Seeking to actively engage and move audiences on human rights issues, the Human Rights Arts & Film Festival (HRAFF) is thrilled to announce its 2015 program, which includes 31 feature films, 18 shorts, 15 forums, five exhibitions, and the 2014 Sundance Candescent Award-winning Marmato. Taking centre stage as the spotlight film at this year's Festival, Marmato is a gripping documentary about the Columbian mountain village, which sits on top of one of the world's last reserves of gold. As a wealthy and powerful global mining company threatens to tear the mountain down, the people of Marmato fight to save their identity and 500 years of cultural heritage.
The Festival opens with I Will Not Be Silenced, the true story of Australian Charlotte Campbell Stephen, who, after being raped by a gang of men while living in Kenya in 2006, embarks on a seven-year struggle through the frustrating labyrinth of Kenya's legal system. Undaunted, Charlotte continues to seek justice, becoming involved in advocacy groups and bringing hope to Nairobi's many rape victims. This potent, shocking and moving film is a story of an indomitable spirit and female solidarity. Charlotte Campbell Stephen and director Judy Rymer will attend the screening, which will be followed by a Q&A.
The Festival closes with The Beekeeper. Bees have been a constant throughout Ibrahim Gezer's life, from upheaval and war in his homeland to his new home in Switzerland. Set in the stunning vista of the Swiss Alps, The Beekeeper is a beautiful human portrait of a remarkable individual who draws comfort and wisdom from bees.
Other program highlights include Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story, which explores how much food we actually waste and its global impact; Ivory Tower, a fascinating documentary about the student debt crisis in America and its implications for higher education; and Pervert Park, which explores the daily life of 120 registered sex offenders in a halfway house in Florida. This bold, innovative and important documentary provides a deeper context and contemplation on an issue too often ignored.
For the first time HRAFF presents The Breakfast Sessions in Melbourne this year—four forums over two weekends on topics at the forefront of the human rights debate, including domestic violence, climate change, refugees and women's rights. Looking to offer fresh perspectives and new insights, panels have been assembled to bring a variety of opinions, knowledge and expertise. Breakfast will be available at these sessions, which take place on 9-10 and 16-17 May between 10-11am at ACMI's Optic Kitchen and Bar. Registration for these sessions is essential.
The Festival opens in Melbourne on 7 May then tours nationally to Sydney, Canberra, Perth, Brisbane, Alice Springs and Darwin.

Research Interests
Organometallics and Catalysis
Enhancing the economic viability and energy efficiency of chemical transformations is of fundamental importance in the chemicals industry today. Organometallic catalysts are an important means of providing new and highly efficient routes for chemical processes, and the development of new transition metal catalysts for promoting the synthesis of key compounds is a major goal in the development of synthetic routes with minimum energy use. Our research program has made contributions to the design of new metal complexes for promoting key chemical reactions, and to the development of new methodologies for catalysed synthetic routes including the fundamentally important C-X bond forming reactions and multistep reactions. The work has provided new insights into highly accessible and efficient metal catalysts, including multimetallic systems. The work will ultimately improve the viability of the synthesis of important biologically active molecules and pharmaceuticals in the fine chemicals industry. In promoting the development of advanced NMR techniques in organometallic chemistry, our research has led to wider insights into catalyst structure and function.
Catalysing the synthesis of Heterocycles and Amines;
- the formation of C-X bonds in heterocycles (X=N,O,S) via hydramination, hydroalkoxylation and hydrothiolation
- the synthesis of amines via the hydrosilation and hydrogenation of imines
Novel Organometallic Complexes;
- Rh, Ir, Ru, and Fe complexes with mixed donor ligands (N donors, N-heterocyclic carbenes, phosphines)
- immobilization of transition metal catalysts on carbon surfaces via robust C-C bonds
New Approaches to Catalysed Multistep processes;
- Two Step Dihydroalkoxylation
- Tandem C−N and C−C bond formation
- Tandem Hydroamination/Hydrosilation
Multimetallic Catalysts;
- Mixtures of catalysts for enhancing two step reactions
- Bimetallic complexes with pairs of complexes held together on structurally constrained organic scaffolds
NMR Spectroscopy for Structure and Mechanism in Organometallic chemistry.
- Para-Hydrogen NMR for Signal Enhancement
- NMR methods for structure analysis and determining mechanism in organometallic reaction pathways

