What Happens if a Child Wants to Live with the Other Parent?
The laws governing a child and his or her right to choose which parent with whom to reside are far from settled. In fact, laws vary widely from state to state. Many states have started to consider a child's stated preference for the parent with whom the child wishes to reside when the child reaches 12 or 13.
Notwithstanding a child's stated preference for the custodial relationship, the family judge presiding has nearly unfettered discretion as to whether the judge wants to take the child's preference into consideration and, if so, how to weight the child's preference in the decision-making process. The facts and circumstances of the particular case and parties involved factor highly in the ultimate decision-making process. As such, there is no boilerplate rule of thumb to apply to each case universally.
The older the child, the more likely the child's stated preferences will be considered by the presiding custody judge. In some child custody courts, children are allowed to complete an Affidavit of Preference and sign. The affidavit specifies the child's preference for his or her custodial parent.
Factors Judges Are Likely to Consider in a Child Custody Case
While there is no universal set of guidelines for custody preference situations, family judges are likely to consider the following factors when reviewing a child custody preference case, particularly when the preference is expressed in strong terms by the child:
- Reason(s) the child wishes to change custodial parent and residence
- Any significant factors occurring in the child's life
- Level of stability of the parent with whom the child prefers to live
- Level of dependability of the parent with whom the child prefers to live
- Level of child's maturity (social)
- Level of child's emotional development
- Level of child's intellectual development
- Child's understanding and ability to cope with changes involved in altering a custody arrangement
- Level of support of each parent for the child's preference
- Whether either parent disapproves of the child's preference
- Presence of any manipulation or pressure by either parent
- Whether the move fosters the child's long-term best interests
- Demonstration of any significant and long-term benefit to the child from the move
- Communication of reasons for the move by the child
- Presence of any uncertainty, confusion, fear, or insincerity in the child's expression of a custodial parent preference
Judges may prefer to discuss custodial parent preferences and custody arrangements with children in chambers in a more private setting. In such situations, the attorneys and parents are excluded from the conversation. In the rarest of situations and often as a last resort when there is no other alternative available, children may be asked to testify as to custodial arrangements and custodial parent preferences.

2003: History of Nutrient Loading in Lake Matoaka
Daniel Thomas (Biology)
We examined one potential cause of the hyper-eutrophic state of Lake Matoaka, nutrient loading incurred through changing land use in the watershed over the last seventy-years. Empirical historical analysis by use of sediment cores or other means is difficult, so we used a mathematical model, Generalized Watershed Loading Functions (GWLF), to predict nutrient and sediment flow into the lake. Input into the model includes soil-type and land use ratios, and climate data. Changing land use was estimated by digitizing aerial photographs from approximately every ten years, from 1937 to 2000. GWLF predicted increasing loads of nitrogen and phosphorus as deforestation and development increased in the watershed, but decreased erosion/sediment. The nitrogen and phosphorus increases were expected, but heavy sedimentation has been observed for the lake in the past decades, contrary to the predictions of the model. This can be explained by the large intervals between aerial photographs; data from every ten years misses the vulnerable, transitional periods that soon-to-be-developed plots of land must undergo, when soils are exposed and disrupted, causing heavy erosion from rainfall. The results from GWLF point to development and deforestation of the College Woods as a likely cause of the eutrophication of Lake Matoaka.

Nov. 13, 2006
PALO ALTO, Calif. - Santa Clara concluded their regular season Sunday, dropping a 13-5 decision to No. 4 ranked Stanford. With the loss, Santa Clara sits at 13-14 overall, but with a commanding 11-3 record in the Western Water Polo Association.
Stanford had a strong first quarter, jumping out to a 3-0 lead and then a 4-1 lead at the end of the first quarter. At halftime, down 8-1, Santa Clara started to turn things around. In the third quarter, Santa Clara managed two goals, holding Stanford to only one. But in the fourth, Santa Clara's two goals weren't enough, as Stanford added four more goals to account for the final 13-5 margin.
Broncos leading scorer Jack Wall had a pair of goals, a steal, two kickouts drawn and a 5M penalty shot drawn. Tommy Hendrickson and Tommy Kelly each contributed a goal of their own and Mike Detoy, added a goal and four kickouts drawn. Robert Callahan started in the cage and made six blocks and allowed nine goals before Jon Young replaced him. Young had four blocks and gave up four goals.
Santa Clara now heads to the WWPA Championships in Pomona, Calif., which begin Thursday, November 16th. Santa Clara holds a No. 4 seed, which means they will play Air Force, a team they defeated two weeks ago in Davis, Calif. by a score of 12-8.

