a second and said nothing wrong sis I promise this is the feeling that make Sue and mum scream out just please don't worry just enjoy them and you will love it, with that he pushed his tongue back into her pussy and this time sucked her clit into his mouth.

Ted could hear Jane screaming from the lounge as his mum and Sue please her getting her ready for what Ted was now doing to his sister, Ted sucked, flicked, and lightly bit her clit making her moan even more her body was trembling and the he move one hand up and ran one finger down her slit touching her inner lips that were hanging down and each time his finger passed over then she took a realdeep breath and kept saying OH OH TED then Ted pushed his finger in a bit further and opened up her inner lips and found her moist fanny walls Ted pushed harder and his finger slipped into this slippery pussy and she had her first ever finger fully up inside her snatch when he started to move the back and forth her body shook and her fanny gripped his finger and sis shouted out OH OH YES YES OH GOD YES and Ted felt her first ever proper climax going thou her body, Ted stopped licking her pussy and said see told you you would love it, OH Christ more more please Ted I want more.

Ted stood and picked his sister up and took her over and lay


her on his bed then took a few steps back and started to undress and she could not take her eyes of him as he lifted his t-shirt and his slightly hairy chest came into view she looked at his nipple and how they were sticking out hard and she liked what she saw, Ted took of his shoes and socks and then stood there and undone his jeans button and then slowly lowered the zip down and started to peel them down over his legs and when he straightened up his thick long cock was trying to push it's way out of his pants making his sister take in a deep breath, yes she had seen it the other night but that was going in and outof Sue's cunt at the time and she could not see it fully but now it looked like a bloody great tree trunk and she knew that it would soon be fucker her and inside her virgin cunt.

Ted eased down his pants and his cock sprang out in front of him and it made her hold her breath as she looked at it, Ted Ted she said I want mum and the other in here like we said please Ted, Yea sure he replied and just walked out the door to get them and his cock was bobbing up and down as he walked, when he entered the lounge Jane was down between Sue's legs and licking her shaven cunt and Ted said when you lot have finished


We want you in the bedroom as sis wants you all there when I take her for the first time.

Ted returned to the bedroom to find she was still laying on the bed but had closed her legs so Ted said there on there way and climbed on the bed and eased open her legs once more, as he knelt there looking down at her pussy he said just before they get here my cock is bigger than I lot of men's cock so as this enters you for the first time it might hurt just a bit but it will only be until it's in ok sis then you will enjoy the rest of it I promise, so how big are most cocks then she asked from4 inches upwards and some are thick and some thin but don't worry dear sis I will try not to hurt you and with that he lent forward and placed his mouth over her fanny and sucked her inner lips into his mouth and flicked them with his tongue,for the first time his sister joined in by placing her hands on the back of his head and pushed Ted's head hard against her and as she did Ted pushed his tongue inside her pussy and she cried out OH OH YES dear brother OH YES and just as she said that mum,Sue and Jane walked into the room all naked and she turned her head to look at the three naked women standing there looking at the different


pussies on show Sue's shaven cunt showing all her slit, Mum's really hairy cunt that was so hairy you could not see her cunt at all and Jane's like her covered in a little hair and looking a bit red but she guessed that was from where mum and Sue had been at it and they would be doing the same to her once Ted had had his wicked way with her and taking her Virginity.

Then she came again filling Ted's mouth with fresh virgin juice and my god it tasted so bloody sweet to Ted, then this was it Ted started kissing her ever so lightly from the top of her slit and slowly ever so slowly worked his way up her body kissing each and everyinch as he went, her breathing became very heavy and her breasts heaved up and down mum came over and planted her lips on hers and pushed her tongue into her daughters mouth Sue and Jane came round the bed and each took a nipple and kissed it , licked it, bit it and then Ted was now kissing between her heaving breasts so Sue and Jane move out the way and Ted lifted his head and said can you two open her legs as far as you can so I can get inside her.

Sue and Jane took hold of her ankles and opened her legs and now Ted was laying on top of her and mum had stopped kissing her so Ted kissed his sister and then


open just enough to allow his head to enter, Ted's mum who still had her hand on his cock ran it up and down her daughters slit making the head touch her clit and also making Ted's cock wet with her daughters juices, Sue and Jane were still holding her legs open but also bent over looking between them so they could see Ted's cock enter this pussy it was pressing against and also Jane wanted to see it as she knew it would be her next.

Ted pushed and the tip of his cock found the hole beneath the folds of her inner lips and she said TED TED I AM SCARED please please I am scared but Ted put his mouth over hers and pushed his tongueinto her mouth and their tongue entwined he pushed forward and his cock hit her very tight hole and he had to but more pressure on his cock and then he felt her virgin pussy give way and it opened up and the head of his cock popped into her tearing the thin skin and her virginity was gone Ted stopped kissing her and she screamed out OH OH FUCK FUCK that hurt but Ted just held his cock where it was not moving for a long time

Ted pulled his cock from her and then popped it back in again he done this a few times never pushing it any further in but just getting her hole used to the size of his cock.

Jane was watching and going


Oooooooooooooooo Ooooooooooooo each time his cock came out and popped back into his sister, Ted's mum took hold of one of her daughters nipples and pulled it and twisted it and as she bucked her ass up in the air with the pleasure Ted pushed forward some more and at least half when inside her opening up her pussy walls and she cried out as Ted now started to fuck her slowly with just half of his cock length not wanting to push to much in at first she had now stopped moaning about it hurting and was now starting to moan with pleasure, Jane came up the side of the bed and took hold of his sisters hand and said to her what dose it feel likehaving a cock inside you.

If hurt at first she said though deep breathes but now Wow O fucking Wow it is so bloody wonderful you wait and see Jane you will love ittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt as she bucked her ass up and and this time her pussy walls gripped Ted cock instead of his fingers, Ted knew it was time to fill her with all that he had got so with his next push he entered a bit more and then more he only had two inches left and as he came into her again he pushed the whole length inside her and his body met hers and they slapped together for the first time his sister now had his whole 9 inches deep inside her where no cock or


up with no pain what so ever and he just slid the whole length into her with a gentle push until their bodies met once more.

Ted started to move his dick slowly out and back into her and with ever long stroke of his cock she gasped for air and moaned OH YES and she was starting to say it louder and faster Ted knew another orgasm was on the way all the three ladies just stood there transfixed watching Ted fuck his sister, God her pussy was tight against his shaft as he started to move faster in and out of her now pushing it home harder and faster and she said every time their bodies met YES OH YES and she was now moving her bodyup to meet his as he came down into her.

Ted was not going to be long in having a orgasm himself as her cunt was really tight against his now pounding cock, his sister had her hands up on his back and her nails were digging into him making him even more excited and he pushed harder into her she was thrashing her head side to side now and still saying yes yes as she was nearing her climax, then that was it she arched her back up forcing herself up against Ted's cock and she just had to cum, her body went ridged and she held her breath as her body felt thing that she did not know existed ripped though her body, all she could do


was shout and scream OOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo FUCKkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk as they ran up and down her body Ted still pounding into her, Jane still standing there watching all of this had her hand down between her legs and was rubbing her clit like mad and now could not wait to take her place under Ted.

Ted was nearly there and he just did not stop pumping into this tight wet pussy on and on he pumped as hard as he could he had not thought anything about condoms or anything like that and he just pushed forward and held his cock fully into her and she felt for the very first time cum shooting from a cock buried deep inside her, she felt his cock swell and then throb, it spat outsomething warm that hit her insides hard as it splashed out she could feel it running down her insides on and on Ted's cock pumped cum into.

She was saying Christ Oh Christ Ted I can feel it I can feel you cum in me oh fuck that's good why the fuck have you not fucked me before Ted Christ that's good.

Ted held his cock deep within her until it started to go soft and then took it out of her and he move up kneeling either side of her and sitting over her heaving breasts he took his softening cock and told her to open up she looked at him as if to say What Why, but she did what she was asked and Ted put his cock


in her mouth and said suck it clean it ready for Jane, then he heard something behind him and when he looked round his mum was down between her daughters legs licking her cunt getting her juice and his cum from her.

