When will BMC use new technology to fix roads?
The civic body has built roads in Mulund and Chembur using UTWT and they are in good conditionmumbai Updated: Jul 15, 2016 00:31 IST
Despite the old ways failing consistently, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) seems to be averse to trying innovations by civic engineers.
Here are two examples: Vishal Thombare, an assistant engineer, developed ultra-thin white topping (UTWT) technology in 2009, while assistant municipal commissioner Sharad Ugade came up with the idea of using rubberised mastic asphalt.
The UTWT method involves layering the cold mix asphalt used to fill potholes with best quality concrete (around six inches in thickness). The layer is less porous and develops high strength within 48 hours. The road is durable for at least 15 years and don't need much maintenance. The civic body has built roads in Mulund and Chembur using UTWT and they are in good condition.
An engineer from the road department said, "Contractors will be caught immediately if they use substandard material while filling potholes, as cracks will appear on the surface."
In case of rubberised mastic asphalt, powdered rubber tyres are added to asphalt to increase the lifespan of the road. The rubber powder holds the mixture together and reduces the chances of potholes. Rubberised mastic asphalt has been used on a road in Dadar and will be used in Bandra too. "The road in Dadar is in good condition. The technology should be used widely," said Sandeep Deshpande, MNS group leader.
The BMC also bought three Jetpatcher machines at a cost of Rs3 crore for the island city, western suburbs and eastern suburbs. The machine can be used to fill potholes within hours – by pouring hot mix asphalt into a pothole and flattening the surface using the machine. The authorities have, however, been refraining from using it owing to the cost of operation and maintenance.
The Thane Municipal Corporation, however, is using the machine and the result has been good.
Sanjay Deshmukh, additional municipal commissioner, said, "I am not aware of UTWT technology and Ugade is yet to update me on the status of Bandra road where his technology was used. If the results are good, we will consider it."

