ALBANY, N.Y. – Governor Kathy Hochul has signed legislation that will increase the accessibility of home heating aid and help identify more seniors who are eligible for the Home Energy Assistance Program. HEAP is a federal program available to New Yorkers that helps low-income homeowners and renters afford costs associated with heating and cooling. Through this legislation, applicants and participants of the Elderly Pharmaceutical Coverage Program will be provided information and instructions for enrollment in HEAP. Applications for the Regular HEAP benefit opened November 1. Details on eligibility and links to apply can be found https://mybenefits.ny.gov/mybenefits/begin. Seniors who require assistance filling out their HEAP applications can contact their local office for the aging or the NY Connects helpline at 1-800-342-9871. The Madison County Office of the Aging: 138 Dominic Bruno Blvd, Canastota, 315-697-5700. Other resources: Herkimer County DSS 301 N. Washington St., Ste. 2110, Herkimer, 315-867-1291. Madison County DSS N. Court St. Bldg. 1, Wampsville, 315-366-2211. Oneida County DSS: 800 Park Ave., Utica, 315-798-5700. “Programs like HEAP help put money back in the pockets of hard-working New Yorkers, helping heat their homes in the dead of winter,” Hochul said. “From raising the minimum wage to our proposed inflation refund checks, we’re doing everything we can to tackle the affordability crisis head-on.” The legislation relates to the provision of HEAP information to EPIC program participants. The New York State Department of Health oversees EPIC and its applications. The department will provide HEAP information and enrollment information with each EPIC application and also through an annual notice to EPIC participants. Hochul has worked to expand coverage and funding for New Yorkers to receive heating assistance this winter. On Nov. 12, she announced that additional funding was available for seniors and low- and middle-income households to help lower their heat and energy bills. HEAP can provide up to $996 to eligible households and has put over $397 million back in the pockets of New Yorkers. “Governor Hochul understands that having a safe and comfortable home, protected from the elements, is a social determinant of health that is foundational to improved health outcomes,” New York State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald said. “New York sees some of the coldest temperatures during the winter and this important legislation will ensure New York’s most vulnerable senior citizens are safeguarded from the cold without facing the added costs of heating their homes.”As a young democracy grows out of adolescence, its rolling out reels and reels of tales. If the first post office or a telephone connection paints one colour, the Stamp of a stock market scam or the ‘Jewel Thieves’ scandal paint yet another colour.

Medical emergencies don’t take holidays – and it’s important to prepare for anything heading into the holiday season. This time of year, while many services close or reduce their hours, it’s important to know where you can get help in the event that you do have medical needs to be met. If you have a medical emergency do not delay in seeking care, however, according to London Health Sciences Centre, local emergency departments are busiest at Christmas time. It’s always a good idea to check wait times before you go if you’re seeking help for a minor injury or ailment. Keep your options open, it’s possible that virtual care might be better for you. Non-life threatening needs could be seen to with an appointment online . You can also get help from a pharmacist for common minor ailments – for example, UTIs, pink eye, or cold sores.

Marvel Rivals hero ban system is an outright improvement on Overwatch 2, with the competitive experience at a high level being vastly superior to Blizzard’s hero shooter. However, two major flaws hold the system back. With Marvel Rivals having 33 heroes available at launch, it has the freedom to implement bans without ruining the balance of the game. Even if your favorite hero gets taken off the table, there are other options. Overwatch 2 should really take some notes here, hero bans can entirely eliminate oppressive metas like the kind Widowmaker encourages. However, they should also take note of the things Marvel Rivals has done wrong . Hero bans are a great feature in Marvel Rivals, but also a flawed system that needs a few small adjustments to really shine. Hero bans are great in Marvel Rivals, but they could be better The ability to ban heroes that are an absolute nightmare to play against like Hela and Hawkeye is incredible for maintaining your sanity on the ranked grind. Four bans feels like just the right amount for this game’s current roster, with every player still having options even if all four bans are targeted at one role. High-ranked players have praised the system, with it being almost universally well-received amongst Rivals’ best. But that’s also the first flaw: Bans only start at Diamond ranks. If you played comp in Marvel Rivals and were left wondering why you couldn’t ban heroes like your favorite streamer, this is why. And, quite frankly, it feels like a strange decision to rank gate hero bans. Quick Play exists for a reason. Bans should absolutely be implemented in competitive at all ranks. Or, at the very least, the restriction should be lowered to Gold. By that rank, the vast majority of players will have other heroes they know how to play if their favorite gets banned. Related: Having to work toward bans takes a lot of grinding, and players who hit that rank go in unprepared for the fact that their favorite hero or team-up combination may get taken off the board. This is, fortunately, an easy fix, and could be remedied by a simple patch and little effort from the devs. The second flaw is that the ban phase provides no anonymity. This makes it so that streamers or one-tricks can be targeted in the