, Khaidi No. 150 which released on 11 January 2017 has went on to become the first Telugu blockbuster of the year.
Sree Prasad Nair
Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi's comeback film, Khaidi No 150 has successfully completed its 50-day theatrical run at the Box Office worldwide.
Directed by VV Vinayak and produced by Chiranjeevi's son and actor-producer Ram Charan, the film is a Telugu remake of Ilayathalapathy Vijay's Tamil blockbuster Kaththi. The film which had released on 11 January 2017 went on to become the first Telugu blockbuster of the year.
Khaidi No 150 was a massive success overseas as well. On its glorious occasion of 50-theatrical days, here are 6 records set by the Chiranjeevi blockbuster:
1) Khaidi No 150 is the only second Telugu film to cross Rs. 50 crore on its opening day after Baahubali:The Beginning. The Chiranjeevi starrer opened to an earth shattering response with collections almost at par with the SS Rajamouli directorial at several places. The film is also the third highest film with highest opening day collections after Baahubali and Rajinikanth blockbuster Kabali.
2) Khaidi No 150 is the second fastest Telugu film to join the elite club of Rs. 100 crore. The action-entertainer hit the century mark worldwide in 5-theatrical days. The film is also the first Rs. 100 crore grosser of Chiranjeevi.
3) Upon its release, Khaidi No 150 has broken Mahesh Babu starrer Srimanthudu and Jr. NTR – Mohanlal starrer Janatha Garage to become the second fastest Telugu film to cross $1 Million and $2 Million respectively at the US Box Office. The film's final gross at the end of its theatrical run at the US Box Office is $ 2.5 Million.
4) Khaidi No 150 has set an all-time record in Uttarandhra, Andhra Pradesh
by crossing the lifetime collections of Baahubali in 10-theatrical days. The Chiranjeevi starrer has grossed a terrific Rs 10 crore in Uttarandhra to shatter the record set by the 2015 Prabhas–Rana Daggubati epic blockbuster.
5) Khaidi No 150 has overpowered all the existing non-Baahubali records at the Telugu Box Office. On its second Saturday, the megastar film has shattered the lifetime worldwide record of Rs 85.2 crore, which was set by the 2015 Mahesh Babu blockbuster Srimanthudu.
6) By the end of its 50-theatrical days, Khaidi No 150 has grossed a whopping Rs. 164 crore worldwide to become the all-time second highest grosser in Tollywood cinema history with a worldwide share Rs. 104 crore.

Liu Xiaofeng (academic)
Liu Xiaofeng (born 1956; Chinese: 刘小枫) is a contemporary Chinese scholar and a professor at Renmin University of China. He has been considered the prototypical example of what is called a cultural Christian (Chinese: 文化基督徒; pinyin: wénhuà jīdūtú), meaning a believer who may lack a specific church identification or affiliation, and was, along with He Guanghu, one of the main forerunners of the academic field of Sino-Christian Theology (simplified Chinese: 汉语神学; traditional Chinese: 漢語神學; pinyin: hànyǔ shénxué).[1] However, in recent years, his interest has shifted from studies in Christian theology to the political theories of Leo Strauss.
Liu Xiaofeng was born in Chongqing, China, in April 1956.
He completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in German language and literature at Sichuan International Studies University before beginning his Master of Arts in aesthetics at Peking University in 1982, completing it in 1985. He later received a scholarship to study at the University of Basel in Switzerland in April 1989, where he completed his Ph.D in Christian theology in 1993 on a theological investigation into Max Scheler's phenomenology and critique of modernity.[2] He also undertook an extensive translation effort of historical and contemporary Christian texts. A modern writer commented, "Liu's writings have had a major impact in China not only on those Chinese who think of themselves as Christian, but on those who are interested in broad analysis of China in the context of the world's current cultural and philosophical era."[3] However, his interpretation of Strauss and other modern Western thinkers has been criticized as one-sided and even deeply flawed, with critics claiming that his defense of the Chinese Communist Party, and Mao Zedong in particular, does not go well together with Christianity, nor with Classical Western civilization as described by Strauss and his disciples [4]
He is a faculty member of Renmin University of China in the School of Liberal Arts.

