Markets Continue Slow Descent
Boring Market Still Confirmed
As I've started to really push the Security Token narrative, I'm slowly discovering a nascent battle of wills going on.
It stems from an "us vs. them" mentality and ultimately I think Security Tokens are being given an unfair lens because of it.
That battle is over the perception that STOs, Security Token Offerings, will only be the playground of the rich and the common folk will have to beg for scraps, having to accept a price premium on the publicly traded tokens.
Here's the thing: US Accredited Investor Laws (and similar laws around the world) purposefully limit the investing opportunities of those without a net worth exceeding one million, or an annual income of $200,000+.
The line of thinking is that in order for an individual to invest in securities, they must have the capital to risk. The criticism argues that other activities, such as driving or giving financial advice, require a license or a certification, the only thing you need to invest with VC status, as an angel investor, or participate in offerings like a Reg D 506(c) is have a seven figure bank account.
That's frustrating, right?
After all, you can go to a casino and gambling your money away to nothing regardless of your wealth. You don't need some special status to go hundreds of thousands in debt acquiring a useless degree. You certainly didn't need anyone's permission to watch your 401(k) be lit on fire during the 2008 recession.
So what's the deal? Why lock us out of potentially lucrative investments?
Well, for one, we just saw the best example in recent memory.
ICOs disrupted the accredited investor model in a big way. It was a game changer. But, as we've seen, it caused harm to many people out there, a majority of which had never invested before.
High risk investments are just that. People were easily manipulated by promises of lamborghinis and yachts. The dream of an overnight millionaire. You might be one of them.
So, the SEC exists to protect us against ourselves with regard to securities. I know, it may seem like big government and an overreach and a violation of our civil liberties, but the fact of the matter is that the protection goes both ways.
If companies were openly allowed to advertise and scam investors like we saw in the ICO bubble, throughout the whole economy, we'd have chaos in the streets.
The fact of the matter is, maybe you and I are smarter than the average investor, but the protections are in place for the average investor.
After all, the accredited investor status is, by definition, an exemption.
In different words, the SEC's purpose is to protect the everyday investor, so by allowing the accredited investor exemption they at least create a sufficient and protective layer between potentially complex investment securities and the general investing public.
And think about it. It's not a complex loophole. You have a million bucks, you get to play in the big leagues. The loophole is there if you want it bad enough.
All that being said, my personal position on this matter is that I agree the exemption does create a broken system where people who able to achieve this status take advantage of those who can't.
It's a fine balance to strike, and I think STOs will force the SEC to reexamine this exemption. They've already indicated they are considering lowering the barrier to entry.
Meanwhile, if you're not able to have a windfall of $1 Million (wouldn't that be nice), you are still full capable of investing in and profiting from STOs.
Let's walk through the SEC exemption types so you better understand what I mean.
Reg D 506(c) – US Accredited
Reg D 506(b) – US non-accredited up to 35 investors, must have pre-existing relationship
Reg S – Outside US, no wealth restrictions
Reg CF – US non-accredited up to $1,070,000 total raised
Reg A+ – $50 million from both accredited and non-accredited investors
Do you notice something? The only exception that is specific to accredited investors is the Reg D 506(c).
Issuers looking to offer their STO do not have to specifically target accredited investors, though it is the exemption with the least restrictions regarding amount and number of investors.
Adding to that, there are a number of projects building STO platforms and exchanges that you can invest in using their token.
Here's a short list:
Ravencoin – like Bitcoin, but for transferring assets rather than currency. No ICO, no pre-mine, no CEO, and ASIC resistance.
Harbor – All-in-one platform for tokenizing private investments. ERC-20-compatible and regulatory-compliant token standard, the R-Token Standard.
Swarm (SWM) – STO launch platform. Masternode program.
Own (CHX) – A platform to buy and sell shares. Masternode program.
OpenFinance Network – a regulatory-compliant platform for trading security tokens. Partnered with Harbor, Polymath, Swarm, and many others in the security token space.
Coinlist – a platform focused on regulatory compliant token sales
Preflogic – Platform for launching STOs. Ready to go to market with STO wizard and CERC token standard. Currently offering Reg S through invest.preflogic.com. Possible Reg CF in the future.
So you can see, there's a ton a opportunities already cropping up. I refuse to let simple FUD stand in the way of massive potential, and I think people need to wake up to this giant shift in this space and the finance industry overall.

