Join us at the 2019 Harlan Days Festival for Hot Air Balloon Tether rides. A Hot Air Balloon tether is when the balloon is tied to the ground, lifts off the ground, and hovers 35-50 feet above the ground for several minutes, but does not launch and fly away. Like all Hot Air Balloon flights, this event is weather permitting.
One balloon will be doing tethered rides. The balloon is equipped with an easy access door. No climbing required to enter the balloon. The balloon is not FAA certified to carry wheelchairs.
The balloon can accommodate 4-6 people at one time (depending on combined weight maximum of 850 lb).
Tickets are sold in half hour chunks to cut down on waiting in line for a ride.
No refunds unless the rides are canceled due to poor weather. There will be no refunds if the ride start is delayed but rides still occur. Harlan Days Festival reserves the right to cancel the tether and issue full refunds if not enough tickets are sold for the event.
Every passenger will have to sign a waiver.
Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent / legal guardian and they must sign a release for the child. There is no minimum height requirement, however the balloon basket is 46 inches tall. Adults are NOT permitted to hold a child in their arms during the tethered ride.

British musician pays visit to Cold Lake
Kerr says not touring Canada is one of the secrets to his success.

Martin Kerr is an expert in holding an audience's attention after spending years as a busker.
"You learn how to engage people, so they'll stop and listen for a few minutes," said Kerr, a folk musician, in a recent phone interview with the Cold Lake Sun.
British musician pays visit to Cold Lake Back to video
He performed at the Lakeland Inn on Jan. 26 as part of the Kinosoo Performing Arts series.
It was Kerr's second time in Cold Lake, and he was excited to be back, promising an interactive show that would make people laugh and cry.
"I try to do a show that people will remember," he said.
A Canadian Idol alumnus, Kerr, who lives in Edmonton, didn't really find a loyal audience in Alberta until it was announced he was the opening act for Sarah McLachlan when she performed in Edmonton on Canada Day, 2017. He also picked up fans performing at the Edmonton Folk Festival that same summer.
Kerr generally likes to stay local with his shows.
He says not touring Canada is one of the secrets to his success.
Travelling to cities where no one knows his name and playing to very small audiences isn't worth the expense, said Kerr, who was born in Oakham, England. Kerr moved to Edmonton for love, since it was his wife's hometown.
"I find Albertans are generally kind folks who love to support their local musicians," said Kerr about his new home province that has a population of over four million people.
As the father of three children, Kerr keeps his work trips short, so he can get back to his family quickly.
"They're only young once," he said.
Kerr is currently working on an EP and released a single from it called "You're Amazing."
"It's about what my wife means to me," he said.
The song has received some radio play and he was invited to sing it at a surprise marriage proposal.
"That was pretty cool," he said.
His next single to be released is called "Enemy," which is about how divided society has become.
"The lyrics are literally 'I'm not your enemy,'" said Kerr, who doesn't normally write political songs, but has been disturbed by how toxic the political environment has gotten in recent years.

Book Review – Tiny Little Thing by Beatriz Williams
by Michelle | Jul 2, 2015 | Books Read in 2015, W Author | 10 comments
Title: Tiny Little Thing
Author: Beatriz Williams
Origins: G. P. Putnam's Sons
"In the summer of 1966, Christina Hardcastle—"Tiny" to her illustrious family—stands on the brink of a breathtaking future. Of the three Schuyler sisters, she's the one raised to marry a man destined for leadership, and with her elegance and impeccable style, she presents a perfect camera-ready image in the dawning age of television politics. Together she and her husband, Frank, make the ultimate power couple: intelligent, rich, and impossibly attractive. It seems nothing can stop Frank from rising to national office, and he's got his sights set on a senate seat in November.
But as the season gets underway at the family estate on Cape Cod, three unwelcome visitors appear in Tiny's perfect life: her volatile sister Pepper, an envelope containing incriminating photograph, and the intimidating figure of Frank's cousin Vietnam-war hero Caspian, who knows more about Tiny's rich inner life than anyone else. As she struggles to maintain the glossy façade on which the Hardcastle family's ambitions are built, Tiny begins to suspect that Frank is hiding a reckless entanglement of his own…one that may unravel both her own ordered life and her husband's promising career."
Thoughts on the Novel: While not the strongest of her novels so far, Tiny Little Thing will not disappoint Ms. Williams' fans. She brings the same gorgeous prose and impeccable descriptions to Tiny's story as she has done with everything else. What is lacking, however, is a hard-luck story with a fascinating historical backdrop. Tiny's story is interesting, but it is not necessarily relatable. There is a notable absence of danger and too much attention devoted to the privileges afforded the Hardcastle and Schuyler families to take the story to the next level.
In many ways, Tiny's story is reminiscent of Rose in the movie Titanic; in fact, there is one scene in particular which will have readers immediately recalling the movie. Like Rose, Tiny is feisty but has spent her entire life obeying and following the careful path set in place for her by her mother. She is a wealthy girl who chafes at the gilded cage that surrounds her. She knows she has no right to complain but cannot help but feeling trapped by the family ambition and her belief in her husband's potential career. It is only through interactions with her sister and the return of the mysterious Caspian when she finally gives herself permission to start showing her true personality and fighting for her freedom. However, unlike when Rose, the only thing at stake here is Tiny's happiness and Frank's political career.
Still, even without the lack of life-or-death battle, Tiny Little Thing contains plenty of drama. While one may not be able to relate to a life of untold wealth and privilege, one can relate to Tiny's need for happiness, her longing for a simpler life, and a love that is pure, honest and whole. There is also Mad Men-era sexism and bias displayed so despicably by the Hardcastle men that will make a modern-day reader's blood boil. Tiny's story is emotionally powerful, which is the novel's biggest strength.
Given the fact that Ms. Williams will soon be releasing the final novel in the Schuyler sisters' series and certain events that occur at the end of this one, readers may feel like Tiny Little Thing is a filler story meant to tide over readers until that last novel. It is simply lacking the mystery and intrigue from Vivian's story (The Secret Life of Violet Grant) and from the synopsis of Pepper's, Along the Infinite Sea. Good but not great given Ms. Williams' previous novels, readers will still enjoy Tiny Little Thing but wish for more depth and action.
BOTTOM LINE: Good but missing the historical drama and danger of WWII that made THE SECRET LIFE OF VIOLET GRANT so amazing.