Lachung is an ideal destination if you wish to just laze around and enjoy the pristine scenery. HolidayIQ Traveller Atul Tulsian from Lucknow shares, "Lachung is a destination where one can take a ride with nature at its best, I have visited most of the hills in India and found Lachung ideal for regular travelers who wants to experience of adventure as roads are not smooth but as soon you progress your journey you feels that some extraordinary natural valley is approaching to embrace you."
Ziro has its charms but when it has absolutely nothing on its list of 'must -do' things which is just perfect to chill with a rice beer, which is a local speciality. HolidayIQ Traveller Sunil Yadav from Sitapur shares, "An amazing experience altogether. Ziro located in mountain is so beautiful and cool. Loved the place. The Shiv Linga located on the mountain top is a must watch for sure. Beautiful scenery and a pleasing environment. It was good to be for sure."
Beautiful beaches, a hint of spirituality and hippies culture, are some of the things that make Varkala one of the most ideal places to relax in India. HolidayIQ Traveller Jose from Achhnera shares, "Varkala is indeed a beautiful place. I recommend this destination for anyone who wants to kick back and have fun or just relax. There are so many facilities, including Ayurveda which is very calming. As I only spent 2 days there, I was not able to visit all the places of historical importance. But the places that I had visited were also very beautiful. A lovely place indeed."
Get away from the hustle and bustle of the world - no TV, no AC or any other entertainment gadgets to distract you. Laze on the beach, take in the wonderful views and just relax. The world can function without you for a few days. HolidayIQ Traveller Soumya Reddy from Bangalore shares, "Gokarna is one of the best places to vacation and it's a favorite on my list. I can keep coming to this place for vacation and never get bugged. You can take boat to three islands located nearby and good for shopping too. If looking for a relaxed holiday, then this is the place to be."
Set amidst imposing mountains, gushing rivers and magnificent canyons, Spiti is indeed a land of stunning beauty. HolidayIQ Traveller Aman Kishore from Delhi shares, "Its simple another world, close to your world. Another life existence, if you love to explore, see place and meet people. You have to be there. It's an amalgamation of rich culture and existence of civilization in any condition. It's about beautiful landscapes and lovely people. It's about huts which are more comfortable than any luxury resort. It's about home cooked meals and alcohol. If you are explorer, then you must go!"
Binsar is a small town in the state of Uttarakhand and is located amidst dense green forests. Binsar is also an ideal place to catch a glimpse of some of the most beautiful peaks of the mighty Himalayas. HolidayIQ Traveller Praful from Agra shares, "There is not much to do in and around Binsar. However, if you are looking for some light trekking and offbeat areas to explore, then, this should be the destination for you. The best part about this place is that there is never any crowds and it is not corrupted like other hill stations where everyone is simply after your money."
The French have mastered the art of doing things at a leisurely phase while the rest of the world has adopted frenzy. Take a lesson, slow down, take your time to appreciate French architecture while sipping coffee. HolidayIQ Traveller Anulal Surendran from Delhi shares, "Pondicherry is place where you can feel french culture and architecture in India. The place is very neat, calm and quiet. In a traveler's point of view, the place is collection of tourist attractions range from Indian to foreign culture."
Gavi is darned with mild weather and the temperature is usually low throughout the year. HolidayIQ Traveller Anooj says, "If you want to be away from the maddening crowd and unwind yourself under the canopy of tropical evergreen forests, we strongly recommend Gavi in Idukki District in Kerala. Entry to Gavi is highly restricted as it is a part of the Periyar Tiger Reserve in Kerala and prior permission from the forest department is required to enter Gavi."
Mount Abu is the only hill station in Rajasthan and guarantees peace. HolidayIQ Traveller Chintan Prajapati from Ahmedabad shares, "Its having mountains which are directly connected to the clouds. Its having good atmosphere. Polo ground, lucky lake, sunset point, shikhar etc things are you should see. Food are much costly than elsewhere. Its double rate. Some hotels are providing good food. Food mostly contains aloo paratha. Trekking activity is good."
Enjoy the laid back, lazy ambiance of Pushkar and there are many cafes here where you can relax and catch-up on that book you couldn't finish earlier. HolidayIQ Traveller Mandeep Singh shares, "Pushkar provides the best Aravalli has to offer. During monsoons low hanging clouds and waterfalls flowing what else can you expect from Rajasthan. Pushkar does not have much to offer as sightseeing except Brahma temple, Rangji Temple, Nag pahari and the Pushkar Lake. But has a lot to offer if you are a foodie all cuisines ranging from punjabi to italian are available here and that too at affordable prices with authentic taste. And the one not to miss is the famous Malpua opposite to Gau ghat. Market has on offer products ranging from leather goods to mystical stones and harem pants, all kind of incense and not to forget the psychedelic paintings which makes you trip with Indian trance playing around."

In 1891 Flinders Petrie, an eminent archaeologist, travelled to the temple of Aten at Tell-el-Amarna in Egypt, supported by a team of local and British researchers. Following months of excavations they discovered a 300-square-foot New Kingdom (c. 1500 BC) painted pavement of garden and animals and hunting scenes.

You are in a single enclosed room in a space station with a variety of buttons that control video (including recording and playback), temperature, self-destruct, and so on.
Each playthrough is short, but it will take a lot of work to get it right.
The game is funny and enjoyable.
On a side note, I always thought the cover art was a hunched monster with its head on backwards, but I think it's actually a brain-like monster on an asteroid.

