Plan ahead for each day, week and month! Each day's meals add up to 2,200 calories, and include recipes with complete nutrition information.
Fast food menus include many high carb, high calorie foods with dangerous levels of sodium and fat. It is important to make the best possible choices when eating on the run.
Smoking is the number-one cause of premature death and the leading cause of fires. Some health benefits of quitting are immediate. The IAFF and Pfizer are working together to help the IAFF become the first smoke-free union in North America.
Of these choices, which is your favorite fast food restaurant?


Searching for a specific job title provides more accurate results than company names or other keywords. software engineer is better than coder, and registered nurse is better than hospital.
For location, a zip code is generally more precise than entering city, state.
Surround multiple terms in quotes to treat them as a phrase, like: "program manager" or "dental hygenist".
Enter a minus sign before any terms you want to exclude, like: -travel or -"entry level".


The three men drove through the night from Louisiana hauling three boats, ready for whatever the storm would throw at them.
Brad Johns and his dad Wayne, and their friend John Utesch, helped save lives during Hurricane Katrina and planned to do the same in Houston as part of a volunteer rescue force, paying their own way.
The challenge was immense. Tropical storm Harvey was breaking records for rain and flooding, a once-in-a-thousand-year event by some measures. Countless people were trapped and tens of thousands were displaced.
They had a ski boat, a skiff and a canoe plus fuel, food, water and an app, HoustonHarveyRescue.com, which pinpointed people in need. It showed dozens of locations in Cypress, an inundated northern suburb. "Hopefully we can do some good," said Brad.
Television footage has shown dramatic rescues: people plucked from rooftops, vehicles and foaming torrents, heroism and survival, played out again and again. But for the three Louisianians, part of the so-called Cajun navy, there was just the messy, confusing, unpredictable dynamics of catastrophe in a sprawling city.
The app, for starters, did not work well. Locations which seemed close turned out to be far. Or the people needing rescuing turned out to have already been rescued.
The three criss-crossed waterlogged highways and byways seeking a place to launch a mission.
Dozens of other vehicles towing dinghies, kayaks, airboats, jet skis and motorised fishing boats were doing the same thing. Their drivers stopped at gas stations and parking lots to confer in the rain, exchanging tips and rumours, before resuming the quest.
During one stop the Johns and Utesch acquired a local guide, Karl Juergen, a semi-retired electrical worker, who offered to navigate.
They found an emergency response command post – a fire station bristling with military vehicles – only to receive apologetic shrugs. The uniforms didn't know where to send them.
An hour later the would-be rescuers joined a convoy which splashed to a halt on North Eldridge Parkway. The road ahead was waist-high in water, beyond it marooned housing estates.
Except for one problem. Boats had already gone up there and returned empty. Residents didn't want to leave despite warnings the water would rise another 1.2 metres (4ft).
Wayne and Juergen stayed behind to move the trucks to higher ground while Brad piloted the skiff and Utesch the canoe, skimming through brown, fast-flowing murk. Traffic hydrants could be glimpsed below.
Utesch planned a blunter pitch: get out before it was too late.
They turned into an estate called Twin Lakes: big, fancy houses in mock Tudor and plantation styles. A privileged place to live but for the floodwaters lapping through doorways.
The boatmen glided in silence up Tropicana Drive. Some homes still had electricity – the lights were on – but nothing stirred. Some residents had fled before the storm and those that remained were hunkered down. They had no interest in greeting waterborne visitors, let alone hitching a ride.
Utesch moored at a porch on a cul-de-sac called Sweet Surrender Court and called out. An elderly woman opened the door a crack and politely shooed him away. When he said the water would rise another 4ft she considered this a moment, then shut the door.
"They don't believe us. They just don't want to come out," said Utesch, shaking his head.
On Summer Snow Drive Brad encountered a middle-aged couple standing in their garage, monitoring the water level. They too declined help, saying they had moved all essentials to their second floor.
The would-be rescuers were crestfallen.
"We ain't doing no damn good right here," said Utesch. Brad wondered if the homeowners suspected they were looters.
They passed other boaters with similar experiences. The few homeowners who were evacuating from this corner of Houston preferred to do so in the back of huge trucks.
Back on the highway the two men found Wayne and Juergen and loaded their boats back on to the pickup. "Well, we tried," said Brad, dejected. "The effort and desire were there, the results weren't," said Utesch.


