Ring, the doorbell-camera firm, has partnered with 400 police forces, extending surveillance reach – The Washington Post
The Marshall Project:
When your doorbell is Big Brother. The smart-doorbell company Ring, owned by Amazon, has partnered with more than 400 police departments nationwide — far more than previously known — to provide video from individual citizens' private web-enabled doorbells to aid police in their investigations. Police and company executives say their collaboration makes neighborhoods safer. But critics say it's an undemocratic surveillance dragnet being marketed as just another app. WASHINGTON POST
The Justice Department Sent Immigration Judges A White Nationalist Blog Post With Anti-Semitic Attacks
Hamed AleazizBuzzFeed News Reporter
An email sent from the Justice Department to all immigration court employees this week included a link to an article posted on a white nationalist website that "directly attacks sitting immigration judges with racial and ethnically tinged slurs," according to a letter sent by an immigration judges union and obtained by BuzzFeed News.
According to the National Association of Immigration Judges, the Justice Department's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) sent court employees a link to a blog post from VDare, a white nationalist website, in its morning news briefing earlier this week that included anti-Semitic attacks on judges.
As NY 'Red Flag' Law Takes Effect, Judges Face Duty to Eye Fitness for Gun Ownership | New York Law Journal
By Dan M. Clark
The law in New York will allow law enforcement, a state prosecutor, a family or household member, or certain school employees to file an application in the state Supreme Court of each county to request that an individual be temporarily suspended from owning or buying a gun.
That's called an Extreme Risk Protection Order, which can remain in effect for up to a year, according to the law. The order can be renewed at the end of that term, but the length of an initial order is capped at a year.
FORMS & INSTRUCTIONS – Application for an Extreme Risk Protection Order – Supreme Court Forms | NYCOURTS.GOV
Steps to Prepare and File an Extreme Risk Protection Order Application
An Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) is a court order issued when a person may be dangerous to themselves or others. An ERPO prohibits a person from purchasing or possessing guns and requires the person to surrender any guns they already own or possess. An ERPO can also direct the police to search a person, premises or a vehicle for guns and remove them. An ERPO case may be started by a district attorney, a police officer, a school official, or a member of the person's family or household. It is a civil case. ERPO cases have no criminal charges or penalties.
The petitioner is the person filing the ERPO application with the court. The respondent is the person you are asking the Court to issue an ERPO against. The petitioner can be a district attorney, a police officer, a school official, or a member of the respondent's family or household. No matter who starts the case, you must follow these steps:

Starting on October 8, 2019, the Senior Lawyer Section will hold our first webinar conversation for Lawyer Well-Being. This first, webinar will be on Palliative Care, Hospice and Relevant Laws. The 30-min conversation will be hosted by, David P. Miranda, former NYSBA President and our first guest will be David C Leven, JD, Executive Director Emeritus and Senior Consultant, End of Life Choices New York.
To give you an idea of how our webinars will work, you can listen to a podcast with Ida Abbott, a lawyer and consultant for more than four decades. Ida was recently featured in a podcast for The Legalpreneurs Sandbox Podcast Series sponsored by the Centre for Legal Innovation (Australia, New Zealand and Asia-Pacific) at The College of Law in Australia. The conversation, which was hosted by the Centre's Executive Director Terri Mottershead, examines the impact of the exodus of Baby Boomer lawyers from legal practice and the role that mentoring should/can/will play in the consequent "changing of the guard."
A breakdown of the topics they cover can be found on the Centre for Legal Innovation website, and you can listen to the podcast there or here.
We think you will find this discussion quite valuable.

Hack the planet in style with the new Linux Terminal in Chrome OS 84

This story previously covered the feature when it first surfaced in the Chrome OS 83 developer channel. The new Terminal is now live in Chrome OS 84 stable.
Google has been ramping up the Linux environment on Chrome OS lately, with features like microphone support and USB connections. For those of you who spend a lot of time in the command-line Terminal, Chrome OS 84 has updated the app with new themes and customization options.
The Terminal app on Chrome OS has changed very little since the Linux container was originally released — it's a single window with text. However, the new version shipping in Chrome OS 84 offers tabs, pre-made themes, customizable colors and fonts for text, and even cursor options.
While some level of customization was already possible, the new options far surpass anything we've previously had at our disposal. Unfortunately, the settings are hidden behind keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + P). Google experimented with an overflow menu that gives you quick access to the theming options, but it's gone in the stable release.
Even though it was already possible to install alternative Terminal emulators on Chrome OS, the built-in app fits in better with Chrome OS, especially with the new tab layout. The new Terminal has been in testing since at least April, when it first popped up in the Developer build of Chrome OS 83.

NAIROBI, Kenya - An estimated 2.6 million Kenyans are infected with jiggers, a flea-like parasite that burrows under the skin. Left untreated, jiggers can lead to all kinds of secondary infections, loss of mobility and even death. Some 1.5 million children cannot go to school because of the scourge. A Kenyan organization has assisted in research for the world's first jiggers drug and has been holding medical clinics to help those suffering from the condition, which is linked to poverty and poor hygiene.
It is dubbed "the silent killer" because everyone wants to hide the condition. The feeling of shame at having it is unbearable.
Agnes Wayua knows this only too well. Her 10 children were infected with jiggers; one of her children and a grandchild died because of it.
"For that long time of jiggers and poverty, nobody recognized me in the village," she said. "Nobody could visit me or even greet me until they saw some signs of help. They began coming in one by one to join me because of what they are seeing. But some others even up to today gossip about me."
Help came from Ahadi Trust Kenya, an aid group aiming to wipe out jiggers in East Africa, provide support for those who have the condition, and reduce its stigma.
Stanley Kamau, Ahadi Trust Kenya's founder and executive director, says he and his group were targets of intense abuse from politicians and community members when they started, five years ago.
"I could not visit my village where I was born," he said. "I could not go to the schools where I went to school. The schools I had for many years contributed in building, they could not welcome me."
The parasites are usually found under the skin of the feet and hands. Children, who account for more than half the cases, are especially impacted. If their feet are badly infected, they cannot walk to school.
Ahadi Trust Kenya was eventually able to open medical camps where the affected come to get treatment and counseling.
Social worker Mourine Wangari Karanja is part of an army of volunteers who do what most people would refuse to do.
"I am doing this out of love," said Karanja. "When I was growing up, there were many people around me with jiggers. I used to watch my mother remove jiggers from these people. Now, I am a mother, I spoke to the health workers who gave me medicine to treat the ones who are infected."
Karanja and her colleagues treat jigger-infested body parts with soap, water, potassium permanganate, and lotion. There is no drug to cure jiggers, but a German researcher is developing a drug after working with Ahadi Trust Kenya.
The tide is turning. Where once Ahadi Trust Kenya and their clients were shunned, they are now becoming celebrities of sorts.
Miss World 2011, Miss Europe, Miss World Kenya and the grandson of former South African president Nelson Mandela all washed jigger-infested feet at the group's most recent medical clinic, thrilling the crowds with their presence.

