Rick's Six: Davenport OKs stadium renovations, guilty verdict in death of Davenport man, and another heat advisory
Aug 26, 2021 Updated Aug 26, 2021
A good hot and muggy Thursday to all. Very hot and humid weather will hang around the Quad-Cities for another day. That means another National Weather Service heat advisory will be in effect for the Quad-City region from noon today until 8 p.m. tonight. Some area schools without air conditioning, including those in Morning Sun and Wapello, are dismissing classes early today because of the heat.
The heat advisory states:
• Heat-index values up to 104 degrees are expected.
• Advisory is for portions of northeast Missouri, east central and southeast Iowa and north central, northwest and west central Illinois.
• Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses to occur.
• High levels of heat and humidity are anticipated to linger into the weekend.
• Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.
• Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible.
• To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments.
• Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Call 9 1 1.

The Work Moves Along
Installation of structural steel on the superstructure of the new Interstate 80 bridge near LeClaire is progressing rapidly. The span is slated to open for traffic Oct. 15, 1966. Engineers and Illinois and Iowa highway officials who inspected the bridge Saturday, Oct. 23, 1965, watch workmen bolt the steel into place. Published Sunday, Oct. 24, 1965.

Giants On The Mississippi River
Looking somewhat like arches in Roman ruins, the giant piers of the I-80 bridge stretch across the Mississippi. The $5 million span will be 3,486.6 feet long, 58 feet wide, and have two 27-foot lanes divided by a four-foot median. Photo taken Saturday, Oct. 23, 1965. Published Sunday, Oct. 24, 1965.

The massive center span of the Interstate 80 bridge at LeClaire — 600 tons of steel stretching 237 feet — dwarfs a workman preparing the span for the June 29, 1966, target date to put it into place. Two tug boats were to have towed the span, built on twin towers situated on two barges, into place, with water then be pumped into the barges and the large, center span gently lowered into place. Bridge construction officials estimated the placing operation would take about five or six hours.
"Look out, here she comes!"

Q: How to control the order of records for output I have a MASK content element where the editor can choose some records to put out as teasers (see screenshot below). The content should be output in the order selected by the editor. The UID List for example will look like this: 19,18,20,17
In the MySQL syntax the function SELECT FIND_IN_SET() does this job, I think - how can I use it (or a similar functionality) in the select part of a typoscript CONTENT object?
Thank you in advance for any help.

EDIT: My code example - neither the orderBy clause work nor the where clause:
table = tt_content
select {
   pidInList = 11,12
   uidInList.data = field:recid  // the list with the wanted record IDs (19,18,20,17) transferred from the content object
   recursive = 2
   join = sys_category_record_mm ON sys_category_record_mm.uid_foreign = tt_content.uid

   orderBy.data = field:recid
   orderBy.wrap = FIND_IN_SET(`tt_content`.`uid`,'|')

   where = tt_content.CType='mask_cnt_textpic_uni'

   #where.data = field:recid
   #where.wrap = FIND_IN_SET(`tt_content`.`uid`,'|')

   where.data = field:syscats
   where.intval = 1
   where.wrap = sys_category_record_mm.uid_local IN (|)

   max = 999
}

A: is that what you want?
example for content by colPos:
lib.content.left = CONTENT
lib.content.left {
    table = tt_content
    select {
        orderBy = sorting
        where = {#colPos}=1
    }
}

the key here is the select.orderBy

A: Thanks to the note from HerrZ I found the solution - here my customized script:
10 = CONTENT
10 {
    table = tt_content
    select {
        pidInList = 11,12
        uidInList.data = field:recid
        recursive = 2
        selectFields.dataWrap = *,FIND_IN_SET(`uid`,'{field:recid}') AS reclist_sortby
        join = sys_category_record_mm ON sys_category_record_mm.uid_foreign = tt_content.uid
        where = tt_content.CType='mask_cnt_textpic_uni'
        where.data = field:syscats
        where.intval = 1
        where.wrap = sys_category_record_mm.uid_local IN (|)
        orderBy = reclist_sortby
    }

    renderObj = COA
    renderObj { ... }

}

Important note: In the FIND_IN_SET syntax, the parameters must be quoted as shown in the example - otherwise Typo3 will throw an error ("Incorrect parameter count in the call to native function 'FIND_IN_SET'").

