Brian Torchin is leading pioneer in his field. He is the owner of HCRC staffing. His company provides an online resource where medical professionals can find gainful employment. His team has been helping doctors find employment since their inception.
Each industry has its challenges when it comes to locating jobs. The healthcare industry can be a difficult place to find work. Most high paying healthcare positions, such as positions for doctors, are usually not listed on public sites.
A lot of positions that doctors receive are usually through word of mouth, or knowing someone working a specific facility. According to LuLu, Brian Torchins company has changed the way doctors locate employment opportunities.
Brian Torchins Accomplishments
Torchin has always had a fascination with medicine. He was once employed as an acting medical professional. He received a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science through the University of Delaware. He used this degree to become a Chiropractor, where he practiced for a few years.
Aside from being an excellent chiropractor, Brian Torchin decided to do something for others who dedicated their lives to medicine. His biggest accomplishment is creating HCRC Staffing. The agency has bridged a gap in the healthcare industry that no other agency has been able to penetrate.
The Advantages Of Using Torchins Services
Medical professionals can benefit from using the services provided by HCRC. They no longer have to worry about having connections in the field to gain employment at a different facility. Many people forget to remember that doctors are people to. They have families that depend on them.
Finding a listing on a job search engine for a doctor is like finding a needle in a haystack. By using the services provided by HCRC doctors can locate employment opportunities that require their expertise. HCRC makes the task of finding employment as a qualified medical professional easy.

Spirituality: Transformation Within and Without
Swami Rama
Today, we have access to every conceivable kind of knowledge about the world around us, yet few of us have even the dimmest knowledge of our innermost selves. Swami Rama, one of the most influential yogis to visit the Western world in the twentieth century, was raised in the cave monasteries of the Himalayas, where the central tenet of education was to first know one's own inner being. Leaving the idyllic world of the meditation masters behind, Swami Rama was shocked by the ignorance and corruption he found everywhere around him. In Spirituality: Transformation Within and Without, Swami Rama calls on us all to return to the fundamental values of mankind, especially as they are articulated by the sages who founded the world's great religions. He asks us to integrate these values with the insights of science to create a more enlightened society, and to find our own inner truth.

About the Author
One of the greatest adepts, teachers, writers, and humanitarians of the 20th century, Swami Rama (1925-1996) is the founder of the Himalayan Institute. Born in Northern India, he was raised from early childhood by the Himalayan sage, Bengali Baba. He traveled from monastery to monastery and studied with a variety of Himalayan saints and sages. Swami Rama also received higher education in both India and Europe. From 1949 to 1952, he held the prestigious position of Shankaracharya in South India. He then returned to his master to receive further training at his cave monastery. In 1969 he came to the United States. His best known work, Living With the Himalayan Masters, reveals the many facets of this singular adept and demonstrates his embodiment of the living tradition of the East.
More on Spirituality
"Nothing is more mysterious than life itself, and there is no peace without penetrating that mystery. The mystery lies deep in the stream of life. There is an eternal knowledge, not in the outer world, but in the center of Consciousness."
-Swami Rama

I have a 2012 Focus that sustained minor body damage (less than $2000). I filed the claim with my Ins. company. When the check came, it had Ford Motor Credit as one of the required endorsers. My wife called Ford Credit at the 1-800 number and inquired as to where to send the check to get it endorsed. The Ford Credit Rep stated she would give her the information then said nothing. After a long long pause, my wife asked her again for the information. The representative then became rude and then dictated the information so fast that my wife was unable to write it down. My wife asked her again politely and requested for her to speak slowly so she could write the information down. She repeated it again in a rude and fast manner. My wife asked the Ford Credit Rep if she could read it back to her. Then the Ford Rep stated, "You heard it correctly" and would not repeat it again. My wife then thanked her. This was important information that we needed to get right. I WILL NEVER USE FORD MOTOR CREDIT AGAIN. Moreover, It would have been unfortunate for that person if this had been a face to face meeting with me and her. Attention FORD, if you don't reel in your people and monitor their actions more closely, you will out of business, wondering what happened.

Lakers Hire Mike D'Antoni
In a dramatic saga, the Los Angeles Lakers fired Mike Brown on Friday, just five games into the season. Then they toyed with rehiring Phil Jackson to take his place. Then, late on Sunday, they stunned the NBA by hiring Mike D'Antoni. Even D'Antoni's agent had expected Jackson to get the job.
"We're as surprised as everybody waking up and reading about it," his agent, Warren LeGarie, stated.
D'Antoni has received a three-year, $12 million contract with an option for a fourth year. He will be reunited with Steve Nash, who ran his offense in Phoenix, and Kobe Bryant, who he coached with the U.S. national team. It is unclear when D'Antoni will make his Lakers debut because he is recovering from reconstructive knee surgery and is not cleared for travel. He is expected to hire two or three assistants, including his brother Dan and Phil Weber who both worked with him in Phoenix and New York.
D'Antoni's best years were in Phoenix, where the Suns advanced to the Western Conference finals twice and averaged 58 wins in his four seasons. Nash became a two-time most valuable player during these four years on the Suns and is enthusiastic about the reunion saying, "If he were the coach, it would be seamless and terrific for me, and I think the team as well."
General Manager Mitch Kupchak agrees. In a statement, he called D'Antoni "the right person at this time to lead the Lakers forward."
Some reports suggest that D'Antoni might be introduced on Thursday which means his first game with the Lakers could be Friday against the Phoenix Suns. You can get your tickets here with Ace.

Multiple-Output Production With Undesirable Outputs: An Application to Nitrogen Surplus in Agriculture
Many production processes yield both good outputs and undesirable ones (e.g. pollutants). In this paper, we develop a generalization of a stochastic frontier model which is appropriate for such technologies. We discuss efficiency analysis and, in particular, define technical and environmental efficiency in the context of our model. Methods for carrying out Bayesian inference are developed and applied to a panel data set of Dutch dairy farms, where excess nitrogen production constitutes an important environmental problem.

