The Institute for Constitutional History sponsors or co-sponsors a variety of events during the academic year. Here is a partial list of upcoming and recent events:
Upcoming Events
The Institute for Constitutional History is pleased to announce a spring seminar for advanced graduate students and junior faculty. This year's seminar is entitled:
Capital as a Constitutional Issue: Land and Money, 1776 –1900
Christine Desan is the Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and the author of a new book Making Money: Coin, Currency, and the Coming of Capitalism (Oxford University Press, 2014) that seeks to decode the monetary architecture of capitalism. She is co-founder of Harvard's Program on the Study of Capitalism, an interdisciplinary project that brings together classes, resources, research funds, and advising on that subject and has taught the Program's anchoring research seminar, the Workshop on the Political Economy of Modern Capitalism, with Professor Sven Beckert (History, Harvard University) since 2005. Desan's research explores money as a legal and political project. See, e.g., "Beyond Commodification: Contract and the Credit-Based World of Modern Capitalism," in Transformation of American Law II: Essays for Morton Horwitz (2010). Earlier work focused on the adjudicative power of legislatures and sovereign immunity. Desan is on the Board of the Institute for Global Law and Policy and is an editor of the journal Eighteenth Century Studies. This year (2015–2016), she is a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
Elizabeth Blackmar is a Professor of History at Columbia University. Her scholarship focuses on the history of property relations in the U.S. Her books include Manhattan for Rent, 1785-1850 and The Park and the People: A History of Central Park, co-authored with Roy Rosenzweig. She has published articles on the history of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), the tropes of the "free rider" and "tragedy of commons" in contemporary economic and legal discourse, and the history of family trusts in the 19th century. She is currently working on a book on the history of land and capital from the colonial era to the present.
Program Content:
This seminar explores a category, capital, that is often treated as a given—wealth accumulated or money amassed and seamlessly reinvested. But the shape and character of capital have been at the center of constitutional debate throughout American history. We focus in particular on land and money, critical to state formation and capitalist development in the U.S. from the Revolutionary era to the Gilded Age. The contests to define or control each expose competing sovereignties (Native American, imperial, settler; state and federal) before and long after ratification of the Constitution. Those contests have also informed the development of political ideologies, party formation, and modes of constitutional interpretation, as well as the architecture of governmental authority.
The seminar will examine classic Constitutional cases (e.g. Chisholm v. Georgia, McCulloch v. Maryland, Fletcher v. Peck, cases on state bills of credit in the Jacksonian era, the Legal Tender cases, and Pollock v. Farmers' Loan and Trust Co.) in relation to underlying political and economic debates over the meaning of territorial and jurisdictional sovereignty; over the powers of Congress, the presidency and state legislatures to govern money and banking; and over the legitimacy of state actions to set the terms for the accumulation and/or redistribution of wealth.
Friday afternoons, 1–4 pm, March 18, April 1, 15, and 29. The seminar will meet at the New-York Historical Society, 170 Central Park West, New York City.
Application Process:
The seminar is designed for graduate students and junior faculty in history, political science, law, and related disciplines. All participants will be expected to complete the assigned readings and participate in seminar discussions. Although the Institute cannot offer academic credit directly for the seminar, students may be able to earn graduate credit through their home departments by completing an independent research project in conjunction with the seminar. Please consult with your advisor and/or director of graduate studies about these possibilities. Space is limited, so applicants should send a copy of their C.V. and a short statement on how this seminar will be useful to them in their research, teaching, or professional development. Materials will be accepted only by email at email@example.com until January 15, 2016. Successful applicants will be notified soon thereafter. For further information, please contact Maeva Marcus at (202) 994-6562 or send an email to email@example.com.
Additional Information:
There is no tuition or other charge for this seminar, though participants will be expected to acquire the assigned books on their own.

The internet is one of the best resources for anyone considering buying a van because buying vans online provides the buyer with the best selection of new and used vehicles at the most competitive prices. Some of the most respected names in the automotive industry offers vans available for purchase online. So whether the buyer is interested in checking out Mercedes vans for sale or wants to explore the variety of Peugeot vans for sale, all he needs to do is head to his computer for an enjoyable shopping experience.
In order for a prospective buyer to get the best value for his money when buying vans online, he should have a check-list ready of certain things to consider when evaluating any van model offered for sale. Determining your budgetary limits prior to shopping can help a buyer avoid spending for features and amenities that he doesn't really want or need. Ask yourself if it is essential to purchase a new van or if a used model will serve the same purpose. New vans come with the advantage of warranties that usually cover service and repair for a set amount of time, however, most used vans today also are covered by a warranty against defects for a limited amount of time after the purchase date.
Buyers should know the purposes they will be using the van for in order to determine the styles and models most appropriate for their needs. Vans are sized according to four different categories, ranging from the smallest minivans to vans based on a car chassis, pick-up vans that include a small cabin, and panel vans, the most common type in use. Keep in mind that smaller-sized vans can be more economical when it comes to fuel expenses and are easier to navigate over narrow roads. But larger vans tend to be more economical to maintain and can handle rough terrain much better than their smaller counterparts. Explore the internet for reviews about certain van models to get an idea of what current owners like and dislike about specific vans.
Once you have found two or three vans online that seem to suit your needs, make arrangements to go take a test-drive to see how they handle in an on-road experience. Check that the brakes and engine are functioning properly, find out a maintenance and repair history on the vehicle, check the condition of the tires, and find out the current mileage on the van. Consider both private sellers as well as van dealers because both can offer a wide range of options, from cheap vans for weekend excursions to more expensive vans…

