Texas Woman Convicted of COVID-19 Relief Fraud | OPA | Department of Justice

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Lola Shalewa Barbara Kasali, 24, of Houston, submitted two fraudulent loan applications to two different lenders on behalf of her companies, Lola’s Level and Charm Hair Extensions. Through these loan applications, Kasali sought over $3.8 million in PPP loan funds. Kasali falsely represented the number of employees and payroll expenses in each of the PPP loan applications. To support these applications, Kasali also submitted fraudulent tax records. Kasali ultimately received over $1.9 million in PPP loan funds. The Justice Department, along with its law enforcement partners, seized the funds that Kasali fraudulently obtained.

Kasali was convicted of two counts of making false statements to a financial institution and two counts of bank fraud. She is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 25, 2022, and faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison for each count of conviction. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

US Supreme Court justice refers to ‘Jewish-Palestinian’ conflict – The Jerusalem Post

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett referred to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the “Jewish-Palestinian conflict” during a hearing on a case concerning public funding of religious schools on Wednesday.
“How would you even know if a school taught all religions are bigoted and biased or Catholics are bigoted or, you know, we take a position on the Jewish-Palestinian conflict because of our position on, you know, Jews, right?” said Barrett in a question directed at Maine Chief Deputy Attorney-General.

Does this path have a good heart?

It is alarming but unsurprising to hear of yet another type of fossil fuel pipeline project.

Far too late, many people are finally being confronted with the consequences of decades of excess fossil fuel burning. And of course, they are clamoring for the problem to be taken care of immediately.

There are no quick fixes.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is being promoted as part of a solution to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. My last blog post was an introduction to CSS.
https://landbackfriends.com/2021/12/04/carbon-capture-in-iowa/

Carbon capture involves several complex processes. The infographic Carbon Capture 101 below from the Department of Energy attempts to explain these processes.

There are many reasons to reject the idea of carbon capture and storage.

But how you look at CSS comes from what you believe about your relationship with Mother Earth. Carbon capture and storage is an attempt to placate us, so we won’t…

Suonano ancora oggi in tutto il mondo i suoi brani, e indipendentemente se con i Beatles o da solista è per l’orecchio di tutti impossibile non riconoscere le sue note e la voce. Al 41esimo anniversario dalla morte prematura, colgo l’occasione per parlare di chi è stato John Lennon, e di quanto ha contribuito sia nel mondo della musica che in altro.

Abbiamo già parlato dei Beatles, della loro storia e della loro musica in uno dei primiarticoli del blog.


Nacque il 9 ottobre del 1940 in una Liverpool povera e colpita dalla guerra, figlio di un padre assente e madre che l’abbandonò all’età di sei anni. Dopo la separazione dei genitori John divenne conteso fra gli adulti della…

Salata od rotkvica – Radish salad

Vivaldi translation of introduction: This simple salad is a healing treasure with ground radishes and light cucumber mixed with aromatic herbs, olive oil and lemon juice. Add a little sea salt at the end and you will get a wonderful dish worthy of every lunch. Be sure to use the freshest, most beautiful radishes you can find, to make this dish really blue – and don’t forget to save the greens for use in juice, soups and other dishes.

Myrela

Ovo jednostavna salata ljekovito je blago sa zemljanim rotkvicama i laganim krastavcem pomiješanim sa aromatičnim travama, maslinovim uljem i limunovim sokom. Daodajte na kraju malo morske soli i dobićete divno jelo dostojno svakog ručka. Obavezno koristite najsvježije, najljepše rotkvice koje možete naći, kako bi ovo jelo zaista sinulo – i ne zaboravite da sačuvate zeleniš za upotrebu u soku, supi i drugim jelima.

  • 2 šolje rotkvica isječenih na kriške
  • 2 šolje krastavaca isječenih na kriške
  • 2 kašike sjeckanog estragona
  • 4 kašike maslinovog ulja
  • četvrtina limuna, iscjeđenog
  • osmina kašičice morske soli

Stavite kriške krastavca i rotkvica u činiju i izmješajte sa ostalim sastojcima. Pustite da se salata ohladi u frižideru 15 minuta prije nego što ćete jesti.
