Letter from Franklin’s desk
It can be a big wow when you slow down from the business of everyday life, and you observe where you are coming from and where you going to.
The past year has been one of those wow moments when the end of another year arrived in a surprisingly exciting form, when we realise that we are having so much fun and the diary has almost no days left. As the magic of development and beauty graced us till the very last of the month.
We have celebrated our ‘Change Agents’ in the making graduating in Malmesbury and Worcester Prison, our Ivy Nyovane Teachers graduating their Montessori Training; We have been incredibly blessed with both our ‘Parole Portfolio’ where you wil meet Monwabisi Mbetane, who graces his community with ballroom dancing lessons as part of his COC Activation and further development at Ivy Nyovane Educare Centre. You will also find our outreach for lovely musical talent in the community of Elsies River.
So join us as we say farewell to 2014, with hugs and warm wishes as we spend quality time with our families during the festive season, discovering new horizons to inspire us for a new year.
Enjoy Turqouise – the December edition for 2014.
Happy holidays from the desk!
Love Franklin

This document summarizes a study that investigated the ability of charcoal produced from coffee grounds to remove an acidic dye called acid orange 7. The charcoal was produced by carbonizing coffee grounds at different temperatures. Higher carbonization temperatures increased the charcoal's surface area and pore volume. Adsorption tests found that charcoal carbonized at higher temperatures absorbed more acid orange 7 and achieved higher removal rates from solutions. Kinetic analysis indicated the rate-limiting step in adsorption was intraparticle diffusion of acid orange 7 into the charcoal pores. The study suggests charcoal from coffee grounds could be useful for removing acidic dyes from wastewater.

1) The experiment involves transferring the mycelium from a spent sawdust mushroom growing block to a glass jar layered with coffee grounds and sawdust. This provides the mycelium with a new substrate to colonize and fruit mushrooms from.
2) As the mycelium spreads throughout the layered substrate, it will eventually form mushrooms containing spores.
3) Students are encouraged to document their observations in a notebook using drawings and notes to track the growth process and time required for the mushrooms to fully bloom.

Termites can cause serious damage to wooden structures, so their presence is feared by homeowners. However, seeing flying termites does not always mean a building is infested, as a careful inspection is required to confirm. Three common termite species in California are subterranean, dampwood, and drywood termites, each requiring different management approaches. If termites have invaded a home, contact a professional for help controlling the infestation through destroying shelter tubes, removing infested wood, or using pesticides, with special procedures needed to prevent environmental contamination.
This document provides information on sycamore scale, a damaging pest of sycamore trees in California. It affects several species of sycamore trees and looks different than other scales due to its small size. It can be identified by yellow or orange scales on leaf undersides within whitish spots. Feeding causes leaf spots and drop as well as abnormal bark loss on young trees. Natural enemies include ladybird beetles, and management involves monitoring for eggs in winter/spring and applying horticultural oil or insecticidal soap at bud break if populations are high.
This document discusses how exposure to toxic chemicals may be harming human development from prenatal development through adulthood. It notes that scientists can find over 100 industrial chemicals in people's bodies and that exposure comes through food, consumer products, homes and personal care products. The timing of exposure is important, as chemicals can interfere with development during critical windows and have effects that appear later in life. Mixtures of chemicals may cause greater harm than individual chemicals. The document reviews evidence linking chemical exposures to conditions like preterm birth, learning disabilities, obesity, declining fertility and some cancers. It concludes that reducing exposures through policy changes can improve public health outcomes.
The windscorpion, also known as camel spider or sun spider, is a predatory arachnid found in California and the Southwest. It grows up to 1.5 inches long with large jaws and leglike pedipalps used to capture prey. Windscorpions feed at night on insects and small animals, and while they look threatening, their bite is not dangerous to humans. Though they occasionally enter homes, windscorpions should not be killed but safely caught and released outside as they are a beneficial predator of insects.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Mosquitoes require standing water to breed and develop through egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages. Effective control strategies focus on eliminating breeding sites to reduce mosquito populations over the long term, and targeting the aquatic larval stages before adults emerge. Natural methods like using larvivorous fish in ornamental ponds or applying Bti, a bacterial insecticide, to larval habitats can help control mosquito breeding with less risk of harming other organisms than adulticides pose.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Presentatie 4. Jochen Cremer - TU Delft 28 mei 2024
XPeerience 2013/14 Edition 2
1.