Student Groups Advocate for Reinstatement of Dismissed Ph.D. Student
Student activist groups are demanding the Department of Cinema and Media Studies restore Zain Jamshaid to its Ph.D. program and support his continued research.
William Rainey Harper Memorial Library.
By Pranathi Posa and Kate Mabus
UChicago Without Borders (UWB) and Phoenix Survivors Alliance (PSA) published a letter supporting the reinstatement of Zain Jamshaid, a former Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Cinema and Media Studies (CMS). They are demanding that CMS allows Jamshaid to complete his doctorate at UChicago.
Jamshaid filed a Title IX case against a professor in his department in March 2020. CMS placed him on academic probation in May 2020, citing insufficient quality and progress on his dissertation. The department dismissed him in December 2020.
In an interview conducted by The Maroon and the Hyde Park Herald in February of this year, Jamshaid characterized his dismissal as a retaliatory action in response to the complaint he filed. In response to being withdrawn from his program, Jamshaid filed a Title IX complaint with the Department of Education's (E.D.) Office of Civil Rights (OCR) in late December 2020. The investigation began earlier this year and has since concluded.
According to statement from a University spokesperson, the "[Department of Education] notified the University and the complainant that it had found no violation of Title IX." The statement also said the "[E.D.'s] findings supported the University's conclusion that the allegations in the complaint are without merit." The Maroon has so far been unable to obtain a copy of the report containing the results of the E.D. investigation.
However, according to a statement Jamshaid gave to The Maroon, "The [E.D.] did not find "no violation" of Title IX. [The E.D.] simply said that they did not have sufficient evidence to rule in my favor, and yielded to the "subjective" assessment of faculty."
In another statement, Jamshaid reported that the [E.D.] decision "said there was "insufficient evidence" to rule that disclosures of sexual trauma were the impetus behind my dismissal."
Last year, while the E.D. was conducting the Title IX investigation into Jamshaid's allegations, he raised $29,125 through a GoFundMe page that many activist groups on campus amplified. According to UWB and Jamshaid, part of these funds went toward covering his legal expenses for applying for asylum. In an interview with UWB and Jamshaid, the organization said it reached out to him after learning that his dismissal from his Ph.D. program resulted in him losing his student visa.
On September 18, UWB and PSA released a letter of support that demands the CMS Department reinstates Jamshaid as a Ph.D. candidate in either fall or winter quarter and provides him a new committee chair, since his original chair stepped down from mentoring Jamshaid after Jamshaid was dismissed from the program. Additionally, the letter preemptively requests the University should not charge him for any tuition costs from the period that he was terminated.
If no CMS faculty member offers to chair Jamshaid's committee, UWB and PSA are also asking the department to allow Jamshaid's former mentor Richard Peña, a professor at Columbia University where Jamshaid received his master's degree, to chair the committee instead. According to the Division of Humanities's website, under which the Department of Cinema and Media Studies is housed, a "dissertation chair must be a faculty member in the student's home department."
"If [no faculty member of CMS agrees to chair Jamshaid's committee], [UWB and PSA] think that's not a reason for why Zain should not be able to complete a Ph.D. he's been working on for so many years." Valentina Villarroel, a member of UWB, said. "And this is a break in divisional policy, but divisional policy is just a little cruel."
In a statement to The Maroon, Peña said he is "still perfectly willing to serve on Zain Jamshaid's dissertation committee in whatever capacity that might be most useful, as I am eager to see his valuable work on Turkish cinema be completed for his Ph.D.."
If a chair is found for Jamshaid's committee, the letter further requests that CMS vote immediately to reinstate Jamshaid in either fall or winter quarter. While the deadline for reinstatement this fall has passed, Jamshaid said he is willing to wait until winter quarter. "I just really want a chair to sign on…[to] advise my dissertation through the last stages and let me defend it. This is not something that should require more than two to three quarters."
The letter finally requests that the University not charge Jamshaid tuition for the quarters that he missed.
"The tuition waiver was a very big point for Zain," Villaroel said, and later explained in a statement to The Maroon that Jamshaid was concerned that the University would try to discourage him from re-entering his program by back-charging him. "It's a roadblock where it's like, [Jamshaid] can still [continue with his research], but it's not feasible."
UWB and PSA are prepared to organize further actions to push the University and CMS administration to reinstate Jamshaid if these efforts are unsuccessful.
According to a statement from a University spokesperson regarding the campaign's push for Jamshaid's reinstatment, "Academic decisions are based on academic judgments by departmental faculty about the timeliness and quality of the work relative to the program's requirements and expectations."
In his statement, Jamshaid said, "A quick glance at the department's graduation record will reveal that numerous students, some very recent graduates, have taken much, much longer to work on their dissertations than I did. The delays in my work, for medically documented reasons, were simply exploited and used as a 'cover' to later expel me." Jamshaid joined CMS in 2013. The department website shows that there are currently two students that entered the program before Jamshaid, one in 2007 and another in 2009. The website does not have information on students who have already graduated.
Thus far, the letter has garnered 393 signatures in support, including 43 graduate students and 14 faculty members. 224 undergraduate students and 57 alumni have also signed on.

Who you might ask? Greg Bird? How in the hell is that? Well it would be easy to forget Bird since he has pretty much missed the entire 2017 fantasy baseball season with a stubborn ankle injury that inhibited him going back to spring training. Looked at as the better hitting prospect than first half monster Aaron Judge, Bird certainly looked the part during spring training when he hit everything in sight and cracked homers on an almost daily basis. Unfortunately that is also when the ankle began to flare up and this after Bird missed the entire 2016 season due to a serious shoulder injury. While Bird gave it a go for the first month of the season, he clearly was not himself as he batted .100 with just a single home run and 3 RBI before the ankle led to surgery.
Fast forward to present time and Bird is set to be activated by the New York Yankees for Friday's game and leading into it, he has once again been destroying pitching to the tune of a 3 home runs, 11 runs scored, and 7 RBI in 14 games at Triple-A. Once activated, Bird will be the everyday first baseman for the Yankees and thus will become an intriguing fantasy baseball power bat for the last month of the season. Having hit 11 home runs in 46 games as a rookie in 2015, Bird has shown he can hit major league pitching and thus is worth adding where available. While he does strike out too much and thus could be an average liability, Bird in that Yankee Stadium ballpark should be given another chance.

Directly elected mayors in England: leading local government?
John Fenwick and Howard Elcock
The first directly-elected executive mayors in England took office more than a decade ago. Drawing inspiration from European and American experience, the directly elected mayor appealed to New Labour and Conservative policy-makers alike, offering an apparent solution to perceived problems of weak local leadership and bureaucratic stagnation. The heroic image of urban leaders from the world's great cities was implicit in this depiction of the elected mayor, a new figure in English (and potentially Welsh) local government who would have decisive executive authority gained from direct popular mandate.
It didn't work out like this. Under legislation enacted in 2000, the first local referendums largely rejected the mayoral option. In 2012 the coalition government initiated 10 further mayoral referendums in selected English cities but in only one – Bristol – was there popular assent for establishing the office of mayor. Overall, there is no evidence of widespread public support, yet the prospect of more mayors – with enhanced powers – remains firmly on the policy agenda. Why?
Drawing from a decade of research by the authors, this article considers reasons for the persistence of the mayoral experiment, its broad support across political parties and the importance of specific local factors in the few areas where mayors actually exist. It finds little evidence of public enthusiasm. It suggests that the relationship of mayoral leadership to place remains problematic. Analytically the article uses the authors' leadership grid to link the governmental, governance and allegiance roles of mayors to the problematic nature of local leadership. The article also finds that although further legislation in 2007 – under which it became possible to establish a mayoral system through simple council resolution rather than referendum – potentially facilitated expansion of the mayoral system, this rapid expansion has not occurred. Indeed, two areas which previously adopted the office of mayor subsequently reversed their decision. Thus, in 2014, there are (excluding the London mayor, a different job with different powers) only 15 directly elected mayors in England. This is interesting and curious: not only in political terms but also in terms of local leadership and the long-standing search for an effective core executive. What is going on?
A full version of this article – Elected Mayors: Leading Locally? – is published in Local Government Studies. The article is open access until the end of February 2014.
John Fenwick is Professor of Leadership and Public Management at Newcastle Business School, Northumbria University. He is author of Managing Local Government (1995), numerous articles on local governance and public policy, and co-editor of Public Management in the Postmodern Era (2010). His current research includes local leadership and the elected mayor; the third sector in local service provision; and critical approaches to management development and organisational behaviour.
Howard Elcock is Professor (emeritus) at Northumbria University. He is author of Administrative Justice (1969), Portrait of a Decision: the Council of Four and the Treaty of Versailles (1972), Local Government (three editions 1984–1994) and Political Leadership (2001). His current research includes political leadership and elected mayors; local democracy; and the ethics of government.


