Ortaokul Dergi AKANT MAGAZINE Our magazine is written by Akant Middle School students. July, 2019 I No: 01 21st Century Inventions Beril BOYACI - 7D Braille an Invaluable Tool Devised Braille was also a French invention. Louis Braille went blind at a very young age. He was later accepted to the French Royal Institute for Blind Youth where he began working on his now famous system. Braille said that he had been inspired by Charles Barbier’s "night writing". Braille's final system was first presented in 1829. A second revision was made later in 1837 which became the first small binary form of writing developed in modern times. Braille proved to be an invaluable tool for the visually impaired ever since. We can see some examples of this alphabet in the lifts. Apple I-pod In 2001, before Apple and Samsung started bombing the world with their superb smart phone devices of the last five or six years, there was the iPod, a small gadget that changed how we viewed and played music. To make a long story short, the MP3 was introduced to the world and CDs, which had previously replaced cassettes, which replaced vinyl records before them, joined them in the dusty archives of our music tech history. Google Glass YouTube Google Glass is a smart YouTube was first launched in eyewear that helps you get 2005 and since then, it has exactly what you want right in changed the lives of most front of your eyes, literally. It young people (and many displays information in a others) around the world. Let’s smart phone-like, hands-free be honest here, watching every format but the only large social and cultural change or even stupid trend from difference is that you wear it across the globe in an instant is one of the most exciting instead of holding it. Don’t get too excited, though, things about living in the twenty-first century. And yep, because it will cost you a small fortune to make it yours on YouTube is mainly to thank for this. top of the fact that Google announced it is stopping sales. Yağmur DOĞAN - 7D CLONING OF THE HUMANS Most of us make exact copies of our signature AUTOMATION when going for official signature purposes. But This is also a type of robotics the scientists have made possible the where in different factories that is impossible feat of copying humans. After a few especially used for assembling experiments and alterations with the genes, purposes. With the development the scientists have found out the way by which you can grow in robotics, automation is also new organs and even a complete new human. This can expected to be developed. This in turn will simply work in completely change the position of the medical system the favor of development of industries. making an age of 200 a genuine possibility. 1 Akant Ortaokulu THE HYDROGEN POWERED CARS This is something that the humans have designed which if brought into considerable use can completely change the statistics of pollution of the planet Earth. The cars have the ability to use hydrogen in the combustion chamber and leave just a puff of water vapour. But the main disadvantage of the vehicle is the fact that they might just be a lot costly for normal use. ROBOTICS This is something that the modern day scientists of the 21st Century have been working alone for long. According to the very latest results in various experiments, it has been proved that robots can be efficiently used in order to do certain stuffs that were previously done by men. This can have a great impact in the military section of a country. development in the area of Hyper-sonic transportation. Now you have planes and a train that travels very much equal to the speed of ANTI - GRAVITY light. With proper If we speak about the facts of classical physics, it is a truth that development of the magnetic monopolies cannot exist. But this is what the HYPERSONIC TRANSPORTATION technology, it is not far away when we will dangerous humans have made possible with the experiments The way we travel by aircraft has seriously be able to travel that they have conducted with the magnets. Many people see completely changed in this all the countries of the this as a prospect according to which one will not have to century. This is more due to the world in just 80 days. depend on wheels anymore. fact that there has been a prime NANOTECHNOLOGY Arguably this is the most fascinating advent in the field of technology. The subject deals with the extremely small microscopic particles which are so fine that they can be injected into the system and repairs can be done to the human organs. This feat is still far away from becoming a reality but the prospects are great. FREE ENERGY ARTIFICIAL Energy is literally the INTELLIGENCE main cause that puts Have you ever thought of up a lot of the fact that if your toy disturbances.

But it’s only contribution and purpose is to entertain and This is arguably one of the greatest achievements of the nothing more. So, don’t get overexcited! scientists. We have not only been able to unlock the information in the gene of the animals, at the same time we The Stethoscope also have merged the information and made new beings that are much better and stronger than their parents. The stethoscope changed the way doctors could diagnose disorders forever and is truly one of the greatest French inventions of all time which have saved innumerable lives. This humble lifesaver was devised by the French physician René Laennec in 1816.It would immediately become one of the most important non-invasive medical instruments in the doctors' kit. It works by using a small disc-shaped resonator to amplify the internal sounds of the patient. The Mongolfier Have you ever imagined what it would be like to float high Re-Walk above the ground?

MY BELOVED FRIEND AND COUNSELLOR HENRY J.

