China — the latest guidance from the Supreme People's Court
Three years after the Third Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Certain Issues regarding the Law Applicable to Labor Dispute Cases Hearing was published in September 2010, the Supreme People's Court issued its Fourth Interpretation on the same topic on 1 February 2013. Taking effect on 1 February 2013, the interpretation addresses important issues such as non-competition and its related economic compensation, verbal amendments to an employment contract, consultation with the trade union upon termination, and foreign nationals' employment in China.
The PRC Employment Contract Law (the "ECL") is silent on the parties' rights and remedies where:
- They have failed to stipulate on the compensation for non-competition obligations in the employment contract or a confidentiality agreement, or
- The employer has failed to pay non-compete compensation or intends to cancel a noncompetition agreement.
The Interpretation seeks to fill this gap. Under Article 6 of the Interpretation, where an employer and its employee have reached an agreement on post-employment non-competition restriction, but fails to mention payment of compensation for such non-competition restriction, if the employee has fulfilled the non-competition obligation, he or she is entitled to a monthly compensation by the employer based on 30% of the average monthly salary over the 12 months preceding the termination or expiration of employment…

Is Hayden Panettiere Secretly Engaged?
The plot of ABC's 'Nashville' is thickening, but this time it's off-screen! Is Hayden Panettiere, star of the hit television show, secretly engaged to her Ukranian boyfriend, Wladimir Klitschko?
Brantley Gilbert and Chris Young Set for 'Nashville' Cameos
DVR alert! Brantley Gilbert and Chris Young are ready for their close-ups. That is, their small screen close-ups.
Hayden Panettiere Involved in Nashville Car Accident
'Nashville' star Hayden Panettiere was involved in a two-car accident earlier this month, caused by her alleged failure to stop at a red light and the other driver's improper merge. No one was seriously hurt, but both the BMW and a Geo Prism were towed from the scene.
Kimberly Williams-Paisley Signs on for More Episodes of 'Nashville'
Big Machine Records to Release 'Music of Nashville' Soundtrack
If you can't get enough of the music on ABC's 'Nashville,' you're in luck. Powerhouse country label Big Machine Records -- home of Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw -- will release an 11-song soundtrack for the popular new drama on Dec. 11.
Carrie Underwood Insists Nashville Isn't as Scandalous as the Show Lets On
'Nashville' has given some much-deserved press to Music City since its premiere earlier this year, but Carrie Underwood insists that the drama in the tension-filled plot lines of the new ABC series are not really an accurate representation of the country music industry.
ABC Awards 'Nashville' Full Season Order, Ups Scripts For Others
Whoever said America's country music kick didn't have staying power? While we wait for ABC to shore up its big-ticket freshman dramas 'Last Resort' and '666 Park Avenue,' the network has gone ahead with upping country drama sensation 'Nashville' to a full-season order. Meanwhile, the network has offered an additional display of faith in Tim Allen's 'Last Man Standing,' and even rookie Reba McEntire sitcom 'Malibu Country,' but how long until a final decision is made?
ABC's 'Nashville' Premiere Rings True
Hollywood has a long and sorry history of getting Nashville -- and country music -- wrong. From deliberately corny shows like 'Hee Haw,' to unintentional comedies like 'Country Strong,' Music City has always come off in movies and television as some sort of backwater town full of ignorant, cowboy-hat-wearing hayseeds, instead of a cosmopolitan cultural center that serves as home to the largest collective of top-quality musicians, engineers, producers and songwriters that has ever existed.
Kimberly Williams-Paisley Lands a Recurring Role on 'Nashville'
It looks like there's a little bit more authenticity coming to ABC's 'Nashville.' Former 'According to Jim' star Kimberly Williams-Paisley has joined the show in a role that will recur over a multi-episode arc. The performer not only lives in Nashville, but knows the ropes, as she is also married to country star Brad Paisley.
'Nashville' Picked Up by ABC, Show Trailer Hits the Web
Not too long ago, we reported that ABC staked a claim in Nashville to film the pilot for a new TV drama by the same name. Starring Connie Britton (the mainstay guidance counselor and coach's wife on 'Friday Night Lights'), 'Heroes' beauty Hayden Panettiere and a handful of other experienced stars, this show about the behind-the-scenes drama in country music is sure to be a hit. Just check out the 'Nashville' trailer (below) and you'll understand why.

Set in Chicago, the 1993 blockbuster thriller used this four-story beauty that oozes as much sex appeal as the hunted Dr. Richard Kimble. Just listed for $3.65 million.farmhouse, hen house, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him."
It's cult. It's quotable. And still a fun ride. In the summer of '93, Tommy Lee Jones as the bellowing Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard, painted a red target on the back of surgeon Dr. Richard Kimble ( Harrison Ford) with that screen grenade, launching one of film's greatest manhunts. Behind the scenes of The Fugitive, an adaptation of the 1960s popular television series, is the set of Kimble's grand Chicago spread, for sale (again) and deserving some fawning and gushing.

