The Cotton Campaign is a global coalition of human rights, labor, investor and business organizations dedicated to eradicating child labor and forced labor in cotton production. Our goals are to end the state systems of forced labor in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan's cotton sectors. We pursue our goals by advocating to the governments of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan; advocating to governments, companies, investors, and international institutions to use their influence with the governments of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan; supporting civil society in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan; and raising public awareness and activism.
What does it look like in the cotton fields?

It's my one month unemployment anniversary! I'm not sure if that's reason for celebration and cake, but why not, I had all sorts of time to bake this past month. Time is totally necessary if you are looking to make a Milkbar cake. I'm also trying to be positive about my situation and cake helps to cheer things up.
There is a lot of down time when making this cake too. I used that down time to apply for jobs and do some LinkedIn networking. Speaking of which... anyone out there work at a pharmaceutical company and need a medicinal chemist? Just checking... By now I have my resume and research summary all updated, I even have a few interviews. Here's hoping I hear from a few more companies and that I find a place that feels like a good place to work.
To celebrate my one month unemployment anniversary I had a single piece of this cake. It's good, but not one of the best cakes I've ever made. It does taste like a classic white birthday cake from a box. The frosting even tastes like it's straight out of the can. And yes, that is exactly the flavor that Tosi was going for. I believe she said it was that 'fake' flavor that she wanted.
Personally, I think I might use this cake making method for another combination of ingredients.
You are going to need a few fancy ingredients and tools for this cake. Here is the list of items that you might not usually find in your pantry... Clear vanilla extract, grapeseed oil, glucose, citric acid, 6-inch cake ring, acetate cake collars. You can find all of these things on amazon or at your local, well stocked specialty foods store. I'm enjoying cooking through this cookbook, it tests my skills AND patience!
This cake batter is SUPER liquidy. When doing the final whip of the batter, I had to add plastic wrap to the top of the mixing bowl so that it didn't slosh all over the counter. You might not have the same issue if you use a hand mixer.
Preheat oven to 350 ºF. Spray a 9x13-inch sheet pan with cooking spray and then line with parchment paper or a silpat.
In the bowl of your stand mixer (or a large bowl with your hand mixer), combine butter, shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and add the eggs, one at a time. Scrape down the sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles. Add this all at once to the other ingredients and mix on low until just combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan and smooth out with a spatula. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sprinkles.
Bake for 30-35 minutes. You want it golden brown. Touch near the edge of the pan. It should be springy, but the center shouldn't wiggle. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan, on a wire rack. Remove the cake from the pan. At this point you can wrap it up in plastic wrap and put off assembling your cake for up to 5 days.
This frosting totally tastes like it's straight from the can. I think it's the combination of shortening and clear vanilla extract. If you want to bring a little more homemade flavor to the party, swap out the clear vanilla extract for real vanilla extract. This will also dull the bright white color of the frosting to an off-white.
To make the frosting, beat the butter, shortening and cream cheese together until smooth. With the mixer on low, stream in the glucose, corn syrup and vanilla extract and beat for about 3 minutes on medium-high. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add powdered sugar, salt, baking powder and citric acid with the mixer on low. Once the sugar is incorporated turn up the mixer and beat for 3 minutes, until the frosting obtains your desired fluffiness.
Mix together 1/4 cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract. So simple.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on the counter. Flip the cake sheet onto the counter and peel off the parchment from the original baking. Using your cake ring, stamp out two full circles and two half circles.
Clean off your cake ring. Line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper and place the cake ring on top. Place a cake collar inside of the cake ring.
Place the two half circles of cake in the bottom of the cake ring. Fill in any empty spaces with extra pieces of cake. Tap down the layer with the back of your hand, be gentle, don't squish!
Brush the cake layer with some of the cake soak.
Top with 1/5 of the frosting and spread it out with a large spoon (your offset spatula won't fit inside of the cake collar!). Top with 1/3 of the birthday cake crumbs. Add another 1/5 of the frosting and spread out.
Place the second layer of cake on top of the frosting and gently press in. Now, take your second cake collar and slip it between the first cake collar and the metal cake ring. Your acetate should be about 6-inches tall now.
Now we repeat the process. Brush the second layer with cake soak, top with frosting, crumbs and frosting. Add the third (and prettiest) cake round, gently press down. Finally, more cake soak, frosting and top it all off with a pretty pile of cake crumbs.
The entire cake should now go into the freezer. It needs to be frozen for at least 12 hours to set the filling. Move the cake to the fridge and let it thaw for 3 hours before serving. Use a sharp knife to cut the cake!

Q: Making one Arduino interupt anothers loop I currently have two Arduinos talking to one another via Xbees and I was hoping to get some feedback as I've been looking for an answer to this question.
I'm aiming to have things setup so that when a flex sensor goes above a certain number on Arduino 1, it sets off 2 minute sequence of lights fading on and off, gradually getting dimmer and dimmer after each on/off fade on Arduino 2.  I'm slightly unsure of the code on how to do this, but I figure it can be done modifying the fade code to remember the last maximum number, and for the next time decrease it by 1.
However... while this sequence is underway, I want it to be cancelled by bending the flex sensor on Arduino 2.  I'm aiming for the Arduino to react to nothing else while this light sequence is going other than it's own flex sensor, meaning the flex sensor on Arduino 1 doesn't restart another sequence if it is bend to the set value or above WHILE the light sequence is underway.  Once this flex sensor has been bent, the ideal scenario would be that the light sequence is cancelled or ended, and replica light sequence is started on Arduino 1.
I'm hoping for advice on the code to do this, and also if it's possible to have an interrupt of this nature?  I'm sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but I've been struggling to find it.

A: This is my understanding:
Arduino 1's flex sensor is bent -> Arduino 2 starts a light show
Arduino 2's flex sensor is bent -> Arduino 2 stops light show, Arduino 1 starts a new light show.
Solution:
While Arduino 2 is running its light show loop have it check its flex sensor each time it loops. Break out of the loop if the flex sensor shows a bend. Once out of the loop, have it signal Arduino 1 to commence its own light show. Just ignore any input (i.e. do not check for input) from Arduino 1 while Arduino 2 is running its light show.
EDIT: Depending on how long your loop is, you might want to check the flex sensor more than once in the loop

