Dynasty: Cristal's Bleeding Out in a Burning House! — What Happens Next?
TVLine hits rewind on the TV season's biggest "What Happens Next?" finales, then invites you to predict the cliffhanger outcomes.
Dynasty's ratings may not be on fire, but in the final moments of its first season finale, nearly half of its main characters certainly were.
The CW soap wrapped Season 1 last month by trapping Alexis, Stephen and Culhane in a burning house — on Stephen's wedding day no less — while their loved ones watched helplessly (and glamorously!) from a safe distance. Oh, did we forget to mention that Cristal was also in the house, barely clinging to life after being shot in the stomach? That part's kind of important.
Since all we know about Season 2 is its premiere date (Oct. 12, 8/7c), we're left playing one of our favorite games: Wild Speculation™! Considering TVLine broke the news that Nicollette Sheridan is returning for Season 2 as a series regular, it's guaranteed that Alexis will make it out of the fire — though she'll probably need a new, less crispy place to stay. And although we don't have official confirmation, it's safe to assume that Stephen and Culhane will also live to see another day.
The real question is what's going to happen to Cristal, a mystery made even more complicated by actress Nathalie Kelley's recent interview about her character's fate. "I haven't read anything from Season 2," she told E! Online. "I know that I end up with a gunshot would and in a fire at the end of Season 1, and I know that I won't be filming Season 2." While we could take Kelley's statement — which The CW would not confirm — at face value, we've been duped by enough actresses in our day (see Revenge's Madeleine Stowe) to know that Kelley could simply be attempting to throw us off track.
To that end, let's hear what you think Cristal's future holds (or doesn't hold) by voting in the poll below. And while you're down there, drop a comment with your general hopes for Dynasty's second season.


DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - July 15, 2008) - Gulf Onshore, Inc. (OTCBB: GFON) has commenced its Re-Work/Development Program on leases in Throckmorton Co. and Shakelford Co., Texas.
Gulf Onshore holds approximately 3,200 acres under lease in these counties, currently covering 96 wells, according to Texas Railroad Commission data. 68 of these wells, most of which previously produced oil, are shut-in for various reasons, mostly mechanical; 28 wells currently produce between 35 and 45 BOPD. The Company plans workover activities on 51 wells, including several of the producing wells, with a goal of increasing production to 200-250 BOPD. The remaining wells will be revaluated based on information from the field and either reworked or plugged. Two wells were restored to production last week, but no settled production figures are yet available. Two additional wells were reworked as injection wells for water disposal.
In addition, the Company has identified 121 possible drill sites for future development on these leases.
Preliminary reports indicate proven developed reserves for the 28 producing wells exceed 500,000 BO. Gulf Onshore will update reserve figures as additional wells are brought on-line, and is on-schedule to provide SEC-qualified reserve reports with its 2Q Form 10-QSB.
Gulf Onshore, Inc. is an oil and gas company with a focus on oil and gas prospects and properties, which require further development. Gulf is careful to develop a thorough drilling plan using advanced technologies in both mapping and the use of 3D seismic reports and information. Gulf trades under the ticker symbol GFON.OB on the OTCBB.

ILRI-KALRO display of disease-resistant varieties of Napier grass at the 13th Biennial Scientific Conference and Exhibition of the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), now named the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), in Oct 2012 (photo credit: ILRI/Alexandra Jorge).
'Scientists in East Africa are currently conducting research in order to select a disease resistant Napier grass variety, a Kenyan researcher revealed on Tuesday.
'Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) Senior Researcher Robert Irungu said the aim of the research is to identify a variety of Napier grass that is resistant to stunting disease and headsmuts in the next three years.
We are going to grow all the types of Napier grass in a greenhouse and then subject them to a dose of fungus,' Irungu said on the sidelines of an agricultural forum in Nairobi [the 6th All Africa Conference on Animal Agriculture].
'Irungu said the two fungal diseases account for 90 percent of Napier grass losses in the region. The experts have noted that average milk yields remain low as a result of poor animal feeds.
The research is a joint collaboration between International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), KALRO and the national research institutes of Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda under the East African Productivity project.
'Napier grass is the most common feed for dairy cattle in the region. He said that there over 50 varieties of Napier grass and most are susceptible to the fungal infections.
'"The variety that will withstand the fungus over a period of four planting seasons will be commercialized so that it is accessible to dairy farmers," he said.
'Headsmut is common in central Kenya and stunting is widespread in western Kenya. The fungi spread by insects. Napier normally grows in high rainfall areas in the East Africa region.

"The variety that will withstand the fungus over a period of four planting seasons will be commercialized so that it is accessible to dairy farmers," he said.
I would however like to know whether Napier was the only disease resistant grass found after a series of research.
Could there be other disease resistant pastures or your aim is to make the experiment with Napier as one of the best diary feeds.
There could be many disease resistant pasture grasses but this research focused on Napier grass because it is high yielding and already widely used in the region. Dairy farmers are struggling to feed their cows due to the loss in yield caused by the diseases so this became priority for research. There is also the alternative to use forage legumes or fodder trees which do not suffer from these diseases as livestock feed.

iGas potential O&G winner as it moves to hydrogen and geothermal
By John Foster
Related Topics: Natural gas, AIM stocks, Shell [LON:SHEL], Harbour Energy [LON:HBR], The oil and gas sector, IGas Energy [LON:IGAS], TotalEnergies [Euronext:TTE], Penny Stocks to Watch
Although news that the fall in the price of wholesale gas – and the eventual feed-through to lower household energy bills (some time in July) – is welcome, gas bills will remain much higher than before the War in Ukraine saw gas prices escalate early last year.
The trend was already edging upwards by late 2021 with the energy cap – at the time GBP1,138 a year – remaining much higher than this level even after prices fall in the summer with the average bill being in the region of GBP2,200 according to energy consultancy, Cornwall Insight.
The need to ensure supply and energy independence has been high on the agenda. In Britain this has sparked an interest in securing new supplies, with the government casting its eye towards the North Sea and recently opening a new round of bids – the 33rd so far – for offshore exploration licences in the region. The regulator, the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) has received 115 expressions of interest. The government believes that there are 898 North Sea blocks that could be exploited and that it could issue up to 100 new exploration licences.
Windfall tax
However, with one hand the government doth giveth; and with the other the government doth take away, and the windfall tax imposed by Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt in his post-Truss Autumn budget saw the government raise the windfall tax from 25% to 35% of profits. Under the existing rules oil and gas firms are subject to a corporation tax of 30%, and a supplementary tax of 10%. When this is added to the windfall tax, which will run from 1st January 2023 to end-March 2028 and raise around GBP14bn for the Exchequer, the overall tax oil and gas companies will pay on profits will be 75%. This 75% rate, say the energy companies, is a disincentive to invest.
The sector will still have an investment allowance on expenditure, but this will be reduced from 80% to 29%, but will remain at 80% for upstream decarbonisation; a tax loophole that has been criticised by environmentalists and political opponents to the government. The 80% allowance meant that oil and gas companies were getting a 91p tax saving for every GBP1 they invested, which meant the more energy companies invested, the less tax they paid. Although this allowance has been reduced, the 29% rate is still a strong inducement to remain in the market.
Despite the positive reception of the 33rd round of licence bidding, many oil and gas companies have been voting with their feet and walking away from the North Sea. In fact, many have been shrinking their headcount and investments at a time when both need to increase if the government is going to achieve UK energy independence.