2. Hello People!!
Since the last edition of this newsletter, XIMB has been buzzing with tons of activity. Why? Well there was this huge event called
Xpressions that happened! Yes, the biggest management fest in Eastern India was held here from 8th to 10th of November. After
months of preparation and night-long toil, those three days defined another year of exhibiting XIMB to the rest of the country.
Business events included Kurukshetra, Gladiator, Skill City, Helios and Spardha, cultural events like Goonj, Thirkan and the
debut of Big Xpressions and a jam packed Celebrity night featuring the impressive Arijit Singh put Xpressions 2013 on a very high
level.
On the sports front, an inter-section cricket tournament for the first year
students was held on the weekend of 23rd and 24th November, with
section B coming out on top, defeating section C in the final.
Congratulations section B!
The Volleyball for boys and Throwball tournaments for girls respectively
For first year students were also played this past weekend. In Throwball,
the girls of section B came out victorious with a win over HRM in the final.
In volleyball, section C triumphed beating section B in the final. The match of the tournament was the volleyball semi-final
between section C and section D, which was fought till the end with section C clinching a five point win in the
final set. Congratulations to the girls of section B and the boys f section C!
We are looking forward to many such sporting events in the future.
6. Nikhil
Soft spoken, warm, friendly and a hit with the ladies (couldn’t resist :-P), Nikhil sat down with Peerie a few days after the successful
completion of Xpressions for this interview. Here’s what he had to say…
•Which event at XIMB made you feel like you had come to the right place?
It was during the Class Rep elections. I had the experience of being a CR
earlier, and it gave me a feeling that I could continue the same work here.
•That one moment when you first felt you were an XIMBian?
I think it was during Maxinations. There were a lot of events going on. There
was a lot of group spirit. We were able to gel with our seniors. It was a very
nice feeling.
•Name the person/ people without whom you think your XIMB journey
would be incomplete.
There are a whole lot of people and it’s difficult to mention any particular
name. If I had to name a few they would be, in no particular order,
Subramanian, Aditya Panigrahi, Nidhi, Ajay Jolly, Sreenesh, Shajna, Gokul,
‘the B-Blockers’ and of course Mithun,
Manish, Munish and Subhranshu; I
have been virtually living with them for the past
few months.
•How much has XIMB lived up to your expectations?
XIMB was second last on my list of B-schools that I applied to. But after I came here and met people, I
realized it is no less than the others, be it smartness or academic rigor or the type of events we organize.
We have some really brilliant faculty as well. With every new experience, I am getting better and better.
Being a fresher I am thrilled with the type of learning experience XIMB has offered me.
7. •What made you decide to be a part of the SEC?
The entire batch had felt the need for a change at that time and I felt I could bring that about. Also I had huge support from my batch,
which gave me the confidence to take up the job. Most importantly, the kind of management experience that I would get being in the SEC
is immense. I saw that as an opportunity.
•How has the past year been, as the Treasurer of the SEC, XIMB? Tell us about the various challenges faced.
It has been extremely challenging and hectic. There were so many tasks at hand with hardly any time. Trying to do justice to each one of
them was not easy. And I also realized no matter how good you do or how hard you try, there will be people who will criticize your work.
Then there was Xpressions which involved a lot of planning. And securing sponsorship was the biggest challenge of all as we had
targeted to recoup part of last year’s deficit as well. But the economic scenario made it extremely difficult.
Describe the entire Xpressions 2013 process for us. What it took from inception, conception, organization and delivery?
Even before the preparations had started, we had some major issues. The biggest among them was the budget deficit. This raised
questions about hosting Xpressions this year. All the event related work was handled by the respective committee and that was going on
smoothly. The only issue was with sponsorship and this was our main focus all the time as everything else depended on it. We had to cut
costs at lot of places and at the same time had to ensure that Xpressions does not lose it glamour. Though the work had started months
ago, we could see the results coming in only during the last few days. So it was necessary for us to keep each other motivated all the
time. There were times when things weren’t going good and we at one point had actually decided to cancel Celeblitz. But then somehow
things started falling in place and we were able to pull it off.
The final day of Xpressions was really exhilarating. The whole campus was full of excitement and that’s
when we realized that Xpressions had become a great success. Leading up to and during Xpressions we
used to work around 12-14 hours a day but now suddenly it has all disappeared. Post Xpressions, the
days have become very boring.
