# Transpecos (film)

Transpecos is a 2016 American thriller film directed by Greg Kwedar, and written by Kwedar and Clint Bentley. The film stars Johnny Simmons, Gabriel Luna, and Clifton Collins Jr. as border patrol agents who encounter a Mexican drug cartel. The film premiered at South by Southwest on March 13, 2016. The film was released on September 9, 2016, in a limited release and through video on demand by Samuel Goldwyn Films.

## Plot

Three agents (Benjamin Davis, Lance Flores, and Lou Hobbs) find some drug evidence in a car at a desert checkpoint, which reveals an insidious plot in their organisation. They set out to uncover the truth by putting their life on the line.

## Cast

* Johnny Simmons as Benjamin Davis
* Gabriel Luna as Lance Flores
* Clifton Collins Jr. as Lou Hobbs
* Will Brittain as Agent Hendricks
* Alma Martinez as Marisa
* David Acord as Dispatch 700
* Oscar Avila as Mexican Leader
* Alex Knight as Man in Car

## Release

Transpecos received its world premiere at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas on March 13, 2016. Shortly after, Samuel Goldwyn Films acquired U.S distribution rights to the film, with a planned fall release.

## Reception

The film was met with positive reviews from critics. John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Artfully made but wholly accessible for a mainstream audience, it features strong performances but no names in the cast who'll draw attention on their own." DeFore went on to single out the performance of Gabriel Luna, writing: "While all three performances are on target, the film belongs to Luna, as Flores scrambles to mislead the bosses he wants to alert until he and Davis can somehow fix this botched smuggling run." Kahron Spearman of The Austin Chronicle wrote: "With nail-biting precision, Kwedar has crafted Transpecos into a diamond."

# Hawarden City Hall, Fire Station and Auditorium

The Hawarden City Hall, Fire Station and Auditorium, also known as City Auditorium and the Community Center, is a historic building located in Hawarden, Iowa, United States. The structure is an example of Progressivism, popular throughout the United States from the 1890s through the 1920s. Besides constructing this building, Progressivism was responsible for constructing hard-surfaced streets, street lighting, and installing sanitary and storm sewers in Hawarden. Sioux City architect William L. Steele was responsible for designing the building. Completed in 1918, it is a two-story brick structure. The auditorium occupies the main floor and is accessed by an exterior staircase in the front of the building. City government offices occupied the first floor, with the fire department on the far end. There are two bays for the fire equipment. City government remained in this building until 1981 when it moved to the refurbished Chicago & Northwestern Railway Passenger Depot a block to the south. The building has remained empty for the most part since then. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
# No Idea Records

No Idea Records is an American independent record label based in Gainesville, Florida which focuses on punk rock and its sub-styles and produces both vinyl records and compact discs.
No Idea Records started not as a record label, but as a zine in 1985, published independently by Var Thelin and Ken Coffelt and some friends of theirs from high school. By the seventh issue in 1989, Var was running the zine with Sarah Dyer and other contributors and collaborators. Starting with the sixth edition, the No Idea zine included 7-inch records with each issue. The first featured a local Gainesville band called Doldrums, and the second was a split 7-inch, one side of which belonged to later Bay Area legends Crimpshrine, a major influence on the musical style which dominates No Idea to the present.
Since its beginnings, No Idea has remained a foundation of the Gainesville punk scene and is considered by many to have spawned its very own style of punk, sometimes half-jokingly referred to as "beard punk" or "beardcore" due to the large proportion of members in bands having beards, or more commonly as variations of emo, post-hardcore and pop punk. The label has also worked with grindcore and metalcore bands like Left for Dead, Acrid, Bombs of Death, Crucible and The Swarm aka Knee Deep in the Dead.

# Clonazolam

Clonazolam (also known as clonitrazolam) is a drug of the triazolobenzodiazepine (TBZD) class, which are benzodiazepines (BZDs) fused with a triazole ring. Although little research has been done about its effects and metabolism, it is sold online as a designer drug.
The synthesis of clonazolam was first reported in 1971 and the drug was described as the most active compound in the series tested.
Depending on dose consumed, clonazolam may pose comparatively higher risk than other designer benzodiazepines due to its ability to produce strong sedation and amnesia at doses as small as 0.5 mg.

## Legality
### United Kingdom

In the UK, clonazolam has been classified as a Class C drug by the May 2017 amendment to The Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 along with several other designer benzodiazepine drugs.

### United States

It is a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States and is not FDA approved for human consumption. Virginia state law has declared all of the following related medications are Schedule I: clonazolam, etizolam, flualprazolam, flubromazolam, and flubromazepam. Minnesota declared clonazolam a Schedule I drug in August 2020.
On December 23, 2022, the DEA announced it had begun consideration on the matter of placing clonazolam under temporary Schedule I status. Later on July 25, 2023, the DEA published a pre-print notice that clonazolam would become temporarily scheduled as a controlled substance from 26 July 2023 to 26 July 2025.

### Australia

In Australia, clonazolam is Schedule 9 under federal law.

### Sweden

Sweden's public health agency suggested classifying clonazolam as a hazardous substance on June 1, 2015.

## Effects

Clonazolam's effects are similar to other benzodiazepines, such as anxiolysis, disinhibition, lethargy, muscle relaxation, and euphoria. While no dose of clonazolam is considered "safe" due to its lack of research and extreme potency, doses higher than 0.5 mg can cause benzodiazepine overdose in some individuals. The effects of a benzodiazepine overdose include sedation, confusion, amnesia, insufficient breathing, loss of consciousness, and death. Because dependence can occur in a short period of time, or even with a large initial dose, withdrawal symptoms (including seizures and death) may occur acutely following the period of intoxication.

# Waikaia River

The Waikaia River is a river in New Zealand, a tributary of the Mataura River. The name is probably a corruption of Wai-o-Whakaea.
The moderate sized Waikaia River rises in swamps and tussock land in the Umbrella Mountains to the east of the headwaters of the Pomahaka River and then flows south for 50 kilometres (31 mi) through rugged native bush-clad hills and then from Piano Flat through farmed areas until it joins the Mataura River at Riversdale. Much of the upper valley is in beech forest. Below Piano Flat the river meanders across a floodplain, much of it irrigated for dairy farming. Total nitrogen concentration in the lower river is 0.47g/m3.
Its tributaries include Gow Burn, Steeple Burn, Dome Burn, Winding Creek and Argyle Burn with the Dome Burn and Steeple Burn being brown trout spawning streams for the Mataura River system.
Nokomai patterned mire, in the upper catchment, is part of a relatively unmodified wetland on several square kilometres of the southern Garvie Mountains. It is possibly the largest such area in Australasia and is dominated by grasses, sedges and mosses, with shallow pools, small islands and clumps of low vegetation. The mire drains south via Dome Burn to the Waikaia and north via Roaring Lion Creek to the Nevis River. A small part of the mire is in the Nokomai catchment.
Highly regarded as a brown trout fishery the quality of the water in its lower reaches deteriorated in the early 21st century due to the conversion of much of the surrounding farmland to intensive dairy farming.
Gold was dredged from beside the river at Freshford (south of Waikaia) until 2019. An application to mine at Winding Creek (east of Waikaia and scene of an 1863 gold rush) was made in 2021. Other mines, mostly also to the east of Waikaia, have worked gold derived from Cretaceous orogenic deposits in Mesozoic Otago Schist. It was eroded out of the Old Man Range / Kopuwai, after it started rising in the Miocene period, and was then washed out to the alluvial flats. By 1909 the area had 16 dredges working.
