Already at the end of August, the morning shofar blasts sound from shuls announcing that summer is ending and Rosh Hashanah is around the corner. Every day after shacharit during the month of Ellul, the shofar is sounded. As the Mishnah Berurah explains, Ellul is a time of special love and closeness between us and God.
The 40 days from the beginning of Ellul until Yom Kippur correspond
There is a widespread notion that a mezuzah - which it is a mitzvah to fix to the right doorpost of every room in your house except the bathroom - is a sort of Jewish good luck charm, a source of protection for the home. The passage from the second paragraph of the Shema that speaks of mezuzah implies as much, saying "in order that your days shall be long, and the days of your children".
Should observant Jews be vegetarians? On the one hand, as the ethical and environmental costs of meat production become better known, eating meat becomes harder to defend. On the other hand, eating meat has value in Judaism.
The most famous custom in memory of the destruction of the Temple is the bridegroom smashing a glass at the end of the wedding ceremony. Some Eastern communities broke a piece of pottery. There was a custom in Russia of throwing the glass against a wall instead.
We are in the nine-day period leading up to Tishah b'Av when we remember and mourn the destruction of Jerusalem 1,931 years ago. But as well as these annual rituals there are other commemorative practices that are mandated year round. Some of these have fallen into disuse. For example, the Shulchan Aruch states that we should not play or hear musical instruments until the Temple is rebuilt.
Rabbenu Gershom's most famous ruling was his outlawing of polygamy.
It is circa 1000 CE, and sending letters to people in other cities and even countries has never been simpler. However, along with these amazing advances, comes a new potential problem, invasion of privacy. How can you trust the messengers not to read your mail?
Rabbeinu Gershom Meor Hagolah (the "Light of the Diaspora", 960 - 1040) knew that as the greatest Ashkenazi leader of his day, he h
Before we eat even the smallest bit of food, Jewish law requires us to say a blessing thanking God. Mishnah Berachot lists the various berachot: "How do we bless on fruit?
When setting out on a journey, one says the tefillat haderech, asking God to "guide our footsteps toward peace". The halachic obligation to say this prayer kicks in once one is about a kilometre out of the city and beyond any homes.
Journeys have figured big in Jewish history. For Jacob, the road was particularly perilous.
Batmitzvah is the coming of age ceremony for Jewish girls of 12. From that age they are considered morally responsible for their actions and legally obligated to fulfil mitzvot. So far, no different from boys (except for the age).
As to the content of the ceremony, that is much less clear (at least in Orthodox communities, most of which do not have women reading from the Torah).

Would-Be Jefferies Interns Deprived Of Face Time With Sage Kelly's Boss
Just think of all the pearls of wisdom these kids could've received! Charlie Gasparino reports:
Tim Geithner Very Sadly Not Titling Memoir "On Timothy Geithner," By Timothy Geithner
He's also ruled out War And Pissed Off, No, Go Fuck YOURself, John Mack, Once I Think I'm Out…Tim Geithner's Treasury Department, My Own Personal Guantanamo Bay, and Fucking Lettuce, much to our dismay.
Chicago-Area Investment Manager Is Incorrigible Maggot, Says His Grandfather
Allan Ash, pictured at left, is 95 years-old. He's lived through the Great Depression. Hitler's rise to power. Pearl Harbor. Korea. The assassination of John F. Kennedy. He's got heart problems. Water on his lungs. No use of his legs. He lost his sight several years back. But you wanna know the biggest disappointment of his life? The fact that his grandson turned out to be a two-faced rotten bum who should count his lucky stars grandpa is only going after his ass in court and not on the streets.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Allan Ash, 95, said he had just one condition when he gave the money to Geoffrey Richards earlier this year — that if he recovered from heart problems and needed any of the money back, his grandson would give it to him. Ash did get better and asked for $200,000 back in early April — but Richards refused to pay him a dime, court papers say. Now the grandfather who says he treated Richards like a son is suing to get back every penny. "He is a scoundrel. He loves money," the fuming retired CPA said at his East Side home yesterday. "He is the greatest disappointment in my life."
[Ash paid] for a fancy boarding school for Richards, as well as college and law school, court papers read. He also paid for Richards to take vacations in places like Israel, Amsterdam, Greece, Italy and Sweden, the suit continues. After Richards' graduation, Ash "continued to try and make life easier" for his grandson, giving him $600,000 over the past 14 years, according to the lawsuit. The money helped make Richards a success — he's a managing director at a global investment firm in Chicago, making over $1 million a year, court papers say. He's also the grandson Ash had wanted to handle his affairs when he died, so when heart problems and water on the lungs had him thinking the end was near this past spring, he loaned Richards the $950,000 — some of which he hoped would be used to arrange his own funeral services…When Ash got better, he asked for $200,000 of the money back, and Richards — who lives in a multimillion-dollar home by himself — refused, the suit says. "Lightning struck my heart," Ash recalled. "I was enraged, betrayed." He said he now plans to have another grandson who lives in New York handle his affairs, and wants the money back for that grandchild and another relative.

