Changing Scratch Interface Language.
One of the advantages with Scratch is that it has a really nice interface, it is also available in a range of different languages.
Before the last Code Club I asked the tutor who runs the group in the room next door to the IT group. While they are learning English, I decided to ask if any of his group are interested in Code Club.
I am posting this to illustrate how to change the language of the Scratch front end, so children who speak other language can access this resource easily.

Learning the R statistical language
During a recent conversation, with a member of a job seeking buddy group that I am a member of, we had a brief chat about the R programming language. This is designed and optimised to help with statistics, allows graphs to be produced from data and also integrates with other software such as LaTeX, Python and more.
Learning R is probably not difficult, the hardest part with learning something is finding the right resources to help. To this end I have found a collated a few links below.

The Links below could be useful generally if you are going to be running R on a GNU/Linux system then knowledge of the command line may be useful. I have also included a link to the study support forum.
