Rilke's advice to love the questions is our starting point. Poetic measure and its relation to the Unknown is the main focus. Heidegger's reading of Hölderlin helps us to understand what it is that poetry measures.
This episode continues a discussion of Heidegger's essay "Poetically Man Dwells" that I have addressed in several preceding podcasts. Most recently I discussed this in Poetic Measure and the Sacred: Raine, Heidegger, Sherrard (Episode 028).
We begin by reflecting on Rilke's advice to a young poet. This advice includes the call to 'love the questions.' It also calls for one to 'live the questions.' Questions, rather than answers, provide us with the open disposition to see things poetically. I relate this to my disregard for ideology and systems of thought. Furthermore, I relate this disposition to charity (or love as spoken of in Corinthians).
Here I explore Heidegger's thoughts on the measure of poetry and its relation to the Unknown via Hölderlin.
Recall the notion of dwelling and its relationship to the Fourfold that we talked about from "Building, Dwelling, Thinking." (See, for instance: Dwelling and Poetry: Rilke, Hölderlin, Heidegger (Episode 024).) With respect to that Fourfold, we can then understand poetry as measure-taking as follows. It articulates and shows the way for us to build a world in which we then dwell.
But here there is something important to state in terms of the 'ground' provided by poetry. For it is not the 'ground' provided by logical, abstract thinking, which rests on the correspondence of internal ideas to an external world. It is a ground that is revealed in the measure-taking, by which we are not given over to what we can then 'know' but instead made aware of that which is unknown. And of that unknown as unknown.

If you're looking for an all-in-one whole house filter that removes sediment, odors and scale in areas supplied by hard city water or low sediment well water, the 3M Aquapure AP904 Whole House Water Filtration and Softener System is an ideal solution.
It will improve water quality and taste while helping to protect your home's hot water heaters, water-using appliances and plumbing fixtures from scale build-up.
It has a Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) feature that allows you to change the compact AP917HD-S filter easily and with almost no spillage or mess. No need to use a wrench or a screw-driver, the filter housing makes a secure, waterproof seal when installed, but twists out easily when it's time to replace the filter.
The multi-purpose filter is sealed into the blue filter housing and the whole housing gets replaced, so there is no need to open the housing in order to remove a dirty used filter, just replace the whole cartridge.
The stainless steel AP900-series head unit is durable and corrosion resistant and will give a long lifetime of service. With a flow rate of 10GPM (37.85 liters/minute), the 3M AP917HD-S filter unit delivers enough safe, crystal clear, soft water for a home with up to two and a half bathrooms.
The scale inhibitor function of the AP917HD-S filter cartridge means it is not necessary to pre-treat water with a moderate amount of water hardness with a separate water softener.
The materials making up the whole house water filtration system are FDA CFR-21 compliant and are safe for drinking water and food.
3M is a world-renowned company with a solid reputation for quality and service. The Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co. (3M) began as a small-scale mining venture in 1902, and its technical and marketing innovations in a wide variety of materials and products since then has led to the company it is today.
In the 1970's and 1980's, 3M expanded its market focus into pharmaceuticals, radiology and energy control, and currently 3M is responsible for 60,000 products used in businesses, homes, hospitals, schools and other sectors, having earned its 100,000th patent in 2014.
The materials used in the manufacture of the 304 stainless steel water filter head and the filter cartridge are FDA CFR-21 compliant and food and drinking water safe.
In addition to scale inhibition media that help prevent build-up of scale in pipes and water-using appliances, the AP917HD-S water filter cartridge design incorporates carbon block filtration and non-woven pleat media that exclude sediment down to 5 microns while also reducing chlorine taste and odor.
Water softening is achieved by binding calcium and magnesium using polyphosphates in minute quantities so they do not precipitate out and build up scale on metal surfaces.
The binding process also prevents the water hardening minerals from reducing the water's ability to produce soap suds.
Note that the 3M Aquapure AP902 and AP903 Whole House Water filter systems are supplied with filter cartridges that do not reduce water hardness, but the filter heads are compatible with the AP917HD-S water softener filter cartridge, which can be installed as a replacement filter.
The 3M Aqua Pure AP904 water filter head with an AP917HD-S cartridge will deliver a maximum flow rate of 10GPM (37.85 litre/min).
The pressure range of the system is between a minimum of 25psi (172kPa) and 125psi (862kPa), and its operating temperature range is from 40°F (4.4°C) through 100°F (37.8°C).
The AP904 does not use electricity, so no power rating is applicable.
The AP904 water filtration and softener system is rated at a treatment volume of 100,000 gallons (378,500 liters), but the filter cartridge should be replaced when there is a noticeable drop in household water pressure.
For moderate water quality, this may be once a year, but in areas with poor quality water replacement might be required more frequently. 3M recommends that the filter is replaced at intervals of no longer than 12 months.
The AP917HD-S water filter does not use salt for water softening, but incorporates scale inhibiting polyphosphates in minute quantities that bind calcium and magnesium hardness minerals to prevent them from precipitating out and building scale on metallic surfaces.
The entire water filter unit including head and filter cartridge is 25.2" (63.7cm) high and has a maximum diameter of 4.5" (11.4cm). Its shipping weight is 10.2 lbs (4.6kg).
The filter head has 1" NPT threaded socket fittings.
The system doesn't use electricity.
A pre-filter is necessary if the system is used for high sediment well water.
The 3m Aqua-Pure AP904 Whole House Water Filtration and Softener system with scale inhibitor can be obtained for a price in the US$300 to US$400 range.
3m gives a 25-year limited warranty on the stainless steel head component and a one-year limited warranty on the AP917HD-S filter cartridge component of the Aqua-Pure AP904 water filtration and softener system.
There are, however, several complaints about the cartridge clogging up sooner than expected, but as is pointed out in some comments, the system is not meant for high sediment water sources such as well-water, or water with a high degree of hardness.
The solution suggested by most comments is to install a clear spin-down sediment filter, or a 5 micron sediment filter with cheap replacement cartridges, before the Aquapure system in the water input line in order to remove most of the larger sediment particles.
It is also recommended that a shut-off valve is installed on either side of the system to reduce the amount of water spilled when changing the filter cartridge.
The 3M Aquapure AP904 Whole House Water Filtration and Softener System is a robust, user-friendly water softener and filter that will protect your household plumbing and appliances from scale build-up, while providing you with soft, clean, odor-free drinking water with a minimum of fuss and bother.
It will suit people who want to avoid the burden of having to load salt into their water softener every week or so. Its sturdy construction, easy installation and low maintenance features make it a great product for those who want to 'set and forget'. The relatively long filter replacement intervals and Safe Quick Change (SQC) filter cartridge replacement procedure make it a pleasure to use.
If the replacement intervals appear to be shorter than expected, the lifespan of the filter can be extended by installing a spin-down or sediment filter in line ahead of the Aquapure system, but filter cartridges should be replaced at least once every 12 months.
3M is a world-recognized brand leader that provides a 25-year limited warranty on the filter head unit and a one-year warranty on the filter cartridge.
3M Aquapure AP904 Whole House Water Filtration and Softener System is a great option for those who would prefer to avoid sodium-based water softeners.


