1. ECCA will be a Model Professional Volunteer Organization (PVO) dedicated towards natural resources management
2. ECCA will organize programs so as to secure children's sound ecological future
3. ECCA will support the development of conservation related entrepreneurship
ECCA has been implementing various programs and projects in different areas of Nepal, which are as follows;
Conservation Education and Community Development
The objective of this project is to enhance environment awareness of individuals and to generate a sense of awareness amongst children at an age when they are receptive to ideas and inculcate in them a love and appreciation of nature. It also aims to undertake community development activities so as to raise the quality of life through wise-use of available local resources
To achieve the objective, ECCA had initiated
Formation of students environment club in the schools
Various small-scale school based and community based activities (such as installation of chlorinator device and paper recycling prototype, distribution of composting bin, construction of drinking water distribution system, installation of improved cooking stove, construction of toilets, etc.)
Trainings for the youths, students and other community members on the local environment issues and their role for the betterment.
Trained school children training other school children on environment issues
Promotion of Alternate Energy
The aim of this program is to make positive impact on the standard of living through the integrated approach of community mobilization and technological intervention.
In this program we have been able to get following achievements;
Installation of solar photovoltaic water pumping system to replace the diesel-engine water pumping system (which were not in operation because the villagers were unable to afford high operation and maintenance cost) at three locations in eastern Nepal
Improved Cooking Stove Program in different parts of the country
Promotion of Solar lamp to replace kerosene wicked lamp
Improving School Environment in Nepal
Environmental Camps for Conservation Awareness (ECCA) has initiated School Environment Improvement Program to improve the basic environment of schools - the lack of proper school environment is one of the main causes of school dropouts (especially of girl students). It is envisaged that enrollment of the students will also increase when facilities (like water, toilet, greenery) are improved in the school. Classroom management and relationship among children, teachers and community also plays an important role in improving the school environment.
In the schools where this program has been launched, students are doing good job - like monitoring school compound, toilets, fast food shops, managing open spaces and preserving plants. The program has also helped the teachers on teaching technique and practising different ways to make aware children on environment issues and to change their behaviour. All the activities are done practically and in related spots - e.g. health and sanitation is taught in and around the toilet, nutrition in fast food shops where they check the food and water and one school one-heritage program is carried out in nearby natural or cultural heritage sites. Similarly, greenery is taught by planting the saplings and composting from waste materials.
This type of program can develop the positive attitude and vision on children and community to improve the environment of the village as a whole. The children are the leaders of tomorrow. Whatever they learn today, they expose tomorrow. So, we should be particular in transplanting positive attitude amongst them.
Enhancing the Livelihood of the Minority Mushar Community in Sanaitha VDC, Siraha
Mushars are a so-called low-caste community, who have been given the name "Mushar" because of the fact that they used to maintain their living by catching and eating the rats (local name "Musha") found in the open field. After the construction of the road connecting East-West highway to Siraha Headquarter, the Mushars were resettled in around 70,000 square feet of land in Sanaitha Village with the help of Mr. Krishna Charan Shrestha (Social Worker) and German Nepalese Help Association (GNHA). During re-settlement, some land was given and small huts were made for them.
In the village school the participation of Mushar children is very low or almost nil in view of the fact that they are not treated well by other so-called upper caste people. Because of which, they also have inferiority complex. After the resettlement, one Mushar teacher had been assigned to teach the Mushar children basic lessons informally (i.e. not through formal schooling procedure) - which is being done under the open sky (i.e. no shelter is available). ECCA has initiated a package program so as to Create Better Social Environment, enhance the livelihood and develop infrastructure.
As part of the overall program, teachers were appointed and trained, a school building has been constructed and other software activities are being implemented. The permission for the primary level school (till class 5) has also been obtained from District Education Office, GON in February 2006.
Biodiversity Conservation Initiatives through Grassroots Participation
Most parts of the country has well-established Community Forest with clearly identified mandate for sustainable management. But the management of Community Forest has loosely incorporated Biodiversity Conservation initiatives in its Guideline and Community Forest User Group's (CFUG) Operation Plan (OP). Therefore, ECCA has, now, adopted a vision to extend its scope in implementing the conservation awareness level into real practice through eco-friendly mobilization of Natural Resources which will not only incorporate biodiversity conservation initiatives into their implementing
The project targets to build capacity of concerned government and partner agencies: CFUG and other grassroots level local NGO/CBO to manage sustainable natural resources that will initiate effective conservation of biodiversity through conservation based management on priority species of the corridor. Building close coordination between communities, local bodies, government line agencies and concerned stakeholders of cross boundary area will further strengthen the conservation of key species in the Kanchenjunga-Singalila corridor by enhancing their capability on protection, monitoring and mitigating threats to conservation.
Human Value-based Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Education
In collaboration with UN-HABITAT Water for Asian Cities Programme, "Human Value-based Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Education (HVWSHE)" has been launched from December 2007.
The project aims at promoting HVWSHE through the following components:
(a) Policy support through revision of existing curriculum, and incorporation of HVWSHE in teachers' training manuals;
(b) Piloting of HVWSHE in selected schools;
(c) Establishing water class rooms at selected educational institutes;
(d) Capacity building of government officials, principals and teachers;
(e) Developing sample lesson plans for primary, secondary and higher secondary classes;
(f) Preparing education materials and other IEC materials;
(g) Providing functional WATSAN facilities and services; and
(h) Disseminating information through workshop and IEC materials.
The Water for Asian Cities (WAC) Programme is a collaborative initiative between the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Governments of Asia. WAC Programme is supporting the implementation of the water and sanitation related Millennium Development Goals and targets (MDGs) in Asian cities, specifically promoting pro-poor governance, water demand management, increased attention to environmental sanitation; and income generation for the poor linked to water supply and sanitation. The programme seeks to achieve this by mobilizing political will, raising awareness through advocacy, information and education; training and capacity building; by promoting new investments in the urban water and sanitation sector; and by systematic monitoring of progress towards MDGs.
Simple Alternative Water Disinfection Program
Most of the rural areas suffer from lack of treated water, ultimately suffering from various waterborne diseases. Among various water disinfectants, Chlorine solution (or sodium hypochlorite) is the most effective chemical compound which destroys and inactivates micro-organisms and pathogens in water.
This project is based on knowledge transformation so once it is adopted; people can easily operate the new technology. The schools and communities will get better option for the purification of drinking water - which is socially and economically viable.
This project is focused towards producing chlorine solution locally from concentrated common salt solution. The produced chlorine will then be used by drinking water users' committee and by the students/teachers (in their school) and their families to treat water for drinking purpose.
Once treated water is used, health condition will improve; thereby enhancing the livelihood of the general populace.
Kathmandu Participatory River Monitoring Project (KAPRIMO)
The Bagmati and Bishnumati rivers are the major, yet most, polluted rivers of the Kathmandu Valley. Both rivers have high cultural and social value, but rapid urbanization followed by river quality degradation has led to its becoming of little value. The decline of river quality has direct detrimental impacts on the health, economy and culture of water user groups in the city and downstream.
KAPRIMO is a participatory approach in the field of river conservation. It aims to develop, implement and demonstrate a functional and non-conventional river monitoring system, which will stand alone as the backbone and pioneering step towards the restoration process of the rivers of the Kathmandu Valley. It is expected that KAPRIMO will serve as a catalyst for basin-wide and nation-wide river monitoring and conservation planning.