Your Child's First Dental Visit
Dr. Sara Cain is committed to improving the oral health of kids through pediatric dentistry. At Lake Country Dental, we recognize that your child's first dental visit can play an important role in helping to foster positive oral health routines that will last a lifetime. That is why we take extra care to help create an enjoyable first trip to the dentist's chair for every child we treat. Our compassionate staff has extensive experience working with children, so we can help ensure that your son or daughter's first dental visit to our Saginaw, TX, dental office is as comfortable as possible. Contact our office today to schedule your child's first appointment.
Preparing for the Appointment
Visiting the dentist for the first time is a new experience for children, so it can often be overwhelming if they are unprepared. Before arriving at the office, we advise parents to first explain what a dentist is and why pediatric dental care is important. It may also be helpful to review pictures of a typical dentist's office, or show your child how to use a toothbrush. In general, you can help your child feel more confident about their first visit by demonstrating a positive attitude toward dental care, regardless of your past experiences.
On the day of the appointment, you should ensure that your child is well rested, since dental visits during normal nap time or at the end of a long day can make the experience more difficult. To help alleviate any concerns you or your child might have, we recommend that you prepare a list of questions so the dentist can answer them completely.
What to Expect During the Appointment
During the first visit, our biggest goals are to help children understand basic dentistry and prepare them for future appointments. When you and your child arrive at the office, the doctor will begin by conducting a basic dental exam. If your child feels comfortable after the exam, we will then perform simple procedures like a gentle cleaning, dental x-rays, or a fluoride treatment to help fight cavities. The dentist will also give your child his or her own toothbrush and demonstrate proper brushing techniques.
You should remain present throughout the procedure to help keep your child at ease. If you or your child have any additional questions, the doctor will be happy to answer them. You should also tell Dr. Cain if your child has any unique eating habits or behaviors (such as thumb sucking) that might impact his or her oral heath. After the first visit, we advise parents to begin scheduling regular dental exams for their children every six months.
Schedule Your Child's First Visit
To help create a good foundation of oral hygiene, our doctors recommend pediatric dentistry patients complete their first dental visit by the time they turn one, or within six months after their first tooth emerges. To learn more about pediatric dentistry, or to schedule your child's first dental visit, contact Lake Country Dental today.

Gadget review: Motorola's Moto Turbo
Again, Motorola woos Indian fans with the Moto Turbo that boasts of 64GB in-built storage, a 1440p 5.2-inch display and a ballistic nylon outer shell
Motorola finally unveiled the much-awaited Turbo yesterday. Priced at Rs 41,999, the Turbo is the second most expensive device on offer by the Canadian smartphone maker, and also the most feature-rich.
The device comes pre-loaded with Android Lollypop 5.0, a 5.2-inch display with a resolution of 2560x1440 that offers an impressive 565ppi pixel density.
It also gets a 21-megapixel rear camera that can capture 4K video. It is powered by 2.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 QSC 8084 quad core processor with 3Gb RAM, 64GB in-built storage and 3900mAh battery, which Motorola claims lasts more than a full day.
With connectivity, the Moto Turbo supports 2G, 3G as well as 4G (unfortunately, G support is limited to LTE Cat4 Band 1/ 2/3/4/5/7/17, none of which is supported in India) cellular connections, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi a/b/c/g/n bands.
Moto Turbo also comes with Motorola's Turbo charger that they claim, provides up to seven hours of power in just 15 minutes of charging.
The device is available in India as a ballistic nylon variant, which is a reference to premium ballistic nylon, used to make its outer shell (similar to the material used to make backpacks) and the DuPont Kevlar fibre underneath, which, Motorola claims, is five times stronger than steel. The device will be sold only on a pre-order basis.
Available on: Flipkart.com
Price: Rs 41,999
Motorola will also be launching a new variant of its popular budget phone, the Moto E, today.
Unlike the earlier version, the second-generation Moto E now gets a slightly larger screen, a front camera, and more styling options.
It will be priced at R6,999 and will be available on Flipkart.com