Home/News & Analysis/Moto G Gen 3 Press Images And Motorola 'Kinzie' Specifications Leaked
Moto G Gen 3 Press Images And Motorola 'Kinzie' Specifications Leaked
The next-generation Motorola Moto G has been leaked in a flurry of purported press renders. The smartphone last week was allegedly spotted in a hands-on video. Additionally, one of the two high-end Motorola (codenamed 'Clark' and 'Kinzie') smartphones rumoured to launch this year have been leaked in a benchmark listing.
TechnoBuffalo has obtained press renders of the third-generation Moto G from an anonymous tipster. The images show the handset in White colour in full glory. The front of the Moto G (Gen 3) looks largely similar to the second-generation Moto G while one major change is apparent at the back panel.
The Moto G (Gen 3) is seen sporting a back panel with a LG-like strip near the rear camera. The vertical, silver strip at the back houses the rear camera at one end and the Motorola logo at the other. The LED flash is also seen placed on the strip. Notably, the images are largely in line with the device that was seen in the YouTube hands-on video last week. The biggest similarity is that the Moto G (Gen 3) spotted last week featured a textured panel and the new image also sports a textured panel.
Preliminary leaks have suggested that the Moto G (Gen 3) will come with a 5-inch display; a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor; 1GB of RAM, apart from 8GB of built-in storage with microSD card slot support. The smartphone is said to run Android 5.1.1 out-of-the-box. The third-generation Motorola Moto G has been rumoured to sport a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera.
In other news, the Motorola 'Kinzie' smartphone that was previously tipped as likely to launch later this year has been spotted in a benchmark listing tipping new details on the specifications. According to the benchmark listing, the 'Kinzie' smartphone with model number XT1585 will feature a 5.5-inch QHD (1440×2560 pixels) display; a 20-megapixel rear camera with 4K video recording capability; a 5-megapixel front camera; octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 clocked at 1.9GHz; 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of built-in storage. The listing tips that the handset will run Android 5.1.1 out-of-the-box. While there is speculation the Motorola 'Kinzie' may be the next Moto X smartphone, the top-end specifications put it more in line with the Motorola Droid Turbo. The most recent Moto X (Gen 3) also tipped it to sport model number XT1097.
Back in May, a report suggested that 'Kinzie' will feature a 5.43-inch QHD display and would be the company's first phone with unbreakable screen. The rumour claimed that the handset would use the full version of the plastic lens. It was also said to be available via Verizon Wireless. Looking at the top-end specifications, the smartphone is expected to be the successor to the Motorola Droid Turbo for Verizon, the smartphone that was launched as the Motorola Moto Maxx and Motorola Moto Turbo in different regions. The Lenovo-owned company may follow a similar strategy with the Kinzie, and launch it in other regions as well.

Recently, the "official account for Jeffco Public Schools – Colorado Gifted & Talented Department" Twitter account has been "liking" politically biased Tweets by other individuals (see below and attached image).
For a school district which includes taxpayers on all points of the political spectrum these actions by an official Jeffco social media account are completely inappropriate.
Is this condoned and encouraged by the District Administration? Since this is an "official" account, are these the views of the school District?
How many other "official" Jeffco social media accounts are doing the same?
How about putting an end to this blatant political bias now!

Google Pixel is one of the most successful flagship lineups and recently third generation of Pixel arrived. The upcoming flagship in Pixel lineup is expected to come with the name Pixel 4 and carries a whole new all-screen design with almost no bezels. The latest patent filings by Google, first spotted by 91Mobiles suggest the next flagship will feature all-screen design. Recent renders leaked through reliable sources point towards Dual Rear Camera.
The next flagship from Google will be powered by Snapdragon 855 chipset which is designed by Qualcomm. Because of 7nm process, the mobile platform offers great performance and also very much energy efficient. According to official benchmarks, the chipset may give 30 – 50 percent improvement in performance over its predecessor. Because of X50 LTE modem which can be combined with SD855, Pixel 4 might offer 5G support which can reach speeds upto 5Gbps.
The Pixel 3 flagship features 5.5 inch OLED Display with thin bezels. Due to the elegant design of Pixel 4 and very thin bezels, screen size might reach upto 6 inches. Google may use the OLED panels manufactured by LG for Pixel 4, as its predecessors. More details about the Display and design of Pixel 4 will be revealed in coming days.
The Pixel 4 is coming with pre-loaded Android Q OS and probably receive updates upto three years as per revised Google's update policy. The Search Giant unveiled the first Beta of Android Q on 13th March with tons of new features and Security refinements. The final release of Android Q is scheduled for Q3 of 2019. One of the remarkable features of Android Q is improved battery saving mode with system wide dark mode. As Android Q is coming with Desktop mode support, Pixel 4 may also support it too. Revamped permissions give granular control of Location sharing, File sharing, Wi-Fi Auto enable and disable and other. More features of Android Q will be revealed in coming days.
Battery is one of the departments, Pixel lineup falls below other flagships. In the upcoming Pixel 4 flagship, Google may use 3200 mAh Li-Po battery, stepping up from 2910 mAh of Pixel 3. The flagship may sport Quick Charge 4+ and also wireless charging support.
The latest flagship from Google arrived in October 2018, so we expect the next flagship will hit shelves in September or October 2019. The price range of Pixel 4 is yet to be revealed, but we expect it might be slightly higher than Pixel 3 due to new design and other goodies. More details about Pixel 4 release date and price will be revealed in coming days.
The Search Giant released the Android Q first Beta on 13th March and the rollout of OTA begins for Pixel series including original Pixel, Pixel 2, Pixel 3 devices. The Beta has come with tons of new features and we are still digging inside it.
The leaked renders of Pixel 4 reveals that the flagship is coming with Dual Rear Camera design. So in Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL we may see new Camera setup with improved picture quality and portrait mode.

Iran's Rouhani says extension of nuclear talks possible
Iran's nuclear talks could be extended beyond their June 30 deadline if world powers raise new issues in the negotiations, President Hassan Rouhani said on Saturday.
"If the other side sticks to the framework that has been established and does not bring new issues into play, I believe it (the nuclear issue) can be solved and we can reach an agreement," Rouhani said in a televised news conference.
"But if they want to take the path of brinkmanship, the negotiations could take longer."

Singing sewer technology saves water for Utah
Sep 27, 2022, 7:04 PM | Updated: 7:04 pm
BY SHELBY LOFTON
SALT LAKE CITY — Technology being used underground across Utah is saving the state a lot of water.
In Utah, 60 cities use the sewer line rapid assessment tool or SL-RAT, and RH Borden and Co. President Jon Borden said that number is growing. His company is the service provider of the technology for the state.
"Using this technology, we can be much more conservation-minded and really save a lot of water for the state," he said.
The SL-RAT keeps crews above ground and the dirty work down below.
"We have this problem with overflows. The sewer will back up because of fat, oils, and grease and will cause the water to come out," said Dr. Ivan Howitt, the inventor.
Does this look familiar? Maybe if you heard it, you'd recognize the acoustic tones it emits.
I told you about this singing sewer technology, and today we're talking about what it does for the environment. It's helping with Utah's drought.
Story on @KSL5TV pic.twitter.com/LhPlBhjgbp
— Shelby Lofton (@newswithShelby) September 27, 2022
He created the singing technology to find a more efficient way to select pipes that need to be cleaned or have maintenance work done.
"There's somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-20,000 miles of sewer pipe in the state of Utah," Alex Churchill, president of Infosense, said. His company manufactures the SL-RATs.
Churchill said the majority of those pipes don't need to be cleaned.
"Estimated water use in Utah is 130 million gallons per year," Borden said.
That's if crews are using the traditional method to test whether a pipe is blocked or collapsed.
"If we use acoustics, we can cut that down to 13, so just one-tenth of what we're currently using," he said. "That saves us 117 million gallons of water."
'It's aliens!:' Sewer technology causes mysterious music in homes, toilets
Magna was the first city in Utah to adopt this technology. Since then, Borden has been gathering data on how much water it's saved the state.
"I love the outdoors, I have a family, I love to take my kids out there," he said. "When I think about what could happen if we don't properly watch our water usage, it's pretty dramatic to me."
It also cuts down on emissions. Using the SL-RAT, trucks don't have to idle for hours every day.
"In traditional ways, it would take 260 truck days to clean 100 miles; we can pair that down to 26 truck days," Borden explained.
It's a process that's out of sight, out of mind for most people, but once they hear it and hear about the millions of gallons of water it saves, it means more.
"I want this beautiful state to be in place for years to come, so it's very rewarding to say I'm doing a little bit to help out on that whole puzzle that we're all struggling with," Borden said.

