DramaLondonReviewVAULT Festival

Sugar Coat – VAULT Festival, London

Reviewer: Richard Maguire

 Writer: Joel Samuel and Lilly Pollard

Director: Celine Lowenthal

Part gig and part theatre Sugar Coat is an homage to punk and Riot Grrrl. It’s also a salute to alternative ways of loving and living. Like punk, Sugar Coat sticks two fingers up to tradition.

Sugar Coat are a punk rock band, although their sound is more Washington State than London Town. They are five women – womxn in the publicity – with three of them on guitars, one on drums and with Dani Heron on lead vocals. All the music they play is original, composed by Lilly Pollard, who ensures the bass is suitably loud, and the songs are reminiscent of Bikini Kill, Veruca Salt and Le Tigre.

The show begins with Heron playing a 17-year old girl, brainy and confident, meeting her first love, the equally nerdy Dean. They date for a year or so, do well with their exams and do even better in bed. Heron’s mother is okay with this and suggests that she goes on the pill. But even though the contraception is meant to be 99.99% effective, Heron becomes pregnant. She’s left with a big decision to make.

Each scene is only a few minutes long, and Heron speaks into the microphone as if she is just chatting in between songs, and it is a useful way to blur the lines between theatre and performance. After every scene, the band play: the songs don’t move the story along like those in musicals but match the emotions of our hero as she travels to university to study biology, meeting new people in her halls of residence.

Each member of the band take turns to play these new acquaintances and lovers. Rachel Barnes is excellent as Heron’s mother and sex therapist, and Anya Pearson is spot-on in her portrayal of Gaz, a guy Heron meets after university. Drummer Sarah Workman is terrifically engaging as Dean while Gracie Lai is the effervescent and liberated Kat. Along with Heron, all bring subtlety and humour to their roles.

The story is quite brutal at times, and writers Joel Samuels and Lilly Pollard take no prisoners in their graphic descriptions of the tragedies that befall Heron, but never do these details feel gratuitous, and Heron’s wry asides help soften the pain. Refreshingly, parts of the story seem new with ideas that are not usually discussed on the stage.

Unfortunately, there are few problems with the sound and the bass sometimes completely muffles the vocals. A few songs stick out: Sugar Coat itself, and In the Morning, which is so good that it is reprised. And the final song just might have you on your feet.

Sugar Coat succeeds in confusing the genres of gig and theatre, and the band’s energy is so infectious you’ll be reaching for your air guitar.

Runs until 15 March 2020

Updated Thursday, 30th April 2020, 5:55 pm

We will be providing live updates until 6pm this evening.

Coronavirus live blog, April 29

Last updated: Thursday, 30 April, 2020, 17:07

He talks through today's data: 901,000 tests have been carried out in the uk now, including 81,000 tests yesterday.

26,711 have now died, an increase of 674 since yesterday across all settings.

He says “we grieve for them and with them".

Says the government are going to tackle the challenges which have been “knotty and infuriating” - references PPE, care homes and testing.

Says “we are throwing everything at it” and says “we will get it right”.

“Entire country”'s effort and sacrifice is working and has been proved to work.

“So far succeeded” in avoiding the tragedy that has engulfed other parts of the world, as NHS has never been overwhelmed.

Avoided an uncontrollable and catastrophic epidemic.

Boris Johnson is speaking now.

He's joined by Sir Patrick Vallance and Professor Chris Whitty.

He starts by apologising that he hasn't been apart of “this trio” for some time

What to expect at today's daily press briefing

There will be no easy first day back at the press briefing for the Prime Minister who welcomed a new son to the world yesterday.

Boris Johnson should expect scrutiny on a number of issues, in particular the government's likely failure to reach 100,000 tests a day.

There had been speculation that the PM may updated the public on a prospective exit strategy from the lockdown, though cabinet ministers have already said that a strategy will not be provided until after a SAGE meeting in early May.

In recent days, cabinet ministers have been accused of neglecting to prepare care homes for the pandemic, and the PM should expect further pressure today from journalists.

The recurring themes of PPE shortages, face mask usage and quarantining new arrivals to the country could also come up.

PM to host daily press briefing at 5pm

A reminder that Boris Johnson is set to hold today's daily press briefing at 5pm.

As ever we will be providing live updates.

Sir Keir Starmer says government slow on exit strategy

Boris Johnson has been urged to publish the UK's exit strategy from the coronavirus lockdown, to give clarity to businesses and communities across the country.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said that, while there is an understanding of the need for lockdown, transparency is needed for what comes next.

In an interview with ITV News, Sir Keir also said he believes an inquiry into the UK's response to the pandemic is "inevitable".

"I think the Government were slow into lockdown, slow on testing, slow on protective equipment, and may now be slow on our exit strategy," he said.

Government "working hard" to meet 100,000 tests a day target

Downing Street has insisted the Government is "working hard" to hit its target of testing 100,000 for coronavirus by the end of the day.

The PM's spokesman said that as of April 28, testing capacity had been increased to 77,365 and told a Westminster briefing: "The target is for 100,000 tests today and the Health Secretary and all of his team are working hard to hit it."

He added: "You can chart the progress that we've made towards hitting that target and that we are working hard today to ensure that people who need tests get them."