You're cute, here is a picture of my dog.
I'm not that old. I've yet to sprout a gray hair. I own my own bed, but not my own blender. I'm at that precarious age where I'm still young enough to expect to crash on a friend's sofa, but too old to be caught wearing a spandex American Apparel tube dress.
That also means I've reached the age where, try as I might, I do not crave dick pics. Once the recipient of such illuminating evening missives as "you mad hot and mad fuckable" and the fluke erection portrait, I no longer feel as welcoming towards that kind of sexy nonsense. Let's be honest, there's something just a little too disingenuous about texting back, "yr sexy too. you still up?" while I'm, in reality, mincing garlic in flannel pants and watching old PBS interviews between Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell on YouTube.
Which is why I am proud to say I am the current recipient not of sexts, but pexts. Pet texts, which is, I believe, a term I completely made up. What I mean is pictures of dogs, pictures of cats, pictures of fish. Snaps of men with their dogs. Pictures of men asleep on their purchased sofas with their collies. And (personal favorite) photos of shirtless men snuggling up in bed with their adored and cared for pets. See, the beauty of the pext is that it is the ultimate symbol of maturing sexuality. It is the tacit recognition that, yes, I look good on this IKEA leather sofa without my shirt on, but moreover, I daily feed and walk an adorable living creature who continues to live — because of the care I give it with these nicely muscled arms. The pext is a conduit for human trust.
I am not certain what suddenly shifted in me to make the curious idea of pexts so appealing. I am relieved that the men I am recently flirting with have (correctly) assumed that I would greatly appreciate pictures of them with their pets in lieu of grainy shafts. I think it's because, while maybe not always looking for something serious, I am always unchangeably looking for loyalty, warmth, and basic human connection. These are common attributes of a pet owner, and when a single fella opts into becoming one, not because he "got the dog" in a breakup, but because he has a vested interest in rearing a charming little kitten or pup, it turns me on. I believe my response to a recent pext which depicted a lovely bearded gentleman slyly smirking with his Australian sheep dog in his shapely forearms was a succinct, but heartfelt, "Sold."
I am a mere mortal and I enjoy cute things. And when it is a cute thing holding another cute thing, a part inside of me explodes with happiness, an urge to bite, and a burgeoning desire to be closer to the cute thing(s). I am not ready to be shown adorableness in the form of small infants. I haven't matured to the level of pictures of men with babies yet. Pexts meet me on the rung right below children and somewhere above refurbished wicker chairs on the responsibility ladder. When I got a picture of a happy dog accompanied by a, "He can't wait to meet you," last year, the owner didn't have to say, "I want to fuck your brains out." That's because the pext did all the heavy lifting a responsible, generous man knows it can do.
I am here to inform you the pext is a movement in adult seduction, an aging craftsman's form of the tease. Pet sexts are an intimate and winking kind of adult flirtation wrapped up in a furry little pixeled bow. Pexting will always make me swoon. It will always get my "Well, hello there."
Except once I got a picture of rats, which, I'm sorry, I'm not interested.

The from id is 123456789. I then get a text from a friend George. In the list view of of my texts George's text showing under the Facebook number. When I press on the Facebook name it shows the text from Facebook then from George. If I reply it goes to Facebook not George. It also happens under different users, appears to be very random and is causing issues as I'm trying to quickly reply, forget to check who it's going to, then I text someone something I shouldn't have. Not cool. Any ideas how to fix it? I downloaded Handcent SMS as well and that is having the same issue so it appears to be a root droid issue. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

New Delhi, Nov. 24: The Union cabinet today cleared a plan to create a trading platform for small and mid-cap companies by amending the securities legislation.
The decision, which is based on the market regulator's advice, will require small changes in the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act.
The aim of the legislation is to create a window of opportunity for small and medium firms, which want to tap the stock market for growth and expansion programmes.
Officials said a similar effort made earlier through the Over The Counter Exchange of India (OTCEI) did not take off, but the demand for such an exchange modelled on the US Nasdaq 'remained and has in fact gained momentum'.
As part of the changes, the government has brought in a proviso under which any contract between members of two or more exchanges shall be subject to a prior approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi).
The government also decided to infuse Rs 300 crore in the Export Credit Guarantee Corporation to increase its capital to Rs 800 crore.
The proposal to raise the capital of ECGC from its present limit of Rs 500 crore had been moved by the commerce ministry, finance minister P. Chidambaram said after the meeting.
ECGC officials said the government will infuse Rs 100 crore every year over the next three years to raise the paid-up capital of ECGC to Rs 800 crore, against an authorised capital of Rs 1,000 crore. This will enable the credit guarantee firm to bear a higher risk exposure in large value contracts, officials said.
Exporters have long been demanding that ECGC's credit capability should be enhanced as they say they are now venturing into areas of higher risk such as Latin American nations, interior parts of the former Soviet Union and China.

How do you defy destiny?
Helen Hamilton has spent her entire sixteen years trying to hide how different she is—no easy task on an island as small and sheltered as Nantucket. And it's getting harder. Nightmares of a desperate desert journey have Helen waking parched, only to find her sheets damaged by dirt and dust. At school she's haunted by hallucinations of three women weeping tears of blood . . . and when Helen first crosses paths with Lucas Delos, she has no way of knowing they're destined to play the leading roles in a tragedy the Fates insist on repeating throughout history.
As Helen unlocks the secrets of her ancestry, she realizes that some myths are more than just legend. But even demigod powers might not be enough to defy the forces that are both drawing her and Lucas together—and trying to tear them apart.
Review: Truth be told, I skimmed the last two chapters. It started off really good; I liked the humor, but I got bored with the story about half-way through. I loved how instead of falling in love with Lucas when she first sees him in the hall, Helen tried to kill him. The cousin factor was weird, though. When Daphne said she was married to Ajax, I figured that Helen and Lucas would never work out. Don't read this book unless you enjoy being disappointed.

Man pleads guilty to Pope County felony for posing as building contractor
GLENWOOD — Authorities say a Minot, North Dakota, man posed as a building contractor in July 2014, cashing his down payment checks of nearly $23,000 and disappearing without completing work for a pair of Gilchrist Township residents.
Brandon James Basinger, 30, was charged in February 2015 in Pope County District Court with two felony counts of theft by swindle.
The case had been on hold for a year and a half after Basinger failed to appear at a May 2015 hearing. A warrant issued for his arrest then was returned in September, while he was incarcerated for separate charges in North Dakota.
He appeared in court Tuesday for a pretrial hearing, and pleaded guilty to one count of theft by swindle, a felony.
A sentencing hearing has not been set but is expected to be scheduled within a month, after a presentence investigation is completed, according to Assistant Pope County Attorney Troy Nelson.
According to the criminal complaint on the charges, a pair of neighbors had hired Basinger to build structures on their Gilchrist Township properties, north of Sunburg. Basinger reportedly wanted one-third of the payment up front.
One neighbor paid Basinger $8,342.93; the other paid $15,931.19.
Basinger did not have a contractor's license in Minnesota, according to the criminal complaint. He allegedly spoke in detail with the neighbors about the Perka buildings he planned to build on their properties.
But when it came time for the building to be constructed on one property, Basinger allegedly did not show up.
The property owner called the building manufacturer, Perka. The manufacturing company said Basinger had not purchased anything from it. It believed Basinger was scamming people.
Basinger told the property owner that the building had been accidentally delivered to his property, and that he would arrange to get it delivered to Minnesota.
Soon, the property owner was in contact with the McLean County Sheriff's Office in North Dakota. A sheriff's deputy told the property owner that there was not a newly delivered building on Basinger's property in North Dakota. The Sheriff's Office there had arrested him on theft by deception charges in North Dakota, alleging he had scammed North Dakotans as well.
Basinger reportedly told the other Gilchrist Township property owner that their building was delayed because there was a problem with the truck. Basinger allegedly told the property owner he would call back in 15 minutes. He never called back.
Pope County deputies determined that some of the documents Basinger had shown the property owners had been forged from Menards documents, with a Menards color pallette and Menards brand steel, according to the criminal complaint.
Basinger was sentenced in March 2015 on the McLean County, North Dakota, charges and ordered to serve a month under electronic monitoring and repay $48,554.
Those charges alleged a similar situation to that in Pope County: Basinger had been contracted by a North Dakota woman on Craigslist to construct a building on her property. While he allegedly took several large payments from her, he ultimately did not construct the building on her property.