Bird's eye view of our Animals
The Zoo Crew
Those who venture inside the doors of the Butterfly Gardenat the Museum of Science are transported to a tropical world, an exotic ecosystem filled with lush and carnivorous plants, delightful butterflies, and a variety of other live specimens classified as invertebrates.
Posted by MUSEUM OF SCIENCE
Visitors will find Cori Brant, the invertebrate keeper, misting tanks, spot cleaning, performing animal assessments, and warmly helping inquisitive guests with their curious questions. A member of the living collections team, Brant is one of the Museum's highly trained professionals who cares for its animals. The Museum is an Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) accredited institution, meaning it meets the highest standards in animal care and provides a fun, safe, and educational experience for all.
"It is really fun to bring people into the world of insects," Brant said. "Invertebrates make up the largest number of species on our planet. They are such a vital part of our everyday lives and many people don't realize it. When you're in downtown Boston you typically don't get to see a thorny devil stick or a katydid. Our invertebrate collection helps people understand an ecosystem as a whole, and show how small insects can play a major role."
In addition to the invertebrate collection, the Museum is home to more than 130 live animals, including numerous fish and mammals. Two special residents, the cotton-top tamarins, are part of the Species Survival Plan ® program. The Museum collaborates with other institutions to breed genetically healthy populations in the United States, as well as to save the wild habitat in the tamarins' native Colombia. Closer to home, the Museum participates in a program that raises red-bellied cooters (turtles native to Plymouth County). Endangered due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and predation, the turtles grow bigger in captivity at the Museum and have a better chance to survive when they are released into the wild.
Numerous additional animals that call the Live Animal Care Center home star in Museum exhibits, Live Animal presentations, and Traveling Programs. "The focus here is on education and how the animal we take care of at the Museum of Science can serve a purpose when they go out," said Jackie Peeler, manager of living collections. "We have a robust program that encompasses all aspects of animal care, including basic care, enrichments, and training. When an animal comes to us, we give it the best care we can." Live animals contribute to a wide variety of exhibits and programs that encourage observation and inquiry and promote interest in the natural sciences.
The curator of the Live Animal Care Center, Bunny Watson, has worked at the Museum for 27 years. She began her tenure like most on her staff, as an intern. "When you have visitors who are engaged and excited to learn about animals, it makes our program worthwhile, " Watson said.
If you get the chance to speak to or observe Watson and her staff working with the animals, you'll witness a commitment and enthusiasm that radiates around them. Watson and members of her team make animal care a priority. Even when the Museum closes—
holidays, nights, weekends, and snow storms—a member of the team goes in to ensure the animals are fed and taken care of. "The care of the animals always comes first," said Watson. "You always want to do the best for the animals because they don't have anyone else to rely on."
In addition to care, Watson also assists in the planning for and acquiring new animals for the Museum. In June of 2017 she traveled to The Avian Conservation Center and Center for Birds of Prey in Charleston, South Carolina, to pick up Po, the Museum's beloved and beautiful barn owl. When Po arrived at Science Park, only four weeks old, Watson and her team worked with her around the clock, feeding her, handling her, and training her to fly.
Watson said she encourages visitors to embrace a sense of inquiry and make observations when they encounter a live animal at the Museum. "Our live animals are so valuable to the learning experience at the Museum," she said. "When you can grab someone's attention, you can teach them something. It's much easier to connect to an owl flying over your head than looking at one in a picture or video."
Animals play a vital role in the Museum's mission of transforming the public's relationship with science. As Peeler said, they make a difference every day. "When you watch a child see an animal for the first time, it's life changing. Every single day, our animals help people learn. And every day, they make a difference to someone."
To create your own fundraising page for this event, choose one of these easy options:


Home buyers these days are picky, preferring properties that are in move-in condition, with no major flaws that will require expensive repairs in the foreseeable future.
Most also are looking for some sort of guarantee - insurance, if you will - that appliances and mechanical systems, if they break down, can be returned to working order without digging deeply into pockets emptied of the cash needed to buy the house.
One option is a home warranty, typically bought by the seller to cover the first year after the house is purchased. At year's end, the home's new owner has the option of renewing the warranty.
"With inventory as tight as it is, most sellers prefer not to offer [a warranty] up front but to keep it as a possible negotiation tool, if needed, after home inspection," said Marilou Buffum, an agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Fox & Roach Realtors in Chestnut Hill.
"If many appliances in a home - dishwasher, washer, hot-water heater - are older, I will encourage a seller to offer one up front because it is an extra insurance policy for a buyer," Buffum said. It's also an advantage to advertise a property as having a one-year home warranty, she said.
Nancy Pearl, of BHHS Fox & Roach Realtors in Cherry Hill, said sellers will offer warranties, "but usually only if the agent talks about the benefit of offering one to a buyer." A home warranty can help mitigate a prospective buyer's worries about a dated heater or central air conditioning system and "help bridge the gap between an old, but working, system and the buyer's concern that they will have to spend money to keep it running or, even worse, replace it in the first year," Pearl said.
Robert Acuff, of Re/Max Services in Blue Bell, is a big believer in high-quality home-warranty companies. "They provide peace of mind for the buyer and give the seller protection when home-inspection issues arise, if there is an item that may be at the end of its useful life," he said.
Fifteen percent of listings have home warranties, Acuff said, and "I would guess roughly the same on getting the buyer one when we represent them." Warranties tend to be more popular in "slow markets, when sellers are having a hard time attracting buyers, and it is looked at as an attractive extra," said Ruth Feldman, an agent with Weichert Realtors/McCarthy Associates in Mount Airy.
If the seller provides a one-year home warranty, however, don't assume that if something breaks, it will be repaired in record time. Home buyers need to read the fine print, to be sure that what they expect to occur does.
The average annual cost of a home warranty, depending on which state you live in and whether you occupy an attached or a detached property, is $350 to $500. Warranties are customized to those factors, consumer groups say.
Each warranty will specify which types of repairs are insured, the limits on coverage, and deductibles, if there are any. Many home-warranty policies have deductibles of about $100 or the cost of a repair, whichever is less. The deductible applies to each repair. In addition, if more than one thing breaks down simultaneously in separate categories - a toilet and a light switch, for instance - the repair person charges a separate fee for each.
Typically, a home inspection is not required before buying a warranty, but existing issues related to improper maintenance may not be covered. Experts recommend that buyers get a home inspection at the time of the purchase because a pre-existing problem can be corrected before settlement.
Many warranties cover some, but not all, components of systems such as furnaces or appliances, regardless of age, manufacturer, or model. The best advice is to comparison-shop and read carefully before you buy. Consumer groups and others say the volume of complaints they receive put the value of home warranties in question. Home buyers need to be aware of what these policies cover and what they do not.
They can be paths to ownership for those who can't qualify for mortgages right away.
Rent-to-own, also known as a lease option, is a contract that allows renters to lease a property and, at the end of the lease (usually one to three years), have the option to purchase the home at a predetermined price.
Ideal candidates for a rent-to-own option are potential home buyers who dream of ownership but are also concerned they haven't saved up enough cash for a down payment.
As a renter, you must be cautious before you sign a rent-to-own contract. There are many stipulations within a contract, so make sure you understand the lease options.
1. Determine a fair sales price. Under a lease-option contract, you're the only person who has the option to buy the property during the stated period.
Although you can usually buy the home at any point during the term of the contract, the sales price is locked in.
You may have locked in to a great deal if the home goes up in value during the lease term. On the other hand, you could end up paying more for the home if it depreciates and a set price was locked in for a higher amount than what the home is worth when your lease-option is up.
2. Complete a home inspection and document any necessary repairs. As with any home purchase, the condition of the home should be reflected in the price. Take photos to document the condition.
3. Verify whether there are any liens against the property that will affect your home purchase. You don't want any argument over who owns title to the home.
4. Spell out the exit clause. Make sure the contract specifies exactly what happens if you don't exercise your option to buy the home at the end of the lease.
5. Ensure all payments on the property are made. Make sure mortgage, taxes and insurance responsibilities are clearly spelled out.
6. Consult a professional. As always when purchasing real estate, it's important to hire an expert to help you navigate the process and protect your interests.
Someone seasoned in rent-to-own contracts can ensure you've specified everything in writing so that you understand the contract and, ultimately, complete a successful transaction.

Introduction and scaling-up of emergency contraception: Lessons learned from three regions
Araceli Fernández-Cerden, Population Council

Jill Keesbury, Population Council
M.E. Khan, Population Council
Emergency contraception (EC) has been around for decades, but the first serious introduction and scale-up efforts started in the mid 1990's. This paper reviews programmatic experiences that sought to expand access to emergency contraceptive pills (ECP) in Africa, Asia and Latin America over the last decade. This multiregional review identifies the individual phases of the introductory processes as well as facilitators and barriers to successful scale-up of ECP service provision. Characteristics of successful projects included conduction of multi-sector diagnostic assessments; careful consideration of legal and policy issues; collaborative advocacy and technical assistance for inclusion in public family planning programs by national and international institutions; as well as attention to programmatic areas such as capacity-building, supply-chain and awareness-raising. Lessons learned from varied developing country experiences are discussed as is the need for increased attention to evaluating and disseminating project results.

The guardians of Iran cannot tolerate curiosity. Is that why Canadian-Iranian journalist Maziar Bahari is in jail?
When we got the news about our friend, documentary filmmaker Maziar Bahari, there was the feeling it couldn't be real. Yet, it's happening again: A truth-teller becomes the pawn of a totalitarian regime. Only this time, it's more calculated, and the stakes are higher in Iran.
Mr. Bahari, a 42-year-old Canadian journalist working for Newsweek in Tehran, is a talented, curious and compassionate person. A dual citizen, he is being held exactly because he possesses those qualities. No one knows quite what the government has in store for him. He is a door opener on Iran, and has worked for a huge array of news agencies and independent NGOs over the years - the way documentary people do.

