The Andy and Mellie / Fitz and Olivia Situation
Liv and Fitz are having a huge argument and Jake is outside the door listening with Secret Service. They are arguing about Jake being compromised because he likes Liv, they are pretend dating, and it could cause Jake to go against Fitz. Liv says she has goals and ambitions but she can't do anything if she's known as Fitz' whore.
14 years ago – flashback with Mellie and Fitz arguing while Andy is listening. Fitz doesn't understand why Mellie won't let him touch her, and why she avoids her father.
Carla Steele has a tip about Oxy pill abuse in Fitz' administration during his time as California governor. Andy takes the blame. He says that he hurt his back and instead of going to a doctor he decided to find his own Oxy pills.
Olivia threatens to revoke Carla's press pass and her access to the president but Carla insists that she has proof to back up the story.
Liv eliminates Leo as the source of Carla's story. She calls Jake because she suspects her father is behind it. Jake is hesitant at first but he tells her he'll find out what her father is up to.
Flashback: Mellie tried to overdoes on Oxy pills but Andy found her in time and forced her to throw up the pills. Now, Andy tells Mellie that he will take the fall because someone needs to protect her, not even her husband.
Liv meets Eli for dinner and tries to get him to confess to the Nichols drug story. He blows her off, and on her way out of the restaurant she sees Quinn spying on her. She tries to convince Quinn to come back to the office but Quinn points a gun at Liv and tells her to go away.
Jake goes to Liv's apartment and tells her that she can't ask him questions about classified information, she can't keep asking him to run errands related to her father, and she needs to stock her fridge with beer and real food.
Harrison and Abby meet with the doctor who provided the drugs 14 years ago. The doctor lets it slip that a woman wanted the drugs, not a man.
Flashback: Andy asks Mellie why she tried to commit suicide and she tells him that she was raped by Fitz' father and she doesn't know if Jerry, Jr. is Fitz' child or Big Jerry's child.
At the last second Carla's interview with the doctor gets canceled because it looks like someone paid him to tell this story about the drugs. Liv correctly guesses that Andy was planning to take the fall for Mellie. Liv tells Mellie, "Whatever is going on between you and Andy needs to stop. Trust me, I know how hard it is but we have an election to win." Mellie says that nothing has ever happened between her and Andy, and she tells Liv, "You and I are NOT the same."
After a fundraising dinner Mellie and Andy have a moment alone in a room full of the First Lady portraits. He makes a remark about Mellie not liking Olivia, although it appears Fitz likes her very much. Mellie and Andy share a passionate kiss and then she breaks away and leaves the room.
Fitz asks Liv if she has feelings for Jake. She says she doesn't know. Jake overhears this because he's watching a live feed of Fitz' office.
Adnan makes her move
Harrison and Adnan are getting dressed and she has a briefcase full of money that she wants Harrison to take care of. He refuses and then Adnan asks if Liv knows about Clearwater, or does Liv only know about the insider trading?
Harrison calls the Grant campaign and says he would like to make a donation.
James is safe- for now
James freaks out during the entire episode because he's afraid that Cyrus has learned he is Publius. David suggests sending the NSA tape to the journalist Vanessa Chandler and let her write about it. James sends her the video and now she wants to meet him so she can verify the source. James freaks out and David offers to go in his place.
Charlie was able to copy Vanessa's SIM card and he shows Cyrus the text from Publius (to Vanessa) with a meeting place and time.
At the fundraising dinner Cyrus tells James that someone is meeting Vanessa to find out who her source is. James tries to call David and warn him, but he's too late and someone has already found David and stuffed him in the truck of a car. It turns out Abby and Huck saved him!
Charlie is watching Vanessa and he sees that the source never showed up. Cyrus is frustrated.
Adnan introduces herself to Cyrus and tells him she can provide unlimited funds to help the Grant campaign. Then Adnan goes back to her hotel room and tells Mama Pope that everything is okay: "We're in."
Howdy, Hollis!
Hollis! He meets with Sally and Leo to discuss a pick for Energy Secretary. Hollis will cut Sally a check if she picks someone who will let Hollis drill in the North Pole. Meanwhile Sally is stricken by her memories of Daniel's dead body.
Hollis meets with Cyrus and says he'll be at the donor dinner, and he also asks Cyrus about the Energy secretary position.
Fitz sees Hollis at the dinner and he tells Cyrus the Grant campaign will not take any money from Hollis, and Cyrus needs to send Hollis a refund for whatever he has paid so far.
Some loose ends:
Jake receives a briefcase full of highly classified documents. He has the highest security clearance of any officer. He has briefings on all B6-13 operations worldwide, plus he has a special agent within Secret Service: Tom!
Quinn and Jake have a meeting and he encourages her to go back to Olivia. Quinn shows him pictures of Leo and Eli talking, and she tells him to find her when he needs her again.
Huck keeps bringing Olivia a cup of coffee even though he knows she doesn't drink coffee. He apologizes for what he did to Quinn and Liv says he went too far. He tells Liv that SHE went too far, because she knows what kind of person he is but she still gave Quinn to him and encouraged him to groom her.

