During the past two years I have come to know the absolute joy of owning reptiles. I had no idea how wonderful these creatures were until my boyfriend introduced me to them. We have six: four snakes and two lizards.
The snakes we own are a children's python, a rosy boa and two ball pythons. The lizards are a spiny-tailed iguana and a black and white tegu.
Most reptiles are quite easy to take care of. They are low maintenance and not very demanding. If you provide them with an adequate-size enclosure, and the right temperature, humidity and lighting, they will mostly take care of themselves.
They're all sweet, but in my opinion the lizards are much more fun than the snakes. There are many species you can let roam around the house, and they will provide natural pest control by eating insects that may invade your home.

Pallet-type shelves with free combination, easy to disassemble and move, according to the height of the item push code, arbitrary adjustment of the position of the beam, but also known as adjustable pallet shelves.Pallet Rack
Pallet-type shelves, commonly known as beam-type shelves, or shelf-type shelves, usually heavy-duty shelves, in the domestic various storage shelves system is the most common. First of all, it is necessary to set up a modular unit, the packaging of goods and the weight of the characteristics of the panel, determine pallet types, specifications, dimensions, and ask carrying weight and heap height (ask cargo weight is generally within 2000kg), then determine the span, depth, and spacing of the unit shelf, depending on the effective height of the warehouse roof and the maximum fork height of the forklift to determine the height of the shelf. Unit shelf span is generally within 4m, depth in 1.5m, low, high warehouse shelf height is generally within 12m, super high warehouse shelf height is generally within 30m (such warehouses are basically automated warehouses, the total height of the shelves by a number of sections of the column within the 12m). In this kind of warehouse, the low, high level warehouse mostly uses the front-shift battery forklift truck, the balance heavy battery forklift truck, the three-way forklift to carry on the access operation, the shelf is shorter also may use the electric Stacker High machine, the ultra high level storehouse uses the stacker to carry on the operation. The space utilization of this kind of shelve system is high, the access is flexible and convenient, supplemented by Computer Management or control, can basically meet the requirements of modern logistics system.Pallet Rack
Pallet shelf utilization is high, access flexible and convenient, supplemented by Computer Management or control, pallet-type shelves can meet the basic requirements of modern logistics system. Pallet shelves Application pallet Shelves are widely used in manufacturing, third-party logistics and distribution centers, and other fields, not only suitable for many varieties of small quantities of goods, but also suitable for small varieties of large quantities of goods. Pallet racks are used most in high warehouses and in super high warehouses, and are divided into pallet pallets and gravity pallet racks.
Shelf is a storage tool, it is mainly used in industry, for our storage work provides a great convenience. Before the shelves were very single in style, there is a shelf, drawer-style, cabinet-style, and with the development of the shelves are now a very complete variety of plant, for different needs we can go to the shelves of the production plant to buy their own needs, there are movable, loft-style, adjustable and so on. This has brought a lot of convenience to our work, can be seen at a glance to find the products there, but also easy to remove, improve people's efficiency. According to the other specifications to be divided into one is the line bar type of shelves, we will be detailed introduction of this kind.Pallet Rack

- Hands-On With Zero Latency's Team Shooter Sol Raiders
Australia-based VR company Zero Latency is debuting its new team-based competitive VR shooter at locations worldwide.
Sol Raiders is opening at 25 locations running Zero Latency's large-scale VR platform. In the game, two teams of up to four players each face off across three rounds. The company invited me to its Las Vegas location in the MGM Grand to check out the new game.
Tickets are available now.
Hands-on With Sol Raiders
What's notable immediately about Zero Latency is that they've got a custom tracking system following the location of a modified OSVR HDK 2 and their own gun design.
I strapped on their backpack, adjusted the OSVR lenses and entered their Holodeck-like stage for the first time.
While Zero Latency's stages are large-scale free-roam spaces in the real world, they can be transformed into tight corridors in VR.
In one of the rounds, shooting doors makes them open to sometimes reveal players hidden on the other side. Another area requires you to step onto a lift and then shoot a target to tell it to go to a new area. Snipers attack from nests overhead. Getting shot or having a door close while you're standing in its way kills your avatar and requires you to walk back to the respawn point.
Both during gameplay and after death players are alerted to the actual locations of other physical players. There's a radar system during gameplay and the game's oversized virtual gun helps you to keep a safe distance from other players long before bumping into them.
Sol Raiders is Zero Latency's 6th game but its first team-based shooter where you fight other humans. Other games from Zero Latency face off against zombies or robots. The company released figures showing growth in the number of playthroughs (and players) at Zero Latency's VR locations:
Total game plays per year:
2016: 31,175
2017: 216,667
2018: 419,767
Total unique players per year:
2016: 28,028
2017: 153,298
2018: 297,103
With a team-based shooter, the idea is that Zero Latency's locations could become hubs for competitive combat from more repeat visitors.
Sol Raiders supports English, Spanish and Japanese at launch. I got an email in my pocket with the results of my match the moment it was finished. Though I crushed the competition in overall kills, they beat us in two rounds by achieving the objectives more frequently.
Hardware And Zero Latency's 2nd Platform
This was my first time testing an OSVR headset since E3 2016 when Razer put me inside an experience without positional tracking. Zero Latency did the hard work of adding its own positional tracking solution and created an entirely different caliber of experience.
Still, I didn't feel like the tracking, or the OSVR headset's visuals, were up to par with what I've seen with VR-based entertainment from Spaces, The VOID, Dreamscape Immersive or Neurogaming. Zero Latency's tracking system relies on lights above the headset which seemed to create a bit of sway to my location. As long as I focused on the action

- MWC 2019: HTC CEO Cher Wang To Talk 'Realizing Vive Reality' At Keynote
HTC will take the stage at this month's Mobile World Congress event, putting its Vive Reality initiative in focus.
Company CEO Cher Wang will host a keynote speech at this year's show. HTC told us that the overall theme of her talk will concern "realizing Vive Reality".
That's a loaded topic for HTC. The term Vive Reality was first coined during 2018's Vive Ecosystem Conference in china. At the time, the company said the term defined interconnecting technologies like VR, AR, 5G and AI. It's Vive's vision for an ecosystem in which, say, your phone can talk with your VR or AR headset, letting you know when you have new messages etc.
Since then, though, 'Vive Reality' has taken on another meaning at HTC too. At CES last month the company announced the Vive Reality System. This is a new VR platform set to power its upcoming Vive Cosmos platform. The service will provide direct access to Viveport but also let users meet up with friends in virtual environments and launch core apps like Mozilla's VR browser.
We'd expect the MWC keynote to be largely concerned with the former use of the term. But that doesn't mean that the Vive Reality System won't play a part in the talk. In fact, we're hoping HTC has some big announcements in store for MWC considering that we're still waiting on a release date and price for the Vive Pro Eye and, well, just about any news on Cosmos.
The keynote kicks off at 14:30 CET on Monday, February 25th.

