One fall night in 1967, some friends and I, sophomores at North Texas State University, moved to the Campus Theater in the courthouse in Denton, Texas, to see the new Hollywood movie ‘Bonnie and Clyde.’ . That minor but highly popular play had its world premiere there a few days earlier, having been filmed in small towns around Denton and Dallas counties, where many of the buildings that house the original Bonnie and Clyde-robbed banks are still in existence. foot. The movie itself was a pretty slim vintage fashion show, and neither Warren Beatty nor Faye Dunaway were especially compelling as 1930s desperate Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. The glamor of the film and the romanticization of Barrow and Parker’s outlaw customs somewhat supplemented the rebellious notions of the “hippie” counterculture in vogue among many bourgeois American college students of the late 1960s.

The following weekend, while visiting my parents in Dallas, I mentioned going to see ‘Bonnie and Clyde’. My mother replied, “He used to bounce me on his knee.” “Actually ?!” I reacted. She nodded and smiled to herself. A few years later, one thing led to another and another, I got to the bottom of that rather unexpected addition to my initial experience of the notorious local couple.

Sometime during the 1980s, I discovered, after an entertaining little investigation at the Dallas Public Library, that the true history of the Barrow gang is, as is often the case, much more interesting and complex than popular myth. one-dimensional. . To be sure, the sociological undercurrents of the real story are properly regarded as important story. In the 1990s I came across a fascinating and well-crafted little book entitled “Running with Bonnie and Clyde: The Fast Ten Years of Ralph Fults” by John Neal Phillips. A chapter in this electric account of the incredibly violent experiences of various members of Barrow’s Lake Dallas Gang tells of Barrow after being released from one of his stints in prison. Having decided to try to go more or less straight ahead, he set out to find employment, hitchhiking and traveling by bus from Texas to Massachusetts. But his track record and his opportunity (this was during the Great Depression, when jobs were scarce) left him without prospects and he returned, longing for his home, to Dallas.

A few years ago, during one of my visits to the owner of Molloy Glass and Mirror, a small store on Floyd Street in Dallas, and one of the oldest businesses still in operation in Dallas, I was surprised to learn from him that for many During For years, Dallas had been something of an art glass-making hotbed for churches, commercial buildings, and homes. He looked up a Dallas phone directory of about nineteen teenagers and showed me that the company with the most listings in the directory was Dallas Art Glass Company, with about 100 employees.

During the Great Depression, at least two art glass shops, in addition to Molloy, were located on Floyd Street and adjacent Swiss Avenue. One was the United Glass and Mirror Company. After Clyde Barrow returned from the north, he was hired by that company as a delivery driver. Apparently he was well liked. He would go up to Molloy and hang out with the employees there, I was told. But at the time in Dallas, cases of criminal mischief would lead local police to round up the usual suspects. The fact that Clyde was in that category meant patrol cars on the street in front of United Glass and Mirror. After a few episodes of the resulting negative publicity, United decided to let Barrow go. That was the last time Barrow, frustrated and with little confusion, thought of a legitimate job.

Dallas art glass companies employed several immigrant artisans, most of whom were Czech or German. After my maternal grandfather immigrated to the United States from Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1913, he worked in various stained glass windows in Texas until he was able to pursue his own studio full time later. His first wife died in the early 1930s, leaving two young children. It would not have been unusual for those children to have been at their father’s workplaces, two of which were United Glass and Mirror and Molloy Glass and Mirror, where they would likely have come into contact with the future. The desperate, hardened and wanted killer Clyde Barrow.

Today’s cosmopolitan and postmodern international crossroads known as Dallas, Texas has preserved a bit of its old city. One comes across familiar places, often unchanged in the past, in older parts of the city. The building that was once the gas station / cafeteria that Barrow’s father, with whom Barrow was very close, built in front of the small log house he had built earlier, is located on Singleton Avenue in the West Dallas area. The small duplex in front of which Barrow shot and mortally wounded a sheriff’s deputy is still nearby on North Winnetka Avenue. The house that Bonnie Parker lived in with her mother is on Douglass Street, south of Wycliff Avenue, near Maple Avenue. And the building that housed a café where Parker was a popular waitress before meeting Barrow now houses a grind shop, near the Baylor Hospital complex in Old East Dallas, a few blocks from those art glass shops on Floyd Street and Swiss Avenue, and a nice easy bike ride from the chair where I sit writing.