Scandal Season 2, Episode 18 'Molly, You in Danger Girl'
Fitz holds a press conference to tell the American public that Osborne was the mole and breached confidential security information.
Huckleberry Quinn arrive at Olivia's apartment for a monthly sweep. Jake knows about the sweep, so he takes the cameras down before they arrive, and then he puts them back afterwards.
With Osborne dead, Olivia sends Molly and David home.
Cyrus talks to Mellie and Fitz about an upcoming interview. It'll be their first interview since the assassination attempt and the birth of the baby. Fitz says 'Cyrus, we've been doing this circus act for 20 years, we'll be fine."
Cyrus goes home. He's been spending the past month or so in a hotel room because James doesn't trust him anymore. Cyrus wants to come back but James says he needs time.
Susan Osborne storms into Olivia's office. She insists that someone murdered her husband, Graydon, because in the suicide note he called her 'Susan'. She says he never called her that, and he would call her Susie instead. She thinks someone forced him to write the note. Olivia takes the case.
The team concludes Osborne's death is too perfect. Olivia talks to the head of Osborne's security detail, who was with him 24/7. The guy says Osborne was a patriot with a gambling problem, and the guy at the cleaners was his bookie.
Fitz talks to Cyrus and tells him to not give up on James.
The team decides to speak with Molly again. Abby goes to Molly's home and the place is cleaned out. Huck finds out Molly just received a $100,000 payment, so the real mole paid Molly to frame Osborne. Abby runs to get David since he is no longer safe.
Liv calls Cyrus and tells him Osborne wasn't the mole. Cyrus is not interested in the news and he still believes it's Osborne. He thinks Liv is trying to sabotage the White House. Meanwhile, Jake is watching Liv make the phone call and he knows that she doesn't think Osborne was the mole.
Jake meets with Random Black Guy from last week. RBG tells Jake to take care of it. (kill her? nooo)
Olivia tells her team that the White House doesn't believe them, so they all need to gather more proof. She tells Huck to trace the money source, and David jumps in and offers to contact his buddies at Homeland Security and have Molly placed on a no-fly list. Huck finds a storage unit connected to the account that paid Molly.
Jake calls Liv and offers to come over and cook for her. He says "I'll cook for you in that kitchen that you never use." She laughs and asks how does he know that, and he says 'Just a hunch."
On TV, Mellie and Fitz are doing their live interview. They are laughing and faking their way through it. Fitz says he met her at a bar, it was love at first sight, and here they are.
Huck heads to the storage unit and makes Quinn stay in the car. Inside the unit he finds a large empty crate. Someone comes up from behind, hits Huck repeatedly and locks him in the crate.
Liv unexpectedly shows up at Jake's apartment, and he hide a bag with a gun and duct tape and covers the surveillance cameras on TV before she comes in. It's date night! He also shuts off her phone when she's not looking.
Quinn goes to the storage units to look for Huck, but there's 10 floors and she doesn't know where to start.
Liv and Jake get naked and have sex!
Molly is being detained at the Dulles airport, and Abby, David, and Harrison go to see her.
Cyrus comes back home and fights with James. Cy says 'Defiance is who I am.' and James is upset because he perjured himself and he didn't have the option to do otherwise. Cy tells him that instead of choosing justice and bringing down the White House, instead James chose love. It seems James is more angry with himself then with Cyrus.
Molly says she didn't finger Osborne as the mole because she wanted the money. She said if she didn't do it she would've ended up dead.
Fitz and Mellie have a surprisingly calm discussion about their sham of a marriage. Fitz recalls going out to dinner with Big Jerry and a client, and that client happened to bring along Mellie. Mellie came from old money and Big Jerry wanted her to marry Fitz. Fitz said 'It wasn't a blind date, it was a merger.' Mellie says every marriage is based on pretend.
David tells Abby that she must still have feelings for him. Abby says she likes sleeping with him and maaaybe she still has feelings for him. Then he asks why she can't admit to stealing the Cytron card and ruining his life. He says he can't forgive someone he can't trust.
Quinn looks at the security cameras and finds that one camera was turned in a different direction so the person who attacked Huck wouldn't be seen. Quinn finds the unit and the crate with Huck in it.
Olivia wakes up and heads into Jake's living room. She hits a button to turn on the TV and instead she finds Jake's secret surveillance camera wall. She finds out Jake has been watching her! She struggles to get away from him, and when he pushes her to the floor she hits her head and starts bleeding. On the cameras we see a hit man has arrived at Olivia's apartment. Jake takes her to the hospital.
Fitz calls Cyrus and tells him that he killed Verna. Fitz says "Would she forgive me if she knew?" I assume he's referring to Liv. Cyrus says there's some things they have to keep to themselves.
Huck is in the fetal position and shaking. David says this is worse than when Huck was water boarded. Quinn is concerned.
Molly is dead. She was hit by a car.
Quinn shows the security tapes to the rest of the team and they see a guy in a baseball cap enter and leave the storage units empty handed. They suspect he killed Wendy and Molly, and hurt Huck. The guy in the baseball cap is Charlie, who calls Cyrus about some 'new developments.'
At the hospital, Jake tells Liv to say that she doesn't know him, and that she was attacked in her apartment and Jake came in and saved her. Then Fitz walks in!! He hugs her. Jake sees this, and he puts the pieces together about Liv and Fitz.

Cyrus has Charlie, his hitman, search Jake's background. Meanwhile, Fitz wants to know who leaked the hostage information but Jake isn't offering up any names.
David Rosen goes home and his apartment is trashed. He hides while the person in his apartment walks out. He starts sleeping at Liv's office.
Quinn and Huck are trailing Osborne. He hasn't made a drop in a whole week, and they've been made. Osborne goes to Liv's apartment to confront her about being followed. Jake was watching but his feed cut off.
Client of the Week: Hollis Doyle and his ex-wife Debra. Their daughter Maybelle has been kidnapped. They watch a ransom video where Maybelle holds up a sign with banking routing information. Her captors want $20 million, but Hollis won't pay because he thinks Maybelle is scheming to get millions of dollars from him.
Huck and Quinn are studying the ransom video and Quinn picks up some clues: sun coming in from the west, possibly a warehouse turned residential home, it's near the Metro, etc.
Mellie is freaking out about Jake Ballard and Cyrus says he's looking into it but he doesn't know anything yet. He says, "Like a friend of mine likes to say, 'It's handled!'"
Jake watches the exchange between Osborne and Liv that he missed earlier. He sees her hide a notepad, and then she hides a USB drive in a vase.
At Pope Headquarters, Hollis' assistant arrives with lunch and a package. Inside the package is a severed ear. Hollis keeps eating. He doesn't believe it belongs to Maybelle until a picture shows up that confirms her ear is gone. He cries and agrees to send the ransom money.
Mellie goes to Fitz's secretary and has her un-clear his weekend schedule.
Jake calls Olivia to see if she wants to grab lunch. She says no because she's at work, and he knows it's safe to break into her apartment. He takes some files from the USB drive that she hid, and then he fixes the signal to the surveillance cameras that he planted in her apartment.
Jake goes to Fitz with information about Osborne being the mole. He says he saw Osborne threaten his source and Fitz believes him.
Cyrus meets Charlie, who tells him how Jake and Fitz know each other. Then Cyrus confronts Fitz in his office. He finds out something happened in Iran when Fitz was still in the Navy. Cyrus makes the point that they both did things that were wrong, but they did it to protect the "republic". This gets him back into the inner circle and Fitz talks to him about Osborne. Mellie is eavesdropping.
Quinn is listening to Hollis cry and talk about his love for his daughter. Maybelle calls with a location of where to meet, and Olivia, Quinn, and Huck go pick her up and take her to the hospital. Maybelle says her ex-boyfriend Justin kidnapped her and took the money.
Cyrus calls Olivia with plans to meet up for glasses of wine and she declines because she has a date with Jake. She starts thinking about Fitz and decides to cancel the date. When Jake arrives she tells him that she's not over her ex and she needs time. He kisses her.
Huck starts analyzing the ear and he notices the incision is weird. He said it's jagged, like she cut her own ear off. Harrison says Justin has been in a Thai jail and could not have kidnapped her.
Maybelle comes clean about faking her kidnapping and cutting off her ear to collect $20 million. Hollis says she can stay with the family and they'll work out their issues or she can take the money and run. She'd rather have the money and Hollis says he'll wire it to her.
Huck overhears Quinn leaving a voicemail on her father's phone. She wants to re-unite with him.
Osborne is very upset because his office and home are being searched. He visits Cyrus and insists he's not the mole.
Fitz yells at Mellie when he finds out she canceled their children's visit to the White House. She says the kids didn't want to come because Fitz has changed and he's been mean to them. Also, he reeks of liquor. She says it's not Defiance that he's truly upset about. She says 'You found your previous Olivia doesn't have the secrets of the universe tucked between her magical thighs.' She tells him that he's turned into his father, Big Jerry.
Olivia and the team find out Osborne is dead from an apparent suicide (gunshot to the head). Jake and some guy are sitting down on a bench, and the guy compliments Jake for the following: framing Osborne as the mole and making Osborne's death look like a homicide.

