Serving dinner to the homeless on Friday nights, helping stabilize blood donors with juice and crackers, putting books on shelves and sending Valentine’s Day cards to soldiers over seas. These are some of the activities students at Keyes Charter School will volunteer to do.
Keyes Charter School has created a friendly competition between each class from grade seven to 12 to donate hours for communities around the area. They are hoping to accomplish more than 800 volunteer hours.
Volunteering was required in the past for eighth grade students, but this is the first year the whole school is competing between classes to get the most volunteer hours, said Vicki Harmon, adviser for Keyes Charter School.
“We started this competition because the students react to a little competition and it is a fun way to volunteer,” Harmon said. “They are playing a game of competition and giving back to the community.”
Classes are working with the Modesto Gospel Mission, Habitat for Humanity, American House, Delta Blood Bank and Keyes Charter School. One class chose to volunteer helping local veterans and the Armed Forces.
Each class got the first couple of weeks to pick their organization and now they can start volunteering after their orientations, Harmon said. The students are also encouraged to bring friends or family members to volunteer and their hours are also counted toward the competition.
The students’ deadline to get all their volunteer hours in is the end of the school year, Harmon said. They will announce the winners in May and the winning team will receive a pizza party, a plaque and an announcement at the school board meeting.
“Overall, they all win because they are all donating and giving back to the community,” she said.
The school is asking for about 10 hours during the school year from each student. That will give the school at least 800 volunteer hours put together. Harmon is hoping this will instill a new lifestyle into her students.
“These kids all have time for community service, they watch at least 10 hours of television a week so they can put in some volunteer hours,” Harmon said.
“They are not only helping strangers but they are changing themselves into a richer person.”

Syracuse, NY -- A Syracuse man crashed the suspect’s vehicle blocks away from a shootout with an Onondaga County sheriff’s deputy earlier this month that left another man in the suspect’s car dead, according to court papers.
Vaughn Sanders, 27, was one of three people arrested Wednesday in the July 16 incident on the city’s North Side. Vaughn is accused of trying to murder the undercover deputy, who was doing surveillance on an unrelated case.
Sheriff Gene Conway characterized the July shooting as an “ambush” on Detective Mark Grady. The detective, who was not struck by gunfire, took cover and fired back.
After the shootout, Sanders drove from the scene in the rented Kia before crashing blocks away, court papers say. The occupants of the vehicle fled, leaving a mortally wounded man behind in the vehicle.
One of the other suspects, Keenan Davis, 20, was recently acquitted of manslaughter in the stabbing death of an adversary in October 2018 on the city’s North Side. A jury found Davis guilty only of using a knife illegally that night, a conviction that was sealed due to his age.
In regards to the shootout, Sanders was charged with attempted murder and weapons possession. Davis faces a weapons charge. No information about Davis’s alleged involvement was immediately available, but it does not appear he is suspected of being in the vehicle that night.
Another man, Jonqual Thornton, 23, has also been charged with attempted murder and weapon possession. He’s accused of being one of three occupants in the vehicle the night.
Besides Sanders and Thornton, the third man in the rental car was Aaron Hudson, 31, of Syracuse, deputies said. Hudson died from injuries sustained during the shootout. It’s unclear if he was killed by gunfire from his vehicle, or by the deputy’s return fire.
At least two guns were fired at the deputy during the shootout, which happened at the corner of Carbon Street and the tiny, one-way Commonwealth Avenue, according to court papers.
The incident began around 11 p.m. July 16 when Grady saw someone being thrown from the rental vehicle in the parking lot of a car wash at North Salina Street and LeMoyne Avenue, Conway has said.
Grady, in an unmarked vehicle and civilian clothes, followed the suspect’s Kia a few blocks to Carbon and Commonwealth. There, according to Conway, the Kia stopped and its occupants started firing back at Grady’s vehicle.
Grady jumped out and took cover behind his vehicle before returning fire. Witnesses told Syracuse.com at least 15 shots were fired during the incident.
Afterward, court papers say, Sanders drove the vehicle from the scene before crashing not far away at LeMoyne Avenue and Lodi Street -- a block from where the incident began.
Detectives were able to find surveillance footage in the area showing the suspects fleeing the crashed Kia, leaving Hudson behind to die.
Sanders was identified by clothing found at the scene, deputies said.
All three suspects -- Sanders, Thornton and Davis -- remained jailed as their cases awaits grand jury action.
Editor’s note: A previous version of this story incorrectly identified one of the suspects as a sex offender. The story has been corrected.