I regularly pass by the buildings associated with Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, much like the buildings in the Dallas neighborhoods where I spent my childhood. It is not difficult for me to imagine the affable future, fierce outlaw, in his honest worker clothes, throwing my mother, then a very small girl, on her knees, leaving her, strangely, with a pleasant memory.

Any of us who have watched a lot of golf on television (or who have experience playing the Tiger Woods PGA Tour series video games) are certainly familiar with the Island Green on TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course. But there is so much more to this Jacksonville suburban golf course than three seventeen. Opened in 1980, the course was not originally popular with professional golfers, but tweaks by designer Pete Dye shortly after made the course much more playable.

The course is still considered one of the most difficult in the world. It was the first of several tournament players’ clubs (TPCs) built at that time. The TPC is a chain of public and private golf courses operated by the PGA Tour with the aim that these courses host tourist events. In this way, the PGA Tour can avoid sharing event proceeds with outside course owners.

But the first was TPC on the Sawgrass Stadium field. The Players Championship is now played there annually, and due to its prestige and the biggest prize of any golf tournament, some consider it the “fifth biggest.” The best thing about this course, as well as the other TPC courses across the country, is that the regular golfer can play them.

When we think of the Stadium Course at Sawgrass, the thing that will probably spring to mind right away is the Island Green. It’s technically a peninsula, but there’s not much to shoot except a 78-foot-wide green maybe half as deep. Starting at about 132 yards for the pros, it’s a decent-sized target, but it’s one of the most talked about holes on the PGA tour. Add in a bit of wind which can be unpredictable at times with virtually no rescue area, and you have the attention of all golfers. In 2007, a record fifty balls landed in the water at this hole in one round. And fans are loving it, as NBC puts eleven cameras on him during the tournament.

Perhaps the most famous and bizarre incident in hole history occurred at the 1998 Players’ Championship. Golfer Steve Lowery successfully hit his ball on the green. A seagull swooped down, and after a few tries, it finally picked up a ball in its beak, carried it over the water, and dropped it. If you’re curious how this is dictated, under Rule 18-1 of the Rules of Golf, a bird is considered an “outside agency”, and considering that Lawry’s shot was from off the green, he was allowed to place the ball in the place where the bird ordered it.

The short answers are: it depends; and probably. Why? Because the students, the circumstances and the results of the bars have changed in the last decade.

Traditionally, due to the general difficulty of state bar exams, most law school graduates had opted to take some type of external bar preparation course. Despite the rigors of law school and the emphasis on legal analysis, culminating in essay writing exams, state bar exams were found to be difficult to pass.

Within the traditional framework, law schools had emphasized the IRAC precepts (Problem, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion) and, therefore, concentrated their classes on these precepts to culminate in training students to be highly skilled at tackling , analyze and write essay exams. For test takers, this left a gap: the dreaded multiple-choice questions called MBE.

As a result, business firms targeted law graduates with bar prep courses. Although most companies advertised general bar prep courses, the courses emphasized how students could approach and answer MBE questions. Obviously, this was the logical extension for these bar prep courses, as those students were already well immersed in essay writing since their three years in law school.

When it comes to teaching how to master the MBE, some of these companies were good and some were not so good. However, thanks to these courses, many students were able to successfully navigate the swamp of those dreaded MBE questions. To this day, those companies that continue to offer external bar prep courses have remained true to their original academic / business plan. Therefore, the emphasis of your course remains on the MBE questions.

During the last decade, circumstances have changed. First, as widely reported in such publications as the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the ABA Journal, and others, enrollment in law schools has steadily declined. As a result, many law schools have lowered entry requirements. This change, along with other academic and social changes, has helped create a different environment for today’s law student.