Earlier on Thursday, Justice Secretary Robert Buckland acknowledged the 100,000 target may not be met.

The PM's spokesman said 42 drive-through test sites are now open and 17 mobile sites are operational.

Time for Captain Tom Moore to rest

Captain Tom Moore needs a rest after uniting people across society and across nationalities, his proud daughter has said.

As her father's fundraising hit £30 million, Hannah Ingram-Moore said that for the family the last few weeks will be "embedded in our hearts forever".

She said the 100-year-old has "touched the hearts of many people around the world" and brought hope at a difficult time.

"We've said, 'look, take a little rest now'. But I think we know that he has touched the hearts of many people around the world.

"He's definitely engaged us all and given us hope and unity.

"So, there will be legacy. We, as a family, have come a long way in these last few weeks, and we are working hard to look at what is the future, what's the future legacy, but he needs to have a little rest now."

WHO: evidence that Europe is passing the peak

Dr Hans Kluge, World Health Organisation regional director for Europe, said there were positive signs the continent was passing the peak of the virus.

He told a virtual press briefing: "We're now seeing evidence of a plateau or reduction in new cases.

"We must monitor this development very closely."

But he added: "Covid-19 is not going away any time soon."

NHS signs daubed with swastikas

Police have revealed how they were "horrified" to find swastikas sprayed on signs urging people to stay at home and protect the NHS during the coronavirus outbreak.

A number of yellow "car park closed" signs along the coast between Seaton Sluice and Whitley Bay, North Tyneside, were attacked overnight by vandals.

At least five locations over two miles were attacked, including a sign saying "Car park closed, stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives".

Council teams were sent out to clean off the swastikas.

Nicola Sturgeon "right" to warn that measures likely won't be eased on May 7

Justice Secretary Robert Buckland has said Nicola Sturgeon was "right to be cautious" in her warning that measures are unlikely to be eased on the next review date of 7 May.

“I think the common thread between the Governments is one of extreme caution following the evidence of the Sage committee,” he said, "making sure that we don't do anything in a premature way that could risk a second spike.

"That would be a disaster."

Captain Tom's donations page to close at midnight on 100th birthday

The donations page for Captain Tom Moore's fundraising efforts will close at midnight this evening, as he celebrates his 100th birthday.

Moore confirmed the news in a message to supporters, but added: “NHS Charities Together still have their urgent appeal, so people can donate to them that way.”

"Reaching 100 is quite something. Reaching 100 with such interest in me and huge generosity from the public is very overwhelming.

"I am going to spend my birthday with my family, both here in person and with my daughter remotely, and then I am going to have a few days' rest. My legs may be tired, but my mind is racing and I'm hoping to be back very soon with other ways in which I can help people, help others.

"Please always remember, 'Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day'. With my sincerest gratitude, Captain Tom Moore."

Antiviral drug 'cutting recovery times for coronavirus patients'

An antiviral drug previously used to treat ebola has shown "very encouraging results" in the fight against coronavirus.

Abdel Babiker, professor of epidemiology and medical statistics at UCL, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that there are  “very encouraging” results from the first large-scale randomised trial to report on any treatment of Covid-19."

He said the group of hospitalised adults with advanced coronavirus who received Remdesivir recovered "much faster" than the group that received a placebo.

It was recently confirmed that save data would not transfer between PS4 and PS5, but that data will transfer between Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Recently gameplay was shown of Dirt 5 which featured South Africa. Codemasters has confirmed that Dirt 5 will be a launch title for next gen consoles, meaning it will be available on November 10th for Xbox Series X|S, and should be making its way to PS5 on November 12th/November 19th depending on which region you are residing in. The current gen release will be on November 6th.

From the heady days of the Mega Drive up until the modern day gaming has been my main hobby. I'll give almost any game a go.

  1. I’ve heard conflicting information about save data transfer to PS5. Basically you can’t, but if you have PS+ you can download it from ‘the cloud’???
    I don’t have to worry about it as I had already decided to wait and get the PS5 version.

    • Nah, PS5 and PS4 are two separate versions of the game. If you copy a save file over from the PS4 (in any way), it will only work with the PS4 version of the game in BC. There’s ways around it, but not every company is going to invest in the server and hosting capacity.

  2. There’s a Lancia Stratos so that automatically means it is a *good* rally game.

White Wine Pineapple Sangria Recipe

Cold pineapple mojito cocktail
Rimma_Bondarenko / Getty Images
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 0 mins
Total: 10 mins
Servings: 6 to 8 servings

This is a totally different take on traditional sangria, giving it a tropical twist with the addition of pineapple and coconut rum. The cocktail stays true to its name with its foundation of wine (white in this case) and fruit (orange, lemon, and pineapple), but evokes the feeling of lounging on a Caribbean beach instead of Spain's Mediterranean coastline. Nonetheless, it is a perfect drink for your summer party and one that your guests will be raving about.

  • 1 (750 ml) bottle white wine (Chardonnay, Viognier, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1 medium orange (sliced into wedges)
  • 1 lemon (sliced into wedges)
  • 1 fresh pineapple (cut to your preference)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 4 cups ginger ale
  • 3 shots coconut rum
  • Ice to taste
  • Optional: Sprig of mint

Steps to Make It

  1. Pour wine into a large pitcher and squeeze the juice from the orange and lemon wedges into the white wine.

  2. Toss in the citrus wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and pineapple pieces; then add the sugar and chill overnight in the refrigerator.