North Sea review
One company that has followed this trend has been FTSE 250-listed Harbour Energy [LON:HBR] that was already grumbling about a 25% windfall tax last year, and did not participate in the 33rd round. Harbour's share price has been on the decline for a while, peaking at 647.2p in September 2021 and opening today at 322.99p and is highly leveraged so has been paying increasing amounts to the banks as interest rates have risen. It has threatened to cut hundreds of jobs in the North Sea – something it blames on the windfall tax. Incidentally, the company did report a twelvefold rise in profits to GBP1.3bn in August 2022, increasing pay-outs to shareholders by USD200m though an additional USD100m dividend and increase in its share buy-back scheme from USD200m to USD300m.

Total Energies [LON:TTE] and Shell [LON:SHEL] were two other majors who said that they were reviewing their plans for North Sea investment. The North Sea does have a viable future, with some 20 to 30 million barrels of oil yet untapped and the ability to fuel the UK for at least another 30 years.
However, the search for hydrocarbons has also intensified on land, and although fracking is publicly unpopular, and has been called unviable by some industry commentators, there is estimated to be between 90 and 330 billion cubic metres of natural gas that can be extracted from shale fracking in the UK up to 2050. This figure from the trade body, the United Kingdom Onshore Oil and Gas Association has been rounded on by opponents of fracking, and even UKOOG admits uncertainty around the numbers.
In the twilight of Liz Truss' (albeit very short) administration, the government lifted its ban on onshore fracking. The problems that Cuadrilla Resources has had in bringing fracking to commercial production have been well-documented. Even Chris Cornelius, the geologist who founded Cuadrilla has said that fracking in the UK was unlikely to work on a commercial scale, as the geology doesn't support fracking operations (he resigned from the company in 2014).
But that has not dissuaded iGas [LON:IGAS] the AIM-listed, Lincoln-headquartered onshore oil and gas exploration and production company from trying to find the goose that could lay the golden egg. The company currently produces around 2,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day from some 100 sites across the UK, with, the company says: "significant potential yet to be delivered from our assets". The company has also branched out into renewable energy, having acquired geothermal energy producer, GT Energy in 2020.
The company's shares have been over the longer term disappointing, however the Truss government's announcement last year did give the share price a shot in the arm, with prices in September peaking at 106.5p. However, soon after, Truss's successor, Rishi Sunak reimposed the UK-wide ban on fracking in October and the iGas share price fell back once again. Since the turn of the year there has been some life in the stock, with the company offering a year-to-date return of 37.2%, which, given it is production, complements the one year return of 56.7%. The company has had a volatile year, with shares ranging from 13p to 112p over a 52-week period.

The company is focused on onshore wells in the East Midlands and the Weald Basin in the south of England. The company, as well as looking at geothermal production, is also exploring opportunities to reform its existing gas production into hydrogen partnered with Bayotech, a leading technologies business in hydrogen generation systems.
Geothermal & hydrogen
Although the UK is moving to net zero by 2050, up until that point there will be a need for oil and gas, as recent global events have demonstrated. The two-pronged diversification strategy, focuses on building up geothermal through its subsidiary GT Energy, also places iGas in a good position for being part of the New Green Economy. Its work with Bayotech, to reform its gas to hydrogen though miniaturised Steam Methane Reformation is also positioning the company for the future.
In its last results for 1H22, iGas reported a strong operating cashflow of GBP16.4m before working capital and realised hedges, up from GBP6.4m in 1H21. The company declared revenues of GBP30.5m, up from GBP16.6m in 1H21 and had reduced its net debt to GBP9.7m from GBP12.2m at 31st December 2021, with significant headroom remaining under its RBL facility. Like most of the industry, profit was up, with a big swing to GBP6.2m profit from a GBP14.2m loss the year previously. However, net production fell to 1,865 barrels of oil equivalent per day from 2,005 a year ago. iGas blamed this on equipment failure caused by supply chain issues.
Industry attention remains focused on the North Sea – which is undoubtedly vast – and onshore is often given scant attention. Although the moratorium on fracking was a blow for onshore producers, the potential of hydrogen conversion and geothermal bodes well for iGas, making it a small stock to watch.

Le complot de Latréaumont, du nom de son principal instigateur, est un complot contre le roi de France Louis XIV, qui a été démasqué en 1674. C'est le seul complot contre l'État qui eut lieu sous le règne du Roi-Soleil, c'est également l'un des rares complots visant l'instauration d'une république en France avant la Révolution française.

Inspiré par Gilles Duhamel de Latréaumont, le complot fut dénoncé, et ses membres furent exécutés après procès.

Histoire de la conspiration

Origines
En 1659, la révolte des sabotiers se déclenche à la suite des mesures du cardinal Mazarin pour restreindre les dépenses engendrées par la guerre franco-espagnole et la Fronde. Ce soulèvement, bien qu'essentiellement paysan, comporte toutefois dans ses rangs quelques nobles, dont le marquis de Bonnesson, l'un des meneurs, qui sera décapité à la Croix du Trahoir, à Paris, en .

Un autre noble, Latréaumont, avait tenté de soulever une partie de la Normandie, proposant aux paysans de se mettre sous le commandement du comte d'Harcourt. Latréaumont avait déjà, en 1657, tenté un tel soulèvement en proposant cette fois-ci de mettre le maréchal d'Hocquincourt, alors au service de l'Espagne, à la tête des insurgés.