After the roaring Bengal tigress fell silent, the Maharashtra tiger has begun to growl. Vajpayee�s spin doctors are scouting for ways to calm a fuming Bal Thackeray after the Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee-led CPM silenced Mamata Banerjee, one of Vajpayee�s past headaches.
Thackeray, the fire-breathing Shiv Sena chief with 15 balance-tilting MPs in Vajpayee�s government, is enraged after reports suggested that his hope for a fourth ministerial berth has been dashed.
Immediately after US-based surgeon Chittaranjan Ranawat operated on the Prime Minister�s right knee at Breach Candy hospital on Thursday, Union parliamentary affairs minister Pramod Mahajan, a key Vajpayee aide, let slip that no one from the Sena would join the Cabinet in the upcoming expansion.
Thackeray has long demanded that Vajpayee appoint his nominee in place of Ram Jethmalani, the former law minister and a Sena Rajya Sabha MP whom Vajpayee had asked to resign after his public spat with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Mahajan had said the Sena demand was not acceptable because Jethmalani had become the law minister much before he became a Sena MP. Vajpayee was planning to make Jat leader Ajit Singh a minister instead in view of the approaching Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh.
While a Sena leader said they were not going to take Mahajan�s remarks lying down, former Sena culture minister Pramod Navalkar said the Sena had already made its demands clear to the Prime Minister. �We have 15 MPs, so we should have at least four ministers,� he added.
As Thackeray raved and ranted, the BJP managers started putting distance between Mahajan and Vajpayee, their closeness notwithstanding. �Expansion of his Cabinet is a prerogative of the Prime Minister and no one else is in the know,� the party said, as Mahajan spent the better part of his last few days at Breach Candy hospital literally by the Prime Minister�s side.
Mahajan�s aides admonished newspersons for reporting what they said were not only �off the cuff� remarks, but strictly off the record. �He was shocked when he saw his comments were reported in the newspapers. He would have never spoken so unguardedly if he had known the reporters would quote him,� a close aide said.
But neither the Prime Minister�s office, nor the BJP has denied the veracity of Mahajan�s remarks. Nor did they say anything to the contrary. A Vajpayee aide camping here said the Prime Minister was following the controversy in the newspapers from his hospital bed, but preferred not to comment.
Vajpayee�s handlers said Mamata was a constant pain in his neck as long as she remained in his Cabinet, keeping him on his toes. But the pressure of coalition politics forced Vajpayee to give in, at times at a great economic cost. The price of diesel was brought down and rail fare was not increased at her insistence.
But after she quit in the run-up to the Bengal polls, Thackeray turned out to be Vajpayee�s main tormentor, refusing to share a dais with him to counter the Tehelka charges and publicly questioning his Kashmir ceasefire.
But for all that, Vajpayee cannot let the Sena chief go after Mamata is gone from his government.
An aide of the Rashtriya Lok Dal leader said it was a �courtesy call� as the former BJP chief was recently appointed Uttar Pradesh prabari (in-charge). But BJP sources claimed there was more to the half-hour session at the party headquarters.
The meeting, they said, had become necessary because of �active� opposition from a large section of the state BJP to the alliance with Ajit. The RLD leader�s insistence on truncating western Uttar Pradesh � making it a full-fledged Harit Pradesh � was rejected by both state and Central leaders, who made it clear that the party would not support the creation of any more new states.
According to sources, Ajit told Thakre he would not make Harit Pradesh a major issue in the coming Uttar Pradesh polls.
The other sticking point was his reported demand for as many as 100 of the 403 Assembly seats. It is learnt that Ajit is willing to settle for about 45 seats.
But Uttar Pradesh BJP leaders are still trying to convince the top brass that the perceived gains from the tie-up with Ajit are �vastly exaggerated� and it is �certainly not worthwhile sacrificing so many seats for the sake of a few Jat votes�.
According to an informed assessment, Jats account for just 3.75 per cent of the total votes and matter in just 13 districts. In the present House, there are 13 Jat MLAs. Seven are from the BJP, four are from the RLD, and one each from the BJP�s allies � the Loktantrik Congress Party and the Jantantrik BSP.
BJP sources in the state said former chief minister Kalyan Singh, a backward caste Lodh Rajput, could make �much more of a difference�, though adversely, to the party�s prospects than Ajit. Both have a base in the western region. �Lodh Rajputs account for five per cent of the voters and hold the key to power in as many as 45 constituencies,� they said.
According to the sources, the high command�s pro-Ajit tilt was because of the �need to fill the leadership vacuum� in western Uttar Pradesh after Kalyan�s exit. �The BJP does not have a weighty Jat or a leader from any other community to project in the western districts. So, they are banking on Ajit to do the needful,� they said.
Ajit�s impending entry into the BJP-led front has also reportedly made its backward caste MLAs � who account for one-third of its strength � �restive�. Some have already begun tapping Mulayam Singh Yadav�s Samajwadi Party.
Another source of worry for the state unit is caste and regional imbalances in the party structure. Sources pointed out that state unit chief Kalraj Mishra had �packed� his team with fellow Brahmins who occupy all important posts like that of general secretary, spokesman, media in-charge and morcha prabaris.
Sources also said the top hierarchy was made up of those who came from eastern Uttar Pradesh and Varanasi. Mishra is from Ghazipur, chief minister Rajnath Singh is from Mirzapur and so is Om Prakash Singh, who has been projected as the BJP�s �backward caste face�.
�The BJP,� rued sources, �starts in Varanasi and ends in Lucknow.�
�It took my boys two years to develop it. It is true that such hi-tech explosive sniffers do exist, but the one we have developed is completely different from those existing abroad. It is the product of Indian research and development,� R.P. Bajpai, director of the organisation, said.
The organisation deals with classified projects and is also involved in space research.
Bajpai said the instrument measures the vapour pressure of explosives. �Each explosive has its own vapour pressure. The instrument we have developed can sniff explosive mixtures also, making its use of great value,� he added.
Scientists at the organisation, who worked tirelessly for two years to develop the �hi-tech sniffer�, had to face failure a number of times before perfecting the technology.
�The last failure was as recent as June 6, making us wonder whether we were on the right track or not. But we stuck to our task and our hard work paid off yesterday at 3.45 pm when the leader of the team working on the device, A.K. Dumri, called me up and said: �Sir, the dog is barking, congratulations,�� Bajpai said.
The device weighing less than 1 kg, has a rod protruding from its front which can sniff vapour pressure of explosives. The indicator panel flashes only when brought near explosives.