MOEX's personal finance platform Finuslugi to launch consumer lending marketplace
In October 2021, Moscow Exchange's Finuslugi platform will roll out a consumer lending marketplace, allowing Russians to choose from among loans offered by different banks at favourable rates entirely online without needing to visit a bank office.
Finuslugi has piloted the new marketplace in friends and family mode, making it available to employees of MOEX and participating banks. On 22 September, the first consumer loans were issued as part of the pilot project and the transactions were registered with the Financial Transactions Registrar (RFT), which was established at the National Settlement Depository (NSD, part of Moscow Exchange Group).
The new consumer lending marketplace on Finuslugi will launch to the public in October.
Clients can receive pre-approved loan offers from banks after registering on Finuslugi by linking their account on the State Services Portal (Gosuslugi) and submitting an online application form. To receive a final offer, clients can submit copies of the required documents to the bank through their personal Finuslugi account. New clients then meet with a Finuslugi representative for an identification check and to sign the loan agreement online; clients who have previously passed the identification procedure can sign the loan agreement immediately after receiving the final decision from the bank. The loan is then transferred to the client's Finuslugi account or to a bank account of the client's choice, with no transfer fees applied.
Igor Alutin, Managing Director of the Finuslugi Project at Moscow Exchange, said:
"The debut loans issued via Finuslugi are the first in Russia to be made through a financial marketplace. In October we plan to open up access to the lending marketplace to the public. With the launch of lending on Finuslugi, all basic financial products will be available along with deposits and insurance. This is another step towards achieving the main goal of creating Finuslugi and increasing the availability of financial products in Russia."
Using the platform, Russians can choose advantageous offers on deposits, insurance and other financial products and open them remotely 24/7, without needing to visit an office.
Anastasia Kiseleva, Managing Director for Repository Operations at NSD, said:
"This new product is an important step that simplifies user interaction with financial institutions. RFT acts as a guarantor for any transaction on all financial platforms, including loan issuance. Recording a transaction with RFT is not only about security, but also about the convenience of getting all product information in a one-stop shop via Gosuslugi. NSD's infrastructure solution makes it possible to record any type of transaction, and will contribute to the expansion of the product line available on Finuslugi."
Since the launch of RFT, products on financial marketplaces have been purchased by users from 34 regions as of the end of September 2021. Transactions have been registered in deposits, bonds, funds, compulsory third-party liability vehicle insurance and loans. The vast majority of users (marketplace clients) used the RFT service upon receiving a statement confirming a transaction.
Moscow Exchange rolled out the personal finance platform Finuslugi on 15 October 2020. Finuslugi allows users to select and open bank deposits online 24/7, as well as to purchase compulsory third-party liability vehicle insurance. In the future, federal loan bonds for households (OFZ-n) and other products from banks, asset managers and insurance companies will be offered on the platform. In May 2021, Moscow Exchange announced the acquisition of INGURU, an electronic platform for selecting insurance and banking products with an audience of over 1 million people. With INGURU in place, clients of Finuslugi will receive services for comparing and purchasing various financial products, such as compulsory third-party and fully comprehensive vehicle insurance, mortgages, credit cards, consumer loans, car loans, deposits, debit cards and microloans.

Kshemendra's Views on Aptness in Art
The Gunturu Seshendra Sharma Memorial Lecture endowed by Rajkumari Smt. Indira Devi Dhanrajgir at the University of Hyderabad (UoH) was delivered by Prof. Navjyoti Singh, Head, Center for Exact Humanities, International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad. The Lecture was organised by the Sanskrit Department of the School of Humanities.
Prof. Navjyoti Singh presented a unique interpretation of Kshemendra, wherein he extended the principles of Alankara Sastra, Poetics, to Painting and Sculpture so that the principles of poetry may be better understood. During the presentation and the post-lecture discussion it emerged that this approach was particularly necessary.
As introduced by Dr. J. S. R. A. Prasad, Head, Department of Sanskrit Studies, at the beginning of the Lecture, Kshemendra was a 11th century polymath from Kashmir who wrote in Sanskrit in various genres. Amongst his thirty odd works, Aucityavicaracarca, deals with Poetics wherein he identifies Aucitya (aptness or appropriateness) as the key element which differentiates great poetry from the rest. In his brief survey, Dr. Prasad showed that writers such as Bharata (in Natyasastra), Bhartrihari (in Vakyapadiyam) and Anandavardhana (in Dhvanyaloka) dealth with Aucitya in some way or the other and that it was Kshemendra who placed it on a high pedestal making it the key ingredient.
India has a rich tradition in Poetics with different writers identifying variously, Rasa, Riti, Guna, Alankara, Dhvani, and Vakrokti as the soul of poetry. Kshemendra is the founder of the Aucitya school. Aucitya, as generally understood, is appropriateness. However as Prof. Singh demonstrated "exactitude" would be nearer to what Kshemendra had in mind. In any piece of Art, not merely poetry, a certain element in a certain place – it could be a pun, a bend of the hand in a sculpture etc. – is what makes that piece of Art complete and great. This point was demonstrated by Prof. Singh by showing numerous sculptures from the "Shahi region" which covers present day Kashmir and parts of Afghanistan. In sculpture after sculpture, he identified the Aucitya, the exactitude which made the sculpture a great one.
Later he introduced Nagnajit's treatise of Citralakshana which is one of the earliest manuals of painting and showed how this principle of Exactitude applied to painting. A similar extension to dance, as portrayed in Natyasastra could not be demonstrated due to paucity of time but by that time, the audience had a new appreciation of Aucitya and there was not too much opposition to Prof. Singh's proposition that "for every given work of Art, there exists a particular Aucitya, even if it is not always possible to identify that".
Moving back to poetry, this definition of Aucitya, makes it very different from, say, what Anandavardhana proposed. For Anandavardhana, poetry should be bereft of anything inappropriate. This extends from Sabdalankaras like alliteration while dealing with delicate Rasas like Karuna, Pathos, to the inappropriateness of Kalidasa describing the love making of Siva and Parvati, who are considered to be the parents of the world. The focus, then, is on avoidance of inappropriateness. With Kshemendra, the situation is reversed: what is required is for certain exactitude to be present in a given work of art. The emphasis is on the presence of Aucitya, not on the absence of Anaucitya. The difference is not merely of emphasis: for Kshmendra Aucitya means much more than Aptness or Appropriateness. For instance, if one were to draw a human body with all limbs and organs in proportion, one could argue that aptness is present. However, that does not make for great Art, the painting will have to have a certain element, a certain exactitude which will make it great.\
To illustrate this "Exactitude" Kshemendra analyses twenty seven types of Aucitya, and shows examples and counterexamples. In examples, he identifies the Aucitya and analyses why the particular poem enthralls the readers. In counter-examples, the flaw in a poem is pointed out, and it is shown that absence of Aucitya is what harms the poem.
There was lively discussion after the lecture, as traditional Pundits in India, like P. V. Kane do not admit Aucitya as a separate school and club it with the Dhvani school. Prof. Navjyoti Singh's interpretation demonstrated the difference in the meaning of the term in the two schools and showed how Aucitya deserves to be studied as a separate school.
Earlier, welcoming the speaker and the patron, the In-charge Dean, Prof. G. Umamaheshwar Rao remembered the works of Gunturu Seshendra Sharma and his contribution to literature, thanked Rajkumari Smt. Indira Devi Dhanrajagir for her generous support and set the stage for the audience to expect an innovative presentation from Prof. Singh, an alumnus of IIT, Kanpur with interests spanning Mathematics, Science, Logic, Indian Analytical Traditions, Vyakarana etc.
At the end of the lecture, many of the students, research scholars, faculty and interested persons were left appreciating how sculpture sometimes becomes critical in appreciating poetry.