Sparring partners
The relationship between word and image throughout history has been one of multiple tensions and exclusions. Unlike the Chinese written character that combines both 'verbal' and 'visual' signifiers – "the form of the character for 'garden' suggests a closed space with lakes, hills and pavilions"[1] – the relation between the word and image in the West has generally been an agonistic one. In the Eastern Church during the eighth and ninth centuries, known as the period of iconoclasm, a privileging of verbal over visual representations of sacred narratives took place. In Jewish and Islamic cultures, the prohibition of images continues to this day. One of the consequences of this antagonism has been the attribution of greater authority to words and the credence in their greater efficacy at performing narrative or explanatory functions. Rare are the instances where words have been denigrated at the expense of images throughout an entire culture.[2]
But the long history between word and image has not always been exclusively one of exclusions or subordinations. In the Middle Ages, the history and traditions of Christianity were addressed by way of image and word. Words assumed a central position: "word made flesh and dwelt among us."[3] As a consequence, artists who chose to illustrate a Christian event or idea would introduce the word upon the surface of the artwork. Later, in the Renaissance, even though words did not appear on the surface of the artwork, they were implicit, an "ineluctable part of the experience"[4] as religious, but also classical narratives, were being disseminated for the first time by way of print. In Chinese art, scrolls are inscribed with acknowledgements that help shape the viewer's appreciation of the image. Modern Chinese artists continue this practice. The Pre-Raphaelites used to inscribe the title of the work in the frame specifically designed by the artist for his painting. Then there is the case of the exhibition catalogue, introduced, it is believed, around 1798, the year that the Royal Academy in London allowed the inclusion of catalogues as explanatory or supplementary material to what was being seen, not to mention labels…
But for the greater part, the principle that affirmed the separation between word and image reigned, particularly between the fifteenth to the twentieth century. This principle established the separation between the visual representation (connected to the idea of verisimilitude) and linguistic representation (unbound by it). The two systems could not meet or mix. When they did, the relation was determined by some form of subordination, a hierarchy, intentionally disrupted in the twentieth century. To a certain extent, artists working in the twentieth century brought back the age-old connect between drawing and writing, referring to the written word not only as a means of transcribing speech, but as a double reality, gifted with a visual existence, a plasticity of its own.[5] The word was treated as a threshold, a connect to life, a bridge between sight and sound, an exciting point of encounter. Think Paul Klee or Stéphane Mallarmé, who treated the word as a visual sign and the space of the page as an integral part of the poem. Amongst the cubists, Braque was the first to use commercial type: the word "BAL" and the number "10,40" in Le Portugais. Analogously, Picasso in Ma Jolie introduced commercial type, intensifying the distortions of analytical cubism. The fifty-two papiers collés he produced between 1912-13, interestingly enough, were culled, according to Patricia Leighten, from headlines about the Balcan wars the political and economic state of Europe.[6] One might argue, as she does, that this was his way of pointing to his social milieu and signaling his commitment to antimilitarism. Kurt Schwitters "persistently interwove textual and visual elements in both his poems and his collages."[7] In his work, text and image are bought together not to identify, but "to spark off multiple meanings through associations".[8] Schwitters operated by inversion, dissociating textual elements from their habitual contexts, so that we would see these elements pictorially, but also the opposite, so that we would 'read' his pictorial elements. He encouraged viewers to associate and dissociate, to look for the sensible in the nonsensical and the representational in the abstract.[9]
After 1945, with the rise of mass-produced commodities and packaging, artists across the Atlantic began to respond to consumption and the false resolution and dialectic between word and image contained in advertising.[10] In England, Richard Hamilton was proposing "a topography of the dark side" of the aesthetics of plenty[11] and in France, artists working with décollage sought to "disrupt the sensible interlocking of image and text," denouncing commodity culture and the unwelcome Americanization of French popular culture.[12] Others, like Jasper Johns and Robert Morris, "(pressed) the spectator to consider the act of looking as an experience profoundly determined by language."[13] Jenny Holzer and Barbara Kruger, somewhat later, employed the word to develop a public voice, mimicking mass media and its reach. In doing this, they were among the first to reconsider the mode of distribution of art, working outside the conventional gallery space and exploiting the urban public space as a site for their practice. It would be fair to say that today, hegemony lies neither with the image or the written or oral word, but perhaps with the interface, the amalgamation and superimposition that new technologies have created.

Youth USROWING Compliance
What is required for rowing at CBRC?
CBRC requires that each participant in our youth rowing programs has a paid
Championship membership with USROWING and has signed an online USROWING waiver. It is also a required component for participating in most
local regattas.
Additionally, CBRC must collect a paper version of the US Rowing waiver to turn in at some regattas.
Download the paper waiver here 2020 USROWING Waiver.
USROWING Club Roster Code:
HGMV6 (all caps, case sensitive)
You will need this code when you register with USROWING.
USROWING Championship membership is required for all regattas ($45 for youth).
Paid memberships are good for one year from the date of purchase.
The USROWING Liability waiver is a separate but related component to USROWING membership. Having your waiver signed and a USROWING
membership is required by most regattas for participation. It proves you are covered under USROWING liability insurance and understand the risks of the sport.
You will be prompted to sign the waiver whenever you create a new or renew an existing Championship membership.
Waivers expire with the calendar year and not a year from the date you created/renewed your membership. So once a calendar year you'll need to go in and sign your waiver. Likely your coach will prompt you to get this done!
How can I create/renew my membership and sign my waiver?
USROWING has a one stop shop for most of your membership and waiver needs online here.
From the USROWING membership page you can:
- Renew your membership
- Become a new member
- Sign your waiver
- Retreive past membership numbers
If all you need to do is sign your waiver you can use the USROWING Online Waiver to sign.
If you have any questions please feel free ask your coach or send an email to:

Government Should Establish Program to Reduce Juvenile Crime
Juvenile crime is increasing rapidly and is a problem that plagues America. The murder rate by 18 year olds has increased 467% since 1965! The current policy maintained for the last number of decades is clearly not effective. An increase of 207% in the number of murder cases committed by 15 year olds from 1985 to 1993 is not a sign that current policy is effective. Changes must be made. The best way to address the problem is through government funded preventative programs. The affirmative intends to prove, and stands resolved, that the federal government should establish a program to substantially reduce juvenile crime.
This, by definition, means that the federal government would benefit the country by taking action and making government programs that will decrease the number of crimes committed by minors. Contention I: The status quo is only harming the people of the united states by remaining. Subpoint A: It has become clear that the state and local governments have failed in correcting the nation wide epidemic of juvenile crime, since juvenile crime rates are rising so rapidly. Subpoint 1:An example of an ineffective state plan is that many states are attempting to incarcerate juveniles along with adults. Putting juvenile offenders in with adults increases their chances offending again when they are released by 65%. Subpoint 2: SHOCAP, a local crime reduction plan, was shut down because it was ineffective. Subpoint B: Local plans are too diverse and lack uniformity. Subpoint 1: A plan that can lift up the entire country are far superior to those that can only effect small parts.. Iowa may indeed have smaller problems than New York but Juvenile crime exists everywhere. Subpoint 2:In the hands of the federal government, a more effective, tax worthy and moral shaping plan can be spread throughout the entire united states and benefit the country as a whole. Utilizing this information from the faults and few successes of the states, will help correctly fund and perfect an active plan which will indeed begin to substantially reduce juvenile crime, before it happens...through the methods of prevention.
The plan that we the affirmative propose is one that institutes a combination of different preventative programs which the federal government will entirely set up, fund, and work with these community efforts.
Plank I: This preventative program will be funded through the organization of juvenile justice and delinquency prevention program, a federal agency which consists of 17 separate groups involved in delinquency prevention. They are equipped with 144 million dollars with which they can assist the communities to create these life saving programs. Money will come both from them and federal government funding. The government pays money to the states to use their own programs to diminish juvenile crime, but because this has proven ineffective through the rising juvenile crime rates, this money can be better used on federal programs. We must recognize how much this problem is hurting us, and be prepared to pay taxes . But with the help of the organization of juvenile justice, the taxes should be minimal.
Plank II: The OJJDP will encourage these preventative plans with and through the federal government to the states. This organization will consist of the current members, plus volunteers and paid officials who will work in communities all over the U.S.
Plank III: Mandates
Mandate 1. Schools will teach choice exercises, discourage violence and teach law and consequences to younger children in public elementary schools all over the country. It is obvious from the crime rates that children are not learning simple morals in their homes! Materials would be supplied through the federal government. This method which will help the youth of tomorrow to think about situations before impulsively acting on them.
Mandate 2. "Street workers"...

According to Toyota, only five percent of Fortuner buyers opted for the gas-powered model towards the end of the previous generation's life cycle. Perhaps it's a bit of a surprise Toyota even bothered to offer a 2.7 VVT-i for the latest iteration of the Fortuner.
With the rest of the competition offering diesels only, what exactly is the point of offering a gas option in a pickup platform vehicle?
Still, this is the Fortuner, and five percent of a model that sells about 2000 a month is still about 100 customers. In a year, that's 1200. That's still a significant number, and perhaps that's why a gasoline model makes sense.
Sporting a rather elegant shade of Phantom Brown, the new Fortuner is a good looking SUV. It looks sharp up front with those slim headlights and creases on the lower half of the bumper. The side features an interesting window-line that kicks upwards towards the rear, giving it a coke-bottle look that highlights the rear quarter panel. As far as the rear goes, it gets slim tail lights to match its headlights, making it a cohesive design, from my point of view at least. As someone who regularly drives a previous gen model, our 2006 Fortuner looks decidedly ancient.
If you're coming from a previous generation Fortuner, you could say this new one has come leaps and bounds with its interior. No longer a sea of hard plastic, Toyota had made an effort to uplift the feel and quality of the dashboard and door panels. Seats are much improved too, now featuring softer cushion and better bolstering.
It's nice that Toyota included a touchscreen as standard but odd that they deleted automatic climate control for the G variant. Just to compare, our family's 2006 model had them standard. Instead, you get a trio of dials that control the air-conditioning which looks out of place in this otherwise well-designed interior. Manual air-conditioning aside, the 10 year gap between the old and new models is clearly seen and felt with this one.
One thing I do appreciate is the spring-loaded third-row seats. In our 2006 Fortuner, stowing away the third-row involves hopping inside, lifting the heavy seats and hooking it on the ceiling grab handle while blurting out expletives. Here, just let the springs to the lifting and latch it on the D-pillar panel.
Under the hood is the familiar 2TR-FE engine with a displacement of 2.7 liters. Power is still rated at 163 PS and 245 Nm of torque. While it sounds like a carryover of a decade old engine, Toyota did add Dual VVT-i and pair it with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Upon startup, it's quieter than the single VVT-i engine in the previous generation and smoother on acceleration. Being a gas model, there was only little intrusion from engine vibration and NVH (Noise Vibration and Harshness) levels are noticeably lower compared to the older model. On that basis, the Fortuner 2.7G feels like a solid choice but not quite enough to sway you out of the diesel.
For starters, fuel economy is significantly down from the diesel with my worst average at 5.5 kilometers per liter at an average speed of 16 km/h. It does improve marginally once metro traffic gets moving, mustering 6.4 kilometers per liter at an average speed of 18 kilometers per liter. Economy went up to 7.3 kilometers per liter when faced with moderate traffic around the city. When we tested the Fortuner 2.4V (diesel), it averaged 10.5 kilometers per liter on Normal mode and moderate traffic.
Power for the gas Fortuner could best be described as adequate for most. It somewhat struggles to carry the extra weight this new model gained, especially in Eco mode. Put it in Normal mode and response is slightly better, if still a little sluggish. Sport mode adds a bit of zip when accelerating although at the expense of poor fuel economy. Drive it like you have relatives at the back and the gas Fortuner picks up speed decently.
As for its ride, the common point of criticism for the old model, it's slightly better but still feels stiff at the rear. However, it's a much smoother ride when you're seated in front. As for steering, it feels light with a bit of slack when the wheels are pointed straight. Handling was never a Fortuner strong suit but this one feels more maneuverable and lighter on its feet. Not bad considering it gained a bit of weight. It would have been better if the engine had a little more grunt.
At Php 1,392,000, it's not exactly the value leader in its segment. In the G trim level, you get halogen lights, the aforementioned manual climate control and smaller wheels. It also lacks parking sensors, a reverse camera, traction control and stability control which are standard for some of the Fortuner's contemporaries in lower trim levels. It does have an interesting safety feature that cuts out engine power if you mash the gas and brake pedal at the same time.
So, why buy the gas Fortuner? The Fortuner 2.7G caters to a small part of the PPV market that are still averse to diesel power. Testing it back to back with the 2.4V, the 2.7G was noticeably more refined as it sent less vibrations into the cabin. For some, that may be enough who want or need a large seven seater, even if it comes at the cost of fuel economy. Plus, the Fortuner traits are kept intact such as the high ground clearance and rugged chassis. What you end up with is a sturdy, robust PPV without the clatter.