New types of data, in particular digital data, is flooding the social sciences. The broad catchphrase for the analysis of such data is 'data science'. The Faculty of Social Sciences wishes to make new, digital forms of data – sometimes collectively known as big data – and the integration of such data with social scientific modes of enquiry a priority at the Faculty. We call this integration Social Data Science, and we are now launching an inter-department center with co-PIs from all five departments.
Copenhagen Center for Social Data Science (SODAS) will serve as the basis for a dedicated interdisciplinary social scientific agenda in education and research.
SODAS will carry out interdisciplinary and disciplinary research involving social and/or digital data.
We will develop and coordinate teaching using and analyzing new forms of data, ranging from issues such as collecting, handling, analyzing and integrating new forms of social data over the challenges confronting researchers and data users in terms of ethics and privacy to science and technology studies of the practice of empirical research.
We will serve as a knowledge hub for people at the Faculty, from students to faculty, with an interest in – or need for expertise in – variations over big data / computational social science / data science as well as an interest in science and technology study aspects of the use and abuse of such data.
SODAS will serve as SAMF's contact point and active partner for the outside world, including other interested parties at the university, national and international partners at other universities; the public sector; the private sector; and non-profit sectors.
At a practical level, we hope to be able to offer assistance along a number of dimensions, including text analysis, classification, gathering data from social media incl. Facebook and Twitter, and prediction, as well as facilitating even further flows of knowledge across departmental boundaries. In addition, the center can be a partner, explicitly or in the background, when applying for externally funded projects involving such new forms of data; this can serve to document and increase the feasibility of such studies.
The center is hoping to engage everyone at the Faculty, from PhD students to Full Professors, with an interest, and active agenda in, social data science across disciplinary boundaries. David Dreyer Lassen (professor, Economics) will serve as the first center director. Sune Lehmann (assoc. professor, DTU) will serve as associate director. Rebecca Adler-Nissen (professor, Political Science), Anders Blok (assoc. professor, Sociology), Jesper Dammeyer (assoc. professor, Psychology) and Morten Axel Pedersen (professor, Anthropology) will be co-PIs, and directors and co-PIs constitute the steering committee.
Permanent research staff for the first three year period will be 2 postdocs and 2 PhD students. We will, to a limited extent, associate external partners from Danish and international universities.
At present, the center will be located in the space offered to Social Fabric in building 35.
What is social big data?
Social big data is data from large, rapidly growing digital databases of information derived from sensors, activity on social media or in apps, customers in shops, traffic on websites, traffic by land, sea and air, GPS units, text files from the internet, digital cameras and more – in short, from all the things people do that involve digital devices or networks.