The July 2015 Budget highlighted a new dividend tax from 6 April 2016.
Take care that dividends in your company are properly declared and documented.
The 10% dividend tax credit was abolished.
The first £2,000 of dividend income in 2019-20 has 0% tax.
For basic rate taxpayers, the dividend rate will then be 7.5%.
The rates in the higher and top bands will be 32.5% and 38.1%.
Dividends in tax sheltered wrappers such as pensions and ISAs do not count towards the dividend tax.
Because of the new tax, it is now more important than ever to ensure that dividends are properly declared and documented. For example, a dividend declared on 5 April 2019 counts towards tax year 2018-19. But if that dividend is declared on 6 April 2019 it then falls within 2019-20.
It is not hard to come up with a scenario where the 5 April 2019 dividend is at 0% or 7.5%, but the 6 April 2019 one is at 32.5% or 38.1%. So getting this stuff right can save shareholders a hefty amount of tax!

Chevengur () is a socio-philosophical novel by Andrei Platonov, written in 1928. It is his longest work and often regard by scholars as the most significant of his works. Although its fragments were published in the Soviet magazine Krasnaya Nov, the novel was banned in the Soviet Union until 1988. Full text of the novel was published by Ardis in 1972.

The novel was first translated into English in 1978 by Anthony Olcott.

According to N. Poltavtseva, there is reason to speak of a "philosophical trilogy", which includes the novels Chevengur, The Foundation Pit and Soul.

Title of the novel
There are various interpretations of the title of the novel, which, according to the feeling of its protagonist, "sounded like the enticing hum of an unknown country." "A whole book can be written about the decoding of this toponym". According to Sergey Zalygin and Nina Malygina, it is associated with the words cheva - lumps, bast shoes, and gur - noise, roar, roar. G. F. Kovalev and O. Yu. Aleinikov give a different interpretation, taking into account the predilection of that era for all sorts of revolutionary abbreviations: CheVeNGUR - Extraordinary military invincible (independent) heroic fortified area. Sometimes the "Chevengur space" is localized in the south of the Voronezh and Belgorod regions, or even directly in the city of Boguchar, Voronezh region.

Plot
The novel takes place somewhere in the south of Russia and covers the late 1910s early 1920's period of war communism and the New Economic Policy, although real events and the area have been transformed in accordance with the logic of the myth. Alexander Dvanov, the main character of the novel, lost his father early, who drowned himself out of curiosity before the afterlife. His adoptive father Zakhar Pavlovich somewhat resembles the writer's father (at the same time, the image of Alexander is partly autobiographical). "At seventeen, Dvanov still had no armour under his heart - no faith in God, no other mental peace ...". Going "to look for communism among the amateur population", Alexander meets Stepan Kopenkin - a wandering knight of the revolution, a kind of Don Quixote whose Dulcinea becomes Rosa Luxemburg. Kopenkin saves Dvanov from the anarchists of Mrachinsky's gang. The heroes of the novel find themselves in a kind of communist reserve - a town called Chevengur. Residents of the city are confident in the coming offensive of the communist Paradise. They refuse to work (with the exception of Subbotniks, meaningless from a rational point of view), leaving this prerogative exclusively to the Sun; they eat pasture, resolutely socialize their wives, and cruelly deal with bourgeois elements (destroying, Platonov emphasizes, both their body and soul). The revolutionary process in Chevengur is led by the fanatic Chepurny, Alexander's half-brother Prokofiy Dvanov "with the makings of a grand inquisitor", the romantic executioner Piyusya and others. In the end, the city is attacked by either the Cossacks or the Cadets; in a fierce battle, the defenders of the commune show themselves as true epic heroes and almost all die. The surviving Alexander Dvanov on Rocinante Kopenkina (nicknamed Proletarian Power) goes to the lake where his father drowned himself, enters the water and reunites with his father. Only Prokofy remains alive, "weeping on the ruins of the city among all the property he inherited"

Ideological origins
As in other works of the writer, in "Chevengur" one can feel Platonov's acquaintance with the ideas of Nikolai Fyodorov, Alexander Bogdanov, V. V. Rozanov, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Albert Einstein, Z. I. Vernadsky, A. L. Chizhevsky, Georgy Gurdjieff and Otto Weininger. In addition, the novel is seen as a reflection of the theories of Tommaso Campanella and Joachim Floorsky, the worldview of peasant writers of the 1920s (A. Dorogoichenko, Fedor Panferov, I. Doronin, P. Zamoysky). Possible sources for the novel include the Victory Over The Sun by Alexei Kruchenykh and Velimir Khlebnikov.

Interpretations
The novel is structured in such a way that allows for many different and even polar opposite interpretations: from anti-communist: "revolution is the coming to power of fools" to neo-Bolshevik: "justification of post-revolutionary horror by pre-revolutionary". From the point of view of N. G. Poltavtseva, the novel can be viewed as "a story about the collapse of the myth of the first creation of the model of an ideal state." T. I. Dronova defines the content of the novel as a "conglomerate" of the ideologemes of communism and Christian apocalypticism.

The image of the protagonist, with his inherent purity and chastity, reflected Platonov's thoughts about Jesus Christ. Many motives and episodes of "Chevengur" is a remind of the Gospel

Genre
As Leonid Yaroshenko points out

Maxim Gorky called "Chevengur" a "lyrical Satire"

Publishing history
The text was sent by the author to the editor-in-chief of the publishing house "Molodaya Gvardiya" G.Z. Litvin-Molotov.  who gave Platonov a number of instructions on the completion of the novel, and Maxim Gorky, in a letter dated September 18, 1929, stated: "Your novel is extremely interesting, its technical flaw is excessive stretching, an abundance of" conversation "and obscurity, blurred" action "" . At the same time, Gorky expressed great doubts about the prospects for the publication of the book - and he was right. Despite all the efforts of Litvin-Molotov, the novel, already brought to the galley stage, was never published during the author's lifetime.

The publishing house "Russian Association of Proletarian Writers" also refused to print the novel. According to the memoirs of an employee of the publishing house I. S. Shkapa - Platonov, taking the manuscript, said in his hearts:

 Oh, you pathetic people! They pulled out your rectum, nailed it to the table with a gold nail and said: move! Reinsurers.

In 1928, the Krasnaya Nov magazine published excerpts from the novel: The Origin of the Master in No. 4 and The Descendant of the Fisherman in No. 6; the magazine "New World" - the story "Adventure" in No. 6. The story "The Origin of the Master" - "artistically, perhaps, the most perfect part of the novel" - was published in 1929 in the author's collection of the same name.

The continuation of the story - a fragment entitled "Traveling with an Open Heart" - was published in the "Literaturnaya Gazeta" in 1971 (issue dated October 6). In the same year, the magazine "Kuban" (No. 4) published another fragment entitled "Death of Kopenkin". In 1972, a French translation of the novel was published in Paris (titled Les herbes folles de Tchevengour) and with a foreword by Michel Heller; it, however, lacked the text of The Origin of the Master. The Italian translation, published in the same year under the title: "Village of New Life" (Italian: Villaggio della nuova vita), was highly praised by Pier Paolo Pasolini. The first full publication of the novel in the West was in London (1978). In the USSR, the publication of the novel became possible only during the years of perestroika: in 1988, this task was fulfilled by the magazine Druzhba Narodov (No. 3-4); in the same year the novel was published as a separate edition and as part of the "Chosen".