Hearing on June 1, 2010 before the Sessions Judge, Karkardooma Sikhs For Justice, who along with All India Sikh Students Federation, is spearheading a legal campaign against denial of justice to the victims of November 1984 Massacre of Sikhs filed a revision petition challenging the order of Additional Chief Metropolitans Magistrate Rakesh Pandit acquitting Jagdish Tytler on April 27, 2010 Advocate Navkiran Singh who heads the legal team on behalf of Sikhs for Justice along with Advocate Kamna Vohra filed the Revision petition on behalf of complainant Lakhwinder Kaur before Sessions Court Karkardooma on May 29th challenging the order of Additional Chief Metropoliton Magistrate Rakesh Pandit acquitting Jagdish Tytler on April 27, 2010.
Advocate Navkiran Singh and Kamna Vohra stated that the revision petition has been filed on the ground that there is clear evidence of Criminal Conspiracy against Jagdish Tytler which has been overlooked in this case. Advocate Navkiran Singh stated that they are hopeful that through revision petition the case against Jagdish Tytler would be reopened and charges of murder, conspiracy and destroying of religious place will be framed against Tytler. Senior Advocate HS Phoolka who has been representing the victims of the November 1984 Sikh massacre for the last 26 years stated that the court while accepting the closure report did not take into account the conspiracy angle which Jagdish Tytler entered into to perpetrate the killings of the Sikhs.
Advocate HS Phoolka stated that in November 1984 Jagdish Tytler openly supported the perpetrators of the massacre. Advocate Phoolka pointed to the Joint Inquiry report "who are the Guilty" published in November 1984, wherein it is clearly mentioned that on November 6, 1984 Tytler barged in to the office of the then police Commissioner S.C. Tandon while he was holding a press conference to demand the release of his men who were detained by the police for perpetrating the massacre. Attorney Gurpatwant Singh Pannun Legal Advisor Sikhs For Justice stated that all legal remedies seeking justice will be exhausted in India and then the case of massacre of Sikhs will be filed in International Criminal Court of Justice. Attorney Pannun further stated that the CBI acted as the defense team for Ttyler and ignored material witnesses Resham Singh, Alam Singh and Chain Singh who saw Jagdish Tytler leading the violent mob at Gurudwara Pulbangash on November 1, 1984. Witness Jasbir Singh who is based in California, USA stated that if the charges of murder against Tytler will be framed he will go to India to testify in the court against Jagdish Tytler.
The complainant Lakhwinder Kaur stated the wounds inflicted upon her 25 years back have been reopened by the order of the court acquitting Jagdish Tytler who she says caused the death of her husband Badal Singh. All India Sikh Student Federation President Karnail Singh Peermohammed who has been pursuing the legal cases of November 1984 Sikh Massacre along with Sikhs for Justice for the last three years stated that acquittal of Jagdish Tytler is denial of Justice and proves that killers of minorities in India will never be punished. The revision petition is to come up for hearing on June 1, 2010 before the Sessions Judge, Karkardooma Court

The charges will be framed under Murder (Sec 302); Dacoity (Sec 395); Mischief to property (427) and for spreading enmity between communities (Sec 153-A). Besides Sajjan Kumar, the other accused in the case are Balwan Khokhar, Mahender Yadav, Maha Singh, Capt Bhagmal, Santosh Rani, Girdhari Lal and Krishna Khokhar. This case relates to killing of five Sikhs in Delhi Cantonment area by mob led by Sajjan Kumar and other accused during the November 1984 Sikh Genocide.
May 20, 2010
The sustained struggle for Justice by victims of November 1984 Sikh Genocide, Human Rights Advocacy group Sikhs For Justice and All India Sikh Student Federation (AISSF) bore fruit when a Delhi Court ordered framing of chargesagainst Congress Leader Sajjan Kumar for his role in killing of Sikhs during the November 1984 Sikh Genocide.
The charges will be framed under Murder; Looting, Dacoity and Robbery; Spreading enmity between communities; Violation of curfew orders, Arson, burning of Gurudwara and burning of Houses. Additional Sessions Judge Sunita Gupta allowed CBI's plea seeking prosecution of Sajjan Kumar under various sections of Indian Penal Code after finding prima facie evidence against him. Besides Sajjan Kumar, the other accused in the case are Balwan Khokhar, Mahender Yadav, Maha Singh, Capt Bhagmal, Santosh Rani, Girdhari Lal and Krishna Khokhar.
This case relates to killing of five Sikhs in Delhi Cantonment area by a mob led by Sajjan Kumar and other accused during the November 1984 Sikh Genocide. On the basis of recommendations of Justice Nanavati Commission, this case was entrusted to CBI in 2005 for further investigation/ reinvestigation against Sajjan Kumar and other accused.
Sikhs for Justice and AISSF are pursuing a legal battle in Indian courts to get punished those guilty of killing Sikhs during the November 1984 Sikh Genocide in India. Sikhs for Justice has established a legal team headed by Advocate Kamna Vohra along with Advocate Navkiran Singh. Advocates have also been appointed to represent the CBI including Senior Advocate Mr. RS Cheema, Mr. DP Singh and Mr. Y.P. Saxena. Senior advocate Mr. HS Phoolka who represents the victims of the Genocide from last 25 years said that the framing of the charges will pave for trial in the case.
The Delhi High Court had earlier issued direction to complete the trial within six months of cases relating to November 1984 Sikh Genocide. The trial will be held on day today basis. Advocate Kamna Vohra appearing for the victims stated this is a very important development and she is very hopeful that the perpetrators of the November 1984 Sikh Genocide will be punished.
AISSF President Karnail Singh Peermohammed stated that though delayed, he is hopeful that justice will be done. He stated that the wounds of the Sikh community will be healed only after the killers of the Sikhs are punished by law. In January 2010, CBI filed two charge sheets against Sajjan Kumar for his role in the November 1984 massacre of Sikhs. The chargesheets pertained to killing of seven Sikhs in Sultanpuri, North-West Delhi and killing of five Sikhs in Delhi Cantonment in November 1984.
The charges in this case will be formally framed in the court on May 24, 2010.
Besides this case the Sikhs for Justice legal time is currently pursuing 32 Appeals involving 98 accused in Delhi High Court and 3 Appeals against acquittal of accused at the Supreme Court of India.

Hundreds of Sikhs under the banner of Sikh Federation, UK protested the visit of Indian Minister Kamal Nath to the United Kingdom and chanted slogans on the periphery of Regent's Park outside the London Business School, UK. The demonstration was not at all subsided even though Kamal Nath didn't attend the conference. Jagtar Singh, an advisor to Sikh Federation, UK stated that "They decided to go ahead anyway because the police would not confirm that Kamal Nath would not attend."
During the demonstration against Kamal Nath, Professor Sir Andrew Likierman, Dean of London Business School spoke to the Sikhs and took the postcards presenting the clear evidence against Kamal Nath's role in November 1984 Sikh Genocide to distribute in the conference. In the coming weeks, Senior Advocate HS Phoolka will be taking the first case against Indian Minister Kamal Nath through the Delhi courts Kamal Nath led the mob that attacked Gurudwara Rakab Ganj in Delhi during November 1984 Sikh Genocide where many Sikhs were burnt alive. According to the Indian Express reporter Manish Sanjay Suri, Kamal Nath was in control of the mob and led the mob outside Gurudwara Rakab Ganj, Delhi.
In March 2010, during Kamal Nath's visit to Canada several Justice Rallies were coordinated by Sikhs for Justice against Kamal Nath in Toronto and Ottawa. As a result of Justice Rallies, several Canadian MPs supported the Justice Rallies which includeLiberal MP Andrew Kania, Brampton West, MP Sukh Dhaliwal, Newton-North Delta, MP Navdeep Singh Bains, PC and MP Tim Uppal, Edmonton-Sherwood Park.
Canadian New Democrat Leader Jack Layton stated that a "divisive and controversial" politician had been invited to Canada and urged his caucus members to boycott Kamal Nath events.
In April 2010, during Kamal Nath's visit to United States, Sikhs for Justice held the "Justice Rally" against Kamal Nath's visit outside McGraw Hill Auditorium, New York. On April 06, 2010, during Kamal Nath's visit to USA, Sikhs For Justice and Victims of November 1984 Sikh Genocide filed a case against Kamal Nath in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York charging Nath with human rights violations under the Alien Torts Claims Act and the Torture Victims Protection Act. Honorable Judge Sweet issued summons and ordered Kamal Nath to respond to the allegations within twenty one days