In what is likely my best 15|0 result ever, I managed to swindle a draw off a CM. This was admittedly after several bad decisions including an exchange sac with likely no grounds whatsoever. Still, a draw is a draw, and I'm unashamed by it. :D
I like that, well spotted.

Softfocus BTree/ISAM v3.1
Manufacturer: Softfocus
E-mail: email@example.com
URL: http://www.greymatter.co.uk/gmWEB/Items/BND00133.HTM
Price: single-user $115 US, multi-user $175 US
Reviewer: Edmund P. Morgan
Developers, have you ever needed a way to store data without the overhead of a RDBMS (relational database management system)? You are now in luck, because Softfocus offers a low-cost solution (with source code) for your data management needs.
The documentation is supplied in the form of a 171-page manual, which is brief yet packed with a wealth of knowledge and information. It provides a table of contents, index and appendix. The manual starts with a explanation of the BTree and ISAM (indexed sequential access method) concepts. The next section links the concepts with instructions on implementing applications under this product. Most of the manual is reserved for explaining the API (application programming interface).
The manual provides you with the following information:
Function parameter list
Function return code
Message text of the return code
What the error implies
Multi-user (multi-tasking OS) information about this function
Location of the file pointer after a function call
Other information and descriptions of the function
Any changes from the last version
The manual also provides plenty of examples to guide you through the process of building your application.
Installing this product is a snap—you just copy the files to your hard disk. All of the source code, the Makefile, the configuration file and other files are available to make compilation easy. The product supports a variety of C compilers and environments, and assumes you are familiar with C. I have used this product in various environments (i.e., DOS, Linux, Windows 95, Windows NT, HP-UX, DEC UNIX, SGI Irix, Solaris and Dynix/PTX).
The software distribution is comprised of over 120 files, including over 15,000 lines of source code. This product can support the following:
Database file size limited by disk space
Record size up to 65KB
Virtually unlimited database files open at the same time (depending on OS)
Keys (string, integer, binary, long integer, floating point, user defined)
One index or multiple indices
Duplicate or non duplicate key values
Ascending and descending index
The software via the API allows easy database application development, and only one include file gives you access to the APIs. The APIs are divided into three sections. The first is the high level ISAM APIs. The database layout is based on C structures that you provide when building your application. These APIs give you the ability to write programs without knowing the low level details of database management. These APIs begin with the prefix "bt3" for the function names. This scheme gives you quick access to information only associated with these high level APIs. These APIs are appropriately named so as not to divert your attention from your application. The API function names include names such as create, open, add, close and delete. These functions perform the following tasks:
create: create a database.
open: open a database.
add: add a new record to a database.
delete: remove a record from a database.
close: close a database.
Many other ISAM APIs can help you search through the database, allocate memory, lock and unlock a database or record, flush a record to the database, etc. This product includes the variable length and low level BTree APIs. The variable length API manages data with varying lengths. The low level BTree API handles all of the database management details. When you use the ISAM APIs, they call the BTree APIs. Since I have used only the ISAM APIs directly, I cannot comment much on the use of the other APIs. Each API gives you access to the following information:
Function return code
Message text of the return code
If the examples in the manual are not enough, the distribution comes with plenty of demos and test programs to investigate. The distribution also includes a utility to fix most problems associated with database indexing and corruption. Typically, I call this utility once before manipulating an existing database.

