Lawyers for New Mexico-based Pojoaque Pueblo presented on Monday a federal appeals court with arguments in an appealed case that could impact the way tribes and states negotiate the terms of casino compacts.
The Indian community appealed a lower court ruling that prevented it from negotiating a gambling compact with the US Department of the Interior rather than with New Mexico. Under the current tribal regulations, an Indian nation must reach an agreement with the state its members reside in in order to be able to run a gambling venue there.
Pojoaque Pueblo's former agreement with the state of New Mexico expired this June. Tribal officials have tried to negotiate a new one with somewhat different terms. For instance, they called for the gambling age to be lowered to 18 and to be allowed to serve alcohol on the casino floor. What is more, Pojoaque Pueblo wanted to stop sharing a portion of its revenue with New Mexico. Eventually, no new compact was signed.
However, state Gov. Susana Martinez and her administration stated that if approved, those new terms would have quite a negative effect on the state's attempts to provide residents with a socially responsible environment.
Attorneys for the Indian community said during the Monday hearing that the state had not negotiated the terms of the new compact "in good fate." Representatives for the state, on the other hand, denied Pojoaque Pueblo's claims that New Mexico had ignored important provisions of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act for settling its dispute with the Indian community. As a proof to this, they pointed out that other New Mexico-based tribes signed new compacts with the state after their previous ones expired.
Pojoaque Pueblo currently operates two casinos in New Mexico and it runs them under the provisions of its old agreement. It also keeps on depositing a portion of its gaming revenue into a special account that is overseen by an independent trustee.
Annually, the pueblo pays up to $6 million to the state. The New Mexico Gaming Control Board revealed that the casino operated by the Indian community generated revenue of $60.7 million last year. Under the terms of the expired compact, it contributes 8% of its net winnings to the state.
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, which heard on Monday the involved parties in the legal dispute, is yet to announce its final decision.

Resilient Richmond
Solar Power in Richmond

Climate Action Plan
Plan to Deal with a Changing Climate
Greenhouse Gas Inventory
Gathering Data to Plan
Heavier spring flooding. Hotter, drier summers. Shifting growing seasons. These are just a few of the consequences of a warming climate. Unparalleled environmental change threaten local and global public health, species diversity, natural systems, and communities moving forward. With proper planning, we can adapt, and withstand the wide-ranging impacts of climate change that threaten our economy, health, and infrastructure.
Since 2019, Richmond has been part of Indiana University's Environment Resilience Institute's Resilience Cohort. Being part of this cohort has enabled the 2018 Greenhouse Gas inventory Project and the 2020 Climate Action Plan.
Climate Action Plan (CAP)
CAPs serve as a roadmap for communities ready to reduce emissions, introduce energy efficiency programs, and join a global effort to combat climate change. Cities' needs vary widely, so no two CAPs look the same. Richmond has been fortunate enough to receive guidance from Indiana University on CAP best practices and continues to benefit from the collective knowledge of a handful of other Hoosier cities participating in annual sustainability programs. Climate Action Plans are also referred to as "Emission Reduction Plans" and "Sustainability Action Plans." Richmond's 2020 Comprehensive Plan directs the City to "Work with the Richmond Environmental Sustainability Commission to prepare a Citywide Sustainability Action Plan." The Commission hopes to present this plan to Common Council in 2021 for approval.
Youth-Led Climate Resolution
In 2019, seniors from Earlham College began the process of drafting a youth-led climate resolution to be presented to Richmond Common Council. Members of the team gathered local data, interviewed local community leaders, researched other climate resolutions, and wrote the first draft of Indiana's 9th youth-led climate resolution. In 2021,local students revisited the draft, updated the language, surveyed 100 fellow students, met with council members, and ultimately were successful in seeing it passed by a 7-2 vote. Resolutions such as this encourage Richmond to follow through with energy efficiency projects, appoint a sustainability coordinator, and adopt a climate action plan. Many pieces of the resolution, such as those mentioned previously, are outlined as goals in the Richmond Rising Comprehensive Plan passed unanimously in 2020.

Hoosier Resilience Index
In 2020, Richmond participated in the Hoosier Resilience Index survey which evaluates a city's level of preparedness for disasters and complications made more severe by climate change (rising temperatures and extreme rain events, for example). Responses were gathered from those involved in energy production, emergency management, economic development, healthcare, and more. Results were gathered together into a plan of action that Richmond can use to build resiliency in the face of a changing climate. Project recommendations from the 2020 Richmond Rising Comprehensive plan included "creating a resiliency plan that aligns community priorities and resources to better withstand hazardous / disaster-related events and recover more quickly." The resulting resiliency plan will be featured in the adaptation section of the Climate Action Plan.

Beat the Heat Program
This program, made possible by Indiana University and the Office of Rural and Community Affairs, supports the salary of a Heat Relief Coordinator for two years. Richmond was selected as one of two cities to receive over $120,000 in funding for the project. The coordinator will spend their time working with NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and other partners to study the effects of rising temperatures on our community and implement heat relief strategies for vulnerable populations.

IDEM Clean Community Challenge
Richmond is returning to the Clean Communities program after a brief break as one of five pilot communities! The Challenge helps governments pursue sustainability goals such as waste reduction and land conservation while offering technical support and recognition. Richmond is pursuing Bronze level designation for the Challenge and will eventually serve as a mentor/resource for other communities pursuing the Challenge.

