This 3-bedroom brick and weatherboard treasure is believed to be the first concrete floor home in Te Awamutu. Built in the 1960s, when the architects of the day were influenced by the “New Zealand, Pacific style”. This honey demonstrates this well with the lower pitch roof, the large glazed areas and the open plan living - a new thing at the time.
The idea that, form should follow function, has been kept with the lovely renovation of the kitchen by the current owners.
You will enjoy the neutral colour tones, tasteful curtains and the spacious feel of this home.
The fully fenced section is completed with the double garage and ample off-street parking.

Spirit Summons are quite impactful in the battles of Elden Ring, and Lhutel The Headless is no exception. Lhutel the Headless is a summon of the Legendary Ashes remains, a decapacitated and unmounted spirit of a Mausoleum Knight that wields a Lance and a Sword.
This headless summon of the Spirit Ashes is often used by most players in Elden Ring, but considering that this is a Legendary summon, is it actually a good one?
Before we move on to that and the rest of the info on Luthel though, we must first learn where to find Lhutel the Headless summon in Elden Ring.
Where to find Lhutel the Headless Summon Spirit Ashes in Elden Ring?
With The Lands Between stretching over such a vast distance, it can become nearly impossible to find Lhutel the Headless Summons’ location in Elden Ring.
To get the legendary Spirit Summon Lhutel the Headless, you must defeat the Cemetery Shade located in the Tombsward Catacombs of the Weeping Peninsula region and obtain the Lhutel Spirit Ash.
Tombsward Catacombs location and walkthrough
You must first make your way to the Tombsward Catacombs in Weeping Peninsula. This location is next to the Minor Erdtree, which you can reach by traveling south from the Church of Pilgrimage Site of Grace.
This is a dangerous dungeon hidden under some broken-down archways, but you’ll find a site of grace right away, so activate it, prepare for a big fight, and move ahead.
Continue down the stairs and take the first left. There will be another staircase there, which you can descend from and then take a right. Walk a little farther ahead, staying to the right, but you need to be cautious of the skeleton enemies in this area.
You’ll find another staircase here and three passages ahead of you; ignore them and take the passage on the left. Continue straight and then take another left for the Lhutel the Headless Summon in Elden Ring.
By this point, you’ll be in a flame-engulfed corridor. Wait a few seconds for the fire to go out. Then dash down the passage and into the alcove on the right. When the flames stop, seize the opportunity to run down the rest of the passage.
As you proceed, you will encounter the source of the fire. Hit it with your weapon, and the source will be lowered. Hop over it and make your way to the platform above.
Keep to your left and proceed ahead. After that, take the first left that you see. Continue straight down the passageway until you reach a robed skeletal statue that has a lever mounted on it.
Pull the lever and jump down from the platform. A staircase will be visible ahead of you, which you need to take to the reach top. Here, you will find two different passageways; but you need to take the one on the left. It will lead to another single passageway; proceed past it.
Afterward, you’ll see a gate to the right. Enter it and take the stairs down. You’ll see a yellow barrier in front of you. Get past it, and you’ll find yourself in a room with the Cemetery Shade waiting for you.
How to defeat the Cemetery Shade in Elden Ring
After all that traversing through the Tombsward Catacombs, you will finally find yourself facing the boss – The Cemetery Shade.
Defeating the Cemetery Shade isn’t that difficult in Elden Ring, as all you need is a simple strategy against it. Simply use the general fighting mechanics, and you’ll be victorious by the end of the fight.
For the major part, you just have to avoid its direct attacks and parry/counter to put an end to this fight. Be wary of its high-damage bleeding slashes though because they can shred your HP fairly quickly. You can use different Summons like the Lone Wolves Ashes to make the fight even simpler.
If you don’t have the Lone Wolves Ashes, you can use any spirit summon that can aggro to get the job done.
You will receive the Lhutel The Headless Summon Spirit as a reward for defeating Cemetery Shade. You can now go to the Spirit Tuner at the Roundtable Hold and upgrade this spirit to improve its performance further.
That’s it on how to get the Luthel the Headless Summon Spirit Ash – now, let’s now look at a general overview of it.
How to summon and use Lhutel the Headless Summon
You can use the brand new Legendary Spirit Ash that you just obtained to summon the headless knight in Elden Ring. This is a powerful summon that employs Lhutel, a decapacitated Mausoleum Knight that wields a magic lance and a shield to protect her.
Lhutel has generally good defensive and offensive stats, tanking a lot of damage and putting in a lot of it in turn. Apart from the heavy armor she has to absorb damage, she also has teleportation abilities that allow her to move away from hordes of enemies.
This grants her superior mobility, which she can in turn use with her lance to deal massive damage to her enemies, inflicting enemies with Death build-up.
Although many enemies in Elden Ring are immune to Death Blight, this headless knight can still be quite useful against bosses just because of her sheer strength and superior combat skill.
The only downside with this summon is that it requires 104 Focus Points and a minimum Mind attribute of 21 to be cast, which is a lot.
You will most often struggle a lot with coughing up that much FP in a fight unless you have the right build focusing on Mind levels.
You can, however, make this Spirit Ash more efficient by upgrading it with Ghost Glovewort at the Roundtable Hold.