This week's Scandal: Sara Stanner and Murray Randall
Paparazzi arrive at home of Sara Stanner, who is accused of having an affair 15 years ago with Murray Randall. He's Fitz's Supreme Court nominee. Sara's attorney has brought in Olivia!
Olivia, Abby, and Harrison head to Sara's house. Sara confesses that everything is true- during the time Randall was her law professor, both were married and they had an affair.
Olivia sets up a press conference for Sara, and she publicly comes clean about the affair. She does this to put the heat on Randall. Cyrus sees the conference and he is livid. Olivia says Sara is her client, not Randall, and if his career tanks that is not her problem.
Cyrus leads a witch hunt against Sara, and Randall confesses the affair to Fitz. Sara almost gets fired from her CEO job for breaching her morality contract, but Harrison fights back and saves it.
Cyrus is celebrating because Randall has enough votes to secure his nomination. Mellie confronts him because she finds out Fitz is having secret, late night meetings.
It's revealed that Sara and Randall continued their affair two years after it ended. Her husband wonders if he's the biological father of their daughter, and now her job is in danger again.
Sara is depressed because she has to do a paternity test, and she said the affair wasn't the biggest mistake. The biggest mistake was letting her husband believe a lie. Olivia knows the feeling, because she let Fitz believe a lie about how he became president.
Abby and Harrison talk. She says people betray others and are betrayed themselves and then they get over it. She says she understands now that Harrison is a gladiator first and a person second. Then she gets an idea to go around Sara's morality clause. Although she has no evidence against any one on the board of directors, she pretends she does, and threatens to expose them. The board falls for the trap because they have their own indiscretions to hide, and Sara's job is saved.
Olivia hands the paternity test results to Sara and her husband, but they refuse to read them. The media has now moved onto the hostage situation…
Hostage situation solved…
Olivia's at Jake's office. She has to cancel their date, but she asks him about the Kashfari hostage situation. She hands him some information but says 'Don't tell anyone it came from me.'
Fitz is having a quiet meeting with Jake, but Jake exits through a side door when Cyrus and Mellie and the baby arrive. Cyrus goes in first and tells Fitz about the Randall scandal, and an annoyed Fitz tells him to fix it. Then Mellie tries to come in, but Fitz takes the baby and closes the door in her face.
Jake meets Olivia about the paperwork she gave him – dossiers on the people who were taken as hostages, which were prepared two weeks before they were taken. He wants to know where she got it, and is it legit. she tells him to trust her. A reporter snaps a picture of the two of them together.
Fitz finds out Olivia is representing Sara and tanking Randall's career. Randall is losing support and will decline the nomination votes. Fitz calls Olivia and says she ruined him because she didn't believe in him.
Jake goes to Fitz with intelligence of the hostages' whereabouts. A team is waiting for his go signal. Mellie sees Jake leave Fitz' office.
Fitz gives the go-ahead for the raid and the three hostages are found and rescued. Osborne (the mole) is stunned!
Jake sneaks into the home of the photographer who took pictures of him and Olivia earlier. He is masked, beats up the photographer, and deletes the images.
Jake goes to Olivia's apartment and tells her the hostages are free.
Mellie goes up to Cyrus and says "Fitz isn't cheating on me, he's cheating on you." And she hands him a photograph of Jake.
Huckleberry Quinn & Osborne…
Huck and Quinn are following Osbourne to see if they can determine when he makes his drops as a mole.
Huck teaches Quinn a lesson. She follows Osbourne to a dry cleaners, and someone assists her. She has to give up her shirt so she won't get made. Huck tells her she always needs to have the right props.
Huck takes Quinn back to the dry cleaners and she picks up Osbourne's clothing. She finds $20,000 hidden in one of the pockets of his suits. She returns the clothing by pretending that she picked up the wrong clothes by mistake.
The guy who works at the dry cleaners sends a photo of Quinn to Osbourne.

Subscribe to my Youtube channel. I have weekly reviews.
Huck gets into elevator right before it closes. He tells Hollis that a hitman has been hired to kill him. If Hollis keeps his mouth shut, Huck will protect him. But, if he talks then Huck will allow the hitman to do his job.
Fitz and Mellie are showing their new baby to the media. They laugh and smile in front of the camera, and Fitz wants to name the baby 'Wallace' but Mellie says no. When the cameras leave, Mellie says she will fight the divorce. Fitz gets in her face and says 'Do not get in my way.' YIKES!
Liv is furious with Cyrus because he hired someone to kill Hollis. Cyrus apologizes and says he let his power get to his head. Fitz walks in, and Cyrus leaves. Liv and Fitz kiss, and he asks her to wait until the divorce is finalized. She says she'll try.
Liv goes to see Verna in the hospital, and she gives an update on the Hollis situation. She says that Hollis did not pay Becky to shoot Fitz, and Verna asks 'Then who paid her?' Liv says 'You did.' Then there's flashbacks of Verna and Becky exchanging a phone and discussing the shooting. Also, Verna saw one of the make out sessions between Liv and Fitz.
Verna calls David Rosen, but he gets blocked at the hospital when he tries to see her. Turns out Fitz has arrived to see her.
Liv gets her team to find out what David Rosen knows. They also listen to conversations that were recorded at David's home via a bobble head that Huck planted in David's apartment.
Verna dies from cancer!
Mellie talks to Cyrus, says she will bury Fitz and leave him penniless, and then she'll run for office.
The team finds out the David knows about the voting machines being rigged. James, Cyrus' husband, is subpoenaed, and he confronts Cyrus about it. Either Cyrus or James will go to jail.
Cyrus gives a stirring dialogue about why he rigged the election. His ambition is to be president, but he sleeps with men and he knows he will never be elected. He says Chief of Staff is the highest he can ever go, and when he saw the election slipping away from Fitz he decided to take action.
James is upset, and he simply tells Cyrus 'I have to do what needs to be done.'
Abby confronts Liv, and asks her if she paid a woman to say David hit her. Liv says 'yes' and she reveals that Harrison set it up. Abby confronts Harrison and he told her that her relationship with David was a problem, and as gladiators they are required to fix problems. He tells her there is no room for emotion because they owe Liv and she needs them. Harrison says they need the Cytron chip, which David has.
Liv talks to Cyrus, and tells him that David has the rigging software. He says James is on his way to see a grand jury. Liv feels she has run out of time, but Cyrus says he hasn't played his last card yet. He calls his hit man and says he has a job for him.
Abby immediately runs to David's home and starts kissing on him. He leaves for work and she looks around his apartment.
Quinn tells Huck that she has $5,000 and she wants him to kill Hollis. She is still upset that Hollis helped ruin her life. Huck says if he does it, she has to leave Pope & Associates and live as Lindsay Dwyer. Otherwise, she can remain Quinn Perkins and move on with her life.
Turns out Cyrus hired a hit man to kill James, but at the last possible second Cyrus calls off the hit. Then he calls Liv and says 'Now it's over.'
James testifies and says that he did go to Defiance, Ohio but he didn't find any evidence of election rigging on voting machines. David goes OFF in court.
Abby goes back to the office and she's trailed by David. He accuses her of stealing the Cytron card, ruining his career, and lying about loving him. She denies it all and he breaks up with her and leaves. Abby pulls the Cytron card out of her shirt and gives it to Liv.
Edison knocks on Liv's door! Usually he just walks right in. He asks her if she needs a ride to Verna's funeral, and she returns the engagement ring. She tells Edison that she wants painful, complicated love (referring to Fitz) and Edison tells her that love isn't supposed to hurt.
Anyways, BYE EDISON GO AWAY AND NEVER RETURN. Good riddance.
Liv arrives at the funeral and speaks to Fitz. He says he changed his mind, and she shouldn't wait for him. She's good to screw, but not good to marry, and he's disappointed with her role in the election rigging.
How the hell does he know about it?
Verna, on her deathbed, told Fitz that she hired someone to assassinate him. She also reveals the voting machine cover-up. This conversation is shown throughout the eulogy that Fitz delivers.
She says she'll confess. Fitz tells her that he will make sure her legacy remains intact, and his legacy will be untarnished as well. He holds down her hands and then removes her oxygen mask. She dies. Damn!
After the funeral, Fitz and Mellie reunite.