Q: How to create a percentage stack plot for unequal group size in R? I have 2 groups namely "A" and "B" of unequal sample size. The size of "A" is 19 and the size of "B" is 15 total size of data being 34. They have a categorical variable named "Drug1" to indicate how many people of group A and B takes that drug so the values of the "Drug1" variables are YES and NO.
How do I create a percentage stack plot where I can show both groups and the number of people of each who take the drug and who do not take the drug in percentage stacked over each other? I would also like to annotate the percentage value in the bar
This is a sample of how the input looks like:
dat1<- data.frame(id=1:n,
Group=sample(c("A", "B"), 6, replace = TRUE) ,
Drug1=sample(c("Yes", "No"), 6, replace = TRUE))

A: Stacked barplots of percentages may be obtained easily by converting both variables to factor (e.g. df$Drug1 = as.factor(df$Drug1)) and plotting them against each other with the basic plot() function:
plot(df$Group,df$Drug1,xlab="Group of Participand",ylab="Drug taken")

A: I think this is what you want:
library(ggplot2)

dataset <- data.frame(
  Groups = as.factor(sample(c("A", "B"), 30, replace = T)),
  Drug_1 = as.factor(sample(c("Yes", "No"), 30, replace = T))
)

df_tbl <- table(dataset)

df_tbl <- round(100 * prop.table(df_tbl, margin = 1), 2)

df_tbl <- as.data.frame(df_tbl)

ggplot(df_tbl, aes(fill = Drug_1, y = Freq, x = Groups)) +
  geom_bar(position = "stack", stat = "identity") +
  labs(y = "Percent") +
  geom_text(aes(label = Freq), position = "stack", vjust = 2)

Michelle Dockery: Downton needs the drama
Michelle Dockery thinks Downton Abbey wouldn't be the same without the "banter and bickering".
The actress plays Lady Mary Crawley in the popular British period drama, with Laura Carmichael her often overlooked sister Lady Edith.
With the show coming to an end in its sixth series this year, Michelle promises there will be just as much sniping between the siblings.
'We love the banter and the bickering'
"Yes, we love the banter and the bickering - that's a big part of the relationship and the reason that Laura and I love the characters. It would be boring if they were mates," she smiled to the British edition of OK! magazine.
Laura added: "The nice thing is that both Lady Mary and Lady Edith have created independent lives for themselves - they both have jobs, although that means they're envious of one another."
Downton Abbey has racked up quite a celebrity following, with the likes of Johnny Depp and Katy Perry admitting they can't get enough of it. Its popularity has also meant the cast have attended awards dos with some of showbiz's biggest names.
"I'm never going to get over meeting P. Diddy, who's a big fan, at the Golden Globes, it was pretty awesome," Michelle gushed.
Meanwhile Laura's favourite celeb encounter featured Welsh actor Sir Anthony Hopkins.
"I'll always remember when we were filming in the same studio as Anthony Hopkins and he was asking me questions about [Lady Edith's daughter] Marigold, so he clearly watches the show. That was overwhelming," she marvelled.

UPDATE: Paul Greengrass In Talks for Pirate Pic "Maersk Alabama" With Tom Hanks
Published at 1:08 pm on June 2, 2011
UPDATE: Word broke the other day that Paul Greengrass was considering an opportunity to direct a film based on the hijacking by Somali pirates of the Alabama Maersk. Now Deadline says the director's been assured that there's room in his calendar for him to do "Maersk" and still shoot his MLK assassination film, "Memphis," so it's expected a deal is imminent.
Paul Greengrass used to crank out top-notch action films at a pretty steady clip before taking some time to clear his head of Jason Bourne. When he returned after three years, the result was the disappointing "Green Zone." More than a year later, he may have finally found his next project.
Greengrass is considering signing on for "Maersk Alabama," reported Vulture. The film is an adaptation of "A Captain's Duty," by Capt. Richard Phillips, which recounts his kidnapping at the hands of Somali pirates who had attacked his ship two years ago. The whole ordeal lasted five days, ending with Phillips' daring rescue by the Navy SEALS.
"A Captain's Duty" is being adapted by screenwriter Billy Ray, the same guy who's doing "The Hunger Games." Sony, which has the film rights, wants to get started filming as Tom Hanks is available, after he's finished shooting Tom Tyvwer and the Wachovskis' adaptation of "Cloud Atlas" in Germany this summer.
This material is right in Greengrass wheelhouse, the kind of action-adventure that he film that he practically reinvented while directing the previous two "Bourne" films. As much as we disliked "Green Zone," we're pretty sure he can bounce back from it.


Accurately assessing a site's available wind resource is central to the profitable development and operation of a wind farm, and it starts with high-quality wind resource data. Learn how to maximize wind monitoring in Dulas' latest report.
Renewable energy consultancy, Dulas, recently highlighted how wind investors and developers can maximize their financial returns through better-informed decision-making and deployment of wind-monitoring technologies during project development. The findings have been detailed in a new report, which sets out the factors to be considered when selecting between meteorological (met) masts and remote sensing units – and how this can impact on project profitability.
Historically, met masts fitted with dataloggers, wind vanes, and other measurement devices have been used to glean this data. However, with the emergence of new remote-sensing technologies, and the decline of subsidy supports in the UK, U.S., and elsewhere, there has been increased focus on how accurate wind data can best be secured.
To date, much of the discussion to date has focused on the relative merits of one technology over the other – failing to account for external site conditions and how these can influence the collection of data and projects' future financial health.
With wind speeds directly related to project returns, this is crucial, and a deviation of 5% from expected performance can impact project returns by 5 to 15%. Selecting and deploying the correct wind-monitoring technology for a specific site will reduce the margin for error and, ultimately, enhance project returns.
Dulas' report provides an independent assessment of the merits and capabilities of each technology. It discusses in detail the factors to be considered if wind measurement campaigns are to completed as scheduled and to budget, including the height for which measurements are required, the foundation conditions onsite and market-specific issues that may limit developers' ability to efficiently deploy either a met mast or remote-sensing technologies.
"Developers and investors must therefore bear in mind that the choice between met masts and remote sensing units is not a zero-sum game – both have a role to play in an integrated approach to wind resource assessment that factors the technology, site conditions, and project timeline and resource budgets into the decision-making process." added Marsden.