Jorian Ponomareff
Jorian Ponomareff had his first two wheels at the age of 14 years, and ever since, he's wanted to discover new sensations. He is from the South of France and is a naturally talented Stunt Rider. He met the team of a French TV show, Stunt-Attitude, whose members gave him the taste for his new passion: stunting, especially R @ ph, who was his role model.
Today, recognized worldwide for his athletic ability and his videos that have been viewed millions of times, he is a true competitor. You can trot the globe assured to see his shows in places like New York, Indonesia, United Kingdom, Germany, Malaysia, California, Mauritius and many more.
As one of the most popular freestyle Stunt Rider he has now ventured into Indian territory to give the contestants of Pulsar MTV Stuntmania Underground a taste of his skill and passion. And the big gratification – The winner of Pulsar MTV Stuntmania Undergound will get the golden chance to train with him and do a show with him in France!
(Smiles) I stunt because I am passionate about it!
Jorian, what do you think of this show? Have you ever been a part of something like this before?
It's actually the first time that I am seeing something like this and it's great to see the spirit of Indian stunt riders coming to the fore through such a show.
So what is your role in the show?
I am judging one freestyle episode on the show and evaluating the riders based on their freesty;ing skills. And also the winner of Stuntmania Underground will get a chance to train with me for one week in France.
Do you think that the Indian stunt riders at par with the world level?
They definitely have a different style and different tricks than the rest. The most striking thing about them is that they all have big smiles on their faces!
What advice would you give to aspiring stunt bikers?
I'd say, try to learn as much as you can, keep the smile on and keep the passion flowing!
Name: Rannvijay Singh Singha.
Born on: 16th March, 1983.
Height: 6'.
Education: Went to 9 different schools. Graduated from Hansraj College, Delhi University with a Bachelor's of Commerce.
First Job: As a construction worker, in New Jersey, US.
On his love for bikes:
I'm crazy about bikes. Everyone knows me as a biker. On my 1st birthday, I was given a tricycle. I rode it well! And by the time I was 8, I was teaching kids older than me how to ride cycles. By 14, I used to maro bikes from people…as in, ask them to let me ride. Then my dad bought me a bike - a Hero Honda Splendor. It's a Sports bike. I have a few other bikes - a Suzuki GSX 600, a Kawasaki Ninja, a 225 CC modified Hero Honda Karisma which I won on Roadies, a 50 CC Pocket bike and a Royal Enfield Bullet.
It's all about the passion. Right from the moment you pop your first wheelie, you're addicted to the thrill of stunting.
You've been a biker all along. What took you so long to get involved with Pulsar MTV Stuntmania?
I've wanted to do it since season one but there have been date problems as there were a couple of other big shows airing at the same time. I really wanted to do Pulsar MTV Stuntmania. In fact - it was conceptualised by a friend of mine, keeping me in mind!
You're a part of two bike-related shows, MTV Roadies and now, Pulsar MTV Stuntmania. So which do you prefer and why?
Firstly, Roadies has given me the opportunity to be on Stuntmania. If there was no Roadies, I wouldn't have been on Stuntmania, so I would not like to take away anything from it. But yes, the scale of the stunts is much bigger on a show like Stuntmania since experts are doing them here. Roadies, on the other hand, is not just about the tasks, it's also about relationships, situations and how people react to them.
How does taking street stunting underground make a difference to the overall format of the show?
We try and do things differently each season because without that, it would get boring. The thought behind taking Stuntmania underground was that anywhere else in the world, stunt riding is considered a sport but in our country, it's still looked down upon and called a crime. If you are stunt riding in our colony, then most likely your parents are called, you are yelled at, and there's a lot of social stigma attached with the sport.
So we decided to take these stunt riders 'underground' as a means of telling them that here you are free to do as you please and express yourself without restriction because you are no longer in the realm of the normal world.
What do you think of the Golden Pulsar that'll be given to the winner of MTV Stuntmania?
The Golden Pulsar is an integral part of the show. At every part and every moment of the show the contestants can see the Golden Pulsar but can't lay their hands on it. So it's like a trophy for them. It's a great bike, following in the tradition of the regular Pulsar, which is undoubtedly the best sports bike in the country.
What is your favourite memory of the show?
The moments I spent with Babar and our director, Rishabh, before I did any stunt. (Laughs) Babar would always tell me, "Why are you doing this?" and Rishabh would always say, "Go do it!" There are a lot of stunts in Stuntmania which I have done without rehearsals. Doing these stunts gave me a tremendous rush. I felt that same nervousness, the same rush of adrenaline and the hollowness in my stomach before each and every stunt that I performed on the show!
What advice would you give to aspiring stunters?
Learn stunt riding from experts. There are people who have started teaching stunt riding. Babar, for example, has started his own academy in Bhopal. So if you learn from an expert, you are less likely to get hurt. Also, make sure to practice in isolated lots, away from people and traffic for your safety as well as that of others. If you are smart about it and responsible about it, you will never be in any sort of problem.
Finally, tell us about that awesome plane stunt we see in the promos. Who thought of it?
How difficult was it to do?
(Grins) For that, you'll have to watch the show! But I can tell you this - it was the final stunt of the season… the 'Grand Finale'.

What Dance Means to me!?
Hiiii I am ASHU
What Dance Means to me!
Dancing has been an important part of my life for sixteen years,
When I was two my mother enrolled me in dance.
For so long Dance was entertainment something to keep me busy and active.
But as I got older I realized it's a way to express one's feelings to just block everything out and get away even on my worst days dance would always make me feel better.
Of all the experiences I've had as a dancer I really love teaching just to see the excitement in a little kid's face when they master a new step, or when you tell them their doing a good job it's always worth it even though I've been peed on several times and kicked in the face with a tap shoe, When I see the smiles and get the hugs it makes it worth it to me.
I've been teaching for seven years now and have had over two hundred and fifty students; I hope to continue teaching as long as I can.
Over the years dance has helped me to grow in other ways. From it I have learned that hard work really does pay off, I have learned discipline and self-control are not only a vital part of dancing, but a necessary part of life, also I have recognized that motivation and perseverance are keys to success.
What matters is not who wins in the beginning, but who is still on her feet in the end. Perhaps the most impotent lesson dance has thought me is responsibility.