PAMA Pushes AUC Forward
Following the implementation dates and guidelines for Appropriate Use Criteria is both important and confusing. Read the most current mandates to maintain your reimbursement status.
When will providers be required to use Appropriate Use Criteria when ordering imaging?
Section 218(b) of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (PAMA) directed CMS to establish a program beginning on Jan. 1, 2017, mandating ordering physicians to consult Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) prior to referring Medicare beneficiaries for advanced diagnostic imaging services. However, due to implementation problems, enforcement has been delayed. The AUC are defined as criteria that are evidence-based (to the extent feasible) and assist professionals who order and furnish applicable imaging services to make the most appropriate treatment decisions for a specific clinical condition. The ACR has created and updated such criteria for decades, and these resources will be applicable under the AUC mandate.
To whom does PAMA apply?
The PAMA legislation mandates that AUC be consulted for all advanced diagnostic imaging services. CMS stated in the 2017 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) final rule that it does not have statutory authority to limit the consultation requirement to certain clinical areas. While the statutory language mandated an effective date of Jan. 1, 2017, the timing of the rulemaking process used by CMS made it extremely difficult to achieve this implementation date. In the MPFS final rule, CMS indicated that it will continue to aggressively implement this AUC program, and the first qualified clinical decision support mechanisms (CDSMs) to support the rule were announced on June 30, 2017. The agency expected that furnishing professionals (those performing the imaging) would be required to begin reporting AUC consultation on Jan. 1, 2018. CMS also indicated in the final rule that there was to be further rulemaking issued and completed in 2017 for calendar year 2018, which, indeed, has come to pass.
Is that enough time?
In the 2018 MPFS proposed rule, CMS acknowledged concerns raised by many medical specialty societies about their readiness for a Jan. 1, 2018, start date and their requests that the agency delay until after implementation of the Quality Payment Program (QPP). As a result, CMS proposed moving the date to Jan. 1, 2019. Due to the complex nature of the AUC program, CMS also proposed an "educational and operations testing period" as part of the implementation lasting one year beginning Jan. 1, 2019. During this period, ordering professionals (referring physicians) would consult AUC and furnishing professionals would report AUC consultation information on the claim, but CMS would continue to pay claims whether or not the correct information was included. The agency noted that this educational period would allow professionals to actively participate in the program while avoiding claims denials during the learning curve. It would also give CMS an opportunity to make any needed claims-processing adjustments before payments are impacted.
Will reporting be voluntary or required?
CMS expects a voluntary reporting period to begin around July 2018. The timing of this opportunity for voluntary reporting is dependent on the readiness of the Medicare claims system to accept and process claims that include AUC consultation information. This is consistent with the proposal in the recently released QPP proposed rule to give Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) credit to ordering professionals for consulting AUC using a qualified CDSM as a high-weight improvement activity for the performance period beginning Jan. 1, 2018.
How do the ACR Appropriateness Criteria® factor in?
In conjunction with the release of the MPFS proposed rule, CMS announced the list of qualified CDSMs and new qualified provider-led entities on its website. The ACR Select® program, which incorporates the ACR Appropriateness Criteria®, is on the list of qualified CDSMs and is the only qualified mechanism that currently includes a free web-based portal option for providers.
How will the AUC consultation be reported on claims?
The agency proposed specific claims-processing instructions for the AUC program, namely establishing a series of Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System level-3 codes. These G-codes (reporting codes developed by CMS) would describe the specific CDSMs that were used by the ordering professional. CMS also proposed the use of several modifiers to indicate whether the ordered test was adherent with the AUC requirement. The ACR has some concerns with the proposed claims-processing instructions and submitted recommendations to CMS.
What are the consequences for providers who do not follow AUC guidelines when ordering imaging?
The PAMA statute requires the identification of outlier ordering professionals, who will be subject to a prior-authorization requirement beginning on Jan. 1, 2020. With the delay of implementation until Jan. 1, 2019, it is likely that CMS will also delay the identification of outlier ordering professionals. This will be discussed in future rulemaking.
The list of priority clinical areas will serve as the basis for identifying outlier ordering professionals and includes the following clinical conditions: coronary artery disease (suspected or diagnosed), suspected pulmonary embolism, headache (traumatic and nontraumatic), hip pain, low back pain, shoulder pain (to include suspected rotator cuff injury), cancer of the lung (primary or metastatic, suspected or diagnosed), cervical or neck pain. Future MPFS rules are expected to provide further clarity on the concept of prior authorization.
Are there any exceptions?
PAMA allows for some exceptions to the AUC consultation mandate. Consulting and reporting requirements are not required for orders for applicable imaging services made by ordering professionals under the following circumstances: 1) when emergency services are provided to individuals with emergency medical conditions, 2) for inpatients for whom payment is made under Medicare Part A, and 3) when ordering professionals are granted a significant hardship exception to the Medicare Electronic Health Record Incentive Program payment adjustment for that year.
CMS acknowledged that most of the exempt emergent situations will occur primarily in the emergency department but that these situations may arise in other settings as well. Further, the agency recognizes that most encounters in the emergency department are not for an emergency medical condition. The rule states, "To meet the exception for an emergency medical condition, the clinician only needs to determine that the medical condition manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in: placing the health of the individual (or a woman's unborn child) in serious jeopardy; serious impairment to bodily functions; or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part." In the 2018 rulemaking cycle, CMS proposed to create a G-code to indicate that an ordering professional is exempt from the requirement.
When will we receive more information?
While the MPFS proposed rule released in July provided some additional details on program implementation, there continue to be some questions and concerns about these proposals. The ACR submitted detailed comments on the proposed rule to CMS in September, and we expect to have received further information when the final rule is published in late October/early November (not yet available at the time of this printing).
What should I do now?
The ACR recommends that radiologists communicate with their referring physicians to ensure that they are aware of the forthcoming mandate. Referring physicians should become familiar with the available CDSM options (including ACR Select®) posted on the CMS website (bit.ly/CDSmechanisms). The ACR also encourages providers to participate in the free Radiology Support, Communication, and Alignment Network (R-SCAN®), a collaborative action plan that brings radiologists and referring clinicians together to improve imaging appropriateness through the use of CDS. R-SCAN also has been approved by CMS as an improvement activity under MIPS. Learn more at rscan.org.

It was challenging. Some elements of the projects did not make sense as they were presented, but the instructors gave a decent explanation of why those would be relevant, e.g. something would have already been determined in a real life use of such a function.

