Population Density 1: Do cities have a land area? And a literal use of the Joy Division map
I've been doing a lot of reading about population density cartography recently. With election-map cartography remaining a major issue, there's been lots of discussion of them: and the "Joy Plot" is currently getting lots of attention.
So I thought I'd finally post some musings I wrote up last month about population density, the built environment, and this plot I made of New York City building height:
This chart appears at the bottom of this post, but bigger!
One of the continuing strands is that cities have always present major challenges for population density mapping. The idea of population density, at heart, imagines humans as particles that repel each other on a surface; the intense aggregation of populations in a few cities are unnatural. Walker's maps of population density (1870) in the American west exclude cities with populations over 2500; August Petermann's maps of the British population for the 1851 census do the same. (Here's one of Petermann's).
So: cities are unnatural and don't really count when mapping ordinary human population density. I just encountered the most extreme enunciation of this problem in a book by Cornell professor Francis Willcox from 1897, Density and Distribution of Population in the United States at the Eleventh Census.
Density of population may be defined as the average number of human beings living on a unit of land surface. […] Rough volumetric measurements, such as the number of persons to a dwelling or a room, or the cubic feet of air per capita, are sometimes used in congested districts and notwithstanding the obvious objections to so vague a unit as a dwelling or room, they may give better results than the method in general use. For with modern advances in engineering, civilized people have become able to live or work at some distance above or below the surface, where the advantages of mines or cities assemble them. Under such circumstances the ratio of population to surface may be insignificant or misleading. [My emphasis]
So not only do cities present unnatural density; the widespread practice of building above or below ground means that there should be some other criteria of measuring density. Land area isn't constant but manipulable; build a two-story warehouse or dig a tunnel, and you've doubled the space for people to live in.
There are some interesting technical questions here. It got me wondering about a distorted cartogram that might distend areas not by population, but simply by surface area. Does it really make a difference?
To check, I downloaded a list of building footprints from nyc.gov and just ran some numbers on how many square feet of floor space. I assumed all buildings in the city had the same shape at the top floor as at the ground, which is spectacularly wrong–after the 1916 zoning code, most tall buildings were supposed to imitate the tiered floorplan of the Woolworth building–so this should be taken as an upper limit, not a description of fact. But the building stock in the city is old enough that I doubt it's an egregious overestimate: I'd guess, wildly, that this overstates floor space by five to thirty percent. (Even with this assumption, half of all floor space in the city is in buildings of five or fewer floors; I also assume that no buildings have basements, when in fact most do.)
So: how much building space is there in NYC? By my calculation, the answer comes out to about 225 square miles of indoor space; that's less than the land area of the city (300 sq mi). Which is to say: if you could tear up every piece of linoleum, concrete, and parquet from every floor above the first in Manhattan, you'd be able to lay each one on the ground on unbuilt space in the city's streets, parks, airports, and parking lots.
Subtract out first floors, and the built environment adds at most 164 square miles to the cities area, bumping it from 300 to 460 square miles. That's a lot in urban terms–construction has added to the surface of the city about the combined area of Brooklyn and Queens–but it's not an amount that would make any difference, in, say, a map of the national popular vote by area. So: even a century of development later, Willcox's critique doesn't argue for rethinking the denominator in population density.
Still, it suggests a kind of neat way of thinking about walking across the city. Suppose you were to start at the Hudson and walk due east across the city. Every time you encounter a multistory building, you walk over each floor exactly once. How much out of your way do you go?
This suggests a kind of interesting alteration of the "Joy Division" maps that have been popular since (at least) James Cheshire's great map of population by latitude. Those charts essentially do a double encoding scheme on the y axis: it means variation but also population. That's clever, but population height means nothing in the context of latitude and longitude.
Plotting extra land area instead of population adds the interesting additional constraint that there's an obvious connection between the primary scaling factor (latitude) and the secondary one (additional area). The additional distance in the latitude factor is on the same scale as the rest of the map.
It doesn't quite match the constraint that distance matches onto the length of travel you would go if walking across the city at that line; for that to be true, the heights should be cut in half, and there would need to be histogram bars so that at each point you climb up and then down again. (Or you could do it as a vibrating squiggle, setting both amplitude and frequency to get the line the right length–I'm curious enough about that one that I might run it.)