Bummer that this one fell short. I don't know if you've watched House of Cards, but from your starting description, this REALLY reminded me of it! I don't know that the book as a whole would, of course, but funny regardless.
Michelle	on August 2, 2015 at 4:52 PM
I haven't watched "House of Cards", but now you have made me curious. I want to see what you mean!
Ti	on July 6, 2015 at 11:03 AM
Sometimes, drama is good. Sounds like this book has plenty of it.
Michelle	on July 6, 2015 at 3:32 PM
Drama but of the soap opera kind. It is not what I expect from her novels and is not something I typically like to read. I just DNF'd a book because it was following in the same vein.
susan	on July 5, 2015 at 5:42 PM
Your review is very astute, Michelle. I just read and reviewed this novel, too. I thought it was an okay beach read but I wasn't overly taken by it. I wondered if it was typical of her other books or less so? Or if it was just me. ha.
This is not a typical novel of hers at all. Her others have had an element of danger that is thoroughly missing from this one. I hope you do try one of her other novels. They are so much better.
Suzi Q, The Book Dame	on July 2, 2015 at 7:09 PM
Interesting point that there are similarities between Tiny and Rose. I actually didn't think about it, but it's true. It is good to know that this isn't the strongest of BW's work, since this was the only book of hers that I have read and I found it to be okay, but not so good that I would have searched out something else by the author. I may have to try something else by her.
Oh, Suzi. You must read The Secret Life of Violet Grant. That one is SO good. So much better than this one.
I wouldn't have picked up on the Tiny/Rose comparison either had it not been for the fact that I recently showed that movie to my daughter after our trip to the Titanic museum. The movie was so fresh, that I actually laughed out loud at some of the scenes in the book.

As tomorrow is the second Sunday of the month the French Animal Sports Association - of which Miggles is the Vice President (Honoraire) - will be holding their quarterly Snail-Baiting meet.
"Snail-baiting is a form of French animal sport in which snails are baited with cockerels. A baiting session typically results in the death of the snail, and possibly serious injuries to the cockerels.
The snail is a usually quiet and docile creature in its own domain; however, when cornered or when a threat is perceived it can possess impressive courage. Weighing up to forty-five grams when fully grown, the snail has an extraordinarily dangerous bite, which it is willing to use when threatened. In addition, snails have extremely powerful antenna, used for digging in hard earth, which are more than capable of injuring a cockerel. A formidable adversary for any cockerel, the snail was a sought-after victim for the fighting pit."

In jail with bars between us.

Everything you can and can't do in lockdown from June 1
The main change to the rules means small social gatherings are now permitted, with groups of up to six people permitted to meet outside and in private gardens
Alex GreenReporter
Politics, environment, farming and more in your new free Western Morning News newsletter - direct to your inbox every day
At yesterday's Downing Street briefing, Boris Johnson announced an update to the lockdown restrictions - which allow people to meet up to six people outside in gardens.
It was also announced that schools will begin a phased reopening from June 1, with Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 pupils heading back to schools from Monday.
The main change to the rules means small social gatherings are now permitted, with groups of up to six people permitted to meet outside and in private gardens.
The Prime Minister said yesterday that all five of his tests to move into the next phase had been met, allowing schools to begin reopening and greater contact to be permitted from Monday.
Mr Johnson on Thursday confirmed people will be able to see "both parents at once, or both grandparents at once", in what he said will be a "long-awaited and joyful moment" for many.
These are amongst a flurry of announcements from government that have brought changes to how the country's lockdown will look in the coming weeks.
We've put together a round-up of all the information on what is allowed under the current lockdown restrictions - and what is not.
What's changed since the last lockdown review?
Meeting family and friends

Boris Johnson announced earlier this month that people would be able to meet one member of another household, while adhering to social distancing, in an announcement that allowed people to spend more time outdoors and travel to beauty spots for exercise and leisure.
In yesterday's announcement, the Prime Minister announced that groups of up to six people could meet outdoors and in gardens, so long as those from different households remain two metres apart at all times, and only enter households to get to a garden.
Chris Witty also clarified that if people needed to use the toilet while in someone's garden then all surfaces should be wiped down afterwards.
The change to the lockdown restrictions will allow people to reunite with family members and friends that they likely haven't seen since the beginning of lockdown in March.
Mr Johnson told the daily press conference that people should "try to avoid seeing too many households in quick succession so we can avoid the risk of quick transmission from lots of different families and continue to control the virus".
"It remains the case that people should not be inside the homes of their friends and families, unless it is to access the garden.
"I should add that, at this stage, I am afraid that those who have been asked to shield themselves should continue to do so."
Chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty said it was "really important" that people stayed two metres apart when meeting outside – saying that they would not be counted as a contact, and therefore would not need to self-isolate, if someone they met at a distance then developed coronavirus.
What's not allowed when visiting family and friends?
Staying overnight at someone else's home will still not be allowed anywhere in the UK, while even going indoors for any other reason than to access a garden or use the bathroom is prohibited.
While people are allowed to meet up and have barbecues, current advice still urges people to not come into contact with people from other households, and it is still as important as ever to wash your hands wherever possible.
Government advice on social distancing has remained the same throughout the lockdown, and that is to stay at least two metres (six feet) away from people not in your household.
Schools will start to reopen
Some of England's primary schools will widen the number of pupils they are taking.
The plan will see classrooms reopen in stages, beginning with reception, Year 1 and Year 6.
Boris Johnson said on Monday that government intends for some schools in England to start to reopen from June 1, and this plan was confirmed yesterday by the Prime Minister.
Johnson also said at Thursday's briefing that secondary pupils in years 10 and 12 from June 15 will begin to be provided "some face to face contact time."
What will the reopening of schools look like?
Class numbers will be limited and protective measures will remain in place, but some lockdown restrictions will be modified conditionally.
From June 1, primary schools in England may be able to welcome back children in key transition years – nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6.
Secondary schools, sixth forms and colleges will also work towards the possibility of providing some face-to-face contact with young people in Year 10 and Year 12 to help them prepare for exams next year.
According to the Department for Education, "progress will be monitored every day".
Guidance to the sector, published on May 11, set out a range of protective measures to ensure education settings remain safe places, including:
Reducing the size of classes and keeping children in small groups without mixing with others
Staggered break and lunch times, as well as drop offs and pick ups
Increasing the frequency of cleaning, reducing the used of shared items and utilising outdoor space