Every week Hannibal Tabu (two-time Eisner-winning journalist/blogger/novelist/poet/jackass on Twitter/head honcho of Komplicated.com) goes to a comic book store called Comics Ink in Culver City, CA (Overland and Braddock -- hey Steve, Jason, Vince and Quislet) and grabs a whole lotta comics. These periodicals are quickly sorted (how) into two piles -- the "buy" pile (a small pile most weeks, comprised of planned purchases) and the "read" pile (often huge, often including comics that are really crappy but have some value to stay abreast of). Thursday afternoons you'll be able to get his thoughts (and they're just the opinions of one guy, so calm down, and here's some common definitions used in the column) about all of that... which goes something like this...
(No Publisher)
To be fair, it looks like, what... ten actual comic books were distributed through Diamond this week. Looks like the whole industry hung up the Charles Barkley "Gone Fishin'" sign. So no "official" purchases. Unofficially -- because not buying anything is rude -- the column picked up the "Prince of Cats" OGN (whch is a bit too lengthy to be reviewed in the time we have available here) and the first two issues of "Shadowman," which were considered "very close" in some very crowded weeks. So, no buying recommendations from what shipped this week, save the fact that... well, we'll discuss that in a moment...
Inexpensive, at least.
Honorable Mentions: Stuff worth noting, even if it's not good enough to buy
Once upon a time, a little website aimed at Black geeks ran a program called #whodwin Wednesday where fans argued which characters could beat the hell out of other characters in "Thunderdome" conditions -- no escape, no preparation, dropped in to an enclosed space with only one instruction: smackdown. It was far from the first time people had engaged in these kinds of discussions, a comic shop staple for decades, and even played a role in great moments like "Contest of Champions" or the much lauded "Secret Wars." #whodwin Wednesday was, however, organized and reasoned and forced to follow certain rules. Why mention any of this? It's not to say the dollar comic "Deathmatch" from BOOM! is derivative -- perish the thought -- as it's populated by Captain Ersatz analogues like "Jewish Hulk" (really), a moderately powered Batman send-up and a Black Superman who (of course) is the first to die. Despite Paul Jenkins trying valiantly to imbue this collection of stereotypes, cliches and familiar strains and samples of songs you already know with some kinds of emotional resonance, nothing stands above its source material, the action scenes are serviceable but not memorable and even the Rorschach analogue seems to be trying too hard. Interesting to see if it can catch on, because sales on "Civil War" surely taught the industry that its meat-and-potatoes fans love to see the core characters tear each other down.
With a twist ending wholly unexpected, Brian Wood again lays claim to the future with "Mara" #1, more "Hunger Games" than dystopia. The lead character's as dull as a brick and the supporting ones may as well have been named Darko and Mark Madsen for all they contributed. Still, intricate world building and a sneaky last few pages make it at least "TV good."
The "Meh" Pile Not good enough to praise, not bad enough to insult, not important enough to say much more than the title
"Aquaman" #15, "The Shadow Special" #1, "Before Watchmen: Nite Owl" #4, "Hip Flask: Ouroborous"
No, just... no... These comics? Not so much ...
"Amazing Spider-Man" #700. No. Really. There's not much more to say about [SPOILER] something like this, a development that's already drawing "Clone Saga" comparisons and... look, just "no," really.
Swap the Serpent Crown for a mysteriously misfired missile and "Justice League" #15 could easily fit in with 1989's Atlantis Attacks or maybe even "Amazons Attack" as US cities get flooded (*cough*Ultimatum*cough*) to prepare for an invasion by angry undersea warriors sick of the surface world's incursions, et cetera, ad nauseum for comics cliches about Atlantis from the last century. Add to this the tyro League acting like they just met (which doesn't make sense after the Steve Trevor issue) and you have a tedious exercise made more abysmal by the corruption of Billy Batson into a beer-swiping, petulant jerk.
Can one have a team up with... no one? "Avenging Spider-Man" #15.1 answers that with an entire issue worth of monologuing as the "new" Spider-Man gets settled into Peter Parker's life while getting an early start on topping Reed Richards' chauvinist streak and generally being a jerk. Not even a funny jerk, at that. Can we just fast forward to the "triumphant return" the guys in licensing will demand by the time the next movie rolls around?
Pretty crappy, to be honest.
Three awful stinkers easily beat out nothing being good enough to buy to end 2012 on a sour note.
As of right now, you can spend ten bucks and get about 175,000 of fiction from the writer of this column. The links that follow tell you where you can get The Crown: Ascension and Faraway, five bucks a piece. Love these reviews? It'd be great if you picked up a copy. Hate these reviews? Find out what this guy thinks is so freakin' great. There's free sample chapters too, and all proceeds to towards the care and maintenance of his kids ... oh, and to buy comic books, of course. What are you waiting for? Go buy a freakin' book already!
Got a comic you think should be reviewed in The Buy Pile? If we get a PDF of a fairly normal length comic (i.e. "less than 64 pages") by no later than 24 hours before the actual issue arrives in stores (and sorry, we can only review comics people can go to stores and buy), we guarantee the work will get reviewed, if remembered. Physical comics? Geddouttahere. Too much drama to store with diminishing resources. If you send it in more than two days before comics come out, the possibility of it being forgotten increases exponentially. Oh, you should use the contact form as the CBR email address hasn't been regularly checked since George W. Bush was in office. Sorry!

CD / DVD Production
When producing copies of your DVD or CD it's important you get what you actually need in terms of quality, quantity and whether they should be duplicated or replicated. We will advise on which is best for you. We offer CD duplication Cheshire, Staffordshire, North Wales and the rest of the UK.
Many people are not sure of the difference between duplication and replication. Here's a quick guide.
Duplication is a process carried out here in the studios which, using copiers designed specifically for the process, takes your Master CD and copies it to a number of others. This process can provide you with any number of copies from one to a thousand. However, it is best suited to very low numbers of copies, say less than 300. This is a quick process and for low volumes can often be completed the same day.
Replication is an entirely different process and your Master CD is used to create a "Glass Master" which is then "pressed" in a pressing plant. This is a very specialised process and is used when you want volumes of several hundred right though to tens of thousands. It does however take two or three weeks to get the finished product but is much cheaper for large quantities.
So, if you know you only need a few copies and you need them quickly, then duplication is probably the way to go but for larger volumes replication is the best and most cost effective option. Either way, we are more than happy to advise on the best and most cost effective option for you.

British Manufacturer SAVORTEX today sees a stylish addition to their sustainable hand dryer range, with the launch of the Vortex 540 Diamond White model.
SAVORTEX, the young and ambitious, technology-driven British Manufacturer of energy efficient hand dryers has launched a new addition to its Vortex EcoSmart Range: The Vortex 540 Diamond White hand dryer. The anti-bacterial gloss-finished product boasts significant improvements to their established low energy and sustainable power hand drying range. This is set to change the way in which hand dryers are selected by facilities managers and specifiers due to its patented energy recovery technique and low life cycle operating costs.
The Vortex Diamond White, priced competitively at £599.99, dries hands in seconds and boasts unique digital 'brushless' bypass motor technology with patented energy recovery system; which put simply, means they are super energy efficient, through smart air flow movement, when compared to the similar power hand dryers that are available.
The Vortex motor runs at just 19,200 revolutions per minute (RPM) creating output air speed of 30 L/s per second; maximising the energy efficiency of the motor without compromising performance.
Syed Ahmed, Managing Director, SAVORTEX said: "Today's launch is a key milestone for our Vortex 540 range. We remain absolutely firm in our ambitious roll out of such a sustainable, clean, energy-efficient power hand dryer and one that is available immediately. We have invested heavily in British Manufacturing to develop a range of hand dryers that will deliver quick paybacks to our customers. Our Vortex Diamond White now uses the more improved lower power consumption of 545W, the hand dryer allows for unrivalled market-leading cost and energy savings that can boost the bottom line, this is why we spent 4 years developing a home grown - superior hand dryer that saves money, energy and that powerfully dries hands. Clients such as British Airways, Marriott Hotels and Atomic Weapons Establishment are testament to the hard work our engineering team have put in to the development and launch of the Vortex range".
The Vortex 540 Diamond White hand dryer is the result of six years of scientific research and product development, using just 545W of power compared to as much as 2400W with conventional dryers. The Vortex is so energy efficient that 43 hand dries can cost as little as 1p operating cost and it comes with a leading 7 year, no quibble warranty as standard.
SAVORTEX are British Manufacturers of energy-efficient, sustainable washroom power hand dryers. The Vortex 540 is also available in metallic grey.
SAVORTEX holds The Guinness World Records title for most hands dried using 30kJ of energy. This was devised by Guinness World Records officials as a challenge to measure the energy efficiency in hand drying. The Vortex EcoSmart successfully dried four pairs of hands using less than 30kJ of energy. Typically, hand dryers use between 72kJ and 96kJ of power to dry just one pair of hands.
SAVORTEX successfully achieved four pairs of dry hands using just under 25kJ of energy – smashing the minimums set by Guinness World Records officials and claiming the world record.

