Runner, musician, math whiz

Long before last falls cross country season, Sophie Chatas met with her coach to

figure out how to get from here to there. The doe-eyed, slender brunette wanted to

transform herself from a strong runner to a great one. Chatas was hungry for one last

trip to the state meet, after finishing back in the pack107ththe previous year.

Her drive was most impressive, says Lori Baldwin, head cross

country coach at Columbus School for Girls. Chatas began training

She went out fast that November morning at the 2011 state championship.But with 200 meters left, I was in 30th place, Chatas recalls. I dug down. I

began passing peoplewhat a feeling! She wound up 13th: a school record,

a personal best and an All-Ohio designation (given to state meet qualifiers with

a 3.5 GPA or better).

Determination like this is hard-wired into Chatas. The 18-year-old daughter of Geoff

and Katie Chatashes OSUs chief financial officer, shes an ardent community

volunteeris not just a gifted athlete. An honor student and National Merit Finalist,

Chatas has garnered awards for exceptional scores on the National Latin Exam and,

as CSGs top math student her junior year, received the Honda-OSU Math Medal.

Shes interned with OSUs Reading Recovery Program, helping youngsters read. A

staff member of the school newspaper and student council president, shes a visible

leader with what she admits is infectious school spirit.

Shes musical, too. A French horn player, Chatas has been a member of the

Youth Philharmonic of Central Ohio for four years. In her final performance

with them, shes happy to see Stravinskys Firebird Suite on the program,

which, she says, has a great horn part.

Digging in when things get tough, however, doesnt apply just to her running.

Math mayve been easy in the beginning, Chatas confesses, but I really

have to work in BC Calculus this year. Its an AP class, and its a challenge.

Her AP success rate, however, is high. An AP Scholar with Distinction, she

earned a 5 (the top score) on each of the five AP tests shes taken in a range

of subjects, from biology to comparative government.

After a trip to London with her family this summer for the Olympicstheyve

got tickets for beach volleyball, diving and track eventsand Greece to

connect with distant relatives, Chatas will attend Williams College in

Massachusetts. The Division III school has recruited her for track and cross

country. Chatas hasnt committed to either yet. Or a major.

IIM Raipur gets a reactor tender

Lucknow: Rolling up their sleeves, management students battled against

each other to come up with an idea to build an atomic reactor without

taking loans and generate quick profits from it. After much deliberation,

the government finally handed over the tender to a team from IIM Raipur.

This was, however, not a real tender process but one of the business

events titled L&T-Finesse at IIM-Lucknows annual business and

cultural fest Manfest-Varchasva. Giving it their best shot, B-schools

from across the country competed for the reactor tender.

Battling the brightest of the country, six teams presented their financial

and technical bid to put down their competitors. With less investment

and minimum hard work, the budding managers made use of the

latest technology that required minimum foreign intervention to

come up with the best idea. Lobbying their idea strongly, the teams

fought tooth and nail for the winners slot. For managing its

f inancials well and working in tandem with the externalenvironment, the team from IIM Raipur was adjudged the winner.

In the management event, The Next CEO, students were given a

task to get themselves appointed in a company. Already under

pressure, teams were asked to develop a strategy to work better.

While the employer wanted to appoint people on low salary

package, the job-seekers did not agree to the packages.

The event was endowed with foresight, functional expertise, confidence

and the rare ability to make decisions under severe pressure.

CAT 2014: Tips to get through a

Group Discussion in an impressive way

In continuation to our series of How to say it best from those who havemade it to IIMs or one of the best B schools. We ask some of the IIMs

students about how they prepared themselves for the most dreaded rounds

after CAT scores- Group Discussion and Personal Interview.

To secure admission in your dream college for MBA. Aspirants are selected

on the basis of consolidated percentile in CAT, Group discussion and

Personal Interview. Group discussion in simple term means discussion

among a group of people. The panel evaluates the candidates potential to

work and manage the team along with his/her clarity of thoughts while

communicating their opinions. A group of participants are made to discuss on

a topic or subject for a limited time and then assessed accordingly. It is a

chance for you to be more vocal.


15/68


Prashant Khullar alumnus of SIMC, Pune (Finance) shared some handytips that each and every aspirant must keep in mind while preparing them

for Group Discussion round.

1.Entering the GD: Contrary to what many esteemed trainers say, one

should only enter the GD when one has valid points. Being the first to do

so, leaves a good impression on the evaluator. But take the move only if

you have complete knowledge of the subject.