How refugee parents comfort their children
Hugs. Kisses. Cuddles. Small reassurances. Big promises.
Regardless of the method, every parent strives to provide the same things for their child: A warm home, a life of joy, and the feeling that, no matter what, they are safe and protected.
A war, however, makes this a monumental task. The usual challenges of being a child — bumps, bruises, the occasional lost toy — increase tenfold. Falling bombs, destruction, and the loss of loved ones, homes and schools become the daily reality. Comfort remains critical but is much more challenging to give.
In five years of conflict in Syria, over 80 percent of the country’s children have been touched by violence like this in some way. Millions are out of school, in need of humanitarian aid and at risk of losing their futures.
Of the 4.8 million Syrians who have been forced out of the country, over half are children.
Despite these circumstances, their mothers and fathers manage to bring them times of happiness and relief. We asked some of them how they ease their children’s fears — this is what they said.
They give them pets
“I try my best to keep my children happy with the only means that I have,” Ayman says. “I play with them a lot. I try to make them laugh by tickling them. I got them two birds and when they wake up in the morning the first thing that they love to do is to open the cage of the birds and watch them fly, and I hear their laughter, and I feel that they are happy. But I know this is not enough.”
Ayman, his wife and their two daughters, ages 1 and 2, live in an old math classroom in an abandoned school in Lebanon. He can’t find work and the family struggles with severe hunger and poverty every day. Every resource Ayman does have is invested in his daughters’ wellbeing — he frequently goes days without eating so he can buy food and diapers for his girls.
“I am willing to be hungry and to be sleepy,” he says. “I don’t want anything for myself … but I want the best for my children because they deserve the best. My children are my whole life.”
They make up stories
“[My son] used to ask, ‘What's happening?’ when he heard bullets. I told him they were shooting birds,” Daad* says. “I was happy to give him that idea. When they were shooting heavily and he would see me afraid, he would say, ‘Don't worry, Mama! They're shooting birds.’”
Despite the war around them, Daad and her husband held onto their life in Syria as long as they could, leaving only after their family was threatened. Now, as refugees in Lebanon, Daad is doing everything she can to turn a rudimentary tent into a safe home for her family.
“I always talked with my husband about how we need to work harder to make a better life for our children,” she says. “We don’t know now what’s happening, but even if we get tired, we’ll still work hard because these children deserve a better life.”
*Name has been changed to protect identity and safety.
They hold them close
“The situation [was] hard in Syria,” Walaa says. “When we heard planes, I tried to say that it was very far away, not happening here. Whenever a bomb fell or we heard an explosion, we made sure that our children were near us to help them feel safe.”
But when a rocket landed on their home in Idlib, Syria and severely burned her daughter, Fatima, there was nothing left to do or say. The war was on top of them; they had to run.
Now, in Greece, Walaa uses cash assistance from Mercy Corps to support her children, treating them to a small package of peanuts or a soda when she can. “So they can forget the hunger and the horrible days they’ve lived. So they can be happy,” she says.
And until the sight of soldiers and the sound of planes no longer send her children into fits of tears, Walaa will keep them near.
“We always try to have them close to us so they feel safe. Because what’s safer than being in your arms?”
They remind them they are safe — now
“[I say] you’re safe here and you will not see what you’ve seen in Syria,” Hanan says.
Her young children, all of whom are under the age of 5, have only known war in their lifetimes. When they arrived on the shores of Lesbos, Greece, with Hanan, they expected to find violence and destruction there, too.
“When we arrived on this island there were many planes flying over, and that made them scared. It was very hard for them to adjust,” Hanan says. “But I try always to comfort them and make them aware that these are normal things and there is no war in this country.”
“And I am trying to do activities with them like speaking English [and] going with them to different activities to make their life normal again. Bit by bit they are actually adjusting very well.”
They make them laugh
“To make a child happy you have to give him all of his needs, but I can’t give him all of his needs,” Modyan says. “But what I can do for the moment is make them laugh and make them smile. That’s all I can do.”
Modyan and his family fled Syria when shelling and war planes closed in on their town. They now live in an abandoned school in Lebanon and have no income to provide food, water, medical care or proper shelter for their children.
Modyan laments he can’t give his children everything they need, so he tries to give them plenty of playtime and affection instead. “I caught you. I’m catching you. I have you!” he says, tickling his young son.
“I love my kids. They’re always with me,” he continues. “[But] they have nothing. They have nothing. The only thing that we can give them is emotions. Emotions and love. That’s the only thing we can do.”
They help them remember the good times
“I will revive the memory of our house in Syria by telling them ‘Do you remember this? Do you remember that?’” Rabah adds.
Reminding her children of happy memories and making connections to their life in Syria is Rabah’s way of helping her children cope with what they’ve been through — and what they’ve lost.
“If my daughter sees something she likes, let’s say a tree or a house, or she saw something — a blanket — whatever it is. I will tell her ‘Do you remember we used to have this tree at your grandpa’s house? Do you remember your grandmother used to knit just like this?’ This is our bond right now.”
They look for the brighter tomorrow
“I try to comfort them by telling them we have difficult days, but we also have better days,” says Hamida (right). “If today was difficult, you’re going to have a better day later on. I try my best to keep my children optimistic.”
Hamida and her husband, Abdelbasset, decided to leave their home in Syria when they felt they could no longer keep their family safe.
“The children knew there was a war. They actually witnessed the shellings. A shell dropped right next to our house, so they saw that. They saw a lot of people leaving from the city of Aleppo … They knew, this is a war and we have to leave because it is not safe anymore.”
The family has escaped the constant shelling and warplanes but, as refugees in Lebanon, their future is uncertain.
“I really hope my family lives a much better life than they are living right now,” Hamida says. “[I hope for them] to live in peace, to live comfortably. Not to live in this dire situation like they are doing right now.”
They prepare them for a better future
“I try my best to keep them learning, to keep teaching them something, so they are always learning something,” Ziad says.
Ziad lives with his family in a tent settlement in Lebanon since fleeing the war in Syria. Conditions in the camp are dire — hunger, poverty, poor sanitation and inadequate shelters are rampant — but Ziad has found purpose running an informal school to keep the settlement’s children, including his own, moving forward.
About 10 kids meet in his tent twice a week to learn basic subjects and values, and do activities that help them express their feelings.
“The importance is not just teaching subjects, but teaching hope. It’s going to give them an effort so they can do something in their future,” he says. “If you don’t give children hope, it’s the same as losing a whole generation, because this is all they have. The future is all they have.”
What we’re doing
Mercy Corps is on the ground helping families affected by the Syria crisis survive and recover for the long-term. In camps and communities throughout the region, we help them meet their immediate needs like food, water and shelter, and provide cash so they can buy the things they urgently need to get by.
We’re also focused on ensuring Syria’s children have the emotional support and opportunities they need to overcome this crisis. We build safe spaces to help them heal and continue their development, we connect them with activities that allow them to express themselves and cope with trauma, and we bring in educational programs so they don’t miss out on their futures.

