It has been a couple of weeks since the pupils have regained their rightful place in the classroom. In Junior School, the Years 3 and 4 have been hard at work settling well into new routines within a short amount of time.
This is their first foray into Junior School and on top of getting used to a new environment, they have also had to adapt to the use of a different type of technology: the portable computer. The first lessons with the Year 3 classes have been aimed at creating and reinforcing good computer-use habits. After successfully learning how to properly collect and return the computers to their allocated place in the trolley, we went over how to sign in and out of the school network; learning about the importance of keeping passwords secret and safe. We moved on to the use of Google Chrome and its Omnibox, before spending some time breaking down the parts of a website and its main code: HTML. The pupils were happy to discover how a webpage is made and how complex it is behind the scenes.
After going through a refresher course on Computer Science expectations, pupils moved on to the creation of a Scratch project spanning multiple lessons. They went over concepts such as using code to change a sprite’s costume or to make sprites react to input and how to add sound to a sprite. All in an effort to create a musical piece which reacts depending on user input. Creativity serves as the leading theme in lessons, where each student expresses their ideas via the use of different costumes, colours, sounds and motions. Each class has been attributed anonymised Scratch user accounts which are part of private Classrooms, so that each project is shared within the specific class.
The teacher circulates around the class during the lesson, having given instructions at the beginning, made them available on the VLE and reminding them to the group at regular intervals. Some pupils have been very helpful in supporting their classmates with the collection and return of their computers and headphones.

Tá sé cúpla seachtain ó tháinig na daltaí ar ais go dtí a n-áit cheart sa seomra ranga. Sa Bhunscoil, tá na Bliana 3 agus 4 ag obair go crua ag socrú go maith i ngnáthamh nua laistigh de thréimhse ghearr ama.
Is é seo a gcéad dul isteach sa Bhunscoil agus chomh maith le bheith ag baint úsáide as timpeallacht nua, bhí orthu dul i ngleic le cineál eile teicneolaíochta: an ríomhaire in-aistrithe. Tá sé mar aidhm ag na chéad ceachtanna le ranganna Bliain 3 dea-chleachtais úsáide ríomhaire a chruthú agus a threisiú. Tar éis dúinn foghlaim go rathúil conas na ríomhairí a bhailiú agus a chur ar ais go dtí a n-áit leithdháilte sa charr, chuaigh muid ar aghaidh ar conas logáil isteach agus amach as líonra na scoile; ag foghlaim faoi thábhacht na pasfhocail a choinneáil faoi rún agus sábháilte. Chuaigh muid ar aghaidh go dtí úsáid Google Chrome agus a Omnibox, sula ndearna muid roinnt ama ag briseadh síos codanna láithreán gréasáin agus a phríomhchód: HTML. Bhí na daltaí sásta a fháil amach conas a dhéantar leathanach gréasáin agus cé chomh casta atá sé taobh thiar den scáileán.
Tar éis dóibh dul trí chúrsa athnuachana ar ionchais Eolaíochta Ríomhaireachta, chuaigh daltaí ar aghaidh chuig tionscadal Scratch a chruthú a chuimsíonn roinnt ceachtanna. Chuaigh siad thar coincheapa mar úsáid cód chun éadaí sprite a athrú nó sprites a dhéanamh freagairt do ionchur agus conas fuaim a chur le sprite. Gach iarracht chun píosa ceoil a chruthú a imoibríonn ag brath ar ionchur an úsáideora. Is é an chruthaitheacht an téama is mó a bhaineann leis na ceachtanna, áit a léiríonn gach mac léinn a gcuid smaointe trí úsáid a bhaint as cóistiméireachtaí, dathanna, fuaimeanna agus gluaiseachtaí éagsúla. Tá cuntas úsáideoirí Scratch gan ainm curtha i leith gach rang atá mar chuid de Chláir Cheolchoirmeacha príobháideacha, ionas go mbeidh gach tionscadal roinnte laistigh den rang sonrach.
