Identifying learning progress of students at regular time intervals on small portions of content.
Employing a variety of remedial measures of teaching based on learning needs and potential of different students.
Desisting from using negative comments on the learner’s performance.
Encouraging learning through employment of a variety of teaching aids and techniques.
Involving learners actively in the learning process.
Recognizing and encouraging specific abilities of students, who do not excel in academics but perform well in other co-curricular areas.

Feynman's Rainbow
Richard Feynman was one of our more interesting physicists. Lodged at the California Institute of Technology (known affectionately as CalTech), he was the university's "resident genius and iconoclast." Although a book about Feynman (including his own) will always reflect the view of the author, in this entertaining and enlightening work, Leonard Mlodinow shares his memories of a remarkable year in the presence of a very mortal man.
Because Feynman was fighting cancer, perhaps Mlodinow had access to him at a time when his own ideas about life and priorities were changing. It's difficult to know, but we are given a portrait of a man who had always forged his own way in life and in academics. Known for making up his own rules for research, he nonetheless was responsible for some remarkable theories which were found unacceptable for many years. Some of his ideas about an unobservable particle like a quark, in fact, smacked of being a bit "over the edge" (they have since been determined more than reasonable by the scientific community). Mlodinow reports, however, that Feynman considered his theories to be solid science and that he would say, when the topic was brought up, that he had doctor's orders not to discuss metaphysics.
I remember seeing a television program that had some film from one of Feynman's school lectures. A strikingly handsome man, he had a charisma that made him seem rather romantic, yet he is arguably one of the brightest stars in our scientific universe. And I intend to learn more about this fascinating man who, in my mind, walked a similar path to another unusual physicist - Albert Einstein. Both men were willing to go their own way, to challenge the way science is carried out. Both have earned my respect and admiration.
Feynman's Rainbow is a good book. The science in it is accessible and much is explained for those who are not actually genius material ourselves, like me. I just love science. So I need someone to explain things in a language that I can grasp, and Mlodinow has done just that. His conversations with Feynman touch on the nature of science, art, mathematics, the creative process, God and even rainbows. A pure delight, but also an indepth look at the competitive and sometimes frustrating lives of our scientific leaders.
So if you're interested in Feynman, or physics, or both, be sure to include Feynman's Rainbow on your reading list. It's a quick read and one you won't soon forget.

Plasma TV Technology
Plasma TV Technology
Digital revolution has swept people off by their feet in last two decades. Every other day, we come across a new invention or technology. The life cycle of a product has shrunk considerably in the age when a new technology is rendered obsolete within few months. What used to sell like hot cakes just a month back might not find any takers today. Yes, that is the pace of technology. One of the direct beneficiaries of digital revolution is home televisions. High definition Flat Screen TVs can be seen in every second household. Even in this segment, two particular categories Plasma technology and LCD TV is reigning supreme. Here we will be talking about plasma technology.
Plasma technology has completely changed the way people used to watch television. Now watching TV has become a pleasurable experience. Quite a large number of people relish to watch a movie on plasma TV instead of going to theatre and that amply demonstrates its popularity. It has wonderful design that is not only sleek and slim but visually stimulating as well. Television industry has got a real boost in arms with invention of plasma TV.
Some of the distinguishing features of a plasma TV are negligible picture blur, bright and well coloured display and high sensitivity. If we go deep into the technology of a plasma TV, its inner structure is comprised of thousands of tiny cells incorporated in two sheets of glass. These cells are multi-coloured and also act as the pixels of the plasma TV. These pixels are instrumental in producing the magical picture effect on the screen.
One of the best features of a plasma TV is that it can be mounted on a wall and that amounts to experience of watching television in a completely different orbit. This way, it can also adapt in all kinds of environments. Its soaring popularity is also credited to features like easy usability, high viewing angles and environment friendly technology. With every passing day, new models and make of plasma are arriving in market and that makes customers spoilt for choice
i hate examsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
yes i hate exams because it creates a lot of tensions in our mind.

..Modern living has made people of India weak, unhealthy and disease prone..