In this undated photo a man, believed to be the gunman who killed dozens at an Istanbul nightclub, films himself and the street behind him as he wanders nearby Istanbul's crowded Taksim square.
Turkish media have broadcast a video of a man they say is the suspected gunman who killed 39 people during a New Year's attack on an Istanbul nightclub.
The video appears to be from a cell phone the man is carrying as he walks around Istanbul's Taksim square. He spends much of the time looking into the camera, but does not speak.
It is unclear when the video was recorded.
Authorities had earlier released a grainy image of the suspected shooter taken from security camera footage.
Turkish media also reported Tuesday that authorities detained two foreign nationals at Istanbul's Ataturk airport in connection with the attack. No other details were given.
Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus told reporters Monday that eight other people had been detained.
A Turkish police handout picture of a suspect in Istanbul nightclub attack which killed at least 39 people on New Year's Eve, made available Jan. 2, 2017.
The attack began early Sunday with the gunman killing a police officer and a civilian outside the Reina nightclub before going inside. There were about 600 people, many of them foreigners, in the club at the time, some of whom jumped into the Bosphorus Strait in order to escape. Authorities said the shooter blended in with people leaving the club. In addition to those killed, about 70 people were injured.
On Tuesday, U.S. President Barack Obama spoke by phone with Erdogan to express his condolences. The White House said the two leaders agreed that Turkey and the United States must continue to stand united in order to defeat terrorism. Obama also praised Turkey's ongoing efforts to work with regional players to facilitate a nationwide cease-fire in Syria and a return to political negotiations between the Syrian regime and the opposition.
A police officer looks at the photographs of the victims as two others stand guard a day after an attack at a popular nightclub in Istanbul, Jan. 2, 2017.
In a video released last week, Islamic State called on its supporters to launch attacks in Turkey. The video came against the backdrop of the Turkish military's ongoing battle to wrest control of the strategically important Syrian town of al-Bab from the jihadist group.
Citing security sources, Turkish media reported Monday the gunman in the nightclub attack is believed to have come from a Central Asian country, either Kyrgyzstan or Uzbekistan. Many Islamic State fighters are drawn from Central Asian countries and have used Istanbul as a base before traveling to fight in Syria.
Local media, citing a police report, said that three days before the nightclub attack, 63 suspected Islamic State militants were detained across Turkey, including in Istanbul. The same report said many of those held were from foreign countries and that the same jihadist cell which carried out June's attack on Istanbul's Ataturk airport could be behind this latest deadly attack.
Relatives of Fatih Cakmak, a security guard and a victim of an attack by a gunman at Reina nightclub, react during his funeral in Istanbul, Turkey, Jan. 2, 2017.
Funerals are continuing for those killed in the New Year's attack, which was the fourth deadly IS attack in Istanbul in a year.
For one unnamed mourner there was both anger and despair.
"This is where words fail. What word, what sentence can depict this pain? After life is gone, the heart is gone. Terror is not only the problem of this country, it is the problem of every living person, but they just cannot find a solution," the mourner said.
The PKK Kurdish rebel group has also carried out bombings in Turkey's main cities, including last month in Istanbul. The government has promised to step up security.
But the security forces are struggling to cope with mass purges within their ranks after July's failed coup attempt, which Turkey's government has blamed on followers of the Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen.


PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan says the government is committed to bring tribal districts at par with developed districts of the province.
Chairing a meeting of the provincial cabinet in Peshawar on Tuesday, he said rehabilitation and reconstruction of newly tribal districts is among top priorities of the government to remove sense of deprivation of tribesmen.
The Chief Minister directed the concerned authorities to speed up the process of self-employment scheme for tribal youth for which an amount of more than one billion rupees has been allocated.
Mahmood Khan said the process of solarization of mosques, schools and other developmental projects in tribal districts should be accelerated.
The meeting decided to acquire land for industrial estate in tribal belt.
It was also decided to overcome shortage of staff, medical equipments and medicines in all government hospitals in the province.
Six new playgrounds will be established besides upgrading of nineteen playgrounds across the province.
The meeting was briefed about more than one thousand different development schemes in the area out of which two hundred and forty-six are near to completion.
The provincial cabinet also approved to give status of tehsil to Martung area of district Shangla.

It's Not The Speeding...
Thread: It's Not The Speeding...
Here's a nice little video making the rounds online:
Observe the Hero (as we're constantly told they are) driving at least 85 MPH - the car pacing him is going that fast and can't catch up. In many states, anything over 80 MPH - anywhere - is statutory "reckless" driving. The offender is subject to immediate arrest (at the cop's discretion), his vehicle to impoundment. If charged, he faces a mandatory court appearance, the probable loss of his driving "privileges" - and the certainty (upon conviction) of doubled or tripled insurance premiums for the next five years at least.
But when you're a cop, you get to drive "recklessly" with legal impunity.
Just as - when you're a cop - you get to raise your weapon at people with legal impunity. See what happens when an ordinary citizen fires a gun in a public area where innocent bystanders might get hit.
See what happens when a cop does the same.
The cop in this video also likes to tailgate - an act that is reckless, as well as illegal.
He closes at high speed, then bears down on the driver in the small black car, his cruiser less than a car length off its bumper. If the car ahead needed to brake suddenly, the cop would absolutely have piled into it. Reckless driving. The real thing (unlike the statutory nonsense about anything faster than 80 MPH).
But they do it because they can. Because they are an entitled - and protected - class. There is a saying:
Who watches the watchmen?
And the answer, of course, is... no one. Hence the problem. The double standards, the hypocrisy. Which inevitably leads to abuse, to cynicism - on their part as well as our part.
It is a near certainty that this cop has issued numerous "reckless" driving cites to ordinary citizens for driving at speeds lower than he was driving in this video. And it does not take a seer with the powers of Nostradamus to make a prophecy about what would happen to a mere citizen driver who charged up behind a cop at 90 MPH and then rode his ass as in the video.
Cops wonder why they are despised by more and more people. They apparently do not grok that most people despise hypocrites, loathe bullies. And all too many cops are both.
Here's another one, caught en flagrante delicto:
Note the cop's anger at being chastised for "speeding." He does not deny that he was in fact "speeding." He feels - he says out loud - that because he is a cop he is entitled to "speed."
Ecce homo!
Behold the man.
But, they are after all "just doing their jobs" - and that is the deeper problem.
Take away the structure - the laws and courts that empower him - and what are you left with? Typically, a very average to sub-average individual. The ordinary/everyday cop is - by himself - not particularly impressive, intellectually or physically - and usually far from heroic. Like hyenas, they are aggressive in packs - but timid and retiring on their own. Consider the Before and After photos most of us are familiar with from the Nuremburg Trails. Dressed in his snappy uniform as an SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer, Adolf Eichmann looked cocky and fearsome. But in civvies, he - and the rest of them - looked like what they actually were. Bureaucrats. Mediocre people made monstrous by the trappings of state power.
The solution, then, is not to "reform" the police.
It is to reform the laws.
Eliminate laws that endow people in uniforms with the legal power to point guns at people absent presentable, tangible evidence of an actual harm caused to a flesh and blood victim.
Dispense with "statutory" laws that manufacture "offenses" against a fiction - this thing called the state. It does not exist. It is not a living thing. It therefore has no rights - only actual living beings have those. "The state" is a rhetorical sleight of hand. A means by which some people arrogate power unto themselves - and the means by which they fool other people into accepting this lording over them as right and proper.
It is very, very wrong.
Expose the myth of authority - and you have delegitimized probably two-thirds of the daily activities of modern law enforcement. In which case, we revert back to peace officers - if we have need of "officers" at all. The majority of us (being peaceful, not causing harm to others) would - once again - be free to go about our lives.
The cop in that video clearly felt competent to drive 90 MPH - and possibly, he was. The Interstate system was, after all, designed for average speeds in the 70-75 MPH range... back in the late 1950s. It is almost 70 years down the road from that. Is it unreasonable to suggest that, just maybe, it's ok to drive 80 or even 90 today, given that modern cars are probably "safer" at 80 or 90 than a circa late-1950s car was at 70?
Why not go deep and just leave people free to drive at speeds they deem reasonable and prudent? Montana did exactly that for many years and it seemed to work just fine - because most people are (wait for it) reasonable and prudent and will drive within their own limits, without the cudgel of "the law" usurping their own judgment and replacing it with someone else's.
It is not the cop's "speeding" that grates. It is the hypocrisy.
And - necessarily - the tyranny that is necessarily manufactured when hypocrites are given authority.

