Brailroom

He asked me to tell him which was the gents toilet which I of course did but the thought did arise ,should the restaurant have had a notice on the door in Braille to eliminate this problem.The two notices that were displayed for ladies and gents were the same size,no raised lettering and could not be distinguished between ladies or gents.Should the company have done more to help?
Thank you for your answers but as stated and I did run my finger across the sign and there was no way that you could tell what was printed on the sign,whether it was a male or female facility.

There should be a lot more accessable information, unfortunately, it probably takes too much time and money for companies to bother with it. Even well-raised lettering would be wonderful, at least that should be standard by now.

And while on the subject – web sites need to get rid of visual only captcha codes that block you out if you can’t see a picture to answer a question.

Hi i have old braille display Baum dm 80 /system 90 witch has two ports one is db25 male and the other one i don’t know.I have window eyes 7.0 screen reader witch supports this braille display but it is asking me on witch port is my braille display connected (it has com port 1-50,USB port and LPT 1-3 port).I also have db25F to usb cable.When i connect my braille display to computer using this cable there is some message on braille (which i do not understand naturally) and it does not work properly.So i was wondering does some one know how to configure this to work right?

You are trying to run it through the parallel port. Which is the LPT port.

1. The owner of a new restaurant in California had trouble getting customers to comply with the state’s smoking ban. The fine for a first violation is $100. A second violation carries a fine of $200, and third and subsequent violations cost $500 each. After a third violation within one year, a representative of California’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration is required to investigate complaints. Employers may be cited with fines up to $7,000 for violations classified as general or serious, and fines up to $70,000 for violations classified as willfully serious. . Last year, in the first year in operation, the bar owner had four violations, plus a violation for a serious offense that may or may not have been willful.
A. What are the minimum and maximum amounts that the owner would have paid in fines?

B. How do these government actions protect consumers?

2. A vitamin company, Pro Health (PH), was preparing to launch a new product called ProBio. It had produced 20,000 units of ProBio at a cost of $5 per unit, and packaged the product in bottles with labels that prominently displayed the ProBio name. At the last minute, PH learned that an established drug company already sells a product named ProBio. FDA regulations prohibit drugs with identical names from being sold on the market, with the penalty for noncompliance being full product recall. Rather than face product recall and all the attendant costs, PH decided to comply with the regulation voluntarily. As a result, the product had to be renamed and re-branded, the label had to be redesigned, remanufactured, and reapplied, and a new advertising campaign had to be formulated and launched. What were the likely outcomes of this decision, both monetary and non-monetary? What might have happened if the company had not voluntarily changed its product?

3. Joe’s Burrito Cart sits on a busy street corner. Customers line up to get Joe’s hot, fresh bean burritos filled with trimmings of their choice. In order to comply with regulations, Joe must keep his cart and utensils clean, advertise ingredients on a visible sign, supply napkins, paper plates, plastic utensils, and containers for customers, have a covering over the cart to protect food and food preparation areas, keep and frequently empty a trash can, and keep his hands covered with plastic gloves. What are the effects of these regulations, both monetary and non-monetary?

4. Under the American Disabilities Act’s Standards for Accessible Design, all ATMs must be equipped with Braille keypads to allow access to customers with visual impairment. In order to comply with this regulation, a community development bank with five branch offices needed to change the ATMs at each of its facilities. Each machine cost $15,000, for a total of $75,000 in compliance costs. Why should the bank be required to face these extra costs?

I used this resource for getting more customer to my business and it worked like a charm, in fact it works every single time I use it. The great thing is that I it’s sooo much easier to get business from existing clients. Very impactful! I put the link for you below.

So, let me start by saying this… I have owned MANY reptiles over MANY years, so I do know my genders and normal traits that reptiles display correlating to each separate breed. So, ‘breeders’ or people who think they know a lot about reptiles but have only owned one, know that I have my gender correct.

Secondly, here is a picture of them.

My female, kiwi, is the morph (though her colors aren’t very prominent). She is a little over a year and a half old. She has, to further prove her gender, no femur pores that can be seen, no bump on her under tail near the vent, and she has a more triangular head and thin tail.
My male, Kale, is the grey one. He is about 4 years old. I got him from a neglectful owner and he suffers from MBD, so he can be lethargic and limp most of the time. But his therapy has gone well, and he’s able to use his tongue again when eating and runs about now and again. He has two bumps on the underside of his tail and VERY prominent femur pores. it’s like reading Braille if you touch them. They are that prominent. he also has a bigger, rounder head, and his beard goes black, DEEP black when he runs around unlike the female who only goes dark when she’s scared.