As a consequence, bar approval rates in many states (eg, California, New York, and several others) have steadily declined. As reported in the JD Journal in October 2015, “Law schools have lowered their admissions standards. Fewer people are applying to law school. To maintain enrollment, schools are admitting students with low scores. on the LSAT that they would have previously rejected. 2014, the schools saw the result of their action: the bar’s pass rates were the lowest in decades. “

The trend for lower approval rates continues, and law school deans are concerned for a couple of reasons. First, a high published pass rate is a marketing incentive to attract new students to your school, and if it is declining, students will look elsewhere. Additionally, for those ABA-accredited schools, lurks a proposal to increase a school’s accreditation standards to maintain a 75 percent pass rate, a rate not many schools currently enjoy.

In California, the second-largest state in terms of bar examiners, the deans of law schools have a solution. They have joined and proposed to the California Bar Association to reduce the California Bar approval cut-off line from its current 1440 to between 1350 and 1390. This proposal has created a great deal of controversy and consequently the Bar Association commissioned several studies and conducted opinion polls of lawyers. , students and the general public.

A detailed report was produced and recently referred to the State Supreme Court for decision. In the report, the State Bar recommends keeping the pass cutoff line at 1440 and commissioning more studies, while the law school deans’ committee recommends lowering the pass cutoff line. Looking at public opinion polls, more than 80 percent of current attorneys support keeping the current cutoff line or increasing it, while nearly 55 percent of the general public agrees, and only about 20 percent of current law students want to maintain the current cutoff line.

In addition, the Board of Trustees of the California Bar Association has recently declared “public protection” as one of the Bar Association’s most important missions, and “public protection” was also at the forefront of the debate on reducing the line. cut to pass the bar exam. . Given the “public protection” issue, coupled with the recommendation of the State Bar and public opinion polls, I will take a chance and predict that the California Supreme Court will not lower the cutoff line.

However, an interesting fact emerged from all of this analysis: In general, the decline in the bar’s pass rate is not due to lower scores on the MBE. In fact, the pass rate for MBE questions alone has been relatively stable for the past twenty years. The lower bar pass rates were found to be due to a higher fail rate on the essay questions.

This revelation started the blame game. As discussed in recently published periodicals, some authors attribute poor essay writing to low standards in law schools. Others point fingers at the general knowledge and writing skills of “those Millennials.” And others say it is a combination of both.

Frankly, I don’t see any positive results from expending energy on finger pointing. It would be better to invest the time in finding a solution. From my point of view, the best solution would be one that solves the lower bar pass rate problem and preserves “public protection”.

Upon examining the problem a little more closely, what has come to light are four factors that are causing the lower essay scores: students have difficulty following the call of the question; they are not detecting a sufficient number of problems in the fact patterns; they have problems applying the law to the facts and analyzing them; and his grammar and spelling is not up to par.

The last factor, some call it the “millennial” factor. This is because texting, tweets, social media, and emails are the primary way of writing today. As a result, good composition writing is fast becoming a lost art, especially the ability to logically and critically express what is at stake. As for the first three factors, they are competencies that were traditionally developed in law school.

The combination of these events has demonstrated the need for remedial tutoring in law school, but more importantly, the law school prep courses are better and different that stand on their own, separate from the academic work of law school and provide all the skills necessary to pass the bar exam. This is a solution that would satisfy both the lower approval rate and the public protection aspects of the problem.

As a result, a new company has recently emerged to address these new issues. The company, Side-Bar, has introduced a law school recall program and a bar exam preparation program based on new principals never before offered to the law student. Each of the programs is independent and all-inclusive. They are 100% online, self-paced, and contain no lectures to attend or listen to.

According to the company, its programs include new methods for learning and retaining the law, while teaching new methods to master: writing essay exams; performance tests; and MBE’s multiple-choice questions, which include never-before-published tips.