Tá an múinteoir ag scaipeadh timpeall an aicme le linn na ranganna, tar éis dó treoracha a thabhairt ag an tús, iad a chur ar fáil ar an VLE agus iad a chur i gcuimhne don ghrúpa ag eatraimh rialta. Bhí roinnt daltaí an-chabhrach ag tacú lena gcomhghleacaithe lena gcuid ríomhairí agus cluasáin a bhailiú agus a thabhairt ar ais.


by John Farmer Taylor
Mokane had its beginning as St. Aubert, sometime in the period between 1870 to 1890, as a small group of houses and a store on the banks of the Missouri River, about a mile from its present location. Mr. Jim Dickenson was born in one of these houses at St. Aubert about 1870, and he made the comment to ancestors of local residents that he had no birthplace, because his house was washed into the Missouri River by the eroding of its banks. Because of the washing away of these homes, one house remaining was moved into the river bottom by Mr. Sam Moore. This house was known by local residents as the Johnnaber place; it was on the sand plant road going to the river. The Jonnabers moved to this farm prior to 1909 and lived there many years. This historic house was torn down in the early 1980's.
The first house in the present location of Mokane was a brick, two story house with a basement, known as the Smith place. When it was built prior to the Civil War, it was the farm house of most of the land on which Mokane is now built. The Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railroad took possession of the rail lines to St. Louis on July 1, 1893. After this date, a frame, two story school house was built and the Methodist and Christian Churches wer° also built. The Catholic Church bought the church building owned by the Presbyterians in 1908. The division of the "Katy" railroad was brought to Mokane in 1907 and many people came here to live. Many homes were built on River Street and other locations in town by the local banker, Mr. W. R. Wilkerson. A newspaper was established in 1894, known then as the Herald Post, which later became known as the Mokane Missourian and was published and edited by the Hodges family from 1901 to 1971. From 1907 to the late 1920's, Mokane was a prosperous town having a bank, a drug store, three general stores, a newspaper, three physicians, a dentist, two blacksmith shops, and barber shops. The business houses lined Main Street, Fulton Avenue, all the way from Broad Street to the railroad on both sides. The town at this time had a population of about 1,000 people.
After the late 1920's, when the Katy division left Mokane, the population dropped to about half, or around 500 people; these were the years of 1930's and 1940's. During this period the town also had a theater and at least two filling stations. Mokane has always been a rural community and has served in many ways the needs of farm families in the area for many years. Since the 1950's the population of Mokane has steadily dropped to its present number of about 360 residents. Though the business and population of Mokane has decreased, the residents are still proud of their town and their homes and show an interest in making it a nice place to live. Mokane owns its own water system, and many residents are working to bring about a federally approved sewer system for all residents. These residents are looking for new and better ways to make Mokane a pleasant place for all who like to live in a small town near the banks of the Missouri River.

ag John Farmer Taylor
Bhí tús ag Mokane mar St. Aubert, uair éigin sa tréimhse idir 1870 agus 1890, mar ghrúpa beag tithe agus siopa ar bhruach Abhainn Missouri, thart ar míle óna shuíomh reatha. Rugadh an tUasal Jim Dickenson i gceann de na tithe seo ag St. Aubert thart ar 1870, agus rinne sé an trácht ar shinsir na n-áitritheoirí áitiúla nach raibh aon áit breithe aige, toisc gur thit a theach isteach i Abhainn Missouri de bharr éadóisiú a bhainc. Mar gheall ar na tithe seo a ní amach, aistríodh an tUasal Sam Moore teach amháin a bhí fágtha isteach i mbonn na habhann. Bhí an teach seo ar eolas ag muintir na háite mar an áit Johnnaber; bhí sé ar an mbóthar plandaí gaineamh ag dul go dtí an abhainn. D'aistrigh na Jonnabers chuig an bhfeirm seo roimh 1909 agus bhí cónaí orthu ann le blianta fada. Bhí an teach stairiúil seo díghrádú go luath sna 1980idí.