Bird lovers and music fans, this is the crossover you didn’t know you needed. Stephanie Seymour, a local musician and avid birdwatcher, has brought two unlikely interests together to create something magnificent. Now, I know what you are thinking, “Who would want to listen to a song about birds?” Well, if you think about it, you’ve all heard The Beatles’ “Blackbird,” and, aside from the fact that this is an entire album dedicated to telling stories about the creatures and that is simply one song about a singular bird, this really isn’t that much different. It’s melodic, it’s poignant, it’s clever, and it’s storytelling at its finest. Seymour’s talent and adoration for both bird watching and songwriting allowed her to find a long awaited home within her music, her art, and her passion.
This album, There Are Birds, is phenomenal, and I love it a whole lot, but aside from your own love and appreciation for birds and birdwatching, which is I think very clear from the get go, what do you really want people to take away from this album of yours?
Thank you so much! And that is a great question. You know, I really made this record with just like two intentions. I mean, one was that all of these songs kind of all come to me. They really did. They came to me very quickly and in a period of a few months, so I wrote them very fast. I really didn’t think I was ever going to make another record again, so the fact that this happened to me was just so wonderful and it was a great experience to have these songs kind of come into my head and have the concept of all of this. At first I was just like, “I’m happy with putting this out just as it is.” I just wanted to put the record out. That will be my goal, you know? And it was my goal. But, any artist does, you want your music to be heard by the wider masses. I do want it to appeal to the birdwatching community, of course, but I would like it to reach beyond that, too, because I do feel like it brings a message of care for the environment, for birds, and for the natural world, you know? I don’t think that this is only reserved for, let’s say birdwatchers or activists or people like that. You know what I mean? My goal was also really to get the music to a wider audience than just maybe the birdwatching community.
Absolutely, and I think that because your music is so well written, people can interpret what they want out of your lyrics. If you really immerse yourself into the lyrics and their messages, it’s not just about birds.
Exactly. Yes, of course the songs are mostly about birds and there is definitely bird related lyrics, imagery, and everything else found within the album. The songs, though, are really and truly about me, as well as about many different topics. I have really bad anxiety a couple of songs on this record, like “Ruby-crowned Kinglet” and “Violet-crowned Hummingbird” are pretty much clearly about my anxiety, depression, and stuff like that. They’re not just simple songs about ‘this bird’ doing ‘this kind of thing’ and looking like ‘this.’ Many of the lyrics can be listened to, interpreted, and applied to different many different, relatable, life situations.
I thought that, as well, for sure. I am not birdwatcher, but I am a music listener, and I do pay attention to the lyrics. What I took away from your songs and this album as a whole was that it related to nature, including birds, but truly just the natural world around me. As well as just being aware of, you know, where you are in the world, what you’re doing, and how you approach living amongst others.
Exactly. That is definitely what I hoped for 100 percent.
I’m glad! You’ve talked previously about how you find birdwatching very comforting and relaxing. It brings you a sense of peace away from the stressors of day to day life. Was – or is – music a similar escape to you?
Another good question. Yes, I do feel that way. I feel like when you are immersed in birdwatching, everything else kind of falls away and you’re just focused on that. That is a wonderful feeling because it also releases your mind of any stressful thoughts and menial anxiety triggers. I do think that when you’re either listening to music or playing music, the same kind of thing happens. I mean, it’s the same thing as getting really involved and immersed in a good book. You don’t think about anything else but what you’re doing right then and there, and, hopefully, if the book is good, it is taking you away into another world. I feel like birdwatching does that. I think music does that. I think the arts in general do that and can have that effect on people.
I completely agree. I think that the way you approach music is really interesting, as well, and I love the concluding track on your album. It feels structured more like a poem, in my opinion, than a heavy composition of music. How did that song, specifically, come about? Was it written or created specifically to close the album?
This is almost the spark of this album, but it didn’t happen and it didn’t come together until just last year when all the other songs I had were done. I’d go to Central Park to birdwatch a lot, so I had all of these verses kind of just in my head. They were kind of a joke because it’s too funny when you’re in Central Park and you’re at the end of migration and everyone’s looking around at each other, you know, just saying, “Oh my God, we’re all here, but where are the birds?” So I just kind of had these humorous little lines going through my head and I had written them down quickly on scrap paper, but then they just sat there for about, I don’t know, maybe four years. Then, as the songs came to me again – “Ruby-crowned Kinglet” was the first song that I had – I said, Ok, I’m gonna do this, I’m going to make this album about birds.” I thought that the song “Migration Is Over” would be kind of like a humorous and upbeat way to end the album. I mean, if you read the title, you might think it’s a sad song, right? Like the world is ending, migrations over, you know, we’re killing the birds, but obviously it’s very humorous and upbeat, just about birdwatching in Central Park at the end of spring one day. So I had that idea to just put those scrap paper lyrics together and close the album on a lighter note.
I think it worked really well and it’s almost hopeful, like the birds will be coming back and you’ll be doing it all over again.
Totally. It’s a cycle, we’ll all be back here in three short months.
Exactly! Now, we know that birdwatching inspired your songs, and I know that you were saying that they all just kind of came to you, but what was that moment when you realized that you had a story to tell and a song to sing that was bigger than just the act of birdwatching?
I think it was when the lyrics to “Ruby-crowned Kinglet” did come to me. You know, I thought at first that this is going to be another funny song, because “Ruby-crowned Kinglet, why it looks so scared” is funny in itself and if you’ve ever seen a picture of Ruby-crowned Kinglet, it’s a tiny bird with a giant eye, and it looks scared all the time. So, I thought, “Oh, this will be kind of funny.” Then that song actually took a quick turn and evolved into a sort of a more introspective piece. It turned into a real – I don’t want to say real song, that’s not what I mean, of course, – but it turned into a song that had to do with birds and that had to do with taking a human risk aspect of it, but then it also picked up very personal aspects of ‘nothing everything is going to end so happy.’ It doesn’t end on an upbeat note and it’s it’s a little more heavy. Then I said to myself, “Wow, if I can do this one song, I think I can tell stories with a lot of different birds and bird related songs.” So I think that writing and recording “Ruby-crowned Kinglet” really was that musical spark.
I feel like with it being that personal to you, people can listen to it and hear that it’s not just “I went bird watching once and here are some songs I wrote about that.” It’s something that you know and love, so you’re able to interpret that through music.
Yeah! I mean, even a song like “House Sparrow” is about saving that bird that we named Emily. You know, that’s pretty straightforward. It’s like an event that happened to my husband and I, but it’s also a little bit of a song about hope, so even a lighter song like that, I feel like it still has a personal message.
Definitely. I think that’s very important. You’ve been involved with music, in some way, throughout a good portion of your life, so when it comes to the style of music that you enjoy creating, other than pulling from personal aspects, when it comes to more like the creation of the sound of your music, where do you find yourself looking for influence?
I do like a wide variety of music, and when it comes down to it, I am really just like a pop music head. And when I say pop music, I really mean in the vein of, you know, like Matthew Sweet and The Beatles, those huge harmonies in really poppy songs. That’s what I’m really ultimately drawn to. I feel like that’s the music I’ve always kind of made one way or another in one form or another. I don’t play an instrument, so I played drums. So what we had to do for this record, and also a long time ago from my two records under the name Birdy, was that I would basically sing my songs to my husband, who is an amazing guitar player, to create the instrumentals. I don’t know if you have heard of Winter Hours, but he was their guitar player. So he’s a big part of this, because he really, literally had to figure out every note, every chord, and whatever else for every single song of mine. I’m so thankful that I have him in, and not just because of his guitar talent, but because of the way that he drew the songs out in my head. He also produced this record. He engineered it. He worked on it and mixed it with me. So he is all over that record. God bless him. If it wasn’t for him, I don’t think there would be There Are Birds.
That is so lovely that you were able to work together on it, as well, you know? I mean, if you both have musical talents and an appreciation for music, that must be something that is really ingrained in your relationship. Was working with him something that came about naturally for you two?
I think it’s always been ingrained in ourselves and in each other, simply because that is how we met. When we were running the crop duster label, it was a co op. So every band that was on the label also owned it. That’s how we met. He was doing his own solo stuff and I was doing my own Birdy records. Right from the get go, he was in my band, I was in his band, and really all the crop duster folks kind of switched on and off into everyone else’s band and played in a lot of each others’ shows. It was really fun. I think, really right from the beginning, he and I were always connected by music. Now when we moved away from that for birdwatching, playing music stopped for a while, too. It’s not like we didn’t still enjoy music. He’s always played. He’s got a whole studio. That is actually where we recorded downstairs in our house. So he’s always playing his guitar and doing music, and I guess I just kind of stepped away more than he did. Then we came back to it, together, with this record.
I’m really glad you guys did, because as we’ve talked about it, it’s really well done. And knowing that you guys work together on it, as a husband and wife duo, makes it me appreciate it even more.
Aw. Yeah. I love that part of it. I really do. I think it’s a sweet thing.
I’m glad you got to do that. So kind of talking about your earlier music career, which was more based out of New York rather than the New Jersey suburbs – which are two totally different worlds, even though they’re what, 20 minutes away from each other –there really must have been a world of differences between being in a New York City band and creating there, as compared to now, with a heavier footprint in New Jersey. Right?
Yes. I absolutely agree. Plus, just being in that late nineties scene was its own thing. I mean there is still a great music scene in New York City now, but back then there was that whole kind of like Luna Chicks, Bikini Kill, Joan Osborne, and all these great bands, and not just female bands, but that was just who we were playing with and who were really around and prominent back then. There was a really vibrant club scene. Now when I moved to New Jersey, it was hard for me to sort of compare the two, because I did step away from music for birdwatching and didn’t create in the scene for a long time. Let’s say that I’m definitely more into the suburbs now and New York City is great, but you walk on the street and there are seven million things going on.
No, it is very different. But again, there’s culture and I think inspiration be found from both, which I think you clearly are able to run with.
Yes, totally. I mean, if it wasn’t for being out here in this wonderful area, I wouldn’t have this record I don’t think. I first lived in Englewood when we moved out of New York, then I moved up here to Ringwood and without that I would never have started birdwatching and there would be no There Are Birds record, no doubt.
Wow, so thank God for Englewood, right?
[Laughs] Oh, totally.
On the topic of nightlife and clubs and all, do you plan to do any live shows? Would you want to bring these songs to life on stage or are they going to stick to being in their little package of a studio album?
Well, I thought originally that they were going to stay in their little package of an album, and, you know, just be in the hands of as many people as I could get it out to. But I think that I’m being slowly convinced by people to possibly do either a record release show or just a few gigs here and there. I think it has to be the right show. It’s very premature, but my band and I have some ideas floating around for a possible triple release show. It doesn’t have to be a tour. It doesn’t have to be a giant thing. It can just be like one or two shows for these songs to live on through a stage performance.