Latréaumont, en exil après les répressions de ces différentes insurrections, cherche une autre occasion de s'opposer au gouvernement royal. Il s'installe à Amsterdam, où il rencontre notamment le comte de Guiche, lui aussi exilé par la volonté de Louis XIV. Les deux hommes se croisent durant les cours du philosophe Franciscus van den Enden, dit Affinius, qui aurait été le professeur de Baruch Spinoza. Ne croyant pas en Dieu, Affinius y prône une pensée égalitariste, mettant l'accent sur l'éducation des masses, afin de ne pas laisser le savoir aux mains d'une élite.

En 1671, maître Affinius quitte Amsterdam pour rejoindre Paris, où l'ont invité ses anciens élèves Guiche et Latréaumont, revenus d'exil. Il y fonde une école de latin dans le quartier de Picpus, qui sert également de pension de famille.

En 1672, Louis XIV déclare la guerre à la république des Provinces-Unies. Cette guerre a plusieurs buts :
 continuer à conquérir les Pays-Bas espagnols, considérés par le roi de France comme revenant de droit à sa femme, Marie-Thérèse d'Autriche (la conquête avait d'ailleurs commencé par la guerre de Dévolution) ;
 éclipser les grands chefs militaires français, le Grand Condé ou Turenne, grâce aux brillants succès du roi en campagne ;
 punir la république protestante, refuge de nombreux opposants politiques et moquant ouvertement le souverain français.

Le secrétaire d'État à la guerre, Louvois, pousse également au conflit.

Déroulement

Latréaumont arrive à intéresser plusieurs nobles français à son complot :
 son neveu, le chevalier Guillaume des Préaulx (ou de Préau) ;
 la maîtresse de celui-ci, la marquise Louise de Villars (en réalité Villers-Bordeville) ;
 et surtout son ami Louis de Rohan, dit « le chevalier de Rohan », compagnon d'enfance de Louis XIV, désormais déconsidéré mais toujours reçu à Versailles.

Rohan, Grand veneur de France à 20 ans (en survivance de la charge de son père), puis colonel des gardes du roi, dut démissionner de la première charge après avoir joué un rôle dans la fuite de Hortense Mancini du domicile conjugal. Cette histoire, associée à une tentative de séduction de Madame de Montespan, maîtresse royale, l'avait complètement perdu aux yeux du roi. Il était de plus extrêmement endetté.

Latréaumont parvint également à intéresser à la conspiration quelques nobles normands (notamment les comtes de Flers et de Créqui). Pour cacher le petit nombre de conjurés, et surtout leur peu d'importance et de valeur, Latréaumont, Préaux et Villars affirmaient à quelques complices que de hauts personnages étaient également partie prenante : le cardinal de Retz, le duc de Bouillon, le comte de Matignon et le marquis de Beuvron (lieutenant général de Normandie), bien que non impliqués, étaient souvent nommés.

Tout comme celle des sabotiers, la préparation de cette révolte était motivée par une réforme pécuniaire, instaurée cette fois-ci par Colbert : celui-ci obligeait les nobles souhaitant vendre des bois à payer deux impôts là où autrefois ils n'en payaient qu'un (« Tiers et danger »). Van den Enden participe également à l'élaboration de la conspiration, qui trouve des appuis dans les Provinces-Unies comme auprès des Espagnols, notamment chez le comte de Monterrey, gouverneur des Pays-Bas espagnols.

Petit à petit, l'idée se dessine : soulever la Normandie, y établir une république (la rédaction de sa constitution, confiée à Affinius, étant déjà fort avancée). Dans le même temps, alors que le dauphin vient chasser le loup en Normandie, l'enlever et le garder comme otage, tout cela alors que le roi est à la guerre. Le pacte proposé par Latréaumont au comte de Monterrey comprend plusieurs exigences, notamment en armes, en hommes et en argent, mais promettait de livrer aux Hispano-Hollandais certains ports : Quillebeuf tout d'abord, puis Abbeville et Le Havre, voire Honfleur ou Dieppe ensuite. Latréaumont prévoit également de pousser jusqu'à Versailles pour piller le château. Mais le soutien espagnol est primordial : pour confirmer l'appui de Monterrey, Van den Enden est chargé de faire l'intermédiaire et est envoyé à Bruxelles ; il part le , et y arrive le . Monterrey, bien qu'ayant peu de confiance envers les tenants de la conspiration, confirme son intérêt et son soutien.

Jean Charles du Cauzé de Nazelle, mousquetaire du roi sans emploi et pensionnaire d'Affinius, s'étonne des visites régulières d'un grand seigneur comme le chevalier de Rohan. Le , alors que Van den Enden part pour Bruxelles, il prévient le secrétaire d'État Louvois des réunions et colloques mystérieux qui ont lieu dans sa pension.

Louis XIV fait arrêter les conjurés le  par le lieutenant de police Gabriel Nicolas de La Reynie. Rohan est arrêté au château de Versailles, au sortir de la messe du roi, par Henri-Albert de Cossé de Brissac, major des gardes du roi. Latréaumont est surpris à Rouen, dans sa chambre à l'hôtel des Uniques. Il résiste à son arrestation par le même Brissac, ancien camarade de régiment, et, blessé, meurt peu après. Van den Enden, de retour de mission de Bruxelles le , tente de fuir, mais est rattrapé par les gens d'armes français.

Devenir des conjurés

Enfermés à la Bastille, tous les conjurés (Rohan excepté, eu égard à son rang) sont soumis à la question. Ils sont tous condamnés pour crime de lèse-majesté. Le , devant l'entrée de la prison rue Saint-Antoine, ils sont tous exécutés : les nobles sont décapités et les roturiers (comme Van den Enden) pendus.

Les biens de Rohan sont confisqués, puis restitués à la duchesse de Montbazon, deuxième femme de son grand-père Hercule de Rohan-Montbazon.

Les écrits des conjurés, comprenant notamment la future constitution républicaine, furent brûlés le , place de la Bastille, dans un autodafé ordonné par les commissaires délégués à l'instruction du procès.

La Bibliothèque nationale de France conserve les minutes du procès.

Nashville Predators won the game, which was not unexpected. Nashville Predators entered the game as the favorite, with a 60% chance to win before the game started.
Dallas Stars made it a game early, taking their largest lead during the middle stretches of the game, when they had a 63% chance of winning. But Nashville Predators responded, regaining the lead and maintaining control for the duration of the game.