She sucked his cock and tasted her first ever cum and was not sure that she like it at first put after she had sucked on it for a while so started to like it even more and more and then she could not get enough of it, she was not starting to breath heavy once again as mum licked her cunt and she had now pushed two fingers fully inside her and she was ready to cum again and she did and when she let itthen kissed down her body and he was now just inches away from her thin hair covered cunt and he ran a finger up and down her slit making her shudder and his mum and Sue had done a great job in making her wet but she was about to get her first male mouth clamped onto it and she was like his sister had been breathing heavy as he got closer and closer and then his tongue touched it and she cried out OH OH TED and he pushed his tongue inside her outer lips and found her clit hard and waiting for his touch just inside them.

Ted flicked his tongue over it and she shuddered once more and moaned out loud as he did so, Then


Ted lowered his head and pushed his tongue into her hole and she tasted completely different but still as good and sweet, soon she was having a climax raising her body as she came and then like his sister he slowly moved up her body kissing every inch of her then when he reached her nipples she took a deep breath and held it as he took one into his mouth and bit down on it and ran his tongue across the tip of if she Siad Ted TED TAKE ME I CAN'T STAND ANY MORE TAKE ME PLEASE so he kissed up over her breasts and her her neck and licked her ear lobes and she shook again at this, again asked the three women for theirhelp like they had done just know but this time he wanted Sue to guide his cock into Jane and she was more than happy to do it, grabbing his cock when he raised himself my on his arms and she ran his cock up and down her wet slit a few time and as she did Ted put a bit more pressure and it opened up her pussy lips and his cock head touched her clit and once more she shouted out take me Take me Ted I want it me me please.

Ted pushed forward a bit more and he felt it rest up against her hole and like his sister she was now really breathing hard and heavy but unlike his sister she wanted it and


wanted it now there was no way she was scared after seeing how much pleasure he had given to his virgin sister,so without waiting anymore he pushed forward and he felt her thin skin around her inner pussy give way and his head popped in and as it did she screamed oh fuck oh fuck that hurt but push it in push it in and so Ted did without waiting he pushed half of his 9 inches into her eager cunt and as he did Jane was pushing up trying to get more in so without pulling out he just pushed forward and he soon had his body up against hers and they were joined together as one his 9 inch cock embedded deep within her and heup over his arms and brought them up so her knees where pressing against her chest and he started to really deep stick her harder and harder he pounded into her she had cum a few times but nothing big then Ted felt her mussels tighten up as he pumped into her as his body met hers she was saying Ted Ted Oh Fuck TED and then it hit her and her pussy gripped Ted tight and he felt her mussels ripple as her orgasm went though her body she seamed to stop breathing for a moment as it ran thou her then she gasped for breath and let out a long loud Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and Ted could feel her juices running from her, but Ted when on ramming


into her and she had another orgasm just as big as the last one but this time Ted was ready to shoot again and he speed up fucking her hard.

Pushing as deep as he could on and on he went then he felt his balls tighten and knew he was coming, He had not thought about condoms with his sister but with Jane he said can I come inside you or not, Jane replied yes yes you had fucking better don't fucking waste a drop of it I want to feel what your sister did, I have been on the pill for some time just in case, and that was all Ted wanted to hear and he gave one last push and held it deeper then he hadhis sister as the position they were in and his first lot of cum leapt out of his cock and hit the wet insides of her now not so virgin cunt and she squealed with delight as his cum splashed against her insides Christ Christ she shouted yes yes oh Christ yes as he let pump after pump of his cock fill her up.

When Ted was done he lowered her legs and just lay himself gently down onto her and her breasts squashed against his he put his lips on hers and she opened her mouth to allow his tongue to enter hers and she held him tight to her she did not want to let him go and she really did not want his cock to come


letting me be the first it has been an honour taking your virginity you are a really beautiful woman.

Jane turned red in her cheeks as Ted said this, Come on said Ted let go see what the others are up to, so they got of the bed and walked down to the lounge to find it empty and they heard his mum saying Fuck yes yes oh fuck yes it was coming from her bed room so when they opened the door there on the bed was mum flat on her back, Sue was sitting over her face getting her pussy licked and his sister was kneeling on the floor with her head between her mother thighs licking her very hairy pussy and she had three fingers insideher.

The sex went on until Ted was fucked out trying to keep four women happy was a big ask but he had managed to fuck all of them once and his sister for a second time in doggy style while she licked Sue cunt.

Ted walked Jane home and when they got to her front door she pulled him to her and kissed he again and as their lips parted she said thanks again Ted it's been wonderful and you have made me so so happy, well said Ted you will have to try and talk Sue into you letting her let you join us again but just remember my dad might join in next time, OOOoooooooo she said two cocks what more could a broken in virgin want

Prosecutors say that Project Lakhta was a sophisticated foreign influence campaign that had no particular ideological bent; it appears that the goal was simply to stir up conflict in online political debates by putting forth extreme arguments and inflammatory misinformation to incense both liberals and conservatives. However, there does not seem to be an explicit pro-Trump tilt to the propaganda, as was the case during the 2016 election. The debates that the conspirators chose to meddle in were largely similar to what we’ve seen in previous influence campaigns: gun rights, the Confederate flag, LGBTQ issues, the NFL national anthem debate.

The complaint states that Khusyaynova has been working for entities and companies associated with Project


Lakhta since 2014. These include the notorious Internet Research Agency, the troll farm that spread misinformation on Facebook and Twitter during the 2016 election, and the Federal News Agency, a pro-Kremlin website. Khusyaynova allegedly devised the budgets and payments for the project’s social media operations, salaries, office rent, travel, infrastructure, and other expenses. She further sought to obscure the source of the funds by funneling them through 14 different bank accounts.

The charges reveal that U.S. investigators not only have a detailed understanding of how Russian social media propaganda was funded and organized during the 2016 campaign, but also in the midterms. Khusyaynova is not in U.S. custody, though she could face a five-year prison term if authorities ever apprehend her. That’s unlikely, however, since federal officials typically doAt Last [Import]

Using ingenuity and an unorthodox 'dirty hack', ESA has recovered the four-satellite Cluster mission from near loss. The drama began in March, when a crucial science package stopped responding to commands – one of a mission controller's worst fears.

Since a pair of spectacular dual launches in 2000, the four Cluster satellites have been orbiting Earth in tightly controlled formation. Each of the 550 kg satellites carries an identical payload to investigate Earth's space environment and its interaction with the solar wind – the stream of charged particles pouring out from the Sun. Among each satellite's 11 instruments, five comprise the Wave Experiment Consortium (WEC), which makes important measurements of electrical and magnetic fields.


said ESA's Jürgen Volpp, Cluster operations manager. Over the next several weeks, working closely with the satellites' builder, the WEC scientists and manufacturer, and other ESA teams, the Cluster control team diagnosed the problem, eventually making use of some onboard software that had been dormant since just after launch over 10 years ago.

The result ruled out a short circuit and pointed an accusing finger at the five power switches being locked in the 'closed' position.

Five instruments in the WEC package on each Cluster satellite Tests in 1995 had simulated what might happen if three of the five switches locked close, but no one ever considered how to recover from all five being locked – such a situation had not been deemed possible. Armed with this information and aWhite coats meet grey power: students and seniors respond to an "intergenerational gala".
Research suggests that nonclinical interactions with older people may enhance medical students' traditionally poor attitudes toward this patient group. Although extensive literature has reported on student attitudes, seniors' perspectives of their relationships with younger healthcare professionals (HCPs) are generally unknown. This study explores students' and seniors' perceptions of aging and the influence of these perceptions on medical practice before and after a recreational, intergenerational event. In March 2006, the Schulich Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Western Ontario held its second annual "Intergenerational Gala." Approximately 150 seniors and students were invited to complete a brief pre- and postevent questionnaire exploring attitudes toward aging, care of older people, and HCP training. After the event,


Here’s what it would take to make college tuition-free

It wasn’t until the second semester of his freshman year in college that Tinashe Chaponda realized how good he had it.

The now-23-year-old watched as his friends at Western Michigan University were stressed out about affording tuition and finding jobs with a salaries high enough to pay back student loans after they graduated.

Chaponda built his class schedule around what he was interested in, not necessarily what would pay well. And, since he could afford not to work while in school, Chaponda had the time to start an organization that connects students interested in volunteering with local nonprofits.

How did he do it? He credits an innovative program, the Kalamazoo Promise, which covers tuition and fees for students who attend the city’s publicdegree for free?

Kalamazoo’s program, which was started in 2005 and is funded by anonymous donors, was one of the first, notable examples of what has become a movement. The idea gained momentum with a 2015 proposal from President Barack Obama to make two years of community college free. Separate plans floated by Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election season put the idea front and center. There has been no progress on the issue at a national level under President Donald Trump.