NY Giants vs. Patriots: Big night for Donte Deayon with two interceptions in roster push
Art Stapleton
EAST RUTHERFORD - New York Giants cornerback Donte Deayon was three minutes away from making the initial 53-man roster last season.
One of the team's most popular players had fielded numerous messages of congratulations on cut down day a year ago when he was blindsided with a change of plans.
The Giants were trading with the Steelers for cornerback Ross Cockrell, and their gain was Deayon's loss - he was being waived for the roster spot.
If Deayon doesn't make the team this weekend, it won't be because he left something to chance in Thursday's 17-12 preseason loss to the New England Patriots.
Deayon notched a pair of first interceptions in his quest for a spot. He wound up getting promoted to the active roster from the practice squad last year, but his second season ended just as his first did - on injured reserve.
"My mindset is to go out and make plays, but really, I just wanted to stay engaged and stay locked in the whole game and play with good technique," Deayon said. "When opportunities come, make the plays."
A likely spot the Giants will seek to upgrade this weekend via the waiver wire and free agency is cornerback, and more specifically, depth at the position behind projected starters Janoris Jenkins and Eli Apple, and veteran B.W. Webb, who would appear to be the front runner in the slot for nickel packages.
Deayon, undrafted rookie Grant Haley and Chris Lewis-Harris are all battling for spots, likely three guys for two spots (plus any other mystery candidates who end up as roster casualties this weekend). It's very likely Deayon clinched his spot with his picks.
A hamstring injury kept him out of the lineup for nearly three weeks of training camp, but Deayon has picked up where he left off in late July since his return.
His first interception was a beautiful over-the-head toe-tapper along the sideline, and his second was a great read as he baited Patriots quarterback Danny Etling on a crossing route.
Haley and Lewis-Harris also played well, with the former registering a pass breakup and playing well in coverage for much of the game. Lewis-Harris got the start and he was solid, too, save for a personal foul when he was whistled in the first quarter for a lowering the head penalty.
Deayon said he went into last year's preseason finale believing he had done enough. This time, he isn't taking anything for granted.
"I felt like I kind of laxed and it didn't sit well with me. I had a little sick feeling in my stomach," Deayon recalled. "Going into this game, I wanted to lock in, and got out there and give it my all. We'll see what happens. I won't be nervous. At this point, I put it all out on the table, I put my best foot forward. At this point, what happens, happens."
Rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta got the start for the Giants. Word is the Giants feel comfortable with what they have seen from Webb this summer and wanted to get an extended look at Lauletta, their fourth-round pick. Davis Webb is projected to be the backup to Eli Manning, but Lauletta's presence - and a good performance earlier this preseason against the Browns - has added some intrigue.
Lauletta went through ups and downs, throwing a touchdown and two interceptions. He showed good pocket awareness and made several strong throws on the move. Perhaps his best of the game came late in the second quarter when he ducked away from a sack, scrambled and fired a strike to tight end Jerell Adams, who dropped the pass.
Odell Beckham Jr. stopped in mid-stride during his pregame sprints near the 30-yard line, where he greeted Tom Brady and Julian Edelman with hugs and handshakes.
Never mind that was likely the highlight for the evening for three of the biggest stars inside MetLife Stadium on Thursday night for the preseason finale between Beckham's New York Giants and Brady's (and Edelman's) New England Patriots.
It was the first time in the building for Beckham since he signed his new six-year contract worth up to $95 million, but he - like Brady - did not play. His next game (and first since fracturing his ankle last October) will come Sept. 9 when the Giants open the regular season here against the Jacksonville Jaguars - the team the Patriots beat in January to reach Super Bowl LII, which they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Eli Manning also did not play for the Giants, and since he was not out taking usual warmups with his receivers, leaving the stage for Webb, Lauletta and Alex Tanney, that was about a good of a sign as any that he would be staying on the sideline.
As it turned out, Webb did not play, either.
Beckham got the chance to catch up with survivors of the Paramus school bus crash as the Giants continued their support of the children and the community. Manning and safety Landon Collins sent messages of encouragement early on following the tragedy in late May and Romeo Okwara visited with student Brendan O'Callaghan after the latter returned home from a stay in the hospital.
Tough break for Becton
OT Nick Becton has been quietly putting together a strong preseason, emerging as a possible reserve option for the line. He played right tackle against the Patriots on Thursday night and also saw time on the left side this summer.
Becton suffered an ankle injury late in the first half, though, and was ruled out of the game. The Giants did not play their starting offensive line and guard John Greco, with the trade of Brett Jones to the Vikings earlier this week, was at center. Greco will likely serve as the backup center to Jon Halapio in the wake of Jones' departure.

We cannot miss the 'fire play' among the list of the pleasures of camping. Romantic is the landscape in which the mood of your campfire wraps around your atmosphere indeed. But you need to pay attention. Did you know that campfire' that puts the fire on the ground is the main cause of environmental destruction? This is because the spores of bacteria killing the trees are usually grounded and dormant in the soil will emerge into a surface and germinate if a campfire or cooking cause the ground temperature to rise to 40 ~ 60 ℃.
So this should be avoided and thus you need to use the brazier and grill.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma: Multiphasic MDCT enhancement can predict the loss of chromosome 8p
Jonathan R Young, Daniel Margolis, Steven Sauk, Allan J. Pantuck, James Sayre, Jocelyn A. Young, Margaret Hsu, Steven S. Raman
Purpose: To investigate whether imaging features on multiphasic multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) can predict the loss of chromosome 8p in clear cell renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), a cytogenetic abnormality associated with a higher tumor grade and greater risk of recurrence. Methods: With IRB approval for this HIPAA-compliant retrospective study, we queried our institution's pathology database to derive all histologically proven cases of clear cell RCC with preoperative multiphasic MDCT with as many as four phases (unenhanced, corticomedullary, nephrographic, and excretory) from January 2000 to July 2010. Of 170 clear cell RCCs with preoperative multiphasic MDCT, 105 clear cell RCCs, representing 98 unique patients, had karyotypes of the resected specimens. Lesions were evaluated for magnitude and pattern of enhancement, contour, neovascularity, calcifications, and size. Results: The corticomedullary phase mean enhancement of clear cell RCCs with a loss of 8p was significantly greater than that of clear cell RCCs without a loss of 8p (169.5 vs. 127.2 HU, p = 0.004). A threshold of 165 HU predicted the loss of 8p in clear cell RCCs with an accuracy of 78% (69/88), a specificity of 81% (62/77), and a negative predictive value of 94% (62/66). There were no significant differences in the pattern of enhancement, contour, neovascularity, calcification, or size between clear cell RCCs with a loss of 8p and those without this abnormality. Conclusion: Enhancement on multiphasic MDCT can predict the loss of 8p in clear cell RCCs and can thus provide a non-invasive means of guiding further management, including surgery, ablation, watchful waiting, or medical management.

Sites for sore eyes are spreading across town

Ah, spring is with us at last, and lepidopterists (butterfly scientists) will be waxing their nets in anticipation of another successful season.
The green, hairy, squiggly creatures will be munching their way through the fresh shoots of recovery before chrysalis and evolution into that paragon of the insect world, lepidoptera!
Since my first observations on this matter the quantity of sites suitable as butterfly colonies has spread across the town like eczema.
To qualify, a site has to be essentially neglected, either as a construction site or nature reserve/waste land. Here are six prominent sites:
1: The A10 roundabout opposite the town hall. This is known as the original Royston eyesore/weed patch. Formerly the site of the cinema, lido, and Taste of India restaurant, it has recently changed hands but there is yet to be any progress.
Access is straight forward by the lido entrance and I checked the site for cadavers. There are none. This site is developing an international reputation, although the fence now appears to have been fixed and yellow 'danger' signs have been put up. This may mean they are to get on with some work, hooray!
2: Baldock Street, opposite the fire station. To be fair, this probably does not qualify, as some work is being done, albeit painfully slowly. The site is well managed and very secure, although Royston limbo dancing society may be up to the challenge. A very large site.
3: Clark Road/behind the flats on Kneesworth Street. From the parking area there is a gated door (unlocked) which leads to a piece of wasteland used for the dumping of domestic electrical goods and other rubbish.
The buddleia grows in profusion and there is easy access to the London bound platform of the railway station.
4: Gower Road/Titchmarsh Close. At the end of Titchmarsh Close is an open but totally uncultivated area. It contains seating and a litter bin (full), and there is also a mattress, which looks unhygienic, and a great deal of rubbish. The site appears to have some totally extraneous fencing, which could be removed.
5: Burns Road, adjacent to the shops. Another site with open access as the fence is down. Some fine examples of buddleia have propagated.
6. Burns Road, opposite Roysia surgery bus stop. This a very secure site with a great deal of rubbish and no apparent work being done on it.
One would hope that the private owners of these sites, or the various local authorities that operate in our town, would exercise themselves in rendering the sites as useful, or at the very least safe and secure. After all, the youthful and naturally curious exist in the town.
Carlo Zambonini
Gresley Lodge, Old North Road
Ps. A copy of this letter has been forwarded to the police to raise their awareness of site security in Royston.