John McCain helped Sarah Palin launch her national political career two years ago. Now, she's trying to help McCain save his.
The former Republican presidential candidate and his vice president pick will campaign together Friday for the first time since losing the presidential race in 2008.
Palin was a first-term governor of Alaska when McCain plucked her from relative obscurity to be his running mate. She went on to become a conservative star and a key Republican critic of President Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress.
IN PICTURES: Sarah Palin and John McCain
McCain is fighting for his political life. Fending off a primary challenge from the right, the four-term Arizona senator is facing the toughest re-election campaign of his Senate career.
Former congressman and conservative talk-radio host JD Hayworth says McCain is too moderate for Arizona Republicans. He points to McCain's reputation for working with Democrats on key issues such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and restricting campaign donations.
Palin will help McCain tout his conservative credentials at rallies in Tucson on Friday and the Phoenix suburb of Mesa on Saturday. They'll hold a fundraiser on Friday at the same Phoenix hotel where they conceded the presidential election on Nov. 4, 2008.
Hayworth has tried to define himself as "the consistent conservative" in contrast to the "maverick" McCain.
Before Hayworth left his radio show to officially enter the race, he used the airwaves to attack McCain's congressional record, most notably his work with the late Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy on a bill that would have created a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
Now, Hayworth is hoping to topple one of the Republican Party's best-known figures by reaching out to conservative activists.
Hayworth said Palin is repaying McCain for launching her national political career.
"We look forward to having Gov. Palin's support following the primary," Hayworth said. "But we welcome her and we understand why she's in the state stumping for McCain."
Palin's popularity and fundraising power is largely unmatched on the right. But she's also been berated as a lightweight not prepared for national office, and she was criticized last year for resigning as Alaska governor before her term was up.
Palin has admonished McCain's presidential campaign since their loss, saying in her book "Going Rogue" that there was substantial tension between her advisers and McCain's. She said she was kept "bottled up" from reporters during the campaign and was prevented from delivering a concession speech in Phoenix on Election Night.
Palin hasn't criticized McCain himself, however, and the senator has stood by his decision to choose her as his running mate, saying he was proud of the campaign and predicting she would be a "major player" in the Republican Party.
Palin took heat this week when she released a list of 20 U.S. House of Representatives seats she said conservatives should target in the upcoming midterm elections. The list, posted on her Facebook page, featured a U.S. map with circles and cross hairs over the 20 districts.
Critics said it was inappropriate to use gun imagery, especially as a handful of Democrats who supported the health care overhaul reported receiving threats of violence.
McCain defended Palin, saying it was common practice and "part of the lexicon" to refer to targeted congressional districts.

Sequester ground zero: 'Fayette-nam'
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Here in the military town home to Fort Bragg, long fighting off its nickname "Fayette-nam," the unemployment rate has soared above that in the rest of the country for years.
And things could get much worse, military officials, contractors and voters here fear, if Congress doesn't work out a deal before Jan. 2, when $500 billion in automatic defense cuts will take effect.
Story Continued Below
In Fayetteville alone, that could take a bite out of $640 million in government contracts that flow into companies here, like major contractors Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Booz Allen Hamilton.
The mood is so dark that even members of Congress who voted against sequestration in the first place fear they'll still get the blame — a sentiment shared by incumbents across the country.
"We put this in as a last-minute measure thinking that, certainly, it wouldn't go this way. Look where we are," said Rep. Larry Kissell (D-N.C.). "I voted against this every chance I got. It's just terrible legislation."
Democratic Rep. Mike McIntyre of Fayetteville is facing one of the toughest reelection battles of his 16-year career — and he's in the same spot.
"I did not vote for sequestration, and Congress must act to avoid sequestration," he said. "If not, there will be massive defense cuts that, as a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, I am gravely concerned."
Both of North Carolina's senators, Richard Burr, a Republican, and Kay Hagan, a Democrat, voted for the Budget Control Act of 2011, which put the cuts in place. They just never thought the cuts would take effect.
"I look back at it as a big regret," Burr told POLITICO.
So there they were, in Fayetteville earlier this week at a defense trade show to tell industry leaders they are doing everything they can to stop sequestration.
"We have got to sit down at the table, negotiate our difference and come together, and we need to do it as soon as possible," Hagan said.
"I think if we're going to blame Congress, we have to blame the administration," Burr said. "This requires leadership, and if the administration's going to show no leadership, then we're going to be in lame duck trying to figure out how to handle sequestration, and potentially with sequestration being a leverage point for the policies that come out of sequestration — that's a very dangerous, very dangerous thing to do given the financial shape of the country."

This is where I'd live.
So pretty. And magical.
This is where I'd bake cookies, biscuits and cakes.
And this is where I'd chill, with my cashmere blanket, my books, my hot chocolate and of course, my cookies, biscuits and cakes.
I like Porvoo. It's a nice town. With a really good coffee shop; a lovely Russian tea room and independent and quirky shops.
And it's only a hour from Helsinki by bus.
Win win.
I can see myself living there. I can. I really can.
Seriously. This is an affordable dream.
I've been spending my lunch breaks, all week, on Prian.eu (where the photos come from), feasting my eyes. Houses with sea views. Houses by lakes. Houses with a sauna.
But that dream is set to remain a dream. It is completely off limits.
Or is it?
A permanent move is off limits. I wonder whether a temporary one could be brought to the table – 3 months? 6 months?
Of course, we'd rent then, not buy. And probably in Helsinki.
That would still work for me.
Ah. A girl can dream.

