Understanding instabilities and turbulence in plasmas is one of the key challenges across a wide range of plasma research fields, including nuclear fusion, astrophysics and laser-plasma physics. In plasmas, slight disturbances can grow due to instabilities, and energy is transferred between structures of various sizes due to turbulence. These phenomena give rise to structures ranging from very small to large, which significantly influence the overall motion and energy flow of the plasma.

DOJ wants California to set aside 20,000 voters' ballots. The state is refusing.
The Justice Department is pressing California election officials to set aside mail-in ballots from people it believes are noncitizens. It is warning that officials who count those ballots could face criminal charges. Federal prosecutors sent letters Friday to county election offices across the state, giving them 48 hours to work with federal agencies to determine who on a government list is a citizen. NBC News reported that the letters went to 57 of Californias 58 counties. Los Angeles County received a similar letter last week. The secretary of state and Los Angeles County have refused the demand, and other counties are weighing their response. The fight is now before a federal appeals court, 10 days before Election Day. Heres what to know. What is the Justice Department asking for? The department wants counties to segregate not cancel the mail-in ballots of people on its list until their citizenship can be confirmed, according to a letter to San Bernardino County obtained by NBC News . That countys list included 1,133 names. It also asked counties to send identifying information about the voters on the list, including Social Security numbers and copies of their registrations, the AP reported . Any election official who knowingly processes the ballot of a noncitizen is opening themselves to legal jeopardy, said Bill Essayli, the first assistant U.S. attorney in Los Angeles, who signed the letters. Why does the administration say its necessary? The Department of Homeland Security compared Californias voter registration files with federal immigration records. It flagged more than 20,000 people it says are likely noncitizens who are registered to vote, according to a Justice Department release . Under California law, every registered voter is mailed a ballot. Only U.S. citizens may vote in federal and state elections. Even one noncitizen vote cancels out the ballot of an American citizen, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in the release. Essayli says the request is limited. Were not asking California to take any drastic steps other than to sequester the ballots from the suspected noncitizens, he told Fox News . Why is California refusing? State officials say the federal data hasnt been verified, and that acting on it could keep eligible citizens from voting. In court filings, lawyers for the state argued that counties lack both the authority and the federal records needed to check citizenship. They also said the demand could delay certification of the results. Some ballots cant be pulled back at all. Once a mail-in ballots signature is verified, it is separated from its envelope and counted with the others. Hundreds of thousands of ballots have already been processed, according to court filings. Dean Logan, the countys top election official, said the letters carry a posture of intimidation and threats just before the election, CNN reported . Sen. Alex Padilla, a Democrat of California, said the administration has not provided any evidence for their claims of massive voter fraud. How common is noncitizen voting? Cases do happen, but reviews have found very few. In 2024, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, audited the states voter rolls and found 20 noncitizens among about 8.2 million registered voters. Federal claims have not always held up. In August, DHS told Nevada officials it had flagged about 15,900 possible noncitizen registrants. It later said that number was preliminary and that it had confirmed only 185 through manual review, CNN reported . In September, Nevada officials said their own review found that all 185 were U.S. citizens. DHS disputes that finding. What does this mean for California voters? For now, nothing has changed. No court has ordered California to set aside any ballots, and counties are still processing the ballots voters return. Voters can check the status of their ballot through the secretary of states ballot tracking tool . What happens next? The Justice Department sued California and Los Angeles County on Oct. 15 to block the ballots from being counted. U.S. District Judge David Carter scheduled a hearing for Tuesday. The department asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to step in sooner, and the appeals court ordered California to respond by noon Saturday. This article originally appeared on Yahoo News at https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/article/doj-tells-california-counties-to-set-aside-ballots-from-suspected-noncitizens-heres-what-to-know-181004310.html