"Evaluating an Experimental Intensive Juvenile Probation Program: Supervision and Official Outcomes"
Source: (2005) Crime & Delinquency. 51(1):26-52.
In 1996, California provided funding to 14 county probation agencies to implement multiagency, comprehensive services to keep troubled youths from recommitting crime and progressing farther into the justice system.We report results of a randomized experiment used to evaluate Ventura County's 4-year demonstration project called the South Oxnard Challenge Project (SOCP).We followed youths for more than 2 years after random assignment to SOCP or routine probation. We found no significant differences between SOCP and routine juvenile probationers on recidivism or other official-record outcomes. Although most youths were rearrested, most did not receive a sustained petition or incarceration. The modest additional services did not affect outcomes.

The group's main objective is to share knowledge and improve our Photography. Sessions are held to improve our knowledge of the camera and it's functions.
We also take opportunities to go out around the local area (eg. Culzean or Alloway) taking photographs, which we then bring back to a session at The Speakers where we will have a group critique. This is a great way to learn about what makes a good picture.
We are a very friendly group and we're all on a learning curve.
We usually meet at The Speakers on Monday afternoons at 1pm, unless we are out and about. Details of any changes to our regular Monday afternoon session will be published on this website.

Q&A with Western Lithium
In this interview, Matthew Beecham talked with Jay Chmelauskas, President, Western Lithium USA Corporation. Western Lithium is a chemical company developing a new source of lithium to supply the battery industry with molecules of lithium. As lithium batteries become the de facto technology for electric transportation, the company expects a step shift in demand in the next several years.
Matthew Beecham
It appears that lithium-ion batteries are well suited to electric vehicles in respect of high energy content. What further advances could we expect with this technology for automotive applications?
The Nissan Leaf that I am currently driving has a lithium-ion battery with a range that is more than adequate for the bulk of my commute and general activities as a family of four living in Vancouver. We expect two technological advances with batteries in the next generation of vehicles. First, improved manufacturing technology to reduce the cost of production and thereby support larger batteries in vehicles to extend range. Secondly, improved chemistry and design of both the cathode and anode to increase energy density, thereby extend range and possibly reduce charging time.
While the cost of lithium-ion batteries for electric cars is falling, there is some way to go. As we understand it, the cost of such batteries is approximately US$600 per kilowatt hour compared to US$250 per kilowatt hour for laptop batteries. Can batteries for electric vehicles get that low?
We expect the automotive sector to follow a similar price decline for larger scale automotive lithium-ion batteries due to economies of scale, innovation and competition.
I guess that once the price falls, the emphasis will be on delivering higher energy density which could lead to smaller batteries?
I predict that batteries will get larger in order to compete better against combustion engine vehicles for long haul trips, and eliminate 'range anxiety' which is a perception that exists with many potential new electric car purchasers.
Whichever way you look at it, EVs remain expensive despite government grants being offered (here in the UK) yet still give motorists range anxiety with just 100 miles between charges. What needs to happen to EV batteries to improve this situation?
As a Nissan Leaf owner, range anxiety is quickly forgotten and the positive attributes of a clean, cheap, smooth, fast, quiet driving experience generates tremendous satisfaction for the driver. That makes any preconceived ideas a moot point. With the energy savings on gasoline, improved driving experience and other characteristics such as never needing to go to a gas station, the value of an electric car can be justified for many drivers today.
As we understand it, most hybrids with moderate to significant powertrain hybridisation use a NiMH battery. While such batteries offer a reliable power source for hybrid cars, the potential for enhancement is limited. As far as batteries for HEVs are concerned, how do you think the market will evolve?
The market will evolve towards plug-in hybrids and then to full electrification. The NiMH battery does not have the energy density or economical competitiveness to be a viable technology for the next generation of electric/hybrid vehicles.