Rouben Mamoulian's Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde is regarded by many as the best movie version of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale, and it's not hard to see why. Quite apart from its lavish production values, its attention to detail, its magnificent central performance (which earned Fredric March a well-deserved Academy Award - a rare distinction for a horror film) and its famous special effects, the film benefits enormously from having been made before the full enforcement of the censorious Motion Picture Production Code (popularly known as the Hays Code, after Hollywood's chief censor Will H. Hays), allowing Mamoulian to explore his subject matter with considerably more frankness and honesty than he might have been able to had the film been made a few years later. Basically, anyone who's ever suspected that Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is really the story of one man's repressed sexuality erupting to the surface need look no further than Mamoulian's film for confirmation of their suspicions.
That the film is to be an exploration of one man's psyche is established from the outset, with Mamoulian using subjective camera lensing in the opening scene to place the audience directly inside Jekyll's head. The man we encounter there is a cultured and seemingly untroubled individual, used to the luxuries of life and happy to spend his time reciting Bach amid the opulent surroundings of his London home (and gently rebuking his manservant Poole (Edgar Norton) for failing to be moved by the music) rather than attending the local doctors' symposium, where he is due to give a lecture that evening. Jekyll's lectures, we are told, are popular and always sensational. He is quite the celebrity and clearly one of the leading intellectuals of his day; but Mamoulian's use of the subjective camera alerts us to the fact that with this success has come an unhealthy degree of self-absorption, possibly bordering on narcissism, a point that is underscored by the fact that our first sight of Jekyll (while we are still viewing the world through is eyes) is his reflection in a hall mirror as he is preparing to leave the house.
Jekyll, we quickly learn, sees himself as a visionary who recognises no limits to scientific enquiry, unlike his learned colleagues. During his lecture at the symposium he chides them for allowing the London fog to penetrate their minds and cloud their reason. He informs them that he has analysed the human soul and has come to believe that man is not truly one. Part of man strives for nobility (the good side) while the bad side seeks an expression of impulses that 'bind him to some dim animal relation' of the earth. The two sides are chained together but carry out a struggle – repression to the evil, remorse to the good. Jekyll believes that if he splits the two sides then the good will reach greater heights and the bad will be able to fulfil itself and leave us alone. To this end, he has begun experimenting with certain chemicals.
The speech highlights Jekyll's youthful arrogance, but it is an arrogance that is generally tolerated by his peers because as a medical doctor he is undoubtedly a brilliant healer who has the total trust - even worship - of his patients (of course, it also helps that he is charming and good-looking); and Jekyll appears to be totally dedicated to his patients, too - a fact that causes his prospective father-in-law, Brigadier-General Sir Danvers Carew (Halliwell Hobbes), to observe that Jekyll spends far too much time with charity cases and needs to 'come down to earth'. While there can be no doubt that Jekyll's patients benefit enormously from his determination to excel in his chosen field, we can't help but feel that his motives are driven more by ego than by altruism. Despite all this, however, Jekyll is not unlikeable - he is clearly trying to be a good man - and another reason for Mamoulian's use of the subjective camera lens may well have been to help the audience sympathise more with the character by having us intimately connected with him from the start.
Jekyll's impatience with the world also includes his relationship with is fiancée, Muriel Carew (Rose Hobart). He cannot understand why he has to wait to marry her – he cannot understand why he has to wait for anything. To Jekyll, Muriel represents 'the unknown' and offers him a gateway to another world. Jekyll is a man with a passion for knowledge, which also extends to the possibilities he can explore through marriage. Though never stated explicitly, it is nevertheless quite clear that these possibilities include the sexual, a fact that Muriel's father recognise all too well – he is very much against the idea of an early marriage; quite apart from the fact that it goes against tradition, people will suspect Jekyll's motives and Muriel's reputation will be sullied. In short, it would be indecent. But Jekyll, who admits to being frightened by the intensity of his passion for Muriel, is not ready to take no for an answer.
While walking home one night from a party at the Carew's house, Jekyll and his colleague, Dr Lanyon (Herbert Holmes), witness a prostitute, Ivy Pearson, (Miriam Hopkins), being attacked by a man outside her boarding house. Jekyll drives the man away and carries Ivy up to her room to attend to her, whereupon, in an eyebrow raising scene for its time, Ivy pretends to be more injured than she is and begins to flirt shamelessly with him, exposing her bruised thighs and encouraging Jekyll to examine a supposedly injured rib beneath her breast. When he recommends rest and turns away to allow her to undress, Ivy throws a garter at him, which he tosses away with a flick of his cane. As Jekyll returns to further examine her, Ivy grabs him and kisses him just as Lanyon enters the room; but Jekyll doesn't care – he decides to take the kiss in lieu of a fee and leaves as Ivy dangles a leg from the bed and urges him to come back soon; he is, after all, the kind of gentleman a woman would 'do anything for'.
The superimposed image of Ivy's swinging leg accompanies the two men down the stairs and into the street, where Jekyll confesses to having enjoyed the prostitutes kiss. Lanyon is shocked, but Jekyll reminds him that while we can control our actions we cannot control our impulses. He challenges Lanyon to deny that he also found Ivy attractive, but Leyton refuses to be drawn on the matter. To Jekyll, Lanyon is in denial, refusing to admit that the animal side of his nature exists and choosing instead to bury it. Jekyll, on the other hand, admits to it and intends to expose it, with the aim of getting rid of it. At least, that's what he says – the fact that the image of Ivy's leg continues to play on his mind as they talk suggests that he's not being as honest with himself as he likes to think he is.
Spurred to action by his encounter with 'Champagne Ivy' and his frustration with the social conventions that are denying him the conjugal pleasures of a life with Muriel, Jekyll immerses himself in his work. When we see him next he is in his laboratory, surrounded by his chemical apparatus, working feverishly to complete the formula that will separate the two halves of his personality. The formula complete, he locks the door and prepares to drink the potion – and for the first time there is a flicker of doubt on his face. A quick glance at the skeleton hanging in the corner of his laboratory gives him pause for thought and he hastily scribbles a message to Muriel, informing her that if he dies then it will at least be in the cause of science. Then, regaining his composure, he toasts his reflection in the mirror, and downs the steaming potion.
The transformation scenes in this film are justly famous, but it is not actually until much later in the film that we witness Jekyll's full transformation into Hyde. The initial transformation merely hints at what is to come, with Jekyll clutching his throat in agony while his face contorts and begins, almost imperceptibly at first, to take on a darker aspect (an effect achieved with the use of contrasting make-up filmed through coloured filters) before we are back inside Jekyll's mind, watching through his eyes as the laboratory spins around him. After several moments trapped in the maelstrom with Jekyll, the room settles and the audience is led by the advancing camera to the mirror, where they come face-to-face with Jekyll's alter ego for the first time.
With his simian features, pointed cranium (suggestive of some of the early hominid skulls) and canine teeth, Hyde's appearance is certainly in alarming contrast to Jekyll's. His nervous facial twitches and jerks of the head, his rapid breathing and his scuttling, almost ape-like movements – all suggest that Mamoulian wanted Hyde to represent that 'dim animal relation' that Jekyll mentioned earlier; but they also give the impression of a creature unfamiliar with its body and not yet quite in control. Indeed, the alluring physicality of March's performance, in which he conveys perfectly the strangeness of being something new, is one of the highlights of the film. "Free at last!" Hyde cries in triumph once he's gained control; and, having been so intimately connected with Jekyll up to this point, one cannot help but share in Hyde's exhilaration. Seemingly overwhelmed by the possibilities now open to him, he dithers for a moment before dressing to leave the house; unfortunately, before Hyde has the chance to present himself to the world, Poole comes knocking at the door, forcing Hyde to change back into Jekyll.
Time passes; and when Muriel refuses to elope with him and announces that she is going away for a few months, Jekyll resorts to moping in his laboratory like a thwarted child. Like the exasperated parent, Poole suggests that Jekyll needs to stop feeling sorry for himself and get out of the house. Jekyll's foot taps the floor, his fingers drum on the workbench - nearby, a cauldron bubbles and steams - and we sense the pressure building. When Poole reminds him that there are many pleasures out there in the city for a gentleman to enjoy, Jekyll realises that this is the perfect opportunity to give Hyde free reign. A gentleman like Jekyll isn't supposed to indulge in the kind of pleasures that Poole is describing – they have to be very careful what they do and say so that they don't get caught out. It is all hypocrisy, and Jekyll sees Hyde as a way of sidestepping that hypocrisy. Of course, he is also simply trying to justify the inevitable. The possibilities that Hyde offers have clearly been praying on his mind ever since the first transformation.