Ba teach de chnoc, dhá shraith le bunstáisiún, a bhí ar an gcéad teach i láthair láthair Mokane, ar a dtugtar an áit Smith. Nuair a tógadh é roimh an gCogadh Cathartha, ba é teach feirme an chuid is mó den talamh ar a bhfuil Mokane tógtha anois. Ghlac an Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railroad seilbh ar na línte iarnróid go St. Louis ar an 1 Iúil, 1893. Tar éis an dáta seo, tógadh teach scoile dhá shraith agus bhí Eaglaisí Meitéadaigh agus Críostaí tógtha freisin. Cheannaigh an Eaglais Chaitliceach an foirgneamh eaglais a bhí faoi úinéireacht na Presbiterians i 1908. Tugadh roinn na iarnróid "Katy" go Mokane i 1907 agus tháinig go leor daoine anseo chun cónaí orthu. Tógadh go leor tithe ar River Street agus áiteanna eile sa bhaile ag an mbaincéir áitiúil, an tUasal W. R. Wilkerson. Bunaíodh nuachtán i 1894, ar a dtugtar an Herald Post ansin, a d'éirigh ar a dtugtar an Mokane Missourian ina dhiaidh sin agus a d'fhoilsigh agus a eagarthóil an teaghlach Hodges ó 1901 go 1971. Ó 1907 go dtí deireadh na 1920idí, ba baile rathúil é Mokane a raibh banc ann, siopa cógaisíochta, trí siopa ginearálta, nuachtán, trí dhochtúir, fiaclóir, dhá siopa smid, agus siopaí friochta. Bhí na tithe gnó ar líne ar Main Street, Fulton Avenue, ar an mbealach go léir ó Broad Street go dtí an iarnród ar an dá thaobh. Bhí daonra thart ar 1,000 duine sa bhaile ag an am seo.
Tar éis dheireadh na 1920idí, nuair a d'fhág an roinn Katy Mokane, thit an daonra go dtí thart ar leath, nó thart ar 500 duine; is iad seo na blianta 1930 agus 1940. Le linn na tréimhse seo bhí amharclann agus dhá stáisiún breosla ar a laghad sa bhaile. Is pobal tuaithe í Mokane i gcónaí agus tá sí ag freastal ar riachtanais na dteaghlaigh feirmeoirí sa cheantar ar go leor bealaí le blianta fada. Ó na 1950idí i leith, tá daonra Mokane tar éis titim go seasta go dtí an líon reatha de thart ar 360 áitritheoir. Cé go bhfuil laghdú tagtha ar ghnó agus ar dhaonra Mokane, tá na cónaitheoirí bródúil fós as a mbaile agus a dtithe agus léiríonn siad suim i n-áit mhaith a dhéanamh chun cónaí ann. Tá córas uisce féin ag Mokane, agus tá go leor cónaitheoirí ag obair chun córas séarachais a cheadaítear go cónaidhme a thabhairt don phobal go léir. Tá na cónaitheoirí seo ag lorg bealaí nua agus níos fearr chun Mokane a dhéanamh ina áit taitneamhach do gach duine a bhfuil sé áthas orthu cónaí i mbaile beag in aice le cóstaí Abhainn Missouri.

DECREASE SCREEN TIME AND INCREASE ENERGY OUT
What’s the Session All About?
Session 4 introduces strategies to increase ENERGY OUT by increasing physical activity and reducing screen time. Screen time is time with TV and DVDs, video games, and recreational computer use (in other words, computer time for anything but school or work). of the energy balance equation. Participants will learn the importance of physical activity and will discuss ways to increase the amount of physical activity that they and their families get daily.
By the end of this lesson, the participants will be able to:
- Assess the amount of time family members spend in front of screens (TV, DVD, Computer, etc.)
- List three ways the family can limit screen time to no more than 2 hours per day.
- List three physical active things they can do instead of screen time.
We encourage you to bring your children ages 8 – 13.

It is quite interesting to know that humans can also survive on another planet. Rovers are robotic vehicles that were sent to Mars. Two rovers don’t leave their mark on this planet, there are some natural forces at work too. Indian Scientists Discovered that Mars is alive!!
In Ahmedabad, Physics Research Laboratory, scientists spotted thousands of tracks on the surface that were created by tumbling boulders. These tracks can also be used to know about recent seismic activities on Mars as humans are interested to know about this planet. And they also planned to develop colonies in future.
“Mars is currently active,” says Dr S Vijayan, who is an Assistant Professor with the Planetary Science Division at the Physical Research Laboratory, and he is also leading the research on this.
