If you are in Europe today, you already know you have a good show coming. Spain, Iceland, Greenland have a great time. If you are in the US, if you are in New England, maybe blow the dust off your eclipse glasses. If you are near this green line or southwest of it, don't bother.
![In May 2015, Hastert was indicted on federal charges of structuring bank withdrawals to evade bank reporting requirements and making false statements to federal investigators. Federal prosecutors said that the funds withdrawn by Hastert were used as hush money to conceal his past sexual misconduct.[5][4] In October 2015, Hastert entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors. Under the agreement, Hastert pleaded guilty to the structuring charge (a felony); the charge of making false statements was dropped.[6]
In court submissions filed in April 2016, federal prosecutors alleged that Hastert had molested at least four boys as young as 14 years of age during his time as a high school wrestling coach.[3] At a sentencing hearing, Hastert admitted that he had sexually abused boys whom he had coached.[7] Referring to Hastert as a "serial child molester", a federal judge imposed a sentence of 15 months in prison, two years' supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.[4][8] Hastert was imprisoned in 2016 and was released 13 months later.[9] He became the highest-ranking elected official in U.S. history to serve a prison sentence.[4][note 1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdmsq6pke5vbkkry3tvqd2u4/bafkreidewd4lcqjhzzeuvql6gc522lpyxx3u2omy7als6iikcgogqlrdne)
![Nice (/niːs/ NEESS; French pronunciation: [nis] ) is a city located in the prefecture of the Alpes-Maritimes department in France. The Nice agglomeration extends beyond the administrative city limits, with a population of nearly one million over an area of approximately 744 km2 (287 sq mi) or about the size of Singapore. Located on the French Riviera, the southeastern coast of France on the Mediterranean Sea, at the foot of the French Alps, Nice is the second-largest French city on the Mediterranean coast and second-largest city in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region after Marseille. It is approximately 13 kilometres (8 mi) from the principality of Monaco and 30 kilometres (19 mi) from the French–Italian border. Nice's airport serves as a gateway to the region.
The city is nicknamed Nice la Belle (Nissa La Bella in Niçard), meaning 'Nice the Beautiful', which is also the title of the unofficial anthem of Nice, written by Menica Rondelly. The Nice agglomeration contains Terra Amata, an archaeological site which displays evidence of early use of fire 380,000 years ago. Around 350 BC, Greeks of Marseille founded a permanent settlement and called it Nikaia, after Nike, the goddess of victory. The town has changed hands many times. Its strategic location and port significantly contributed to its maritime strength. From 1388, it was a dominion of Savoy, then became part of the French First Republic between 1792 and 1815, when it was returned to the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, the legal predecessor of the Kingdom of Italy, until its annexation by France in 1860.
In 1900, the Tramway de Nice electrified its horse-drawn streetcars and spread its network to the entire département from Menton to Cagnes-sur-Mer. By the 1930s more bus connections were added in the area.[citation needed] In the 1930s, Nice hosted international car racing in the Formula Libre (predecessor to Formula One) on the so-called Circuit Nice.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdmsq6pke5vbkkry3tvqd2u4/bafkreicdt7lyajj6k72ok45ki7kmhjto5qghgqwiiie6uvc4hcnb2eg6ry)
