thoughtful policymaking and my commitment to serving the community through public service I have always been committed to community development and civic engagement I have been actively involved in various local initiatives and organizations that aim to improve our city’s infrastructure Serving on the City Council would allow me to leverage my experience diverse perspective and dedication to

Addressing Affordable Housing: The most pressing issue facing the 2024 (and ongoing) Tigard City Council is the lack of affordable housing This challenge is critical because it directly affects the quality of life for many residents and impacts the overall social fabric of our community that reverbs without limitat Without affordable housing options and local businesses struggle to attract and retain workers This domino affect makes it harder to entice and keep businesses and residents attracted to Tigard We need to continue to move residents of Tigard from being “severely rent burdened” to long term affordable housing I will continue to work with our local and regional counterparts to address the various degrees of affordability I will continue to push zoning measures to be inclusionary and that there are rent stability protections for those who continue to rent I will continue to support streamlining the development process and reduce regulatory barriers and lastly engaging with the community and bringing awareness and transparency on what is being accomplished.  Learn more about Shar Banerjee’s campaign at Sharfortigard.com, or contact Shar directly at shar.banerjee@gmail.com

hours of its launch This sharp decline has drawn the attention of the crypto community with accusations of insider manipulation and market control or a “classic rugpull scheme” On-chain investigator ZachXBT took to Twitter to reveal that the potential rugpull in SHAR token is linked to a coordinated effort involving a conspiracy group and key opinion leader (KOL) manipulation His findings have stirred concerns about the ethics and transparency in the project’s promotion ZachXBT said that over 50 tier-1 crypto KOLs have been associated with the SHAR project and they have shilled the token to their millions of followers He also said that a number of KOLs from this list have deleted their promotion tweet for SHAR soon after the rugpull happened.  An earlier report from Lookonchain revealed that the insider wallet dumped 500 million SHAR tokens – equivalent to 50% of the total supply – in a single transaction resulting in profit of 19,620 SOL or approximately $3.38 million This massive sale was a key factor in the price collapse with wiping out 96% of SHAR’s market cap within hours one of the suspect 0XSun admitted to collaborating with the SHAR project but emphasized that his involvement was not purely motivated by promotional fees.  I definitely don’t want fans to lose money My original intention was to cooperate in promotion and publicity on the premise that I was optimistic about the project it would be a win-win for all three parties.” 0XSun said on Twitter it is really hard to prevent the project party from doing evil both KOL and fans were victims and had to fight each other while the project party reaped the benefits.”  The sudden crash has sparked outrage among investors many of whom are demanding answers and compensation this incident serves as a

choice near the end of Act 2 has huge consequences Act 2 of Baldur's Gate 3 picks up the pace After fighting your way through the Shadowlands and delving into the Gauntlet of Shar the source of Ketheric Thorm's immortality is revealed and it's up to you to either kill the Nightsong or wield her as a weapon of light this story arc has massive implications for her—do you want her to stay a follower of Shar The choices you make will have massive consequences going forward so beware of spoilers for this section of Act 2 (Image credit: Larian Studios)(Image credit: Larian Studios)The cheesy Balthazar strategy (easy) If you've left Balthazar alive to help you discover the secret to Ketheric Thorm's immortality he'll show up here to take the Nightsong back to Thorm a very easy way to beat this fight: ambush him using stealth before he can get monologuing simply sneak your party behind Balthazar (shift + C on your keyboard) while he's distracted and attack him you might be able to smite him to death during the surprise round there's another layer of defence: Counterspell he'll open with an uninterruptible Animate Dead which summons an entire horde of skeletons that turn the fight from a butchering into a genuine boss battle he'll cast Animate Dead in full view of your spellcasters which means your caster will need to succeed on a difficulty 16 ability check to counter it Quicksave beforehand in case you need a mulligan—this is a cheese strategy Balthazar turns from a fierce adversary into a complete chump While it's a very D&D approach to simply jump the DM's big bad while their back is turned you might want to take on the fight as 'intended' letting Balthazar cast Animate Dead turns the fight into a proper brawl Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals Having both a Paladin and a Cleric makes this fight a lot easier While Balthazar can't be thwarted with Turn Undead and Divine Smite's bonus d8 against undead still applies to him so your number one priority is to run him down and kill him He has an aura that makes his skeletons resistant to physical damage an arsenal of spells like Ray of Sickness that can reduce your damage he's very fragile and will go down to a couple of turns of focus fire keep his skeletons busy with Channel Divinity: Turn Undead The mages are the biggest threat after Balthazar as some come equipped with a Sleep spell that forces you to spend one of your four actions per round to shake your allies awake as the destroyers/defenders will try to shove you off for a one-hit kill it's just a matter of mopping up the field then deciding what to do with Shadowheart and the captive Nightsong if you let Balthazar take the Nightsong