2.Rule of thumb:Enter before half of the group has spoken. But do not

repeat a point, or be lengthy or irrelevant. Intervene, if someone else is

going on an irrelevant track.

3. Be Expressive: Use quotes, facts and figures, statements, everyday life

examples to express a clear chain of thoughts. Also it might leave a good

impression on the examiner and help you score well.

4. Prepare your thoughts well:It is always good to enter the GD when

there is silence. Do not just go on and on and on with only your opinionated

view. Remember, it is a group discussion. Allow others to speak too. Using

body language to show entry and exit is yet another important way.

Eg: Slightly lean forward when you plan to enter and return to normal

position just as you end the point-this unconsciously gives your fellowaspirants cue to step in.

5.Strong Conclusions:Summaries should only have points already

mentioned and a conclusion may have a short summary but needs to have

point wise conclusions which the group has come to. Do not add new

points which you might have missed, however good they may seem.

6. And lastly, aspirants can use idea generating codes. One of them is Pop

Bean- People objects places behavior events actions names. It can help to

think alternately and bring something new on the table.

These are some basic yet very important tips that will help any aspirant to

feel a bit more confident in GD.

Dance rehearsals for the New Year bash are going on in full swing as

this time the residents of Venkojipalem plan to include fresh themes

such as dance, fancy dress, and elocution competitions involving

children. Residents say that its the way to celebrate special occasions

in their apartment blocks. Combined celebrations are organised with asense of belonging, and we share the responsibility, says N. Srinivas, a

Central Government employee residing in the colony. Apart from the


26/68


visible bonding over celebrations, what has drawn the residents closerto the locality is the accessibility to the neighbouring areas. Be it

Seetammadhara, MVP Colony, Hanumanthawaka, or Madhurawada,

every place is close from this area. For children, commuting to schools

is made much easier as the bus stop is just a few blocks away, says V.

Padmavathi, a resident. From one of the citys oldest colonies with less

traffic movement to the busiest hub that houses scores of people who

have settled here, Venkojipalem has come a long way. Petty shops, a

temple with a huge Hanuman idol, a burial ground, kirana stores, and

Swami Gnanananda Ashram dot the colony. Some of the colony

residents allege that slum-dwellers staying in the area are causing

inconvenience in many ways. They dump garbage opposite our

apartment and refuse to put it in the dustbin. The overflowing garbage

bins, a gedda (rainwater drain) that passes through the burial ground,

and the open drainage system raise a stink in the colony, say the

residents. It is this aspect that has drawn many a resident to

Venkojipalem

NEW YEAR REVELLERS GAME FOR THE BIG PARTY

Overcast sky and forecast of rain have cast a shadow on New Years

eve revelry. But hoteliers are keeping their fingers crossed with plansto shift events to indoor venues in case of rain. After a lull period post

Hudhud, which had an impact on the hospitality industry in the peak

tourist season, hotels and restaurants are gearing up to welcome the

New Year with full gusto by offering entertainment packages laced

with music, fashion shows, DJs, and a sumptuous array of food. Hotel

Novotel that is hosting three events one indoor and two outdoor

venues has a backup plan in place in view of the inclement weather.

For the rooftop and poolside parties, we have made alternative

arrangements to shift them indoors if it rains. The Casino Royale

event at V-Convention is being held in an indoor venue and the

response has been very encouraging so far, said MadhavBellamkonda, General Manager of Novotel Hotel. The hotel has lined

up events with Indian Idol finalist Ananya Mishra, Mexican vocalist


27/68


Valeria Gracia, and live bands to make it a lively and memorablenight. The New Years Eve party at Godavari Deck at The Gateway

Hotel promises to take the evening to a different level with pulsating

music, live entertainment, and an array of delectable snacks,

cocktails, and buffet spread at Godavari Hall. The programme is being

organised in coordination with Hampshire events. The Godavari

Deck, which is at an elevated level overlooking the sea, makes it an

ideal venue to host the most special event of the year. We are closely

monitoring the weather and in case it rains, we will shift the

programmes to Godavari Hall, said Souvik Bhattacharya, hotels

General Manager. The Park is hosting a seaside party with the theme

Hawaiian Night with South American and Columbian dancers, DJs, and

a delightful buffet spread. There will be Salsa and Latino dance

performances that will transform the beach into a dance floor. The

hotel has also planned for fireworks show at midnight to ring in the

New Year. High demand With all the four events at Hotel Four Points

being held at indoor venues, the demand for passes has been high,

according to hotels resident manager P.C. Rao. Passes for Banquets

event are sold out and we are optimistic of a good turnout at The

Eatery, Waves, and Panache, where we have a special line-up of

programmes, Mr. Rao added.