The organisation plans to provide the device to the army, paramilitary forces and police. �Initially, it will be used in tandem with sniffer dogs in high-security zones to ensure bombs are not planted there,� a scientist working on the project said.
The device is also capable of locating buried explosives and has proved to be equally useful as dogs in locating them.
Barring the US, no other country has till now been able to produce an electronic sniffer as light as the one produced by this organisation.
Bajpai said the device was developed by the organisation�s Applied Physics department. �It was only about 10 days ago that it dawned on us that a major breakthrough could be possible. It had begun sniffing properly but was not sending out the right signals. We managed to rectify the fault. The device has not failed since yesterday and our work has been certified as successful. The moment the device comes near an explosive, it starts emitting a signal and a warning beeper follows,� he added.
A scientist said the device works on the same principle as dogs. �When we began working on the project two years ago we found that explosive material did let off some vapour or gas continuously. A close analysis brought us to the conclusion that the vapour from explosives was different from that of non-explosive material. That helped us in designing the device,� he added.
You have seen the corpses by the wayside.
So, would you still bet on IT? Would you still give up engineering � the good old brick and smoking chimneys � and stake it all on a slab of virtual pie?
In Bangalore, they are doing just that � still. �It is still IT,� says K.R. Murthy, an academic and chairman of the task force on revision of technical syllabus for engineering students. �The slowdown has not dimmed their enthusiasm. The demand for IT and computer science has not gone down.�
What is important is that this is happening in Bangalore, the city which boasts of the maximum number of professional colleges in the country.
�The tech slowdown has not affected us,� says C.M. Abraham, registrar of the Indian Institute for Information Technology, Bangalore. �The number of applications this institute has received for post-graduate courses tells all: 4,700 applications for 120 seats.�
The story is the same at other educational institutions. �The first choice is IT or computer science,� says a lecturer at St Joseph�s College, where the cut-off for this year�s admission was 92 per cent for B.Sc. �We heard about the slowdown but it is not stopping me from pursuing a career in IT. My parents, too, want me to become a software engineer,� says Vineet, a tech-aspirant.
Maybe, there is still a market for him. A joint survey by the Information Technology Association of America and Morgan Stanley Research shows the IT workforce will expand by four lakh over the next 12 months. The Indian IT industry has also projected a requirement of 205,000 professionals in the next two years.
In last year�s Common Entrance Test,which the Karnataka government holds yearly for admissions to professional colleges, seven of the top 10 students opted for IT.
Only three chose medicine. Officials administering the Common Entrance Test expect the same trend this year when the results are declared and admissions begin in July.
This year, a record number of 1,27,400 students appeared for the CET in May. Nearly 60,000 of them came from outside Karnataka.
�The fun image of Bangalore attracts students from outside. Parents, too, like to send their wards to Karnataka because it is a peaceful place,� says Harsha. K, a young entrepreneur who has set up an online site � admissions4u.com � for college students.
�Everything is so commercialised that education has become an industry,� says former MLC, A.K. Subbaiah, a view shared by former vice-chancellor H. Narsimaiah.
The chief minister, who has said he is determined to fulfil his do-it-now promise, preferred to attend office on a holiday, instead of putting off the strategy session till Monday.
The meeting coincided with unrest at the Durgapur Steel Plant over the assault of two senior officers by an Intuc activist.
The meeting was a follow-up of the discussions Dasgupta and industry minister Nirupam Sen had with different ministers and departmental secretaries earlier this week.
Soon after the sixth Left Front government was sworn in on May 18, the Marxists had set in motion a strategy to ensure better governance. Bhattacharjee had promised industrialists and investors that the government would speed up work: files would be cleared without delay so that time was not wasted in getting a project through. �We spoke about work culture and other issues,� Bhattacharjee said.
The Institute of Driving, Training and Research tested 260 licensed school-bus drivers from February to May this year. Forty-seven failed the test and 64 school-bus conductors out of 188 could not clear the basic test.
�It was after the spate of bus accidents that occurred in the capital in the beginning of the year that the transport department and the Delhi government started a training programme for school-bus drivers and conductors,� institute director R.K. Parimoo said.
Earlier this year, 10 fatal accidents were reported in which eight children lost their lives and 25 were injured. In one incident in February, seven children on their way to school were seriously injured after a lorry hit the school-bus.
The institute issued a letter to schools in Delhi that have a large fleet of buses to transport children. �We wrote to all schools listed with the education department. We wanted to ensure that all drivers had undergone proper training before driving the buses. Out of a total of 89 schools, only 30 per cent sent their drivers,� Parimoo said.
�Delhi Public School, RK Puram, and GD Goenka School in Vasant Vihar were the only two schools which showed a great deal of enthusiasm and ensured that all drivers and conductors attended the training,� he added.
Some schools claim that drivers were not sent for the training programme as they were not sure whether their buses would be functional in the post-CNG months. The programme taught drivers safety precautions and also encouraged them to develop a role of better �guardianship�.
Parents of schoolchildren in Delhi are angry at the abysmal state of schoolbuses. �My son was using the schoolbus. But the bus was not in a good condition and the bus drivers would never come on time and the children were not well handled by some conductors. In addition, we were paying a lot of money for the school transport. We had no choice but to stop him from using the schoolbus and use the DTC,� said Anita, whose son is studying at the Delhi Tamil Senior Secondary School.
In January 1998, an overcrowded speeding schoolbus plunged into the Yamuna, leading to the death of 28 children. After the accident, the Supreme Court issued detailed guidelines on safety norms required for schoolbuses, including installation of speed governors for these buses.
�We are not sure about the safety of our children in the bus. The driver could be over-speeding. There is no one to keep a check on him,� one parent said.
Vinay Kumar, principal, Delhi Public School, Vasant Kunj, said: �All the drivers employed by our institute were formerly in the army. They have been employed primarily because of their discipline and training.�

Patrick Stewart and his wife, singer and songwriter Sunny Ozell, welcomed a foster pit bull named "Ginger" into their home earlier this week, as you can see in the above video of their first meeting with the temporary new addition to their family, who gave her foster dad a "very nice" albeit slobbery greeting. "Thanks to ASPCA and Wags and Walks, Sunny Ozell and I are finally fostering our 1st pitbull! Meet Ginger. I'm in LOVE," Stewart captioned the video, adding the hashtags #AdoptDontShop, #pitbullsofinstagram, and #pitbulls.
Obviously Stewart and his wife must have very busy and hectic schedules, which makes it difficult to take care of a pet long-term, but… does anyone else feel like Ginger might end up becoming a "failed foster?" Allow me to direct your eyes to the second video Stewart posted, in which Ginger excitedly gives him even more sloppy kisses, this time poolside.

- • The total marks of four Formative Assessments and two Summative Assessments conducted in an academic year will be accounted for 20% of marks in class X public examinations.
- • Conduct one paper on each day except on general holidays.
d) Trainings – Responsibilities
- • All the stake holders in School Education Department i.e., DEOs, Dy. EOs, MEOs, HMs and teachers should be trained in participatory approach for effective implementation of CCE. Mandal level, District level moderation boards should be constituted and the persons of the boards should be trained well.
- • HM is the first level monitoring authority, responsible for school performance. So he / she has to be trained well in both academic and administrative aspects.
- • All teachers should be trained well to adopt interactive oriented pedagogical approaches in classroom transactional process, how to frame thought provoking, analytical, creative, open ended questions and evaluation procedures.
- • Responsibility should be fixed to all monitoring officials to observe implementation of formative assessment which plays a dominant role in CCE.
e) Co-Curricular Areas Assessment Procedure
- • Assessment do not confine to cognitive areas, it is important to observe how student participate in other learning environments i.e., debates, discussions, projects, seminars, field works, model making, lab activities, literary association meetings, club activities, games and sports, cultural activities, creative activities etc. These are all the activities which lead to all round development of the student.
- • No public exam shall be conducted in these subjects. However, these areas will be evaluated for three times in an academic year i.e. quarterly, half yearly and annually. Teachers shall observe and award marks. The average will be taken into account and the details of grade must be submitted on-line by HM to Director, Govt. Exams after verification by the moderation committee.
- • Assessment of Co-Curricular areas is different from curricular areas. Teacher should observe the level of participation, interests towards across curricular activities, skills and abilities by using different tools like observations, discussions, rating scales, socio grams, project works etc.
- • SCERT should develop suggestive Co-Curricular Assessment tools to enable the teachers to develop and utilized tools in proper manner.
- • Part time teachers are to be appointed for co-curricular areas like dance, music, drawing, computers, work experience etc. Otherwise HM should allot the responsibility of conducting these co-curricular activities followed by assessment to the teachers. Initially, choice may be given to the teachers to select the areas based on their interest. If it is not possible, the HM should allot co-curricular activities to the working teachers as suggested hereunder: Value education and Life Skills – Language teachers Art and Cultural Education – Science teachers Work and Computer Education – Maths teachers Health and Physical Education – PET/ Social teachers.
f) Curricular Areas Assessment Procedure
• Ability of student learning competency cannot be assessed only through paperpencil test. So it is necessary to follow Formative Assessment in addition to Summative Assessment by using different tools. Formative Assessment Procedure • Formative Assessment is the back bone in newly proposed CCE. The four tools in formative assessment are helpful to the teacher to assess his/her students in other cognitive areas like communication, participation, presentation, aesthetics etc. There are four formatives in a year. So teacher should record four times (July, September, December and February). The proposed four tools and marks allotment of formative assessment are hereunder:
1. Children participation and reflection – (For languages – Read any book other than text book and write a report, Mathematics – prepare own problems and solution, Science – prepare lab report on experiment done by him/her, Social – Express opinions on contemporary issues) – 10 marks
2. Project works – (Any other suitable tool may be developed by teacher preparation and presentation of Projects, Model making, art, paintings etc) – 10 marks
3. Written works- (own expressions in note books, field observation, data collection and analysis reports, creative writings etc) -10 marks
4. Slip test- Slip test should be conducted on selected Academic Standards. There is no need to conduct slip test in a specified timetable like our conventional unit test examinations. It is informal in nature teacher has, freedom to conduct slip test in his regular classroom transaction – 20 marks. Total- 50 marks. For the effective implementation of formative assessment all teachers are to be trained and equip them how to create suitable learning environment and teaching learning process to make the students to achieve goals·
• Student should get 18 marks to pass in Formative Assessment.
• Even though there are two papers in Summative Test there is no need to conduct paper wise slip test and remaining three tools separately for class IX. Teachers have freedom to select topics or academic standards from syllabus of both papers.
• In case of Science, Physical Science and Biological Science teachers conduct and record Formative Assessment separately for 50 marks each. • Finally add both Physical Science and Biological Science marks and reduced to 50 that will be record under Science subject. –
g) Summative Assessment Procedure
- • There are 3 Summative Assessments in a year (August/September, December/January, March / April).
- In case of class X, Public Examination will be in the place of third Summative Test to be conducted by Board of Secondary Education.
- • Summative 1 and 2 question papers for Class VI to IX should be developed by District Common Examination Board.
- • District Common Examination Board should conduct workshop by inviting group of teachers for each subject for question paper preparation.
- • For Summative 1 and 2, each paper contains 80 marks for class VI to VIII only, whereas 40 marks for each paper in Class IX and X. (Hindi will be 80 marks).
- • Summative 3 – final examination question papers Class VI to IX should be prepared by SCERT and Mail to all DEOs for printing and distribution.
- • Academic Standards Weightages, number of questions, nature of questions should be similar for all classes i.e., Class VI to X.
- • All teachers should be trained on newly introduced evaluation procedures, because questions are to be open ended, multiple answered, scope for individual expression, creative in nature.
- • Number of question papers for class VI to VIII are one for each subject whereas two papers for IX class (except Hindi) for all Summative Examinations. So in class IX there are 11 papers similar to class X.
- • Specific instructions should be given to teachers about paper wise syllabus for class IX and X.
- • In Summative 3, each paper contains 80 marks only from class VI to VIII whereas 40 marks for Class IX and X because there are 2 papers in each subject (Hindi will be single paper with 80 marks). • Pass percentage will be 35% for all the languages and non language subjects. So student should compulsory get 27 marks in Summative 3 – final examination.
- • Finally student is awarded 100 marks (80% from Summative which is final exam and 20% marks out of 360 from 4 Formatives Assessments (50×4=200), 2 Summative Assessments (80×2=160) respectively.
- • If a student gets 27 marks in external exam, he/ she should compulsorily get 8 marks from 20% of internals for the optimum pass mark which is 35, but there is no pass mark in 20% of internals.
- • If a student gets less than 8 in internals, he/she must get remaining marks to reach 35 from external examination, for example, if a student gets 5 marks in internals he/she must get 30 marks from externals.
- • These 20% internal marks from school are only bonus marks, they may not influence any way on students pass mark.
h) QUALITATIVE ASPECTS Nature of the question papers and questions:
• The nature of questions are to be open ending, descriptive, analytic which tests children abilities of thinking, critical analysis, judgments and leads to self expression and away from rote memory. Children must be trained to think critically and construct the answers on their own. Ensuring that learning is shifted away from rote methods and memory oriented, focus on self expression and do away with using of guides and study material and memorizing of answers.
• The questions should make the children think and write. The questions should be analytical, application oriented and open ended.
• The questions once appeared in public exams should not be repeated.
• The questions given in the exercises of the textbook under each unit and lesson must not be given as such. They are only suggestive. The questions must reflect the academic standards. i) Academic standards/ competencies to be achieved

