Level III preparation in three weeks

Hello everybody,

I’m a 2015 level III candidate and my bank has offered to pay the exam fee + books to all level II and level III candidates and best level I candidates. The thing is that we will have a “CFA style” exam on the 27th of October to determine which level I candidates will recive the scholarship and How prepared are level II and level III candidates. I haven’t studied since I wrote level II in June and I would like to prepare for this exam in order to not leave it blank…

I think the best way is to read 2014 secret sauce and EOC concept checkers from the 2015 curriculum (which I already have). What do you guys think? any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

They will test you from Level 3 Curriculum or just basics from L1 and L2???

Are you writing the exam next June… So whats the purpose then? a Refresher?

Take three weeks off if they want to give you a test in october

Just remember that it’ll be a relative performance evaluation. You don’t have to get a pass necessarily, you just have to beat your peers.

I’m writing the exam in June 2015 and they will tesst me from L3 curriculum. The main purpose is to determine what is our current level in order to better prepare the classes we are going to have to prepare the exam.

A M4tt30 said, I know is a relative performance thing, since I’m copeting against my colleagues. I already know that they will pay for my fee so I guesss the thing is that it will really embarrase my if know almost nothing in 3 weeks time…

you’ll be fine

I think it depends on which topics you feel more comfortable on. If you are good with memorising and applying rules, I would focus at least a week of the remaining time to hit Ethics and maybe GIPS. If you are more comfortable with key concepts, I would briefly run through the key concepts of the asset classes (four of them, I think) and maybe behavioral finance.

Myself, I would go for some of the low hanging fruits: -

  1. Brush up ethics (maybe a day or two spent here). Ethics here is a rough repetition of level 1 and 2 with a small addition of the asset manager’s code. Given your time constraint, I will just go for revision rather than worrying too much about the AMC.
  2. Understand the biases for behavioral finance with emphasis on identifying the different behavioral bias (both cognitive and emotional)
  3. Focus on the Institutional Portfolio (If time is short, focus on the IPS for pensions (defined benefits only), foundations and endowments; glance through the IPS for the two types of insurance and their distinguishing features). Remember that the IPS components for Institutional Investors are usually already stated in the question. It is basically up to you to pick it up (unlike individual IPS where you actually need to calculate quite a few stuff or judge whether one point is more relevant than the other).
  4. Some of the calculations required for Capital Market Expectations and Asset Allocation are actually pretty basic and can be worth a decent chunk of marks in the AM portion.
  5. Speaking of Capital Market Expectations and Asset Allocation, I would get a general idea of some of the basic concepts (the different ways of evaluating overvaluation of the market, corner portfolio, etc.)
  6. Just the key concepts for the four asset classes (fixed income, equity, alternative investments and derivatives). The different types of option curves are good to know – if you had a solid understanding of options in L1 and L2, you could probably get this within an hour or so.
  7. VAR, in particular, appears to be a fan favourite. Do understand the different types of replication for equities and fixed income.
  8. Understand the concepts in portfolio execution, monitoring and rebalancing. There are a few simple calculations that you might want to get (mostly on calculating variants of weighted average). Some of these are even repeats of L1.
  9. There are some simple calculations available in Evaluation and Attribution. The text book was a little vague on the macro and micro attribution concept but I managed to get a good understanding of them by creating a table of attribution analysis on Microsoft Excel and changing the various numbers repeatedly.

If I was in your position and followed the advice above, I will probably still fail but I think I can put up a halfway decent fight. I skipped individual portfolio and GIPS above because personally I was not very good at individuals (return calculation are a pain and personally, I feel that there is some subjectivity there but fortunately, some of the questions are usually tagged along with behavioral finance so identifying biases certainly help push up your individual portfolio scores) and I only managed to get GIPS a few weeks before the real exams.

I didn’t actually use the Secret Sauce but when I glanced through a copy of the Secret Sauce, I felt that it is an excellent book for revision but probably less awesome when it comes to picking up the concepts initially. Note that I never actually used the Secret Sauce so take that with a grain of salt.

It’s great to see the employers valuing the program so much. My boss has been trying to memorize the three letters and the sequence in which they come for the last four years and still coming short. AFC, CFO… he has tried many combinations.

Agree with him. 3 week is just a very short time. You should review the knowledge of level I and level II exams, and only look at a summary of level III.

Disagree with that. While the time is probably just enough to look just at a summary of Level 3, I am not sure how helpful the Level 1 and 2 exams will be given that the focus of the syllabus is very different. Assuming that the OP’s bank is planning to have a “CFA style” exam, OP should focus on just Level 3.

Such a waste… Why are they testing you Level III in October " Mini CFA test" ? so the employer can pay or just a competition fluff!!! Level III concept is different and focus on emphasizing what you have learned in the past two levels… In terms of how prepared you are, i am sure you have crossed the two levels you know where you stand in finance…

I still dont understand why you have to go through this… believe me save their money for now till Mid-August when you get your “Congratulation…” note from CFA and then get your money back

The thing is they want to check our current level in order to organize the classes we are going to have… I guess that if our exam is horrible, we will start with basic things. If the test is pretty OK, classes will be more difficult.

At least it is a reason for me to start studying early…


There will be a wine ...

Late summer pleasures

Slowly as every year the summer says goodbye until next year and will be replaced by the autumn.

The days are getting shorter, in the morning it can be quite cool. Only during the day until early evening we can still enjoy warm temperatures and sunshine outdoors.

So what would then be better than to rest after a pleasant walk in a wine tavern (Heuriger) at a beautiful late summer day. And then it is already written: storm time, or maybe even fresh „Staubiger“ (dusty wine).

What now? Are stormy times comings, so you should unpack the windbreaker? Is there dirt alarm?

Far from it, if you read this, then be curious, sit down comfortably and just try it. Because „Sturm“ and „Staubiger“ are two very tasty precursors stages of wine.

From the grape to wine ...

But first things first. After harvesting, the grapes are pressed and so grape juice, or (sweet) must arise. If then not everything is already drunk (it really tastes very good) buut stored then it begins to ferment.

The next stage is then called „Sturm“ (storm) which simply referrs to young wine still in the fermentation phase. So it mostly tastes sweeter and more intense after grapes.