Anyway, they have lived happily together in the same tank for…over half a year now. She was submissive at first, but once she realized he wasn’t an active lizard, she kind of took the dominant side. He knows the tank belongs to her, and when he gets to rowdy, she pins him down until he stops. (I keep an eye on it, don’t worry. If her full weights on him, I move her.)

However, recently, literally this weekend, drove with them from WA to Colorado where I am now living. Kiwi, my female, is now in a big territory thing. She wants to run around my room and see it all. Kale…eh, he’s lazy. He’ll go about if I take him out, but he’s not…really caring. But that’s normal for him. At one point, I had them both out, and Kale ran by Kiwi. She jumped on him, bit his neck, had her full weight on his back, and thrashed.

I separated them, scolded her, gave her a timeout (yes, I treat and spoil them like babies), and then let her back out to see if it would happen again and it didn’t. then I put them back in their tank.T hey were fine for a few hours, but they keep trying to pin each other down.

Then I hear kale dragging himself, look over, she’s literally riding on his back as he tries to get away, thrashing to tear at that protruding black spike on his neck. I am keeping them apart now because of it, but I think it’s a territorial thing.

I believe she’s going "It’s new, it’s mine, stay away from it."

And unfortunately, Kale isn’t that…bright…

Kiwi is trying to attack him through the glass right now, and he’s just sitting tall, head up, beard deep black. He isn’t a fighter or lover. Due to his illness, you can literally pick him up, and he’ll hang there. You don’t even have to support his feet.

Anyway… Do you think it’s just territorial, and do you think it will stop if I just let her go about and take claim for the next few days? The first two days here, we were fine. They even slept together in my bed and were alone and fine in their tank during the day…

I also think it’s dominance, because she pinned his head down earlier, crapped in front of him, then cleaned herself on his body… I think it’s a bit of a tiff…

Straight off the bat I would say dominance. Most female animals including reptiles, birds, mice and rabbits are extremely dominant and can be very aggressive towards males. Often they bite or tear their male genitals (ick!) but it is a dominance and an ‘I don’t want your babies’ kind of thing like human girls, think of it that way.
I’d suggest letting them fight it out a little if its not serious but if they start tearing or drawing blood separate them, some males and females work together, some don’t it depends on the personality and that of both genders

CAN YOU PLEASE HELP AND EXPLAIN SOME OF IT TO ME?=>

Okay, the "I like boobies" kid… you need to get down and study. These questions aren’t hard. If you come to Yahoo answers and someone does answer them just for a few points, then they’re helping you ruin your life. Open your book, look what the questions are asking for…economics is basic logic. Think of what your answers would be to these questions, and then put them on paper even if they look wrong. It will get your mind started on what you’re really looking for. These are not answers, just elaborating the questions a bit

1. They’re just about you about what would be the maximum that the restaurant owner would pay. In the first year, the restaurant had four (general) offences and 1 serious offence. They’ve given you the upper limits of how much the restaurant can be charged for committing a general violation (which is 7000) and for a serious violation it is 70000. You also know how much each violation costs…. so you can get your answer from there. As for Part B: by implementing these laws that keep businesses in check, governments are able to protect consumers.

2. The company takes the high road, and withdraws the product by itself. The costs of redesigning packaging marketing must have been expensive, but in the long run, the product would be able to gather its own goodwill, and it would have the advantage of not deceiving consumers into buying the label under false pretenses. It cost the company money in the short run but in the long run, the company will benefit… and if it hadn’t done this voluntarily, the FDA could have revoked the company’s trading license altogether.

3. They’re an expense on Joe, but they help maintain the reputation of his Burrito cart because people will know that they’ll get clean food when they buy from him.

4. Because a lot of customers are often disabled and since the disabilities act exist, customers can sue banks that do not have accessible ATMs.

Correct. In addition to VoiceOver, iOS 4 also offers *out-of-the-box* support for over
30 wireless braille displays and many other accessibility features, such as dynamic
screen magnification, playback of closed-captioned video, and white on black text.

I believe that "out-of-the-box" means the product as it is when you first remove it from the box, before any modifications have been made. Therefore, "out-of-the-box support" would probably refer to technical help (support) for the original, unchanged equipment.

-Outside of normal
-Something different basically or not usually seen or done.

So it offers different kind of services from normal or usual "support" or basically customer service, for whatever object it is you have, compared to other suppliers.

Good luck with your endeavors !