Type of questions (essay, short answer, very short answer and objective questions) and academic standard-wise questions (how many marks and questions to each academic standard etc.).
l) Procedures for recording and monitoring of assessment data
• Children performance should be recorded in the form of cumulative record. This record contains continual aspects i.e., Formative Assessment – Evaluation during instructional process, periodicity of aspect i.e., Summative Assessment – Evaluation at the end of term. All round development of the student personality in scholastic, coscholastic aspects to fulfil evaluation is a comprehension one.
• SCERT should develop model of cumulative records which should be supplied to all schools by SSA, RMSA to record students' performance at Primary and High School levels separately. Proper guidelines required to maintain such Records and Registers should be given.
• Specific Records and Registers should be maintained by the teacher as well as school. SCERT take responsibility to design such models keeping in view of data requirements of SSA and other educational agencies. This avoids repetition of work.

Graphic Design And That Which You Ought To Know before You Start
A thoroughly prepared client brief is half the success of the rebranding or design project. This is exactly what separates design from visual art art is approximately creativity and invoking emotion while graphic design is about getting your (or your clients) message across clearly and beautifully. It is really a form of communication that aims to combine images usually graphic, typographic or photographic to convey information to a target market. On the other hand a website pre-built / more oftenly called a template can be a design already built without the specific needs of a targeted market.
We can start to see the various advertisements in television, internet, and magazine. Westwood College provides a associate's degrees in graphic design.

Why do you act in this world?
Because I have a fire within me and I cannot not act. I am fired up, and yet I wasn't always fired up. So this for me is also new, since about January 7th 2014, when I went to Live Your Legend global meetup. Before that I was very lost.
Out of personal curiosity, what made you lost?
I don't know that I ever knew anything but conformity. I did all the stereo typical things and it didn't feel satisfying and yet I didn't know what else was outside of that realm. So I accepted the norm; most weekends consisted of partying with my friends and it left me unsatisfied. It took a couple of personal situations to get the realization that "there's got to be a better way."
What makes you think that you make a difference?
It goes back to what I first said, because now I am so congruent and aligned; my passion and my purpose drive me. There is no such word as work, I am fueled by this cycle—I serve, and I get so much back in return and it thrills me. When you are in that environment it flows.
What gives you hope for the future?
A conference like World Domination Summit—that's why I am here. I am here to meet other likeminded people. I know there are so many of us and we could be making massive changes today and we are in our own way. I actually think for all the devastating things I see in the world, we also have amazing things happening. They are of course not at the speed I would love to see, and yet there is a light.
People are fired up and wanting to do more and better and leave the world a better place and I love it.
If you were to condense what gives you hope into three words or a very, very short sentence, what would it be?
Okay… just one word, which is totally fair…
I am thinking…
The fire and energy from other people. Feeding off of each other. Energy, everything is energy.
Everything we do is energy and we can choose how positive we want to make that energy.
"Choosing positive energy"
When I have a sad Sunday and don't know what to do, if you could make me do one thing on Sad Sunday, what would it be?
I totally understand what a Sad Sunday is. I would make you meditate for ten minutes in the morning or anytime that you feel like you need to. Tab into your feelings, feeling your emotion through and through.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Video: N64Mini - Play the Nintendo 64 in Portable Form
I was looking on ebay for a DS and noticed at the bottom of a listing "most watched" and came across this gem. I then googled it and found a video (below) and write up on this device.
To quote: The modding community has been quite active improving old game consoles. I'm such a fan of the Nintendo 64 that the latest mod of the venerable console was just too cool to pass up.
Dubbed the N64Mini, the portable Nintendo 64 device from modder Zenloc features the familiar Nintendo 64 controller buttons (minus the D-pad, unfortunately) in a nicely compact package. Users can place their Nintendo 64 cartridges in the back of the device to play some of their favorite games.
According to the device's developer, the N64Mini runs on a 4-cell battery and comes with a charger. It also features a headphone jack and an A/V out port for those who want to play the title on a display that's a little larger. It even comes with built-in brightness controls.
But here's the best part: the N64Mini is available now on eBay. Bidding ends in five days, but so far, 44 bids have been placed. The price is at $555 at the time of this writing. I obviously haven't been able to get my hands on the device, but based on the video below, it might be something worth considering if you plan to spend some cash this holiday season.