Once the fermentation is then almost completed a bit later, this unfiltered wine is called „Staubiger“ (dusty wine). This tastes much drier, and has more alcohol than the „Sturm“.

... and then to the Heurigen

In any case, both „Sturm“ and „Staubiger“ go very well with the hearty food in the wine tavern. What should also be mentioned, however, that excessive amounts of both drinks can be very good for digestion and the next day might bring some headache. But enjoyed in moderation, these two early stages of wine are very tasty companions for warm autumn days.

In this sense, enjoy your meal.

For a list of Heurigen in Vienna have a look at the website of the Vienna Tourist Board, to find the nearest one to your apartment.ccv

1.There are many processes for the production of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde. At present, the industrial production mainly includes phenol, p-cresol, p-nitrotoluene and other raw materials.

2.The phenol method can be divided into Reimer Tiemann reaction, gattermann reaction, phenol Trichloroacetaldehyde route, phenol glyoxylic acid route, phenol formaldehyde route, etc. Phenol process is characterized by easy access to raw materials, simple manufacturing process, low yield and high cost.
The process of p-nitrotoluene to produce p-hydroxybenzaldehyde includes three steps: oxidation-reduction, diazotization and hydrolysis.

3.P-cresol catalytic oxidation the process is to directly oxidize p-cresol to p-hydroxybenzaldehyde with air or oxygen under the action of catalyst.

The specific process flow is as follows: add p-cresol, sodium hydroxide and methanol into stainless steel pressure vessel, stir until it is completely dissolved, add cobalt acetate to seal the reactor, raise the temperature to 55 and start to introduce oxygen, keep the pressure in the vessel at 1.5MPa and react for 8-10h, strictly control the oxygen flow rate in the reaction process, and install coil cooling system in the vessel, when the temperature rises, the jacket of the vessel will be provided The cooling water can be connected. At this time, the coil begins to be connected with cooling water, strictly control the total amount of oxygen, and keep the temperature in the kettle at about 60 . At the end of the reaction, the material is put into the primary autoclave, the solvent methanol is evaporated and recycled, and hydrochloric acid is added after water is added for salting out. The solid-liquid material is filtered by a centrifuge, and the solid obtained is dried in a vacuum oven at about 60 for 3-5h, then p-hydroxybenzaldehyde with content more than 98% can be obtained.

In March 27, 2017, the Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI) ranked London, New York, Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo as the world’s top five financial centres, assessing them for business environment, financial sector development, infrastructure factors, human capital, and reputation and general factors.

Asia-Pacific financial centres in the top 20 include Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney, Shanghai, Osaka and Beijing, and 21 of the 88-strong GFCI list are from Asia-Pacific. Leading Asian financial centres rose significantly while western European ones remained volatile. Singapore gained at the expense of New York, while Beijing jumped 10 places.

How will major global forces and trends such as Brexit, the new US administration, increasing protectionism and digitisation affect Asia’s financial centres? In the short term, the situation is becoming increasingly tense. Political, security and major social upheavals undermine investor sentiment and unsettle financial centres despite improvements and gains from trade agreements, strong intra-Asia business environment and other key areas.

North Asia is particularly exposed to higher political and security risks. If the security threat escalates to armed conflict on the Korean Peninsula, this will greatly undermine South Korea and, to a lesser extent, Japan.

Meanwhile, India is contending with an unresolved border dispute with China, as well as the latter’s strategic ties to Pakistan. If the US engages in an economic stand-off and sanctions with world powers such as China, Chinese financial centres will be seriously affected.

While south-east Asia centres are suffering fewer similar risks, they do face terrorism, insurgency and transnational crime as well as ongoing maritime disputes with China, which is trying to secure territorial and maritime claims in the Yellow, East and South China seas. Besides China, the Spratly Islands are claimed by Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan. If confrontation involved Japan in the East China Sea or the Philippines in the South China Sea, the US would be obliged to consider military action under defence treaties.

Brighter prospects in Asia include rising economic growth, market liquidity and financial technology development, improving ICT and transport infrastructure, as well as increasing workforce education and skills. These factors underpin the longer term ability of the financial sector in Asia to ride out any current – or brewing – storms.


Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were approved by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015. They are 17 goals, 169 sub-goals and 229 indicators to be achieved by 2030. The SDGs balance the three dimensions of sustainable development (the economic, social and environmental dimension) within the framework of peace and cooperation.

Project: Women Empowering Women Entrepreneurs

Gender- and social inequality are known constraints to economic growth. As evidenced by the Tanzania Development Policy Vision 2025, the benefits from poverty reduction initiatives are unequally shared with women and marginalized populations, which contributes to pervasive poverty throughout the country. Rural communities are very poor, in part because there are limited work opportunities for women, who are then unable to contribute to the household financially and rely on men to sell crops or seek non-farm income in the workforce.

Most women are not participating in work, or they are given domestic work like fetching water or caring for the youngest and oldest household members. In addition, cultural traditions such as FGM, women’s inferior role in marriage, and polygamy reduce women’s access to education, which keeps women out of the workforce. This lack of education prevents women from benefiting from development initiatives offered by the government and NGO because many women lack the education and exposure to try new things.

While some women in Kigamboni have engaged in entrepreneurial activities such as selling vegetables, selling batik or kanga to tourists and local people, or selling breakfast snacks and chai and food near the market, many women lack the exposure or skills to start their own business to earn income.

The biggest constraints for many women are lack of education and exposure to other women who are working. Therefore most women stay at home doing domestic work despite the fact that they are talented and could do something to contribute to their household income to reduce poverty. Self-employment also means both women and men have equal opportunities to work, therefore reducing women’s one-sided dependence on men for household income.
Through talking to some women in the Kigamboni community, we have observed two types of women who could benefit from additional skills to become an entrepreneur:

  • Group 1 - Unskilled Inventors: They have an idea of doing something, and some have tried to put idea into practice, but failed or get unexpected outcome/results because of how they do it.
  • Group 2 - Unexposed Observers:They really want to learn how to do something that can make them money, but they don’t know how or where to seek help.

Both groups of women would benefit from entrepreneurship training in a community-based format, learning from other women in addition to a trusted facilitator.