  3. Just before serving, add ginger ale, rum, and some ice. Garnish with mint, if using.

  • If you'd like to serve the sangria right away instead of refrigerating overnight, use chilled white wine and serve over lots of ice. However, remember that the best sangrias are chilled around 24 hours in the fridge, allowing the flavors to really blend together.
  • To avoid getting a sangria full of orange and lemon seeds, place a fine strainer over the pitcher before squeezing the fruit. Then just be sure to remove the seeds from the wedges before you add to the sangria.
  • This recipe calls for one pineapple cut up, but you may use canned pineapple if you prefer. Substitute two 15.5 oz cans of crushed or sliced pineapple for the whole fresh pineapple.

How to Cut a Pineapple

With containers of diced pineapple available in the produce section of the supermarket, you may think it isn't worth buying a whole pineapple and cutting it up yourself. If you compare price tags, however, you might change your mind—pineapple chunks can cost around three times more than a whole pineapple. Once you know how to cut the fruit properly and easily, buying cut-up fruit could be a thing of the past.

  1. First, make sure you have a large cutting board and a sharp knife. Having the compost bin nearby doesn't hurt either.
  2. Lay the pineapple on its side and cut off the top and the bottom and discard.
  3. Now stand up the pineapple on one of the flat ends. Using the tip of the knife, begin slicing off the outside of the pineapple in strips, trying not to cut too much of the yellow flesh. Continue doing this until all of the outer skin is gone; if some eyes remain, cut those off so the pineapple is nice and clean.
  4. Cut the fruit into quarters vertically, and place each quarter on its side with the point facing up.
  5. Slice off the hardcore on each quarter (it will be a triangle), moving the knife horizontally across the piece, trying not to take away the flesh.
  6. Cut each pineapple piece lengthwise and then into cubes.

Syndicate stealing electricity to mine bitcoin in Penang busted

GEORGE TOWN: Police seized 411 bitcoin mining machines worth a total of RM180, 000 and arrested four suspects during raids on seven shophouses here.

George Town OCPD Asst Comm Soffian Santong said a combined team from the district police headquarters, state criminal investigation department and Tenaga Nasional conducted four raids in the operation from 11.30pm to 3am on Friday (June 11).

ACP Soffian said the four raids were conducted after questioning four suspects who were arrested after raids on three other premises in Jelutong earlier the same day.

"During the raids at Lintang Hajjah Rehmah, Jelutong, Sungai Dua and Bayan Lepas, police also confiscated four computers, 11 routers, four modems and 10 fans," he said in a statement.

An initial investigation found that all four premises were stealing electricity for bitcoin mining activities.

ACP Soffian said the suspects claimed they were cleaners and only started working two months ago.

He said checks at all four premises raided found evidence of tampering with the electricity supply.

He added the TNB estimated losses of around RM420, 000 over the past two months.

Police are still searching for the syndicate mastermind, who is believed to have been operating for a few months.

The four suspects have been remanded to aid investigations under Section 379 and Section 427 of the Penal Code as well as Section 37 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990.

YORKSHIRE were hammered in last night's Vitality Blast game against Birmingham, bowled out for 81 at Edgbaston - their lowest ever total - before the Bears chased with no alarms to win by 10 wickets with 69 balls remaining.

Looking at this with a glass half full approach, Yorkshire remain well placed to qualify for the quarter-finals, after winning six of their opening 10 games.

But they have lost top spot in the North Group to Nottinghamshire courtesy of net run-rate.

This was their third defeat, and came on the back of a batting performance littered with miscued shots as they were bowled out in just 15.5 overs.

Having won the toss on a used hybrid pitch, Adam Lyth raced out of the blocks and took 15 runs off the first five balls from Tim Bresnan, including two fours and a six over cover.

Unfortunately, things went downhill very quickly.

Four batsmen were out to miscued pull shots, while two were out stumped. One of those was last man Lockie Ferguson.

Only Harry Brook, with 28 not out, reached 20, with Lyth’s 19 the next best.

Lyth hit three boundaries and a six in 19 off eight balls. The rest of the team combined only hit three fours and a six.

The seam of West Indian all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite returned 3-7 from two overs, while fellow seamer Craig Miles claimed 3-21 from four.

Tim Bresnan and Jake Lintott struck once apiece and Danny Briggs twice.

Birmingham started the match - the 10th of the competition - in fifth place, one point outside the top four quarter-final qualifying places.

So it was no surprise to see them go all guns blazing after the target in a bid to improve their net run-rate as well as their points tally.

Openers Ed Pollock and Adam Hose dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s on the home win. Pollock finished 33 not out off 23 balls and Hose 46 unbeaten from 31.

They have leapt over locals rivals Worcestershire into the top four.

No ‘one’ venue type will replace BCNs, says panel

MiFID II will ban broker crossing networks leaving a ‘big hole’ in liquidity.

Order flow from broker crossing networks (BCNs) will not shift to systematic internalisers (SIs) immediately following MiFID II implementation, according to market participants.

Speaking at The TRADE’s MiFID II Checklist event this week, a panel discussing changes to trading venues explained to delegates the liquidity from BCNs will likely be spread across multiple venues.