The Dam Busters
Pan Macmillan, Aug 1, 2009 - World War, 1939-1945 - 289 pages
On 17th May 1943 nearly 350 million tonnes of water crashed into the valleys of the Ruhr, when the Lancasters of 617 Squadron breached the giant Moehne and Eder Dams with colossal 'blockbuster' bombs.
The Dam Busters is the story of that raid and the squadron who carried it through. It tells how they took out the V3 rocket weapon and destroyed the Tirpitz in a Norwegian fjord. Again and again, the crews of 617 Squadron Bomber Command used their flying skills, their tremendous courage and Barnes Wallis' highly accurate bombs to deal devastating blows to Nazi Germany. This story is one of the classics of the Second World War, a massive bestseller that became a film.

Excellent book! The first chapters up to the dam raids are outstanding, the rest of them maybe a bit less exciting, with less suspense, but also extremely interesting as they show that Squadron 617 ... Read full review

Ramius Capital Group announced it had reached a settlement in its proxy fight with the company. Ramius had said it didn't seek control, but would put forward three alternate nominees to "send a strong message…that operational and strategic changes are required now."

What's Happening: Dialectic Capital has nominated two directors in an attempt to reconstitute the board and focus it on reviewing all strategic alternatives, including a sale of the company.
Key Numbers:
7.0%: percentage of shares owned by Dialectic.
36.5%, 50.1%, 43.8%, 53.0%: percentage of shares withheld from the re-election of company's last four nominees, including its chairman (50.1%) and chief executive (43.8%).
45.3%: Dialectic's return on its 13D investment in California Micro Devices (compared with 16.99% for the S&P 500 during the same period).
Behind the Scenes: This is Dialectic's second activist 13D filing in the past week. Prior to those two, it had only one confrontational 13D filing—in 2008, on California Micro Devices. In the CMD filing, it got its three nominees elected to the board, with the company being sold at a substantial premium shortly thereafter. Similarly, Dialectic is now urging AATI to review strategic alternatives, including a sale, and it is nominating a competing slate of directors to accomplish its objectives.
This should prove to be a relatively easy fight for Dialectic, based on the strong message shareholders have sent in the form of the substantial number of withheld votes in the last two director elections. While large institutional stockholders are often reluctant to support a dissident who is advocating for a potential sale of the company, it appears that AATI stockholders have lost confidence in management, and should welcome the addition of Dialectic's nominees to the board.

Celebrating Diversity #1Welcome to this new series of Art Features! Even tho most of you are aware of the many many galleries and categories here on dA, I think most of us move in a sort of "comfort zone" between Galleries, Channels or Groups that provide us with a constant flow of new art. And sometimes we forget all the other great artforms, styles and media that are out of our "comfort zone". And today I want to step out of that warm and cuddly place and feature some awesome works from places on dA I don't usually visit!
Since this is the first entry, I thought I should explain it a bit more, so that is why there is more text in this article The topic of celebrating diversity is something that I really want to cherish. I am guilty of not fully

It's soul purpose is to highlight Endangered Languages through Photography. 3170 lens are capturing the people who hold the key to the worlds most secret languages.

This issue features digital overlays, which are created by layering two or more images (including but not limited to texture and colour layers) to create a final image, mimicking the effect of exposing photographic paper to two or more negatives and/or filters during printing. This differs from photomanipulations, where elements of numerous images are separately extracted and combined to make a final image.