"Teacher's Pet" is the tenth episode of the second season of the psychological thriller television series The Following, which premiered on March 24, 2014, on the Fox network. The episode was written by Brett Mahoney and directed by Marcos Siega.

Summary
A flashback shows Claire Matthews in the hospital with Mike Weston as he and Scott Turner tell Claire that the only way to keep her safe is to lead everyone to believe she died, including Ryan Hardy, though she feels she has to tell Ryan the truth. Back in present day, Weston fills Claire in on everything that has gone on in the past year. Claire wants to kill Joe Carroll and insists on joining Weston in helping find Joe, but he advises her to stay in protection.

Robert brings Joe and Emma to meet up with Korban members that wish to help as Joe's messengers. He later meets with a bigger group of Korban members to spread some of his ideas and drill in his message of "no redemption without blood."

Agent Clarke brings Ryan to talk to Dr. Strauss, who's in custody. Strauss says he has no involvement with Lance but says Ryan is essentially a follower of Joe due to his obsession. Ryan calls Carrie Cooke and says he'd like to go on the record about the case. During her next TV broadcast, she announces that Strauss has been captured by the FBI and is fully cooperating. This brings Joe to call Jana. When he calls, Ryan answers and the FBI attempts to track Joe's phone to find a location, but they're unable to.

A flashback shows Joe when he was a student of Strauss'. Strauss says he understands that Joe was sent to America by his uncle after his parents both died in England. Strauss later brings Joe to a lab where a dead woman's body lies on a table as he continues mentoring Joe.

The group of Korban members sent as messengers (Robert, Mallory, Lucas, Patrick, and Tilda) gather on a street sidewalk. Tilda selects a random man across the street to be the victim as Lucas proceeds to stab him while whispering "no redemption without blood" and places a piece of paper with that phase on his clothes. The group next goes to a house where they select a family after seeing the father outside with a dog. They kill the father, his wife and their son and write the phrase on the wall in blood. Police and FBI later show up and determine the murders were done at random.

Back at Korban, Joe strangles a cat in front of another group of Korban members as he further explains his ideas. Joe allows anybody feeling uncomfortable to go off and take some time to think after a member, Carla, says that killing is not "their ways." Mandy joins that group as they leave. Later, Emma finds Mandy and tells her that everyone who walked out was put into Korban's underground cell, but Mandy was spared as Joe instructed them to give her another chance. Mandy confronts Emma, believing her to be jealous over Joe thinking she's special. The two separate after a brief argument.

Mallory and Patrick go to the restaurant that Mallory was previously fired from and Mallory picks her victim. Max tells Ryan that FBI facial recognition identified Mallory. Ryan pieces together an earlier clue from Joe goes with Weston to the restaurant. Mallory follows her target to the bathroom and pulls her knife, but the woman fights back and runs out of the bathroom only to be grabbed by Patrick and held hostage as the FBI and police raid the restaurant. Ryan tries convincing Mallory to give up information on where Joe is. She drops her knife but Patrick gives up the hostage and slits Mallory's throat before she's able to give any information away. Patrick is then shot dead. Back at Korban, Joe anoints Tilda and Lucas after they return from their mission by slitting his arm and smearing his blood on their foreheads.

Carrie shows up at Ryan's apartment and tries to convince Ryan that he saved people at the restaurant and also showed her a bit of trust before the two fool around in Ryan's bed.

Claire tells Scott Turner that she's not going to Arizona, where witness protection wants to move her, because she wants to see Ryan Hardy.

Reception

Critical response
Sonia Saraiya of The A.V. Club rated the episode a D, saying "It's the subtext of the show that makes my skin crawl." Dan Hajducky of Den of Geek gave the episode another positive review, saying "This week's episode sends the rapidly evolving plot flying forward, while also giving us the long-awaited origin story of Joe Carroll." Another positive review came from Mark Trammell of TV Equals. stating about the plot "we saw how being a cult leader of a religious sect maybe wasn't as far off the mark as one might think."