Initially everyone was confused about why I was doing this. But when they noticed how good I was at free styling and seeing me get selected for Stuntmania, everybody was so stunned and happy for me.
Stunt riding is a game and in India, it's not getting the respect it deserves. I agree stunt riding on a road or a public place can be dangerous, so at least proper areas, stunting ground, etc. can be allotted for the people who want to do it.
Success, because if you have success then fame and power come with it
Bikes, because babes can deceive you and I trust my bike more than babes.

Riding in a group can be fun. A well co-ordinated group on the road is a sight to see. and riding as a part of a group gives each rider a sense of camaraderie and security of numbers. To make a group ride the pleasant affair that it is, there should be a system of riding that is agreed upon by all its members. The riding formation, signals for communicating when on the move, handling of novice members by the experienced members and tackling emergencies should all be a well rehearsed routine for a cohesive group. Prior to every ride, the group should get together to discuss the route details along with any new issues of relevance to the ride apart from rehearsing the existing system. In an order of subject, the following things are worth working on before any and every group ride.
- Review where we are going and what route we will be taking. Also talk about the distances that are expected to be covered between breaks.
- Describe how to handle lane changing. Discuss way-points along the day's ride that could work as converging points if the group splits apart. Exchange mobile phone numbers, if any, to get in touch in such a contingency.
- Specify, demonstrate and explain each hand-signal that would be used.
- Determine the riding experience of everyone who is new to the group, brief him specifically about things other experienced members take for granted (combining tasks on stops, drinking water frequently to avoid dehydration etc.).
- Assign (to new people only) 'SLOT' positions that they are to ride in until the leader (who rides behind to assess their riding) is satisfied with their abilities to handle their bikes
- Invite all the riders to do a 'walk around' their bikes to ensure all is in order and then to take a quick look at the bikes on either side of them for the same reason.
For example, in rain either the whole group slows down or the individual riders increase their separation to compensate for increased braking distances need in the wet. The average rider takes almost 1 full second to recognize and then to react to an UNEXPECTED threat. (About 1/2 second if the threat is anticipated.) The '2-second Rule', in other words, provides 1 full second of distance between bikes in order to provide sufficient time for following bikers to recognize and react to unexpected threats. So, if all the riders in the group have roughly similar skill levels, no matter what the rider in front does, the one following should be able to avoid hitting him. Since gravity either aids or detracts from the ability of your brakes to stop your bike based on whether you are on an incline or a decline, following distances must be significantly increased to maintain the safety margin if you are riding downhill - and the steeper the slope, the wider those distances should be.
- Lead bikes should change speed more gradually. All bikes in a group can react to changes in speed of bikes that are farther ahead of them than just the one immediately ahead. The members of a group should not crank their throttles up to excessive speeds just to keep the group spacing 'correct'.
- A good group leader does NOT accelerate within 15 seconds of entering a curve (assuming he has to then slow down before actually entering that curve. Remember, fast in and slow out of a turn!) The '1-second between bikes' rule should be abandoned whenever the group is riding on twisty roads - it makes sense only when traveling in a straight line on open highway.
- Never allow a group to become larger than SIX bikes if even one of the riders is inexperienced with group riding. Never larger than EIGHT bikes even if all are familiar with the riding habits of each other.
These T-hands imply 'I need help'. For someone stranded by the road-side, maybe with some mechanical failure or even a puncture, this sign indicates the need for help.
This thumbs up is the universal okay sign. For the group, when this comes from the leader, it is a signal to get moving. 'Everything is okay. Lets go.'
The pointing finger is used for just what it is. To point the way we are supposed to be heading. Used at intersections, forks in the road and possible diversion points to indicate the road to take.
The thumbs down says I need to stop for some reason right now. Get behind me, move to the side of the road and stop behind me when I do. A vigorous up and down 'thumbs down' means I need to stop immediately (I got a wasp trapped in my helmet!!).
Photo: At the least the leaders should keep their headlight on for easy visibility.
Basic skills
A few basic skills are needed in order to successfully ride with any group. You must be capable of riding a straight line, controlling your speed, anticipating possible problems and watching the road ahead of you. At the same time, be alert for activity in your peripheral vision.
Lead Bike--A person who rides in the most forward position in a group and who relays information to all other riders in the group via hand signals. The Lead Bike determines the group's direction, speed, choice of lane, and formation. He or she often must make quick navigation decisions in the face of road hazards, changes in road surface conditions, poor signage, construction and other obstacles while maintaining control of his or her bike and communicating to those following. If there are three groups on a ride, there will be three Lead Bikes.
Drag Bike-- A person who rides in the last position in a group. The Drag Bike must secure a lane for the rest of the group during lane changes into faster traffic (move first to block oncoming traffic) and close the door (move to block passing traffic) when a lane is lost in a merging lane situation. Usually this is the most experienced rider in a group, for the Drag Bike is the rider who stops to assist a rider who has mechanical trouble, loses control, or drops out of a ride for some other reason. The Drag Bike should be prepared to render aid to a downed or disabled rider in a group. If at all possible, the Drag Bike should have a co-rider who can assist with traffic control if a serious problem arises. If there are three groups on a ride, there will be three Drag Bikes. The rider in this position is sometimes called the tail gunner.
Hold your line -- If you have watched a professional race, you know that every rider needs to "hold a line." This means that rider need to be capable of riding a line parallel with the edge of the road.
Practice this skill by riding 12 to 24 inches to the right of the white shoulder line while trying to keep parallel with that line.
Group rides incorporate pace lines—or some version thereof—into their sessions. In its most basic form, a pace line occurs when one rider pulls a line of other riders behind them. Each person follows the rider in front of them by staying within a 2-3 bike length of their leader's rear wheel.
Control your speed -- Fast accelerations or jerky braking motions disrupt the line and can cause a crash.
Keep eyes and ears open -- The first person in the group can see clear road. Thus, they need to point out road hazards—as do the rest of the people in the line. Pointing out hazards and verbal communication skills are important. For this reason, do not use headphones in a group riding situation.
When you are following someone, avoid getting a visual fixation on their rear wheel. Look several feet ahead, keeping the distance between your front wheel and the rider ahead of you in your peripheral vision. Watch for road hazards as well as motion to either side of the pace line.
Though we all get our machines with the rear view mirrors fixed on them, but some of us get them removed. One must keep them there to see cars and other vehicles approaching from the rear. A rear view mirror mounted on your bikes can be very helpful when watching for cars and other fast moving vehicles.
Maintain the motion of the other riders in your peripheral vision. Watch for sudden changes in cadence—this usually signals some sort of problem.
This column just scratched the surface of group riding skills. Once you master the basics, you should continue to hone your skills.
Remember: in group rides smart riders often have the advantage over strong riders.
Motorcycle Etiquette
Standard staggered formation. You should be 1 to 1.5 seconds behind the staggered bike, which would put you 2 to 3 seconds behind the bike directly in front of you.
If you like to ride slow or are new to group riding get up front. Those who like to ride fast should ride in the back. New riders may think they want to ride in the back, but the reality is just the opposite, they need to be near the front.
Spread out a little around tight corners. Most will need a little extra space. We don't want anyone riding off into the ditch.
No wheelies, stoppies, etc. People should also not slow way down from the group, then zoom back up to the group. While it may be fun to goof around with your bike when you're alone, it can create problems with the safety of the group.
Group Riding Etiquette Hand Signals
please pass all signals to riders behind you.
With your right or left arm extended, move your
Raise your left arm horizontal with your elbow fully extended.
Raise your left arm horizontal with your elbow bent 90 degrees vertically.
Extend your left arm at a 45 degree angle and point towards the hazard.
Extend your right arm at a 45 degree angle and point towards the hazard.
Extend your left arm upward at a 45 degree angle with your elbow bent to 90 degrees and point towards the hazard over your helmet.
Raise your left arm up and down with your index finger extended upward. This indicates the leader wants to speed up.
Extend your left arm at a 45 degree angle and move your hand up and down.
Position your left hand over your helmet with your fingers extended upward. This indicates the leader wants the group in a single file formation. Usually this is done for safety reasons.
Extend your left arm upward at a 45 degree angle with your index and pinkie finger extended. This indicate that it is safe to return to staggered formation.
Raise your left arm and repeatedly move up and down in a pulling motion. This indicates the leader wants the group to close ranks.
Extend your left arm straight out with your elbow bent 90 degrees. Carefully extend your middle finger to clearly demonstrate your dissatisfaction with the other guy. NOTE: It is not recommended you do this when you are alone.
Rules: Who Needs Them?
The following guidelines for riding in a group are not gospel. There are situations in which they don't apply. Some organizations may have different terms for these concepts, as well. These guidelines have been tested for many miles, however, in clubs whose members ride all brands and models of motorcycles, and they have sound safety rationales to support them. If you as a rider find yourself in a group which does not follow these guidelines, you can usually find someone who will explain what rules that organization follows, if any, or how they differ from what you learn here. At most responsible group rides, a riders' meeting will be held prior to departure, in order to clarify what is expected of all the riders who are to participate. If you find yourself uncomfortable with the riding style of a group at any time, DROP OUT. Your safe arrival at your destination is far more important than conforming to rules you don't like or don't understand. People who ride in a group usually appreciate knowing what they are expected to do, and what to expect from others who are taking part in a hazardous sport in close proximity to them. Road Captains and those who frequently ride lead or drag are particularly urged to become familiar with these terms and guidelines in order to explain them to other riders who may show up for a scheduled ride without having any group riding experience.
Some Common Group Riding Terms
Road Captain: a person who devises group riding rules or guidelines for an organized group ride. And who communicates these guidelines to the group, and who generally plans and lays out group rides. The Road Captain may or may not ride lead for a particular ride.
Lead Bike: a person who rides in the most forward position in a group and who relays information to all other riders in the group via hand signals. The Lead Bike determines the group's direction, speed, choice of lane, and formation. He or she often must make quick navigation decisions in the face of road hazards, changes in road surface conditions, poor signage, construction and other obstacles while maintaining control of his or her bike and communicating to those following. If there are three groups on a ride, there will be three Lead Bikes.
Drag Bike: a person who rides in the last position in a group. The Drag Bike must secure a lane for the rest of the group during lane changes into faster traffic (move first to block oncoming traffic) and close the door (move to block passing traffic) when a lane is lost in a merging lane situation. Usually this is the most experienced rider in a group, for the Drag Bike is the rider who stops to assist a rider who has mechanical trouble, loses control, or drops out of a ride for some other reason. The Drag Bike should be prepared to render aid to a downed or disabled rider in a group. If at all possible, the Drag Bike should have a co-rider who can assist with traffic control if a serious problem arises. If there are three groups on a ride, there will be three Drag Bikes. The rider in this position is sometimes called the tail gunner.
