How Braille Works

by Tracy V. Wilson
In 1828, Charles Barbier, a visitor to Royal Institution for Blind Youth, introduced Louis Braille to a tactile dot code known
as night writing. Barbier had invented the code to allow soldiers to communicate with one another in the dark, but his idea hadnt
caught on. It used dots to represent 36 phonetic sounds rather than the letters of the alphabet. Some of its characters were six dots t all.
Louis Braille realized that the same basic idea could give blind people na efficient method for reading and writing. Through trial and
error, he figured out that a six-dot cell was small enough to fit under a fingertip but had enough possible dot combinations to represent
a wide range of letters and symbols. He used this cell to create an alphabet using tactile dots and dashes. The Braille cells used today
are two dots wide and three dots tall, and they no longer use dashes. You can represent each dots position within the cell with a
number. Dots one, two and three are on the left side of the cell, and dots four, five and six are on the right side. A cell with one dot in
position six indicates that the next cell represents a capital letter, and a cell marked with dots three through six signifies that the next
cell represents a number. The Braille characters for the numbers zero through nine are the same as for the letters a through j.
A typical line of Braille is about 40 characters long, and a typical page of Braille is about 25 lines long. In other words,
Braille takes up significantly more room than standardsized print. Braille pages are also thicker and heavier than ordinary paper, and
they have to be bound in a loose format so that pages can lie flat and people can reach the cells near the books binding. This leads to
relatively bulky books. For example, the Braille version of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is eight volumes long. Its longer
predecessor, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, is fourteen volumes long. To conserve space and make the reading process
a little faster, many people learn to read contracted Braille, previously known as Grade 2 Braille. Uncontracted Braille, or Grade 1
Braille, uses characters to represent single letters, numbers and symbols. Contracted Braille uses characters to represent letter
combinations or whole words. There are close to 200 contractions in the American version of English Braille. These include
commonly-used words like and, you and for as well as letter combinations like ing and ed. There are opposing theories
about whether it is better for a person to learn contracted or uncontracted Braille. Some educators argue that uncontracted Braille is an
important foundation for learning contracted Braille. In addition, learning characters for individual letters and symbols may be easier
for young children who are beginning to learn to read. Opponents argue that uncontracted Braille is more time- and
spaceconsumingthan contracted Braille and that teaching the contracted version first requires people to learn two codes.

UNCONTACTED TRIBE IN BRAZIL ENDS ITS ISOLATION

LATEST NEWS
By Heather Pringle
8 July 2014 11:45 am
Last week, Brazilian officials announced that an isolated Amazonian tribe took a momentous and potentially tragic step.
Emerging from dense rainforest along the Upper Envira River in the state of Acre, Brazil, the group willingly approached a team of
Brazilian government scientists on 29 June and made peaceful contact with the outside world. Officials suspect that the tribe fled
illegal logging and drug trafficking in their traditional homelands in Peru. The meeting was Brazil's first official contact with an
isolated Amazonian tribe in 20 years. Anthropologists remain deeply concerned about the tribe's future as it encounters novel diseases
and resource-hungry outsiders. Many previous contacts have ended in tragedy, as diseases such as influenza and whooping cough
ravaged tribes.

PAPER, PLASTIC, OR SOMETHING BETTER?

The next time the clerk at your favorite grocery store asks whether you prefer paper or plastic for your purchases, consider
giving the truly eco-friendly response and saying, neither. Plastic bags end up as litter that fouls the landscape, and kill thousands of
marine mammals every year that mistake the floating bags for food. Plastic bags that get buried in landfills may take up to 1,000 years
to break down, and in the process they separate into smaller and smaller toxic particles that contaminate soil and water. Furthermore,
the production of plastic bags consume millions of gallons of oil that could be used for fuel and heating. Paper bags, which many
eople consider a better alternative to plastic bags, carry their own set of environmental problems. For example, according to the
American Forest and Paper Association, in 1999 the U.S. alone used 10 billion paper grocery bags, which adds up to a lot of trees.
But if you decline paper and plastic bags, then how do you get your groceries home? The answer, according to many
environmentalists, is high-quality reusable shopping bags made of materials that dont harm the environment during production and
dont need to be discarded after each use. Experts estimate that 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed and discarded
annually worldwide more than a million per minute.