On the game board, quotes by men of letters, thought and fame have been inscribed onto tiles, then scattered and reshuffled to make them illegible. Your task is to put the tiles back into their places and recover the original quote. To reconstruct a quote, you must swap the tiles until you get every original word. The tiles can be swapped only vertically, each within its own respective column. During the game you will encounter bonus opportunities; finding the multi-colored words and discovering two words simultaneously will earn you extra points. Also, you will come across an obstacle which will temporarily lock a column; it will be unlocked after you discover another word. You can get help - just click on a tile and then click on a hint button. If you find the quote before the Time Bonus expires, you will receive extra points.


This bold, hot root, contrary to its name, is poisonous to horses!
It is also the "new" wasabi since its "wasabi root cousin" became too scarce to use. The uncut or ungrated horseradish root shares none of its aroma. However, once open, it produces a mustard-oil type substance which highly irritates eyes and sinuses. To immediately tame it and keep it from turning a dark color, mix with vinegar.
It only makes sense the wildly pungent horseradish was highly popular in the stout-hearted Slavic regions of Central Eastern Europe, with the Yiddish, Poles, Hungarians, Lithuanians, Czechs, Romanians, Bulgarians, Slovakians and Russians who made heavy use of horseradish in traditional as well as religious observances.
The ancient Greeks had a party with the many properties of horseradish from medicinal to artistic to herbal. From Eastern Europe, consumption of horseradish gradually spread north to Scandinavia and westward to England where it became a must with beef and oysters. By the 1800s they liked horseradish in Boston.
The horseradish root belongs to the Brassicaceae family along with mustard, wasabi, broccoli, and cabbage.
As horseradish is so strong and consumed in small quantities, it is of little consequence it contains zero fat and few calories.
In these busy days most people buy horseradish in a jar and use it straight or add it as a very versatile ingredient to many dishes. You will be able to choose from a cream style prepared or a sauce. Keep the jar tightly covered and refrigerated to preserve its flavor. Once it takes on a beige color, replace it.
Make homemade horseradish sauce with the grated, peeled root, water, white vinegar and a pinch of salt.

Q: How do I build a boiler plate for node js using express generator I am new to the world of javascript. How do I scaffold out a node boiler plate. I heard express generator is one best option. Can I use it?

A: Express generator is a very good option. But the thing is you should first understand how node works basically. Express generator builds a sample boiler plate for you which most of the code is already written.
To use it, first install express generator globally as follows
npm install -g express-generator

Then to scaffold out a project do
express <YOUR APPNAME>

But, What I would suggest is try to build out your own boiler plate so that you get full understanding of how it works.
Let me know if you face any problems.
Enjoy node!

On the other side of the home, the kitchen leads into the great room featuring an optional gas fireplace. The sliding glass doors lead out onto second-level outdoor space, which gives the option for a full open deck, half deck / half screened porch, or full screened porch.
The third level of this townhome model features a large owner's suite complete with a walk-in closet and owner's bath. The owner's suite offers the option for a tray ceiling or deluxe owner's bath with both a shower and bathtub.

As we quickly approach a new year, predictions are rolling in on how the housing market is going to look in 2017. At Miller & Smith, we want you to be informed so that our current homeowners and prospective homebuyers know what to expect from the market in the year ahead. Whether you are looking to purchase a new home, or just want to be in the know, we have rounded up a few predictions for the 2017 housing market according to industry experts!
As many know, Millennials already make up a significant part of homebuyers, and in 2017, this is not going to change. Realtor.com predicts that Millennials will make up about 33% of total homebuyers over the next year, with many of them purchasing homes for the first time.
Millennials are currently between the ages of 18-34, and while it may seem late for some of them to be buying a first home, turns in the economy throughout their adolescence has deterred home buying until recently. In many cases, they are more prepared to purchase a home because they have rented or lived at home longer after college than previous generations, leaving plenty of time to save money.
'Surban' is a combination of suburban and urban, where benefits of both are combined into one community. According to Marketwatch, 'surban' is more than a mixed-use community, where these suburban communities are more inclusive and continue to add urban-like amenities to their repertoire. Communities are also building new homes that are affordable for all types of families, where townhomes and single-family homes are mixed together.
Miller & Smith continues to follow this trend in a number of different communities like Embrey Mill, where we offer both new townhomes and new single-family homes, and One Loudoun, where urban amenities are a plenty and our Next Level Homes are coming soon!
If you are considering purchasing a new home, now is the time to do it to get the best mortgage rates available! Although interest rates are relatively low when compared to the past few decades, we are seeing slow increases at the end of 2016. According to the Washington Post, rates are not predicted to surpass 4.3% on the 30-year fixed rate and there is still a positive outlook on the housing market from industry experts and homebuyers alike.
You've heard about how the Millennial generation will rule the home buying market in 2017, but homebuilders like us also have to start thinking about Gen Z. This generation is just on the cusp of the age where they think about purchasing a home, but it is important to understand that they are already putting strong value on homeownership.
Unlike the Millennials who came of age during the recession, housing market downturn, and stock market crash, Gen Z is slated to experience better job prospects and higher wages than that of Millennials. These conditions will better prepare them for the burden of student loans and is predicted to push them into the housing market sooner than Millennials.
Unlike previous years, where getting a mortgage was difficult for many who wished to purchase a home, there are new programs in effect that will help make it easier for many to obtain loans. Both national and regional lenders are letting up on strict terms for obtaining a mortgage by lowering down payment requirements, stretching the definitions of "income", raising the debt-to-income ratio requirement, and more.
Last year our blog post, Home Buying Made Easier With New Mortgage Program from Fannie Mae, described what was just the beginning of these new programs being put in place. Now, there are even more lenders participating in programs like this one!
Many of our new communities will continue to grow over the next year, and we will be introducing a number of new communities in some of the most sought after locations in Virginia and Maryland! As we continue to build new homes with the latest building trends and technological innovations to suit the needs of the modern homebuyer, you can be sure that for Miller & Smith, 2017 will be one of the best years yet!
For more information on all of our brand new homes and communities, explore our website at www.millerandsmith.com!
With 2017 on the horizon, Miller & Smith has compiled our annual list of new ideas and trends that will dramatically change the ways we occupy our living spaces over the next year. We expect 2017 to be full of incredible innovations — from technology that once felt like science fiction, to creative new ways to bring the great outdoors – in. Simply put, there's a lot to look forward to. Here are a few trends that have particularly piqued our interest.
Virtual reality tends to be associated with gaming and popular culture, but it is also an ideal platform for the real estate industry. For homebuyers, instead of spending in-person time at unappealing properties, they now have the option to take 360-degree tours of the property, all from the comfort of their own homes. Properties listed on Miller & Smith's website make these virtual tours available for many of their model homes. This technology is completely transforming the process of touring and shopping for homes, and we see the trend evolving and expanding well into 2017.
Although many homebuyers have begun looking for "urban-suburban" locales san the maintenance of a backyard, many still crave a personal piece of nature. Homebuilders are addressing this challenge with new homes that seamlessly fuse the outside and indoors, through the use of spacious rooftops, creative interior design, patios and courtyards. Several Miller & Smith homes, including Upper West and Brambleton's Garden District in Ashburn, Virginia, bring the outside in with features such as open-air architecture, walls of glass and floor-to-ceiling windows.
Say goodbye to missing remote controls and a basket full of electronics. The integration of smart technology into new homes is becoming a top priority for many homebuyers. The most innovative homes on the market now focus on having one central operating system — controlled through one remote — that cohesively coordinates and connects an entire home's technology. These homes, like Upper West at One Loudoun include built-in, high-tech features such as a top-of-the-line home network that connects to WiFi as painlessly as possible, and smart locks for keyless entry. For homeowners, this means easier, streamlined living, which is why this trend will only continue to gain popularity into 2017.
The coming year could be an excellent time to buy a brand new home, complete with sleek, tech-centric features that make living and connecting that much easier. To see these trends in action, take a look at Miller & Smith's available new homes in Maryland and Virginia.
By now, you may have started your holiday shopping, or decorated your home for the season of lights! It is easy to get distracted by what can be an overwhelming holiday season with guests to host and events to plan. Make it a point this year to keep your home and family safe with some quick tips and reminders from Miller & Smith!
Climb safely: If you plan to use a ladder to hang decorations up in your home, make sure to inspect the ladder first! This may seem like an unnecessary step, but if your ladder is old, or doesn't follow the applicable safety guidelines, then there is a chance it is unsteady. Additionally, if you are using a straight or extension ladder, it is a good idea to have someone hold the bottom of the ladder for you.
Double check alarms: If you didn't remember to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors during Daylight Savings (tisk, tisk), make sure to test them out and replace batteries before putting up all of your holiday décor.
Assess all string lights: When you are unpacking boxes of lights from last year, inspect each string for cracked bulbs, loose connections, and frayed cords. Any faulty lights can be a fire hazard, so double-check everything!
Isolate candles: While candles are a great way to add festive scents to your home during the holiday season, any open flame can be hazardous, especially if you have children or pets. Make sure candles are not too close to the ground, plants, or any other flammable objects. Keep candles contained and up on higher surfaces, and don't forget to blow them out before you go to bed!
Time your lights: If you tend to be forgetful with turning exterior and interior lights on and off, hook up a few light timers to each outlet. This will reduce your energy costs and make sure all of your lights turn on and off at the right time each day. It is also important to unplug everything if you leave your home at any time.
Safety is such an important part of being able to enjoy the holidays, so make sure to take all of the necessary precautions for a safe holiday season in your new Miller & Smith home!

