See, here’s the thing— a term such as “unpublishable product” is an amorphous term—subject to interpretation. For that publisher, their opinion was that I had given them an “unpublishable product” and in retrospect, maybe I had, because that particular imprint certainly didn’t have ...
And to make matters worse, the Harris County Commissioners received only a 10-year commitment from Adams to continue playing in the Dome in return for making those “improvements.” After that term expired, Adams took Nashville’s money and moved the Oilers to Tennessee in 1997. Not surprisingl...
Imtiaz Habib and I were regular SAA (Shakespeare Association of America) friends for many years, from the late 1990s onwards, till his untimely death in 2018. At every meeting we caught up with long chats, which in his native Bengali, one would call Adda –a popular term for “hangout,”...

When running "npm install" nearly all dependencies got removed. This happens on npm 5.3.0. There was formerly an issue opened and already closed, but the issue persists, also for others: I have several reproducable projects where i can replay it (means: all my current active projects). ...