Maamria: "The game doesn't need any publicity"
Speaking ahead of Saturday's home clash against league leaders MK Dons, Maamria admitted that it is an obvious aspect of needed improvement.
"We have been getting silly sending offs and silly bookings. It is something that I have to try and sort out within ourselves.
"I think we are third in the discipline table which is not good. Good teams are disciplined in everything they do. Despite that, we are up there in the league and if we just sort it out I think we can improve to be even better."
Last weekend's heavy defeat at Bury was hard to take for everyone involved.
In a largely positive season so far, it remains the biggest disapointment but Maamria says a game against local rivals who are flying high is the ideal antidote.
"I think it is perfect, I don't think it could be a better game. It is a fantastic opportunity for us, it is a good measure to see where we are against the top of the league.
"I look forward to these games because mentally the players should be ready anyway. I haven't got to hype up what MK Dons have and haven't got. We know they have come down two divisions from the Championship, so they have some Championship players.
"They are doing very well and it is no secret that they are top of the league and we have got them at home. It is the perfect opportunity for us and it is going to be a good game, I am looking forward to it."
Saturday's game will see Stevenage return home for the first time in three weeks, since the dramatic 3-2 comeback win over Oldham Athletic. Maamria says that the whole squad is excited about being back at the Lamex Stadium.
"I think I have been seeing more of the bus driver than my wife! It has been a difficult three weeks away from home, it feels like a long time since we played Oldham at home.
"I am excited for the fans more than anything else, I think we all are. Our last home game had a fantastic finish to it, we were 1-2 down and we turned it around in ten minutes to win 3-2.
"It was a fantastic finish to the game, an emphatic victory and I think it was one that everyone in Stevenage would remember. Hopefully they will come back in their numbers.
"As I said, the game doesn't need any publicity because it is a huge game, not just a local Derby."