In 1972, Lee Morgan was at Slug's Saloon in New York City for a gig when a fight broke out.
Morgan grabbed the aggravator and threw her outside of the club, only to be shot in the chest with a pistol. Holding the pistol was his common law wife, Helen.
The events surrounding that snowy, February evening are pieced together in a haunting but beautiful new documentary: "I Called Him Morgan" reveals Helen was not only her husband's murderer, but the same woman who nourished him out of a heroin addiction and into an incredible career as one of jazz's greatest trumpeters.
Host Larry mantle speaks with the writer-director of the film, Kasper Collin, about its making and the impact of Morgan's music on his life.
"I Called Him Morgan" is playing at the Laemmle's Playhouse and the Laemmle's Monica Film Center.

Jesseca Dupart was born in the United States of America on 12 February 1982. She had a very tough adolescence after falling pregnant for the first time when she was only 15. Jesseca got pregnant again when she was 17, her family never supported her, and they finally kicked her out of the family.
Then she decided to move in with her ex-boyfriend and again got pregnant with her third child when she was 19 years old. Her family is unknown, and even Jesseca never shared anything about her family.
Jesseca failed to continue her studies because of childcare and her pregnancies. She became self-sufficient at a very young age because she had to support her children and never got any support from her boyfriend. According to her, success depends on perseverance.
Jesseca began her career as a cosmetics artist. She gained a lot of experience as a make-up artist. She also contributed several years to becoming an expert in her field. Jesseca worked at RoJes Barber Shop & RoJes Beauty Salon to learn expertise and gain work experience. She worked there for almost six years and decided to make her own hair and beauty product brand.
July 2013 was the time when she announced her solo effort on her Instagram account. This was the time she changed her life. Through her Instagram account, she announced the launch of Kaleidoscope Hair Studio, her solo business. It was a big step from her side that going solo would succeed, but still, she decided to do so.
In 2014, she started her business venture, and in 2016 she succeeded in growing her customer base to more than 43,000. It was not easy for a single mother to build this business empire. Being a single mother of three children, she still made her goal a reality by launching a multi-million dollar company.
Before 2018 the sales of Kaleidoscope were $100,000 per month, but by the end of March, the sales went to $1 million. She was awarded by the mayor of New Orleans, LaToya Cantrell, because she contributed to the area through her business.
She inspired many ladies with her story, how she handled her pregnancies at a very young age and still managed to be a successful businesswoman. Various famous national and international news outlets have covered her success story. Google recognised her impact on New Orleans, and other cities welcomed her commercial enterprise.
She has been praised for her work, and news channels also appreciate her work, as she has done some jobs for the welfare of society. Jesseca has also done charity work, donating to the Bardell Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. Her business venture also has a Guinness Book World Record for distributing the most amount of gifts in a single day during Christmas.
2022 was the year she took her business venture to new heights. In 2018, she raised around 1 million dollars by selling her beauty and hair products. The sales of her Kaleidoscope products never slowed, and she earns a good living from it. She provides a good delivery experience to every customer and never receives any complaints related to delivery.
Jesseca has become a brand endorser because she has many followers on her Instagram handle. She earns money from various sources, and according to some sources, her net worth is around $12 million. In her hometown, she owns a multi-dollar mansion and cars. She drives a Rolls Royce Wraith.
In March 2020, an announcement was made by famous musician Da Brat that she was in a long-term relationship with Jesseca Dupart. The couple got married on 22 February 2022, in Georgia. Jesseca Dupart manages to be a single mother of three children.
When it comes to revealing her baby daddy, she always gets tight-lipped and hesitates to talk about her previous relationship.
A post shared by Jesseca Harris-Dupart (@darealbbjudy)
The couple's marriage was revealed when Jesseca posted a photo of her finger with a large ring. She also added a caption with the photo saying it is great to have choices for any occassion with a hashtag, #bratlovesjudy. As a gift, Brat even gave her a Bentley car.
Back in 2017, the couple first met each other during Jesseca's drop event in Atlanta. However, during the event, they didn't interact with each other. But after some time, they met again in another show.
Jesseca and Brad began dating in 2019, but they decided to keep it secret with the audience. If you're a celebrity and known by millions of people, it becomes impossible to hide things from your fans.
Yes, some news persons caught them holding each other's hands at the Essence Fest. Later, the couple decided to get married and announced their wedding date.
During the wedding day, the couple arrived wearing dresses designed by Ese Azenabor, in a Cinderella-esque horse-drawn carriage. And in the background, Luther Vandross's song, Here and Now, was playing.
Da Brat was accompanied by Jermaine Dupri and on the other hand, Jesseca was with her brother Damon. The reception area was decorated with purple and pink flowers. The couple even took their happiness to their Instagram. Jesseca posted a picture of both dancing surrounded by decorated flowers. She also added a caption saying her dream came true after marrying Brat.
She even shared a video of dancing at the wedding. Talking about the menu section, there were world-famous food items like a duet entree of a Southern fried lobster tail and grilled asparagus with honey whole grain mustard sauce.
And to sweeten the guest's mouth, there was a butter almond cake by La Meeka. While the couple was dancing at the reception, they were accompanied by the Treme Sidewalk Steppers Second Line Band.
I know you're getting excited after reading about the things that happened at their wedding. If you really want to experience those things, you can check out the upcoming season of Brat Loves Judy, featuring their wedding.
Before her relationship with Da Brat, everyone thought that she was straight. Even with her previous boyfriend, she had three children. She has two sons: Byron Jr. and Jay, and one daughter: named Deja Dupart.
Keeping her past in mind, we can't comment on whether she is a lesbian or bisexual.
Jesseca is married to a famous musician named Da Brat.
She is 40 years old.
No, it is all false that she had surgery. Jesseca hasn't talked about anything about surgery in any interview. So we can say that she has a natural body and face.
Jesseca Dupart has been an inspiration for many other women that how she managed to gain success after facing a lot of struggle at a very early age. Want to read more inspirational articles like this? I'm sure you do.

