If you bank with Bank of America and you recently received an email about a change to your Online Banking Service Agreement, you may have skimmed it, filed it away mentally, or deleted it entirely. That would be a mistake. What Bank of America is quietly introducing — a binding arbitration provision — is one of the most consequential changes to your legal rights as a consumer that a bank can make. And the timing of its announcement tells a story that the bank would very much prefer you did not read. WHAT THE CHANGE ACTUALLY MEANS The new provision, detailed in Section 12 of the updated Online Banking Service Agreement, requires that virtually all disputes between you and Bank of America be resolved through private, binding arbitration rather than in a court of law. More significantly, it includes a class-action waiver — meaning you cannot join with other customers to collectively sue the bank, no matter how widespread the harm. In plain English: if Bank of America wrongs you — overchar...

... what was the reference from the book of Chronicles of the holy Bible involved in the publicity spat between the pope and president Trump 2 Chronicles 7 Trump Pope Spat The specific biblical reference involved in the dispute is 2 Chronicles 7:11-22, particularly verse 14, which states: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." President Donald Trump selected this passage for a scheduled Oval Office reading on April 21, 2026, as part of the "America Reads The Bible" event, an act organizers described as a call for national repentance. The timing of this reading occurred amidst a public feud between Trump and Pope Leo XIV, who had criticized the administration's military stance on Iran and used the Bible to condemn war, specifically citing Isaiah 1:15 ("your hands are full of blood...

... drill-down into "William D'Arcy's Concession Syndicate" The Concession Syndicate formed around William D'Arcy's Persian oil venture was a pivotal, albeit initially failing, endeavor that ultimately led to a major discovery.  - Financial Struggles: By 1905, after years of dry wells and immense costs (over £160,000 spent, £177,000 overdrawn), D'Arcy was near bankruptcy. To continue, he formed the Concession Syndicate Ltd. with the Burmah Oil Company as a major investor, which provided the necessary capital.  - Geological Setbacks: The Syndicate followed geologist W. H. Dalton's recommendation to drill at Shardin in 1906-1907, but both wells were unsuccessful.  - The Breakthrough: Operations shifted to Masjed Soleyman in 1908.  By April of that year, with no results and funds exhausted, the Syndicate decided to abandon the venture and ordered operations to cease. - A Stroke of Luck: George B. Reynolds, the field manager, delayed the shutdown. On May 2...