I have to be honest here. I receive many CDs in the mail, and many more emails from people with links to music on their websites. Sometimes it's people wanting to have us release their albums, sometimes people wanting feedback or advice, and sometimes people just wanting to share.
What is our "demo submission policy"? I guess "Yeah, OK, send them."
but the reality is that I am pretty much always overwhelmed with all the art and words and music in the world already and I have almost no free brain time to listen to music at all, and when I do it's familiarity I crave. Experimenting with hearing new sounds can come to feel like "work", even when the sounds are amazing. So, I usually listen to my favorite music in the rare times I am listening to anything at all. Occasionally I try to listen to selections from the pile of CDRs from the mailbox, but the fact that it takes an effort to get to that point taints the listening experience and everything sounds like work.
Seeing this lifestyle from a distance probably looks bad, right? Wouldn't it be nice to have a bottomless well of open-mindedness and to have the time and energy to devote to receiving and processing the wealth of creativity constantly being produced in the world? Yes. But the fact is, I don't. I can't listen to everything with open ears, and it's a horrible feeling to listen to music as a chore. Maybe some people can, but not me. I can't listen to it all, and I especially can't comment on it. I can't even comment on my favorite music. It's music. It is already speaking for itself.
My blanket advice to people making music and seeking advice from me (for some reason): If you must, then do it. If there is no passion, if you aren't compelled to express something, then skip it. You don't need my (or anyone else's) advice. Make the thing you want to hear. Use the tools you have to make the finest thing possible. Start your own record label, or whatever. Do it. Everything is available. You don't have any money? It will be more challenging, but not impossible. You don't need to get "signed". Record labels are basically parasites anyway. But if your heart's not in it, why struggle? Read a book or something.

Hong Kongers yesterday voted in their most crucial election since the handover from Britain in 1997, the outcome of which could pave the way for a fresh round of political confrontations over Beijing's control of the territory.
The vote for Legislative Council lawmakers is to test the unity of Hong Kong's pro-democracy camp, as a new generation of activists, who emerged in the wake of the 2014 pro-democracy Umbrella movement, joined the race.
They are hoping to ride a rising tide of anti-China sentiment as they challenge formidably resourced pro-Beijing rivals for seats.
Many of the newcomers back the previously unthinkable idea of independence for Hong Kong, which has added to divisions with the broader pro-democracy movement and overshadowed the election.
Hong Kongers feel they have few other negotiating tactics left in their battle for genuine democracy as Beijing takes an increasingly hard-line stance.
"It's bleak, but I think if China doesn't leave us to do what we want, I think the only way is to fight for independence," said Aron Yuen, a 34-year-old college lecturer, as he stood in a line of about 100 other people to cast their ballots.
"You can't negotiate with somebody who doesn't keep their promise," Yuen said.
He planned to vote for the 23-year-old Nathan Law (羅冠聰) who, along with teen activist Joshua Wong (黃之鋒), played a key role leading the 2014 protests. Their party, Demosisto, advocates a referendum on "self-determination" of Hong Kong's future.
At stake is the power to keep the territory's widely unpopular Beijing-backed chief executive, Leung Chun-ying (梁振英), and his government in check. "Pan-democrat" lawmakers control 27 of 70 seats, compared with 43 held by lawmakers friendly to Beijing.
The democrats are fighting to keep control of at least a third of the seats, which gives them veto power to block government attempts to enact unpopular legislation, such as Beijing's controversial election revamp that triggered the 2014 street protests.

These Native American quotes are words of great wisdom that offer simple, inspirational guidance in living a spiritual, peaceful life.
Previously, this page contained Native American quotes that were not attributed to any particular person or tribe. They were all the quotes I had come across over the years that stated they were Native American. The few quotes that I had from specific Native American people were added to the pages relevant to their quote.
I have now changed this page and added two more:
The older picture-quotes will just have 'Native American' on them, rather than the newly found source. I will add more (with the right names) over time.

A warrior who had more than he needed would make a feast. He went around and invited the old and needy.
All over the sky a sacred voice is calling your name.
Behold this day. It is yours to make.
Crazy Horse dreamed and went into the world where there is nothing but the spirits of all things. That is the real world that is behind this one, and everything we see here is something like a shadow from that one.
Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a person is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours.
Great Spirit, the good road and the road of difficulties you have made me cross; and where they cross, the place is holy.
Grown men can learn from very little children, for the hearts of the little children are pure. Therefore, the Great Spirit may show to them many things which older people miss.

I cured with the power that came through me. Of course, it was not I who cured, it was the power from the Outer World; the visions and ceremonies only made me like a hole through which the power could come to the two-leggeds. If I thought that I was doing it myself, the hole would close up and no power could come through.
Know the power that is Peace.
Let every step you take upon the Earth be as a prayer.
Look to the old, they are worthy of old age; they have seen their days and proven themselves. With the help of the Great Spirit, they have attained a ripe old age. At this age the old can predict or give knowledge or wisdom, whatever it is, it is so.
May you always walk in beauty.
One should pay attention to even the smallest crawling creature for these too may have a valuable lesson to teach us.

Oglala Lakota
Peace will come to the hearts of men when they realize their oneness with the universe, it is everywhere.
Perhaps you have noticed that even in the slightest breeze you can hear the voice of the cotton tree; this we understand is its prayer to the Great Spirit, for not only men, but all things and all beings pray to Him continually in different ways.
The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the Souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that its center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the Souls of men.
The Great Spirit is everywhere; He hears whatever is in our minds and our hearts, and it is not necessary to speak to Him in a loud voice.
The Holy Land is everywhere.
You showed me… the spirit shape of things as they should be. You have shown me, and I have seen.
Chased-By-Bears 1843 - 1915
Santee-Yanktonai Sioux
So it is with Waken Tanka, we believe that He is everywhere.
When a man does a piece of work which is admired by all we say that it is wonderful; but when we see the changes of day and night, the sun, the moon, and the stars in the sky, and the changing seasons upon the Earth, with their ripening fruits, anyone must realize that it is the work of someone more powerful than man.
Cochise (Chief) 1812 - 1874

Oglala Sioux
A very great vision is needed and the man who has it must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky.
Upon suffering beyond suffering: the Red Nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world. A world filled with broken promises, selfishness and separations. A world longing for light again. I see a time of Seven Generations when all colors of mankind will gather under the Sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again. In that day, there will be those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things and the young white ones will come to those of my people and ask for this wisdom. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole Universe dwells. For when you are at that centre within you and I am that place within me, we shall be one.