Hyde's sense of release is even more acute following the second transformation. Dressed as a gentleman, resembling the walking embodiment of Victorian moral hypocrisy, Hyde hits the town. Thrilled and full of energy, even the feel of rain on his face is enough to bring him to rapture. What is particularly clever about March's performance is that for a brief moment he manages to make Hyde seem almost likeable. There is something infectious about his enthusiasm; to an extent, perhaps, we even envy him his newfound freedom. But it doesn't last – very soon his true nature becomes all too apparent.
Hyde goes immediately in search of Ivy and when he fails to locate her at her digs, he is directed to a nearby drinking den where she is known to ply her trade. Arriving at the dive, Hyde is enthralled by everything he sees. After ordering champagne and bullying a waiter who has dared to hang around for a tip, Hyde has Ivy summoned to him. Abandoning the man she has been flirting with prior to Hyde's arrival, Ivy accepts the invitation. She is alarmed by his appearance, naturally, but he tempts her to stay with him with the promise of fine clothes, wine, and somewhere nice to live. After all, that's all she's interested in, isn't it? He admits to being no beauty, but what would she rather have? A hypocritical 'gentleman' who 'likes the leg but talks only about the garter'? In the end, for a girl like Ivy, it's all about the money. Ivy's obvious discomfort is the same for the audience, and we sense that she isn't going to be able to refuse Hyde's offer even if she wants to. Hyde makes this abundantly clear when he smashes a wine bottle and threatens to glass the face of the man Ivy was flirting with before he arrived. A close-up shot of Hyde's face looming over Ivy's not only reinforces the hopelessness of the girl's situation, but must also have had the film's audiences shrinking back in their seats.
So begins an almost textbook abusive relationship, as Hyde installs Ivy in more comfortable digs and plies her with fine wares, whilst exacting violence upon her person, emotionally, physically and sexually. The classic abuser, he tells her he only hurts her because he loves her and justifies his actions by appealing to the fact that at least he is honest in what he wants, unlike the hypocrites she is used to. He bullies her into telling him that she hates him, twists her words, and takes great satisfaction in her obvious unhappiness.
When Hyde is not there, Ivy confides to a neighbour that she is living in terror and reveals the bruises on her body. But there seems to be nothing she can do – Hyde dominates and controls every aspect of her life now.
Meanwhile, Jekyll begins neglecting his patients and his appearance. Poole becomes concerned that his master is sneaking out at all hours through the back door of the laboratory, getting up to who knows what? Gradually, as the weeks pass and Hyde's dealings with Ivy grow ever more sadistic, Jekyll begins to realise what is happening to him and he swears off the drug. Throwing away the key to the back door, he informs Poole that from now on he will only be using the front door.
In an attempt to ease his conscience, Jekyll sends Ivy £50 by way of recompense for the pain he has caused her and resumes his relationship with Muriel, who has returned from her travels but who he has also been neglecting, much to the Brigadier-General's chagrin. By way of explanation, Jekyll claims to have been suffering 'a sickness of the soul' and begs Muriel to help him by marrying him. Between the two of them they manage to convince the Brigadier-General to sanction the marriage, despite the old man's misgivings.
Happy and revitalised, Jekyll returns to work with a determination to get his life back on track. The sense of relief which both he and the audience feel is shattered, however, when Ivy, curious to ascertain why a doctor she has never met should send her money, comes knocking. Jekyll's panic on seeing her is barely contained. On realising that he is the same man who showed her kindness the night she was attacked, Ivy tries to return the money. When he refuses to take it, she shows him her injuries and begs him to save her from Hyde. In her desperation she offers herself to him, swearing that she will kill herself if he doesn't help her, such is her fear of Hyde. For a moment it seems as if Jekyll is about to take Ivy up on her offer, but the reality of what he has already done to her sinks in and he restrains himself, promising her that she will never see Hyde again.
More time passes and it appears that Jekyll has finally managed to overcome his dark urges. It would seem that the promise of marriage has helped to ease the tensions within. A formal wedding announcement is arranged, to take place at the Carew's London home. While making his way to the house through the park, Jekyll reflects on how good life is and stops to quote Keats while listening to a bird singing in a tree. Unfortunately, the bird is silenced by a cat that has climbed into the tree, and this triumph of death not only ruins Jekyll's mood but also precipitates a spontaneous and unexpected transformation into Hyde. Struggle as he might, Jekyll cannot fight it; and liberated again, Hyde runs off, leaving Muriel and her guests to wonder what has become of Jekyll.
Meanwhile, Ivy, thinking Hyde is gone for good, is at home celebrating her freedom with champagne. Standing in front of the mirror she raises a toast to her good fortune and wishes Hyde to the fires of Hell; but our attention is not on Ivy, but on the reflection of the door behind her, because we just know that at any moment Hyde is going to make an appearance. When the door does open and Hyde enters, we almost breathe a sigh of relief. It is, in my opinion, one of the great moments of horror cinema, as heart-breaking as it is frightening. The menacing way Hyde is lit as he descends the stairs towards the terrified Ivy leaves us in little doubt what he has in store for the girl. Enraged that Ivy should have gone 'down on her knees' for Jekyll – the man he hates more than any other – Hyde reveals the truth about who he is and informs Ivy that he has found a new lover for her: death. Ivy attempts to escape, but to no avail, and Hyde introduces her to her new lover by strangling the life out of her. A word should be said here about Miriam Hopkins' performance as Ivy. Ivy is no innocent and is never painted as such; but Hopkins conveys her terror, as well as her hope for a better future, with such conviction that the horror and pity we feel at Ivy's murder are genuine. For all that Ivy is in many ways a stereotype (the proverbial 'tart with a heart'), Hopkins' performance never feels clichéd and is suffused with pathos. (Personally, I think she should have been nominated for an Oscar alongside March.)
The murder brings Ivy's neighbours running, but Hyde escapes into the London fog. He manages to send a message to Lanyon, asking the doctor to retrieve certain drugs from Jekyll's laboratory; but when Hyde arrives at Lanyon's house to collect the drugs, Lanyon pulls a gun on him and refuses to let him leave without explaining what is going on. Impatient to be gone, but cornered, Hyde has no choice but reveal all: he mixes and drinks the potion and we are treated to the film's first full transformation sequence as Hyde reverts to Jekyll in front on Lanyon's eyes. The sequence may look dated to modern eyes, but for its time it is a triumph.
Jekyll breaks down and confesses to the murder of Ivy, begging Lanyon for forgiveness, but his friend cannot give it. Realising that the drug has conquered him and that he will never be able to remove the stain on his soul, Jekyll accepts that he must give up Muriel. Tormented by his conscience he finally resorts to prayer. He goes to Muriel to beg her forgiveness and to set her free, but she is blinded by love and cannot accept what he is telling her. In a scene whose emotional intensity is almost uncomfortable to watch, she tries to persuade him that he is a good man; but her every kind word is torment to him, a reminder of all that he has lost. He has become 'one of the living dead' utterly without hope. Declaring the loss of love as his penance for the crime he has committed, he leaves; but when he pauses outside to take one last look at Muriel through the French windows, the drug takes hold of him again and he transforms back into Hyde. As Muriel weeps at the piano, Hyde enters and grabs her from behind. Muriel's screams bring the household running and in the ensuing fracas Hyde clubs Muriel's father to death with his cane (surprisingly, perhaps, the murder of the Brigadier-General is less explicit than the same murder in the 1921 Barrymore version of the story) before fleeing into the night.
A chase through the streets of London follows, during which Mamoulian transforms Hyde into an angel of death whose vast shadow looms on the side of buildings. With the police and Dr Lanyon in pursuit, Hyde manages to reach Jekyll's house and the final confrontation takes place in the laboratory, where Hyde attempts to elude his captors by clambering monkey-like up and down the tall shelves. He is finally brought down by a single gunshot and dies amid his bottles and test tubes. The film's final shot is of water boiling in a metal pot on a burning stove, symbolising the destructive passions that Jekyll's experiments released (or perhaps even signifying the fires of Hell that Jekyll's soul has gone to, given that God was invoked only a few scenes before).
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a glossy, A-grade production, given the full Hollywood treatment of the day and fully deserving of its reputation. In addition to its emotional and thematic depth, it is visually one of the most rewarding black and white horror films ever produced, with Mamoulian's use of greyscale and shadow lending it all the richness of a full colour movie. The sets are magnificent, with the appearance of Mamoulian's London teetering on the brink of expressionism and its gas-lit warrens representing the byways of Jekyll's unconscious mind. It could be argued that the film is slightly 'over produced', but Mamoulian's use of camera tricks and effects is never arbitrary – everything happens for a reason: the point-of-view shots and close-ups, for instance, are intended to place us directly in the minds of his characters and help accentuate their fears; the presence of mirrors throughout the film is clearly symbolic, as is the use of diagonal wipes to compare and contrast the experiences of certain characters (specifically Muriel and Ivy). With its excellent performances, high production values and, perhaps most importantly, its willingness to bring the story's subtext unambiguously to the fore, Mamoulian's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a cinematic treat and unquestionably one of the best horror movies of the 1930s.