Obituary: Kitty Mrosovsky
Friday 24 March 1995
Partly because of her premature death, there is relatively little of her work in the public sphere - two books, some poetry and various reviews. However she has also left behind a bulk of unpublished manuscripts - including a second novel as well as more poetry, short stories and critical essays - which, one hopes, will allow a wider audience to appreciate her gifts.
Born in Oxford from a family of Russian European extraction, Mrosovsky spent most of her childhood in the Mediterranean and was educated mainly in French. In her teens she came back to England and went on to read English at Somerville College, Oxford. She took a First Class honours degree and a BPhil in comparative literature, and looked set to embark on a distinguished academic career. But after only a year she abandoned her post as a lecturer at York University and decided to devote herself to writing.
This was a brave choice, to which she adhered, but it didn't make things easy. From then on she never again took up full-time employment. She taught English part-time at the Open University and translated and produced a highly acclaimed edition of Flaubert's The Temptation of Saint Antony, published in 1980 and later reissued as a Penguin Classic. She did book reviewing and worked as a theatre critic for Quarto - but these were hardly lucrative assignments and she was not cut out for the hustling and the quick-turn-around bodge job necessary to make freelance journalism profitable.
Mrosovsky's personal life, where she proved an enormously warm and generous friend, was marked by the same intellectual honesty and moral scrupulousness - not prudishness, but rather a reluctance to cut the deals and compromises that most of us, with a more approximate personal morality, make with the world.
In 1985 Mrosovsky's novel Hydra was published. It is a difficult, ambitious, painful book which uses as its starting-point a tutorial session on Euripides' play Herakles between a diffident lecturer and his student who is paralysed from the neck down. This is not a subject likely to have enormous commercial appeal. But her few reviews were complimentary and marked her out as an unusual talent.
After Hydra Mrosovsky travelled to Italy, where she wrote a second novel. But she was unable to find a publisher. This proved a severe blow and, although she had little worldly ambition, she found the lack of literary recognition harder to bear.
When she returned in the late Eighties, Mrosovsky discovered that she was HIV positive - having contracted the virus before it was even identified or its symptoms described. Although she continued to write, and completed an introduction to a book of etchings by Tim Rollins, the knowledge of her illness was a turning-point and she began to devote her energies to investigating developments in Aids research and becoming involved in environmental issues and the question of animal welfare.
By the late Eighties Mrosovsky's illness began to take its toll. She seems to have struggled with the infection and its debilitating side-effects on her own, telling very few people. Many of her friends, not suspecting that a woman in her forties who was not a drug-taker could possibly be HIV positive, failed to realise that she was dying.
Mrosovsky did not keep her illness private out of any false sense of shame - among her papers is a careful essay in which she points out, ``Aids is not a special and unmentionable disease limited to sub-categories of society''; instead, it seems that she wanted to preserve her privacy and independence and didn't wish to weigh down her friends with a sense of obligation, nor to become an object of their pity. She continued instead with the activities that had enriched her life until then: going to concerts and galleries, reading, and playing wonderful Mozart sonatas on the grand piano which took up most of her living room.
It was typical of Kitty Mrosovsky, meticulous to the last, that she even left instructions about the welfare of the black and white neighbourhood cat that she had adopted. She was a fervent cat lover. Like T.S. Eliot, she couldn't take a walk in the park without zigzagging from one cat to the next.