Robert Ludlum (Nueva York, 25 de mayo de 1927 – Naples, Florida, 12 de marzo de 2001) fue un autor estadounidense de novela negra, que escribió 23 libros (algunos bajo los seudónimos de Jonathan Ryder y Michael Shepherd), aunque se le atribuyen otros cuatro; además, varios narradores han utilizado su nombre para publicar algunas obras y Eric Van Lustbader ha continuado las novelas protagonizadas por Jason Bourne con una serie de secuelas (en 2012 publicó la séptima).

Biografía
Su padre, George Hartford Ludlum, era un comerciante que murió cuando el futuro escritor era todavía un niño, en 1934. Creció en Nueva Jersey y estudió en The Rectory School (Pomfret, en la Chesire Academy y en la Universidad Wesleyana, en Middletown (estos tres estableciemientos educativos se encuentran en el estado de Connecticut).

Como actor, Ludlum comenzó en representaciones estudiantiles y a los 16 años ya actuó en Broadway, en la pieza Junior Miss; más tarde fue también productor de teatro (participó en dos centenares de dramas televisivos y produjo unas 300 obras de teatro).

Durante la segunda guerra mundial trató de alistarse en la Real Fuerza Aérea Canadiense, pero falló en sus intentos y terminó sirviendo en el Cuerpo de Marines de los Estados Unidos (1945-47).

A partir de mediados de la década de 1970 se consagra a escribir. En sus novelas generalmente un individuo o un pequeño grupo se enfrenta a poderosos enemigos capaces de usar la maquinaria político-económica de modo aterrador. Veía un mundo donde corporaciones mundiales, fuerzas militares y organizaciones gubernamentales conspiran para cambiar el statu quo. Con la excepción de fallos ocasionales al tratar de armas de fuego, investigaba a conciencia para sus novelas, que están llenas de detalles técnicos, físicos y biológicos, incluyendo la amnesia que trató en El caso Bourne.

Ha sido criticado por su uso de la cursiva, de las frases cortas o los signos de exclamación.

Ludlum fue el primero en escribir novelas de suspense en el estilo que conocemos hoy en día, creando el marco que utilizarían autores como David Morrell, Gayle Lynds y Daniel Silva. Popularizó la idea de agentes de inteligencia estadounidenses y soviéticos cooperando, y de la CIA realizando operaciones ilegales en territorio de los Estados Unidos. Ambas premisas, que se ridiculizaban como de ficción, se aceptan hoy en día como reales.

Jason Bourne, un agente de la CIA y una auténtica "máquina de matar", es el protagonista de una trilogía de Ludlum, que ha sido llevada al cine —The Bourne Identity (El Caso Bourne), The Bourne Supremacy (El Mito de Bourne) o The Bourne Ultimatum (El Ultimatum de Bourne)—; la serie de Bourne ha sido continuada por Eric Van Lustbader (quien en 2012 ya llevaba publicadas siete secuelas).

En las películas, Matt Damon interpreta el papel de Jason Bourne; aunque han tenido éxito comercial y de crítica, sus tramas se apartan mucho de lo escrito por Ludlum.

Entre otras célebres novelas de Ludlum destacan El manuscrito de Chancellor, El caos Omega y El círculo Matarese.

Todas sus obras se caracterizan por tener títulos en el formato <artículo sustantivo nombre propio> y así han continuado otros autores sus obras póstumas.

Murió el 12 de marzo de 2001 a consecuencia de las quemaduras tras un incendio en su casa de Naples, Florida, del cual no se conoce con precisión el origen, y que se produjo tan sólo unas semanas después de que el escritor nombrase a su segunda esposa beneficiaria de un jugoso testamento.

Dejó tras de sí algunos manuscritos y varios resúmenes previos, que han sido publicados con la ayuda de escritores fantasmas. Se han impreso más de 210 millones de ejemplares de sus libros, que han sido traducidos a 32 idiomas.

 Trece en Zúrich (The Scarlatti Inheritance, 1971)

 La trama del escorpión (The Scorpio Illusion, 1993)
 Los guardianes del apocalipsis (The Apocalypse Watch, 1995)
 El retorno de los Matarese (The Matarese Countdown, 1997)
 Conspiración Prometeo, también traducida como El engaño (The Prometheus Deception, 2000)
 El protocolo Sigma (The Sigma Protocol, 2001; la última novela escrita completamente por Ludlum; fue publicada después de su muerte)
 La Herencia de los scarlatti (Best seller 2.ª Edición)

Waitt Company Purchases Bobby Jones Brand
12.32am 22nd May 2013 - Corporate
Waitt Company has reached agreement to acquire all operating assets of the Bobby Jones brand from W-Diamond Group Corporation, a New York based company owned and led by Doug Williams and his family. As part of this agreement, the Jones family and the W-Diamond Group Corporation have agreed to provide Waitt Company a long-term license for the exclusive use of the Bobby Jones brand globally in connection with apparel, golf equipment and related products and accessories.
Bobby Jones was one of the greatest golfers in the history of the sport and his name has always been associated with grace and dignity. The Bobby Jones brand of apparel and golf equipment represents quality, class and luxury, catering to men and women.
Waitt Company will operate the Bobby Jones business under a newly formed affiliate, Jones Global Sports, and will assume all global operations. Doug Williams will join the board of Jones Global Sports and assist in preserving and expanding the brand. The current president of Bobby Jones, Andy Bell, will be promoted to CEO of Jones Global Sports.
"The decision to partner with the Waitt Company on the Bobby Jones brand and business was a very important decision for the Jones family and me," said Doug Williams. "I became aware of the Waitt organization through its purchase of Prince, and was attracted to the organization's approach to brand and commitment to the people connected to building and protecting the value of a premium brand. After meeting with Dana Bradford a couple of times, it was clear to me the Waitt organization and all the resources at their disposal was the right fit for Bobby Jones brand, the Jones family and the legacy of Bobby Jones the individual.
"I wish all transactions were as easy as this one. The Waitt organization has a reputation for honouring everything it says and doing exactly what it says it will do. I am excited about the future of Bobby Jones, and look forward to continuing to assist Andy Bell and his team as a director of Jones Global Sports."