A Celebration of AgeGetting old is seen by so many as something to avoid, complain about, joke about and perhaps even ignore until it won't go away any longer. Age for many when they pass a certain milestone of years, becomes a curse or something to be ashamed of. Hair colours are constantly covered over in favour of looking young and ageless as much as possible.
Skin is constantly plastered with all manner of creams and lotions to try and prevent the rivers of life carving a niche into the flesh. Bodies are worked until they can work no longer to try and force them into retaining their youthful shape and feel but in reality we don't stop and recognise, not even for a moment - that age is beautiful.
We forget, and barely acknowledge for most of the time, that age is associated with increased diversity. You will find a more diverse people in a room of seventy year old people, than you will in a room of seventeen year old people. The wisdom, experience and attitude of

What Are YOU Going To Do at WhiskyFest New York?September 18th, 2014
Remember: WhiskyFest New York is back to the one-day format. That means fewer tickets available, but it also means that everyone can go to the seminars, without any additional cost. Given that, it's not too early to start thinking about which seminars you'll want to take in this year. We'll be telling you about them over the next few weeks, just a bit of additional information.
Highland Park's Steph Ridgway teams up with Goose Island's Russell Woelfel for perfectly paired nips and sips of whisky and beer in a presentation they call A Tale of Two Islands…Orkney and Goose. Very popular presentation at Chicago last Spring.
Brian Nation, the master distiller at Midleton, will take you to the heart of theirportfolio and discover what makes these whiskeys unique: single pot still Irish whiskey, the power of raw barley, resurgent on the world whiskey stage. Even with the huge excitement over the rebirth of Irish whiskey, the return of this type from near death is phenomenal.
Mortlach has stepped up their single malt game, and you can learn all about it from Georgie Bell, the distillery's luxury global malts ambassador. You'll taste all three new expressions (which are not available in the grand tasting room).
Less than three weeks until San Francisco!September 16th, 2014
Are you ready, San Francisco? This, our 8th annual event in San Francisco, is turning out to be our very best event yet.
The line up of outstanding speakers and the entertaining, yet educational, seminars they will be presenting is worth the price of admission. Add in the more than 350 whiskies, and WhiskyFest San Francisco becomes the place every whiskey lover wants to be.
What kind of seminars, you ask? How about a blind tasting of single malts, or a look into Single Pot Still Irish whiskey, or how wood influences flavor. Not enough? We can include a discussion about wheat whiskey, or a comparison of spirits from Orkney and Oaxica. We have Scotch malts that go beyond the standards, and a portfolio that will take you around the world. Or there's the blind tasting of unusual and rare single malts, and a dynamic duo… we'll let you figure out who. You'll learn about harmony and whiskey styles and Brooklyn! See for yourself, and visit our seminar page for more details about the twelve (yes, twelve!) seminars and the whisky experts who will present them.
While deciding which seminars you want to attend, you may as well browse through the event program, too. The complete program, the same one you'll receive when you register at WhiskyFest, is available now online, so take a look! We know you want to.
Can We Tease You, New York?September 11th, 2014
If you're still on the fence about WhiskyFest New York…let us push you over. If you're thinking about whether it's worth getting your geek on, whether there's going to be anything interesting, well, the heart of it is what whiskies will be there, right? You know about the great food, the seminars, the whisky celebrities, the trinkets and goodies: but it's not FoodFest, or IndustryFest, or KeychainAndGlassFest, it's WhiskyFest.
So we're just going to smack you between the eyes with some of the more interesting, new, and notable pours you'll see next month at the Marriott Marquis on Broadway. These are the whiskies you may want to try before you buy, maybe ones you just want to see what all the fuss is about. And before you even think it…none of these are VIP pours. That wouldn't be fair, because we've already sold out of VIP tickets. These are all whiskies you can try all night long, just like everyone else.
You ready? Check it out.