Everybody is talking about it – President Obama's announcement at the end of last week that existing overtime regulations be "modernized" and "streamlined" – but what exactly does this mean? The answer is, only time will tell.
In the "Presidential Memorandum" entitled "Updating and Modernizing Overtime Regulations," the White House states that "regulations regarding exemptions from the Act's overtime requirement, executive, administrative, and professional employees (often referred to as "white collar" exemptions) have not kept up with our modern economy." The memorandum, however, fails to identify any specific deficiencies with the current regulations pertaining to these exemptions. Nevertheless, the White House proceeded to issue the following vague directive to the U.S. Department of Labor: "I hereby direct you to propose revisions to modernize and streamline the existing overtime regulations. In doing so, you shall consider how the regulations could be revised to update existing protections consistent with the intent of the Act; address the changing nature of the workplace; and simplify the regulations to make them easier for both workers and businesses to understand and apply."
Although it is unclear what revisions the DOL will propose, it is crystal clear that the White House views employee exemptions as too broad and that the DOL will be taking steps to limit the application of such exemptions. But the changes being contemplated, if any, will not and cannot happen overnight. Indeed, before any amendments to the regulations can be implemented, the DOL must first propose rule changes and afford an opportunity for public comment.
In the meantime, however, we recommend that employers take proactive steps to audit and review their current classification of exempt employees.

Web Letter
Barack Obama is the most important person whose conflicted/conflicting views on another type of war, a type the US is experiencing right now, have been of no interest to the media. Unless I'm mistaken, those views of Obama's have been especially of no interest to that member of the media whose opinions (and methods of examination and inquiry, should we have gotten that far) we would've taken especially seriously--because he, that expert, qualifies to be a Harold Willens Peace Fellow at The Nation Institute.
If Sarah Palin can be seen to represent a jobs program (a miniature Einzatsgruppen, if you will) for journalists who are certain that they're working for the left, then Barack Obama's sudden active interest in nukes (or in anything else) can be a jobs program, too, and one designed with the very same job applicants in mind.
What reason has the reader to believe that Obama will do any better with nukes and such questions as whether and when they should be deployed than he did with the question of whatever is the name of the standard-issue weapon that most US soldiers were using when Obama changed his mind about the right use of that weapon? If the difference between the two types of weapons is one of time (nuclear weapons being able to kill more of us faster than conventional weapons), the truth about us all is that we'd all be dead if Obama, when he was running for the presidency, hadn't found reason to change his mind about whether war with Iraq was in our interest.
But there's this: Obama, like everyone else, possesses no evidence in favor of our having gone to war against Iraq. And there's this, too: given enough time, conventional war can take as many lives as a nuclear war would. Ask any Jew.
We're being asked (not to "trust," for we already made it plain, in the last election, that we do trust, but) to laud someone whose best quality is that he makes it up (about himself) as he goes along. Obama, though, is neither the person who disseminates that information (about himself) nor the one who causes it to remain where it lodges after it is disseminated.
What kind of commander-in-chief was Barack Obama during the fight for healthcare? Victory for most of us was a one-payer system, with the minority of us--that small body of folks who've proven themselves able to get most of the money--not wrongly being made to contribute the most. And what did we get instead: the same system we had before, but one that now demands of each of us that we be satisfied with being only as healthy as any item on any of 3,000 pages of specially-made-for-it earmarks allows us to be.
Nobody who is serving in the US military today can say what I say here without his or her rightly being accused of attempting to commit the gravest of crimes. But each of them knows, and would be willing to admit, that he or she is the only good thing existing between you and the enemy. I say that they are being ignored, their lives and their deaths taken for granted--in a way that they never could have been ignored or taken for granted by John McCain, because he had been one of them.
This is the point in the debate at which every would-be liberal, if he isn't a Jonathan Schell, cries out in shock--shock, I tell you--at the image of all those innocent Iraqis who by now would've been wiped out by John McCain. (If you're a Schell and in the employ of an Obama, you switch the subject to one of weaponry.) I say to all of you who would win a debate in such a way that if you don't care any more than that about your own, it doesn't matter to me what you claim to care about others, or how numerous those others can be said (or even proven) to be.