back to Thorm so to let some necromancer run away with her is a massive betrayal The first conversation options here are misleading you might feel tempted to argue with her right away none of these options actually seal the Nightsong's fate and pushing too hard will make things worse Don't give up on yourself" has a difficulty of 30—as Gale might put it This check is impossible to beat without maxed charisma and persuasion expertise If you keep pushing after failing this check take a breather and respect her initial decision getting through to her and giving you a golden opportunity to turn her back to the light The persuasion option here has a much more manageable difficulty of 21 and Shadowheart will throw the Night Spear into the void (don't worry casting Enhance Ability (Eagle's Splendour) before entering dialogue is a great way to ensure success you can let Shadowheart kill the Nightsong This has some gnarly consequences for the people back at the Last Light Inn Shadowheart will become the leader of the Sharran church and a Dark Justiciar slaying the daughter of Selune causes her magic to falter While you might be tempted to kill the Nightsong and remove Thorm's immortality rest assured that there are no negative consequences to

memory of your choice for an ability score reduction you can sacrifice your Forbidden Knowledge condition instead Use Remove Curse to get rid of that -2 afterwards Sell some memories for an ability score bonus you probably spent far too long exploring the room before giving up and abandoning the broken mirror The good news is that there's another Mirror of Loss in Act 3 and you can actually interact with this one properly If you've been to the House of Grief in the Lower City to complete Shadowheart's quest you'll find this mirror in the Chamber of Loss on the lowest level of the cult's headquarters the mirror will bestow you with an ability score buff here's how to use the Mirror of Loss in Baldur's Gate 3 Once you interact with the Mirror of Loss in the House of Grief you'll need to pass one of two possible intelligence-based skill checks to understand its purpose: Recent updatesYou can bypass this skill check entirely by first reading a "hastily written note" in the Night Orchid Cave located at (X:-377 Y:-1697) behind the Cloister of Sombre Embrace armory beneath the House of Grief you should also pray to the mirror by passing a Religion check (Difficulty Class 25) before you offer up one of your memories to it sacrificing a memory will allow you to trade -2 in one ability score for +2 in another you might want to stack the odds in your favour by using Withers to temporarily respec the desired character's Intelligence as high as it can possibly go having your party members cast Enhance Ability (Fox's Cunning) on that character and having both a Bard and a Cleric on standby ready to use Bardic Inspiration and Guidance to help out You can also make sure to go to the mirror with four Inspiration points to-hand It's worth noting that you only have access to the top memory response if you've read the Necromancy of Thay and acquired the Forbidden Knowledge condition The Deception choice also won't result in any bonus After you've received your -2 in a chosen ability score Once you've got both -2 and +2 in your chosen ability scores you can use the Remove Curse spell from Shadowheart to get rid of the -2 which appears in the form of the Stolen Vigour condition It's worth noting that if you aren't able to pass the Religion check praying to the mirror it'll only give you -2 in an ability score and no bonus you should definitely choose to sacrifice your Forbidden knowledge from reading the Necromancy of Thay as that will let you choose a +2 even if you failed the Religion check Link copiedShareShare articleWARNING: This story contains distressing content Jimmie Mongoo wears his son's favourite footy shirt while relaxing at home after long shifts operating a crane at a mine It's one way he can feel close to Brenton his 37-year-old son who has been missing for almost a year "His hobbies were watching the football especially the Hawks … so I wear it every time I'm home," explained Jimmie Brenton Shar vanished from the coastal Western Australia town of Geraldton about four hours' drive north of Perth The disappearance of Brenton has devastated his parents partner Kasey and their two young daughters Jimmie Mongoo’s son Brenton went missing from their home town of Geraldton in Western Australia Jimmie's bond with his son had strengthened after Brenton moved back to Geraldton five years ago Their relationship as adults deepened after a disconnection during Brenton's childhood Jimmie spends most mornings driving around town looking for any clues that could lead to his son's whereabouts "It hurts a lot for me to just be doing it every day I just break down thinking whether I'm going to find anything or not and how I will react," Jimmie said behind the wheel of his ute Jimmie Mongoo is still searching for his son Brenton Brenton and Kasey had been together for about five years and had two little girls under the age of three he was staying at his dad Jimmie's house he goes to his dad's and cools off and then comes back home," said Kasey Kasey and Brenton had been together for about five years when he disappeared Brenton had dropped past his home with Kasey to pick up some groceries before heading back to his father's she had no reason to think this would be the last time she would ever see her partner "Last I knew he was watching a movie [at Jimmie's house] and having some food and resting up on the couch," Kasey remembered There's a moment from that evening that haunts Kasey a puzzle she'll never be able to unpick Brenton’s family say he was last seen near this service station "My phone was ringing … I answered it It was about 9pm that night when Brenton left his dad's house with his two nephews to buy cigarettes from the service station down the road Jimmie says the last time he saw Brenton was walking down this road Jimmie suspects Brenton may have