Whenever mentioning Pizza, everyone would think about the Italy – the nation of many ancient cities with romantic paths that everyone desires to see once in life. However, the pizza does not only belong to Italian people but it has also traveled around the world in many kinds of variant forms. That these interesting elements make surprising for the worldwide gourmets.
Discover Pizza's ancestor, the best representation of Italian cuisine
You must have tried this famous dish and found it easy to look for one pizza inn in the city. However, few people know exactly the origin of this crispy cake having a deep crust. The authentic archetype also stir up lots of arguments, when it is argued that its ancestor are the wheat flour cakes baked on the flat and hot stones in Napoli, Italy approximately millennium ago. On the other hand, it is believed that the ancient Greeks who must be the father of this unique cake.
In reality, Pizza appeared in the stone age and started as the dried loaves of bread that are baked on the hot stones left from different fire storms. Afterwards, the pizza surface was spread with the leftover to enjoy, making the Pizza become a budget-friendly fast food.

6 versions of pizza in the world make your heart flutter
- Tarte Flambébe in France
The special feature of this Pizza is that it is not as circular as other normal ones but cut into different rectangles. The cake bottom is thinner with the core that is covered with cheese, cream sauce, onion and sliced bacon.
- Lángos in Hungary
The bottom of Pizza Lángos is made by Hungarian people from the dough and then fried on a pan. The core is covered with cheese, sour cream, onion and shrimps at request of customers, making Lángos become one of the most favorite street foods in Hungary – the country with flourish culture and ethnic history.
- Sfiha in Syria
Sfiha is a little meat pies with the hand size not only favored in Syria but also famous in the Middle East. Quite like baking the traditional pizza, the Sfiha will be baked in the oven at 450 degrees within 15 minutes. About the core, you will get to enjoy the amazing taste of the lamb mince with a special flavor of the intertwined pine nuts and green onions.
- Zapiekanka in Poland
Zapiekanka easily steals the hearts of the international diners by its creative combination between the pizza and the classic sandwich. In Poland, people are keen on having many mushrooms and onions spread all over the surface of a long bread, and then it will be baked until it is melted. It is really attractive. Furthermore, the tomato sauce is a great company embellishing the cake crust.
- Bulgogi pizza in Korea
One more special dish is favored by the Korean youths. It is called as the Korean-style shredded beef pizza that is easy to make and easy to please diners. Bulgogi Pizza is usually pan-fried with the whole pre-cooked toppings.

Being made in the home of Pizza, Italy, the Neapolitan cakes are trusted to bring a style that can not be mistaken – tradition and simplicity. The bottom of the cake is quite thick with the cheese edges while the core inside is covered with tomato sauce and the famous Italian Mozzarella cheese. However, this amazing simplicity surprisingly brings us a high-grade pizza.

Mid Week Tease: I fell for the wrong guy… #MWTease
Hi everyone,
Welcome back to Mid Week Tease! I'm switching up the book I'm sharing from now, since I had a new release yesterday – Unconventional. So from one quirky book to another 😉
From the very second I laid eyes on him, it was clear he was unconventional. If I'm being truthful, I thought he looked like a complete nutter—someone I'd probably cross the road to avoid. Even in the daytime. He was tall and skinny, with a shock of black hair—still apparent under his hairnet—and pale skin. Kind of like Edward Scissorhands. Only—mercifully—without the scissors for hands part. A vine-looking tattoo began at his left wrist, worked its way up his arm, then snaked beneath the sleeve of his T-shirt…to who knew where?
Oddly, even though I mentally kicked myself for thinking it, I found myself wanting to find out. Did it stop at his upper arm, his shoulder? Did it continue over his back, his chest, twine its way around a pectoral, sneaking in toward the nipple? Or even farther south, perhaps?
Even if you took Mr. Unusual out of the equation, there was nothing normal about the situation I found myself in. After all, what recent graduate of law school finds themselves volunteering in a soup kitchen? A recent graduate who lost her head—and heart—over a bad boy, that's who.
Most people seem to think that those who study law are smart. Super smart, actually. There's a reason for that—folks who study law are smart. If they pass all the exams, that is. And I did—with distinction. Which makes me clever on paper, I suppose, but apparently lacking in common sense, or perhaps I just have severely poor judgment. Or both.
However you want to look at it, I fucked up. Big time. I fell for the wrong guy, trusted him, and ended up caught up in something that got me arrested.

Gmat Awa Essay
Here are some common problems that our head tutor, Isaac, notices when he grades AWA essays as the tiebreaker for our Brightest Minds contest:
- Understanding that the prompt does not ask for an opinion. The strongest essay writers focused on unpacking the author's argument and using alternate situations, examples, and counterexamples to show why his or her logic was flawed.
- Leaving time to proofread essays for spelling or grammatical errors. While essay graders shouldn't really be marking down for spelling, if essay clarity is compromised, your score will suffer.
Here are two short sample responses to our scholarship competition's essay prompt, followed by a breakdown of the differences between the successful response and the one that falls flat.
Prompt: "The following appeared in a memorandum written by the Dean of Sciences at Wilmark University to employment offices nationwide:
In the past year, it has been observed that the incidence of anxiety episodes in psychiatric patients falls dramatically after dance therapy classes. Therefore, and as based on such findings, the opening of further and significantly higher enrolment in dance therapy courses would be wise, as would the rise in music therapy courses. Consequently, the findings also mean there will be further employment in the field of therapy, which can only mean more money for the university and great success rates in pairing students with fantastic jobs in the field of therapy.
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion."
Response 1
The Dean of Sciences at Wilmark University is clearly enamored by dance therapy's potential benefits for psychiatric patients. However, the Dean has also taken a micro-level view on dance therapy, ignoring the fact that each psychiatric patient is unique and requires programming tailored specifically to his or her needs. Therefore, the sweeping assumptions the Dean makes about the effectiveness of dance therapy cannot be applied to all psychiatric patients.
As I alluded to earlier, each psychiatric patient requires a customized program tailored to his or her needs. While patients suffering from PTSD or recovering from childhood trauma might respond well to dance therapy, patients who are introverted in nature may be resistant to dance therapy and overwhelmed by the experience. Additionally, decreased incidences of anxiety episodes is a finding that only applies to individuals suffering from anxiety in the first place.To assume that all patients will respond well to dance therapy is an error the Dean of Sciences simply cannot make.
Furthermore, the success of one method of therapy does not guarantee an increase in the demand of that form of therapy, let alone any consequential increase in university enrollment by aspiring dance therapists to meet such anticipated demand. The population of individuals suffering from conditions that dance therapy benefits may never even become aware that this method of therapy works in the first place. And even if demand for dance or music therapy increased, how can the Dean know that Wilmark will be the school whose enrollment will benefit from such demand?
Based solely on the findings of one study, it is not reasonable for the Dean of Sciences to jump into such a direct cause-and-effect assumption of the profitability of bolstering of the university's dance therapy curriculum. If the Dean had also taken additional studies into account, demonstrated specific instances in which dance therapy is and is not successful, and found a demonstrable link between the success of one therapy method and Wilmark University's ability to generate increased revenue by offering more classes on such therapy methods, then he or she might have been more persuasive. Until the Dean does so, the assumptions he or she made are simply not enough to support the argument for additional dance therapy classes.
Response 2
The assumption that dance therapy has a direct correlation to a decrease in anxiety episodes in psychiatric patients is extremely flawed. The Dean at Wilmark University has made a number of assumptions that do not stand up on their own, nor do they support the argument that opening further dance therapy courses would be a good idea.
Firstly, the Dean's findings are flimsy and clearly are not substantial enough to support this argument for one simple reason: he does not include the findings in this memorandum. If the findings were as groundbreaking as he alludes to, there would be no need to keep them from the reader. Therefore, it is impossible to conclude that the findings are a good enough reason to move forward with adding additional dance therapy classes, which will only cost the university money it likely does not have.
Secondly, I don't think dance therapists make enough money. I would never get a degree in a career that doesn't promise a lot of money, and I don't think other potential therapists would either. If nobody wants to be a dance therapist, nobody will enroll in these new dance therapy classes.
Therefore, the Dean of the university has made a costly and faulty assumption that adding dance therapy classes will benefit the university. Not only are there no specific findings, but even if the findings were true I don't think anyone will want to be a dance therapist.
Both sample responses are shorter than your official GMAT essay should be, but the first response is by far the strongest. You'll find that, although the author of Response 1 should add another supporting paragraph or two, the writer has done a better job of backing up their argument by countering the logic of numerous assumptions implicit in the Dean's original proposal. By questioning the applicability of the study's findings to a larger population and any implied consequences on demand of therapy in general or at the university in particular, the author has successfully used multiple logic-based arguments to write their essay.
On the other hand, the author of Response 2 attempts to refute the Dean's assumptions by relying on opinions and assumptions of their own. Rather than addressing the logic behind the Dean's cause-and-effect argument, this essayist leaned on less relevant details (whether or not the Dean's findings were laid out in the prompt) and their own career preferences. We can't emphasize enough how common it is for essayists to slip into opinion-based arguments in these essays, and how important it is to avoid this common pitfall.
Keep practicing your writing skills, but also make sure to supplement your study plan with outside reading (The Economist is a great place to start) that illustrates the composition of effective logic-based arguments. Additionally, review these AWA essay tips.
Happy studying!