Telephone Number Chase Bank
Telephone Number Chase Bank – Chase is a digital challenger bank in the United Kingdom, first launched in 2021 by JPMorgan, one of the largest banks in the United States. With over 56 million existing customers in the US, Chase aims to become a major player in the UK.
This figure is an average of the review score, taken from customer ratings and the overall rating of the bank.
While we are independent, we may receive a commission if you choose to click on certain links on our website.
Chase Customer Service: How To Get In Contact Fast
Ian is an experienced writer with 15 years of experience working in journalism and marketing. He has worked in financial institutions as well as written freelance pieces for a variety of banking and financial trading websites.
Like JPMorgan Chase, the bank is one of the "Big Four" in the United States. Chase UK digital bank is therefore seen as a middle ground between the dominance of existing UK high street banks and popular digital challenger options such as Monzo and Starling.
The bank is entirely based in the United Kingdom and does not rely on existing structures in the United States. This means that the head office is in London, while the support team is in Edinburgh. When customers need to speak to someone, it will be a UK-based agent, even in the middle of the night – support is available 24/7 and always with a real person, never a chatbot.
Chase is open to anyone in the UK who is interested in a new bank account, either as their main current account or as a secondary option. You don't need to set up any direct debit or have a certain amount of income to qualify. Chase is open to anyone who is a UK resident aged 18 or over, who qualifies as UK tax resident and has a UK smartphone and mobile number.
Digital Bank Chime Goes Dark For Millions Of Customers
Chase isn't for everyone who wants a bank they can visit in person. It is a fully digital bank, meaning there are no high street branches. All customer service is handled through the app once you're a customer – there's a phone number for customer support, but it's recommended for anyone who doesn't have the app to hand or isn't yet a customer.
One of the advantages Chase has over other digital challengers is its position as a subsidiary of JPMorgan. JPMorgan is one of the largest banks in the world, so it's unlikely that the entire company will ever fold.
There's a little extra security from this point of view compared to Starling and Monzo, which, while very secure and established now, don't have the same historical backing. So if you're someone who likes the idea of a digital bank but wants to feel more secure with a long-term institution, Chase might be ideal.
At the same time, JPMorgan has enough financial products that, if Chase turns out to be unprofitable, they may not be afraid to shut it down and focus their efforts elsewhere. It's a balance sheet, but there are enough safeguards around any of the big challenger banks that most people won't lose even if theirs closes.
How To Change Your Address With Chase Fast
Chase is a new bank that only launched later in 2021. As such, it is not accepting all new applications at the moment – it currently operates on a waiting list system.
Anyone looking to join Chase can go to the website and click the button to join the list. You'll need to enter your basic personal information – name, email address and phone number – and then when it's your turn, Chase will contact you with instructions on how to apply.
When you apply, it's nice and simple – you download the app and apply through it, and all you have to do is verify your identity through a few short steps. You will need a passport, UK driving license or EU national ID card.
If you meet the criteria, you will join successfully. Your debit card will be sent to you and you can start using the app immediately.
Chase On Developing Self Service Tools
You can use Chase's switching checking account service, automatically transferring payments and direct debits from your old bank.
Chase currently only offers checking accounts, although they have stated their intention to expand their range of products in the future.
One important thing to note is the Chase debit card – it's unlimited. This is to protect you in case you accidentally lose it.
Your card has a number, but it's not printed on the card itself—you can only see it in the Chase app. You'll still be able to make payments online, but you'll need to open the app every time you want.

Also, when you make payments using your card at the store, it's actually registered as a different number. Therefore, your card has a number in store and online. You can see which card number was used for a specific transaction in the app.
Chase customers get a few extra features with their checking account. All customers automatically have access to 1% cashback on online or in-store debit card payments, and customers can open multiple accounts for free to use in a similar way to other banks – budget or keep some money aside.
There is also a summary. Customers who choose to use this feature will have their spend rounded up to the nearest £1, with the difference automatically saved. Interest is then added to this difference saved at 5% AER, paid monthly. Once the year is up, the saved balance is then automatically transferred to one of your Chase accounts to spend.
As it stands, there is only one type of account offered by Chase. It's free and you can open multiple accounts in your main account if you want to budget with different money.
Chase International Wire Transfer, International Credit Cards, And Atm Fees Explained
The bank is new, so there's no guarantee they won't expand their options in the future to include alternative accounts, some of which may include a monthly fee.
As it is, there is no additional fee to sign up with Chase or maintain an account with them. Chase won't charge you for using your bank card abroad either, although local services may add their own fees – check them when you travel. Any international payments are made using Mastercard's current exchange rates at the time.
Chase is one of the safest options if you're taking your first steps into the world of app-only digital banking. It is backed by the experience and wealth of one of the world's largest banks – one that has deliberately taken its time with the launch of this service in the UK.
They tried to learn from other banks that failed and succeeded before them and made sure they didn't rush a product that wasn't viable.
How Do I Schedule An Appointment At Chase Bank 2022?
Chase is authorized by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It is also protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) – any deposit up to £85,000 will be protected if Chase fails, although amounts higher than this are unlikely to be covered.
Most customer service questions are handled directly through the Chase app through a combination of FAQs and live chat. The live chat is always with a real person – the bank is proud to claim that it doesn't use any chatbots, as some other services might.
Support is available 24/7, and customers can choose to email the bank or call if they prefer. The email address is ChaseSupportUK@chase.com and the telephone number is 0800 376 3333.
It's too early to accurately review how good customer service is for Chase. It's a new digital bank for the UK with its own dedicated support, and they're only letting customers join at a manageable rate. It's worth noting that independent reviews of Chase in the United States aren't great.
Bank Freezes Account For 13 Days Then Takes Away $750 Signing Bonus. What Gives?
However, they are separate entities with their own customer service departments, so it wouldn't be fair to judge the UK version of the bank on those comments.
As it is, Chase works perfectly well as a checking account if you don't need the high street banking option and are happy with its limited feature set for now.
You can use it to make and accept payments and get a debit card that works in-store and online. You can also set up direct debits and other recurring payments, but no overdraft or other credit options are available as of this writing.
It is still too early to judge Chase as a whole, because it is without a doubt that the bank will expand its services in the future. However, as an app-only digital bank for everyday banking, it's a pretty solid choice. JPMorgan's proprietary security may also reassure some customers, and it already has some interesting features.