Q: Responsive fancybox iframe form with no scrollbars http://jsfiddle.net/work77/fb61a6za/ contains a fancybox link that opens up http://jsfiddle.net/work77/9eypabj6/ in an iframe.
The Iframe content consists of a random image (of varying unpredictable size) with a form beneath it. I'm trying to load that iframe in a fancybox window that is responsive onload and when resized, has no scrollbars ever and the aspect ratio is always preserved. I've tried all different combinations of fancybox properties ( hxxp://fancyapps.com/fancybox/) but nothing seems to work. I'm now just randomly shooting in the dark. Any Suggestions?
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
    openEffect: 'elastic',
    closeEffect: 'elastic',
    prevEffect: 'fade',
    nextEffect: 'fade',
    fitToView: false, //
    maxWidth: "90%", //
    type: 'iframe',
    scrolling: 'no',
    iframe: {
        preload: false
    }
});

A: This worked for me. Not 100% sure how I got there, but aspectRatio : true helped.
Also I have used fitToView: true, not false.
$('.fancybox').fancybox({
 aspectRatio : true,
 modal : true,
 scrolling : 'no',
 width : 500,
 height : 250,
 autoSize : false,
 autoWidth: false,
 autoHeight: false,
 fitToView: true,

(etc)...

This feature issue, based on the OSA Topical meeting on Mid-Infrared Coherent Sources (MICS), focuses on the most recent advances in mid-infrared to THz science and technology, from materials to laser sources and applications.
© 2016 Optical Society of America
The mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral range covering wavelengths from ∼2 μm up to THz has become a region of increasing interest due a wide variety of emerging scientific and technological applications. The region covers important atmospheric windows and is rich in spectroscopic fingerprints of numerous molecules. Many harmful gases, air, water and soil contaminant, as well as components of human breath and biological tissue have strong absorption fingerprints in this region. This makes the mid-IR spectrum highly important for a variety of applications, including environmental monitoring, atmospheric transmission, breath analysis, minimally invasive surgery, food quality control, spectroscopy, and imaging. The timely progress in mid-IR technology is, therefore, vital for the development of modern diagnostic tools for novel environmental, chemical, biological, and medical applications.
A critical component in the advancement of mid-IR technology is the development of novel laser sources with continually evolving performance capabilities with regard to wavelength coverage, optical power and efficiency, temporal, spectral, and spatial quality, and output stability, in increasingly compact, practical, portable, miniaturized design, and in all time scales from continuous-wave to ultrafast femtosecond domain. This, in turn, relies on progress in material science and the development of new crystalline solid-state and fiber laser gain media, novel semiconductor materials and structures, and new nonlinear crystals for wavelength conversion into the mid-IR. The steady progress in materials and laser sources over the past decade has led to major advances in mid-IR technology, also paving the way for new applications in various areas. This feature issue includes some of the most recent advances in mid-IR science and technology, from materials to laser sources and applications. The feature brings together the latest developments in solid-state and fiber lasers, nonlinear frequency conversion and parametric sources, quantum cascade lasers, as well as the novel applications of mid-IR in trace gas detection, spectroscopy, and imaging.
We hope this feature issue will provide a useful reference on mid-IR sources and applications and will stimulate further research in this important research field.