See an ideal GMAT AWA essay example.
In the previous post, I demonstrated some brainstorming and identified six objections to this argument. I then selected three of them as the basis of the essay that follows. This is one way to go about writing the essay.
Introductory paragraph:
In a memo to the president of Omega University, the music department chair argued that the university should expand the music-therapy program. This argument is substantially flawed. The argument presents inconclusive information, offering dubious support, and from this draws unreasonably far-reaching conclusions.
First main paragraph:
The evidence cited involves ambiguous language. For example, the argument asserts that the symptoms of mental illness are "less pronounced" after a group music-therapy sessions. Of course, calm music will have a soothing effect on almost anyone, but can this be considered a legitimate treatment for the mentally ill? Presumably, the benefits of music therapy are neither as powerful nor as long-lasting as those of appropriate medications. Simply by making the claim that symptoms are "less pronounced", the author has failed to indicate whether the improvement is significant enough to merit any serious investment in this new field. The music chair also cites an "increase" in job openings in the field of music-therapy. This is another unfortunately indefinite word. The word "increase" might mean that music-therapy is a wildly burgeoning new field, although nothing suggests that this is the case. Alternately, the word "increase" might denote, for example, a rise from 60 jobs nationwide last year to 70 this year — admittedly, this is an increase, although a change across such small numbers hardly would be large enough to warrant any major modifications in a university's programs.
Second main paragraph:
Having presented such questionable evidence, the music chair then draws a grand sweeping conclusion: the graduates of the university's program will have "no trouble" finding jobs in this field. Quite rare is the combination of a vibrant professional field and a thriving economy, such that applicants entering this field have "no trouble" finding a job. Even if there is a plethora of jobs in this mental health niche, how do we know that these jobs would go to recent graduates of Omega University? Surely practitioners with years of experience, or recent graduates of more prestigious universities, would be preferred for such positions. Even interpreting the questionable evidence in its most optimistic light, we hardly can expect that this one field will explode with employment possibilities for Omega graduates. This conclusion is far too strong, and therefore the request for funding is not well justified.
Third main paragraph:
This music-therapy program is already in existence, so presumably it has already had graduates leave Omega University in pursuit of employment. Evidence that all these recent music-therapy graduates found robust job possibilities waiting for them would enormously strengthen the argument. Curiously, the music-director is silent on this issue. If we knew the employment statistics of these recent graduates, these numbers would help us to evaluate this argument better.
Fourth main paragraph:
The music chair draws another untenably strong conclusion when he asserts that expanding this program will "help improve the financial status of Omega University." When alumni of a university make millions or even billions, and choose to give back in substantial amounts to their alma mater, that undoubtedly strengthens the financial standing of a university. We don't know the specifics of jobs in music-therapy, but their salaries most certainly do not rival those of hedge fund managers; mental health services are clearly not a field in which practitioners routinely amass remarkable wealth. Even if the graduates of music-therapy had relatively good job prospects, which is doubtful, having a few more alumni with middle-class to upper-middle class incomes, who, if they choose, may make some modest contributions to, say, the university's annual fund — this is not an impactful issue in the overall balance sheet of university's total budget. The claim that these alumni will substantially improve the "financial status" of the university is hyperbolically overstated.
Concluding paragraph:
This argument is neither sound nor persuasive. The music director has failed to convey any compelling reasons for Omega University to expand the music-therapy program in his department.
This is a particular long and thorough sample essay, but it gives you an idea of what it takes to get a 6. In line with the AWA directions, notice that I organized, developed, and expressed my ideas about the argument presented. I provided relevant supporting reasons and examples — i.e. I didn't just say, "This is bad," but I provided a cogent and reasoned critique. Finally, I "controlled" the elements of standard written English: that is to say, (a) I made no spelling or grammar mistakes, (b) I used a wide vocabulary (not repeating any single word too much), and (c) I varied the sentence structure (employing subordinate clauses, parallelism, infinitive phrases, participial phrases, substantive clauses, etc.) As you write practice essays, check yourself afterwards: is every grammatical form commonly tests on GMAT Sentence Correction present in your practice essay? That is an excellent standard to use.
How important is it to get a 6 for the AWA? How important is the AWA section on the GMAT? As I discuss in that post, the AWA is clearly the least important part of the GMAT, less important than either IR or Quantitative or Verbal, but you can't neglect it entirely. This sample essay should give you an idea of the standard for which to strive on the Analytical Writing Analysis.