367 Reasons to Get Excited about WhiskyFest San FranciscoAugust 5th, 2014
Yes, you DID read that correctly: there are 367 reasons to get excited about WhiskyFest San Francisco! It's coming in just two months, and it's not too early to start planning.
What are those reasons? Glad you asked!
Reason #1: you've got a ticket to the best whisky event on the west coast! Solidly backed by Whisky Advocate and our parent company, M. Shanken Communications (who do a few other events you may have heard of), you can be sure that everything will run smoothly, on time, as promised. We've done this so many times — and in two other cities — that this is second nature to us now, and we focus on making it even better every year.
Reason #2: whisky is the hottest spirit on the market right now, and you know there are going to be new whiskies at this event. WhiskyFest is the showcase for the industry, where the whisky makers strut their stuff…for you.
Reasons #3-12: the ten craft distillers who are going to be at the event, some of the best and most respected of the country's small distillers, who have produced some of our best-rated craft whiskeys.
- Charbay Distillery
- Sonoma County Distilling
- Few Spirits
- Westland
- Dry Fly
- High West
- Long Island Spirits
- Koval
- Old Potrero
- Craft Distillers
Reasons #13-15: the three barrel-aged cocktails we know are going to be there, all excellent…and there may be more added before the event.
Reasons #16-367: The 351 whiskies/whiskeys we'll be pouring that night! You'll see them all in your program that night (keep in mind that a small number of these whiskies will only be poured during the VIP hour), or you can look at what we have confirmed for now here, but you can see a few of the top selections below, just to whet your thirst.

Dads Love Whisky!June 3rd, 2014
Here's a friendly reminder for you: Father's Day is coming up quickly, on June 15th.
You know what Dad likes? Whisky! But do you get him his favorite? Or something new? Or something rare? Or something completely different? Decisions are so difficult!
Why not get him over 350 bottles of it by getting him a ticket to WhiskyFest New York or San Francisco! You can still save $25 on his ticket (and yours, too; you're going along, right?) if you buy now; early-bird pricing is good through the end of June. (That's true even if you're just buying tickets for yourself, of course…)
Imagine the scene. You, Dad, The Envelope: "Wow, WhiskyFest tickets? Thanks, kiddo!"
Who's the best kid, who's Dad's favorite? YOU ARE! Thanks to WhiskyFest!
WhiskyFest Chicago Date Announced: Friday, April 10, 2015!May 16th, 2014

WhiskyFest Chicago: 16th annual is the best yet!May 7th, 2014
WhiskyFest™ does it again! Our 16th annual WhiskyFest Chicago sold out in only seven hours, and ticket buyers clearly knew what they were doing; this was a great event! Close to 2,000 whisky lovers got to mingle with the top people in the whisky industry — master distillers, distillery managers, global brand ambassadors — and sample whiskies (and whiskeys!) to their heart's content.
It was a grand tasting indeed, starting with the VIP hour and some very special pours from some distillers, and progressing into the wide open general tasting event. Attendees had their choice of 315 whiskies, as well as excellent examples of beer, gin, rum, vodka, cognac, and tequila from a roomful of 86 exhibitors.
There were whiskies from all over. The usual types were well-represented, of course: single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, Irish whiskeys, bourbon, rye and Tennessee whiskeys, Canadian whiskies. But this is WhiskyFest: we also delivered Japanese whiskies, an array of American craft whiskeys, and the great new whiskies from Taiwan.
Smart WhiskyFesters took the opportunity to get some in-depth whisky education at a variety of seminars presented through the night. There were talks about bonded whiskeys, whisky and oyster pairings, whisky and beer pairings, whisky blending, and tastings from various points during the whiskey-making process, all presented by experts from various distilleries.
What else? Why, the fantastic buffet presented by the Hyatt Regency, with hand-carved beef, salmon, an array of Asian and Mediterranean dishes, plentiful vegetarian options, and the always-popular desserts at the end of the night. There were also WhiskyFest totebags, our newest WhiskyFest merchandise (including playing cards, water bottles, and a great hooded sweatshirt), and mini-flasks, glasses, and other cool stuff handed out by some exhibitors.
It was a great night, and if you're still thinking about whether you should get your ticket for our San Francisco or New York events…just ask Chicago!
For more WhiskyFest Chicago 2014 photos, click here!
WhiskyFest Goodies Unveiled at ChicagoApril 10th, 2014
Check out the new WhiskyFest merchandise we're bringing to Chicago! There's an aluminum water bottle (suitable for branch water, or the essence of your favorite Highland tarn), a mouse pad, our own WhiskyFest flask for filling with whisky, our sharp new WhiskyFest playing cards…and the new WhiskyFest hoodie, which notes how we make New York, San Francisco, and Chicago the WORLD WHISKY CAPITAL …for a day.
Get some WhiskyFest fun to take home, to remember, and to taunt your friends who didn't go. We'll have it all at the Whisky Advocate table — along with the usual books, glasses, shirts, caps, towels, and such, all at special event pricing — at WhiskyFest Chicago in just a couple weeks!
WhiskyFest Chicago: more homework for youApril 3rd, 2014
If you're counting the days till WhiskyFest Chicago (April 25th is coming up soon!), here's something you can do to pass the time more profitably. We have the program available online right here, in PDF format so that you can easily download it, read it, look at it on your smartphone while you're waiting for a train (we know you will…), or print it out in oversized format and draw all over it with different-colored markers as you plan how to make the most of your evening.
Your plans will, of course, collapse right about the time you and your friends run into that first really amazing whisky or truly engaging personality behind the table (like one of the people listed below, who will be at Chicago's event), but hey, planning's fun too. Just remember: when the plan collapses, it's not a problem. You're at WhiskyFest, the World Whisky Capital (for a day); how bad can it be?