A Romanian court has rejected the appeal of a British citizen convicted on manslaughter charges for causing a 2006 car accident that killed award-winning Romanian film director Cristian Nemescu.
The Bucharest appeals court on Monday rejected the appeal by Ali Imran, confirming the 6-year-long prison sentence against him.
Nemescu, 27, a sound engineer and a taxi driver died after a car driven by Imran plowed into their vehicle in Aug. 2006.
Reports said Imran was traveling at least 140 kilometers (88 miles) per hour, more than double the speed limit, and that he ran a red light. Imran was reportedly unhurt.
Nemescu's unfinished film "California Dreamin'" won an award at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.

How not to act if the apple falls far from the tree
Dec 22, 2011, 6 a.m.
When we hear "the apple never falls far from the tree" most of the time someone is pointing out a flaw apparently inherited from a parent. And although parents don't want their children to repeat their mistakes, in many ways parents do want their children to grow up to be and think the way they do. But that doesn't always happen, and that can make maintaining a healthy relationship with an adult child challenging.
Parents and adult children are alike in many ways, but different in others. A mother and daughter may both love books and enjoy discussions on everything from Dr. Suess to Dante. But the daughter may subscribe to a different faith or political affiliation. Knowing what not to do when your adult child doesn't think like you may be one of the biggest tests you experience. Get it wrong, and it means fewer phone calls, visits, and restricted access to grandchildren. Get it right, and you enjoy a respectful relationship with your adult child.
While parents should always feel free to express their opinion, it is important to remember that the true authority in your adult child's life is your adult child. Phrases such as "if I were you," "when I was your age" or "in my time" should be avoided unless your adult child specifically asks you to put yourself in her shoes.
Parents of adult children also need to tread lightly when it comes to religion and politics. This is hard because these are both areas where many people feel very strongly. When you can, keep an open mind and try to see your adult child's point of view. If that is too difficult, talk about other things.
Be careful when criticizing your adult child's major life choices. Too much criticism of life choices, such as marriage partners, education, and career choices can quickly make an adult child feel alienated, and chances are they will respond by alienating their parents.
Let adult children raise their own children their way. "Experts" have had differing recommendations on when to conquer various childhood milestones. Ultimately, every parent has to do what they feel is best. When an adult child's own parent steps in and contradicts their parenting choices they get defensive very fast. Your adult child will most likely make a few mistakes, but chances are your grandchildren will survive.