‘Very messy’

Still, states, municipalities and even individual higher education institutions are taking a stab at addressing college affordability on their own. The result is a patchwork of experiments across the country working out the kinks of a lofty idea in real time amid both soaring


with its promise program, according to the college’s president, John Rainone.

The Dabney Promise program, launched in 2016, is available to any student in the school’s service area — about 165 miles west of the capital of Richmond — who has a 2.25 high school GPA and maintains that standard while at the school. But the program fills the gap only after all other aid, including scholarships from the school, is applied.

Rainone said the program, which was started as part of a fundraising campaign that began in 2014, graduates 42% of Dabney Promise scholars within three years, compared with a 28% overall graduation rate at the school.

Still, he and his fellow administrators must regularly persuade donors to maintain the program’s funding, prompting them to ask municipalities in the regionthe state funds tuition and fees for two years of community college for full-time students after other financial aid is applied. As a condition of the program, students are required to work with a mentor to chart their pathway through school. The state recently expanded its offer of free college to adults in the state.

Before launching the program, officials wanted to make sure they had a sustainable source of funding, Krause said. So they came up with a creative solution: lottery funds. The governor set aside $350 million in an irrevocable trust for the program and invested it. That will enable the state to live up to its promise to students, regardless of political whims, Krause said. (In some states, officials have to seek funding for scholarship programs


Times Square was jam packed with hopeful New Yorkers Tuesday night, watching election results on multiple big screens from the center of the square. So was the southern side of Times Square by ABC News headquarters. And so was Rockefeller Plaza. But despite thousands of people gathering together, Times Square was as silent as an empty church. Nobody reveled. Nobody cheered. Everyone was too stunned to even hold conversations outside of scattered low murmurs. With the exception of a mildly rowdy area outside of the FOX News building, nobody felt like talking.

Outside of 30 Rock, the only sound was the television broadcasting election results and occasional CPAP device commercials. In Times Square you could hear the awkward barkers meekly suggesting that they had free tickets to comedy showsaccident, bad luck, the collapse of Catholicism in the US at the end of the 20th century.

The other absence, of any notion whatsoever of going to a better place, one of those bus station heavens—that was just an unspoken premise in our house. You could believe in the Church because it was there, it existed. And served a purpose: for the slave class of the British Empire, it was a counter-hierarchy, a way of reinventing oneself as something more than despised vermin infesting the lawn. And they maintained that belief as long as they needed it, until convinced that America, for all its alarming Anglo echoes, wasn’t going to do that to them again. Then they very sensibly dropped it and dove into the money pit. Sane behavior.


London (CNN Business) 1. Earnings angst: Don't expect the second quarter earnings season to be much of a party.

Analysts anticipate that earnings growth will be essentially flat compared to last year, just as it was in the first quarter. There's still hope of a rebound in the second half of the year. But that optimism largely depends on guidance from companies in coming weeks.

"The risk is that the company guidance ends up being negative," said John Normand, head of cross-asset fundamental strategy at. "It's not just about the actual earnings."

Executives have worked hard to manage expectations in advance of their official announcements.

"The way the earnings game is played, the companies guide the analysts low," said Nick Raich, CEO of The Earnings Scout, a research firm. "Conservative estimates [then]Jerry Moran

Q:

What are the differences between the book and the film version of Smaug and Bilbo's conversation?

I have read in several places that the movie scene differs quite a bit from the book scene. Sadly I haven't read the books. I just want some major highlights as to how the 2 scenes differed, and what impact the differences could have in the third film.

A:

Well, there's a site with the book's scene of Bilbo and Smaug's meeting here (turn your speakers off because there's some annoying MIDI music that plays automatically), so you can read it and compare it to the movie version. In the movie Smaug initially seems to sense Bilbo's ring and Bilbo takes it off out of fear, becoming visible, whereas in the book Smaug doesn't sayof Madison Landmarks Commission- This web page provides maps and information on 5 city of Madison Historic Districts: Mansion Hill, Third Lake Ridge, University Heights, First Settlement, and Marquette Bungalows.

The announcement came in what officials involved agreed was perfect timing, and with perfect weather, to boot.

With Andrew Duhon warming up at the nearby Fais Do-Do Stage, Shell officials announced the oil company would extend its sponsorship of the New Orleans Jazz Fest for another five years. That would push the partnership, already nine years old and cemented in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, through 2019 and to the festival's 50th anniversary.

"With Shell's support as a financial security base, to see what's happened to the festival since Katrina, how far we've moved and how we're growing, it's just a tremendous partnership," said Quint Davis, producer/director of the festival as head of Festival Productions, Inc.-New Orleans.

In making the announcement inside the press tent, John Hollowell, Deep Water Executive VicePresident for Shell Oil, emphasized Shell's ongoing appreciation for Louisiana culture. He certainly dressed for the part, sporting Jazz Fest's 2014 watermelon-themed print short-sleeve shirt that could rival any fest-goer mulling outside on the Fair Grounds.

A profitable partnership begins

For Jazz Fest, 2014 marks a significant, milestone. This is the 10th Jazz Fest since Quint Davis was nearly fired after the 2004 festival lost nearly $1 million. And it is the 10th since he partnered with AEG Live.

"The Gulf region and New Orleans in particular are very important to Shell, and the community's very important to Shell," Hollowell said.

"So the combination of the two and to continue our relationship with Jazz Fest, which is such an important part of the culture of the community ... we feel this is


a great way for Shell to continue to support the community."

Davis and Hollowell were joined by New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu; Tony Ruda, president of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation; and Todd Goldstein, chief revenue officer of AEG, the festival's producing partner.

The announcement comes at a time of impressive financial stability for the festival, 10 years after economic hard times, badly timed weather and re-examinations almost forced Quint Davis out as the producer of the festival. But after successfully re-applying as the producer, and convincing the board to allow him to partner with AEG (one of his former rivals to produce the festival), and then inking the Shell sponsorship deal to help bring the festival back in 2006 after Katrina, Jazz Fest appears stronger than ever.

HowForage plants as an alternative feed resource for sustainable pig production in the tropics: a review.
Globally, pressure on concentrate feed resources is increasing, especially in the tropics where many countries are net importers of food. Forage plants are a possible alternative, but their use as feed ingredients for pigs raises several issues related to their higher fibre and plant secondary metabolites contents as well as their lower nutritive value. In this paper, the nutritive value of several forage species and the parameters that influence this nutritive value in relationship to the plant family, the physiological stage, the plant part and the preservation method (fresh, hay and silage) are reviewed. The influence of the breed and the physiological status of the animal on animal voluntary intake of fibre-rich ingredients,


The forgotten first career of Doctor Henry Van Dyke Carter.
While Henry Gray's Anatomy: Descriptive and Surgical, first published in 1858, is distinguished by superb illustrations, its original illustrator is remembered for an entirely different set of accomplishments, notably significant contributions to tropical medicine. Literature review. Dr. Henry Van Dyke Carter, Professor of Anatomy and Physiology and subsequently Dean of the Grant Medical College in Bombay, India, was a skillful researcher and keen clinician who made significant contributions to tropical medicine, including the discovery of Spirillum minus, the spirochetal organism that causes relapsing fever. For his discoveries he was honored by both the British Medical Association and the English government. Before his departure for India in 1858, however, he and Henry Gray worked at St. George's Hospital Medical Schooland collaborated on the first edition of the text that is still the "Bible" of anatomy to many medical students. His drawings have appeared in every subsequent edition, up to the present day. During his first career as a medical illustrator, Carter was responsible for the drawings that have helped generations of physicians to master the intricacies of human anatomy.

Joseph MacBride (died 1 January 1938) was an Irish Sinn Féin and later Cumann na nGaedheal politician. He was a member of the Irish Volunteers. His brother Major John MacBride fought in the 1916 Easter Rising and was executed by the British authorities. Joseph was arrested after the Rising and interned in prison in England and Wales.

He was elected as a Sinn Féin MP for the Mayo West constituency at the 1918 general election. In January 1919, Sinn Féin MPs refused to recognise the Parliament of the United Kingdom and instead assembled at the Mansion House in Dublin as a revolutionary parliament called Dáil Éireann, though MacBride did not attend as he was in prison.