The legal reckoning awaiting Donald Trump if he loses the election
AdminOctober 18, 2020 51 Views0
But with the polls showing that Democratic rival Joe Biden is leading in the race, the stakes become much higher for Trump if he loses the election. A raft of legal issues, including a criminal investigation by New York prosecutors, will come into focus in the weeks after Election Day.
"In every regard, his leaving office makes it easier for prosecutors and plaintiffs in civil cases to pursue their cases against him," said Harry Sandick, a former federal prosecutor in the Manhattan US attorney's office. "For example, he is claiming a higher protection from subpoenas in the criminal cases and also in the congressional subpoena cases, [and that] is based largely on the fact that he is President."
Some have suggested a formal apparatus for investigating Trump after he leaves office. Rep. Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat, has floated the creation of a "Presidential Crimes Commission," made up of independent prosecutors who can examine "those who enabled a corrupt president," as he put it in an August tweet. "Example 1: Sabotaging the mail to win an election."
The most serious legal threat facing Trump is the Manhattan district attorney's broad criminal investigation into the financial workings of the Trump Organization. Prosecutors have suggested in court filings that the investigation could examine whether the President and his company engaged in bank fraud, insurance fraud, criminal tax fraud and falsification of business records.
In the course of that probe, Trump has challenged a subpoena to his accounting firm for eight years of tax returns and financial records. Five courts have ruled the subpoena is valid, and last week Trump faced the latest setback when a federal appellate court denied his appeal, ruling that the grand jury subpoena was not overly broad or issued in bad faith. On Tuesday, Trump's lawyers asked the Supreme Court to block the enforcement of the subpoena to allow it time to appeal to the court. Trump already lost an appeal to the highest court in July, when it ruled that the president is not immune from a state grand jury subpoena.
New York prosecutors have said the tax records, working papers and documentation around business transactions are crucial to their investigation, which has been underway for more than a year.
There are legal questions as to whether a state prosecutor could file charges against a sitting president.
"He's so powerful right now. They know that they can't indict him right now so there is an incentive to build their case and get ready. I think what happens if he loses and leaves office that things will move very quickly," said Jennifer Rodgers, a CNN legal analyst and former federal prosecutor.
Playing fast and loose with value of company assets
The New York attorney general is also proceeding with a separate civil investigation into the Trump Organization and whether it improperly inflated the value of certain assets in some instances and lowered them in others, in an effort to secure loans and obtain economic and tax benefits.
Investigators are looking into the tax breaks taken at the Trump Seven Springs property in Bedford, New York, and the Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles. They are also investigating the valuation of a Trump office tower on Wall Street and the forgiveness of a more than $100 million loan on the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago.
Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, sat remotely for a deposition with civil investigators last week. The lawyers are seeking additional depositions with Sheri Dillon, Trump's longtime tax lawyer.
Lawyers for the Trump Organization have said in court documents that they believe New York Attorney General Letitia James is politically motivated, and they initially tried to push off Eric Trump's deposition until after Election Day, but a judge rejected that request. The state lawyers, who have said they are not coordinating with any criminal law enforcement agency, said their investigation is civil in nature. But they could make a criminal referral if they believe there is enough evidence.
"With a big-time executive, when they do these multiple or hundreds of millions of dollar transactions, they're always advised by lawyers and accountants," said Dan Alonso, a former prosecutor with the Manhattan district attorney's office. "There are a lot of layers between messing up the tax treatment and criminal liability on the part of the President, that's a big leap."
Opening the floodgates to lawsuits
If Trump is not reelected, he will lose the deference that courts have given to sitting presidents, opening the floodgates for many lawsuits.
The state attorneys general of Washington, DC, and Maryland sued the President in 2017, alleging he corruptly profited off his position by placing his financial interests above those of American citizens.
The state investigators prepared more than 30 subpoenas, including to the Trump Organization, and others relating to the Trump businesses. Trump sued to block the lawsuit, which alleges he violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by virtue of the hundreds of thousands of dollars that foreign governments and others have spent at his properties. Trump has appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court, which has not yet decided whether to hear the case. A second emoluments lawsuit brought by hotel and restaurant operators in New York is also pending.