Sixth time lucky for Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar of India is lifted by his team mates on a lap of honour after their six-wicket victory in the World Cup final against Sri Lanka at Wankhede Stadium on Saturday in Mumbai, India. (GETTY)
Published Sunday, April 03, 2011
There was no 100th century milestone for Sachin Tendulkar on Saturday but the Little Master did not care as he shed "happy tears" after finally getting his hands on the World Cup at the sixth time of asking.
A billion Indians had anticipated Tendulkar, the world's most prolific run scorer, would collect a century of international centuries in the showpiece match but that dream was shattered when he was dismissed for 18.
A ghostly silence had descended on his home ground of Wankhede Stadium after Lasith Malinga tempted him with a vicious outswinger which Tendulkar edged behind for Kumar Sangakkara to complete a low diving catch.
Bat tucked under his arm, Mumbai's favourite son trudged back to the pavilion as the 33,000 fans suddenly lost their collective voice, scarcely believing what they had just witnessed.
But three hours later, Tendulkar's rare failure with the bat was all but forgotten as captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni clobbered a six over long on to trigger wild celebrations up and down the country.
Tendulkar's team mates ran on to the field and hoisted the best batsman of modern times on to their shoulders and carried him around for a lap of honour in front of the hollering fans.
"He has carried the burden of the nation for 21 years so it's time we carried him on our shoulders," batsman Virat Kohli said, summing up the feelings of a grateful nation.
An emotional Tendulkar, draped in an Indian tri-colour, could not hold back the tears.
"It's the proudest moment of my life. It's never too late," said Tendulkar, who had been a member of the team that was runner-up to Australia in 2003. "It's terrific to be part of this team, a great honour. Thanks to my colleagues, it would not have been possible without them.
"I could not really control my tears but those were happy tears and I don't mind it."
Tendulkar regularly dismisses retirement talks but even his most ardent fans do not expect the batsman, who turns 38 on April 24, to play in the 2015 edition of the tournament.
The crowd at the Wankhede Stadium and the millions glued to their TV sets across the country had almost taken it for granted that Tendulkar would score his 100th international century and the early signs were promising too.
Malinga had sent groans across the stadium by claiming Virender Sehwag's wicket with the second ball of the Indian innings but Tendulkar lifted the pall of gloom, a job he has been tirelessly performing throughout his career, with two boundaries off Nuwan Kulasekara's second over.
The second one, a majestic straight drive straight out of the copy book, was clearly the shot of the day that came right off the meat of the bat as a statement of his sublime touch.
Malinga, however, was lurking around to spoil the party.
The maverick Sri Lankan bowler with a unique action and streaked hair banged one outside off-stump and moved it away, inducing an edge from the same blade that was middling every delivery until that aberration.
Gautam Gambhir, who played a key role with the bat in making 97 off 122 balls, said the win was a gift to his great teammate from the entire squad.
"All credit for this win should go to Tendulkar. We were all playing for him, this trophy is for him."
Tendulkar, on his part, thanked each of his team-mates and the support staff including polar explorer Mike Horn.
"I would like to thank the support staff especially Mike Horn who joined us at the start of the tournament and was there for our last couple of games.
"He worked on the mental side and has helped us deal with the expectations and pressure.
"The team stuck together in the rough phases and proved people wrong who doubted our ability. Self-belief has been always there but in the last two years, we have been very consistent.
"It's been great honour to be part of this team. Thanks to (coach) Gary (Kirsten) and Paddy Upton (mental conditioning expert)."