January 11 will mark the 50th death anniversary of Shastri whose demise still remains shrouded in mystery

New Delhi : India's second Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, who succeeded Jawaharlal Nehru in June 1964, died in Tashkent soon after signing an agreement with President Ayub Khan of Pakistan, with Soviet Prime Minister Alexei Kosygin playing the mediatory role.

January 11 will mark the 50th death anniversary of Shastri whose demise still remains shrouded in mystery.

A few months ago, on September 26, 2015, in an interview to a TV channel, Anil Shastri, senior Congress leader and the elder surviving son of Lal Bahadur Shastri, demanded a thorough probe into the death of his illustrious father. Earlier, his youngeron January 10 Shastri seemed to be particularly pleased with everything that had happened. At 4 p.m. he had signed the Tashkent declaration with Ayub Khan.

Srivastava left Shastriji at 10.30 p.m. to attend a press conference which had been convened by the Indian delegation to explain the Tashkent declaration to Indian and foreign correspondents. After this, he had just returned to his room when a call came from the prime minister's PA Jagannath Sahai, informing him that Shastri had been taken seriously ill. When he reached there, the prime minister was already dead.

In order to secure a first-hand version of what had happened in the prime minister's villa after his departure at 10.30 p.m. and his passing way at 1.32 a.m. - three hours later - Srivastava had


long and detailed conversation with Sahai and M.M.N. Sharma, members of his personal staff, who were both present and were attending on Shastri until the moment of his death.

According to Srivastava's account, Sahai left Shastri's room at about 11.30 p.m. and then Ram Nath, the personal attendant, brought some milk which the prime minister drank. Ram Nath stayed on in Shastri's bedroom until half past midnight and left the room when the prime minister, who was already lying in bed, said that it was time for him to sleep.

Sahai and Sharma were about to retire when, suddenly at 1.20 a.m., the prime minister appeared at the door of their bedroom and asked: 'Where is the doctor?' Jagannath Sahai answered: 'Babuji he is asleep right here. You may kindlyreturn to your bedroom. I will bring the doctor immediately.'

Sharma and Kapur got up to accompany Shastri back to his room. They both held the prime minister's arms but the prime minister walked back on his own. When about half way there, he began to cough and thereafter went on coughing incessantly. When they got to his bed, Sharma and Kapur asked the prime minister to lie down, which he did.

Dr. Chugh and Sahai came running in, the doctor carrying his medicine cases. He checked the prime minister's pulse and gave him an injection. At the same time the doctor uttered the following words in deep anguish and despair: 'Babuji, aap ne mujhe mouka nahin diya.' (Babuji, you did not give me a chance). Dr Chugh continued massaging


his chest and gave him artificial respiration, but nothing proved to be of any avail.

Kuldip Nayar said he met Shastri for the last time on January 10 at the reception given by the Indian embassy in the prime minister's honour. Shastri told him that the return journey would be early because Ayub Khan had invited him to have tea with him at Rawalpindi.

According to Nayar's autobiography Shastri had asked him to ascertain the reaction of the Indian press to the Tashkent Declaration. At the press conference earlier, he had been 'rudely' questioned on why he had agreed to hand Hajipir and Tithwal back to Pakistan. In India, leading opposition stalwarts like Ram Manohar Lohia, A.B. Vajpayee and Acharya Kriplani had strongly condemned the agreement.

Nayar further states that Jaganwalk must have been a strain.

Nayar had asked Morarji Desai towards the end of October 1970 whether he really believed that Shastri did not die a natural death. Desai said: "That is all politics. I am sure there was no foul play. He died of a heart attack. I have checked with the doctor and his secretary, C.P. Srivastava, who accompanied him to Tashkent."

This month, while celebrating the 50th anniversary of 1965 war, the country will recall the outstanding leadership of Shastri during the war and his slogan of Jai Jawan Jai Kisan. It is best to bury all such unnecessary controversies, forever.

That will be the best tribute to a true Gandhian who never thought ill of anybody. He won't have us think ill of anybody. This is


a political party, but it supports many of the same short-term policy positions as the Sanders wing of the Democratic Party: a $15 minimum wage, single-payer healthcare, free college, and opposition to free-trade deals.

But unlike most mainstream Democrats, the DSA also has a long-term vision of a democratic socialist society in the vein of countries like Sweden and Denmark, where workers have a more direct say in how their jobs and the economy are run, alongside a more robust public sector.

Since November, national membership has almost tripled to about 17,000. Its leaders have said meetings are packed and new chapters are cropping up nationwide, including in Rust Belt states such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio, where Trump scored upset wins over Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton to take theof leave provided by the Family and Medical Leave Act, to excuse his absence following an open-heart surgery. Mr. Zwygart sued, alleging that the County's actions violated his rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Due Process Clause. The district court granted the County's motion for summary judgment on both claims. We agree that Mr. Zwygart has not demonstrated a triable issue of fact on either claim and therefore affirm the district court's judgment.

The Jefferson County Road Department hired Mr. Zwygart as a truck driver in 1986. After four years of apparently satisfactory performance, he began displaying attendance problems: in 1990, he used 178 hours of leave without pay; in 1996, he received a written warning for taking 172 hours of leave without pay and 91


hours of sick leave "under questionable circumstances"; and in 1997, he received a second written warning after taking 102 hours of leave without pay. App. 42.

3
Mr. Zwygart did not alter his behavior in response to the written warnings. In 2000, he was put on probation and later suspended for not providing doctor's notes to account for his time off. In June 2000, the County told Mr. Zwygart that he had failed to meet conditions imposed in 1997 for his continued employment, including accumulating five days of sick leave and not taking leave without pay. On October 9, 2000, Zwygart secured his supervisor's written acknowledgment that he had accumulated the required amount of sick leave; within five weeks of doing so, however, he had used it all.

4
In September 2001,when he underwent a second open heart surgery to repair a leak around his prosthetic valve. His primary care physician cleared him to return to work on November 28, 2003.

18
After receiving the May 19 work release from Mr. Zwygart's doctor, the County granted Zwygart twelve weeks of FMLA leave. When that leave expired, Zwygart used his accumulated sick leave and vacation leave, as well as sick leave other employees had donated to him. Combined, these sources allowed Mr. Zwygart to remain on approved leave through September 15, 2003—well short of his November 28 return-to-work date.

19
Beginning September 15, 2003, the County's records list Mr. Zwygart's absences as leave "without pay." App. 56-57. The County classified his absences as such until Mr. Zwygart was fired on October 30, 2003, by


Mr. Zwygart filed a grievance contesting his termination. This time, however, he received no response from his supervisor, so he forwarded his complaint to the Board of County Commissioners as the grievance policy instructs.

24
The Board appointed a committee to investigate Mr. Zwygart's grievance. It held a hearing on December 1, 2003, where Mr. Zwygart testified while represented by counsel that his health was good and that he could return to work as a truck driver. The committee took other evidence, including the November 28 letter from Mr. Zwygart's primary care physician. After the hearing, Mr. Zwygart submitted a note from his cardiologist dated December 3, 2003, that affirmed Mr. Zwygart's capacity to return to work without restriction.

25
After reviewing the evidence, the committee issued a report on December 5recommending that the Commission uphold Mr. Zwygart's termination for six different reasons. Three days later, the Commission adopted the committee's recommendation and unanimously sustained Mr. Zwygart's termination.

26
Mr. Zwygart then sued the County for wrongful discharge and failure to accommodate in violation of the ADA, and for depriving him of a property interest in his continued employment without due process in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. The County moved for summary judgment on all of Mr. Zwygart's claims. The district court granted the County's motion, holding that Mr. Zwygart was not disabled within the meaning of the ADA and that he failed to establish he had a protected property interest in his employment. Mr. Zwygart timely appealed. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

II.
A.

27
We review de novo the


the district court's holding, however, we must address an argument raised by the County on appeal and pressed during oral argument. According to the County, Mr. Zwygart's termination occurred on October 30, 2003, the date he received a letter of termination signed by the County engineer, his supervisor. Because it is undisputed that, as of October 30, Mr. Zwygart's doctor had not released him to return to work, the County argues that he could not have been a "qualified individual" within the meaning of the ADA: with or without accommodation, he could not perform the essential functions of the job. Appellee's Br. 10; see Mason v. Avaya Commc'ns, 357 F.3d 1114, 1119-22 (10th Cir.2004) (describing "essential functions" test and holding that regular job attendance can be an essentialThat same failure exists here. The May 19 doctor's certification establishes Mr. Zwygart's inability to work as a County truck driver, but it says nothing of his vocational training, the geographical area to which he had access, or the number and types of jobs at which he could have worked—the exact kind of evidence our cases require to avoid summary judgment. This evidentiary absence is fatal to Mr. Zwygart's efforts to preclude summary judgment.