Q: recursive lua function always returns nil alright this is probably a stupid mistake but I cant find it.
I am trying to iterate over a treesitter node to find the parent node i need.
local function getParent(node)

    local type_text = node:type()
    print(type_text, "node type")

    if type_text == "variable_declaration" then
        return 1
    end

    print("RUNNING AGAIN?")
    getParent(node:parent())
end

local outp = getParent(node_at_cursor, 0)
print(outp, "outp")

the output:
identifier node type 0
RUNNING AGAIN?
variable_list node type 1
RUNNING AGAIN?
assignment_statement node type 2
RUNNING AGAIN?
variable_declaration node type 3
nil outp

i don't understand why the return value is always nil. it clearly stops at some point, i see that from the print statements. The function enters the if block and should return 1.
thank you

A: You are not returning anything from the recursive call.
local function getParent(node)

    local type_text = node:type()
    print(type_text, "node type")

    if type_text == "variable_declaration" then

AVIALL SERVICES, INC. No. 02-1192. Supreme Court of United States. Argued October 6, 2004. Decided December 13, 2004.
The enabling clause of § 113(f)(1) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as added by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), provides that any person "may" seek contribution from any other person liable or potentially liable under CERCLA § 107(a) "during or following any civil action" under CERCLA § 106 (which authorizes the Federal Government to compel responsible parties to clean up contaminated areas, see Key Tronic Corp. v. United States, 511 U. S. 809, 814), or CERCLA § 107(a) (which empowers the Government to recover its response costs from potentially responsible persons (PRPs)). Section 113(f)(1)'s saving clause provides: "Nothing in this subsection shall diminish the right of any person to bring an action for contribution in the absence of a civil action under" § 106 or § 107. SARA also created a separate express right of contribution, § 113(f)(3)(B), for "[a] person who has resolved its liability to the United States or a State for some or all of a response action or for some or all of the costs of such action in an administrative or judicially approved settlement."
Cooper Industries, Inc., owned four Texas properties until 1981, when it sold them to Aviall Services, Inc. After operating those sites for several years, Aviall discovered that both it and Cooper had contaminated them when hazardous substances leaked into the ground and ground water. Aviall notified the State of the contamination, but neither the State nor the Federal Government took judicial or administrative measures to compel cleanup. Aviall cleaned up the properties under the State's supervision and sold them to a third party, but remains contractually responsible for $5 million or more in cleanup costs. Aviall filed this action against Cooper to recover such costs. The original complaint asserted, inter alia, a claim for cost recovery under § 107(a) and a separate claim for contribution under § 113(f)(1). Aviall later amended the complaint to, among other things, combine its two CERCLA claims into a single, joint claim that, pursuant to § 113(f)(1), sought contribution from Cooper as a PRP under § 107(a). Granting Cooper summary judgment, the District Court held that Aviall had abandoned its freestanding § 107 claim, and that contribution under
[543 U.S. 158]
§ 113(f)(1) was unavailable because Aviall had not been sued under § 106 or § 107. The Fifth Circuit ultimately reversed, holding that § 113(f)(1) allows a PRP to obtain contribution from other PRPs regardless of whether the PRP has been sued under § 106 or § 107. The court reasoned in part that "may" in § 113(f)(1)'s enabling clause did not mean "may only."
Held: A private party who has not been sued under CERCLA § 106 or § 107(a) may not obtain contribution under § 113(f)(1) from other liable parties. Pp. 165-171.
(a) Section 113(f)(1) does not authorize Aviall's suit. This Court disagrees with Aviall's argument that the word "may" in § 113(f)(1)'s enabling clause should be read permissively, such that "during or following" a civil action is one, but not the exclusive, instance in which a person may seek contribution. First, the natural meaning of "may" in this context is that it authorizes certain contribution actions that satisfy the subsequent specified condition—i. e., those that occur "during or following" a specified civil action—and no others. Second, reading § 113(f)(1) to authorize contribution actions at any time, regardless of the existence of a § 106 or § 107(a) civil action, would render entirely superfluous the section's explicit "during or following" condition, as well as § 113(f)(3)(B), which permits contribution actions after settlement. This Court is loath to allow such a reading. See, e.g., Hibbs v. Winn, 542 U. S. 88, 101. Congress would not have bothered to specify conditions under which a person may bring a contribution claim, and at the same time allowed contribution actions absent those conditions. Section 113(f)(1)'s saving clause does not change the Court's conclusion. That clause's sole function is to clarify that § 113(f)(1) does nothing to "diminish" any cause(s) of action for contribution that may exist independently of § 113(f)(1), thereby rebutting any presumption that the express right of contribution provided by the enabling clause is the exclusive contribution cause of action available to a PRP. The saving clause, however, does not itself establish a cause of action, nor expand § 113(f)(1) to authorize contribution actions not brought "during or following" a § 106 or § 107(a) civil action, nor specify what causes of action for contribution, if any, exist outside § 113(f)(1). Reading the clause to authorize § 113(f)(1) contribution actions not just "during or following" a civil action, but also before such an action, would again violate the settled rule that the Court must, if possible, construe a statute to give every word some operative effect. In light of provisions specifying two 3-year limitations periods for contribution actions beginning at the date of judgment, § 113(g)(3)(A), and at the date of settlement, § 113(g)(3)(B), the absence of any such provision for cases in which a
judgment or settlement never occurs also supports the conclusion that, to assert a contribution claim under § 113(f), a party must satisfy the conditions of either § 113(f)(1) or § 113(f)(3)(B). Given the clear meaning of CERCLA's text, there is no need to resolve the parties' dispute about CERCLA's purpose or to consult that purpose at all. See Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Services, Inc., 523 U. S. 75, 79. Because Aviall has never been subject to a civil action under § 106 or § 107(a), it has no § 113(f)(1) claim. Pp. 165-168.
(b) The Court declines to address in the first instance Aviall's claim that it may recover costs under § 107(a)(4)(B) even though it is a PRP. In view of the importance of the § 107 issue, the question whether Aviall waived a freestanding § 107 claim, and the absence of briefing and decisions by the courts below, this Court is not prepared to resolve the § 107 question solely on the basis of dictum in Key Tronic. Pp. 168-170.
(c) In addition, the Court declines to decide whether Aviall has an implied right to contribution under § 107. To the extent that Aviall chooses to frame its § 107 claim on remand as an implied right of contribution (as opposed to a right of cost recovery), the Court notes that it has visited the subject before, see, e.g., Texas Industries, Inc. v. Radcliff Materials, Inc., 451 U. S. 630, 638-647, and that, in enacting § 113(f)(1), Congress explicitly recognized a particular set (claims "during or following" the specified civil actions) of the contribution rights previously implied by courts from provisions of CERCLA and the common law, cf. Transamerica Mortgage Advisors, Inc. v. Lewis, 444 U. S. 11, 19. Pp. 170-171.