July 1, 2015 Best Of, Best of 2015Beloved Sisters, Blackhat, Cucumber, How to Hold Your Breath, Mad Men, Poldark, The Unbreakable Kimmy SchmidtMostlyFilm
Woh woh, we're livin' on a prayer and so on. For our half-year review, we asked MostlyFilm contributors old and new to write a bit about one of their favourite things from the last six months. These is whats they wrotes.
Pinot noir – the year so far!
The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt – by Mr Moth
I'll be honest – when people rave about a show, I usually take against it. Just as a safeguard, really, because I know most people are idiots; how else do you explain Ted 2 or people watching Suede at Glastonbury instead of Kanye? So when people started quacking on about The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix I instantly fired up my side-eye gifs and readied myself to say "yeah, mmm, don't really see it myself". But I guess I had to hear that theme song everyone was mad over. My first response was that it was "Perfectly nice but thoroughly, almost ruthlessly, unfunny." Oof.
So, you may well ask, what made me watch any more, joyless comedy hipster that I am? I DON'T KNOW, but I did. The moment it all stopped looking neat and tidy and unfunny was in episode three when, in one of those dénouements only sitcoms can manage, Kimmy's housemate Titus finds himself attending the funeral of an elderly Korean man he doesn't know simply to cover a dumb lie. It was too much, the barrier was broken. I realised that the show was stuffed full of jokes, absolutely crammed. You don't even have to be the very worst kind of wanker and say "And all the jokes come from the characters" because guess what? They don't all come from the characters! Some of them are just jokes for the sake of making you laugh!
Eagle-eyed readers will notice that I got to episode three without acknowledging I was enjoying myself. I think that has to mean that, secretly, deep down, I was. It's the anti-Constantine, a streaming-only series I watched only half the episodes of despite saying how much I was enjoying it. Dear god, I am just the worst. Maybe you guys were right all along. Maybe you're right about everything! Lol, just kidding. You're all still idiots.
Blackhat – by Scout Tafoya
America's greatest working filmmaker released his Red Desert earlier this year, so naturally the response was muted and it vanished without a trace. Opening with the most beautiful externalization of the journey that data takes every microsecond, data including the beautifully diffuse images in Mann's digital cameras and CGI information, Blackhat strands viewers in a modern dystopia. Mann creates a schematic for his action that matches the sudden inefficacy of the very idea of good and evil. He juxtaposes his refined futurist form with bursts of almost abject clarity, like leaving a tunnel to stare straight into a painting by Anton Mauve or Giuseppe Abbati. Relief from the intuitional blur of neon and the tragic perfection of his performers' faces comes in the form of geometric division of people and data during abstract chase sequences.
The film may just be one long throwing up of one's hands in defeat to a world that suddenly got too big to comprehend, but, it's technophobic melancholy is as thrilling as any of the chase sequences in Mad Max: Fury Road. The world changes whenever we take a second to gather our thoughts. We've entered an age where every piece of information we could ever hope to want is at our fingertips. Blackhat is the first film to notice how that access has taken the mystery out of life, and the joy out of discovery. Everyone knows everything and nobody cares. Even a pin up like Chris Hemsworth can learn Byzantine coding and he can hardly stand what it's done to him. His face is a mask of grim defeat to the 1s and 0s that now measure every facet of our lives, silently eating away at our individuality. Emotion can only flourish when we destroy our computers. But technology has the last laugh, as always. After all, you're reading this right now, aren't you?
Beloved Sisters – by Veronika Ferdman
The first half of Beloved Sisters, Dominik Graf's sumptuous 3-hour melodrama, is the embodiment of that oft-quoted passage from Corinthians: "Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish…" The second half works hard to untie the pretty bows of those proclamations.
Part historical fact and part invented biography, Beloved Sisters takes place in the late 1700s and depicts a love triangle between Friedrich Schiller and two sisters – Charlotte and Caroline von Lengefeld. Though the historical and artistic movements of the late 18th century are key elements of the film, Beloved Sisters is hardly a dry history lesson. Graf's vigorously moving camera plunges into emotion, its ecstatic flourishes of movement an extension of the drama and rush of feeling at play in almost every scene. Graf plays with framing and composition with an abandon that suggests vitality rather than artistic glut or lack of vision. The
jolt from the 18th century to present-day Weimar at the end of the film (recalling a similar cold water to the face cut in House of Tolerance)serves as a reminder that the only possible witnesses to the past, to all the love and pain and history, are the stoic mute buildings, often crumbling themselves under time's pressure. All that emotion, all that searing pain and love and joy – gone. Poof.
How to Hold Your Breath – by Lissy Lovett
My favourite thing so far this year has been a play that I saw at the Royal Court in London in February. It had some pretty ropey reviews from some quarters, Lloyd Evans at the Spectator spectacularly missing the point in particular, but my god in this reviewer's opinion it was fantastic. Maxine Peake's Dana refuses to take the Devil's money after a one night stand, and everything goes horribly, horribly wrong. It was about Andrea Dworkin and radical feminism, Faustian pacts, what civilisation even means, what do you do when the money runs out, how precious information is, the excessive reliance we put on personal responsibility and the limits of human endurance. It was also pretty funny. The writing was clever and to the point: sentences were slightly out of kilter which made the whole experience of watching it a touch disconcerting and unreal.
The cast were uniformly excellent with Peake very strong in the lead role. So often, still, in 2015, women are written as one dimensional supports for male characters and this was very much not the case here; the playwright Zinnie Harris has written a proper real life person. And it was great to see a play with women writing, starring, and with Vicky Featherstone at the helm, directing as well. My only slight criticism was that it was a touch too long, an interval would have helped my concentration near the end, but intervals seem to be going out of fashion in the theatre world for some reason. I don't know if it's likely to be seen again soon with its lukewarm reviews, but the ideas and emotions that it stirred in me have stuck around for a bit.
Mad Max: Fury Road – by Paul Duane
Youth is wasted on the living. And you'd have to be wasted to live on Fury Road. This is one of a number of rejected tag-lines I created for septuagenarian George Miller, who was understandably worried that today's audience wouldn't sit still for his creaky antediluvian notions of character arc and plot development. However, with a bit of persuasion (I was able to show him how my skills turned The Wolf of Wall Street from a Hallmark biopic into the nearest thing this misbegotten century has to a Saló) he agreed to my sitting in the final edit for a week and a half. It got a bit loud. "Fuck backstory!" I shouted. "Nobody cares who Max is or how he got there! Introduce him with his back to the audience, munching a lizard, and then make him a helpless organ bank for the film's opening forty minutes! I promise you, kids love that shit." Then he asked me about the third act. I played him the first Ramones record. "Third verse, same as the first. Did you hear that, George? Take them back where they started. None of this 'Hero's Journey' shit. Double back like Buster Keaton. It's all the rage." Anyway, I don't want to say that it's thanks to my advice that Fury Road is now bubbling under in the Total Film 2015's Top Fifty Action Movies Made By Septuagenarians list, but I gotta say, without me, would a very expensive avant-garde exercise, with an amputee female lead and zero plot development, ever have had a shot at the big time, all shiny and chrome? I very much doubt it.
Mad Men series finale – by Danni Glover
Advertising is about satisfaction. It doesn't matter that it's a capitalist lie, that the aching emptiness you feel now will return immediately following the consumerist rush, that it's not actually possible to buy the world a Coke; as long as the ad man can sell you satisfaction in under a minute, the product itself is immaterial.
It's fitting, then, that Matthew Weiner's spectacular final episode of Mad Men tells the story of aching needs resolved and in the balance. Peggy needs to feel loved, Joan needs professional respect, Betty and Pete both need to care for their families. Don needs to find himself. Weiner gives his characters the satisfaction they desire and leaves them at the point of optimum happiness. But how meaningful are these moments of closure? How much do we believe in the rushed romances, the kitchen startups, the familial ascent into the sun that we see in the series finale?
Perhaps the biggest leap of faith is to believe that Don finds enlightenment by selling it, returning to the industry that created and destroyed Don Draper. He is a faceless shadow of a man, falling from woman to woman and landing in whisky and complicity.
You can't get closure from products, no matter what they promise, and although Mad Men may have promised a happy ending for its characters, I remain unconvinced. I loved and recognised the ironic optimism the Mad Men finale delivered. It felt true to my interactions with the industry the show represented, shallow but attractive, engaging but drenched in ennui. It may not have been the most satisfying television of 2015 so far, but for my money, it was the best.
Poldark – by theTramp
Are you sure this is a still from the programme? – ed
The last Sunday evening BBC period drama I really tuned in to was Pride and Prejudice. I thought the whole cast was fantastic (bar Kitty) but it really was Colin Firth sizzling beneath knitted brows and a solemn expression who truly captured my attention. That was 20 years ago (!) and I am quite certain the BBC has offered us several period literary adaptations since then and yet not a one comes to my mind. Until, that is, Poldark.
Poldark proved a bit of a phenomenon, and its lead actor, Aidan Turner – looking buff without a shirt and offering up, every episode, plenty of smouldering looks beneath knitted brows – had a lot to do with it. The fact that the show was utterly preposterous, and entertainingly so with it, also helped. If you haven't seen Poldark, you must. Turner, who I genuinely enjoyed in Being Human, is about as wooden as it gets in this, but he smoulders and this is a story where having a good looking lead male who smoulders, and a gorgeous female who pines, is what really matters.
If this all sounds rather shallow, well it is. This is an adaptation where the peasants have perfect teeth and nails, except when it pleases the director for them not to, where Cornish accents vary wildly and the weather is predominantly sunny, unless of course the plot line requires a little pathetic fallacy. None of which matters because the key ingredients that make every historical romance series work – poor girl on the uppers, a dastardly chap out to do no good, a gruff chap with a heart of gold and looks that make a gals heart flutter, plenty of slightly improper situations where kisses almost happen, and a bit of hardship of both the emotional and financial kind that must be overcome – are all here; the yearning looks of romance paperback front covers brought to life.
Cucumber – by Kate le Vann
I loved Cucumber. Me writing this has been me deleting lists that begin 'I especially have to mention…' and then just writing down the whole cast, again, because I can't find a place to stop. That cast, a dream of diversity and talent, also twinkles with inspiration and warmth and cleverness. I especially have to mention — no, stop it, me.
But Cyril Nri. And Freddie Fox. And Julie — no, stop it.
Cucumber, but I don't want to spoil anything for people who are so excited by me deleting lists that they ordered the box set somewhere between the fourth and fifth sentence, contained the most harrowing death I've ever seen on television (sorry, DCI Bilborough), as well as the funniest shaggy-dog punchline. There was a Canal Street ghost and a kidnapping that turned into a sex game that turned into a potboiler farce. A plotline with a teacher who had abused a vulnerable teenager that ended in slapstick. All of this made me madly happy (or unhappy) but it was also sort of unnecessary, because I'd have been madly happy watching Cucumber if nothing happened at all: I'd really like to watch the whole cast on Gogglebox every week watching telly and commenting on it in Russell T Davies dialogue, and I'd really like them all to be my best friends. Russell T Davies doesn't really write like people talk, and perhaps he doesn't even write like people think, but what he has done in this terrific series (I especially have to mention Vincent Franklin's amazing performance) is write like people feel. Like I feel. He knows how to break your heart but he won't leave you alone with your heart breaking and no way of ever being happy again. He stays with you until he makes you smile, to make sure you're okay. But he has ruled out a second series. Russell T Davies, I'm not okay.