- The Wizards PSVR Edition Now Due In Early March
Carbon Studio's spell-casting VR adventure, The Wizards, should finally arrive on PSVR very soon.
The Wizards PSVR edition is aiming for launch in "early March". The team said as much over on r/PSVR this week. Carbon had planned to get the game out in February but it's apparently just shy of making that goal. That said, the game has passed submission and the team has the all-clear for release. Expect a more solid release date in the next few weeks.
To celebrate the news, Carbon released some new footage of the game running on PSVR below. Based on first impressions the visuals look rock solid. We can definitely see a little blurriness in the textures compared to the PC VR version but overall it looks like a job well done.
via Gfycat
We quite enjoyed The Wizards when it first hit Rift and Vive early last year. We thought the spell-casting battles were a lot of fun, though there were a few issues. "Plenty of collectibles, a replayable Arena mode, and lots of mission augmentations add up to this being one of the best ways to live out your most fantastical magical fantasies in VR," we said in our review. "We just wanted more and preferably multiplayer of some kind."
As we wrote in January, the game will be one of the first to support the PSVR edition of the 3DRudder foot controller. That means you'll be able to move around using the controller on your feet instead of trying to navigate with the Move controllers.

- WebXR Device API Working Draft Published
Standards group W3C moved VR and AR on the Web forward this week with the publication of a draft specification.
The WebXR Device API "describes support for accessing virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices, including sensors and head-mounted displays, on the Web." When paired with 3D content made in WebGL, the API can turn a standard URL or web address into a portal to another world.
Most VR developers build interactive virtual worlds in engines like Unreal and Unity. Programmers often write the underlying logic of those worlds in a language like C#. WebXR (which builds on earlier work called WebVR) could open up VR and AR development to developers familiar with Web-based tools like Amazon Sumerian, or languages like Javascript.
"The WebXR Device API will provide the first opportunity for AR and VR to help people at web scale," explained Trevor Flowers, chair of the Immersive Web Community Group. "It will be wild to see how millions of web creators across the globe use their existing skills to build a wider web."
The new WebXR application programming interface is still unstable and in need of further refinement. Eventually, though, it is likely to become another W3C standard. A wide range of devices can use the API including head-mounted displays "whether they are opaque, transparent, or utilize video passthrough."
The draft is edited by Brandon Jones of Google and Nell Waliczek of Amazon for the Immersive Web Working Group of the W3C.
"W3C approval is not required prior to browsers shipping a feature," Jones explained in a direct message. "It is encouraged that at least two browsers have an interoperable implementation of a feature prior to standardization. As a result some browsers may choose to ship WebXR after the API has stabilized but before the W3C has finished reviewing it."

- Oculus Audio SDK Update Adds Dynamic Geometric Sound Propagation
The latest update to the Oculus Audio SDK adds the long awaited dynamic audio propagation feature.
The Audio SDK spatializes audio sources in realtime using head-related transfer functions (HRTF). It also allows for volumetric and ambisonic sounds.
The SDK's spatializer originally simulated audio reflections/reverb by assuming a predefined rectangle around the user. That approach however assumes the user is in the centre of that rectangle. It also obviously doesn't work properly when moving around a scene. In early 2018 a feature called Dynamic Room Modeling was added. This allows developers to define the current room as a 3D rectangle with a position. When the user changes to a new room the developer can update the rectangle for that room.
This required a relatively large amount of effort on the developer's part however, and only fully works in perfectly rectangular spaces. It also couldn't model the transition between different sized spaces- such as going from inside to outside.
How the Audio SDK now 'sees' a scene
The new dynamic audio propagation analyzes the game geometry in realtime and accurately models the reflections. The developer simply needs to tag each object with an acoustic material to let it know how it should absord or reflect sound. Materials like carpet will absorb far more than materials like metal.
Valve's competing Steam Audio has had this feature for almost two years now, so this isn't new to the PC space.

- Respawn Reaffirms Its New Game Is Not Titanfall VR
Respawn Entertainment is a very, very busy developer. Earlier this week the company launched its new free-to-play battle royale game, Apex Legends. Later this year it's also set to release Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Now it's confirmed that more Titanfall content is in the works, but it's not a Titanfall VR spin-off.
Studio CEO Vince Zampella reaffirmed as much in a recent tweet. In response to recent reports that Apex Legends (itself set in the Titanfall universe) had replaced the much anticipated Titanfall 3, Zampella noted that the studio was "working on more Titanfall" for later in the year. When one fan stated that this would be the VR game Respawn is working on, the CEO simply replied: "No!"
— Vince Zampella (@VinceZampella) February 5, 2019
Respawn already stated that its VR game would not be set in the Titanfall or Star Wars universes when it was announced in 2017. It seems like plans haven't changed over the past two years.
What we do know is that Respawn's game will be exclusive to Oculus headsets (definitely the Rift, Quest TBA). It's a shooter that aims to give you an experience "closer to what a soldier would experience in real combat."
The initial teaser trailer for the game (above) states that it'll be out this year. That said, it was a no-show at Oculus Connect 5 last September. Oculus assured us that work on the game was progressing at the time. Still, with so many other projects in the works and Oculus revealing other exclusives like Asgard's Wrath, we're beginning to wonder if this project will really be out in 2019.

- Xing: The Land Beyond Hits PSVR Next Week With Exclusive Level
The long-awaited PSVR port of Xing: The Land Beyond is nearly here.
Developer White Lotus Interactive announced today that the game will launch on Sony's headset on February 12th. Xing is a first-person adventure game in which you explore a peaceful, idyllic island. The world around you is filled with puzzles to complete and story to unearth, though it's also just a nice game to exist inside of.
The game arrives on PS4 with optional PSVR support. It can be played with either DualShock 4 or two Move controllers. There's also an exclusive level of Sony fans named Agnirok. It features new puzzles and story elements.
For White Lotus, the PSVR version of Xing has been a long time coming. The game began development in 2012, raising $30,100 via a Kickstarter campaign in 2013. At the time, White Lotus speculated the game would be out later that year. The PC VR version of the game, however, didn't arrive until last 2017. Nearly a year and a half on and we're finally at the console release.
It's no secret that the studio is pinning a lot of hopes upon this release, too. Just over a year ago now the team revealed Xing had sold poorly on PC. The team has spent the past year pouring its efforts into the console version.
"It is an understatement to say development on Xing has been an incredible journey for us, and knowing that our adventure is finally coming to a head fills us with emotion," the team's Koriel Kruer wrote in a PlayStation Blog post announcing the news. We're not sure what's next for the team following the game's launch.