So What Do the Experts Really Do?
Signature Scaffolding Solutions – So What Do The Professionals Do?
To find high quality, dependable scaffolding services, there are several things you can examine in advance in order to reduce the possibility of selecting someone that in fact makes your problems even more difficult.
So what exactly is it that the successful Scaffolders do?
Scaffolding is a highly skilled profession that's constantly in high demand, because of the fact that every individual and company at some time or another will certainly need scaffolding services. The leading duty of a scaffolder is to supply you, with service that is of high professional quality, something that lacks in a large number of other scaffolding businesses. They also provide a range of other support that are way too many to name here.
While your friend from work might know an individual, that knows some other person who has some degree of know-how, for any severe scaffolding situation, this is a major NO-NO, and has to be completely avoided. Your affordable scaffolding Pakiri Auckland Rodney should have a successful track record with shimmering reviews. utilising an unlicensed person to assist you is a massive danger that is simply not worth taking.
The second worst thing you could do is open the Yellow Pages and pick the first company providing the services you're looking for. This also includes selecting the scaffolding business that provides the least expensive rates without doing any research in advance.
Bear in mind, going too low-cost in the beginning will ultimately cost you in the end.
Picking a professional to be your scaffolding service is vital.
Qualifications vs Practical Experience
Searching for the scaffolding specialists which contain sufficient certifications is logical and does have some merit, by far the most essential quality that makes efficient Scaffolders is a large amount of in-field experience. This is often normally acquired from apprenticeships and internships and needs to be something you carefully inspect well before you start making your ultimate choice. You will discover that the premier Scaffolders have qualifications as well as lots of years of working knowledge.
You should not be scared to get a hold of us and ask about the experience of the scaffolder in question before you decide to call them out. The more years on the job is clearly much better.
Selecting a qualified affordable scaffolding Pakiri with a whole lot of experience will certainly alleviate the danger and place you at ease.
What Should You Expect From Your Chosen Service Provider?
What Need to Expect From Your Chosen Affordable Scaffolding Pakiri Rodney Auckland
With regards to any industry of business, you should certainly expect your selected scaffolder to be prompt, polite and personable right from the start. Anything less than that, you would be wise to contemplate turning them away and preparing a complaint or posting a negative evaluation online about them.
If their work behaviour is less than professional, it's most likely that their work will be lacking as well. The very first perception could mean everything and will tell you a large amount about the quality of work they are going to provide. It is very important to expect the appropriate things out of your Scaffolders.
BEWARE: Very Lower Scaffolding Rates Can Possibly Equal to Low Quality Service
In many cases, but not always, (there are rare exceptions), the one quoting the cheapest prices will most likely not be the affordable scaffolding in Pakiri who will be able to carry out the work to a standard that can make it through the most important test.
Many will like you to assume you'll be saving a ton of cash employing them, but the aggravating truth is you'll be having to get the assistance of some other affordable scaffolding Pakiri not too long after.
This could be due to the scaffolder doing the very least to give the overall appearance of a job well done, knowing completely that they did not do it right to start with. The cheapest services may possibly hurry to get the job done and have employed a much a lot less trained staff. Suspicion really should be heightened when that cost of the affordable scaffolding is too good to be genuine.
The Importance of Selecting Someone With References
The Importance of Choosing Scaffolders with References
Any time you're looking for your new affordable scaffolding Pakiri Rodney, talk with family and friends for references. They'll have previously had someone in for comparable work, and will know who you can depend on, plus who to steer clear of. In the event your family and friends haven't previously used anyone, seek advice from co-workers and other individuals you count on within your area for some work references.
Someone might look as if they are fully aware what they are doing, but the simple fact is, you cannot just take their word for it. You need to be able to connect with recent consumers to get a realistic idea of exactly what you should expect from this service.
Whenever a scaffolding provider provides a number of personal references, make sure to utilise it. Get in touch with the individuals from the list, and find out about the standard of the work, how closely the scaffolder came to their initial estimate, and whether or not the work was completed regarding the promised time frame.
Before deciding on your affordable scaffolding Pakiri Auckland, make sure to know the things you are looking for. It's hard for for the scaffolder to give a cost quotation over the phone if they've not looked at your scaffolding need themselves. It'll be even more hard if you fail to make it clear what your precise requirements are. Setting up a face-to-face conversation or meeting to talk about the problems is going to be the efficient course of action, and will make sure both parties have the same information.
For those who are trying to pick the most ideal affordable scaffolding, it all begins with proper communication between you and the service.

10 Qualities of an Emotionally Healthy Wedding: The Couples's Version
"We Just Want a Quick Ceremony"
Clergy On Call "Baby Page"!
Answer the following question to subscribe to our newsletter
Saturday, September 19, 2009
Tobay Beach is another little known location for a wedding - but it's a hidden treasure. If you can manage to find it (I had trouble even after I was in the parking lot!), you'll be surprized when you "round the bend" and discover that there is not only the expected beautiful beach, but facilities for catering and sheltered dining. There's plenty of sand, but it doesn't have to be between your toes, and if you have 3" heels on, there are no walking hazards. Anyway, on this particular day we had only amazing, beautiful weather (the kind that explains why we continue to live on Long Island), and everyone was primed to celebrate. Kristen and Rob wanted to keep it simple, and we did. Here's what they had to say about their ceremony: "Thank you so much for an amazing ceremony. We have had countless compliments regarding how intimate and sincere it was. You understood what we wanted and were the perfect choice for us. Thank you so very much." Love, Kristin and Rob

Pastor Bill serves couples planning a wedding in the Greater New York area including Long Island (Nassau County and Suffolk County), Queens, Brooklyn, New York City (Manhattan), and Westchester County. If you're thinking of using a Judge for your wedding, or a Justice of the Peace – or if you're thinking of going to city hall for your wedding – or perhaps you're working on a last minute wedding plan –in any case, Pastor Bill would love to speak with you. (Pastor Bill is also available for families that have suffered the loss of a loved one and are planning a funeral.)

Directed by: Bill Condon
Starring: Dan Stevens, Emma Watson, Ewan McGregor, Ian McKellen, Luke Evans
Stupidity: So when Belle finds out that her father is being hauled away to the insane asylum, she is in such a rush to get that she doesn't even change out of the massive yellow dress that would be really uncomfortable to ride a horse in, probably because she is in such a hurry. But earlier in the movie, the Beast shows her his magic book that allows him to teleport anywhere in the world, so why doesn't she just use that?Friso94

Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22903-2442
An exact elastic-plastic analytical solution for an arbitrarily laminated metal matrix composite tube subjected to axisymmetric thermo-mechanical and torsional loading is presented. First, exact solutions for transversely isotropic and monoclinic (off-axis) elastoplastic cylindrical shells are developed which are then reformulated in terms of the interfacial displacements as the fundamental unknowns by constructing a local stiffness matrix for the shell. Assembly of the local stiffness matrices into a global stiffness matrix in a particular manner ensures satisfaction of interfacial traction and displacement continuity conditions, as well as the external boundary conditions. Due to the lack of a general macroscopic constitutive theory for the elastic-plastic response of unidirectional metal matrix composites, the micromechanics method of cells model is employed to calculate the effective elastic-plastic properties of the individual layers used in determining the elements of the local and thus global stiffness matrices. The resulting system of equations is then solved using Mendelson's iterative method of successive elastic solutions developed for elastoplastic boundary-value problems. Part I of the paper outlines the aforementioned solution strategy. In Part II (Salzar et al., 1996) this solution strategy is first validated by comparison with available closed-form solutions as well as with results obtained using the finite-element approach. Subsequently, examples are presented that illustrate the utility of the developed solution methodology in predicting the elastic-plastic response of arbitrarily laminated metal matrix composite tubes. In particular, optimization of the response of composite tubes under internal pressure is considered through the use of functionally graded architectures.