Or you just buy a n64 for £20, gutted it has not got a D-Pad as most the best games have d-pad such as GOLDENEYE, 1080, etc, on another note I just bought my son 8 games and a gamegear for £24 on ebay, now just need to make my time machine go back in time and sell it wow wow wubzy!!

Keb' Mo' is all about living in the present. He comes by it honestly, let's say. "My career has been a series of little jobs," Mo' said. "My next job is always based upon my performance the night before. If I do good, I get another job." He says he learned long ago he prefers the right now equilibrium. "There's no past, there's no future, just right now walking onstage. There are no guarantees. Maybe someone will be affected by one of my songs and seek out another one. Maybe another musician will hear a song and want to do it themselves."
As a songwriter Keb' Mo' tunes have been recorded by a myriad of artists. His sentiment-laden songs will turn you inside out every time. "The Beginning" opens and closes with the hope—there's that word again—that the end is merely a starting point. "I co-wrote that song with Bobby McFerrin," Mo' said. "It's about trust. Trusting what comes to your consciousness and believing that you can shape it the best you can."
For twenty years Grammy-winner Keb' Mo' has been providing avenues to destinations inward and exit lanes to your outside world. Above all he'd like nothing more than for you to have fun at one of his shows. Acoustic set or not, Keb' wants those so inclined to get out there and grab a piece of the aisle and have fun. Be looking for when he gets out the slide and reaches for the National Resorocket. Then you'll know for sure you're where you need to be.
Keb' Mo' solo acoustic, Saturday March 23 at the Intersection. 7 pm.

Write a short "test" document and apply the McGill software package formatting to understand style implications and any potential challenges for your work (e.g., margins, fonts, headings, etc.).
- Review the Schulich School of Music Style Guide pertaining to style manuals and music.
- Attend a concert, a movie, or some other live cultural event at least once a week.
- Keep a file tracking the style choices you make from the very beginning.
- Assemble musical examples, figures, and illustrations in a separate file, even in preliminary sketch form, keeping an overall tracking record that details what each requires for final thesis inclusion (e.g., formatting, copyright release and permissions, etc.). Check and update the tracking file periodically. Use the talents of others to format musical examples as a major time-saver and to facilitate proof-reading.
- Consider copyright practicalities at the outset. Collect written permission to use materials as soon as possible.
- Attend the thesis defenses and lecture-recitals of your colleagues – enjoy in particular the wine!
- Develop a schedule with your supervisors and other dissertation committee members. Think of each marker – not as a deadline, but as a checking in moment, a reporting that always involves some element of writing even if it involves only two lines of summary that will eventually become the basis for determining the "header" of an outline, the first line under the header, or a working hypothesis. This way, the research and the writing can become inter-connected and benefit from the clarity of thought and direction that each provides the other. For other helpful hints on how to develop the schedule as you define your topic see here: https://www.mcgill.ca/gradsupervision/timelines/beginnings-guided-resear... ….Recognize that any step involving human interactions will require more time than anticipated. ….Plan well ahead when organizing trips to archives, festivals, research labs, etc.
- Share the results of your work in a variety of formal and informal settings throughout its evolution, giving at least one presentation a year. The more people you share with, academic and non-academic, musical, non-musical, the clearer the expression becomes! https://www.mcgill.ca/gradsupervision/timelines/emergence-independent-re...
- Draw on the resources of the whole Schulich School of Music Team and beyond: become long and lasting friends with the Library Faculty, attend grant writing sessions for funding tips, the labs of other supervisors, and call upon the expertise of Prof. Stubley, the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies in Music, and Helene Drouin, Graduate Studies for questions small or large, research or procedural, or if you are merely feeling the pressure and angst of this and that. Writing assistance may also be obtained through Graphos (graphos!—this is best under TOOLS for Writing and Research).
- For other helpful hints, see the Graduate Supervision website. Know that usually you are not the most effective proof-reader, that it takes much longer than you ever imagined, and that at least once, the computer, the electricity, the plumbing or some other critical disaster will occur at the most inopportune moment.
- And did we say, take time for fun, nourishment and living life—each day, each week, each month!

|Skin Tag comment - Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Rerun, yo' so funny!!
|Yeah I had a few of those but my daddy took care of them, literally scared them off! My daddy loves his little Missy teehee.
|Made me remember a recent video I saw. True Redneck. It shows him having the tattoo of his ex wife's name removed from his arm...at the local autobody shop with the air sander! Frickin' hilarious, a little gross for some, but still frickin' funny.
as skin tag is defined as my daughters boyfriend.
|Hey, it works…and that's not all. Remove two tats and five of those pesky little skin tag thingies are free.

|A beautifully setting of these good words, all I need add is the Kohima Epi***h When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today"
|Fewer red poppies are worn. With each new generation the respect dwindles and the meaning of the day is forgotten. But never a Grey Cup or Super Bowl goes unnoticed. Very sad indeed.
|Thank you mao. It's sad when people can't take a day to show respect to those that showed such courage to defend what we have today. In my province they are making it opt. for students to attend assemblies in school. Stores are now open.

|Probably because it's most of the ink their upper-limbs will have ever seen laid in their lives.
|Getting tons of uncoverable tattoos is like signing a contract saying "I want to work in the back rooms for the rest of my life."
|But, how could an employer resist hiring them with those awsome tattoos.