FORM PANEL TO MONITOR SAFETY AT SEZS

INTUC district general secretary Neerukonda Ramachandra Rao on

Monday expressed concern at fatal accident at Anjaneya Alloys

Limited, one of the units at AP Special Economic Zone, Atchutapuram

and demanded constitution of a high power committee to study the


28/68


implementation of labour laws and safety protocols in SEZs. In astatement, he said in most of the units in SEZs including APSEZ and

Jawaharlal Nehru Pharma City, Parawada, labour laws were not being

implemented. He said safety guidelines were also going for a toss

due to lack of supervision. Mr. Rao said the high power committee

comprising experts and representatives from various trade unions

should be asked to submit comprehensive recommendations on how

to improve the situation in SEZ units. He said the management of

Anjaneya Alloys Unit should give adequate compensation to the

family of a worker who died and to 10 others who were injured in

Sundays blast in one of the furnaces. According to him, two workers

had lost their vision due to severe burns.

ONLINE CLASSROOM LAUNCHED FOR VISUALLY CHALLENGED

Vision Aid Charitable Services Society has launched a virtual online

student stations for the visually challenged. The first two stations to

be connected online are Seva Bharati School for Visually Challenged

in Mangalore and Sushurta Eye Hospital in Kolkata. The online classroom that is equipped with a camera and computer was inaugurated

at Vision Aids centre at Ba Bapu Bhavan here on Monday by Director


29/68


of Centre for Policy Studies A. Prasanna Kumar. Lauding the work asextraordinarily creative, and service of Vision Aid, he said 20 per cent

of the urban slum dwellers suffer from vision impairment and it

needed to be addressed. It extends the education via internet using

the services of Gyaanmantra, a Delhi based call centre, says M.S.

Raju, president of Vision Aid, an IITian from Kharagpur. Vision Aid runs

the facility in collaboration with VAInc of USA of which his son

Ramakrishna Raju is founder director. While the school is here, the

student station can be anywhere and requires a computer fitted with a

camera costing Rs.10,000. Of the amount Rs.5,000 is given as support

by Vision Aid and it installs the equipment also. It is extremely

difficult for the vision impaired to lead their life and carry out dailyroutine. Hence, we have prepared orientation and mobility training

manual and handbook for them, elaborates Mr. Raju. V ision Aid also

offers Administrators of Application for V ision Impaired to train B.Ed.

and D.Ed. teachers. Mr. Raju says while the country turns out six lakh

teachers every year only 600 are trained in handling visually

challenged. If trained regular teachers can identify and help the

visually impaired. The online facility can help train two lakh teachers.

A 50-lesson certificate course will improve the employability of the

visually impaired, says Mr. Raju.

CITY BOY MAKES A MARK IN CAT IIM

FOCUS ON SAFETY AUDIT AT INDUSTRIES

Though safety apparatus is being reviewed nothing is materialising

Frequent industrial accidents notwithstanding the talk of safety audit

have remained an empty rhetoric. It has become a normal practice to

review the safety apparatus vis vis the protocols being

implemented for occupational safety and health whenever a major

accident occurs but in practice nothing concrete is materialising, say

trade union leaders. Another point for deplorable track record, some

due to safety negligence and others due to pollution, is stated to be

lack of supervisory mechanism for want of manpower by the AP

Pollution Control Board, Factories, Fire and other concerned

departments. Though there was a proposal to locate the

headquarters of APPCB in the city due to location of several industrial

units, there appears to be no serious move in this regard as yet. The

death of one worker and injuries sustained by 10 others at Anjaneya

Alloys Limited in a furnace blast at AP Special Economic Zone on

Sunday is a case in point on the need for regulator safety audit. Some

of the workers injured in the accident told Ministers Ganta Srinivasa

Rao, Ch. Ayyanna Patrudu and CPI (M) team led by State Secretariat

member Ch. Narsinga Rao that despite warning on water leakage no

immediate action was taken to halt production. Its a matter ofserious concern that there is no let-up in industrial accidents. We

have to review the safety situation and conduct audit each industry-

wise, Mr. Srinivasa Rao said. Visakhapatnam has witnessed some of

the worst industrial accidents. Two engineers of a private firm died

following suspected gas leakage in June at Visakhapatnam Steel

Plant. Frequent gas leakages have been reported in some of the units

at Jawaharlal Nehru Pharma City, Parawada. Three workers died in

fire at Hetero Drugs, Nakkapalli last year. While 19 died in an

explosion at oxygen pressure reduction station of VSP on June 13,

2012, cooling tower collapse at HPCL Visakh Refinery claimed 27

lives on August 23, 2013. All these accidents buttress our claim ondeteriorating safety status of our industrial establishments mainly