Non essential shops will start to reopen
Primark is one of the main stores at the Drake Circus Shopping Centre
The Prime Minister announced earlier this week that all non-essential shops in England can reopen from June 15 after he shuttered them with the lockdown announcement that came on March 23.
Stores reopening in June will have to make major changes in order to allow safe shopping, and government ministers have stressed that the date could change if reductions in coronavirus infections fail to meet expectations.
Some shops with branches around Devon and Cornwall such as Primark and Halfords have already issued updates to customers about the changes being made to allow customers to follow social distancing guidelines.
Here is the full list that can be open from June 15, although some are already allowed to be open:
– Food retailers
– Chemists
– Hardware/homeware stores
– Fashion shops
– Charity shops
– Betting shops and arcades
– Tailors, dress fitters and fashion designers
– Car dealerships
– Auction houses
– Antique stores
– Retail art galleries
– Photography studios
– Gift shops and retail spaces in theatres, museums, libraries, heritage sites and tourism sites
– Mobile phone stores
What won't be allowed while shopping?
One of the most widely-discussed bans has been that on changing rooms. Shoppers will no longer be able to try on clothes in stores before buying them over fears of contamination.
Anyone wanting to try on shoes will need to wear disposable socks to do so, the Manchester Evening News reports.
And the government guidance says customers will be encouraged to shop alone where possible, unless they need specific assistance.
Shoe giant Kurt Geiger has said that it will put footwear aside for 24 hours after a customer has tried anything on, while Waterstones says it will quarantine books for 72 hours after people have touched them.
Shops and shopping centres will also have to limit the number of people inside them at any one time.
The government has released a list of rules and guidelines that firms and shoppers must follow to keep everyone safe:
Define the number of customers that can reasonably follow two-metre social distancing within the store and any outdoor selling areas. Take into account total floor space as well as likely pinch points and busy areas.
Limit the number of customers in the store, overall and in any particular congestion areas, for example doorways between outside and inside space
Encourage customers to use hand sanitiser or hand washing facilities as they enter the premises to reduce the risk of transmission by touching products while browsing.
Encourage customers to avoid handling products whilst browsing, if at all possible.
Suspend or reducing customer services that cannot be undertaken without contravening social distancing guidelines. This may include re-thinking how assistance is provided, for example, using fixed pairs of colleagues to lift heavy objects rather than a single colleague lifting with a customer
Encourage customers to shop alone where possible, unless they need specific assistance
Remind customers who are accompanied by children that they are responsible for supervising them at all times and should follow social distancing guidelines
Look at how people walk through the shop and how you could adjust this to reduce congestion and contact between customers, for example, queue management or one-way flow, where possible
Ensure any changes to entries, exit and queue management take into account reasonable adjustments for those who need them, including disabled shoppers
Work within your local area to provide additional parking or facilities such as bike racks, where possible, to help customers avoid using public transport
Use outside premises for queuing where available and safe, for example some car parks
Manage outside queues to ensure they do not cause a risk to individuals or other businesses, for example by introducing queuing systems, using barriers and having staff direct customers
Shopping centres should take responsibility for regulating the number of customers in the centre and the queuing process in communal areas on behalf of their retail
Clearly designate positions from which colleagues can provide advice or assistance to customers whilst maintaining social distance
Work with neighbouring businesses and local authorities to consider how to spread the number of people arriving throughout the day for example by staggering opening hours; this will help reduce demand on public transport at key times and avoid overcrowding
Continue to keep customer restaurants and cafes closed until further notice, apart from when offering hot or cold food to be consumed off the premises
Things that didn't change from yesterday's announcement

It is still the case that there are no mileage limits set for how far you are allowed to drive to visit family and friends in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, however the general advice is to remain in your local area as much as possible.
It was announced at yesterday's briefing that extremely vulnerable people shielding from coronavirus will have to remain indoors despite the lockdown being eased but hopes were offered that they may be granted freedom "relatively soon".
Boris Johnson announced that small social gatherings will be permitted outside in England from Monday, as long as people from separate households remain at a distance of two metres.
But there was no easing the measures for the more than one million people deemed "extremely clinically vulnerable" to COVID-19 because of their health conditions.
Chief medical officer for England Professor Chris Whitty offered the prospect at the Downing Street briefing on Thursday that infection levels may be low enough for them to leave home shortly.
"And we will get to a stage, we hope relatively soon, where the absolute risk of people has gone down to a low enough level it will be possible in stages for people to leave shielding," he said.
Prof Whitty stressed that it was number of infections that need to come down rather than the "R" rate of transmission in order to reduce the risk of infection to the vulnerable.
Advice on visiting beauty spots

While travelling to beauty spots such as beaches is allowed under the current lockdown restrictions, the RNLI have issued stark warnings to those wishing to visit the coastline and enter the ocean, and current advice is still to to remain in your local area as much as possible.
CornwallLive reported earlier this week that the RNLI is reportedly asking the Government to restrict access to the coast until it can reinstate lifeguard cover on beaches, following two deaths in North Cornwall on Bank Holiday Monday.
However, the charity has vowed to reinstate cover on at least 15 beaches - including eight in Cornwall.
And its chief executive has said that COVID-19 coronavirus lockdown restriction had left it unable to train the 1,600 lifeguards it needs to patrol 240 beaches around the UK.
It comes after teenage girl and a man died - and a third person, a man, is critically ill in hospital - after being pulled from the sea in "multiple incidents on the Cornish coastline" on Monday afternoon.
Cafes, restaurants, and pubs