Yes...Modern living has made people of India weak, unhealthy and disease prone...Modern living means adopting the western culture, smoking, drinking, eating pizzas and burgers, etc.Also working at night times in a BPO or a Call Centre is now a days modern living.....But this makes u obese and also mentally sick as scientifically it is proved that brain automatically relaxes...So the people working in the companies become mentally ill and sick......Now don't we see teens and adults smoking in shops, in parties, on roads....It is because of maybe stress or even peer pressure......But smoking reduces 13.9% of the life.....Isn't this unhealthy?Smoking also causes many types of cancers such as lung cancer and stomach cancer....Don't we see obese people around us?Actually the number of obese people has increased....It is because most of them eat junk food regularly and some of them twice or thrice a week............
people have all got influenced by the western styles and now are getting lazier ....people doing night duties dont get proper sleep and hence leading to sleep disorders .....also the busy life of people has made them jump to a easier way of living ...ie eating the junk or packed food which is full of preservatives nowadays a walk in the garden has come to a run on the treadmill...You want to go bicycling..........wellll go to the gym and thats the way it goes ...excercise is not only for burning fats and carbohydrates but for gettin in touch with the fresh morning air which keeps u active the whole day,,,,,,,,, it is affecting ,all the people are trying to turn their simple life into sophisticated living.Of course the modern living is directly affecting the people.Now, due to easy availability of many consumer items in the market attracts each and every consumer and they try to procure the item either by spending their saving or taking loan from the banks etc. Both ways the money circulation in the market increases resulting in rise in inflation and related hardships.

CUTIE PIE BY NICHOLAS FISK
CUTIE PIE BY NICHOLAS FISK
About the Author
Nicholas Fisk's real name is David Higgenbottom. Born in London in 1923 he has worked as an actor, photographer, journalist, lecturer and a musician. He has been an editor and publisher as well as one of the most popular authors of Science Fiction and Horror stories over the past three decades. He has written over forty books and several television scripts.
Summary
• In Cutie Pie, the author describes the capture of an extra-terrestrial creature and his experiences on earth. The emphasis is on the basic human connection between the infant Winters and Cutie Pie, the E.T. creature. Indirectly, the author means that creatures living anywhere on any planet have some basic common human characteristics similar to the ones possessed by human beings.
• The scientists on earth built a space ship-Questar, which accidentally captured a creature living on the planet Quta-pie. When this extra-terrestrial creature was brought to earth and shown on T.V; Ch-tsal, at once became the darling of the spectators. They found him cute because of his shining feathers with shimmering patterns displaying rainbow colors. He had a curved, cosy, and rounded body, dark liquid eyes. He had bushy little hands, complete with thumbs that cutie pie used with astonishing speed and skill. Cutie Pie became an instant celebrity - he was a commercial success sold as Cutie Pie dolls, colouring books, tee-shirts, fan clubs, cereal cartoons, cartoon serials etc. Everyone wanted to touch him, see him, hold him. He was given a proper name - Ch-tsal - and put in a glass prison because he could live only in an environment similar to that on Quta-pi. The glass prison was a kind of scientific tomb which had a temperature of 180oF, 98 per cent humidity and an atmosphere of hydrogen, oxygen and careful proportions of a dozen exotic gases.
• Though Ch-tsal was captured from Quta-pie, the planet was not really his home. He merely chanced to be on Quta-pi. His elders had sent him there for his initiation; he went out as a boy and was to return as a "man", after having faced difficulties and dangers in strange places. Questar chanced to travel to Quta-pi and in scooping soil, rock, shale etc from it as samples, scooped Ch-tsal too.
• Ch-tsal remembered the scientists or inmates of Questar-silver creatures with bubble faces. He had become unconscious, but now he was in prison of the scientist jailers, white-clad men with tubes and goggle faces. He knew that these jailers didnt mean to torture him. He couldnt talk to them because he had no vocal chords; he could only look past their goggle glasses into their eyes, begging them to understand, but they could not.
• Ch-tsal groomed his feathers because they were filters, temperature - controllers, respirators etc. His whiskers were receiver's antennae, language carriers, voice, life-line. These linked him to his people and he had to keep them in working order by grooming. But unfortunately in the glass prison, these did not work. So he had to face a lot of miseries - he was deaf, dumb, alone, cut off from his land, his people.
