Students with severe reading disabilities may benefit from computer programs that can scan words and “read” them aloud via synthesized voices, some of which sound uncannily human. And be aware that even the most well-designed technology can only accommodate a disability, not erase it.īelow is a sampling of the most popular assistive technologies on the market today. Kamil advises consulting with the professional who has evaluated the student.

Kamil, a consulting professor at the Stanford University School of Education and an expert on adolescent literacy and technology, warns that not every product is going to be useful. The idea is that assistive technologies - like spell-check - should be useful to anyone, not just the disabled.īut Michael L. That’s a textbook example of “universal design for learning,” a set of principles for designing technology that many educators, as well as the United States Department of Education, have embraced.

Take the case of Michael Riccioli, who noticed that his teenage son was not comprehending a novel assigned in class. In his district, at least 90 public schools are using Dragon Dictate, a voice-recognition program that does the typing for you. “These technologies help level a playing field for individuals who would not be able to demonstrate their capabilities as learners,” says Brant Parker, director of learning and innovation technology for the Calgary Board of Education in Canada. From pens that can remember to text that can talk, such technologies are now being held up as important tools for students with learning disabilities like dyslexia, dysgraphia (trouble writing) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Thirty years later, an ever-growing array of assistive technology is available to help students read, write term papers and take tests. In the 1980s, with the introduction of word processing programs like WordPerfect, it became apparent that computerized proofreaders could come to the rescue of struggling spellers and bad typists. YOU might say it all started with spell-check.

![]() Regardless of the chosen theme or the background story involved, Chicken Invaders is always a good choice, entertainment wise. The same amount of fun as in the previous episodes ![]() When it comes to the controls, they are very responsive and intuitive, although you do need a bit of practice before you are able to successfully avoid flying into the chickens. The animations are very improved and a new soundtrack has been composed, which, although may not be very long, is very pleasant and relaxing. Thus, you are able to take on much stronger opponents, such as giant bunnies or deadly UFOs.įrom a technical point of view, the game is as colorful as it needs to be to attract attention and make you smile with every occasion. Since the weapons you receive in the beginning are nowhere nearly as strong as you need them to be in order to survive the later stages of the game, you can pick-up a variety of new guns by collecting power-ups dropped by the evaporated chickens. Pick-up new weapons and various other power-ups In addition, there is also the matter of the boss levels, which pit you against more powerful enemies with a lot of hitpoints. Obviously, beside these organized attacks, there are also a few other challenges as well, in which you are assaulted by a carefully orchestrated formation of chicken flying around you. ![]() The gameplay mechanics should require no introduction, since they are mostly the same as in the original title, with your ship at the bottom and rows upon rows of chickens at the top, shooting eggs at you. In this Revenge of the Yolk Easter Edition, you have to defend the world against much more than chickens, though, since the Easter Bunny is also putting considerable effort into destroying your ship and ending the universe. Fight off the devastating chicken invasionĬhicken Invaders by far the most well-known series that uses the same mechanics, only with clumsy chickens instead of alien space ships. This was the case with space invaders as well, which featured a revolutionary gameplay that was mimicked and copied in a variety of spin-offs and remakes over the course of the years. From time to time, a video game comes out that brings an entirely new idea to the table, which is then used in most of the titles that follow it. ![]() Many organizations lack the in-house expertise to review, investigate, and respond to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint security threats. “ We increase the confirmed detections and tune down the noise of security alerts.”-Cordell BaanHofman, General Manager, Red Canary + Microsoft Security at Red Canaryīesides alert fatigue, companies also struggle with two other big challenges that restrict their ability to respond to cyberthreats: a lack of cybersecurity expertise and a limited budget. Customers also benefit from the deep threat detection expertise with detection engineers and incident handlers available around the clock, serving as an extension of a customer’s security team. The Red Canary technology is only half the story. Red Canary’s solution supercharges the already powerful Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and also now supports Microsoft Defender for Identity, to help security operations teams protect on-premises identities, and Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Identity Protection, to protect identities and user accounts for Azure AD customers along with recently announced support for publishing confirmed detections into Microsoft Sentinel. Thousands of detectors-a number that is growing all the time-trigger investigations on anything suspicious that’s detected. ![]() When its MDR solution detects a security threat for one customer, a logic-based detection engine is strengthened and used to detect similar threats for other customers. Red Canary is continuously monitoring and reviewing every potential threat-even detections that appear outwardly benign are investigated. These detection engineers provide extended coverage for long-term customer peace of mind. Underpinning Red Canary’s MDR solution is its all-day security operations team. Red Canary MDR + Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a powerful combination for modern security operations teams to protect their organizations.įounded in 2014, Red Canary is a security ally for customers and an extension of their security teams. Red Canary MDR integrates with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to help customers detect and respond to cybersecurity threats in their environment. That’s why Red Canary, a cybersecurity software as a service (SaaS) company that provides outcome-focused solutions for security operations teams, developed a security operations platform that powers their Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions. They also wonder, “If we were attacked, how fast could we contain a security threat?” Security alerts don’t answer this question. Security alerts lack the context customers need to determine which alerts are a serious threat and which are noise. Red Canary is a security ally for customers 2 In fact, 44 percent of alerts go uninvestigated 1 because of the high volume and inadequate staff levels. Since 2019, the number of security alerts has increased by 34 percent. Security alert fatigue happens when employees become desensitized to alerts and alarms from tools and technology because of their frequency. Some security operations leaders have even said that if a security alert isn’t resolved within a week, it’s automatically deleted from the system. ![]() Prospective customers have told us they mute security alerts or create rules to ignore or turn off alerts. Enterprises typically maintain 70 security products from 35 different vendors 1 and burnout from alert fatigue can lead to choices that put a company’s security at risk. Frustrated by alert fatigue, these organizations want a deeper understanding of security threats and extended coverage to protect themselves. Organizations often feel overwhelmed by the number of security alerts they receive. This blog post is part of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association guest blog series.