In many ways, Ratatouille is the black sheep of the Pixar family. Produced, along with Cars, in that period when Pixar had broken away from Disney and were searching for a new identity, it often gets lumped in with that film's confused aims and mixed success. It's not the clear classic of Toy Story or Finding Nemo, nor the adult breakthrough of Wall-E or Up.
Fittingly, what Ratatouille is, is misunderstood.
Even in my own memory – having come out of the cinema, raving about how it was a bold statement on the situation of the artist – the film was difficult, even boring. My lofty claims were shot down, not unsurprisingly, as nonsense. Look at the funny English student, they laughed. Watch his silly dance.
And perhaps the dance remains silly. But, watching it again, Ratatouille says everything to me. It is a manifesto on originality, what should matter (and what, in reality, does matter) in Great Art. I'll break this down….
Remy – the film's hero, the plucky, sellable-to-the-kids rat – is an artist. His art, for the purposes of the film, is cookery. It is clear from the beginning that this passion goes far beyond your everyday omnomnom, and to the fervour of an auteur. He is visited by visions of his hero, the chef Gusteau, and risks his life to pursue this passion.
Yet, he remains tied down by his roots. Remy is of course a rat: the natural enemy of the cooking industry. Though he looks to the stars, Remy is unarguably of the gutter. I couldn't help but see an undertone of class to his position- all the talk of snobbery and 'us vs them' has the ring of working class rhetoric. You could read in multiple other ways, but that's the one that – significantly, perhaps – stood out to me.
Though, as Remy's hero proclaims throughout: "anyone can cook", regardless of who they are.
But Remy's family don't understand. Their ambitions focused purely on survival, Remy's interests are surplus. The humans, the class he (pretentiously, you might say) aspires to, repress him. Early on, by shooting a shotgun at him.
So Remy ends up in Paris, gay ol' Paree, in the company of multiple humans. What they represent is where the film starts to get interesting, and complex.
Our secondary hero, the gangly ginger human Linguini, is just a proxy for Remy's ability. For the purposes of the film's metaphor, he is just another part of the artist: the physicality, the real life, struggling to juggle multiple demands and stresses. The resemblance between him and Remy is not coincidental.
Ego vs. Remy is the film's great success. Ego is the critic who has lost his passion for what he criticises, Remy the untrained but talented outsider. Ego is, as Linguini oh-so-tactfully points out, "thin for someone who likes food." There is a parallel with Remy here- earlier on, his family accused him of looking thin. Why, they ask. Not enough food? Or too much snobbery?
The moment of Ego's rediscovery is glorious. It snaps back to his childhood, revealing the critic's roots as a working-class farmhouse type himself, triggered by the titular ratatouille: "a peasant's dish". The colour shoots back into him, and we see a return to passion: later on, he dons a beret (always a handy piece of short-hand), moving back from critic to artist. All thanks to the work of an outsider, who is finally outed.
Maybe I am putting too much thought into this. Maybe it is a kids' film, plain and simple, untainted by the thoughts and experiences of its writer/director. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions: I'm Remy, all passion and no consideration. I haven't even talked about the visual poetry of the tasting sessions, the lump the ending left in my throat, how much I identified with… well, everyone. Maybe I have pretensions above my station.
At least I'm not the embittered critic. I'm a few years away from becoming pure, emaciated Ego.
…A full year closer than when I originally wrote this, though.
I'm going to talk a bit about Ratatouille, but what I really want to talk about is a running theme in all of Brad Bird's works.
It's funny you mention class, because every viewing I have of a Brad Bird film (aside from the excellent Iron Giant) is mired by the reoccuring theme of "don't attempt to break out of your role"; a notion that is very much in tune with the class system. Remy is, and apparently always has been, a cook, and Linguini has always been a bit of a failure as a cook and a clumsy human being.
They are never going to go beyond whatever limits they were born with.
In The Incredibles every single character, whose powers aren't inborn, is evil. Mirage, Underminer, Bomb Voyage and finally Syndrome all rely on technology to be superpowered. Syndrome's entire plot is give people the opportunity to become something more and he's villified for it. He's not villified because he's commercializing it, he's punished like Prometheus for the audacity of granting regular human beings the chance to be something more. I think that's an appalling moral to put in a children's film.
By that I'm not saying that you can't deal in more cynical themes in works for children, or that art is somehow bound in a code of ethics, but I wholeheartly hate the idea that the theme can be propegated without problemizing it even slightly.
I've encountered this argument before, and thought about it a bit (especially as regards The Incredibles)but my reading of Ratatouille runs completely counter to that.
I can see how it's a question of natural ability, but Remy does overcome the limitations he's born into.
And do you not think Gusteau's motto is upheld in the film?