Bride Ditches Tradition For A Boogie With Her Dad
When it comes to weddings, tradition plays a huge role in the event. From the color of the bridal dress, to entertaining the guests, to those little bits throughout the ceremony that mark the start of a new life for the happy couple. One of those bits is the dance that the bride shares with her dad, as her final sendoff into a new life with the man she chose to be her partner in crime.
Lately, brides opt out of the traditional swaying to a melody that means a lot to them and their dads and perform a choreography that send everyone present into a frenzy and this girl is no exception!
This awesome dad and daughter duo provided wedding guests with a real treat as they ditched the traditional dance for a boogie through the ages with this awesome mashup. Bride Holly Wolff and her dad Rick Harnsberger from Olmsted Falls, Ohio, USA, popped, locked and jived to some of their favorite songs in front of a few hundred guests at Holly's wedding in October.
Walking onto the dancefloor on and swaying slowly to a Celine Dion classic, all seems relatively normal with this wedding day ritual that Wednesday. That is until a swift spin around is met with a drastic change in music, and ... proves that Rick’s got far more rhythm than your average dad dancer to rapturous applause.
What started out as a traditional father-daughter dance swiftly turned into something than no one attending will ever forget! Check out this other bride from Utah break a dance with her dad and surprising the 400 guests at her wedding reception with an epic dance mashup choreographed to perfection in place of the traditional dance.
Mikayla Ellison Phillips and her dad Nathan Ellison decided to defy wedding tradition by switching from “Butterfly Kisses" to “Can't Touch This", “Party Rock" and “Bye Bye Bye". Mikayla is the oldest child and only daughter, so her father has been convincing her to do a stunt like this and she finally gave in. As it turns out, Mikayla is a professional dancer – she met he now-husband Cody as dance partners in Brigham Young University’s International Folk Dance Ensemble.
The father-daughter duo spent only a week practicing the choreography, which wasn't easy. Dad Nathan is a sales rep for a tech company. Given how she is the only girl in the family, this would be his only opportunity, so they made the time to wow the guests. And boy, did it work! Weddings are moments to celebrate life and create precious memories. Bride go out of their way to create the perfect wedding day. Everything needs to be planned out: the dress, the hair, the bridesmaids, which church, the look of the venue.
It's always beautiful to see the surprises that happen on wedding days. Usually it is the parents surprising the newlyweds, although it has been known to happen the other way around. The surprise can also happen into the form of a unique bride and father dance. This wedding surprise goes down in history as one of the best gifts we have ever seen. Check it out!

You can choose between High-Limit, Carousel, Progressive, or Multi-line slots. There are some myths and gimmicks about slot machines. Here are some of the common misconceptions: – Patterns in the pay window are not indicative of the next pay line. – If the reels seem to be “wiggling”, this may indicate a problem with the machine.
High-limit slots are more expensive than their low-limit counterparts, but you stand a better chance of winning big. High-limit slots often feature progressive jackpots, which grow until they are won. These jackpots can become extremely large very quickly. If you know what to look for in a high-limit slot game, you can maximize your chances of winning big.
High-limit slots are designed for gamblers with large bankrolls and can provide more thrilling experiences. The payout percentages on these machines are also higher than those in regular slots. However, you should remember that high-limit slot machines are still video slots, which means that their odds are still based on luck.
If you like carnivals and the thrill of big prizes, you may want to try Carousel slots. This classic slot machine features 720 ways to win, allowing you to win huge amounts with a few spins. It also features bonus wild symbols and scatter symbols. Matching three or more of the same symbols will award you with two to twenty coins, and matching five Bonus symbols will award you with up to 2,000 coins.
The Carousel slots bonus round is arguably the best part of the game. If you land three or more scatters, you can trigger the Free Games round and win big payouts. You can also trigger the Jackpot Wheel of Fortune bonus round by accumulating at least 2000 JP points. Although the jackpot is smaller than other Slots, it is still a great way to win big prizes. The Carousel slot also features 5 star bonus games that offer additional opportunities to collect prizes beyond your initial wager.
Progressive slots are a type of slot machine that has a jackpot that increases over time. A small percentage of each spin is deducted from the jackpot, and the jackpot continues to grow until someone wins. Then, the jackpot is reset. The largest jackpot in Las Vegas was won in 2003 by a player playing the Megabucks machine.
These machines are often large, and can even reach $10 million. They work on a wide-area network, and millions of players can contribute to the jackpot. They are very popular in the US, and some of the most popular games regularly pay out five-figure jackpots. However, the payouts are not as big as those in land-based casinos.
Multi-line slots have 243 or more paylines. This is more than enough to generate profitable results for most players. The payouts depend on the number of matching symbols that appear on adjacent reels. There is no need to line up these symbols along specific paylines. These symbols may appear anywhere on adjacent reels.
One of the main advantages of multi-line slots is their simplicity and easy gameplay. Players can adjust the number of paylines on the machine to increase their chances of winning. The bet per round can start from a few dollars and go up to $100. Multi-line slots are popular among gamblers for a variety of reasons.
The bonus features in a slot machine are the extra features that you can trigger during the game. Before bonus features, slot games used only symbols alone. This made the experience very simple and repetitive. However, as time passed, software developers began to add more features and mechanics to their games to provide more variety to players.
Bonus features in slot machines are designed to increase the chances of winning and make the gameplay more exciting. These features include jackpots, multipliers, and free spins. They are generally triggered when specific symbols appear on the reels. Many of these bonus features are free and others require you to pay a fee to use them.

Well, all of us has been there and we all know how much it is. You know what I am talking about, collecting superhero stuff! Some time back, the whole craze of superheroes saw a major downfall; but thanks to the superhero movies that have come up recently. They have once again revived those memories, and kids once again have started collecting superhero items. For that very reason, here are some superhero nite lites!
These lights are cool and believe me, every kid would like it. Besides, the creators have already made lights of every famous superhero such as the Green Lantern, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc. Some of these lights come with logos while some come with images of the superheroes. Besides costing only $11.99, they could make any Geek happy. Here is a general description of the size and function of these lights:
The height of these lights is around 4.5 inches, and they are 4 inches wide. These are simple to use plug-in nite lites. Most of the lites are also equipped with automatic sensors which means that they can turn on and off automatically.
Here are the pictures of some of the top lites:
Wonder Woman Symbol Nite Lite:
It’s just a symbol light, and if you want to see Wonder Woman in action then check out the following one.
Wonder Woman Image Nite Lite:
Here comes Wonder Woman in action! She always looks good, and the glowing light makes her look even better. Go finish them Wonder Woman!
Flash Symbol Nite Lite:
Well, unfortunately Flash was only considered for the Symbol Nite Lite. Guess the designers didn’t find him beautiful enough to have his picture on the light!
Green Lantern Symbol Nite Lite:
So goes for Green Lantern! Although I would love to see a better version of the Green Lantern light, right now this is all we have!
The Batman Image Nite Lite:
Spooky and cool as Batman always is!
Batman Symbol Nite Lite:
Batman’s symbol is probably the best one, and we all know that. Combine it with a light, and see the effects yourself!
Superman Symbol Nite Lite:
Finally, the mightiest of them all Superman’s classic symbol is here on the light. All these Nite Lites are available at a price of $11.99!