ClassicsOnline Home » YAN: The White-Haired Girl (Suite)
The White-Haired Girl was originally a five-act opera. In
the early 1960s, it was arranged into a ballet. It was based on the musical
score of the ballet that the present suite was made in 1974 for the Japanese
tour of the China Central Philharmonic Society. This suite was the creation of
a group of composers, with Qu Wei doing the actual writing. By summarising the
main story of the ballet, the suite depicts the different destinies of two
generations of Chinese peasants, who are respectively represented by Xi'er, the
white-haired girl, and Yang Bailao, her father, in the new and the old societies,
and extols the historical change for Chinese peasants from misery to a new
life. The suite is made up of six movements.
MOVEMENT 1 Unrestrained Rage
Based on
the music of the prelude of the ballet, the first movement of the suite depicts
the unrestrained rage of vast numbers of poor Chinese peasants under the cruel
oppression and exploitation of feudal landlords.
MOVEMENT 2 North Wind Blowing
On New Year's
Eve 1935, in Yanggezhuang, a village in Hebei Province, Xi'er, daughter of a poor
peasant, is anxiously waiting for Yang Bailao, her father, who has been away to
avoid a creditor, to come home to spend the New Year together with her.
MOVEMENT 3 Red Head-Band
Yang Bailao
returns home at last. He has brought his daughter a red hair-band as a New Year
present. The music expresses their brief happiness as Yang Bailao binds Xi'er's
hair with the head-band.
MOVEMENT 4 Profound Hatred
Shiren, a wicked landlord, with his henchmen, comes to Yang's to press for
payment of the debt. He even attempts to abduct Xi'r as payment of the debt. Exasperated,
Yang Bailao attacks him, but is beaten to death, while his daughter is taken
away. On hearing the news, Wang Dachun, Xi'er's fiance, hastens to rescue her,
but he is outnumbered and finally fails. He indignantly leads a group of young
villagers to join the revolutionary army led by the Chinese Communist Party.
MOVEMENT 5 Escape from Huang's
Xi'er can
no longer bear the inhuman physical and mental suffering at Huang's. With the
help of Aunt Zhang, a maid, she escapes from Huang's into the remote mountain
MOVEMENT 6 Celebration of Emancipation
Three years
have passed. Wang Dachun leads a troop of the Communist-led Eighth Route Army back into
Yanggezhuang Village. He manages to rescue from a
mountain cave Xi'er, whose hair has turned white because of the extremely harsh
living conditions in the mountain forest. Wang mobilises the peasants to expose
and criticize Huang Shiren's evil deeds, avenging the oppressed peasants.
Singing and dancing, the peasants joyfully celebrate their emancipation.
The Monument to the People's Heros is a symphonic poem composed by Qu
Wei in 1960 in sonata form. It describes the people's thoughts when they are
standing in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes in Tian An Men Square,
Beijing, looking with reverence at the reliefs carved on the monument base. The
work gives a summary description of work the martyrs who sacrificed themselves
in the revolutionary struggle over the past century and of their lighting careers.
The work begins with a moderately long introduction. The grave Adagio, the
exposition and repetition of the theme are entrusted to the lower strings. The
deep melody expresses the mood of the people when they mourn the dead heroes,
recalling the heroes' achievements in solemn respect. The primary theme of the
exposition is in march style. Given in canon by the first violins and the
bassoon, the theme depicts the scene of the revolutionary struggle advancing,
like the waves of the Yangtze River and
portrays the images of the heroes who stepped into the breach as another fell.
The secondary theme, derived from folk-tunes popular in north Shaanxi
and Shanxi is
played by the first horn and the cello. It expresses the lofty ideal of the heroes
and their love for the motherland and the people. The development section,
which describes the military lives of the heroes, tonality and dynamics. In the
culmination the trumpet allows shifts of tones and the trombone forcefully play
a melodic fragment of the secondary theme tragic colouring. The whole orchestra
comes to a sudden halt except for the soul-stirring, sustained sound of the
percussion. Progressively the sound dies away, symbolizing the heroes giving
their lives gloriously. The episode in the latter part of the development
section is a thrilling elegy, the mourning of comrades in arms for the dead
heroes. The recapitulation section brings back the simplified first group in
combination with the second. From the recollection back to reality, the section
expresses the people's respect for the heroes and their excitement. In the
coda, the musical image of the primary theme changes its function from the
description of the heroes' character to the depiction of celebration. The
brilliant sound of the brass in a broad rhythm against the sextuplets of the
strings and the tremolo of the woodwind, Tian An Men Square, where, in the solemn
ode and the gun salute, huge crowds of the people liberated cheer for their own
victory and with the most ardent emotion paying their respect to the martyrs: "Eternal
glory to the people's heroes!"
THE FlVE-FINGER MOUNTAIN CAPRICCIO
The Five-Finger Mountains
are the main mountains on Hainan Island, the second largest island of China.
In 1988, the Hainan Administrative Area subordinate to Guangdong
Province was upgraded into a province
to fit the needs of China's
reform and open policy. In celebration of the foundation of Hainan Province,
the Five-Finger Mountains Capriccio
is based on folk-tunes popular among the Li people, an ethnic minority living
on Hainan Island. It consists of sonorous mountain
songs, deeply lyrical sections and joyful dances, with Song of the Five-Finger Mountains running through the whole piece.
At the end the music develops into a solemn ode, which presents the splendid
prospects of the development of the precious island.
The Chinese
composer, Qu Wei was born in Changzhou,
Jiangsu, in 1917. In 1933 he was
admitted to the Normal Department of the Shanghai Xinhua School of Arts,
majoring in music and fine arts. From 1940 to 1945 he worked as a teacher in
the Music Department of the Yan'an Lu Xun School of Arts. Later he successfully
worked as Dean of the Music Department of the Northeast China Lu Xun School of Arts
and as a composer for film studios. From 1955 to 1959 he studied in the
Composition Department of Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory. After returning to China he began
to work as a composer with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. His important works
include the opera The White Haired Girl
(in collaboration with Ma Ke, Zhang Lu and others), the symphonic poem The Monument to the People's Heroes,
Fantasia of the Red Guards on the Hong Lake and White-Haired Girl Suite.
The Shanghai Philharmonic
Orchestra is among the most distinguished ensembles of its kind in China. It was
established in 1952 as the East China Music Troupe, originally under the
direction of the well-known composer He Luting, who was followed by Huang Yijun
and Situ Han. The present artistic director is Cao Peng. Over the course of
some fifty years the orchestra has given over three thousand concerts, in addition
to its work in broadcasting, television and film studios and its many
recordings for international release.
One of the most
distinguished conductors in China,
Cao Peng was born in Jiangyin,
Jiangsu, in 1925. In 1946 he
entered the Arts Department of Shandong University and in 1950 was appointed
principal conductor of both the Shanghai Film Studio Orchestra and the Beijing
Film Studio Orchestra. In 1955 he moved to the then Soviet Union,
entering the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory to study under the conductor Leo
Ginsburg. After his return to China in 1961 Cao Peng was appointed resident
conductor of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and is now artistic director and
principal conductor of the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as serving
as music advisor and resident conductor of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and
music director and principal conductor of the Shanghai Chamber Orchestra.