Its bar prep course, in addition to having a comprehensive MBE program, delves into the art of essay writing and guides students through a step-by-step process broken down by subject, providing them with the skills necessary to write essays. quality and finally approve. the bar exam.

Thailand is known for its democratic legal system, which includes four courts, such as the Constitutional, the Military, the Administrative, and the Court of Justice. Anyone wishing to become a lawyer in Thailand is not required to pass the bar exam, as an aspiring lawyer would in the United States. Furthermore, this type of profession is not grouped into solicitors and lawyers. Thai lawyers must obtain a license from the Law Society of Thailand and must meet various other requirements before they can become legal professionals.

Qualifications for Thai Lawyers

People who intend to become a lawyer in Thailand must meet several requirements. For example, they must be at least 20 years old and a citizen of Thailand. In addition, applicants must have an associate degree, a law degree, or a certificate equivalent to these degrees. The degree obtained must be obtained from an institution accredited and recognized by the Law Society of Thailand.

Aside from these credentials, candidates must possess remarkable character and a sense of professionalism. Those who have been jailed, bankrupt, or known for their delinquent morals are prohibited from pursuing a career in law. In addition, applicants must be in excellent health, as any mental or physical illness can affect their competence as a legal professional. Lastly, applicants who are currently government officials cannot become lawyers in Thailand.

Regulations and requirements

According to the Law of Lawyers of Thailand, no one can become a legal professional in the country without a law degree, a license to practice and a registration. The Law Society operates to educate, promote, and supervise all of its members. Those wishing to become members of the Society must meet specific educational and credential requirements. Educational requirements include a bachelor’s or associate’s degree in law. An alternative to the LL.B is a certificate in law equivalent to these university degrees. Also, applicants must be active members of the TBA (Thai Bar Association).

How to Become a Registered and Licensed Thai Lawyer

Individuals can register and obtain their license after they have completed professional training in the legal profession, as well as ethics and essential principles of defense. The Legal Practice Institute of the Law Society of Thailand offers training courses for lawyers. The course is divided into two semesters or trimesters. During the first trimester, candidates learn more about professional ethics and theory of case conduct. Courses can be completed in a minimum of 90 hours. On the other hand, the second quarter is dedicated to practical training. Candidates must have experience working in a registered law firm, which they must do for at least 6 months.

After each period, candidates must take an exam. Then they can now proceed to their application for membership in the Law Society of Thailand when they have completed their training courses. However, some candidates may be exempt from taking the training course if they have become law firm apprentices for more than a year. An exemption is also granted to those who have passed the test specified by the Board of Governors of the Law Society.

Like any device that involves the use of your penis, care must be taken when using the product and heed the manufacturer’s precautions, if any. The problem is not that all manufacturers go to the trouble to properly notify you of any hazards associated with their product, as some people have discovered.

A penis pump should be provided with instructions on the proper use of the product, so be sure to follow them carefully to avoid unavoidable damage to the penis.

A manufacturer of penis pumps must be aware of the extent of damage that their product can affect a man’s penis, and is obligated to disclose any precautions at the same time without revealing too much to discourage the customer from buying.

They are not actually that dangerous, only when used incorrectly. So what is meant by incorrectly? If you’ve ever used one, you may have experienced it before and now know to be careful not to let it happen again. People using the penis pump for the first time will inflate their penis completely by sucking all the air out of the tube, which is good as you now have an extra large erection. The problem only becomes apparent after excessive use.

If you use a penis pump, you can force your penis to have an erection, in addition you can increase the size of your erection much larger and fatter than your normal erection size. This is where the problem lies because once you pump your penis to its maximum capacity beyond the size of your normal erection, and if you leave it for too long, or continue pumping as much as you can, you will be left with a sore penis!

Using a penis pump to get an erection is not the same as a natural erection. A penis can remain swollen for a few days after overuse and may feel sore before it heals naturally. This was caused by overuse and is a common reported side effect. The important word here is overkill, as only overuse causes bruising side effects. If you use it excessively the first time and experience a swollen looking penis it should go away after a few days, if not then a doctor visit would be recommended.

