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.

Tablet is a traditional scottish confectionary famous for inducing tooth decay and heart attacks in young and old alike. My grandad taught me to make it when I was nine, and yesterday I made a batch for Christmas - the first time I've done so for a few years.
Sweeter and crumblier than fudge, it is incredibly unhealthy, consisting basically of milk, sugar and butter only. Unless you live in Scotland, any tablet you come across for sale is likely to be disappointing due to the use of inferior ingredients and preservatives. This is a shame, because the glory of tablet remains known only to a few.
The most authentic recipe I can find online is here: www.scottishrecipes.co.uk/tablet.htm. There are many others, and many variations, but you won't go wrong if you stick to this one.
Anyway - far too busy for photos today, but then I saw Brian's shot of tablet and thought I'd copy his idea, so here's some of the batch I made yesterday, properly exalted by the addition of Christmas tree lights for Cliché Saturday and to fit into ODC's Apotheosis theme.
Happy Cliché Saturday and Merry Christmas everyone!
I'm sick and under medication for a week.
I'm still gonna try to flickr... post and comments on your stream than lay down and look really sick... I'll try.

PC Kenneth MacKenzie and PC Duncan Campbell (SEE UPDATE below) - These two officers died on military service in the Great War. A marble plaque was erected by their colleagues following the following motion at the meeting of the Inverness Burgh Police Joint Branch Board of the Scottish Police Federation held on 19 February 1924:
"PC (Donald) Mackenzie proposed the erection of a Marble Tablet, or some such memorial, to commemorate the names of Constable Mackenzie and Constable D. Campbell, who fell in the late war. This was seconded by PC K. MacLeod and agreed to."
The tablet would have stood proudly within the former Inverness Burgh Police Office at Castle Wynd. In preparation for that building's demolition in the late 1950s, the tablet was removed (and either then or while "temporarily stored") it sustained damage - breaking into two across where the laurel wreaths are on either side. Thankfully the two pieces still fit perfectly back together. Since then the tablet has remained in storage, initially at the "temporary" (1960-1974) Farraline Park Police Station and then at Police HQ at Old Perth Road (both the old building, opened in 1974 and its successor on the same site in 2009).
Recently, thanks to the efforts of Chief Superintendent Julian Innes (then Northern Constabulary Operational Commander, and now Highlands & Islands Divisional Commander) and Mr Peter Pratt and Mr Jim Kelday, Building Maintenance Officers at Police HQ, Inverness, the tablet has finally returned to the light of day. It now is sited in front of the Police Scotland Divisional HQ (previously northern Constabulary HQ) in Inverness. It is still broken but hopefully this can be rectified.
For comparison, I have edited out the breakage in one of the two images to show how it would have looked originally.
The wording reads:
(At the top of the tablet - between the two dates - is the coat of arms of the Royal Burgh of Inverness, which was also the cap badge of the Burgh force at the time)
1914 (coat of arms) 1918
TO THE MEMORY OF
CONSTABLES
DUNCAN CAMPBELL
AND
KENNETH MACKENZIE
OF THE INVERNESS BURGH POLICE
WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
ERECTED BY THEIR POLICE COMRADES
Note: Unfortunately, so many soldiers and sailors with those names fell in the First World War that – in the absence of further details – it has not (so far) been possible to identify from the CWGC
Commonwealth War Graves Commission) database when and where these officers fell. Unfortunately, the officers’ details are not on record – the surviving Personnel Register post-dating their service. It has obviously been re-written in the 1920s to take account only of those officers then serving, and the previous volume was likely destroyed a long time ago. As ever, my enquires are however continuing.
It is a quirk of fate that the memorial now lies where it does, since the current Police HQ – which is located nowadays well within the boundaries of the huge conurbation which is the “City of Inverness” – is located far outside the former Royal Burgh of Inverness. When built in 1974, the HQ was right on the edge of the latter Town boundary, but Inverness has long been the fastest growing town/city in the UK. A century ago however, the Inverness-shire Constabulary had a station (Culcabock) closer to the Burgh‘s then boundary than HQ currently lies. Culcabock village has of course long since been swallowed up by urban Inverness.
At least, almost one century after their supreme sacrifice, the fallen officers are again publicly remembered. (My sincere thanks again to Messrs Innes, Kelday and Pratt for their action in this respect)
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.”

I'm abusing the nubs on my Wacom pen today. I already write hard, my tablet is still good to me though. How in the world did I get anything done before without a tablet? The Patch Tool and Wacom Tablet were made for each other! #PhotoshopFlow
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.

Tablet depicting Agathodaemon
In Greek mythology, Agathodaemon or Agathos Daimon was the spirit of vineyards and fields, providing luck, health and wisdom. He was one of the daemons in the classical sense of the term, which should not be confused with the modern-day use of the word. In classical mythology, daemons were benevolent nature spirits similar to ghosts that also served as guardian spirits. Although Agathodaemon did not have any significant part in Greek mythology, he was quite popular in Greek folk religion, honouring him in feasts and symposia.

Though rather heavy in comparison with the tablets available today, this model is far more robust, has lasted far longer than any tablets sold today. An added bonus is that with this model you will never have to worry about the battery running out !

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.

Just one of over 700 that have been found, restored and translated.