Czech Friends of Nature met in the Highlands
Undeterred by October weather vagaries
Nove Mesto na Morave, Czechia (12 Oct 2015) - The fourth annual national tourist and sightseeing adventure weekend called Meeting of the Friends of Nature, organized by the association of the same name, was held on the second weekend in October near Nove Mesto na Morave in the Vysocina (Highlands) region of Czechia. Over thirty representatives of the association's local groups from different parts of the country headed out here for their local colleagues on a four-day event to meet old and new faces and to gain good ideas and tips for their activities. Many already knew each other from previous annual meetings, taking place from 2012, always in the spot where a group of Friends of Nature is active.
From Thursday to Sunday, each participant had a program of his/her own choice. The menu consisted of hiking trips in the surroundings of Nove Mesto, interesting excursions, including the nuclear power plant in Dukovany or Dalesice brewery. In evenings, Friends of Nature gathered to sit with live accompaniment of amateur musicians, with the opportunity to informally make contacts and arrange cooperation in specific projects and events. And before on Sunday noon the goodbyes were said and the participants headed home, they ended their annual meeting with a city tour in Nove Mesto with a native guide from themselves.
In frame of the Meeting, also the general assembly took place with a workshop on opportunities for action of the local groups, exchange of good practice and experience. After the general assembly, the association has a new leadership that will strive to raise awareness of Friends of Nature as an attractive brand for leisure time in nature for all generations.
"I must say that our members enjoy not only working within a local group where they know each other well. The past four years of our meetings proved that they have the desire to meet with like-minded people from elsewhere of Czechia and to inspire each other. It was not rare that from the contacts established at the meeting a joint event, but also personal friendships have developed." explained the spirit of Meetings of the Friends of Nature the national chairman Hynek Pecinka.
This Meeting took place at really unpredictable weather - participants experienced rain, fog and drizzle, bright sky with the sun and also wind and temperatures near zero. Just four days in the Highlands and each of them different. Candidates for next year's national Meeting are already known. They are Olomouc and Jablonec nad Nisou. In both cities, Czech Friends of Nature have a strong presence and have something to offer. One thing is clear - it will be really hard to choose between them.