There's a paradigm shift occurring in the security industry affecting facilities everywhere. Yesterday, security was hosted on site: technology, security data and guards. Today, managed security services allow you to remove clunky hardware while enhancing storage capabilities, and remove excessive security personnel without diminishing the strength of your security force.
There are a variety of organizational advantages for deploying what's commonly called remote security management. With remote or managed security services, the right security partner increases the value of your investment exponentially by designing a security plan that is effective, cost-efficient and focused on your facility’s needs through combining the right technology and the right remote management service.
What are the right applications for the technologies within managed security services, and how does the right partner find the best way to implement these technologies in your own building?
Security guards cost a few hundred thousand dollars a year, and turning over some of their responsibilities to remote security management helps facilities eliminate huge costs. Yet, managed security services are not entirely about the elimination of guards. These services act as a replacement and reinforcement of your existing onsite staff.
Managed security services, in the context of facility management, are what Facility Executive calls "a systematic approach to managing an organization’s security needs." These services are about allowing your security partner to play a more active role in providing your facility with a greater ROI through better technology design.
Today’s security technology is proactive. Motion is detected by a system that alerts a command center of security agents watching between one or two monitors, with managers ensuring trained eyes are seeing everything they can see. In a graveyard shift scenario, this kind of remote security monitoring support is invaluable.
While buildings still need guards on the ground, sometimes security should scale up for a big event. Whether there’s a high-profile athletic event or dignitaries are in town, managed services allow an organization to flip on a switch to double its security force.
While one security integrator might be good at installing a great system, a comprehensive partner is able to manage everything, from designing and implementing the system to hosting and supporting it. Even if your IT team currently supports your onsite security technology, taking this responsibility off of their plate allows them to refocus on core dependencies within the organization.
Let your security partner act as an extension of your organization through remote security management and a tighter, cost-effective security strategy.
Register for our webinar, Managed Security Services: Removing The Hardware, and learn more about how to limit risks and strengthen your system’s security through the right managed services offering.

This is the first in a series of posts during election week 2020, titled, Give to God What Is God’s: Three Rules for (Political) Engagement. Read Rule 1, Rule 2, and Rule 3.
Don’t talk about religion and politics, they say. They can get you in trouble. Maybe that’s why the Sanhedrin asked Jesus a question that involved both, “Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” (Mk. 12:14). Caesar’s image was on the coin, which repulsed the Jews. The Sanhedrin had Jesus cornered. If Jesus insisted on the tax, then he was a religious idolater. If Jesus undermined the legitimacy of the tax, then he was a political revolutionary. Jesus’ reply was brilliant: “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s” (Mk. 12:17). In one sentence Jesus managed to talk about both religion and politics and get himself out of trouble.
We’re Christ-followers. We talk about religion all the time. Let’s talk about politics. Based on the questions I get and the questions I have myself, I think we’re hungry for help in this area. Based on some of what I see in my newsfeeds, I am quite sure we need some help in this area—from civics to civility.
Now, before I write anything more, I need to offer two caveats. First, I write to you as a pastor. I mean to emphasize both words. I’m writing to you as a pastor, as Trent in my role as the pastor for preaching and teaching. This is not an addition to our statement of faith or a new section of our membership covenant or even a word from our elders as a group. Nevertheless, this is an attempt to lead you biblically. I’m writing this to you as a pastor. It should bind your conscience in as far as it is plainly biblical, but there is also a good measure of moral reasoning in what follows. Weigh it all as a good Berean (Acts 17:11). Second, what I’m writing is an exercise in thinking biblically about big things, which is hard and fraught with risk. Consider that preachers have to be experts at a different ancient text every week, but we also have to connect that ancient text to our modern context. The Bible makes sense of everything in the world. But I am not an expert in every field in the world. So, how about a bargain?: I’ll write carefully and you read earnestly.
This is the first in a four-post series that will run from today through Wednesday, the day after the election. This started out as an outline to use over lunch with members. It evolved into an article, and now, on the eve of the election, it has matured into a four-part series. Hey, why not? Politics has our near full attention and I’d like to channel some of that for some instruction.
Let’s talk about politics
Politics can be hard to talk about for many reasons: it’s complex, it’s hard to keep up with, and it deals with matters of great consequence. So, instead of talking about politics, I want to start by talking about politics. That is, about the thing itself. What is it? Work up front on this question will payoff later in this series of posts.
Broadly speaking, politics refers to the activities associated with large group decision-making. Because every person in a group cannot reasonably engage in every decision that effects the group, politics involves the delegation of power over people and the deliberation about the scope and purpose and administration of that authority. If you follow the etymology back, it comes from the Greek word, polis, which means, city. We are citizens of a city (state, nation, etc.) in which we engage in politics, the work of deciding things together. For our purposes we will define politics as the activities involved in human government.Naturally, when we talk about people deciding things together, we are also talking about disagreement. That’s another reason talking about politics can be hard. Politics is the art and science of navigating our disagreements to a conclusion that is both maximally good and agreeable. The quality of that outcome will depend largely on the political processes involved along the way
From God, not God
It is true that politics is messy. It is also true that human governments are responsible for carrying out many great evils. The bigger the governments it seems the greater the potential for evil. But should we think of government as a necessary evil in itself? According to Jesus and the Apostles, no we should not. In fact, it is sin to do so.
When Jesus said, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s,” he recognized the legitimate authority of human government and governors (Mk. 12:17). Governing authorities, Paul writes, are “appointed” and “instituted by God” (Ro. 13:1–2). They are “God’s servant for your good” (Ro. 13:1–4). How are they for our good? As Peter put it, they are “sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good” (1Pet. 2:14). Which means we rightly honor God by honoring governing authorities. We even glorify God by pondering all of the ways in which human government makes our life good (Ro. 13:1; 1Pet. 2:13, 17). Some laws are more just than others. But there’s much to be thankful for, from local traffic laws to copyright law to federal regulations over the airline industry. It’s pretty remarkable all the bad things that never happen.
But don’t miss this: Peter probably had a second audience in mind when he wrote to Christians about the state’s job to punish evil and praise good, namely Roman civil authorities. His inspired words to the church were words for everyone concerning God’s purpose for the state, including governing authorities. That was likely Paul’s secondary purpose in his famous words to the church at Rome in Romans 13, “he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer” (13:4).
This dual insight is significant for how Christians approach politics. Jesus recognized both the legitimate and limited authority of human government and governors. The state is from God, but the state is not God. The state is necessary, but it is not everything. There are certain things the state must do and certain things the state must not do. We are under the state’s authority, yet, more importantly, we are together under God’s authority.
That’s important to keep in mind as we consider how we engage politically.
Three rules for political engagement
So, how should we go about engaging in the political process? That’s what I have in mind to address in this series,Give to God What Is God’s: Rules for (Political) Engagement. I have more in mind here than tone and manner, but we’ll get to that. What I have in mind is more comprehensive: a framework for thinking about, talking about, and engaging in politics. This series comes in the context of the 2020 election, indeed right on top of it. But I mean for it to stand apart from our immediate political moment.
Here are the three rules we’ll explore over the next three days:
- First, understand what you’re doing as an American. Understand your civic context and your civic responsibilities, in particular the purpose of your vote.
- Second, engage in the process as a Christian. Engage with a primary allegiance to Jesus, with biblically ordered Christian concerns, and with expectations calibrated by his promises.
- Third, reserve your greatest energies for the most lasting society, the church. The church will last forever, so let’s be better church members than political party members.
As we work through these together, let’s avoid listening for what we think everyone else needs to hear. Doing that won’t help them hear it, and you might miss what’s in here for you. Some of us are exhausted by the noise of politics and need to hear that politics is important. Others of us are exhausting ourselves (and others) in the political process and need to hear that the church is more important by a longshot. Others are losing sleep in this unique election over what it means to vote and need some help to engage with a clear conscience. In short, I’m writing for all of us because I think all of us need this.
This three-part framework is comprehensive yet easy to remember and it grounds us in biblical priorities without getting into partisan politics.
Maybe it will make talking about politics not such a hard thing after all.