Recommended workflow for Ableton audio export
Hello there. I'm having a great time playing with PercX today. But I'm wondering what the recommended workflow is for exporting multiple instrument tracks (as audio, not MIDI) into Ableton simultaneously. I saw from this post that you can add PercX as a plugin to an Ableton MIDI track and then use an audio track to grab entire mixed down output. Simple enough. But in one of the demo videos (which, of course, I can't find right now), I swear I saw someone record multiple individual instruments as audio into Ableton at once. Did I imagine this? I have a hunch that it has something to do with the 7 output channels... But my Ableton only has 1 stereo input option. Is there some other setup I need to do?
Thanks in advance!
Christoph Hart last edited by
nope, you didn't dream this Just select one of the 7 output pairs for each track, add another audio track in Ableton, and choose PERCX -> this pair as input (you might need to enable the input monitoring for this track):

As ORNL’s fuel properties technical lead for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Co-Optimization of Fuel and Engines, or Co-Optima, initiative, Jim Szybist has been on a quest for the past few years to identify the most significant indicators for predicting how a fuel will perform in engines designed for light-duty vehicles such as passenger cars and pickup trucks.
The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has formally launched the Cybersecurity Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CyManII), a $111 million public-private partnership.
Paul Kent, a computational nanoscience researcher in ORNL’s Computing and Computational Science Directorate, received the ORNL Director’s Award for Outstanding Individual Accomplishment in Science and Technology.
A collaboration between the ORNL and a Florida-based medical device manufacturer has led to the addition of 500 jobs in the Miami area to support the mass production of N95 respirator masks.
Growing up in Florida, Emma Betters was fascinated by rockets and for good reason. Any time she wanted to see a space shuttle launch from NASA’s nearby Kennedy Space Center, all she had to do was sit on her front porch.
Popular wisdom holds tall, fast-growing trees are best for biomass, but new research by two U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories reveals that is only part of the equation.
The Transformational Challenge Reactor, or TCR, a microreactor built using 3D printing and other new advanced technologies, could be operational by 2024.
ORNL and Department of Energy officials dedicated the launch of two clean energy research initiatives that focus on the recycling and recovery of advanced manufacturing materials and on connected and autonomous vehicle technologies.
The combination of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage could cost-effectively sequester hundreds of millions of metric tons per year of carbon dioxide in the United States, making it a competitive solution for carbon management, according to a new analysis by ORNL scientists.

BCHA secures £2m funding boost from Lloyds Bank
Charitable housing association BCHA has strengthened its ambition to tackle homelessness with the development of affordable and secure housing across the South West, following a £2m funding boost from Lloyds Bank.
For more than 50 years, BCHA has supported thousands of individuals with housing needs across the South and South West helping them to lead independent lives.
The seven-figure loan from Lloyds Bank will be used to help fund the development and acquisition of 42 properties across the South West, in addition to grant funding already secured from the government’s Next Steps Accommodation Programme. The project is set for completion by 31 March 2021.
Martin Lucas, director of finance at BCHA believes that empowering people is key to tackling homelessness across society.
He said: “The recent pandemic has brought a renewed focus towards rough sleeping in the region and it remains vital that we continue to help individuals to take control of their own lives and to foster a more joined up approach between different services if we’re going to tackle homelessness successfully.”
David Binding, relationship director at Lloyds Bank, added: “Working with the team at BCHA as it continues to offer support for vulnerable people in our region has been incredibly rewarding. As a long-term partner, we’re confident that the funding will go a long way to tackle homelessness and provide life-changing accommodation for many people. We will continue to be by the side of South West businesses to help them achieve their goals in the months ahead.”

Two Labette County residents died in a head-on collision Wednesday morning, south of Parsons.
The Kansas Highway Patrol said that vehicles driven by Timothy P. Schartz, 64, and Misty R. Chalker, 41, crashed shortly before 9 a.m. along U-59, about 4 miles north of the highway’s junction with U-160.
Schartz’s 2011 GMC Terrain SUV was northbound on the highway when it crossed the center line for “unknown reasons” and struck Chalker’s 2013 Ford Fusion, KHP said in a crash report; Chalker was southbound on U-59 at the time.
Schartz was a resident of Altamont, KHP said. Chalker lived in Parsons.
Parsons is located in the southeast corner of Kansas, about 130 miles east of Wichita.

Are you or your loved one considering memory care in Kennett Square, PA? The decision to move into a memory care center is an important one, and it’s crucial to find a place that not only provides excellent care but also creates a comfortable and nurturing environment. When choosing interior design in Kennett Square, PA memory care, there are six essential elements to consider that can greatly impact the overall quality of life for residents. Let’s explore these elements in detail.
Safety and Accessibility
Safety is paramount in memory care centers, as residents may have mobility challenges and memory-related conditions. Interior design should prioritize safety by incorporating features like non-slip flooring to reduce the risk of accidents. Additionally, easily accessible bathrooms with grab bars and well-lit common areas help ensure residents can move around safely. These safety measures provide peace of mind to both residents and their families, knowing their loved ones are in a secure environment.
Comfortable and Homely Atmosphere
A comfortable and homely atmosphere is essential to create a sense of well-being for memory care residents. Interior design should strive to make Kennett Square, PA memory care centers feel like home. This can be achieved through cozy furnishings that invite relaxation, warm color palettes that evoke a sense of warmth and comfort, and personalized touches that create a familiar environment. A homely atmosphere helps reduce stress and anxiety, contributing to a higher quality of life for residents.
Wayfinding and Orientation
Memory-related conditions often lead to confusion and disorientation among residents. Effective interior design addresses this by incorporating clear signage, color-coded pathways, and visual cues throughout the facility. These design elements assist residents in navigating the facility independently, promoting a sense of autonomy and minimizing confusion. It’s about providing a structured and reassuring environment.
Stimulating and Engaging Spaces
Cognitive stimulation and social interaction are essential for residents’ mental well-being. Memory care centers should include spaces designed to stimulate cognitive function and encourage social engagement. Activity rooms equipped with brain-teasing games, garden spaces where residents can connect with nature, and communal areas for group activities all contribute to residents’ overall cognitive health and help build meaningful connections with peers.
Personalized Living Spaces
Recognizing that every resident is unique, memory care centers should offer the option of personalized living spaces. Residents should have the freedom to bring their cherished belongings and personal items into their rooms. This personalization fosters a sense of identity and belonging, making residents feel more at ease and comfortable in their living environment.
Natural Light and Outdoor Access
Access to natural light and outdoor areas has a profound impact on residents’ well-being. Memory care centers should be designed with this in mind, featuring well-designed outdoor spaces and ample windows that allow natural light to flood in. Exposure to the outdoors can have positive effects on mood, sleep patterns, and overall quality of life, helping residents maintain a sense of vitality and connection to the world beyond the facility’s walls.
When choosing interior design in Kennett Square, PA memory care, these six elements should be carefully considered to create an environment that promotes safety, comfort, and overall well-being for residents. The right memory care facility prioritizes these aspects, ensuring that your loved one receives the best possible care and environment as they face the challenges of memory-related conditions. Making an informed decision based on these elements can significantly enhance your loved one’s quality of life and provide peace of mind for you and your family.

