Women Rewarded Solar Lights for Adult Literacy
Solar Lantern Distribution To Adult Women PEP TANDOALLAHYAR Oct12th, 2017
Pakistan has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world. The general understanding of literacy in Pakistan is the ability to read and write and unluckily, millions of people in Pakistan are dispossessed of even this. The situation seems even worse when we look into the urban-rural divide. In rural Sindh, women are most deprived of education due to cultural customs which has created gender inequality and has deprived women to have a voice in the society. Through Adult Literacy Education, Primary Education project PEP is on to change that.
Female Adult Literacy program was initiated in 2016. At present PEP is running 26 Female Adult Literacy (FAL) Centers with 316 Female Adult Literacy members (Adult Students) in different areas of rural Sindh as follows,
Khipro48
Mirpurkhas47
Khawaja Goth7
Tando Allahyar80
Tando Ghulam Ali134
There are 6 area officers and 1 WEP coordinator for the implementing and monitoring of the adult literacy program.
As a gesture of appreciation Pervaiz Lodhie President and founder LEDtronics Inc. offered a special gift of a Solar Powered LED Solar Light to the 316 student and 7 program officers.
Funding for the solar lights was provided by one of gentleman from USA. His name is not mentioned here on his advice.
First distribution ceremony was held on Thursday October 12, 2017 in Shaleemabad, Achaar Khaskeli & Shanti Nagar ALCs located in Tando Allahyar districts.
Lt. Gen (Retd.) Syed Perwaiz Shahid a renowned educationist was chief guest for the event.
Ms. Lillian Charles Program Manager PEP and other team members from PEP were present in the event.
During the ceremony 72 female students received solar lanterns. PEP will organize another event in Hyderabad for the distribution of remaining solar lights in November 2017.

RFID Readers And Blockers
RFID readers or Radio frequency identification readers in full are a marvel of the 21st century. They have made so many aspects of our daily lives easier, more convenient and smarter. If you have come across an RFID reader, you are probably asking how do they work? Well, with some little bit of physics knowledge and a little braid power, I will give you an answer to your question and satisfy your curiosity.
Understanding RFID Readers
To better understand RFID readers, let’s first take a look into the technology itself. RFID uses radio waves to detect RFID tags or microchips that are often embedded in the target item. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic waves along the electromagnetic spectrum. They have the longest wavelengths compared to other waves in the spectrum. Their wavelengths can reach 1km and thus very useful for transmitting signals over long distances. They will often be used to transmit signals for broadcasting stations, radar, satellites and mobile radio communication. They also have minimal or no effect to human beings and are therefore safe.
How do they work? RFID readers continually send a radio signal to detect any RFID tag that may be present. If a tag is within the range of the reader, then the tag send back a signal that is picked up by the reader. You could picture this occurrence as a mirror reflecting light. If you switch on a flashlight and a mirror is placed on the path of the beam of light, it will reflect the light beam back to the flashlight. This obviously depends on the angle of the mirror, but the important thing here, is the fact that the light beam is reflected. An important thing to note here is the fact that unlike bar codes, RFID readers send a signal within a given area. If a tag is within the area, it will reflect a signal back to the reader. Bar code readers on the other hand require the bar code to be in line with the incoming beam of light from the reader. Due to the wide area covered by the reader, it is possible to tract multiple objects at the same time as long as they fall within the given area and range.
As you have probably realized by now, the RFID technology requires two major items. A reader and a tag. RFID tags a small chips that to most people, make things smart. They make it possible to get information about an object without getting into contact with it. The RFID tag may look something similar to the chip on your credit card or sim card. They are classified into three. Passive tags. These tags do not have their own energy source. They therefore rely on energy from the incoming radio wave in order to power themselves and give back a signal to be picked up by the receiver. Semi-passive tags. These do have their own power source. These power is primarily used to power the tag and its micro CPU. The power from the radio receiver is however used to power the output from the tag that is picked up by the receiver. Active Tag. They have their own power supply that is also used to transmit a signal to the receiver. They also have a wider range compared to the other two tag variants. The tags could be embedded in a credit card, a label or even a key chain. This enables use of the tags in almost any item you can think of. This is perhaps the main reason why they are widely used in shopping malls, with door fixed RFID receivers placed at the exits of the different shops.

The RFID tag has several basic components: The transponder, the rectifier circuit, the controller and finally memory. The transponder receives the radio signal from the detector and also sends the signal back to the detector. The rectifier circuit, often found in a passive tag, stores energy for use in the controller and subsequently the memory. Most RFID tags have every little memory storage that is often less than 200kb.
Now let take an in depth look into the RFID readers themselves. RFID readers have three basic components; the Microcontroller, the RF signal generator and the receiver also known as the signal detector. As we mentioned earlier, the RFID radio receiver sends radio waved that are detected by a tag. The RF signal generator creates this radio wave and emits it through an antenna. Conversely the receiver receives the signal from the tag.
Once the tag sends back the radio signal, the receiver’s antenna picks up the signal and sends it to the microprocessor for interpretation and processing of the signal received. In other instances, the device may be connected directly to a computer which then acts as the microprocessor. As mentioned earlier. Radio waves are within the electromagnetic spectrum, which is basically and arrangement of different waves, according to their frequency and wavelengths.
The frequencies of most RFID systems may either be low frequency, high frequency and ultra-high frequency. Low frequencies operate between 125 and 134 kHz, they also travel shorter distances, and with a range of up to 10 cm. High frequency is at 13.56 kHz. At this frequency, the wave can travel up to a range of 1m. Ultra-high frequency on the other hand, operate between 860 and 960 kHz. They have a range of up to 10m. The frequencies used depend on the specific country or customer requirements.
How do RFID blockers work?With the knowledge on how RFID technology works there are people who are have raised concerns. There are concerns that the technology presents a security and privacy risk, especially when used on credit cards. Companies have created products that protect tags from the technology and here is a how it works.
How Do RFID Blockers Work?
RFID Blocking Wallet
How do RFID blockers work? RFID blockers work by reducing or deflecting the power of the signal
emitted by the tag. The received radio signal powers the chip and if the outgoing signal from the chip can be reduced, then the reception of the signal by the receiver will have been prevented.
With this wonderful new technology being used to supply information quicker and faster in forms of say credit cards this is giving crooks an easier foot hold in getting a hold of your personal information instead of “picking your pocket.” With the new technology crooks are able to just casually pass by you on the street and with a small scanning device and scan your pocket with you having no possible idea that your information was just violated. Causing you big headaches and a long road of recovering your personal information.
As a way to save people from this headache and to offer protection to the public RFID blocking wallets are becoming the new go to protection for most. Most companies have made this a standard in their wallets.