Seven al-Qaeda suspects killed in Yemen drone strike
The overnight strike hit a vehicle parked near the presidential palace in Mukalla, capital of Hadramawt province
Seven suspected al-Qaeda militants were killed in an apparent U.S. drone strike on the Yemeni port city of Mukalla which the militants overran earlier this month, a local official said Wednesday.
The overnight strike hit a vehicle parked near the presidential palace in Mukalla, capital of Hadramawt province, witnesses said.
The United States, whose intelligence agencies consider the Yemen-based al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) to be the most dangerous branch of the militants network, is the only country that operates drones over the war-torn country.
On April 14, AQAP announced the death of one of its ideological leaders, Ibrahim al-Rubaish, in a similar drone strike in Hadramawt.
Al-Qaeda has exploited fighting between rebels and beleaguered government forces backed by a Saudi-led coalition to consolidate its grip on the southeastern province.
U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has acknowledged that al-Qaeda is gaining ground but has vowed that Washington will keep up its battle against the group.

Defying law, Indian farm group says it planted unapproved GM cotton seeds
Updated : June 10, 2019 10:30 PM IST
It is the first time farmers, who argue that they shouldn't be deprived of any new technology, have acknowledged planting the herbicide-tolerant cotton variety, which was developed by German drugmaker Bayer AG's Monsanto unit.
India approved the use of genetically modified (GM) cotton seeds in 2002 and an upgraded variety in 2006, helping transform the country into the world's top producer and second-largest exporter of the fiber.

I was inspired by this quote the other day, that expresses exactly what my art and photography processes are like. By author Mark Nepo, "I believe that all art, and all of what art expresses, is already fully formed somewhere in the very fabric of things - just waiting for us to discover it and express it...In this way, all creativity is a discovery of what is already present but otherwise unseeable."