Welcome to the September Progress Report. It felt like we struck gold last month with all the high-quality releases, and while we may not have hit such lofty heights this month, these six albums are all still worth a listen. In fact, a couple of these just might pop up again come list season, and as always some readers may take to these albums more or less than I did. So read on, check the bands out, and enjoy.
Ratings are on a five star scale.
An Abstract Illusion – Woe (Willowtip)
Woe is Swedish trio An Abstract Illusion’s second album, following their 2016 debut. At their core, the band is a progressive death metal act, but on Woe they bring so much more to the table. Adding elements of death, black, prog, electronic, and classical to an ambitious 60-minute song is a bold exercise, and thankfully they pull it off.
Broken up into seven acts, Woe delivers massive helpings of brutality, riffs, atmosphere, and poignancy. Piano solos are interspersed with guitar solos, some voiceovers and female clean vocals offset the main harsh vocals, and the song arrangements are impeccable. It is easy to get fully immersed in this album and have an hour of your day disappear. That’s why it’s our pick of the month.
Crippled Black Phoenix – Banefyre (Season of Mist)
Progressive doom collective Crippled Black Phoenix are a band I want to love – their song “Champions of Disturbance” is one of my favorites of the past ten years – but I have yet to fully connect with their albums over the same period. Their mix of Pink Floyd-inspired psychedelic prog along with doom and post-rock can be mesmerizing, but their penchant for long songs is sometimes their undoing. That’s the case here on Banefyre, the band’s twelfth album.
Clocking in at a whopping ninety-seven minutes, Crippled Black Phoenix hold nothing back here. No fewer than four of the thirteen songs cross the ten-minute mark. However, the songs cannot hold our attention for nearly that length of time. A strong album half as long is buried somewhere in Banefyre, and those with infinite patience just might find it.
Gone Cosmic – Send For A Warning, The Future’s Calling (Grand Hand)
Calgary’s Gone Cosmic return with their second album Send for a Warning, the Future’s Calling and aim to build off the success of their well-received debut, 2019’s Sideways In Time. This time around the songs are shorter and more direct, but no less psychedelic than on their debut. The key draw remains Abbie Thurgood’s vocals – she’s very much a bluesy, powerful Ann Wilson – backed by punchy, at times hectic progressive bluesy rock.
There are several standout tracks here (“Envy Thrives,” with its “Four Sticks”-inspired rhythm, is excellent), but also an equal number of songs (notably the title track) that fail to meet the album’s aspirations. And Thurgood, an amazing talent, tends to get a bit too shouty on most songs. Not helping matters is the heavy-handed mastering, which combined with the all-out vocal performance makes Send For A Warning, The Future’s Calling a tiring listen.
Mythic Sunship – Light/Flux (Tee Pee)
Mythic Sunship have graced these pages in the past, rather favorably in 2018 and perhaps not quite so much last year, and here on their sixth album, Light/Flux, they aim to right the ship. This Copenhagen outfit brings psychedelia and saxophones to progressive rock, dropping six jams of varying length and spontaneity in our laps. While Wildfire might have been a bit too scattershot, the numbers here are slightly more thought out.
It seems the band is back on track, as each song brings something different to the party, from fuzzy riffs to demented sax solos and jazz jams. Light/Flux is 43 minutes of all-out psychedelic prog craziness, and if that excites you, well, strap in for a great ride because this is possibly the band’s best work yet.
Canadian one-man progressive death metal outfit Stormland is back with The Human Cost, Justin Pierrot’s sophomore release. As with his debut, 2018’s Songs Of Future Wars, Pierrot uses the Mobile Suit Gundam meta-series as inspiration for his albums. This time around he has some guest help on a couple tracks – Leda Paige (The Hallowed Catharsis) and Ross Sewage (Exhumed).
Practice makes perfect, and Pierrot’s skills have improved in all facets – songwriting, playing, vocals, and production – making The Human Cost an incremental step up from Stormland’s debut. There are plenty of good ideas, solid riffs, and interesting arrangements peppered throughout, we just need to see more consistency. Still, Stormland is definitely heading in the right direction. This is a prog-death project to keep our eyes on going forward.
Virtual Symmetry – Virtual Symmetry (Sensory)
Swiss-Italian collective Virtual Symmetry return with their fourth release, a true progressive metal album in the vein of Dream Theater, Symphony X, and more. Across eight songs (the first of which is a 20-minute epic, a bold move that the band pulls off with aplomb) the band showcase their technical and songwriting prowess, whether in heavy chugging numbers such as “My Story Unfolds” or the AOR-tinged “Fantasie Di Verità.”
Virtual Symmetry is slickly produced, well written, and features top-notch performances. The band is clearly aiming for the same rarified air as the bands mentioned, and they come pretty close across the entire album. Fans of slick progressive metal with a touch of power metal, neo-classical shredding (both on guitar and keyboard), and extravagant arrangements will love this.

They can also be made in advance and taken to school and eaten cold the next day. Your whole family is sure to enjoy these and they will become a staple in your meal plan.
- Olive oil, or any other cooking oil
- 4 large tortilla shells
- Pesto Sauce (can be easily purchased at any grocery store)
- Bell peppers and onions
- 2 cups cheddar, or any other cheese you prefer, grated
- 4 Stawnichy’s Spicy Bean Burgers
- Sour cream and salsa as preferred
- Slice peppers and onions and place into a skillet with a small amount of cooking oil on medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring to ensure they do not burn. You don’t want to overcook and have them turn mushy.
- While pepper/onion mixture is cooking, in a separate skillet, on medium heat, put a small amount of oil and begin cooking Spicy Bean Burgers. After cooking for 3-4 minutes, flip burgers and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
- Once bean burgers are nearing completion, break them apart with the spatula into small crumbled pieces and finish cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
- Once both the vegetable mixture and the burgers are done cooking, remove from heat and let stand for 2-3 minutes.
- On the countertop, lay out your tortillas, spread a small amount of pesto sauce and sprinkle a handful of cheese on half of each tortilla.
- Add some peppers/onions to each tortilla, and ¼ of the bean burger crumble. Once this is all on the tortilla, add another small handful of cheese sprinkled over the mixture.
- Fold tortillas in half and transfer to clean skillet (or you can use a grill/Panini press) and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning once while cooking.
- Take out of skillet or remove from grill, and let stand for 2-3 minutes. Cut into 3-4 pieces, and serve with salsa and/or sour cream as you like.