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 24 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Saturday lashed out at National Conference (NC) President Farooq Abdullah after he credited Pakistan for saving Kashmiris, calling it reason and asking him to apologise for his controversial remarks. The Congress also called the remark wrong, asserting that Kashmir is secure because it is an integral part of India. Earlier on Saturday, the former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah said that the intentions of Indian State towards Kashmiris are not ight, and it is due to Pakistan's diplomatic effort that their voice are being heard globally. Responding to Farooq Abdullah's remark, BJP national spokesperson RP Singh said: Farooq Abdullah should also look across the border and see the plight of Kashmiris on the other side. Kashmir is doing well here because Article 370 was abrogated and it was fully integrated with India, due to which crores of tourists visit Kashmir, leading to economic development of the region. BJP leader Ravinder Raina called Farooq Abdullah's remarks highly condemnable and irresponsible. Speaking to IANS, Raina said: Farooq Abdullah has committed treason against the nation. The Pakistan that provided weaponsbombs, guns, pistols, bullets, and grenadesto terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir, the Pakistan that infiltrated terrorists into Kashmir and killed thousands and lakhs of innocent people here, how can that country be a well-wisher to Kashmiris? He (Farooq Abdullah) should apologise to the nation or else legal action should be taken against him, he added. VHP national spokesperson Vinod Bansal told IANS that the former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister keeps changing his stance from time to time. He (Farooq Abdullah) lives in India but sings praises of Pakistan, he told IANS. In a post on social media platform X, Bansal also asked the NC patron to apologise for his Pakistan-loving, anti-national statement, urging for legal action if he fails to do so. He added that food from India and praise for sinful Pakistan will no longer be tolerated. Echoing that the statement is clearly an act of treason against India, the VHP Chief said: It should also be examined whether Farooq Abdullah, through such statements, is attempting to mislead Kashmiri youth and is part of an anti-India conspiracy aimed at fulfilling the opposition leaders' dream of regime change. Meanwhile, Congress leader Udit Raj also criticised Farooq Abdullah, saying: This is very wrong. Pakistan, on the contrary, promotes terrorist activities in our country... Is Pakistan taking care of Kashmir? He should not have said this, it reflects ungratefulness. While acknowledging Farooq Abdullah's political experience, Congress leader Choudhary Lal Singh said: His remarks may be rooted in his own personal experience, however, I do not agree with what he has said. What standing does Pakistan have to 'save' Jammu & Kashmir? If Jammu and Kashmir is secure today, it is because it is an integral part of India. Congress leader Husain Dalwai echoed that while the National Conference Chief is a respected leader, it was wrong for him to make such a statement. Praising Pakistan is absolutely wrong. It was because of the partition of India and Pakistan that Muslims were left facing a complicated situation. We are still bearing the consequences of the mistakes made by Jinnah, he told IANS. Congress MP Imran Masood also said he does not agree with the former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister's statement. Why Farooq Abdullah made this statement is something I cannot understand. Because Sheikh Abdullah's stance was always aligned with India...we do not condemn or support any external interference in our internal matters, he told IANS.

