To many, this statement is as offensive as anything a human being could utter to another, and I have to admit that my first reaction to his statement was, "What an asshole!" Then I got to thinking about what he meant by this and realized that our refrain that it is our leaders that make the decisions, and we have nothing to do with those decisions ring very hollow. Simply put, we vote into office those that make the decisions that end up causing distress to people in other countries. Of course, this is distress in their eyes, but to them that is the only perspective that matters. Regardless, the point is that, in our country — as in any democracy — we choose our leaders. Therefore, we are responsible for their actions; at the very least, partially. The other part of the argument that the former terrorist makes that is invalid is the fact that children don't vote.
Regardless, I got to thinking about the democratic process and the government that we end up with, and I came to the realization that we deserve the government we are stuck with, and, more to the point, the politicians that we are stuck with. And, whether you are a lib/soc or a conservative, my guess is that no one is satisfied with the current crop of politicians. I know this because the approval ratings of both the president and Congress is at an all time low. So, why do we keep on electing these assholes, why don't any good people run, and what can we do about this utterly unsatisfactory situation? The answer is simple: We deserve the government we have. Therefore, to change the government we have, we have to change ourselves first.
So, what does the fact that our current crop of politicians are complete and utter losers say about us, Americans, in general? It's very, very unflattering to say the least. The best that we can say about the situation is that most Americans are gullible, naive and easily fooled into electing immoral, valueless, incompetent, dishonest and dishonorable people, and that to get elected into office one has to have the moral fortitude of the worst kind of criminal, and even that may be an insult to criminals! So then, what can we say at the worst? We, Americans, are attracted to these rotten people, because we can identify with them and, therefore, elect them into offices because they are most like us! Therefore, it should not be surprising that morally upstanding individuals that have a strong value system, good ethics, unshakeable integrity, honor and honesty, don't/can't/won't run for public office anymore. And so, it should surprise no one that this is the sad state of affairs that we, the American people, find ourselves in today.
The fact of the matter is is that Americans, in general, have no real standards anymore. We no longer believe in a strong system or standard of Six Pillars — morals, values, ethics, integrity, honor and honesty — that we can use to measure the worth of another human being. This is vastly different from the 1950s and before, when, despite the faults and deficiencies in the Six Pillars of Americans, at the very least, we strongly identified with the philosophy and concepts imbedded in the Six Pillars that governed Americans before the 1960s. So, what changed? An enormous amount of the Six Pillars of Americans from the 1950s and before have proven to be highly immoral, valueless, unethical, lacking integrity, dishonorable, and outright false. Some examples that I can site are as follows: Blacks are not inferior, women don't have to be stay at home wives/mothers, everyone truly does have the right to vote, many of the principles imbedded in Christianity have proven to be less than unshakeable truths (we are not the center of the universe, Christians are not the only worthy people, science has laid false many of the Christian "truths", we don't have to be religious to be good people, etc.), Americans are not always the good guys, America isn't even the center of earth anymore, pre-marital sex is not a sin, it's perfectly fine to be homosexual, your position in society doesn't make you a better/good person, having an abortion isn't a sin, etc.
As some of the core beliefs of Americans proved to be less than honorable, righteous, moral, ethical, and truthful, we, as a society, began to lose our sense of self. Thus, it should not surprise anyone that by the 1980s, America seemed to turn more towards the superficial and pretentious — as marked by the materialistic yuppie movement — as the only gauge of self worth. Therefore, things like personal wealth, social status, fame, and other superficial and pretentious indicators became the standard bearers and representations of our Six Pillars, because these were the only things that could be measured, compared, and properly valued by anyone and everyone. In short, in the absence of an alternative and superior moral philosophy to replace that which we held so dearly prior to the 1960s, people turned to what is easiest and self-evident, because those were the only thing that made sense to people anymore.
Also, as the culture of pretense and superficiality took hold many other things changed with it, some in linear fashion, and others in conjunction with the development of the new philosophy. One of the critical attributes that changed in Americans is that we no longer believed in thinking and acting for the long-term. It is because the new philosophy does not require it, and, in many ways, long-term thinking is counter-productive to achieving the goals and objectives that are deemed valuable according to the new philosophy.
All these changes, which started to take hold starting in the 1960s, have completely changed the landscape of American thinking and behavior, and, in many ways, these changes are being reflected in who we elect as our leaders. Particularly, when voters don't have core fundamentals that they believe in then they're going to go with what sounds good and with who they think to be a good person. And, how an individual determines another to be a good person has to do with not necessarily what they say, in today's society, but how they say it. It also depends on what the individual perceives as sounding good, not actually what is good. Again, this obviously happens because people don't have the right set of Six Pillars that they can use to judge what is being said, so they have no choice, but to go with that which sounds good.
All these changes have led to the inevitability of the politicians and the political systems that we have today. Therefore, now, most politicians are more actors than leaders, they are superficial and pretentious, they love to stand on ceremony and revere the trappings of their office, demand respect based on their political position rather than based on their abilities and their Six Pillars, make decisions based on short-term thinking because America only understands short-term thinking, are more interested in being elected/re-elected than doing the right thing, like to follow the path of least resistance rightly or wrongly, and have no compunction of saying whatever they need to to get elected/re-elected. The funny thing is that if you really think about this situation, you can't blame the politicians. They're only doing what we want them to do, because that is all we, as a society, are capable of understanding and appreciating.
Therefore, the conclusion to this post should be self-evident. If we want to escape the quagmire — more like quicksand — that we've trapped ourselves into, we have to change the way we think. This new way of thinking has to be based on Justice, and long-term gain; it must eschew short-term achievements. It must also not only imbue us with a rational and Just set of moral principles and strong values, but also hold us to an incorruptible ethical standards as well as showing us why integrity matters. Finally, this new philosophy must give us a clear sense of honor and instill us with the belief that honesty is really best policy. In short, this new philosophy must provide everyone with the most logical, rational and sensible Six Pillars that is based on Justice — and only Justice — and common inalienable rights, while preserving individual freedoms to the utmost possible level.
I believe that I have crafted a new philosophy that achieves all of the objectives previously listed and would like to share my philosophy with everyone. My philosophy is outlined in my book, "… Under the Constitution with Liberty and Justice for ALL," which is available at http://www.CreateSpace.com/3978962. Also, please don't forget to buy the companion book, "The New Constitution for Modern America," which is available at http://www.CreateSpace.com/4281897. Both books are available on Kindle. Thank you in advance for buying my books, and I welcome your questions, feed back and criticisms.