Justin explained to me different chemistry topics that I was struggling with. These include Lewis dot structures, dimensional analysis and balancing equations. I recommend him to all!
I don't have much of a background in chemistry and have been struggling with it this semester. In just one session she taught me about grams, molarity, Lewis dot structures, molecular shapes, naming compounds and balancing equations. She taught it to me in a way that made it much easier and calmed my test anxiety. I definitely recommend her.
My son said the lesson gave him a very good review on his chemistry honor class. The concepts reviewed include the following: electronegativity, covalent bonds, polar covalent bonds, coordinate covalent bonds, bond polarity, molecular polarity, Lewis-Dot structures when there is an excess or dearth of electrons, Geometry, hydrogen bonding, ionic radii, and partial positive and negative charges. He thought it was very helpful.

The Democratic 2008 race for president started in December 31, 2006 with a neo-populist mega millionaire son-of-a-millworker lawyer digging up a black lady's Katrina damaged yard in his attempt to put poverty forefront in the political soup line. A stunning 2004 speech shifted the presidential race and flashbulbs to a buzzworthy bi-racial lawyer in his first term as Senator from the Land of Lincoln who made a few million from two books written while capturing third place in the polls in the Ethanol State upon announcing. Last to enter and first to jet to the top of the poll charts was a world famous white lady with mega millions - hers and everyone else's, an iron grip on the lead and a man that had the affection of hardworking and elite Democrats.
Media pundits, pollsters and professionals adopted the press releases and trite observances of the staff of Hillary Rodham Clinton as their beacons of light to foist upon American voters as the only possible adult reality-based outcome of the Democratic presidential nomination. Her majesty did not need to develop a ground game - she was soaring on the wind beneath her wax wings of Bill Clinton and the tried and true Clinton style of pricey television ad wars. In a nod to the times, she decided to embrace YouTube for a Sopranos video and her announcement of a listening to the people gig. Hillary had her attack pigeons perched in the swivel chairs at all the networks, she rocket launched Bill Clinton to become the talking wall paper of her campaign and learned the art of the Miss America wave, elbow, elbow, wrist-wrist-wrist in the shape of a figure eight and the point - point - clap, clap for large groups.
Opinion columns written from the templates of the past with blindness towards the future echoed the selfishly unaware mantra of her woefully wrong chief strategist Penn, SHE WAS INEVITABLE and even the tiniest of numbers proved it, look at the national polls or in the signs of the remains of your Cheerios. A lock with no key. Celestial skies opened and hosannas rained down from pundits and politicians racing to get on the lesser beings gravy train and snag a window seat to watch her perform aerial maneuvers in the presidential Heavens.
Black folks were saying not gonna happen for him, but isn't he cute trying so hard - but we have all seen the science fiction movies where the lone black person perennially faces obliteration by some sort of alien monster. The Clinton campaign spurred the White media elites and they watched with the glee of reporting on their first fatal car wreck as black folks debated amongst themselves the degree to which Barack Obama was actually b-l-a-c-k as opposed to a Morrison-anointed Black president Bill Clinton along with fearing and decrying the level of security needed to protect this American Rorschach test dummy. And then the Benjamin Franklin lightening strike happened. Barack became hickory HRC smoked and charred enough round the edges to be really Black and Hillary turned as white as a sheet.
From the ground to curbs in hog hamlets and Des Moines day spas, the candidate with grit and grime in his slightly larger than normal ears from wallowing on the ground while petting a pig at the Iowa State Fair to eating same day pork chops, smiled and dialed undecided people, asked for votes from farmers and fledgling students finally won a smashing, game changing, history making victory based on two words, Hope & Change in a state that was as white as an ungilded lily. Say What - Inevitability cried and tantrums were had on camera by a former president that lost his electoral mojo binky. A first class volunteer army and ground game built by Americans of every hue and wallet size was just kicking the pant suited ass of the superior B-52 strategic bomber candidate/pilot.
An out of touch Media caught woefully short on the telly and with its fact pants down around their wide stance ankles had to learn the ABC's of proportional delegate distribution and who these anachronistic Super Delegates were, now in a front loaded primary season - and who was the idiot that put this in place? Look no further than Hillary Clinton's supposedly superior finance wizard who had been chairman of the DNC. Super Delegates took provisions and ran for the undisclosed Bunker Hills to escape the carpet bombing and strafing-by-surrogate when the Inevitability Express Shuttle came around every 15 minutes demanding Super Delegates get on board or be left behind in every sense of the Revelations word.
In February, Obama ground troops moved across the United States feeding and strengthening his supply lines with food, fuel, phones and small amounts of folding money. The candidate of Inevitability treated much of America as an insignificant no-fly zone filled with hairy Idaho activists, frothing Mississippi latte sippers, stupid Hawaii 5-0 and unseemly Washington logrolling caucuses, isolated St. Louis eggheads with an extra Volvo, Wisconsin Facebookies and the average Georgian Birkenstock shopper. The math locked in on the ground. Nobody saw it except the truly political astute and Obama supporters. Furiously dog-paddling MIA Super Delegates belly flopped and jumped sans parachutes from the bomber bay splashing into Florida's Keys, deciding it was a better hiding place to secure freedom freedom from the Two Sirens' May Day, May Day radio calls for money.
Super Delegates wanted the WAR of the primary Worlds to be definitive in a quantum mechanics grand unified theory way. Make the remaining states walk the gauntlet under the booming guns of the mad bomber in the sky trying to reach the cool-as-a-cucumber arugula gardener on the ground was the plan while they bit their manicures and occupied the space time continuum bubble warp in federally protected DC. No candidate was going to be in DC anyway. POW Clinton Delegates made a break for enemy lines under sniper fire and announced the Underground Railroad still worked. More are chirping that they are undeclared, not uncommitted, and shall wait to see that the plane with a president and co-pilot husband is actually enshrined in the Clinton Presidential Library like Reagan's before they rush into the sunlight to announce that they were for the Inevitable candidate all along.
Here is where to learn about Barack Obama's life with books and his youthful quest started with books.
The 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Obama and the First Lady, Michelle Obama!