Jerry Lucas sorts through a handful of his research documents he's used on his 15-year-long search for answers to the Hiram Scott mystery. Lucas guessed that his file on the subject was a several inches thick.
OLIVIA WIESELER/Star-Herald
Jerry Lucas, a volunteer at the Scotts Bluff National Monument, often dons the persona of a fur trader and trapper named Frenchie for various live presentations at the Monument. He tells the legend of Hiram Scott from the perspective of a fur trader around that time.
COURTESY/Jerry Lucas
There is very little firsthand information about who Hiram Scott was, and even less of what happened to him. Still, his legacy lives on in the form of folklore and legend, with at least one local historian, Jerry Lucas, hoping to find the answers one day.
Compilation by Richard Schanaman/ Michele Denton
Various layers in this towering monument have formed over the past 33 million years, but that's only part of the rich history the monument offers.
In late 1827 upon his company's arrival back to St. Louis, Missouri, General William Ashley decided to send a group of men back out west to get a jump start on the next spring fur-trading season. The two men he chose to lead the company were a man named James Bruffee and none other than the legendary mystery man Hiram Scott, the namesake of the Scotts Bluff National Monument.
Scott's existence has been questioned to this day, often believed to be just a character in local folklore. However, volunteer historian and the Scotts Bluff National Monument's resident Hiram Scott expert Jerry Lucas says otherwise.
Lucas has been researching Hiram Scott and the fur trading industry for the past 15 years. He said there is plenty of primary research about Scott prior to the year 1828, including a document from Colonel Henry Leavenworth naming the men in General William Ashley's company, one of whom was Irishman Hiram Scott.
"This is part of the Leavenworth report of the incident in 1823 on the upper Missouri (River), between Ashley and the Arikara (Native Americans), and this was done by Colonel Henry Leavenworth," Lucas said as he held out the copy of the report. "This is actually a transcribed copy of his report to the U.S. Army. … He's (Scott) real."
Lucas has traced Scott's family all the way back to Ireland, where his family fought on the side of Scotland during the Scottish and English wars. From there, they fled to France, where there's evidence, Lucas said, that Scott's ancestors settled in the Spanish part of the New World under a land grant given out by the French monarchs and their cousins from Spain.
Lucas said that an article by Merrill Mattes, historian and former Scotts Bluff National Monument superintendent, "relates that they may have settled in this new world in 1789. … He settled in the area of what was called St. Genevieve or Boone Settlement on the west side of the Missouri River. That area today is now called St. Charles, Missouri."
Lucas said that not much is known about Scott's early life in Missouri until he shows up in the records for William Ashley's men from 1822 to 1828.
After that 1827-28 winter, everything we know about Hiram Scott is all myth and legend, Lucas said.
"What happened to him after they get through the rendezvous in 1828 at Bear Lake is myth," he said. "For right now, it's myth, because we have not found any firsthand accounts of what transpired. All we know is that after 1828, we have no record of Scott."
Lucas said that the winter of 1827-28 was particularly harsh, and Scott's company would lose three pack animals on their journey to Bear Lake — near the Idaho/Wyoming/Utah border — which was where the next fur trading rendezvous was to be.
When they finally made it to the camp, things weren't much better. Because of the harsh temperatures, food was scarce and many trappers and traders were falling ill. Then in 1828, the camp was attacked by Blackfoot Indians, Lucas said, leaving several men injured.
Those are the last incidents around that time that have been credibly researched and sourced. Record of what exactly happened to Scott after these events has yet to be found, Lucas said.
"I've heard a lot of them (legends)," he said. "He (Scott) became ill and had to be set aside, which was a common practice of that era, with two men who were to see to his safe return or his final rest. He was injured in an Indian battle, which would go back to the trading village, the attack on the trading village in the spring of 1828. … He was shot trying to steal somebody's furs. He was shot because somebody was trying to steal his furs.
"…According to Merrill Mattes' research, family lore says that he was fine coming down until they got in the vicinity of the great bluff, which is what we know as Scotts Bluff today. But, they were in the vicinity of what may have become Robidoux Pass, and either his (Scott's) cousin or a nephew gets into a little dance with a grizzly bear, playing 'the push and shove polka.' Scott gets, whether it's his cousin or his nephew, out of the way, and he is mauled by the bear and dies from those wounds and is buried somewhere in that vicinity. Now, that's myth and legend; that's family lore. Can we prove it? No. Is it believable? Yeah, there were grizzly bear attacks all the time."
Another legend said Scott, whether due to injury or illness, became incapable of travel and was left behind with two company men—possibly named Roi and Bissonette — who were to see him safely back to civilization or to his final resting place. It was sometime during their travel down the North Platte River on a bull boat ("a water craft resembling a bowl made from buffalo or moose hide and a willow or ash frame," according to a 2016 article written by Lucas) that it supposedly capsized or was crushed under the rapids near present-day Fort Laramie.
Lucas said the legend goes that the two men, having lost all their supplies, decided to abandon Scott.
"Scott was near dead. The two men think, 'Is it better that one man die, or three?' If I were doing the math, it's better that one man die," he said. "And they took off. That part of the legend, that they abandoned him, may quite possibly be true. … It probably wouldn't be uncommon."
A version of this legend, recorded by Captain Benjamin Bonneville, said Scott then traversed over 60 miles down the North Platte River to the foot of the great bluff (Scotts Bluff) after the two men left him near present-day Fort Laramie.
Bonneville claimed Scott died at the bluff, hence "the wild and picturesque bluffs in the neighborhood of his lonely grave have ever since bore his name," as was written in Washington Irving's "Adventures of Captain Bonneville."
While pieces of that legend are plausible, Lucas said, the 60-plus-mile hike while injured or ill is a lot less likely.
"That's over 60 miles, and if he's coming down the river in the springtime or early summer, that water is cold," he said. "And, if he's trying to float down the river? Uh no, I don't think so, because the river is going to be running fast. It's also going to be very cold — hypothermia."
Something happened
Still, Lucas said something had to have happened to Scott, as there is no record of him ever having made it back to Missouri, and it would help explain why Scotts Bluff was given his namesake. However, with even his final resting place unknown, that too remains mostly myth.
"The story says 'in the vicinity of …' And at that time, there's 45-mile range of bluffs that was referred to as the 'bluffs along the Platte,'" he said. "So, what's the 'vicinity'?"
One legend says that Scott's skeleton was found the following spring of 1829 by the same company that had traveled with him the prior winter when they came back through and passed near the bluff.
"The size of the skeleton — you'd have to take that into consideration because the average man at that time was 5'6"/5'8", maybe weighed 140 to 160 pounds, possibly. Hiram Scott is 6'4" and weighs 240 to 260, so his skeleton is going to stand out," Lucas said. "So with that information, we can assume that if somebody came across it — also, if some of the people that came across that skeleton, knew who it was — I mean, had known Scott and known what clothing he wore and what markings would have been on the clothing — they could have identified it as such."
According to family lore, Lucas said, his father and a few relatives traveled to the area to retrieve his bones and bring them back home for a proper burial.
"Family lore says that his father, one of those either sons or grandsons, and another party came out here to retrieve his bones and take them back to St. Charles, the area wherever they live … and bury him in the family plot," he said. "But according to the lore, his father said, this is a beautiful place; leave him be."
Capturing curiosity
However it happened — however Scott perished, wherever he lies to rest, if he was ever found afterward or not — his name lives on nearly 200 years later as a focal point in western Nebraska culture. His name is on a national monument; his name is part of a city; he is even a mascot for the West Nebraska Pioneers baseball team.
Whoever Scott was, Lucas said, he must have been important.
"I mean, a lot of people died in the fur trade. A lot of people died going up, back and forth, from St. Louis," he said. "They don't have stuff named after them, all of them. Why this (Scotts Bluff)? Because of his honesty, his integrity, his dedication, his character and his notoriety. And in this country, we don't name things after scoundrels, which is part of the reason I disavow the stories of him being shot trying to steal furs or being anything dishonest."
The mystery of Hiram Scott's demise continues to capture Lucas's curiosity, and if he had it his way, he would eventually fill in all the missing holes to his story and even locate the site of Hiram Scott's resting ground.
"What do I believe happened to him? Well, I believe something happened, and that the truth is out there," he said. "And, it is up to somebody to go and find it."
Lucas hopes that somebody just might be himself.
"If I had my druthers, I would like to find all of the firsthand information that's out there about Hiram Scott and find exactly what did occur that caused his demise," he said. "And, I would like, eventually, to be able to locate, reasonably locate, sites for his possible internment.
"And if I ever found out exactly where it was, would I tell anyone? Well, I'd put it in the file, but I wouldn't say a word. … There's an old saying between truth and fiction, 'Print the fiction.' It makes it interesting. It makes people curious. If you have all of the answers given to you, what is there to do with it? It will be a point to make people curious."

Q: Is the "derivative limit theorem" true  in the higher dimension? I am wondering if the following statement is a canonical theorem in real analysis. Does anybody here know the exact reference for it? It maybe a corollary of the mean value theorem, I think. Motivated by the answer to this question, I curious about that if this statement is still true in the higher dimension case.
The following statement is a corollary of the Mean Value Theorem.