Scheduled for Louisville and Lexington
FRANKFORT, Ky. (May 4, 2016) — The Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) will hold public meetings later this month in Louisville and Lexington to hear public comments on environmental compliance plans and associated environmental surcharge requests submitted by Kentucky Utilities Co. (KU) and Louisville Gas & Electric Co. (LG&E).
The public comment meetings will be preceded by an information session during which PSC staff will explain the environmental compliance review process and the legal basis for the surcharge, which applies only to electric rates. The presentation will include an overview of the KU and LG&E applications.
KU and LG&E are seeking PSC authorization to spend a total of about $994 million to comply with new federal environmental requirements regarding the storage of coal ash and other combustion byproducts at coal-fired power plants, as well as stricter rules governing emissions of mercury and other toxic air emissions.
If the proposals are approved, the utilities estimate that total electric bills for LG&E customers would increase by about 2.5 percent by 2020, while KU customers would see total bills increase by about 3.4 percent by 2019. The bill impacts then decline through 2024 for both utilities.
Since 1994, Kentucky laws and regulations have allowed utilities such as KU and LG&E to recover environmental compliance costs separately from their general rates. The costs are recovered through a surcharge that appears as a separate item on electric bills.
“The environmental surcharge mechanism affects the majority of electric customers in Kentucky,” PSC vice chairman Daniel Logsdon said. “The meetings are an opportunity for the public to learn more about this important matter and for PSC to hear directly from the ratepayers.”
The information sessions will begin at 5:30 p.m. EDT. They will last an hour and will include a presentation by PSC staff and a question-and-answer period focusing on PSC process. For those unable to attend, the presentation will be available on the PSC website, psc.ky.gov, beginning May 23.
The public comment portion of each meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. EDT. The meetings are scheduled for:
Louisville: May 23, 5:30 p.m., Valley High School, 10200 Dixie Highway
Lexington: May 26, 5:30 p.m., Bluegrass Community and Technical College, Leestown Road Campus, 164 Opportunity Way
The Louisville meeting is being held primarily to take public comments regarding the LG&E case, but comments also will be taken from KU customers. The Lexington meeting is intended primarily for KU customers.
Both LG&E and KU are subsidiaries of PPL Corp. Kentucky Utilities has about 506,000 electric customers in 77 counties across Kentucky. Louisville Gas & Electric has about 400,000 electric customers in nine counties in the Louisville area. LG&E’s 321,000 natural gas customers are not affected by this case.
LG&E is proposing to spend $311 million to close and cap ash ponds at its Mill Creek generating plant in Jefferson County and its Trimble County generating plant and to construct new facilities to handle water that can no longer be discharged to ash ponds. LG&E also is planning $5 million in improvements to air emission controls.
The utility estimates that an average LG&E residential customer using 976 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month (a kilowatt-hour is the amount of electricity used by a 100-watt light bulb in 10 hours) will see the monthly bill increase by 73 cents this year, with a peak monthly rate impact of $2.26 in 2020.
KU is seeking authorization to spend a total of $678 million for new environmental compliance projects. They include closures of ash ponds at its Ghent plant in Carroll County and at three closed generating plants: Green River in Muhlenberg County, Tyrone in Woodford County and Pineville in Bell County.
The KU plan also includes new water handling systems at the Ghent plant and at its Brown plant in Mercer County. Expansion of an ash landfill at the Brown plant also is included, as are air emission control improvements at the Brown and Ghent plants. Finally, KU will share the cost of improvements at the Trimble County plant, which produces power for both it and LG&E.
The utility estimates that an average KU residential customer using 1,146 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month will see the monthly bill increase by $2.16 this year, with a peak monthly rate impact of $3.54 in 2019.
The KU and LG&E applications and related documents are available on the PSC website, psc.ky.gov. The case numbers are 2016-00026 (KU) and 2016-00027 (LG&E).
A narrated slideshow explaining the environmental surcharge mechanism and environmental compliance plans is available on YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvGmPHRtdNk.
In addition to the public meetings, the PSC will conduct a combined formal evidentiary hearing in the cases on June 14, beginning at 10 a.m. EDT. The hearing will be held at the PSC offices at 211 Sower Boulevard in Frankfort, and may last several days. It will be open to the public and may be viewed live on the PSC website.
Written comments will be accepted through the conclusion of the evidentiary hearing. They may be mailed to the PSC at P.O. Box 615, Frankfort, KY 40602, faxed to 502-564-9625, e-mailed from the PSC website or submitted in person at the public meetings or at the PSC offices.
PSC is an independent agency attached for administrative purposes to the Energy and Environment Cabinet. It regulates more than 1,500 gas, water, sewer, electric and telecommunication utilities operating in Kentucky and has approximately 85 employees.

The TES is reporting that skills minister Robert Halfon says schools ‘need to do a huge amount’ to promote take-up of Stem apprenticeships among women.
Mr Halfon, speaking today in Westminster Hall during a session on financial support for apprentices, said that schools “need to do a huge amount” to provide adequate careers advice to students in order to offset a “cultural problem” of stereotyping professions based on gender.
“We have 53 per cent female apprentices…53 per cent but very few doing Stem subjects,” he said. “So if I go to a college or place, go to a room, [and visit] healthcare [for example], it will all be females, [with] one or two men in there. Of course it’s fantastic that they’re doing it. [But] I go into a room of engineering or electrical it’s all men. That has got to change.”
He added: “A lot of that comes from careers in the schools. So I was told by one student yesterday that when they were given careers advice they had pictures so there was all the kind of engineering jobs were men and then they had a nurse as a woman, as a picture…things like that. This is why we face a problem, there’s a cultural problem in our country and schools need to do a huge amount more to promote apprenticeships and skills.”
Earlier in the debate, Gordon Marsden, shadow minister for higher education, further education and skills, said that, on average, male apprentices were paid £1 an hour more than women, and that this divide would “play havoc” with the government’s aspirations of recruiting more women into Stem careers.

I must admit that when I first laid eyes on Vampires 2014 debut album, with that glowing eye Death emerging from a pile of leafs, in combination with the somewhat cheesy name, I thought I was in for some tongue in cheek-project in the vein of early Whitchery. The music although spoke for itself and it was clear that Vampire meant business and now they are back with their third full length “REX”, same cheesy band name but a way more sinister cover, which goes hand in hand with the furious thrashing death that makes up the music!
“REX” starts with something that unusual as an intro that doesn’t annoy me, but actually works like a nice build up for the discharge that comes when Vampire furiously takes off with the brilliant piece of violence that is the title track of the album!
Next up is the more Heavy Metal-oriented “Inspiritus” and so the album continues on, with a mix of fast, fierce death thrash like “Wiru-Akka” and “Malek-Taus” and (a bit) more laid back numbers as the mentioned “Inspiritus” and the “Vampire goes Kreator-89”-sounding riff-fest “Pandemoni”.
Luckily, the fast paced songs stands for the majority of the albums playing time, since they, although nothing sounds bad, without doubt are what Vampire does best.
“REX” rightfully does sound real chaotic, not only because the production is a nice nod back to the extreme metal of the eighties and Hand of Doom’s phenomenal aggressive vocal style, that fits the music like a glove, but mostly due to the fact that there is something going on in each and every riff! No song and no riff are allowed to stagnate and the mix of sheer brutality and the “a bit off”-melodies are very well balanced, leaving you with music that never gets boring and actually groves with every spin of the album.
If you are into bands like Nifelheim, Merciless and Possessed and haven’t yet heard Vampire you should definitely give them a chance, and although all albums are good, “REX” is absolutely not a bad album to start off with!
Label: Century Media records
Date of release: 19/06-20