nerability to accidents and possible attack, oil-supply disruptions, and other national security issues. We concluded as follows:
The nation's electric grid is subject to periodic failures because of transmission congestion and the lack of adequate reserve capacity. These failures are considered an external effect, as individual consumers of electricity do not take into account the impact of their consumption on aggregate load. The associated and possibly significant damages of grid failure underscore the importance of carefully analyzing the costs and benefits of investing in a modernized grid—one that takes advantage of new smart technology and that is better able to handle intermittent renewable-power sources.
The external costs of accidents at energy facilities are largely taken into account by their owners and, at least in the case of our nation's oil and gas transmission networks, are of negligible magnitude per barrel of oil or thousand cubic feet of gas shipped.
Because the United States is such a large consumer of oil, policies to reduce domestic demand can also reduce the world oil price, thereby benefiting the nation through lower prices on the remaining oil it imports. Government action may thus be a desirable countervailing force to monopoly or cartel-producer power. However, the committee does not consider this influence of a large single buyer (known as monopsony power) to be a benefit that is external to the market price of oil. It was therefore deemed to be outside the scope of this report.
Although sharp and unexpected increases in oil prices adversely affect the U.S. economy, the macroeconomic disruptions they cause do not fall into the category of external effects and damages. Estimates in the literature of the macroeconomic costs of disruptions and adjustments range from $2 to $8 per barrel.
Dependence on imported oil has well-recognized implications for foreign policy, and although we find that some of the effects can be viewed as external costs, it is currently impossible to quantify them. For example, the role of the military in safeguarding foreign supplies of oil is often identified as a relevant factor. However, the energy-related reasons for a military presence in certain areas of the world cannot readily be disentangled from the nonenergy-related reasons. Moreover, much of the military cost is likely to be fixed in nature. For example, even a 20% reduction in oil consumption, we believe, would probably have little impact on the strategic positioning of U.S. military forces throughout the world.
Nuclear waste raises important security issues and poses tough policy challenges. The extent to which associated external effects exist is hard to assess, and even when identified they are very difficult to quantify. Thus, although we do not present numerical values in this report, we recognize the importance of studying these issues further.