I'm pleased to announce Missouri Open 2015, a regular difficulty college tournament planned for the fall of 2015. Questions will be written and edited by Will Alston, Itamar Naveh-Benjamin, and Shan Kothari, with additional writing contributions from Rohith Nagari and Ewan Macaulay. We are aiming for mirrors of this tournament to be run throughout October and November 2015.
This tournament's distribution and questions are inspired by those of National Academic Quiz Tournaments, but they will not use the exact distribution or format that NAQT uses. Packets will consist of 24 tossups and 24 bonuses according to the distribution we have outlined and will be played in their entirety. To ensure that games do not take too long, and to stick with the NAQT-inspired theme, tossups will be capped at five lines in length (before power-marks and guides) and bonus parts will be capped at two lines apiece.
A separate packet of tiebreakers will be provided. In the event of a tie, a single question should be read from this packet in order to break the tie.
As the tournament's name suggests, this tournament will be open-eligibility as previously discussed. We strongly encourage participation by veterans and strong high school players in this tournament. However, a discount is provided for teams who choose to compete consisting entirely of players from a single school: the mirror fee for this tournament will be $45 per open team and $25 per single-school team. This discounted single-school fee will apply to both collegiate teams and high school teams.
Please contact us with bids or any other questions at missouriopen2015@gmail.com.

We've decided to make a change to the distribution. The "Mixed Big Three" category is now going to be "Mixed History, Literature, Other Science, and Other Arts" with all four of those categories roughly equally represented. The additional Other Science will mostly comprise additional math questions.

The first post has been updated to reflect that the single-school discount will apply to teams from a single college OR teams from a single high school.

Do you have a list of sites (and if possible, what dates those sites are hosting on) yet?
We have confirmed mirrors at Brown, VCU, Cambridge, and Mizzou. We're working on getting mirrors at Berkeley, Michigan State, McMaster, and Minnesota. We're open to other mirrors as well, particularly in the Southeast.
To my understanding, Itamar hasn't been contacted by anyone interested in organizing one yet. I'm busy this week but I'll look into it.
EDIT: I lied, he in fact has. Once we confirm that things are more than tentative, we will post what the mirror sites are.
Is Minnesota still hosting this? Is there an overlap with the Missouri and/or MSU fields?
Minnesota will indeed host a mirror -- Shan mentioned 10/24, but I'll confirm before listing it.
There will be some overlap between MSU and Mizzou (for example, I believe UIUC intends to attend the MSU mirror), but we never expected the Mizzou mirror would attract that many teams in the first place.

That's the plan. Barring a compelling objection, I'll put up an announcement soon, so if you do object, let me know right away. The only other options for us are after ACF Fall on November 7 (e.g. Nov 14, 21).
For what it's worth, I would almost certainly play a Minnesota mirror on Nov 14.

I'd play whenever, as long as I know the date well enough in advance.
I sent an email out to a bunch of Minnesota folks and schools from nearby states to get input about a date. I'll decide for sure, and put up a forum post, by Thursday morning at the latest. If you didn't get the email, and would attend the Minnesota mirror either 10/24 or 11/14 but not the other, please DM me.
I should make one final note about the distribution: Jazz is now part of Other Arts, and not the 1/1 audio arts distribution (which should be thought of as "classical music" now) since we've expanded the Other Arts distribution as part of the rotating extra 0.25/0.25 per packet.
The set is now complete and packetization is nearly finished.
I'll be reminding individual hosts, but once again the set is meant to be played as 24/24 - like DEES, but with 24 tossups instead.
There was a mirror at Texas A&M last weekend. Texas A won, Rice came in second.
When this set be posted?
Cody owns the set entry - I'll ask him to upload it.
I've just uploaded the set after receiving ownership from Cody. It will hopefully be available to download online soon.

Comparative Politics Speaker- Tulia Falleti (Univ of Pennslyvania)
State-Society Cooperation in Health Care for Indigenous Women
Tue, February 4, 2020 | BAT 5.108
Abstract: Cooperation between state and civil society in the delivery of public services raises a host of questions that go from cooptation of civil society to efficiencies in the delivery of public services. Moreover, when this cooperation focuses on vulnerable and historically marginalized populations, ethical concerns about their proper treatment emerge as well. The presentation tackles these thorny issues by analyzing recent collaboration experiences among the states of Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay and two Argentine NGOs in health care for indigenous women in the Great Chaco region.
Tulia Falleti (Ph.D. Political Science, Northwestern University, 2003; B.A. Sociology, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1994) is the Class of 1965 Endowed Term Professor of Political Science, Director of the Latin American and Latino Studies Program, and Senior Fellow of the Leonard Davis Institute for Health Economics at the University of Pennsylvania. Falleti is the author of Decentralization and Subnational Politics in Latin America (Cambridge University Press, 2010), which earned the Donna Lee Van Cott Award to the best book on political institutions by the Latin American Studies Association; and, with Santiago Cunial, of Participation in Social Policy (forthcoming, Elements in the Politics of Development, Cambridge University Press). She is co-editor, with Orfeo Fioretos and Adam Sheingate, of The Oxford Handbook of Historical Institutionalism (Oxford University Press, 2016), and with Emilio Parrado of Latin America Since the Left Turn(University of Pennsylvania, 2018), among other co-edited volumes. Her articles on decentralization, federalism, authoritarianism, participation, and qualitative methods have appeared in edited volumes and journals such as the American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, Publius, Qualitative Sociology, Studies in Comparative International Development, and World Politics among others. She is working on a comparative research project on the articulation of indigenous peoples' demands regarding territorial claims, and rights to prior consultation, living well, and plurinationality; and collaborating with two non governmental health organizations to assess the effectiveness of mobile health care for pregnant women in remote rural areas.

It looks like Samsung might have killed off the RUI feature in its firmware that lets you use the HDHR DVR without installing an app on the display. You can check out their video which demonstrates this yourself. If this is intentionally, and not a bug introduced in the firmware update, I have to say that it's pretty customer hostile. Samsung shouldn't be selling features then remote killing them when they feel like it.