Youth Ministry, Virtuous Teen Magazine Help Girls With Self-Image
CP Current Page: Church & Ministries | Wednesday, February 15, 2012
By Jeff Schapiro, Christian Post Reporter | Wednesday, February 15, 2012
The messages that girls receive from teen magazines are often discouraging and degrading to their sense of self-worth, because very few teens feel as thin, pretty or savvy as cover girl models appear to be. That is why Acquire the Fire is teaming up with Virtuous Teen magazine to help spread the word to teenage girls that God loves them just as they are.
Virtuous Teen is a combination of both faith and fashion, and will be made available, at no charge, to as many as 100,000 young people at over 20 upcoming ATF events this spring. ATF youth events are a part of Teen Mania Ministries, one of the nation's largest Christian youth organizations.
The magazine was founded by Carli Jean Miller in 2009, when she was just a 16-year-old high school student. She, too, had felt the impact of the media on her own self-image, telling The Christian Post on Wednesday that she once felt she had to be "perfect."
"I felt as if I could never live up to the standard ... that they set of being skinny, being basically perfect and then being able to judge people by their looks and not by what's in their heart," said Miller. As a "teenager standing for purity," she was also upset at how casually some teen magazines could discuss sex as if every teenage girl was doing it.
But she knew she wasn't alone. She began speaking to girls at other churches, telling them that "the Lord loves them the way they are," and that they should be more concerned with how God wants them to grow and change. That is the message she continues to share today through Virtuous Teen.
"Bottom line, the magazine, I just want it to encourage girls just to be themselves but to have fun and not to think that being a Christian is something they should be looked down [on] for or be ashamed of," she said.
Her magazine is clearly geared toward teenagers, with content that includes budget-friendly fashion ideas, reasonable exercise and nutrition suggestions, as well as dating advice. Unlike other magazines, however, she does a minimal amount of editing to a model's features once their photograph has been taken.
"What they see in those magazines is just not real. It's not, because 99.9 percent of images in those magazines are Photoshopped, and ... I know the desire of God's heart is for these girls to see the cover girl how they truly are," said Miller. She says she will only touch-up a photo if the model has acne, which she says can be embarrassing to them.
The magazine has only published four issues so far, one per year since it was founded, and Miller is currently in the process of raising money through advertisers to produce 100,000 new issues for the ATF events this spring.
Although she doesn't have much money, and her only co-workers have been a staff of volunteers, Miller says she has sold a few magazines internationally through the Internet and has even been contacted by a former "America's Next Top Model" contestant about working with her.
Although she has a lot of work ahead of her to prepare for the ATF events, Miller believes her magazine is the "Lord's work" and says that "even though we are small ... He's not small. So I'm not scared about that at all, it's just according to His timing and His planning."
Kemtal Glasgow, director of Acquire the Fire, told CP that it is okay if Miller can't produce all 100,000 copies of the magazine, and that they will take as many as she can produce. He is simply glad that someone so young – she is only 19 years old – is living out her faith and trying to make a difference.
"One of the things for us is we want to appreciate and celebrate the fact that we've got a young person who has taken the initiative to make an impact in her generation while she's young," said Glasgow. "That is, in large part, the message of Acquire the Fire, that you can make an impact while you're young."