So if you want to try one of these devices of which are freely available and abound even on Amazon or adult toy web stores, the correct way to use it is not to pump too hard for too long or to leave your penis in the pump. . been for too long. You can pump as much as you want even until all the veins in the penis start to stick out, which could be dangerous if left too long as the pressure could rupture some of the smaller veins in your penis. A good quality penis pump should have safety certificates that guarantee quick release of air if too much pressure builds up. However, most pumps will not be powerful enough to allow the types of pressure that will cause serious damage.

It would also not be a good idea to use a penis pump if you have recently had surgery or had your penis sutured where the pressure from the pump could break the stitches and reopen any vulnerable wounds on the penis.

If you are unsure, you should consult a doctor to advise against the use of a penis pump. In reality, many doctors will gladly recommend a penis pump if you have erectile dysfunction issues, which is why penis pumps are still popular products recommended by doctors if you have trouble getting erections. As you will see, it is very easy to achieve an erection using a penis pump.

The other day, I was quite mad at the cable company because they had published a list of all their channels in a brochure, but even before I received the brochure, all those channels had changed, along with the numbers. When I spoke to someone at the company about this, they noted that in the contract (somewhere in the 10 pages of fine print) they had the right to change channels and programming at any time, for any reason, without any notification. Well that’s great, except they are charging quite a bit of money every month and frankly the service is inferior.

No, I’m not surprised that cable networks now have practically a monopoly, once you sign up it’s hard to leave, and even if you go with a different cable network, they are probably just as bad. Now I realize there are consumers trying to take advantage of them, steal their programming, or try to circumvent their system, but that doesn’t mean that every one of your customers is trying to get one out fast and yet look at how we’re treated. In any case, after going through all the channels one by one, I created my own list, table of contents, of each of the 1000 stations.

In fact, I was surprised by how many music stations there were, almost 50 in total, and those were the ones that were in English, there were also cable radio stations in Spanish. With so many options, one has to believe that this is interfering with satellite radio, therefore a great competitor. No, you can’t carry your cable box in your car, so satellite radio is still needed, but it prevents satellite radio from entering the domestic market because it would be a duplication of the combined services that people already have at home. if they already take cable television service. The question is; “Is this really affecting the satellite radio customer base?”

Well, consider this, as a consumer the other day I was in an electronics store, and I noticed that there was a satellite radio device that was portable. In other words, you can have your satellite radio in your car or take this device with you from your car to the beach or to the office. Since it was one of those little miniature stereos, you could also take it home, leave it by a window, have a good reception, and listen all day. However, why would you want to do the latter if you could just turn on the TV, put it on a, say; “Rock station of the 80s” and listen all day?

It does not cost any extra to have these cable TV radio stations, they come bundled, as part of the basic service. Meanwhile, subscribing to satellite radio costs $ 9.99 per month. The duplication and clustering of cable television networks has prevented satellite radio from entering its scope and, in some respects, is diluting its market share, at least that’s how I see it.

That doesn’t mean that cable TV network stations don’t have to deal with other things like online radio, online TV, or many of the other challenges that lie ahead, they do, and it will be a challenge for them to follow. go ahead. In fact, I hope you will please consider all of this and think about it.

John Marshall School of Law

John Marshall Law School has a famous name, an aggressive curriculum, and stays at the forefront of legal matters. This combination benefits the future attorneys who grace these sacred halls. With over 85% of graduates passing the bar and having a job within nine months, this school does well. The training facility not only features a strong curriculum and practice structure, but also embraces technology, tackles innovative problems, and customizes the training process.

Five Reasons John Marshall Law School Graduates Pass the Exam and Find Employment

Name

John Marshall was an influential Chief Justice of the United States in the 19th century, responsible for making the Supreme Court an equal branch of government alongside the legislative and executive branches. Under his more than 30 years of leadership, the federal judicial system developed policies to ignore laws contrary to the Constitution. Although the school that bears his name was established in 1899, it was accredited in 1941 by the American Bar Association.