In Geophysical Research Letters, they mentioned it took almost two to four Martian years (four to eight Earth years) for those boulder tracks to vanish, whereas on Earth they are rarely maintained. These ejections and tracks by rovers are used to identify very recent surface processes on planetary surfaces.
Movement on Mars:
Regolith (Martian surface material) is thrown out in a unique pattern each time that a boulder hits the ground. It appears as if these patterns are V-shaped, with the dispersion downslope and the spacing between each bounce being non-uniform on Mars. Boulder track formation from the ejecta. A wide variety of ejecta from the Boulder Fall is visible throughout the trail. Light-coloured ejecta from multiple boulders may be seen in the numerous tracks. There is a wide range of ejecta scattered across the track. Some boulder bounces leave minor sub-tracks in the space between the bounces and ejecta. (Source: India Today)
You can also read:
Dr Vijayan said, “These tracks take a few years to disappear, which indicate that the ones we have spotted are fairly new.”
“Identification of BFE in Mars and other planetary/satellite bodies is an important piece of direct evidence for recent boulder falls within the last few decades and is a good indicator for geologically active regions,” he added.

Tá sé suimiúil go leor a fhios go bhféadfadh daoine maireachtáil ar phláinéid eile freisin. Is feithiclí róbatacha iad róbatáin a cuireadh chuig Mars. Ní fhágann dhá róbhair a gcuid marc ar an bpláinéad seo, tá roinnt fórsaí nádúrtha ag obair freisin. Fuair Eolaithe Indiach amach go bhfuil Mars beo! Tá sé!
I Ahmedabad, Físeolaíocht Taighde Saotharlann, eolaithe spotted na mílte rianta ar an dromchla a cruthaíodh ag tumbling boulders. Is féidir na rianta seo a úsáid freisin chun eolas a fháil faoi ghníomhaíochtaí seismic le déanaí ar Mars mar go bhfuil suim ag daoine a bheith ar an bpláinéad seo. Agus bhí sé beartaithe acu coilíneachtaí a fhorbairt sa todhchaí.
"Tá Mars gníomhach faoi láthair", a deir an Dr S Vijayan, atá ina Ollamh Cúnta leis an Roinn Eolaíochta Phlándaí ag an Saotharlann um Thaighde Físeach, agus tá sé i gceannas ar an taighde ar an ábhar seo freisin.
I Litreacha Taighde Geo-fheiceála, luaigh siad gur thóg sé beagnach dhá go ceithre bliana Márta (ceithre go ocht mbliana Domhanda) go raibh na rianta boulder sin ag imeacht, ach ar an Domhan is annamh a choinnítear iad. Úsáidtear na eisiúintí agus na rianta seo ag róibrithe chun próisis dromchla an-dhéanta ar dromchlaí pláinéid a aithint.
Gluaiseacht ar Mars:
Déantar Regolith (ábhar dromchla Mars) a chaitheamh amach i bpatrún uathúil gach uair a bhuaileann carraig an talamh. Is cosúil go bhfuil na patrúin seo i gcruth V, agus an scriosadh síos agus an spásáil idir gach bounce neamh-aonfhoirmeach ar Mars. Cruthaíodh rian boulder ón eisiata. Tá éagsúlacht mhór eiteacha ó Boulder Fall le feiceáil ar fud an rianta. Is féidir eisiúintí dorcha ó bhallaí móra a fheiceáil sna rianta iomadúla. Tá raon leathan de ejectas scaipthe ar fud an rianta. Fágann roinnt boulders bounces fo-sracáin bheaga sa spás idir na bounces agus an ejecta. (Foinse: India Today)
Is féidir leat a léamh freisin:
Dúirt an Dr Vijayan, "Tógann na rianta seo cúpla bliain chun dul ar neamh, rud a léiríonn go bhfuil na cinn a chonaic muid go leor nua".
"Is é an BFE a aithnítear ar Mars agus comhlachtaí pláinéadacha/satailíte eile píosa tábhachtach fianaise dhíreach maidir le titim boulder le déanaí le cúpla bliain anuas agus is táscaire maith é do réigiúin atá gníomhach go géolaíoch", a dúirt sé.