Giving The Gift Of Painting
Sherry, Clara, Burger and I took our little home-improvement-hungry hands on the road this past weekend to help out a few family members in Northern Virginia who, by coincidence, have also moved recently. There must be something in the water – or at least in our gene pool – that has us all relocating lately. First up was my little sister Carrie, who we managed to get zero pictures of so here's a random shot that she sent me after the fact (that guy on the left is her boyfriend, Robert, who will be making another appearance momentarily).
Carrie just rented a new apartment in Northern Virginia last month (you may remember us helping with her first apartment in Philadelphia and her second one in NoVa). She'd been planning the move for a little while, so back around her birthday in February she hinted that she'd like help painting as her actual gift. So Sherry and I wrapped up this little token of our commitment (a painting stir stick with a paint can opener on the end) as her official "present." It reads: Redeemable for 1 gallon of Olympic Premium Paint And Painting labor – may be exchanged for a Starbucks gift card at any time (since we figured Carrie deserved an out if she decided to forgo painting – or if her moving plans fell through).
But all systems were go, so we arrived early on Saturday morning to look at the space with her and help pick colors. She and Sherry had chatted about how she wanted a taupe-y tan with a smidge of gray for the bedroom (to match the curtains that Carrie already owned and would later hang). The verdict: Benjamin Moore's Ashen Tan, color matched to zero-VOC Olympic Premium Paint. We gave her that brand as a gift because we love how pure it is (even the colorants are VOC free) since the bean was with us (we switched off watching her in another room while others got their paint on). We landed on Ashen Tan because it would cozy things up and add some warmth to the otherwise basic white box of a room without feeling too dark or crazy (since Carrie wanted something soothing and classic). Here's a pic of the space before we arrived:
And here's Robert and me in full on painting mode on Saturday. Robert earns major points for helping me roll the room while Sherry cut in and switched off with Carrie as "babysitter." Forgive this terrible iPhone picture that Sherry grabbed in progress:
The two coats of paint that the room needed took about two hours to apply – almost less time than it took us to navigate rainy day traffic from her apartment to the nearest Lowe's (which, lucky for Carrie, was next to a Starbucks) and back. When we came back the next morning to help put the room together again (once the walls were dry) the freshly painted room was looking much, much homier thanks to the warmer walls:
Carrie would be annoyed with me if I didn't emphasize that she still has art, pictures, and curtains to hang (maybe we'll share an update pic in a while). She also plans to gradually replace some of the Ikea furniture down the line with pieces that are a bit less common (perhaps a craigslist find or two). But we still think it looks quite nice for just moving in a few weeks ago. Isn't it amazing how even something subtle on the walls can take a room from "generic rental" to "cozy home"?
Carrie also already owns a lot of great accessories that help add a happy splash of color here and there (with more to be hung, like art and curtains) so the room still feels vibrant despite the muted wall color. Because you know Sherry went nuts feathering the heck out of Carrie's nest with things like the blue throw over the chair and the pillows on the bed and these colorful accents on her side table before we snapped any after pics. The girl can't help herself.
Even Carrie's cat Duncan seemed to be digging the cozier vibe. Something he didn't dig very much? Having to be trapped in the bathroom while we painted. Thanks to his keen interest in the process (he kept trying to rub up against the paint can and tiptoe through the paint tray), it seemed like the best plan (but not to him, of course). As for Burger, he voluntarily camped out in his crate (aka, his home away from home).
Of course, my favorite picture from the day is this one – which I jokingly snapped while Sherry adjusted the side table. When she heard the shutter clicking and asked what I was shooting, I lied and said "just white balancing." I figured I'd get a laugh (or at least an eye roll) when she spotted her less-photographed end in the day's photos when we uploaded them. Never did I suspect that she'd let me put it in the post. Her response "oh why not, we'll keep it real." Best wife ever.