2nd T20I: Could Easily Have Been 2-0 Up, Rues NZ Skipper Santner After India's Heist At Hagley Oval
Nitish Kumar Reddy: New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner said his side could easily have been 2-0 up in the five-match T20I series had they held their catches, after India pulled off a dramatic late heist to win the second game at Hagley Oval here on Saturday. India chased down 181 with a ball to spare and won by four wickets, with Tilak Varma (51 not out) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (26 not out) adding 69 runs in the unbroken partnership for the seventh wicket after the visitors had slumped to 70/5. Santner, who returned impressive figures of 4-21, said the margins between the two sides had been razor-thin across both games, with dropped catches and misfields proving decisive. It's a tough catching ground, and the wind kind of swells a little bit. I think if you look at the skills of both teams, it's been very close, and it's come down to some small moments in the field, especially us kind of at the back end of that chase tonight. I think we're in a very good position. A couple of drop catches, misfields, and it's that difference between winning and losing in the game. So I think it, from a skills perspective, has been playing some very good cricket; it's just some small moments where if you seize those moments, we could have easily been, I guess, 2-0 up as what India are again, Santner said in the post-match press conference. The left-arm spinner felt 180 was a competitive total on a surface that behaved differently from the one dished out for the series opener. I think it was a little bit different. I think there was a bit more tennis ball bounce. I think probably 180 was still a pretty good score. But we knew we had to take wickets at the start, and we managed to do that and squeeze through the middle, which was nice. I think we obviously lost the game due to a couple of good partnerships by India in the end. Santner was full of praise for Bevon Jacobs (58) and Glenn Phillips (70), whose 116-run partnership rescued New Zealand after they lost three early wickets in the power-play. I think it was a very good partnership in the context of the game. Three down reasonably early and they gave themselves a chance to reassess the conditions, and it's one of those wickets where it was probably tough to start. But once you're in, you gave yourself a chance and could cash in a little bit later on, and that's what they did and got us up to a pretty good score. So, BJ is just going to keep getting better and better with more opportunities, and we've seen Glenn do that for a long time and take more responsibility at four, and he's shown that he's a pretty good number four batter. On his own four-wicket haul, Santner said the tacky surface offered him more grip than in the first game. Don't get four for that often. So with the wicket, we talked about it being a little bit tacky, and the late nature of the games, there was a little bit of hold, which was nice. So I feel like you could mix it up a bit more, and be a little bit more aggressive, whereas the other night it was skidding on and felt like you were just trying to get out of the overall. So it was nice. I think (Michael) Bracewell's been bowling very well in the powerplay, and then the way he's been operating through the middle, and we've been after squeeze for a little bit of pressure. So I guess the size of the ground helps as well, and a couple of them were caught on the fence today; it's probably six at some other ground, so we have to wait and see. Santner, who has played alongside Tilak at Mumbai Indians, lauded India's finishers in him, Reddy and Naman Dhir, who hit a 17-ball 31. I think when he (Varma) first started, he was batting at three and it's a slightly different role, so the middle order role was very dependent on how you operate in the middle and then the death phase. I guess I've seen it for a couple of years now in Mumbai - he's very good. Same with Naman Dhir - I think the way he's come in, and just they look so free from the start. I think Tilak took his time a little bit today, but managed the chase very well with Reddy at the end. So I think, if you can finish off games as a finisher, you're doing a pretty good job. So I think it was a great knock from those last three, especially tonight. The skipper expected dew to remain a factor in the toss throughout the series, with the chasing side winning both games so far. I think there was less dew tonight than there was in the first game because the wind was up a little bit. But I think it's gonna be a factor throughout the series. I guess with it being so late - we usually start at seven o'clock- so by the second half, the ball seems to skid a little bit better. So it's definitely a factor at the toss. I think both teams looked at it to bowl first. I guess two chases; even though tonight was a tight chase, it's still two wins for the chasing team. New Zealand also have fitness concerns, with pacers Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson both leaving the field during the match. Matt experienced a tight calf. So we didn't want to risk it with the amount of cricket we've got coming up as well. I think Lockie went off as well. So just a couple of precautionary injuries; we'll see how they pull up tomorrow morning. I think with the quick turnaround of this series going to the one-dayers and into the Test as well, we don't want to risk too much, but hope that they pull up fine because both are good bowlers, added Santner. Looking ahead to the third T20I in Wellington on Tuesday, Santner said his side would not dwell on the errors. Again, we'll reflect on tonight. There was a lot of good stuff again, as there was in the first game, and there's, I guess, some small stuff that's kinda - I wouldn't say it let us down, but it can change games quickly. So I guess no balls always hurt you, drop catches always hurt you, and probably the same on both sides. Hagley can be a very tough catching ground. We're going to Wellington, where the wind swirls a lot as well, so it can be another tough catching ground. But I think it's about not dwelling on that too much. The skills are good; the plans were good tonight. Looking ahead to the third T20I in Wellington on Tuesday, Santner said his side would not dwell on the errors. Again, we'll reflect on tonight.