Strong core

Lawyers need skills in writing, research, and oral argument to be successful. Smart students know that these skills lead to high-paying jobs and profitable careers. Because John Marshall’s courses are kept small, each student develops the necessary communication and research skills. In fact, the US News and World Report ranks this school in the top tier of legal schools in the United States for 2012.

Practice

The curriculum is an important part of education; however, honors programs provide students the opportunity to excel. Five different programs are offered: John Marshall Law Review, Review of Intellectual Property, Journal of Computer and Information Law, Moot Court Honors Program, and Judicial Defense and Dispute Resolution Honors Program. With more than 50 different student organizations promoting social awareness, community service, legal discussion, and social activities, students gain significant hands-on, real-life experience.

Technology

Although the libraries are huge, all students are trained in modern technology, including iPods. After all, these wonderful devices allow attorneys to quickly research, write, and assemble complex legal documents. This saves time and effort while giving students benefits that they can use.

Innovative problems

This diverse law school is not afraid to tackle modern issues like immigration, international business and trade law, tax, and veteran issues. Since education is an expensive process, students should invest only where they get the best return for their money. John Marshall Law School offers cutting-edge classes in intellectual property law, information technology, employee benefits, and privacy law, allowing graduates to choose exciting and expanding legal fields.

Personalized training

Students are in control as the same classes are offered both day and night. Anyone can wait full or part time. Additionally, these quasi-attorneys can specialize and receive a certificate in that field or earn joint degrees.

The cost difference between a mediocre education and a quality and diversity education is small. However, a John Marshall Law School degree is worth more. Although it is easier for these graduates to pass the bar and find employment, the real benefit is in the strong basic education, practice, type of curriculum, and technology. These attorneys know the law and are paid handsomely for their skills.

This professional is a family attorney who specializes in child custody cases, helping to protect children’s rights. To become a child custody attorney, you would have to follow the same path as any attorney but specialize in child custody cases. In most states, you would need a bachelor’s degree, such as a bachelor’s degree, before you can go to law school. When obtaining your law degree, your bachelor’s degree does not need to be in a law-related subject. If you have already chosen your career path, there are some pre-law specializations. For example, when you specialize in custody law, you could specialize in social work, philosophy, or psychology. Any of these specialties will help provide you with a unique education that will help you advance on your path to becoming a child custody attorney.

When you get your bachelor’s degree, be sure to keep a high GPA as this can help you get into this type of school. On the way to becoming a child custody attorney, applying to such a school is often stressful and rigorous, but it is a necessary step in becoming an attorney. When completing all the required application letters, take your time to ensure that you are doing them correctly. If anyone has a deadline to get past it, try to do it first so you get there on time. During the law school application process, you will need letters of recommendation, so try to find professionals you know or train teachers to write letters of recommendation for you.

To enter law school, most require applicants to submit standardized test scores that focus on general law. One of those tests is the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). This is a very difficult test to pass, but it is necessary to enter law school. Before taking the exam, experts recommend that you study for this exam for at least six to twelve months to pass, get a good grade, and possible admission to law school. When you attend law school, you must tailor elective courses to relate to family law subjects. While in law school and during your undergraduate studies, you should seek assistant or internships at a family law firm. This additional training can provide you with a wealth of information and can also help you network professionally. Once you have completed law school, you will need to sit and pass your state bar exam or the state where you will be practicing as a child custody attorney.

Although he specializes in child custody cases, you will start out as a family attorney. It can take several years to gain experience and become an established child custody attorney.

What is the reason that most people do not have a prenuptial agreement?

A recent publication of an article by an Olin fellow at Harvard Law School explains that about 5 percent of married people have such an agreement, although the facts are that more than 50 percent of marriages end in divorce. This Harvard Law graduate explains what she has discovered.

What inspired you to research the facts about prenuptial agreements?

