Bettytown Library marks opening chapter
Tomorrow (Tuesday) marks the first anniversary of
the opening of Bettystown Library with a programme of
events taking place throughout the day to celebrate the
milestone.
First opening its doors on 24th tebruary 2025,
over the past year it has become very much embedded in
the East Meath community, which had been without its
own library service for two decades.
On Friday, staff were delighted to learn that
Bettystown Library has been shortlisted as an Island of
Ireland Regional and Country Finalist for the Library of the
Year 2026, a category of the British Book Awards, which is
sponsored by DK in association with the Reading Agency.
Events to mark the first anniversary including an
exhibition of work by the 'Open Book Craft Group' one of
the very successful groups that meeting in the library.
Executive Librarian Aoife Carberry is delighted
with how the first year has gone for the library.
"We are blown away by the support we have
received. It is so lovely to get to know the different
members and organisations within the area and to work
towards the best service we can possible be for them, "she
said.
"We have been very lucky, we have had incredible
support from the community here. We've worked closely
with a number or organisations, schools and special
interest groups in the area as well. We just want to thank
the community for welcoming us as well as they have and
we look forward to continuing to work with them as the
years go by."
She spoke of how libraries are no longer quiet
hushed places but are vibrant places with a wide variety of
events and initiatives that go far beyond just borrowing
books.
"The biggest message we want to get out is that
libraries are open to everyone, everyone is welcome. We
have our books. We have plenty of events, loads of
initiatives we work on, in Meath we have STEAM kits and
backpacks to borrow, home energy kits to borrow, a huge
range of online resources, audio books, ebooks, courses
where you can upskill or develop a new hobby, language
learning courses and books in other languages."
"There is a huge wealth of things in libraries,
covering all ages and all interests."

What CLT is NOT
CLT (Communicative Language Teaching) is not
exclusively concerned with face-to-face oral communication.
The principles of CLT apply equally to reading and writing
activities that involve readers and writers engaged in the
interpretation, expression and negotiation of meaning; the
goals of CLT depend on learner needs in a given context.
CLT does not require small-group or pair work; group
tasks are seen as a way of providing increased opportunity
and motivation for communication. Finally, CLT does not
exclude a focus on metalinguistic awareness or knowledge
of rules of syntax, discourse and register appropriateness.
The essence of CLT is the engagement of leaners in
communication in order to allow them to develop their
communicative competence.

Leia o texto a seguir para responder à questão:
In the Star Trek universe, the audience occasionally gets a glimpse inside schools on the planet Vulcan. Young children stand alone in “capsules” surrounded by 360-degree digital screens. Adults walk around but do not talk to the students. Instead, each child interacts only with a sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI). Although this is not the reality in today’s classrooms on Earth, there are people for whom a vision of personalized learning conducted by artificial intelligence has considerable appeal.
Individualized learning has its place. But decades of educational research also demonstrate that learning is essentially a social endeavor. Classrooms that privilege personalized AI chatbots overlook that fact.
Generative AI is quickly coming to classrooms. If decades ago educators worldwide promoted the benefits of “One Laptop per Child”, today we may be approaching the model “one chatbot per child.” What does educational research tell us about what this model could mean for children’s learning and well-being?
During much of the 20th century, learning was understood as mainly as a matter of individual cognition. A misconception, if compared to today’s comprehension of what learning involves. Scientists now understand that apparently individual processes – such as building new knowledge – are actually social interactions with the world around us. In classrooms, this suggests that opportunities for daily personal interaction can strongly support brain health and academic learning.
Therefore, it is important to understand generative AI’s real-life impact on students.
For example: How does it feel to learn from a chatbot, day after day? How will long-term use of AI affect children’s mental health? How does AI use affect children’s relationships with each other and with their teachers? What kinds of relationships might children form with the chatbots themselves? More broadly, we could also ask: What do we, as a society, actually want children to learn?
Good teaching and learning blends social and individual processes. I see the beneficial application of any new technology in the classroom – AI or otherwise – as a way to build upon the social fabric of human learning. My concern about personalized AI tutors is how they might displace already infrequent opportunities for social interaction, further isolating children in classrooms.