The US dollar index is rising. It is moving to the psychological level of $95 again. Today traders will look at building permits and housing starts data. The forecast is mixed. If the actual data is greater than the forecast ones, the USD will be able to rise more.
The US and South Korea agreed to suspend military drills as a part of an agreement between the US and North Korea.
Trade wars tensions are hotter and hotter. Mr. Trump is ready to impose as many tariffs as possible. According to Reuters, he asked a US trade representative to identify $200 billion in Chinese goods for additional tariffs. Mr. Trump said that they will be imposed as soon as China increases tariffs on the US. Let's wait!
A lot of info on the Australian dollar. Trade wars tensions are increasing that weighs on the AUD. Moreover, the RBA released its monetary policy meeting minutes. Although nothing new on the aussie was said ("a rise in the Australian dollar would lead to a slower pickup in inflation, economic growth"), however, it affected the AUD as well.
The AUD/USD pair tested the support at 0.7380. 50-hour MA is near to cross the 200-hour MA that is a negative signal for the pair. If today the pair closes below the support, the further fall is anticipated. No important economic data will be released.
A forecast for the aussie isn't encouraging. The banking group doesn't see any driver for the AUD because of an uninspiring domestic data flow and a negative perspective on a rate hike. Moreover, trade wars tensions continue to weigh on the AUD. Risks of the housing market may put pressure on the Australian dollar as well. As a result, a fair value for the Australian dollar is 0.73 (let us remind that up to now, AUD/USD is near 0.7380).
ING has also represented its point of view on the Australian dollar. The main threat for the Australian dollar is the US policy. Firstly, the higher short-term US rates weigh on the aussie with the lower interest rate. Secondly, US tariffs on Chinese exports put pressure on the AUD. As a result, the forecast of the company is a consolidation within 0.7400-0.7600 until there are some directional catalysts.
The euro continues to consolidate within 1.1550-1.1670. No important economic data will be released today. If the pair closes below 1.1550, the further fall to 1.1480 is anticipated. Otherwise, the pair has chances to turn around to 1.1670.
Trade wars escalate, so the Japanese yen rises. USD/JPY has broken the support at 110.20 (200-day MA) and tested the next one at 109.70. The support at 109.70 is strong (100-week MA). If any tension increases, the pair will fall further. Otherwise, it will return to 110.20.
Some comments on the Bank of Japan. A former BOJ official thinks that the BOJ should give up on inflation. According to him, the central bank's policy couldn't prove its efficiency. He advises the central bank to stop stimulating prices through large-scale bond buying and instead introduce a digital currency, enabling it to accept a new price goal of 0% inflation. Let's see whether Mr. Kuroda will accept that.