Businesses, such as pubs, hairdressers and cinemas will have to wait until July before they can reopen, the Government has previously said.
Restaurants, pubs and cafes were all forced to shut their doors to customers as part of the lockdown announced on March 23, but some remained able to serve takeaway food to customers in line with social distancing measures and deliver takeaways.
Last week, Environment Secretary George Eustice, who is also the Member of Parliament for Camborne and Redruth in Cornwall, said he wanted pubs to "tentatively start gradually opening" in July with social distancing in place.
Meanwhile, scientists have warned some social distancing rules may have to remain until there's a vaccine, making much of pub life impossible.
A dentist approaches a patient
Dental practices in England will be allowed to reopen in less than two weeks' time, the chief dental officer has said.
In a letter to all dental practices in England, Sara Hurley said on Thursday that face-to-face care in practices can resume from June 8.
However, she added practices will need to have the necessary infection prevention and control requirements in place, as well as personal protective equipment (PPE).
Individual practices will decide when to open and will risk manage the steps to resume full service, Ms Hurley added.
In the joint letter with Matt Neligan, NHS England director of primary care and system transformation, the chief dental officer wrote: "We support the full resumption of routine dental care, in a way that is safe, operationally deliverable and allows dental practices flexibility to do what is best for patients and their teams."
The chief dental officer said there would be a phased return to pre-pandemic patient numbers due to infection control requirements and patient behaviour.

Despite many people in England in dire need of a trim, hairdressers and barbers were not included in the government's announcement of shops that are allowed to reopen from June 15.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has refused to commit to allowing hair salons to open on June 15 amid growing calls from hairdressers that they are ready to pick up the scissors.
Mr Hancock said he would "love" to be able to reopen hairdressers at the earliest opportunity, but admitted that the close proximity the profession requires is "a challenge" for social distancing rules.
He also praised his wife for doing "a fantastic job" in cutting his hair during the lockdown after salons were forced to close on March 24.
Mr Hancock said the challenge of having to be in close contact with people in order to cut their hair is "not an insurmountable challenge" if protective equipment were to be put in place.
Speaking on ITV's This Morning about the possibility of opening salons in the near future, he said: "I would love to be able to do that and the way to do that is to ensure that, when it is safe to do so, hairdressing is brought back in a way that itself is safe. So, protective equipment.
"We are working on what it would look like to have the protective equipment, exactly as you say, in place.
"Hairdressing, like so many industries, we're doing everything we can to support them through what is inevitably an incredibly difficult time."


POLICE fear summer holiday hi-jinx could end in disaster if youngsters turn the railways around Wilmslow into an adventure playground.
A 50 yard stretch of security fencing behind Colshaw Estate has recently been repaired prior to school holiday time but Wilmslow community action team are concerned children will try and tear it down again.
They are calling on parents to talk to their children about the dangers of playing on rail tracks.
PC Pete Horrocks said: "Residents, especially in and around Blackden Walk, which backs onto the railway track, should talk to their children about the dangers of playing down there - It is a very deadly playground indeed."
Police are especially concerned about a weak link in the security fencing surrounding the busy West Coast Mainline, where London bound hi-speed trains frequently pass.
One section of the fence is made from chain link material, which people have successfully torn down in the past.
PC Horrocks wants it updated to the more durable mesh fencing that surrounds the rest of the track in the area, to prevent children from getting near the tracks.
A Network Rail spokesman said: "The railway is not a playground and fencing is put up by Network Rail to ensure that people do not trespass and ultimately endanger their lives.
"We work closely with the British Transport Police to warn people of the dangers of playing near railway lines and we are currently running a campaign called No Messin! to educate young people about the consequences of going near the tracks."
Network Rail has adopted the No Messin' approach as an alternative to previous initiatives, where the emphasis has been on telling youngsters what they can't do or shouldn't be doing.
A spokesman said: "This just tempts them even further to commit acts of trespass and vandalism.
"Our thinking with this campaign is to provide these particular young people with taster sessions linked to activities they may well find appealing. The message being that there are other ways to enjoy themselves."


At least on paper, it seems to be the most tight and interesting meeting of the first session tomorrow. I would not say that Davis performance this season can be considered close to expectations, as by reaching only two minor ranking events semifinals, he was kept outside the top 16 and the difference will be felt on Wednesday afternoon.
Kendo is not the player he once was, first obvious sign could be seen in the close match he had in the first round against the only professional women player from the main tour, 10-8 with Reanne Evans. He played slightly better in the second round, 10-6 with Lee Walker, but to stand a chance against Mark Davis, the Irish player should show no sign of weakness and raise his break building.

A: jq -r '.windows[]|.buffers[]|.file' Session.sublime_session

This would use the JSON parser jq to parse out all the file nodes from each buffer of each window recorded in the Sublime Text 3 sessions file.
To get the file info together with the first integer of the selection bit, you will have to look elsewhere in the data:
jq -r '.windows[]|.groups[].sheets[]| "\(.file):\(.settings.selection[0][0])"' Session.sublime_session

Note that the file field is taken from a totally different place in the document compared to the first command.
On a small example file I played around with, this may generate
/Users/kk/hello:18

as output.
(tested on a session file on macOS where I worked on a file called hello in my home directory)
Unfortunately, I have not found any documentation on the schema used for these JSON files, so the parsing here is totally ad-hoc.