RSC Managed Crypto Fund
How to read this portfolio: Please read through the FAQ tab
- ETH/USD 2% added 8/10/2018 @ $363.14
- ETH/USD 2% added 9/9/2018 @ $200.50 (10% more to add)
- LTC/USD 2% added 8/10/2018 @ $62.56. (5% more to add)
- XMR/BTC 2% added 9/21/2018 @ .018BTC
- BTC/USD 2% added 11/7/2018 @ $6501
- XLM/BTC 2% added 11/19/2018 @.00004389BTC
- XEM/BTC 2% added 11/27/2018 @.00001901BTC
What is the RSC Managed Cryptocurrency Fund?: We have one goal: To beat the market. To do this, we aim to balance risk vs. reward. Additionally, we aim to enter positions advantageously and in small increments, not all at once. As such, the pie chart you see above is representative of our "expected" portfolio, but will likely not match our "actual" portfolio. Why don't you just buy into every position at once?: We aim to not only beat the market, but do so in a way that allows us greater leverage than simply buying in all at once. To do this, we will DCA into our positions to lower the average buy-in, and allow us greater yield from our initial capital seed. This also allows you the flexibility to follow our documented moves or immediately buy in when you want. We expect this will help you follow along easier as our moves are more deliberate. By setting targets for allocation, you know exactly how we intend to diversify our portfolio. Why are you only targeting large caps? Where is ____ coin?: We are targeting large market capitalization coins regardless of our belief in their viability as this enables us to diversify our risk and improve our chances of staying positive. We can hedge our bets by creating a fund that incorporates all of the major assets yet distinguishes between them based on the allocation. For example, we allocated more to Ethereum over its competitors as we feel it has more built-in longevity given its status as the default ICO platform. Of course, that can change, and as such we will be periodically rebalancing this fund as we redetermine viability and yield. Can I invest in this fund / can you manage my funds?: Not at this time. We are looking for ways to legally tokenize a fund such as this, but at this time no avenue exists for US citizens. Will we be adding small caps / ICOs?: It is likely we will be starting a separate fund dedicated solely to small caps / ICOs. We feel that the market simply isn't showing favorable risk / reward signs for us to be trading them right now, but that will likely change soon. Why was the previous portfolio discontinued?: We felt it wasn't correctly connecting with our customers as we started it in late 2017 and even during the 2018 bear market we were still very profitable. The same could not be said for customers who joined us during the bear market and tried to replicate our portfolio. Simply put: we wanted a portfolio that was easier to follow along with and less risky for our customers while still aiming for profitability.
RSC Altcoin-Exclusive Crypto Fund
Technical Analysis Research
More than likely we're seeing the formation of an intermediate bear flag in the major coins; even though the energy is there to see it break lower in the short-term, I don't think we'll see it release just yet because the Weekly energy is in exhaustion. We should expect at least a couple of weeks of chop in the interim. Some coins are really starting to find traction off the bottom after building big bases; FCT is obviously one, however TRX is starting to look good now.
In August we introduced a new "fund" project that we'll be creating over the next few months, in piecemeal form. I will be slowly and methodically creating a "fund" with (currently) 23 assets that we will do "live" or at least very plainly indicate where we intend to enter portions of assets. As long as the market continues grinding down in a bear, we will use sentiment-based entries to hopefully secure a better entry. All that I saw were bear flags tonight; we are close to some good entries on coins showing positive divergence on the RSI. Going forward into the end of this year my plan is to do a LOT more swing trading; what would really help is a decent derivatives exchange. I am looking for big things from Digitex in this regard, which will be a commission-free futures platform however all trades must be made in DGTX as the base currency. Put yourself on the waitlist for this platform by clicking here. I have started to acquire DGTX tokens at Mercatox in anticipation of them turning up their platform, and this looks to be a good candidate for a pump prior to the production event. Here are the recent swings that we're tracking in the portfolio below; :
- DGB/BTC – long @ .00000608 (7/23). My target exit is .000008BTC.
- WTC/BTC – Long @ .00155980BTC (4/23). My target exit is at .002BTC.
- ADA/BTC – Long @ .00003931BTC (5/1) My target exit is at .00005BTC.
- ONT/BTC – long @ .0008905 (5/20) My target is .0013BTC.
- ETP/BTC – long @ .000522BTC (9/21) My target is .00072BTC
Please keep in mind that if you want to follow these trades, I am using FIXED RISK POSITION SIZING. This means that I am using a fixed amount of risk capital that is based on my account size, like 2%. I am assuming that the trade will burn to the ground and that I will lose that entire capital position! Only in this manner can one effectively manage a position the way that you have to. If you've every checked your blockfolio nervously every 5 minutes when you're underwater, this will prevent that. I will track these positions in this area and not in the main portfolio section. I will use a public portfolio tool to do so, which you can access by clicking below:

We've started to do some swing trades on alts, tracked in the previous section. I am mostly focusing on the top 10-20 coins for now until we confirm that we're back into an overall bull market.
I am doing the majority of my Technical Analysis work on TradingView, and I have a BitFinex app on both my iPad and Android smartphone. All of these charting platforms call a TradingView API. TradingView is the 800 lb. gorilla in the Crypto charting space until the "established" players want to make a go at Crypto, like Ninjatrader, Tradestation, eSignal, Sierra charts, etc. My sense is that TradingView has such a head start that it will be very difficult for the big boys to make a dent in this space for a while. Until that point, TradingView has almost a monopoly in this space. If you have a particular tool that you think is superior, please let me know. You can access the BitFinex and TradingView platforms for free, however there are some paid features that you might want to consider depending on your needs, such as expanded watchlists, different study sets, account alerts, etc.
Coinigy is a great tool for determining prices on each exchange, however I may not have access to the full suite of tools on TradingView charts. I am currently not using it as a front-end GUI for my exchanges, which it supports.I also use Blockfolio and/or Delta to give me a quick snapshot of my holdings, and find that it does an excellent job to aggregate all of my holdings into one easy-to-read snapshot of my cryptocurrencies, which are typically located in many different places.
I am also trialing the Profit Trailer and CryptoHopper trading apps which are working well in this choppy market.
Fundamental Currency Research
We'll focus in-depth on a coin you should consider, and talk about the fundamentals of what makes it interesting. This is not a " this is the next big crypto" article or "reasons why you should buy". We're simply laying it down with hype, speculation, and other nonsense.
Today's RSC Coin Spotlight is the 0x Protocol (ZRX):
No doubt you've heard about ZRX in the past several weeks since its listing on Coinbase on October 11, 2018. But you may be asking yourself: What is ZRX? And What gives it value?
ZRX is the governance token of the 0x Protocol, a standard for trustlessly trading ERC20 and ERC721 tokens. 0x Protocol allows users to trade tokens right from their wallets in either OTC trades or through a decentralized exchange otherwise known as a relayer.
0x protocol uses an approach they refer to as off-chain order relay with on-chain settlement. In this approach, cryptographically signed orders are broadcast off of the blockchain through any arbitrary communication channel an interested counterparty may fill the order by submitting one or more of these signed orders into 0x protocol's Exchange contract to execute and settle trades directly to the blockchain.
The project ICO'd in August 2017 for $24,000,000. On August 2, 2017, iFinex Inc. (BVI), the company that owns Bitfinex, announced it would launch Ethfinex, an Ethereum-based trading and discussion platform that would utilize the 0x Protocol. Several other prominent relayers rose in the 0x ecosystem such as DDEX, Radar Relay, and Paradex.
On May 23rd, Coinbase announced it had acquired Paradex, a decentralized exchange that uses 0x. At the time of the Paradex acquisition, Cointelegraph reported,
"Coinbase will integrate the Paradex relay platform into Coinbase Pro which, according their blog post, will let customers trade 'hundreds of tokens directly from their wallets.' This would markedly expand the types of cryptocurrencies to which customers will have access through Coinbase. The blog post states that the new service will be made available to customers outside the US before eventually being offered to American clients."
This acquisition led many in the crypto community to speculate that Coinbase would list ZRX and sure enough it was listed on Coinbase on October 11, 2018. The ZRX community eagerly awaits Coinbase Pro "Trustless" which could see the listing of many ERC20 tokens. Coinbase's recent announcement of USDC, an ERC20 backed by USD, may be used in trading pairs on Coinbase's new trustless service.
0x protocol relayers have a lot of flexibility on how they collect and relay the orders they interact with. Relayers can choose whether to have open or closed liquidity pools. Relayers can be private or open.
They can even be dark relayers which allows big players to transact outside of the eyes of the public by obfuscating their orderbooks and provide just-in-time quotes for crypto assets to emulate the experience of using a dark liquidity pool.
But 0x goes far beyond decentralized exchanges. The liquidity pools that relayers create can be beneficial to any number of projects in the Ethereum ecosystem. 0x allows developers a flexible approach to offering their users liquidity for their tokens.
Any DApp looking to accept multiple tokens as payment methods could tap into 0x's orderbooks for the liquidity to convert the payment into the token of their choice.
For example, Since 0x can handle ERC721 tokens, two players of the ERC721-based card game Gods Unchained can trade cards with one another. Gods Unchained is going to utilize 0x to create an in-app exchange where players can trustlessly trade ERC721 cards with one another. https://godsunchained.com/
Developers see the value in a protocol like 0x and several major projects in the Ethereum ecosystem are integrating the 0x protocol as a vital function of their code.
District0x (DNT) is one of these projects. According to their website, District0x is a network of decentralized markets and communities known as districts that solves a number of coordination issues and inefficiencies commonly found within distributed community marketplaces.
This is accomplished by providing tools that can better align incentives and decision making among the market participants themselves.
The end goal is to create a self sustaining ecosystem that can flourish without the need for a central authority. Districts exist on top of a modular framework of Ethereum smart contracts and frontend libraries referred to as d0xINFRA.
District0x embedded their 0xprotocol into their districts on the district0x Network, giving users the ability to pay and receive payment in the ERC20 or ERC721 token of their choice.
Simlar to the ZRX token, DNT is used to govern District0x. As their FAQ puts it:
"The district0x token holders themselves decide whether a district is good or bad for the network through the District Registry, an incentivized voting game that dictates access to the network. Whether a district is good or bad not only applies in terms of the quality of the marketplace, but also prevents against districts that are deemed immoral or threatening to the entire network by DNT holders. This will be entirely up to the DNT token holders to decide."
Like many people you may be asking yourself: "Where is the value in governing these protocols? Where is my money?" These are valid questions that honestly no one has the answer to yet. Like many aspects of crypto, these investments are speculatory.
One concern many have raised in the ZRX community is: What stops someone from forking the 0xprotocol in the case of a dispute? While it is true that a relayer who wanted to could fork away from the rest of the 0xprotocol but they would also suffer the consequences of disconnecting from everyone else in that pool of liquidity.
Similar arguments have been made for open-source software in the past and it usually boils down to the same concept that gives these open-source projects value: network effect. It's hard to copy and paste Ethereum because it is the Ethereum network that has value not strictly the technology.
0xprotocol can be viewed in a similar light. Yes, you could fork the protocol but the value in ZRX is the network of users and application built on top of the protocol itself. District0x and relayers are a prime example of this. Any project that tried to duplicate ZRX would need to attract all of the protocol network's users as well.
As the cryptocurrency space keeps evolving, we're going to see users and developers take the path of least resistance. Why make my own operating system when I can use one someone else wrote? Why make my own network protocol for computers when I can use TCP/IP to connect to the internet?
Why make my own cryptocurrency network when I can build on Ethereum or Stellar? This line thinking logically progresses into: Why make my own liquidity when I can tap into a network like ZRX? Why make my own marketplace when I can use District0x?
This interweaving of utility protocols is going to create a strong fabric for ecommerce in the age of Web 3.0. Just like ZRX, District0x benefits from developers building off of their framework. These developers must place a refundable deposit of DNT to become a district creating a symbiotic relationship.
District0x provides a standard framework for any marketplace system with a reputation like Ebay or even Amazon.
One example of the districts on the District0x network is the RedLightDistrict created in partnership with Spankchain. They sell, as you might have guessed, adult content from performers on Spankchain's network. District0x's framework provides the RedLightDistrict with the ability to have buyer and seller reputations, an issue interface for performers to sell digital content, and seamless payments via the ZRX protocol.
The decentralized finance ecosystem grows with each new strand woven into its fabric; We are seeing more and more Dapps in the Ethereum space being built on top of or interwoven with other Dapps or protocols. District0x is just one of the threads interwoven with ZRX.
dYdX protocol is building another important product that integrates with ZRX relayers. dYdX is a protocol for short selling and derivatives built on the Ethereum blockchain. dYdX provides decentralized peer-to-peer shorting, lending, and options trading of any Ethereum based token. dYdX allows decentralized exchanges to offer sophisicated financial tools similar to centralized exchanges but in a completely trustless way. https://medium.com/dydxderivatives/introducing-dydx-2d0f0f326fd
Dharma protocol is another great example. Dharma is a protocol for issuing, underwriting, and administering debt agreements as tradeable cryptographic tokens built on top of, you guessed it, the 0x protocol. https://dharma.io/
Overall, 0x is certainly a project doing big things, and will certainly be one of the more successful projects you should keep your eye on heading into next year.

Central Palma sees new contemporary hotel open in historic building
Central Palma de Mallorca, in the Balearics, has welcomed a new four-star hotel to its already impressive portfolio. The Ca N'Alexandre-Turismo De Interior Hotel Palma de Mallorca recently opened its doors in Plaza Alexandre Jaume, a prime location in Palma's picturesque Old Town district just 15 minutes' walk from Palma Cathedral.
Located in a beautiful 20th century historical building that was once the home of Alexandre Jaume – a famous Mallorcan politician who was shot during the Spanish civil war, the hotel is today being run by his great-granddaughters, upkeeping the family name.
The renovated building has preserved the original Mallorcan architectural features of the property including the 'mares' (local sandstone brick) and wooden beams dating back to the 20th century. The interiors have also been fitted with special handcrafted hydraulic tiles designed exclusively for the hotel. One of the most distinguished features is the Arabic 'aljibe', (water cistern), that was uncovered during building works and has been converted into a meeting space for private events.
The property features 23 modern rooms, stylishly decorated with traditional influences with bespoke fabrics, lamp shades and furniture pieces. Each room boasts stunning views of the garden below or city. The hotel has a restaurant on site serving local specialities made with fresh ingredients sourced from the island, a bar serving refreshing cocktails, and a sun terrace with panoramic views of the city where guests can relax after a long day of sightseeing.
Ca N'Alexandre is ideally located to local restaurants such as Can Gafet and Simply Fosh, are just a stone's throw away, as well as favoured tourist attractions including the iconic La Seu Cathedral of Palma just, the Basilica de Sant Francesc, and the Museu d'Art Espanyol Contemporani.
A one-night stay in the Ca N'Alexandre-Turismo De Interior Hotel Palma de Mallorca is priced from £111 based on two adults sharing on a room-only basis. www.can-alexandre.hotels-of-mallorca.com/en.