37
The November 28, 2003, physician's note is likewise unavailing. In full, the passage Mr. Zwygart cites states: "According to Mr. Zwygart, his cardiologist specifically told him that he could not work while on the intravenous antibiotics and in the most recent perioperative period." App. 48 (emphasis added). As double hearsay—Mr. Zwygart said that his cardiologist


'East with the Night': Hilo, Hawaii - Salinas, California

30.10.2009

'East with the Night': Hilo, Hawaii - Salinas, California 23-24 March

This is a long page about a boring and fortunately uneventful flight. It was a very easy flight and the weather was excellent along the whole route. However, it was a marathon in terms of range and duration. It was the longest flight I had ever done: a great circle distance of 2026 NM and a duration of 14 hours and 9 minutes.

Preparations: How to cross the Pacific?

Any aviator who considers flying around the world or crossing the Pacific worries about how to cross the huge expanse of water called the Pacific Ocean. So did we!! Basically there are 3 routes: Two North Pacific routes and one South Pacific route:

Thefirst one has shorter legs (Midway Island to Adak Island is only 1395 NM), but involves a large detour to the north. Furthermore March is not exactly the ideal time of the year to visit Alaska. Also the Aleutian islands are famous for some of the worst flying weather in the world and airframe icing can be a real killer. Not attractive at all!!

The two other routes both involve long legs of slightly more than 2000 NM: Hilo, Hawaii to Monterey, California is 2012 NM and Easter Island to Santiago, Chile is 2025 NM. The Hawaii to California route is by far the most frequently flown and there is no problem with availability of AVGAS. The South Pacific route requires prior shipment of drums of AVGAS fuel to


(..internet duties!!) and I was not ready to leave. Saturday morning I looked again, and although the depression was forecast to be over Oregon at the time of arrival and therefore produce less tailwind near California (NW winds) the winds aloft forecast was still good enough. In addition, the little bit of weather near California would be out of the way by the time I got there Sunday morning. From the satellite IR (infrared) photo it was clear that I would meet absolutely no weather along the whole route.

Why fly during the night? It is unavoidable to fly some hours at night. After a 14-hour eastbound flight and losing two hours due to change of time zones, the local California landing time would be 16 hours after thealso wrote down the measured wind vector so I could compare it with the forecast - see the winds aloft forecast shown. It agreed fairly well, but I had slightly more headwind than expected during the first third and the tailwind component forecast approaching California was smaller than anticipated as the depression had moved east faster than forecast and the wind veered further to the NW. After a couple of hours the south easterly wind veered east and gave for 20
minutes or so a 10 knot headwind. I asked for FL110, and fortunately the wind veered back to SE and I had only the usual 3-4 knot headwind. The wind then decayed to less than 3 knots in the middle before picking up from the north as forecast.

Jonathan was then so nice to lend me his car, so I could drive up to San Francisco International airport the same evening to pick up Angela and the co-pilot's seat. The following day Angela and I worked on getting the 27 USG tank out again, re-installing the co-pilot's seat and getting it packed up for shipment back to Switzerland.

The accident occured on Interstate 70 in Howard County, Maryland on the evening of June 30.

It was one of three serious accidents involving antique Ford Model automobiles and their owners in just over two weeks.

According to an Associated Press report, the Maryland crash occurred near the Route 97 exit in Lisbon, Md. around 6:30 p.m. as 62-year-old Richard Dashiell of Bowie drove east in the far right lane in his 1929 Model A Ford. Police say the car was hit by a 2007 Dodge. Witnesses told police that Dashiell’s vehicle was going about 50 mph when it was hit. Police say Dashiell’s car had a “Slow Moving Vehicle” sticker on the rear window. Dashiell and his daughter, Amelia, were thrown from

Men’s Eagles Sevens: Vancouver 2017 preview

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - The HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series makes its long-awaited return to the Great White North this weekend with HSBC Canada Sevens, the sixth round of the 10-stop circuit, kicking off Saturday, March 11.

The Men's Eagles Sevens went 4-2 at HSBC USA Sevens - their home tournament - and finished third to improve their 2016-17 Series standing to level on points in fifth with a 17-point haul. Pool C play for the U.S. starts at 12:52 p.m. ET Saturday against Japan, with the action from BC Place Stadium available to viewers in the United States live via World Rugby's Sevens Series web stream.

WHAT YOU MISSED

The Eagles have enjoyed moderatesuccess at Sam Boyd Stadium in recent years, reaching the USA Sevens Bronze Final in both 2015 and 2016. Expectations, then, were understandably high in a Pool B featuring the tournament's invited team, Chile, and a sputtering Samoa. Sir Gordon Tietjens' side had already tasted defeat at the hands of the Eagles in Wellington, and did not have an answer for Danny Barrett on a skinny field. The forward racked up three tries in an impressive display, punishing the Samoans focused on Perry Baker.

Chile struck first against England in its pool opener before conceding 62 consecutive points to England and the Eagles. Barrett again found the score sheet but it was the depth in the team that saw out the shutout as all 12 players - including international


debutant Walt Elder - saw game time. So concluded Day/Night One in Las Vegas, with a mouth-watering, pool-deciding matchup with England set to open Day Two.

Martin Iosefo powered his way over the line from a well-worked set play before Baker bettered a chasing Dan Norton for his first try of the tournament. Norton would get his revenge, however, following his own chip kick to bring the score to 12-5 at halftime. Apart from the worthy tries scored, the teams were in a back-and-forth battle across 80 meters of the field the entire game. Young Ben Pinkelman benefitted from a Folau Niua pass to bowl over the defender on the try line midway through the half, but England maintained restart after restart to score three tries in as manyminutes, pulling out the victory.

Relegated to the second seed out of the pool heading into the night-time Cup Quarterfinal, the Eagles could not cope with an early Argentina onslaught. Facing a tough task down, 12-0, at halftime, captain Madison Hughes relayed a powerful message from Team USA Olympic teammate Nate Ebner. Despite Argentina's third try of the game to open the half, the Eagles took control of their own destiny to win, 21-19, thanks to an untiring performance by Maka Unufe.

"Great determination in the Argentina game, especially after some calls that didn't go our way," Friday said. "Fair play to the boys; they stuck to task and fought their way back into the game play by play. They learned their lessons from the England game, which was pleasing


to see."

In the past two seasons, the Eagles played South Africa four times at home. Two consecutive pool matchups followed by Bronze Final meetings resulted in three wins for the Blitzboks and a draw. Sunday afternoon's Cup Semifinal was another win for the current Series leaders - although it was one of the toughest victories they earned on the weekend - before the Eagles topped New Zealand to nab the medal.

"We have X-factor players but it is consistency in performance and the discipline to stick to the plan and stay on task that wins titles," Friday said. "That is why we didn't beat South Africa, and why they won the tournament and are where they are in the Series."

WHERE THE EAGLES FLY

Barrett's five tries in Las Vegas landhim in eighth in the Series scoring charts behind players not named Seabelo Senatla. His 16 tries better Baker's 15, with his name included in the tournament Dream Team - his second such nomination in as many tournaments. The Bronze Medal took a full-squad effort, and a total of nine players dotted down 21 times for Friday's Eagles. Only Fiji (25) and South Africa (22) scored more, while Hughes and Stephen Tomasin combined for a tournament-high 13 conversions.

The Eagles will feel a Cup Final appearance slipped away having held a late second-half lead over South Africa in addition to stealing the final possession close to the try line, but the Argentina defeat elevated them to the top four for the first time this season before ending USA Sevens


on a high in the Bronze Final. Being close to home certainly had an effect, as the team did not need to travel across multiple time zones to arrive at Sam Boyd Stadium.

"We have to contend with travel and jet-lag fatigue due to not being able - like most teams - to arrive early at the events," Friday said. "That was not an issue at this event and you can see the difference proper preparation can make to our squad who, while talented, is currently reliant on us not picking up injuries."

Healthy throughout the weekend until Hughes was kept out of the Final, the Eagles used a vibrant, supportive crowd as fuel to put themselves on the front foot against most of their opponentson the weekend. Barrett and his forward teammates took advantage of a smaller playing surface with physicality combined with skilled hands, while the Eagles had a positive penalty differential by the time the Bronze Final ended.