The Hidden History of Women Game Designers
Educational games were all the rage in the early
ninteenth century. As the narrator of Sir Walter Scott's
1814 novel, Waverley, observed, "the history of England
is now reduced to a game at cards, the problems of
mathematics to puzzles and riddles." This bemusement
reflects the burgeoning industry of instructional card,
dice, and board games that sprang up in the late 1700s,
partly in response to changing attitudes towards juvenile
education outlined early on by the philosopher John
Locke a century before.
Women at the time were, of course, generally barred
from attending college and generally discouraged from
the pursuit of learning beyond acquiring the skills of a
governess. Yet the wave of enthusiasm for educational
games nevertheless created an opportunity for some
enterprising
women—despite significant structural
obstacles—to find an intellectual and creative outlet.
Standout figures in the history of game design include
Margaret Bryan, who directed a girl's school in
Blackheath in southeastern London. A writer on science
with a particular interest in astronomy, Bryan produced
the boardgame Science in Sport, or the Pleasures of
Astronomy in collaboration with the well-known game
publisher John Wallis.
This game, a variation on the staple of the Game of the
Goose (akin to Chutes and Ladders), requires players to
spin a teetotum and race their pieces along the board.
Most of the squares illustrate scientific phenomena,
explained in an accompanying rule booklet, but some
depict bad behavior, such as square six, which features
"The County Gaol...for those who attend to the motion of
Billiard Balls, more than to the motion of the Planets,"
and square twelve, which features "a blockhead." Landing on these meant losing a turn or worse, a player's
place on the board.
Learning the rules of music theory by rote could seem
tedious. But the subject itself—with its principles,
prohibitions, and occasional exceptions—lent itself to
gamification.
Other pioneering game designers include children's
author Alicia Catherine Mant, who also published an
astronomy-themed board game, while the ludic
inventions of the poet and schoolteacher Elizabeth
Rowse encompassed A Grammatical Game, in Rhyme,
by a Lady (1802) and Mythological Amusement (1804).
Perhaps the most creative arena for female game
designers, however, was music, and more specifically,
music theory. Among the middle and upper classes,
music was generally seen as a female accomplishment,
and teaching its rudiments to children was typically left to mothers, governesses, or schoolmistresses. Learning the
rules of music theory by rote could seem difficult and
tedious. But the subject itself—with its principles,
prohibitions, and occasional exceptions—lent itself
remarkably well to gamification.
The nineteenth century's best-known musical game
designer was the Edinburgh-based pianist and music
teacher Anne Young. In 1801, she received a royal
patent for a set of games intended to "render familiar and
impress upon the memory, the fundamental principles of
the science of music." The first British patent ever
granted for a game, it was also the only one awarded that
year to a female inventor, as David Ghere and Fred
Amram have discovered. Two years after the launch of
the Musical Games, Young, now the respectably married
Mrs.
Gunn, published a two-hundred-fifty page
companion treatise entitled An Introduction to Music,
which explained music theory fundamentals via
instructions for playing her Musical Games. The treatise
is organized as seven sections, each corresponding to a
different set of games, and includes a number of optional
variations, outlining twenty-two different games in total.
A handful of Young's Musical Games can be found in
libraries, museums, and private collections today. They're
luxury items: the boards were made of mahogany, while
most of the nearly two hundred parts in each
game—pins, dice, plates, and counters—were carved out
of ivory and ebony. Priced originally at seven guineas,
which was more than the annual wages of a laborer at
the time, this game set would have been affordable only
for the very wealthy.
Unlike earlier musical dice games, which were designed
to encourage composition, Musical Games aimed to
teach the rudiments of theory. Some of the games that
can be played on the set involve racing, with players
competing to move their pieces up and down various
configurations on the board. Others involve the
acquisition of points for correct answers, tallied with
delicate ivory counters. A child following the treatise's
progression of games would engage many of the
fundamentals of music theory, ranging from notation
through more advanced topics in harmony including
chord resolution and modulation.
Young's invention haunted musical journals throughout
the nineteenth century, resurfacing from time to time in
newspaper queries, sometimes from readers intrigued by
the warm endorsement it got from her husband John
Gunn, a distinguished Scottish music pedagogue who
wroteinstructional treatises. (In his writings, Gunn
protested "without having ever previously heard the name
of the ingenious and scientific Inventor, I was struck with
the merits of these Games.") Interestingly, the Musical
Games reappear nearly a century later in the essay
"Games of Music," published in 1907 in the
London-based magazine The Musical Times by Bertha
Harrison, who was very likely the anti-suffrage activist
also known as Ethel Bertha Harrison. Harrison was
interested in music history—her earlier writings in The
Musical Times had treated topics such as child prodigies
and historic concert venues—but it was only in her essay on musical games that she revealed her political
leanings.