The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) has sought to improve education in collegiate mathematics. This report outlines standards set forth by the MAA to improve college mathematics education. The report is visionary in that it does not represent a distillation of current national practice in supplying college students with mathematical training. Rather it sets a standard for a quantitatively literate college graduate and suggests reasonable means for the achievement of that standard. The report makes four major points: (1) Colleges and universities should treat quantitative literacy as a thoroughly legitimate and even necessary goal for baccalaureate graduates. (2) Colleges and universities should expect every college graduate to be able to apply simple mathematical methods to the solution of real world problems. (3) Colleges and universities should devise and establish quantitative literacy programs each consisting of a foundation experience and continuation experiences and mathematics departments should provide leadership in the development of such programs. (4) Colleges and universities should accept responsibility for overseeing their quantitative literacy programs through regular assessments. Users can access all chapters of the book as well as all appendices and committee member information.

Tá Cumann Matamaiticeach Mheiriceá (MAA) ag iarraidh oideachas i matamaitic coláisteach a fheabhsú. Leagtar amach sa tuarascáil seo na caighdeáin a leagann an MAA amach chun oideachas matamaitice coláiste a fheabhsú. Tá an tuarascáil físheachtrach sa mhéid nach bhfuil sé ina dhísliú ar an gcleachtas náisiúnta reatha maidir le hoiliúint matamaiticiúil a chur ar fáil do mhic léinn coláiste. Ina áit sin, leagann sé caighdeán le haghaidh céimí coláiste atá liteartha go cainníochtúil agus molann sé bealaí réasúnacha chun an caighdeán sin a bhaint amach. Tá ceithre phointe móra sa tuarascáil: (1) Ba cheart do choláistí agus d'ollscoileanna an litearthacht chainníochtúil a mheas mar sprioc atá dlisteanach go hiomlán agus fiú riachtanach do chéimithe baicléaróide. (2) Ba cheart go mbeadh coláistí agus ollscoileanna ag súil go mbeidh gach céimí coláiste in ann modhanna simplí matamaiticiúla a chur i bhfeidhm chun fadhbanna fíor-domhanda a réiteach. (3) Ba cheart do choláistí agus d'ollscoileanna cláir litearthachta cainníochtúla a cheapadh agus a bhunú a chuimsíonn taithí bhunúsach agus taithí leanúnacha gach ceann acu agus ba cheart do ranna matamaitice ceannaireacht a dhéanamh i bhforbairt na gclár sin. (4) Ba cheart do choláistí agus do ollscoileanna freagracht a ghlacadh as maoirseacht a dhéanamh ar a gclár litearthachta cainníochtúil trí mheasúnaithe rialta.

Biome endeavors to find and demonstrate solutions, and empower communities to adopt and innovate on them in the water and sanitation sectors. The solutions Biome offers address social and environmental issues, recognizing the links in the water-energy-food nexus.
Of equal importance in its work is that it recognizes that plumbers, well diggers, sanitation and health workers, and informal sector WASH enterprises are essential in implementing these solutions. Therefore, ensuring their well-being and ensuring their capacity and knowledge is built, and their innovations are incubated, is integral to Biome’s work.
Further, Biome’s work addresses the challenges of groundwater management (India is the world’s largest groundwater user), sanitation and management of waste water and fecal sludge, resource recovery from wastes, water quality management, demand management, and equity and citizen water literacy education. Biome works on these issues in both urban and rural contexts. Biome’s experience is very rich in the urban and peri-urban contexts. Biome sees itself as a “thoughtful do tank,” acting as a practice to policy bridge.
India is heavily dependent on its groundwater and has the highest number of bore-wells in the world, numbering close to 30 million. More than 60% of India’s water supply comes from these bore-wells, with more wells being dug every day. This places an unmanageable strain on the aquifer as it is being depleted at a much higher rate than can be naturally recharged. India is already on the brink of a full-blown water crisis, with cases of acute water shortages, fluoride poisoning and other forms of water pollution becoming common, forcing people to drill deeper (thus reducing the water quality). In addition, water sources are being contaminated by a failure to properly manage the disposal of wastewater. This situation will only worsen, with rapid urbanization, the lack of water literacy, the inefficient use of water, and the development of new industries with high demand for water placing a larger strain on water resources. In the city of Bangalore, for instance, depleting surface water availability has driven demand for groundwater, which has drawn down the city’s water tables and left many bore wells dry. As a result, some residential communities across the city find themselves needing to purchase water from unregulated and expensive private entities to meet their basic needs.