Motherhood At 40 and Beyond: A Conversation About Private Life with Star, Kathryn Hahn
We spoke with actress Kathryn Hahn about her latest role in Private Life and shared feedback on the film from some of its most critical fans.
Amanda Carter Gomes
For those not yet familiar, Private Life is a film recently released at select theaters and on Netflix. The story focuses on a New York couple, Rachel and Richard, who at mid-life (41 and 47, respectively) find themselves on what has become an emotionally, physically and financially exhausting journey to have a child. Last week I had the immense pleasure of interviewing Kathryn Hahn about this project — and for the curious fans out there, Kathryn's relatability does transcend from onscreen to off. She is kind, effusive and funny, and she could not have been more gracious to this rookie celebrity interviewer.
I discovered Private Life early on via Facebook where I read numerous posts from women who have been in the same, or very similar, circumstances to that of Rachel and Richard. Their enthusiasm for a film that finally portrayed, with painstaking accuracy at times, their personal experiences with fertility was a revelation. I asked each of them to share their thoughts with me directly because I wanted to pass them onto Kathryn. Who better to attest to the authenticity of a story than those who see themselves mirrored in its portrayal?
When chatting with Kathryn, I told her how much I appreciate her performance in Private Life, how I appreciate the purity she brings to every character she portrays and the many women I know who were so positively impacted by the delicate, but not uncommon, topic addressed in her project. Then, I share the responses I received from women across my social network:
"I wish everyone I know would watch the movie because I felt so isolated during the few years of that process; isolated from my family who were very judgmental and isolated from all of my friends who seemed to be getting pregnant all around me, who were also judgmental in a lot of ways."
"I appreciated Kathryn's raw emotion, her ability to authentically express the fear and anger associated with what it feels like when you are told you cannot reproduce like everyone else on the planet. It was genuine and honestly, pretty damn real. It might seem extreme to those who haven't lived this journey but for those of us in the thick of it — it is just par for the course."
"What I appreciated most about this film, other than the fact that it brings the challenges of infertility to the surface/into the conversation, was how well it captured the rawness of dealing with infertility in a world that treats it as a dirty secret or something to be ashamed of. So many couples struggle with fertility (one in four I think) — and yet, when it happened to us, I felt like we were the only ones, because no one was talking about it. I'm so glad there's finally a film that's talking about it in a very real way.
I also really appreciated how well it captured the emotional distance and discord infertility creates in a marriage. That was certainly true for us — my husband and I simply had very different experiences, and that creates a divide that Kathryn Hahn and Giamatti showed so well. Beautiful and honest film — thank you!"
Read on to hear from Kathryn herself as she describes how it felt to play a pivotal woman in an against-all-odds place and how she believes "storytelling is an empathy machine."
This film resonates with so many women I know who have either been through or are currently go through the fertility process. What spoke to you about this role? Did you realize that you would, at least in my circles, become a sort of heroine in this film?

Dear Sagittarius: It is time to recognize your purpose, your beauty, and your strength.
I'M GLAD YOU ASKED:Is It Just Me?
"What are we? Are we monkeys filled with art and chaos? Why are we like this? Why do I care so much about what happens to us if nothing lasts and impermanence is the only truth?"
By Laura Sullivan Cassidy
Aran Goyoaga on Cultivating Love in the Kitchen + Meringue Cake with Roasted Apples From Cannelle et Vanille Bakes Simple
"Set a humble table and eat beautiful simple food. Nothing has to be fancy. When you make yourself comfortable, your guests will feel comfortable."
Wow! You are going to make me cry. It is a profound journey that has been in the shadows. To Tamara [Jenkins, the writer and director], it was very important that this couple is going through this together. [Before making this film] I didn't realize the odds are so not stacked in one's favor. I had no idea, you hear the stories of people going into massive debt — if you have not been through it, you don't know or really understand that kind of longing.
I know that you have two children, but did this experience create more empathy for those who pursue parenthood and have less than ideal circumstances and outcomes?
Yes, of course — any type of storytelling you hope is an empathy machine. I became a mom in my thirties; it didn't happen as quickly or as easily as I thought. I did not have to go through nearly as much as Rachel, but just remember the feeling of how do you tell someone to stop that dream...
I found myself identifying with a character in the movie and realized that many of us who have not been on this same fertility path have probably made comments or had similar responses to those of the friends/family in this film. Did you recognize yourself in other characters in this film?
Oh gosh, yes. It's so easy to judge from the outside of it — to say why don't they just adopt or why don't you just use a surrogate? People can just be so flippant! All of these little statements that if you don't have to experience are so easy to judge. Plus, the reality that all of those losses that can happen during the process are a little mourning in themselves.
It's really unfair that in the years that are so precious, when many of us are trying to figure out who we are, having children is the last thing we think about. And yet those are our most fertile times.
As a parent, I felt that so much of what happened in this film was relatable. I could feel the longing with both Rachel and Richard was palpable, but I loved how both perspectives bore equal importance.
To Tamara, it was very important that this couple is going through this together. For her it was more about a marriage than about a baby. The baby is the carrot that is dangled, and all of that can be amazing and the science we have now is incredible, but it takes its toll on a couple when the emotional and monetary cost can be so high.

> Zach Viiala and Hana Sonton to compete at Longines Future Tennis Aces
Zach Viiala and Hana Sonton to compete at Longines Future Tennis Aces
Perth schoolboy Zachary Viiala and Gold Coast schoolgirl Hana Sonton are preparing to fly to Paris after being selected as the Australian representatives for the 2018 Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament.
7 May 2018 | Tennis Australia
Perth schoolboy Zachary Viiala and Gold Coast schoolgirl Hana Sonton are preparing to fly to Paris after being selected as the Australian representatives for the 2018 Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament during Roland-Garros from 31 May to 2 June.
The 12-year-old junior tennis players will represent Australia when they go up against the best players of their age group from 19 countries around the world. The competition will take place on a purpose-built court installed at the foot of the Eiffel Tower during the first week of the French Open, where Longines is the Official Partner and Official Timekeeper.
The winners of the boys and girls tournament will each be awarded an annual grant to support their tennis career and development until their 16th birthday. Both players will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of fellow Australian Destanee Aiava, who won the Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament in 2012.
Aiava, who turns 18 this month is currently working towards qualifying for the French Open after winning the ITF Fuji Yakuhin Cup in Osaka, Japan in April. In 2017, Destanee made history playing in her first Grand Slam at the Australian Open to make her the youngest player in the main draw and the first millennial player (born in the 2000s) to contest a Grand Slam tournament.
Viiala, who is currently ranked number one in his age group, started playing tennis at the age of three and the Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament will be his first time travelling overseas to compete in an international competition. The 2017 12/u Australian Claycourt Champion is looking forward to battling it out with the world's best.
"I love playing tennis and playing in Paris at the Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament during the French Open will be the biggest event I will have participated in to date," Viiala said.
Sonton, who is also currently ranked number one in her age group, hopes to make Australia proud at the tournament and says she can't wait to test her skills against other top players in her age group from countries including Switzerland, USA, Japan, India, South Korea and Spain. Playing in her first tennis tournament at five years old, Sonton most recently won the 12/u Australian Championships in Melbourne in December.
"The opportunity to compete at the Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament is incredibly exciting. I can't wait to compete in Paris," Sonton said.
Former Australian professional tennis player and 2011 French Open mixed doubles champion, Casey Dellacqua, said it was a fantastic opportunity for both kids to play against some of the world's best in Paris.
"The Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament is a great opportunity for our up-and-coming tennis stars to compete amongst some of the best junior tennis players in their age group on an international stage. Bringing the boys and girls competitions together is a great move in celebrating our rising tennis stars," Dellacqua said.
In the lead up to the tournament, Viiala and Sonton will take part in the Longines Academy, a training camp that offers the young participants the opportunity to receive invaluable advice and a coaching session from the Longines Academy coach.
This year's tournament patrons are former World No.2, Alex Corretja and former World No.1, Arantxa Sanchez. Both Longines Future Tennis Aces patrons have made it to the final round at Roland-Garros, with Sanchez winning the tournament three times during her professional career.
Longines has been the Official Partner and Official Timekeeper of the French Open since 2007.