Hagerstown City Police still hadn't determined Wednesday whether there will be a criminal investigation into complaints that vacations booked through CW Travel in Hagerstown aren't being delivered, according to Hagerstown Police Lt. Gary Spielman.
cont. from front page
Police have heard of hundreds of people, through individuals and group representatives, who claim to have paid the agency for travel arrangements that don't exist, Spielman said.
Those complaining include a Hagerstown bride-to-be who invited her wedding guests on a group cruise, a Fairplay NASCAR fan who planned a Las Vegas weekend trip around a big race and a Falling Waters, W.Va., businessman who got family members and friends to piggyback onto a Martinsburg, W.Va., travel club's cruise deal.
Based on information from the organizers of those group packages, roughly 480 group members paid more than $230,000 for trips they won't be getting.

Despite it being some time ago now, I still remember the thrill of scheduling in a visit with Kim Jaeger while in Melbourne late last year. I had followed Kim's instagram for months and marveled at the "work in progress shots" from her studio as she hand crafted one "Pot head" after another – each different and each strangely packed with character! I got the impression there was more to this project than the occasional shot on Instagram, so for her to accept my request for a visit felt like I
Prolific designers, artists and creative partners in crime; Evie Kemp and Amy Clarke. …… There isn't a single creative out there that hasn't harboured dreams of a lofty, industrial style work space where the studio dog naps in a corner and freshly painted white walls set off the rustic old wooden rafters. Yes, in fact I think we have all imagined ourselves in a space like this! What's more, while rustic modern studio's are rife in the back streets of Melbourne and dark corners of Brooklyn they are virtually impossible
From left: Hannah Kidd and Sue Bamford. …… Sculptor; Hannah Kidd has long been on my list of people to interview. I can remember seeing her work as a design student in my early twenties – her agricultural subject matter rung bells for me and whats more we both called the rural/seasonal ski town of Methven home at different times. So a few months ago I drove the grid of long straight roads of Mid Canterbury and made for the small town sitting at the foot of the shadowy Southern
From left: Will McCallum and George Wilkins in their Tauranga workshop …… Any of you with an interest in young NZ design talent will have had George and Willy "blip" on your radar over the last 18 months. It may have been for their cool swings or perhaps trestle tables. You might have spotted their hardy duffel bags or have been swept up in the international popularity of their industrial paper roller. I can assure you if you haven't seen any of these yet…you are definitely going to enjoy the
The workshop of Christchurch based lighting brand; Joska + Sons is exactly that….a space packed with tools and machinery both in use and stored, prototypes, screws, packaging, bikes, patched walls and wood with not a pot plant to be seen! 31 year old Joska Easterbrook is in the business of making exceptionally awesome lighting not curating a dreamy studio! I invite you to read the story of the long way round that Joska took to discover/uncover his passion and skill for making. Its a great one for those of you
Artist/actress/high country farm girl; Amelia Guild has those sparkly, glinty eyes that instantly captivate you. I have spent much time with her over the past few years as a close friend on many an adventure and not once did I ever see the sparkle level drop. Not once! So on my recent trip to Canterbury I finally had the opportunity to visit her with the intention of delving deeper into her story and sharing the grassroots life she has chosen with her husband and family – almost at odds with
From left: The Trestle Union – Nikolai Sorensen and Mike Grobelny in the AUT workshop. …… While I can't remember the first time I came across The Trestle Union, I do still remember the momentary thrill at finding furniture designed and made in NZ that I could actually afford! Un surprisingly, accessibility was definitely a motivating factor when two savvy product design students from AUT knocked heads and decided to give a business a whirl. Trestle Union is as fluid and forward thinking as its two young designers which meant that
Despite the raging popularity of her work across many platforms, Stanislava Pinchuk aka Miso remains humble and almost unaffected by the cult-like following she has garnered. The day I clattered up seven floors in the old lift of the Melbourne's historic Nicholas Building, Stanislava was literally unpacking into her new studio and preparing to leave for a month long stay in Tokyo the next day. Being somewhat of a groupy myself, I lapped up the bare workspace and thought that despite its sparseness – it was of course brilliant and
Ok friends, this is a biggy but such a goody. When I sat down with Austin Moncrieff on the back porch of his Byron Bay house I honestly had NO idea where his story was going to go. So many times I caught myself with raised eyebrows or a disbelieving shake of the head. This guy is one of the most motivated and diverse creative forces I have ever met. And as you can see, he has a really cool house! Enjoy x While he looks like a seaside bred
Emma Leonard is definitely in my top 5 most favourite illustrators…ever! I've followed her work for years, fawning over her well stocked Etsy store and often buying her prints for friends. I was lucky enough to briefly meet her earlier in 2013 while she was helping set up this exhibition – but despite a tonne of emails and a social media romance, it wasn't until November that I finally got to hang out with her. Big, deep, fan-girl sigh. As I'd anticipated, Emma is a super friendly, funny and easy

Thank you for the information. Now it is the task of us to comfort and convince those people who were under guns of LTTE for so long. Even though they were fooled into thinking paradise for them, Eelam was a paradise for a selected few, even though it was only for a while. Now the same elements are spending millions in their lobbying to tarnish Sri Lanka, while the people in the north barely manage to live, thanks to Sri Lankan government.
It is up to us to show our fellow Sri Lankans, what is their so called freedom fighters are up to.