• However, Ch-tsal fought his despair with all the courage he could muster up. His five stomachs, and numerous organic filters helped him to stomach the food and atmosphere supplied to him. He used to sleep and dream of his home. But on the nineteenth day of his captivity on earth, Ch-tsal awoke to a horrifying calamity.
• His jeweled feathers from his back and sides and down from his body had fallen out in the night. This calamity was as bad as it would be if humans suddenly found one day that they had hair - coarse hair all over their bodies. This loss of hair made him feel naked and hideous. His feathers were to him what clothes were to human. To lose his feathers was to lose himself. To become naked was to become a monster.
• He felt hideous and close to death. He crouched in a corner of his glass prison. He realized how powerless he was now. The scientists working on him also pitied him but they too were powerless.
• One day, two scientists came to Ch-tsal to try a change of diet. They examined him through the glass of their gas-mask goggles and hastened to get out because strange gases began to seep in through their masks. One of them pressed the button that closed the glass wall. The food bowl jammed it which caused a gap. Ch-tsal then escaped into the human world through this gap.
• Ch-tsal sensed that he could breathe in the air and the temperature was pleasant. He would have sent a message of thanks to his god, but his whiskers, his voice, were gone.
• Soon he began to explore the world around him. He found food in Mrs. Chats worth's house. He tasted cacti and put some into his bag. Now he wanted a friend desperately as he was very lonely. He saw a cat with fur. But the cat attacked him with its claws. He questioned the creature with his mental power and found it useless because the cat had only simple, crude thoughts - comfort, hunting, mating, food etc. He also came across a dog, but it too was useless for him.
• Then Ch-tsal felt rain and saw that his muzzle had some tiny, wire like projections - He was happy because his feathers were growing. But he was still looking for a friend and soon he found a small baby Christopher Harry Winters, who was of the same size as he was and completely naked. He learnt that Winters was an ungrown specimen of the senior species of earth. When winter's mother picked up the baby, waves of love and maternal emotions flowed between Winters and his mother which Ch-tsal recognized by his own experience.
• One night, Ch-tsal made his way into Christopher's nursery and lay down by Winters. He asked him to talk to him and hearing him, Winters smiled in his sleep. From Winters, Ch-tsal learned what it was like to plunge through a great wave, to hunt down animals in dark forests, to shoot an arrow knowing where it would hit. He also learnt of the glories of battle, the terrors of defeat, the chill wickedness of snakes, the smell of wood smoke etc.
• In turn, Ch-tsal told Winters of the building of crystal cities, of creatures in caves, of the pioneer ships that opened up the galaxy, of the Venus invaders and how they were defeated, of the five ways of knowing god, of the taste of a certain food that grew only when the planet's three moons were full.
• Both Ch-tsal and Winters underwent a great change after their meetings and talks. Now Winters often laughed and gurgled, bubbled and pulled his mother's hair. Ch-tsal's feathers and whiskers grew. He searched for food and exercised vigorously when Winters was four months old, Ch-tsal's feathers were so splendid that they gathered in the darkness. One particular night, he heard his mother's voice faintly, brokenly. Ch-tsal was overcome with joy and forgot all caution. He became a firework, a bombshell, spinning and zooming and bouncing off tree trunks. When two young poachers saw him, he beamed a single pulse of ecstasy so powerful that they fell backwards. One fine day, Ch-tsal was gone , the scientists stared at burnt grass in a roped-off area where his spaceship landed to take him back home. No one knew what became of Cutie Pie.
• Only-one person on earth knew, however, that was Winters, but he was too young to talk about Ch-tsal. He tried to tell his mother, but the mother only half-believed him and scolded him on listening to him, coaxing him to drink up his milk.
About the Author
Nicholas Fisk's real name is David Higgenbottom. Born in London in 1923 he has worked as an actor, photographer, journalist, lecturer and a musician. He has been an editor and publisher as well as one of the most popular authors of Science Fiction and Horror stories over the past three decades. He has written over forty books and several television scripts.
Summary
• In Cutie Pie, the author describes the capture of an extra-terrestrial creature and his experiences on earth. The emphasis is on the basic human connection between the infant Winters and Cutie Pie, the E.T. creature. Indirectly, the author means that creatures living anywhere on any planet have some basic common human characteristics similar to the ones possessed by human beings.