Q: Lambda-returning macro in common lisp does not work I want to create a macro that returns a lambda, but I keep getting compile errors.
When you macroexpand regular lambdas you get the following:
(print (macroexpand '(LAMBDA (X) (+ 1 X))))

=> #'(LAMBDA (X) (+ 1 X))

Now, let's say I want to create a macro that expands to a lambda, for example:
(defmacro test (x) `(lambda (x) (+ 1 x)))

If I print the expansion of that macro I get the expected expansion:
(print (macroexpand '(test x)))

=> #'(LAMBDA (X) (+ 1 X))

Exactly the same as a regular lambda.
But when I try to use the "test" macro I still have to use "funcall" to make it work.
(print ((LAMBDA (X) (+ 1 X)) 1))
=> 2

(print (funcall (test x) 1))
=> 2

(print ((test x) 1))

=>  Execution of a form compiled with errors.
Form:
  ((TEST X) 1)
Compile-time error:
  illegal function call

How is this possible?
The test macro expands to a regular lambda, and my understanding is that after the expansion, lisp should not be able to know that it even came from a macro, it should be indistinguishable from a lambda.
How is common lisp able to use regular lambdas in the operator position of expressions without using "funcall" and how can I do the same?
Does anyone know what's going on here?

A: The operator position of an expression is not treated as an expression, so it doesn't undergo macro expansion like the arguments do.
It works for LAMBDA because the syntax of the operator position specifically allows for lambda expressions there. The fact that there's a macro named LAMBDA is a coincidence, it's not used to implement this. It's specified in the CLHS description of Lambda Forms:

A lambda form is similar to a function form, except that the function name is replaced by a lambda expression.

Lambda forms are mostly a legacy feature for compatibility with earlier dialects. And the LAMBDA macro was a Common Lisp innovation, which was created just as a convenience so we wouldn't have to type #' whenever we use a lambda expression as a value. This is unrelated to the use of lambda expressions in lambda forms.

No, the iPhone SE camera is flush with the back of the phone.
Apple made headlines when the iPhone 6 was released, thanks to a protruding camera lens on the back of the device. The iPhone 6s also suffers from the camera bump, however this design accommodates the thinner profile of these larger phones.
Since the iPhone SE has the same form factor and thickness as the iPhone 5s, this leaves more room for the camera lens elements. For this reason the sapphire crystal lens cover on the iPhone SE does not stick out.