Ratings
The episode received the largest post air-date 18–49 rating percent increase from DVR viewings, bringing the ratings up 88% compared to the shows it competed with on its premiere night.

You are here: Home > world-cup-2014 > England and Italy to play out another bore draw
England and Italy to play out another bore draw
Eric Roberts 2014-06-12 in World Cup 2014
There is no bigger match in the first batch of 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil group games than England versus Italy and, with so much on the line for both the Three Lions and the Azzurri, one thinks that the clash screams goalless draw.
The 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Group D is one of those pools in which there are, on paper, three fairly strong sides and one weak team. Uruguay got the best draw went it was given the chance to have the first crack at Costa Rica, leaving England and Italy to face off in a match that neither former FIFA World Cup winner will want to lose given the dreadful record of first-game losers qualifying for the next stage.
Photographs of the playing surface at the Amazonia Arena in Manaus made headlines around the world this week, with the images appearing to show that the pitch was little better than a cow paddock. An uneven pitch and weather conditions that would tax even the fittest player mean that there is a big chance of an ugly spectacle between England and Italy.
And it is not as though England and Italy do not have a long history of ugly spectacles. For example, England and Italy played out a 0-0 draw in the UEFA Euro 2012 quarter-finals in which the Three Lions held on for dear life against the vastly technically superior Azzurri only for the penalty competition to go the way of Cesare Prandelli's side.
Bookmakers are not silly and they are trying to make betting on what one thinks are the obvious options for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Group D match between England and Italy as unattractive as possible. However, one thinks that odds of 3.00 with several firms, including Bet365 and BetVictor, are more than fair and that, with regards to correct scores, the odds of 6.50 on offer from several companies, including Coral, Sky Bet and William Hill, represent decent value as well. Of the odds-on options, under two and a half goals is a rationale play but the prices about that eventuality are understandably low.
Colombia and Uruguay are odds on across the board to kick off their 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil campaigns with wins over Greece and Costa Rica respectively. One agrees with bookmakers that the South American teams should prevail.
Unbeaten in seven games, Colombia has managed to kick on in spite of Radamel Falcao's anterior cruciate ligament injury preventing him from playing since getting hurt in January. Colombia drew with both Argentina and Brazil in 2013 so it has proven that it can match it with the big boys and, while any side would miss a striker of Falcao's class, one should note that most of his international goals en route to the 2014 FIFA World Cup were scored either versus the CONMEBOL area's lightweight teams or from the penalty spot.
Greece has struggled to score goals against decent sides for quite some time now and, on a line through common opponent Bolivia, Colombia is much the stronger of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Group C combatants. Colombia beat 5-0 at home, while Greece beat Bolivia 2-1 in the United States of America. Backing Colombia at odds of 1.91 with Bet365, Coral and Sky Bet to beat Greece makes sense.
Like Colombia, Uruguay is on a seven-game unbeaten run and it should account for Costa Rica, one of the weakest teams to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil. One suspects that Uruguay's defence will not be able to repel sides that are stronger than Costa Rica but the flat-track bully is justifiably odds of 1.50 with Coral to defeat Los Ticos.
Finally, if there is to be a 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil shock on the third day of matches, Japan may be the team that provides it in its Group C clash with Cote d'Ivoire.
Japan has strung together five wins in the lead up to the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, including a 3-2 away victory over Belgium, and one thinks that its style of play may cause headaches for Cote d'Ivoire, which drew 2-2 away to Belgium four months after the Samurai Blue's road success.
What does look nailed on for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Group C game between Japan and Cote d'Ivoire is a fairly high score since the Samurai Blue have kept one clean sheet in their last nine matches and Les Elephants have not shut out an opponent in any of their last seven games.
Japan is available at odds of 3.10 with Betfair's sportsbook to beat Cote d'Ivoire, while the 2014 FIFA World Cup Group C match is trading at odds of 2.05 with several bookmakers, including Ladbrokes, Sportingbet and Youwin, to be one in which neither side manages to keep a clean sheet.