Bohemia Celebrates 'Grape' Success with Two Prestigious Wine Awards
Michelin-starred restaurant Bohemia in Jersey is celebrating due to being awarded the prestigious two-star award in the 'World's Best Wine Lists Awards 2017'; plus the Award of Excellence for its outstanding wine selection in 'Wine Spectator's Restaurant Wine List Awards 2017.'
Bohemia boasts an extensive inventory of 3,000 bottles of wine from a selection of 310 bins, all personally chosen by Restaurant Manager Dimitri Marqueteau, and Head Sommelier Georgi Mihov. The restaurant sources a large number of these wines directly, and its list encompasses top wines across several regions. Recent additions include wines made from the Greek white wine grape Malagousia, and Buket from Bulgaria. Bohemia also has a large selection of French wines due to its close proximity to Jersey.
In addition, the restaurant offers a Grand Formats wine list which is believed to be one of the largest in the UK. The list encompasses over 30 different large bottle wines from Magnums (2 bottles) to Imperiales (8 bottles wine) and includes Salmanazzar and Nebuchadnezzars of Champagne (12 & 20 bottles). The list is a hit for private parties and gatherings both in the restaurant and private dining rooms.
During the judging process for both awards the breadth, depth, interest, quality, and value of Bohemia's impressive wine selection were considered as well as the suitability of the selection.
Two-Star Award in the World's Best Wine Lists Awards 2017
Bohemia triumphed as the internationally acclaimed wine magazine invited an eclectic panel of judges to assess the wine selections from across the world. This year, some of the world's leading wine critics and sommeliers from around the globe were involved, including Ch'ng Poh Tiong, Andrew Jefford, Andreas Larsson, Elin McCoy, Francis Percival, Alder Yarrow and Jane Parkinson, wine expert for BBC's Saturday Kitchen Live. The judges assessed well over 4,500 wine lists from restaurants around the world before deciding on the final award-winning offerings, which included Bohemia's two-star award.
Award of Excellence in Wine Spectator's Restaurant Wine List Awards 2017
Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence honours restaurants whose wine lists feature a well-chosen assortment of quality producers, along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style. Bohemia has been recognised amongst other winners from all over the globe as a top destination for wine lovers.
As well as a stellar wine list, Bohemia Bar & Restaurant provides unrivalled Michelin Star dining in the heart of Jersey. Head Chef Steve Smith, who has held a Michelin Star for over 15 years from the age of just 24, has created a truly outstanding dining experience with his ingredient and flavour driven tasting menus.
The restaurant is open from Monday to Saturday, Noon until 2.30pm for lunch, and 6.30pm until 10pm for dinner.