In
what may be one of the earliest pieces of
ludomusicology, the study of music and games,
Harrison's essay surveys the role of musical games from
the eighteenth century to her present day. Although she
ostensibly examines musical games in general, most of
her article is dedicated to Young, whom she
characterizes as a woman "possessed of an uncommon
order of mind." Harrison describes Young's games as "so
clever and ingenious, so full of nice detail, that all the
music games of the present day seem poor in design and
clumsy in execution in comparison with it."
However, the crux of Harrison's argument appears in a
subsequent paragraph, where she struggles to put a
positive spin on the striking disparity in the quality of
games designed by women and men, writing that "is a
curious and interesting fact that, among musical games,
those invented by women are very complicated and
extraordinarily full of detail, while those invented by men
are, with very rare exceptions, quite simple and generally
adaptations from other games. From this we may draw
one of two conclusions: either that in this particular line
woman has more originality than man, or that when she
begins to invent, her mind becomes so engrossed with
details as to lose sight of the main issue, and, in the
words of the proverb, she cannot see the wood for the
trees."
Conceding that women might be intrinsically better at
musical game design, Harrison immediately undercuts
this notion with the claim that women are overly
concerned with details, and that is why their games tend
to be more complex. The stereotype of the detail-oriented
woman, as exemplified in this example, is a trope that, as
Naomi Schor reminds us, has informed and limited
understandings of female ability for centuries.
Harrison's critique notwithstanding, the nineteenth
century saw many impressive music educational games
invented by women. The 1851 Great Exhibition in London
featured Gioco di Euterpe, (a game whose name invokes
the Greek goddess of music) designed by Abelinde
Prince and "intended to assist beginners in the
knowledge of the relative value of musical characters,
and to render them good timeists." The editor of The
Girl's Own Book (1869) described a game developed by
an anonymous female friend, entitled "Sir Samuel
Semibreve," which taught sight-singing and could be
ordered from a music shop in Middlesex.
Across the Atlantic, Abbie T. Hays, principal of a music
school in Wichita, Kansas, filed a patent in 1895 for a
"musical game device" designed to teach notation with
pictures depicting the words spelled out by note-names
(think B-A-G or B-E-E). Later that year, Sarah W.
Featherstone, a schoolteacher in Toledo, Ohio, filed a
patent for Nota Bene, which used a spinning wheel to
teach children rhythm. And in 1897, the enterpreneurial
Evelyn Fletcher of Toronto filed both Canadian and US
patents for a Music Block Game. Her "Fletcher Music
Method" would later be endorsed by luminaries such as John Philip Sousa and Hugo Riemann, and it was highly
popular with schoolteachers. This is just a small selection
of the names and devices that pop out of the archive.
In my experience searching historical patent records, one
is more likely to come across games designed by women
than by men. Bertha Harrison seems to have gotten that
right, at least!
Today, using gamification to teach music seems like a
no-brainer. Indeed, many music videogames have
become wildly popular—think instrument-based rhythm
games like Guitar Hero. While these games generally
teach synchronization, there are also plenty of music
theory games available to try online, such as ToneGym,
Solfege Story, or Chet — Ear Training. Although these
modern creations would have been unthinkable a
hundred years ago, these games are still part of an
unusual—and unusually female—tradition.

AI teachers and cybernetics - what could the world look like
in 2050?
Laura Cress - Technology reporter
The last 25 years has seen some mind-bending
technological changes. At the start of the century, most
computers connected to the internet with noisy dial-up
connections, Netflix was an online DVD rental company, and
the vast majority of people hadn't even heard of a smartphone.
Fast forward two and a half decades, and innovations in AI,
robotics and much else besides are emerging at an incredible
rate. So we decided to ask experts what the next 25 years could
bring. Here are their predictions for the technology we'll be
using by 2050 - and how it could reshape our lives.
