Students in Kakuma refugee camp, Kenya using tablets from Instant Classroom, the Vodafone Foundation’s ‘digital school in a box’.
Two Instant Classroom units were delivered to Kakuma in July 2015 to connect Greenlight Secondary School and the community library to the internet giving students access to free digital educational resources. The Instant Classroom is shipped in a secure and robust 52kg case which is equipped with a laptop, 25 tablets pre-loaded with educational software, a projector, a speaker and a hotspot modem with 3G connectivity. The tablets can connect to the laptop locally, enabling teachers to deliver content and applications to students without the need to access the internet. All the components can be charged simultaneously from a single power source while the case is locked. After 6-8 hours of charging time, the Instant Classroom can be used for a full day in a classroom without access to electricity.
The portable nature of the equipment has allowed for Instant Classroom to be moved between schools, enabling more students to benefit from tablet based learning.

Church of St. Stephan
Tower of the parish church
The parish church of St. Stephen's is a Roman Catholic church and is on the eastern edge of the old city core (parish court) of Baden in Lower Austria. The tower with the characteristic Baroque onion dome is visible from far away and still dominates the cityscape.
History
The Church of Baden belonged to the diocese of Passau for centuries. This long ties recalled that the parish church of the Holy Baden Is dedicated to Stephen, the patron saint of Passau. Bathing was originally a branch of the mother parish churches of Traiskirchen.
In 1220 a priest in Baden was first documented. What position he had - he might have been chaplain to the castle Baden - was not mentioned. As Traiskirchen with all its branches to the Melk Abbey, it was assumed it was in 1312 for separation of Baden. It has now an independent parish under the patronage of Melk. After prolonged disputes between the bishops of Passau and Melk the Abbey Melk in 1693 handed over the right of patronage to Passau. When the dwarf Diocese of Vienna was founded in 1469 was elevated to archbishopric in 1729 , it came to assign the previously belonging to Passau area south of Vienna, including Baden. 1784 Baden is finally sovereign's parish.
From the original parish area of ​​Baden several new parishes were created: Sooß (from 1783 parish ), St. Christopher (St. Helena in 1783 raised as to the parish) and St. Joseph (1990 applicable to the parish). The parish is about 6,000 Catholics today with one of the largest parishes of the Deanery Baden. Besides the parish church, also belong to other churches and chapels of the parish pastoral area .
Appearance
The architectural history of the church in front of the building at the end of the 15th Century can only being guessed based on the remaining components. Mentioned in documents is only the existence of a charnel house (charnel house) in 1258. But have worked in Baden before that time priests and Baden castle certainly had a church or chapel, one can assume that towards the end of the 12th Century a church was located on the present site .
The immediate predecessor dates back to the Romanesque period. This church was probably a three-nave building with two low towers between which the chancel and apse were. Around 1400 began the construction of a Gothic chancel, including the lower church, which was built in the Romanesque apse and this eventually replaced. The nave of the church was in the second half of the 15th century erected, thereby including the Romanesque exterior walls. This period also saw the establishment of the main tower over the existing two Romanesque towers fall. This work - probably made ​​necessary by a partial destruction of the church during the Hungarian invasion - had to be interrupted again and again in these troubled times. The main tower was not completed and finally covered with a gable roof. Only in 1697, after the tower was damaged in the wars against the Turks, put it on the appearance typical baroque onion dome. The most northern Vorturm (ante-tower) still existing remains of a "murder Gallery" reminiscent of the involvement of the Church in the defenses of the city. Around the year 1480, the Gotisierung (gothification) to have been completed. Puzzles are on the tower located in the west over the main entrance. The so-called "shot- tower" once towered far beyond the roof and, like the main tower was heavily damaged in the wars against the Turks. In 1827 it received its present appearance. It is believed that this tower was built in the Gothic period.
The 67 meter high tower, incidentally, is the so-called parament chamber and the watchman's apartment, on which until the 20th Century the sacristan lived. The belfry holds five bells. Of them survived the two world wars: the "Great Bell" (2000 kg tone: H) from 1832 and the " litany bell " (950 kg Sound: s) from in 1764. The other three bells were cast in 1949 : "Marie Bell" (sound : fis ) , the " Joseph Bell" (sound : gis) and the " Urbaniglocke " (sound : h).
Interior Design