31/68


due to over-dependence on outsourcing and cost reduction, saidINTUC district president Mantri Rajasekhar.

DONT CROSS YOUR LIMITS POLICE TO REVELLERS

The city police have drawn up an elaborate plan with a number of

restrictions to restrain the New Year revellers from going overboard

and to maintain law and order during the celebration time. The

Commissioner of Police incharge Atul Singh informed The Hindu that

the celebration time, be it at the hotels or at any public places and

clubs, will have to close by 1 a.m. Cautioning the tipsy drivers, he said

that special mobile squads will be on the move from 8 p.m. onwardsand drivers under the influence of alcohol will be taken to task. It is

estimated that about 50 squads will be on the move to check drunken

driving and about 1,300 police including a few armed squads will be on

duty to restrain the revellers. Mr. Atul Singh also pointed out that party

organisers should obtain prior permission from the police for hosting

programmes and all programmes should be restricted between 8 p.m.

and 1 a.m. The organisers should provide adequate security

arrangement and will have to take up the responsibility of installing CC

TV cameras at strategic points at the venue, he said. Mr. Singh also

pointed out that any kind of obscenity such as obscene dances and eve

teasing will be strictly condemned and people will be taken to task. He

cautioned that alcohol will not be served without obtaining special

permission from the Excise Department. Beach road to remain closed

The Beach Road will remain closed from Coastal Battery to VUDA Park

for traffic from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. the next day. We have seen a lot of

accidents taking place on the Beach Road in the past and moreover, a

large of number of people gather on the night. Closing the Beach Road

is a precautionary measure. Even the GVMC flyover at Asilmetta will

also remain closed during the same period, he said. 50 mobile squads

JICA TEAM VISITS NTPC SIMHADRI

A team deputed by Japan International Cooperation Agency JICA

visited NTPC Simhadri Super Thermal Power Station at Parawada on

Monday. JICA had funded StageI of Simhadri 2 x500 MW. The team

came for a periodical review of the project. The team consisting of

Takako Hirose, professor, Senshu University, Takahiro Sato, professor,

Kobe University, Masayuki Kitagawa, associate professor, Kobe

University, Kazitoshi Tamari, post doctoral fellow, JSPS, Atsushi

Fukumi, associate professor, University of Hyogo and Manabu Furita,

research student, Kyoto University were part of the team. They visited

plant, seawater pump house and planted saplings in the township at

Sanjeevani Ayurvedic Park. The team also interacted with the

stakeholders of neighbouring villages to find out activities taken up by

NTPC Simhadri under corporate social responsibility programme.

VEERAVARAM COMING BACK TO NORMAL: SP

Veeravaram, the native village of a spiritual leader Gemmela

Sanjeeva Rao who was killed by the Maoists near Korukonda shandy

in Visakha Agency on October 29 and his friends and relatives

clobbered to death two Maoists in retaliation, is returning to normal,Superintendent of Police Koya Praveen said. The villagers vacated

Veeravaram after being threatened by the Maoists who also warned

them that they had identified 19 persons involved in the attack and

would try them in the Praja court. We are sending them

(villagers) back to Veeravaram in batches. presence of Maoists in

the Agency was not much. They were seen at some places during the

PLGA week (observed during early December), Dr. Praveen said

during the year-end press conference. He said that CPI (Maoist)

general secretary Ganapathi had not been present in the Andhra-

Odisha border area in recent past. SI surrendered On the surrender

to the department of the Sub-Inspector in the case involvingPayakaraopeta MLA V. Anitha, Dr. Praveen said the officer should have

informed higher officials after he had booked the case. It was


33/68


embarrassing for him and others when the office of AP Assembly hadsought details of the case booked against MLA, he said. A case was

filed against Ms. Anitha for allegedly beating up a person. Ganja

cases Huge quantity of ganja which was being cultivated in the

Agency and smuggled to different places in the country had been

seized during this year. But tracing the kingpins behind the illegal act

was proving to be difficult since their link with those smuggling ganja

could not be established. They were acting cleverly and persons

engaged to transport ganja would know to take it from one point to

another and they were not aware who was actually organising the

whole operation, Dr. Praveen said. During this year, the Maoists had

killed there persons and were involved in two cases of blasting and

resorted to violence during the elections. Nine persons, including a

professor of Andhra University, were arrested on the charge of having

explosives or weapons with them or transporting them. Nine important

underground Maoists were arrested and 19 others had surrendered.