François Duquesnoy
(Redirected from Francois Duquesnoy)
François Duquesnoy or Frans Duquesnoy (January 12, 1597 – July 18, 1643) was a Flemish Baroque sculptor in Rome. His more idealized representations are often contrasted with the emotional character of Bernini's works, while his style shows greater affinity to Algardi's sculptures.
Portrait by Anthony van Dyck
(1597-01-12)January 12, 1597
July 18, 1643(1643-07-18) (aged 46)
Duquesnoy was born in Brussels. Having come from Flanders, Duquesnoy was called Il Fiammingo by the Italians and François Flamand by the French. His father, Jerôme Duquesnoy the Elder, sculptor of the Manneken Pis fountain in Brussels (1619), was the court sculptor to Archduchess Isabella and Archduke Albert, governor of the Low Countries. Sculptor Jerôme Duquesnoy, the younger was his brother. Some of Francois' early work in Brussels attracted the notice of the Archduke, who gave him the wherewithal to study in Rome, where he would spend his whole career.
According to early biographers, when Duquesnoy arrived in Rome in 1618, he studied antique sculpture in detail, climbing over the equestrian Marcus Aurelius to determine how it was cast, or making a pilgrimage to the shrine of Diana at Lake Nemi. In 1624, Nicolas Poussin, who shared his classicly styled, emotionally detached manner of depiction, arrived in Rome, and the two foreign artists lodged together. Both moved in the circle of patronage of Cassiano dal Pozzo. They developed a canon of ideal expressive figures, counter to the theatrical baroque of Bernini. Contemporary critics, like Giovanni Bellori, in Lives of the Modern Painters, Sculptors and Architects from 1672, hailed Duquesnoy's art as restoring contemporary sculpture to quality of antique Roman sculpture. Bellori said that with his Santa Susanna, Duquesnoy "had left to modern sculptors the example for statues of clothed figures, making him more than the equal of the best ancient sculptors...".[1]
Among Duquesnoy's early works are bas-relief putti for Villa Doria Pamphili.[2] In spite of the contrast perceived by contemporaries in their stylistic approaches, Duquesnoy collaborated with Bernini in the design, among others, of the angels offering garlands of the baldacchino for Saint Peter's (in process 1624–1633). The four angels are entirely Duquesnoy's work, and this work earned him future commissions.
The statue of Santa SusannaEdit
Duquesnoy's classicly styled Saint Susanna (1629) depicts the saint as both modest and revealing under marble draperies —"so much so that the pure volume of the members is visible" (Bellori). This is one of four sculptures depicting virgin martyrs by various sculptors for the church of Santa Maria di Loreto in front of the Roman Forum of Trajan (1630–33).
Critics have remarked on the refined surfaces and the softness and sweetness with which Duquesnoy invested this statue. There is a transcendence in her empty gaze. The sculpture was little known until the 18th century, when a marble copy by Guillaume Coustou was sent to Paris (1739) and Duquesnoy's Susanna entered the canon of most-admired modern sculptures.
The statue of Saint Andrew in the Transept of St Peter'sEdit
The more extroverted marble representation of Saint Andrew (1629–33) was begun a few months after his completion of the Santa Bibiana. It is one of the four larger-than-life statues which frame the baldacchino in the transept of St. Peter's Basilica; each depicts a venerated relic, which at the time, was the property of the Pope and St. Peters. (The other three statues are Bernini's Saint Longinus, Mochi's Saint Veronica, and Bolgi's St Helena). Duquesnoy was angry, it is said, when Bernini intrigued to have his Longinus placed in the only corner (the SW) that can receive direct rays of sunlight, enhancing the drama of that piece. The statue of Andrew was meant to honor the relic of the apostle's skull, supposedly presented to Pius II by the Byzantine leader Thomas Palaiologos in 1461, but returned to Patras, the place of his martyrdom, by Pope Paul VI centuries later. It is useful to contrast the tone of Andrew with that of Longinus: in Andrew the draperies fall vertically or droop, while Longinus' clothes inflate in improbably starched ebullience. Andrew leans over the saltire cross of his martyrdom, while Longinus theatrically flings arms outward expostulating divine influence. Both statues accentuate the diagonals, but Duquesnoy's is more restrained than either Bernini's or Mochi's contribution.
Adonis, a Roman torso, restored and completed by François Duquesnoy, (Louvre Museum)
Other worksEdit
Poussin recommended Duquesnoy to Cardinal Richelieu, who offered the position of royal sculptor to Louis XIII and with the goal of founding a royal academy of sculpture in Paris. Duquesnoy was about to sail from Livorno, when he died; he had suffered for years from gout and episodes of vertigo (he fell from the scaffolding while attaching the gilded palm branch to his Susanna) and bouts of depression. His brother, Jerôme Duquesnoy (II) (1612–1654) inherited the chests with the designs of uncompleted work, including some designs for putti for the tomb of Bishop Triest in the Saint Bavo Cathedral in Ghent.[3]
Like other sculptors working in 17th century Rome, Duquesnoy was called upon to restore and complete antiquities, for headless torsos rarely found a market with contemporary connoisseurs. With the Rondanini Faun (1625–30; now in the British Museum) Duquesnoy amplified a torso into a characteristically Baroque expansive gesture that deeply satisfied contemporary taste but was bitterly criticised by Neoclassicists by the end of the 18th century. He completed a Roman torso as Adonis. It found its way into the collection of Cardinal Mazarin and is now in the Louvre.
There are bronze busts of the Susanna in Vienna, Berlin, and Copenhagen. Finely finished small-scale bronzes of antique subjects, suitable for collectors, occupied the sculptor and his studio assistants. A Mercury and Cupid is at the Louvre, a gracile Bacchus at the Hermitage Museum. A bronze Mercury was commissioned by the collector of antiquities Vincenzo Giustiniani as a pendant to a Hellenistic bronze Hercules in his collection, a compliment to Duquesnoy and implicitly a statement of the parity of the Ancients and the Moderns. Giustiniani commissioned a life-size Virgin and Child from Duquesnoy in 1622, at a moment when the sculptor was hard pressed to finish his Andrew, due to interruption of payments instigated by a cabal (Joachim von Sandrart). His terracotta modelli were more likely to carry the immediacy of the sculptor's touch and were of especial value to other sculptors, if they could afford them. Louis XIV's royal sculptor François Girardon owned a great number of Duquesnoy's terra-cotta models, which are recorded in the inventory of Girardon's collection drawn up after his death in 1715.[4]
Bas-reliefs of puttiEdit
Children Playing with a Goat is one of several copies after his bas-relief of putti playing with a he-goat, which became quite popular with Dutch artists.
His characteristic putti, plump, with carefully observed children's heads, helped to establish the conventional type, familiar in the paintings of Rubens: in fact Rubens wrote Duquesnoy in 1640 to thank him for sending him casts of the putti from the sculptor's wall-monument to Ferdinand van den Eynden in Santa Maria dell'Anima in Rome.[4]
Flemish boxwood or ivory carvings, especially with scenes of putti, are often casually described as "in his manner", though he never left Rome.
Aside from his brother, who collaborated with him in his studio, his most prominent pupils were François Dieussart[5] and Artus Quellinus. Quellinus and Rombaut Pauwels, another Flemish sculptor who familiarized himself with Duquesnoy's style in Rome, brought the classicly styled Baroque style of what Duquesnoy's circle, an informal academy, called la gran maniera greca[4] to the Netherlands on their return from Rome. In Rome, Duquesnoy's student Orfeo Boselli wrote Osservazioni della scoltura antica in the 1650s; his observations reflected connoisseurship of the subtle contours of superior Greek sculpture, considered superior to Roman work, which had been developed in Duquesnoy's circle and would inform the sensibility of Winckelmann and Neoclassicism.

Charlize Theron Recalls "Insulting" Sexist Experience On Set Of Hit Movie
By Susan Devaney 27 July 2020
Charlize Theron has never been one to shy away from delivering uncomfortable home truths, which is why she's recalled the "insulting" experience she was subjected to on the film set of The Italian Job.
"For sure, The Italian Job was a great experience, in the sense that I realised there was still so much misconception around women in the genre, even though in that film the action is really based on cars," Theron said during a Comic-Con@Home panel discussion. "We had to physically do a lot of that stuff. The only good thing that came out of that experience was that there was a real pressure to pull off those stunts with the actors."
Charlize Theron Has Found Her Effortless Summer Wardrobe Formula
By Susan Devaney
Theron – who starred alongside Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton and Jason Statham in the 2003 hit movie – believed that there was an "unfair process" during the film. "I was the only woman with a bunch of guys and I remember vividly getting the schedule in our pre-production and they had scheduled me for six weeks more car training than any of the guys," she explained. "And it was just so insulting."
Charlize Theron On Being "Completely Transparent" With Her Daughters About Racial Injustice
In true Theron spirit, she says it "put a real fire under my ass". "I was like 'alright, you guys want to play this game? Let's go'. And I made it a point to out drive all of those guys." Of course, she really did, pulling off many of her own stunts in the Hollywood film. "It was a huge moment of feeling like 'yeah, we can do all of that stuff'," she added. "Women are so unfairly thought of or treated when it comes to the genre."
10 Of The Most Instagrammable Places In Scotland
The Old Guard actor acknowledged that the industry's attitude has shifted 17 years on. "The good news now is that we've kind of changed the genre for women," she said. "I think there's great evidence where we now know you can't hide behind ignorance anymore. Audiences love these films."