While Unufe rightly earned headlines in the Cup Quarterfinal victory and Barrett was selected to the Dream Team, the consistent play of Niua has been one of the team's saving graces this season. Including the six matches at USA Sevens, Niua - going into his 46th tournament - has played in 35 percent of the U.S.'s total games in 17-and-a-half seasons (only Zack Test has played in more). Although he may not receive the same recognition as teammates with higher scoring records - despite 414 career points scored - his rugby I.Q. and


been relegated (2014-15) and subsequently re-qualified (2015-16) prior to reaching the Rio 2016 Olympic Summer Games Bronze Final. Japan has only won two of 25 matches this year, but cannot be underestimated with smart players like Lomano Lemeki and Katsuyuki Sakai helping the team trend upwards (the wins came in Sydney and Las Vegas).

France's draw with the Eagles in Wellington was a major factor in the U.S.'s drop to the Challenge Trophy bracket in the third tournament of the season. The Eagles did their part to come back from 21-7 at halftime to level the scores, but the pace at which France plays with athletes such as Terry Bouhraoua and Julien Candelon can cause every team on the circuit issues. The French are going into the latest roundof the Series coming off of their worst result of the season at USA Sevens.

Australia will not want to let the Eagles earn a victory in their Pool C matchup, nor will they want to see the U.S. advance to the Cup round seeing as how the two nations are tied on points in the Series standings. The Eagles have momentum with a Cape Town pool-play shutout and a more positive overall result from Las Vegas, but Australia can be a world-beater on its day. James Stannard is a wonderful goal-kicker with enough pace to give his side a protective sweeper option, while the highlighted trio of Ed Jenkins, Tom Lucas, and Nick Malouf provide the side with much-needed experience.

SCREAMING EAGLES

Though there will not be as many pro-U.S.


fans in Vancouver as there were in Las Vegas, there will be strong contingent of Eagle supporters due to the proximity of BC Place Stadium to the border. The draw of the sixth leg of the Series has also caused organizers to open another seating section in order to welcome more than 75,000 fans into the indoor arena.

The tournament starts with the Pool B matchups. The Eagles are in Match 2 against Japan at 12:52 p.m. ET before finishing off the day against Australia at 8:08 p.m. ET. World Rugby's live stream will be available to viewers in the United States, while USA Rugby's Twitter account (@USARugby) will provide live match updates.

That’s why there are more country music songs about God and pickup trucks and honky-tonks instead of Chevy Volts and juice bars.

And they also own guns – lots of guns. So why in the world would Ms. Musgraves insult so many law-abiding, gun-toting fans?

Her profane diatribe was about as popular as somebody bringing a bucket of store-bought chicken to(CNN) Minutes into his acceptance speech, Emmanuel Macron acknowledged the "anger, anxiety and doubt" among people who voted for his rival Marine Le Pen. By addressing her supporters so directly and taking their concerns so seriously, the new French president demonstrated that he knows his historic triumph has not crushed populism -- it has merely kept it at bay.

In March, a liberal beat a right-wing populist in the Netherlands . After Macron's victory, Germany's foreign minister, Sigmar Gabriel, tweeted that France "is and will remain in the middle and in the heart of Europe," underlining the two-nation, pro-EU alliance that has been under threat from Brexit and Le Pen.

Denis MacShane, former UK minister for Europe and author of a biography of François Mitterrand, France's longest-serving President, described Macron's


win as "the biggest victory for Europe in two decades" that showed "France is willing to resist the waves of populist nationalist extremism of the right and the Podemos-Chavista left, represented by Jean-Luc Mélenchon".

"It is a big win for Angela Merkel and for others seeking to reform and re-dynamise the European Union on the basis of pro-market, pro-entrepeneur and labour reforms. Macron will face many problems, but they are the problems of government and of power," he added.

Yet Le Pen's performance shows that populism remains a potent electoral force.

Her 34% share of the vote is almost double that won by her father Jean Marie Le Pen in 2002. The long-term progress of the Front National shows a steady upwards trajectory, and the party believes it can win upwas endorsed by the pro-Brexit UK Independent Party in Britain and its former leader Nigel Farage.

Yet Dominic Cummings, the campaign director of Vote Leave, the official campaign of the populist pro-Brexit cause in last year's EU referendum, made clear Sunday night that his organization wanted Macron to beat Le Pen, tweeting that "semi/proto-fascist parties with history of Holocaust denial winning elections is v bad for humanity"

In Britain, Theresa May has taken up the populist cause of a hard Brexit, but unlike Le Pen and Trump in the US, she does not pursue a protectionist agenda on trade and globalization.

Nevertheless, Le Pen's brand of populism has entered the mainstream. If she had won the presidency, it would have registered as a global political earthquake, but when she reached the


second round of voting last month, few were surprised.

Brian Klaas, a fellow at the London School of Economics and an ex-US campaign adviser, said: "Macron's victory is a crushing defeat for the momentum of extremist populism in Europe.

JUST WATCHED Why these French voters support Le Pen Replay More Videos ... MUST WATCH Why these French voters support Le Pen 00:52

"However, Le Pen's showing is comparatively strong and signals the mainstreaming of previously fringe views. This is happening everywhere. In the US, for example, alt-right commentary used to occupy a dark corner of the internet. Now some of its architects are in the Oval Office.

"That's the double-edged sword of last night's defeat of xenophobic populism. It sliced through the momentum forged by Brexit and Trump's victory. Centrist pragmatism won.Vincent Lecavalier

Lecavalier has actually gotten his captaincy stripped from him once before, but has redeemed himself to become a top captain. Lecavalier was originally named captain in 2000, but was stripped before the 2001-02 season began due to poor performance and just not being ready.

In true captain fashion, Lecavalier kept fighting and playing eventually helping the Lightning win a Stanley Cup. He has been a permanent fixture in Tampa Bay since arriving in 1998 and is the most deserving player on Tampa Bay’s roster to become a captain.

#9- Ryan Callahan

Mark Messier, Brian Leetch… Ryan Callahan? It seemed odd at the time, but the Rangers made the right choice in naming Callahan captain.

Then Ranger head coach John Tortorella said that it was an easy decision for him and when


well. Team Canada named Staal its captain for this year’s World Hockey Championships.

#7- Dustin Brown

People may disagree with this choice given his infamous knee-on-knee hit shortly before the Kings won the West last season.

However, Dustin Brown is a very popular player among Kings fans and his own teammates, so, it was a no-brainer why Brown was named captain.

Kings fans voted him as the team’s most popular player this season as he led his team to the Western Conference Final only to be eliminated by the Chicago Blackhawks and their captain who is yet to be named on the list.

Brown’s charity work has been commended by the NHL in the past. Brown was nominated for the Mark Messier Leadership Award and won the NHL Foundation Award in 2011 forhis charitable work. Brown donates $50 for every hit he makes in a game, which he donates to a Los Angeles children’s hospital. With Brown being among the league leaders in hits, he makes a healthy donation each year.

Fans love a player with a tough exterior and Brown has got just that. A perfect combination of grit and a heart of gold is what makes Dustin Brown among the best captains in the game today.

#6- Henrik Zetterberg

Henrik Zetterberg had some quite the sweater to fill when he took on the “C” for the Red Wings. Steve Yzerman and Nicklas Lidstrom were the best leaders the Red Wings had before Zetterberg, but he is doing a fine job since taking on the role.

Zetterberg is among the best two-way players


in the NHL today and he makes all the little moves that work. Zetterberg was a big part of the Red Wings playoff run this year coming within one game of beating the eventual Western Conference champion Chicago Blackhawks.

Not only is he a leader on the off, but he is one off the ice as well. Zetterberg was announced as the 2013 NHL Foundation Player Award, given out to the player that applies the core values of hockey to enrich the lives of people in his community. Zetterberg won the award thanks to his foundation, the Zetterberg Foundation, that helps provide clean water for an Ethiopian village.

A great on ice leader and great face for a franchise, Zetterberg is one of the best.

#5- Daniel Alfredsson

Daniel Alfredsson has beenas much criticism that Sidney Crosby gets, one thing is true, he is a great captain. Crosby entered the league as a superstar in waiting and became a captain shortly after. Since then, the Penguins have not looked back. In his second season as captain, Crosby avenged his team’s loss in the Final to the Red Wings a year before. Crosby became the youngest captain to win a Stanley Cup.