Member book: 'Tigers vs. Jayhawks,' by Mark Godich
"Tigers vs. Jayhawks: From the Civil War to the Battle for No. 1," by Mark Godich
Foreword by Joe Posnanski
The book traces the bad blood between the schools and the states to the Civil War and before. It revisits the early years of the rivalry. It examines how Missouri coach Gary Pinkel and Kansas coach Mark Mangino built Big 12 doormats into championship-caliber teams.
It deconstructs the deal that was struck to move the 2007 game to Kansas City, Mo., denying the Jayhawks the opportunity to host the biggest game in program history. It explores the Orange Bowl's head-scratching decision to invite Kansas over Missouri.

Wayne man gets prison term for embezzling nearly $14 million
NEWARK — A former executive from Wayne who embezzled nearly $14 million from a New York-based hospitality company has been sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison.
George Dfouni received a 46-month sentence Friday. The 47-year-old had pleaded guilty in January to wire fraud and tax evasion.
Prosecutors didn't identify the company where Dfouni served as chief operating officer. They say it owns and operates hotels in New York and New Jersey.
From 2007 through September 2015, Dfouni negotiated multiple contracts with two other companies. Each contract included a signing bonus for Dfouni, who had the two companies send their payments directly to him in New Jersey.
Dfouni skimmed some of the contract payments due his employer, taking about $13,807,034 overall. Prosecutors say he used the stolen funds to support his lavish lifestyle and gambling expenses.

This week has been a productive one for me in both Final Fantasy XIV and The Elder Scrolls Online. I renewed my subscription to Final Fantasy XIV last week and since then I've managed to level the Rogue class up from 10 to 32, Pugilist up to 15, and then I also completed the introductory quest line for Ninja. That puts me at three Jobs in the thirties: Black Mage (39), Warrior (31), and now Ninja (32) with the Arcanist class close behind at level 27. However despite all that time spent leveling in FFXIV, the Black Mage is my highest level Job at 39. I have yet to reach 50 because I continue to change focus.
This happens to me in an MMO after I take a break from the game for a few months and then come back. That's not the only reason though, it can also happen when I get bored with the class I'm playing or I convince myself that all the classes I'm NOT playing would be a better fit. Nevertheless, I'm really enjoying the Rogue and Ninja playstyle and I've got a good feeling about making it all the way to 50 this time. My only level 100 in World of Warcraft at the moment is a Rogue so it seems to be my class archetype of choice right now.
Because I've already played the story quest line up to level 34, I've had to work on the Rogue/ Ninja via fates, levequests, and dungeons. I enjoy the kind of focused grind this presents, but at this point I'm dangerously close to burnout which is why I've been toggling back and forth between Final Fantasy and The Elder Scrolls Online. And FFXIV is not the only game in which I've been indecisive on class choice lately either. I started a Sorcerer in ESO this week. There is a multi-game guild that I have played with in Rift and Final Fantasy XIV that has an ESO chapter which I recently joined. However my Argonian dragonknight is in the Ebonheart Pact and this guild is mostly in the Daggerfall Covenant so I decided to try out a new character that would allow me to group up with my guild more often.
While I am enjoying the Sorcerer— possibly more than the Dragonknight— I have not been terribly impressed with the guild. There tends to be anywhere from four to seven people on at any given time and I have yet to see any conversation in guild chat. Granted I have not spoken up either but I expect more socialization than that in a guild and I think that existing members should provide opportunities to socialize for newer members, not the other way around. Thankfully ESO allows you to be a part of several guilds, though I must confess I have no idea how that works or what the limitations are. In theory this should allow me to continue associating with my present guild in the event that the situation gets better while also providing me the opportunity to find a more active guild environment.
I'm also torn about whether to continue playing the Sorcerer which I prefer or the Dragonknight which I have progressed further. Considering the success I've had lately with Rogue archetypes, perhaps I should give the Nightblade a try. The problem is that I've already lost some momentum by switching classes and I can tell my interest in the game is waning. It's not the game itself though, that I still really enjoy. Knowing that I have a good week or two ahead of me before I'm at the same point of progress with my Sorcerer as I am with my Dragonknight is what discourages me from logging in or playing for more than an hour. I have temporarily abandoned games before because I have rerolled too much early on and I do not want that to happen here.
Regardless of what I decide long term, I do plan on staying with the Sorcerer until I've completed the introductory quests for some of the crafting professions so that I can get some screenshots and take notes for an upcoming post on ESO crafting. Perhaps I'll dig a little deeper into FFXIV crafting as well so that I can compare and contrast what I think are both wonderful crafting systems.
As for other future posts, I'm considering doing a series inspired by the conversations I've seen on women and sexual objectification in video games. What I would like to write is a series of posts exploring biblical womanhood. There is a lot of rich content in the bible on the subject and while I am aware of some of it I have never taken the opportunity to study it all first hand and in depth. So rather than voice an opinion on the MMO gaming industry and the treatment of female players and NPCs in video games I will hopefully be offering a broader picture of what it means theologically to be a woman. Since I am a man this should be interesting so get your popcorn ready. To avoid looking completely foolish I would like to have my wife proofread before I post. As my editor she will be provided with a red pen and when necessary, a large foam baseball bat.
At least I hope it will be made of foam.
For this weekend I should either have an initial post ready for the series on biblical womanhood or a post on an introduction to crafting in ESO. I also plan on gaining those last two levels in FFXIV so that I can jump back into the main storyline. Hopefully I will have made a choice on which class to pursue in ESO as well before I completely stall in an MMO that has otherwise been tremendously fun for me. In fact, if anyone has any insight in choosing a class for the Elder Scrolls or general advice on overcoming my chronic indecision I'm open to suggestions.
Or maybe I'm not. I don't know.

The Governor of Illinois says he wants to work with Iowa and other Midwest states on a regional approach to stopping the spread of the emerald ash borer. The emerald ash borer is an insect native to Asia that can decimate Ash tree populations, and was confirmed in the state in May with the discovery of larvae in Allamakee County.
Illinois Governor Pat Quinn says his state has a lot of experience trying to contain the pest. "We don't want bugs harming our basic infrastructures and environment in Illinois. So we have to work with other states,"Quinn says, "Actually, I'm going to the national governor's association meeting in Boston this weekend, and I will talk to the Governor of Iowa, Chet Culver, and other Governor's in the Midwest to make sure we stand against the ash borer."
Quinn did not provide any specifics on what the states can do to help stop the spread of the bug. Forestry officials say curbing the movement of firewood around the state is the best way to stop the pest from spreading. Iowa has an estimated 58 million rural ash trees and another 30 million used in landscaping in urban areas.