Tá Biome ag iarraidh réitigh a aimsiú agus a thaispeáint, agus cumasú a thabhairt do phobail glacadh leo agus nuálaíocht a dhéanamh orthu sna hearnálacha uisce agus sláintíochta. Tá na réitigh a thairgeann Biome dírithe ar shaincheisteanna sóisialta agus comhshaoil, ag aithint naisc sa nasc uisce-fuinneamh-bhia.
Tá sé chomh tábhachtach sin ina chuid oibre go n-aithníonn sé go bhfuil píobrálaithe, tochailtithe tochailt, oibrithe sláintíochta agus sláinte, agus fiontair WASH san earnáil neamhfhoirmiúil ríthábhachtach chun na réitigh seo a chur i bhfeidhm. Dá bhrí sin, tá sé ríthábhachtach do obair Biome a chinntiú go bhfuil a gcuid dea-fhiúchas á áirithiú agus go bhfuil a gcumas agus a gcuid eolais á bhforbairt, agus go bhfuil a gcuid nuálaíochtaí á n-óstáil.
Ina theannta sin, déileálann obair Biome le dúshláin bhainistíochta uisce talún (is í an India an t-úsáideoir uisce talún is mó ar domhan), sláintíocht agus bainistíocht fuíolluisce agus sliog fecal, aisghabháil acmhainní ó dhramhaíl, bainistíocht cháilíochta uisce, bainistíocht éilimh, agus cothromas agus oideachas litearthachta uisce saoránach. Oibríonn Biome ar na saincheisteanna seo i gcomhthéacs uirbeach agus tuaithe araon. Tá taithí an-saibhir ag Biome i gcomhthéacsanna uirbeacha agus timpeall uirbeacha. Feictear go bhfuil Biome ina "tanc oibre smaointeach", ag gníomhú mar chleachtas chun brú beartais a chur ar bun.
Tá an India ag brath go mór ar a chuid uisce talún agus tá an líon is mó de na tobar-tobar sa domhan aici, ag líon beagnach 30 milliún. Tagann níos mó ná 60% d'fhorbairt uisce na hIndia ó na tobar-tobar seo, agus tá níos mó tobar á dtógáil gach lá. Cuireann sé seo brú neamhrialaithe ar an aquifer toisc go bhfuil sé á ídiú ag ráta i bhfad níos airde ná mar is féidir é a athchúrsáil go nádúrtha. Tá an India ar an imeall de ghéarchéim uisce iomlán, agus cásanna de easpa uisce géar, nimhiú flúiríde agus cineálacha eile truaillithe uisce ag éirí coitianta, ag cur iallach ar dhaoine drileáil níos doimhne a dhéanamh (agus ar an gcaighdeán uisce a laghdú). Ina theannta sin, tá foinsí uisce á ndéanamh truaillithe de bharr nach bhfuil bainistiú cuí á dhéanamh ar dhiúscairt fuíolluisce. Ní dhéanfaidh an staid seo ach dul i ngeilleagar, le hiondúchán tapa, easpa litearthachta uisce, úsáid neamhéifeachtach uisce, agus forbairt tionscail nua a bhfuil éileamh ard acu ar uisce ag cur brú níos mó ar acmhainní uisce. I gcathair Bangalore, mar shampla, tá éileamh ar uisce talún ag éilliú uisce talún, rud a d'fhág go bhfuil an chathair ag cur síos ar a chuid uisce agus go bhfuil go leor tobar ag tiormaíocht. Mar thoradh air sin, bíonn gá ag roinnt pobail cónaithe ar fud na cathrach uisce a cheannach ó eintitis phríobháideacha neamhrialta agus daor chun freastal ar a gcuid riachtanas bunúsacha.