An image published in late December last year by satirical cartoonist Ali Dilem in the daily newspaper Liberté entitled "Algerians get ready to celebrate New Year" depicted a puzzled looking Algerian standing in front of a one-page-per-day calendar that reads "1962". Alarmed, the man desperately tears away at the calendar and a pile of pages mounts up behind him, all bearing exactly the same date: 1962. The image of an Algerian Groundhog Day seems to work on two different levels.
Ali Dilem, Liberté, 31 December 2012
Firstly, and most obviously, there is a sense that one can never really get beyond independence when talking about the past in Algeria. The monumental nature of the independence struggle and the unanimist narrative on the past created by the state after 1962 totally crush any discussion of what has happened in Algeria since independence. There are several reasons for this. The first is that the generation that led Algeria to independence remains in power, though the recent deaths of figures like Abdelhamid Mehri, Ahmed Ben Bella, Chadli Bendjedid, Pierre Chaulet and just yesterday Ali Kafi, points to its rapid passing.
In contrast, the generation that grew up after independence has been used to executing the decisions taken by its elders, and has little meaningful experience of political leadership. Mirroring this dominance of the war generation within Algerian politics, academic focus on Algeria remains largely the preserve of a generation of scholars for whom the war of independence was an equally defining moment. As a result, the experience of colonialism and the war of independence that followed have often been assumed by historians to be the only valid keys to understanding present-day Algeria. Reinforcing this trend is the fact that French academics continue to dominate the study of Algeria, which has meant a focus on events and periods that have marked France, most notably the colonial period and the war.
Focus on these periods has contributed to Algeria's history being viewed as almost pathologically violent and overly psychologised depictions of a 'traumatised society'. Furthermore, a purely postcolonial approach to Algerian history perversely seems to continually recast Algeria as eternally tied to France. With this in mind, and without wishing to undermine the importance of what where truly cataclysmic events, it is possible to see how a continued focus on the war and the colonial period by both the Algerian state and French academia unintentionally and uncomfortably work together to close off any focus on other periods of Algerian history, particularly those following independence. After all, if the history of Algeria is that of the colonial period and the war of independence, 5 July 1962 becomes the end – rather than the beginning – of something. This goes some way to explaining the surreal atmosphere in Algiers last July, when the country was supposed to be celebrating 50 years of independence, but managed to do so without mentioning anything that had happened over the last 50 years.
As a historian working on the post-independence period on the ground in Algiers, I strongly identify with the exasperated individual in Dilem's cartoon. I mostly end up frustrated when attending conferences on Algerian history, hoping in vain to find something that even mentions the post-independence period, or when entering a bookshop in Algiers and finding nothing but yet more analyses of the war and its heroes. The effect on the younger generation is impressive, especially those in the two final years of secondary school, when the history syllabus focuses primarily on colonialism, the war of independence and its surrounding context. When asking a group of 17 year old girls in Bab el-Oued to place events and periods in Algerian history on a timeline, Independence Day was immediately placed in the middle of the timeline. Other dates and periods followed: the French invasion, the war of independence, the Soummam Congress, the Ottoman period. After everyone had had their turn at placing something on the timeline, the space from independence to the present remained completely empty. It seems that Francis Fukuyama got his dates mixed up. In Algeria, history ended on 5 July 1962.
However, this does not always hold true. While the crushing weight of 1962 is seemingly all pervasive, it does not prevent people from making continual reference to the post-independence period when talking about the present. People I have spoken to make multiple and overlapping references to more recent pasts – notably the socialist period under Boumediene as a kind of anchoring point that is viewed – and therefore recast and reconstructed – through intervening periods; the increased liberalisation, inequality, corruption of the 1980s; the Islamisation of society and violence of the 1990s; and the stability and consumerism of the 2000s. If Algerians are making judgements about the past – and by extension, the present – based on a broader, and more recent, set of periods than the colonial period, why is this not reflected in research approaches? Beyond conventional postcolonial approaches in history, we should perhaps be asking to what extent Algerian society is at once postcolonial, postsocialist, and even postislamist.