The 29th March is the anniversary of the Mother's first meeting with Sri Aurobindo.
In the year 1910 my husband came alone to Pondicherry where, under very interesting and peculiar circumstances, he made the acquaintance of Sri Aurobindo. Since then we both strongly wished to return to India—the country which I had always cherished as my true mother-country. And in 1914 this joy was granted to us. As soon as I saw Sri Aurobindo I recognised in him the well known being whom I used to call Krishna…. And this is enough to explain why I am fully convinced that my place and my work are near him, in India.
The Mother (CWM 13:39)
The Mother wrote in Prayers and Meditation dated 30 March 1914 after meeting Sri Aurobindo for the first time on 29 March 1914, as follows:
It matters little that there are thousands of beings plunged in the densest ignorance, He whom we saw yesterday is on earth; his presence is enough to prove that a day will come when darkness shall be transformed into light, and Thy reign shall be indeed established upon earth.
The Mother (CWM 1:113)
…when I first met Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry. I was in deep concentration, seeing things in the Supermind, things that were to be but which were somehow not manifesting. I told Sri Aurobindo what I had seen and asked him if they would manifest. He simply said, "Yes." And immediately I saw that the Supramental had touched the earth and was beginning to be realised! This was the first time I had witnessed the power to make real what is true: it is the very same power that will bring about the realisation in you of the truth when you come in all sincerity, saying, "This falsehood I want to get rid of", and the answer which you get is "Yes."
The Mother (CWM 3:141-142
Listen, as I had when I came from Japan: I was on the boat, at sea, not expecting anything (I was of course busy with the inner life, but I was living physically on the boat), when all of a sudden, abruptly, about two nautical miles from Pondicherry, the quality, I may even say the physical quality of the atmosphere, of the air, changed so much that I knew we were entering the aura of Sri Aurobindo. It was a physical experience and I guarantee that whoever has a sufficiently awakened consciousness can feel the same thing.
The Mother (CWM 4:223)
A day will come, I hope, when we shall be able to tell freely and truly all that Sri Aurobindo's Presence has meant for the town of Pondicherry….
The Mother (CWM 13:3
I want to mark this day by the expression of a long cherished wish; that of becoming an Indian citizen. From the first time I came to India—in 1914—I felt that India is my true country, the country of my soul and spirit.
The Mother (CWM 13:43)
Here, in Pondicherry, you cannot breathe without breathing my consciousness. It saturates the atmosphere almost materially, in the subtle physical, and extends to the Lake, ten kilometres from here. Farther, my consciousness can be felt in the material vital, then on the mental plane and the other higher planes, everywhere. When I came here for the first time, I felt the atmosphere of Sri Aurobindo, felt it materially at a distance of ten miles, ten nautical miles, not kilometres. It was very sudden, very concrete, an atmosphere pure, luminous, light, light that lifts you up.
The Mother (CWM 13:73)
I need not appear to be good if my sincerity is perfect. It is better to be than to seem.
The Mother (CWM 15:189)
Never forget that you are not alone. The Divine is with you helping and guiding you. He is the companion who never fails, the friend whose love comforts and strengthens. Have faith and He will do everything for you.
The Mother (CWM 15:189)