Wicker Praises Award of $280 Million in Tax Credits to Support Economic Growth and Community Development in Mississippi
By PRESS RELEASE - SENATOR ROGER WICKER
Fri,09/03/21-12:36PM, 188 Reads 4,093 Statewide
Below is a press release from Senator Roger Wicker:
Mississippi to Receive $280 Million From 2020 New Markets Tax Credit Program
U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., praised the award of $280 million in tax credit allocations to five Mississippi-based community development entities (CDEs). The $280 million figure is the largest award Mississippi has received from the program to date. The tax credits, which were awarded through a competitive application process, are distributed through the U.S. Treasury Department's New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program to financial institutions to help spur investment and economic growth in low-income urban and rural communities nationwide.
"This large allocation of New Markets Tax Credits to Mississippi is welcome news for communities that need additional economic support," Wicker said. "The New Markets Tax Credit program has proved to be a valuable source of private investment, giving Mississippians across our state access to the financial services necessary for economic growth and community development."
Mississippi's award of $280 million will be allocated to five institutions, including Bancorp South, Trustmark Bank, Peoples Bank, Hope Enterprise Corporation, and MuniStrategies, LLC. This investment will help cover eligible activities under the program.
The NMTC Program aims to deliver private capital to low-income communities by providing a tax credit to corporate or individual taxpayers who make investments to businesses in underserved communities. Historically, NMTC Program awards have generated $8 of private investment for every $1 invested by the federal government.

