I know there are lending libraries. I can’t seem to find anyone who sells children’s braille books in Australia. I’d like to be able to keep them rater than have to return them afterwards.

The Braille Bookstore is an online shop in Canada – I’ve included the Contact Us link so you can find out about delivery costs etc. to Australia.
Vision Australia is the primary supplier of lending materials for the vision impaired in Australia so it may be worthwhile contacting them to find out who they get their braille books from.

An End-User Software License must be agreed to before software can be installed. If the software is for a refreshable braille display, or a screen reader, doesn’t that make it difficult(impossible) for a person who needs the hardware in order to to read the EULA in the first place, to agree to it?

Someone can help to install it for him/her.

I wake up beside you, tired and alone
Heat of the moment
Well this used to feel like home
Shouldn’t have stayed here
Here in your bed
Leftover feelings raised from the dead

Is this heaven or is this hell
I’m too tired to think
Yeah, I’m too tired to tell
Is this is heaven or is this hell
I’m too tired to think
Yeah, I’m too tired to tell

You talk of green on grass
You had a way
But I can tell when you’re lying, baby
Your lips move again

I may be lost here, here in your eyes
But these scars on my heart
Well they keep me in line

Is this heaven or is this hell
I’m too tired to think
Yeah, I’m too tired to tell
Is this heaven or is this hell
I’m too tired to think
Yeah, I’m too drunk, too drunk to tell

Is this heaven or is this hell
I’m too tired to think
Yeah, I’m too tired to tell
Is this heaven or is this hell
I’m too tired to think
Yeah, I’m too drunk, too drunk to tell

Louis Braille went to the Royal Institution for Blind Youth in Paris, France. What year did Louis graduate or how old was Louis Braille when he graduated?

I don’t know the answer to your question. Though, I receive a "This Day In History" email newsletter, and today, Jan. 4th, is his birthday. (They include people who are deceased.) And he is long deceased…being born on January 4, 1809…not sure when he died.) I did volunteer work with the Blind Federation of America for several years, and he did a great thing inventing braille. I don’t know it but am amazed when watching someone read braille.

I have been asked to produce labels with Swedish Braille numbers but I am unsure of their characteristics, height, diameter, spacing etc.

No, Braille numbers are the same in Britain and Sweden, written as a though j of the alphabet. Of course if you want to spell out numbers in Braille "One" as opposed to 1 it’s a different story.

I was getting some money from the bank and noticed little braille dots on each number of the ATM machine in the drive through… Scary?

Hopefully no one uses that…