Tell us about your interest in chess. Do you still pursue it?
Before I came to XIMB, I used to focus on chess. Just before I joined XIMB I was free for around three to
four months. During that time I played around 2000 games online. But now I hardly get time. Though I
do take part in the chess matches held here, now it has become more of a pass time.
8. Rahul
We see him at all cultural events. His wonderful voice has moved us all. Peerie caught up with Rahul Rai to ask him a few questions
about this journey through and in XIMB over the past 18 months. Here’s what he said…
•Which event at XIMB made you feel like you had come to the right
place?
I think it was during Parichay. I had performed and I love doing that. It
was my first event and performance here. I had sung "Mora saiyan
mose bole na". I was aware of ximb life from my college days because
of my seniors. From the very first day on campus, I started loving it. I
have tried my best not to miss any event.
•That one moment when you first felt you were an XIMBian?
When the seniors welcomed us by throwing water on us. In RM we have
one extra VIVA session where they get us together and then throw water
on us.
•Name the person/ people without whom you think your XIMB
journey would be incomplete.
There are many. Pallav Bhatt, Munish
Gill, Pradeep Sharma, Ipshit Bagchi,
Happy - to name a few. We have had some
wonderful times together. Last time during
Xuberance we all had gone for a night out to
Konark at 12 am. It was a crazy thing we
had done.
•Your role as a member of RMAX.
When I came to XIMB, I wanted to be a member of RMAX. I
was happy I got selected as a shadow member. In the core
team which was formed, everyone was from the shadow and
therefore we had a great understanding among ourselves.
As a team I think we are great. We bagged four big
sponsors for RMAX. This had never happened earlier.
Needless to say, Naseem is a great Coordinator. I
thoroughly enjoyed working with him.
9. •Your comments on Gramotsava.
For this year’s RMAX, we had started working as soon as the core team was formed. He had to handle a lot of things starting from
logistics to the actual execution. I think the location for this year’s Gramotsava could have been somewhere else. Site selection was a
huge problem. Pulling in crowds was also an area of concern, but I think the team pulled it off really well. It was also the first time that
we published our magazine. It was a great achievement. My special thanks to team Illuminatix specially Meghna, Lavina and Anil for
their support in Media work and promotion. This year the promotion and media coverage was more than that of last year and
it happened only because of team Illuminatix.
•Your comments on being a part of two Xpressions now. How was this year’s Xpressions different from last year’s?
It had rained last year during Xpressions. This year the weather was great and Xpressions was much better. I think there was a little
mismanagement for the Celeblitz night. The number of passes handed out was more than capacity. But still the event was handled well.
There were many good events in Xpressions. Time management was also great.
•We (the first years) heard you sing for the first time in Parichay, and we were floored. Tell us a bit more about your singing?
Music was always been my passion. I had performed for the first time during my college. I have had no formal training in singing. I just
enjoy it.
•Tell us about your role in pitching to companies. How challenging was the experience?
I had to pitch for companies for Gramotsava. I was a pretty difficult task. There had to be continuous
follow-up calls. It required a great deal of commitment from our end. We had to contact the zonal offices,
from there we had to find out information about people whom to contact. After contacting 12-13 companies, I
was able to convert Mahindra two wheelers and Swaraj Tractors. Generally it takes around 1-2 months to get
companies confirmed. Sometimes even after giving their word, the companies do not respond and at the final
moment they back out.

11. Send in your entries to media@ximb.ac.in. The first two entries will get a mention
in the next edition.
12. It’s perhaps the only week of the term when everyone has the same activity on their mind, study. Yes you guessed it, end term
examinations approach us. The last minute doubt clarifications, notes exchange and catching up of three months worth of studies
definitely takes it toll. To add to that the numerous assignments, presentations and quizzes don’t make life any easier. Oh well! That’s
the life of a management student. We are supposed to Manage – our time, our efforts and our performance.
Many activities are already being planned post end-term, including an inter-section football tournament, an informal quizzing league
and loads others. Plus there is the much awaited return of those three letter…JLT!!
The correct answers of the last edition’s Who’s That X-Peer contest is Nikhil Mathew. The following are the names of the early bird
entries:
Saurav Ganguly
Harsh Mohapatra
CONGRATULATIONS!!