Merging humans and machines
Science fiction set in the 2050s is full of examples of
humans using technological enhancements to feel fitter, happier
and more productive. In the 2000 hit game Deus Ex - set in 2052
- the player can inject themselves with tiny robots called
“nanites”. These microscopic robots manipulate matter on
atomic levels, giving superhuman abilities such as enhanced
speed and the ability to see in the dark. It sounds like something
from the distant future, but nanotechnology - engineering at a
scale of millionths of a millimetre - is already used in lots of
everyday real-life tech. In fact, it is powering the way you are
reading these very words right now - every smartphone or
computer is run by a central chip made up of billions of tiny
transistors - electrical components built on a nanoscale to speed
up data processing. Professor Steven Bramwell at the London
Centre for Nanotechnology told the BBC by 2050 we should
expect the lines between machines, electronics and biology to
be “significantly blurred”. That means we could see
nanotechnology implants by then - but more to “monitor your
health or aid communication” rather than to appear invisible, as
in Deus Ex. Medicine could also make common use of
machines at a nanometre scale to “deliver drugs to exactly
where they need to go”, said Professor Bramwell. Cybernetics
professor Kevin Warwick is equally interested in studying
augmentations, going one step further than most. In 1998 he
became the first human to have a microchip implanted into his
nervous system, earning him the title “Captain Cyborg”.
Professor Warwick believes by 2050, advancements in
cybernetics - the science studying the links between natural and
mechanical systems - could lead to trailblazing treatments for
diseases. He predicts the use of “deep brain electronic
stimulation” as a partial treatment for some conditions such as
schizophrenia, rather than medicine. He adds it is likely we'll
see more cybernetic enhancements of the kind he has already
trialled himself, so that “your brain and body can be in different
places”. And what if we wanted to test out how the latest
enhancement, or even new diet worked on our bodies, without
any risks of experiencing the side effects? Professor Roger
Highfield, Science Director of the Science Museum, believes
“digital twins” - virtual versions of a physical object, updated
using real time data - could become a regular feature in our
lives. He imagines a world where each of us could have
“thousands of simplified twins”, using them to explore how
“different medications or lifestyle changes affect your unique
biology”. In other words, we could preview our futures before
we live them.
The next generation of AI
Many technology firms, including Google and IBM, are
currently locked in a multi-billion dollar race to revolutionise
how we push fields like AI even further - in the form
of quantum computing. Quantum computers are machines
which can do very complex calculations at incredibly fast
speeds - for example, simulating molecular interactions to
design new drugs faster. In January 2025, Jensen Huang - boss
of the leading chip firm Nvidia - said he believed “very useful”
quantum computing would come in 20 years. AI itself will
undoubtedly continue to loom large in our society as we journey
towards the half century mark. Futurist and author Tracey
Follows, who helped write a White Paper on UK education in
2050, believes learning will take place across “virtual and
physical realities” using AI teachers which “adjust in real time”.
Rather than textbooks, she predicts children will use
“immersive simulations”. Meanwhile, education will be less
standardised, with each child's individual DNA or biometric
data studied to understand how they learn best.

“nanites”. These microscopic robots manipulate matter on
atomic levels, giving superhuman abilities such as enhanced
speed and the ability to see in the dark. It sounds like something
from the distant future, but nanotechnology - engineering at a
scale of millionths of a millimetre - is already used in lots of
everyday real-life tech. In fact, it is powering the way you are
reading these very words right now - every smartphone or
computer is run by a central chip made up of billions of tiny
transistors - electrical components built on a nanoscale to speed
up data processing. Professor Steven Bramwell at the London
Centre for Nanotechnology told the BBC by 2050 we should
expect the lines between machines, electronics and biology to
be “significantly blurred”. That means we could see
nanotechnology implants by then - but more to “monitor your
health or aid communication” rather than to appear invisible, as
in Deus Ex. Medicine could also make common use of
machines at a nanometre scale to “deliver drugs to exactly
where they need to go”, said Professor Bramwell. Cybernetics
professor Kevin Warwick is equally interested in studying
augmentations, going one step further than most. In 1998 he
became the first human to have a microchip implanted into his
nervous system, earning him the title “Captain Cyborg”.