Launcher Pro Plus - Revisiting the Review and Checking out the Widgets in Plus.
It has been just over a month since my original post and review of Launcher Pro, and it has easily been one of my most viewed posts. So, I thought I'd revisit the application to see what's new, and why there's been considerable buzz regarding the home screen launcher. I'll also dive into Launcher Pro Plus, and giving you the lowdown on all of the native widgets that your $2.99 upgrade includes.
To be honest, I had actually reverted back to the stock launcher not long after posting my original review. I experienced a bit of a lag with both LP and ADW, and I never got accustomed to this. However, after reinstalling LP during this go around, not only did I not experience the lag, but I gained a whole new appreciation for the slick launcher.
Launcher Pro reinvents the look of the phone, in my case, a Motorola Droid X. We'll get into the Plus widgets in a little bit, but the free application does a great job of adding functionality to your stock launcher experience. I discussed many of these features in the first Launcher Pro review, but I gained a new appreciation for the dock this time around, as I moved all of my frequently used shortcuts to the dock. This keeps my home screens clear from clutter and allows me to just keep those well designed widgets there. I also discovered the "Swipe gesture action" feature which allows users to assign shortcuts or commands to the icons in the dock. An example from my experience: I hid the notification area (that white bar really stood out against my dark wallpaper), so I assigned a swipe gesture to my middle icon in the dock to open notifications, thus keeping the functionality and improving the look.
One of shortcomings of the free Launcher Pro application is the inability to resize widgets. For $2.99, you can upgrade to Launcher Pro Plus, and this functionality comes standard with the premium. So, I decided to test the upgrade, and to my delight, found that the resizing was just the beginning as the included Launcher Pro widgets proved to be main attractions.
On each of my 7 home screens, there's some widget action. My center screen contains Beautiful Weather and another screen holds the ESPN Sports widget, still my favorite of the Android options. Each of the remaining five holds a Launcher Pro Plus widget.
1) Agenda - A nice calendar display that contains all of your synced Google calendars, color coded and interactive with touch. Scrollable, you can view all future events, but no past ones, unless you go through the monthly calendar icon. Very smooth and easy on the eyes.
2) Messaging - All of you text messages on a scrollable widget. You can click to respond to a message and enter the current thread. Also available is a checkbox to mark as read, though I wasn't quite sure what to do with this feature.
3) People - Links to all of your contacts or specific groups shown as photo icons. A quick tip for those that have pictures linked to Facebook: Use the free app "Syncmypix" to download Facebook photos to your contacts, and you'll no longer see the generic silhouette. I would also like one-touch calling added in the future, but otherwise, this widget is pretty slick.
4) Bookmarks - Visual thumbnails for your websites sorted in numerous ways such as alpha, most visited, and last visited. Very well designed and great eye candy. Speedy as well.
5) Twitter - Enter your login credentials and get your Twitter feed updated as a widget. Mentions and Direct Messages are available as is a new Tweet option.
Also released was a Friends widget which combines your Facebook and Twitter feeds. Very useful if you want to keep the number of screens to a minimum.
4/5/11 UPDATE: Last week, developer Federico made a return after several weeks of inactivity to produce a Gmail widget and some minor fixes. I'm still having trouble with my Twitter widget, but Facebook works better than before. His blog post reveals that the massive recoding project is still undergoing, so I'll post a separate entry once this is released.
So, these are the available widgets as of this post. A great selection, and each takes up the 4x4 size of the entire screen. Add an included black carbon fiber wallpaper, and you've got a great looking revamped Android phone interface. I'd say that it now rivals HTC Sense or Samsung TouchWiz, and certainly bests the Motorola stock. Once again, I give high marks to Launcher Pro. With Plus, you've got an A+ product.

Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks
Selecting Text ExemplarsThe following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list.
The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria:
Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators' professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band. For those types of texts—particularly poetry and multimedia sources—for which these measures are not as well suited, professional judgment necessarily played a greater role in selection.
Quality. While it is possible to have high-complexity texts of low inherent quality, the work group solicited only texts of recognized value. From the pool of submissions gathered from outside contributors, the work group selected classic or historically significant texts as well as contemporary works of comparable literary merit, cultural significance, and rich content.
Range. After identifying texts of appropriate complexity and quality, the work group applied other criteria to ensure that the samples presented in each band represented as broad a range of sufficiently complex, high-quality texts as possible. Among the factors considered were initial publication date, authorship, and subject matter.

Here's the inaugural edition of 'Stars of the Weekend in R.I. College Hockey,' which I will post here on most Sundays or Mondays throughout the season:
***Jon Gillies, Providence College. Stopped 63 of 64 shots in two wins vs. No. 11 Minnesota State. Looks to me like a lock to be one of the 10 Hobey Baker Award finalists come March.
*** Ross Mauermann, Providence College. Scored a goal in each game and was the best player on the ice - except for his own goalie - on either team. I don't believe he had a bad shift all weekend.
*** Sarah Bryant, Providence College. The sophomore netminder bounced back from a tough outing on Saturday to backstop a win over No. 10 Mercyhurst on Sunday. She made 47 saves, including 24 in the third period.
*** Corinne Buie, Providence College. Buie scored a goal and an assist and was plus-2 in the victory over Mercyhurst. The senior forward leads the team in scoring with 5 points in 4 games.
*** The URI men's team. The No. 15 Rams are 8-0 after two one-goal wins at Lebanon Valley. On Friday night, Nick Zelmer's late goal sent the game to overtime, where Brian Gara won it. On Saturday, Dillon Balsamo scored the third-period winner.

Natalia Dyer And Charlie Heaton Romantically Involved?
There have been rumors doing the round for months that there is something going on between "Stranger Things" co-stars Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton, reported Daily Mail.
Recently those reports or rumors seem to be true as they were spotted holding hands in New York. 20-year-old Dyer beamed as she held the hand of the 23-year-old British actor, were seen gallivanting around the Big Apple. The couple was casually dressed wearing shorts and denim overalls. The two were initially linked when they were seen getting out of the airport a number of times. After that, they appeared together at May's MTV Movie & TV Awards and also looking cozy at San Diego Comic-Con in August.
Although the pair has officially not confirmed however now after seeing them holding hands, the rumors seem to be true. Earlier right after attending the 2017 Golden Globes, the duo caught a flight together with the rest of the cast. Ever since then social media has been speculating the closeness of the couple. In January 2017 Heaton seemed to be totally gushing over his co-stars when he posted a picture of Dyer and Joe Keery and said 'To best times with best friends.'
The pair makes sure that they are by each other's side whenever they go to any event and this sure has to be heading towards something serious. Also, an eyewitness had said earlier that the two were holding hands at a restaurant in Nashville.
The onscreen pair will be seen again on television when the Netflix sci-fi series screens its second season on October 27. The new season will be seeing some major character developments,"They start out a year later, and they totally sort of new people as a result of this experience that happened last year"' said David Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper in the series.
The first season of the series was released on Netflix on July 15, 2016. It has been critically acclaimed for its various aspects like characterization, pacing, atmosphere, acting, soundtrack, directing, writing etc.
Since the series has gone on air the crazy fans of the series are going bonkers on the love triangle between NancyWheeler (Dyer), Jonathan Byers (Heaton) and Steve Harrington (Joe Keery), using the hashtags #TeamJonathan and #TeamSteve on social media.