• The scientists on earth built a space ship-Questar, which accidentally captured a creature living on the planet Quta-pie. When this extra-terrestrial creature was brought to earth and shown on T.V; Ch-tsal, at once became the darling of the spectators. They found him cute because of his shining feathers with shimmering patterns displaying rainbow colors. He had a curved, cosy, and rounded body, dark liquid eyes. He had bushy little hands, complete with thumbs that cutie pie used with astonishing speed and skill. Cutie Pie became an instant celebrity - he was a commercial success sold as Cutie Pie dolls, colouring books, tee-shirts, fan clubs, cereal cartoons, cartoon serials etc. Everyone wanted to touch him, see him, hold him. He was given a proper name - Ch-tsal - and put in a glass prison because he could live only in an environment similar to that on Quta-pi. The glass prison was a kind of scientific tomb which had a temperature of 180oF, 98 per cent humidity and an atmosphere of hydrogen, oxygen and careful proportions of a dozen exotic gases.
• Though Ch-tsal was captured from Quta-pie, the planet was not really his home. He merely chanced to be on Quta-pi. His elders had sent him there for his initiation; he went out as a boy and was to return as a "man", after having faced difficulties and dangers in strange places. Questar chanced to travel to Quta-pi and in scooping soil, rock, shale etc from it as samples, scooped Ch-tsal too.
• Ch-tsal remembered the scientists or inmates of Questar-silver creatures with bubble faces. He had become unconscious, but now he was in prison of the scientist jailers, white-clad men with tubes and goggle faces. He knew that these jailers didnt mean to torture him. He couldnt talk to them because he had no vocal chords; he could only look past their goggle glasses into their eyes, begging them to understand, but they could not.
• Ch-tsal groomed his feathers because they were filters, temperature - controllers, respirators etc. His whiskers were receiver's antennae, language carriers, voice, life-line. These linked him to his people and he had to keep them in working order by grooming. But unfortunately in the glass prison, these did not work. So he had to face a lot of miseries - he was deaf, dumb, alone, cut off from his land, his people.
• However, Ch-tsal fought his despair with all the courage he could muster up. His five stomachs, and numerous organic filters helped him to stomach the food and atmosphere supplied to him. He used to sleep and dream of his home. But on the nineteenth day of his captivity on earth, Ch-tsal awoke to a horrifying calamity.
• His jeweled feathers from his back and sides and down from his body had fallen out in the night. This calamity was as bad as it would be if humans suddenly found one day that they had hair - coarse hair all over their bodies. This loss of hair made him feel naked and hideous. His feathers were to him what clothes were to human. To lose his feathers was to lose himself. To become naked was to become a monster.
• He felt hideous and close to death. He crouched in a corner of his glass prison. He realized how powerless he was now. The scientists working on him also pitied him but they too were powerless.
• One day, two scientists came to Ch-tsal to try a change of diet. They examined him through the glass of their gas-mask goggles and hastened to get out because strange gases began to seep in through their masks. One of them pressed the button that closed the glass wall. The food bowl jammed it which caused a gap. Ch-tsal then escaped into the human world through this gap.
• Ch-tsal sensed that he could breathe in the air and the temperature was pleasant. He would have sent a message of thanks to his god, but his whiskers, his voice, were gone.
• Soon he began to explore the world around him. He found food in Mrs. Chats worth's house. He tasted cacti and put some into his bag. Now he wanted a friend desperately as he was very lonely. He saw a cat with fur. But the cat attacked him with its claws. He questioned the creature with his mental power and found it useless because the cat had only simple, crude thoughts - comfort, hunting, mating, food etc. He also came across a dog, but it too was useless for him.
• Then Ch-tsal felt rain and saw that his muzzle had some tiny, wire like projections - He was happy because his feathers were growing. But he was still looking for a friend and soon he found a small baby Christopher Harry Winters, who was of the same size as he was and completely naked. He learnt that Winters was an ungrown specimen of the senior species of earth. When winter's mother picked up the baby, waves of love and maternal emotions flowed between Winters and his mother which Ch-tsal recognized by his own experience.