Professor Warwick believes by 2050, advancements in
cybernetics - the science studying the links between natural and
mechanical systems - could lead to trailblazing treatments for
diseases. He predicts the use of “deep brain electronic
stimulation” as a partial treatment for some conditions such as
schizophrenia, rather than medicine. He adds it is likely we'll
see more cybernetic enhancements of the kind he has already
trialled himself, so that “your brain and body can be in different
places”. And what if we wanted to test out how the latest
enhancement, or even new diet worked on our bodies, without
any risks of experiencing the side effects? Professor Roger
Highfield, Science Director of the Science Museum, believes
“digital twins” - virtual versions of a physical object, updated
using real time data - could become a regular feature in our
lives. He imagines a world where each of us could have
“thousands of simplified twins”, using them to explore how
“different medications or lifestyle changes affect your unique
biology”. In other words, we could preview our futures before
we live them.
The next generation of AI
Many technology firms, including Google and IBM, are
currently locked in a multi-billion dollar race to revolutionise
how we push fields like AI even further - in the form
of quantum computing. Quantum computers are machines
which can do very complex calculations at incredibly fast
speeds - for example, simulating molecular interactions to
design new drugs faster. In January 2025, Jensen Huang - boss
of the leading chip firm Nvidia - said he believed “very useful”
quantum computing would come in 20 years. AI itself will
undoubtedly continue to loom large in our society as we journey
towards the half century mark. Futurist and author Tracey
Follows, who helped write a White Paper on UK education in
2050, believes learning will take place across “virtual and
physical realities” using AI teachers which “adjust in real time”.
Rather than textbooks, she predicts children will use
“immersive simulations”. Meanwhile, education will be less
standardised, with each child's individual DNA or biometric
data studied to understand how they learn best.

AI teachers and cybernetics - what could the world look like
in 2050?
Laura Cress - Technology reporter
The last 25 years has seen some mind-bending
technological changes. At the start of the century, most
computers connected to the internet with noisy dial-up
connections, Netflix was an online DVD rental company, and
the vast majority of people hadn't even heard of a smartphone.
Fast forward two and a half decades, and innovations in AI,
robotics and much else besides are emerging at an incredible
rate. So we decided to ask experts what the next 25 years could
bring. Here are their predictions for the technology we'll be
using by 2050 - and how it could reshape our lives.
Merging humans and machines
Science fiction set in the 2050s is full of examples of
humans using technological enhancements to feel fitter, happier
and more productive. In the 2000 hit game Deus Ex - set in 2052
- the player can inject themselves with tiny robots called
“nanites”. These microscopic robots manipulate matter on
atomic levels, giving superhuman abilities such as enhanced
speed and the ability to see in the dark. It sounds like something

In Brazil, four in ten teenagers face school bullying
In Brazil, four out of ten students aged 13 to 17 say they have already been
victims of bullying, and 27.2 percent in this age group have suffered some
form of humiliation two or more times.
The data, released this week, are based on testimonies collected in 2024
in schools across Brazil by the Brazilian government’s statistics agency
IBGE as part of the National School Health Survey (PeNSE).
Compared to the previous survey, conducted in 2019, there was a 0.7
percentage point increase in the total number of students who reported
having suffered bullying. The proportion of students who experienced it at
least twice rose by more than 4 percentage points, Marco Andreazzi, the
research manager, emphasized.
“Bullying is already characterized as something persistent, intermittent…
And here we observe an upward trend, indicating that more students have
begun to experience repeated situations of violence,” Andreazzi said.
The researcher stressed that “the number of those who suffer bullying
remains practically the same; however, the persistence and intensity of the
episodes have increased.”
Appearance, race, gender
Bullied students told researchers that their facial features or hair were the
main targets of bullying, accounting for 30.2 percent of cases.
Next is body appearance, accounting for 24.7 percent, followed by bullying
related to color or race, reported by 10.6 percent.
“There is also a high percentage - 26.3 percent - of students who say the
bullying had no reason. That is, many of those who suffer do not know
why, and this is natural, since bullying occurs collectively and the victim
does not necessarily perceive a reason for it. On the contrary, they feel
completely wronged,” the research manager noted.
The research found that girls are the most affected - 43.3 percent have
experienced bullying, compared to 37.3 percent of boys.
Furthermore, 30.1 percent of female adolescent students reported feeling
humiliated by teasing from classmates two or more times. This proportion
is nearly 6 percentage points higher than among male students.