John Baird announces plans to close Rights and Democracy group
By Richard J. BrennanNational Affairs Writer
Tues., April 3, 2012timer2 min. read
The Harper government has killed a Montreal-based human rights agency that's been in its sights for years.
Citing austerity as the reason, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird announced Tuesday the 24-year-old Rights and Democracy, which encouraged democracy and monitored human rights around the world, would be scrapped.
"Therefore, as part of our efforts to find efficiencies and savings, I am announcing that the government intends to close the International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development (also known as Rights and Democracy). Legislation will be introduced in the near future to do so and its functions will be brought within the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade," he said.
The taxpayer-funded agency was a source of controversy, with employees suspended for speaking out and bitter debates over $30,000 in grants for Middle East human rights groups. The grant did not sit well with the pro-Israeli Conservatives who set out to take over the board with government-appointed members.
The agency's former president, Rémy Beauregard, died of a heart attack in January 2010 after a particularly stormy board meeting.
"For some time, the many challenges of the International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development have been well publicized. It is time to put these past challenges behind us and move forward." Baird stated in a release.
"Today's announcement gives us a clean slate to move forward," he said.
Liberal interim leader Bob Rae told the Star the Conservatives would rather lecture others in the world about democracy "than carry out effective projects and contribute to human rights and good governance."
Montreal NDP MP Hélène Laverdière said it was well known the Conservatives didn't like Rights and Democracy but "we didn't think they would go to that extent."
"First they poisoned the institution then they killed it" even though she says it did good work around the world and gained international respect.
Laverdière also told the Star that staff at Rights and Democracy weren't told of the government's decision until Baird made his announcement. The agency is located in her riding of Laurier—Sainte-Marie.
The very public fight between the Conservative government-appointed board and agency employees spilled over into the House of Commons, where board members were hauled before a committee to explain why they had declared war on the agency and its employees.
That included firing three senior employees at Rights and Democracy after agency staff wrote a letter to the 13-member board, demanding the resignation of three directors.

St. Louis Cardinals: Fantasy baseball sleepers for a shortened season
By Matt Graves
ST. LOUIS, MO - JULY 3: Matt Carpenter #13 of the St. Louis Cardinals takes batting practice during the first day of summer workouts at Busch Stadium on July 3, 2020 in St. Louis, Missouri. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images) /
In a shortened season, the St. Louis Cardinals have players who have the potential to be sleepers in fantasy baseball. Who fits that bill best?
Fantasy baseball is going to be weirder this year than it has been since it became a popular thing to do. There are going to be chances to capitalize on a shortened season with players who get hot and stay hot.
On the St. Louis Cardinals, there are plenty of streaky players that could carry a fantasy baseball team, especially if all that you need is 60 games.
Most fantasy players have already drafted their teams, but that doesn't mean that these players shouldn't be targets for trades. Sometimes one player can be the difference between losing and winning.
Tyler O'Neill
Tyler O'Neill has been the subject of contempt from fans based solely on who he was traded for. Back in 2017, when the Cardinals traded Marco Gonzales for O'Neill, both looked like MLB contributors. Now three years later, Gonzales has become a fixture in the Mariners' rotation while O'Neill has looked more like a fourth outfielder.
Why is he so intriguing to me? He hasn't gotten consistent playing time, and when he has, he's produced.
July of 2019 was the only time in O'Neill's career where he was given the chance to start daily. This was the month where Marcell Ozuna was out due to a broken finger. In 23 games, O'Neill batted .301/.341/.482 with an above-average .181 ISO.
The only other month where O'Neill had more than 15 starts was April, when he had a similar stat line with a .303 average and a .455 slugging percentage.
When he plays, he hits. Playing just two games a month as he did in May, June, and August doesn't let him keep any rhythm at the plate.
It's not out of the question that O'Neill could start 42 of the 60 games, and if he does, he could catch fire and be a huge asset for fantasy.
Matt Carpenter has fallen out of the sweet spot of the fanbase after two years of inconsistent performance. In 2019, his overall body of work of a 95 wRC+ is well below where he's been the rest of his career, and that output after the inconsistent 2018 that he had, fan confidence has wavered.
John Mozeliak gives an update on the St. Louis Cardinals off-season plans
Cardinals: Adam Wainwright commits to Team USA for the WBC
Cyber Monday: Best bargain free agents for the St. Louis Cardinals
Cardinals: These are the best trade partners this off-season
Cardinals: Jose Quintana's Market Price is Overvalued
Carpenter can carry the offense when he's hot though. In the 80-game stretch between June 1 and August 31, Carpenter had an OPS of 1.078, getting on base at a .414 clip. His .362 ISO led to 28 homers in that stretch and he was basically the entire offense for the team during that time.
That was about two years ago at this point, but we know what Carpenter can do. He's not being graded out very well nationally right now, and you should take advantage. In the past, Carpenter has worn himself down mentally and physically trying to be his best on offense and in the field. Because of the DH in 2020, Carpenter will be utilized there likely more often than not. When you consider that all he'll have to worry about is hitting, that jumps his potential up a bit in my eyes.
Carpenter could definitely surprise some people in 2020.
Daniel Ponce de Leon
If there is one word to describe Daniel Ponce de Leon, it would be underrated. Since his debut in 2018, Ponce has been sent up and down too many times. When he is in the big leagues, his role changes so often that it's hard for him to keep his rhythm. By his standard stats, Ponce has been solid.
His 3.31 ERA, 3.98 FIP, and 9.1 K/9 in his 81.2 innings tells a good start to the story, but the sore spot comes when you look at his walks. A 4.3 BB/9 is not going to work at the major league level. However, his peripherals are fantastic.
Daniel Ponce de Leon = underrated.
(Via https://t.co/WqsqipL53r) pic.twitter.com/sHxW2I1LvP
— Redbird Rants (@FSRedbirdRants) July 5, 2020
With fewer than 100 career innings and just 48.2 in 2019 (which these numbers are based off), it's a small sample size, but it is all we have to judge him on. All of his expected values suggest that he was better than advertised last season.
Looking forward to 2020, Ponce is going to be a huge part of the team's plans. With starters beginning the year going shorter starts, the bullpen/piggybackers are going to be incredibly important.
Unlike years past, Ponce should have plenty of innings to pitch this year and after he spent time at Driveline this winter, he should get even better. Ponce is a great guy to snag and store in your bullpen.
Next. Genesis Cabrera among the three to have COVID-19. dark
There are more players that could be sneaky grabs for the fantasy baseball season, but these are three of my favorites.