#WalkInRed is an online/virtual social media campaign that takes place each year during the month of April. The idea is for #ActuallyAutistic individuals and allies to post selfies wearing red shoes, socks, lipstick, nail polish, other clothing or anything else red like food, toys, printed signs, etc. These images are meant to act as a positive beacon; making a typically blue month much happier through #love. 2015 is the first of many flashblogs and tweetstorms in the name of equality, understanding and #acceptance.

The Klein ISD Unite for Understanding Council hosted its second annual Paint the Community with Peace Week on Feb. 10-16, 2013. During the week, the council asked for neighborhoods, businesses, faith communities and civic organizations to share messages of peace through marquee messages, displaying the event poster, or creating and showcasing original art to promote peace.
Based on the information collected during my ethnographic work focusing my attention on the everyday understandings of dengue fever, and paying particular attention to the different ways in which the subjects that have had dengue described the experience of being unwell, I decided to re-work (collaboratively) all the information gathered so far, to create elements that reflect the ideas of how dengue fever is understood in various different contexts.
Promoters of public health have not taken into consideration the points of view of the patients or those who have had the disease. They design campaigns based on an entomological and clinical point of view, following a standard template where you see health staff –dressed in laboratory coats– talking about environmental hygiene and the purposes of sanitation. In addition, humour doesn’t play a role in the design of the campaigns.
In order to collaboratively create an intervention that reproduces the way Luis Fernando and Sara experienced the disease (you can find information about the ways in which they described the experience of being unwell by accessing my PhD blog: www.anthropologyartscience.blogspot.com), we asked Alejandro Uribe, Sarita Álvarez and Juan Camilo Ortega for their help. They are part of Bimana, a collective of artist that creates a variety of large-scale interventions and performances combining a solar balloon, plastic bags, kites, makeup, prosthetics design, and special effects. The idea was to create a fictional character, or a comic anti-hero, that would appear in the public space of the city, creating an active dialogue with different peoples.
Acknowledgments:
I am extremely grateful with the subjects of this ethnography Sara and Luis Fernando. Special thanks to the ‘Bimana Producciones’ team (Alejandro Uribe, Sarita Álvarez and Juan Camilo Ortega), the kite-flyer Andrés Ramírez and the actor Emilio Arango. I would also like to thank the rest of the people that helped during the public experiment: Pablo López, Lucía Tobón, Sara Ibarra, Susana Valencia, Hernán Marín, Mario Valencia, and Gustavo Ramírez.

Understanding Leeds Most Common Crimes
Leeds is the largest city in the county if West Yorkshire, that is highly popular and known for its shopping, nightlife, universities, and sport. It is a city also known for its parks and beautiful green spaces that make it a very appealing city for tourists and visitors.
However, in past years Leeds has been known and recognized for its high crime rate. This is something that has reflected negatively on the city, deterring visitors and impacting on Leeds residents’ movements around the city. Despite Leeds’s crime ridden past, the past year or so has shown an overall decline in crimes committed, with a 2.6 per cent reduction in offences in West Yorkshire in 2019/20, and around 7,600 fewer victims, according to the West Yorkshire Police.
What are these crimes that are still being committed?
New police data, obtained by the Yorkshire Evening Post under the Freedom of Information (FOI) ACT, has revealed the nine most commonly recorded crimes in north Leeds wards from April 2019 to March 2020. Here they are:
1. Violence Without Injury
There were a total of 5,335 violent crimes without injury recorded in Leeds within this time frame.
2. Burglary – Residential
There were 2,188 residential burglaries recorded in Leeds from April 2019 to March 2020.
There are three main types of burglary, they are: opportunistic burglary, targeted/planned burglary, and distraction burglary...

PHNOM PENH, May 10, 2011 (IPS) - The rains were kind to Cambodian farmer Tep Van last year, when the monsoon season doused his land with enough water to soak his fields and grow his precious rice crop. But heâs not sure he can count on the same luck this year..

My understanding is that the government wants to sell off this block to developers (that could have been a misunderstanding and it was about the owner/zoning). Residents have hung out flags and banners in protest. The adjacent development project Northern Street pedestrian shopping area, was mostly without tenants in the new high-end retail space and condos.
As of 2010 the nearby Cinema Moscow is also being threatend by redevelopment. Many architectural and urban icons of the city have already been lost, like the Youth House Tower.