WEWE is based on the idea that women have valuable skills and insights to share with other women, regardless of their formal experience working in a business. WEWE would employ a similar model to other group-based development initiatives such as Rotating Savings and Credit Associations (ROSCAs) used to help women save money or Community Producer Groups designed to help farmers share agricultural knowledge, market information, inputs, and labor but oriented toward a goal of entrepreneurial development, particularly for women. The WEWE project seeks to address the lack of education and exposure to business for women in order to help them build or grow entrepreneurial enterprises that generate income for their household.
The overall goals of the project are to:

  1. Provide women an opportunity to learn about different ideas related to starting and growing a business
  2. Facilitate the skill-sharing and group-based financing mechanisms necessary to help women start or grow their businesses
  3. Provide opportunities for women to earn or increase their income

In addition, the project aims to increase decision making roles for women within their households and to reinforce the fact that household gender equality is important in every aspect in life in order to reduce poverty

WEWE plans to build on the group-based, mutual aid model employed in agricultural development and microfinance efforts to bring a group of women together as a social development project. However, WEWE model proposes grouping both groups of women outlined above together to learn from each other in the group format, regardless of previous exposure to entrepreneurship.

Our plan is to facilitate opportunities for women from various communities and businesses to interact with each other in a group setting to collectively discuss business ideas, opportunities, constraints, and solutions. For example, some women have already started a business while some others have not, so those who have already started a business can help the other women by sharing their experience, including the ways they financed their business originally and any other lessons they have learned. While the WEWE group facilitators will provide some trainings themselves or will coordinate with other NGOs to provide skill-building training to the women (e.g., record keeping, learning about market prices, formalizing the business with the government), the group facilitators will work with the participants to determine an appropriate curriculum given the group’s self-defined learning goals.

While the goal of the WEWE groups is to help expose women to other women with the goal of helping them develop their own or their own shared business, we will not require women to have a specific idea in mind before they join the group. Some women may wish to participate and hear what others are doing first before developing their own idea, but they can still benefit from participating and can contribute ideas to other participants who have or are thinking of starting a business themselves.
Several aspects of this proposal are subject to further field testing through interviews or focus groups with women who fit the target population. However, the basic idea involves the following activities:

  1. Small groups in each neighborhood of roughly 6-12 members will meet regularly to discuss business opportunities, exchange ideas, and save money. Participants in the entrepreneurial learning circle will take turns hosting the other participants to learn about their existing business or to share ideas to improve the host’s existing business plan. Participants will learn about and from their group members’ entrepreneurial ideas, which can help them develop their own entrepreneurial ideas as well.

    Group composition: Ideally, we will have a mix of the two types of women (above). However, it may be difficult to create a perfect mix, and geographic considerations may outweigh the benefits of recruiting the perfectly mixed group. It may also be possible to form groups based on pre-existing groups or affiliations. For example, we could recruit women who belong to or are affiliated with existing groups (e.g., women’s saving groups, mothers of same-aged children).

    Benefits: Through peer observation and knowledge sharing, members can learn from each other and think of ways to develop or improve their own business ideas

  2. WEWE facilitators will also encourage members of the entrepreneurial learning circles to help each other with large tasks that require group labor on a regular, rotating basis. These tasks may include cleaning a plot of land to start a business, painting, working at a restaurant, or making a product to sell (e.g., food). other with tasks.

    • For members who already own or work at a business, the host can choose what they would like the group to help them. For example, if they visited a local restaurant, members could help cook or wash dishes. This would be especially beneficial for women who have not worked outside of the household since they can learn by doing instead of watching.
    • Structure/Timing: This can be done weekly or however frequently the members would like to meet. Group members in WEWE could choose to define a set list of tasks or let the host choose which tasks they would like completed when it is their turn to host. Groups can also choose if they would like to have one designated day for labor sharing activities (like Saturday).
    • Benefits: This component helps build skills and provides pooled labor for business owners to support their businesses and accomplish larger tasks better suited for a group work day than an individual. While some households have access to informal labor during times of peak labor needs through extended family or through purchases labor, not all women do. This component enables all WEWE members to benefit materially from group membership in addition to the education and exposure components through the learning circle alone. This method has been tested in rotating agricultural groups through the Women in Agricultural Value Chain (WAV) project, in which farmer groups facilitated a rotating labor group to help out with more labor-intensive tasks at key agricultural windows such as plowing, weeding, or harvesting. In addition to providing labor for more labor-intensive activities, this component also builds in a commitment mechanism to ensure all members have a chance to benefit from group membership with whatever tasks they would like help accomplishing to develop a sense of shared success.
  3. In addition to skill sharing and skill building activities, the WEWE groups will also provide a mechanism for women to participate in group savings through a ROSCA or Savings and Loan model to enable women to save the capital necessary to start or build their business. The group can create a shared savings accounts and develop whatever institutions they feel are necessary to ensure the funds are withdrawn only for business development purposes.

Due to the dispersed environment in Kigamboni, we will go house-by-house or street-by-street to educate potential group members about the goals and activities of the WEWE group as well as what they can expect to achieve as a result of participating to motivate them to join. Given the expansive geographic area to cover in Kigamboni, it will be helpful to recruit a local liaison in each [[neighborhood/community]] to help facilitate local recruitment in order to maximize the number of women who learn about the opportunity.

We will ask permission to community leadership to speak with the community and ask if they have names of women who currently own or work in a business. Then I will ask the women I meet to recommend other women who community leaders did not recommend.