While there are many different types of roofing systems you can use on your home, you would be best served by choosing one that works well with the climate in your area. As a rule of thumb, look at the predominant type of roofing system used in your neighborhood. The varieties you see will usually be composed mostly of types that work well in your area.
Once you have decided on the type of roofing system you want, check in with professional roofing contractors. It is best to investigate at least three companies to find out their reputation, work ethic, and cost. The cheapest estimate is not always the best buy. Check their local registrations and certifications to be sure they are going to finish your job. Call the references provided for first-hand reports.
Depending on your needs, there are three major categories of shingles you can use. Strip shingles are the cheapest and lightest fond. They are usually used more on rental residential houses and low-budget commercial properties. Dimensional shingles are the next grade up. These shingles are duel-layered so as to build up a thicker level and give a heavier look to the roof covering. Premium shingles are even heavier and made up of stronger materials. They can be reflective to bounce sunlight off and provide greater energy savings or they can be more impact resistant for protection from flying debris in high wind or routine storm areas.
Slate roofing systems are very heavy and cannot be used on all structures unless they are reinforced to manage it. Slate comes in both natural and a synthetic form. Using polymer composite, these synthetic slate shingles can simulate many various textures, and contour designs,as well as being a cheaper, lighter alternative to natural slate. Synthetic slate also has the advantage of being highly shatter resistant compared to the natural material. These tiles also provide several interlocking features to prevent even heavy storms from driving water into the inner structure.
A cool roof is designed for the maximum of solar reflectivity as well as quick thermal transference of the heat away from the roof. While traditionally these roofs are white, some other light colors have been created for more aesthetic appeal. These roofs are much more prevalent in cities as they help prevent the "heat well" effect a city can have on the local weather effects. They provide better air conditioning for the interiors.

A well being insurance policy can give you access to a private consultant at a hospital of your choice and at a time that suits you or your loved ones. You can have your insurance coverage in a quite reasonable price as effectively as have an inadequate coverage with no trimming down the positive aspects you can acquire. The term coverage in reference to overall health insurance coverage signifies the sum assured by the policy, and the degree of coverage you want is topic to your existing life-style, medical background of your loved ones, annual income, location of residence, and age. I genuinely appreciated the support offered by Active Quote to arrange wellness insurance.
Now it is time that we move forward again in still one more critical location: wellness care. Intriguing debate – In Canada we have Government Insurance coverage PLUS many people have additional insurance coverage as the Government does not cover all. These payments differ by program, age of the insured, features integrated in the program and also if the insured has any pre-current health.

Island Paradise! First of all this is another Bark Box review. I was concerned they would start to get a little monotonous but Bark Box cracked me up by doing an Island themed box this month, complete with pineapple. Full codes and unboxing video at the bottom.
This month's box contained two pup toys, two bags of treats and a salmon fillet chew. I like that it was a little different with a salmon chew.
As you can see Menlo was curious right off the bat.
These were the chew toys. Both were squeakers and neither were very bid. I will say it seems like Elko and Menlo preferred the larger toys from last month. I actually haven't seen them play with these much, but I thought they were fun and unique.
Next was the half skin fillet. Menlo at this in about 15 minutes, but seemed to really enjoy it. It kinda looks creepy though.
Next were bags of beef liver. These are cool freeze dried beef liver treats. Think astronaut food for dogs! (4 stars and a 10.99 value on Amazon.com). The other bag was Nature's Bits Soft Salmon, Strawberries, Sweet Potatoes 6oz. This bag was 5 stars on amazon and 9.99.
BarkBox is $24 a month and includes options for large and small pups and ships APO.
Overall out of 10 I give August's Island Paradise Barkbox an 8 on quality, a 9 on cost, a 8 on appropriate for ElkoMenlo, and a 10 on fun (I loved this month's themed box).
MILITARY/ DIPLOMAT DISCOUNT! BarkBox has also won the Dubinskys' Gold Award for offering a 10% Military Discount and free shipping at the following link. AND offers 1 free bully stick with any purchase over $10 at their shop at the following Link. Thanks Bark Box

