Maths Olympiads are conducted by several organizations across the country with the purpose of nurturing mathematical talent. One leading organization conducting the Maths Olympiad each year is the Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF). The SOF conducts the Maths Olympiad by the name of International Mathematics Olympiad. The National Board for Higher Mathematics in collaboration with Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education is another prominent organization that regularly conducts Maths Olympiads.

The SOF conducts the International Mathematics Olympiad each year in an attempt to nurture talent, help students gain confidence and to increase the spirit of competitiveness, The Maths Olympiad to be conducted in 2009 is the 3rd such International level Maths Olympiad to be conducted by the SOF.

The SOF sends out registration forms to schools both in India and outside to invite participation for the Maths Olympiad. It also sends out other relevant informational material pertaining to the Maths Olympiad such as posters, prospectus and updated information about date, venue and time of the International Mathematics Olympiad.

All schools with minimum registered participants of 50 students can take part in the Maths Olympiad conducted by SOF. The Maths Olympiad is conducted in two levels for students from classes II to XII. A student who clears the first level and secures a position in top 500 students can participate in the second level of examinations. The examination at both the levels is divided into three sections pertaining to Mathematical Ability, Logic & Analytical Reasoning and Everyday Math. The course content for the Maths Olympiad conducted by SOF is entirely based on the curriculum prescribed by CBSE, ICSE and other state boards.

Now, let us just talk about the goodies that you can win! A student who secures the top position in all the grades internationally wins a gold medal and a laptop. A student who secures the 2nd position in each grade wins a silver medal and a laptop. Other goodies like cash prizes, laptops, informational CD”s etc are awarded to the top 500 students for all the grades. Students who are unable to secure a position in top 500 but do manage to secure 50% and above, need not get disheartened! They are awarded a certificate of participation by SOF for having participated in the Maths Olympiad.

Apart from the prizes, a “Math Quotient” (MQ) Report is provided to each student after the Olympiad. The MQ report provides detailed feedback that helps students to develop their weak areas and thereby further encourages increased student participation in future Maths Olympiads. In addition to topic-wise strength and weakness analysis, the report also lists down details about the score, percentile, ranks secured by the student – school wise, city wise, state wise, country wise and also internationally.

Research chemicals have increasingly become popular because of the way they are made and sold. Many of these drugs are sold legally over the internet on various websites. The main reason why they can be sold in this manner is because they fall in between legal and illegal drugs. Research chemicals have not been through research trials and hence cannot be used for human consumption. Their short and long term uses are not clearly specified. This class of drugs is really broad and covers diverse chemical space. A wide range of compounds come under the term research chemicals. Some of these include, 4mec, 3mmc, Pentidrone etc.

Research chemicals are experimental chemicals they have been designed to produce effects that are similar to other drugs such as Ecstasy amphetemines, Cannabinoids or Psychoactive drugs. These drugs are sometimes called designer drugs or legal highs. These types of drugs are described as Research chemicals because these substances are new and have very little information about them regarding their effects. Toxicity is often unknown and information about their experiences is based on small human studies.

Mephedrone is one such drug, generally known as a party drug. There is no formal documentation of the side effects of these drugs, they are only known via its users. Some of the side effects include dilated pupil, sweating, euphoria, stimulation, improved mental functions, decreased hostility, increased love for music and mild sexual stimulation. These effects are similar to ones caused by MDMA, Cocaine depending on how the drug is taken. Almost no long term effects of the drug are known as it is still in its nascent stage. Reports say people who have used the drug for 18th months have become addicted to it. Because of its similarity to Cathinone, it may cause impotence in long tern use.

Another research chemical includes 4mec or Methylethcathinone. Erowid a user of this chemical has posted some of his experience. Here goes,

# CAUTION & DISCLAIMER #
Erowid’s effects information is a summary of data gathered from users, research, and other resources. This information is intended to describe the range of effects people report experiencing. Effects may vary dramatically from one person to another or one experience to another based on a variety of factors such as body chemistry, age, gender, physical health, dose, form of material, etc.

Research chemicals have just entered the market. Due to their easily availability they are being used for personal use as well. Some drugs such as Methylmethcathinone (3mmc) are known as party drugs. Chemicals like Pentidrone are not so easily available.

Meisner Acting
Scene Study

In a general sense scene study is the breaking down of a scene in a play and looking at how an actor’s character fits into the story as a whole. The Meisner acting technique uses scene study to delve even deeper, looking at specific details relating to the characters, their interactions, relationships, analysis of what happened “offstage” to propel the character into the scene–the list goes on. Playwrights have very meaningful reasons for putting characters into scenes and it is the actor’s responsibility to dig as deeply as possible into every nuance of the character and how it effects not only the scene but the development of the overall story.

It is practically useless to do any scene study without first mastering the fundamentals of the craft of acting. An actor studying Meisner acting techniques must first approach and break down the barriers, the emotional “habits” they have formed throughout life. From basic temperament to upbringing to social mores, we are programmed to instinctively react in a unique way. These can be an impediment to an actor who must learn to react and have the emotional habits of many different people, the characters they play.

Breaking down these barriers and emotional blocks is exhausting, demanding and exhilarating. Above all, it is absolutely necessary. The result is an actor who has learned how to move effortlessly from one emotional landscape to another. They have learned to imagine and internalize an entire library of complex feelings, reactions and impulses, from suppressed rage to intense sorrow, extreme vulnerability to subtle hysteria–if you can name it they can immerse themselves in it quickly and truthfully.
Most actors with any knowledge understand that acting is not a simple craft. However, simplicity is the cornerstone of great acting. How does that work?

Mastery of scene study and combining it with the fundamentals of the craft is one way actors can “give way” onstage and perform simply and freely as the character with all of the attending mannerisms, nuances, impulses, emotional responses, etc. that make it truthful and authentic.

The type of detailed scene study outlined below is one of the best tools an actor has to truly develop a living breathing character that they can call on at will. If one has studied in a rigorous way, they will find they have an ability to listen fully, respond spontaneously and be completely focused in the proper way as they react moment by moment onstage. This is the best way to be fully immersed in the reality as it unfolds onstage and give evocative, mesmerizing performances that seem to be happening in the moment rather than being memorized and rehearsed.

There are many, many things to consider when approaching scene study work–most of them relating to the character’s point of view. Here are just a few of the questions an actor must ask when approaching the development of a scene:

1) What is the story really about? Only by reading the script over and over will this
become clear.

2) How does this scene fit into the overall story and how is my character being dramatized
in it?

3) What happened offstage that propelled my character into the scene?

4) How would it make me feel? How does the character feel?

5) How are the characters in the scene relating to each other as the scene
progresses? How does my character feel as it progresses?

6) What is my character’s main objective?

7) What are my character’s actions?

8) How are those actions leading him or her to the objective
(or away from it? )

9) What kind of issues does my character have in the scene?

10) What is my idea for the part? How will I play the character?

This list is superficial at best but, it does give some idea of the types of things that need to be researched, thought about and integrated into the deeper understanding of a character. If you have done the necessary homework, if you remain open to what happens without trying to anticipate, if you are emotionally and physically present your talent will take over and your best work will rise up out of you and flow freely from an unconscious place.

There are always moments in any creative process, especially acting, when you feel as if you don’t know anything. This is a wonderful place to be. It will give you an opportunity to struggle in a new way with the material. It’s a struggle that will help you uncover a personal resonance with the text and the circumstances of the play and discover things about yourself and your character that will ultimately result in a higher caliber performance–if you let it. It is essential to love that struggle as much as you love acting.