The govt has rolled out various initiatives and tax exemptions for individuals and businesses to cope with the impact of Covid-19
by LYDIA NATHAN / pic by RAZAK GHAZALI
TAX season is looming and due to the current pandemic, the government has rolled out various initiatives and tax exemptions for individuals and businesses.
On top of the exemptions allotted under Budget 2021, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in a special address last week also announced more tax relief under the special Malaysian Economic and Rakyat’s Protection Assistance Package (Permai).
Here is an updated list of some tax reliefs:
• Up to RM2,500 tax relief on the purchase of mobile phones, computers and tablets, which expired on Dec 31, 2020, will be extended for another year until the end of 2021.
• Extension of the provision of one free gigabyte of data for the public to browse websites, including for educational purposes, to the end of April 2021.
• Employers who bear the cost of Covid-19 screening will get double tax deduction for the payment of employee screening costs made during the year.
This has been one of the most prominent measures in Budget 2021, the reduction of income tax rate for those earning a salary bracket of RM50,000 to RM70,000 per year.
The middle 40% income group will have a reduction of 1% in income tax to assist with any financial difficulties.
Bantuan Prihatin Rakyat (BPR)
BPR is one of the most targeted forms of assistance the government has done so far, with an allocation of RM6.5 billion. Here is what is being offered:
• Bachelors with an income of less than RM2,500 are eligible to receive RM350.
• If a spouse’s income is less than RM2,500 with one child, they are eligible to receive RM1,200. If there are more than two children, they are eligible to receive RM1,800.
• Spouses earning between RM2,501 and RM4,000 with one child are eligible to receive RM800, while more than two children will receive RM1,200.
• Spouses earning between RM4,000 and RM5,000 with one child will receive RM500 and RM750 for more than two children.
• Tax relief for medical expenses, parental care and special needs have increased from RM5,000 to RM8,000.
• RM8,000 tax exemption for immediate family members with a serious disease and needing medical treatment.
• RM8,000 for parent’s medical check-ups, special needs and treatment.
• RM1,000 tax exemption for full medical check-up.
• Those with disabled spouses will have tax relief of up to RM5,000.
With the increase of people working from home, attending online classes and hosting webinars, the government recognised the need for all groups, especially the bottom 40% income group (B40) to have secure Internet access.
In the first quarter of 2021, the B40 group will receive RM180 in the form of credit, while telecommunication companies will provide RM1.5 billion worth of free data.
To encourage more first-time home buyers, the government will enforce stamp duty exemptions for two options:
• Full stamp duty exemption on instruments of transfer and loan agreement until December 2025, with an increased limit of up to RM500,000.
• Stamp duty exemption on loan agreements and instruments of transfer given to rescuing contractors and the original house buyers for another five years. This will only be applicable for housing projects that are abandoned but approved by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government.
Meanwhile, the government also announced that the “Rent-To-Own” scheme will continue until 2022 involving 5,000 PR1MA houses.
• The government has allocated RM300 million for the implementation of the My30 monthly travel pass to Penang and Kuantan, which will include bus and rail services.
• School students from Standard One till Form Six are offered an unlimited travel pass at RM5.
RM50 will be given as a one-off assistance for those aged between 18 and 20, benefitting 1.5 million youths.
Tax relief of RM500 to purchase sports equipment and registration fees for sports fees.

The Jesus Rolls (John Turturro, 2019) 1 out of 4 stars.
There is a place in this world for art that celebrates anarchy, as the order of things deserves at all times to be challenged, lest we fall under the spell of complacency and its cousin, fascism. But that fact in no ways justifies the aging-male sex fantasy that is The Jesus Rolls, a movie that is simultaneously a sort-of sequel (for one incidental character, anyway) of Joel and Ethan Coen’s 1998 The Big Lebowski and a remake of French director Betrand Blier’s 1974 Les valseuses (“Going Places” in its American release). Though familiar with the former (if not a huge fan), I have never seen the latter, but after reading its plot summary, I can attest that writer/director/star John Turturro (Gloria Bell) has, indeed, copied most of that earlier film’s structure. What may have worked (or not) 45 years ago, however, today comes across as a tired, strenuous exercise in manic shtick that goes nowhere fast and then keeps rolling along.
Turturro plays the titular Jesus, last name Quintana. When last we saw him, in Lebowski, he was, in his brief appearance, a cocksure Cuban-born bowler with a tendency to lick his balls – bowling balls, that is – and a sex-offender charge on his record. Turturro played him as a preening lizard of a man, but the Coens got one (to me) especially good visual joke in at his expense when this arrogant creature was forced to go door to door announcing his crime, the priceless close-up on his face as he marched up a doorstep good for a laugh. Now he’s back, fresh out of prison (again) and ready for more trouble.
But is he worth it? Turturro certainly thinks so. Despite my admiration for much of his career, I cannot agree. Filled with awkward dialogue, forced hilarity and unpleasant mayhem, The Jesus Rolls (out now for home-viewing purchase on disc and otherwise) is the ultimate passion project, plagued by the same errors of judgment that infect all such enterprises: the raison d’être of the entire affair is so obvious to the creator that they never bother to make sure it works for anyone not them.
There is plenty of talent wasted here, from Turturro, himself, to Bobby Cannavale (Amazon’s Homecoming) as his best friend Petey, to Audrey Tautou (Thérèse) as the conveniently game sex object Marie, to Susan Sarandon (Viper Club), Jon Hamm (The Report) and more. From one desperate misfire of a gag to another, with occasional detours into sometimes tragic seriousness, everyone flails around trying to make it work. It doesn’t.
The narrative, such as it is, follows Jesus’ release from prison, reunion with Petey and immediate plunge back into a life of petty crime. Lest we feel bad for spending time on a pedophile, Turturro dispenses with that notion right away in an opening bit of exposition courtesy of Christopher Walken (The Family Fang). It’s all a misunderstanding; he may be amoral, but he’d never do that. From there, we launch into an adventure of sorts where Petey and Jesus take Marie in a series of stolen cars and try to help her achieve an orgasm, something she has never had. If that sounds fun to you, along with a retrograde view of the role of women in film, then The Jesus Rolls might just work for you. If not, then I suggest you let it roll right past.

As developer interest fingers out from traditional high-rise hot zones such as Midtown, things are once again looking up for the Westside.
A project that could bring more than 20 stories of vertical construction to the northern fringes of Bankhead is in the works, marking the latest investment along a BeltLine trail segment opened last year that links downtown Atlanta to the loop’s western rim.
According to plans presented to the BeltLine Development Review Committee by Flippo Civil Design and Grind Capital Group, the 222,640-square-foot building would include 310 apartments with access to the Westside BeltLine Connector trail.
Below the rentals, plans call for 7,570 square feet of retail space at the ground floor and 218 parking spaces in a garage.
As is, the 1060 Jefferson Street property is home to a two-story brick structure and a barren lot, positioned among a row of industrial buildings and surface parking. It’s zoned MRC-3, which allows for relatively dense mixed-use development.
It wouldn’t be the only substantial, recent investment in the area.
The site is directly across the trail from Brock Built Properties’ Ten29 West townhome project in Bankhead, where listing prices currently start at $709,900. Just north of the property is QTS’s massive Westside data center, which is undergoing an expansion with plans to eventually add townhomes.
Meanwhile, just east of the Jefferson Street property, also with direct trail access, is the multi-building Echo Street West project, where the initial office component recently topped out, alongside 292 new apartments. Entertainment concept Westside Motor Lounge also opened for business this month as part of that project’s $265-million first phase.
Records indicate the 1.1-acre Bankhead property was purchased in October last year for $1.83 million by an LLC called Jefferson BeltLine.
Among their recommendations in July, BeltLine DRC members asked the development team to revise a “blank bank” around the parking area and to incorporate better screening and different colors.
A representative from Flippo Civil Design told the board they're pursuing a construction loan via Invest Atlanta and intend to set aside 20 percent of the apartments, or roughly 60 units, as affordable housing at 60 percent of the area’s median income, according to a meeting recap.
We’ve reached out to project officials for word on a potential groundbreaking and other details. This story will be updated should further information come.