Carrie's still planning to paint her living room, but the size of the apartment kept us from being able to clear two rooms at once. So it's gonna have to wait a bit. But we did use this trip to help Carrie select a cheerful artichoke-y green color for those walls.
While Robert and I rolled (and rolled, and rolled) the ladies settled on Fennel Splash by Valspar (sorry, I've got no clue which one that is in the pic above). And when I say "ladies" I do include Clara in that group. Look how much interest she takes in paint swatches. That's my girl.
After all of the Saturday painting adventures at Carrie's new apartment, we headed about 15 minutes away to my cousin Travis' house. Travis and his wife Cat and their almost-2-year-old daughter Elsa also moved last month (Cat is Sherry's best friend of 11 years who we introduced to Travis, then they got married, and the rest is history). They needed a larger house because baby #2 is expected to arrive any day now (although Cat's hiding it well in this pic we snapped, she's actually due next week).
They're a stylish bunch, so we're excited to see them get more settled so we can eventually officially House Crash them. Even though they've only been in their new place about four weeks, we were already loving things like their new yellow and gray bedding (from Target) and the fun yellow rug (from Garnet Hill).
Sherry even found herself helping Cat with a small house project on Sunday morning – hanging a collection of frames in one of their spare rooms. Leave it to my wife to happily take a hammer to someone else's walls.
Since it's the last visit we'll have with those three before they become four, Sherry also used it as a chance to deliver her homemade baby book for Myrtle (the placeholder name they've been jokingly using throughout Cat's pregnancy). They haven't found out if it's a boy or a girl, so the book had to work for either one.
Sherry made it the same way that she created Clara's homemade baby book (the template is free for you guys to download here). It's basically just colorful scrapbook paper (from Michael's) slipped into a sleeved scrapbooking album (also from Michael's) with home printed labels on each page (from this template Sherry made) for listing lots of memorable moments. Like events and trends from the day he or she is born (for Clara's we put The Snuggie and Justin Bieber hair)…
… and mom and dad's predictions for baby's features, firsts, and favorites (which we witnessed Cat and Travis fill out right then & there) – among other things like developmental milestones and all that good stuff.
We didn't assemble all of Clara's book until after she was born, which meant that creating one for a bun that was still in the oven required a few placeholders – like these little footprint cutouts that Sherry made (which will be replaced with the real thing once the baby arrives).
Despite how much we enjoyed all of the painting, picture hanging, food eating, baby watching, and competitive board game playing* – this was perhaps our most favorite moment of the weekend: when Elsa snuggled Clara and Clara leaned over and nuzzled her right back. And how miraculous was it that I actually had the camera on hand? Maybe that's why I got to put Sherry's butt in this post. I earned some major daddy points for capturing this cute Clara-Elsa cuddlefest.
*We mentioned board games as one of our oh-yeah-we're-wild weekend activities with the fam (there's nothing like blowing off some room-painting steam like a rousing game full of smack talk and competition). This time our game of choice was Apples to Apples, and we accidentally invented a fun slash weird variation that we thought we'd share. In each round we blindly threw in an extra red card from the deck for the judge to consider (we started calling this non-existent extra player "The Computer"). It's surprising how many times the random card was chosen over the ones that us human players thought long & hard about (which created a fun everyone vs. The Computer rivalry and a few "I can't believe that was random" moments when The Computer played the best card). In fact, The Computer nearly won the entire game but Travis narrowly beat it in the end by just one round. Crazytown. Do we know how to let our hair down or what?
And speaking of keeping it in the family, we'll leave you with this video of Clara and Burger that we took after we got home. Just because it's our favorite thing ever. Could our kids (both of the four-legged and two-legged variety) be any cuter? I don't think so.

My friends and I play Apples to Apples. At the end of the game, all of the cards you have won are used to describe you. Usually at this point we are all tipsy and it is hysterical.
You are such a great sport Sherry! :)
I love how Carrie's room turned out. The little pops of color that you added for the final pictures really make a difference.
John, you look so tall in that photo of you and Robert! Maybe it's just that you are closer to the camera than he is (or are you really that much taller?). haha
Yeah…I thought something like that, or else your sister got an apartment with the world's lowest ceilings. Even 6′ John should not be that much taller than the top window sill if there were standard 8′ ceilings.
I thought you might be standing on something but wasn't sure! :)
I have to ask… was the bottom middle photo in the five photo hanging intentionally placed about an inch higher than the ones to each side? Just curious about the motivation for doing so.
Cool. Sounds good to me. I like it.
Um that video could not be ANY cuter! Gosh she is seriously one of the cutest babies I've ever seen.
I love the color you all chose for that bedroom. Clara is too cute with all those paint chips!
Cutest video ever!
And just so you don't look too out of the loop, it's Justin Bieber, not Beiber ;) My college student self caught that one right away.
I love love love the bright pillow on the bed. Where did she get that?!? Thanks!
Um, NO. Your kids could not be any cuter.
LOVE your variation on Apples to Apples. Great idea – I'm excited to try it. (Oh yeah – I'm wild and crazy on weekends, too. Don't even get me started on Sequence!)
Apples to Apples is one of my favorite games ever! Best game we ever played resulted in the card 'sexy' being won with the card 'woodchipper.' To this day I tell my hubby that he's sexy as a woodchipper. I even made him a pair of boxers with the word woodchipper on them. I love your variation! We'll definitely try it next time around. Of course, we sort of play that way anyway when our 3 year old wants in on the game. Have a great week!
What a fun weekend!! I love that video of Clara and Burger.
too cute! All of it! Looks like you guys had a wonderful weekend!!! Also, I totally love the room for your sister, Sherry. It looks great, and so warm and inviting!
And the yellow and grey bedding at your friends' house is totally adorable! Maybe I should put that into my yellow bedroom/guest office… I've been thinking about it… (http://designbuildlove.co/?p=174)
And of course, LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST, that picture of Clara and Elsa- John totally gets major dad points! That is a priceless picture totally worth framing!
oh my gosh that video just…MADE MY DAY!!!!
I'm barely past the first paragraph, but… perhaps it's opposite day? "…that guy on the right is her boyfriend, Robert, who will be making another appearance momentarily." On my screen, that guy on the right is a girl wearing a paisley dress. Maybe my computer is flipping images. There is a nice male torso on the far right, however, so maybe that's Robert? Obviously teasing. :)
I love these "keeping it real" posts, especially ones that involve watching Clara and Burger play together and board game variations. That's real life. :)
so jealous of how thin you are. do you do any particular diet?
You guys are painting rockstars. And you're not too bad at picking paint colors either.
That video of Clara and Burger is priceless. Totally made me laugh…and I needed that today!
As a cyclist I NEED to know where she got that desktop bike calendar!?!?!? It is sooo cute.
I'm still smiling over you and your sister being Sherry & Carrie:) Killer!
That photo of Clara with the paint chips is just too perfect. A future DIY girl! So cute!
Question: so many of the colors you and others choose look fantastic with white woodwork. Our woodwork, which we prefer to keep as is, however, is stained in fruitwood. Are there any specific color choices (preferably muted) you recommend for a small bedroom (i.e. 10 x 11) with good sunlight that would work well with and complement the existing woodwork? We don't want the outcome to appear "dark and cramped." I do like pure whites with color in accents but have been trying to challenge myself to try a wall color this time. Perhaps white is our best choice?? I am looking for suggestions. Please, no blues or lavenders. Thanks!
Although I love mine, there are two families that I would also love to be a apart of – the Kardashians and the Petersiks!
Had to smile after seeing the pics and then reading the comment on the lamp. I took one look at the owls and thought, "Chi Omega!" Love it!
Ok, so we have totally played Apples to Apples with The Bookshelf, because my husband didn't think the game was fair, or that anyone "got" the cards he played. Guess what? The Bookshelf won.
Love the picture of Clara with the paint samples, the look on her face is too cute!
John, you are correct: your babies couln't be cuter. That video was hilarious!
I love your blog, I can't wait to have a place of my own soon so I can use a lot of your amazing techniques! The one thing I'm dying to know now is where did Carrie get that white owl lamp on her desk? That is absolutely the one thing missing from my office! If you can find out and let me know I would be eternally grateful!

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Bloomberg L.P..
phone interview --> interview day (about 30 other candidates taking tour of office and doing two speed dating style interviews with other applicants in the room)--> shadowing of a Bloomberg employee who currently holds position and then meeting with two managers (one sales, one analytics)...mostly behavioral questions about what you've done and if you have previous sales experience. don't say you have interest in anything other than what you're applying for they'll hold it against you if you say you want to be at a big bank, hedge fund, etc.

I applied online – interviewed at Bloomberg L.P..Interview Details
I applied online in October for the January 2015 Product Sales & Analytics position and received an invitation to do a phone interview several weeks later. Following the phone interview, I did not receive an invitation for the second round, in person interview until late November/early December. The second round was a "career day" feature of the company which included a tour, a Bloomberg terminal overview and two sequential interviews with current employees. Several weeks later I was invited back for a third round. This consisted of a 30 minute shadow opportunity of a person currently working in the role followed by a 2 v 1 group interview.Interview Questions
No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
- Second round: Explain a difficult financial concept (to the interviewer) and pretend they had no experience with finance/economics.
If you could only choose one, would you rather do sales or analytics?

Financial Analytics and Sales InterviewApplication Details
I applied online – interviewed at Bloomberg L.P. in March 2015.Interview Details
I submitted my resume online and a recruiter reached out to me the next day with a generic email asking me to fill out the answers to 9 questions. I wrote back and they set a phone interview for 2 weeks later. The phone interview was easy and they set another interview two weeks later, and then another... now it's been yet another two weeks and I still haven't heard back from anyone. They just fell off the face of the earth after a 1.5 month process. The lack of professionalism is unbelievable and they don't value your time at all. Also, if you're an experienced hire, the interview is really not a good measure of how much you know because they ask you college level economics definitions. If you're a normal person then all that rubbish fell out the side of your head as soon as you graduated (which for me was 8 years ago.) They don't ask you any finance questions at all. They will ask you why bloomberg about 10 times with every interviewer. And they will harp on your reasons for wanting the job each and every time too because you're an experienced hire and this is basically a glorified help-desk role.
All in all, they are very disorganized, very unprofessional, very impersonal, and they don't give you a timeline on anything. I applied for an April opening and they didn't get the ball rolling until March. Mind you, I applied February 1st. They said they were considering me for July the last I spoke to them. I'm due for round 4 interview but with no contact in sight. When they make me the offer, I will be glad to decline it.Interview Questions
No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
- Why Bloomberg? Role play with an angry client. Role play with an Equity Viewer problem. Test your language (if you are multilingual they will ask you to explain your last job or something in that language). What is your approach to sales. What is the most difficult thing about the role play. Randomly chosen questions to define two economic terms (these are ridiculously random and out of econ or micro / macro 101 classes). Absolutely NO finance questions. Can you explain the role to us in detail (they want to make sure you know this is help desk without saying it is a "helpdesk" position because they still need to sound fancy.) It is a glorified call center but pitch it as something prestigious. Answer Question

Overall the process and questions were exactly as reported by previous candidates postings here. I prepped by knowing my resume inside and out, reading the financial news, and compiling all the questions listed on this site. Because of my technical background they didn't ask me many financial questions. I discussed my news sources from and how I utilize that information.
The biggest advice I can give is to know what the job is, how your skills transfer, and speak to the opportunities a firm such as Bloomberg can provide long term. The firm invests in its employees with an excellent training program and they don't want to see that investment walk out the door to another firm.Interview Questions

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Bloomberg L.P..Interview Details
First Round - Phone Interview
Very standard and friendly. I was asked to walk the interviewer through my resume and then answer why I want to work for Bloomberg. A week later I received an email inviting me to the HQ for an interview.
Second Round - In-house Interview
The in-house interview consists of a demonstration of the terminal, 2, one on one interviews (30 mins each) and a tour of the headquarters. Again, the interview questions are pretty standard:
Tell me about yourself.
Why finance?
Why sales?
Tell me about a time when you were bold.
Sell me your favorite sport
How does the terminal benefit oil companies?
Exactly one month later I got an email stating that I had one more interview in-house.
Third Round - Inhouse Interview
This round is the final and toughest round so you better bring your A game. It consists of shadowing a current employee for half hour. So ask a lot of questions about what he/she is doing. Then two rounds of interviews. The first with 2 team leaders and the last with a manager. The interviews with the team leaders and managers are a mixture of standard fit questions but they can get very technical.They'll ask you questions like:
What's going in the markets?
How do you think that affects Bloomberg?
What would you do if you didn't have to worry about money?Interview Questions

Financial Sales and Analytics InterviewApplication Details
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks – interviewed at Bloomberg L.P. in January 2015.Interview Details
Applied online. Was contacted a few weeks later to do a phone interview. HR seemed overwhelmed but finally we agreed on a time. Im pretty sure i got the phone interview because an alumnus put my resume through.
Phone Interview was standard. A few questions on character traits and enthusiasm. And a few talking points based on experience delineated in the resume.
Got an email about a week later, inviting me to the second round visit at 731 Lex in Manhattan. Depending on how many other candidates there are that day, youll be divided to shadow an analyst not much older than you and pretty much get an accurate feel for what the role entails - thats for 30 mins.
The the face-to-face interview with 2 senior sales and analytics people. Know your story well, theyll ask you o repeat it in a few different ways many times. i dont think theyre trying to get you to trip up or catch you saying something you dont mean, but they want the genuine story. Overall you can take their questions and direct them in any way that you want. Call their attention to certain things that you want them to hear. Definitely rehearse your talking points! Make sure to have at least 30 mins worth of questions to ask them, because they will allocate about 30 mins for your questions. This is the key place to demonstrate interest in the position. Show enthusiasm, and tell them how passionate you are about helping people.
Then you go for an hour tour of the building, where you are meant to ask questions almost constantly. i felt like i had to ask insightful questions almost regularly just to beat out the other guy that was on the tour with me.
Then you meat up with the HR rep who set you up with the interview. She tells you that youll get an email about the next steps.

Great place, lovely people and close to everything.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
It has cheap rooms and also good deals with 20% off if you stay 2 or more nights. The location is out of the hustle and bustle of the city centre and a 5 minute walk from the AirAsia terminal but you need a taxi to get to/from the other terminal. About 100m walk from a quiet beach and some great places to eat. The staff are very friendly and organise plenty of activities so you won't be bored. Also there is a communal kitchen and relaxing area for everyone to use. Overall a really good stay and I would recommend it highly if you don't mind being a little away from town.

It is very convenient for the airport if you are flying with air asia from terminal 2 - literally 10 min walk and easy to do even with a big rucksack. The beach is dirty and there is an open drain going to it and the food court on the beach is average. Other than that the accomodation is over priced for what you get - we are coming back this way but will stay elsewhere.

This is a fifteen minute walk from the airport, with a big backpack. Not located in central Kota Kinabalu, but it's easy enough to walk to the local bus stop and head in from there. The rooms are only ok, but for the price they are fine. I went out to Sandakan for a night and then came back and the staff were very accommodating. They held my bags and let me get right back into my own room the next day.

... there were flowers. These flowers are amazing: They do not have photosynthesis and they have a stem instead of roots: for this, they are closer to a mushroom than to a flower. But they are pollinized by a green bottle fly. You never know when they bloom, maybe once every 3 to 5 years and, when it does, it is a big event. The Rafflesias are protected and so people make you pay to see them. The biggest ones can be ...

Toronto Raptors at Chicago Bulls: Tuesday NBA game preview
Ex-Raptor D.J. Augustin steps up for banged-up Bulls.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Three things to know about the Chicago Bulls, who host the Toronto Raptors Tuesday night at the United Center (8 p.m., TSN2/TSN radio 1050, live blog at thestar.com):
Still banged up
Heading into a game Monday night in Memphis, the Bulls were, of course, without Derrick Rose (knee, out for season). Jimmy Butler is battling a bad case of turf toe, while Luol Deng continues to be listed as day-to-day with a sore left Achilles. There is no word on whether Deng or Butler will play.
Finding a fit
D.J. Augustin couldn't maintain his place in the rotation with the Raptors, who waived him to make room for players acquired in the Rudy Gay trade. It's not the same in Chicago, where Augustin has logged more than 30 a minutes a night for the Bulls in three games heading into Monday's outing against the Grizzlies.
He's hot
In the absence of Rose, and with Deng hobbled and Butler hurt, Chicago centre Joakim Noah has picked up the pace. In the first 12 games of December, Noah averaged a double-double of 13.7 points and 11.8 rebounds per game.