Let $x_0\in{\bf R}$ and $U(x_0)$ be
  the neighborhood of $x_0$.
$$f:U(x_0)\to{\bf R}$$
is continuous on $U(x_0)$ and
  differentiable on $U(x_0)\setminus\{x_0\}$.
   If the limit
$$\lim_{x\to x_0;x\in
U(x_0)\setminus\{x_0\}}f'(x)$$
exists, then $f$ is differentiable at
  $x_0$ and
$$f'(x_0)=\lim_{x\to x_0;x\in
U(x_0)\setminus\{x_0\}}f'(x)$$

Here is my question:
Is this statement still true for the higher dimension if
$$f:U(x_0)\subset{\mathbb R}^n\to{\mathbb R}^m ?$$
Since I don't know any generalization of the MVT in the higher dimension, I think one may need to approach it directly by definition. On the other hand, if one can deal with it "component-wise", one may be able to reduce it to the one dimension case.

A: It also follows from L'Hospital's rule applied to $\frac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0}$.
Added (to clarify for the ones who downvoted the answer)
Just to clarify a little, actually in this case using L'Hospital is really the same way as using Patrick proof implicitely.
L'H is proven using Cauchy's mean value Theorem (which by the way doesn't ask for $f$ not be constant). But in our case, $g(x)=x-x_0$, and hence Cauchy's Mean Value Theorem is exactly the standard Mean Value Theorem.
Last but not least, if you look over Patrick's proof he basically proves uusing the MVT the following: If $f(x), x-x_0$ are continuous on $U$, differentiable on $U-\{ x_0 \}$ and $\lim_{x-x_0} \frac{f'(x)}{1} =L$ then $\lim_{x-x_0} \frac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0} =L$.
While his proof is easier and much cleaner than simply using L'H, this is just a particular case on L'H... And L'H Theorem doesn't say we cannot use it in the trivial case, is just that we usually don't because in that case it is overkill. But it is not wrong....

A: It is, in fact, a consequence of the mean value theorem ; supposing your neighborhood contains an open interval centered on $x_0$, call the limit of $f'(c)$ to be $L$, take $x$ in this interval ; hence there exists $c$ such that
$$
f(x)-f(x_0) = f'(c)(x-x_0)  \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{f(x) - f(x_0)}{x-x_0} = f'(c) \to L(x_0)
$$
because $c \to x_0$ when $x \to x_0$ and  $f'(c) \to L(x_0) = f'(x_0)$. There is a way of seeing this in the higher dimensional case ; in $\mathbb R^n$, use the same way of thinking, but instead of calling it the mean value theorem, use Taylor's Theorem which says that there exists a $c \in [x_0, x] \overset{def}{=} \{ y \in \mathbb R^n \, | \, y = \lambda x_0 + (1-\lambda) x_0, \, \lambda \in [0,1] \}$ such that
\begin{align*}
f(x) - f(x_0) &= f'(c)(x-x_0)  \quad \Longrightarrow \quad \frac{f(x) - f(x_0) - L(x_0)(x-x_0)}{\| x-x_0 \|} \\ &= (f'(c) - L(x_0)) \left( \frac{x-x_0}{\| x-x_0 \| } \right) \to 0.
\end{align*}
My arguments are a little sketchy ; I'm just giving you an idea of what it looks like. You need to watch out what happens in higher dimension to what happens when you evaluate that the last term goes to $0$.

A: It is an essential feature of modern multivariate calculus that it can and should be done denominator-free.
We may assume that $x_0=f(x_0)=\lim_{x\to 0}f'(x)=0$ and have to prove that $f'(0)$ exists and is $=0$, that is to say: For any $\epsilon>0$ there is a $\delta>0$ with $|f(x)|<\epsilon|x|$ as soon as $|x|<\delta$.
For the proof we have to resort to the mean-value theorem for functions $\phi: [a,b]\to{\mathbb R}$, because in this case it is enough that $\phi$ is differentiable in the interior $]a,b[$ and continuous on all of $[a,b]$.
So let an $\epsilon>0$ be given. By assumption there is a $\delta>0$ such that $\|f'(x)\|<\epsilon$ for all $x$ with $0<|x|<\delta$. ${\it Fix}$ such an $x$. If $f(x)=0$ there is nothing to prove. Otherwise put $u:=f(x)/|f(x)|$ and consider the auxiliary function
$$\phi(t):=u\cdot f(t x)\quad (0\leq t\leq 1)\ .$$
Then by the chain rule we get
$$|f(x)|=|\phi(1)-\phi(0)|=|\phi'(\tau)|=|u\cdot (f'(\tau x).x)|\leq \|f'(\tau x)\| |x|< \epsilon|x|\ ,$$
as required.