- Dick Wilde 2 May Finally Signal The End Of VR's Wave Shooter Era
I'll tell you a guilty secret; I kept playing Dick Wilde for quite a while after I gave it 6/10. Not because I thought I'd maybe misjudged it as a merely decent wave shooter, but because it was actually a pretty good workout. Its feverish difficulty could make it a chore to play for some but also an excellent way to burn calories.
I'm not sure Dick Wilde 2 will have even that going for it, though.
It's not that this sequel is notably 'bad' in any one area, more that it insists on retreading ground covered a hundred times over as this exhausted genre finally runs out of steam. The past six or seven months have been good to VR; we've had Astro Bot, Firewall, A Fisherman's Tale and many others. Returning to a wave shooter now is simply an ugly reminder that this used to be the extent of VR gaming. That's not something that throwing multiplayer into can fix.
Tellingly, myself and VR gaming wizard David Jagneaux didn't have much to say about the game as we shot our way through four levels. We've seen this all before and often in better games; 10 minute missions in which you shoot everything in sight and not much else. Rarely did it amount to anything more than simple background noise to our conversations. We mindlessly raised our arms in the general direction of bad guys. Then we thoughtlessly held down triggers until everyone was dead. Just as soon as it happened, everything was forgotten. If that's not a sign of another uninspiring addition to an overly-saturated genre, I'm not sure what is.
Co-op is an appreciated effort, but I fear it just makes the game too easy. From what I could tell there wasn't much different between playing the game in single or multiplayer, making the latter somewhat unbalanced. You can choose between easier and harder paths in this one, though it didn't seem to make much difference in co-op. Without the "refreshing" challenge of the first, Dick Wilde 2 looses what little edge the series already had.
Single player does fare a little better. Choosing the harder path by myself felt like I was playing the old Dick Wilde, complete with weaving out of the way of enemy projectiles. If you do die you go back to the very start of the level and it's tough to muster the enthusiasm for another round.
But, even at its most grueling, it's hard to shake the feeling that Dick Wilde 2 is behind the times. It's not loathsome, but it's unremarkable to the point of irrelevance. It certainly didn't help that the preview build's arsenal was locked out lackluster pistols, shotguns and uzis. One of the first game's better features was its makeshift arsenal of nail guns and razor-blade spouting death machines. Screenshots and trailers suggest that that kind of fun is hidden away for later levels, though.
Not a great first impression, then. This seems to be a sequel that cruises downstream without much to say

- PSVR's Blood And Truth Rating Suggests Launch Is Nearing
It's been months since we've seen anything new from PSVR-exclusive shooter, Blood And Truth. But a new listing for the game suggests launch may finally be within reach.
The Australian Classification board yesterday awarded the game a MA 15+ rating. The listing says the game has strong violence and language as well as mild sexual references. This doesn't necessarily mean that launch is imminent, but it's a good sign that developer Sony London is entering the home stretch. Other games like Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Firewall Zero Hour have been announced and released in the same window that we've been waiting for this.
That said, there aren't any PEGI or ESRB listings for the game just yet. It may be that it's still going through those rating processes.
Blood And Truth was first announced all the way back in 2017. It's Sony London's follow-up to the London Heist minigame found in its PlayStation VR Worlds launch compilation. Playing as a former SAS agent, you take to the streets of the UK capital and engage in shootouts with gangsters.
We've been hands-on with the game a few times now and we're hoping for a polished final product. It uses dual Move controllers and node-based locomotion. It can feel a little dated, but there are some good ideas in there too.
The game is one of two Sony-owned VR projects being developed in the UK right now. Last month we reported that the company's new Manchester-based studio is also working on an 'AAA' PSVR title and is still hiring for the project.

This "Extra-Special" Jewelry Trend Speaks for Itself
While some jewelry trends—say, dainty layered pieces—will always be in style, in 2018 there's one piece that fashion girls are wearing to adorn their ears and make a very chic statement doing so. We had an inkling last fall this would become a major look, but our predictions were validated when shopping destination Net-a-Porter featured a curated assortment of earrings dubbed "extra-special." Translation? Earrings that stand apart from the rest—through sculptural shapes inspired by fine art and nature and rendered to embrace their imperfections—have emerged as the biggest jewelry trend of the year.
These standout pieces are best worn as a pair to elevate a low-key look or alone as a single piece for an eclectic take on asymmetry. However you choose to wear the new statement-making pieces, let them take center stage by paring down the rest of your jewelry for the day. From artful curves rendered in bronze to some unadulterated, KiraKira+-ready glam, you'll find the chicest of the season's statement earrings below.
Inspired by the modern canvases of Henri Matisse, this pair is a work of art all its own.
An elevated approach to a whimsical design.
"This pair is a play on balance and movement inspired by Stonehenge," the L.A.-based jewelry designer explains on her site.
These would look great to contrast dark, tailored pieces.
Not your average hoops.
Play up the whimsical nature of this pair by wearing with exaggerated silhouettes like flared sleeves.
Time to upgrade your standard drop earrings.
Mix and match the color of your earrings for a quirky-cool effect.
We'd wear this pair with a chunky knit sweater and jeans.
Rich emerald hues are shaping up to be a major 2018 jewelry trend.
Another set that works so well as single earrings, too.
We've seen so many version of the "filled-in" hoops.
This pair is begging to be worn to a glamorous black-tie affair.
Each of Leigh Miller's unique pieces is inspired by the patterns of ocean whirlpools and carefully handmade to re-create the ripples of water.
No one plays with color and material in jewelry quite like Rachel Comey does.
Just as easily worn together as they are alone.
Ideal for creating a cool single-earring look.
For truly unique pairs, we recommend shopping from independent makers. Your first stop? Etsy.
A cute and simple way to add some color to your looks.
This petite pair packs all the fun into a small size that's simple enough to layer with other gold earrings.

The new Nikon P-Tactical Spur is the company's first small red-dot sight, and it's definitely a beauty!
Nikon has long been respected by shooters for its quality binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders and riflescopes, but until now, it had never produced a miniature reflex sight. That changed this year due to increased consumer demand for red dots by competitive shooters, as well as those who want "urban" rifles and PDWs for personal protection.
NEW: The Nikon P-Tactical Superdot Red Dot Sight
These sights are popular because they are often superior to scopes, lasers and iron sights when targets are engaged out to 100 and 150 yards. Compared to most other sighting systems, many people find red dots provide faster target acquisitions. They also allow you to shoot easily with both eyes open. This makes them just about ideal for close- to medium-range targets.
Built to Excel
The P-Tactical Spur is both high tech and rugged. …Read the Rest

home service trolley / oak / beech
oak, beech
The Classic tea serving trolley table features three shelves, edges protection, two drawers, and hidden wheels, that belongs to our collection of Classic High Quality Furniture. Design inspired by the Victorian style, original of the ArtesMoble brand of simple moldings and turned feet.

This function initializes a timer object associated with a driver's timer function.
VOID NdisInitializeTimer(
PNDIS_TIMER Timer,
PNDIS_TIMER_FUNCTION TimerFunction,
PVOID FunctionContext
- Timer
[in] Points to caller-supplied, resident storage that receives a timer object.
- TimerFunction
[in] Specifies the entry point of a caller-supplied timer function that is called when the timer expires.
- FunctionContext
[in] Points to a caller-supplied context to be passed to the specified timer function when it is called.
Return Values
A protocol driver might request that NDIS provide timing services. To request timing services, this protocol driver calls NdisInitializeTimer to set up the driver's timer function. Typically, NdisInitializeTimer is called when a driver initializes. The protocol driver must call NdisInitializeTimer with a caller-supplied pointer to store a timer object, thereby associating a driver-supplied timer function with the timer object. The protocol driver must call NdisInitializeTimer before the driver passes the Timer pointer to any other NdisXXXTimer function.
Calls to the NdisSetTimer function insert the timer object in the system timer queue. Calls to NdisCancelTimer dequeue the timer object if it is currently queued. Only one instance of a particular timer object can be queued at any given moment.
After a driver calls NdisSetTimer, the timer object at Timer is queued until the interval specified in the call expires.
OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Ndis.h.