Perspectives On Life & Hospice
In biology class, we learn how plants grow. A green plant uses sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugars that the plant uses as energy. We call this process photosynthesis, and it doesn't happen without help. It needs a catalyst, something that helps to expedite the chemical reaction. In photosynthesis, the catalyst is chlorophyll, which absorbs the sun's light and enables the transformation of energies to occur.
In hospice, the interdisciplinary team is a kind of catalyst. We enter into the lives of our patients and forge a relationship. Through that relationship, we help them face the task of completing a life mindfully, of bringing closure with loved ones. We help them lay the groundwork they need to walk toward that final door, open it and step across its threshold; we help their families wrestle with loss, grief and acceptance. Then, in the fullness of time, our work is done.
In the film Nanny McPhee, there is a scene in which the good lady explains herself. "There is something you should understand about the way I work," she says. "When you need me but do not want me, then I must stay. When you want me but no longer need me, then I have to go. It's rather sad, really, but there it is."
So it is in hospice. We enter as catalysts into the process of dying—a process as spiritual as it is physical. At the beginning, we may not be wanted, but usually we are much needed. When the family's grief has begun its slow march toward acceptance, when the patient's prayers have been exhaled like a final, holy sigh—that is when the catalyst has completed its work. That is when we have to go.
Chlorophyl helps along the work of photosynthesis, over and over, without being consumed or altered—but it doesn't work like that in hospice. The true gift of our work is that we do not emerge unaltered. The work works upon us. The patient teaches us. With each and every death, our spiritual capacity as healers is enlarged—and so we bear witness, with gratitude, to every soul entrusted to us at the close of life.

Kidney disease is measured in stages 1-5. Learn more about the stages of kidney disease.
The nephrologists at Desert Kidney Associates are experts in the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our clinic focuses on educating patients and involving them in their own care. We work to slow the progression of CKD, identify risk for cardiovascular disease, and evaluate CKD patients to decrease risk for complications from surgery.
The nephrologists design treatment plans and work closely with nurse practitioners to form a health management team.
Patients with CKD are prone to low red blood cell count, also known as anemia. Anemia starts in the third stage of kidney disease; as the kidneys become more compromised and the cells responsible for producing a hormone called erythropoietin (EPO) die. EPO is key to red blood cell production because it travels to the bone marrow and and triggers the mechanisms that help red blood cells mature.
We treat patients for anemia using epogen and iron infusion shots. Depending on the severity of anemia shots are scheduled once every week to once every two months.
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a major factor in the development of kidney problems in patients with diabetes.
Hypertension not only causes kidney disease, but can also occur as a result of damage created by kidney disease. As kidney disease proceeds, physical changes in the kidneys lead to increased blood pressure. Therefore, a dangerous spiral involving rising blood pressure and factors that raise blood pressure, occurs. Early detection and treatment of even mild hypertension are essential for people with diabetes.
As part of our CKD clinic, we offer close blood pressure monitoring and medication adjustment to help manage blood pressure.
The parathyroid glands produce a chemical called parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH is helps to control calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels in the body. When the parathyroid glands are overactive, it is called hyperparathyroidism.
Kidney disease is a common cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism (secondary because it caused by another condition in the body). Kidney failure can interfere with the body's ability to remove phosphate, and too much phosphate causes changes in calcium levels. When the calcium levels in the body are too low, the parathyroid gland responds by producing extra PTH which extracts calcium from the bones to be reabsorbed by the kidney and intestines.
As part of our CKD clinic, we help patients manage calcium and vitamin D levels, and help them to avoid phosphate in their diets. Ins some cases, parathyroid surgery may be necessary.

"Genius is present in every age, but the men carrying it within them remain benumbed unless extraordinary events occur to heat up and melt the mass so that it flows forth. "
"Since the dawn of time there have been those among us who have been willing to go to extraordinary lengths to gain access to that domain normally reserved for birds, angels, and madmen. "
"Take death for example. A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We make extraordinary efforts to delay it, and often consider its intrusion a tragic event.