Cage: any vehicle that is not a motorcycle, but particularly an automobile.
Cager: The enemy, anyone driving a cage.
Group Parking: a formation in which all bikes in a group follow the Lead Bike in single file into a parking lot, making a U-turn such that they can all line up next to each other in the space available with the rear of their bikes against the curb or edge of the lot, the front tires pointing outward.
Parade formation: a formation in which all the motorcyclists in a group ride two abreast.
Staggered formation: a formation of motorcyclists in a group in which the Lead Bike rides in the left track of a lane, the next bike in the right track(slot), and the next bike in the left track, and so on. Bikes in a group generally maintain a minimum interval of two seconds travel time between bikes in the same track, and one second travel time between each bike in the group. In a staggered formation, a rider still commands and may ride in the entire width of his lane as needed. Group riders may also ride single file or two abreast. The Drag Bike may ride in the left or right track depending on the number of bikes in the group. It is preferable for the Drag Bike to ride in the left track, so as to have the same visibility line as the Lead Bike.
Single file: a formation in which all the cyclists in a group ride in one track of a lane.
Slot: any position within a group in the right track of a lane, farthest from oncoming traffic.
Track: the zone of a lane in which a rider maintains his position in a group. A lane of traffic is split into five zones: the left track is the second zone from the left, the middle of the lane (generally not used) is the third zone, and the right track is the fourth zone from the left. Two zones on the sides of a lane serve as margins. A rider may vary his path of travel from his normal track as is required by a road hazard or by an incursion into the group's lane by other vehicles. When departing from a stop, the rider in the left track normally pulls out before the rider on the right, returning to a staggered formation.
Normal Group Riding Maneuvers
Entering Traffic: When the Lead Bike for each group sees that all riders are helmeted, sitting on their bikes, motors running, and ready to depart, he or she will check for traffic and enter the roadway. Usually the Lead Bike will not attempt to exit a parking lot unless there is room for all or most of the group to follow immediately. If the group is split, the Lead Bike will normally take the slow lane and keep the speed relatively low until the group can form up in the positions the riders will keep for the duration of the ride. This may mean traveling slower than surrounding traffic, to encourage four-wheelers to pass and allow the group to form up. Occasionally this cannot be accomplished until the group has made a lane change or entered a freeway, depending on where the entrance ramp may be.
Regardless of the Lead Bike's signals, a rider is responsible for his or her own safety at all times. Ride Your Own Ride.
Once all members of the group are together, the group will take up a staggered formation and will stay in it most of the time during the ride, unless the Lead Bike signals for a change or the need for a change is obvious. Reasons for changing out of a staggered formation could be a passing situation or poor road surface (single file), dog or other animal charging the group (split the group), or coming up to a traffic signal (two abreast while waiting for a light).
When a group of motorcycles is changing lanes, many safety considerations come into play. Should every rider move into the adjacent lane at the same time? If not, should the Lead Bike go first, or should the Drag Bike move first to "secure the lane"? What if another vehicle sees a gap in traffic and tries to cut into the group? If part of the group gets separated from the other riders, should everyone change relative positions (tracks) so that the new Lead Bike is now riding in the left track? The recommended procedure for a group lane change maneuver depends on how the surrounding traffic is moving at the time. The goal for the bike which moves first is to create a gap into which the other bikes can fit.
Regardless of what other riders in the group are doing, each rider must personally check to see that the new lane is clear of traffic before entering it.
Changing Lanes as a Group
There is virtually no time (absent an emergency) when a group of riders should all move at the same time into a different lane, in regular traffic conditions. The wide gap required for a whole group to move is difficult to find in heavy traffic, and if it exists, it will be an invitation for other drivers to jump into it, perhaps while the group might be moving.
Spacing Out; Especially on less-congested rural backroads, the riders in a group may spread out to create larger intervals between motorcycles. This allows a rider to relax a bit, to enjoy the scenery and the ride. If no four-wheelers are trying to pass the group, this is fine. However, the riders should remain close enough to each other to be able to see hand signals being passed back from the Lead Bike. It is possible that a rider will also "space out" in terms of losing his concentration and will forget to practice safe riding strategies. If a rider is not riding safely enough to avoid endangering others in the group (because of lack of experience, medical problems, fatigue, or some other reason), the Lead Bike will usually discuss the problem privately with that rider at the next stop. If a problem cannot be solved reasonably in this way, the Lead Bike has absolute discretion to request that a rider leave the group and is entitled to expect the group to support this decision. In the case of a mechanical or minor medical problem, it is not unusual for another rider to accompany the distressed rider to get help. Sometimes if the Lead Bike just re-assigns the riders to new positions within the group, this is enough to bring a spaced-out motorcyclist back to a state of alert awareness.
Checking Out The Curves
On any stretch of curvy road and in any corner, a group may ride in single-file momentarily, to enable each rider to corner at his own speed and to have as much room as possible for maneuvering. This is especially important to riders with little experience in a group, as they may "wobble" or be nervous about making turns with another bike to their side or riding close behind them. This is an accepted variance to staggered formation; usually the Lead Bike will not signal for single-file at each turn but will expect the riders to choose their own path of travel.
Hand Signals
Certain hand signals are optional in group riding: turn signals on the bikes ahead will usually advise a rider that a turn is coming up, for example, and hand signals in a turning situation may actually add to the danger for some. However, other hand signals are extremely helpful to the rider who has no other means to communicate. The most important two hand signals are these: pointing to an obstacle in the road, warning the rider to avoid it; and pointing to the tank.
Pointing to the tank: No matter what your reason, pointing to the tank on your bike, will be telling everyone that you needs to stop as soon as possible. This may be because needing fuel; to make a "potty stop"; because you are having a mechanical or equipment problem; because your co-rider is uncomfortable; because a medical problem; a crisis of confidence; or for any other reason at all. Such a signal should be relayed throughout the Group. If possible, the Lead Bike may orchestrate a stop by the whole group. If not, the affected bike can count on the Drag Bike to stop with him to try to help him.
Back off -- Palm of left hand shown to group, pushing motion toward rear of bike
Ready to ride – "Thumbs up" high enough in air to be visible to Lead Bike
Single-file formation -- One finger points to the sky on top of the helmet
Slow down -- Left arm is held out straight, then goes up and down
Smoky alert (police or emergency vehicles) -- Hand taps top of helmet several times
Speed up or close ranks in formation -- Left arm makes "windmill" sign
Staggered formation -- First finger and little finger point to the sky on top of the helmet, also known as the "Hook 'em, Horns" sign.
U-turn -- Left hand makes circle in air over head
Exceptions to Normal Guidelines
The often-heard rule, "Ride Your Own Ride," means that any guideline for group riding can and should be ignored when it doesn't make sense. Determining whether this is the case and acting prudently is each rider's individual responsibility at all times. Under normal circumstances, the Lead Bike will choose a lane, will determine the speed at which the riders are to travel, will suggest the formation which makes maneuvers most safe, and will navigate.
Common exceptions to these guidelines occur with a rider who is not yet experienced with group riding. If a maneuver looks too dangerous or awkward for the new rider to complete safely, he or she should do what he needs to do to protect himself and avoid an accident. This may mean passing up a turn or taking it very slowly, or parking somewhere not with the group, or going more slowly through a curve than the riders ahead of him.
Each rider commands his entire area within a lane and may move to left or right in it as required.
Another exception: the Drag Bike may not travel in the same path as the rest of the group. If, for example, a two-lane road is narrowing so that a lane is about to be lost, the Drag Bike will frequently "close the door" by moving out of the group's staggered formation into the lane which is soon to disappear. This is to prevent a four-wheeler from trying at the last minute to pass part of the group and then have to cut into it when the pavement runs out. Even if the riders near the back of the group observe that the Drag Bike is no longer in the position where he has been riding most of the time, they should maintain their own place in the group.
Rubber-Band ("Yo-yo") Effect
Reaction time for a motorcyclist when confronted with an unexpected threat is, on average, about one second. If the need to react is anticipated (such as when a turn has been announced), then riders can usually react within about half a second after the bike ahead begins to react. When a group of riders change speeds very gradually, however, it usually takes two or three seconds for a rider to recognize this and begin to change his speed to maintain his position in the group.
This doesn't sound like much time, but experienced group riders manage their risks reasonably well with a minimum one-second interval between each bike and a minimum two-second interval between bikes that are traveling in the same track. When the group has more than six bikes in it, however, gradual changes in speed within the group can become tricky.
When a Lead Bike begins to accelerate, the second bike doesn't instantly start to travel at the faster rate. Instead, a gap grows between them while the second bike is reacting -- and it continues to grow until the second bike is fully up to the increased, stable speed of the Lead Bike. Clearly, once the speeds are the same, the gap will remain the same size. However, since most groups prefer to keep a one-second minimum interval between bikes (two seconds between bikes in the same track), the new gap caused by the Lead Bike's acceleration may be larger than is desired. When this occurs, the second bike must go faster than the first one for a brief time in order to "catch up."
If we assume that the Lead Bike speeds up from 60 to 70 mph over a period of two seconds, the second bike will have to ride at 75 mph for two seconds (after his reaction time passes) in order to close the gap. Then he will take another one second to decelerate back to 70 mph to create a gap of the proper size. If there were only two bikes in the group, this example is easy to follow. But when the group is larger, and the bikes involved are riding further back in the pack, the "rubber band" effect can be especially dangerous to all bikes from the middle of the group to the Drag bike.
For example, the third bike in the group has this problem: About two seconds after the second bike has begun to accelerate, the third bike responds. Now, however, the second bike is moving at 75 mph rather than at 70 mph like the Lead Bike. The third bike must use even more effort to catch up to the second bike than the second bike did to match his speed to the Lead Bike's new speed, if the gap is to stay relatively constant. He will have to move at 75 mph for four seconds, not two, to catch up. The fourth bike will have to accelerate to 80 mph!
In a group of only six motorcycles, the last one will find the gap between himself and the fifth bike has grown to 143 feet before it begins to close, once he starts to speed up, given these average reaction times. And it will be at least 11 seconds after the Lead Bike first began to accelerate before the sixth bike does so.
Now, imagine what happens in the group if, while this is taking place, the Lead Bike must apply his brakes! This rubber-band effect becomes extremely important if the Lead Bike happens to make an abrupt and major change of speed at certain critical moments, such as when approaching a sharp turn or a tricky curve. Those who ride as Lead Bike, or near the lead bike for their group should be aware of the importance of avoiding sudden changes in speed if at all possible, so as to reduce the risks to those following.
The rubber-band effect can be reduced by following these guidelines:
Lead Bike changes speed more gradually
All riders watch farther ahead than just the bike immediately in front of them in order to notice and to react quicker to changes in speed
All riders restrain the impulse to "crank it up" in order to quickly re-establish normal spacing.
Lead Bike does not increase speed within 15 seconds of entering a curve which may require braking or some slowing down to maneuver it safely.
All riders abandon the one-second spacing rule when riding twisties.

