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.

As I waited two hours while Janice was in radiology (a routine procedure), my tablet crashed more times than I cared to count. Since then, I've bought a new one. Here I am, waiting for one of the reboots of the one that was dying.
Happy Selfie Sunday to you, with no electronic troubles!

A Pablo le ha gustado el iPad que le prestaba un amigo mío, y lo maneja con total soltura... no, si al final será ésa la excusa perfecta.
Seems tablets are indeed appearing at the end of the tunnel? Linked to an upcoming post on personalizemedia.com - An updated chart (and post/article) looking at the evolution of key platforms towards a convergent device on which transmedia becomes more about service and channel switching than crossing devices or platforms

遗址出土打制的石制品共532件，原料以燧石为主，有是核、石片、石器等。石器以石片为主，加工方向以正向加工为主，类型有砸器、刮削器、尖状器和斧形器等。其中刮削器占76%，尖状器虽少但加工精细。斧形器似为向新石器文化转化的象征。磨制石器27件，加工精致，有石斧、石锛、石纺轮、石刮刀、石箭(矛)头、小石块等8种。石锛数量多，形制规整，以长形斜刃具代表性。骨器79件，除1件残的磨制骨刮刀外，均为打制骨器，有骨锥和骨铲。其中豪猪牙上的三道刻痕可能是刻划符。陶器除圆饼式及圆珠纺轮各1件外，其余全是器物碎片。计1494片。其厚度不匀，厚者达1.2厘米，薄者仅0.2厘米，火候高，质地坚硬。夹砂灰陶约占70%，夹砂黑陶占30%，泥质类陶极少。夹砂陶以夹细砂为主。陶片纹饰复杂多样，有粗细绳纹、方格纹、锥刺纹、刻划纹和附加锥纹等。陶片中有3片彩陶，其中有1片是在泥质灰陶的内外施以粉澄色陶衣，再于外表绘有两条平行的红色条带。这是贵州首次发现，也是贵州迄今最早的彩陶记录。
遗址具有新、旧石器地层叠压，文化内涵丰富。彩陶的出现更引人瞩目，但中、晚期文化差异颇大。这些对研究贵州新、旧石器文化的相互关系和时代延续问题具有重要的意义。

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.

2 lbs (just shy of 1 kilogram) caster sugar (or superfine sugar)
2 tablespoons (30 ml) golden syrup (light corn syrup may be substituted)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 ounces (56 g) unsalted butter
3 ounces (88 ml) water
1 teaspoon (5 ml) REAL vanilla extract
1. place the water and the butter together in a large sauce pan or pot and melt butter over low heat, Then add the condensed milk and vanilla.
2. Increase heat to medium and slowly add the sugar. Stir constantly over medium heat until boiling. Once the mixture has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low.
3. Boil about 20 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning!
4. Remove from heat and beat well and pour onto a well buttered jelly roll pan (cookie sheet with sides) - a pan that is approx. 15" X 10" (38 X 25.5 cm ) works the best with this recipe.
5. Score when cool; cut when cold.