“Once BCNs are banned, it will leave a big hole in liquidity,” said Tom Stenhouse, head of products at the London Stock Exchange Group.

“It’s unclear how much flow will go to other venues and the difficulty is working out which of those venues are relevant and whether the liquidity pools are pre-matched,” he added.

MiFID II will see multiple new venues become available including SIs, although market participants have predicted the regime and additional venues will cause greater fragmentation.

Certain investment banks are also registering multiple SI platforms for different internal purposes, for example different desks offering liquidity in cash or derivative products.

Michael Horan, head of trading at Pershing BNY Mellon, added once BCNs are broken up, order flow will likely be rehoused as an MTF but most banks do not want to do that.

“That flow has to go somewhere and some will naturally migrate to lit order books, temporarily at least. The break up of BCNs isn’t about what choice the banks have, it’s about what happens to that mammoth piece of liquidity once it is broken up,” he told delegates.

Matthew McLoughlin, head of trading at Liontrust, agreed and added SIs will not replace BCNs once MiFID II is implemented.

“People underestimate the flow that goes through electronic market makers. There’s a place for SIs but with all the new venues coming out of MiFID II, no one venue will replace BCNs,” he said.

An SI under MiFID II and MIFIR is an investment firm that deals on its own account by executing client orders - on an organised, frequent and systematic basis - outside of a regulated market, multilateral trading facility or organised trading facility.

US court approves early release of MF Global client funds

Some MF Global account holders may see their money earlier than originally expected, following the broker’s bankruptcy and subsequent freezing of customer positions.
By None

Some MF Global account holders may see their money earlier than originally expected, following the broker’s bankruptcy and subsequent freezing of customer positions.

The US Bankruptcy Court, Southern District, New York yesterday granted a petition filed by liquidation trustee James Giddens, which sought an expedited transfer of funds to customers. The ruling – which had the backing of futures watchdog the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) – puts in place mechanisms for the prompt initiation of claims for all MF Global customers and the transfer of 60% of customer funds that have been frozen in “cash-only” accounts.

The CFTC has requested to work with the bankruptcy trustee to ensure a swift claims process and transfer of customer funds. “My number one priority at this point is to work with the trustee and facilitate an equitable distribution of funds to all MF Global customers as quickly as possible,” CFTC commissioner Jill Sommers said.

MF Global filed for bankruptcy 31 October after counterparties recoiled at the disclosure of a US$6.3 billion bet on European debt. Approximately US$600 million of client funds is currently not fully accounted for. The unwinding of client positions is being further complicated by the varied liquidation policies of futures clearing houses in Europe and the US.

It has also been reported widely that regulators have determined that days before the 31 October bankruptcy filing, MF Global may have moved more than US$100 million in client money to its own brokerage accounts.

Regulatory breakdown?

The regulatory framework to protect futures brokers’ customers has also been debated in the US Congress. Tuesday, Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow asked CFTC to speed up its MF Global investigation.

“That funds are missing highlights an extraordinary breach of trust – it is unacceptable there are any doubts about the safety of customer assets,” Senator Stabenow, a Michigan Democrat, said in a letter to CFTC head Gary Gensler.

Various investigations are now taking place into the events surrounding the collapse of the broker, including those by the CFTC, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

But while CFTC rules require firms to segregate client accounts, MF Global was ‘regulated’ by CME Group – the largest futures exchange operator in the US and a ‘self-regulatory’ organisation for the sector. It was up to CME to make sure MF Global’s accounts were in order. The week before the collapse, CME had audited MF Global’s customer accounts and found nothing untoward on the books.

Finger pointing

Daniel Harris, a New York-based analyst for Goldman Sachs, has suggested that CME could face regulatory scrutiny for not disclosing what it knew about MF Global quick enough.

“CME has been under pressure owing to worries it may face liability over the timing of its communication with the CFTC following discovery of a shortfall in MF Global’s segregated client accounts, given its obligations as the DSRO (designated self regulatory organisation),” Harris said in a note to clients. “Given the DSRO’s responsibility to provide immediate notification to the CFTC of such information, any potential liability is likely to hinge on the timing of when CME initially discovered discrepancies.”

CME has insisted it followed CFTC requirements and its own rules and procedures in reviewing MF Global’s segregated funds statements and coordinating that review with the CFTC.

“CME was advised in the early hours of Monday, 31 October that there was an actual shortfall in the segregated funds account and was told the CFTC was advised concurrently,” the company said. “Shortly thereafter, CME Group discussed the shortfall in a conference call with the CFTC and other regulators.

CME Group is confident that it complied with all its obligations as a DSRO pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act.”

Concern for lost cash

Industry bodies are also concerned about missing client funds. On Monday, lobby group the National Introducing Brokers Association, said to the extent there are sufficient segregated funds available, they should be seen as the assets of the customers. NIBA also backed the trustee’s petition to the US Bankruptcy Court to release the remaining cash balances of former MF Global customers.

“Those funds are absolutely vital for the marketplace to function fully,” the association said. “The result of withholding these funds is affecting the ability of customers to maintain and trade their positions, and will impact liquidity and trading volume – absolutely necessary for an efficient market.”