To fulfill the energy deficit in the country, PM Narendra Modi is willing to go green and emphasized on production of renewable energy like solar and wind power that too at affordable prices. He said that India is working with 50 countries to provide cheap electricity to the poor and in the remote areas. He acknowledged that still there are several regions of the country where power is more than 12 hours a day, and a lot is to be done to bridge the needs.
US President Barack Obama, on his visit to India, said that we can't fight against the adverse climatic changes taking place until developing countries like India focus more on renewable sources of energy. More than 60 percent of the electricity is generated from coal in India. Modi said that India has a lot of potentials to produce renewable energy, although they have been producing renewable energy in megawatts, but it needs to be provided in gigawatts to satisfy country's needs.
"The fruits of development will not reach the common man until energy reaches the last household of the country," Modi said. "In this age of globalization, we have no option but to make a quantum leap in energy production and connectivity."
He was proud to say that cost of electricity from solar photovoltaic cells has come down from Rs 20 per unit to Rs 7.50 per unit through research and innovation. However, more research is required to make it accessible to poor.
PM is planning to set up hybrid parks in the country for the generation of solar energy. In accordance with his mission, US may invest up to US $200 billion. Solar firms SunEdison and First Solar have also announced to build more than 20,000 megawatts of solar energy in India by 2022.
PM firmly believes that for India's development each and every citizen including poor should get 24-hour electricity supply, and renewable energy will not only bridge the energy deficit, but it will reduce the input costs for farmers.
His vision is also in accordance with the energy crises that will hit the doors in near future as according to a research coal will be vanished in next 40 years if used at the current rate. Coal being a non-renewable source of energy can't be produced again for next million years. Thus, we need an alternative and renewable energy like solar power, wind energy; hydro energy and biofuel seems to be the best bet.