Due to side effects of drugs, colds or flu, thyroid imbalance and smoking.
According to Dr. Michael Finkelstein at Scarsdale Medical Group Hospital, USA, loss of appetite can be caused by your medication.
The culprits include pain relievers, antibiotics, blood pressure drugs. They cause bad effects on the stomach, making people not eat well.
Common diseases can cause temporary loss of appetite such as colds and flu; respiratory infections, bacteria and viruses; Digestive problems such as nausea or constipation and food poisoning, according to Reader's Digest.
Dr. Finkelstein said that patients may be dehydrated and do not want to eat or fear eating.
Both poor functioning thyroid (hypothyroidism) and overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can make you feel less appetite.
The hormone secreting thyroid gland regulates metabolism. Changes in hormone production can cause changes in taste, according to experts at Harvard Medical University.
Dr Finkelstein said cigarettes can irritate the stomach and make you feel tired and dizzy. This affects the gastrointestinal tract and makes you lose your appetite.

In July 2006, scientist Pablo Barreiro and colleagues published "Reproduction Options for HIV-Serodiscordant Couples," in which they recommended methods for human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, serodiscordant couples to procreate. An HIV-serodiscordant couple is one in which one partner is HIV-positive, meaning they carry HIV, and the other is HIV-negative, meaning they do not carry the virus. HIV is a virus that can spread by sexual contact and it attacks the immune system, causing a person with the virus to have weakened responses to illnesses.

The article was published in The New England Quarterly Journal of Medicine and Surgery in 1843.
"The Stein-Leventhal Syndrome: A Curable Form of Sterility" (1958), by Irving Freiler Stein Sr.

In the 1949 article "Revival of Spermatozoa after Dehydration and Vitrification at Low Temperatures," researchers Christopher Polge, Audrey Ursula Smith, and Alan Sterling Parkes demonstrated that glycerol prevents cells from dying while being frozen. Polge and his colleagues discussed several procedures in which they had treated sperm cells from various species with glycerol, froze those cells, and then observed the physiological effects that freezing had on the treated sperm. The researchers concluded that glycerol safely preserves sperm samples from a variety of species.
"Kangaroo Mother Care to Reduce Morbidity and Mortality in Low Birthweight Infants" (2016), by Agustin Conde-Agudelo and José Díaz-Rossello
In 2016, physician researchers Agustin Conde-Agudelo and José Díaz-Rossello published "Kangaroo Mother Care to Reduce Morbidity and Mortality in Low Birthweight Infants," in which they compared the effectiveness of Kangaroo Mother Care to that of traditional treatments for low birth weight newborns. Physicians began using Kangaroo Mother Care in the 1970s as a treatment for low birth weight infants. The treatment, which involves exclusive breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact, was created to help mothers care for low birth weight infants in developing.
"The Environment and Disease: Association or Causation?" (1965), by Austin Bradford Hill
In 1965, Austin Bradford Hill published the article "The Environment and Disease: Association or Causation?" in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine. In the article, Hill describes nine criteria to determine if an environmental factor, especially a condition or hazard in a work environment, causes an illness. The article arose from an inaugural presidential address Hill gave at the 1965 meeting of the Section of Occupational Medicine of the Royal Society of Medicine in London, England.
"Pelvic Scoring for Elective Induction" (1964), by Edward Bishop
In the 1964 article, "Pelvic Scoring for Elective Induction," obstetrician Edward Bishop describes his method to determine whether a doctor should induce labor, or artificially start the birthing process, in a pregnant woman. Aside from medical emergencies, a woman can elect to induce labor to choose when she gives birth and have a shorter than normal labor. The 1964 publication followed an earlier article by Bishop, also about elective induction.