Today I've got a really cool post, thanks to a website called Influenster. What is Influenster? Basically, it's a free website that offers you a chance to review products (for free) and share your opinions with others. Or in their own words, it's "a place for culture junkies to come together and share their unique opinions of products and experiences." I couldn't have said it better myself!
To be honest, the one thing that gives me faith about this product is the Allure Beauty stamp of approval on it, otherwise my first impression was that this looks like some Seen on TV scammy toothpaste. Other than that, I was pleased by the size of this sample - it's a good 4 oz. It comes in the flavor Happy Mint, and it smells really good. I haven't used it yet so I can't vouch for any of it's whitening powers, but I will definitely use this once I run out of my current toothpaste. Considering I would never spend $7.99 for a toothpaste (unless it's absolutely amazing), I'm happy to try this out without paying for it.
Who can't use some Q-Tips? I certainly can, and I can definitely use a travel pack or two to tote around with me when I travel. For the sake of this wedding-themed box they suggest using these for touching up eyeliner, precisely applying concealer, and perfecting manicures - but lets be honest, we all know we're going to use them to clean out our ears.
I'm really excited to try these out. I'm a wimp when it comes to wearing heels all day, so I'm curious to know if these provide any relief. I know on my own wedding day I wore my heels as little as possible, and switched to flip flops almost as soon as I said "I do!" The gel in these cushions are designed to absorb shock and prevent feet from sliding forward while helping to avoid "toe scrunch" (whatever that is.) I'll definitely be getting good use out of this product.
This is an interesting product that I'm kind of surprised is a "new" concept - however, it's not entirely shocking. This is a powder pain killer that you take without the use of water. The packaging says it's made with Aspirin, caffeine, pain-reliever, and Adjuvant. I'm not really one to take pain killers if I can avoid it, so I most likely won't get any use from this. Also, this isn't a brand I've ever heard of, so I'm even more put off by the idea of trying it out. Interesting concept, but not sure I can see it catching on.
This was my favorite product from the box - two packs of falsies! The little insert of product descriptions says these retail for $4.98, however I saw these puppies at Walgreens yesterday for $6.99, so depending on where you get them, they can be rather pricey. The thing I like about these is that they're really natural and wispy, they're not some crazy outlandish design. I think anyone could easily pull these off without looking crazy. I've tried other brands of falsies, but this is the first time I've ever owned any by Kiss.
All in all, I think this was a really fun box to receive and nearly all of the products I'll get use out of. Influenster is worth signing up for if you're a survey junkie, or you like to leave and read reviews about all sorts of products. I happen to be all of the above. :) Let me know if you've signed up or are thinking about it - I'd love to know what you think!

The Promised Sequels that Never Come to Life
*This post started off level-headed and tame but then morphed into a rant. Apologies!
Sometimes I read books, and I like them. And I want more! The second I finish the book, I'll hop on Goodreads and plead to the bookish gods that a sequel is in the works. More times than not I am blessed with a "heck yeah!!" to the sequel. But sometimes the deal is poisoned by a far off release date, or worse, no release date at all. And that scares me.
I'm naturally an optimistic and hopeful person, but darn it, even I can admit that a book that came out in 2008 with no release date set for the second book is a bad sign.
I loathe when an author promises a second book and then reneges on that promise. Sometimes there are realistic and understandable reasons for quitting on a book, but sometimes there's really none. And yes, Stephanie Meyer I'm looking at YOU. I read your wonderful sci-fi book "The Host", and I loved it so so much!! Then I saw that you were planning on writing two sequels. Now there's only radio silence on your end. What happened to those books?! Don't promise your readers two books if you don't plan on writing them. And it's not like you're not writing. Stop with the hangup on Twilight! You wrote another version of "Twilight" gender-swapped. Was one version really not enough?! Can't you come up with something original, PLEASE?! Write the sequel to "The Host" please. I'm trying to blot out that horrid movie adaptation. The least you can do is satisfy readers with the second installment that you planned to write. Please stop riding on Twilight's coattails, and write sometime new damn it.
Your fan,
Dear Melissa de la Cruz,
I might not have loved your book "The Ring and The Crown", but even I can admit that it was a fun train wreck. The ending was super confusing and a cliffhanger of sorts. Against my better judgement I really want to read the next one, "The Queen and The Courtesan". But then I heard that you are no longer writing it because you're happy with how TRaTC ended. How. Is. That. Possible. That was no ending!! Ugh okay I guess I could be okay with that, but apparently this isn't the first time you've quit on a series and backed out of the sequels you promised to write. Not cool.
A peeved reader,
I can't even describe how frustrating it is when promised sequels never make it to publication because the author just changes her mind, tosses in the hat, and says "NOPE". Am I only in this frustration?! Have you ever had to deal with this? If not, lucky you.
Ugh, that really bothers me too! I really loved The Host! And while I'm happy with the ending, knowing that she had more in store for the characters makes me SO CURIOUS. Don't ever announce you're writing a sequel unless you're 100% sure/have already started/have already made a first draft.
Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight July 16, 2016 at 2:41 AM
GAH I feel you, this is THE. WORST. Even worse is when the author WANTS to write the sequel and the publisher is like "nah, we don't care if the readers of the first book ever know how it ends" and I want to rip my hair out and FORCE Scholastic to give me a third Fire & Flood book before my eyes start shooting fire and/or flood.
Also, I think it's safe to say that The Host sequels are never happening, and that Stephenie probably checks Goodreads to see how many people add the non-existent books while laughing and rolling in piles of money ;) In fairness, I liked how The Host ended... but taunting with hope for a sequel is just mean!
wandaheartian July 16, 2016 at 12:25 PM
Dear lord yes.. I have been waiting for the Host sequel for forever too! And I keep hoping it will happen but yeah.. :(
Got My Book July 16, 2016 at 1:41 PM
I gave up on The Host sequel years ago. I would really prefer that an author just confess and say they haven't been able to come up with anything for a sequel rather than continue to string us along. Then if they get inspired and come up with one after all it will be a bonus.
My Most Recent Discussion: Love It or DNF It: Living with Chronic TBR Overflow Pt 3
Yes! This Happened to Me Too
Only it's The Third Book of a Trilogy I Read, If You've Heard of The Mystic City Trilogy,Well. Book 3 Was Supposed to Come Out in English Last Year, It Came Out in German, Only German. Now it's a Year Later and There is No Sign of The English Edition Hardcover, The Book is Available in English Audio in The UK. at This Moment, There is Only a Title for The English Edition in The USA, But No Release Date, No Cover, Just a Title and a Blurb.UGH.. BUT The Sliver-Lining in This is That I Know How It Ends, a German Reader Told Me. I Love The Ending :D
Alyssa July 16, 2016 at 3:37 PM
Seriously? The Queen and the Courtesan isn't happening anymore?! How in the world is she satisfied with the ending of The Ring and the Crown? There are no words. I liked The Ring and the Crown and I really really wanted to read a sequel, even if it was just one... it's been so long, I guess you could figure that the sequel wasn't happening even if de la Cruz never said anything. Ugh! Not cool!
Katie July 16, 2016 at 4:26 PM
Whoa, wait, Melissa de la Cruz has backed out on writing sequels before?! O.O
Oh man, I completely didn't know that about those books! I've heard pretty good things about The Host and have always wanted to pick it up but maybe I shouldn't since the sequels may not be happening.
That's really surprising about The Ring and the Crown book -- maybe it didn't do well as they expected?
The only book this has happened to me with was the Stacey Jay Princess of Thorns book, which was really too bad because I greatly enjoyed it.
Samantha@WLABB July 16, 2016 at 6:32 PM
I understand. You invest time and become sort of vested in the characters lives, and then - BAM! You are left in this limbo. I would write my letter to Shana Abe (The Sweetest Dark) and Diana Peterfreund (Killer Unicorns). I will never know how these trilogies end.
I completely understand this! Gena Showalter decided she didn't want to write a 4th Intertwined because she "wasn't feeling it anymore". Have you read that series? I can't believe that's how it ends! L.J. Smith don't even get me started. Years, YEARS, I've been waiting for Strange Fate. It was supposed to come out in 98! I guess The Vampire Diaries is just more important.
Leah July 19, 2016 at 1:57 PM
I feel you! I have been waiting for Strange Fate forever. To be fair though, she got horribly sick and has been on the road to recovery. My hope is dwindling, but I am still keeping a tiny spark alive.
The Book's Buzz July 17, 2016 at 10:00 PM
HOLY SHIT I so wanted a sequel to this book. I'm not even kidding about how obsessed I was after reading the first one. Sure the book had A LOT of flaws but it was so fun to read and I just loved being immersed in the court life. Melissa de la Cruz really did her homework. ALl of the characters were so lovable and the guys, swoon-worthy! *taps foot* still waiting on that sequell...
Alex @ The Book's Buzz
My name is Leah. I have also been waiting for almost 15 years for an L.J. Smith sequel to her Night World series. Strange Fate is an almost distant dream now.
Jessi (Geo) July 23, 2016 at 4:02 PM
Ha I feel you! Intertwined by Gena Showalter is the same way. I actually liked the ending to the original trilogy, I thought it made sense and it fit. I mean, it sucked emotions-wise (ow feels), and left it kinda open, but IT MADE SENSE. Then she said she'd be writing a fourth book. So of course, even though I thought the ending was fine, I still got excited. I LOVE. THAT. SERIES. And now she's no longer writing it. SO FRUSTRATING. >:(
Kristen @ Metaphors and Moonlight July 31, 2016 at 2:41 AM
Gaaaaaah yes! If there's a legitimate reason, like something serious came up in the author's life or something, ok. But when they promise more and leave the story incomplete and then are just kinda like, "Nah," and abandon it, that's rude to the readers. It also really aggravates me when an author starts a series but then gets sidetracked writing a whole bunch of books for other series and new stuff and standalones and just ditches the original one for years, like what you described with Meyers. I'm currently having this problem with two series that I loved. One of them I'm waiting for the *final* book. Why hasn't she just written it and completed it already before moving on to a new series AND a new random standalone??? It's one of my absolute favorite series, but all she's doing it making me lose interest. And now I'll never start any of her other series until they're finished since I'm not going to go through this again.
But the absolute worst is when a book ends with a major cliffhanger and then the author never writes any more, which has also happened to me recently -_-
Sorry for taking out my frustrations in your comments section lol. I just get so riled up about this!
Olivia's Catastrophe August 1, 2016 at 3:25 PM
I'm so annoyed that there is no Seeker novel as well! I really loved The Host - I fell and I fell HARD. It's one of my favourite books of all time and there not being a sequel really upsets me. I'll always hold out hope, but it's bothersome so I know how you feel >.>