This article guides you through the steps necessary to provision a global mbox to deliver other nested mboxes into your pages with Adobe Test&Target, accommodating multiple optimization campaigns without campaign conflict.
Global Mboxes
In order to accommodate the multitude of Optimization Campaigns at scale that an enterprise business typically runs in Adobe Test&Target, you'll need to provision a "Global Mbox" on the page that can be used to deliver as many additional nested mboxes as you need according to the amount of concurrent campaigns you'll be running. Since one mbox may only be used to deliver one campaign's offer at a time, using a "Global Mbox" you'll be able to provision additional mboxes, one per the active campaigns that will be running concurrently. This allows for greater scalability without campaign conflict. As each Optimization Campaign has completed and its corresponding nested mbox is no longer needed. You'll be able to remove that nested mbox from being provisioned. Naturally, your "Global Mbox" will need to be deployed via your "Global Rule" to be activated globally.
Provisioning Your Global Mbox
1. To begin, launch the Ensighten Visual Tagger and click on the "Testing" button. From there, click on the "T&T Provisioner" button to enter the module.
2. Enter a name for your global mbox. Keep it as semantically meaningful as possible so you will easily recognize it when setting up your T&T campaigns.
3. Next, choose the mbox type. Select "Global" and continue.
4. Click on the "Targeting" button to expand its contents. From here you can build your conditional targeting which acts as a filter and only creates your mbox if the proper URL or Data Layer conditions are met. While you can leave your targeting blank and run this mbox on every page of your site, globally, using the targeting in T&T to filter out when to fire you campaign, extra mbox calls accrue a cost both financially as well as for your overall page load performance, even if slight. Using this targeting you can deliver your mbox only where it will be used and thus save on cost. This is a very important step in optimizing your optimization efforts.
4.1 First off, click the "+ Add Condition" link to create a new targeting condition which will appear at the bottom of the "Targeting" container.
4.2 Check the checkbox at the top left of your new condition to set it as active. Any conditions without their checkbox checked will not be compiled into the final, combined targeting logic.
4.3 You can build your condition around data stored either in your current URL or by your predefined Data Library so select appropriately.
4.4 Based on your selection, the next select box will populate with corresponding sub options. Make your next selection and continue.
4.5 Now choose an operator or evaluator for your condition in the third select box and continue.
4.6 And finally, enter the final, conditional values upon which your new targeting condition will evaluate as "true". For example, if you've selected "URL" and "Host" "equals" with the value of "www.mysite.com", your "Global Mbox" will only be created on the pages of "www.mysite.com". Or if you have selected "Data Library" and "Language" "equals" with the value of "en", your "Global Mbox" will only be created for visitors that have their browser language set to English.
NOTE: If you do not have a Data Library predefined and delivered on your current page already, you will be shown a custom form field to enter any data element name you wish, assuming you'll be setting up that data element into your Data Library later. If the data element that you have manually entered does not yet exist when your new mbox rule is deployed and running live on your site, the data element will evaluate as a "" blank string value within your condition logic.
You may also enter multiple values within the value form field as a multi-line value, entering each value variation one by one on each line of the form field. These value variations will evaluate as "OR" as in "this or that or that" and so on for as many values as you enter. This way you can set up multiple variations of your condition to save on time. Using the URL example above, you could have entered "URL" "Path" "equals" "/landingpage.html" "OR" "/landingAlternate.html". As long as your visitor lands on one of those pages, your mbox will be created.
4.7 If you wish to add another condition, simply click the "+ Add Condition" link again and repeat the steps above.
5. Next, select whether you'd like to use the same name for your "Global Mbox" on every page or whether you'd prefer its name to be generated dynamically, to which there are some additional advantages. If you have opted to use the "Same Mbox Name, Globally", a "Global Mbox" with the name you've entered above will be created on every page that meets your targeting criteria. Often, however, this results in mboxes being created on pages where you will not immediately be using them for your Optimization Campaign. As mentioned above, extra mbox calls accrue a cost both financially as well as for your overall page load performance, even if slight, so while the static-named global mbox is easy enough to set up and has its uses such as for global site redesign testing or engagement tracking through T&T, you'll find even greater cost savings by selecting to create a "Dynamically Generated Name" for your "Global Mbox".
The "Dynamically Generated Name" mbox will compile together your "Global Mbox" name on each page based on the URL and some configuration options which will appear in a container as soon as you make that selection.
5.1 First, you'll have the option to enter a "Global Prefix" which just means a namespacing or identifier that will precede all the mboxes being dynamically generated. For instance, if you entered "MWS:" to identify "Global Mbox" names dynamically generated on "MyWebSite.com", all the mbox names for this "Global Mbox" will begin with "MWS:" first. This will help organize all your dynamically generated mboxes in T&T.
5.2 Next, regarding filtering out website domains, select whether you'd like to "Exclude" domains as in a blacklist approach or "Include" domains using a whitelist approach. Then enter all the website domain host values, comma-separated, in the next field. This is an extra level of targeting that will keep your costs down and will only dynamically generate a "Global Mbox" on the specific domains where you will be running tests.
5.3 Next you have the option to include a comma-separated lists of any folders within you site that, should they exist in your URL at the time, a "Global Mbox" will not be created. In this way, you can refrain from creating a "Global Mbox" on entire sections of your site. For example, if you entered "support,contact" the "Global Mbox" would not be created for any pages within your Support section or Contact section of your website, assuming that those folder names appear in the URL for those sections.
5.4 And finally, you can enter a comma-separated list of any special folders that, should they appear in the URL of the page being loaded, not only will a "Global Mbox" be created, but its dynamically-generated name will leverage the name of your special folder. For instance, if you entered "cart" then on every cart page that is in the "/cart/" folder of your site, no matter how many folder levels deep in your URL, an mbox will be created and use the value "cart" within the "Global Mbox" name.
5.5 In most cases this is all that needs to be done and the "Standard" implmentation can remain selected. However, there is also an "Advanced" feature that is hidden until the "Advanced" option has been selected. The "Global Mbox" uses your previously entered "Global Prefix", the hostname of the domain, and the name of the first folder name of your website subfolders that appear in the URL. This is intended to create a "Global Mbox" with a different name for each of your top-level directories of your site, yet keep the name consistent within that entire directory subsection. Having a section-named "Global Mbox" allows you to deactivate entire site sections in T&T that you will not need to be testing and therefore save on cost, while creating the mbox on sections where testing will be in progress without having to fundamentally re-configure your "Global Mbox" settings with each change. However, some website server-side frameworks will prepend your directories with their own special folders that never change across all sections, and therefore they do not truly represent your top-level directories. This is especially common for E-Commerce platforms where something akin to "/estore/" is always the first folder of every URL past the home page. Once you've selected the "Advanced" implementation, you'll be given the opportunity to trim off certain folders from your URL from being counted, and begin your dynamic name generation on the true top level directory, whether that's the 2nd folder deep up or further on up to the 4th folder level in.
5.6 After that, you'll notice a textbox with the current URL displayed within and a "Test Name" button below it. If you click the "Test Name" button, you'll be able to get a preview of what such a dynamically generated name would look like using your current configuration settings on the current page that you're on. To see what name would be generated on other pages, simply change the URL in the textbox and click "Test Name" again. Use this feature to get a good feel for the types of names that would be generated throughout your website and tweak your configuration options according to your needs.
6. Setting up "Mbox Parameters" is optional, but a great way to build user profiles and power targeting in T&T. If you choose to send in extra targeting or profile data into T&T via your mbox, click the "Mbox Parameters" button to expand its contents.
6.1 First off, click the "+ Add Parameter" link to create a new mbox parameter which will appear at the bottom of the "Targeting" container.
6.2 Check the checkbox at the top left of your new condition to set it as active. Any conditions without their checkbox checked will not be sent into your mbox request.
6.3 Enter a name for your parameter. Keep it as semantically meaningful as possible as you may be using this for targeting in T&T and will need to understand what it refers to. In addition, if you intend to send this data into T&T to build a user persistent profile, enter "profile." at the start of your parameter name.
6.4 Next, select the data element whose value you'd like to map into your new mbox parameter. You'll notice as make your selections that you'll see a preview of your parameter name=value pair at the bottom of your parameter container that represents the data that will be sent into your mbox request. At the bottom of your select box there are three special options, *Custom*, *All Data*, and *All Profiled*.
- *Custom* - allows you to manually enter in a custom value for your parameter without using your Data Library.
- *All Data* - compiles all the Data Library data elements that exist on your page and sends the entire parameterized string into your mbox request.
- *All Profiled* - does the same thing as *All Data*, but prepends the "profile." syntax before each data element of your Data Library to build a persistent user profile in T&T out of your entire Data Library on each page that your mbox will be created.
If you do not have a Data Library predefined and delivered on your current page already, you will be shown the *Custom* form field to enter any value of your choosing. If your custom value is wrapped in "" quotes as in "purchase", it will be sent in as is, hardcoded into your parameter value as in "profile.step=purchase". If you do not use "" quotes, you can enter custom Javascript and map your parameter value to any Javascript variable or object. Be sure to confirm your Javascript entry by checking the parameter preview at the bottom of your parameter container as it will immediately evaluate and inform you of an "error" if your entry is invalid.
6.5 If you wish to add another mbox parameter, simply click the "+ Add Parameter" link again and repeat the steps above.
7. Once you've configured all your targeting, naming, and parameter options, you're ready to create your new "Global Mbox" rule within Ensighten Manage. Click the "Create Rule" button at the bottom. Once clicked, every item that has been check-boxed will be added and compiled into your mbox rule. So long as you are currently logged into Ensighten Manage, your mbox rule will be posted directly into your account as a new custom rule, ready to be configured and approved for deployment. If you do not see the "Rule created successfully" message, please log into Manage in a new tab or different browser and try again to ensure your rule becomes created.