As much as I’d love to start this post with a Muppet-related joke, for the sake of decency I won’t . Instead, this is all about my impending gardening adventure! Wooooo! I’m a firm believer that adding the word ‘adventure’ to anything takes it from the mundane to the awesome.
I’m lucky to have a large, if ‘rugged’, back garden, and this is the year I finally do something with it. Last year I tried laying some grass seed in the hope that a lawn might magically appear like some kind of lush green carpet, but given the fact that the garden is a) really lumpy and uneven, and b) covered in weeds and random plants, what I’ve ended up with is slightly greener scrubland. The sheer amount of work it would need to make a bowling green style lawn is beyond me, so instead I intend to get my ‘Good Life’ on and grow me some food.
I’ve already planned what’s going where, and although that’ll no doubt change in no time at all, I’ve already made a start. I got out in the garden last weekend with a cultivator and spade and started to dig the first rectangular bed. Hours later, and in a lot of pain, I was a bit further forward, but came up against my first real obstacle – the old extension.
When the old extension on the back of the house was knocked down the rubble was used to build the garden up, so there’s about an inch (if that) of top soil before it’s rock city; and I don’t mean Detroit. As much as I love Rock, the broken bricks, blocks and tiles make it impossible to get a spade in without hitting something solid, and by the end of the afternoon my hands were killing me from hitting stone after stone. However, not being one to be beaten easily, I have a plan of action.
Firstly I’m going to invest in a decent garden fork in order to break the ground up properly and get the biggest of the rubble out. After that I’m going to line the edge of the beds with boards (having a friend who works for a timber yard has its bonuses), and finally I’ll top the beds up with compost. This will effectively give me slightly raised beds, but will also help give a few inches for my vegetable bounty to take root. Once the really hard work’s out of the way we should be on our way into Spring, and I’ll be able to get the seeds and bulbs into the ground.
So far my crop will consist of peas, corn, garlic, broccoli, potatoes, chillies, carrots and spring onions on the vegetable front, and I’ll be planting raspberries, apples (I know, long-term plans), cherries and anything else I can think of and have room for. The rear garden gets more sunshine than the front which is why it’s all getting planted out there. This does mean I’ll have to turn the front garden into a lawn, but it’s going to be less of a mission than the back. I can’t wait to be picking things and eating them fresh at summer barbecues.
Pictures of progress to follow, loyal people-so-bored-they-read-this.

The YOUOU Aircraft Cup is a revolutionary new male masturbation device that is made to feel just like the various body parts of a female such as her mouth, ass, or vagina. This is truly the best feeling and most accurate feeling male masturbation gadget on the market today. It is made from a new and innovative latex that feels more like real skin than any other material on the earth.
The exterior design of the Aircraft Cup looks just like a flashlight, so no one will be wise enough to realize just what this gadget is if they happen upon it in your home. You can leave it on the dresser and the kids if they happen to walk into your room will not think a thing at all.
The interior of the Aircraft Cup is very realistic feeling and if you immerse the inner lining in warm water before using you can actually bring it up to body temperature. This will be a real treat for your penis, as it will feel even more like a vagina, mouth, or ass.
During masturbation, men can enjoy the sensations of different parts of the body to provide extra sensations and more arousal. This lining will definitely enhance the experience from start to finish. The texture of each lining is similar to the body part where they are created, so that if you close your eyes, you may not be able to feel the difference.
The airplane cup is a sex toy that does not have to be used by men alone. This can be a toy that can be used for couples' adventures like a vibrator. The idea is to enjoy your sexual contact, whether alone or with that special person. The Aircraft Cup achieved this goal. If you don't want to suck at every level of your experience, then mess up the ending. Of course, if you are using a butt lining, you will not be able to experience a real life experience if the Aircraft cup is sucked away. Try the various feelings that the Aircraft Cup can provide, and you will be truly satisfied in many ways.

Sue Klipsch gave a fantastic demonstration on silk caps and hankies. Several different silk preparations were shown and discussed, including tussah top, bombyx bricks, silk noil, recycled sari silk and caps.
She explained that caps and hankies (also known as mawata) are comprised of many thin layers of silk taken off cocoons and stretched over a frame or form to dry.
Sue particularly emphasized that when working with silk caps and hankies spending time exfoliating and moisturizing your hands is a very good idea.
Because the layers are so thin they are apt to catch and snag on rough skin and nails. Barb Keyes suggested using nitrile gloves as an alternative way to cut down on snags.
Sue then demonstrated how to separate individual layers from a cap, open a cap layer in the center and begin pulling the layer into a circle of roving.
From there, Sue showed the group how she uses the roving to ply with wool. She said she also likes to card the roving with other fibers.

Paul McCartney Postpones First U.S. Tour Dates to Recover
Paul McCartney has been forced to delay several first dates of his U.S. tour as he's still recovering from a virus. The former member of The Beatles announced the postponement and apologized to fans in a statement posted on his website on Monday, June 9.
"I'm sorry but it's going to be a few more weeks before we get rocking in America again. I'm feeling great but taking my docs' advice to take it easy for just a few more days. Look forward to seeing you all soon," the veteran singer wrote.
McCartney was supposed to kick off his U.S. tour on June 14 in Lubbock, TX. The show, along with six other postponed shows, will now take place in October. Tickets for the original June dates will be honored for the new dates. The tour will resume as planned on July 5 in Albany, NY.
McCartney came down with a virus after he landed in Japan. He subsequently canceled all his shows in the country. He also canceled his scheduled appearance in Korea.