"Health Status of Vietnam Veterans III. Reproductive Outcomes and Child Health" (1988), by the US Centers for Disease Control
In 1988, the US Centers for Disease Control published 'Health Status of Vietnam Veterans III. Reproductive Outcomes and Child Health,' which summarized part of the results of the Vietnam Experience Study commissioned by US Congress to assess the health of US Vietnam veterans. They published the article in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The most heavily used herbicide in the Vietnam, Agent Orange, had previously been found to contain a contaminant linked to birth defects in rats.
"Pregnancy Complicating Diabetes" (1949), by Priscilla White
In 1949, Priscilla White published Pregnancy Complicating Diabetes, which described the results and implications of a fifteen-year study about pregnant diabetic women. Published in the American Journal of Medicine, the article details possible causes of and ways to prevent the high fetal mortality rate associated with pregnant diabetic women. Diabetes is a disease in which the body's ability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin is impaired, and it can be particularly dangerous during pregnancies.
Butt Out for Baby (2003), by Child and Youth Health, South Australia
Butt Out for Baby was a smoking cessation intervention guide, aimed at community health workers, that the Child and Youth Health group published in 2003. The literature was released as the chief publication of the Butt Out for Baby Project, a multiple-resource smoking cessation program directed toward young parents and pregnant smokers, following the revelation of a relatively high rate of smoking among that group. The authors published the pamphlet in Adelaide, South Australia, and did not credit themselves individually.
"Perimortem Cesarean Delivery" (1986), by Vern Katz, Deborah Dotters, and William Droegemueller
In 1986, Vern L. Katz, Deborah J. Dotters, and William Droegemueller published "Perimortem Cesarean Delivery," an article in which they developed the Four Minute Rule for perimortem cesarean sections. The Four Minute Rule states that if a pregnant woman's heart stops beating, physicians should begin an operation to deliver the fetus within four minutes and aim to have the fetus delivered within five minutes of cardiac arrest.
Birth without Violence (1975), by Frederick Leboyer
In Birth without Violence (1975), French obstetrician Frederick Leboyer describes in poetic form the possible perceptions and feelings of embryos and fetuses before, during, and after birth. His work has helped to promote a gentler and more sensitive birthing method with the goal of easing the newborn's transition from the womb to the outside world. Leboyer's birthing method influenced later birth techniques such as water birth and unassisted childbirth.
"Limitations in Abortion Legislation: A Comparative Study" (2007), by Orli Lotan
Written by Orli Lotan on behalf of the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) Center for Research and Information, "Limitations in Abortion Legislation: A Comparative Study" (hereafter abbreviated "Legislation") examines abortion legislation in Israel, the US, Canada, and a number of European countries. The study also acknowledges the medical, moral, ethical, and religious implications of abortion and the impact of such legislation on society in each country.

Ovum Humanum: Growth, Maturation, Nourishment, Fertilization and Early Development (1960), by Landrum Brewer Shettles
Ovum Humanum was written and compiled by Dr. Landrum Brewer Shettles while he worked as a doctor in New York. The publication contains an atlas of photographs of the human egg cell that Shettles took while working at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. Stechert-Hafner, Inc, a publishing company based in New York City, published the book in 1960. The book presents a collection of color photographs that shows detail of the human egg that had never been seen before, providing a reference for scientists and doctors that documented the anatomy of these cells.
Birth Control or the Limitation of Offspring (1936), by William J. Robinson
Birth Control or the Limitation of Offspring was written by American eugenics and birth control advocate William J. Robinson. First published in 1916, the final edition (forty-eighth) was published in 1936, the same year that Robinson died. As a medical doctor and author, Robinson used his influence to promote propaganda for "fewer and better babies," by focusing on contraception. Even Margaret Sanger, another prominent eugenics and birth control advocate, took great interest in this book. Robinson had three goals in mind when writing Birth Control.
"The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis" (1952), by Alan M. Turing
In 1952 the article "The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis" by the British mathematician and logician Alan M. Turing was published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. In that article Turing describes a mathematical model of the growing embryo. He uses this model to show how embryos develop patterns and structures (e.g., coat patterns and limbs, respectively). Turing's mathematical approach became fundamental for explaining the developmental process of embryos.
"A Genomic Regulatory Network for Development" (2002), by Eric H. Davidson, et al.
In 2002 Eric Davidson and his research team published 'A Genomic Regulatory Network for Development' in Science. The authors present the first experimental verification and systemic description of a gene regulatory network. This publication represents the culmination of greater than thirty years of work on gene regulation that began in 1969 with 'A Gene Regulatory Network for Development: A Theory' by Roy Britten and Davidson. The modeling of a large number of interactions in a gene network had not been achieved before.

Picture it: A future in which books are banned and critical thinking is contrary to the law. If you're one of those men and women who simply can not stand college and all of its pesky reading and thinking, this may sound like a pretty sweet deal. Not too fast, Goofus. You only have to get a few pages into Fahrenheit 451 to realize this bookless future is not all sunshine and rainbows.
Sure, the dreaded book report may be something of the past, but life seems much cruddier withoutDickens, Tolkien, and The Devil Wears Prada.
Ray Bradbury first composed this narrative as a brief story called "Bright Phoenix" at 1947. The work improved to adolescence as a novella named The Fireman, and eventually became a full-grown novel in 1953. This was Bradbury's first Big Important Serious Work, however he was already famed for science fiction stories such as his 1950 collection The Martian Chronicles. These stories set Bradbury on the map, however Fahrenheit obtained his name on the literary A listing.

As a key enabler of the Internet of Things, cellular network based communications between devices (things) have been growing rapidly in recent years, being used in a wide range of services such as security, metering, health, remote control, tracking, and so on. However, a critical issue in this communications is the energy efficiency as typically these devices are powered by batteries of low capacity. Therefore, it is of special interest to optimize the energy consumption to extend the operative lifetime of the devices.
To approach this issue, these systems require intelligent algorithms to modify behaviors of the devices as well as the overall network so they can dynamically adapt their settings to improve the energy efficiency. This idea can be achieved by making the devices aware of their states by means of contexts, which have been studied in computing systems to allow devices to adapt automatically to different situations and modify their operative modes for better performance.
To make this awareness possible it is necessary to identify such contexts. But what exactly is a context? By summarizing definitions by different sources it can be said that if a piece of information can be used to characterize a situation of a device, then that piece of information is a context; i.e. location, environmental information, settings of the application such as data reporting frequency, average packet size etc. As for context awareness, names such as adaptive, responsive, and context-sensitive are associated to this term. If the machines are taught to identify, sense, interpret and react automatically to their contexts then it can be possible to maximize their energy efficiency.
The standardization and regulator entities such as the 3GPP and ETSI are working on the standardization, but as it's a demanding task due to the vast amount of applications, their diverse traffic characteristics, and quality of service (QoS) requirements. Even if the standards are not in place and some of the context-aware optimization require it, a lot can be done in specific solutions. For example, if a sensor only needs to report its data (e.g. temperature) once every five minutes and the reporting takes six seconds, it can put itself in sleep mode for 98% of the time and thereby extend battery life by 50 times.
Do you see other application where this is applicable?