The Lorax (also known as Dr. Seuss' The Lorax) is a 2012 American 3D computer-animated musical fantasy comedy-drama film produced by Illumination Entertainment and based on Dr. Seuss's 1971 children's book of the same name. The third feature film from Illumination, it is the second film adaptation of the book, following the 1972 animated television special, and builds upon the book by expanding the story of Ted, the previously unnamed boy, who visits the Once-ler. The film's voice cast includes Danny DeVito as the Lorax, Ed Helms as the Once-ler, and Zac Efron as Ted; new characters introduced in the film are Audrey (voiced by Taylor Swift), Aloysius O'Hare (Rob Riggle), Mrs. Wiggins, Ted's mother (Jenny Slate), and Grammy Norma (Betty White).
The film was released by Universal Pictures on March 2, 2012, the 108th birthday of Dr. Seuss. It received mixed reviews from critics but was a box office success, grossing over $348.8 million worldwide against its $70 million budget.
Ted Wiggins is an idealistic boy, who lives in Thneedville, a walled city that, aside from the human citizens, is completely artificial; everything is made of plastic, metal, or synthetics with no living plants. Ted has a crush on local environmentalist Audrey, who wants to see a "real tree" more than anything in the world, and decides to find one in order to impress her. His energetic Grammy Norma secretly tells Ted the legend of the Once-ler, who will tell anyone about trees if they brought him fifteen cents, a nail, and a shell of a great-great-great grandfather snail. When Ted leaves Thneedville in search of the Once-ler, he discovers that the outside world is a contaminated, empty, barren wasteland. Once the boy finds him, the Once-ler agrees to tell Ted about the trees on the condition that he listens to the story over multiple visits. Ted agrees, but on his way home, he encounters the mayor of Thneedville, Aloysius O'Hare, who is also the proprietor of a company that sells bottled oxygen to Thneedville residents. O'Hare explains to Ted that because trees produce oxygen free of charge, he considers it a threat to his business whenever he hears people talking about them. After revealing that he has "security camera eyes" all over the city, O'Hare pressures Ted to stay in town. However, Ted continues to sneak out of O'Hare's sight (with his grandmother's encouragement) and learns more of the trees' history.
Over Ted's various visits, the Once-ler recounts the story that when he was a young man, he departed his family to find good material for his Thneed invention and make a business. The Once-ler meets the guardian of the forest, the Lorax, after cutting down a Truffula tree in a lush Truffula tree forest valley. The Lorax urges the Once-ler to leave the forest, but the Once-ler refuses. Eventually, the Once-ler promises not to chop another tree down, and the two seem to begin a friendship of sorts. Then, the young businessman's Thneed invention becomes a major success and the Once-ler's family arrives to participate in the business. At first keeping his promise, the Once-ler continues Thneed production by harvesting the Truffula tree tufts in a slow, but sustainable manner. However, his greedy and lazy relatives soon convince him to resume chopping down the trees. Over time, the Once-ler's deforestation spirals into a mass overproduction. Flushed with wealth, the Once-ler rationalizes his short-sighted needs into arrogant self-righteousness, and the Lorax's helpless protests do not stop him. The Once-ler pollutes the sky, river, and landscape, until the very last Truffula Tree falls. With no further chance of business, he is left broken and abandoned by his family, with his mother disowning him, and with the region uninhabitable because of his business's pollution, the Lorax sends the animals off to find a new place to live before the Once-Ler helps him depart into the sky, leaving only a stone-cut word: "Unless". Distraught and ruined, the Once-ler becomes a recluse.
After he finishes telling his story, the Once-ler finally understands the meaning behind the Lorax's last message, and gives Ted the last Truffula seed in hopes that he can plant it and make others care about real trees once more. Ted's desire to impress Audrey also becomes a personal mission to remind his town of the importance of nature. O'Hare, still determined not to have trees undermine his business, takes heavy-handed steps such as covering Audrey's nature paintings, closing off the door that Ted uses to see the Once-ler, and forcibly searching Ted's room for the seed (which has begun to grow after having some water from Ted's falling bottle after he close his room's door to see O'Hare). Ted enlists his family and Audrey to help plant the seed, which has begun to germinate after water was accidentally spilled on it. O'Hare and his employees pursue the dissidents until they manage to elude him and reach the town center. When Ted finally attempts to plant the seed, he is interrupted by O'Hare, who rallies the population to stop them by telling the people that trees are dangerous and filthy. To convince them otherwise, Ted takes an earthmover and rams down a section of the city wall to reveal the environmental destruction outside, thereby showing them what O'Hare is encouraging. Horrified at the sight and inspired by Ted's conviction (as though a part of the Lorax is within him), the crowd turns against O'Hare when they discover his true nature, with his own henchmen expelling him from the town with his jet pack-like helmet, and the seed is finally planted. Time passes and the land starts to recover; new trees sprout, the animals begin to return, and the redeemed, now-mustached Once-ler happily reunites with the Lorax.
Voice cast
- Danny DeVito as the Lorax
- Ed Helms as the Once-ler. Neither the book nor the TV special reveal the Once-ler's face, but instead throughout the book, the Once-ler is pictured by what appear to be green arms and yellow eyes. The filmmakers used that as the basis for the Once-ler's character design. They interpreted the Once-ler as a human, and also featured his green gloves and showed his face for the first time in this film.