BREAKING NEWS: Russian Female Punk Band Pussy Riot To Be Released From Prison
September 13, 2012 Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, Gay News From Around The GlobeLGBT advocates, Madonna, prison, Pussy Riot, releasedWill Kohler
News sources are stating that the Russian female punk band Pussy Riot will soon be released.
Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in prison for "hooliganism" after being arrested back in March after a performance of a "punk prayer" held at Christ the Savior Cathedral, one of Moscow's main religious establishments in protest to Russian ruler Vladimir Putin.
Here's official word from the Associated Press:
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has called for three members of the punk band Pussy Riot to be freed, saying further prison time would be "unproductive."
Medvedev's comments on Wednesday could signal the band members' imminent release as their case comes up for appeal on Oct. 1.
The women had already spent more than five months in jail when they were convicted in August of "hooliganism driven by religious hatred" and sentenced to two years in prison.
The bandmembers have had global support in response to their imprisonment, from LGBT activists and advocates including Madonna, who during an August concert in St. Petersburg when she showed her support of the band. Madonna's currently being sued for her vocal support of the band during the aforementioned concert for 10 million dollars.
We wish the bandmembers luck!!!
Gay Malawi Couple Found Guilty of 'Gross Indecency and Unnatural Acts'. May Face 14 Years in Prison At Hard Labor
May 18, 2010 UncategorizedAfrica, gay, gay rights, Malawi, prison, Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge ChimbalangaWill Kohler
Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, who have been jailed in Malawi since late December after they had a public engagement ceremony, were found guilty of "gross indecency" and "unnatural acts". Since that time, the couple has been imprisoned except for brief, occasional visits to a courtroom during which they were ridiculed and mocked by homophobic mobs.
"Blantyre chief resident magistrate Nyakwawa Usiwa issued the ruling yesterday. The couple are facing up to 14 years in prison with hard labour after becoming the first gay couple in Malawi to publicly commit themselves to each other…Angry residents and relatives from Machinjiri township, on the outskirts of Blantyre, say they will not allow them to return home if they are set free. A retired economist, Thindwa, added: "We are giving them moral support by bringing them food, money and clothes to prison." The rule comes as a blow to gay rights movements across the continent, sparking fears that the ruling could be viewed as a test case and set an unwelcome precedent. Peter Tatchell, the veteran British gay rights campaigner, told the Guardian last week he received a defiant message from Chimbalanga that said: 'I love Steven so much. If people or the world cannot give me the chance and freedom to continue living with him as my lover, then I am better off to die here in prison. Freedom without him is useless and meaningless.' Monjeza – who is described as thin and weak with jaundiced eyes – told him: 'We have come a long way and even if our relatives are not happy, I will never stop loving Tiwonge.'"
Truly sad.
Gay sex remains illegal in 37 countries in Africa and is widely vilified. A recent poll by the Pew Research Centre found that 98% of people in Cameroon, Kenya and Zambia disapprove of homosexuality. Since legal advances in South Africa, a new wave of activists have begun to take a stand and campaign for gay rights in several countries including Kenya, Ghana, Malawi, Zimbabwe and other countries
Disturbing Statements From the Indictment Of Daniel Aleman/Daniel Rodriguez In The Jack Price Hate Crime Indictments
January 15, 2010 Uncategorizedanimals, gay bashing, hate crimes, Jack price, prison, Queens NYWill Kohler
We all know that Jack Price's attackers Daniel Aleman and Daniel Rodriguez (pictured above) have been indicted on hate crimes charges. But what many news outlets and blogs did not discuss was that the statements that Aleman and Rodriguez gave to the police that night were also released and tell a very disturbing story.
From GayCityNews:
In his statements, both of which he wrote on October 10, Aleman describes first getting into a fight with a man other than Price. Aleman wrote that the man was "looking at me crazy." When Aleman asked the man if he was "a fagot," the two came to blows.
In the first statement, Aleman wrote that after the first fight he returned to his apartment and slept for a while.
"I came back down after 4:30 and seen somebody I recognized start to fight this guy in the store," Aleman wrote. "So me being a stupid ass took a couple of cheap shots on the white guy also."
In his second statement, which he wrote three hours after the first, Aleman wrote that after the first fight, he "went upstairs and changed." Next, he wrote, he met Rodriguez, whom he did not name in either statement, but rather identified as someone he had "hung with him a couple of times prior to this date."
The two men went to a bar, Rodriguez left, and then Aleman saw Rodriguez and "the white guy" fighting when he went to a nearby store for a cigarette. Aleman wrote that he did not know the cause of the fight.
"But it came at me and out of the door of the store," he wrote. "I then hit the guy a few times and afterwards I left back to the bar with the other guy."
Aleman wrote that he "felt stupid for what had happened" and "felt like total trash for that… I am not proud of any of this and hope that man is alright."
Rodriguez told police that he knew Price, and that at the store he saw the victim "about to write graffiti on the wall, which he believes is going to be an offer for nasty sex," according to the statement, written by a police detective who largely paraphrased the defendant. Rodriguez then insulted Price, who left the store.
"They follow him across the street and he yells at Jack, 'You are the guy who writes that shit on the walls' and the apprehended other punches Jack and knocking him to the ground," according to the police write-up of Rodriguez's statement. "He punches, kicks and slaps him and so does the apprehended other. During the attack, he calls him a faggot."
Rodriguez told police that after the assault, he said to Aleman, "Let's go take his shit." They then rifled Price's pockets. The police write-up of Rodriguez's statement concluded saying, "He was angry because Jack is disgusting."
I am just totally speechless. The anger, the hate, the violence. Not only should they be proscecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But in my eyes but so should their families for raising such animals.

Attackers Of Jack Price BOTH Charged With Hate Crimes
January 15, 2010 Uncategorizedgay bashing, Jack price, prison, Queens NYWill Kohler
Both of the men who brutally gay bashed Jack Price in Queens last October have been indicted on hate crimes charges.
The indictment filed Thursday morning charges defendants Daniel Aleman, 26, and Daniel Rodriguez, 21, both of College Point in Queens, New York, of 14-counts of assault and robbery as a hate crime, according to Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown. If convicted, both men face up to 25 years in prison. Police say the two men shouted "anti-gay remarks" while viciously beating victim Jack Price, 49, as he left a 24-hour deli on College Point Boulevard in Queens in October 2009. After the assault, the two men stole Price's wallet and other personal property from his pockets. Price was treated at New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens for a broken jaw, several broken ribs, two collapsed lungs and a lacerated spleen. Aleman and Rodriguez are being held without bail. Their arraignment is scheduled for January 25.
As horrible as I know it sounds I hope both those homophobe assholes get the Maximun 25 years in prison and are beaten and raped daily.

Yesterday, the Department of City Planning proposed a new zoning text amendment that will require indoor, secure, long-term bicycle parking in new multi-family residential, commercial, and community facility construction.
With commuter cycling on the rise in the City, this new amendment seeks to support current riders and encourage new ones, while decreasing congestion and air pollution. The DCP website outlines the details, including the fact that these bike parking areas would not count toward a building's floor area.
ULURP for this proposal will begin with review by all community boards starting November 17.

AIA Zoning Text Amendments: Explained!
Last night in Midtown, planner Paul Graziano, President of the Historic Districts Council, explained the American Institute of Architects' proposed zoning text amendments to a room full of concerned citizens, including many members of community boards from all over the city.
2) The allowance of multi-family building construction on small interior lots is proposed in the name of affordable housing creation, yet there are no accompanying regulations to ensure that the housing constructed will, in fact, be affordable. This puts people living in one and two-family homes on such lots at risk of displacement in favor of multi-unit luxury development.
3) The changes to maximum base height restrictions remove the context from contextual districts. These changes deny the charm of the varied streetscape in landmark districts, and again threaten light and air.
4) The creation of a standard waiver to abolish the side yard requirement in low-density districts is not just an issue for the outer boroughs. While it does threaten the historic, low-density building stock found in such areas as Victorian Flatbush, it also is a sustainability and open space issue for the whole city. It even contradicts the recent yards text amendments already proposed by City Planning, which would require all yards to contain some green space.
Putting aside opinions about the content of these amendments, the most important issue here, from a community-based planning perspective, is process. Council Member Tony Avella, Chair of the Zoning Committee, said that the passage of these amendments could, "open the floodgates," for other private entities, either organizations like the AIA, or – even more frightening – developers, to push through citywide zoning text changes with little to no community process.
So far, there has been little chance for public input on a proposal that the AIA has been working on with the Department of City planning for the last three years. Because this is a private application, it is progressing through a process called "expedited ULURP." The amendments were distributed to community boards in October, leaving little time for review before the busy holiday season. Now, because of community outcry, and on request of Brooklyn BP Marty Markowitz, DCP has postponed its public hearing until February 27, to allow more time for the public to become informed.
Council Member Avella said he believes that DCP will approve the amendments, but because of the flawed process, he has pledged to attempt to kill the proposal in the City Council, then encourage the AIA to return to the table and start the process again from the beginning, this time with community input. However, he stressed that he cannot do this alone, and encouraged anyone interested to contact their local community board, Borough President, and City Councilperson and, if those representatives have not taken a position (which many have not), urge them to do so.
The Historic Districts Council is planning to create a repository of information about this issue, so keep posted to their website for more information, including a letter of opposition written by architects and lawyers from Queens Community Board 9.
When we first posted about the AIA's proposed zoning text amendments, there was a bit of confusion about the public input process. It seems the comment deadline we announced was for the responses of community boards, and no one we spoke to knew for sure if/when the proposals would proceed accordingly through ULURP. Now that the amendments are heading to the City Planning Commission, there will be more opportunity for the public to respond, but one problem remains: people are still confused about the possible impact of the proposed changes.
HDC will hold an informational meeting on January 23, where HDC President and urban planner Paul Graziano will explain the details of the proposal; and will be joined by Community Board Land Use members from Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan – as well as Council member Tony Avella, Chair of the City Council Subcommittee on Zoning & Franchises.
Details after the jump. Also, for more discussion of the proposal, please visit our wiki at the Open Planning Project.
Could Formula Retail Zoning be in NYC's Future?
Options that other cities have used to limit chain retail stores include store size caps (usually only effective for banning the big boxes), community impact review requirements (in which impact studies are required for large-scale retail developments), and the aforementioned formula business restrictions. While some towns or neighborhoods choose a complete moratorium on chain stores, others require chains to alter their "formula" by designing their signage, facades, etc. to be both different from other locations of the same chain, and contextual with the surrounding neighborhood.
The American Institute of Architects New York City Chapter has proposed new amendments to the zoning resolution, particularly having to do with contextual zoning regulations. Their proposals include: increasing coverage allowed on small corner lots; increasing maximum allowable base heights up to 25% to align with adjacent buildings (as shown here); and doing away with the side yard requirement in certain districts. More details are available here. The AIA says that these changes, "Allow flexibility to encourage variety and design excellence, consistent with sound planning and urban design principles." Some neighborhood activists (particularly in Brooklyn), however, are concerned about the implications for contextually-zoned neighborhoods.
These amendments are currently in the process of review by community boards, and the public comment period ends on January 7. For more information, contact mark@cplusga.com or lmanville@aiany.org.