Home modification--changing the home environment to increase safety and support--can promote independence and community participation. Funding for and delivering these services often entail partnerships across the aging, disability, and housing sectors. This July 6. 2022, Housing and Services Resource Center (HSRC) office hour explored the many opportunities to use cross-sector collaboration to expand access to home modification. Staff from the University of Southern California Leonard Davis School of Gerontology were "in the office" to answer questions and offer other solutions. The office hour is a companion to the June 9, 2022, HSRC webinar, Addressing Housing Accessibility through Cross-Sector Partnerships: A Closer Look at Home Modification Collaborations at Work.


#AceNewsReport – June.18: Disgraced former UEFA President Michel Platini has been taken into custody as part of a corruption investigation over the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, the French financial prosecutor’s spokesperson told CNN on Tuesday: The ex-boss of Europe’s soccer governing body had been serving a four-year ban from the sport since 2015, over a $2 million payment he received from FIFA: He has been brought in for questioning but has not been arrested or charged with a crime, the spokesperson said.
The former French soccer legend led UEFA from 2007 to 2015, and was the heir apparent to take over from FIFA head Sepp Blatter, until both men were swept out of the sport in the wake of the massive corruption scandal from which it is still reeling: Platini’s interrogation by investigators again raises questions over the controversial decision to host the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, a small but wealthy Middle Eastern nation which lacks the infrastructure or sporting tradition of previous host countries. Qatari organisers have repeatedly denied allegations of wrongdoing in the bidding process: Whispers of foul play over the decision have been heard ever since the country was appointed hosts in 2010, and such allegations have been made more openly after the US Justice Department brought racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering charges against several senior figures within FIFA in 2015.
The ensuing scandal led to investigations being opened in several countries: “FIFA is aware of today’s press reports concerning Mr. Michel Platini,” a spokesperson for the body said. “We don’t have all the details about the matter (and) we are not in a position to comment further.”……………………”Generally speaking, FIFA reiterates its full commitment to cooperating with the authorities in any given country of the world where investigations are taking place in connection with football activities,” the spokesperson added.
Concerns over temperatures in Qatar have since forced FIFA to move the tournament to the winter for the first time ever, while watchdogs have criticised the Qatari government’s human rights record, the country’s ban on homosexuality and the welfare of workers involved in preparing stadiums for the tournament: But calls to move the competition to a different country have so far been rebuffed. The tournament — the first World Cup to be held in the Middle East — is set to take place between 21 November and 18 December 2022, in eight locations in Qatar.
Former UEFA president Michel Platini denied wrongdoing during police questioning Tuesday following his arrest as part of a corruption probe into the vote that gave the 2022 World Cup to Qatar: Platini, a former France national team great who became one of soccer’s most powerful administrators before being banned from the game, was placed in custody when summoned to the Judicial Police’s anti-corruption and financial crimes office outside Paris, a judicial official told The Associated Press, confirming a report by online news publication Mediapart: The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorised to discuss an ongoing investigation.
The 63-year-old Platini can either be released or formally charged after questioning ends: Platini’s communications team said he was also quizzed on the awarding of the 2016 European Championship to France, adding that he was “absolutely confident in the future” and has “strictly nothing to reproach himself for.”“Michel Platini expresses himself serenely and precisely, answering all the questions, including those on the conditions for the awarding of the 2016 Euro, and has provided useful explanations,” the statement said.
Platini’s communications team said the former France national team captain was placed in custody only for “technical reasons.” His lawyer, William Bourdon, explained that by holding him in custody, police investigators aimed to ensure that Platini and other witnesses couldn’t confer with each other about their testimonies: Platini helped France reach the World Cup semifinals in both 1982 and 1986, and he led his national team to the 1984 European Championship title……………He also played club soccer for Nancy and Saint-Etienne before a high-profile transfer to Italian club Juventus…………..He won three straight Ballon d’Or titles as the best player in Europe while playing for Juventus from 1983-85.
Also detained Tuesday was Sophie Dion, a former sports adviser of Nicolas Sarkozy when he was French president, the judicial official said. Claude Gueant, the former secretary general of the Elysee under Sarkozy, was heard as a witness and not detained: French financial prosecutors have been investigating the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups and previously questioned former FIFA president Sepp Blatter……………………..France’s financial prosecutor services opened the investigation on grounds of private corruption, criminal association, influence peddling and benefiting from influence peddling relating to the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, which were awarded to Russia and Qatar, respectively.
FIFA said it is aware of Platini’s situation but declined to comment further on his case: Because of his position as president of UEFA, Platini was also a FIFA vice president.Much intrigue has centered on Platini’s decision to vote for Qatar: Blatter, who was FIFA president at the time of the vote in 2010, blamed Platini for backing out of a secret “gentleman’s agreement” to award the 2022 tournament to the United States……………..Platini told the AP in 2015 that he “might have told” American officials that he would vote for the United States bid…………….However, he changed his mind after a November 2010 meeting, hosted by then-president Sarkozy at his official residence in Paris and Qatar’s crown prince, now emir, Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.
Platini has long insisted that the meeting did not influence his vote for Qatar less than two weeks later.“Sarkozy never asked me to vote for Qatar, but I knew what would be good,” he told the AP in 2015: But Blatter claimed in a 2015 interview with the Financial Times that Platini told him ahead of the World Cup vote: “I am no longer in your picture because I have been told by the head of state that we should consider the situation of France.”……………..Both Platini and Blatter were toppled from their positions of power at the top of soccer in 2015.

Perfect port Way too hard An option to increase health or a way to make the game easier would be appreciated. This game is way too hard with touch controls. Otherwise this game is awesome. Please port Samsho 4 and 5 Special too!
Ive beaten Mizuki level 8 but not Kokuro the Referee Ive beaten level 8 Mizuki many many times, but please show more Kuroko the Referee please, i want to learn his pattern..the rest are awesome
On-Screen Controls Could Look Much Better On screen controls are ugly, they look cheap. Mark of the Wolves has the best approach.
Bluetooth and HID gamepad support problems I love the game but found two issues that is a real big deal to me. Bluetooth multiplayer doesn't work and gamepad support is really buggy
Clinton beat down It's always been one of my favorite fighting games now I can play whenever I want!
Awesome!! Easy to play with touch screen. I expected horrible controls as this game has some difficult moves.
Several bugs have been fixed.