1995 Honda EXP2
( I am being a little lazy, this is a rehash of a story I wrote a couple of years ago, but with the latest Honda Dakar announcement, the topic has been brought to life once more)
Now that we have word of the 2013 Honda Dakar rally bike, I thought I would take the chance to pose this question again. Where is our great Honda rally adventure bike?
Is the 2013 Honda rally bike going to be something all new? Is Honda going to get back to it's roots of making the most technologically advanced motorcycles in the world? Will they do it just to show the world that it can be done? Isn't that what Mr Honda and HRC were really all about? Or are we just going to see a rehashed CRF450x?
My magic cube is telling me that it is going to be a 450x. The reasons are practical and economically compelling. JCR Honda has just spent two years working on the Dakar challenge. With a minimal budget and mash up of parts they put together a reasonably competitive package. More importantly, it was a very reliable bike.
Honda just needs to just expand on those ideas, using the might of HRC to bring it together as a complete concept. For the job at hand, the X motor is probably still competitive. Although, now that we have gotten a better look at the KTM Rally motor in the 2012 Baja bikes, we know that they are making far more horsepower. Honda, is that a challenge I hear knocking at the door?
All of the current Dakar front runners are shying away from fuel injection. Old fashioned carburetors are still the most reliable system when the conditions get their worst. One would have to imagine that Honda would not set out to build a new motor without EFI. So score one more point in favor of using the current motor.
Honda has a basic frame design for the rally bike also. Quinn Cody's Dakar bike simply used the factory Baja spec frame. It uses the old 2007 spec geometry that is a bit more stable than the current production 450x. It also has all the light and fairing mounts built into it. The subframe needs some work to handle all the extra fuel load, but that is an easy enough task. There are at least two aftermarket companies building complete rally kits for the X, so there is plenty of existing R&D to draw from in making a full factory spec rally bike.
Alas, if I am on target, that means there will never be a production version of such a bike. No rally racer refugee with a license plate for the street. Let's face it, that is what we all really want. A road going version of a Dakar bike. How can it possibly be that not a single bike manufacturer in the entire world can produce such a thing for the flocks of dedicated enthusiasts?
Hear my call – Honda, please get back to your roots of technical prowess and give us something to be shocked and astounded by.
If you want to hear more such sob stories, go visit your local Honda dealer and ask about what exciting new products they have to offer for 2013.

No doubt this is Deepika would've spent with Ranveer Singh on the sets on one of his films. One can only wonder whether it has anything to do with Anushka Sharma's presence. The movie is directed by Zoya Akhtar and also actors Anil Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar and Shefali Shah.

Asbestos Claims Lawyer in Houston & Midland
Call (281) 280-8900 If You Have Been Exposed to Asbestos
Asbestos is heavily regulated throughout numerous industries due to its carcinogenic properties, and it is also banned from most usages in several countries worldwide. Industries in America, however, can still use asbestos in various projects, such as construction, manufacturing, and different forms of insulation. If you think you have been exposed to asbestos, despite being in a modern building, you are probably not mistaken.
Contact Dean Law Firm and our Houston asbestos attorney if you have experienced unexplained illnesses since coming in contact with asbestos. If it can be determined that there is a link between your health issues and asbestos exposure, we can file a claim against the party responsible for using the material.
Call (281) 280-8900 to learn more about our legal services and your options.
What Does Asbestos Exposure Do?
Asbestos is a thin, microfiber mineral that is relatively harmless in normal situations, even safe to touch. It becomes extremely dangerous after it has become broken apart and invisible filaments fill the air; due to the fragile nature of asbestos, it is prone to breaking and shedding pieces in light breezes. When people in the area breathe, the microfilaments are swept up in their breath, even when wearing respirators and breathing apparatuses. The eventual buildup of countless tiny fragments of asbestos in the lungs increases the risk of lung cancer and mesothelioma.
Conditions or symptoms caused by asbestos exposure include:
- Shortness of breath
- Whooping cough
- Kidney failure
- Dramatic weight loss
- Exhaustion
- Blood in mouth
- Facial swelling
Treatments for Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other consequences of frequent asbestos exposure require thorough and costly treatments. Many patients need to use multiple x-rays, CT scans, and other advanced procedures to pinpoint the location of their cancerous growths. Surgery may be necessary, or lifelong treatments to alleviate some of the symptoms. In any situation, the overall expense can be too great for an individual's finances. A lawsuit is often necessary to collect compensation that makes treatment affordable.
We Have Won Millions for Our Clients
Taking on a company that has exposed you to asbestos can be an uphill battle if you choose to begin it alone. When you work with our Houston asbestos claims attorney from Dean Law Firm, you empower yourself with a true defender of the peoples' rights and well being.

Exclusive Use and Occupancy of the Marital Residence
Exclusive use and occupancy of the marital residence means that one spouse is legally granted the right to remain in the marital residence to the exclusion of the other. This exclusion is typically granted in an application (motion) to the court on a temporary basis until the divorce is finalized.
The basis for granting this relief is to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of one spouse when they have been subjected to a tumultuous relationship. Another reason for granting this relief is when one spouse has voluntarily left the marital residence and established a new place of abode. In this situation the law recognizes that divorcing couples should be afforded the right to live an independent life, free to establish new relationships and enjoy their right to privacy unhindered by interference of the other spouse. These applications cannot be taken lightly, especially when there are minor children involved; depending on who is excluded can mean all the difference if child custody is also an issue in the marriage.
Whether you are faced with this issue or contemplating such an application, at the Law Offices of David Smoren, PLLC we have successfully handled all aspects of applications involving exclusive use and occupancy of the marital residence.
Call us today at 718 225-6700 for a free phone consultation, or to arrange for a comprehensive office consultation to discuss your options or simply post a comment or question on the contact form.