It will be important for the group to develop a contract at the beginning during formation to ensure all members agree to the same goals and general rules. WEWE facilitators can help groups start this contract by providing a template and facilitating discussions about what some shared goals or rules might be, but the contract and participation requirements will ultimately be up to each small group.
Parameters of the contract may include:

  • Attendance/Absences
  • Rotating labor group rules (which tasks, how many hours
  • Minimum savings requirements
  • Rules for withdrawing money
  • Reasons for group dismissal

The WEWE project aims to affect the following outcomes:

  • Entrepreneurial activity engagement
    • Increased participation in non-household labor
    • Increased knowledge about business skills (e.g., record keeping, obtaining supplies, navigating government permits, if appropriate)
    • Increased market orientation (e.g., knowledge about prices, where to sell, where to obtain supplies for lowest prices, what technology to use)
  • Increased wealth
    • Measurable increases in cash or in-kind income
    • Increased savings
    • Increased ability to pay for expenses such as children’s school fees, sickness, large household purchase
  • Autonomy
    • Increased confidence, sense of self-efficacy
    • Increased role for women in household decision making due to more equal role in household finances
  • Women’s time allocation:
    • Greater leisure time relative to labor due to benefits of shared labor groups

Trim The Footprint @ Tanzania

Vzw Greenforward is a non profit organisation who has been active for 19 years in West Flanders, Belgium. The organisation is based completely on the enthousiasm and work of volunteers. Every year, they organise the Irie Vibes Roots Festival, a low budget, open minded, family friendly and ecological aware festival that attracts about 2500 people. In their actions and activities, the organisation always tries to keep the ecological footprint as low as possible. Social engagement is an important aspect of the working of the organisation. vzw Greenforward strongly believes that music transcends prejudices, music unites. But it’s not just about uniting, words of beliefs. They want to make a change in this world. In 2018, vzw Greenforward received the Ovam Green Event Award.
Together with ngo WEEDO and the communities in Kigamboni, vzw Greenforward wants to start up the Carbon Free Project “Trim your footprint”. The project is not only about reducing the own co emissions, we want to increase reforestation and support the use of clean ovens in the region.

The WEEDO is the ideal partner for us, because it gives us the chance to combine both our ecological and our social commitment. Educating and empowering women can be a keystone to change the world.
In 2019, vzw Greenforward funded a banda where the women of Weedo can come together.

Also in the summer of 2019, vzw Greenfoward and Weedo joined forces and planted 150 trees in the region of Kigamboni.

Yet, we want to do more.
In cooperation with local communities, we want to plant a whole forest in the region. We would focus on native trees, but also on fruit trees, so the community can prosper directly from the project. The members of WEEDO can start an entrepreneurship keeping gard of the forest, watering the trees, selling the fruits from the trees,...

On a regular basis, both organisations have contact with each other. There a several skype calls and we keep each other informed about our actions. In addition, crew members of vzw Greenforward visit WEEDO yearly. Together, they talk to local governments, ngo’s and WEWE groups.

The United Kingdom and Erasmus: An Obituary

, by Florian Bauer, Isabelle Walker

The United Kingdom and Erasmus: An Obituary
Credit: Caitlin Tilley

On Christmas Eve 2020, Boris Johnson had a disappointing present for students in the UK and EU: the announcement that the UK would be pulling out of the Erasmus programme. This was a huge shock, as a future of easy mobility between the UK and EU seemed more out of reach than ever.

Johnson’s main justification for this decision was financial, saying that the new Turing scheme will provide a better value for money. The withdrawal is particularly bitter for EU citizens who planned an experience abroad in the UK, as it will not be financially viable anymore for most of them. The move also risks alienating the UK further from the EU, although that might be regarded as a positive side-effect by many Brexiteers.

The Erasmus Programme, which stands for European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students is an EU-wide exchange programme established over 30 years ago in 1987. The Programme aims to provide students with the opportunity to experience a global education. Over 5,000 universities currently participate across 37 countries, which equates to 6 million students taking part in the programme.

The Turing scheme, named after mathematician and code-breaker Alan Turing, will replace the Erasmus programme in September 2021 and is said to provide funding for around 35,000 students in universities, colleges and schools to go on placements and exchanges overseas.. While it’s reassuring that there will be some sort of alternative, there’s no doubt that a lot of students will feel the loss of the Erasmus programme.

We spoke to students in the UK who have been able to take part in the Erasmus programme in recent years about their experiences of what it was like to study abroad in the EU.

Erasmus: Germany

Laura with the international choir, Bonn
Karneval 2012, Cologne

Being able to study abroad for a year in Germany thanks to the Erasmus programme really opened my eyes to the limits of the way we think and act in our own cultural bubbles. My time at the University of Bonn in Germany showed me how other educational systems work, what is considered important in the curriculum and the kind of skills that are valued. This causes you to question the system and culture you grew up in – but in a constructive way. Why do some people think differently and how can we use that as a strength?

Erasmus helps you to move abroad by making the administrative, financial and logistical barriers much smaller. It is an educational experience, but also a personal one. When you live in a new culture and society, you notice how people do things differently – at first, everything seems different and confusing. Who knew that the Germans, so strict and sensible according to the stereotypes, seriously let their hair down on 11 November for the Cologne Carnival? But eventually, you take the best parts back to your home country and they form part of your personality. You realise that people from Germany, Spain, Estonia or Turkey might speak a different language and eat different food, but we all share the same hopes and fears.

After my year in Germany, I got itchy feet and moved to France, then to Belgium. I still love the UK, but I feel sad that future generations might not get to experience the richness of studying abroad and making new friends via the Erasmus programme.

Erasmus: Spain

The Erasmus programme enabled me to move abroad for a year and improve my Spanish skills. From Erasmus parties to tandem language exchanges, it was an incredible experience that offered so many different opportunities. It allowed me to connect with people all over Europe from different backgrounds, and make lifelong friends.

Taking part in the Erasmus programme really pushed me out of my comfort zone and enabled me to live away from home in a different country for a year. I was able to work for a year and gain experience in marketing which is what I want to go into in the future, and also continue my studies.

Living in Spain helped my Spanish improve so much, as I was able to spend a couple of months working for a Spanish company which gave me a lot of confidence. The Spanish courses that the universities in Barcelona and Zaragoza offered helped me improve my grammar. This opportunity will no doubt benefit me in the future as it has given me something that could stand out in job applications and interviews.

Students will be so discouraged from pursuing languages at university without the Erasmus scheme as for me that is what initially attracted me to the course. It’s hard to fund and organise a year abroad without the support and guidance of the Erasmus programme.

Erasmus greatly changed my perspective on both Spain and Europe as a whole. I was nervous at first to move to a different country but when I settled in I realised how friendly everyone was and how eager everyone was to make friends. I love the Spanish way of life, it’s so relaxed and they really value spending quality time with family and friends.

I got to travel to different Spanish cities including Alicante, Valencia and Teruel, and each stood out to me for different reasons. It made me realise how each city in Spain really has its own characteristics and history and it is worth exploring and visiting as many places as you can whilst you’re on your year abroad.