Crosby is also a tough player as well. Many may scoff at that remark, but given the concussion issues and setbacks he has had, he is a warrior. Crosby worked hard to get back to the way he was before the concussion issues reared its ugly head and is finally back to who he was.

Crosby skill and perseverance is


the Right to Play foundation, designed to promote sports in impoverished countries around the globe.

Normally Zdeno Chara would be the best captain in the NHL, except for one player.

#1 Jonathan Toews

Toews’ tenure as captain started at a hotel following a fan convention, when Stan Bowman told Toews that he would be the new captain of the Blackhawks, the youngest ever. The ever humble Toews just simply said, “Im honored, and I’ll make us proud”. Little that Toews knew, he would make the Blackhawks proud right from the start.

In Toews’ first season as captain, Chicago made its first trip to the playoffs in six seasons and led the ‘Hawks to the Western Conference Final. Just another season later, Chicago won its first Stanley Cup since 1961.

The Blackhawks’ Jonathan Toews“C” at a young age, Steve Yzerman. Both players were great two-way players and won the Selke Trophy for best defensive forward. Both are Stanley Cup winning captains who conduct their manners in the same way and both wear the #19.

Yzerman praised Toews as a player when he said back in 2011,

One of the first times I got to watch him play was in 2007 in the World Championships in Russia. Even though he was still with North Dakota at the time, he played very well there. When we began scouting for the Canadian 2010 Olympic team, we had penciled him in very early and by the time we named the team it was pretty unanimous that he was worthy of being in our top 13.

The Healing Paths of Fife

Here is a description:

Diana walked along the Fife Coastal Path from North Queensferry – beneath the famous Forth Rail Bridge – to St Andrews. While on her way she trod in the footprints of a multitude of pilgrims and famous people through the ages, but she also followed in the steps of ordinary folks of Fife. She ‘met’ some fascinating characters – from St Margaret in Dunfermline to the real Robinson Crusoe, Alexander Selkirk, in Lower Largo.

Diana was enamouredby her beautiful surroundings along these healing paths. As she paused to have a ‘wee blether’ with those she ‘met,’ she learnt a new way of looking at her world, finding values which gave her a blueprint for the next stage in her life and she was fortunate to discover a sense of peace.

The further Diana travelled the more she became absorbed in the history of Fife and her affinity for the area grew.

As you read on you may find yourself ‘walking beside Diana.’ Her experiences might help you with some of the challenges you face in your own life, or they may inspire you to visit the region of Fife and have adventures of your own. Some would call this an allegory but it is certainly a


In prior art grips of the type described above, the abutment consists of a hook member of substantially crescent-shaped cross-section, whose two opposite ends are integrally formed with two separate arms which are, in turn, integrally formed with the body proper and between which the clamping jaw is positioned to press the rope against the concave inner side of the hook member. On application of the grip to the rope, the clamping jaw is moved back to an end position which is maximally spaced from the hook member and in which the distance between the clamping jaw and the hook member is slightly greater than the diameter of the rope, such that the grip can be laterally hooked on to the rope, whereupon a concavely formed front surfaceThe stadium is owned by the New York Jets and New York Giants - which jointly built the stadium using private funds, and operate it through the New Meadowlands Stadium Company, LLC, a 50/50 joint venture between the two teams. The stadium opened as New Meadowlands Stadium on April 10, 2010, featuring the Big City Classic lacrosse event.[6] In 2011, MetLife, an insurance company based in New York City, acquired the naming rights to the stadium. At a construction cost of approximately $1.6 billion, it is the most expensive stadium ever built[7] and is the largest stadium in the NFL in terms of seating capacity.

As Giants Stadium approached 30 years of age, it was becoming one of the older stadiums in the NFL. The Jets, who had been


the lesser tenants in the Meadowlands, sought to have their own stadium built in Manhattan proper, the proposed West Side Stadium. Originally intended to be the 85,000-seat main stadium for New York's bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics, it was designed to be downsized to 75,000 seats for the Jets. However, the West Side Stadium would have required significant public funding, which collapsed in 2005. The Jets then entered into a partnership with the Giants to build a new stadium in which the two teams would be equal partners.

The stadium is distinguished by an outer skin of aluminum louvers and by interior lighting that switches colors depending on which team is playing at home—bluestadiums. To change the field decorations, two four-person crews take about 18 hours to roll up 40 sections of FieldTurf that make up the teams' respective endzones.[10] Unlike most NFL stadiums, the NFL's logo is painted at midfield instead of the logo of one of the teams, also shortening the transition time. The replaceable team logos at midfield were removed in August 2010, after Domenik Hixon tore his anterior cruciate ligament at a practice at the stadium during training camp.[11]

Unlike a number of other new NFL venues, MetLife Stadium does not have a roof, as proposals to include a roof failed due to a dispute over funding.[12] Thus, indoor events such as the Final Four cannot be held at the facility, which runs counter to the original aims


for a new stadium in northern New Jersey.[13]

Twenty, giant high-definition-ready light emitting diode (LED) pylons designed, manufactured, and installed by Daktronics at the north and east entrances display videos of the team that is playing. The pylons measure approximately 54 feet (16 m) high by 20 feet (6.1 m) wide. Inside are four 30 feet (9.1 m) by 116 feet (35 m) video displays from Daktronics, which incorporate high definition video technology and hang from each corner of the upper deck.[14]

MetLife Stadium includes a total of four locker rooms: one for the Giants, one for the Jets and two for visiting teams. The home teams have locker rooms on opposite ends of the stadium with a visitors' locker room adjacent to it; the unused visitors' locker room isused as a spillover area by the home team on game days.[15][16]

The lease for the new stadium is for 25 years, with options to extend it that could eventually reach 97 years. After the 15th year of the lease, every five years, one of the two teams may opt out of the lease after giving the state 12 months notice. However, if one team leaves for a new stadium, the other team would have to remain for the remainder of the lease. Based on the teams' histories, this clause presumably allows the Jets to eventually decide that they want to play in their own stadium and leave if they can find a way to


New York's Jewish community (the largest outside of Israel) and the Anti-Defamation League, which opposed the move due to close ties in the past between Allianz and the government of Nazi Germany during World War II. However, Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum, secretary general of the North American Board of Rabbis, agreed that although survivors' sensibilities are understandable, a naming deal is legitimate. "I have found Allianz to be receptive, to be sensitive and a friend of the Jewish people today," he said.[19] Allianz sponsors the venue that inspired the color-change technology for MetLife Stadium: Allianz Arena in Munich. No agreement was reached and talks between Allianz and the teams ended on September 12, 2008.[20]

On June 27, 2011, it was reported that insurance company MetLife entered discussions to purchase namingrights to the stadium.[21] The new name, MetLife Stadium,[22] became official when all parties signed a 25-year deal on August 23.[23][24]

In June 2009, the New Meadowlands Stadium Corporation and the EPA signed a memorandum of understanding that outlines plans to incorporate environmentally-friendly materials and practices into the construction and operation of MetLife Stadium. The agreement includes strategies to reduce air pollution, conserve water and energy, improve waste management, and reduce the environmental impact of construction. The goal of the agreement is to save the emission of nearly 1.68 million metric tons of carbon dioxide during the stadium's construction and its first year of operation. Under this agreement, the stadium construction must use around 40,000 tons of recycled steel, recycle 20,000 tons of steel from Giants Stadium, install seating


made from recycled plastic and scrap iron, and reduce air pollution from construction vehicles by using cleaner diesel fuel, diesel engine filters, and minimizing engine idle times. Other goals of this agreement include providing mass transit options for fans and replacing traditional concession plates, cups and carries with compostable alternatives. The New Meadowlands Stadium Corporation is to report the progress on its goals to EPA every six months. Based on the reports, the EPA has stated it will quantify the benefits of the venue's environmental efforts.[25][26]

On April 7, 2013, WWE's 29th annual flagship event, WrestleMania 29 was held at MetLife Stadium. It drew 80,676 fans, which became the second highest attended event in the history of WWE after WrestleMania III

WrestleMania XXIX garnered 1,048,000 PPV buys, 205,000 fewer thanthe previous year's event.[29] The event set a new record for the highest grossing live event in WWE history, grossing $72 million.[30]

Inside MetLife Stadium during the first-ever preseason game held there, between the Giants and Jets on August 16, 2010

On May 25, 2010, it was announced that Super Bowl XLVIII was awarded to the stadium, the first time a Super Bowl would be played in the New York metropolitan area, and the first time that a non-domed stadium in a cold-weather city would host it.[31]

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos 43–8 for their first Super Bowl victory, when MetLife Stadium hosted Super Bowl XLVIII on February 2, 2014.[32] The NFL requires that a Super Bowl hosting stadium must have an average temperature of 50 degrees or higher


in February or be held in an indoor climate-controlled facility. However, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell waived this requirement. The stadium was allowed on the ballot because of a "unique, once-only circumstance based on the opportunity to celebrate the new stadium and the great heritage and history of the NFL in the New York region".[33][34]

November 14, 2010: The stadium encounters two power outages during a game featuring the Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. The game is delayed about eight minutes.[37]

December 19, 2010: The Philadelphia Eagles stage a comeback against the Giants in what has become known as the Miracle at the New Meadowlands, coming back from being down 31–10 with about eight minutes to go in the fourth quarter to win 38–31, capped off by DeSean Jackson's game winningpunt return when time expires.