An Overview of Contesting OSHA Violations
By: Charles B. Jimerson, Esq. & Jennifer Proscia
An inspector from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") just visited your premises and issued you, the employer, one or more citations detailing the nature of each violation committed and any associated penalties. You may be wondering what your options are to contest the citations and if there are any ways to reduce or completely eliminate the fines that may be associated with those citations. The procedure of formally contesting an OSHA citation is relatively straightforward, however if you do not abide by the strict deadlines associated with that procedure, you can lose the right to contest the citation, or worse the citation will become final and you will be forced to pay the penalty. As an employer who has received a citation, you may agree to the citation, correct the condition by the date set in the citation, and pay any penalty that is proposed, or you may send in writing a Notice of Intent to Contest of the citation, proposed penalty and/or the abatement date within fifteen (15) working days of receiving the citation.
Procedure for Contesting a Violation
Before making the decision on whether to file a Notice of Intent to Contest, an employer may request an informal conference with the OSHA Area Director to discuss the Citation and Notification of Penalty in more detail. At this informal conference, some of the remedies an employer may discuss are a negotiation for an informal settlement agreement, ways to correct violations, proposed abatement dates, etc. When negotiating the settlement of a penalty, OSHA maintains a policy of reducing penalties for "small employers" and those employers "acting in good faith." However, an informal conference must still be held within the fifteen working-day Notice of Intent to Contest period and will not act to extend the period or take place of filing the written Notice of Intent to Contest. If a contest is filed properly, it suspends an employer's legal obligation to abate and pay the penalties until the item contested has been resolved. SeeOSHA Employer Rights and Responsibilities Pamphlet.
Any employer to whom a citation or notice of proposed penalty has been issued may notify the Area Director in writing that he or she intends to contest such citation or proposed penalty before the Review Commission. What makes this step in the procedure a problem for many employers is that the notice must be postmarked within fifteen (15) working days of receiving the notice of proposed penalty. Each notice of intention to contest must stipulate whether it is directed toward the citation or toward the proposed penalty, or both. It must also state whether all of the violations on the citation or just certain violations are being contested. Immediately after receiving the notice to contest, the Area Director will transmit such notice to the Review Commission in accordance with the rules of procedure prescribed by the Commission. The same deadlines apply to any employee or representative of employees of an employer who wishes to allege that the period of time fixed in the citation for the abatement of the violation is unreasonable. 29 C.F.R. § 1903.17. However, if the employer fails to send the required notice to the Area Director within fifteen working days from the receipt of the citation, and no notice is filed by an employee or representative of employees, the citation and the assessment of penalty, will be deemed a final order and not subject to review by any court or agency. 29 U.S.C.A. § 659.
Once a proper Notice of Intent to Contest is filed, the OSHA Area Director will transfer the employer's case to the Occupational Safety & Health Review Commission ("OSHRC"). The OSHRC hears employer contests of OSHA violations and assigns the case to an administrative law judge ("ALJ") who will then schedule a hearing. This hearing resembles a regular trial, including examination and cross-examination of witnesses, and is open to both employers and employees. Once the ALJ makes a ruling, the employer may request a further review by the OSHRC and if still not satisfied after the OSHRC's ruling, may appeal to the Federal circuit court in which the case arose or the Federal circuit court where the employer has his or her principal office. SeeOSHA Employer Rights and Responsibilities Pamphlet.
What if your Notice is Untimely?
Although OSHA regulations are very stringent in regard to filing deadlines and enforcement procedures, a few courts have found untimely Notices of Intent to Contest to be "excusable" under certain circumstances. One of these situations is when the violation was due to the Secretary of Labor's "deception or failure" to follow appropriate procedures. Atl. Marine, Inc. v. Occupational Safety & Health Review Comm'n, 524 F.2d 476, 477 (5th Cir. 1975). The court in Atlantic Marine held that held that a "powerful argument" can be made that a petitioner should not be completely denied review of a Citation of Violation for not having filed a Notice of Intent to Contest within the 15-day limit stated in the Act if the Secretary of Labor's "deception or failure to follow proper procedures is responsible for the late filing." In that case, some of the instances of the Secretary of Labor's non-compliance asserted by the petitioners included:
(i) during negotiation of the settlement concerning the first citation, they were led to believe by the Secretary that the six months it would take for the required safety equipment to be delivered was satisfactory, (ii) the Secretary failed to advise the petitioners of continuing violation immediately after the reinspection, in violation of the Secretary's own regulations, 29 CFR s 1903.7(e), (iii) the Secretary did not issue the Notification of Failure to Correct and of Proposed Additional Penalty "with reasonable promptness" (it was issued 41 days after the reinspection) as required by 29 U.S.C.A. s 658(a), and (iv) the Secretary failed to serve the petitioners' counsel of record with the Notification of Failure to Correct Violations and Proposed Additional Penalties, in violation of 29 CFR s 2200.7(b).
SeeAtl. Marine, Inc., 524 F.2d. at 477.
Another situation in which filing an untimely Notice of Contest may be exempted, is if the petitioner can prove "excusable neglect." When determining whether a party's neglect is "excusable," the determination is an "equitable" one, in which a court must take into account all pertinent circumstances surrounding a party's failure to file on time, and failing to disprove "reasonable control" is not automatically fatal to a petitioner's request for relief. George Harms Const. Co. v. Chao, 371 F.3d 156 (3d Cir. 2004). The court in George Harms Const. Co. found that the loss of OSHA citations in an otherwise reliable mail-handling process was "unforeseeable human error beyond company's reasonable control." It also held that the petitioner was entitled to relief from the "final order" of the Commission, since factors of "good faith, prejudice, efficient judicial administration, and control all weighed in favor of company" after the petitioner produced testimony as to the company's credible mail handling procedure. However, other courts have pointed out that in such scenarios, there must be specific evidence provided by the employer to show how this error occurred in order for this relief to be considered. SeeArch of Kentucky, Inc. v. Dir., Office of Workers' Comp. Programs, 556 F.3d 472 (6th Cir. 2009).
When faced with an OSHA citation and/or penalty, it is important to know the procedure of contesting such a citation and penalty in order to avoid the serious consequences of having to pay unreasonable fines. Although limited in scope, there are still a few scenarios to suggest that an employer may have a claim to either contest or modify penalties resulting from OSHA violations, after the 15 day period provided by OSHA regulations. However, since those situations are so limited, the most important step when issued a citation is to file a Notice of Intent to Contest within the fifteen working-day period and subsequently avoid the difficult process of having to prove why your untimeliness is "excusable."