Britain is going to lose its dubious title of whiplash capital of Europe, and Justine Greening, the transport secretary says she is going to make it happen.
Last week Ms Greening said she was going to introduce tough new curbs on fake car accident personal injury claims involving snail pace speeds, as well as thorough medical checks. She also expressed her intention to target ambulance chasing personal injury solicitors who are raking in millions.
The Daily Mail recently revealed that there are 5,399 claims management companies in the UK. The Government has closed down 707 of them but the rest are still referring accident victims to no win no fee solicitors.
One solution being considered by the minister is a ban on whiplash claims if the accident happened at less than 6.25 mph. That law seems to work well in Germany. She is also considering calls for those deliberately causing an accident in order to claim personal injury compensation to be guilty of a criminal offence carrying a possible jail sentence.
We now have more than 1,500 claims per day for whiplash injuries in the UK and this is pushing up the cost of car insurance. And yet, the number of fatalities and injuries on our roads are decreasing yearly.
Claims management companies are currently bombarding Brits with text messages encouraging them to make a claim if they have been in an accident. They appear to select numbers randomly 'just on the off case' and this could encourage the less than honest to make a spurious claim.
I'm sure all drivers would like to see an end to this practice, if only to reduce their annual insurance premiums.

I'm 33, a small town girl living in this "big city." 33'33" eyes of blue (name that song), and always up to something! I'm a goofy free woman sex in Nyang girl, and fun to be around.

On any given Saturday morning you'll find me fishing at the lake, reading in the front yard listening to the Beatles, or shopping with the girls. Saturday night I might be dancing at the Spur (not well!), playing poker with friends, or watching chick flicks with my girls. I'd like to think I'm well rounded (but not round!). I like country music, most things on kink.fm, and "pop" stuff, too. Not to fear, I have a job and a car! Shocking, I know. The guy for me would have lots of friends and be as independent as I am! He would remember how to open doors (but let me get my own, too). Sooo as for the list of thing I want to do this summer! I really want to go kayaking (never been) and play tennis! I bought a tennis racket and balls (sorry, they are pink!) and have never played (ok, once with my grandma, and she kicked my ass). I'd like to learn how to "really" dance at The Spur, and go to the zoo, too. Hiking is a little less scary with two! How 'bout Silver Falls 33 miler?

If you have been to Finland, the home of a mobile phone company giant, everything works there by simply sending a text message, dialing a dedicated number or by just using a mobile number. You can ride a cab, watch a movie, dine in a restaurant or get your favorite snack from the vendo machine using a mobile phone. Very convenient, yeah?
The good news is, the country is also now joining the mobile payment system bandwagon. In our case, business owners tap this payment platform to get new customers and keep existing ones coming back for more. And well, there are plenty of loyalty and reward systems out there that can help a business enterprise expand its customer database.
Case in point, emerging loyalty rewards program ZAP, a first of its kind in the Philippines, taps the growing numbers of mobile phone users in the country by letting its members earn points and eventually using these points to make future purchases. Cash Back points are good as cash. ZAP members can purchase their next meal, clothes and shoes using their points by simply entering their mobile number at any terminal found in ZAP partner merchants. (1 point is equal to 1 peso).
On the other hand, this reward system allows business owners to give their loyal customers a good reason to come back to their shops every single time by giving ZAP members 5 percent to 20 percent cash back. With 30 thousand (and counting) registered members, this rewards system appears to be more of a win-win situation.
Registering is an easy 3-step process: sign up for free by entering some of your details; verify your email; and finally verify your mobile number. You can start from here: https://www.zap.com.ph/

The New York Times has a history of ignoring one of journalism's basic principles: don't bury the lede. However, given the Times coverage of the GWOT (and Israel in general) there are more ledes buried on these issues than in Saddam's killing fields.
It's no surprise that in its Week In Review column this week the newspaper again ignores the elephant in the room so it can conveniently insert its own editorial political points which continue to masquerade as news reporting.
The Times notes that:
"The campaign may succeed, experts here and in Israel say, but it could also backfire. Either way, the political consequences could reverberate throughout the Middle East, all the way to Iran, and help determine the ability of President-elect Barack Obama to pursue his stated goals of calming the Middle East through diplomacy."
Never mind the inherent demagoguery in the comment that President elect Obama wants to "calm" the Middle East through diplomacy. The question is, what will actually help President elect Obama as this Israeli action unfolds? The Times saves that point for the last two paragraphs of a twenty plus paragraph article and still misses the point:
"It is likely that the immediate fighting will have ended by Inauguration Day. (emphasis mine) If so, President Obama will be able to capitalize on the cease-fire to renew a push for a permanent settlement. He once suggested throwing American weight behind regional talks that would include Hamas, but that may no longer be a possibility. Mr. Bush fiercely resisted any accommodation with a group the United States and European Union classify as a terrorist organization.
"He has one advantage: that this is happening now," (emphasis mine) said Mr. Asali of the American Task Force for Palestine. "The passionate reactions, the emotional reactions, the hatred, et cetera, et cetera, will be directed at the present administration rather than the next one. But that is a slight silver lining."
The benefits that accrue to Obama as a result of the broad time frame of regional events, including the recent Israeli response (the ground invasion began today), are far greater than the Times cares and wants to admit. Some historical reality and perspective is called for to actually comprehend the events of the day as they relate to future "diplomacy" that Obama might pursue.
For example, whatever diplomatic course Obama chooses to pursue, he will be able to do so with an advantage given to him by President Bush at incalculable political cost and military sacrifice. No other U S president since Harry Truman has enjoyed such a negotiating advantage.
1) The U S will have several hardened bases in Iraq that provide a force projection threat that will not be ignored by interested parties…such as Iran and Syria. (Long forgotten are the difficult times of Middle East negotiations when the extent of force projection was stationing the USS New Jersey off the coast of Beirut and risking a Marine detachment at the Beirut airport).
2) These bases are contiguous to the two countries that have sponsored Hamas and Hezbollah activities in the region, Iran and Syria.
3) Another sponsor of foreign terror and regional destabilization, Saddam Hussein, has assumed room temperature.
The Times could write this piece another way but that would require a level of journalistic and intellectual honesty, as well a demonstration of character and integrity, that they long ago traded in after their sellout to the leftist mob.