Knit Spin Around Dress
So, if you know me, you know I can never leave well enough alone. Which is why yesterday I thought, hmm I wonder if it would work as a knit and I could totally make sleeves to go with it for the cold weather months ahead. 🙂
Well, that should be easy, right? All I needed to do was cut the two back pieces on a fold where the first line is (totally thinking ahead when I made the pattern) before the part with the snaps in it. Knit part complete! Oh and here's my sleeve pattern add on while I'm at it:
**** FOR KNITS**** http://www.samanthaliz.com/KnitSpinAroundSleeveAddon.pdf
***FOR WOVENS*** http://www.samanthaliz.com/WovenSpinAroundSleeveAddon.pdf
Here's some quick modifications, with kinda bad pics, sorry I used my iphone.
After you sew the shoulder seams, the neckhole should look like this:
Pin and sew!
Clip V's or pink and turn right side out, topstitch.
Match center to seam of top, right sides together. Pin.
Sew/Serge together. Repeat for other sleeve. (see? I was ambitious, I even got out my serger this time!)
Looking like something!
Pin bottom of front piece and top of bottom piece right sides together, sew and then topstitch. Repeat for back and bottom.
Match up front to back along sleeves and down side seams. Pin together, sew down both sides. (Pretend I took a picture of this step.)
Fold up your sleeve hem. I did 1-1/4″ for Molly, I would probably do 1″ for a standard 2T. Topstitch up 😉 (I did 1″ from edge, 5/8″ for standard 2T)
Hem the bottom of the dress! I serged this time, then folded up 1″ and topstitched 5/8″ from bottom edge. (Feel free to do it like the original post as well.)
Done. On with your day then.
2 Comments on Knit Spin Around Dress
I love that our brains work so similarly LOL! After making the woven one with sleeves yesterday I started pondering her winter wardrobe! I'm going to use knits, shorten to tunic length and pair with knit CMYP!! Yay for LCT!!Reply
Good afternoon. I made (4) dresses for my daughter using your incredible easy pattern. For someone with just a little bit of sewing knowledge and/or experience it was just the right pattern at the right time.Reply

Joseph Dennis "Joe" Cole (April 10, 1961 – December 19, 1991) was a roadie for Black Flag and Rollins Band. He was also the best friend and roommate of the musician/author/actor Henry Rollins. His memoirs were published posthumously by 2.13.61 publishing, Planet Joe, in which he documented his experiences on the last Black Flag tour and first Rollins Band tour. He was shot and killed in a robbery at their home on December 19, 1991, as the pair returned from a video rental store a black male robbed and killed Joe Cole in his house which was aired on Unsolved Mysteries (the robbery was precipitated by Rick Rubin's earlier visit to their home in an expensive car, likely leading the burglars to believe there was something of value to steal). The murder remains unsolved. Cole was 30 years old.
Rollins went on to publish a two-part book series, the first book chronicling his time with Cole as his roommate, See a Grown Man Cry, and the second Rollins' non-stop working to near-nervous breakdown in the year following Cole's death, Now Watch Him Die.
Sonic Youth's "JC" was inspired by Cole's murder, and the Sonic Youth song "100%" on their Dirty album was dedicated to him. The music video shows a reenactment of the police finding Cole, played by actor Jason Lee, dead.
At the time of his death, Cole was in a relationship with Babes in Toyland bassist Michelle Leon. After his death, she was unable to face the rigors of touring and quit the group. Peers of Babes in Toyland, Hole, also dedicated their second studio album, Live Through This, to Joe Cole. Courtney Love's 2006 memoir, Dirty Blonde, also features a page as tribute to Joe Cole.
Joe Cole can be seen in many scenes of Dave Markey's movie, 1991: The Year Punk Broke as well as in some of Dave Markey's short films.
Cole's father was actor Dennis Cole and his mother is the former Sally Bergeron. Dennis Cole was briefly married during Joe's adolescence to Charlie's Angels actress Jaclyn Smith.

Why Should I Get a Master's in Social Work?
To practice as a clinical social worker, you need at least a master's degree in the field. The master's in social work is the terminal degree in the field, though some people choose to pursue doctoral degrees and advanced credentials. You can work as a social worker with a bachelor's degree, although those with a graduate degree enjoy more lucrative career opportunities. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that social work jobs will grow by 16% in the coming years, a rate much higher than the economy as a whole.
Many social work master's programs online are more affordable than their on-campus counterparts, since students do not have the cost of commuting or room and board. In many cases, out-of-state students can also pay in-state tuition if they study online. Degree seekers interested in pursuing a career in social work can select from many affordable and accredited online MSW programs.

We have stopped doing that in favor of offering a more informational website. The only place to buy Flat Rate Plus flat rate software is from Aptora Corporation. Please check out their website.