ban phase where they’d normally be fine otherwise. This may be a bit more of a contentious point than the first one, but it’ll only get worse as the game gets more balanced. For now, there’s a pretty clear set of handshake bans unless you’ve got someone in your game who’s really, really good at one hero. As time goes on and top level players get more familiar with each other, it’ll become clear who to target in every match. For players who excel at piloting one particular hero in a way no one else can, their playstyle gets essentially erased. hero bans are ruining marvel rivals for me 🙁 i just want to play psylocke but people target ban her every game, and now when i get her i suck because i cant practice her at all Some people may argue that being able to ban someone out is a good thing, but seeing high level players like Eskay forced off a hero they love makes the experience much worse for them . She pretty much never gets to play Psylocke. Same goes for a one-trick like TeamCaptain who’s doing insane things with Wolverine but never gets to pick the hero. And, while this may sound like it runs counter to the first point, there’s a big difference between only knowing how to play one hero because you’re new and preferring to one-trick a low-tier because you’re the best in the world at them. Most high-level players are civil and willing to play other things if they have to. Target banning is great for pro play, tournament play, scrims, environments like that, but it just doesn’t belong in solo queue. Bans should be about taking strategies off the table that counter what you want to do as a team, not to target one person in particular and make them have a much worse time than everyone else in the lobby. Fortunately, this is also easily fixed by making lobby names anonymous. While Marvel Rivals hero bans do have some issues, it’s more a matter of refining the system than overhauling it. Speaking personally, my matches took a huge step up in quality when the ban phase became an icebreaker with my teammates in Rivals, and Competitive immediately started to feel like the way this game is meant to be played. Overwatch 2 should be taking notes, because a system like this would make the experience so much better if they can learn from NetEase and create an even better version for themselves. I enjoy both games, but not having hero bans in Overwatch is a clear step back when comparing Blizzard’s hero shooter to Marvel Rivals.Four Canadian women honoured in World Rugby's Dream Teams of the YearConor McGregor dropped from Hitman 3: Video game developer cuts ties amidst sexual assault scandal
Good news for retirees from Social Security – Official announcement of this important upgradeKyle Sandilands reveals the very surprising question Beau Ryan asked him before accepting Triple M hosting gig READ MORE: Revealed: TV star named as the host of one of Australia's biggest breakfast radio shows By KATE DENNETT and STEPHEN GIBBS FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA Published: 22:13, 27 November 2024 | Updated: 22:45, 27 November 2024 e-mail View comments Kyle Sandilands has revealed Beau Ryan asked him a very surprising question before accepting his new hosting job with Triple M. Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed on Wednesday that NRL star turned TV presenter Beau, 39, will be the new host of Triple M's breakfast program in Sydney next year. The station officially confirmed the news on Thursday morning, with Beau replacing sacked star Mark Geyer on the show along with Natarsha Belling and Aaron Woods. Just moments before the announcement, Kyle, 53, revealed on KIIS FM that he was given a heads up about the news because Beau had actually asked his permission. Speaking on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, the radio host shared that Beau - who he is close friends with - asked if he'd mind him signing up with rival network Triple M. 'Beau came to me a couple of weeks ago and he asked me permission, can he take the job at Triple M because he didn't want to fall foul of us,' Kyle shared. Kyle Sandilands has revealed Beau Ryan asked him a very surprising question before accepting his new hosting job with Triple M His co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson then said Beau hadn't asked for her blessing, to which Kyle responded with: 'I gave permission on behalf of both of us.' Kyle said Beau was concerned about stepping on their toes on the airwaves, particularly given he has previously filled in for Kyle on KIIS FM and featured as a guest while hosting Top Gear. 'He was on the back foot and I thought ''what's he done'', I thought he'd got himself in a bit of a pickle, I thought he was in trouble,' Kyle explained of his conversation with Beau. 'But he asked [for permission] and said ''I don't wanna, you know, I come in and talk about Top Gear ,'' and I said ''we really don't care if you go over there''.' Though known for his TV hosting roles, Beau has little experience on radio and will be making his breakfast radio hosting debut on his brand new Triple M breakfast show. The program - titled Triple M Breakfast with Beau, Tarsh & Woodsy - will see Beau joined on the airwaves by veteran news presenter Natarsha and former Wests Tigers captain Aaron. Beau is familiar to TV viewers from his stint on Nine's now defunct Footy Show and recent hosting gigs on Ten's Amazing Race, Gladiators Australia and Top Gear . Meanwhile, Natarsha, 54, is no stranger to the Triple M audience, having previously delivered the morning news on Mick & MG in the Morning's breakfast show. Kyle, 53, revealed on KIIS FM that he was given a heads up about the news because Beau (pictured) had actually asked his permission, not wanting to step on his friend's toes She is also a familiar face on TV screens, having worked for Network 10 as a presenter and news reporter, working for the channel before being sacked in a brutal round of budget cuts in August 2020. Since retiring from the NRL in September, Aaron, 33, has also branched out into becoming a pundit and presenter, most recently appearing on Triple M Sydney's The Rush Hour. He is following in the footsteps of many of his sporting stars - including his former Wests Tigers teammate Beau - as he looks set to carve out a new career for himself as an Aussie media personality. The new Triple M trio will also be joined on the breakfast show by the existing anchor Cat Lynch, while Laura Bouche has newly been appointed as the program's content director. Beau said of his new role: 'I'm so keen to start on Triple M Breakfast in 2025 with the fabulous Tarsh Belling and my good mate Aaron Woods. 