The film is the fourth feature film based on a book by Dr. Seuss, the second fully computer-animated adaptation (the first one being Horton Hears a Who!), and the first to be released in 3-D. The Lorax was also Illumination's first film presented in IMAX 3D (known as "IMAX Tree-D" in publicity for the film). The idea for the film was initiated by Audrey Geisel, Dr. Seuss' wife, who had an established partnership with Chris Meledandri, the producer of the film, from a collaboration on Horton Hears a Who!. Geisel approached Meledandri when he launched Illumination Entertainment, saying "This is the one I want to do next". The film was officially announced in July 2009, with Meledandri attached as the producer and Geisel as the executive producer. Chris Renaud and Kyle Balda were announced as the director and co-director of the film, while Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio, the duo who wrote the script for Horton Hears a Who!, were set to write the screenplay. In 2010, it was announced that Danny DeVito would be voicing the titular character.
The film was fully produced at the French studio "Illumination Mac Guff", which was the animation department of Mac Guff which was acquired by Illumination Entertainment in the summer of 2011. DeVito reprised his role in five different languages, including the original English audio, and also for the Spanish, Italian, German, and Russian language dub editions. Universal added an environmental message to the film's website after a fourth-grade class in Brookline, Massachusetts launched a successful petition through Change.org.
The film was released on March 2, 2012 in the United States and Canada and was released in the United Kingdom on July 27, 2012, the same day that Universal Animation Studios' Plucky Chicken hit theaters in the US.
Marketing controversy
Mazda used the likeness of The Lorax's setting and characters in an advertisement for their CX-5 SUV. This was seen by some as the complete opposite of the work's original meaning. In response, Stephanie Sperber, president of Universal partnerships and licensing, said Universal chose to partner with the Mazda CX-5 because it is "a really good choice for consumers to make who may not have the luxury or the money to buy electric or buy hybrid. It's a way to take the better environmental choice to everyone.
The film has also been used to sell Seventh Generation disposable diapers. In total, Illumination Entertainment struck more than 70 different product integration deals for the film.
Home media
The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on August 7, 2012.
Three mini-movies were released on the Lorax Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack on August 7, 2012: Serenade, Wagon Ho!, and Forces of Nature.
Video game
Blockdot created a mobile puzzle game based on the film, titled Truffula Shuffula. The game was released on February 1, 2012, for iOS and Android platforms.
Critical response
The film earned a rating of 53% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 148 reviews and an average rating of 5.9/10, with the critical consensus saying, "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is cute and funny enough, but the moral simplicity of the book gets lost with the zany Hollywood production values." It also has a score of 46 on Metacritic based on 30 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
New York magazine film critic David Edelstein on NPR's All Things Considered strongly objected to the movie, arguing that the Hollywood animation and writing formulas washed out the spirit of the book. "This kind of studio 3-D feature animation is all wrong for the material," he wrote. Demonstrating how the book's text was used in the movie in this excerpt from the review, Edelstein discusses Audrey describing the truffula trees to Ted:
- "the touch of their tufts was much softer than silk and they had the sweet smell of fresh butterfly milk – and [in the movie] Ted says, "Wow, what does that even mean?" and Audrey says, "I know, right?" So one of the only lines that is from the book, that does have Dr. Seuss' sublime whimsy, is basically made fun of, or at least, dragged down to Earth."
Lou Dobbs, the host of Lou Dobbs Tonight on the Fox Business Network, has criticized the film as being "insidious nonsense from Hollywood", and accused Hollywood of "trying to indoctrinate children". The film also garnered some positive reviews from critics such as Richard Roeper, who called it a "solid piece of family entertainment". Roger Moore of the Pittsburgh Tribune called the film "a feast of bright, Seuss colors, and wonderful Seuss design", and supported its environmentalist message.
Box office
The film has grossed $214 million in North America, and $134.8 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of $348.8 million.
The film topped the North American box office with $17.5 million on its opening day (Friday, March 2, 2012). During the weekend, it grossed $70.2 million, easily beating the other new nationwide release, Project X ($21 million), and all other films. This was the biggest opening for an Illumination Entertainment film and for a feature film adaptation of a book by Dr. Seuss, as well as the second-largest for an environmentalist film. It also scored the third-best debut for a film opening in March, and the eighth-best of all time for an animated film. The Lorax stayed at #1 the following weekend, dropping 45% to $38.8 million and beating all new nationwide releases, including Disney's John Carter (second place). On April 11, 2012, it became the first animated film in nearly a year to gross more than $200 million in North America, since Walt Disney Animation Studios' Tangled.