Reebok Sneaker Inspires Face Mask Design
It can be a risky move to challenge something rooted in heritage.
But that didn’t stop designer and sneaker collector, Zhijuan Wang from dreaming up a way to re-purpose Reebok’s latest contemporary silhouette. Wang took an unexpected twist on the ZOKU RUNNER and turned it into a stylized face mask.
“The design of the ZOKU RUNNER looks simple, based on the classic DNA with the knit upper,” says Wang. “But I loved taking on the challenge of executing a set of special masks for men and women with a sneaker that was made from such a longstanding classic history.”
Inspired by three generations of Classic silhouettes that came before it, the Aztec, Classic Leather and Dual Pump Runner, the ZOKU RUNNER has redefined what it means to be classic. So it only makes sense that Wang chose it as the silhouette for his most recent project.
Designing masks made from sneakers has become a passion of Wang’s and it started with his love for running.
“I’ve been an amateur runner since 2010 but because of the air pollution in China, I ended up needing to find protection for myself,” he says. “At that time, it wasn’t easy to get a mask with both good design and function in China. “
Wang says his next decision just made sense and jokes that consumers shouldn’t be concerned over cleanliness, his masks are made from sneakers that are “fresh out of the box.”
“I love to collect sneakers so I decided to create a mask for myself from the materials of sneakers,” he says.
Keeping the look and feel of the ZOKU RUNNER intact was important to Wang. He says it’s the design process he enjoys the most.
“I really enjoy the meditation and brainstorming process before making them,” he says.
“I spend a big part of the time on creating without any sketch or template. Almost every piece of my sneaker mask was handcrafted from the materials of only one pair of shoes. It’s quite a challenge to me using such limited materials and keeping the original design of the shoes on the shape of mask.”
Wang never expected the sneaker masks he creates to take off like they have. Since 2014 he’s made about 40 and now people are even wearing them as fashion statements.
“It was no longer personal artwork,” says Wang. “My sneaker masks are hyped by people as a trend. It was a surprise to me that people were asking to show my masks in other creative projects as a style accessory.”
For him, these masks are more than just an accessory, they’re meant to make people think outside of the box.
Wang plans to continue creating timeless masks that challenge convention with the ZOKU RUNNER as the latest addition to his collection.
“The meaning of ZOKU matched the idea of my masks — Nonstop, to be continued, seeking the possibilities from the unknown part of life and changing the views of life in the future,” he says.
“I wish to improve the masks with my inspirations and feelings on life. That means to me a lot.”

Beyoncé is once again bestowing her latest Adidas x Ivy Park designs on her famous friends.
On Wednesday, Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington took to Instagram to show off their care packages from the pop superstar-turned-fashion mogul, 39.
The “Little Fires Everywhere” co-stars both modeled a bronze metallic puffer coat from the “Icy Park” collection, which won’t be available for the general public to shop until Friday, February 19.
Witherspoon, 44, climbed into the giant gift box with her French bulldog, Minnie Pearl. “I’ll be here all day… thank you @beyonce for my new home office and my awesome new gear!” she wrote.
Washington, 44, struck a series of poses outdoors in her new jacket. “Ready for a chair lift to take me up to the slopes!!! I’m sure that’s what’s she gonna send next, right?! Thank you so much @beyonce! We both love the new #IcyPark gifts,” she captioned her post.
The gifts clearly incited a bit of envy; “I’m so jealous it’s so good,” Rachel Zoe commented on Washington’s post, while Jennifer Garner wrote, “It’s kind of smashing on you, friend,” on Witherspoon’s.
Gabourey Sidibe was among the first to receive her Ivy Park, posing in pink sweats, tracksuits in nude latex and baby blue nylon and more looks from the line. “Now I don’t know how to act,” she joked. “Thank you @adidasoriginals and obviously @beyonce cuz I’m mos def finna do squats in these brown joints!”
It’s likely that more stars will be showing off their “Icy Park” presents in the coming days, as Beyoncé gifted her past Adidas x Ivy Park collections to Laverne Cox, Zendaya, Cardi B, Kehlani, Janelle Monáe and more.

This research is focused on the development of a nonlinear cascade-based control algorithm for a laboratory helicopter-denominated Twin Rotor MIMO System (TRMS). The TRMS is an underactuated nonlinear multivariable system, characterised by a coupling effect between the dynamics of the propellers and the body structure, which is caused by the action-reaction principle originated in the acceleration and deceleration of the propeller groups. Firstly, this work introduces an extensive description of the platform’s dynamics, which was carried out by splitting the system into its electrical and mechanical parts. Secondly, we present a design of a nonlinear cascade-based control algorithm that locally guarantees an asymptotically and exponentially stable behaviour of the controlled generalised coordinates of the TRMS. Lastly, a demonstration of the effectiveness of the proposed approach is provided by means of numerical simulations performed under the MATLAB®/Simulink® environment.