Quidditch Positionen Navigation menu Video
Harry Potter: All About Quidditch
Instructions: All you have to do is answer the personality questions about yourself and we will let you know which position you would play.
Here is a little more context on each of the different positions in the game. We have also included some famous witches and wizards who have played the position.
Each team has only one Seeker and the only goal of the position is to catch the Golden Snitch. The Seeker plays a major role because the game can only end after one of them has caught the Golden Snitch.
If they are successful in doing so, the game ends and their team scores points. Typically, Seekers are the smallest and fastest players on their teams.
The position is also one that probably has the most glory attached to it. We are introduced to the position very early as Harry Potter becomes the Seeker for Gryffindor in the first book and movie.
The Seeker position does not have any real comparison to any muggle sport. This is a valuable position because each goal is worth 10 points.
Chasers are typically fast and agile, similar to Seekers. They could be compared to forwards in sports like hockey and soccer as their main goal is to score goals.
Each team has two Beaters and they are the only position who have bats. Their main goal is to protect their team from Bludgers but they can also direct them at their opponents.
Beaters are typically really strong and have great balance. They could be compared to defensemen in sports like hockey and soccer as their main goal is to defend.
Harry Potter plays as Seeker for his house team at Hogwarts. Regional and international Quidditch competitions are mentioned throughout the series.
Aspects of the sport's history are revealed in Quidditch Through the Ages , published by Rowling in to benefit Comic Relief.
A real-life version of the game has been created, in which the players use brooms, but run instead of flying. Rowling came up with the sport in a Manchester hotel room after a row with her then-boyfriend.
She explained: "I had been pondering the things that hold a society together, cause it to congregate and signify its particular character and knew I needed a sport.
Despite the sport's popularity with fans, Rowling grew to dislike describing the matches. She commented in an interview:.
To be honest with you, Quidditch matches have been the bane of my life in the Harry Potter books. They are necessary in that people expect Harry to play Quidditch, but there is a limit to how many ways you can have them play Quidditch together and for something new to happen.
Rowling experienced "fiendish glee" writing this scene, which features memorable commentary by Luna Lovegood. In Rowling started publishing a series of match reports from the Quidditch World Cup on Pottermore , culminating in a short story about the final featuring the return of Harry, Ron, Hermione and their friends as adults.
This generated interest from several media outlets, as it was the first new writing about the Harry Potter characters since the end of the series in Quidditch is introduced in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone , and is a regularly recurring feature throughout the first six books.
It is depicted as being played by both professionals as in tournaments like the Quidditch World Cup and amateurs. A major motif of five of the Harry Potter books is the competition among the four Hogwarts houses for the Quidditch Cup each school year; in particular, the rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin.
Magical flying broomsticks are one of the forms of transportation for wizards and witches, as well as being used for playing Quidditch.
The three most prominent broomsticks in the books are the Nimbus , Nimbus , and the Firebolt, both of which have been produced as merchandise by Warner Bros.
The Nimbus is introduced as one of the best broomsticks in the wizarding world. Harry receives a Nimbus in Philosopher's Stone so that he can play for Gryffindor house.
Lucius Malfoy buys a full set of the more advanced Nimbus s for the Slytherin team as a bribe, so they would choose his son Draco as Seeker the following year.
The Firebolt later supersedes the Nimbus as the fastest and one of the most expensive racing brooms in existence. Harry receives a Firebolt model from his godfather, Sirius Black , after his Nimbus is destroyed during a Quidditch match in Prisoner of Azkaban.
Quidditch appears in five of the eight Harry Potter films. Some Quidditch subplots, such as Ron's Keeper storyline in Order of the Phoenix , were cut to save time in the films.
Quidditch is a fictional semi-contact sport in the Harry Potter novels and movies, played by both wizards and witches.
Rowling's book, "Quidditch Through the Ages," she lists the official rules for Quidditch. In the game, four balls are released onto the field.
Chasers must try and obtain a red ball called the quaffle and throw it through hoops for 10 points. The league included eight teams across the United States and Canada for its inaugural season in the summer of Taylor Crawford of the New York Titans became the first documented professional quidditch player with a salary of ten 10 USD , there are multiple reports of teams in MLQ paying their athletes.
The league expanded to 16 teams for the season with the slogan " 16for16". For its third season in , the league introduced practice squads behind the 16 teams, as well as developed a policy to allow league official teams to play unaffiliated teams.
Beginning in , the Quidditch Premier League QPL is a semi-pro league in the United Kingdom [40] that, as of , is split into four divisions and 17 teams.
Canadian Nationals is the national championship tournament for Quidditch Canada. The winning team was the Perth Phoenixes.
The same teams would make the tournament final, held at Monash University , where the Manticores would once again emerge triumphant.
Most recently in the tournament held at the same location as , the Whomping Willows of Victoria in their first year as a team took out the QUAFL cup.
There, qualifying teams from regional championships compete to see which team is the best in the US. USQ membership policy dictates that any team outside the US will be eligible to compete in this and any other USQ tournament as long as they pay the membership fees in full, but, to date, only two teams outside the US have registered as such: University of British Columbia 's A and B teams.
This policy, however, has since been discontinued. The regions within USQ are: [44]. As it was maintained by the former IQA, it was almost a purely US-based tournament, seeing little turnout from teams outside of the country.
This tournament was discontinued in when the IQA took on its new role as international sports federation, choosing instead to host then-Global Games now-World Cup as a world championship with individual teams relying on their national governing body for a culminating tournament.
In total 24 teams were registered to compete with 23 doing so. Originally devised as independently organised tournaments by Keele University Quidditch Club in March of , and the Southampton Quidditch Club the following November, the inaugural tournaments were won by Bangor Broken Broomsticks and Radcliffe Chimeras.
The tournaments were then taken over by QuidditchUK, to ensure consistency between the two, as the tournaments are now used as qualification criteria for the European Quidditch Cup.
In , the increasing number of teams led to the introduction of the Development Cup , or Dev Cup for short, where teams that did not qualify for BQC could play.
The style is a round robin tournament, leading to all teams playing eight games in the first one over two days. The first winners of this were the Liverpuddly Cannons, who won all of their games.
Other long-standing tournaments include the Annual Mercian Cup, a mercenary tournament hosted by Derby Union Quidditch, Reading University's Whiteknights Tournament, and Oxford's unique Valentines Cup, a fantasy tournament where players signed up in pairs.
Since awareness of quidditch in the UK is rising exponentially, every year new tournaments are being devised. In February it was announced that a Quidditch Premier League would be established in Fantasy tournaments are tournaments where players sign up individually and are seeded to teams at a drawing by the team captains.
Each year, there are quite a few fantasy tournaments, with greater numbers being during June—August during the off-season. Since its inception, quidditch has sought gender equality on the pitch.
A quidditch game allows each team to have a maximum of four players, not including the seeker, who identify as the same gender in active play on the field at the same time.
The gender that a player identifies with is considered to be that player's gender, which may or may not correspond with that person's sex.
This is commonly referred to as the "four maximum" rule. USQ accepts those who don't identify within the binary gender system and acknowledges that not all of our players identify as male or female.
USQ welcomes people of all identities and genders into our league. I'm trans and genderqueer, two reasons I never know which team to join There are other variants of real-life Quidditch, notably played in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Hungary amongst other places.
These variants often play with rules similar to the fictional sport within the Harry Potter universe but differ wildly from the IQA rules, including but not limited to: playing without brooms, brooms serving a different purpose, referees throwing balls to act as snitches, differing bludger and beater roles, riding bicycles instead of brooms, etc.
A version of "real life" quidditch is also portrayed in the film The Internship , however it strays wildly from quidditch's ruleset. While Middlebury College certainly began the sporting craze for quidditch, an independent form of the sport originated in the early spring of on the campus of the University of North Georgia in Dahlonega, Georgia.
This form of the game known affectionately as 'Corrigan Quidditch' after its originator, an English professor at the university who taught a Harry Potter class that term and developed the game for tournament play as an outgrowth of that course does not call for players to hold a broom between the legs.
Additionally, all of the playing apparatus is located within the playing pitch quaffle, bludgers, snitch, beater's bats, and keeper's brooms.
The two brooms are used only to defend the goals, which rise five 1. Play includes non-participating teams who stand around the pitch and take control of both 'bludgering' players as well as 'sending off' the snitch at irregular intervals during play to allow the seekers who are kept secret during play to attempt a game-winning catch.
Unlike the world-popular Middlebury version, 'Corrigan Quidditch' remains a local event still played on its originating campus.
Modified rules with less contact have been used for younger school age players. The Australian Quidditch Association has a set of rules for wheel-chair Quidditch.
It is rarely used elsewhere; however, it is starting to gain traction in several other countries. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Con artists have been charged with operating a scheme that cost users of American dating websites more than $1.5 million.
A federal grand jury in Atlanta has charged seven Nigerian nationals for their involvement in a scheme that leveraged fake online dating profiles to con victims out of $1.5 million, the Department of Justice reports. Five of the seven have been arrested, and two remain at large.
The defendants and their co-conspirators allegedly created phony dating profiles and would spend weeks building relationships with their targets before defrauding them. After establishing trust, the con artists would tell elaborate stories to convince victims to send them money; for example, they claimed to be working overseas and needed money to travel back to the United States. Their targets were often vulnerable and wealthy, and their funds were sent to bank accounts controlled by the attackers.
Defendants have been charged with 60 counts of wire fraud, money laundering, identity theft, and use of fake passports. The US Capitol Police and Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations Division are investigating the case.