The Kingdom of God takes two forms – the Kingdom within, and the Kingdom to come. One is a journey, the other a destiny.
The Kingdom to come
We are waiting for a Kingdom to come. We pray in the Lord's prayer "Thy Kingdom Come, thy Will be done".
After the Pharisees asked Jesus "When will the Kingdom of God come?", speaking of Himself He told the Pharisees "The Kingdom of God is in your midst" (Luke 17:20).
The Pharisees were deeply religious men who were well versed in scripture and should have recognised Him as their King, but they didn't. Jesus called them "blind guides" who "shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. They themselves did not enter, nor would they let those enter who were trying to" (Matthew 23). Watch out for the Pharisees.
The coming of the King, the Lamb and the Lion.
Why did the Pharisees not recognise the King? It is because the scriptures speak of two comings.
The first coming was as the lamb of God – the suffering servant described by the prophet Isaiah, 700 years before His birth. Read Isaiah 53 for His description. Even though they had these scriptures in the synagogues, they were not prepared for the Lamb.
They wanted the Lion – the promised King who will come in great power, glory and authority to establish the Kingdom of God on Earth.
This is the second coming, the return of the King, whose coming we await.
The Kingdom within
Jesus tells us in Matthew 6 to "seek the Kingdom of God first". What does this look like?
How can we seek a Kingdom that is not yet established? Or is it?
When we repent of our sins, are baptized and begin following the lead of the Holy Spirit, we voluntarily place ourselves under the laws and authority of the coming Kingdom of God.
Living by the laws of the Kingdom
There are two laws in the Kingdom. This is what Jesus said in reponse to the Pharisees;
"Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
Jesus replied:
"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it:
'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22:34-37
What would the world look like if we all did this?

Steve Kerr lied to the media, and not one Warriors fan will (or should) mind. All day he told reporters he'd utilize the same starting lineup we've seen for weeks, but in the minutes before Game 4 we finally learned what Kerr and his team knew all day (if not earlier): Andre Iguodala would start in place of Andrew Bogut.
That move — along with a fast, urgent, confident effort from the team's offense and more of the same stellar defense we've come to expect — led to a 103-82 win in the biggest game of the year, which makes Game 5 of this NBA Finals the biggest game of the year, and so on.
For three games, the Warriors repeatedly ran into the Cavs' frontline and bounced backward, as if LeBron James, Timofey Mozgov and Tristan Thompson were a brick wall and all the Warriors had at their disposal were down jackets. Kerr realized that even though Bogut and Festus Ezeli are capable players who successfully vanquished Dwight Howard, this was a different test entirely.
The Warriors don't hold the size advantage, they hold the depth and speed advantages. And the Warriors' depth doesn't necessarily mean they have to play 10 guys significant minutes. They've repeatedly harped on the point that the Cavs only play seven guys, but only seven Warriors played more than 10 minutes, with Stephen Curry's 41 minutes (22 points on 8-of-17 shooting, four threes and six assists) leading the way. But the Warriors have choices, and on Thursday they made the right one.
Shaun Livingston was a HUGE plus
David Lee played 15 minutes. He was the first guy off the bench, and despite a few missed layups he was a net postive (9 points, 5 rebounds, some impressive defensive moments against Mozgov, +4 on the night). But the top reserve of Game 4 was Livingston, who grabbed 8 rebounds in 24 minutes to go along with 7 points and 4 assists. He defended. His plus/minus of +25 led everyone. Most importantly, he fits perfectly with the team's new motto …
Run those damned Cavs off the court.
But it all started with the best running player on the Warriors.
Iguodala goes from best Finals reserve to best player on the floor
Klay Thompson started the game on LeBron James, and others pitched in. But James was Iguodala's responsibility more than anyone else's, and Iguodala had one of his best defensive performances of the season (along with Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against James Harden).
The Warriors needed someone other than Curry to score, and Iguodala tied Curry for the team lead in points with 22. The Cavs didn't respect his outside shot, and Iguodala made them pay by making four rainbow threes in nine attempts.
The Warriors spotted the Cavs seven points at the start of this game, and with the pace (slow-ish) and the Cavaliers' play (very strong) looking similar to what we saw in the previous three games, Kerr's lineup switch looked like it would change nothing. The Warriors started making some shots here and there, and after James shook Iguodala and made a layup, Iguodala pulled off a play that set the tone — instead of hanging or shaking his head, he took off. He got the outlet pass from Draymond Green, and easily won the race to rim as he dunked with one hand. It was a key moment in a 31-point first quarter, the first quarter the Warriors ended with the lead in this series (unless you count their lead at the end of overtime in Game 1).
Golden State had 11 fast break points on the night. They weren't exactly the Showtime Lakers, but they were a lot more mobile than they were in Game 3, when they had four fast break points. They were 12-for-30 from three, not a whole lot better than Game 3 (12-for-34). They made 36 field goals in Game 4, the same total as Game 3. It was how they scored their points and swarmed defensively that turned this series around.
Hey, they gave the big-man game a healthy try — they had 18 offensive rebounds in Game 3 — but that's not the way they're going to beat the Cavs. The grind-it-out game is what the Cavs need to maintain their wind and thrive, and Cleveland was exhausted in Game 4. James admitted he was "gassed" after playing the entire third quarter. Meanwhile, a player who looked nothing like he did throughout the season through the first three games of this series — a player who looked like he may have been overworked in the first three playoff series — came back to life.
The return of Draymond
Green said after the game that he was his fault that the Warriors were "soft" in Games 1, 2 and 3, and that his now-famous mom and probably soon-to-be-famous grandmother said he was "crying too much." The self-awareness from Green is impressive, especially in a public setting like an NBA Finals postgame press conference, but his play was even better. The back was still sore, but he had a signature Green game: 17 points (6-for-11 from the field), 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 5 fouls, and an "AND-ONE!"
What's next …
Bogut is now just a spare part in this series and Ezeli didn't even play (James Michael McAdoo and Justin Holiday both got some garbage time run, along with Mo Speights), and it'll stay that way. The Warriors will hope Mozgov and Thompson miss close shots while swarming James, a strategy that makes sense (like the Cavs worrying about Curry and Klay Thompson while letting everyone else shoot).
Mozgov led all scorers with 28. He was outstanding. The Cavs still lost by 21 at home. So we're going to see some sort of counter-adjustment from Cleveland in order to take some of the heat off James and get the pace back to snail-status. What will LeBron … err, Blatt … decide?
Oracle Arena is going to be insane on Sunday. Will the Warriors soar to new Finals heights or go back to feeling the pressure? Game 4 seemed like a breakthrough, but no way have they mentally defeated LeBron Raymone James with one measly win. He's seen it all before.
Dub Steps
— Mark Jackson: not a fan of Harrison Barnes.
— I wish I knew what Matthew Dellavedova said to Lee at the end of the first quarter after bumping him. Lee isn't as blatant as Dellavedova, but he'll throw an elbow and gouge an eye from time to time. Maybe Delly is one of those guys who can dish it but can't take it?
— One thing Delly shouldn't take — as many shots. He went 3-for-14 with just four assists. He's playing like a guy who read all those stories about him when he was in the hospital getting rehydrated and saw the kid behind the Cavs bench holding a Delly fathead. Cleveland doesn't have a lot of offensive threats, but Dellavedova should worry less about his own threes and more about getting other guys open.
— And yeah, so much for the Dellavedova-is-a-Curry-stopper talk.
— The third quarter was when the Warriors weathered the second storm of the game (the first came early in the first quarter, as Kerr mentioned during the team's first timeout). Golden State fought off Cleveland with threes. When the Cavs made it 65-62 with Dellavedova's alley-oop to James, the Warriors came out of their timeout with a three by Harrison Barnes. At the end of the quarter, after James made a free throw and the Warriors led 73-70, Curry made a three and let out a nice yell that was caught on the ABC microphones as the crowd went silent. The game was Golden State's at that point, as the Warriors started the fourth quarter on a 6-0 run and led by double-digits the rest of the way.
— Did Iman Shumpert's shoulder injury linger? His defense on Klay Thompson was impressive, but he went 2-for-9, 1-for-5 on threes. (Credit should go to Klay for not forcing his own offense in Game 4, however.)
— James had one of the least impressive almost-triple-doubles (22/12/8) in recent memory, although he did cut his head after colliding with a camera on the baseline. It's pretty amazing that the NBA allows cameras that close to the action without any barriers. It's also pretty amazing that in this day and age, a guy can slam his head into a heavy object hard enough to cause an open wound and not go through the concussion protocol.
— James' head injury required stitches, and his fall was caused in part by a pretty hard foul by Bogut, who committed three of them in less than three minutes. Bogut probably likes his new role, actually.
— How tired was James? Barnes blocked one of his shots.
— The Warriors had only seven turnovers, showing they can actually take care of the ball when they have no other choice. Barnes (33 minutes), Green (39 minutes) and Klay Thompson (39 minutes) went through this game without turning it over once.
— J.R. Smith came to the game in a Segway, then reeled off a -27 night while going 2-for-12, 0-for-8 on threes. Sounds about right.
— Mozgov and Tristan Thompson combined for 40 points on 15-of-25 shooting with 23 rebounds, but Cleveland's guards went 7-for-35 from the floor (3-for-22 on threes).
— Klay Thompson didn't do a whole lot statistically, but his defense was solid and he shhhh'd the crowd at the end (reminiscent of his boisterous — for him — behavior at Staples in last year's playoffs). The Cavs looked like the more confident team throughout Game 2, Game 3, and the first half of the first quarter of Game 4, but there was no doubt who felt better about the future as Game 4 drew to a close.

