Yoga For Students

"Want to have a healthy heart? Practice yoga daily as Indian researchers have claimed that breathing exercises, stretching, relaxation and meditation improve heart health "

According to the researchers at IIT-Roorkee in Uttarakhand, heart rate variability, a sign of a healthy heart, has been shown to be higher in yoga practitioners than in non-practitioners.

The team said that in their preliminary study of 84 volunteers, there was strengthening of parasympathetic (vagal) control in subjects who regularly practice yoga, which is indicative of better autonomic control over heart rate and so a healthier heart.

Kids Love With Pets

"Though our brains aren’t ‘wired’ to love dogs, the latter ‘hijack’ the same neural mechanisms that bond us to our kids"

1.   “A dog is not ‘almost human’ and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to describe it as such,” writes author John Holmes. And yet the reasons we love our dogs are deeply human indeed. 
2. Psychologist John Bowlby’s “attachment theory” identifies two important characteristics of the parent-infant bond in mammals and birds: one, the desire for physical proximity, and an attempt to restore it when separated; two, the display of individual recognition and ‘special’ behaviour toward one another that does not occur with others of their species. 
3. A puppy’s constant need for our specific presence and attention – along with its large forehead, big eyes and chubby cheeks that we find biologically irresistible – tricks our brains into loving him as we would our child. In essence, we aren’t ‘wired’ to love our dogs, but rather they ‘hijack’ the same neural mechanisms that bond us to our children. 
4. Dogs and babies share one other important characteristic: they make us happy. Oxytocin is often described as the most important neurotransmitter responsible for social bonding. “Nicknamed the ‘cuddle chemical’ and the ‘love drug’, oxytocin has been found to dampen stress, combat depression, and breed trust in humans,” writes Ewen Callaway in the New Scientist. 
5. It also plays a key role in cementing the bond between parents and their infants and, as it turns out, dogs. A number of studies show that interaction between humans and their dogs – touching, eye contact, or play – produces a significant spike of oxytocin in both. 

Get The Knowledge Of Indian Current Issues

"At the first top-level meet since the Sino-Indian defence exchanges were suspended in July, Manmohan Singh tells Wen Jiabao that it’s imperative to work their way to solutions to the ‘difficult’ problems"

HANOI In the backdrop of concerns over stapled visas being given by China to Kashmiris, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday asked it to be sensitive to India’s “core issues” as he met Premier Wen Jiabao here, even as the two sides agreed to work their way to solutions to the “difficult” problems. 
    At the same time, the two leaders agreed that there was enough space in the world for both the countries to grow and they should cooperate and collaborate. In this regard, Wen will visit India by the end of this year, possibly in December, a step that was immediately welcomed by Singh at the meeting. 
    It was also decided at the 45-minute meeting that the Special Representatives of the two countries will meet by the end of this month to discuss “difficult” issues, including the boundary question. 

Youths Idea About Indian Future

"With a view to provide a platform to the youth to express their aspirations on India's future, ITC has unveiled a competition for students"

CAT Was Cool On First Day

"There was no mouse trouble for CAT this year. Day one of the second edition of the online Common Admission Test (CAT), that decides admission to Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and 150-odd business schools, went off without technical glitches on Wednesday. Last year, the test was not smooth due to technical problems galore"

Candidates, who braved the early morning showers in the city to make it to the exam centres, were pleasantly surprised by the easy format of the exam - and courteous volunteers at the centres.


"The exam was easy. There were 60 questions with 20 in each section. All sections had 8-9 sitters," said Dhruv, an engineering student.

With the nightmare of last year's technical fiasco still hanging heavily on their mind, Prometric, the American testing agency, tried every trick in the trade to ensure a glitch-free first day of the 29-day long exam season.


Only 4,548 (2.2%) of the total 2.06 lakh candidates had lined up to take the exam across India, including 10 centres in Bangalore. With the organisers expanding the testing period from 10 to 20 days this year, most centres had smaller groups turning up at each session for the exam.


At least two centres in Bangalore reported not having a single student taking the second session on Wednesday. Karthik (name changed), a Tommy Hilfiger employee, was the only candidate to report a tech-glitch at Bangalore's IBMT Business School. "The computer hung when I had five minutes to finish the exam. Immediately I was provided with another PC and given additional time to complete the test. But I was really nervous for those five minutes," he told .


Coaching centres pointed out two possible errors in the paper. "I could make out there was one question with incorrect options and the second one had a typographical error. Both were in the quantitative section," Gautam Puri, IIM-B alumnus and Career Launcher head, said.


Thursday will be a nontest day.

Designing The SSLC Notes

"Like music, the language of technology knows no bar. It may stun tech-savvy urbanites to know that a youth from a hamlet in North Karnataka has designed SSLC notes in the form of a DVD, to help rural students of the state"

Veeresh Kori, from a village near Talikoti of Bijapur district, through sheer passion, has designed the notes in both Kannada and English languages, as per the SSLC state syllabus.