Crowfoot (Chief) 1830 - 1890
A little while and I will be gone from among you, when I cannot tell. From nowhere we came, into nowhere we go.
What is life?...
It is the flash of firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
Dan George (Chief) 1899 - 1981
Can we talk of integration until there is integration of hearts and minds? Unless you have this, you only have a physical presence, and the walls between us are as high as the mountain range.
If the very old will remember, the very young will listen.
Love is something you and I must have. We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. We must have it because without it we become weak and faint. Without it our courage fails. Without love, we can no longer look confidently at the world. We turn inward.. And little by little we destroy ourselves. With it, we are creative. With it, we march tirelessly. With it, and with it alone, we are able to sacrifice for others.
May the stars carry your darkness away.
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty.
May hope forever wipe away your tears.
And above all, may silence make you strong.
Dan George (Chief) 1899 - 1981
My friends, how desperately do we need to be loved and to love. With it we are creative. With it we march tirelessly. With it, and with it alone, we are able to sacrifice for others.
The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass... speaks to me.
The summit of the mountain, the thunder of the sky
the rhythm of the sea... speaks to me.
The faintness of the stars, the freshness of the morning
the dew drop on the flower... speaks to me.
The strength of fire, the taste of salmon, the trail of the sun
and the life that never goes away.
They speak to me and my heart soars
The only thing necessary for tranquility in the world is that every child grows up happy.
Flat Iron (Chief)
From Wakan Tanka, the Great Mystery, comes all power. It is from Wakan Tanka that the holy man has wisdom and the power to heal and make holy charms. Man knows that all healing plants are given by Wakan Tanka, therefore they are holy. So too is the buffalo holy, because it is the gift of Wakan Tanka.