Please check out Aptora's website for more information or call them direct at 877-232-7978.
What is Flat Rate Pricing?
Flat rate pricing is also known as fixed rate pricing, assured pricing, and goes by other names. It' all about offering a firm fixed price, up front, before any work begins. Contractors do this all of the time. In fact, each time you write up a sales proposal or otherwise offer a "quote", you are flat rating.
Approximately 35% of the HVAC and plumbing industry uses flat rate pricing in their service departments. Essentially 100% already use it in their installation and maintenance departments. The electrical industry seems to be slow in adopting flat rate while the plumbing industry seems to have embraced flat rate pricing first.
Flat rate pricing is nothing new. It's been around about as long as money has. It is certainly not unique or unusual. Many industries use it including dry cleaners, tax preparation, accountants, auto repair, TV and VCR repair, computer service, copier service, computer programming, home warranties and so on. Even manufacturers use it to pay their dealers to perform warranty repairs. In fact, you will see all kinds of companies bragging that they now offer flat rate pricing (from a cell phone company to the United States Postal Service).
That' because it makes sense. T&M is actually more unusual and less popular than flat rate pricing. Have you ever bought a home, car, or even a meal on T&M? There are many still clinging to T&M.
Either out of fear or ignorance, some seam against flat rate pricing. That's ironic because many of these people personally demand flat rate pricing when they buy goods and services.
How to Order the Flat Rate Pricing Software
To invest in Flat Rate Plus, please call Aptora at 866-296-9700 or visit their website. Please mention that you saw Flat Rate Plus at Mr. HVAC's website.

Years Before RFID Baggage Tracking Takes Off
ABI Research yesterday announced that the market for RFID baggage tagging will be worth $11.8 million this year. It will grow at a CAGR of 18.49% through 2011, when the market value reaches $27.5 million. While RFID baggage tagging has received quite a bit of press, these figures indicate that in fact the market opportunity is small.
Oct 06, 2006—This article was originally published by RFID Update.
October 6, 2006—According to findings released yesterday by ABI Research of Oyster Bay, New York, the market for RFID baggage tagging will be worth $11.8 million this year. It will grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 18.49% through 2011, when the market value will reach $27.5 million. While RFID-enabled baggage track-and-trace has received quite a bit of press, these figures indicate that in fact the market opportunity is quite small. Even with the decent growth projected by ABI, the numbers are not significant enough to represent a material contribution to the overall RFID market in the near- to medium-term.
"It's still a pretty small market. There are two massive deployments, and the rest are just pilots," ABI analyst Robert Foppiani told RFID Update. The two main deployments are at the Las Vegas and Hong Kong airports. Among other locations, pilot activity is occurring in South Korea, where Asiana Airlines has equipped six regional airports, and in Europe, where Air France and KLM are conducting a joint trial between the Paris and Amsterdam airports.
According to Foppiani, there are a number of hurdles to wider adoption of RFID baggage tracking. The first is, as in so many open-loop applications of RFID, cost. Foppiani said that tag price needs to come down considerably for RFID to better compete with existing bar code tracking systems, which, while not as powerful or automated as RFID systems, are deeply entrenched in baggage handling processes.
Even when prices come down, it is unclear who will foot the bill for installing RFID systems because the responsibility for baggage handling varies around the world. In the US, the airlines are typically responsible; in Europe, it's the airport operators. "It's a matter of who is going to make those investments," said Foppiani. The issue is particularly pertinent to the US, where the airline industry as a whole is suffering. Adoption there is going to be stunted "until some of the American airlines start to see some revenue," said Foppiani. "At this time, most are operating at a loss."
The fact that one of the world's two major deployments -- Las Vegas -- is in the US seems to contradict this point. But Foppiani explained that Las Vegas's McCarran International Airport is an exception to most other US airports in that it plans on using the RFID system for applications beyond just track-and-trace. Because what draws most travelers to Las Vegas is tourism, the McCarran management is eager to provide a premium customer experience that will induce repeat visits. So eventually the airport wants to offer convenience services like baggage-checking at hotels, services that will leverage the RFID infrastructure.
The Hong Kong airport is also an exception due to its role as a continental hub. Much of the airport's business is pass-through traffic of passengers entering or leaving Asia, rather than those whose final destination is Hong Kong.
Thus, the fact that the two major baggage-tagging installations sport unusual business cases provides further evidence that baggage tagging is a very long way from going mainstream.
When it finally does catch on, Symbol Technologies will an early beneficiary. Foppiani cited the company as the leading hardware vendor in the vertical. As for technology, the deployments in Hong Kong, Las Vegas, and South Korea used Gen1 RFID. However, Hong Kong plans to transition to Gen2, while Air France is already using Gen2 at the Paris trial.