How to choose the best sofa for your living room?


Go beyond chicken nuggets to find the best protein sources for your kids.
We know that children need protein for muscle growth and repair, but just how much do they need? The requirements are based on weight and come from the Institute of Medicine. Here's how they break down. The requirements are the same for girls and boys through age 13.
It's easy to calculate: Just take your child's weight in pounds and multiply by the appropriate number above to get the grams of protein they need per day. So if your 3-year-old preschooler weighs 30 pounds, that means she needs about 12 grams of protein each day. Very doable! Let's take a look at some healthy ways to make sure your child is getting enough for their growing body.
Chicken is an excellent, low-fat source of protein—and kids love it! Unfortunately, it's often served to them breaded, fried, and nugget-shaped. Kids will love healthier preparations of chicken just as much–as long as they taste good.
Little ones like hand-held foods, and a sloppy joe is always popular. It's also a great opportunity to add in vegetables, like carrots, as in this sloppy joe recipe, which is made with lean ground beef. Each serving provides 23 grams of protein, 111mg of calcium, and 4mg of iron.
Quinoa is the "it" grain these days and for good reason: It's versatile, quick cooking (15 minutes!), nutty, and delicious. It's one of the few plant foods that provide a complete protein, and it's also high in heart-healthy potassium, immune-boosting zinc, and iron. Plus, it's gluten-free.
Kids will love the tangy apricots and crunchy pistachios in this quinoa salad, which serves up 10 grams of protein and nearly 11 grams of fiber per serving. Because the grains are so small, they can be tough for little hands to pick up. Try wrapping this salad up in a small whole-grain tortilla or filling mini pitas with it.
Main dishes aren't the only way for kids to get protein. After school snacks are a great opportunity too.
Our edamame dip serves up 4 grams of protein per 3 tablespoons and encourages your child to eat their veggies. Offer up a colorful assortment of bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, sliced jicama, sugar snap peas, and carrots, and watch them disappear!
Most kids are not fans of protein with fins, but they're generally open to fish sticks, which are easy for even 1-year-olds to eat. Most adults know they should be getting more fish in their diets, but they forget it's important for the whole family. Not only is seafood a lean source of protein that is great for heart health, the omega-3 fats found in fish are essential for a child's developing brain.
This recipe for fish sticks serves up about 18 grams of protein per 3 fish sticks, which is the perfect serving size for kids.
Not only is breakfast the most important meal of the day, it's a great opportunity to get kid-friendly protein on the table.
Mini frittatas are easy for parents to make and for kids to pick up and eat. Win-win! This recipe uses a mini muffin pan. The frittatas can be made in advance and reheated before serving. They are perfect for lunches too! Each bite-sized frittata has 4.4 grams of protein.
Greek yogurt has the benefit of being higher in protein than regular yogurt, plus it has a wonderfully rich texture. And when swirled with a sweet berry sauce, Greek yogurt becomes a very decadent treat whether you're 5 or 50!
Our Greek yogurt recipe delivers about 12 grams of protein and 131 mg of bone-building calcium.

Bordeaux châteaux owners pledge hundreds of millions to rebuild Notre-Dame

François Pinault, owner of Château Latour and Bernard Arnault, owner of luxury group LVMH, have pledged to donate hundreds of millions of Euros towards rebuilding Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris after a major fire devastated the 850-year-old landmark yesterday evening. Pinault has stated he will donate €100 million, and Arnault €200 million to the international fundraising campaign marked for cathedral restorations, according to French news agency Agence France-Presse. The blaze began on the evening of 15th April, engulfing Notre-Dame, with the French fire service working through the night to extinguish the flames, which was finally confirmed this morning (16th April). The LVMH Group announced on its Instagram account; 'In the wake of this national tragedy, the Arnault family and the LVMH Group pledge their support for #NotreDame. They will donate a total of 200 million euros to the fund for reconstruction of this architectural work, which is an integral part of the history of France.' The group has also offered the support of all teams, including creative, architectural and financial, to help with the long term work of reconstruction. As owner of LVMH, Arnault owns Château Cheval Blanc, Château d'Yquem, Krug, Moët Hennsey and fashion brand Louis Vuitton. Pinault also owns Eisele Vineyard Estate in Napa Valley – previously named Araujo, Clos de Tart in Burgundy and Château Grillet in Northern Rhône. His parent company Kering also owns luxury fashion brands Gucci and Yves San Laurent. The Notre-Dame fire The cathedral took 200 years to build and has been in Paris for 850 years, surviving both World Wars. The fire burned the roof and caused the spire to collapse, but the north and south towers, and main structure have remained. The full extent of the damage is being assessed, but there were no casualties in the fire. It is believed the fire was accidental and could have started during renovation work on the cathedral.

Dornier Wine Estate
Posted in Wine Blog.
We popped into Dornier the other day for a casual Sunday afternoon. A friend works in the tasting room and so we said we would come and visit. The drive there on Blaauwklippen road is beautiful and there are a few other noteworthy farms along the way. I have never been to Dornier before and was quite impressed. They have moved the wine tasting area closer to the restaurant, although I do think that it is a waste of a beautiful building on the other side of the grass. But nonetheless, closer to the restaurant does make it more social, festive and relaxing.