Sometimes we prayed in silence; sometimes each one prayed aloud; sometimes an aged person prayed for all of us - and to Usen.
There is one God looking down on us all. We are all children of one God. God is listening to me. The sun, the darkness, the winds, are all listening to what we now say.
When a child my mother taught me the legends of our people; taught me of the sun and sky, the moon and stars, the clouds and storms. She also taught me to kneel and pray to Usen for strength, health, wisdom and protection.
John Ross (Chief) 1790 - 1866
May the Lord bring you out of all your troubles. Trust your course with Him.
Our wish is for peace. Peace at home and peace among you.
Stand fast and remain united and all will soon be well.
We, the great mass of the people, think only of the love we have for our land, for we do love the land where we were brought up.
Joseph (Chief) 1840 - 1904
Nez Perce
It does not require many words to speak the truth.
The Earth and myself are of one mind.
The Great Spirit is looking at me and will hear me.
We were contented to let things remain as the Great Spirit made them.
Keokuk (Chief) c.1709 - 1848
The Great Spirit has smiled upon us and made us glad.
Leon Shenandoah (Chief) 1915 - 1996
Every human being has a sacred duty to protect the welfare of our Mother Earth, from whom all life comes. In order to do this we must recognize the enemy.. the one within us. We must begin with ourselves.
It is no longer good enough to cry peace, we must act peace, live peace and live in peace.
The greatest power is the Creator. But, if you want to know the greatest strength.. That is gentleness.
We are the spiritual energy that is thousands of times stronger than nuclear energy. Our energy in the combines will of all people with the spirit of the Natural World, to be of one body, one heart and one mind for peace.
We must live in harmony with the Natural World.
Luther Standing Bear (Chief) 1868 - 1939
Oglala Lakota
Conversation was never begun at once, nor in a hurried manner. No one was quick with a question, no matter how important, and no one was pressed for an answer. A pause giving time for thought was the truly courteous way of beginning and conducting a conversation. Silence was meaningful with the Lakota, and his granting a space of silence to the speech-maker and his own moment of silence before talking was done in the practice of true politeness and regard for the rule that, thought comes before speech.
If today I had a young mind to direct, to start on the journey of life, and I was faced with the duty of choosing between the natural way of my forefathers and that of the present way of civilization, I would, for its welfare, unhesitantly set that child's feet in the path of my forefathers. I would raise him to be an Indian.
Out of the Indian approach to life there came a great freedom, an intense and absorbing respect for life, enriching faith in a Supreme Power and principles of truth, honesty, generosity, equity, and brotherhood as a guide to mundane relations.
The American Indian is of the soil, whether it be the region of forests, plains, pueblos, or mesas. He fits into the landscape, for the hand that fashioned the continent also fashioned the man for his surroundings. He once grew as naturally as the wild sunflowers, he belongs just as the buffalo belonged.
The man who sat on the ground in his tipi meditating on life and its meaning, accepting the kinship of all creatures and acknowledging unity with the universe of things, was infusing into his being the true essence of civilization.
The old Lakota was wise. He knew that a man's heart away from nature becomes hard. He knew that lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to lack of respect for humans, too. So he kept his children close to nature's softening influence.
We did not think of the open plains, the beautiful rolling hills, the winding streams with tangled growth as wild. Only the white man was nature a wilderness, and only to him was it 'infested' with 'wild' animals and 'savage' people. To us it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery.
Maquinna (Chief)
Once I was in Victoria, and I saw a very large house. They told me it was a bank and that the white men place their money there to be taken care of, and that by and by they got it back with interest. We are Indians and we have no such bank; but when we have plenty of money or blankets, we give them to other chiefs and people, and by and by they return them with interest, and our hearts feel good. Our way of giving is our bank.
Mourning Dove 1888 - 1936
aka Christal Quintasket
Children were encouraged to develop a strict discipline and a high regard for sharing. When a girl picked her first berries and dug her first roots, they were given away to an elder so she would share her future success. When a child carried water for the home, an elder would give compliments, pretending to taste meat in water carried by a boy or berries in that of a girl. The child was encouraged not to be lazy and to grow straight like a sapling.
Everything on Earth has a purpose, every disease a herb to cure it, and every person a mission. This is the Indian theory of existence.
Nikinapi (Chief) ? - c.1750
Never has the Earth been so lovely nor the sun so bright, as today.
Ohiyesa 1858 - 1939
aka Charles Alexander Eastman
Santee Dakota
Each Soul must meet the morning sun, the new, sweet Earth and the Great Silence, alone.
It is our belief that the love of possessions is a weakness to be overcome. Its appeal is to the material part, and if allowed its way, it will in time disturb one's spiritual balance. Therefore, children must early learn the beauty of generosity. They are taught to give what they prize most, that they may taste the happiness of giving.
We were taught generosity to the poor and reverence for the Great Mystery. Religion was the basis of all Indian training.
Whenever, in the course of the daily hunt, the hunter comes upon a scene that is strikingly beautiful, or sublime - a black thundercloud with the rainbow's glowing arch above the mountain, a white waterfall in the heart of a green gorge, a vast prairie tinged with the blood-red of the sunset - he pauses for an instant in the attitude of worship.
aka Shooter
Teton Lakota
All birds, even those of the same species, are not alike, and it is the same with animals and with human beings. The reason Wakan Tanka does not make two birds, or animals, or human beings exactly alike is because each is placed by Wakan Tanka to be an independent individuality and to rely upon itself.
All living creatures and all plants derive their life from the sun. if it were not for the sun, there would be darkness and nothing would grow - the earth would be without life. Yet the sun must have the help of the earth. If the sun alone were to act upon animals and plants, the heat would be so great and they would die, but there are clouds that bring rain, and the action of the sun and earth together supplies the moisture that is needed for life. The roots of a plant go down, and the deeper they go the more moisture they find. This is according to the laws of nature and is one of the evidences of the wisdom of Wakan Tanka.
From my boyhood I have observed leaves, trees, and grass, and I have never found two alike. They may have a general likeness, but on examination I have found that they differ slightly. It is the same with animals… it is the same with human beings, there is some place which is best adapted to each.
Oren Lyons 1930
Although we are in different boats, you in your boat and we in our canoe, we share the same river of life.
I do not see a delegation for the four-legged, I see no seat for the eagles. We forget and we consider ourselves superior, but we are, after all, a mere part of creation and we must consider to understand where we are. And we stand somewhere between the mountain and the ant, as part and parcel of Creation.
Science can point out dangers, but science cannot turn the direction of minds and hearts. That is the province of spiritual powers within and without, our very beginnings, powers that are mysteries of life itself.
The environment isn't over here.
The environment isn't over there.
You are the environment.
We say that the faces of coming generations are looking up from the Earth. So when you put your foot down, you put your foot down very carefully - because there are generations coming one after another. If you think in these terms, then you'll walk a lot more carefully, be more respectful of this Earth.
What you people call your natural resources, our people call our relatives.
Petalesharo (Chief) c.1797 - c.1836
This brings rest to my heart, I feel like a leaf after a storm, when the wind is still.
Pied Riche (Chief)
We must help one another and the Great Spirit will help us both, because one suffers and does not deserve it, is no reason he shall suffer always. We may live to see it right yet. If we do not.. our children will.
Red Cloud (Chief) 1822 - 1909
Oglala Lakota
God Almighty has made us all.
I hope the Great Heavenly Father, who will look down upon us, will give all the tribes His blessing, that we may go forth in peace, and live in peace all our days, and that He will look down upon our children and finally lift us far above this Earth; and that our Heavenly Father will look upon our children as His children, that all the tribes may be His children, and as we shake hands today upon this broad plan, we may forever live in peace.
We do not want riches but we do want to train our children right. Riches would do us no good. We could not take them with us to the other world. We do not want riches. We want peace and love.
Red Fox (Chief) 1870 - 1976
Oglala Lakota
No one ever saw an Indian destroy something the Great Creator gave to man for his needs.
Robert Higheagle c.1873 - 1938
Teton Sioux
It is strictly believed and understood by the Sioux that a child is the greatest gift from Wakan Tanka, in response to many devout prayers, sacrifices, and promises. Therefore the child is considered 'sent from Wakan Tanka' through some element, namely the element of human nature.
Seattle (Chief) 1780 - 1866
Suquamish & Duwamish
All things share the same breath: the beast, the tree the man. The air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.
Day and night cannot dwell together. Your religion was written on tables of stone, ours was written on our hearts.
Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people.
How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Every part of this Earth is sacred to my people. We are part of the Earth and it is part of us. The perfumed flowers are our sisters - the deer, the horse, the great eagle - these are our brothers. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. All things are connected like the blood which unites one's family. All things are connected.
Our bare feet are conscious of the sympathetic touch of our ancestors as we walk over this Earth.
Our God is also your God. The Earth is precious to Him.
Take nothing but memories, leave nothing but footprints.
There is no death, only a change of worlds.
Seattle (Chief) 1780 - 1866
Suquamish & Duwamish
Today is fair. Tomorrow may be overcast with clouds. My words are like the stars that never change.
We are all children of the Great Spirit, we all belong to Mother Earth.
We are but a thread in the web of life. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together, all things are connected.
Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the Earth is our mother? What befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. This we know: the Earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the Earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
Senachwine (Chief) c.1744 - 1831
Return not evil for evil, as this would offend the Great Spirit.
The monitor within my breast has taught me the will of the Great Spirit.
Sequichie Comingdeer
The death of fear is in doing what you fear to do.
Sitting Bull (Chief) 1831 - 1890
Dakota Sioux
Each man is good in His sight. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows.
God made me an Indian.
I am here by the will of the Great Spirit, and by His will I am a chief.
I know the Great Spirit is looking down upon me from above, and will hear what I say.
In my early days I was eager to learn and to do things, and therefore I learned quickly.
Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children.
The Earth has received the embrace of the sun and we shall see the results of that love.
Standing Bear (Chief) c1829 - 1908
Certain small ways and observances sometimes have connection with large and more profound ideas.
This hand is not the color of yours, but if you pierce it, I shall feel pain. If you pierce your hand, you also feel pain. The blood that will flow from mine will be the same color as yours. I am a man. God made us both.
Tecumsah (Chief) 1768 - 1813
Although ice and snow may lie deep upon my wigwam, I should find a warm fire within.
I have made myself what I am.
Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about his religion.
Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life. Perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long and of service to your people.
Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,
Or even a stranger, if in a lonely place.
Show respect to all people, but grovel to none.
When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light,
for your life, for your strength.
Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.
Touch not the poisonous firewater that makes wise ones turn to fools
And robs their spirit of its vision.
When your time comes to die,
be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death,
So that when their times comes they weep and pray
for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.
Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
White Eagle (Chief) 1840 - 1914
When you are in doubt, be still, and wait. When doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage. So long as mists envelop you, be still. Be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists, as it surely will.. Then act with courage.
Wooden Leg 1858 - 1940
The old Indian teaching was that it is wrong to tear loose from its place on the Earth anything that may be growing there. It may be cut off, but it should not be uprooted. The trees and the grass have spirits. Whenever one of such growth may be destroyed by some good Indian, his act is done in sadness and with a prayer for forgiveness because of his necessities.
Wovoka 1856 - 1932
aka Jack Wilson
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.
Yellow Lark (Chief) 1840 - 1914
O Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind, whose breath gives life to all the world. Hear me: I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people. Help me to remain calm and strong in the face of all that comes towards me. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. Help me seek pure thoughts and act with the intention of helping others. Help me find compassion without empathy overwhelming me. I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy, Myself. Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes. So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame. - translated by Chief Yellow Lark