Paul Troger: Stoning of St. Stephen
Furnishings from the Romanesque and Gothic periods are scarce. From the Romanesque still can be found animal heads that are immured in the vaults of the central nave. The Gothic remember especially the baptismal font and several angels on the church walls and at the south gate. The period after 1480 to 1683 is marked by the Ottoman wars and the Reformation, where the Baden ministers eagerly have been engaged. Therefore receive only grave monuments from the Renaissance period, some of which are attached to the pillars of the Church. Noteworthy is a grave slab in the chapel for the Baden minister Joseph Vincent Bauernfeind (†1517).
The Turkish wars of 1529 and 1683 brought with it severe damage. So had to be replaced in addition to the placement of the tower bulb especially the interior of the church in the Baroque style. During the 18th Century was the formation of several side altars in the nave of the church at the beginning of each side of the ship, the Lady altar to the pulpit, the altar and the Sebastian Anthony altar. Joseph's Chapel was also the Baroque style. Where today stands the main altar, were erected an altar in honor of the Holy Cross, but in 1758 in the former sacristy below the North Tower (Chapel of the Cross) was added. At the same time was finished the construction of the present sacristy. Also worthnoting is that the Sebastian altar was donated to the plague year of 1713 the Baden citizenship as a reminder. This is attested to by a votive tablet, which now hangs above the output in the sacristy. In the chancel, the windows were bricked up almost entirely and set a Baroque high altar. The altarpiece depicting the stoning of St. Stephen painted the famous Baroque artist Paul Troger. In the sacristy the Baroque has left its mark: the altar in honor of St. Francis Xavier and the valuable baroque sacristy cabinet from 1743.
In 1880 began extensive Regotisierungsarbeiten (re-gothification work). 1893, the Baroque high altar was replaced by the current. Only the high altarpiece remained in the church and got its present location on the output with the vestry. The walled-up windows in the chancel were re-opened. Similarly, the neo-Gothic paneling and the choir was built. Even the altars in the aisles and the St. Joseph's Chapel and the Chapel of the Cross were again re-gothicised. Is painful that in this course the original Gothic console statues on the walls have been replaced be new-gothic ones. Only one has been preserved and is on display in Baden Schiestl-Hof. With the transformation of the side entrances ended 1913 gothicised parish church.
In the 70 years the great interior and exterior renovation of the church took place. There were several rooms grown during the installation of a district heating at the north gate. The interior renovation of the main altar and today's session was established. The neo-Gothic altars in the aisles were removed, and only the remaining altar statues. Also, the defective Baroque pews were replaced by new ones. In 1989, the altar of the Chapel of the Cross was eventually transferred to the parsonage, and there set up a chapel.
Organ
The Hencke-Organ
The organ of the parish church was originally built for the Dorotheerkirche in Vienna in 1787 and brought here. It is a work of the famous organ builder Johann Hencke from the year 1744.
During the renovation in 1987 (organ building Gerhard Hradetzky Oberbergen in Lower Austria) the original keys have been re-installed, on which have probably already played Mozart and Beethoven. The organ has 28 stops on two manuals and pedal.
Mozart, who had assisted in the performance of several of his shows in Baden St. Stephen was a friend of the former choir director Anton Stoll in 1791 and dedicated to him his famous Ave Verum K. 618, probably in June 23rd of 1791 was premiered in the parish church .

Vindolanda is the site of a Roman garrison town/fort just south of Hadrian's Wall that continues to be excavated and yields some astonishing finds.
The most precious have been handwritten writing tablets like these that reveal a lot about life on the Northern Frontier and are mostly held in the British Museum.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vindolanda_tablets
This is one of four excavated in 2017 that went on display in late 2019 at the Vindolanda Museum.
It tells of Masclus a cavalry detachment commander who is asking Verecundus , his boss ( then commander of the Vindolanda fort and a prefect from modern day Belgium), for permission for 5 of his men to go on leave.

So nearly didn't put a picture on this week, i downloaded what i thought was MSN messenger, but it was a virus and totally killed my computer :(
sorta managed to get it sorted out a little just in time to put this up. Hopefully getting a laptop this week :D
Not really sure if i like this or not, i think it might be a bit boring, dunno, just messed about with the curves a little, and added a bit of contrast n vignetting!
If you're ever going to buy a drawing tablet for the computer, don't buy one of the small ones. I never used my first tablet. It was the small version. It sucked because I couldn't use my whole wrist and arm like I would on paper. This one is 8x10 and it's great. I quite love it.
It also supports gestures, so you can use it like a giant laptop trackpad too.

Lunchtime pills :( it stinks being quite unwell but you've just got to swallow 'em and get on with your life I guess.
Having just posted individual photos of each of these crowns, together with close-ups showing details of most of them, why am I bringing them all out again for a curtain call?
Well, if the crowns are imposing individually, their impact is even greater when they are seen in a group.
Also, I wanted to show the simple and immediate setting in which these treasures are displayed. Neither glass not artificial light distort your experience. That's not to say there aren't robust security measures; there are, but they do not overwhelm the visitor or the treasures.
Passionateartist says it is his favorite photo, hope I did not destroy it! I wanted to give it a Chinese athmosphere, because the photo was taken on the Yangtze, so the Mao collar and the red frame

Why is this larger than the resolution of the Phone/iPad/Tablet?
It is recommend that wallpaper be created as a square image, larger than the resolution of a device (iPad is 2048x2048) so that the image is not stretched/distorted when rotating the device into portrait or landscape.
How did you make it?
This background was made using graphic design software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Filter Forge, Genetica, Alien Skin, Topaz Labs, as well as several other programs.