September 11, 2011: On the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a ceremony is held prior to the game between the Jets and the Dallas Cowboys honoring the victims of the attacks.[38] The Jets defeated the Cowboys 27–24.[39]

December 24, 2011: The visiting Giants defeat the hosting Jets 29–14 in what is the biggest regular season match-up between the two New York teams in recent years, due to postseason implications for both sides. The victory helps propel the Giants into the playoffs while contributing significantly to eliminating the Jets from a postseason appearance.[40]

January 8, 2012: MetLife Stadium hosts its first NFL playoff game, with the Giants defeating the Atlanta Falcons 24–2 in an NFC Wild Card game,[41] en route to their Super Bowl XLVI


championship.

The stadium hosted an international exhibition soccer match between the United States and Brazil on August 10, 2010. Brazil won 2–0 in front of a near-sellout crowd of 77,223; the game was played on a temporary grass field.[60][61]

On October 16, 2010, Rutgers hosted Army in the first college football game to be played in the new stadium, with the Scarlet Knights defeating the Black Knights in overtime, 23-20. During the game's second half, Rutgers player Eric LeGrand was injured on a special teams play, defending a Rutgers kickoff, and paralyzed from the neck down.

The stadium hosted another international friendly, between the United States and Argentina on March 26, 2011, which ended in a 1–1 draw and was played in front of a sellout crowd of 78,926.[62]

The stadium hostedthe 12th Siyum HaShas, a celebration of the completion of the Talmud through the 71⁄2-year Daf Yomi study program, on August 1, 2012. At 93,000 seats, it was the highest capacity crowd in the stadium's history, due to on-field seating and a ticket sell-out. The siyum was a Department of Homeland Security level two security event, the most critical short of a presidential visit.[63][64]

On September 7, 2012, the stadium hosted the first New York's College Classic game, with the visiting USC Trojans defeating the Syracuse Orange, 42-29. Syracuse has relocated three of its home games from the Carrier Dome to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey under the banner of New York's College Classic, losing all three games, with a fourth to be played against Notre Dame in September


2014.

Another exhibition match in preparation for 2014 FIFA World Cup was played on November 14, 2012 between Colombia and Brazil, with Brazil acting as the local team despite a higher affluence of Colombian fans.

On September 27, 2014, Syracuse Orange hosted Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the their fourth New York's College Classic, which boasted 76,802 fans in attendance. Syracuse lost their fourth straight classic to a score of 31-15.Cellulose gel, also known as Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a white, free flowing powder which is most commonly obtained from wood pulp. It is used as a stabilizer, thickener, bulking agent, emulsifier, texturant, suspending agent and fat substitute in pharmaceutical and food industries. Cellulose gel is a good source dietary fiber and adds little or no calories to the food it is added to. This makes it a valuable additive in the weight loss product segment. It is neither degraded nor absorbed by the human digestive system. Moreover, its stabilizing and thickening properties make it vital for the dairy segment. The production costs of ice cream have been greatly reduced by cellulose gel additive.

Cellulose gel is manufactured from wood pulp and pure cotton cellulose which are bio products.


have a purity of less than 80% and 80-95% respectively. These are not safe for consumption and are used in industrial applications only.

The largest end user industry is foods and beverages where it is used as an additive for fat substitute, thickening properties and also increases shelf life of the products. Its industrial applications include additive in fracturing fluid (Oil and Gas), additive to detergents and adhesives, dye and paint thickener and pigment coat in paper coating.

Cellulose Gel Market Outlook

North America and Europe are the largest markets for cellulose gel. The addition of cellulose gel to food and drugs is approved by the US FDA, hence use of cellulose gel across end user industries has increased. Pharmaceutical and food industry are major drivers. Furthermore, with the rise oflifestyle diseases in this region weight management segment is projected to grow rapidly.

Asia Pacific is estimated to be the fastest growing market due to rising population in countries such as India, China, Indonesia and Philippines. These countries will drive food processing industry and will augment growth. Moreover, China and Japan are manufacturing hubs for cellulose gel and supply cellulose gel to North American and European markets.

Middle East is a slow growing market and is not expected to grow much in the forecast period. Though pharmaceutical industry has shown significant growth, slack growth in population has not resulted in food industry growth.

Latin America is a developing market with Brazil and Argentina as major drivers due to strong economic and population growth in these countries.

Key Developments:

In September 2017, Itacel, a


Brazil-based company was acquired by Roquette. The acquisition helped Roquette to maintain its foothold in the global MCC market by becoming one of a major supplier of MCC.

In November 2017, DowDuPont acquired FMC Corporation’s health & nutrition business. Through this acquisition, DowDuPont expanded its capabilities by acquiring new ingredients for MCC.

In March 2015, DFE Pharma GmbH, a German company, had partnered with DKSH Management Limited., for distribution of DFE's Pharma grade MCC across Europe.

Various companies are focusing on developing new products in order to diversify their product portfolio. For instance, in August 2015, DFE Pharma GmbH had launched a low moisture content MCC under the name Pharmacel 112. This product was developed for use in wide range of oral dosage forms.

In March 2013, FMC Corporation announced investment ofIreland.

The republicans also fought against local loyalists, primarily Protestants wanting Northern Ireland to remain in the United Kingdom.

A delicate peace pact was negotiated in 1998, known as the Good Friday Agreement. President Bill Clinton helped broker that accord, which allowed the people of Northern Ireland the right to identify and be accepted as British or Irish, or both, within the E.U.

It also resulted in the removal of British military checkpoints and watchtowers. These had been regularly targeted by republicans as symbols of British dominance.

Some fear Britain’s plan to leave the E.U. could result in such checkpoints being reintroduced, reopening old wounds, upsetting the delicate detente and potentially spurring new violence.

What's the current situation?

As members of the E.U., the U.K. and Ireland are both part of what is known as the single market and customs union.

The customs union means E.U. member countries make trade agreements as one bloc. They are not allowed to negotiate such deals with other countries on their own, and they trade freely with one another.

The E.U.’s single market is based around four freedoms of movement: of goods, services, labor and capital.

The director of the FHRC described the film’s “censorship”as “culturally deplorable and ethically unacceptable” and questioned why the director of the festival was inclined to “please the oppressive Cuban regime.”

"I looked carefully what was in the soap," Mr Twartz said outside his Eastwood nursing home after the case was adjourned . "I scraped it and it was certainly soap but there were these streaks of white stuff in between. I thought it was additional perfume or that was the style of Indian soap."

The whole affair began when people claiming to be from the World Bank in Switzerland sent him an email, Mr Twartz said. First, they wanted him to come to London, then India. Mr


Twartz said he would have been wary of anything asking him to pay up front. But these people sent him $600 for a passport and paid several thousand for his flights. He spent five days in Delhi, where he met up in a hotel room with a "nothing special" man who arranged the deal.

Mr Twartz was to convey the gift soap back to the man's family members and sign related documents.

The shell on the engine side is connected to the engine through a flywheel or similar device to transmit the rotary motion of the engine crankshaft to the two shells. Pump vanes are incorporated into the shell on the transmission side of the torque converter which, when rotated by the connection to the engine, causes a toroidal flow to the oil present in the converter. The oil flow acts on a turbine, which also has corresponding vanes, to rotate the turbine. The turbine is connected to a stator which is configured to direct flow to the pump.