Desperation is forcing a large percentage of Syrian expats to apply for work or visitation visas for relatives currently living as refugees in Jordan.
It is estimated close to 150,000 Syrian refugees who fled the violence in their home country are taking refuge in the city of Mafraq in northern Jordan.
There are no refugee camps along the border of Syria and Jordan, forcing refugees to rent homes. Those in need of financial assistance are forced to live in dire conditions, often without shelter. Their plight is made worse by the lack of official or voluntary aid organizations to help them.
"More than 35 percent of refugees have close relatives working in Saudi Arabia," Muhammad Al-Tarkawi, member of the Syrian National Council, told Arab News recently. "Efforts are currently underway to identify these refugees and to-date, 250 families have been found in Mafraq and have had their applications registered," he added. Visitation visas have already been issued to 10 percent of Syrian refugees living in Jordan.
"Syrian expats face difficulty getting visas for their relatives. Visas are generally issued to people with professions such as doctors and engineers, while those without professional qualifications are denied," Al-Tarkawi said. He commended the Kingdom's efforts to support the Syrian people in their struggle and has requested that all refugees with close relatives working in the Kingdom, be allowed to visit.

2013 Tokyo Motor Show Live – Honda MC-Beta
Shrawan Raja, I'm the Founder & CEO of IndianAutosBlog.com. I love teamwork and talking about cars.
At this year's Tokyo Motor Show, Honda is showing off an autonomous mobility device called Honda MC-Beta. The compact electric vehicle gets 1+1 seating, and a switchable rear seat to have two children seated, to suit the family man who has to drop off the kids at school on his way to work.
The vehicle is built on Honda's Variable Design Platform, in which the hardware components get fixed positions, and the body and the interior can change depending on the applications or needs.
The MC-Beta is driven by a 15 KW motor powered by a Lithium-Ion battery that gives it a range of 60 km and a top speed of 80 kph. The vehicle is about 98 inches long (8 inches shorter than a Smart ForTwo) and takes less than three hours to charge fully.
Honda will conduct field tests of the micro city commuter with governments in the Kumamoto Prefecture, Saitama City and Miyakojima City in Japan. Honda also have an eye on the L7 category of vehicles (quadricycles) in Europe to sell this vehicle. Apart from personal commuting, the MC-Beta can be used for home delivery services and car pooling.

We explore the connections between media literacy and computational thinking through an interview with computational thinker and advocate Robert M. Panoff from Shodor Education Foundation. This issue covers What is computational thinking? And, the intersections between computational thinking, journalism, and media literacy.
Navigating the media and information landscape of crowdfunded projects requires skills possessed by media literate consumers and producers. This issue examines the roles and motivations for crowdfunding as well as the social and political uses.
This issues examines the role of journalism in society and how the role is changing. Includes articles on Post-Industrial Journalism and Journalism and Public Participation in Democratic Discourse.
This issue explores the classroom and library activities of media literacy-oriented schools with information and interviews from the teachers and librarians themselves.
This issue offers a wide variety of resources for parents and educators interested in media literacy for early childhood education. We follow a team of library researchers who discover that the accessible information technologies are helpful but not sufficient to spur early literacy development, whereas parental involvement is crucial if young children are to acquire early literacy skills. We also review the research on the quality of literacy-focused applications for young children on the market today.
Active participation by citizens. Local community engagement. Expanding media access to all. Empowerment through education. Tackling tough issues in communities. Freedom of speech. Storytelling. Citizen journalism. Understanding media and how it operates. Where do all of these important undertakings – essential to media literacy -- happen? In community media centers around the U.S. and the world. In this issue we provide two case examples of community media centers and their commitment to media literacy education: one in Dublin, Ireland and one in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Since few adults in any part of the world grew up learning media literacy concepts or indeed, even knew the words "media literacy," there is a large gap in understanding about what media literacy is and why it is important. As digital media prevails more and more in most adults' lives, the imperative for media literacy has become more urgent, and there is more recognition of the need for media literacy education. Includes reports from Australia, UK, and US.
Media literacy is now recognized as a skill-set that should be at the center of education today – but change management continues to be needed to realize this vision. John Kotter, a professor at Harvard Business School and a change management expert, introduced a series of eight steps – considered classics -- in his 1995 book, "Leading Change." New media tools can amplify these steps towards faster adoption of new ideas and processes. Includes an interview with leaders of NAMLE.
In 2006 Henry Jenkins published a white paper identifying the challenges and opportunities for media literacy in our 21st century media culture. Since then, new ideas, new technologies, and new names have emerged bringing with them misunderstandings and rifts among educators. It's time to reflect on where we've been and where we are now.

How big is ObamaCare in this year's midterms? More than 80 percent of respondents in a new poll conducted by the Pew Research Center for USA Today said that a candidate's stance on the troubled health law is important to them, with 54 percent saying it is "very important." The worst news for Democrats is that among the majority of registered voters who said the law was "very important," there were twice as many opponents as there were supporters. Overall, support for the signature Obama initiative, which pairs expanded welfare and entitlement programs with far-reaching regulations on health insurance, fell to 37 percent. That's the lowest level since the summer after the law was passed in 2010 when incumbents' town halls across the country erupted with ObamaCare outrage. The takeaway: The electoral climate this year is defined by ObamaCare and the forecast is getting worse for Democrats.
Dems need to scare up a stampede – Some race watchers may deduce from the poll that the constant efforts by President Obama and his fellow Democrats to frighten and mobilize base voters will be inadequate in the face of an overall political climate as dire as the one described by the Pew/USA Today poll. But the survey actually shows the importance of efforts to provoke a stampede of liberals to the polls. With centrist voters trending away from Democrats and a majority of independents beyond the reach of Democratic pleas for more mercy on the law, an agitated Democratic base could make the difference between just losing the Senate majority and a rout. If the GOP gets a major wave going, it could Republicans in a place to actually pass legislation rather than just blocking Obama's efforts.