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT.
William Bradford Reynolds argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the briefs were Lisa K. Hsiao, Dale E. Stephenson, and Allen A. Kacenjar.
Jeffrey P. Minear argued the cause for the United States as amicus curiae urging reversal. With him on the brief were former Solicitor General Olson, Assistant Attorney General Sansonetti, Deputy Solicitor General Hungar, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Clark, and Paul S. Weiland.
Richard O. Faulk argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief were Cynthia J. Bishop, Jeffrey M. Gaba, Walter Dellinger, and Pamela Harris.*
JUSTICE THOMAS delivered the opinion of the Court.
Section 113(f)(1) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA)1 allows persons who have undertaken efforts to clean up properties contaminated by hazardous substances to seek contribution from other parties liable under CERCLA. Section 113(f)(1) specifies that a party may obtain contribution "during or following any civil action" under CERCLA § 106 or § 107(a). The issue we must decide is whether a
private party who has not been sued under § 106 or § 107(a) may nevertheless obtain contribution under § 113(f)(1) from other liable parties. We hold that it may not.
Under CERCLA, 94 Stat. 2767, the Federal Government may clean up a contaminated area itself, see § 104, or it may compel responsible parties to perform the cleanup, see § 106(a). See Key Tronic Corp. v. United States, 511 U. S. 809, 814 (1994). In either case, the Government may recover its response costs under § 107, 42 U. S. C. § 9607 (2000 ed. and Supp. I), the "cost recovery" section of CERCLA. Section 107(a) lists four classes of potentially responsible persons (PRPs) and provides that they "shall be liable" for, among other things, "all costs of removal or remedial action incurred by the United States Government . . . not inconsistent with the national contingency plan." § 107(a)(4)(A).2 Section 107(a) further provides that PRPs shall be liable for "any other necessary costs of response incurred by any other person consistent with the national contingency plan." § 107(a)(4)(B).
After CERCLA's enactment in 1980, litigation arose over whether § 107, in addition to allowing the Government and certain private parties to recover costs from PRPs, also allowed a PRP that had incurred response costs to recover costs from other PRPs. More specifically, the question was whether a private party that had incurred response costs, but that had...

Q: Question on representation of a Banach algebra Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $\pi$ a continuous irreducible representation of $A$ on a Banach space $X$. Suppose $\pi(a)\xi\neq0$ for some $a\in A$ and some $\xi\in X$. Let $\eta\in X$. The question is to show that there exists $b\in A$ such that $\pi(b)\pi(A)\xi=\eta$. We can of course find some linear operator $T$ on $X$ such that $T(\pi(a)\xi)=\eta$, but how do we ensure that $T$ is of the form $\pi(b)$ for some $b\in A$?

A: Consider the image of the left ideal $Aa$ under $\pi$. By irreducibility, $\pi(A) \pi(a) \xi = X$. So you're done.

Understanding Low Up Take of Mass Treatment for Intestinal Schistosomiasis Among School Children: a qualitative study in Jinja district, Uganda.
Despite attempts to control intestinal schistosomiasis through school-based mass drug administration (MDA) with praziquantel using school teachers in Uganda, less than 30% of the school children take the treatment in some areas. The aim of the study was to understand why the uptake of praziquantel among school children is low and to suggest strategies for improved uptake. This was a cross-sectional qualitative study in which 24 focus group discussions and 15 key informant interviews were conducted 2 months after MDA. The focus group discussions were held with school children in twelve primary schools and the key informant interviews were held with school teachers, sub-county health assistants and the District Vector Control Officer. The study shows that the low uptake of praziquantel among school children is a result of a complex interplay between individual, interpersonal, institutional, community and public policy factors. The individual and interpersonal factors underpinning the low uptake include inadequate information about schistosomiasis prevention, beliefs and attitudes in the community about treatment of schistosomiasis and shared concerns among children and teachers about the side-effects of praziquantel, especially when the drug is taken on an empty stomach. The institutional, policy and community factors for providing their children with food while at school, yet many parents cannot meet the cost of a daily meal due to the prevailing poverty in the area. It is concluded that strategies to improve uptake of praziquantel among school children need to be multi-pronged addressing not only the preparation and motivation of teachers and health education for children, but also the economic and political aspects of drug distribution, including the school feeding policy. include inadequate preparation and facilitation of teachers and the school feeding policy, which requires parents to take responsibility for providing their children with food while at school, yet many parents cannot meet the cost of a daily meal due to the prevailing poverty in the area. It is concluded that strategies to improve uptake of praziquantel among school children need to be multi-pronged addressing not only the preparation and motivation of teachers and health education for children, but also the economic and political aspects of drug distribution, including the school feeding policy.

Red Flag Flying
Linda Burton posting from Helena, Montana – I finally put two and two together this morning. My eyes had been burning like crazy for several days; no amount of eye drops seemed to help. Was I spending too much time staring at the computer screen? I'd had a nagging little night cough too; it seemed to begin when I opened the window for some fresh air as I went to bed. But come to think of it, I hadn't been able to see the Sleeping Giant mountain for several days; the valley was covered in haze. Maybe the air wasn't so fresh, after all. On my way to breakfast, I stopped at the front desk and asked. "Yes, there's a forest fire burning to the north," she confirmed. "All that smoke in the valley is bad for a person's allergies." Allergies, and eyes, I thought. Back in my room, I closed my window and sat down with my coffee to find what I could about forest fires in Montana. The InciWeb Incident Information System at the Montana State Travel Site quickly brought me up to date. http://visitmt.com/fire/conditions.htm
The Elbow Pass Complex Incident was likely the source of the haze I could see; four lightning ignitions in the Lewis and Clark National Forest beginning in July; 25 miles southwest of Augusta (that's north of Helena); 17,454 acres and 81 personnel involved; growth potential High; terrain difficulty Extreme. Evacuations were ordered for the Benchmark Road Corridor almost two weeks ago. The USDA Forest Service has an Active Fire Mapping site; a map of Current Large Incidents in the US allows you to click on any spot in the country for information; easy to find out about your local area. http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/index.php;
Helena's Independent Record also posts daily reports on area fires, giving not only details but a sense of the human impact, and the urgency; here's an excerpt from their June 25, 2012 issue: Authorities ordered evacuations Monday for 200 residents north of Helena and a dozen homes in a rural community southeast of Whitehall, as scorching heat and strong winds fueled wildfires across western Montana. Gawkers blocked traffic in the Helena Valley and watched helicopters dump buckets of water in the Scratchgravel Hills. Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton ordered bystanders to leave for their own safety. The Red Cross opened a shelter for evacuees at a nearby church, trailers carried horses and livestock from the evacuation area, and authorities blocked traffic from entering a major thoroughfare crossing the Helena Valley. Fire officials from the city, East Helena, and the state responded, and Dutton said he also asked for assistance from the military. Red-flag conditions caused new fires to ignite and existing fires to spread. Temperatures in the region topped 90 degrees, while the humidity was expected to drop below 15 percent, and the wind was expected to blow at 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. The National Weather Service issued the red-flag warning until 9 pm for southwestern Montana, stretching from the Idaho border to north of Helena. http://helenair.com/
Fire! Tornados and tsunamis are terrifyingly destructive, hurricanes and floods are devastating in scope, earthquakes and volcanic explosions change the landscape forever. But a windswept forest fire may be the most frightening natural disaster of all; there's the heat; there's the swiftness; there's the loss of oxygen in the very air we breathe. Alongside the Missouri River in the Helena National Forest stands a National Register of Historic Places sign remembering the deadly Mann Gulch fire. It reads: On August 5, 1949 a lightning-caused wildfire entrapped a smokejumper crew in this steep canyon. Before it was controlled it took the lives of 13 men and burned nearly 5,000 acres. The lessons learned from this tragic event continue to influence wildland fire fighting.
The fire was first reported around noon and the Forest Service dispatched smokejumpers from Missoula to the remote area; two of them were new and inexperienced. Based on the information they had on departure, they had a plan, landing about a half mile from the fire. But things quickly changed; high winds caused a blowup; the fire expanded to 3,000 acres in 10 minutes, cutting off their route and forcing them uphill on the steep canyon slopes.
Mann Gulch Investigation
With the fire less than 100 yards away, crew foreman Wagner Dodge set a small "escape" fire, creating a burned-over area that the fire would bypass. He directed the group to the area, but in the confusion they continued going up the steep incline away from the fire. The two newest, Walter Rumsey and Robert Sallee, found shelter inside a small crevice in the canyon's rock wall. These three were the only survivors; the rest of the crew, it was determined later, suffocated and fell as the fire approached. Dodge lay face down as the fire swept over him; although its force lifted him several times, it quickly passed over the already-burnt area, allowing him to breathe.
It took 450 men five more days to get the fire under control. Today twelve crosses and a Star of David mark the locations where the thirteen fell. The events at Mann Gulch had a great influence on wildfire suppression and fire research. New training techniques and safety measures were put in place by the Forest Service, in hopes that such a tragedy would never be repeated. The USFS has a history page where you may read about the Mann Gulch Fire and other fires. http://www.foresthistory.org/ASPNET/Policy/Fire/FamousFires/MannGulch.aspx
Many books have been written about the lives lost and lessons learned on that fateful day, including Norman Maclean's Young Men and Fire (University Of Chicago Press; 1992; ISBN-10: 0226500616); it took him 14 years to write and won a National Book Critics Circle Award. Maclean is a native of Missoula, Montana. I'm ordering a copy for my Kindle today.