The Cauayan City National High School was established on June 3, 1997 as high school extension of Cauayan Polytechnic College with an initial enrolment of 1,065 and a teaching force that comprised five regular teachers, four Local School Board teachers and ten PTCA –paid teachers. The LGU-owned Ladies' Dormitory located at Burgos St. in Barangay District I served as the first campus where 18 freshmen sections were housed.
The school was established through the concerted efforts of the administration of Cauayan Polytechnic College, now Isabela State University, Cauayan Campus, the Local Government Unit of Cauayan, then a first-class municipality, and the Parent Teachers and Community Association(PTCA) to cushion the impact of Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Order number 3, series of 1996 mandating the gradual phase down of secondary programs to a maximum of 500 students and limiting the number of freshmen entrants to 125.
The following school year registered an 108% increase of enrolment students that prompted the school administration to put up satellite classes in the different barangays to accommodate all enrolees. Two satellite classes were organized in each of the following barangays: Buena Suerte, Dabburab and District I. On the other hand, eight satellite classes were formed in Minante I.
The school year 1998-1999 registered a record high enrolment of 3,878 students that necessitated the implementation of two-shift scheme. Students who came from outer most barangays and nearby municipalities took the morning session (7:30-12:30), while students who came from the poblacion took the afternoon session (1:00-6:00). It was also during this time when the school acquired a three-hectare lot in barangay Turayong, the present location of the school. The first school building was erected during this period- the Heherson Alvarez building which now serves as the administration building of the school.
On July 19, 1999, the school achieved its autonomy from its mother school and was named CAUAYAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL by virtue of a Department Order. In January 2000, the school was included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) with an initial yearly MOOE of Php 55,000.
It was also during this year when the first three regular teaching items were given to the school. Since then, more buildings were erected yearly to accommodate over 4,000 students in the new campus. More teacher items were also given to the school to address teacher shortage. Sillawit Extension was also established during the School Year 2000-2001 with an initial enrolment of 300 students. The school serves four barangays, namely: Sillawit, Nungnungan II, Alinam and San Isidro. After five years of operation, CNHS Sillawit Extension was separated from CNHS and it became Sillawit National High School.
This development diminished the yearly enrolment to over 3,478 students in the succeeding year. In December 2008, CCNHS Research Extension located at Minante I, Cauayan City was established with two sections in the First Year Curriculum. Students came from the following feeder barangays, namely: San Francisco, Faustino, Minante I and II.
January 4, 2010 ushered a brighter prospect for CCNHS because a new school head took the leadership helm, Mr. John R. Mina. He is not new to the school since he was one of the pioneer teachers of the school. He rose from the ranks- classroom teacher for six years (1997-2003), Head Teacher III for four years, and Principal I for three years.
The new school head who finished his Masters degree at the College of Education of the University of the Philippines Diliman as a NEAP scholar instituted many reforms in the school that ushered in a culture of excellence. His term is indubitably the crowning glory or golden age of the school, so to speak because of the numerous feats and achievements of the school, most notable of which are three national awards- Brigada Eskwela Best Implementer-Big School Category in 2010, 2011 and 2012, Hall of Fame Award in Brigada Eskwela, and Grand Champion in the Nationwide Search for Best School Forest Park. The school received a total of 1.2 -million pesos as cash prize for the latter.
Moreover, the school etched a lasting legacy in various academic, co and extra-curricular competitions from division to international levels. The school has become a benchmark of schools in Region 02 with the outstanding feats of students, teachers and the school head by reaping awards and recognitions in the different disciplines.
As development happened from time to time, deeper harmonious rapport between and among teachers, parents and students and community folks had been established. Many more are expected to be constructed in the institution these coming years with the inclusion of the full implementation of the Senior High School Program.
The construction of academic nooks, library extension stakeholders' gymnasium, concrete fence, comfort rooms and learning resource centers by department, acquisition of school bus, construction of the TLE Food Laboratory, Speech Laboratory, 2-CL Computer Laboratory and 5 CL buildings, perimeter fence, guard house, covered pathway, ground gravelling , levelling and concreting to name a few had greatly advanced the status of both teachers and students to a higher pedestal. The school has been recognized region wide and even nationwide with its great academic achievement having produced students and teachers excelling in various fields.
The school at present offers five curricula, namely, Science, Technology & Engineering (STE), Special Program in the Arts (SPA) Curriculum , K-12 Enhanced- Basic Education Curriculum , Special Program in Sports(SPS) and Special Education(SPED).
Meanwhile, success has been achieved in various academic and skills competition. These added laurels bagged by this pillar of excellence.