'I grew up with Triple M; it was always on for every car trip and then, during my playing days, it got me through the long commute to training at the Wests Tigers and Cronulla Sharks, so now to be a part of the new Breakfast team is a wonderful full circle moment. 'I can't wait to greet Sydneysiders with the new team in the new year. It's a close-knit network with passionate listeners. Let's f***en go!' Aaron gushed of reuniting with his NRL teammate Beau on-air: 'To work with my ex-teammate Beau Ryan will be awesome. Beau will be joining the new Triple M breakfast show along with veteran presenter Natarsha Belling and his former West Tigers teammate Aaron Woods (all pictured) 'We know he's a lunatic and God only knows what he will be coming up with on-air. And then there's Natarsha Belling, what a legend!' And Natarsha added: 'I can't wait to wake up with Sydney and share all the day's news, sport and crazy stories. Strap yourselves in Sydney - we are live and local and anything can happen!' The huge line-up change on radio's most important timeslot comes during a turbulent period at Triple M's Sydney studios, which has included the sudden departure of Mark Geyer. Mark was told on November 20 he would not be returning next year to Mick & MG in the Morning, which ran from 6am to 9am, and he finished up immediately. The 56-year-old, who had been with Triple M since 2009, hosted the show alongside Melbourne comedian Mick Molloy, with Cat Lynch and Natarsha Belling as their offsiders. Triple M had already announced Mark would be returning to Melbourne to host the local breakfast show with Nick Riewoldt, Titus O'Reily and Rosie Walton, after two years in Sydney. Radio insiders then confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that Beau would be billed as the star of the new Sydney program . Beau, who played for the West Tigers and Cronulla, will inherit an audience which Mark and Mick had increased 0.5 points to a 5.1 per cent share of listeners in the latest ratings survey. The line-up change on radio's most important timeslot comes during a turbulent period at Triple M Sydney, which has included the sudden departure of sacks star Mark Geyer (pictured) Melbourne presenters appear to be the biggest winners as Triple M continues to overhaul its programming around Australia. The Marty Sheargold Show, which is currently heard nationally from 3 to 4pm, will be broadcast for an additional two hours in NSW and Queensland next year. The extended hours have meant the axing of Sydney and Brisbane's Rush Hour programs which aired from 4pm to 6pm. Marty's show will not run in Melbourne in the drive slot it has been allocated in Sydney and Brisbane. In NSW, The Rush Hour was hosted by Gus Worland, who revealed in October he was quitting radio, with Jude Bolton and Aaron Woods. In Queensland, The Rush Hour was presented by Leisel Jones, Liam Flanagan and Ben Dobbin. Melbourne's The Rush Hour with James Brayshaw and Billy Brownless will from next year be broadcast from 4 to 6pm in the Victorian capital as well as Adelaide, Hobart and Perth. Adelaide's The Rush Hour with Bernie Vince, Greg Blewett and Andrew Jarman, and Perth's The Rush Hour with Andrew Embley and Katie Lamb will be cut from their respective schedules. Dead Set Legends - the Saturday 10am to 12pm sports program hosted in Sydney by Richard Freedman, Candice Warner and Brendan Annakin - last aired in October and its future is yet to be confirmed. Beau is familiar to TV viewers from his stint on Nine's now defunct Footy Show and recent hosting gigs on Ten's Amazing Race, Gladiators Australia and Top Gear Brendan, who was also Triple M's morning presenter in Sydney and had worked at the network for 12 years, was made redundant a fortnight ago. The network's Sydney content director Rex Morris' position has also recently been made redundant. Melbourne-based Dave Cameron, the chief content officer for Southern Cross Austereo - Triple M's parent company - was spotted in the Sydney offices at the time of Geyer's sacking. Triple M Breakfast with Beau, Tarsh & Woodsy kicks off on January 20, 2025, from 6-9am weekdays on 104.9 Triple M Sydney and LiSTNR.

Iowa cornerback Jermari Harris has opted out of the remainder of the 2024 season in order to prepare for the NFL draft, according to a report by 247Sports.com . The 6-foot-1 sixth-year senior from Chicago has recorded 27 tackles, three interceptions and a team-high seven pass breakups in 10 games for the Hawkeyes this season. That includes a pick-6 in a 38-21 win over Troy earlier this season. Iowa (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) plays at Maryland on Saturday before closing out its regular season at home against Nebraska on Nov. 29. The Hawkeyes are already bowl eligible, so Harris is likely opting out of three games in total. After missing the entire 2022 season due to an ankle injury, Harris was suspended for two games of the following season for his involvement in the gambling investigation into Iowa athletics. He later emerged as the Hawkeyes' top cornerback, earning the team's comeback player of the year award after compiling 42 tackles, one interception and eight pass breakups. Harris will finish his college career with 105 tackles and eight interceptions. --Field Level Media