Tuesday Tips – Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley
Essay Tips for the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley.
Haas has continued with the unusual format of asking several short answer questions and two longer required essays. The short answers are quite short, at only 250 words they are about the length of one of the three accomplishments you will outline for HBS. This challenge is an opportunity to provide a very concise and specific example for each, and to demonstrate several different aspects of your personality.
As Haas asks for your career goals last, the admissions committee will be getting to know you as a person before they understand what you are planning to do with your future. Make sure your career goals aren't a huge surprise at the end, and that they logically flow from your attitude, personality and experiences.
Haas values leadership, teamwork and management potential as much as any other MBA program, yet specifically calls out innovation and creativity in essay 3. If you are a proactive, creative and innovative person this will be a great example for you to shine. While most of the new essay questions are quite similar to last year's, there is a replacement for question 1, which was a mistake essay last year. This year you are being asked to describe what you are most passionate about, and why. It's a good way to start the set of essays and should reflect a big picture passion in your life that may be reflected throughout the set of essays.
Short Answer:1. What are you most passionate about? Why? (250 word maximum)
Similar to what matters most, and why, this question seeks to get at your core values. What do you wake up in the middle of the night thinking about? (You may want to keep a pencil by your bed to get your creative thoughts flowing!) What common threads have been woven throughout your life, whether altruistic, artistic or personal?
Whatever your passion is, make sure you can draw a conclusion about why you are passionate, and preferably you are able to weave your passion through this entire set of essays.
2. Tell us about your most significant accomplishment. (250 word maximum)
Your accomplishment can be big or small, but it should be significant to you. While you have limited space, this is an opportunity to demonstrate what matters to you and to showcase one of your proudest moments.
While you are asked only about the accomplishment, the best essays will use this limited space to demonstrate clearly what the accomplishment was (be specific!) as well as commenting upon the significance of the accomplishment.
3. At Haas, we value innovation and creativity. Describe a time when you created positive change in a group or an organization. (250 word maximum)
Your own innovative and creative efforts can shine in this essay. This is an ideal place to demonstrate fit with Haas. Even if you are not someone who constantly strives for a new way of doing things, you likely have an experience where you either innovated upon a process or creatively solved a problem. This is likely to be at work, though can certainly be a significant leadership position you have held in an extracurricular organization. The key aspect of this question is to concisely describe what you did, and to elucidate what the impact on the group or organization was.
4. What steps have you taken to learn about the Berkeley MBA program, and what factors have influenced your decision to apply? (250 word maximum)
This is another great opportunity to demonstrate your fit and enthusiasm for the Haas MBA program. Basic research will certainly include a visit to the website and perusal of the course catalog. To really demonstrate fit you will benefit from visiting campus, attending an informational session or connecting with alumni or current students. The personal touch is often the most helpful, and will give you an opportunity to really understand how you can personally be connected to the school.
Required Essays:
Give us an example of a situation in which you displayed leadership. (500 word maximum)
Both required essays are the same as they were last year. In this essay you will want to think about a specific leadership experience and what you did, said, felt and accomplished. Leadership can be expressed in many ways. Perhaps you lead a team of people at work, or in a volunteer capacity. If you do not have a formal leadership role you might have led a project or contributed as a strong leader from a team perspective. Whichever type of leadership experience you had, make sure to provide specifics of the situation. Strong results always stand out!
What are your post-MBA short-term and long-term career goals? How do your professional experiences relate to these goals? How will an MBA from Berkeley help you achieve these specific career goals? (1000 word maximum)
This is a fairly typical career goals essay that asks for both short- and long-term goals and the background that led you to this juncture in your career. This year it will be especially important to logically connect your background and your future, as schools will be looking for candidates who can be successful in a challenging job market.
Be specific about why Haas is the right program to pursue your goals as well. Make sure you have determined exactly what courses make sense for your career goals and the programs and clubs that you will participate in to reach your personal and professional goals.
Optional Essays:
(Optional) Please feel free to provide a statement concerning any information you would like to add to your application that you haven't addressed elsewhere. (500 word maximum)
This optional essay can be used for any weakness you would like to address, or simply as an opportunity to end with some additional information that will help you stand out from the application pool. If there is an aspect of your background that was not illustrated in previous questions this can be a great opportunity.
If you have a weakness you would like to address here, focus on specifics. Describe what happened, why it is not representative of your potential, and provide specific examples of how you have performed better in your life since. Explanations and not excuses are always the best path.