Last Friday, in order to accelerate the return of customer cash and other assets held at CME Clearing, other clearing houses and MF Global custodians, CME provided a US$250 million financial guarantee to the trustee to give the trustee greater latitude to make an interim distribution of cash. It also ensured a further US$50 million in assets to CME Group market participants to offset missing customer funds held at MF Global.

“The failure of MF Global and the firm’s mishandling of customer segregated funds is absolutely uncharted territory for this industry, and this extreme measure will help to provide all former MF Global customers access to their account balances that had previously been frozen in the liquidation,” said CME Group executive chairman Terry Duffy.

Investigations by the CFTC, SEC and the FBI continue.

Rezoning request denied again; attorney warns of legal action

Steve Fuchs’ third attempt at a rezoning request for his 4.98-acre property in Washington ended similarly to the first two, as the Washington City Council on Monday voted 4-1 to accept the planning board’s recommendation to deny the request.

Councilman William Pitt voted against the motion. Councilmembers Richard Brooks, Virginia Finnerty, Betsy Kane and Mike Renn voted in favor of the motion.

The property, which formerly housed a lumber mill and is currently zoned residential agricultural, is located just northeast of the intersection of Brick Kiln and Whootentown roads. The property sat vacant for decades before Fuchs purchased it in 2018 and cleaned debris from the site, hoping to use the property as an investment. He wanted to have the property rezoned so he could potentially sell it to a developer.

This was the second time Fuchs sought unsuccessfully to have the property rezoned to office and institutional. The first attempt at that change happened in July 2020; prior to that, he tried to have it rezoned to residential in April 2020. Both requests had the unanimous approval of the planning board, but City Council rejected them due to concerns brought forth by community members in public comment sessions regarding drainage concerns on and around the property, as well as concerns about a multi-family housing complex potentially being built on the property.

This time around the planning board recommended that City Council reject Fuchs’ proposal. Fuchs’ attorney noted that the same planning board approved the first two requests.

Mike Weaver, of Pendergraph Management in Raleigh, had presented the second rezoning request to the city. He had an option to purchase the property from Fuchs, and he showed interest in potentially building a commercial development on the property.

Aaron D. Arnette of the New Bern law firm Sumrell Sugg represented Fuchs at Monday’s City Council meeting. In a presentation prior to the vote, Arnette claimed that City Council denied his client’s constitutional right to equal protection in the way they handled the first two requests. Arnette warned that Fuchs would “have no choice but to consider asserting claims against the town for violations of his equal protection rights” if the new request wasn’t approved.

Arnette added that city staff had determined all three requests were in line with the city’s Comprehensive Plan. In a letter he submitted two weeks before the meeting, Arnette argued that the city “failed to articulate any reasoning or rational basis for denying” the requests, and “failed to provide any justification for treating Mr. Fuchs differently from the adjacent and similarly situated property owners whose properties are zoned R15S (residential)” and those who had their properties rezoned to office and institutional in 2003.”

“I respectfully disagree that, (based on) what I understand about this situation, there’s an equal protection claim,” City Attorney Franz Holscher said. ”But they can assert one and we’ll go argue that at a later date.”

Arnette presented two letters in support of the rezoning request, both of them written by individuals who live near Fuchs’ property. In her letter, Jean Ferguson — a longtime resident of Hodges Road — said Fuchs “Should be given a chance to develop the land and be treated fairly….”  In the other letter, Tony Keech Sr., of River Road, said developing the property would mean “additional cleaning up and leveling of the property, bringing in needed fill material, which would fix and drainage problems and provide needed landscape and fencing.”

Several people also spoke during the public hearing Monday.

Dot Moate, a member of the city’s planning board, spoke in favor of the request. Moate said she was unable to log into the video call when the planning board considered the most recent request.

“I see no reason why this should not be approved,” Moate said. “Just because the neighbors may not like the idea of somebody doing something with that property — it’s OK, you can not agree with it, but that is no reason to deny a request…”

Ernest Moore said he lives on a property adjacent to the one Fuchs owns.

“We’ve been here for eight generations,” Moore said. “The people who are opposing it that are living right behind us bought that property to build their home there because they wanted to live in a quiet neighborhood, a single-family dwelling. And that’s what we want.”

Dorian Miller, who spoke out and submitted petitions against Fuchs’ first two requests, expressed her disapproval of the latest request.

“We have drainage issues already,” Miller said. “We have railroad tracks that run right along beside that property.  Everything around it is single-family homes until you get on down River Road or way on down Whootentown Road. Mr. Fuchs bought this property knowing what it was zoned. He bought it as speculation, I assume, figuring it’d be easily rezoned. I don’t know.”

Miller said no one wanted to stop Fuchs from developing the property in accordance with its current zoning; they just want the local area to remain a single-family home neighborhood.

Make this delicious and beautiful floral water to celebrate the Summer Solstice (also known as Litha and Midsummer). Charge the water under the solstice sun and as you drink it, visualize the sun's radiant magic filling your spirit with light and hope. This potent potion is a lovely way to honor the sun and manifest your intent.

  • edible flowers

  • herbs such as rosemary, mint, dill, and lemongrass

  • water and pitcher

1. Fill a pitcher with water and place the flowers and herbs in the water.

2. Let it sit in the sun to steep.

3. Pour the water into a glass. Use a strainer to prevent the herbs and flowers from falling into the glass. You can reuse the herbs and flowers by adding more water to the pitcher and keeping it in the refrigerator. It should last a few days.