Ciara Richards

Erasmus: Germany

During my Erasmus I did a 12-month working placement in Munich (2018-2019). I worked in the trade show department of a German tech company and had the time of my life. I ended up finding another internship for 3 months so that I could stay in Munich for the rest of summer before my final year of uni. Once you realise how you can reach so many other countries so easily from Munich, Europe becomes your oyster.

Munich living is very expensive, so I was so grateful to have this grant that was able to give me memories that will last a lifetime.

I fell in love with the Bavarian way of life and decided to move back to Munich July 2019 (during the pandemic) after graduating, so I got a job in Marketing here. It made a huge difference having the experience of working in a German company on my CV and my language skills had greatly improved, which made me stand out as an applicant. I cannot express how grateful I am to the number of European people I met through Erasmus, I have never felt prouder to be European than I was surrounded by such a diverse group.

I was incredibly sad to hear that the UK would no longer be taking part in the Erasmus programme. It stung because my own experience has shaped so many of my opinions and feelings about Europe. It stung even more because Boris Johnson lied in January. It stings even more because after moving there, there is a stereotype of English people speaking no other languages and there is no way this will ever be improved if the Turing Scheme encourages Commonwealth countries.

It’s incredibly frustrating and sad to see people (from an older generation) bashing Erasmus and describing it as a holiday. I worked harder for that internship than any other job, gaining experience and communicating in another language every single day. It differs but the mandatory salary is not enough for students to live in a city like Munich – the grant made it possible for me to excel during this year.

Erasmus: Spain

I was lucky to complete my Erasmus year in Madrid. My Erasmus experience was one of the best experiences of my life. As someone who comes from a working-class background, not many people I know can afford or are at liberty to move abroad for a year. Thanks to the Erasmus scheme and the grant I was able to do so. Linguistically, my Spanish improved massively while living in Spain. But I think the most valuable thing was that I was forced out of my comfort zone, which has made me much more confident in myself and my abilities. I frequently tell myself that if I can move to a new country by myself, I can do anything!

Being on the Erasmus program allowed me to meet a plethora of students from all around Europe; it made me feel a part of an international community abroad. I enjoyed meeting and sharing experiences with friends from Italy, France, Germany etc. It was easy to make friends at university or events as Erasmus students gravitated towards each other and found friendship in the fact that we were European and in Spain - we were all in the same boat. I travelled around Spain, engaged with the culture and genuinely learnt a lot about Spain, Europe and European life. I was able to attend protests, find new hobbies, visit museums and really engage with Spanish culture, an experience I would not have had if I was not abroad!

I think that the UK no longer being part of the scheme is a great shame, students like me who cannot afford to move abroad without the grant/aid are now going to be deprived of a life-changing experience. I fear that the replacement program will not be as fruitful, engaging and will have many setbacks.

Erasmus: Spain and France

The Erasmus programme enabled me to spend a semester studying in Pau in the south of France, as well as a semester studying in Valencia, Spain. I enjoyed this experience so much and I learnt a lot about the different cultures in both Spain and France compared to the UK. BY spending so much time in the local communities, I was able to drastically improve my language skills.

Taking part in Erasmus is such a unique experience as you meet lots of students who are all in the same boat and everyone is so friendly. I met so many amazing people from all over Europe, who I am still in touch with. It was very beneficial for me as without the Erasmus programme I would have struggled to fund this incredible year, and I doubt I would have been able to have the same experiences.

Erasmus helped me to connect with EU students and create a sense of community. It is very sad that future students from the UK won’t be able to take advantage of this life-changing experience, as it had such a big impact on me. It really changed my perspectives and gave me a newfound sense of independence - it is an experience I will never forget!

For part two of this series, we will be speaking to EU students who have had the opportunity to take part in the Erasmus scheme in the UK.

You may come across lots of online services in this digital world. Many people are entirely living in the internet world. So comparatively, you may find a better platform for each option as various social platforms are available online. If you spend more time online, then you may have heard about the very popular platform Twitch. Twitch is a central online platform for watching and streaming digital video. It started nearly solely dedicated to video games but has now extended to include streams dedicated to artwork production, concerts, chat programs, and the infrequent TV show.

How Well-known Is Twitch?

Twitch attracts over 2 million particular broadcasters every month, with over 17,000 of these individuals earning resources through the Twitch partner program, which offers streamers additional services like ad placements and paid subscriptions. Twitch came under the control of Amazon in 2014, and it is still one of the most popular internet traffic providers in the United States. People who are serious about this platform can also buy Twitch viewers to stand out from the crowd.

Where Is Twitch Available To Watch?

Twitch streams are available on the official Twitch website and via several official Twitch apps for iOS and Android, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Amazon’s Fire TV, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and 4, Roku, the NVIDIA SHIELD, and Google Chromecast. Viewers do not need to log in to watch Twitch broadcasts or videos. Instead, users can add their favorite channels to a follow list, similar to how they might subscribe to a YouTube channel, and participate in each stream’s chatroom by creating an account. In addition, Twitch streamers frequently use hosting to transmit another network’s video broadcast to their existing following.

What Are the Best Ways To Identify Twitch Streamers To Watch?

On the first screen of its webpage and in its apps, Twitch suggests broadcasts. Another excellent method for finding potential Twitch channels to follow is to look through the games genre. This feature is accessible on any Twitch application and the Twitch platform, and it makes it simple to locate a live stream related to a given online gaming title or show. Famous, creative, communities and discover are some categories to look into. Although not all of these are available in the official Twitch apps, they may be discovered in the explore area of the official site. Several of the most successful Twitch streamers are also prominent on Twitter and Instagram, making these two social media platforms excellent places to look for potential broadcasters to track. Using social media to identify new streamers is especially important for determining their personality and other hobbies, which can be challenging to understand when looking on Twitch explicitly. Twitch stream, Twitch streamer, and streamer are all recommended keywords to utilize while searching Twitter and Instagram.

Twitch Isn’t Just About Video Games Anymore

Twitch began as a video game streaming service, but it has grown to include a wide range of live streams aimed at a wider audience. IRL (In Real Life), which has streamers merely conversing with their viewers in real-time, is the most prominent non-gaming genre. As most people would correctly anticipate, Cooking includes food and cooking shows, while talk shows consist of a combination of live podcasts, panel discussions, and even professionally produced variety shows. Finally, try out the Innovative section if you are seeking something a little more creative. Creators, developers, illustrators, gamers, and strategists broadcast their innovation side with the public, and all these channels typically draw a significantly more specific crowd than other genres. Some creators buy Twitch followers to stay ahead of the competition.