In August, after a state court judge denied Trump's effort to delay a defamation lawsuit, the President deployed the Department of Justice to attempt to insert itself in the nearly yearlong litigation. The Justice Department asked a federal judge to substitute itself in place of Trump in a defamation lawsuit brought by Carroll, a onetime Elle magazine advice columnist, who accused the President of raping her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. Trump has denied the allegation.
The move, if granted, could effectively kill the lawsuit, which has been winding through the courts since last November, because the Justice Department cannot be sued for defamation. A judge has scheduled a hearing in the case for Wednesday. Carroll has indicated she is seeking to depose the President under oath and to compare with a sample of male genetic material she says is on the dress she wore the day of the alleged rape.
Other lawsuits have also been on hold by virtue of Trump's status as President.
Another case awaiting decision is a defamation lawsuit filed in New York state court by a former contestant on "The Apprentice," Summer Zervos, who claims Trump sexually assaulted her in 2007. Zervos has said Trump kissed her on the lips during a lunch meeting in his New York City office and has alleged he kissed her aggressively and touched her breast during another encounter in Beverly Hills. She sued after she received harassment and threats following his denial of her claims, according to court filings.
After a New York state court judge denied Trump's effort to dismiss Zervos' lawsuit, the President appealed the ruling, arguing that the Constitution's Supremacy Clause bars a state court from hearing an action against a sitting president. The Zervos case is now awaiting a ruling by the New York state Court of Appeals on the question of whether the state courts have jurisdiction over him while he occupies the White House.
The president's niece, Mary Trump, is also suing Trump, his sister and the estate of their deceased brother for fraud, alleging they deprived her of her interests in the family real estate empire built by Fred Trump Sr.
In these civil cases, where in some instances Trump has sought to avoid testifying or providing DNA evidence, Sandick said Trump will lose the ability to argue he is afforded certain protections by the White House if he ends up exiting the Oval Office. "If he's not President, all of that goes away."
Less sway over potential witnesses
One wild card is what would happen to a decade-long civil tax audit conducted by the IRS, which falls under the Treasury Department, and whether it could be escalated under a Biden administration to the Justice Department for review. According to The New York Times, the IRS is looking at a $72.9 million tax refund credit Trump claimed.
Lawyers say a less obvious factor that could change if Biden wins is the sway Trump has held over accountants, bankers and those in his inner circle who could be crucial witnesses to authorities.
"They're going to be much less afraid to talk about someone who is no longer the president," Rodgers said. She added that a case involving allegations of false statements to banks or tax fraud would likely be heavily documented, which, once the subpoena for the tax returns is produced, could aid the investigation.
Of course, if Trump is reelected, it is possible he may be able to run out the statute of limitations, which for some crimes in New York state law is five to six years; push these lawsuits out another four years; or simply continue to enjoy the benefit of the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel opinion that says a sitting president can't be indicted.
The Office of Legal Counsel memo has already insulated Trump from possible indictment in two instances: the special counsel investigation led by Robert Mueller, which found evidence that Trump had committed obstruction of justice but didn't charge him, and the investigation by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, which cited Trump as "Individual 1" in charging his former lawyer Michael Cohen with campaign finance crimes for facilitating hush-money payments to two women who alleged affairs with Trump. Trump has denied the affairs. Cohen pleaded guilty and said under oath that Trump had directed him to break the law. Cohen was reimbursed for those payments from the Trump Organization well into 2017, which could extend the statute of limitations on that crime into 2022. Some lawyers have speculated that it's possible Trump would attempt to pardon himself from federal crimes before he leaves office.
The decision of whether to revive those investigations would fall to a Biden administration and top law enforcement officials leading the Justice Department and Manhattan US attorney's office.
In testimony before Congress, Mueller was asked by Republican Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado, "Could you charge the President with a crime after he left office?"
"Yes," Mueller replied.
"You believe that he committed — you could charge the President of the United States with obstruction of justice after he left office?" Buck asked.
Mueller answered: "Yes."