The facts are that more than half of marriages end and these once-loving couples end up in divorce court, and a microscopic 5 percent have prenuptial agreements in place. Most prospective partners after deliberation decide that if they bring the possibility of a prenup there, it suggests they are planning a divorce, he concluded. She would investigate why couples do not protect themselves with prenuptial agreements.

What is the reason that couples contemplating marriage do not have a prenuptial agreement?

The top two reasons that prevent people from asking their potential partner to sign a prenuptial agreement.

First of all, as stated above, most couples feel that the fatality is suggesting a prenuptial agreement to their potential partner. Rumor has it that when Jennifer Lopez asked Ben Affleck to agree to a prenuptial agreement, Ben Affleck ended the relationship.

The other reason is that most couples believe that even though statistics show that more than half of all marriages end in divorce, it will never happen to them. They believe that their love will overcome any possible obstacles that may occur in their relationship and that their foundation is inflexible and more stable than most people, and divorce will never happen.

Is it true that the courts have declared that prenuptial agreements are not absolutely contrary to promoting the stability of marriage?

The reality is that a prenuptial agreement can create a situation where the marriage will be more difficult to end than easier to end. You can design a prenuptial agreement that states that divorce cannot happen unless a sham has occurred, such as being unfaithful or whatever you decide is important as a couple. And, conversely, most states accept no-fault divorce.

Is it a fact that when prenuptial agreements have additional instruction in addition to asset divisions and state-specific provisions when a divorce can occur, they are upheld in court?

To my understanding, this type of prenuptial agreement has not been proven in divorce court. In recent years, every state insisted that a spouse show guilt before a divorce could be granted. But there are states that accept an agreement for a “covenant marriage” where one spouse will be required to prove fault before filing for divorce. It is unlikely that any court will limit a couple’s prenuptial agreement because it has requirements for divorce.

Are divorced children more likely to have a prenuptial agreement before getting married?

As surprising as it may sound, the answer is no! As stated above, the reasons why couples do not have a prenuptial agreement are not logical, but emotional. Neither wants to create a situation that predicts doom. There are also other important factors to mention. 1) If one of the partners has wealth, he is likely to insist on a prenuptial agreement. If you are married, it is unlikely that you will request a prenuptial agreement. 3) Women will generally not insist on a prenuptial agreement.

Would you suggest that prenuptial agreements are mandatory?

It is important to understand why a prenuptial agreement is a win-win situation. After looking at the previous research, I would recommend a prenuptial agreement. A mandatory prenuptial agreement would be beneficial for couples. It would eliminate that awkward discussion of bringing the matter up because everyone would have to treat it as a matter of law, even if they feel like they will never get divorced. Also, practice can eliminate unrealistic optimism of what the future may bring. Since everyone who gets married will have a prenuptial agreement, this will create a smoother transition to marriage. If this law were in effect, maybe Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck would still be together?

NRIs often hear stories about investors hitting the jackpot buying and selling property at home. Very often, they also hear about someone who has lost money on a project that never materialized or where problems arose that made the property impossible to sell.

Eager to bag a slice of the pie, the NRI begins researching how to invest in the Indian market from abroad and which city to begin with, only to get lost in conflicting sources.

It is a fact that the Indian economy is expanding rapidly; in fact, the World Bank projects that India will overtake China as the world’s fastest-growing large economy by 2017. For those looking to become real estate investors who want to participate in India’s growth, choosing which part of the country to buy can be a challenge. After all, the economy may be making big strides at the national level, but what forces are at work locally? In other words, which city or cities can promise the most benefits?

We have compiled a list of the best cities for real estate investment. Some of these are large metropolitan areas, known to be the hub of many industries. Others are smaller and closer cities that show a lot of promise in their population growth rates and per capita income, among other factors. Read on to identify which city may be the best to invest in real estate.

1. Bangalore

Thanks to its combination of rapidly growing population, high paying jobs and low real estate prices, the center of India’s IT industry has also become the center of its real estate investment. JLL recently published its annual ranking of the world’s most dynamic cities, in its City Momentum Index, stating that Bangalore is the fastest changing city on the planet.