gone out to buy drugs He was worried his son's mental health had been going downhill The next morning no-one could get in touch with Brenton Kasey knew straight away something was wrong This was totally out of character for the man she loved "He's a person that always has his phone charged and he always texts back or rings back … I always knew where he was," she said driving around town looking for any sign of her partner Kasey Burns says she and partner Brenton would text every day before he disappeared "I went out searching everywhere pretty much searching high and low … but no one's seen Brenton," she said there are differing accounts of when the family contacted the police WA Police told the ABC the first record on file of the family raising concerns occurred five days after Brenton went missing But Jimmie is adamant he went to the police station to report Brenton missing the day after he disappeared and the response was dismissive "The guy that I was talking to at the counter the officer there … what I got off him was just another blackfella," Jimmie said Brenton Shar’s family feel they were treated dismissively by local police The distraught father said the police assumed Brenton had "just wandered off" and was "visiting friends" Relief came to the family when they heard Brenton had been spotted in town information that Jimmie shared with the police Brenton Shar was 37 years old when he disappeared in Geraldton and two days later when Brenton was still nowhere to be found the family raised the alarm again with the police As the days rolled by with still no sign of Brenton his partner Kasey desperately continued to follow every possible lead "I couldn't sit home without getting up and coming down and searching When she heard someone thought they'd seen him by the beach around the time he went missing Kasey Burns says she searched day and night for her missing partner and I found his shorts," said Kasey through tears standing on the beach for the first time since the difficult discovery "I was just looking and started singing out for Brenton I just felt like my soul left my body." Kasey was hopeful this clue would lead to some answers It took another nine days for police to confirm through CCTV and witness accounts that Brenton was wearing similar shorts the night he disappeared A pair of missing man Brenton Shar’s shorts were found by the beach in Geraldton Police divers arrived from Perth the following day to search the area who told her the search had been unsuccessful and they were back to square one in their search for Brenton "When [the police] rang me and told me on the phone his family drove the streets of Geraldton looking for him Kasey remembers the last conversation she had with detectives "All the evidence they have leads into the ocean," Kasey said this is just another painful detail that doesn't add up "I've never known Brenton to go to the beach by himself … not at night time," she said Brenton's loved ones are not only Indigenous family searching for a missing loved one calling for more government and police resources to help find them leading a protest march through their hometown of Geraldton they can help other families struggling through the same ordeal Hundreds of people marched in Broome in July last year calling for answers after the disappearance of several Aboriginal men in Australia's north-west in recent years "And for other people to notice," he added Indigenous men are over-represented in long-term missing persons cases in comparison to non-Indigenous men in almost every Australian state and territory that records this data At least 150 Indigenous men are missing long-term across the country — but the true number is likely much higher as this figure does not capture every jurisdiction the police could not supply the ABC with data both citing the challenges to accurately record the Indigenous status of a missing person it's impossible to determine the full scale of the problem Greens Senator Dorinda Cox argues the collation of Indigenous status would help to understand the problem guide preventative action to do something about it what that means is that the family then go looking for their own answers They are self-funding rallies and searches which in 2025 is just unacceptable in a country as rich and as progressive as Australia." Senator Cox says there's a story attached to every person that disappears Senator Cox is now calling for a federal investigation into missing Indigenous men what is the impact that's happening for successive victims and also their families?" Remembering the people behind the numbers — brothers uncles and cousins who are loved and missed drive the senator's call for an inquiry There are at least 150 Indigenous men missing long-term across Australia that's part of a community … there's a story that's attached to that," Senator Cox said "There's a story about their life that they've lived and their life that every one of their family members Brenton Shar’s family describe him as “full of laughter and fun” Jimmie Mongoo remembers Brenton not as a missing person always wanted to joke with his family and friends and everything he really loved his children," he said Brenton was close with his two older brothers "The three of them grew up together… couldn't tell them apart They used to be called the three amigos because they were always together," he said Jimmie misses Brenton desperately and often sits on the verandah with a cup of tea hoping his son will one day wander up the street Jimmie Mongoo describes his sons as the "three amigos" Tucked away in a lab in Canberra among hills and ridges with walking trails forensic teams from the Australian Federal Police have what they say could be the key to solving some of those long-term missing persons cases The potential for closure rests with the more than 700 unidentified human remains currently held by police and coroners around Australia members of the public may come across items be concerned that they could be of human origin," said Joanne Cameron who is Acting