Profile of the aggressors
Data on those who commit bullying show an inverse pattern: 13.7 percent
of students reported having engaged in some form of violence - 16.5
percent of boys and 10.9 percent of girls.
IBGE also asked about the reasons for the aggression, and once again,
facial features, hair, body type, and skin color or race were the most
frequently cited.
However, some significant differences emerged in relation to victims’
reports. For example, 12.1 percent of perpetrators said they engaged in
bullying because of their classmates’ gender or sexual orientation, while
only 6.4 percent of victims identified this as a motive for the violence.
A similar pattern emerged regarding disability: while 7.6 percent of
perpetrators acknowledged engaging in bullying for this reason, only 2.6
percent of victims associated the attacks with this characteristic.
For researchers, this may indicate that many victims prefer to remain silent
about the circumstances for fear of being stigmatized.

'It's Happening': Daniel Johns Drops More Teases
After Making Shock Appearance at Silverchair
Tribute Show
Daniel Johns has been sharing cryptic messages in
recent months, and fans are only asking more questions
The iconic Australian musician has been sharing cryptic
messages in recent months, and fans are only asking
more questions on the back of his latest social media
post.
In clips shared to the Silverchair frontman's Instagram,
captioned "It's happening", it was revealed that Johns
made a surprise appearance at the soundcheck of local
band The Lizards' show earlier this year at Little Bosa in
Port Elliot, South Adelaide. The band were playing
Silverchair's debut album Frogstomp in full to celebrate
the record's 30th anniversary.
Per the video, Johns "just rocks up at soundcheck,
played with The Lizards for a bit, did a jam, and it was
just really odd", before returning later in the night for the
gig. He is believed to have shown up quietly as the show
started as "Dan didn't want to freak anyone out" and
watched from the kitchen: "Then Dan just disappeared.
Just vanished. It was so trippy, but it happened. I filmed a
bit on my phone because I knew no one would believe
me. It was crazy."
It comes after Johns posted a black-and-white Polaroid
on his Instagram in June, paired with short clips of
himself tearing through a frantic guitar piece. The
captions read: "5 Minute Warning," "Stand 'em up against
the wall," and "This concludes the intermission — see
you in 1995. #FutureNever."
The posts continue a run of unusual updates in recent
weeks, with Johns dropping hints about "time travelling"
and slipping in references to 1994.
For Johns, 1994 is more than just a throwback. It was the
year Silverchair broke through with their debut EP
Tomorrow, whose title track topped the ARIA Charts.
Back in April, on his 46th birthday, Johns reemerged on
Instagram for the first time since October 2023, writing: "I
have to go back in time to finalise something."
Silverchair celebrated the Frogstomp anniversary with a
special event in Sydney in March, though Johns was not
in attendance.
In 2023, his Silverchair bandmates Ben Gillies and Chris
Joannou teamed up to release the memoir Love & Pain,
which covered the rise of Silverchair as a burgeoning trio
from Newcastle to one of the world's biggest acts.
At the time, Johns pushed for the removal of a two-part
Australian Story documentary from ABC iView ahead of
the book's release, claiming he had not cleared the rights
to Silverchair songs being used in the programme.
"I was and remain incredibly supportive of them telling
their story," Johns wrote on Instagram.
"I was asked at the end of filming to be interviewed about
their contribution to the band and although I wished them
all the best, I respectfully declined for one reason.
"I haven't been involved in the book nor am I aware of the
contents. I've asked on many occasions to read the book
but haven't been sent a copy, consequently I was
uncomfortable being interviewed to help promote it."
Johns' last offering of new music came in 2022 with his
second studio album, FutureNever, which also hit #1 in
Australia and picked up ARIA, APRA and AIR Award
nominations.

In the passive voice, the focus shifts from who
performs the action to what receives it. To
transform an active sentence into a passive one,
the object of the active sentence becomes the
subject; the verb is formed with the appropriate
tense of the verb "to be" + the past participle of
the main verb; and the original subject (the
agent) may be introduced by "by," when
relevant. The verb tense of the active sentence
must be preserved in the passive construction.
Consider the following sentence in the active voice:
"The manager approved the new project last week."
Mark the alternative that correctly transforms the sentence above into the passive voice.
Consider the following sentence in the active voice:
