Leisure balance

Allow leisure activities to add balance to your life. (You may have to alter your thinking about the value of leisure.)... 

Plan B, when successful, is a special balance of leisure and work that fits the style of an individual. It is a compromise between working full time and a life of leisure. For most who choose this option, it means working 15 to 20 hours a week. If you approach 40 hours per week, you re moving into Plan D. You must design your own plan. When the proper balance is found, both work and leisure may be enhanced. 

What is your situation Would retirement be better for you under Plan B Can you design a balance that improves your leisure hours Is it important that you supplement your income to achieve the best possible retirement ... 

A serious disadvantage of automated data processing is the fact that the researcher is deprived of those hours of leisure, in which he or she plotts results in silence and seclusion on the double-log scale and this opportunity is used to think over whether or not the data evaluated in this way make sense or if they should rather be represented in another fashion. No graphical representation of test data is in the first instance more suitable than that on the double-log scale. This approach shows better and quicker whether it is suitable for the description, or if a simple-log scale would possibly fit better. Furthermore, curves on the double-log scale can easily be converted into straight lines (Y = aX b) or in simple analytical expressions of the form (Y = aX bX ). Of course, a statistical balancing of the coefficients and exponents can be left to the computer afterwards. 

Another factor that may be beneficial is physical activity, since it affects the immune function and antioxidant defenses, transit time of digestion, hormones, and body fat, and it improves energy balance. Therefore, it may have a protective effect on prostate cancer and it may even slow progression and metastasis (G14, H8, K7, 02, 03). In a 9-year follow-up study performed by Hartman et al., the relative risk for physical exercise in prostate cancer was compared with sedentary workers and found to be 0.6 (Cl = 0.4-1.0), 0.8 (Cl = 0.5-1.3), and 1.2 (Cl = 0.7-2.0) for occupational workers, walker/lifters, and heavy laborers, respectively. Except for heavy laborers, an inverse association was observed (RR = 0.7, Cl = 0.5-0.9) compared to men who were sedentary at work and leisure (H8). However, other studies indicate a positive association between vigorous exercise and prostate cancer Cl), and therefore further study is necessary to provide an activity optimum. Frequency, duration, intensity, type of exercise, and the period during a man s lifetime when exercise may be beneficial, must be investigated (02, 03). 

We must decide on a weight of contemporaneous evidence, and not have as an objective, the resolution of each and every scientific issue related to the decision. When do we have enough The National Academy of Sciences has put this problem well in observing that, "Environmental regulation is not a detached leisurely process of transferring verified results of objective scientific research into clearly indicated environmental decisions." (J ) Frankly, it often seems more like a juggling act than a balancing routine. 

Component No. 4. A new sociological context, notably with a new balance of desires and possibilities between work and leisure. To Illustrate, I only have to mention the astonishment of my American colle2igues at the report of strikes in France by employes demanding the generalization of a fifth week of paid vacation. 

As Y. Ohama says the early deterioration of reinforced concrete stmctures has been a big social problem in the world in recent years and he continues the future growth of sustainable concrete-polymer composites such as polymer modified mortar and concrete, and polymer mortar as repair materials is globally expected . P. Seidler states innovations cannot be forecasted innovations need firstly leisure time and thus money . It will be important for the development of the field polymers in concrete that the future technical trends will be well defined and that a good balance between time and money could be achieved.
