developed throughout the years and now they are able to be on electronic devices. Reading e-books does not have to be at a computer. Almost all devices used for school can have online books downloaded on them. People can read e-books on small devices like an Ipad or a kindle. It just depends on what device it is downloaded on (“What…” 1). Students can download their online textbooks on any device they want as long as the device supports the e-book being downloaded. While some teachers think online
and describe how those devices could support a student with a disability in the classroom. Assistive technology is used to improve functional capabilities for an individual. With that being said there is a wide range of different technologies that could be used to assist an individual. Examples of AT found on (Page 1: Assistive Technology Devices) consist of brail books, book scanners, magnifiers, grabbers, pencil grips, and highlighters. It is obvious that the range of devices vary in helping a variety
Designing, Making and Testing a Sundial Introduction: The sundial is the oldest know device for measuring time. The first confirmed uses of it where by the Babylonians in around 2000BC.

The sundials used by the Babylonians were hollow half spheres, set with edges flat and with
Next-Generation home we will find a network of appliances that are linked to the Web through various non-traditional devices such as; PDA's, TV's, ovens, and phones. The Next-Generation home receives information continuously and effortlessly which makes it simple to receive updates to an electronic phone book or downloading e-mails from the office to a PDA. With the non-traditional devices linked to the Web, this makes the PC no longer the sole connection point within the network (The Network Home, 2006)
easier as I found that a lot of the information to be on the HSE website. Overall I believe that I have covered all of the assignment that is possible in light of not being able to cover section 4 hence the reason that I have expanded the safety devices section somewhat. Bibliography Below are a list of some of the key web sites and documents I used during my research for this assignment.

The similarities between these two poems are immediately obvious to the reader; both poems are written by female poets, both poems have the poet as the speaker, both poems describe how the poet feels about herself, and both poems utilize the photograph as a device to convey their message to the reader.

play are codependent and need to have a symbiotic relationship to ensure their mutual survival. A lack of characters in the play would make very difficult reading and perhaps more difficult viewing. A lack of characters would necessitate some other device to be used and a substitute has not been found that replaces the role characters play in a play. An example from the play is when Oedipus was speaking to Teiresias: "I did not know then you would talk like a foolor it would have been long before

Assistive Listening Devices Several assistive listening devices can improve the communication ability of deaf children. According to IDEA, every child with a disability is entitled to have access to assistive technology (California Department of Education, 2004). The California Department of Education (2004) outlines IDEA’s definition of an assistive technology device. It explains that this device consists of “any item, piece of equipment or product system…that is used to increase, maintain
were used solely to transport freight in factories and ore in mines. Unfortunately, these elevators required a safety device to restrain the elevator from dropping if it’s supporting cable broke, and this had not been invented yet. Eventually, this necessity was discerned and acted upon. In 1852, Elisha Graves Otis designed the first safety contrivance for elevators. This device was a system involving spring-operated cams that affianced the guide rails in the elevator shaft when the cable broke.
mounting it as a device. Containers vastly decrease the tedious task of individually encrypting files since you simply move your files into the mount point and then unmount and they nicely encrypted. First, you need to create a blank file using the dd command. dd if=/dev/urandom of=crypto.img bs=1M count=50 - The first parameter uses the /dev/urandom device to create the file with random data to make it more difficult to distinguish between free space and encrypted data. The /dev/zero device can be used