Ken is truly a diamond in the rough. Every other seminar I have been to was very official and business like, but Ken’s events are more like a networking party. People come together to find out how they can combine what they have with what others have to help everyone involved. AT the end of his event people actually CRY because they have made new friends, made a ton of money, or both.

We all know that music has the power to alter behaviors like when Lady Gaga makes you dance or Alanis Morissette helps you work through a difficult break up. But music also helps us get through more mundane times, like the workday.

A recent study in the Journal of Organizational Behavior  took a close look at how music effects cooperation. Researchers put 78 college students into groups, one exposed to happy music and the other to unhappy music. Individuals had to decide how much money they wanted to put into a group pool and how much they wanted to keep for themselves. To increase cooperation, money put into the pool would be multiplied one and a half times before being split evenly. The results showed that contributions into the pool were about a third higher with happy music than with unhappy music.

Listening to music you like is not just good for group work. A music therapy expert at the University of Miami conducted a study with 56 computer developers who were asked to keep a detailed music log. In the log participants recorded how they felt before and after listening to music, how long they listened to music, and their overall selections. The log was then compared to their overall quality of work. The results showed that developers came up with better ideas and worked faster with music on. Without music they had poorer work quality overall.

So, music may make you more cooperative and increase your productivity. What do you listen to when you want to get some serious work done? Here is a playlist we have running at THYNKgroup when its time to get our creative juices flowing:

The Skoda Superb goes electrified in iV plug-in guise. Jonathan Crouch takes a look.

Ten Second Review

Skoda's Superb doesn't yet feature mild hybrid engine tech but it can these days be had with a plug-in petrol electric drivetrain. That's the engineering formula delivered by the variant we look at here, the Superb iV. This derivative claims to be able to provide up to 35 miles of all-electric WLTP-rated driving range plus a WLTP combined cycle fuel figure of over 150mpg. Interested yet?

In the future, we're going to see plenty of electrified models from Skoda, but this was the first, the Superb iV plug-in petrol hybrid. In case you're wondering by the way, 'iV' stands for 'innovative Vehicle'. This car was launched in the Autumn of 2019 but it's actually surprising that we didn't see it earlier because it's based on all the same mechanicals used by the Volkswagen Passat GTE - which has been on sale since 2016. Still, better late than never and in true Skoda style, the Superb iV takes a VW package, then adds value and a lower price to it. And in this case, more interior space and some extra 'Simply Clever' interior features too.

Driving Experience

The Superb iV features the old 1.4 TSI petrol unit that used to be offered in conventional form in the range (that's now been replaced by a 1.5-litre TSI powerplant). With this plug-in model, the mechanical recipe is just as it is in this car's cousin, the Volkswagen Passat GTE. So that relatively elderly engine (and an equally old-tech 6-speed DSG gearbox) are wedded to a very modern slice of electrification, namely an 85kW electric motor (which boosts total system output to 218PS) and a 13kWh battery which, when fully charged, can provide up to 35 miles of all-electric WLTP-rated driving range. According to circumstance, this set-up swaps between electric and petrol - or seamlessly combines them. And you can drive this part-electric variant in either a frugal 'Hybrid' setting or a press-on 'Sport' mode, the latter enabling a potential 62mph sprint time of 7.8s en route to 138mph. The days are long gone when a Superb tackled twisting roads with all the agility of a Channel ferry. The installation of a stiff, sophisticated Volkswagen Group MQB platform into this third generation model in 2015 delivered a level of handling prowess broadly comparable with its close cousin, the Volkswagen Passat. Which means that though this Skoda remains very much comfort-orientated, it's these days surprising capable should the need arise for you to push it along a bit.

Design and Build

As with any ordinary Superb, the iV plug-in model offers a body style choice between hatch and estate. Visual changes to this revised version of Skoda's third generation Superb are relatively slight; you'll need to be a brand enthusiast to note the smarter, narrower full-LED headlamps and tail lights, plus the restyled bumpers and revised badging. The front grille now bears double slats, is larger and protrudes a little further down into the front bumper. At the rear, a horizontal chrome trim strip, which connects the full LED tail lights and the new 'SKODA' block lettering, might catch the eye, as might the smarter 18 and 19-inch wheel designs. Inside, if you owned an earlier version of this MK3 model, you might notice this revised car's extra chrome highlighting, the revised seat covers and the extra decorative trims for the centre console and dashboard. Added 'Simply Clever' touches include a space organiser beneath the boot floor. And a 'Phone Box' system that allows for inductive handset charging. A fully digital 'Virtual Cockpit' instrument display screen is now optional too, replacing their usual dials. As ever with a Superb, space for rear seat passengers is class-leading thanks to this MK3 model's lengthy 2,841mm wheelbase. The boot capacity of this plug-in model falls quite a lot over what you'd get in a conventional Superb model but it's still pretty decent. For the Hatch iV variant, it's 485-litres - or 510-litres for the Estate version.