 Kori completed his PU in science and got a seat for mechanical engineering, which he did not pursue due to abject poverty. He then underwent computer training for a short period and started a computer lab in Talikoti with the help of his relatives, where he trained rural students from 2007.

 Veeresh observed that rural SSLC students found it difficult to understand science. He conducted a survey of some villages of the district and discovered that about 40% of families had TV sets with DVD players. That's when the idea of designing a DVD on science subjects hit him. In the meanwhile, with a little encouragement from his parents, Amaresh and Shivabai, Kori joined a BCA course in PC Jabin Science College, Hubli, in 2008 and is now studying his 5th semester. But he continued to work on the DVD, devoting more than six months to the cause. He finally came out with a video DVD of notes for the subjects of science, which can be viewed on both a TV or a computer.

The DVD contains around 27 chapters on subjects pertaining to the science stream. Kori said: "I have presented a demo in most schools in North Karnataka. They are keen on trying it. If students follow this DVD, they will easily understand science subjects and score well."

 The DDPIs of Dharwad, Bijapur and Yadgir are planning to suggest thestudents. "I wanted to help middle class and rural students to understand tough subjects. I am also planning to bring out a DVD on other difficult subjects like Mathematics and English, but I have no intention of making money out of it," he added.

Test Your Language

"To help young students studying English as a foreign language, Educational Testing Service (ETS) has launched the TOEFL Junior test, a global assessment of middle school-level English language proficiency"

The first operational administration took place on Tuesday when more than 500 Korean middle school students took the test. Additional administrations will soon follow in 12 other countries, including France, Brazil, and Vietnam.


The TOEFL Junior test is a low-stakes assessment that measures the degree to which young students have attained language proficiency. It measures listening and reading ability, as well as knowledge of language form and meaning. It caters to the language-learning needs of students in the age group of 11 to 14.


"English proficiency is an increasingly important skill for students worldwide," explained Philip Tabbiner, senior vice-president, ETS Global & Partnerships. "With instructions beginning at an early age, mastering English expands students' access to a range of educational, personal and professional opportunities. This is especially true for public and private schools in English-dominant countries like the US, Canada and the UK, as well as international schools in non English-dominant countries."

Be Cool While Answering

"The CAT anxiety is palpable among those keyed up to take the test this year, starting Wednesday. The Common Admission Test is one of the toughest entrance exams for management college admissions in the country"

• CAT aspirants are concerned about not having satisfactorily 'covered' the course. But what experts advise is - don't get bogged down by pressure. Instead, use it constructively to improve performance.
  
  
• Experts also say that it's smart thinking that helps crack the CAT. For instance, Ajit Phadnis, an IIMB alumnus, an academic consultant with Career Launcher Pvt Ltd, says that if a student gets stuck in a question that appears to need rigorous calculations, then "the candidate is probably not dealing with it 'smartly' or that the smarter decision may be to simply leave it and move ahead. Many a time, rigorous calculations can be made simple by use of common sense approximations".
  
  
• The student should keep a contingency plan in place, adds Ajit. "I would suggest a plan of 30-35 minutes for each of the three sections and answer whatever you can. The rest of the time can be effectively used to improve sections which need it," he says.
  
  
• Whether a student makes it to the IIMs or not, he or she will surely be a better reader of reports, better creator and interpreter of graphs and quicker analyst, he adds on, saying, "In short, a better professional." Experts have some common advice: "stay cool" on the D-day while writing the exam and do not study anything new.

FOLLOW THE PATTERN

Byju Raveendran, founder, Byju Classes, says they have conducted special workshops during the past two weeks based on papers of previous years to familiarize candidates with test patterns, apart from giving students enough number of mock papers. "These workshops and tests give them hands-on experience," he says.

 On the day of the test, whether one solves the question from the answer options through formula or from a sheer hunch, makes absolutely no difference. "But focus should be on solving questions fast without compromising on accuracy. And the most important point which you may have heard a million times - keep cool and be confident. So do anything that works for you but feel confident about yourself on that day. Past performance, incomplete syllabus, fear of a section should all be replaced by one encompassing belief 'today is my day'," he says.

 Ajay Arora, director, TIME, Bangalore, feels a student should take mock tests depending on the availability of time and analyze them properly. "This is the time when rumour mills peak. Students should not get into them. Instead of checking with previous test takers on questions that appeared, students should just focus on preparation," he says.

MORE TIPS

• Revise all main concepts during the last week, do not mug up anything
• Relax! Read a current affairs book, play games, but do not exhaust yourself. If you are daring enough, you can even hit the theatre
• Don't revise anything new in the last moment
• Take as many mock tests as possible

No Mental Pressure For Tennis Kids

"There is something about children who opt for the open school system and are into home schooling. Otherwise interested in sports, they are academically brilliant and usually outshine regular school goers"

1. For example, most of the kids who train at the High Performance Tennis Centre housed in the KSLTA premises are into home schooling. These kids seem to be in their element when exam time draws nigh, scoring in the 80 percent and above bracket.
   