langupdate [[[-n] | [--dry-run ]]] [[[--suite]] string] [[[-r] | [--autoremove]]] [[[-m] | [--mirror]] string] [[[-v] | [--verbose]] integer]
- langupdate {[[-?] | [-h] | [--help] | [--version]]}
langupdate uses a temporary file for the sources.list and updates it from the list of supported locales each time langupdate is run, i.e. it combines the effects of apt-get update with apt-get upgrade. tdeb packages have no dependencies so 'dist-upgrade' is not required.
Emdebian TDebs provide a method for splitting all translation files out of packages and into separate TDeb packages, organised by the locale root and source package. This allows individual users to only install translations files for the locales supported on their own machine and only for the packages installed at the time.
Note that this functionality is not available for Debian TDebs and langupdate does not install any translation packages if only Debian packages are installed as these already contain all the translation files.
langupdate is intended to support Emdebian Grip where Emdebian packages can be mixed with Debian packages.
Disc space is not cheap
Debian packages collate all available translations into a single package which can easily lead to 250Mb of unused translation files on a typical installation. Emdebian generates a single package for every translation of each Emdebian package, leading to a tenfold increase in the number of binary packages built from each source package. To solve this problem, langupdate supports a secondary apt cache so that the main apt cache can be kept as small as possible.
langupdate then queries the secondary apt cache to get a list of all translation packages (tdebs) that match the list of locales supported on the device. This list is then compared with the list of installed binaries. The translation packages that match the installed package are then installed with apt-get.
Why C and C++?
There is no direct hook into apt-get upgrade and no easy way of reading the apt-cache from C without forking a call to apt-cache itself. So I use libapt-pkg which is a C++ library. The rest of the code is C because I prefer to use the memory management of glib2. If anyone fancies porting langupdate to just C++ for use on devices that do not have room for libglib2.0-0, patches are welcome.
- Request apt to purge all orphaned TDebs - either where the package has been uninstalled or the locale has become unsupported.
- Display version of langupdate and exit.
-?| -h|--help
- Display help message for langupdate and exit.
langupdate options
- Show the cache data without installing any packages. (In autoremove mode, show the list of packages to be removed without performing the purge.)
-m|--mirror MIRROR
- Override the default Emdebian mirror (http://www.emdebian.org/locale/) and use a different one.
--suite SUITE
- Specify a different suite to check. Only suites supported by the chosen mirror will be usable. The default Emdebian mirror only supports testing and unstable or the codenames sid, lenny and (once Lenny is released) squeeze.
--verbose integer
- Increase the verbosity of messages, levels between 0 and 4 are supported.
langupdate is primarily intended for Emdebian support and plans for TDebs in Debian are only at a planning stage. Emdebian packages can be identified by the em[0-9] version suffix:
Example 1.1. Example of an Emdebian version suffix in use
apt-cache show dpkg Package: dpkg Source: dpkg (1.14.23) Version: 1.14.23em1 Architecture: amd64 Maintainer: Dpkg Developers <[email protected]> Installed-Size: 1096 Pre-Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1), coreutils (>= 5.93-1), lzma Replaces: manpages-de (<= 0.4-3em1), manpages-pl (<= 20051117-1em1) Conflicts: apt (<< 0.7.7em1), aptitude (<< 0.4.7-1em1), dpkg-dev (<< 1.14.16em1), dpkg-iasearch (<< 0.11em1), sysvinit (<< 2.82-1em1) Priority: required Section: admin Filename: pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.14.23em1_amd64.deb Size: 447968
Emdebian packages already have all /usr/share/locale/* content removed, so the Emdebian TDeb does not need to Replace: the Emdebian package. There is one Emdebian TDeb per source package per locale per architecture which could, potentially, have to Replace: multiple binary packages built from the one source package in Debian. Even if the sysadmin removes files from /usr/share/locale/ manually, it is not trivial for langupdate to identify which files remain and therefore which TDebs could be safely installed. Therefore, langupdate compares the list of binary packages installed with the list of available TDebs and ignores TDebs where the binary package does not bear an Emdebian version suffix.
Unless the system includes a mix of both Debian and Emdebian packages, langupdate will report that there is nothing to do.
langupdate is heavily reliant on accurate data in the dpkg and apt data sources. The size of these data sources also has a significant impact on processing time, especially where a mix of Debian and Emdebian packages exist.
Please attach the output of apt-cache policy to all bug reports against langupdate in Debian.