Academic discussions aside, Dilem's image – like most references to the past in Algeria – says something about the present from an Algerian perspective: the sense that every day is the same as the last and there seems little hope for change.
This seems to be a familiar feeling for many of the young people I know in Bab el-Oued, because of the general lack of opportunity, crushing boredom and lack of spaces in which to merely spend time. Hanging out on the square or in the street day in, day out, making a tiny coffee in a paper cup last for hours is punctuated only by the occasional weary suggestion of "Wesh? Nḍerbu dura?" (Shall we go for a wander then?)
Algerian Arabic has a word that pinpoints the feeling produced by this daily routine: leggya, a word that is almost always pronounced with a scowl and whose meaning lies somewhere between stultifying boredom, cynicism and disgust at the world around. However, aside from the biting sense of sarcastic humour that spares no one – not least Algerians themselves – the glue that seems to hold much of Algiers' poorer neighbourhoods together are the social bonds created around the ḥouma (neighbourhood). In its most reduced sense, the ḥouma can be smaller than a city block and be so small as to not really have a specific name. Here, ḥouma represents a crucial notion of a space in which everyone really does know everyone, the borders of which begin to fray and merge into other ḥoumāt as people gradually become more unfamiliar. While many in Bab el-Oued lament the general state of urban decay and complain that relations between members of the ḥouma are not as warm and trusting in their dealings with one another as once they were during the Belle Époque of the 1970s, the close-knit relationships still seem to contain such phenomena as regular mutual visits by children to apartments in the same building, cordial relationships between neighbours based on strict codes of politeness centred on greetings and goodbyes, and frequent borrowing and general problem solving through networks based on longstanding shared personal relationships.
Nostalgia for the past is, in this sense, a less Algeria-specific and more transversal phenomenon articulating the feeling among older people of dropping standards. For some young people, the sense of being mleggi (someone experiencing leggya), mchoumer (unemployed) or underpaid and zewēli (poor) is almost worn as a defensive badge of pride, producing social relations based on a strong sense of solidarity that serve to lessen the hardships of daily life. In contrast, others are making money through the retail trade and clientelist networks. The signs of material success are all around, from the latest Air Max trainers and flat screen televisions that sell like hotcakes, to the ubiquitous yet highly desirable brand new white Seat Ibiza sporting tell-tale 00 number plates.1 The emergence of a consumer society and the perception of a widening gap between haves and have-nots clashes with a persistent and strongly-rooted tendency within Algerian society towards egalitarianism and belief in social justice.
This clash fuels the recurrent socially held narrative on Algeria's Belle Époque during the socialist era of the 1960s and 1970s, and articulates conflicting tendencies in Algerian society that point to the fact that 1962 is far from the be-all-and-end-all of Algerian history.

Salam. My name is Moutaz from Algeria. I read your article, it is good. You mentioned a lot of behaviours from Algerian people, it is good. But did you visit Guelma before? and the town that the president Houari Boumedian was born in? Too much informations you can find it in east of country of algeria about the era of power of the Ex president of Algeria Houari Boumadian.

Why no laws to crack down on sectarian and racist chanting yet?
Alliance Culture, Arts and Leisure Spokesperson Kieran McCarthy MLA has criticised the Executive over that fact that the Assembly has been up and running for nearly two months, and still no concrete plans to stop sectarian and racist chanting at football matches have been put forward by either the NIO or DCAL.
Opposition MLA Kieran McCarthy said: "Devolution has been up and running for almost two months and still we have had no action on creating laws to crack down prejudice at football grounds. The Executive should be placing more pressure on the NIO to act on this one.
"The Assembly is now in recess and by the time MLAs return to business, the football season will be in full flight. I know that it might take some time to enact such laws; however, pressure should have been applied on the NIO by the Executive since the return of devolution at the start of May.
"Alliance has long campaigned for legislation similar to the Football Offences Act that exists in England, to help us eradicate all forms of prejudice from the terraces. Alliance at least is pushing the NIO for progress on creating such laws, even if the Executive is not."