Mother-in-law devastated after she is kept from witnessing the birth of her first grandchild
"I've felt nothing but heartache since learning I would be banned from the delivery room..."
The birth of a child is start of a new chapter worth sharing with your loved ones. But although you value their role in your child's life, you will surely feel that at some point, lines have to be drawn. Establishing boundaries is one of the challenges when it comes to mother-in-law problems.
But once you assert the need to have boundaries, it isn't always well received.
One mother-in-law found herself in this situation, so she sought advice, devastated that she could not witness the birth of her first grandchild.
"My son, Steven, and daughter-in-law, Julia, are expecting their first child and our first grandchild next month," she wrote. "I had what I thought was a good relationship with Julia, but I find myself devastated. "
Her daughter-in-law Julia apparently wanted her husband and mum to be in the delivery room.
"I was stunned and hurt by the unfairness of the decision."
The hurt mum-in-law says she was "stunned and hurt by the unfairness of the decision."
After pleading with her son and even trying to enlist the help of her daughter-in law's parents, she still couldn't get her way. Aside from the fact that she was the baby's grandma, she felt that her 40 years of experience as a nurse entitled her to be present for the birth.
"I've felt nothing but heartache since learning I would be banned from the delivery room," she continued, adding that although she no longer feels valued.
"I cannot bring myself to speak to Julia. I'm being treated like a second-class grandmother even though I've never been anything but supportive and helpful," she writes. "How can I get them to see how unfair and cruel their decision is?"
Was this decision really "unfair and cruel"?
The mum-in-law was called out for being "entirely wrong."
"Your daughter-in-law is giving birth, which is a pretty difficult, painful, and intimate process. She has every right to plan ahead for just how many people she wants to be in the room for that. This is not about you," she stressed, explaining how the mum-in-law will get to be in their grandchild's life.
"Nothing is being taken from you," read the response. "Your daughter-in-law and your son are drawing a totally appropriate boundary, and you need to stop trying to argue with them about it. Let this go. Do not rob this moment of its joy by keeping score and demanding more."
Do you think the mother-in-law had the right to be in the delivery room?
Mother-in-law problems: 4 Ways to set boundaries with love and respect
In the situation above, the mother-in-law was hurt because she felt excluded from an important moment. She felt it not only undermined her role as a grandmother, but her knowledge as a nurse.
Could it have been handled better? We will never know how their interaction truly went, but one things for sure, in mother-in-law problems and conflicts, setting boundaries is important.
But what's even more vital is not to burn bridges when your draw the line. Here are four ways to help make it easier.
1. Remember: be firm but don't be mean
Boundaries are important. They don't mean to hurt or devalue, but to allow for space to grow. It's important to be honest, keeping in mind your MIL's possible response based on her personality.
"Be clear, concise, yet kind. No matter how they try to manipulate you, stand your ground," psychotherapist and author Deanna Brann tells the Huffington Post. "If they're persistent, you may need to add consequences to whatever boundaries you have set. By letting them know in advance about boundaries and consequences, they'll be making the choice, not you, for what happens next."
2. Get your spouse to help
When it comes to mother-in-law problems, pushing back and setting boundaries should not be your burden alone. Your spouse has to step up sometimes and let his mum know when they are overstepping.
Though it won't be fair to put them in the middle of the conflict, if you try to take on you might just sacrifice your relationship with your mother-in-law. Seek your spouse's help if you feel like their meddling is interfering with the family you're building.
Getting your spouse to speak to them can ease the tension and make them more receptive.
3. Ask for their help
You don't have to shower them with compliments or put on a fake smile just to make them feel better. But you can genuinely remind them of their value in simple ways. This way, they will be more open to the boundaries you want to set.
Most of the time, mother-in-law problems stem from the hurt of no longer feeling needed. One good way to do this is by asking for their help.
"Look around and find a problem in your home or family that you could ask your in-law for advice on — a cooking or investing question, for instance," psychologist Greg Cason recommends.
"Then, go use the advice and report back about how helpful that advice was. Give lots of details," he says. "Your in-law will start liking you more because he or she feels respected. As a result, your in-law is less likely to invade."
4. Know when to compromise
This is easier said than done, but compromise is essential to resolving in-law conflicts. Manage your expectations and keep in mind that they might be overstepping. But they are coming from a good place.
After all, they are a part of your life. Yes, you can minimise interaction, but you can't totally shut them out. So you might as well try to achieve common ground, right? Who knows, you might end up growing closer because you established boundaries firmly but lovingly.
Let them be a part of their grandchild's life. Not only do they have a lifetime supply of wisdom to offer, they also have boundless amounts of love and patience that will help your child grow up feeling truly valued.