Haas School of Business short answer essays are both an opportunity and a challenge. At 250 words, they make it challenging to communicate the range of your personal qualities and skills, yet the questions provide the opportunity for variety in what you communicate. Because of the brevity, you will want to be extremely specific and concise with your examples.
The last two essays, on leadership and career goals, offer more space to express yourself while demonstrating the emphasis the program places on well articulated career goals and leadership qualities.
The numerous essays required for the Haas Business School application allow you to be strategic in the topics you choose. Because your career goals essay is last, you will introduce your values and personal qualities first. Choose your examples carefully to show your breadth of experience and interests, both professionally and outside of work.
Short Answer:
1. If you could change one thing you've done in your life, what would it be, and how would you do it differently? (250 word maximum)
This question has elements of the standard "mistake" essay, which requires the applicant to describe and reflect on a misstep. As in a mistake essay, you will want to describe the event you would like to change, and reflect on why and how you would change it. This question also invites further introspection, and allows you to discuss a turning point in your life. There is an opportunity here to show a moment when you matured, changed your perspective, or decided to take a specific path in life.
2. Tell us about your most significant accomplishment. (250 word maximum)
This is a great opportunity to showcase an impressive accomplishment in your life, preferably one with a team or leadership component. You have very little space to describe the accomplishment, and will still want to describe your thought process and results, which will require discipline. The question does not limit you to professional accomplishments, and you have the opportunity to choose a significant accomplishment from an outside activity that is meaningful to you.
3. At the Haas School of Business, we value innovation and creativity. Describe an innovative solution you have created to address a specific challenge. (250 word maximum)
This question both addresses your "fit" with Haas (do you value innovation and creativity?) and allows the adcom to see how you work and think. Describe the challenge you needed to address very briefly, and then discuss the innovative solution. Your thought process throughout should be illustrated, and you may need to explain why your solution was considered innovative by yourself and/or others. If an innovative or creative idea doesn't come immediately to mind, think about a time when you have approached a challenge differently from others, even if the situation itself does not immediately seem innovative.
4. What steps have you taken to learn about the Haas School of Business program, and what factors have influenced your decision to apply? (250 word maximum)
This is a straightforward inquiry into your interest in and fit with the Haas School of Business program. Because some applicants use Haas as a backup to Stanford or other programs, you will want to be thorough and specific in demonstrating your knowledge of the program. Going beyond basic research by visiting campus, speaking with students and alumni or even reading informal blogs can show your level of interest in the program. It is also important to describe the impact of your encounters with the Haas community on your decision to apply.
Required Essays:
1. Give us an example of a situation in which you displayed leadership. (500 word maximum)
Leadership is an important quality to all MBA programs, and the length of this essay compared to the short answers highlights its importance to Haas. When choosing an example, a professional situation is ideal, although you will want to consider whether you have made a greater leadership impact in a volunteer situation. Leadership can be demonstrated in many ways, and you did not have to be the official leaders in the situation. Think of a time when you influenced a group of people, when others followed your lead, and when you made a solid impact. Describe the details of the situation, along with your thoughts and actions. Focus on the lessons learned as well, to show that leadership is an ongoing part of your life.
2. What are your short-term and long-term career goals? How do your professional experiences relate to these goals? Why do you want an MBA from Berkeley at this point in your career? (1000 word maximum)
This is a standard career goals essay that most MBA programs require. In this essay, it will be important to describe your short-term and long-term goals, and also provide professional context for the goals in your past experience. Your MBA from Berkeley should fit in as a natural bridge between your past and future in this essay. Your short-term goals should be specific and realistic as a new MBA graduate. Your long-term goals will lead from the short-term goals and MBA, and will reveal what you value in life and your career. The long-term goals can be a bit more visionary, but should still be specific and considered.
As you research the Haas Business School community, some of the insights gained from alumni and applicants could help get the creative juices flowing!

As with the other essay tips we've presented, the most important advice is be yourself! Show your personality, values, and humor.
Short Answer:
1) If you could have dinner with one individual in the past, present, or future, who would it be and why? (250 word maximum)
This is a good opportunity to articulate what is important to you. Think about what you care about, what you are curious about, how you would like to impact the world, what you want to learn. Don't dedicate the whole essay to talking about that you want to meet. Make sure this essay is still about you. You can show what is important to you and reveal who you are through your answer.
2) Tell us about your most significant accomplishment. (250 word maximum)
With this question, show that you set goals and reach them and also reveal what is important to you. You could choose a professional event, community service experiences (the more recent the better), or even personal hardships you have overcome. Be sure to balance professional and personal examples across your collection of essays. Most importantly, set up the accomplishment succinctly and focus on WHY you view this event as an accomplishment.
3) At the Haas School of Business, we value innovation and creativity. Describe an innovative solution you have created to address a specific challenge. (250 word maximum)
Again, pay attention to how many professional and personal examples you are providing across your essays. If you used a community service or personal examples for the accomplishment essay, then consider a professional example for this one. The Haas School of Business wants to hear what you thought and did in the face of a challenge. Don't just say that your solution was innovation, explain why it was a different approach and how you got the idea to do that. In other words, SHOW instead of tell.
4) What steps have you taken to learn about the Haas School of Business and what factors have influenced your decision to apply? (250 word maximum)
This question requires some pre-writing preparation. If you don't have time to visit the Haas School of Business, then try to find ways to speak with students or alums. Maybe there's an information session in your area. You can search your undergraduate school database for Haas Business School alums and contact them via email to hear about their experiences. But don't just list out what you did to learn about the Haas School of Business. Articulate how you were affected by what students or alums said or what you read. Relate your own value system to what the Haas Business School values. Reveal what is important to you and how you'll find that at Haas.
Required Essays:
1) Give us an example of a situation in which you displayed leadership. (500 word maximum)
The Haas School of Business has worded this so that you can think outside of the box, meaning you don't need to write about work. Consider volunteer or even personal experiences that have required resilience, vision, creativity, and achievement. Think about when you have led a group of people and demonstrate your ability to motivate a group and make things happen. As with the other essays, set up the experience quickly (500 words is short) and focus on your actions and reflection (lessons learned).
2) What are your short-term and long-term career goals? How do your professional experiences relate to these goals? Why do you want an MBA from Berkeley at this point in your career? (1000 word maximum)
This is the standard why MBA question. There are a few questions embedded in this question and you must hit on each of them and budget your words.
What are your short-term and long-term career goals?
Your career goals should in some way reflect what is important to you (this does not mean they are one and the same, but that there is some correlation). By specifically asking for your short-term and long-term plans, the Haas Business School wants to see concrete, specific goals. Show that you have a realistic but ambitious plan, and explain why your goals are meaningful to you. Be sure to lay out short term and long term plans.
How do your professional experiences relate to these goals? Note that they are asking specifically how your career background has informed your goals for the future. They do not want a list of your experiences or even a colorful description of these experiences. They want to you to reflect on how past experience connects to your future plans. You may have a fairly linear career path with obvious links between past and future plans. In which case, articulate what you have enjoyed and learned. Or you may be desiring a career change. In this case, explain what you have learned (stay positive) and your thought process to get to your current goals.
Why do you want an MBA from the Haas School of Business at this point in your career?
This is a combination of Why the Haas Business School and Why Now. As with every school, you must be specific about how Haas will help you achieve your goals – offer up classes, clubs, etc that will help you. They want to see that you are ready to hit the ground running, that you will take advantage of the Haas Business School and make a difference in their community. Do not neglect the Why Now aspect – explain what is motivating you to apply to school. This could be woven into how your past experiences have informed your goals. Maybe you want to move up in current career, change careers, etc. Or perhaps a personal experience has inspired you to delve into a different field. Or maybe you've gained the skills you wanted after college and now feel ready to reach for your dream. Just be sure to articulate your reasoning.