Norah Spie The Perfect Mindset
I spent two weeks in Dar-Es-Salaam end of last year. It was a very interesting time for me as I had to quickly learn about their media policies, culture and the dynamics in their diverse society so I could work on a media strategy I had been hired to do.
Tanzania was one of the few African countries I had not been to so I was excited about the trip. I had not anticipated the language barrier that I faced as I had assumed they all spoke some English. One evening at a seaside restaurant, I asked the waiter for a receipt and he said, "Oh you want the Magufuli receipt".
At first I thought he has misunderstood. Why would he call a simple dinner receipt a 'Magufuli receipt'? When the restaurant manager who happened to be Zimbabwean came to check if I had been happy with service, we were both happy to have a 'Shona moment'.
I then asked him why the waiter called it a 'Magufuli receipt'. He explained that Tanzania had recently introduced a fiscal policy and every outlet needed to use a fiscal cash register and issue a fiscal receipt which was now affectionately referred to as the 'Magufuli receipt'.
This is one of the many changes that the Tanzanian President, John Pombe Joseph Magufuli implemented upon taking the country's highest office. What amazed me was that they considered it 'his' system opposed to just a 'new system'.
I got curious and made it a point to find out more about his policy changes since taking power in October 2015. What was so different about this particular President? A seemingly simple guy from Chato, a district from North-western Tanzania, Magufuli is loved by majority of his people, especially the rural folks.
He was a cabinet minister since 1995, in charge of various portfolios. I understand it is during this time that he devoted his energy to fighting corruption. From the very first day he took office as President, he started an anti-corruption drive.
His intolerance to corruption, litter and mismanagement earned him the nickname 'The Bulldozer'.
One of the first things he did was to cancel Independence Day celebrations which were often marked by big spending by top government officials and in its place, declared the day should be spent on street-cleaning to improve sanitation. He was seen joining citizens in the cleaning exercise.
Due to overcrowding and excess litter plus the humid weather, a city like Dar Es Salaam is prone to cholera, typhoid outbreaks as well as other waterborne diseases and of course malaria. There is no mosquito that is as determined to blood suck as those found in Tanzania!
The Bulldozer also reduced by 90%, the budget of the state dinner that usually marks the opening of parliament and ordered the money saved to be used in hospitals and roadworks across Tanzania.
He did not stop there! He also cancelled foreign travel for officials and banned the purchase of first-class air tickets. I understand his security team battled to convince him that the President, deputy President and the Prime Minister needed to remain in first class.
He was just getting started and these moves increased his popularity among the masses and created enemies with some of his fellow party and government colleagues who were accustomed to over spending. Hold on, do not day dream…
Magufuli continued on his 'no nonsense' approach and ordered that all government meetings and workshops be held in government buildings rather than expensive hotels. He even went as far as reducing a delegation of 50 people set to tour Commonwealth countries to just four!
My personal favourite was when he merged ministries and got rid of 11 of them in a bid to have a thinner and more effective cabinet. Just when I was getting to really like this guy, I learnt from media colleagues that on the flip side, he had put journalists in a corner.
He felt media had caused unnecessary conflict during the campaign period of the 2015 general elections. He wanted to 'deal' with them. I wonder if received that advice from his friend T.B Joshua? The coolest move was when he visited the finance ministry and caught a lot of the workers slumbering. What would Magufuli do? This is the question every Tanzanian either jokes about or actually considers before taking any action.
His approval ratings are at a high of 96%. Sceptics had predicted that he would fall on the wayside but he seems to continue with his mission to straighten out Tanzania.
Hold on before we totally get excited, does Magufuli have a split personality? Or does he just have a deep distaste for media? Over 10 people have so far been arrested for insulting The Bulldozer on social media. A number of radio stations have been shut down since he took over. He also banned live broadcast of parliament sessions which the Tanzanians used to enjoy and no more street protests, if you want something to do, pick litter!
Is he taking two steps forwards and one step back? The feeling I got during my 2 weeks in Tanzania was that the locals themselves did not really complain too much about the clampdown on media but it was more of the international community. The locals did acknowledge hostility towards media but they appreciated his efforts in getting Tanzania back on the tracks again. They feel the real bread and butter issues are being addressed.
The Bulldozer was nominated for the Forbes African of the Year 2016 so some parts of the international community appreciate his efforts. We continue to follow his bulldozing missions and a better and improved Tanzania is good for us all!

This is the technical description of a DBT Translation table. If you want more general information about languages and template choices, please see the list of templates.
Initially, the language table for braille translation is determined by the selected template, and may be changed using the Document / Translation Tables menu. Using those menus does not require use of the table designator. However, to switch to a different translation table partway through a file, one must enter a DBT code and the designator for the table to switch to. For switching secondary languages within a base language table, see the [lng~X] command. For switching from one base language to another, see the [lnb~...] command.
Moon is a system of tactile writing wherein the raised characters mostly resemble the print characters for which they stand, thereby making the system especially easy to learn for people who become blind late in life. It was invented by Dr. William Moon in 1845. Although it is not a form of braille, Moon can be used as a stepping-stone to the learning of braille. A new "Moon Literacy" web site was launch early in 2006 - http://moonliteracy.org.uk/. The RNIB web site at http://www.rnib.org.uk is also a source of information about the Moon system.
The English Moon tables support print-to-Moon translation for three English literary grades (grade two, which is the default, grade one, and grade "one-half" [fully spelled]).
Braille-to-print translation is supported for this language. However, braille-to-print translation may not be perfect, therefore beware that errors can occur. If you find errors or have suggestions, please send both the *.dxb and *.dxp files along with an explanation to: email@example.com. Please be sure to include sample files!
An Enabling Technologies embosser with "Moon mode" setting, or equivalent, must be used to emboss the output. Make sure that the page dimensions (under Global/Embosser) have been set appropriately -- e.g. 22 characters per line, 21 lines per page would be typical for a Juliet embosser with paper 13 inches in depth and 10-3/4 inches in width (excluding the tractor-feed border).
The print file can be prepared in any of the standard ways, e.g. by direct keying or by importing from a word processor file, and also may be viewed and edited normally in DBT. However, the translated output cannot, at this writing (August 2000), be viewed naturally (i.e.in a Moon font) within DBT. Generally, when viewing that Moon output (which is labelled as "braille"), the most sensible viewing option is to select the "print font" under the "View" menu. The print characters stand one-for-one with Moon characters, and mostly have a mnemonic relationship to them even if they are not always shaped similarly. You may edit this Moon file, save it to a .DXB or .BRF file, emboss to a suitably set embosser, etc., just as you would a regular braille file.
Capital letters are usually not indicated as such in Moon, and so the [caplv1] code should be used except in exceptional circumstances, as explained in the Moon Transcribers Instruction Manual, section 3.4. when those exceptional circumstances pertain and capitals are to be indicated in Moon, the user should prepare the input file so that only those initial capitals that are to be indicated are actually uppercase, and either no [caplv...] command should be given or equivalently [caplv3] should be used. (Usually any [caplv...] code is automatically supplied in the "initial" style of a suitable template, so it is just a matter of picking the right template.)
True Moon-to-print translation is not supported. This means that it is not generally useful to translate the Moon output to print. It also means that the "translated line" will typically contain gibberish when viewing the Moon file -- you may prefer to turn off the "translated line" under the View menu, or even under Global/Default if you wish it to be off by default.
No secondary languages are supported.
No technical codes are supported.
The following DBT translation codes are available when using the English/Moon table.Any other translation codes used will be ignored, or indeed may cause unexpected results.If using an alternative translation table, i.e.when switching to another base language table by means of the [lnb~...] code, please refer to the relevant topic and available codes for that table.
[/] may be embedded within letter-groups that would normally be contracted, to prevent the contraction.
[ab] is equivalent to [g2]
[caplv1] starts suppressing the indication of capital letters.
[caplv3] restores the indication of capital letters. This is the default mode for this table, in order to be consistent with the other English tables, i.e.those for braille. However, see the paragraph on capitals under "Special Requirements and Limitations" above.
[g1] switches to "grade 1" Moon, as defined in the Transcribers Instruction Manual. (Note that some contractions, such as "and," are used even in grade 1.)
[g2] switches to "grade 2" Moon (the normal mode), where all contractions are used.
[g0.5] switches to "grade one-half," where all words are fully spelled out. (Note that the character after the letter "g" is the digit zero.)
[in] is equivalent to [g1]
[lnb~...] (for switching to another base [primary] language table) (Note that when translating to Moon, table switching would generally be useful only from one Moon table to another [i.e.not from a Moon to a braille table, nor vice versa], and as of July 2010, this English/Moon table is the only one defined in DBT.)
[vrn~rq] causes outer and inner quotes to be understood according to the reverse of the normal convention. The normal convention, since April 2004, is that the double print quote (") stands for an outer quote and an accent-grave (`) stands for an inner quote, as has always been customary in the English braille tables. Prior to April 2004 the convention for the English Moon table was the reverse of that, and so this "variation" code is provided as an easy way to tag older files so that they will be treated the same as they were formerly.
[vrn] restores the normal convention for outer and inner quotes.
The table is designed to work with the following groups of characters:
All ASCII printable characters
Note that some ASCII characters do not have a defined Moon equivalent; the output for those is arbitrary.
These tables are based upon the "Moon Transcribers Instruction Manual" (April 1996), written and used by the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB). They were originally developed in May 1999 by Duxbury Systems, Inc., with the guidance and assistance of RNIB and Enabling Technologies.
(Documentation reviewed: July 2010.)