What Twitch Functionalities Are Accessible?

The platform’s primary feature is live-streaming, but there are plenty of other ways to get the most out of it. You can follow or subscribe to a channel if you are a fan of it. The first choice is completely free. The latter is charged every month and allows you to support your favorite streams. If you have Amazon prime, you can even use Twitch along with the prime gaming feature. This service comes with a single channel subscription, unique loot, badges, chat options, and the opportunity to record broadcasts for later viewing. In some games, such as league of legends and star wars squadrons, you will even get free monthly contests and in-game goods. Entire chat systems are available for all streams. It gives Twitch users a place to communicate with one another during downtime or while watching, but make sure you follow the community guidelines and don’t share or post any objectionable content or hate speech. If you decide to start streaming on your channel, you must follow these regulations. TwitchCon is an annual convention where fans can meet their favorite streamers and celebrate the culture of broadcasting.

Final Words

These details would help you to get some knowledge about some of the most important things you need to know about Twitch. So make use of it and give it a shot accordingly.

One Student: Assisting Individuals Stop Sexual Violence

The 411: One sexual attack is too numerous, and One Student thinks even one individual makes a positive change in minimizing sexual violence, which is why the not-for-profit offers cutting-edge programs, resources and chances to generate personal change.

Whenever Kelly Addington was intimately assaulted in college, she and her best friend, Becca Tieder, looked for support on university, merely to discover deficiencies in beneficial materials and programs.

When they started discovering solutions at various other campuses, Addington and Tieder learned that many pupils thought in the same way they did â they desired something a lot more when it comes to intimate physical violence sources at their own class, and desired a method to act by themselves.

What started as an individual trip has turned into a public goal in the shape of One pupil, a not-for-profit organization that offers students and frontrunners the tools and systems they need to have their own voices heard making a genuine difference in shrinking and finally getting rid of intimate physical violence.

As the creators, Addington and Tieder have created a reference like hardly any other, one that’s cost-free, inclusive, talks to a bigger audience and is accessible.

“We wished to have conversations, but we don’t desire to be barriers to anybody’s personal justice,” Tieder stated. “We realized if we were probably repeat this work with the degree of ethics that has been crucial that you all of us, we must make some thing renewable and provide something to anybody just who planned to act and be a part of the personal justice activity generate actual, enduring modification because it’s pertaining to violence avoidance and healthy connections.”

Aiding college students pave the way

One pupil features countless incredible and special programs, that it is challenging never to speak about them all, but manufacturing Fellowship is definitely an excellent place to start.

This specific reference permits college students to create video clips of their own inside hopes of challenging some people’s opinions about sexual assault, promoting healthier connections and more. One pupil can there be every step in the method, providing the independence and support each pupil demands.

“Our creation Fellowship plus the response it’s garnered world-wide is an activity i am exceptionally happy with,” Tieder said.

Another task this is certainly generating a large impact could be the Collegiate Consorstium, which unites pupil leaders across one condition to produce social change in their unique particular communities.

Through One pupil and its own services, the U.S. is creating its way toward the forefront of intimate violence avoidance, and university students and teachers tend to be paving ways with each other.

“Everyone loves that all our products, methods and campaigns are incredibly inclusive and chat to a wide variety of audiences all around the globe and they’re all complimentary,” she stated. “they truly are timely and related, there’s no buffer to view.”

An organization that’s usually evolving

Constantly getting and replying to feedback is the reason why One college student resonates with and empowers so many people, irrespective of how old they are, race or gender.

“Our company is actually driven by the conversations we are able to have with students and believed frontrunners, so we make an effort to meet those requirements such that lets men and women have a significant change in the act,” Tieder mentioned.

Sufficient reason for brand new products starting from year to year, One college student will continue assisting colleges develop influential policies, remain ahead of the curve and really become familiar with just how pupils experience these vital subjects.

“to make a move mission-based you really love is an advantage,” she stated. “If you have a concept or a vision, reveal. We will utilize all of our institutional information and all of our accessibility, and we also’ll build your sight become a reality whether it aligns with this mission.”

The Washington PostDemocracy Dies in Darkness

Why so many Tunisians voted away the democracy won in the Arab Spring

Tunisians celebrate the exit polls indicating a vote in favor of the new constitution in Tunis on July 25. (Riadh Dridi/AP)

TUNIS — Three days before Tunisians voted on a new constitution their president pledged would propel them into prosperity, Nori Saif sat on a bench downtown, rattling off the prices smugglers charge to sneak young men into Europe.

The cheapest journey, he said, would run him around $1,200. A smuggler with a better guarantee could cost more than $3,000.

As for the vote?

“I only heard about it yesterday,” he said. “We have no hope. Nothing will change.”

Eleven years ago, masses of civilians gathered on this same avenue in Tunis, calling for autocrat Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali to step down. It worked. Ben Ali fled the country and later died in exile. Tunisia began the long process of remaking itself as a democracy — the only one to survive the turmoil of the Arab Spring.

Now, Saif, who is 27 and recently left his home in a small town south of the capital, was sleeping outside and looking for any work to help fund his migration to Europe. Like many other young Tunisians of his generation, the spark of hope that ignited the Arab Spring has been extinguished. Disenchanted by ineffective politicians and paralyzed by a worsening economic crisis, he sees only one path forward: leaving the country.

At the same time, many others in Tunisia have put their faith in a leader who tells them he can fix their lives if they just vote to expand his power.

The law professor who set out to dismantle Tunisia’s democracy

The sense of despair is a reversal of the shared optimism of 2011, when young Tunisians flooded back into the country to support the revolution. Their collective burst of hope for something better was so contagious that the spirit of change quickly spread across the Arab world.

“In places where there are dictators, people saw a little country that made its revolution and succeeded,” said Mohamed Abbou, a lawyer and politician who was imprisoned during the Ben Ali regime.