They were among 83 arrested and 82 surrendered persons.

BEACH EROSION MAY BE SEVERE THIS YEAR

Scores of visitors to R. K. Beach were in for a shock on Monday as

they watched furious sea waves advancing towards the coast,menacingly licking the walls of the footpath along the beach road

from Kursura Museum to R.K. Beach. This severely eroded beach

stretch had been a constant reminder to the gruesome impact of

cyclone Hudhud. The erosion activity, which normally occurs during

this time of the year, is, however pronounced, threatening to cause a

permanent damage to the beach. During the cyclone, vast quantities

of sand had been deposited on the land from the beach leading to a

severe loss of beach. But experts point out that seasonal erosion may

have dealt a double blow to the beach stretch. Scientist in charge of

the National Institute of Oceonography NIO V.S.N. Murty said coastal

erosion was a common phenomenon but this time the erosion mayhave been more marked. During the northeast monsoon, sea erosion

occurs.

Gujarat Technological University joins handswith two Chinese Varsities

The Gujarat Technological University (GTU) has tied up with two

Chinese universities by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU)

in a move to accelerate academic cooperation and student/faculty

exchange between the varsities. The two Chinese Universities,

Zhenjiang and Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan

have agreed to conduct exchange programs for students and educational

partnerships.

Commonly referred to as GTU, the Gujarat Technological University isa statewide institution affiliating many esteemed engineering, pharmacy,

and management colleges and varsities across the western Indian

Districts of Gujarat. To ensure more efficient, and systematic imparting

of technical education the memorandum was inked on Wednesday.

GTU registrar G P Vadodariya, according to newspaper reports said

that the MoU has been signed to design an eight-week summer intern-

ship programme between the universities where the students and faculty

exchange can take place and joint research can be carried out. "We are

also establishing a Chinese language centre at the GTU to assist stu-

dents", he further added.

GTU officials further explained that they are in talks for dual degree

arrangement for which they will have to streamline the courses and

specialization. The university had earlier entered into a MoU by joining

hands with Sias International University at Xinzheng on November 28,

2013.

As per official sources, four universities of Gujarat including GU, will

sign MoUs with various Chinese universities for summer internships,

research among other fields of academics in January 2015, during the

Vibrant Gujarat summit.

The vice-chancellor of GU, M N Patel was called for a meeting at the

time of signing of the memorandum where he was asked by the stategovernment to look into fields of academics which can be subjects for

MoUs during the Vibrant Gujarat summit, said sources.

JNU professor Priyadarshini Mukherjee con-

ferred with China's top literary award

Bringing another laurel to the county, Jawaharlal National University's

(JNU) professor Priyadarshini Mukherhee has bagged China's top most

literary award - The Special Book Award. Mukherjee has written many

books and has also done translations, but his main work, for which he

was recognised for the award was his translation of the poetry of Mao

Tse-Tung into Bengali, which was published in 2012.

Mukherjee, who has completed his higher education from JNU and had

grown up on the campus of Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur,

had a penchant for learning new languages since he was a young boy.

His father, who taught at IIT, spoke several languages - French, Ger-

man, Chinese and Russian among others - and Mukherjee picked up

smatterings. As per sources, His CV on the JNU website lists over a

dozen languages he knows well enough to read and write, as reported

by a daily.

He said that when they started, China wasn't a big economic power.

1978-79 saw just the beginning of the reform that made it one. Their

generation studied the language simply because they were passionate

about it and that the focus has changed now as most of the students

take jobs in MNCs right after graduation and that they haven't even

caught up the language properly by then.

Mukherjee has also translated several works from Chinese to other

languages and to Chinese as well. Many of his contemporary Chinese

poems were translated from Chinese to Hindi. He covered various

languages like Chinese and Spanish, which he did individually andsometimes with the help of other translators.