This chili was perfect now that the weather has started cooling down in Berkeley. I made it using black beans, kidney beans, and Trader Joe's Soyrizo. The soyrizo already has a spicy kick to it, so I didn't need to spice it much on my own, but if you made this with meat (I think ground turkey would be a good substitute!) that isn't already spiced, you would want to add some extra flavor when you cook the meat. My only regret was that I bought but forgot to include sweet potato in the chili, although it was still really good without it!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the milk and cornmeal and let it sit for five minutes. Mix the flour, salt, baking soda, and sugar. After 5, combine the cornmeal mixture, with your dry ingredient mixture. Add the egg and olive oil. Combine. Pour this into a greased loaf pan or muffin pan or souffle dishes if you're like me and that's all you got. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II, also known as More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits, is the second compilation album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on November 17, 1971 by Columbia Records. With Dylan not expected to release any new material for an extended period of time, CBS Records president Clive Davis proposed issuing a double LP compilation of older material. Dylan agreed, compiling it himself and suggesting that the package include a full side of unreleased tracks from his archives. After submitting a set of excerpts from The Basement Tapes that Davis found unsatisfactory, Dylan returned to the studio in September 1971 to recut several Basement songs, with Happy Traum providing backup.

The final package included one previously uncollected single, "Watching the River Flow", an outtake from the same sessions, "When I Paint My Masterpiece"; one song from Dylan's April 12, 1963 Town Hall concert, "Tomorrow Is a Long Time", and three songs from the September sessions, "I Shall Be Released", "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere", and "Down in the Flood". The remaining tracks were drawn from existing releases.

In 2003, this album was released along with Dylan's two other Greatest Hits compilations in one four-disc set, as Greatest Hits Volumes I–III.

As with The Basement Tapes and the Beatles' 1962-1966, all the selections could fit on a single 80-minute CD, but were nevertheless released on two CDs to match the LP.

Artwork
The album package was designed to capitalize on the publicity surrounding George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh, about to be released as a film and album. The photograph on the album cover is a cropped version of a photo taken during Dylan's performance at the concert by the film's still photographer, Barry Feinstein.  The uncropped photo, which appeared as a two-page spread in the booklet included in the album Concert for Bangla Desh (sic), also contained George Harrison, who was standing to Dylan's right.  The album cover is similar to the previous volume, Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, which utilized Rowland Scherman's 1965 photo. Reaching #14 in the US and #12 in the UK, Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II is now certified five times platinum in the US, making it one of Dylan's best-selling albums.

Songs previously unreleased on LP

"In one sense, 1971 and 1972 might both be considered 'lost' years," writes Dylan biographer Clinton Heylin. Neither year would produce an album, at least not an album entirely composed of newly recorded material.

Between March 16 and 19, 1971, Dylan reserved three days at Blue Rock Studios, a small studio in New York's Greenwich Village. According to Heylin, "These sessions were produced by Leon Russell of Mad Dogs and Englishmen fame. Only two originals were recorded—'Watching the River Flow' and 'When I Paint My Masterpiece'—but both confronted the same subject matter, a continuing dearth of inspiration, in a refreshingly honest fashion."

"When I Paint My Masterpiece" was also recorded by The Band, who would release their version first on Cahoots. Dylan's recording from Blue Rock would only see release on Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II.

"Watching the River Flow" was issued as a single in June 1971, backed by "Spanish Is the Loving Tongue", which had been recorded during the New Morning sessions.

Months later, Dylan would agree to release a second "greatest hits" compilation, provided he could compile it himself, issue it as a double album, and include several older compositions which he had written but never issued himself. To accommodate this last condition, Dylan took it upon himself to hold a recording session at Columbia's Recording Studios in New York. On September 24, 1971, in Columbia's Studio B, Dylan recorded four songs with his friend, Happy Traum.

"He felt there were some songs that he had written that had become hits of sorts for other people, that he didn't actually perform himself," recalls Traum, "and he wanted to fit those on the record as well...So we just went in one afternoon and did it, it was just the two of us and the engineer, and it was very simple...we chose three [songs] on the spot and mixed them...in the space of an afternoon...Sometimes I wasn't even sure if it was a final take until we would just finish and Bob would say, 'Okay, let's go and mix it.'"

"Crash On The Levee (Down In The Flood)", "You Ain't Going Nowhere" and "I Shall Be Released" were recorded and selected for the compilation. "Only a Hobo", an early composition dating back to 1963, was also considered for inclusion but ultimately was left unreleased until 2013's The Bootleg Series Vol. 10 – Another Self Portrait (1969–1971).

A few lyrical revisions were made on "You Ain't Going Nowhere", the most notable being a reference to Roger McGuinn. "Pack up your money, pull up your tent McGuinn, you ain't going nowhere". McGuinn's band, The Byrds, had successfully recorded "You Ain't Going Nowhere" on their landmark album, Sweetheart of the Rodeo, and they even issued their recording as a single. Country musician Marty Stuart has also recorded this song. According to McGuinn in the liner notes to the 1997 reissue of Sweetheart of the Rodeo, Dylan singled him out in these lyrics for bungling Dylan's original Basement Tapes lyrics on the Byrds version of the song in which McGuinn sings "Pack up your money / Pick up your tent" instead of "Pick up your money / Pack up your tent" as Dylan had.

The previously unreleased "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" was also included, with the track taken from a recording of Dylan's April 12, 1963 Town Hall concert.

