MORE ABOUT OUR SERVICES

Asphalt Installation, Removal, & Replacement

When an existing asphalt pavement exists but it needs repairs or replacement, there are several actions you can take. First off, you’ll only need to do asphalt removal & replacement when asphalt repairs, overlays, and resurfacing are not sufficient to take care of your pavement needs.

Sometimes the only way to eliminate safety hazards and an ugly damaged and old asphalt is by removing it. If necessary, we'll remove that old asphalt and then check grading, excavation, setting, and other factors before laying down a fresh beautiful clean layer.

Asphalt Overlay, Resurfacing, and Milling

An asphalt “overlay” is done by cleaning the existing asphalt, bonding the new asphalt to it, and then spreading the asphalt with a paving machine. “Resurfacing” is used when there are small cracks or damage on the surface of the existing asphalt but the stabilized sub grade and road base are still functional. An experienced and qualified asphalt Kansas City paving company will know what to use and when to deliver the best possible result for you, and here at Platinum Paving, we have years of analyzing paving and making the best decisions.

Asphalt Repair & Patching

Father Time and extreme weather conditions like the scorching hot sun, rainstorms, and heavy snow can take their toll on even the highest quality asphalt. A typical older home or commercial property's asphalt looks unattractive and is unsafe due to wear and tear, cracking, or drainage issues so it’s in your best interest to make immediate repairs.

Parking Lot Marking, Striping, and Re-Striping

Parking lot marking is essential. Not only are they crucial for lot function, their condition speaks about your business's activity. When you work with our professional and expert staff and team, we’ll make sure we plan out everything in advance in order to ensure that we successfully implement your requirements.

Sealcoating

Sealcoating, otherwise known as pavement sealing, is the process of applying a protective coating to asphalt-based pavements to provide a layer of protection from the outside elements such as extreme weather, oils, and U.V. damage.

Kansas City: Nigerian Immigrant Pleads Guilty to Day Care Fraud Scheme

Hauwa Al-Hassan, a Nigerian immigrant, pleaded guilty in federal court as part of a fraud scheme to receive federal child care subsidies.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Nigerian owner of a day care center in Kansas City, Mo., pleaded guilty in federal court today to submitting false information to the government as part of a fraud scheme to receive federal child care subsidies.

Hauwa Al-Hassan, 49, of Raymore, Mo., pleaded guilty before U.S. Chief District Judge Greg Kays to making false statements to the government.

Al-Hassan, a Nigerian immigrant, is the owner and CEO of Guidance Child Care Center, LLC, a child day care center at 8101 E. Bannister Rd., Kansas City, Mo. Al-Hassan is also the vice president of Guidance Academy of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

By pleading guilty today, Al-Hassan admitted that she engaged in a pattern of fraudulent billing in order to receive funding to which she was not entitled under the federal Child Care and Development Fund grant program. Al-Hassan filed claims that reported more hours and children than actually attended her daycare center.

The Child Care and Development Fund provides daycare subsidies for low-income families where the parents are employed or engaged in job training. Providers, such as Guidance, contract with the Children’s Division of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and submit claims electronically. Al-Hassan signed a contract with the Missouri Department of Social Services on May 3, 2010, to operate Guidance as a licensed childcare center providing childcare services to low-income families.

Al-Hassan admitted that she deliberately filed false attendance reports for children for more hours than they actually attended Guidance, causing a loss totaling $74,000. Under the terms of today’s plea agreement, Al-Hassan must pay that amount in restitution to the Department of Health and Human Services. She must pay $10,000 of that restitution amount prior to her sentencing hearing.

Since 2013, Guidance has been audited formally or informally by the state on four occasions. Each audit found many hours inaccurately billed for childcare services. Based on Guidance’s history of billing for services not rendered and sharing of employees and billed children with other daycares believed to be running fraud schemes on the CCDF program, two pole cameras were installed near Guidance from Feb. 11, 2016 to March 20, 2016. One camera focused on the front doors of Guidance; the second camera showed the parking lot and rear doors.  All doors in and out were covered by a pole camera. Timesheets submitted with the billing were compared with the information on the timesheets to the children seen on the pole cameras being dropped off and picked up from Guidance during that time.    There were significant discrepancies between the timesheets submitted and the pole camera footage.

This case is the result of a nationwide sweep that targeted childcare center fraud schemes. The national law enforcement operation in Missouri and six other states was the result of separate, but related, federal investigations into childcare center fraud that resulted in a loss of more than $1 million to the government.