   
2. Sunil Yajaman, HPTC director, says, "Tennis kids are smart. Their grasping power is very strong. They undergo a lot of pressure during matches and are no strangers to challenges. For them, exams are a replication of the challenges they face on the court. These kids don't need to go to school daily and can easily make up for lost time."
   
   
3. Asked to outline the academy schedule for the wards, Yajaman said, "The schedule is drawn depending on the individual's height, weight, attitude and mental toughness."
   
   
4. He said, "We begin at 8.45 - 9 in the morning and the kids generally go through an hour of fitness based on agility and speed. This is followed by two hours of technical and tactical hitting of tennis balls after which they take a two hour break for lunch and rest. Post rest, they are back on court for a two-hour match play where they compete with each other and practise what they learnt during the morning session.
   
   
5. This is followed by a fitness hour again. Twice a week, they undergo endurance training and at the end of the day, they shower,have a snack and are ready to leave for home or the hostel."

Get Into the Race

"There may be fewer candidates appearing for CAT this year, but the test is getting a tad difficult for the IIM-B aspirants"

Ahead of the second edition of the online Common Admission Test (CAT) starting on Wednesday, the Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore (IIM-B) has released the admission policy for the class of 2011-13. Traditionally, the cut-off has been increasing every year.

• The minimum cut-offs for the 2011 batch will be based on the CAT 2010 scores and the first shortlist will be drawn up based on candidate's performance in CAT.
  
  
• The sectional cut-offs for candidates under different categories jumped for the current batch (2010-12). While minimum percentile requirement in quantitative section was 70% for the general category for the 2009 batch, it went up to 80% for the current batch. Sectional cut-offs for candidates under Other Backward Classes (OBC) also went up from 60% to 70% in quantitative section and 75% to 80% for verbal section. There was, however, no change in the aggregate cut-offs. The aggregate cut-off was 60% for differently abled candidates while it was 90% under general category.
  
  
• Overall, CAT score will have a weightage of 20, while it will be 15 and 10 for class 10 and 12 scores, respectively. Candidates' performance in the bachelors programme will carry weightage of 15 and personal interview (PI) will carry 20 points.
  
  
• During the interview process, candidates will have to write a single-page note on a topic given by the B-school within the allotted time of 30 minutes.
  
  
• Two interviewers will evaluate candidates' performance on the note and personal interview. For candidates with work experience, each interviewing faculty will evaluate the quality and relevance of a candidate's work experience. "These scores, in combination with the pre-PI selection parameters, will be used cumulatively in the second and final phase of selection to identify the candidates who will merit selection from among those candidates who appear for the personal interview," the policy states.

CAREER OPTIONS

• Setting up one's own bakery has yielded many success stories. "Start with a small set up, may be worth one lakh rupees or so. Do not invest in machines at one go. Try to get a good turn over and earn profit," said Dr. S V Suresha, who is the coordinator, bakery training unit.

Chasing Her Dream

"Just 15, and she's chasing her big dream: to represent India at the next Commonwealth Games to be held at Glasgow in 2014. She's got the wind in her feet and nothing stops her, not even poverty back home"

• Meet Priyanka V, aspiring athlete and daughter of an auto driver in Bangalore. She loves conquering the 800m and 1,500m races. Last month, she set a record in the 1,500m (Under-16 category), clocking just 4 minutes 56 seconds at a state-level school competition.


• Her family has no money to fuel her passion but so far, she has won her way by performing and winning races. Missing any race costs her dear - the more she performs, the closer she gets to her big dream through scholarships. Over the past three years, she has won over 50 medals, and her file of certificates is thick with just these two race events.


• The family lives in a small rented house in Arvind Nagar on Oil Mill Road, which is quite cramped, and Priyanka finds it difficult to even line her prize cups safely.

EDUCATIONAL BOOST

• Her constant wins in school competitions at the taluk and state-level competitions elevated her from the local government school near her house to the Jain International Residential School campus on Kanakapura Road. Last year, she was the only candidate to be selected here under the sports quota, with a 40% discount in education fees. Presently, she's undergoing rigorous training at the Jain Centre for Sports Talent Transformation Academy within the campus.


• Her continuous performance in sports is also likely to win her 100% free education next year. "She is very talented and has a bright future. She never gives up,'' says N Byregowda, her assistant trainer at the centre.


• Priyanka's father K Venukumar is elated about his daughter's performance, but her big dream worries him. Paying her discounted fee for school itself puts the family into a severe financial crunch. She is sent home once in a while but at times, just driving her back home from school in his auto seems difficult, considering the fuel expense.


• "I will be most happy if she gets to perform in the CWG, but our financial condition makes it seem a bit difficult. But I will ensure that she does not give up performing,'' he says, hugging her tight before dropping her back to school. His parting line is in good humour: "She's my only customer who I don't charge the meter!''