Market and Model

Skoda rather ambitiously thinks that this iV plug-in variant will take around 30% of total Superb sales, even though this powertrain is only available with the top three trim levels at hefty pricing in the £35,000-£39,000 bracket, figures that these days there's no government assistance to slightly reduce. The spec options in question are 'SE L', 'Sportline Plus' and top 'Laurin & Klement'. Even the 'SE L' model comes with quite a lot. Tick off privacy glass and full-Matrix LED headlamps with LED daytime running lights and 'Dynamic' scrolling indicators, plus cornering front fog lamps. 'SE L' trim also gets you 18-inch 'Zenith' wheels, an electrically-operated tailgate, headlamp washers and keyless entry. Inside, 'SE L' spec entitles you to full leather upholstery with contrast white stitching and both heat and power adjustment for the memory foam front seats. Plus there's a colour multi-function trip computer and a 'Drive Mode Selection' system with 'Comfort', Normal', 'Sport', 'Eco' and 'Individual' options. All Superb iV variants feature the very complete 'Amundsen' centre-dash infotainment screen package with built-in navigation. There's also an 'Adaptive Cruise Control' system that incorporates a clever 'Predictive Cruise Control' feature which uses images from a windscreen camera, along with navigation data, to adjust the car's speed ahead of bends and speed restrictions.

Cost of Ownership

If you've read other sections of this report, you'll know that this Superb iV model mates a 1.4 TSI petrol engine with an 85kW electric motor powered by a 13kWh battery which, when fully charged, can provide up to 35 miles of all-electric WLTP-rated driving range. As a result, it's quite likely that with a typical commute, a Superb iV owner would only need to actually visit a fuel station every month or two. Assuming you install the 3.6kW wallbox charger in your garage, the battery can be replenished from empty in three and a half hours. From an ordinary household plug, the charging time figure rises to around 5 hours. The result of all this technology is a WLTP combined cycle fuel economy figure of up to 156.9mpg and a super-clean NEDC-rated CO2 output of up to 34g/km, these readings based around use of this variant's most frugal 'Hybrid' driving mode. As with any plug-in model, the official fuel return is a fantasy figure, but that impressive CO2 reading means a low VED band B and significant company car tax savings. A slight downside with this variant lies with the fact that the battery's positioning under the rear seat necessitates a reduction in fuel tank size from 66 to 50-litres, but even so, you should still be able to manage around 550 miles between refills.

To justify its continued existence in the Skoda line-up, the Superb is a model that needs to diversify a little - and this iV plug-in variant represents a good start in that direction. Yes, the quoted fuel and CO2 figures would be virtually impossible to achieve in real-world motoring, but then that's the case with any plug-in or EV model you care to name. What's important is that the government believes them. Hence the way that this model can deliver impressively low Benefit-in-Kind taxation ratings for its (mainly business-orientated) customer clientele. We're a little disappointed that prices are a little on the high side. Yes, technology like this costs, but if the brand had offered the iV drivetrain with lower-order specs, then this plug-in model could have been offered much closer to the £30,000 price point - which would have usefully widened its appeal. Still, if that's not an issue, you'll find plenty to like here.

How to Winterize and Protect Your Deck

Winter is coming and it’s time to start thinking about how to winterize your deck before the cold & wet weather sets in.
The harsh winter season can take a toll on your deck, so if you want your investment to last, winterizing your deck is a must. Winterizing your deck can be as simple as clearing and cleaning it; however if your deck is more than a few years old, it may require more attention.

Remove Planters and Furniture

Wash outdoor furniture and, if possible, store indoors to avoid leaving marks on the decking from rust or weathering.

If you can, remove all planters, pots, and containers. Moisture trapped between the deck and plastic, wood, or ceramic containers can encourage mildew, discoloration, or decay.

However, if that isn’t an option, rotate the pots on a regular basis and put them on “risers” of some sort. You can stop by the TnT office and pick up scraps of composite decking that works great for this purpose. These risers keep water from collecting under the planter and potentially damaging your decking as well as increasing air circulation around the base of the pot & the roots of any remaining plants.

Clear Debris

Sweep off leaves as soon as possible. Leaves can trap a lot of moisture on your deck and if left to decompose can leave stains or even start to rot your deck.

While sweeping, make sure you dislodge any debris in-between the boards. When boards are too close together or are packed with debris, you can end up with standing water which eventually leads to mold and rot damage.

Clear board gaps also promotes proper air circulation to make sure excess moisture isn’t trapped underneath your deck, helping keep mold and rot at bay.

Clean All Surfaces

Next, thoroughly clean the deck to remove slippery dirt, moss, and mildew and prevent potential staining.

Power washing can restore the beauty of a well-used deck, but should be done with care. Pressure set too high can remove the finish or even scar wood.

The best thing to do is give your deck a good wash. Any kind of outdoor cleaner will do (we recommend Oxyclean or 30 Seconds Outdoor Cleaner). Spray it on, give it time to work its magic, give it a little scrub with a soft brush and rinse it off.

Inspect and Repair

Now that your deck is cleared and clean, this is a good time to inspect your deck and make sure you don’t have any sagging boards, loose railings, or rotting areas. It can be detrimental and hazardous to procrastinate repairing your deck. Make any necessary repairs before cold and wet conditions make your deck problems worse.

If you need deck repairs or replacement we’d be happy to help you out! Feel free to give us a call at 541-926-3117 or email us at info@tntbuildersinc.com.