Under federal statutes, Al-Hassan is subject to a sentence of up to five years in federal prison without parole. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.

                        -------------------------------------------------------

Deportation of Al-Hassan and a permanent ban on any relatives entering the U.S. would be a logical start. But nothing of the sort will happen.

It’s happening wherever Somali/Nigerian refugees are imported:

Minnesota: Somali Muslim daycare owners defrauded govt in $4M scam; Medicaid fraud too

New York: Muslim Sentenced For Daycare Fraud Scheme in Buffalo

Missouri: Somali Immigrant Day Care Owner Gets 4 Years in $556,000 Fraud Scheme

Hello 👋Deer-Y 🦌

[freenewstoday]

New Post has been published on https://freenews.today/2021/01/29/do-you-remember-the-celebrity-birds-of-new-york-city/

Do You Remember the Celebrity Birds of New York City?

Weather: A blast of cold, with a high in the low 20s and gusts up to 40 m.p.h. (at least it’ll be sunny). Over the weekend, highs of about 30; a snowstorm begins to arrive late Sunday.

Alternate-side parking: In effect until Feb. 11 (Lunar New Year’s Eve).

From “hot ducks” to snowy owls, New York City has seen a spate of avian celebrities in the last few years.

These often surprising species flap into town and attract thousands of admirers on social media, thickets of stories in the news and flocks of birders in person.

The most recent was a snowy owl that alighted on ball fields in Central Park on Wednesday.

[Snowy owl is spotted in Central Park, for first time in 130 years.]

Here’s a rundown of some of the city’s feathered luminaries.

Snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus)

The snowy owl, a young female with thick black chevrons on her white feathers, appeared early in the morning on Wednesday and spent much of the day scrutinized by throngs of birders and harried by crows and a hawk.

It seems that she quickly tired of the attention. By Thursday afternoon, nobody could find her in the park.

Barred owl (Strix varia)

Barry, a barred owl who was first spotted in Central Park in October, is more active during the day than most owls and “has become something of a performer,” as my colleague Lisa M. Collins wrote in November.

Another barred owl appeared in Riverside Park later in 2020 but soon moved on. Barry, who seems to have grown accustomed to his public, is still around.

Saw-whet owl (Aegolius acadicus)

A saw-whet owl, a raptor about the size of a robin with piercing yellow eyes, turned up hungry and dehydrated in the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in November. The owl was rehabilitated and safely returned to the wild.

Mandarin duck (Aix galericulata)

Who can forget the “hot duck” that kicked off the latest celebrity bird trend? The brilliantly plumed Mandarin duck became internationally known after he appeared in Central Park in 2018, drawing crowds of hundreds and inspiring many people to take up birding for the first time.

Great blue heron (Ardea herodias)

About the same time the Mandarin duck was causing a stir, some parkgoers began sharing pictures of a great blue heron. It was a regular denizen of the park with striking cerulean plumage.

News coverage of the new hot bird soon followed.

Metropolitan Diary: Setting off

Dear Diary:

It was September 1969. I was fresh from college and in Manhattan for a few days before boarding a ship for graduate study abroad.

My plans changed abruptly when I got a call informing me that the draft board had refused my request to leave the country. I was headed home to California.

“Don’t worry,” the desk clerk said the next morning when I explained why I was leaving early. “It’ll work out.”

Arriving home, I learned that a friend of my brothers who was a lawyer had won me a nine-month reprieve. I would get my fellowship and two semesters abroad, but I had to get back to New York quickly.

My ship berth was no longer available, but I was told that one might open up if someone canceled.

After an early flight from San Francisco, I returned to the same hotel. The next morning, I called the fellowship office. No berth had opened up.

“Just get down to the dock as quickly as you can,” I was advised.

I caught a cab to the pier.

“It’ll work out just fine,” the driver said as I got out.

At the boarding gate, I watched passengers disappear up the gangway while I waited off to the side.

“It’ll work out,” an officer with the shipping company said when I explained my predicament.

The passenger gangway slid away. The ship’s steam whistle shook the dock. The officer checked his clipboard and walked off. My heart sank.

I felt someone grab my elbow. It was the purser. He led me toward the crew gangway, and we boarded just before the ship pivoted out into the Hudson.

“But where will I sleep?” I asked.

“We’ve nothing at the moment,” the purser said as he sent me off to explore, “but we’ll get back to you.”