I've also recently gotten Beta invites for two games I've had my eye on lately: Wildstar and Everquest Landmark. Been farming Glazenuts for my FC garden, and we now have 3 out of the 5 Manor instruments in our house. Haven't got the fishing rod yet because FUCK FISHING. I caved in and bought 2 extra retainers yesterday, so I'm gonna eventually have to get them again so they can do high-end ventures. Got 2 out of 3 Forager's Tools and the Forager's Hat for gathering, as well as an extra Hat and Dolabra for one of my retainers. Still trying to get enough Control materia to max-meld each craft so I can use CP food instead of Control food to meet the requirement for 3* synths. Got all 8 Artisan's Tools and the Artisan's Spectacles for crafting. Still working on getting the Curtana Atma to Animus as well, but I can only handle so much Brayflox spamming for Mythology. Haven't had a chance to try the newer Coils yet because my static group thinks we need to be better geared first. The only one left out of the cast that's still remotely likable is Guy, if only because his VA used the same voice to do Vash the Stampede on Trigun. Mieu is starting to grate quickly on my nerves. Too bad they couldn't just ditch Luke and make him the main character.Įdit: Nevermind. Normally I hate those "comedic mascots" many anime insist on forcing on the player/viewer, but somehow he's actually managed to be a sympathetic character, useful, and actually pretty adorable without being too saccharine. Surprisingly, Mieu is turning out to be the star of this little farce. I'll give it a bit more time, but if he doesn't shape up real quick then I'll probably just give up and send it back early. ![]() It's something I could imagine having a bit of fun with if the cast weren't so either bland or horrible, especially Luke who is hands down the most unlikable fuck I've ever seen shoehorned into the role of protagonist. I like how you can preform different moves based on how you tilt the stick, to get at both high and low targets - but I don't like how you can't (or I haven't found out how yet) swap characters mid-combat. The soft but colorful anime atmosphere is enjoyable enough, and the combat system is rather old-style Star Ocean:TTEoT-ish - competent, but nothing special. Just got Tales of the Abyss for 3DS rental in the mail. (That being said, I'm pretty sure my Silver battery has died by now, so I'll chalk that one up as not going to happen.) I just want to clear the Elite Four in each and then I'm fine saying "screw it" to the postgame content.Īctually, if I'm being honest, I don't think I even completed all of Kanto in my original playthrough of Silver on the Game Boy Color, so in theory the only Pokemon game I've ever actually completed was Pokemon Red. I had only completed three badges in Black before last week and I'm now on my way to the last Gym, so I've made some progress there. So far I'm doing pretty well (Xenoblade's on my list, for instance) but there's still a lot to finish.Īs far as Pokemon is concerned, I'm sitting at or around the Elite Four in both Sapphire and Platinum (though Platinum might actually be a little before that). Over the last few months I've been going out of my way to power through and finish a bunch of games I meant to play. Maybe over a hundred if we factor in random indie games I picked up for sale on Steam that I don't actually have queued up. How many unfinished games are you currently juggling? :wacko: Maybe one of these days I'll finish all the Pokemon games I started but never finished? I sorta randomly dove back into Pokemon Black this past weekend. Slowly chipping away at my second xenoblade playthrough. ![]() Dying is 100% optional, the already easy controls and gameplay can be customized with accessibility features to meet your own needs and wants.

Over time, he descended into madness, and Pandora's Temple's puzzles grew more vicious and complex, accordingly. The brilliant architect, Pathos Verdes III, was tasked to build a temple in order to house the Box, which ensured that none would be able to reach it. After he knew that Zeus would take Pandora from him, Hephaestus tricked Zeus into believing that placing the Box on the back of Cronos would be the safest place, thereby saving Pandora, and condemned Cronos to a life of agony. The key to pacifying the Flame was a child that Hephaestus had created from the flame itself - Pandora. The Flame, as lethal as it was beautiful, would kill all who dared touch it, and therefore, was the perfect safeguard for the Box. After he knew that no mere metal could contain the Evils of the World, Hephaestus forged the Box out of a Power greater than that of the Gods: the Flame of Olympus. And Hope made all the difference in the world.Pandora's Box was created by Hephaestus, by order of Zeus, to contain the Evils that were created by the Titanomachy. He gave Pandora a big buggy smile in thanks for his freedom and flew away. Quickly, before she could slam the lid shut, one tiny bug flew out. Pandora opened the lid to show him it was empty. Pandora slammed the lid closed, but it was too late.Įpimetheus heard her weeping. As she raised the lid, out flew all the bad things in the world today - envy, sickness, hate, disease. One day, she used the key to open the box. It was Pandora whose curiosity got the better of her. The note said: "DO NOT OPEN." Attached to the note was a key. It was not the truth of course, but then nearly everyone in theĪncient Greek world knew better than to believe the mighty Zeus.Įpimetheus was kind-hearted and gentle and thoughtful, but he was no fool. That's why Zeus had decided to give Pandora in marriage to Epimetheus. Hephaestus, had to be punished and that's why he was chained to a rock,īut he felt sorry that this punishment left Epimetheus without the company of his brother. Zeus named his lovely new daughter Pandora. He brought her to life, and then brought her to Zeus. Hephaestus made a woman out of clay, a beautiful woman.

Once Prometheus was chained to a rock, Zeus went after Prometheus' brother, the gentle, kind-hearted Epimetheus.