Zheng He! Zheng He! Is there a better icon for interstellar voyaging?
Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng set out from China on massive naval expeditions that reached as far as Mecca and Mombasa, journeys with more than 300 vessels and 28,000 crew, excursions far bigger and longer than those of Columbus more than a half century later. Staggering in price, formidable in technical sophistication, unprecedented in level of national commitment—Zheng's voyages remain the closest functional equivalent to the cost, effort, and risk required to travel into deep space. Trying to picture what settling other planets might entail? One place to look is 15th-century China.
Zheng was an unlikely candidate for a life of far-flung adventure. At the time of his birth, China was torn by war between the Yuan dynasty and surging Ming rebels. Zheng was born into a Muslim family in the remote Yunnan province, then a battleground between Yuan and Ming. When he was about 10, invading Ming forces captured him and slaughtered most of his family. The boy was castrated. Forced to serve the Ming crown prince, Zheng eventually became his confidant and trusted adviser. After the last Yuan emperor fled in 1368, Zheng became part of an elite group of eunuch adventurers and troubleshooters at the Ming court in Beijing.
The Ming government backed Zheng for decades. Seven times the emperor arrogantly overruled his accountants and summoned the vast amounts of material necessary to provision thousands of people on years-long voyages. Ultimately, Zheng took the Ming banner as far as East Africa and the Middle East.1 These areas were poorer than China, but they were thriving and productive. Alas, traveling to Africa to buy its iron, no matter how high the quality, would be like driving a hundred miles to pick up a gallon of exceptionally good milk—not a sensible use of time, money, or effort. In 1433, the voyages abruptly ceased; Ming bureaucrats had finally convinced the elite that they didn't make economic sense.
Zheng He's ship undertook one of mankind's greatest explorations into the unknown. Chris Philpot
If we traveled to other worlds, could we avoid the Zheng He problem? Back in 1978, the Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman, a science fiction fan, playfully laid out the basic economics of interstellar trade. To justify the cost, Krugman pointed out, would-be starfarers must bring back something worth more than what they would have made by putting the same money in an interest-bearing account and staying on Earth. Going to distant planets, in other words, means fighting one of the greatest forces in human affairs: compound interest.
Today, the cheapest rockets available charge a little less than $1,000 to send 1 pound of material into low-earth orbit. Sending that pound to other planets, let alone the stars, would cost vastly more. To be sure, time and expense might be reduced by building space elevators and (should the laws of physics permit) taking advantage of handy wormholes. But the lesson of Zheng He remains: Exploration of distant lands will be a short-lived venture unless it yields something really, really valuable.

Matrix Heads First Head Support
Matrix offers a complete range of comfortable and corrective head support. Additional frame and extension combinations allow for asymmetrical head positioning. The "arm and leg" extensions of the headrests can be individually lengthened, shortened, and shaped as needed.
The adjustability of the extensions can serve a variety of purposes. ALS patients often find neck pain relief by bending the lower extensions inward slightly to create a small up-force on the neck. All Matrix head support products ensure that head positions are stabilized and clearance for ears is maximized, so that hearing is not impeded and pressure injury risk is minimized.
Notice: Undefined variable: wtclass in /data/18/4/8/90/4334905/user/4994835/htdocs/wp-content/themes/matrixseatingusa/single-products.php on line 70
Head and neck support for users who tilt/recline regularly. All Heads First head support feet can be bent inward slightly to create a small up-force on the neck which commonly results in pain relief in ASL patients.
Excellent head support for concealed switches.
Black Bear
Head and neck support with concealed switching options. All Heads First head supports with upper extensions can be slightly bent towards midline to create a 'springy' grip on the head to help prevent the user's head falling forward.
Minimalist head and neck support.
More information
The Difference
Matrix Head Support consists of an adjustable shaped metal core and a machine washable soft padded cover customized for the client's needs. The "arm and leg" extensions of the head rest can be moved in and out on the central frame to lengthen or shorten them. Each component of Head First can be bent and/or twisted to ensure maximum contact with the user increasing comfort.
Custom Headrests
The Original Matrix Inner Shell components can also be used to custom shape virtually any seating component, including headrests. Some ATP's utilize the Matrix Keen 3D scanner or custom shape a headrest and send it to us for a cover, buckle and hardware.

Forums › Forums › Traffic Signs › TSRGD 2016 › Dia. 652 illumination requirements › Reply To: Dia. 652 illumination requirements
Hi Bryn
In the current (2002) TSRGD 652 only has to be electrically lit if it needs to be seen by drivers who have just turned into that road within the last 50 m. Otherwise retroreflective is fine. (Schedule 17 is pretty difficult to follow on this!)
DfT have clearly stated that in the new Regs electrical lighting on all signs within a 20 mph speed limits will be optional, including ones that are safety critical like 616 (no entry). So if their latest draft of the 2015 TSRGD says something different, that is clearly an error that will hopefully be picked up in the imminent "technical review and general sense check".
So I would only put forward for electrical lighting those 652s that are within 50 m on the start of a road (or a side turning at which you can join it in the relevant direction) and are unlikely to be within a 20 mph speed limit of either sort in the the near future. You might also wish to consider whether they are all actually needed or whether some can be removed completely.
