Hang gliding is an air sport in which a pilot flies a light and unmotorized foot-launchable aircraft called a hang glider. Most modern hang gliders are made of an aluminium alloy or composite-framed fabric wing. The pilot is ensconced in a harness depending from the airframe, and exercises control by shifting body weight in opposition to a control frame, but other devices, including modern aircraft flight control systems, may be used. In the sport's early days, pilots were restricted to gliding down small hills on low-performance hang gliders. However, modern technology gives pilots the ability to soar for hours, gain thousands of feet of altitude in thermal updrafts, perform aerobatics, and glide cross-country for hundreds of miles. The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale and national airspace governing organizations control some aspects of hang gliding.

Moto GP: Championship analysis by Marc Fort (1st ESO)
This season has been very even with Stoner, Rossi and Lorenzo. The championship has been very amusing and very touching. Pedrosa could not continue their rhythm. Stoner for stress problems could not compete in three races and for that reason he lost many points and the possibility of winning the World cup. But when he returned, he won everything and he threatened of stealing the second position from Lorenzo.

LOST!
After a mysterious and bloody airplane crash, 48 survivors are left stranded on a Pacific Island... in the middle of nowhere. It soon becomes apparent that they will not have to cope only with the forces of nature, but with the island's secrets, including the Dharma Initiative, the 'Lost Numbers', the "others" (or hostiles) and the strange black smoke- to name a few. There is also much more than meets the eye, as it becomes apparent that everyone is connected in some way and that everyone has a purpose to live on the island... and for some, to die.