Assistant Commissioner and Commander of Forensics for the AFP Commander of Forensics for the Australian Federal Police Joanne Cameron says more missing persons cases could be solved by analysing unidentified remains Over a four-year period up to 2024, the AFP's National DNA Program examined 99 unknown human remains, solving 19 long-term missing persons cases, however none are believed to be Indigenous people. "A majority of those cases were actually solved through DNA analysis, so matching [a] DNA profile which was recovered from the remains against reference samples that were provided by the families of the missing persons," said forensic biologist Michelle Spiden. Forensic biologist Michelle Spiden says missing persons cases have been solved through DNA analysis. (ABC News: Sissy Reyes) Federal government funding for the DNA testing program ended last year. The remains will now only be examined on a case-by-case basis when requested by police or coroners. "As we work towards helping identify those human remains … I have no doubt we will find closure on some of our long-term missing persons cases," Ms Cameron said. "The unambiguous loss that families feel while they wonder what happened to their loved one can never, ever be understated." Brenton's father and partner continue to search and hope, but the emotional toll is high. "As his father, I felt like it should have been my thing to find him," Jimmie said during one of his searches for his son. Brenton's partner Kasey shared her heartache, knowing her two girls will grow up without their dad. "He was a fun dad, always playing and interacting with the girls," she said. Brenton’s family say his young daughters still wonder where he is. (Supplied) Their two and three-year-old daughters aren't quite old enough to understand that Brenton most likely isn't coming home, said Kasey. They still ask where their dad is hiding. "They're wondering where Dad is because they always look for him in the house. They look for him still," she said. Jimmie describes his granddaughter searching for Brenton under the beds. "She came up and grabbed me by the face, and just stared in my eyes and said, 'look, Pop, where is he now?'" he said, with a sad laugh. WA Police told the ABC's Indigenous Affairs Team that from the time the family first raised welfare concerns, it conducted "extensive inquiries" into Brenton's whereabouts, which included patrols, drones, and reviewing CCTV. "Many hundreds of investigative actions have been and continue to be undertaken by police to determine Mr Shar's whereabouts," it said in a statement. In those crucial early days, Jimmie felt there was little communication from the police. Jimmie Mongoo says he felt there were gaps in communication from police. (ABC News: Sissy Reyes)  "I've never really had any information that they were doing all this stuff, and as far as I'm aware, myself and my family were doing it all," Jimmie said. WA Police told the ABC in a statement that it remained committed to finding answers for families of missing persons and provides regular updates to families throughout an investigation via phone and in-person meetings.

As you might know, the Tiefling barbarian has an infernal engine inside her, and while it makes her a great fighter, she does run a little hot. If you go and visit the Tiefling smith, Dammon in the centre of the Emerald Grove settlement he'll explain that the engine is actually going into overdrive and will kill her unless you repair it with some of the rare metal You'll need to locate some and bring a piece back to Dammon He'll repair Karlach a bit and then tell you to meet him in Baldur's Gate later in the story by which time he'll have more solutions to Karlach's problem You can then find Dammon again during act 2 at the Last Light Inn with the other Tieflings where he'll accept another piece of Infernal Iron to repair Karlach fully It's also worth noting that if you Save the Emerald Grove and you haven't spoken to him with Karlach and started the quest to find the Infernal Iron you won't be able to repair Karlach with Infernal Iron or talk to Dammon though it's unrelated to all this Infernal Alloy stuff 2024Baldur's Gate 3 Gameplay Walkthrough - The Gauntlet of Shar TrialsThe Gauntlet of Shar is an important location

site violinist.com so well You have the knowledge of two very different worlds and that is a great combination 2024 at 08:02 PM · I was lucky to begin my intro to the violin in the 1st grade of my elementary school in Nashville in 1935 A part of the excellent music program at the time included the opportunity to have violin lessons before the beginning of the regular school day I retired from the San Diego public schools in 1989 after 37 years in public education During these years I saw music education being cast aside every time there was a need to reduce the cost of educating the children I had continually fought for keeping good music programs in the schools in order to raise the revered test scores of the students My efforts never succeeded and music education particularly instrumental music continued to be reduced over and over If we could only get good music programs back in the schools not only would interest in playing be increased but also Math and general education test scores would rise In recent years experiments in several schools and school districts have proven the point I am proud to say I 've continued to be a supporter of these programs A few years ago a local school district put out an appeal for instrument donations which could be repaired and then loaned to low income students I quickly donated the fine little 1920's German 1/2 violin on which I had learned It was difficult to give it up after all those years but I was happy that it might be the reason some child might become the new Heifetz I'm now 95 and still hoping these things can happen Getting good music programs back in the schools is the only step that will truly make a difference Choosing the right dog food for your Shar Pei is crucial especially if you want to avoid