Some authors, even when dedicated overall to the art of unsettling their readers, pull their punches when it comes to horror stories about children. Not so J. Ashley-Smith, whose debut collection The Measure of Sorrow is full of parents and children lost in a world of darkness, grasping for meaning and connection, and often using the latter as a proxy for the helplessness of the human condition writ large. Throughout these ten stories Ashley-Smith exhibits a real gift for character and setting, adroitly situating readers in the headspace and isolating surroundings of his protagonists. Ironically, perhaps, given the overall incredibly bleak affect of the work, I found the actual rhetoric of his horror scenes somewhat less compelling, with the weird irruptions of the stories sometimes weakened in efficacy by cliche and vagueness.
My favorite work here, “The Family Madness,” is about a pair of siblings exiled to live with their uncle, possibly mad, after their mother, definitely mad, is institutionalized. It perfectly captures the exhaustion of the brother, the older of the two, whose life has been spent keeping his sister safe and nurtured in the face of the abuse and neglect of their parental figures. The flashbacks to their time with their mother are particularly effective, the unutterable horror of her manic episodes leaving the boy wishing his mother was dead – better that definitive horror than “this in-between place, this tangle of hope and despair.” The weird elements here – the uncle’s graphomanic “workshop,” the horrors opened up by his experiments, nicely linked to uncanny costumes and skins and puppeteering, thematically tying inner darknesses with outer appearance – are some of the strongest in the collection, but even here it almost feels like Ashley-Smith doesn’t fully commit:
“[t]he bits that Nathan had scribbled in English made no sense either. He referred often to “The Opus,” wrote as frequently of “The Opening” or “The Breach,” and peppered every note with magic-sounding hokum words like “The Beyond,” “The Umbral Prince,” or “The Wasting Shade.” It was gibberish, the ravings of a madman convinced of some inscrutable higher purpose.”
The names here fall a little flat, but more concerning, to me, is the preemptive dismissal of them as “magic-sounding hokum words.” It’s almost like the author himself doesn’t take them seriously, so the reader can’t be expected to either. What’s jarring is that he simultaneously fully commits to the inexorable nightmare logic of the narrative itself, doing nothing to soften the blow of a horror story centered on abandoned children. The narrative motion of “The Boon,” another favorite, is similar. A boy and his mother have just moved from a city to a small village, leaving the child isolated, lonely, and miserable – “[t]here was so little to do in the country. So little to distract him from that desolate, empty feeling.” This time, rather than the parental figure bringing harm to the child, it’s his peers, but the end result is much the same. Nature here literalizes the weird horror of the world, cut off from society and placed instead by an ominous forest that “might have been a cut in the world, an opening between earth and sky within which lay hidden movements and shadow.”
This is how nature presents in many of these stories, an isolating factor outside of city or suburban life; it’s perhaps telling that Ashley-Smith is a Brit long residing in Australia. In “The Family Madness” the children have moved from urban life with their mother to isolation with the uncle, in the collection’s titular novella we find a grieving father and son vacationing at an isolated farm, while “Old Growth” finds a divorced father driving into a forest, post-fire, with his distant, alienated children. The oppressing grotesquerie of nature reaches an extreme in “Our Last Meal,” a wonderfully spiteful post-breakup story about an asshole who finds kinship with the rats and leeches surrounding his ex’s family cabin in the jungle. “You’re draining the life from me,” his ex had said, while he continues to self-righteously protest that he had remade himself into “exactly what she needed” (her opinions to the contrary serve only to annoy him). It’s saturated with the kind of self-righteous disgust endemic to the narcissists of the world, and a strong example of the strength Ashley-Smith brings to his character work. The lack of a supernatural horror element means that he can render the abject horror of the predatory natural world perfectly.
The collection’s opener, “The Further Shore,” one of my favorites here, takes a more otherworldly approach to the isolating effects of nature in a Brian Evenson-esque absurdist epistemological collapse; civilization and perhaps reality itself left behind in favor of a beach haunted by vague night terrors, three men at a time populating a beach cabin and replaced, without memory, one by one as they die or vanish. As the opening salvo of the collection, it feels like a bit of misdirection in terms of setting with its unreality and lack of familial dynamics, but thematically prepares the reader for story after story questioning the utility of our search for meaning in the face of despair.
The isolation of nature also underlies “The Measure of Sorrow” itself, a novella which takes up a quarter of the book, and which unfortunately I found one of the less effective stories here. Centered on a father and son, united in a “grief that had no end” after losing their wife/mother, vacationing on a farm (which the son hates) whose ancient, haunted barn where “the storehouse of our minds is a living thing, bottomless and blind,” measuring our sorrows with the gap between darkest memories and public appearances. The narrative also bounces to italicized first-person flashbacks from the farm’s previous owner, who spent his childhood with a Nazi family in Germany, and the current owners, a woman in the final stages of pregnancy, and her depressive wife, the active farmer of the pair. The vagueness of the latter stands out starkly against the sharpness of the other characters, which undercuts her tragic narrative arc. In true Ashley-Smith fashion, in this story that features murderous Nazis, an evil genius loci, and a creepy barn, the most distressing scene involves the father and son yelling at one another. The barn, haunting and haunted but never effectively creepy or solid to this reader, feels almost incidental to all of the human dramas erupting around it.
For all that these stories have little to do with stereotypical Lovecraftian cosmic horror, the motivational fear at their root is the loss (or impossibility) of human connection in an indifferent universe. Ashley-Smith excels at the human touch, and if he strengthens the affect of the weird in his prose, already inherent in stories like “The Family Madness” and “The Further Shore”, he will be a writer to watch.

A MAMMOTH display of World War I artefacts and Tasmanian stories will be told in Launceston during a three-year exhibition to commemorate the Anzac Centenary.
The Great War 1914-1918: Sacrifice and Shadows exhibition will be on show at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery starting in August.
Curator and QVMAG history registrar Louise James said various programs would run throughout the exhibition and that adjustments would be made along the way.
``It is a little bit different to an ordinary exhibition in that people tend to think that we are putting on objects for display and letting them do the interpretation,'' she said.
``We will be doing that but we also look at people's response to big events, so our exhibition is a very personal exhibition based around people in Tasmania and how they coped with the war. It will show the personalities and characteristics of those people that survived the war.
``I am hoping it is not too sad as there are some wonderful stories.''
Key objects to be displayed include:
German light machine gun: A machine gun used by the German army and captured by the 12th battalion.
``We don't know where it came from, but in came in 1972 with the (Dudley) Ranson collection,'' Mrs James said
``Hopefully someone might know which platoon and where they captured it.''
Turkish hand gun: A Turkish hand souvenired by Westbury soldier Earnest Frank Daft, who served as a farrier on the Western Front.
Daft signed up in 1915, went to Gallipoli and returned in 1919.
``I don't know how he got it because most people that brought things back were quiet about it, as they weren't supposed to,'' Mrs James said.
German hand grenade: Nicknamed ``potato mashers'', the German hand grenade had several advantages over the British mills bombs. Mrs James said they were carefully hung on barbed wire fences as a booby trap, could be thrown further and were a lot less likely to roll downhill.
However, soldiers couldn't carry as many.
Sergeant Lewis McGee's Victoria Cross: The Victoria Cross of Sergeant Lewis McGee, of Avoca, will be on display and his story told.
McGee was awarded the honour following his bravery in the Battle of Broodseindepart of the Passchendaele offensive in 1917, where he sacrificed his life to save his platoon that was under heavy machine gun fire.
Mrs James said McGee grabbed his revolver, ran across an open field and captured German machine gun troops so his men could advance. McGee was killed eight days after his efforts. He was 29.
Bronze Anzac statue: Made in 1922 by self-taught sculptor Charles Web Gilbert, the bronze statue of an Anzac digger is a miniature of the memorial at Broken Hill. It is modelled on a real soldier and is said to be a trial for the Broken Hill structure.
It was given to the museum in 1934 by Sir John Ramsey and its bayonet was unscrewed and stolen while on display in 1940.
WHAT: The Great War 1914-1918: Sacrifice and Shadows.
WHEN: From August onwards.
WHERE: Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, Inveresk.