Chat rooms are virtual social spaces on the Internet, where users can communicate with each other. Chat rooms are extremely popular because of their unedited and instantaneous nature. Some chat rooms are used simply for entertainment purposes, perhaps based around a topic such as discussing a daily television soap opera. Others may be used for more serious discussions.
There has been increasing concern about the use of chat rooms for "grooming". "Grooming" is the term given to interaction between an adult and a child with an end view of sexualising that relationship. "Grooming" is illegal. You should always keep yourself safe by keeping personal information private, avoid sharing any personal information in the context of a chat session. Even if someone asks you directly, don't share information about where you live, your phone number, your real name or the names of family members and never arrange to meet alone, in real-life, someone who you only know from a chat room.
Many of the considerations which apply to chat rooms apply equally to instant messaging services and other social networking sites, such as MySpace, Twitter and Facebook. You can make sure that you are safe by following some simple guidelines, as outlined in the next few pages.

Comments on "Not known Details About Comedy Horror"


Manna From On High » PURSUING CHRIST!
Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Why did God take hold of each of us? Does He have a plan for us and a mark that we must reach to receive all that He is prepared to give us? The answer is an unqualified "yes." If we want the fullness of Christ we must not stop "short" of receiving "all" Christ has for us.
God has been dealing with me in a strange way for two weeks. I have been agonizing to reach the understanding of the Spirit's leading and work in me. At the same time Christ was telling me to prepare myself to come up higher. We cannot go "higher" without our flesh being further crucified and purified to give Jesus Christ greater dominion over us. Christ's Spirit was working in me to prepare me for spiritual growth, and the pruning process was sometimes uncomfortable.
David knew what work God needed to do in him in order for him to "gain back lost ground and go higher with God." David prayed for God to: Psalms 51:9-12 Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean Heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with Your generous Spirit. He understood that His spiritual needs could only be met through God.
I needed understanding and direction from the Holy Spirit to "reach higher" in Christ. I resorted to doing the usual amount of prayer, praise, study and meditating on God. 1Corinthians 13:12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. The Lord finally worked within me to desperately seek Christ to receive from Him my needed answers. It was then that I began to understand that I had to seek Him with all my heart and strength and earnestly desire to reach higher with God. There was an "asking, seeking, and knocking" that I had to do before God would listen to me. I had to appreciate the privilege of having more of God. If we do not treasure God's wonderful benefits and gifts then we will take them for granted and they will lose their power and become useless to us and the world.
Every spiritual blessing, revelation, or gift we receive from God begins and ends in Christ. For two days the words of Paul in Philippians rang loudly in my mind and spirit: Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. That scripture was saying to me that Paul hadn't reached perfection yet, and He was going to "press on" to Christ with all His might and power to become the unique spiritual person God called and chose Him to be. He was determined to reach the goal Christ had set before him and finish the works he was called to do. Christ was the image before him and he determined to be like Him.
Paul accomplished more spiritually and eternally than most of God's children ever accomplish, yet He knew God had called Him to do much more. Paul's answer was to pursue Christ with vigor and determination up to the end, so He could finish the race and win the prize Christ had for Him. Paul was consumed with the passion to reach the goal Christ had set for Him. 2Timothy 4:6-8 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
I see through the lives of the apostles the same passion to be "all" Christ called them to be. You can't cease pursuing the image and work of Christ before the end if you want to win the prize of "the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." I shudder that I would fail to bring Christ the glory He so richly deserves by being idle or stopping short of the goal. If we "pursue Christ" to the end of our lives, He will enable us to do everything we were meant to do. We cannot be lazy Christians! Nor can we expect Christ to do His will through us if we're not fully involved and pursuing His calling. If we receive the reward, we must give Christ our best efforts and work until the end. 2Peter 1:10-11 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Many of us are resting in Christ, when we should be pursuing Christ. Inviting Christ within us is only the beginning of our walk with Him. Just because we can't see what God wants us to be or do, we must remember that a walk of faith "is not seeing" ahead of time all that God has ordained for us. 2Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. We must seek Christ and pursue Him so He can fulfill His perfect will in us. We should not stop our pursuit of Christ until our work is finished or He appears.
Many of us "stop short" of bringing all the glory we could to the Kingdom of God because we don't realize there is much more to be received from Christ or we don't know how to proceed. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We must ask Christ not only to create His image within us, but we are to actively pursue our calling (work). Only Christ can fulfill within us the nature of Christ, His wisdom, and the power needed to bring to fruition His complete work in us. He must prepare us to work for Him.
Most of us recognize that in ourselves we can do nothing, but we are without excuse because the scripture says, Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. What we need and what the world lacks is more of Christ. We have been commissioned to take Christ to the world, live His life before all men, and to become the image of Christ. Christ is our mentor and the goal for our life. Oh, to be like Him and finish the works we are called to perform!
Many of God's children have become satisfied with crumbs when Christ has prepared for us a never-ending feast of knowledge, understanding and everything that it takes for "life and Godliness" 2Peter 1:3-4 As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and Godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.


A good way to think of strongman training is a combination of factors which include Crossfit and Powerlifting.
Strongmen have a focus on absolute strength, however they are functional athletes that have to cover many disciplines. There is less variety to their events compared with a crossfit athlete, which means they are able to focus on training specific lifts/events more frequently.
While most strongmen are not concerned about keeping their weight down, they generally look to build muscle size (hypertrophy) as well as absolute strength thanks to CNS stimulation.
Many strongman events do have a large cardiovascular factor, which is why strongmen must ensure they have adequate aerobic capacity and that these attributes are training regularly.
Bulk Ambassador Dave Napper is a powerlifter and strongman who trains for absolute strength in the gym. Dave has completed car walks and lifted seriously heavy atlas stones in the many strongman events he's competed in.
Dave's top products for strongmen include Carb+ as a balanced source of fuel during training and competitions, Muscle Food 101 to promote serious muscle growth and recovery, Acetyl Carnitine to assist with mental focus under extreme conditions and Creatine Monohydrate to promote strength and muscle size.

