Analyst Interview
I applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at Goldman Sachs in July 2009.
The online application was really long, and the word limit on the cover letter made it really challenging. I was told that there was only going to be a behavioral interview but they gave me a case study during the first round interview, which caught me by surprise.

I was interviewed by two people together for 30 minutes. They were really nice and I felt that they were interested to getting to know the junior people they brought in for interviews. Most of the questions were behavioral, and a large portion was about my personaility and teamwork spirits. I am a foreign student, and they specifically asked me about my experience in adapting to the American culture. They were also very open and honest to the questions I asked.Interview Questions

Pretty tough interview. They had us actually do calculations on site. It was sort of a group interview and there were multiple interviewers. Eventually they split us into groups and then individuals. The test was hard because I hadn't done those types of calculations and graphs since my sophomore year in college.Interview Questions

Had one interview with one young analyst and one experienced analyst. Asked "why are you interested in our company and what can you bring?" types of questions. Seemed to be looking for people that didn't stand out and didn't have too much of a unique personality, judging by my friends' rejections as well.Interview Questions

You meet with a variety of managers ranging from senior analysts and assistant vice presidents all the way up to to the managing director(s) of your team/section. Some interviews are informative (about the role your applying for) and some are more inquisitive and testing. The process can be intimidating for some, but if you have the right personality and can show a can do attitude coupled with a willingness to learn and evolve with changing tasks, you would make a pretty solid impression.Interview Questions

The process took a day – interviewed at Goldman Sachs in June 2010.Interview Details
Was approached by a Head Hunter saying there was an Analyst position with Goldman Sachs. A meeting was set up for one week later.
Interview comprised of 3 x 30 minute interviews with 2 analysts and 1 associate, one after the other. Was fairly informal, mainly discussing my career history, achievements, motivations and ambitions. Did not have any technical or competency questions.
Found the attitude of the interviewers very peculiar; I was told there were little to no progression opportunities from the role and two of the interviewers were trying to convince me I was overqualified and my explanation for why it wasn't constantly fell on deaf ears.
After the dust had settled, the feedback from the interview was that I had "no hunger" for the role. I guess saying the phrases "I'd be really excited to take up this role" and "I'm excited about the learning opportunities this role would provide" at least two or three times to each interviewer didn't count.
My experience from the interview was very negative. Not only did I not get a call back, but the feedback I received was completely fictional, so I can't even look for any areas to improve. If I didn't have another job offer already in the bag I would be very disappointed.Interview Questions

Harriet Evans Martin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harriet Evans Martin (died 1846) was an Anglo-Irish novelist.
Born Harriet Evans, she was the daughter of Hugh Evans, senior surgeon of the 5th Dragoon Guards. George Evans, 4th Baron Carbery may have been a paternal relative, as she dedicated one of her books to him.
Her first marriage, c. 1788, was to Captain Robert Hesketh, R.N., by whom she had no issue. In May 1794 she remarried to Richard Martin MP (1754–1834), by whom she had three daughters and a son. One of her children, Harriet Letitia Martin, would herself become a noted writer.
Martin established her reputation with the publication of her Remarks in 1802, a well-regarded critical study on the performances of stage actor John Philip Kemble (1757–1823).
- Historic tales. A novel, Dublin, 1788
- Remarks on ... J. Kemble's performance of Hamlet and Richard III, London, 1802
- Helen of Glenross. A novel, London, 1802
- The King of Connemara, Shevaun Lynham, Lilliput Press, Dublin, 1975

For the community, the sports complex was a decade-long goal. However, the land available was very steep. The Corps had land that was flatter and more suitable, so a transfer was done. "It is a great place for friends and family to gather and enjoy the outdoors," Royce said. He worked closely with the Army Corps of Engineers, Mayor Don Bankhead, the Fullerton City Council, and community service organizations to make this complex a reality. It was a long time coming, as development plans were conceived years ago.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- A 30-year-old Alaska man mauled by a bear pleads for help in a recorded 911 call, telling the dispatcher he's up a tree and can hear the animal huffing below him.
In the recording released by Alaska State Troopers, Ben Radakovich tells the dispatcher to send an ambulance, saying he is "bleeding bad."