Drowning Doesn't Always Look Like Drowning: Signs To Look For
It happens every year. As soon as the weather gets a little warmer, there's always a story on the news reporting an accidental drowning of a child. I think when us parents see that, we rush the unimaginable of that happening to us out of our minds as quickly as we can. I think we stupidly also think, "Well, I'd know if my child was drowning". That's not true at all.
The signs of drowning aren't always what you see in the movies. Drowning can be a very quiet, splash-free accident.

Sensient Technologies Corporation
) recently reported earnings of 66 cents per share in third
quarter 2012, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate and 3.1%
higher than the year-ago level of 64 cents per share. Reported
earnings include unfavorable currency impact of 3 cents.
Excluding impact of foreign currency, earnings-per-share were 5
cents, up 7.8% in the quarter.
Moreover, revenue at Corporate & Other, which includes the
company's operations in Asia-Pacific and China as well as the
company's flavor businesses in Central and South America, grew
8.4% to $40.8 million, benefiting from solid performances in
Thailand, Singapore and Philippines.
Operating income of the Color Group segment leaped 2.5% to $23.5
million, with operating margin expanding 50 basis points to
19.4%, helped by an improved product mix. However, Flavors &
Fragrances Group operating income contracted 4.0% to $31.8
million, due to customer inventory de-stocking and increased
input costs.
Selling and administrative expenses scaled up 3.4% to $67.0
million and cost of products sold spiked 1.1% to $251.8 million.
Though, operating income of the company advanced 1.5% year over
year to $50.7 million and in local currency increased 8%.
The company also plans to make significant investments in
Johannesburg, South Africa, to build a new color and flavor
complex. Management believes that the new facility will enhance
growth and bolster its position in the African market.
Financial Position
The company ended the quarter with cash flow from operations of
$43.1 million, up from $39.7 million in the prior-year period,
thanks to the higher cash earnings. As of September 30, 2012,
long-term debt stood at $328.8 million, up from $301.1 million as
of September 30, 2011. The debt to capital ratio improved to
23.7% at September 30, 2012, from 23.8% at September 30, 2011.
Despite the challenging economic conditions, Sensient continues
to invest in the business to upgrade its facilities and develop
new technologies. The company currently has several capital
projects in progress to expand capabilities and improve
efficiencies. Capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2012
were $20 million, flat year over year.
For 2012, the company narrowed its earnings per share outlook to
$2.51 to $2.56 from its previous estimate of $2.50 to $2.59 per
Our Take
As the company reduced its outlook for 2012, we expect analysts
to trim estimates for 2012. The Zacks Consensus Estimates for the
upcoming quarter and fiscal 2012 are 61 cents and $2.54 per
share, respectively, reflecting a year-over-year growth of 7.60%
and 4.75%. However, we remain optimistic on the stock given its
strategic investments in infrastructure and expansion in the
African market .
Sensient, which competes with
McCormick & Company, Inc.