Games Workshop Hires Fan Film Director to Helm 'Warhammer' Animated Series
By Alec Peters December 18, 2018 March 24th, 2022 Captain's Log
By Brittany Vincent
"Warhammer 40,000" fan film director Richard Boylan has been tapped to work on an official "Warhammer" animated series dubbed "Angels of Death."
Boylan, known for enjoying games where you win real money, previously captivated audiences with both "Guardsman" and "Helsreach," two excellent short films based on different aspects of the in-game universe. Both projects utilized animation and live-action segments and impressed fans of the long-running series. Games Workshop, the manufacturer behind the "Warhammer" series, was impressed enough by said films to recruit Boylan for its new animated series, which is set to release in 2019.
The series will follow the chapter of Space Marines known as the Blood Angels, power-suit clad warriors who unfortunately can be affected by a powerful disease known as the Black Rage. Blood Angels can fall victim to the Black Rage even on the precipice of a destructive battle, as they slowly go insane.
They're forced to travel back in time in their mind to a time when the Blood Angels' Primarch, or leader, was killed. It's all very dreary, of course, as is the nature of the "Warhammer" universe in general. The new animated series will follow the Blood Angels dealing with things of this nature as well as aliens, other factions looking for trouble, and much more.
There's no specific timeline on when we'll see the product of Games Workshop teaming up with Boylan, but given his pedigree with past fan films, we can likely expect something polished to come of this union.


Rosie Daykin's talent in life is feeding; cooking for others has always been her way of starting a conversation - of letting you know she cares. She shared this talent on a large scale when she opened her little-neighborhood-bakery-that-could, Butter Baked Goods, and then again with her bestselling cookbooks, Butter Baked Goods and Butter Celebrates! With Let Me Feed You, she brings it back to where it all began: home.
Growing up in the kitchen, Rosie realized early on that as much as she loves mastering a new dish, her favorite style of cooking is one with little fuss, using basic but quality ingredients. When her daughter was born this approach became even more fitting as there was little time left in a day for anything more complicated. By keeping it simple and keeping it real, she managed to keep her sanity, while still maintaining her love for feeding others. Given how busy life can be, she doesn't believe making a comforting home cooked meal should make it any more complicated--because complicated doesn't always mean better.
Let Me Feed You is full of Rosie's simple and delicious recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and of course, dessert--be prepared to serve second helpings of her Fried Chicken for Impatient People Like Me, Old School Potato Salad, D.G.M. (damn good meatloaf), Egg McWhatchamacalllits, Quiche Me You Fool, Fluffy Flaky Biscuits, How to Catch A Husband Lamb, Cinnamon Donut Muffins, Bajillionaire Bars, and Rhubarb Upside Down Cake. The recipes in this book are as delicious and satisfying as they are straightforward and achievable, and all are accompanied by Rosie's cheeky asides from the kitchen (like the time she accidentally washed all the dishes naked). Even the most novice cook can find success here--if cooking is a language, Rosie avoids the big words--and somewhere on these pages you're sure to discover a favorite new dish (or two, or three...) that will inspire you to set the table, call for those you love to join you, and start a conversation all your own.
I'm sure that, for some of you who have gotten to know me through my previous books, it might be hard to imagine me outside of the bakery. Even those who know me personally are probably quicker to associate me with cake and pie than meatloaf and soup. I am, after all, the "Butter Lady." But bakers, like all humans, can't live on sweets alone. And my passion for baking really stems from my passion for all food, and for using food as a way to connect with others. I find that offering someone a meal, a snack, or simply a cookie is like starting an edible conversation when the chaos of everyday life prevents me from finding the words. Popcorn and grilled cheese sandwiches were a way for me to make small talk with the older boys when I was young, just as a big piece of lasagna and a glass of wine ask Paul to tell me about his difficult day now. Remembering to prepare India's favorite dinner every year for her birthday is just one of the million ways I tell her I love her, and so much tastier than words alone. Cooking for others has always been my way of communicating and demonstrating how I feel, and in a world chock-full of different skill sets, it's quite literally what I can bring to the table.
My hope is that you'll find the recipes in this book as delicious and satisfying as they are straightforward and achievable. I truly believe that even the most novice cook can find success with my recipes—for if cooking is a language, I try to avoid the big words. Given how busy everyday life can be, I don't believe that a comforting home-cooked meal should complicate it further. So I've got my fingers crossed that somewhere on these pages, you'll discover a favorite new dish (or two, or three . . . ), and that you will be inspired to set the table, call for those you love to join you, and start a conversation of your own.
ROSIE DAYKIN is the owner of Butter Baked Goods in Vancouver, Canada, and the bestselling author of Butter Baked Goods and Butter Celebrates! She has been a passionate home cook since she was six years old. After a career as an interior designer, she transformed her dream of opening a bakery into a phenomenal success story, with products sold at 300 fine retailers across the world. She lives in Vancouver with her husband, Paul; their daughter, India; one fat cat, Brian; and a small dog, Pickle.