2010 killing: accused police officer promoted, says slain teen's dad
- Srinagar: Adil Lateef
- Published in Summer Unrest 2010
The father of slain Kashmir teenager, who allegedly died due to torture while in the custody of Jammu and Kashmir police during civil protests in 2010, says one of the officers allegedly involved in the killing of his son has been promoted.
17-year-old, Omar Qayoom, was picked up by the police near his Soura residence in the August of 2010 while he was coming out from a Friday congregation. He was released two days later after his family procured a bail and was admitted to Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences.
Omar's father, Abdul Qayoom says Ghulam Ali, the accused policeman, was on duty when his son was 'brutally assaulted and arrested' by government forces on 20 August, 2010.
He says: "Ghulam Ali was an assistant sub inspector and he along with other policemen and forces personnel had brutally assaulted Omar."
Ali was transferred from after Omar's killing and was shifted to another police station in state's summer capital Srinagar.
"In the later months of 2013, Ali was shifted back to Soura police station, and he has been promoted to the rank of sub inspector," Omar's father says.
Qayoom, a father of three girls, says that he met senior superintendent of police, Amit Kumar, who, according to him, assured that he will transfer the accused officer. "I met the senior superintendent of police who assured me that Ali will be transferred in three days."
However, Ali has not been transferred. "I again went to meet senior superintendent of police and at that time I was told by one of the officials in his office that till 26 January he will be transferred."
The senior superintendent of police says he will look into the matter.
Omar's family is fight for justice and has moved the court. His kin have told the court that Omar died on August 25, 2010, due to 'excessive police torture'.
His medical reports suggest that he died due to 'alleged beating', and had developed internal lung injuries with acute respiratory failure.
So far no FIR has been registered into Omar's death.
"I will see who can transfer me," Qayoom quotes the accused police officer telling him. He says if the officer is not involved in the 'murder' of his son, why was he forced to move the court to get a case registered.

Together with every thing that appears to be building throughout this

However, I am sorry, because I can not give credence
to your entire plan, all be it exciting none the less. It appears to me that your opinions are actually not entirely
justified and in reality you are yourself not thoroughly confident of
the point. In any case I did enjoy reading it.
I do love the manner in which you have presented this

I was skeptical about this having read some reveiws on another site about teeth being broken so I bought 2. I am removing a front end nose to a honda accord and this drill worked pefectly. I did pre punch the spot welds and pre drill the spot welds with a small drill bit to guide the center pin and it drilled out about 30 spot welds with ease and no broken teeth. With proper care this tool should cut hundreds of holes. Well worth the price of under $5

This is a you get what you pay for kind of tool. These work but you can tell they are a cheap copy of a name brand tool. They drill out the spot welds ok, but they are not at all durable. Figure on each side of the double blade being good for 4-6 spot welds. Good thing they have a 30 day warranty.