After report on sexual abuse by priests, Pennsylvania lawmakers may lift statute of limitations
By Jason Hanna, CNN
Updated 9:08 AM EDT, Thu August 16, 2018
(CNN) After a grand jury report detailed allegations of sex abuse by Catholic priests in Pennsylvania, state lawmakers are poised to vote on whether to eliminate the criminal statute of limitations -- as well as lengthen windows for lawsuits.
But what that would mean for victims who've already missed their windows -- including many of the victims mentioned in the report -- depends on several factors.
Report details sexual abuse by more than 300 priests in Pennsylvania's Catholic Church
Pennsylvania law currently allows child victims of sexual crimes to pursue criminal charges against their abusers until age 50, and they can file civil lawsuits until age 30.
A bill before the state House would eliminate the time limit for prosecutions and move the lawsuit ceiling to age 50. A state lawmaker who survived abuse also wants to give temporary leeway to victims whose window to sue already has shut.
Similar bills have languished in the legislature in recent years, but House Majority Leader Dave Reed, a Republican, said Tuesday that he expects to schedule this one for a vote this fall.
"The actions revealed through the grand jury report are heinous and shameful," Reed said in a statement on his website. "With the timeliness of this report and its findings, the statute of limitations bill ... is primed for discussion in the House."
The bill, SB 261, has rested in the House since last year, when the Senate passed it unanimously.
Grand jury: Lift prosecution limits
In Tuesday's report, the grand jury said internal documents from six Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania showed that more than 300 "predator priests" were credibly accused of sexually abusing more than 1,000 child victims since 1947.
The grand jury recommended eliminating the statute of limitations for prosecutions, noting that "no piece of legislation can predict the point at which a victim of child sex abuse will find the strength to come forward."
READ THE GRAND JURY REPORT
But people for whom a statute of limitations has expired before any new law extends the window are generally stuck -- especially for prosecutions.
Priest abuse victims detail lifetime of trauma and broken trust
US Supreme Court precedent prohibits extending criminal liability after a case's statute limit expires, said Marci Hamilton, a University of Pennsylvania professor and CEO of Child USA, a think tank focused on ending child abuse and neglect.
So, even if the Pennsylvania bill passed, a child victim age 51 or older when it became law would not be able to seek criminal charges.
Complicating matters is that the current limits are relatively recent. Pennsylvania's limits for child sex abuse cases used to be five years for prosecution and two years for civil suits.
They increased in the 1990s, then again the 2000s, eventually settling to the current ages of 50 and 30.
Even those parameters prevent many of the hundreds of victims detailed in Tuesday's grand jury report, which dates to the 1940s, from suing, the grand jury wrote.
Lawmaker who survived abuse: Lift civil limits retroactively
Enter Pennsylvania state Rep. Mark Rozzi, who has publicly shared his account of being abused by a priest when he was an eighth-grader.
State Rep. Mark Rozzi.
Rozzi, a Democrat, wants to amend the Senate bill to provide a two-year window -- starting whenever the law takes effect -- during which any victim of child sex abuse could sue their abuser, no matter how long ago the crime happened.
A retroactive window for civil lawsuits "is the only avenue for these victims who are in the grand jury report" to get justice, Rozzi told CNN on Wednesday.
Rozzi's personal story put him at the fore of a push for a similar bill two years ago.
Speaking on the House floor in 2016, Rozzi gave an emotional account of his rape by a priest in a rectory shower in Pennsylvania in the 1980s, when he was 13.
Tuesday's grand jury report alleges that priest, the Rev. Edward Graff, "raped scores of children" in about 45 years of ministry. Graff died in a Texas jail in November 2002 while awaiting trial on suspicion of sexually abusing a boy, the report says.
Priest abuse survivor slams church's lack of 'morality'
The Republican-controlled Pennsylvania House passed the statute of limitations reform measure after Rozzi spoke that day in 2016, but it was defeated in the Senate.
Rozzi, who was first elected in 2012, first spoke out about his story in 2009, after a second childhood friend of his killed himself. Both friends had also been abused by Graff, Rozzi says.
He believes he has support in the House for his measure this year. Both chambers are controlled by Republicans.
"Expect that sometime in September, we will move a bill out of the House that has a retroactive window" for civil lawsuits, he said.
Grand jury also recommends retroactive civil window
In Tuesday's report, the grand jury also recommended a two-year civil lawsuit window to allow child victims whose statutes of limitations have expired to sue -- the kind of measure Rozzi proposes.
Critics slam Vatican's 'disturbing' silence on abuse cover-ups
A spokeswoman for the state's Catholic dioceses declined to comment Wednesday on SB261 and Rozzi's planned amendment.
The "time to discuss legislation will come later," Amy Hill told CNN, adding that the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference -- the dioceses' public affairs arm -- was devastated and outraged by the revelations of sexual abuse committed in the church.
"Our focus now is on improving ways that survivors and their families can recover as they continue through a difficult healing process," Hill said.
Abuse victim: Bill could bring justice
Shaun Dougherty, a New York restaurateur who says his childhood sex abuse by a priest in Pennsylvania was detailed in a 2016 grand jury report on the Altoona-Johnstown diocese, told CNN's "New Day" the bill in the House "could bring justice."
"The retroactive (civil lawsuit) window portion of the bill ... would give somebody like me an opportunity, who timed out at 15 years old," Dougherty said Wednesday.
CNN's Carolyn Sung contributed to this report.

Name : Ganga Ram Agrawal
Born on Apr 13, 1851 at Mangtanwala, Nankana Sahib, Punjab province, British India [now in Pakistan]
Died on Jul 10, 1927 at London, England
Ganga Ram was born on April 13, 1851 at Mangtanwala now in Pakistan. After a brilliant academic career Ganga Ram entered service as an Assistant Engineer in the Public Works Department, Punjab.
The planning and processes introduced by him for the construction of municipal services, structure and institutions were the first of its kind in India and became a model for generations to come.
The most significant contribution of Ganga Ram was in the field of agriculture. To him, agriculture was the foundation of the development of all planning and prosperity in India. His efforts, inspiration and engineering skill largely contributed to make dry tracts of Punjab smile and become green which has made that state the granary of India with the highest per capita income.
Ganga Ram was a great social reformer much ahead of his times. He was against dowry and child marriage and advocated widow re-marriage. He established institutions for vocational education and education of the adults. Almost his entire earnings were put in a charitable trust named after him and were utilised to achieve a welfare society.
To perpetuate his memory the Ganga Ram Trust, despite having been deprived of almost its entire reserve of funds and property due to partition of the country, is running an up-to-date hospital in New Delhi.
Ganga Ram passed away on July 10, 1927 in England while functioning as an active member of the Royal Commission on Agriculture.

This is one of the best and healthiest snacks on the market today This is one of the best and healthiest snacks on the market today. We travel a lot, and it's not always easy being a vegan and gluten-, caffeine-, and sugar-free. Most snacks have chocolate and/or sugar. I searched far and wide before finding this ideal product to have in my backpack when I travel. No more starving when airlines serve less than desirable meals or needing something in between meals!
Expensive, But Kinda Worth It It's not easy to find good Keto snacks that satisfy that "crunch" craving. This Elan Granola is fantastic. Serving size is 1/3 cup (4g net carbs and only 1g of added sugar) and with some unsweetened nut milk, it comes together like a nice crunchy "cereal". There's a scoop in the bag which is a perfect measured serving, which I really appreciate. The only thing that's not amazing about this product, is the price. It really adds up.