Berlin, November 19, 2012 Today, callas software releases pdfGoHTML, a free Adobe Acrobat plug-in converting tagged PDF files into HTML supporting the ISO PDF/UA standard for universally accessible PDF documents and forms. One simple click on the plug-in button converts the tagged PDF into HTML that is opened in the default browser. In the resulting HTML different views can be selected to examine the tagging structure, have an easier reading experience or make the document more easily readable for people with visual disabilities or dyslexia.
callas software, known for its quality control and document archival software, worked closely with its sister company axaio software when focusing its attention on tagged PDF. Last year, axaio software released the beta version of its MadeToTag product, an Adobe InDesign plug-in to streamline tagging of Adobe InDesign files and create tagged PDF files. Tagged PDF files are essential for screen reader devices helping visually impaired people or reading software for people with learning disabilities such as dyslexia. In addition, tagged PDF files enable substantially better indexing by search engines and a more reliable text extraction or conversion to other formats.
It is this last property of tagged PDFs that is used by pdfGoHTML to allow high quality conversion of tagged PDFs into HTML. When opening a PDF file, pdfGoHTML immediately indicates whether or not the file is tagged and allows a one-button conversion into HTML in the default browser. Users can easily switch how the HTML is displayed to adjust it to their specific needs: browser default, structure tags, easy reader, inverted, low vision, and dyslexia.
For those who need to evaluate the tagging quality of a PDF file, the structure tags view in the exported HTML provides a very quick, intuitive quality analysis tool that shows where the tagging structure of a tagged PDF needs improvement. callas pdfGoHTML will substantially speed up the creation and evaluation of tagged PDFs, and ensures a much higher degree of usability of tagged PDF files.
callas pdfGoHTML is immediately available as a free tool. It works in Acrobat 9, 10 and 11 on both Mac and Windows. It can be downloaded here (http://www.callassoftware.com/callas/doku.php/en:download) and tried out with the attached tagged PDF files.

George W. Bush Home celebrates its fifth anniversary
Whether a presidential aficionado who flew from Paris, France, just to see the home or a fifth-grader getting his first look at 1950s decor, the executive director of the George W. Bush Childhood Home said every visitor is unique.
More than 30,000 people have come through the doors of the home on West Ohio Avenue since it opened nearly five years ago on April 11, 2006. Those people have come from all 50 states and 64 foreign countries. Some are in town to visit relatives, others are passing through on road trips and still others are in Midland specifically for a tour of the presidential site, Executive Director Paul St. Hilaire said. The home will celebrate its anniversary with a day of free tours, ice cream and an antique car show from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
"It's a way for us to thank the community for support," he said. "Every guest has a unique reason for being here, and it's fun finding out why they're here. We sometimes learn as much from them as they learn from us."
The Bush family moved to Midland in 1950 and into the Ohio Avenue house in November 1951. They lived there until 1959 when George H.W. Bush took over Zapata Off-shore and relocated his family to Houston. Before it was opened to the public, the roughly 1,400-square-foot home was restored to the 1950s time period.
St. Hilaire said while it's unique as a presidential site because it's strictly a home instead of a museum or library, it's also unique because it housed two presidents, a governor and a first lady.
"We feel we've got a great deal of exposure," St. Hilaire said.
Volunteer Patti Alexander said most people she takes through the home are surprised at its size.
"They've talked about how it's so simple and small and not grand or fancy at all," she said. "It's amazing."
Several of the about 40 volunteer docents and gift shop attendants are retired teachers who enjoy getting to take Midland's fifth-graders through the home when they come by on their field trips, Alexander said.
"It's fun for kids to see things from the 1950s," she said.
St. Hilaire agreed and said adults like the items too because they remind them of their own childhood home.
"There's something in there that most everybody's going to recognize from their childhood or their grandmother's house ... from that time in life where things appeared to be simpler," St. Hilaire said.
For kids, he said he loves using the home to show the "normal" lifestyle the Bush family had.
"It gives them hope for the future that really anybody can become president," St. Hilaire said.
In the coming years, St. Hilaire said they're looking to add a permanent exhibit gallery nearby that they hope will attract more attention. If a site were acquired, he said they would remove the exhibits presently in the home and then furnish those areas to the state they were in when the Bushes lived in the house.
'We just want to try to be as authentic as possible," he said.
On Sunday, St. Hilaire said they hope to see some new faces at the home as well as some of those who've been so supportive of the project since its inception.
"It's just a little celebration," he said. "Enjoy the nice weather, enjoy the free tours."