Ganked! - July 25, 2006
So RadarX and the Ten Ton Hammer - EverQuest 2 crew are out neglecting their duties to play the EverQuest progressive servers. By all accounts, it's a blast. No expansions, no twinks, just that old-time religion that so many of us loved to hate to love once upon a time. The latest images from the next EverQuest expansion ("The Serpent's Spine") look great too. Apparently EQ alums are coming out of the woodwork; the tree snakes and fire beetles of Nektulos Forest only last seconds before succoumbing to waves of newbie garden bottomfeeders. In 5 or so years, will we be reliving the newbie nostalgia with World of Warcraft?

Is it just me, or does this level look really bad? I have to say I haven't been impressed at all with the colour and texture choices for the UT3 levels I've seen. One, the resolution doesn't seem that good. Quite bad actually. And two, the colours chosen are boring and drab. Everything's blue and gray.

I'm not 100% on this, maybe I'll get it once I'm bored with CoD4 Which won't be for a while
#3 by derrickgott007 on November 23rd, 2007
I don't know about this game…Seems too twitchy for me. I know that the person playing is using a keyboard and mouse because he turns too fast for a controller.
Have all the Unreal games been run & Gun? I don't like those game types. I like more of a Socom/ Call of duty style game where you have to use squad based tactics.
#4 by MetalProxy on November 23rd, 2007 [ 3426 Points ]
This game is geting to be very questionable now…and yea the level is crap.
#5 by John on November 24th, 2007
Yes, UT is about run & gun (and a fast variant of it).
As for tactics, there can be quite a bit of it, even with full-bot teammates (at least on the PC, properly ordering your bot mates around would make a lot of difference). There doesn't seem to be much of it in the console videos though…
#6 by Lifendz on November 25th, 2007
That looked god awful.
#7 by The Claw on November 26th, 2007
There is an awkward level of negativity in the comments posted here.
I mean, we're back to bitching about colors? Come on…
Also, that level isn't crap. Sure, it doesn't have lava, ice, or a Rube Goldberg device that automatically captures the flag for you, but it's definitely a well designed multi-level CTF map.
As for the speed of gameplay; yeah, it's fast. Faster than Halo or Call of Duty, but not so fast that you can legally cry about it without sounding like a cream puff.
I wouldn't be so quick to write off Unreal Tournament 3 seeing as it has more expandability and multiplayer features than ANY current console game.

Barnes & NobleLive, from deep in outer space, it's washed-up '60s Hanna-Barbera cartoon superhero turned late-night talk show host, Space Ghost. The signature original program from Cartoon Network's early days (1994), Space Ghost Coast to Coast took to the air in 15-minute form, featuring Space Ghost in the host's chair with two villains from his salad days, Zoltar and Zorak, as his director and music director, respectively. Guests appeared "live" via remote in a TV screen that dropped down next to Mr. Ghost's desk, where he subjected them to questions that inevitably included variations on the "What are your superpowers?" theme. Just shy of genius and never short of fun, Space Ghost Coast to Coast succeeded in part by never letting its guests seem to be "in" on the joke. That is, despite the artifice necessary to make it seem that a cartoon character was conducting interviews, the interplay always felt spontaneous. This 16-episode set collects the program's earliest outings and makes a strong case for considering Space Ghost alongside America 2Night's Barth Gimble and Primetime Glick's Jiminy Glick in the faux-host hall of fame. The episodes and guests follow:
Disc 1:
- "Elevator" featuring Judy Tenuta, Timothy Leary, and Ashley Judd
- "Spanish Translation" featuring Kevin Meany and the Bee Gees
- "Gilligan" featuring Bob Denver, Dawn Wells, and Russell Johnson
- "CHiPs" featuring Joe Franklin and Bill Carter
- "Bobcat" featuring Bobcat Goldthwait and the Ramones
- "Punch" featuring Cindy Guyer, Jerky Boys, and Dian Parkinson
- "Banjo" featuring Schooly D and Weird Al Yankovic
- "Batmantis" featuring Adam West, Lee Meriwether, and Eartha Kitt
- "Story Book House" featuring Kirk the Storyteller, and Carl the Cartoonist Disc 2:
- "Girlie Show" featuring Frank Drescher, Carol Channing, and Alice Cooper
- "Hungry" featuring Michael Stipe, Lassie, Sirajul and Mujibur
- "Fire Drill" featuring David Byrne and Donny Osmond
- "Sleeper" featuring Hulk Hogan and Slash
- "Jerk" featuring Palmer Mills and Sandra Bernhard
- "Urges" featuring Catherine Bach and Matthew Sweet
- "Explode" featuring Terry Jones and Glen Phillips