The retirement beard is going strong just in time for the Holiday season
A few weeks ago, we were shocked (and honestly, impressed) when we first spotted David Letterman's "retirement beard." But having sported a clean shave for decades, we understood why the former late night host would want to ease up on the face maintenance a little. Or, you know, a lot. Yesterday, Letterman was spotted moderating a panel with Spike Jonze and Bennett Miller at his alma mater, Ball State University. And he did it sporting what can only be described a Santa-level white beard. Which raises the question: Is this less a post-retirement act of rebellion, or a real-life Tim-Allen-in-The-Santa-Clause situation?
Then again, unlike Saint Nick's red velvet duds, Letterman was looking just as sharp as he did on The Late Show in a classic tailored look anchored by a navy blue suit. While it's a classic color and cut that might sound run-of-the-mill, the aforementioned beard—plus a pair of light brown tassel loafers—made the look un-boring. As for those rule-breaking white socks, we wouldn't recommend the look for everyone, but Letterman's "who cares" attitude (see: giant white beard) helps pull it off. Or maybe we're just saying that so he keeps up on the "nice" list this year.

Tarrant Taxpayers Misled on $250 Million Ballot Proposition
The ballot language claims the $250 million loan is for "flood control," but that's a lie.
By Ross Kecseg|April 25, 2018
Tarrant County property taxpayers will be asked on May 5 to loan $250 million to Fort Worth's controversial land redevelopment project. But that's not what voters will be told at the ballot box.
Instead, the ballot language says the $250 million loan will be used for "flood control and drainage facilities." It's simply not true.
The loan to the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) will be spent by its Trinity River Vision (TRV) authority to turn downtown Fort Worth into an island, a project that's been limping along for 12 years with little to show for it.
The TRWD did not have the legal authority to use eminent domain for economic redevelopment, or to spend tax dollars on related projects. But all that changed when State Rep. Charlie Geren (R–Fort Worth) pushed House Bill 2639 through the Texas Legislature in 2005, which granted broad new powers to the TRWD.
The master plan was to redirect the Trinity River and create "Panther Island" downtown. In the meantime, the TRV is building three bridges over dry land for $70 million. Due to design and construct ability issues that TRV officials were warned about, they're more than 3 years behind schedule.
So far, an ice rink, a concert venue, and a drive-in movie theater have been built. So much for "flood control." And now, the TRV wants to build Gateway Park, which will contain hiking trails, a skate and dog park, basketball and tennis courts, disc golf, and other amenities. They also plan to plant 80,000 new trees. Again, for "flood control."
According to a records request by Texas Scorecard, more than 260 landowners had their properties condemned under the TRV's new eminent domain powers afforded by Geren, and were forced to relocate their businesses. But that was years ago. And according to the TRWD, they aren't finished yet. How much was spent on any of these projects? Nobody seems to know.
More than $443 million in local, state, and federal funding has been dedicated to the TRV. But after 12 years of delays, cost overruns, and inadequate financing, it remains unclear how any of the taxpayer funds have been spent.
None of the TRV's parent governments – Tarrant County, the City of Fort Worth, or the Tarrant Regional Water District – have ever called for a forensic audit to find out where the money went. But the TRWD wants $250 million more. As a side note, the TRV does not publish its financial data online. The website link for "Financials & Annual Reports" does not work. Apparently, $443 million doesn't warrant transparency.*
After Congress killed earmarks, it's been difficult for Congresswoman Kay Granger (R–TX) to get federal pork approved for what many consider the largest, most expensive boondoggle in Texas.
But conveniently, Granger's son, J.D. Granger, has been paid a six-figure salary for 12 years to run the TRV. In 2016, Granger's salary was $192,000, making him one of the highest-paid government employees in North Texas.
The TRV has ballooned in cost. Back in 2005, taxpayers were told it would cost $360 million. Around the same time, a $43 million plan for actual flood control – which would have raised the existing levees along the Trinity River – was turned down in favor of the "Panther Island" concept, which will destroy them.
Less than a year later, the TRV's cost increased to $435 million. By 2009, the price tag soared to $909 million. And if Tarrant County voters approve $250 million in new debt via Prop A, the cost will soar to $1.17 billion. Unsurprisingly, the Fort Worth Star Telegram's editorial board supports the $250 million loan, but called their endorsement "lukewarm." Their "cautious" recommendation reads:
"We know plans change. Prices go up. But the district must know the spiraling costs are trying everyone's patience…[The TRWD] must be upfront with taxpayers each step of the way."
But taxpayers have never been told the truth. And TRWD's Prop A on May 5 is yet another bait and switch. Tarrant County, the City of Fort Worth, and the TRWD have refused to disclose where the TRV has spent hundreds of millions in taxpayer money. No governing body has ever called for a forensic audit to find out, and they won't unless Tarrant County taxpayers demand it.
If voters approve Prop A's $250 million loan, there is no requirement that a forensic audit ever be performed to ensure that taxpayers know where those funds flow.
*UPDATED 4/26/18: After Texas Scorecard published this article, the TRVA fixed their website and made their financial statements available online. Unfortunately, the published documents do not detail specific expenditures by project, or by line item, nor do they provide detailed budgets for any fiscal year since the agency's inception.
We do know where some of the money went. A gigantic model detailing the TRV project – which was the size of a football field – was built in Vancouver, Canada, for $1.7 million. It was destroyed because it was too big to transport back to Fort Worth. To learn more about the model, and the expense, watch the TRV's promotional video.