II. ILLINGWORTH AUTHOR 214648 PREFACE No up-to-date treatise on the important and interesting " " subject of The History of the Education of the Blind being in existence in this country, and the lack of such a text-book specially designed for the teachers in our blind schools being grievously felt, I have, in response to repeated requests, taken in hand the compilation of such a book from all sources at my command, adding at the same time sundry notes and comments of my own, which the experience of a quarter of a century in blind work has led me to think may be of service to those who desire to approach and carry on their work as teachers of the blind as well equipped with information specially suited to their requirements as circumstances will permit. It is but due to the juvenile blind in our schools that the men and women to whom their education is entrusted should not only be acquainted with the mechanical means of teaching through the tactile sense, but that they should also be so steeped in blind lore that it becomes second nature to them to think of and see things from the blind person's point of view.

His family had been saddlemakers for generations. At the age of three, he wounded an eye while playing with some tools in his father’s workshop. He turned out to be a lively, inquisitive child, characteristics which his family nurtured even after his blindness became permanent and total. After attending his village school, he entered the ROYAL INSTITUTION FOR THE YOUNG BLIND in Paris at the age of ten. This was housed in the former St. Firmin seminary at N° 68 rue St. Victor. These buildings, no longer standing, were located where N°° 2, 4 & 4 b rue des Écoles are now to be found. It was a cold, damp, uncomfortable, unhealthy place, ridden with tuberculosis, which Louis Braille was to die of.

It addresses issues relevant to present debates on the blind person’s right to equality of access to information, and the state’s responsibility to ensure this. Changing perceptions of blindness and blind people’s needs are traced through hitherto neglected primary sources, including institutional records, government reports, conference proceedings and journals. The legacies of individuals who invented reading systems and of institutions and associations that shaped attitudes and practice are evaluated.

  • Grade One Braille
    Braille Basics History of Braille Developed by Louis Braille 1809—Born near Paris, France 1813—Lost his vision 1819—Attended Parisian blind school 1821—Charles Barbier introduced 12-dot “Night Writing” 1827—First Braille book published Braille Overview Uncontracted (formerly Grade One) Braille consists of the 26-letter alphabet, numbers, and punctuation. Contracted (formerly Grade Two) Braille adds 189 contractions and short-form words. Braille Cell All Braille characters are based on six dots called a Braille cell. A through J The first 10 letters of the alphabet are made using the top four dots in the Braille cell (dots 1-2-4-5). K through T The next 10 letters of the alphabet are made by adding dot three to the first 10 letters. U through Z The last six letters of the alphabet are created by adding dot 6. What happened to “W”? It was added later and does not quite fit the pattern. Braille Alphabet That’s nice, but… How do we remember the alphabet? Braille and Print You already know the print alphabet, and the Braille letters look like the print letters. Let’s connect the dots! Standard Braille Alphabet Connect the Dots Numbers Braille uses a special sign (dots 3-4-5-6) to show that what follows is a number. Logically, this sign is called…the number sign! Letters to Numbers Braille uses the first 10 letters of the alphabet, preceded by the number sign, to stand for the single-digit numbers. “a” is 1, “b” is 2, “c” is 3, etc. through “j,” which is 0 Numbers in Literary Braille 1 = ⠼⠁ 6 = ⠼⠋ 2 = ⠼⠃ 7 = ⠼⠛ 3 = ⠼⠉ 8 = ⠼⠓ 4 = ⠼⠙ 9 = ⠼⠊ 5 = ⠼⠑ 0 = ⠼⠚ Multidigit Numbers 12 = ⠼⠁⠃ 63 = ⠼⠋⠉ 25 = ⠼⠃⠑ 74 = ⠼⠛⠙ 30 = ⠼⠉⠚ 87 = ⠼⠓⠛ 46 = ⠼⠙⠋ 99 = ⠼⠊⠊ 51 = ⠼⠑⠁ 101 = ⠼⠁⠚⠁ More Information Braille references BANA www.brailleauthority.org.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction, Statement of the Problem
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION, STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM, AND AIM OF THE STUDY 1.1 INTRODUCTION The processes of reading and writing, two of the four language arts along with listening and speaking, are integral features of the lives of many people. While reading and writing are often used as leisure activities, they also play an important role in determining the level of success. "Today, more than ever, those with the ability to communicate through reading and writing have the key that opens doors of employment, recreation, and enlightenment” (Holbrook, Koenig, & Smith 1996:1). Before the invention of the printing press by Gutenberg in the fifteenth century, books were in short supply, as they had to be written manually by monks. Moreover, the cost of books was prohibitive, with the result that only the wealthy could afford to buy and read them. This privileged group included the clergy and certain members of the nobility (Humphrey & Humphrey 1990:31). With the proliferation of printing houses and the production of books, magazines, journals and newspapers on a large scale, anyone who can read has the opportunity to do so. Even if books and other reading materials are unaffordable, libraries throughout the world stock large quantities of reading materials that are easily accessible to the average reader. But reading is certainly not confined to books, newspapers, magazines or journals. Today, many people read hundreds or even thousands of words daily without even looking at a book, newspaper or magazine to do this. They read their mail, street signs, advertisements on billboards, package labels, the wording in television commercials, etc.
