The Alfred Mizzi Foundation donates computers to aid literacy
Hundreds of adults and children have acquired today’s much-needed computer literacy skills through courses organised by the Jesuit-run Paulo Freire Institute (PFI) in Żejtun. This week, The Alfred Mizzi Foundation donated eight new HP computers and monitors to PFI, a much-needed and most welcome upgrade to the existing set-up offered by the institute.
Amongst other services, the Paulo Freire Institute offers literacy tuition to vulnerable adults through the ‘iċ-Ċavetta’ literacy programme, an award-winning Maltese literacy toolkit for adults, where computers are also used to make the learning process more interactive while imparting computer-based skills in the process.
Fr Vince Magri, the Jesuit director of Paulo Freire Institute, thanked The Alfred Mizzi Foundation for their continued support in kind, an invaluable asset for the organisation, since thanks to these computers, the iċ-Ċavetta course can be taught more efficiently. The computers will also be used for basic computer courses offered to hundreds of vulnerable adults and children.
Fr Vince extended a word of thanks to all those who supported the fundraising campaign in 2013 for the reprinting of the iċ-Ċavetta toolkit through their monetary donations, while announcing that the target has been reached. The textbook sets will be printed in the near future, giving the opportunity to 1000 Maltese adults to overcome illiteracy. Fr Vince said that the next project would be to to make the iċ-Ċavetta toolkit accessible online.
Mr Antonello Gauci, a trustee of The Alfred Mizzi Foundation, said that it was a pleasure for the Foundation to donate these computers to PFI because the Foundation values the Paulo Friere Institute’s work and contribution within the community. He said the Foundation was happy to offer a tool that would not only be indispensable for the iċ-Ċavetta literacy training courses, but would also be a means to educate people in computer literacy.
Mr Tony Abela, a volunteer at PFI who also teaches basic computer classes there said that over four years, more than 200 people have attended these basic computer classes, which have been of great benefit to society since today the majority of jobs require computer literacy.
Also present at the event were Mr Albert Petrocochino (The Alfred Mizzi Foundation trustee), staff and volunteers of PFI, and Ms Carmen Mamo, co-author of the iċ-Ċavetta literacy toolkit.

This computer was used from 1967 through 1990 at the US Air Force's Satellite Control facility in Sunnyvale, Calif.
It used discrete transisters, was optimized for real time use, had a 30-bit word length and initially was supplied with 32,000 words of memory (Your cell phone has orders of magnitudes more capability, too!)

Computer Engineering Undergraduate Gurpreet Singh Kalsi undergoes the fourth obstacle test at the 2019 Applied Collegiate Exoskeleton Competition inside the Bob and Betty Beyster Building on North Campus in Ann Arbor Michigan on Saturday May 18, 2019.
Six obstacles in all were constructed to test the durability and effectiveness of each team's model. University of Michigan's STARX team won the maximum amount of points from each obstacle test and took home the first place prize at the competition.

I learned I could create a high-powered close-up macro lens by flipping my lens backwards, and that there are adapters that help you do this. So I bought one for $7 on Amazon.
This is a picture of a computer screen.
Philips Videopac G7000. I don't recall much about this one but then I've never been a programmer. You can see me having a go at the first example in the manual here on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrSM4DxvB5s
one of our computers sucked all my time this evening. It was being super stupid! I think I patched it up for now.
The computer side of the table will have its drawer removed and will be turned into a hinged cover. A stopper will be used to keep the cover from opening to far and a magnet will help keep it closed.
Remove the plate. Mind the tiny screws.

Cables coming through the desk to a place where presumably a computer once was. The window around this desk is an amazing 180' view across the Bristol Channel towards Wales and Clevedon. Unfortunately it is mostly boarded up now and smashed, so I can only imagine what it looked like! You can also see cup marks on the desk - it's a great reminder of how people spent so many hours working here.

Less than the smart phone. The PC it was purchased in November 2015. Because it was half price at the time sale of Amazon, impulse buying without any purpose. When you try to use to try while you are out to repair the main PC, Web, of course, to the movie is seen, in use as a sub-PC because Nikon NX-D was also moving.

This is a custom gaming computer that I built for a friend. The case is a Cougar Conquer, which looks awesome, but makes the build a bit more difficult. The pipes in the computer are part of the custom loop water cooling system; each one was bent by hand. The symbol on the right is a dokkeabi, a mischievous spirit in Korean legend. This build was challenging, but a lot of fun, and I'm very happy with how it turned out!