Innovage Holding Corp Deadline Alert
INNV
Newsfile Corp.
Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses Exceeding $50,000 In Innovage To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 29, 2021) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Innovage Holding Corp ("Innovage" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: INNV) and reminds investors of the December 13, 2021 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
If you suffered losses exceeding $50,000 investing in Innovage stock or options between March 2021 and October 14, 2021 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310). You may also click here for additional information: www.faruqilaw.com/INNV.
There is no cost or obligation to you.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading minority and Woman-owned national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia.
As detailed below, the lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) that certain of InnovAge's facilities failed to provide covered services, provide accessible and adequate services, manage participants' medical situations, and oversee use of specialists; (2) that, as a result, the Company was reasonably likely to be subject to regulatory scrutiny, including by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; (3) that, as a result, there as a significant risk that CMS would suspend new enrollments pending an audit of the Company's services; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
In March 2021, InnovAge completed its IPO, selling approximately 18,995,901 shares of common stock at a price of $21.00 per share.
On September 21, 2021, after the market closed, InnovAge revealed that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") had "determined to freeze new enrollments at [the Company's] Sacramento center based on deficiencies detected in [a recent] audit." It stated that these "deficiencies relate to failures to provide covered services, provide accessible and adequate services, manage participants' medical situations, and oversee use of specialists, among others."
On this news, the Company's stock price fell $2.90 per share, or 25%, to close at $8.75 per share on September 23, 2021, on unusually heavy trading volume.
By the commencement of this action, the Company's stock was trading as low as $6.61 per share, a nearly 69% decline from the $21 per share IPO price.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Innovage's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Q: Loading dynamic image in webpack I am using Angular with Webpack (with loaders like file-loader, url-loader etc.)
Now, I want to load image which is being served through http.
The build was successful, when I used require('./imgs/profile.png')
But when I used tried say E.g. require('http://myserver.com/images/profile.png') the build failed.
Now, the problem is my images are not there in local environment instead they are there on some 3rd party server say e.g. AWS S3.
How to achieve this? Below is my webpack.config.js
'use strict';

var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
var path = require('path');

var config = {
  entry: './src/myapp.js',

  output: {
    path: './dist/',
    filename: 'myapp.min.js'
  },

  plugins: [
    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
      template: './src/index.html'
    })
  ],

  module: {
    loaders: [{
      test: /\.js?$/,
      exclude: /node_modules/,
      loader: 'babel',
      query: {
        presets: ['es2015']
      }
    }, {
      test: /\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|svg)$/i,
      loader: 'file'
    }, {
      test: /\.(html)$/i,
      loader: 'file?name=[name].[ext]',
      include: [
        path.resolve(__dirname, 'src', 'app')
      ]
    }, {
      test: /\.(ttf|eot|svg)(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
      loader: "file"
    }, {
      test: /\.less$/,
      loader: 'style-loader!css-loader!less-loader'
    }, {
      test: /\.css$/,
      loader: 'style-loader!css-loader'
    }, {
      test: /\.woff(2)?(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
      loader: "url-loader?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff"
    }]
  }
};

module.exports = config;

A: As of now, instead of
require('http://myserver.com/images/profile.png')

I assigned image path as string to $scope
$scope.imagePath = "http://myserver.com/images/profile.png";

and in template
<img ng-src={{imagePath}} alt="image" />

and it worked for me.

	Abstract<lb/>

In this article we investigate the translation of financial terms from English into German in the<lb/> isolation of an ontology vocabulary. For this study we automatically built new domain-specific<lb/> resources from the translation search engine Linguee and from the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia.<lb/> Due to the fact that we performed the translation approach on a monolingual ontology, we ran<lb/> several sub-experiments to find the most appropriate model to translate the financial vocabulary.<lb/> The findings from these experiments lead to the conclusion that a hybrid translation system, a<lb/> combination of bilingual terminological resources and statistical machine translation, can help<lb/> to improve translation of domain-specific terms. Finally we undertook a manual cross-lingual<lb/> evaluation on the monolingual ontology to get a better understanding on this specific short text<lb/> translation task.<lb/>

Paul Ince Highlights Reading's Fight And Determination In Norwich Draw
The gaffer was reacting to a hard-fought point as Reading came from a goal down thanks to Andy Carroll's late penalty.