Thursday 17th February 2011

I am running a little behind here... Anniversary Weekend feels like a long-lost memory, somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind; but thankfully I have MANY photos to jog my Mummy-Brain!

We chose to travel down to my parents on Saturday morning to avoid the worst of the traffic, especially the Parachute Festival traffic (if you've never heard of it - check out the link: Parachute Music Festival...) crazy people these Christians ;-)! I so remember being young enough to enjoy those kinds of weekends, , I digress though!

So we headed off down south about the time we would have put her down for her first sleep on Saturday (plus another hour *ooops*), and hoped like mad that this time she'd fall asleep quickly and easily... hhhmmm, sometimes I must have memory-lapses and think that I have someone else's kid! Well - we did get 45 minutes out of her, which is a very GOOD car-sleep from her; but it wasn't easy listening to her grizzle herself to sleep.

We stopped in at Hamilton and caught up with some close friends... Button got duly admired by their older girls (they hadn't seen her since October):

Then we carried on down and arrived at Gran and Poppa's in time for lunch (my parents), much to their delight... they had been counting down the sleeps that week, and were thrilled to finally have us there! One thing I never have to question is how much our little girl is loved, she is doted on by family!

So that afternoon was spent getting reacquainted - Button and I had spent a week with my parents in October, so while she takes a little bit of time to warm up; I do think she remembered something of that week! She was funny though, we managed to get two afternoon sleeps out of her - she went down well, I was SO impressed... but she fell asleep sitting up as the cot down there made it much easier for her to pull herself up. Hence why the sleeps were SO short (30-40 minutes each), as she'd woken herself up when she fell over...  and the drool puddle she left; hehehe! It took us a while to work it out, and I am not sure what it was that made it all click - but what a hoot when we realised what she was doing!

The next day my brother and sis-in-law (Amy's Blog) came over from Tauranga to spend the day with us, their son is only 3 weeks younger than Button but we've only met him the once... it was SO good to see them again, and watch the cousins together:

Munchkin & Button getting reaquainted

'Playing together' as only 8 month olds can do!

Say 'cheese'!

At one point during the day we all (except Dad) went for a walk around Lake Moananui - Mr. C carried Button in the front pack (we couldn't fit the stroller into the car when we came down *grin*)... but as he loves taking her out, it was no issue! He is the kind of Dad that lets her try EVERYTHING and see everything - so they wandered around at their own pace, meaning Mum and I got to have a good natter as my brother and Amy went on ahead trying to get their wee lad to have a sleep in the stroller.

Part way round the lake is a lovely playground, parts of it are new - I hadn't seen it, but we won't be forgetting it now either; Mr. C and Button had a lot of fun and she got to try a lot of 'firsts' that day!

And despite what impressions it leaves, Tokoroa can actually be quite picturesque, check out these:

We had one tired little girl by the end of that walk, and only a Mummy-cuddle would do!

My brother & family went home again after dinner and we settled Button for the night - she was fantastic with her day sleeps, but getting her down both evenings was a bit of a challenge. However, once she was down she slept all night... pity we couldn't sleep that second night - there was a party across the road :-(!

Monday saw us spending the day with Mr. C's parents, they had cut their weekend away short in order to make sure they spent some time with us also. It is quite handy in many ways having both sets of parents living in the same town, but in other ways it is also difficult - especially now with a baby, as we have to try and work around her to make sure both sets of Grandparents get time. When it was just us - it made the 'sharing around' SO much easier ;-)! Never mind - it is a blessing having two sets of doting Grandparents who want to spend time with our girl; so I'll happily fit them both in for as long as we need to!

Nana and Daddy
(Doesn't Mr. C look like his Mum!?!)!

Grandad and Nana

There was so much else... loads of fun, loads of laughs, loads of cuddles - I love family! So many photos, so many memories; so little time and space to share them all... but just one more photo:

Then it came to the trip home - we chose to head back north Monday night to avoid the worst of the traffic... but that was NOT something either of us want a repeat of. Button is not a good traveller during the day, but night time is just that much more torturous for her. She pretty much screamed / cried / grizzled from Tokoroa to just south of the Motorway; we'd hoped she'd just put herself to sleep (we left at her bed time on purpose). She hates the lights, so I tried covering her car seat with numerous different things and numerous layers - how she got any air at all is beyond me! I sat in the back most of the way north and sang / talked / cajoled and basically did whatever it took to try and calm her - in the end I put on my growly voice and told her off (which wasn't hard to do by then, as I was at my wits end and she was just over-tired and didn't know how to cope)... well that worked, and she quietened down and put herself to sleep. I so should have thought of that sooner ;-)!

Oh well - we won't be doing that again for a while! But we all survived, and my sweet Mum sent us a text when we got home (had let them know we'd arrived home safely by then) and said that God gave Button the right parents as most people would not cope as well as we do with her! It made me cry as I was so exhausted by then... but you do what you have to do for your kids I guess!

Anyway, lesson well learnt - you won't be reading about a repeat of that trip here any time soon ;-)!

PS - I still have lovely memories of the weekend though, and just try to blank out the trip home ;-)!

People who haven't gotten vaccinated for COVID-19 often have complex reasons for their relunctance or may face other barriers. Lumping them all together undercuts the vaccination campaign.