Essay Bahasa Inggris - Student Action. Is It Necessary?
Students Action. Is It Necessary?
Nowdays there are many issue in our country. Problems come and coming again. Beside, people still do not hear the right issue and their eyes still close from the right information. So why writer brave to say that student action is the good step? Because the media is not already trusted, and if the media not trusted anymore, who anyone should be trusted? Again writer said, student action is the answer. Because while a students take action and speak up, they speak with neutral, not stand in one side, but neutral. Not like media, that speak issue just for their benefit. If there a messanger that speak issue just for beneficially, then what different with animal. As we know, animal want to move if we give they food, if we cannot give they food, they don't want to move. In other words, animal just want to move if they have a benefit. So student action is the answer from all.
There are many reasons why people dislike and ignore the student action. Start with no result, just waste energy, and many more. And that's why a big part of people really dislike and ignore the student action. Although there's many and good reason why student have to take action. As we can see, if there are student take action on the street, exactly people will dislike them. They say it cannot effect to changing. It just nonsense action. And they say too it just waste energy, how not? They just speak up in the street, not much of people attract of this action, they just ignore this. Moreover, student action just making traffic jam. How sad if they really passion with action, but the audience like close their ears and reject it. That's all the problems that student action ignore in public, whereas there more reasons why student must take action.
The first reason is if the student do not speak up, then who? As we know, one of responsibility as student is to sounding the issue to public in truth issue. As student, we must speak up in neutral, not stand in one side. If we talk about student, student is the high level education in of country, no more education that higher except student. Because after college, there are no more education level, so college is the higest level of education in of country. So that, if the college fill with the student that received higest educational, so student must have capability to become observer of country. As student that received highest educational level must have use their capability for observer problems in their country, because in future they will exchange older generation. With student action, student will study how to observer problems and issue and they will forced to think how to solve problem. With this condition, besides student speak up and sounding the issue to public, they learn to become leader in future. Back to the topic, whether it can if children or old man speak up issue and stand for defend the right ? if the higest educational people do not speak up (read : student), then who?
The second reasons why student have to action because adult already really really busy with their activity and forgot about issue in around. Nowdays, when the most part of people just finding material in their mind, anything that not relate with their personalty, they will ignore, even reject. When world change become material, very little people that still care about their country. Very rare adult that still sensitive about issue around. Maybe this is a strategy gouverment to switch attention public in issue. When their attention is switch, then gouverment can free to play issue, and public just can silent, there not strength to against the gouverment, because they self too not care about issue. And that's why, this is a time for student to take a role for sounding to public the right issue. When the adult do not take care and sensitive about the issue around, when the children is still young, when the older generation cannot be hoping anymore, again, this is the time, the time for student to down to street and shout the truth.
And the last reasons to support this argument, student as agent of change have to be pioneer to open civilization eyes. Agent of change is the label that always stick on every student. Looking for the position student as a higest level educational person, student is very expecting to become pioneer of leader in future. Before become leader in future, student have to through many process, and one of process to become agent of change. What is agent of change? From the name, agent of change is a person or organization that have vision to change a condition from dark situation to light situation. With there are student that become agent of change, then probability to change our condition opened. As we know, student that have higest educational level and have more strength and energy and the passionate of spirit become the good chance to change to making condition better. Is unfortunate if the great potential like this lost and gone, how pathetic if the great potential like this abused.
With this arguments, writer say with clearly, that the negative people are saying that student action is useless, waste energy, making traffic jam, and etc, is big false. Maybe the people are saying like that, they do not understand what benefit and meaning of student action. Maybe they never had a basic knowledge about issue management, maybe they not interest with sosial life, and concerned about their self, so this is the fact when people did not care about each other, even about their home (read : country). Whereas if we read and see the arguments before with carefully, we can found the deep meaning of action. If action did not have a benefit, why possible the highest level educational person want to tired and exhausted shouting the issues that not have benefit and advantage. I tell you know, if you see student that action on the street and ignore even reject them, I will understand. But if you still ignore and not care about issue in our country, I will never understand, from which the earth you come from?
From the paragraphs above we can conclude, that student action is the one of way to show the right issue in public. With brave and faith in right place, student action will open public eyes with the real condition in our country. Because student action is the one of way to sounding the truth condition to public. Although there are many people that dislike and igrone this action. Besides, student as agent of change, will be pioneer to be changing. In other condition, adult and older generation cannot be hoping anymore, so student is the key to open the new future. Reminded of the words from someone, if the young generation is broken and damage, then the future of country will be the same. Last statement, it doesn't matter what people say about our action, it doesn't matter to take hundred years to open eyes public, will still keep moving forward to show the truth for be better future.

Q: passing the structure to function when is do this i get
error: incompatible type for argument 1 of 'display'

    #define M 4
    struct show
    {
     int value;
    };

    struct node
    {
     struct show keys[M-1];
    };

    void display(struct show *ptr)

    main()
    {
                struct show key;
                printf("Enter value:\n ");
                scanf("%d",&keys.value);
                display(keys);

    }

    void display(struct show *ptr)
    {

     printf("%d", ptr->value);

    }

but when i give display(&key) there wont be any error, but when i pass keys as parameter to display it is like passing the address of the structure  itself, why should i give &keys?

A: It's tricky to tell what you're trying to do, but as far as compilation errors go, where you have written this:
scanf("%d",&keys.value);
display(keys);

I think you mean to write this:
scanf("%d",&key.value);
display(&key);

A: keys is a structure, but display expects a pointer to a structure (you wrote * for that purpose). Using display(&keys) passes a pointer to the structure instead.
The point of passing a pointer instead of a structure is that C arguments are passed by value, which involves a copy. If you passed the structure, then a copy would be made which, given that a structure is usually pretty large, is an unnecessary waste of processing time. Passing a pointer involves only a copy of that pointer, which is faster.

A: You're missing a semi-colon at the end of the prototype for display().
Also you need to indicate the return type from main, e.g. void main().

A: i think you meant this:
#include <stdio.h>

#define M 4
struct show
{
    int value;
};

struct node
{
    struct show keys[M-1];
};

void display(struct show *ptr);

main()
{
    int i;
    struct node node_instance;
    for (i = 0; i < M-1; i++) {
        printf("Enter value #%d:\n ", i);
        scanf("%d",&node_instance.keys[i].value);
        display(&node_instance.keys);
    }

}

void display(struct show *ptr)
{
    printf("%d\n", ptr->value);
}

A: You have to create a variable of struct node type and pass its keys address.
main()
{
    struct node theNode;
    // populate theNode's keys elements
    display(theNode.keys);
}

Anyway, with the given code you will only print the first element of keys collection, so you will need to update display() function (i.e.: you will have to pass in the number of elements in keys array).


After reading Alissa's post about family dinners, I knew exactly what she needed for a housewarming gift.
The pattern is available in Heather's shop. I purchased it locally at my favorite store ever because I'm impatient. Plus, any excuse to look at fabric kid-free is a good one. The fabric is also Heather Bailey.
I sewed a size small. The pattern calls for one fabric for the outside and another for the lining. I decided to switch things up a bit. The 1/2 yard of the lining fabric will give you enough to make contrasting pockets if you cut very carefully. I also used the lining waistband piece for the outside and the outside piece for the lining.
It was a quick, easy sew and I think it turned out WAY cute (if I do say so myself). I didn't especially like how the halter ties attached. There's probably a trick to making that easier, but I didn't figure it out on my first sew through. The directions were clear and easy to follow and I'll definitely be making this one again.
Why didn't I think of this before now?
No cake stand? No problem! Plate + upside down bowl = close enough. And yes, that frosting really is that color. "Neon" on the food coloring box does indeed mean neon.
where you go hide in the living room on the floor in the corner to eat your dinner because you know no one will be whining or fighting in there?
And BC's laptop charger broke, so no posting pics from there either. Blah.