Chemical weapons may have been used in a deadly attack in Aleppo, Syria on Tuesday. Both the government and the rebels blame the other side for the weapons use. Field reporters say there are numerous casualties and a strong smell of chlorine in the air. The use of such weapons is considered a red line to the Obama administration.

Keywords: Red line, Syria, chemical weapons, chlorine
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Reports from Syria are coming into the newsroom claiming that chemical weapons may have been used by government forces on rebels in Aleppo, Syria. Syrian officials are saying the attack was perpetrated by terrorists. It has used this lie before to create confusion over the government-sanctioned killing of civilians.
UPDATE: Human rights observers say at least 26 people have been killed in the chemical attack. The attack also included conventional artillery and bombs fired by Assad forces.
Both sides accuse the other of delivering the weapons via missile. It is not believed the rebels have access to such weapons, however it is well known the government does.
Reporters and photographers say they have seen people with breathing problems in area hospitals and that there were people dying in the streets. The Obama administration has made no statement about the attacks as the news is breaking.
Previously, the administration said such an attack would be considered a "red line" which could spark U.S. military intervention in Syria.
There is little debate that chemical weapons have been deployed, however the mutual accusations make it difficult to fairly asses blame. While it could be a rebel tactic to spark international intervention, it is also more likely the result of a government strike and represents an escalation of the conflict into using weapons of mass destruction.
Catholic Online will keep you informed as this story develops.

Cybercrime and government surveillance pose a risk to the internet comparable in a scale comparable to the 2008 financial melt-down, the World Economic Forum warns in this analysis of the risks facing business and governments in 2014. The report assesses the impact of cybercrime and government surveillance on the public's trust in the internet, and warns that the potential fragmentation of the internet could have a serious impact on the global economy.

They speak such a fast and sloppy dialect of it in the Caribbean islands compared to the clearer dialect in Mexico and Andean South America. Well, I guess he wasn't necessarily learning Dominican, and Puerto Plata has nice beaches which Quito and Medellin and Antigua don't have.

Random House New Releases - Antiques & Collectibles - Clocks & Watches http://www.randomhouse.com/category/ www.randomhouse.com 2006-03-13T11:23:00-05:00 Anniversary Clocks by Peter Wotton www.randomhouse.com
Anniversary Clocks
Written by Peter Wotton
Trade Paperback, 56 pages | Shire | Antiques & Collectibles - Clocks & Watches | $12.95 | 978-0-7478-0733-9 (0-7478-0733-7)
The mechanical anniversary clock, also known as the 400-day clock or torsion pendulum clock, is one of the most popular clocks ever invented. Anniversary clocks are recognizable by the decorative balls beneath the dial that rotate one way and then the other. To house the attractive mechanism, every style of clock case has been used although perhaps the most endearing is the glass dome. The dials, hands and ornamentation have also varied steadily over the last century. Called the anniversary clock because it needed winding only once a year, it has carried on into the days of no winding at all.

Church Clocks
Written by Hugh Rock
Trade Paperback, 64 pages | Shire | Antiques & Collectibles - Clocks & Watches | $12.95 | 978-0-7478-0687-5 (0-7478-0687-X)
Since the medieval period, mechanical clocks located in churches across Britain have told the time to local communities, or displayed the phases of the moon and the heavens on an elaborate astrological face. During the six-hundred-year history of the mechanical church clock the design of these timepieces changed remarkably little, and in most respects the classic Victorian clock, made with a high degree of accuracy using the latest techniques, was very similar to the type of blacksmith-made medieval movement that can still be seen in places like Salisbury Cathedral. The gentle developments and refinements that helped to make clocks more accurate and easier to maintain are detailed in this engaging book, which traces the history of church clocks from the wealthy abbeys and cathedrals of the middle ages through to the electric movements of the present day that are steadily making redundant historic clocks that have served for centuries. Focusing on some of the most noteworthy church clocks in the UK, and drawing on the intriguing stories behind them, Church Clocks is an absorbing survey of the timepieces that were, and still are, much-loved features of many communities.