• One night, Ch-tsal made his way into Christopher's nursery and lay down by Winters. He asked him to talk to him and hearing him, Winters smiled in his sleep. From Winters, Ch-tsal learned what it was like to plunge through a great wave, to hunt down animals in dark forests, to shoot an arrow knowing where it would hit. He also learnt of the glories of battle, the terrors of defeat, the chill wickedness of snakes, the smell of wood smoke etc.
• In turn, Ch-tsal told Winters of the building of crystal cities, of creatures in caves, of the pioneer ships that opened up the galaxy, of the Venus invaders and how they were defeated, of the five ways of knowing god, of the taste of a certain food that grew only when the planet's three moons were full.
• Both Ch-tsal and Winters underwent a great change after their meetings and talks. Now Winters often laughed and gurgled, bubbled and pulled his mother's hair. Ch-tsal's feathers and whiskers grew. He searched for food and exercised vigorously when Winters was four months old, Ch-tsal's feathers were so splendid that they gathered in the darkness. One particular night, he heard his mother's voice faintly, brokenly. Ch-tsal was overcome with joy and forgot all caution. He became a firework, a bombshell, spinning and zooming and bouncing off tree trunks. When two young poachers saw him, he beamed a single pulse of ecstasy so powerful that they fell backwards. One fine day, Ch-tsal was gone , the scientists stared at burnt grass in a roped-off area where his spaceship landed to take him back home. No one knew what became of Cutie Pie.
• Only-one person on earth knew, however, that was Winters, but he was too young to talk about Ch-tsal. He tried to tell his mother, but the mother only half-believed him and scolded him on listening to him, coaxing him to drink up his milk.

" Elementary, my dear Watson ": Walter Walter everywhere, only one Walter to write on.
" Elementary, my dear Watson ": Walter Walter everywhere, only one Walter to write on.
I assume that everyone knows who Walter Hudson was. Well for those of you who don't , you could quite make it out with his model on the left. Describing him, his waist measured 119 inches (3.02m) in 1987 when he was at his peak weight of 1,197 lbs. Hudson lived on an average daily diet of two boxes of sausages, a pound of bacon, 12 eggs, a loaf of bread, four hamburgers and four cheeseburgers, eight portions of fries, three ham steaks, two chickens, four baked potatoes, four sweet potatoes, and four heads of broccoli. He also drank an average of 12 pints of soda with every meal.
My article is related to him. Well, this was an exercise for us in class. It was to write a day's diary entry for Walter. Here is my version
May 13th, 1978
10:00 P.M.
I opened my eyes at 10:00 A.M. But sat on my bed only at 10:30 A.M. The bright star was the first one to greet me morning reminding me of my childhood days when I kept badgering my mother for that big orange of which I was deprived of. Well the first thought after brushing my teeth was of course food. But, I decided to go on another diet, for my family was on the verge of bankruptcy after buying food for me in this growing inflation. It came as a shock to the vegetable vendor when my Mom refused to buy anything from him. He just stood there for sometime unable to comprehend what he had just heard, probably. His mouth opened and closed continuously like some goldfish remembering its food three seconds ago. After sometime, I decided to take a stroll to the hall. I lifted my right leg and after quite a struggle kept it forward. Well, it was a small step for a man, but a giant leap for Walter. After completing three successful steps I decided to cancel my hike, for, the Free to All Training Sessions would soon be broadcast on T.V. Being one of my favourite shows, I don't usually miss them. They show quite undeveloped Walters there. I switched on my T.V. only to be greeted by a special show on the atrocities and problems caused by the politicians. We both had something in common - They also lie and I too lie. I looked at my tummy, it was quiet, rather the stillness of the graveyard. It had gone off to sleep after the decision of my diet. It was dark outside. I took out my Bible and prayed to God that I shouldn't be a subject to mock at in any of the blogs in future.

go green and save the trees
Go green: Save the trees
Every day number of trees disappear from the face of the earth. When there are other ways of generating paper
products, trees are still being used largely. It's high time now, that we stop this mean destruction, before we forget the
colour green.