Collin Quaner
Huddersfield Town forward Collin Quaner pushing for a return to action
The 26-year-old German frontman missed the 1-0 opening friendly victory at Accrington Stanley with a knock

Huddersfield Town forward Collin Quaner could return from injury to face Bury on Sunday.

Boss David Wagner hopes big striker Collin Quaner will be fit to play in Huddersfield Town's next match.
The 26-year-old German frontman missed the 1-0 opening friendly victory at Accrington Stanley after taking a morning knock in training at PPG Canalside.
But Quaner – who played as a substitute at Wembley when Town clinched promotion to the Premier League back in May – is expected to be ready for Sunday's 3pm kick-off at Bury.
"Collin took a knock in the session but we don't believe it's a major issue," explained Wagner, who watched new arrival Tom Ince score on debut at the Wham Stadium.
"He should be able to come back into training soon and then he could be available for Sunday."
It will be a little longer, however, for popular defender Michael Hefele (Achilles) and play-off final matchday captain Tommy Smith, who suffered a foot injury in that match.
Who are Huddersfield Town's pre-season German opposition SV Sandhausen?
"Michael will maybe have some further checks, but we think he could be back in the next seven to 10 days," said Wagner of the 26-year-old fans' favourite.
"Tommy has had some further investigations for which we are waiting on results, but hopefully everything goes well and he will be back in the next seven to 10 days as well."
After Sunday's trip to face former manager Lee Clark's side, Town then fly out to SV Sandhausen for another match on Tuesday (4pm our time) before tackling SkyBet Championship side Barnsley at Oakwell on Saturday, July 22.
Wagner's squad travel to Austria for a week-long training camp on Saturday, July 29, and will play two matches against Stuttgart and Torino while they are there.
It then leaves them a clear week before the first Premier League match at Crystal Palace on Saturday, August 12.

#DavidNiven
David Niven, al secolo James David Graham Niven (Londra, 1º marzo 1910 – Château-d'Œx, 29 luglio 1983), è stato un attore britannico.
Arrivò a Hollywood durante gli anni trenta, iniziando a lavorare come comparsa in pellicole western. Firmò un contratto con il produttore Samuel Goldwyn e finalmente ebbe una parte più rilevante in La tragedia del Bounty (1935); da allora il suo successo crebbe grazie alle interpretazioni in La carica dei seicento (1936) e ne La voce nella tempesta (1939), e nelle commedie brillanti come L'ottava moglie di Barbablù (1938) e Situazione imbarazzante (1939).
Vinse l'Oscar al miglior attore protagonista per la sua interpretazione del timido e solitario maggiore Pollock in Tavole separate (1958), accanto a Deborah Kerr e Burt Lancaster, tratto dall'omonima commedia di Terence Rattigan.
Seguirono ruoli memorabili in drammi come Buongiorno tristezza (1958), in film bellici quali I cannoni di Navarone (1961) e I due nemici (1962), nel quale ebbe come partner Alberto Sordi, e in commedie sofisticate come La Pantera Rosa (1963) e James Bond 007 – Casino Royale (1967), commedia non appartenente alla serie ufficiale di film tratti dai romanzi di Ian Fleming, in cui interpretò il ruolo di James Bond.
Negli anni settanta venne acclamato da pubblico e critica per due brillanti libri autobiografici: La luna è un pallone (The Moon's a Balloon) (1971) e Bring On the Empty Horses (1975), quest'ultimo mai tradotto in italiano. Nel 1981 pubblicò un romanzo d'amore e avventura ambientato a Londra durante la seconda guerra mondiale, Va piano, torna presto (Go Slowly, Come Back Quickly).

James David Graham Niven (1 March 1910 – 29 July 1983) was an English actor and novelist. His many roles included Squadron Leader Peter Carter in A Matter of Life and Death, Phileas Fogg in Around the World in 80 Days, and Sir Charles Lytton, ("the Phantom") in The Pink Panther. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in Separate Tables (1958).
Born in London, Niven attended Heatherdown Preparatory School and Stowe before gaining a place at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. After Sandhurst, he joined the British Army and was gazetted a second lieutenant in the Highland Light Infantry. Having developed an interest in acting, he left the Highland Light Infantry, travelled to Hollywood, and had several minor roles in film. He first appeared as an extra in the British film There Goes the Bride (1932). From there, he hired an agent and had several small parts in films from 1933 to 1935, including a non-speaking part in MGM's Mutiny on the Bounty. This brought him to wider attention within the film industry and he was spotted by Samuel Goldwyn. Upon the outbreak of the Second World War, Niven returned to Britain and rejoined the army, being recommissioned as a lieutenant.
Niven resumed his acting career after his demobilisation, and was voted the second-most popular British actor in the 1945 Popularity Poll of British film stars. He appeared in A Matter of Life and Death (1946), The Bishop's Wife (1947), and Enchantment (1948), all of which received critical acclaim. Niven later appeared in The Elusive Pimpernel (1950), The Toast of New Orleans (1950), Happy Go Lovely (1951), Happy Ever After (1954) and Carrington V.C. (1955) before scoring a big success as Phileas Fogg in Michael Todd's production of Around the World in 80 Days (1956). Niven appeared in nearly a hundred films, and many shows for television. He also began writing books, with considerable commercial success. In 1982 he appeared in Blake Edwards' final "Pink Panther" films Trail of the Pink Panther and Curse of the Pink Panther, reprising his role as Sir Charles Lytton.