Tunisia set an example as a country that accepted Islamist political parties, including the moderate Ennahda, which was long part of coalition governments. As other countries in the region slipped back into autocracy or war, Tunisia wrote a new constitution and secured certain freedoms that left activists elsewhere envious.

But over time, the country’s new and fragile democracy faltered. Political infighting left lawmakers divided and unable to overcome economic crises or deliver on the promises of the revolution.

Then in 2019, Tunisians voted Kais Saied in as president. A little-known candidate who taught law at Tunis University, his supporters saw him as the antithesis of the political elite — someone with a clean record who would root out corruption and move Tunisia closer to its democratic ideals. It soon became clear that he had little time for the checks and balances of the country’s fledgling democratic system.

Last summer, amid worsening economic conditions, constant quarrels with lawmakers and a massive coronavirus outbreak, Saied suspended parliament and fired his own prime minister. He described it as a chance to weed out the corruption that he said was causing the deadlock. Many of his supporters stood by him, even as his opponents decried it as a coup. Taking full control, he promised, was the only way to fix the nation.

But soon even his initial fan base began to view his growing hold on power as a threat to Tunisia’s democracy, especially after he curtailed the independence of the judiciary, dissolved parliament and introduced a controversial new constitution putting even more power in the hands of the president.

Tunisia “was a source of inspiration that was attacked by the corrupt and then by a crazy person,” said Abbou, who supported Saied’s decision to suspend parliament last summer but now vehemently opposes him.

He, like many other Tunisian political thinkers, says Saied took advantage of people’s economic discontent. What he’s advertising is a new and more prosperous Tunisia, Abbou said. But what he is actually selling is a dismantling of the country’s democracy by gradually designing a system of one-man rule.

‘There is no other way’: Tunisian judges on hunger strike for democracy

Anouar Ben Kaddour, a leader in the powerful Tunisian General Labor Union, said Saied was able to undo the existing system by presenting a deceptive set of solutions to young people.

“Young people waited 10 years; they didn’t see anything,” Ben Kaddour said. “Everyone wants to leave.”

“We can’t use populism to say to everyone that tomorrow we are going to resolve the problems,” he said.

It’s not that Saied’s supporters were opposed to democracy, explained Monica Marks, a professor of Middle East politics at NYU Abu Dhabi. They were just convinced that he would be able to tackle the country’s long running problems.

“They didn’t come onto the street [last summer] thinking they were burning down democracy. They came out on the street thinking this was the best shot to deliver revolutionary dreams,” she said.

Some firm believers still think Saied can deliver those dreams, she said. Others, angry at the political stagnation, now acknowledge they are prioritizing stability over democracy.

Many Tunisians have blamed the Islamist Ennahda party for the country’s political failures — claims that party officials say are efforts to scapegoat them for systemic problems.

The party’s leader, Rached Ghannouchi, a former political prisoner who went into exile in Britain before returning to Tunisia after the revolution, is now under investigation over allegations he participated in money laundering — a charge he vehemently denies. He acknowledged that resistance to Saied’s agenda has been weakened by a lack of unity among lawmakers and that not enough progress came out of the revolution.

“It is true the past 10 years were not a decade of economic prosperity,” he said, while still maintaining that “10 years of freedom were not erased by [Saied] and that it’s still in the minds and hearts of the people.”

His party immediately declared Saied’s move to suspend parliament last summer a “coup” and continues to decry his actions.

“We stood up and tried to deliver as much as we [could],” said Said Ferjani, an Ennahda lawmaker from the since dissolved parliament who was imprisoned and tortured in Tunisia in the 1980s.

The same people who have been disappointed by Ennahda and other politicians over the last decade, he said, cannot claim their dreams have since been realized under Saied either.

“At the end of the day now, the choice is between accepting dictatorship and bowing down to it, or to stand up against it and fight it … in a civil way,” he said.

The third option is to keep looking elsewhere.

For Saif, that means focusing on finding a way to Europe — and fast.

His mother is sick, and the rising pressure to support her has left him “scared to stay here.”

“This is a country where only policemen and the rich live happily,” he said, making the same complaint of his peers who took to the streets 10 years ago in hopes of something better.

It can be hard to design a kitchen. The number of options means that the choice of the kitchen design can be confusing. People are often confused when they decide to design their kitchen. They have to take many different factors into account during the process. The entire process takes a lot of time. It is divided into three to four major phases. These are then divided into ten to fifteen minor phases. You can track the time spent on each phase of renovating the kitchen design and come up with an estimate of the cost. The work itself is relatively straightforward but still takes time. The average kitchen takes about three to four days to renovate. This is the time needed for basic renovations.

Decor of the kitchen:

Advanced kitchen renovations in Sydney take even longer. These include the fixing and installation of tiles. Most kitchen designs feature floral patterns. This is because they are very appealing. This can be a hindrance for some people who do not have that much time. Many people prefer to wrap the interior designing of their kitchen very quickly. This is because it is disturbing having other people in your house. It is also a cause of noise, dust and disturbance.

Selecting the tiles:

The tiles that make up a kitchen’s walls are an important part of its design. They make up most of the kitchen. They make up thirty to forty percent of the surface area of the kitchen. The average kitchen uses about fifty to sixty square feet of tiles. The amount of tiles needed for a kitchen’s design depends on its size. Most kitchens do not need any extra tiles. You should stick with your initial estimate when buying tiles for installing in kitchens.

The work itself is discretionary and might take more time than expected. It depends on the discretion of the designers involved. Most designers recommend spending thirty to forty percent more time than what has already been decided. Most people choose a constant theme for their kitchens. An example is a beige theme. Beige themes for kitchen designs are very common. They have replaced white themes as the most common ones. This has resulted in beige tiles selling very quickly. The theme of a kitchen’s interior design depends on both the colour and the decorative patterns.

The decor of a kitchen is made up of many things. The main thing is the colour theme of the kitchen. The colour theme of the kitchen is the background of its design. All other items are decided after finalising the colour theme. The colour theme should match the furniture in the kitchen. The furniture is often a share or two darker than the colour scheme of the walls.

1952 MG YB

Overhauled – Overhauling the Brakes on the 1952 MG YB

The 1952 MG YB in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop has come into our restoration team for a brake service.