Summer House Recap: Toilet Talk
Hey Trash Bags!
Alright, so when we last left our pals in the Hamptons, Lauren had just kicked a girl out of the way and shoved an entire sheet cake in Carl's face…only to then try to make out with her cake-faced "friend."
I'd hate to be an enabler, so I think Lauren should lay off the rose. However, the girl needs to chug Fireball straight from the bottle every weekend that this show is filmed. Is that bad? Don't care. I need it.
Carl washes off his cake face in the pool, which slightly irritated me. I mean, was there not a hose nearby, or the kitchen sink? Then again, let's be honest, that pool is clearly contaminated with far worse than some of Betty Crocker's finest. As he is doing that, Lauren is bouncing around in her "Let's Get Twisted" bathing suit, and proceeds to flash the party. At this point, I put two and two together and realized that they have all been pounding those tall boys of Twisted Tea in every episode. I assume they are some sort of sponsor or have a deal…so I'm sure they LOVED that!
Everyone at this party is beyond shitfaced, except for possibly the snoozfest known as Amit. He is up on the balcony hitting on a couple of girls who tell him he looks like a lesbian with a beard. Sign them up for next season!
I am so happy that Summer House is hitting it's stride in episode three, when the L's take it to the next level. Out of the blue, Lindsay begins to get a little emo over Everett. Well, I guess it's not totally out of the blue, since she hasn't shut up about him, and she's been pounding booze all day, and is not being pounded by Amit.
Anyway, she is upstairs having a bit of a heart to heart with Carl (of all people) when Lauren the lush comes tumbling into the room. She is beyond wasted and laughing, and Lindsay gets a little peeved because she was pouring her heart out about her war hero ex-boyfriend…as one does.
Lindsay makes a comment as she leaves the room that it was a little rude of Lauren to interrupt their convo. This is where Lauren flies off the handle. There is a lot of back and forth bickering about Carl and about each of them being selfish. I really was trying to follow for you people, but they were filming a wall and it was hard to keep up. Why were the camera people not in on the action you ask? Lindsay is on the toilet peeing as this fight has continued into the bathroom.
This fight continues on, and Lauren will not let us forget that Lindsay was on the toilet. She says it…hmm…12 billion times? Lindsay is confused as to what Lauren is talking about and why they are fighting, and Lauren continues to scream at her, "YOU JUST SAT ON THE TOILET AND SAID….!" I've never loved a scene so much.
During the fight Danielle begins to make her way upstairs, but I guess she decides against it. Thank God. She makes a hilarious joke that yelling ensues when you are on the Carl Coaster. Umm…please don't steal Bethenny's jokes. They typically aren't funny when she says them, soooooo, don't try Danielle. Thanks.
It's about 1:30 AM now and the party is winding down, but not before Lindsay mutters that Lauren is a psycho bitch. Actually, it might have been vice versa, but who cares? Kyle is barely alive on the couch mowing down a bag of chips, and Amanda tries to get him to bed. She's a trooper.
Cut to around 5:30 AM and although she smashed an entire cake in his face and screamed at Lindsay, Lauren and Carl decide to hop in the Jacuzzi. Guys, there has been a lot of cocaine (pasta) talk lately on Bravo. All I will say is that if you are pounding margs at the tiki bar all day, drinking rose, and swigging Fireball straight from the bottle in the 4th of July sun, it's pretty difficult to stay up all night until almost 8 AM. You guys do the math.
They proceed to get into bed together and Carl tells Lauren that she is his girl. Excuse me while I go vomit.
The next morning everyone is cleaning up, and they discover that Lauren and Carl are still in bed. They are irritated, but not shocked. Amit denies making out with Lindsay, and I need him off this show. He bores me.
They all go on a boat ride later that day, but must be split into two boats. Come on guys. There are only 8 of you. Carl and Kyle moon each other like the idiots that they are, and it's pretty uneventful.
Once they get to the beach, Lauren and Lindsay decide to have a chat near the water and squash their beef. Well, that's pretty difficult when Lauren won't let you get a word in. There is a lot of Lindsay asking Lauren to stop interrupting her, and Lauren calling Lindsay defensive and that she's playing the victim. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm so Team Lindz. I also realized that it is very difficult to tell you about the arguments between these two, because they are both motor mouths and I really just love to sit back and watch.
The gang starts to get annoyed with their squawking and Carl tries to get them all together. This pisses Stephen off, of course, and they all end up leaving the beach. Oh yeah, Amit states that if this was Survivor, he'd want to be the first kicked off the island. Don't worry buddy. I see that in your future.
They all go back to New York after the holiday, and I don't care. The only thing that we learn is that Danielle lives in Brooklyn and she did some computer job, but was recently laid off. Also, Kyle is starting up, yet another, app and is looking for financing from some guy he met a while ago and ended up naked on his couch. Umm…whatever.
It's Friday again so they are back in the house and Amit and Carl arrive first. Amit relates them to the cartoon characters Pepe Le Pew and the Tasmanian Devil. I don't get it. Can he please leave? If we are comparing ourselves to cartoon characters in our 30's, I'd say more like Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
There are a ton of Amazon Prime boxes for Stephen and Carl makes some snide comment about them. It's official. Stephen hates Carl.
They decide to go out to some bar and find some peeps to hit on. Lindsay is pretty unlucky, but, Amit brings home several girls back to the house, early. Uh, okay. The entire cast is at the bar. I can't with him. No one wants to see you not get any action back at the house.
Of course, Kyle gets blackout drunk and Amanda is upset. She is completely embarrassed by him, and honestly, they should just break up.
With all the drama going on, Danielle has planned some clam hunting. Obvi, Stephen wants nothing to do with clams. Lauren and Lindsay have yet another convo where nothing goes anywhere. Unfortunately, for me, Lindsay has turned over a new leaf and let's it go. They all have a nice time eating lobster and clams with some native tribe that busts out a drum and sings one of the worst songs I've ever heard. It did look fun though! They sing kumbaya and all is right in the Hamptons…until next weekend. DUN DUN DUN!!
Love you people!

Marshall Board Moves Forward With Albion Annexation
The Marshall Board of Education voted yes on moving forward with annexing the Albion Public School System, and now only a few more steps remain to finalize.
The Marshall Board voted unanimously on Monday to annex the Albion Public Schools, meaning that, if finalized, Albion schools would become absorbed by the Marshall School System.
Albion high school students already study in Marshall schools, and Albion students grades 6-8 will be joining them later this month.
Declining enrollment and a climbing deficit are the main reasons the Albion Board initiated the annexation process. To finalize annexation, the proposal has to be approved by the State Superintendent and Governor Snyder, before heading to Albion voters for final approval.