Knowing where you are is one of the essential things in urban life and web 2.0. Some weeks ago, I was using Google Maps on my iPhone. And guess what, it was locating me at a completely wrong position. Instead of being located at my new offices location, the iPhone located me 1 km north-east, at my old offices location. And judging it from the size of the blue circle around the location, it was pretty sure it would be right. Well, how could this be?
Since the introduction of the iPhone, almost all phone manufacturers provide some kind of functionality to locate yourself. Though many of us think this is always done by using the well-known GPS, this is is not really true. Even in case a mobile phone has a GPS receiver, is it not 100% sure that it can be used to determine your position. GPS tracks down your position by connecting to satellites. But you need a connection to at least 3 GPS satellites, to get some meaningful information on your position.This works best, when the phone is located under a clear sky. In cities or even houses, this is not really possible. So there is a fallback solution called "Assisted GPS" (AGPS). This simply means: In case it takes too long to find a real GPS connection, there are some fallback meachanisms.
The first fallback is called "triangulation". When a mobile phone is connected to a network, it is always connected to a signal providers antenna. Depending on the signal strength, you can determine how far the phone is away from that antenna. If in reach of three different antennas, the phone can approximate where it is located. It still does not know EXACTLY where it is, but it can make an educated guess.
WLAN / WiFi
The second fallback is wi-fi (WLAN). Most modern mobile phones support these wireless network connections and always scan for available WLAN networks. This is great for positioning: If you are in reach of a WLAN hotspot and you know where this WLAN hotspot is located, you know where you are. When Google was sending around his streetview cars in Germany, it was also detecting wireless networks – and mapping their global position. So with this data, you can also make an educated guess where you are. It is even more accurate than the "triangulation" explained before, since the signal reach of a WLAN is much less (200m?) than a mobile phone providers triangulation area (~2km).
Where it breaks
The only problem: A network providers antenna is always located at the same position. WiFi routers might not. Last spring we moved office. The new building is built with a lot of steal, not really good for signals coming through. So there is a very bad GPS connection, the phone connection is also not so well. So my iPhone falls back to WLAN detection. Looks like on my iPhones "World WLAN map" my office WLAN is still located at our old location and they did not do any updates so far.
So the whole fall-back plan is working fine, until people move house/office and take their WLAN routers with them. Let's hope that the iPhone software is clever enough to trust the "more accurate" WLAN data only in case its' estimated location is WITHIN the "less accurate" triangulation location. – Otherwise you and your WLAN router might move to Japan, and your iPhone still thinks it is located at home.

Thought it was a great intro to Meteor. Practical and easy to follow along, at least for someone like me with a Comp Sci background (though it has been many years since I really programmed).

By Keith C•
Aug 07, 2018
Unfortunately I can't give this course a higher grade because of the issues I (and many others, looking at the forums) had in setting up & using Meteor on Windows. This caused me a lot of lost time, to the point where I almost gave up altogether. Furthermore, there are many mistakes & errors in the course itself, which dropped me marks & made for an overall much poorer learning experience compared to the previous 2 courses in the series.
As a result of my horrible experience with this course I won't be taking any more in the series (I can't risk dropping out because of course-related issues) , but will look to pickup web development with another provider, such as Udacity.
This course needs a thorough staff review and all it's issues sorting out.

Very good course on an introduction to Meteor.js. The course is a nice speed and flows well. It would be nice if there were more assignments in the weeks 1 - 3. You can create ones on your own (which I did), but it would be nice if there were more guided or outlined ones.

Excellent course. Fast paced, and the final project is a doozy, but well worth the effort. Dr. Yee-King is a fantastic instructor and does a great job of walking you through the material while encouraging the students to pursue further research on their own to more fully understand the nuances of the course subject. The code examples provided are very helpful, with easy to understand comments to help guide the student through the code.

Matthew is really good and takes you through the stuff at a good pace. There are some difficulties with the code sometimes because of more recent versions of Meteor etc. However, these are solved in the forums. Also, any difficulties force you to go and find out and experiment a bit so that was actually great.

Great course and introduction to Meteor.js The course material is very complete, and the topics cover are all what you need to know about meteor from start to simple application up and running. Every chapter is well explained and easy to follow. I widely recommend this course for getting basic knowledge of Meteor and its features.

Much will be written about the Supreme Court's disappointing decision in the next few days. I'll just make three points, one about the program, one about the philosophy underpinning it, and one about politics:
PROGRAM: The mandate requiring consumers to purchase their own insurance was necessary to fund the other parts of the Obamacare package. An influx of premiums (or tax penalties) from those who won't likely use the system very much will counter some of the additional expenses. But remember, the mandate has always been a compromise position for those on the left anyway. They really prefer a single-payer system and total control, but agreed to the mandate (and some other back-room deals) to pass what they could. They're not finished. Expect them to move more aggressively toward a single-payer system.
PHILOSOPHY: The health care debate is about redistribution of income, not about access to care. Obamacare cannot deliver what it promises without both rationing and taxing the middle and upper classes at a higher level. The money just isn't there without wealth redistribution. The access problem affects only a small percentage of Americans and can be addressed with other measures.
POLITICS: Congress can change the law if it wishes, but without a 2/3 majority this can only happen with the blessing of the president . Romney has been running as an anti-Obama big tent candidate. He has vowed to repeal Obamacare but has avoided specifics. This decision gives Romney a golden opportunity to define his candidacy if he chooses to pursue it. His prospects for success in November hang in the balance.
The battle is far from over, but we need leadership. We'll see if Romney is up to the challenge.