From The Ground Up: LiDAR and photogrammetry
Mark E. Meade, PE, PLS, CP
Not too long ago, a professional land surveyor whom I respect posed a very interesting question centering on the relationship between LiDAR and traditional photogrammetry: will LiDAR ever eliminate the need for aerial photography? The question was prompted from a debate in his surveying/engineering firm regarding the future of photogrammetry.
Together, LiDAR and traditional photogrammetry play a role in most large mapping projects today. LiDAR has evolved into an accurate, cost-effective method of generating the mass points used to create a digital elevation model. The increases in the accuracy of LiDAR sensors have been impressive, if not astonishing, over the last couple of years. Today's sensor technology allows us to place points on the ground at very dense postings and achieve extremely accurate elevations for these points.
Photography is still necessary, however, to generate breaklines at abrupt changes in the terrain. These breaklines are normally collected from photography at the edges of roadways and water bodies; at the tops and toes of slopes; along headwalls and retaining walls; and other places in the landscape with sudden changes in elevation. Stereo photography is also used for planimetric feature capture common in large-scale mapping. Typical planimetric features collected in mapping include the edges of roadways, building footprints, driveways, fences, utility poles, group vegetation, sidewalks and drainage features that are easily seen in project photography.
Photography also serves as the base for digital orthophotography. Digital orthophotos are generated for most mapping projects today to supplement topographic and planimetric mapping. They can be a significant source of information during planning and design, and serve as a useful tool for communicating with a lay audience that likely doesn't fully understand more traditional maps (such as at public hearings).
But are breaklines always required for topographic mapping? As data postings from LiDAR become denser, can mass points without breaklines provide an accurate model of the ground? Data postings from the LiDAR collection used for large-scale projects collected from fixed wing aircraft (airplanes) normally range from one to four points per square meter. Rotary wing aircraft (helicopters) can collect significantly more dense data, but unit costs compared to fixed wing are considerably higher due to the slower speeds and narrower swath widths common with this collection. Point densities of 80 or more points per square meter are common with helicopter-based units. At these densities, breaklines provide very little additional information to a digital elevation model. But helicopter-based applications are normally constrained to specialized applications because of the higher unit costs and not employed on typical large block projects like city/county or statewide mapping.
We will continue to collect a higher density of data as the LiDAR sensors continue to improve. We may get to the point where breaklines are not as necessary due to the increased density of the mass points available from fixed wing collection, but for most projects, we are not quite there yet.
Lidargrammetry is an interesting development for breakline collection and the compilation of some planimetric features without the use of photography. This new application of LiDAR technology refers to the creation of stereopairs from LiDAR intensity models that can subsequently be used in the soft copy photogrammetric collection. It works well in some areas of the country, particularly in areas with significant terrain relief that is covered by dense post spacings within the LiDAR acquisition. But it does not provide the same accuracy available from low-altitude photo flights (mainly due to the relative coarseness of the LiDAR coverage) and, therefore, its application is somewhat limited depending on the scope of the project.
There are some reasonably good methods and software for doing automated feature extraction from LiDAR data, but the accuracy and detail expected for most large-scale planimetric maps in terms of common features contained in the maps (roads, driveways, building footprints, sidewalks, manholes, curb inlets, utility poles, fences, group vegetation, etc.) require traditional mapping approaches from stereophotography.
Finally, LiDAR does not provide imagery, although the intensity of the returns or the ranges of elevation from LiDAR are often rendered to simulate imagery. Most units in use today have the ability to measure the amount of energy returned from each outgoing laser pulse, which is commonly referred to as the intensity, when the laser pulses are reflected off the ground. The intensity of a return off asphalt is very different from a return off concrete. Concrete is a highly reflective surface while the tar in asphalt absorbs quite a bit of the energy from the laser. Similarly, vegetation has a different reflectance when compared to bare ground. Water typically absorbs all of the energy from the laser. But intensity images don't provide nearly the same information due to the limited range of data and the relative coarseness of the data postings.
This elevation rendering of Charleston Harbor in South Carolina from LiDAR clearly shows the Arthur Ravenel Jr. cable-stayed bridge in the background and the retired aircraft carrier USS Yorktown along the right edge of the image. Considerable bathymetric detail can also be seen in the rendering of the water. Image courtesy of the NOAA Coastal Services Center.
Simultaneous Collection?
I am asked quite often why LiDAR and imagery are not collected together on most projects. That too is a great question. If they were collected together it would seem to save considerable money during the collection. Only one aerial platform would be mobilized to the site and total flying time over the project would be reduced. Flying has certainly become more expensive with today's fuel prices and the significant increases in insurance premiums for most aircraft after Sept. 11. Flying with two sensors requires two holes in the floor of the aircraft. Several platforms flown by aerial acquisition firms today have that capability.
But the challenges or issues with simultaneous collection generally preclude its application on most projects. Aerial photography depends on the sun to provide illumination of the ground for the imagery collection. Therefore, aerial cameras are known as passive sensors. Conversely, LiDAR is an active sensor. The laser is used to illuminate the ground. Because of this, LiDAR can be flown 24 hours a day. In fact, the majority of our LiDAR acquisition takes place outside the normal window for aerial photo collection. For a couple of our recent projects flown in the vicinity of Atlanta and Newark airports, collection at night when commercial air traffic was at a minimum was the only real option for data collection. In general terms, trying to collect the imagery and LiDAR together would result in a loss of anywhere from 21 to 16 hours (depending on the time of the season and the span of appropriate sun angles for imagery collection) of otherwise perfect collection time for LiDAR. When flying sensors that generally cost $1 million or more, it is important to maximize their use to keep unit costs down.
Secondly, the flying heights necessary for imagery and LiDAR collection are often different. Most LiDAR collection for 2-foot contour mapping is flown around 5,000 to 5,500 feet above ground. Two-foot contours are most often paired with 100' scale planimetric mapping and digital orthophotos at a 0.5-foot resolution or ground sample distance (GSD). Imagery collection to provide this resolution and planimetric accuracy is generally flown around 4,200 feet above ground. Moreover, the line spacing between parallel flight lines flown back and forth over a project is very different for LiDAR and imagery collection. At 4,200 feet above ground, the line spacing for imagery collection (assuming a typical large format camera) is 4,410 feet. At 5,000 feet above ground with a 30-degree field of view, the line spacing for LiDAR collection is about 1,900 feet. Similar arguments could be made for 1-foot contours paired with 50' scale mapping and 0.25-foot GSD orthophotos. The significant differences in flying height and line spacing provide a real challenge for simultaneous collection.
Complementary Collection
LiDAR and aerial photography provide a perfect complement for most mapping projects. The strength of LiDAR, namely the ability to place a large number of mass points on the ground in a very accurate fashion, works very well with the strengths of photography. Photography provides mapping professionals with the ability to collect accurate planimetric features and serves as the base for the creation of digital orthophotos, or accurate image-based maps. Improvements in LiDAR sensor technology and related software enhancements may transfer more of the mapping capabilities toward the LiDAR sensor. But for the foreseeable future, aerial photography will continue to serve an important role in most mapping projects.