Operations Analyst InterviewApplication Details
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Goldman Sachs.Interview Details
I was asked if I would consider the operations position in place of the position I applied for by the recruiter. I said I would and was sent to SLC that following Friday for superday. There I had 2hours worth of interviewing with 8 interviewers, 2 interviews in each session. I thought the interviews on superday went great and was hopeful to hear an offer in the coming days. However, the following Monday I received an email stating that I was not selected for the position. I am very surprised and was really looking forward to the position and culture at the SLC office. I have asked for feedback, but doubt I will receive an email back. The interview questions were all behavioral and ethical based.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Goldman Sachs.Interview Details
Submitted resume online and was contacted a few weeks later to Superday at the Jersey City offices. Three interviews back to back in 30 minute intervals. The first two were 2 on 1. However the last interview was with one person, a VP. Very standard questions, with nothing being much of a surprise. Most of the interviewers asked the same questions so it did become a repetition game after a while but the process wasn't too bad. However the questions that I thought they were going to ask, did not get asked. With one or two questions about my resume, or Why GS? and Why Operations? Most questions were about my resume, with them going in very great detail.Interview Questions

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Goldman Sachs in January 2015.Interview Details
For me this was a three tier interview process. I met with the recruiters at a career fair and actually originally spoke to a representative of the Finance Division; however, the Operations Division representative overheard the conversation and told me I would be better suited for his division. He asked me to describe my work experience, and strangely enough he was right it aligned more with Operations than Finance. I gave him my resume' in hopes that he would give me some good news, he kind of shrugged and just told me to apply online if I was interested, and I assumed the opportunity was done.
About two weeks later I got a call from their SLC office, and he scheduled an interview for me to speak with someone in ops over the phone from their NYC offices. I applied for the internship online officially after the interview setup over the phone. Many people from my school received the phone interview. There was a miscommunication on the date of when I was supposed to speak with the interviewer, and I was shocked to get a call on Black Friday while I was shopping and not prepared but I still took the phone interview. It was 15 minutes, and the interviewer asked basic questions basically going over my resume and if I knew what operations did at Goldman. She was very pleasant to talk to and it ended being less an interview and her giving me advice and talking about her experience at Goldman.
About a week later I received an email congratulating me and inviting me to Super Day. Of the 10 people that made it to the phone interview from my school, I was the only that made it to Super Day (maybe because I also applied online helped because I also received the Congrats on the career login as well). Super Day was a round robin of two 30-minute interviews. I had a one-on-one interview where I was asked the why Goldman questions (why Goldman, what part of the division would you work, and how my experience would help at Goldman). The second interview was a two-on-one interview where the questions were all behavioral and situational (describe when you made a mistake, how do you address big problems, what does this word mean on your resume in simple terms, etc.) For me the experience was rather easy because I have quite a bit of work experience that I was easily able to apply to each question naturally. This interview went fairly well too. All three interviewers opened up to me and also basically provided me advice and insight into their experiences. Had the interview on Friday and got notified Wednesday.Interview Questions

I first heard about the position through a GS recruiter at my university. After talking with him, he connected me with a professional in the Operations Division. I had a few conversations with this professional and she encouraged me to apply for the position. I did and about a week later I was contacted by HR about coming in for an interview. In about two weeks I had my interview. I had never been to a "super day" and did not know exactly what to expect. I had four thirty minute interviews (one was 1 on 1 the other three were 2 on 1).
The interviews were pretty straight forward and there were no curve ball questions. They mostly asked Why GS? Why Operations? and team experiences. As long as you prepare of those questions and the other questions posted on this site, you will ACE the interview.
A week after my "super day" I was contacted about a follow up phone interview. The phone interview was thirty minutes and 1 on 1. My interviewer basically asked the same questions as the previous interviewers so it was not difficult.
A week after my phone interview I received my offer.Interview Questions

Operations Analyst InterviewApplication Details
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Goldman Sachs in December 2014.Interview Details
I was flown over to their SLT office for the interview. There were 4 interviews in various booths, each lasting 30 minutes. The interviewers were very friendly and easy to talk to. Most of the questions were personality based. I got a couple of technical questions but that's because I mentioned some of my finance experience. I thought the interviews went very well but it takes them a long time to decide (over two weeks). I later pulled out of the application process, before I could find out if I got the job or not, as I accepted another job.Interview Questions