Rob carefully took apart the brakes on the classic MG saloon to inspect all the shoes, seals, cylinders and hardware. Upon inspection of the front brakes, he discovered the wheel cylinders to be leaking and had soaked into the shoe material. So a new set of shoes and cylinders were installed into the front and adjusted out.

At the rear, the cylinders, shoes and hardware were all in good order and just required a rebuild and adjustment. After this, the brake system was bled ahead of it beginning road tests and adjustments if needed.

The Taurus SHO is the fastest, most expensive Ford sedan | Revelations with Jason Cammisa | Ep. 08

 Published On Jul 1, 2021

With a development budget of $3.5 billion, the Taurus was Ford's most expensive project ever. It was also a Hail Mary for the company, which was in financial trouble.

And the SHO was the fastest version of the Taurus.

If the Taurus failed, so, too would Ford. It was so important to the success of the company that Ford restructured the engineering and design teams to work together on the new family sedan.

The Taurus's design was so revolutionary that Ford kept its previous mid-size sedan, the LTD, in production at the same time, just in the new car failed — as the other American car executives predicted it would.

Instead, Taurus was an enormous success, eventually becoming the bestselling car in America. The performance version, the Taurus SHO, used the same basic 3.0-liter Vulcan V-6, but instead of pushrods, it used four overhead cams and 24 valves. The DOHC 4-valve heads were designed, manufactured, and assembled by Yamaha in Japan.

The SHO used a Mazda-sourced 5-speed manual and was the most powerful front-wheel drive sedan in the world. The only four-doors quicker or faster in America were the BMW M5 (E34) and 750iL. It was a performance bargain.

But although Ford sold around 400,000 Tauruses per year, it didn't come close to its target of 20,000 SHOs annually. Except for the first year with the new, optional automatic transmission and larger 3.2-liter SHOgun engine.

Why didn't the SHO sell? Well, because it looked like a Taurus — then, the de rigueur family sedan for the person who didn't care about performance.

So the SHO was a victim of the Taurus' success.

A comment was made on a video of mine "why would anyone go to these measures to make something by hand? This is why we have 3D printers." I hope #handmade never loses its place, value or appreciation. Over looking what a person can create and devalue it because technology is developing its own technique that replicates a small portion of what "we" can do. A little concerned that the perception might get lost but I also think it's important to keep this content out there and continued to be shared. There are people who enjoy working with their hands, that can #create and #build That some soul, piece of them, is in everything they touch. Hopefully the generation(s) coming up don't get lost in a predetermined mind set. Maybe some will find their purpose and that might mean it's a hammer in their hand. In my case it's a chisel this morning. #dirtysmith #coffeetalk #supporthandmade #wood

Have a Cuppa Tea

All over the world, if you order tea, it means hot tea. Except at f***ing Starbucks, it would seem.

I came back from Ireland on a bit of a tea kick. Itâ€™s especially satisfying in the afternoon instead of a cup of coffee– and easier on the stomach. Plus, thereâ€™s also something nice in the ritual of it, waiting for the tea to steep and so on. It requires a bit of patience.

Now at Starbucks, unlike in the rest of the universe, if you order tea, they want to know if you want iced tea. Yesterday, I couldn’t take it anymore:

Rob: Iâ€™d like a grande black tea, please.

Barista: Iced tea?

Rob: No.

Barista: Hot tea?

Rob: Yes, of course. Hot tea. You know, when someone asks for tea, it means hot tea. Unless they specifically ask for iced tea.

Barista: Well, some people say tea and mean iced tea.

Rob: Well, theyâ€™re wrong.

At this point, the barista turned around to fix may hot tea. And probably spit in it, too. So much for that patience thing.

Angry White Man

Now -everywhere I go- people are wagging their finger at me, saying “Don’t talk back!” I stopped running it on the air so much after a barista at Starbucks recognized me. Now I keep the shades on when I’m jonesing for a non-fat latte, what with my newfound fame and all. Even after all this time, I forget that the TV is a powerful and potentially dangerous tool.

Meow! I am Yetzamil, a cat sitter in Los Angeles, CA

Hi there! My name is Yetza (Jet-sah), and I can't wait to meet you and your tiny furry master!

I have had cats ever since I was old enough to take care of them. Being introverted, I find it easy to relate to cats since we know how to give each other our space when necessary.

I grew up in Puerto Rico and moved to the states right after graduating college. My cat at the time, Mimi, stayed back home with my mother because I didn't want to put her through the stress of such a big move. She's also an indoor/outdoor cat, and I wasn't going to be able to give her that once I moved. So we decided it would be best for her if she stayed in the home she knew and loved, with people who would take care of her just as I would. Today, Mimi is a senior cat and is doing very well. Every time I talk to my mom I ask about her and seeing her when I go visit is always a real treat.

A couple of years after I moved I missed the company of a kitty and that's when my fluff queen, Kumi, came into my life. I formed a bond with her I had never had with an animal before. Which is why when I had to suddenly say goodbye to her January 2021 I was devastated and heartbroken. I did everything I could to save her but our time together had to come to an end. I haven't fully recovered yet, but my love for tiny felines and my need to interact with them still remains.

Cat sitting provides a way for me to lovingly play and care for cats while providing their humans the relief of knowing their furry ones are in good hands when they're not around. I know firsthand just how important this is.

I have the ability to read a cat's "vibe" and body language and calibrate accordingly, so I can ensure the cat is comfortable and not stressed by the presence of a stranger. I once lived with a kitty who didn't like hands but I was still able to bond with him because I would use my feet to pet him instead! I will only play with a cat as much as they want to, and will let them dictate the level of closeness/touch that they're comfortable with. I will also never interact with anything in your space that's not absolutely required to take care of your kitty. I will show the utmost respect for your space and your property. I can also administer meds if necessary, as I am familiar with giving pills, liquids, eye drops, eardrops, and topical medications.

I can walk to nearby neighborhoods and I also share a car with my partner so I would be able to visit other areas if scheduling allows for use of the car. Message me and we will figure it out!

I am fully vaccinated and will still wear a mask to every meeting if you so desire. Your safety and mine are top of mind.

I am a Software Engineer working remotely so my schedule is considerably flexible during regular work hours. When I'm not working or watching cat videos I love dancing, especially Latin dancing. I recently got into Ballroom and look forward to growing my skills and technique. I also love baking, reading, and writing as creative outlets.