The Royals picked up a good point at Carrow Road in a 1-1 draw against Norwich City on Friday night. Andy Carroll slotted home a late penalty to secure a point. We are now 10th in the Championship, alongside four teams, all on 36 points.
Manager Paul Ince was very pleased with the point. Here is what he had to say, he spoke to the official club website and the Reading Chronicle.
Ince on the performance
"It was a very good point. Beating Swansea at home on Tuesday took a lot out of us, so to come here to play against a very good footballing team who have just lost their manager, in a stadium full of fans who were really up for it, and to get a draw – we fought for it.
"Towards the end of the first half the home fans were starting to groan and grumble and that was part of our gameplan. That was half the job done.
"In the second half we came out and played some good stuff, we got the ball down and passed it well – they got the goal which was disappointing, losing headers to Sargent and then it falls down to Idah.
"But you've watched these players. They never give up. They've got a fight about them. A determination. And they were holding on, we were all over them especially down the right side. Lucas had one cleared off the line and Yakou had a chance and we got our goal.
"I'm pleased that Nesta got the gametime he's deserved. In training he is a player who is always saying he is ready to go. He's never let his head drop and, attacking-wise, he is probably our best full-back.
"He's still a kid of course, he's got a lot of learning to do still. But he gets to the byline, he's got nice feet and I felt we needed that when Tommy Mac was getting a bit tired. And he won the penalty for AC to put in the back of the net.
"And AC was unbelievable. Any striker should watch him today, not just up the park but running back and playing left-back and clearing in our box. He's 33. That is DNA. That is desire.
"So I just told the players how proud I was of them. To beat Swansea, to then travel three and a half hours up to Norwich, we won't get back until 2 or 3 in the morning and then we've got to travel up to West Brom on Sunday – people are asking a lot of us. But all we do is dig in and fight. We did that again today.
"We're nowhere near the team we want to be. We haven't got the best players in this division, we aren't the best team in this division, but we've got something special with this group of players."
Ince on four-point week
"It's a great return. We're miles away from where we want to be, but there's something special about this group of players. If I'd have said Swansea, Norwich away and West Brom away and we would have picked up four points you'd be happy with that. Now we go up to West Brom, who have been playing well at the moment. I thought the lads were excellent today."
Ince on defending
"When you think about today, Naby Sarr has been out for three months, Tom McIntyre for six weeks, they will get stronger and better. We managed to keep them down to two goals in both games. Pukki is a great player, his runs are hard to deal with and at times they came out hot.
"They've just lost their manager, which is a sad thing to see, so I said to the players that the crowd will be up for it and that there will be a response. If we could keep them quiet for the first 15 minutes, then we will be okay. Pukki had a chance that Joe [Lumley] saved but other than that you could hear the crowd moaning and getting apprehensive. That was half our job done. That's a credit to the players.
It was a case of sustaining that into the second half. [Josh] Sargent should not be winning the header for one, and it's a great finish from [Adam] Idah but there were lots that we went over this week that we didn't do and it's cost us a goal.
"You're thinking just stay in the game, and after that we were all over them, especially down the right-hand side. Lucas [Joao] should have scored, Yak [Yakou Meite] so these are what those players will do. We're not the best players or the best team but they fight for each other and that's what we saw today."
Ince on his choice of strikers
"Yak is not at a level where he can play three games in six days. It's a lot for anybody, especially the workload we are putting in, so for the same people to play is virtually impossible. AC [Andy Carroll] has played again today, how he will come out tomorrow I'm not too sure, but it's good when you have four strikers that you can mix-and-match.
"I thought Lucas always has a goal in him and I said to him that I don't want to be picking a team with you not in it. We've got four strikers who can say I want to be number one. At the moment, that's not the case, and it gives me a decision to make every week.
"AC was unbelievable, for some of his age with his work rate. Everything about him frightens the life out of people. If you want to see what a striker does, look at that game because he had everything to it. He was unreal."
Ince on Nesta Guinness-Walker
"We looked at the bench and I thought there was no point having two wing backs with Nesta [Guinness] and Baba so I was that close to saying Nesta. Attacking-wise he's our best wing-back. He's been great in training. He's been frustrated that he's not been playing but most players are.
"His training has been unreal and he's always telling me he wants to be in the side and that's what you want. I'm really pleased with him and I'm glad we managed to nick a point out of it."
Ince on Sam Hutchinson
"It's too soon. We need to understand that people are training but not always ready to play. I was pleased that Liam Moore got 45 minutes today [in a friendly with West Ham] with no issues. Hutch should be back on the training ground after West Brom, but I am really looking forward to the next game now.
"I'm proud of the lads, they were out on their feet at times playing against two possession-based teams who keep the ball really well. Credit to the players and the fans for travelling, it was nice that they can go back down the motorway with a point.
"I haven't seen it, but if it was the other way around, I'm sure they would have said it was a penalty. I thought we should have had one with Lucas in the first half. At the end of the day, I think a point is a fair result. You look at all these things, but the referee is in a great spot and for me it is a foul."

Carl Ludvig Frid, född 26 januari 1855 i Skede socken i Jönköpings län, död där 29 januari 1909, var en svensk konstnär (målare).

Ludvig Frid var född i  Rösatorp i Skede socken  i Småland. Han var son till hemmansägaren Jonas Peter Petersson och  Anna Lena Carlsdotter. Han fick möjlighet att studera vid   Konstakademin  i Stockholm 1873-1881 genom kammarherre Uno von Angersteins försorg.  Genom sin målning: "På kyrkogården", erhöll han kunglig medalj 1882. Kung Oscar II   gav honom ett stipendium vilket gav honom möjlighet att studera konst i Paris. Vid en utställning i Stockholm 1885 köpte kungen hans tavla: "Vid Emmån".

Frid har i anslutning till det äldre svenska historie- och genremåleriet, utfört en del tavlor, ofta med motiv från Småland, samt särskilt kyrkliga målningar, bland annat för Sankt Nikolai kyrka, Halmstad, Appuna kyrka, Gnosjö kyrka, Hemmesjö nya kyrka, Väckelsångs kyrka och Bredaryds kyrka. Hans mest betydande fresker finns i Vetlanda kyrka och de stora målningarna som täcker hela korväggen i Urshults kyrka. Frid finns representerad vid bland annat Uppsala universitetsbibliotek och Nationalmuseum i Stockholm

Q: jQuery - Each() Selector Works on Other Elements, how to avoid? What I'm trying to do:
jQuery checks for all:

However, another div called:
 gets selected as well.
The code works as intended - but is including other divs with similar names.
How can I prevent jQuery from selecting these other elements?
Example can be seen here: http://jsfiddle.net/Z5HJE/
The top image should NOT work as a link.
The bottom image should be the only one to work as a link.
I'm not experienced in jQuery at all, but I needed this simple function for my site.
Thank you for reading.

A: jQuery does exactly what you told it to do.
when iterating over all .message-body elements it should do it over all of them.
After noticing you probably mispelled your question, the probem in your case is you iterate through all divs and then you iterate again through all img tags,regardless of their position.
You should try this :$('.message-body img') in your first each loop, you don't need both.
Code :
   $('.message-body img').each(function ()
   {
      var currImg = $(this);
      currImg.wrap("");
   });

A: This will work :)
 $(function ()
    {
       $('.message-body').each(function ()
        {
           $(this).find('img').each(function ()
            {
                var currImg = $(this);  // cache the selector
                currImg.wrap("");
            });
        });
    });

A: I assume that you need to get img tags inside
, so you can modify your javascript code to become:
$('.message-body').each(function ()
{
   $(this).find('img').each(function ()
   {
      var currImg = $(this);  // cache the selector
      currImg.wrap("");
   });
});

Come and Take It Day
Faith Radle
Set primarily in Mark Twain Middle School in San Antonio, Texas, Skipping Up follows a group of eighth graders as they finish their year in the Middle School Partners Program, a new and highly successful dropout-prevention project that helps students who were previously behind catch up quickly. Students in the program have seen their chances of dropping out fall from 90% to 10% while their tests scores in many cases exceed that of their peers, and it has generated national interest as a model for schools with significant Latino populations.
Co-production by ITVS
The annual "Come and Take It Day" celebration in rural Gonzales, Texas is where revenge and double-cross erupts.