Works Great
By Trent308
from Yreka,CA
Several dozen spot welds drilled on the first side of first bit teeth still sharp. I am finding I usually cut deeper than I want. Center punching helps greatly, but even on warped uneven spots starting slow, letting the teeth set a cut, works great. My only "ehh", I wish it was 7/16" dia. 3/8" sometimes doesnt cut around the whole weld, 1/2" dia. would be too much I think. The price is great.
For the price, this is a very good tool!

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
For the cost of this drill, it's one of the best tools I've purchased in a long time. I consider most tools at this price disposable, but these things last longer than most disposables. I've cut over 100 spot welds per cutter side with this drill and the only reason I had to trash it was that the centering pin wallows out and it gets too unstable. But for $5, you can get several and throw them out when the centering pin wears out. The cutters are still good when the pins wear out, so I hang on to them and throw the bodies away. I've used other more expensive bits and didn't get near the usage from them. I highly recommend this drill!

Great for another purpose, also
By NoCrud
from Eastern Kentucky
I saw this reviewed in a popular radio magazine (73 Magazine) by a user that got it to make isolated pads on printed circuit boards. He drilled a small pilot hole and then used a drill press or hand drill to carefully cut past the copper cladding on a printed circuit board to make insulated pads. The pads are then used as connection blocks for electronic circuits. The alternative is to glue pads to the board. This is much easier, faster and will no doubt last longer in the case where a glued-on pad comes unglued. Also, one should last a long time cutting through a thin layer of copper. It can also be used by hand but a small, battery-operated drill will work fine, according to the report in 73 Magazine.

Worked Well
By technoguy
from Vancouver, WA
Used the cutter to remove a core support on a 2006 Honda Civic that I am rebuilding. It worked as well as could be expected. It didn't break and lasted through all the welds I needed to break.
worked out PERFECT
By twinblown
from Albuquerque, NM
very easy to use, best way is center punch the weld and you will have to ad a little pressure so your tip does not wonder and once the cutting blade touches just let it cut a little before you bare down on it so you can be in the groove and just cut through the first layer and it will pull apart very easy, then grind the welds smooth and ad your piece and spot weld again.very easy I did 37 spot welds and at the 24 i had to turn the cutter around.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
This is the best quality tool HF sells. I bought 2 just in case it didn't last long. I've cut probably 50 spot welds so far with one side of the first bit, and it's still sharp. Most HF quality is iffy, but this tool is excellent.

I just drilled out 84 spot welds removing a roof skin on a 300zx. It worked like a champ. I didn't even reverse it yet. I did break 2 teeth off but that was entirely my fault from tilting to hard on a few edge welds. If you can't keep this thing from walking you need more practice drilling with hole saws.
Fantastic if used properly

I would never take the time to write a review unless i feel it deserves one. applying a nice heavy center punch to a spot weld and starting to drill prior to reaching the surface i only had one or two instances where it moved off center. I just finished 173 spot welds (yes i counted) and one side of the cutter still has plenty of life. Adjusting the screw on the back of the bit allows you to keep enough tension on the arbor so it doesn't walk away from you. I do agree there is some play in it after a lot of use, but for [$] i would expect to pay more for a tool that works as well as it does.

I never realized the importance of thought, presence, and objectivity until I began working as a Monitoring and Evaluation intern. I specifically asked for the position due to my desire to learn and experience a new side to the nonprofit sector- however, I found myself lacking motivation and inspiration within days. My head was reeling with numbers, most of which I had no connection to and no passion for. I began to doubt whether I was in the right place, doing the right thing, or just doing something wrong. The human mind can run with negative thoughts like no other, and I allowed mine to take me on a turbo-speed downward spiral. This is when I realized- I needed to find fulfillment in my mountains of Excel spreadsheets.
Although I have received training on mindfulness and touched on the concept in a few of my Northeastern courses, I have never let myself practice mindfulness for more than a few hours. In my mind, mindfulness was something I did to take myself away from the stresses and difficulties of college life for only a brief period of time. This is where I was wrong.
Mindfulness is a way of moving throughout your days, weeks, months and even years. It is the practice of active thinking, perceiving and observing without opinions. Instead of looking at mindfulness as an escape, I have started to embrace mindfulness as a new constant in my life- including in my office.
What is important about staying mindful in the office is to be completely present in every moment, keep your thoughts objective, and to practice compassion towards yourself and your coworkers. These are habits that have to be learned. Although it may be difficult at first to stay focused and attentive on seemingly minute tasks, it will soon become learned and normal. I admit that I am not yet fully mindful during my entire workday, however these practices have already allowed me to find hidden gems in my work that my previous judgements and perceptions kept me from seeing. I have also become aware of compassion towards myself, my coworkers, and my work itself. Not only has this taken some weight off of my shoulders, it has permitted meaningful connections to enter my life in unexpected places. And as much as it surprises me to say this- I think Excel and I are becoming friends.