International gospel star, Don Moen has been invited to headline the Ghana @ 60 anniversary celebrations alongside local Ghanaian gospel musicians.
Some Ghanaians on social media including gospel musicians thinks otherwise, saying that as a celebration of Ghana's 60 anniversary; inviting the American musician was needless. They advocated that a local musician should rather headline the concert.
Representing the musicians of Ghana, Bice Osei Kuffour, popularly known as Obour has said that, that controversy was needless and condemned it accordingly.
"Don Moen's invitation is a private initiative and is sponsored and organised by private individuals. The Don Moen concert is an informal thanksgiving celebration that happens to coincide with such a momentous occasion as our anniversary," he told Graphic Showbiz in an interview.
Obour added that besides Don Moen, international female gospel artiste, Sinach has also been invited to join in the celebrations.
"We as a country have come a long way and our 60th anniversary is a big deal for us. It is only fitting that we extend a hand of invitation to fellow artistes such as Don Moen and Sinachi to join us in celebrating," he said.
Obour also outlined a number of activities and events to commemorate the Ghana @60 celebrations, which also happens to coincide with the Union's annual Ghana Music Week Festival.
According to him, on Friday, March 3, there would be a Ghana Music Day on radio and television. This will be followed by the International Music Day and Ghana Music Honours on Saturday, March 4.
"On Tuesday, March 7, MUSIGA will hold a seminar dubbed the, Talk Music Business Seminar– The West African Experience, at the British Council in Accra. The celebration will culminate in the Ghana 60 Years on Music Festival from Friday March 10 to Sunday March 12.

As a journalist, how do you cover a story where your colleagues at another outlet are forced to flee their own building and report from the street after a man claiming to be God rammed a truck through their lobby? You just tell it like it is. This perfect 44-word Sun lede so nails it: "A man who claimed to be God rammed a stolen landscaping truck into the WMAR television station Tuesday, according to police and employees, barricading himself inside the building for several hours as journalists scrambled to cover their own story from the suburban streets outside." It's even more pleasing when read aloud. This is why we have journalism—if anyone else told you this happened, you'd never believe it.

Die Geschichte kennt keine Wiederholungen des Gleichen: "Renaissancen" sind ihr Widerspruch.
Die letzte Zeile. In: Hans Blumenberg, Aspekte der Epochenschwelle. Cusaner und Nolaner. Ffm, Suhrkamp, 1976.
Sarah Pichlkostner finds in the romantic longing for a journey to the moon the starting point for her new series of works "Fly me to the moon".
KUY calls KAY: "oh darling, we flying to the moon we need to save weight" is, after London and the de ketelfactory in the Netherlands, the third part of her dialogue with material, space and language. Two characters – KUY and KAY created and developed by the artist with self-optimizing apps – are in conversation. Both, independent and yet bound with one to another, create a fictional space. For the exhibition the characters form a meta-level, that pours unconsciously into the minimal abstract sculptures. A non-verbal, physiological basis for the development of the form, that allows to step into Sarah Pichlkostner's artistic world.
The reflecting front glass divides the outside from the inside. The inside from the outside? The limit between the private and the public collapses. In the very same space a seeming science-fictionesque mise-en-scène discloses itself.
Pichlkostner's aluminium and silver glass sculptures abandon the floor and, hanging from the ceiling, float in the space. It is two-fold the duality inhabiting them, that holds upright the tension, dynamics and statics. Automatic instructions for optimization echo out of glass plates. Fragmented, they prove the current loss of language, form and meaning the formative. A post-human absurd theatre.
The artist enables us to fly to the moon with her. All the same, should we drop some weight? Fiction is not a mirror for clichés here. Sarah Pichlkostner has reached a level in her artistic work, where she blends objects and subjects. The superfluous is discarded, the default-language is led into another aggregate state and left – metastable – on the ground. Sarah Pichlkostner provides us with no utopia, she works in the present.
Sarah Pichlkostner (*1988, Schwarzau/Pongau, lives and works in Vienna).

Helicopter Rotor Wash Can Spoil All Your Plans
How close can you come and stay safe?
By Mark Phelps
Bell 407Bell Helicopter
Most pilots are aware of the danger of wingtip vortices from heavy fixed-wing aircraft. And they understand the wisdom of avoiding the mini-tornadoes that flow invisibly outward and down. And intuitively, we all can easily imagine that a helicopter's rotor wash stirs up the air in the immediate vicinity — picture a turbine-powered ceiling fan. But how close is too close, when it comes to takeoffs, landings and taxiing nearby a helicopter? The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) has some guidelines. Section 7-3-7 reads: "Pilots of small aircraft should avoid operating within three rotor diameters of any helicopter in a slow hover taxi or stationary hover." For reference, that translates to giving a Bell 407 at least 105 feet of clearance (35-foot rotor diameter); and a Sikorsky S76 at least 132 feet (44-foot rotor diameter). Think about half a football field (150 feet) and you should have plenty of buffer. In addition, the AIM recommends caution when operating in the vicinity of a landing or departing helicopter, and by extension, even getting uncomfortably close at altitude: "In forward flight, departing or landing helicopters produce a pair of strong, high-speed trailing vortices similar to wing tip vortices of larger fixed-wing aircraft. Pilots of small aircraft should use caution when operating behind or crossing behind landing and departing helicopters."
A recent news item indicated that the helicopter market has been less adversely affected by the economic downturn than the fixed-wing segment. That could mean that those of us still flying fixed-wings might be seeing more helicopter activity on average. I've seen it at my home-base airport, for sure. There's no reason helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft can't coexist pleasantly, as long as pilots of both types show courtesy and respect for each other. For example, helicopter pilots should be conscious of hovering for extended periods of time too close to an active runway, where their rotor vortices could render the runway unsafe to use. And fixed-wing pilots should become familiar with how helicopters operate in the landing pattern, on the runway and around the ramp area. At a non-tower airport, communicating over the Unicom frequency can often clear up just what the other guy is up to, and what's going to happen next.
Call to action: If you have any tips of your own you'd like to share, or have any questions about flying technique you'd like answered, send me a note at enewsletter@flyingmagazine.com. We'd love to hear from you.

The Flemish Government is to demand the return of 17.5 million euro in public subsidies that were given to General Motors while the US car-maker's now-defunct Antwerp plant was still open.
The Flemish Prime Minister Kris Peeters (Christian democrat) broke the news during Wednesday's edition of the VRT's parliament programme Villa Politica.
After the closure of General Motors' Antwerp Opel factory in 2010, the Flemish Government said that it would look into the possibility of getting the money back. The money was given on condition that guarantees on employment levels at the plant were respected.
The Flemish Government's investigation has now been completed.
Mr Peeters says that there is a legal case for demanding the return of 17.5 million euro in Flemish Government subsidies that were given to GM.
Preparations are already under way for legal action to retrieve the cash. If the money is recovered, the Flemish Government intends to use it to help create new jobs around the former Opel site. Talks are still on-going about the sale of the factory site itself.