WE, THE inhabitants of earth, have reached that stage where we need to redesign and reconsider our lifestyles for
further survival on this planet. If we want the generations to look forward to a healthy and green earth, then we really
have to change ourselves at the earliest.
No denying the fact that the forest cover of the whole world has drastically depleted over a period of time owing to
the human needs and activities. One contributing factor towards this is the paper industry.
I’m putting forward some of the facts regarding paper:
Worldwide more than 300 million metric tons of paper and paperboard is produced every year.
Of the total global wood harvest for industrial use. 42 per cent goes into paper making and it is expected to reach 50
per cent in the next fifty years.
In our country we have about 600 paper mills producing different varieties of paper.
On an average each one of us uses 700 pounds of paper products every year.
For the production of paper special kind of tree plantations are made called as the managed timberlands.
These managed timberlands comprises of the special kind of trees, which are required for the pulp and paper
manufacturing like the softwood tress (pine, fir etc). It means the diverse natural forests have been replaced by these
managed plantations (like fast growing conifers), which has a direct impact on the biodiversity of the whole forest.
Designing of the managed timberlands for pulp generation means the loss of valuable wildlife habitats, poor soil
quality and ecosystem. They have 90 per cent fewer species than the natural forests.
The managed timberlands often use chemical herbicides and pesticides in order to ensure fast production rates,
causing acute environmental pollution.
Paper can be made from a variety of other materials like cotton, hemp, grass and even elephant dung but
unfortunately in most parts of the world it is made by sacrificing the trees only.
Paper products are the largest ingredients at a waste disposal sites.
Pulp and paper production industry is the third largest producer of air and water pollutants, waste products and the
gases responsible for climatic changes (green house gases).
Pulp and paper production is the largest industrial consumer of energy, water and forest resources.
Huge water consumption involved in paper making process can lead to reduced water levels, required for fish and
other aquatic flora and fauna along with alterations in the water temperature.
Air discharges of the pulp industry include certain hormone disrupting and carcinogenic chemicals like the polyclinic
aromatic hydrocarbons.
About one fifth of the contents of household dustbins consist of paper and card, of which half is newspapers and
magazines.
Industrial nations with 20 per cent of the world's population consume 87 per cent of the world's writing and printing
papers.
In front of all these facts and figures, now the question is what can we do to turn the situation into our favour.
There are many things that can be done like recycling of the paper, avoiding wastage of the paper or the development
of non-tree based paper production methodologies etc.
But one much simpler and easier way to cut down the use of paper is to emphasise on the use of soft copies of the
information and data rather than the hard (printed) form. With almost each and every sector of the world being
computerised and connected through the Internet, all forms of organisations should give stress on using the soft data
thereby avoiding the use of printed matter.
The trend has no doubt already been started but still the speed and spread is very slow. Some of the steps that can be
followed in this direction can be as follows:
1. All of us must opt for the e-bills rather than the printed statements for our telephones, mobile phones, electricity
and water bills etc, most of the private companies have already started this and the others should follow the same.
The quality of the paper, which is used to make these bills, imposes great environmental pollution.
2. Same thing can be followed for other documents like the bank statements, credit card statements etc.
3. Only the legal documents should be used in the printed form and all other forms of transactions of information
should be carried out through Internet.
4. Within an organisation, passing on the information through email (eg outlook mail express) should be followed
rather than circulating printed notices every time.
5. Communication of all types should be preferably done through e-mails.
6. Educational institutions and other such set ups, which need to have the process of registration etc should start
online registration and admissions rather than the conventional 10 page (sometimes even more) admission form in
printed version. Even the prospectus and the guidelines manuals should be made available on the Internet for the use
of the candidates.
7. The mode of examination should also be changed as far as possible. The entrance exams and other qualifying tests
should be compulsorily be made online.
Many other similar kind of simple things can be adopted in our day to day life.
Going soft will make your home and workplace clutter free (remember the piles of papers in your drawers,
cupboards, on your working tables and everywhere) and at the same time it will allow the earth to breath freely.
Though per capita consumption of paper in India is one of the lowest in world, we need to stop ourselves now only
before it is too late.
It takes only a second to waste a beautiful sheet of paper but decades for a tree to grow
plant a tree and save our planet.
