The Doon School Weekly Saturday, September 13|Issue No
ESTABLıSHED ın 1936 The Doon School Weekly Saturday, September 13|Issue No. 2383 Regulars Unqoutes Interview Reports 2 2 3 4 A “Chucksessful” Moment Chaitanya Kediyal reports on the recently concluded Annual Inter-School Chuckerbutty English Debates. The 58th Annual Chuckerbutty Memorial Inter-School English Debates began on the 5th of September, 2014. There were thirteen participating teams in addition to the host team. This year the competition reached a whole new level, and the House was treated to both high-quality speeches and witty remarks. The format of the competition, as with previous years, began with a preliminary round held in the Oxford format. Two participants from each team spoke for and against the motion. The preliminary motion this year was “This House Will Not Return The Ring To Mordor,” a reference to Tolkien's “Lord of the Rings.” The motion was subject to a wide-range of interpretations, leading to discussions on nuclear power, yin-yang, and even links to Germany! The crux of the preliminary debate was the constant tussle between good and evil: whether in every good there must be evil, and vice-versa. Another analogy that came up often during the proceedings was that such God-like power cannot be given to people who do not possess God-like morals and values. The following day promised to be even more taxing for the debaters, with two very different rounds in one single day . First, the quarter-finals were held in the Parliamentary format, which has an interesting procedure at Chandbagh. The two speakers from each team were split up and paired with speakers from different schools on the basis of pools and rankings. -

Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic an Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi
Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic An Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi © copyright 2019 by Andrew Fraknoi. All rights reserved. Used with permission. Borresen: At Uranienborg Cage: Atlas Eclipticalis Glass: Orion Connections between astronomy and music have been proposed since the time of the ancient Greeks. This annotated listing of both classical and popular music inspired by astronomy restricts itself to music that has connections to real science -- not just an astronomical term or two in the title or lyrics. For example, we do not list Gustav Holst’s popular symphonic suite The Planets, because it draws its inspiration from the astrological, and not astronomical, characteristics of the worlds in the solar system. Similarly, songs like Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” or the Beatles’ “Across the Universe” just don’t contain enough serious astronomy to make it into our guide. When possible, we give links to a CD and a YouTube recording or explanation for each piece. The music is arranged in categories by astronomical topic, from asteroids to Venus. Additions to this list are most welcome (as long as they follow the above guidelines); please send them to the author at: fraknoi {at} fhda {dot} edu Table of Contents Asteroids Meteors and Meteorites Astronomers Moon Astronomy in General Nebulae Black Holes Physics Related to Astronomy Calendar, Time, Seasons Planets (in General) Comets Pluto Constellations Saturn Cosmology SETI (Search for Intelligent Life Out There) Earth Sky Phenomena Eclipses Space Travel Einstein Star Clusters Exoplanets Stars and Stellar Evolution Galaxies and Quasars Sun History of Astronomy Telescopes and Observatories Jupiter Venus Mars 1 Asteroids Coates, Gloria Among the Asteroids on At Midnight (on Tzadik). -

WEEKLY Saturday, February 19 ! 2011 ! Issue No
Established in 1936 The Doon School WEEKLY Saturday, February 19 ! 2011 ! Issue No. 2272 LYMPIC REGULARS O TEHELKA MAN’S ART SUMMIT 2 TOUR 3 POINT 4-5 6 Editorial TROUBLESHOOTING In today’s world, technology has become such an integral part of the teaching process, that no school would be able to impart quality education without using technical aids. The concept of ‘Smartclass’, which the School is in the process of applying is a big step towards making learning an interactive and stimulating exercise. However, one needs to take cognisance of the fact that with new technologies comes the responsibility of contsantly maintaining and upgrading them. Being The Doon School, we have the drive and the resources to implement these technologies in order to surge ahead, but there is also the need to take stock of some of our existing short-comings. It has been observed that often technological failures impede effective classroom teaching in School. These technical failures include malfunctioning computers, projectors taking too much time to start, excessive software upgrades and frequent problems with the internet connection. Through the DoonSpeak printed below, it is evident that this problem is being faced by various members of the faculty, who often have to spend several minutes each class, getting their projectors and computers to work. Some teachers have remarked that the maintenance of the hardware in their classrooms has become a part of their job description. The Sc-5 students bear witness to the time being wasted in most Math classes, trying to get the equipment to work. After several failed attempts by technicians in School, it is often the AV Squad members in class who come to the rescue. -