Back in the late 90's, Barbara Wolvenden from Katikati visited a logging town, Chamainus on Vancouver Island in Canada. The town had turned its fortunes around with murals painted throughout the town. She found some motivated residents in Katikati and from a public meeting in 1991 a great journey began in her hometown. It is now the 25th Anniversary of Katikati Open-Air Art. In 2006 the Mural & Arts Festival, a week long event celebrating the arts in Katikati was started.
Fast forward to 2015 and we attended the last day of this year's event. Plenty on offer. A great craft market on Diggelmann Park, a nice green oasis on the Main Road. Members of Troupe Waihi entertained at the park and around town with mime and great costumes . Stilt walkers, a performer in a rubbish tin, a zombie bride and wandering magician were just a few who entertained children and adults alike. John Groves, Katikati's resident Town Cryer, was in full cry and regalia. It was only a short wander along to the Memorial Hall to see the Katikati Art Expo. I used to live near Katikati and I recognised some of the artist's names from the regular art exhibitions I attended over the years. Lots of new names as well. Rob Burrell had nice crisp edged still life paintings and some landscapes. Leigh Bassigner had some reverse glass paintings which gave quite a different effect. Tricia Hamilton had great pen and ink portraits. Sally Thrush showed mixed media with a beach theme. Carolyn Watts, Judy McLean and Val Helms had floral paintings which were very pretty and well executed. It was great so see a wall of smaller canvases and framed paintings which are great for people with smaller houses who still want original art.
In the Memorial Lounge two of the Mural competition entrants were completing their entries. The Mural competition this year had six entrants. The winner was announced on Sunday night and Shane Walker from Waihi Beach will be having his winning entry on a wall in Katikati. His 'Jurassic Paradise' mural featured a tuatara, Nikau palms and the sea. At the Talisman Centre Simone Anderson from The Incubator was painting a 60's style painting bringing together different cultures and a Chilean artist who lives in Southland had a large mural 'Kind Land'. A leather work display also featured in the same space and next door the history of the Mural Festival and Open-Air Art group was documented along with a display of entrants in a photographic contest.
Over in the Old Fire Station Thames Valley Floral Art Group had a great display. The themed display, Wahine's Kete,had flax bags as a base for their displays. Sculptured by the Sea used seaweed, shells and driftwood and in a side room Treasures of Aotearoa had some large freestanding displays with several using Nikau palm leaf pods.
The Old Fire Station which has been repurposed to be a future museum occupies a prime spot in the middle of town and is painted a bright red so you can't miss this iconic building. The back wall has a large window that overlooks the river and there is also a deck out there. Great to see a building being reused for art and cultural purposes. Located next to a playground and the Library it will be well patronised.
Cherry Court with its metal cherry tree and new paving hosted the E-Bop Ukelele band from Whakatane. This bright and talented bunch played and sung lots of old favourites and even had time for some dancing. Dodging the showers they definitely made you smile and tap your toes. A sculpture display was on in Little Blue House. Decorated bird houses were on display in Betta Electrical with a steady flow of people going into view them. .There really was a lot on offer for children at the festival including face painting and balloons. Looking over the programme the week long festival seemed to have something for everyone to see and do.

Induced operations allow to simultaneously apply a function originally working on a single cell value to all cells of a coverage. In case the range type contains more than one component, the function is applied to each cell component simultaneously. The result coverage has the same domain, but may change its base type. The idea is that for each operation available on the range type, a corresponding coverage operation is provided ("induced from the range type operation"), a concept first introduced by Ritter et al.
There is a large list of operations in WCPS, both unary and binary, similar to programming languages. "Unary" in this context means: one coverage-valued parameter; a unary operation may well have other scalar parameters, such as c+1 which increments each cell value of c by 1. The range field selector "." which has been introduced already earlier actually is an induced operation.
Note the induced cast operator, (char), which ensures the result pixels are 8-bit integers - log() results in double-precision floating-point pixels which is not what JPEG nor browsers like.
Again, we apply a cast to obtain displayable pixel types.
Later we will see how such areas can be measured.
overall, there are arithmetic, comparison, logarithmic, trigonometric, and boolean induced operations available.
operations have precedence rules like in programming languages. Parentheses serve to enforce a particular precedence.
boolean induced operations (and, or, not) play an important role in the context of conditional evaluation.

California's Snowpack Highest In 40 Years; Heavy Snow "Causes Chaos" In Oslo; Extreme Freeze Begins Across Vast Areas Of Russia/Asia; + X-Flare Watch
January 6, 2023 January 6, 2023 Cap Allon
California's Snowpack Highest In 40 Years
Snowpack across California's mountains is at the highest level in 40 years — with more heavy snow in the forecast.
Currently, the Cali pack is measuring 179% of the historical average, boosted by recent record-setting snowstorms.
Statewide snowpack is even 70% of the April 1 average, and is matching the best water year on record (1982-1983):
The snow was coming down at a rate of 7″ per hour at Palisades Tahoe on New Year's Eve and 7.5″ per hour at the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab, with the former breaking its all-time 12-hour snowfall record:
Digging out from the record-breaking snow at Palisades Tahoe.
California is on course for even more snow through the weekend.
But state water officials remain all doom and gloom –no surprises there– even though the year's first official measurements of snow and water content in Phillips, a town east of Sacramento, found levels to be well-above average for this time of year.
"While we see a terrific snowpack –and that in and of itself may be an opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief– we are by no means out of the woods when it comes to drought," said Karla Nemeth, director of the state's Department of Water Resources.
This week's expected storm system is on course to be very cold and will increase the snowpack further:
GFS Total Snowfall (inches) Jan 6 – Jan 22 [tropicaltidbits.com].
California's above-average precipitation this water year (commencing Oct 1) has seen state climatologist Mike Anderson concede that "things are looking pretty good … certainly a lot better than we have been in past years."
For reference, the past three years have been California's driest since 1986 (solar minimum of cycle 21).
Heavy Snow "Causes Chaos" In Oslo
It's been holding incredibly cold across Scandinavia over the past month+, and accompanying the chill has been heavy, disruptive snow, particularly in Norway.
Despite round-the-clock efforts of the city's plowing crews, Olso commuters were urged to work from home Thursday and Friday after heavy snow brought much of the capital's transport to a standstill.
Some 30 bus routes were cancelled Thursday morning, with those still running either delayed or rerouted due to the treacherous conditions.
"There are extremely challenging driving conditions, and it will be a challenging day today," said Øystein Dahl Johansen, press officer for Ruter, Oslo's public transportation authority.
Ruter asked people to avoid travel if possible, and also to allow plenty of time to complete their journey:
På grunn av vær og føreforhold er en rekke busslinjer innstilt i Oslo og deler av Viken i dag. Vurder om du må reise, benytt T-banen og hold deg oppdatert i Ruter-appen og på https://t.co/XeFAMRdIP0. https://t.co/FZslm3htjB pic.twitter.com/iwO5ksxZ58
— Ruter (@Ruter) January 5, 2023
"Those who have the opportunity are encouraged to have a home office, keep up to date, use the subway and consider whether you have to travel at all today," added Johansen.
The below tweet shows clearing operations Wednesday afternoon, which ultimately turned out to be something of a 'bootless errand' given the far-heavier flurries that settled overnight and into Thursday morning.
Heavy snow in southern Norway and Oslo caused travel problems yesterday.

Scandinavia's Cold December; A Busy Month For Sunspots; + If Global Warming Is Real And 'Catastrophic', Why Are The Deserts Greening?
Extreme Freeze Begins Across Vast Areas Of Russia/Asia
It is indeed warm in central Europe, alarmists, we get it. But what about the record-setting freeze to the east which is beginning to engulf the majority of transcontinental Russia and the wider Asian continent as a whole?
If a land mass of approx. 1.1 million km2 currently holding warm (central Europe) is due to 'catastrophic global warming', then what's the freezing land mass of well-over 20 million km2 to the east caused by? Also global warming, I presume…?!
That's the level of reckless ignorance we're dealing with here; poverty-inducing ignorance; suicidal compliance and blind belief.
Here's the temperature outlook for Europe:
GFS 2m Temperature Anomalies (C) Jan 7 [tropicaltidbits.com].
And here's Asia (excluding the far east) — an area at least 20x bigger:
GFS 2m Temperature Anomalies (C) Jan 16 [tropicaltidbits.com].
It's a non-contest.
Starting in Western Russia, this is intense cold even by hardy Russian standards. Lows of -30C (-22F) are forecast for Moscow by the weekend, perhaps even lower.
While headed east, Siberia, Kazakhstan (all of the 'stans, in fact), Mongolia and China (as well as Japan and the Koreas–not quite shown on this map) are on course to be invaded by fierce, record-challenging polar cold — again.
Indeed, these regions have been no stranger to anomalously-frigid conditions in recent weeks.
Northern China, for example, endured lows of -50C (-58F) back in December, with Beijing suffering its lowest reading since the 1970s.
November was also exceptionally cold in this part of the world. More than 20 provincial areas of China were put under 'extreme cold warnings', with Xinjiang issuing the country's first 'red alert' since the deadly cold wave of 2008 (solar minimum of cycle 21). The warning was warranted, too: record-breaking lows bottoming-out at -48.6C (-55.5F) hit in late-Nov, cold which froze-to-death thousands upon thousands of livestock as well as seven unfortunate construction workers near the city of Altay.
Record cold has also touched Siberia of late, as well as Mongolia and South Korea; while all-time snowfall records have been slain across Japan — to name just four other regions.
Looking again at the above GFS forecast, similarly-deadly conditions look set to return, but over an even larger region.
X-Flare Watch
Newly-emerging sunspot AR3182 poses an ongoing threat for strong solar flares.
On Tuesday, Jan 3 the very active region produced a probable X-class eruption on the farside of the Sun, followed on Friday, Jan 6 by a confirmed X1.2-flare on the Earthside:
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the eruption just before 0100 UT this morning (Jan 6):
The explosion inflated a dome of glowing-hot plasma which hovered above the blast site for more than an hour. But so far, no coronal mass ejection (CME) has been observed emerging from the area, points out Dr Tony Phillips of spaceweather.com.
A pulse of X-rays and extreme UV radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a shortwave radio blackout across South Pacific (see map below). Ham radio operators, mariners and aviators may have noticed unusual propagation effects at frequencies below 30 MHz for as much as an hour after the flaring.
Given the size and apparent complexity of AR3182, there's a good chance the explosions will continue into the days ahead — just as the region turns to face Earth.
To reiterate, a strong Earth-facing X-flare has the capacity to send our civilization back to the Stone Age.
AR3182 is worth paying attention to — let's put it that way.

There will be lots of snow in forecast for Switzerland for the next coming days. Lets hope that Davos will get at least 1 meter of this glibal warming goodness. So much that it is impossible to land with the private jets and the WEF meeting will be cancelled.
Snow in january in switzerland? Has that ever happend before in the last 100 years?
Terry Shipman
Perhaps you have forgotten that we were told 20 years ago that, "snow will become a rare and exciting event" and "children will just not know what snow is." Do try to keep up.
Don't feed the Trolls!
Davos is in the mountains. So they will get plenty of "global warming goodness" (=Diamonds term for snow)
Yes there are still plenty of people who are not "blue pilled".. yet. Time will come when the woke will wake up.
In Ireland there was a deep freeze not seen since 12 years. Here is a good video about it and what vegetables survive the deep freeze.

Perihelion occurred on January 4, 2023
The earth was 91,403,043 miles from the sun. Life experience & laws of physics say the earth will receive more solar energy due to moving closer to the sun, making December & January more of a challenge for a deeper cold.
I can hear the MSM Magpies now.
Get ready for February. The earth will be seeking a higher orbit. Could be brutal.

Lowest ever antartic ice level, no snow in the Alps. And the globe is cooling.
Good Going MM!!!
I would love an update on the earth miles from sun next
4 Jan 2024 to see if the gas giants pull us closer or farther or any effect at all.
Also our days are getting longer as well now!
It's a constant interplay of forces, random, direct or indirect.

It has been a much colder winter here in Colorado. We've finally been getting snow and I've been able to take the kids sledding for a few days in a row. They keep saying it's going to warm up and melt, but temps are staying 7-8 degrees cooler than what they are forecasting and in some cases reporting. Like California, we've had 3 years of drought due to La Nina, so this moisture is welcome. Thanks for your continued updates and coverage, Cap!

Well…when you live in a desert region…expect no water.
Well…if that X1 happens…I and mine will be fine.
Got a pre 1980 F150, animals, food and trees galore for heat.

Cap – Aren't we overdue for an update on the correlation between volcanism and GSM? I note activity in both Hawaii's Mauna Loa and Kilauea volcanoes, and on Jupiter's Io moon:
1. "Weeks after Hawaii's Mauna Loa erupted for the first time in decades, neighboring volcano Kilauea is showing activity again after a brief pause, according to officials." https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/hawaiis-kilauea-volcano-is-erupting-once-again/
2. "Jupiter's moon Io — the most geologically-active body in the solar system — had a record breaking volcanic outburst last year, a scientist has found. Physicist Dr Jeff Morgenthaler of the Planetary Science Institute (PSI) has been monitoring volcanic activity on Io every year since 2017. The Jovian moon, he said, shows some sort of outburst every year, but the largest one yet was recorded in the autumn of 2022. " https://www.bollyinside.com/news/jupiters-moon-io-is-undergoing-a-months-long-massive-volcanic-eruption

Note on extreme cold. A few years back, possibly 10, my neighbor in SW Florida from Tomahawk, Wisconsin, north of Green Bay reported to me it was so cold the main city pipes 3 feet underground froze blocking the water to his lake house.
Coming up to date now, the USA Today paper from 28 Dec 2022
reports in their State by State page that
Selma, Alabama,
Sebastian County, Arkansas,
Jackson, Mississippi,
Asheville, North Carolina,
all suffered water shutoffs or boil water notices due to two days of hard freeze or broken water pipes and meters.
Could SW Florida be next? Stay tuned!!!
Corrupt scientists will need to step up the drought fear psyop, and tie it to global warming. Probably be a blizzard of baloney incoming. Time for everyone to get their skiing and snowboarding done. Enjoy yourselves.
And why anybody here says anything about the record breaking warm temperatures in all Europe this winter?
I dont believe in everything the media says but to be fair they seem to be correct about the warming this time. All you have to do is look at the Alps or the other ski stations as they have little to no snow. How is this posible?
Wavy jet stream (linked to lower solar activity) pulls warm air up from the tropics to Europe. This site covers the topic relentlessly so look back.
L,
Go to Jwtv YouTube. He warns i his videos about another HAARP project which they announced would begin December 27th and will heat the atmosphere locally.
If you don't anything about geoengineering, go to geoengineeringwatch, to weathermodificationhistory.com, and climateviewer.com
Dec 26th Alaska HAARP pinged off an asteroid for twelve hours received in NM and Cali stations, it was covered on Spaceweather.com. No big quakes went off like when they tried the new one and an 8 mag hit,,,,whooops, sorry 'bout that tsunami. A few years ago they were going to triple triangulate HAARP the magnetic North Pole using sounding rockets spraying heavy metals to magnify the arc. Mission GCI, Grand Challenge Initiative you can find it on NASA archives. They had to abort because it was too snowy on Svalbard,,,ha ha ha. I did not want them to arc the pole. Hey, still ice free on China and Russia's new oil port in the Arctic, how many watts does it take to do that a minute? Who cares….

Duh??? You didn't carefully read the very article that you're commenting on…. the temperature forecast map show anomalous heat in Europe with anomalous cold to its west… consistent with the GSM pattern of a weak and wandering meridional jet stream.
https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/port-jervis/12771/january-weather/339741
This is a monthly prediction for temps for Port Jervis, NY, about 90 miles NW NYC. It typically runs about 10 degrees colder.
Scroll to the bottom of the page for a graph. Interesting it show a distinct cooling trend. Note here in SW Florida the two coldest days were the last two in January. The graph here prediction for P.J. turns around then to start a warming trend. In the upper left one can select more months of predictions. Compare the predictions to the average. Jan starts out way warmer than average, while when one gets to April the predictions are way colder than average!!!
Hunga Tonga Cooling?
In the article on Lightning on Accuweather today they do mention Hunga Tonga producing over 400,000 lightning strikes.
https://www.accuweather.com/en/severe-weather/the-us-has-a-new-lightning-capital-and-its-next-to-a-popular-tourist-destination/1465315
Then as usual they revert to the warming narrative, with a quote from NASA (Never A Straight Answer) "The volcanic eruption bolstered the number of global lightning strikes in 2022, and it may have impacted the weather on a global scale as it injected an influx of water vapor into the stratosphere.
NASA said that "the huge amounts of water vapor from the eruption may have a small, temporary warming effect" in parts of the globe.
The change in temperature could ultimately influence weather patterns, including the number and intensity of thunderstorms and the lightning produced, although the exact meteorological impact of the eruption is still unclear."
For Port Jervis the "small, temporary warming effect" could be the first week in January 2023, then the cool down coming as what actually happened with Mt. Pinatubo in 1991.
Same trend 'ere. It's been record low 'ere since Oct then warmer than average now and back to colder until further notice.
https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/olympia/98501/january-weather/331418
Skiing was great after Pinatubo, I had a 4X4 Jimmy with 4 studs n skied avalanche chutes filled with grade AAA powder for months. It snowed 27 feet one week at Stevens Pass and when they got it cleared and the power back on I got to the top ASAP and then 'ere comes my buddy Ron in the snowcat and he's says hop in!! Thing had the basket blade on it 20′ wide, all custom made machine, Ahh the good ol' days, can't ski no more, too old. Hust watch weather sats and snow cams and shove more logs in the woodstove.

Love your site Cap
I believe what God said in Genesis 8: 22;
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
God has never been wrong.
Delusional climate scientists have never been right.
I don't want to do a monthly subscription but I would donate at times.
Make a clickable donate Link so I can help.
Or at least publish a square cash handle so we can cash app you.


After much consideration we have decided to create a Patreon page. We are looking to get donations to help offset our hosting costs. Daniel pays around $140ish a month for the podcast out of his own pocket. These costs include the hosting of the website, the hosting of the audio files, and the monthly cost for adobe creative cloud.
The website is on a VPS server and is around $60 a month. The audio files are on a separate host that cost's about $30 a month. And finally we use adobe creative cloud to create all of the art for the show (Photoshop) and it also allows us to edit the show (Audition). Adobe CC is $50 a month.
The Disgeek Podcast is not in any kind of danger or anything. We just want to try to get donations so that Daniel can be relived of some of the expence. This show is not for profit and if we got enough donations that surpass our monthly costs, then the rest would go directly to the show. Equipment updates, etc.
Please considering making a monthly donation of $5 or more (or less). Every little bit helps.

Habib Ilahi Speaks on Likely Increase in Health Fraud Enforcement Actions in a Biden Administration in Bloomberg Law
Partner and former Department of Justice (DOJ) federal prosecutor Habib Ilahi recently spoke with Bloomberg Law about the Biden administration's nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Xavier Becerra, California's current attorney general, is known to be an aggressive litigator and is expected to boost health fraud enforcement efforts by working more closely with the DOJ.
"Having someone in charge of HHS that was formerly an AG and enforcement person, I think we're likely to see an uptick because of it," Habib said in the article.
He went on to discuss what this could mean for claims related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as the DOJ has already begun prosecuting those who have misused relief aid. With the possibility of Becerra leading the HHS, it is likely they will also push for greater enforcement. "DOJ's client is HHS and if you have the client pushing to be more aggressive, DOJ will respond," Habib said.
Habib is a trusted partner on health care and business litigation matters, counseling business entities and individuals in highly regulated industries through complex health care, procurement and other government enforcement investigations and litigation, as well as through general white collar criminal and civil defense matters.
As a former federal prosecutor with the Fraud Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Division, he worked exclusively on matters involving the False Claims Act, Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark Law. Habib has experience advising and representing pharmaceutical and life sciences companies, hospital systems, national nursing home and long term care facility chains, large and small businesses, and a variety of other types of health care providers in high-stakes investigations and litigation involving Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and other health care programs.

Car Fires: Florida Senator Nelson Wants Investigation
Home » Car Fires: Florida Senator Nelson Wants Investigation
Florida Senator Bill Nelson is calling on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to investigate car fires involving Kia and Hyundai vehicles. Nelson is the ranking member of the U.S. Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. He sent a letter to NHTSA Deputy Director Heidi King noting more than 120 complaints about the car fires.
"We have to find out what is causing these fires and what can be done to prevent them," Nelson told King. "Owners need to know if their vehicles are safe. As a result, NHTSA must quickly identify and adequately address any serious safety issues."
The Center for Auto Safety (CAS) has also called on the NHTSA to investigate. According to CAS, the car fires have injured at least six people, and there have been many consumer complaints. The Center says four car models are involved. They are the Hyundai Santa Fe SUV and Sonata sedan, and the Kia Sorento SUV Optima sedan. The model years are 2011 to 2014. Drivers reported that the car fires started without any accidents or collisions. Consumers also complained about smoke and burning smells. Some people reported finding melted wires under the hood. The CAS suggested that the problem may arise from the wiring harness rubbing against fender edges. The center is calling on Hyundai and Kia to recall the vehicles for repair.
Florida Car Fires
Orlando.com reports that there have been 23 cases of Kia and Hyundai car fires in Florida since 2014. None of the fires involved car accidents or collisions. A Brandon woman reported that her Kia Sorrento burst into flames while it was sitting in her driveway. A woman in Tampa reported a similar incident with her 2007 Kia Sedona. In the most dramatic recent Florida car fire, an Ocala woman was driving along I-4 when another driver warned her of flames coming from the 2012 Kia Sorrento she was driving. (Responding to the report, Kia said they had recalled that make and model.)
Car fires, accidents, and collisions can cause injury and death. If you need help recovering losses caused by negligence, contact the Orlando car accident attorneys at Martinez Manglardi.