Q: Tomcat: java.io.IOException : Destination "xxx" directory cannot be created" I would like to do projects backup from one location to another location in network.this sample application has been written in struts.
This was achieved by using org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.
My problem here is, when I ran this application in netbeans 6.9 IDE tomcat server its working fine, but when I tried to run this application in apache tomcat 7.0 server by deploying this application WAR file, I get exception like
java.io.IOException : Destination "xxx" directory cannot be created"

this destination path is another machine in our local network.
I assume some kind of netbeans IDE options which are enabling tomcat server to copy folder to a destination directory when I ran it in netbeans tomcat.
where as, if I run this application in tomcat server some kind of tomcat file permissions are blocking.
Both source and destination are shared folders.

A: You will have to setup a permission (in your case File Permission) for your webapplication as Tomcat runs a Security Manager, for security precautions. See here for configuration.


Melbourne - Juan Del Potro made a late start to his 2013 tennis campaign, beating Paul-Henri Mathieu of France 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (7-3) to advance on Wednesday at the Kooyong Classic tune-up event.
The Argentine who played off-season exhibitions at home with both Roger Federer and the retired Andy Roddick, may be top-seeded at the eight-man special event which is considered elite preparation for the Australian Open starting next week.
But the South American ranked seventh is hesitant to rate himself among the tennis elite despite holding a US Open title from 2009.
"Rafa, Roger, Djokovic, Murray - Rafa is coming back soon, I think - are the favourites," he said of the upcoming year in which Nadal will miss playing the first major after nearly seven months of knee injury problems.
"He's still working on his knees and will be back very, very soon. That's good for tennis and for us. It's going to be great to see him playing again.
"This group is the best group of the world and we try to get closer to them day by day, but it is not easy."
Del Potro won as Mathieu, a late substitute for injured Argentine Juan Monaco (hand injury) double-faulted on match point.
Del Potro moves onto the promotion round, where he plays 2007 Melbourne finalist Marcos Baghdatis, who won 6-1, 1-0 when Serb Janko Tipsarevic had to quit with an existing wrist injury. That marked the third medical withdrawal of the tournament after Japan's Kei Nishikori pulled out with a knee problem and was replaced by Croatian Ivan Dodig.
Tipsarevic won last week's Chennai tournament playing with painkillers, a luxury he did not allow himself at Kooyong in order to test the problem.
Australian Lleyton Hewitt engineered a tight 6-3, 1-6, 7-6 (7-4) victory over Milos Raonic, despite 20 aces from the Canadian ranked 13th.
Hewitt, 31, won the tune-up title in 2011 and will be starting in a record 17th straight Aussie Open on Monday.
Hewitt will be playing in a record 17th-straight Australian Open when the first major of the season starts on Monday. And the former number one, Wimbledon and US Open champion could not be more pleased to be competing pain-free after several years of foot and toe problems.
"I feel mentally fresh and just excited to be playing without pain," said Hewitt, who has undergone two foot surgeries in recent seasons. "The last few years have been frustrating, trying to play with injuries.
"I'm amazed at how many Opens I've played, but I don't focus on the record - it only makes me think how old I am. But when I retire I'll be pretty proud of it."

By far one of the coolest additions however, is that Sonic Mania's Drop Dash is being added to the game!
Thunder Force IV meanwhile adds the Styx Mode, previously exclusive to Saturn. However it will also include online leaderboards and a Kids Mode to make the game less punishing. There also seems to be an option to reduce slowdown, which can affect the game's difficulty.
The first two titles in the new SEGA AGES line for Nintendo Switch, Sonic the Hedgehog and Thunder Force IV, have been confirmed for an August release by Famitsu. Previously, SEGA has stated the titles will receive a worldwide release – so unless things have changed, we'll be getting them in the West next month too.
Coming from porting wizards M2, SEGA AGES is as of now set to include a range of SEGA Mega Drive, SEGA Master System and Arcade titles. Currently confirmed titles are Sonic the Hedgehog, Thunder Force IV, Phantasy Star, Gain Ground, and Alex Kidd in Miracle World. M2 has also stated they'd like to expand to later SEGA consoles – but that hinges on the sales of these titles, and is likely a very long way off.
These aren't just standard ports however – for instance, Sonic 1 includes the Sonic 2 spin dash, a Ring Keep mode for beginners, and even the rare Arcade version of the game, from SEGA's Mega Play unit. Thunder Force IV meanwhile features Styx Mode, which lets you use the ship from Thunder Force III – this feature was previously exclusive to a Japan-only Saturn collection!
Pricing is set to 999 JPY, which works out at about £6. A bit steeper than the previous 3DS ports, but likely justified by the added features over those ports. We'll keep an eye out for any concrete updates on the Western release of these titles.

New SEGA Ages Titles by M2 Coming to Nintendo Switch, Including Sonic, Thunder Force & Phantasy Star
Some more details have come to light since the announcement, mostly courtesy of Sam Mullen, producer at Atlus USA. Most notable of these is the confirmation that the set will include more than just Mega Drive titles – arcade games will be included too. In addition, Mullen confirmed that "every game will have something new."
Finally, it's been revealed by Thunder Force IV's presence at SEGA Fes itself that it includes "Styx Mode", previously exclusive to the Saturn's Thunder Force Gold Pack 2. This mode allows you to play as the Thunder Force 3 ship.
More info on the new AGES series will be released at tomorrow's "Classic Game Stage" event, as part of SEGA Fes. We'll bring you any new announcements that come from it.
M2 are back and are leading development of up to 15 new SEGA ports of classic titles for the Nintendo Switch.
The new SEGA Ages collection will feature ports of Sonic the Hedgehog, Phantasy Star and Thunder Force IV which is currently playable on the show floor at SEGA Fes 2018. It is likely that Thunder Force IV will end up being the first title in the series to launch, but there is currently no news on a release date.