Other notable releases recorded in 1971

In addition to the material added to Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II, Dylan recorded a single, "George Jackson." An incarcerated black activist, George Jackson died on August 21, 1971. After reading a newspaper article about his death, Dylan quickly wrote an elegy for Jackson and rushed a small band into Blue Rock Studios to record it the following day. He recorded two versions, one following a simple acoustic arrangement, another with a full-band arrangement. Dylan also recorded another original composition, the country-flavored "Wallflower". Both versions of "George Jackson" were issued on the two sides of a single released on November 12, 1971. The single penetrated the Top 40, peaking at #33 on the Billboard Hot 100. The "Wallflower" recording was set aside and would later be released on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961-1991, but was recorded, with Dylan's backing vocal, for Doug Sahm's 1973 recording Doug Sahm and Band.

Dylan gave three significant concert performances in 1971, which were professionally recorded and eventually released.

The first two came on August 1, at Madison Square Garden for a benefit concert organized by George Harrison. Dylan was not scheduled to perform, but Harrison convinced him to make a surprise appearance. Dylan performed a set at both the afternoon and evening shows, backed by Harrison on lead guitar, Leon Russell on bass, and Ringo Starr on tambourine. A selection of his performances was issued on the Grammy-winning The Concert for Bangladesh, issued on December 20, 1971.

The third and final performance actually came during the first hour of 1972, when he made a surprise appearance at The Band's New Year's Eve concert at New York's Academy of Music. Dylan appeared sometime after midnight and performed four songs backed by The Band: "Crash on the Levee (Down in the Flood)", "When I Paint My Masterpiece", "Don't Ya Tell Henry" and "Like a Rolling Stone". Clinton Heylin would later describe Dylan's appearance as "a return to some approximation of peak performing powers." The concert was recorded by Phil Ramone and later mixed and compiled as The Band's Rock of Ages. However, Dylan's set would have to wait until May 2001 for official release, when it was included as part of an expanded, remastered CD edition of Rock of Ages.

Track listing
The UK edition has a different tracklist from that given below. "Positively 4th Street" replaces "She Belongs to Me" as the first track on disc two. ("Positively 4th Street" was missing from the 1967 UK Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, where "She Belongs to Me" replaced it.) On side four, "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", which had also appeared on the 1967 UK Greatest Hits album as one of the two extra tracks, is replaced by "New Morning" as track 2.

Is the Fed behind the recent rally in U.S. stocks and corporate bonds?
Last updated: January 16, 2020|By Thomas Garretson, CFA
The record run for stocks has coincided with the expansion of the Fed's balance sheet. Are risk asset rallies being fueled by the Fed or fundamentals?
For the first time since 2014, when the Fed ceased its third round of quantitative easing (QE) via asset purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities, the Fed's balance sheet is once again on the rise. Since last Sept., the Fed's balance sheet has grown by almost $400 billion, while the S&P 500 has rallied by nearly 13 percent, setting 34 new record highs in the process.
Naturally, skepticism abounds with respect to the legitimacy of this latest rally, as it has correlated nearly perfectly with the expansion of the Fed's balance sheet—while debates centered on whether the Fed's latest round of asset purchases is a form of "quantitative easing" that is boosting markets rage on.
This was a common narrative during the early part of the post-financial crisis period, as stock markets were highly correlated with the Fed's balance sheet and each round of quantitative easing and that stocks were only rising because of the actions of the Fed. The second narrative was that as soon as the Fed stepped away it would be time to get out of markets without the Fed's support. Of course, that proved not to be the case as the S&P 500 eventually carried on its merry way as economic and earnings fundamentals continued to improve.
Now, as was the case then, we would recommend that investors not take their investing cues from the Fed's balance sheet. The Fed has certainly moved to provide support for markets and the economy in recent months, but this latest balance sheet expansion is more technical in nature than it is stimulative, in our view, and there may be other factors at play.
Faulty plumbing
The Fed began buying short-dated Treasury bills last fall amid signs of stress in the repurchase, or "repo," markets, an indication of liquidity issues in the financial system. This differs notably from the QE programs of the past where the Fed was buying longer-dated securities and other assets in an effort to push yields down.
The latest balance sheet expansion is simply a reflection of—and necessitation for—the implementation of monetary policy under the Fed's new regime of excess bank reserves in order to keep short-term interest rates within the Fed's target range of 1.50 percent to 1.75 percent.
The key point is that the Fed's balance sheet will likely never return to pre-crisis levels that were below $1 trillion and that this is now the norm. We believe the Fed will continue to build a buffer of excess reserves in the financial system via Treasuries to be purchased through June of this year, and that the balance sheet will then continue to grow "organically," as it always has in line with demand for currency and other factors—taking it beyond even levels seen in the aftermath of the financial crisis.
But this week Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Robert Kaplan was the latest to weigh in on the idea that the Fed may be behind the rally in risk assets. He voiced a concern that the combination of recent rate cuts, the Fed's commitment to keep policy rates on hold, and the expansion of the balance sheet "are contributing to elevated risk-asset valuations. And I think we [the Fed] ought to be sensitive to that." To be sure, Fed Chair Jerome Powell, for his part, has been adamant that balance sheet expansion has not been adding stimulus to the economy. While minimal inflationary pressures give the Fed room to be patient, we expect that financial stability concerns will be a more frequent topic for Fed officials in the weeks and months ahead.
Beyond the Fed's balance sheet, though perhaps somewhat related to the current stance of Fed policy, is the lack of a threat posed from U.S. Treasury yields that may be helping to support risky assets, including U.S. equity and credit markets. The benchmark Treasury yield has held below two percent since last August, even as the global stock of negative-yielding debt has declined sharply amid a modestly improved global growth backdrop, breaking a relationship with global yields that had been in place for over a year.
We would focus more of our attention on this dynamic than on the progression of the Fed's balance sheet. While low Treasury yields may be a positive for stock markets and valuations, the Treasury market appears to be pricing in a somewhat more subdued economic outlook than stocks currently are, even as the global outlook is improving.

From the outside, when you see this bloke bat, you would feel he is a Sanath Jayasuriya-incarnate. The short-arm jabs, the murderous cuts and the delightful lofted flicks are reminiscent of one of world cricket's most destructive batsman but there is more to Mathurage Don Kusal Janith Perera than meets the eye.
A left-handed batsman and wicketkeeper, Kusal Perera represented the Sri Lankan U19 squad regularly since 2007. He was then called up to the side for the U19 World Cup in Malaysia the following year. An aggressive batsman, Perera made his first-class debut for the Colts Cricket Club in 2009 and scored his maiden fifty.
Also a part of the Sri Lankan A side, Perera was included in Ruhunu's Champions League T20 squad in 2011. Two years later, Kusal was called up to Sri Lanka's ODI side for their series against Australia, where he made his international debut. His reputation as a smasher early on in the innings inevitably drew comparisons with Sanath Jayasuriya's style of play and that brought Perera some rich dividends none more so than being roped in by the cash rich Indian T20 League for it's sixth season in 2013. He represented the Rajasthan franchise but managed to play only a couple of games. Sri Lanka stuck with him and he rewarded their faith late in the year 2013 with a Man of the Match performance in the second T20I against Pakistan that secured Sri Lanka's no.1 ranking in the format. A lot of expectations are on the shoulders of this youngster and it would be his loss if he doesn't make his talent count.
