# Criteria (band)

Criteria is an indie rock band from Omaha, Nebraska, formed in 2003 when ex-Cursive founding member Steve Pedersen returned to his hometown after graduating from the Duke University School of Law. He spent six months in a friend's basement where he wrote all ten songs for his new project's debut album. He recruited the help of some old friends, A.J. Mogis (of Presto! Recording Studios and Lullaby for the Working Class) on bass guitar, Aaron Druery on guitar, and Mike Sweeney of Beep Beep on drums. Their first album, En Garde, was released on his previous band's label, Initial Records.
Steve Pedersen worked as a lawyer, making it hard for the band to promote their album. Initial Records went bankrupt about a year after, leaving Criteria without a label. Saddle Creek Records took their longtime friend in and put out three releases in 2005. The first was a re-release of the LP En Garde, their new single, "Prevent the World," and their second full-length, When We Break. After signing with Saddle Creek, Pedersen quit his day job to spend full-time making music and touring.
Criteria has performed with bands such as Cursive, The Fall of Troy, Thunderbirds Are Now!, Statistics, Poison the Well, Rahim (band), and Minus the Bear.
The band performed at the Maha Musical Festival on August 17, 2013 in Omaha, Nebraska. Criteria's most recent performance took place on December 12, 2013 at the Waiting Room Lounge in Omaha, during which Pedersen mentioned the band was working on a new album.
On 2020, Criteria released they latest album to date, Years.

# Al-Aqsa Spannmål

Al Aqsa Spannmål Stiftelse ("al-Aqsa Grain Foundation"), also known in Arabic as Sanabil al-Aqsa, is the Swedish branch of the al-Aqsa Foundation, an international charitable organization with alleged ties to the militant Palestinian movement Hamas. It has its office located at Nobelvägen 79 in Malmö.
In May 2003 United States authorities urged in a letter to Swedish authorities to freeze the assets of the organisation, which they claimed was providing money for Hamas. Swedish police conveyed a preliminary investigation, but this was eventually closed due to lack of evidence. The foundation has denied having any relations to Hamas or charges of terrorism, saying that they only acts as a charity for Palestinian widows and orphaned children.
On October 24, 2006, the chairman of the foundation, Khalid al-Yousef, was arrested by the Swedish Security Service and charged with planning of terrorism (Swedish: förberedelse till terroristbrott), serious planning of public destruction (Swedish: grov förberedelse till allmänfarlig ödeläggelse) and serious offences to the Swedish law on financing (Swedish: grovt brott mot finansieringslagen). He was released from custody after three days, in lack of evidence.
The organization is currently blacklisted by FRII, Swedish Fundraising Council (Swedish: Frivilligorganisationernas Insamlingsråd).
