How day of play brought joy to Bradford children
A BOUNCY castle, face painting, and a day of play brought joy to Bradford children living with special educational needs this month. Creative Learning Academy's Summer Funday made sure the day was suitable for SEND children. It brought families and the wider community together at Bellevue Business Centre. The free activities were designed for an array of interests and abilities. Children enjoyed the bouncy castle, balloon artist, face painting, and more. They were joined by PC Danny and his colleagues from West Yorkshire Police. Children could explore the police car and learn about their experiences in the police force. Zohra Nazir said: 'The amazing success of the Funday would not have been possible without the extraordinary efforts of our staff and the generosity of the community. 'Special recognition goes to Hummera, our dedicated support staff member for her leadership and commitment. 'Our sincere thanks also go to the entire Creative Learning Academy staff team for their collaboration and hard work. The event would also not have been such a success without the dedication of all the amazing volunteers. 'We are grateful to Aneela Ahmed, Trustee Joseph Nutter Foundation, President of Rotary Adventures, Trustee & Board Member Khidmat Centre & Chair - Peacemaker International. We are also grateful to Cllr Mohammed Ali Islam for their valued support.'

HyperX's claims its latest headset lasts 250 hours on a single charge
HyperX has announced its latest flagship wireless gaming headset, and once again , the brand's primary mission statement seems to be chasing eternal life for headphone batteries. The Cloud Alpha 2 will last, according to its maker, for up to 250 hours on a full charge. While that number halves if you make use of the headsets's simultaneous Bluetooth connectivity, a more than 10-day battery life is impressive for any wireless headset. Its new multi-layer 53mm drivers are engineered to reduce distortion as much as possible, while spatial audio is supported via HyperX's Ngenuity software. The Cloud Alpha 2 isn't actually the longest-lasting headset HyperX has made. The honor still belongs to its 2022 predecessor , which could last for up to 300 hours on a single charge. On paper, losing 50 hours of battery life on a newer headset could be viewed as a disappointment, but the Cloud Alpha 2's ace card is its eye-catching RGB base station. With its colorful programmable buttons and pleasingly chunky-looking dial, you can tweak audio settings, launch shortcuts, adjust the volume and switch between connected devices. HyperX says the control station is the first of its kind on a wireless gaming headset. The Cloud Alpha 2 is compatible with PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, Mac and mobile devices wireless over a 2.4Ghz connection, as well as Xbox provided you're happy to go wired. It comes with a detachable 10mm boom mic, but you won't find any active noise-canceling tech built in. HyperX promises all-day comfort from breathable microfiber earpads and the memory foam support around the steel headband The HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 headset costs $300 and is available now.