By some estimates, 40 percent of India’s IT industry is based in this metropolis. These changes have made it the most attractive place in India for real estate investment. A recent survey pointed to Bangalore as the top real estate opportunity in Asia-Pacific.

All of this makes Bangalore the most desirable place for real estate investment in India.

2. Pune

Pune has shown rapid population growth over the past decade with a growth rate of over 30% during this period. The average white collar salary in this city is second only to Bangalore. Currently, property in this city is affordable compared to other cities, which shows that it is a good time to invest.

The city also benefits from being close to Mumbai. It also offers opportunities in the education, IT, automotive and engineering sectors. This is another example of a previously slow city that has seen rapid growth and recent change.

Good weather throughout the year is an added benefit for NRI investors here. A new international airport and increased metro connectivity will bring even more growth and positive change to the city in the coming years.

3. Chennai

Head to the capital of Tamil Nadu to find even more real estate investment opportunities. Chennai is also in the leading group, with a high population growth rate (30%) and reasonably high average wages. This industrial city also has many companies offering financial and IT services.

The government has made road connectivity a priority here in recent years. This has helped the city and its surroundings develop faster and attract new business opportunities.

A looming monorail and elevated rail line is sure to further help with this connectivity.

4. Visakhapatnam

In terms of population and area, Visakhapatnam (Vizag) is one of the largest ports in India. Because of this, it is considered the commercial center of Andhra Pradesh.

A rapidly growing IT industry coupled with good infrastructure makes this city a desirable location for real estate investment.

With the first phase of the Vizag Metro Rail scheduled to be completed in December 2018, transportation options will also open soon in this city.

5. Mumbai

As a growing city with modern urban development, Mumbai is a good real estate investment option for a non-resident Indian who cares about lifestyle.

Considered the financial capital of India, this city is hard to beat when comparing the level of infrastructure with other cities. Aim for a premium property in an upscale neighborhood to get the best return on your investment. There are several upscale hotspots in Mumbai that put you close to high-end retail stores and restaurants.

As the financial center of India, Mumbai also attracts many investors and corporate companies, which provides many job opportunities. If you want an internationally competitive work culture, this is the city.

Mumbai has excellent educational facilities, including international schools. Political stability and easy resale options are additional incentives to make Mumbai your real estate investment location.

6. Bhiwadi

As the third largest industrial center in India, Bhiwadi is a manufacturing hub for some major companies. Companies like Gillette and Honda guarantee many local job opportunities.

Real estate projects are also cheaper here than in other cities. The affordability right now makes this a great long-term real estate investment option.

The Indian government has proposed projects in Bhiwadi, including a new high-speed public transport. This will make this city even more desirable for years to come.

7. Kochi

Kochi, the commercial center of Kerala, has seen new real estate prospects thanks to recent changes.

An improvement of the seaport and the privatization of the local international airport brought new business prospects.

Many NRIs are already investing in Kochi. In fact, only about 30% of real estate investors in Kochi are local.

Part of what makes this city so attractive is its recent infrastructure developments. New planned developments include the Vallarpadam International Container Transshipment Terminal, which will expand investment opportunities for this port city.

An “oceanarium” or marine research facility that doubles as a tourist attraction is another proposed project that is sure to bring even more opportunities to the area.

8. Bhubaneswar and Cuttack

These twin cities in East India are growing centers of education and IT. This drives real estate development in the area.

The real estate market is well regulated here, as most of the available land is still owned by the government.

Plans for new commercial projects, a wider highway and the new Kalinga Nagar Industrial Complex add to the reasons for targeting Bhubaneswar and Cuttack for real estate investment.

9. Coimbatore

The second largest city in Tamil Nadu has a stable industry revolving around textiles and spinning.

Engineering, information technology and manufacturing have joined the industry in Coimbatore in recent years, providing economic growth and increased job opportunities.

The planned expansion of the airport will increase the ease with which travelers and business opportunities can enter the city. And a proposed bus rapid transit system provides additional options for ground transportation.