During the summer I get on at least twice a day.
Have an opinion?
Whenever I'm bored. Sometimes, I log in and, if I have no notifications, log right back out. I log in at least once a day though.
Normally the same, but when I'm sick and staying at home, I'm on here all the time.
Many times, very briefly to check for quality questions, some days it just feels like yahoo answers in here.
Once at night.
lol good question... errday at work when I'm bored...I've already watched like every YouTube video there is and there isn't anything better to do :P
2 to 3 times, mostly in the evening.
Depends... on days I feel lonely I come on here frequently. But when I'm busy and occupied I'm hardly on here. I wouldn't say I have a fixed routine.
On average, I log on once or twice a night. Sometimes I check in the morning before I leave for school and in the afternoon when I get back and no one else is around to bother me.
I usually log in once a day to get the points. I go through phases whether I actually ask/answer questions. I haven't been on a lot in awhile, but I am super close to my next xper level so I've been on the last few days.
I log in off and on throughout the day when I have a chance. I never go a day without logging on though. I'm on mostly in the evenings as I am now:)
Once every other day, during the week..since I rarely have time, but on the weekends, a lot..I have no life ^.^
when I'm bored or not at work/school
log on after waking up and log off before sleeping
at least twice
I'm always logged on here but find myself coming here more around the afternoon or when I'm bored you know the norm.My mornings are kind of busy and I study at night so it kinda balances it out.
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.

A Massive 152-inch Screen
Equivalent to nine 50-inch screens, this huge display immerses the viewer in lifelike images. It lets you show even large products with life-seize views that are so real, you feel like you're looking at the actual product.
4K2K Resolution
Detailed, High-Quality Images with Rich Textures
This is world's first development for a self-illuminating display. Ultrahigh-speed drive technology featuring super-high efficiency technology, witch was made possible by the self-illuminating plasma displays, produces approximately 4 times the amount of information (4,096 × 2,160 pixels) of a full-HD panel (1,920 ×1,080 pixels).
The 4K2K display faithfully express bright, highly detailed content that fills the entire screen with lifelike images, even when watched from a relatively close viewing distance of 1.5 times the screen height.
When viewing 3D images, you should watch from a distance that is at least three times the screen's height. (Recommended viewing distance: 5.4 meters or more)
FULL HD Signals for Each Eye — Frame Sequential Technology
The technology in which the left-eye and right-eye 3D images are sent to the viewer is the key to 3D image quality. For this, FULL HD 3D uses something called the Frame Sequential technology. The left and right images are alternately displayed at high speed (60 frames per second for each eye x 2 = 120 frames per second*). When viewed with special glasses that open and close shutters in sync with the displayed frames, the brain creates the sensation of depth from the visual disparity to form 3D images.
Compatible with Various 3D Imaging Methods
In addition to the Frame Sequential method, Panasonic professional FULL HD 3D plasma displays are compatible with both the Side-by-Side and Top-and-Bottom methods.
*The frame rate varies depending on the 3D image signal being reproduced. For example, 3D images are reproduced at 120 fps (frames per second) for a 60 Hz input signal, and 100 fps for a 50 Hz input signal.
•An optional 3D IR Transmitter and 3D Eyewear is required for viewing 3D images.
•Someone in authority should responsibly convey the precautions for use of the 3D Eyewear to the user.
•In the event that you experience dizziness, nausea, or other discomfort while viewing 3D images discontinue use and rest your eyes.
•Parents/guardians should monitor children's viewing habits to avoid their prolonged use without rest periods.
Ultra-High-Speed Drive Technology Achieves Clear 3D with Minimal Double Image
3D images require a display speed of 120 frames per second (fps), which is twice the ordinary speed. A panel with slow response simply cannot keep up with the necessary image processing. As a result, a double image will appear when the images for the left and right eyes overlap on the screen (also called crosstalk). In addition to new short-decay-time phosphors that reduce the afterglow time to 1/3, and a new luminous control, high-precision Motion Vector Prediction function on the VX200 Series helps to achieve highly precise illumination. Ultra-high speed drive technology, which shortens the luminous time to 1/4 compared to previous models, also minimizes double image even on large screens to produce clear and detailed 3D images.
High-Speed Illumination Achieved with High-Precision Motion Vector Prediction
The VX200 Series features the world's first* high-precision Motion Vector Prediction function. Its precise luminous control predicts front/back movement as well as left/right and diagonal movement to increase the drive speed and produce clear 3D images even on a large screen.
*According to a Panasonic survey, as of June 9, 2010, for a FULL HD 3D-compatible flat-panel display.
Newly Developed Fast-Decay Phosphors are Used for the Red and Green Phosphors
This reduces the afterimage time to 1/3 that of conventional phosphors while simultaneously expanding the scope of color reproduction. As a result, brighter, sharper images are produced for 3D content.