text: Dave Palumbo Paints Beautiful Demons, Bad Deeds and Lots of Link [Art] by Lauren Davis December 1, 2012 9:00 AM Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Dave Palumbo can paint a dragon with the best of them. The oil painter is often tapped to illustrate fantasy book covers, and it's easy to see why. He has a strong sense of light and knows his way around the anatomy of monsters and mythical beasts. But his best paintings are the ones with a touch of horror to them: hands grasping from the dark, women with blank eyes, bodies stumbled across in the woods, Elder gods, men who can no longer control their own actions. But then again, he also paints a mean Legend of Zelda scene. Magic: The Gathering players may recognize some of Palumbo's paintings, and he's also painted designs for Dark Horse, Tor Books, Night Shade Books, Ace Books and Spectrum. You can see more of his fantasy artwork on his blog, deviantART gallery and portfolio site, or, for something a little NSFW, you can also check out his paintings of nudes.

The news that the imprisoned Afghan student Sayed Pervez Kambaksh is now a free man is very welcome. Kambaksh, after all, was arrested in October 2007 for a crime that no citizen of a democratic state would consider an offence. All he did was to download some articles on the treatment of women in the Islamic world and distribute them among his colleagues at his university in Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan.
For this misdemeanour he was denounced by the local religious zealots and sentenced to death. After several months spent on death row in the grimmest conditions imaginable, an appeal resulted in the sentence being commuted to 20 years. Now we are pleased to report that he has been secretly pardoned and spirited out of the country to a safe place somewhere in Europe.
The Independent was the first newspaper in Britain to report this whole appalling business in January last year. Since then more than 100,000 people have subsequently signed our petition calling on the Foreign Office to exert pressure on the authorities in Kabul to release Mr Kambaksh and a host of organisations has become involved in the young student's plight. The United Nations criticised the handling of the trial. The European Parliament condemned the sentence. Human rights organisations, such as PEN, adopted the cause. The then US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, was persuaded to take up the matter personally with the Afghan President, Hamid Karzai.
Some credit should go to Afghanistan's much criticised leader for the release of Pervez Kambaksh. Mr Karzai faced a dilemma. He was subjected to vehement criticism from Western politicians and civil society groups for allowing the student to be imprisoned in the first place. But he also received savage attacks at home from conservatives for allegedly showing too much readiness to bow to Western pressure on the issue. Whatever political calculations lay behind his final decision, he did the right thing in permitting this man to leave.
The fact that Mr Kambaksh will probably spend the rest of his life outside Afghanistan, possibly under a new name, however, is a sobering reminder that this is not an episode with an entirely happy ending. It is indeed a depressing reflection on the state of Afghanistan eight years after Nato forces intervened to topple the Taliban government that a young man has had to flee the country for the "crime" of trying to engage people in a discussion on the dismal state of women's rights.
Following shortly after Mr Karzai's decision to approve a controversial law that permits men to refuse their wives food or money if they deny them sex, it might suggest to some people that women's rights have not improved at all since the Taliban were forced from Kabul. This verdict is too harsh. We should not forget that no girls were allowed any kind of education under the Taliban while today a couple of million girls are at school. There has been a start.
Meanwhile, the Kambaksh case once again reminds us that when public opinion is mobilised throughout the world behind a good cause, it can – just occasionally – force politicians to change their minds. For that we should be grateful.

Description: 32 - Thirty Two Prion Snowboard Boots
Said to be the most comfortable boot ever, the Thirty Two Prion is back again this year to remain the holder of the comfy crown. A softer flex rating of three will give you an advantage when nose pressing that double kink. And the heat moldable liner with a 3D moldable tongue will add to the response factor while keeping your feet cozy as can be. Pry your feet out of your scrapped past-season boots and party in the Thirty Two Prion.

- Comfort fit
- Level 2 Liner
- Level 1F
- Flex: 3/10 Rating
- Rubber outsole with EVA cushioning
- 3D Molded Tongue