U sucker
just get in to some reliable books written by any foreign writer despite sticking to the sucking liars of SL. According to excavations and manuscripts Sinhala was an anonymous language till the 11th century, and tamil is the language that is called as brahmi letters by the so called owners of Sri Lanka, sinhalese.Even the books u mentioned says that the rulers till Devanampiyatissa were Hindus.
So not to post any blog that doesn't have valid facts.
this is a kind request

You seem to have terribly been unsettled by getting to know the hash truth. The effect of it has been such that you have gone to the extent of warning me not write them anymore. And also the language you used betrays that very fact. A poor victim among the blind followers of the bogus Tamil history and the Tamil Homeland fantasy! It seems these unfortunate victims are yet to understand that the fabricated history of the Tamils is just a product of the Vellala Tamil elites from Jaffna, manufactured to meet their political goals. The half of those elite was even not born in Sri Lanka.
It is the very books written by so called foreign writers who have distorted the true history of this country resulting in disillusioned Tamils living in a 'homeland' fantasy. The Sinhala language is a direct derivation of Brahami letters. The next evolutionary stage of the Brhami letters was the early Prakrutha, which is an early from of Sinhala. Stone inscriptions are found in Brhami, early Prakrutha and Prakrutha characters of which evolution can easily been recognized. By saying that 'tamil is the language that is called as brahmi letters'proves the depth into which you have fallen in the abyss of mythical Tamil history. It is a clear indication to understand the extent to which the bogus Tamil history has poisoned and disillusioned the minds of Tamils.
The day
Tamils accept the fact that their history of them in this country does not go beyond the 16th century and the bulk of them were brought to this land as a laborers by the colonialists, the cure for their disillusionary fantasy will be found. The best case in point is the fact that the Jaffna Tamils are the descendents of the laborers brought from the South India by Portuguese and Dutch to cultivate tobacco.
The unbroken history of the Sinhalese is well documented in chronicles perfectly corroborated by the stone inscriptions and the archeological remains still being found in North Eastern part of the country in particular and other parts of the country in general. Lexicological evidences too, as described in my present post as well my previous posts, are in abundance to disapprove this fantasized Tamil history. The unfortunate truth is that the bulk of these evidences are no more as they have been destroyed or turned into Hindu Kovils in fear of exposure of the mythical history of the Tamils in Sri Lanka.

It is pretty gloomy here today in Toronto, kind of reminds me of the time I was in the UK. I have been back for over 4 years but every time I see grey clouds, it takes me right back to England. But it wasn't always gloomy, clouds have their own charm. And if you get lucky you might get some amazing shots.
This picture of the London Eye is one of my favorites. I love all the different layers in the the architecture and the light. I happened to be walking to the Buckingham palace from the Trafalgar square, when suddenly I got a little glimpse of this beautiful light on the London Eye and I pretty much ran towards it. I am so glad I did because I only had a few minutes to capture this shot! It had been a very cloudy, windy spring day, but just around sunset the clouds broke a little and sun came shining in, illuminating the whole skyline against the background of dark grey clouds. I still see evenings like this in here Canada, especially after all the thunderstorms we get in the summer, but nothing like capturing one of the most iconic features of London in this setting.
From the same evening I beleive, hustle and bustle of London. I love that city! There is so much to explore just walking around.
I am so jealous of people who get to live right on the Thames River. I would never get tired of this view
Even the light fixtures are so charming in London
You can't capture London without capturing the Big Ben, well at least the tower that holds it
Oh you know, just casually hanging at the Palace

Wealth is more than just dollars and cents. Wealth is a lifestyle as well. I recommend you start experiencing it if you haven't done so already. It's great. Whether you define yourself as "poor" or as "rich" or even anywhere in between, the wealthy lifestyle isn't beyond your reach.
If this intrigues you, then I suggest you write down what you entail as a wealthy lifestyle. Or, at least, what you think a wealthy person does, or would do. Yeah, I mean, for fun. So write it down, let it be a whole list of activities and such from the extravagant to the simple, and everything in between. Once you have about 100 or so different things on your piece of paper, continue reading.
I mean, I don't know, for some it's money that's stopping them (the "lack" of it? Or perhaps social constructs? They can't find the right people?
Ok, let's pretend it's the money that's the issue here (I'll address others in a later blog post if you tell me to in the comments section below). Lets pretend you have a budget, due to some circumstances with your business affairs, and you are launching a new product soon; you've set yourself a daily budget on what you can spend on leisure.
Next, calculate what you need to do in order to participate in these activates. You might find that some activities you can do right away, and some which require more planning and setting aside some of that daily budget for a bigger more grandeur activity such as, perhaps, traveling.
You can go biking, or skating today, and go travel tomorrow 🙂 Just remember to have fun, do the things you love, and keep a smile on your face.
Of-course, need I warn you, that this process could spark ambition in your life. If you are already having fun, and are already doing the things you love, but are looking for new adventures, then think and find out about new things that you would like to do. If you have the means to do so, then great, you have just leaped into a new realm of adventure. On the other hand, if you lack the means (time/money) now you know of the things you would like to do, so you have all the more reasons to either free up some time (read The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss) or go out there, into the world, and create something that helps humanity, for example, in order for you to live a life that you enjoy. The world is thus a happier place, you have just found purpose in your life and discovered happiness.
Happy ending?
All The Best

Indonesia's police enforcement system for IP violation is regarded as weak. See IP Komodo's earlier post here. It is worth a quick comparison with comparable ASEAN countries. The information below applies to trademark enforcement.
In the Philippines, a search warrant from a criminal court is required for a raid, which can then be executed by the Philippines National Police, or the National Bureau of Investigations (the Philippines version of the US FBI). After the raid a case is transferred to the Department of Justice for a preliminary investigation, and thereafter a trial starts. The main difficulty in this system is that the DoJ investigation can take years, and criminal trials operate by taking one day then adjourning for a month. Thus a 30 day trial takes many years to complete (average 1 day per month, with several postponements = max 10 days per year!) and so because of long delays some cases fail. IP holders complain about long storage costs for the seized evidence, and high legal costs to manage criminal prosecutions over many years.
Thailand operates criminal system for IP enforcement, relying on the police ( to apply for search warrants and conduct raids. as well as IP holder led raids there is system for MoUs to be signed under which the police have standing instructions to undertake raids. Cases are then handed over to the prosecutors for criminal trials at the International Trade and Intellectual Property Court. Public prosecutors are entitled to issue "non-prosecution orders" in the event evidence of infringement is insufficient. But in general cases are fast and prosecuted without much IP holder involvement.
Vietnam as a former centrally planned economy operates (like China) a mixed criminal and administrative system. The Economic Police take serious infringement cases involving large quantities of stock or a network of infringers, or infringing acts or products that pose a danger to consumers (for example, pharmaceutical cases). The Market Management Bureau (MMB) (under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and Departments of Industry and Commerce at provincial level) undertake raids at market level, for example, workshops of small to medium size. Both EP and MMB actions are fundamentally administrative, and only the most serious cases are referred by the EP to the Prosecutions for criminal actions. The Peoples' Committees (local government) can also issue decisions on infringement too.
Conclusions? Well in IP Komodo's view Thailand runs the most efficient system. Philippines and Indonesia vye for the most inefficient, with Vietnam's former centrally planned system being the least market based and so unwieldy. But Indonesia is a G20 country so should perhaps be the leader.