Drawing on the exciting developments that have occurred in the anthropology of art over the last twenty years, this study uses ethnographic methods to explore shifts in the art market and global contemporary art. Recognizing that the huge diversity of global phenomena requires research on the ground, An Anthropology of Contemporary Art examines the local art markets, biennials, networks of collectors, curators, artists, patrons, auction houses, and museums that constitute the global art world. Divided into four parts – Picture and Medium; World Art Studies and Global Art; Art Markets, Maecenas and Collectors; Participatory Art and Collaboration – chapters go beyond the standard emphasis on Europe and North America to present first-hand fieldwork from a wide range of areas, including Brazil, Turkey, and Asia and the Pacific. With contributions from distinguished anthropologists such as Philippe Descola and Roger Sansi Roca, this book provides a fresh approach to key topics in the discipline. A model for demonstrating how contemporary art can be studied ethnographically, this is a vital read for students in anthropology of art, visual anthropology, visual culture, and related fields.

Marvel and ABC finally dropped the first trailer for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sixth season last week, but it arguably left fans with more questions than answer. Now, the OG agent himself has opened up to provide a few answers.
After saving the world a few too many times, Coulson was on the verge of death at the end of Season 5. The first look at Season 6 seemingly confirmed he really is gone, with Mack leading the team forward for a new era of S.H.I.E.L.D. But, then we reached the "stinger" moment of the teaser — which revealed Clark Gregg is back for Season 6, he just won't be playing Coulson anymore. Wait, what?
The trailer seems to set up this mystery man as a villain, though there's plenty we don't know. Is he a Skrull? A robot? A shapeshifter? Something else? We'll have to wait until the summer to find out.
In the meantime, Gregg confirmed he's definitely not playing Coulson this time around, and said it's been "very strange" getting into the head of a new character wearing the same face.
As for his return in general, Coulson joked that not even death (or a few of them) can keep him away from the MCU for long. In addition to his return to S.H.I.E.L.D. this summer, Gregg will also be playing a younger version of Coulson on the big screen in Captain Marvel.
Have some theories on Gregg's new role? Glad Coulson is still a major player almost a decade later?


Dihan Avishka Gunawardene (born May 26, 1977 in Colombo), Avishka Gunawardene is a former Sri Lankan cricketer, who played Tests and ODIs. He served as the Sri Lanka A coach for many years, and then in 2017, he was first appointed for the national team as the batting coach.
He is an explosive left-handed opening batsman who first came into the public eye during the 1998 Commonwealth Games, when he scored a century and achieved the highest score in the South African defeat. His only ODI century was 132 against West Indies at Nairobi during the ICC KnockOut Trophy in 2000. In that match, he revived the Sri Lankan innings from a precarious 10/2 to 287/6 and handed the Lankans 108 runs victory. He did not succeed in the longer version of the game.
He made his Test debut against Pakistan during the Asian Championship in 1999 with 43 which remains his highest individual score in his 6 Tests.
Despite a few centuries, avoidable dismissals stopped Gunawardene from regularly appearing for the team. Gunawardene's opportunity arose in the Asia Cup in 2004 when Marvan Atapattu was rested for a game. Gunawardene has been involved in Twenty20 cricket since 2004. A ban on he and four other Sri Lankans (imposed for joining the Indian Cricket League) was lifted in September 2008, meaning Gunawardene was free to play domestic cricket in Sri Lanka.
Avishka is currently the head cricket coach of Sinhalese Sports Club and was recently the coach for the winning SLPL 2012 team Uva Next. He also serves as a director at Legacy Travels (Pvt) Ltd.
