The Baader Meinhof Complex
Der Baader Meinhof Komplex
, 2008) - this docudrama about German terrorists features an Agusta A109 which flies by the prison yard. There's also stock footage of Hueys and newsreel clips of helicopters involved in some anti-terrorist operations.
(2006) - this drama features a Bell 412 air ambulance that saves a couple of American tourists who are stranded in a Morocco desert village.
Babylon A.D.
(2008) - this derivative and rather aimless sci-fi action movie features one sequence (CGI only) with a Russian helicopter (a Mil Mi-24 Hind) using an electro-magnet on a cable to airlift the hero's car for a night flight out of the city.
This imagery [pictured on right] is used quite prominently on poster artwork (with a Sikorsky S-65 helicopter, not a Hind!), even though its appearance in the movie is brief.
There's also a Hind hulk being used like a campsite caravan in a day-time scene.
Baby: Secret Of The Lost Legend
(1985) - in this dinosaur adventure, there's an Aerospatiale SA 316 Alouette III, used for transport by the heroes, and the villains get airborne in an Aerospatiale SA 330 Puma helicopter, and fire their machine-guns at the adult brontosaurus.
(2006) - in the opening scenes of this low-budget sci-fi horror, a Bell 47 chases a car along a desert road, forcing the driver to crash, and the chopper lands nearby so that hazmat-suited henchmen can use a flame-thrower to burn the car and destroy stolen evidence of secret military experiments. Later, when the monster escapes from the old house, the helicopter fails to evade the creature's tentacles, and (in some obvious but amusing miniature work) the gigantic blob catches and eats the pilot, crewman, and the helicopter, too!
Bad Boys
(1995) - Michael Bay's comedy thriller set in Miami has a TV news helicopter videotape a noisy public argument between two black cops, and the embarrassing footage is seen later at home on TV by one cop's family.
There's a police chopper (a Bell 206L LongRanger) flying in one night-time scene.
Bad Boys
also features an MD 520N in police markings at the end of the film. -
Bad Company
(2002) - Joel Schumacher's comedy thriller pairs a streetwise hustler (Chris Rock) and a CIA spymaster (Anthony Hopkins) in a sting operation against Russian mafia gang who plan to sell a suitcase packaged nuclear bomb. In the final action sequence, helicopters are used to help track the bad guys' getaway van through the streets of New York.
Badge Of Fury
(2013) - in the first 'murder' scene of this comedy actioner, there's a Chinook transport (CGI) over Hong Kong harbour, and we see the rear door ramp open to reveal an actor and a movie crew. Their stunt goes wrong when the man falls out of the helicopter without his parachute.
(1973) - this drama of two young outlaws (Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek) on a killing spree in South Dakota, features a fine Bell model 47G, used by lawmen to chase the murderous drifters across the American west.
(2012) - this Australian monster movie, about a shark in a flooded shopping centre, features a pair of Black Hawk transports and a Sea King helicopter (all CGI, obviously), that arrive to rescue survivors, right at the movie's end.
Balls Of Fury
(2007) - comedy mixing an
Enter The Dragon
plotline, and James Bond antics, with table-tennis championship heroics, this features a Eurocopter A-Star that brings FBI backup agents to the villain's secret hideout.
Barely Lethal
(2015) - this comedy adventure, about teenage girls trained to be secret agents, features a Eurocopter AS-350 A-Star that lands on the road to stop a car, during the movie's closing scenes.
(2003) -
a Bell UH-1 Huey deploys a US Army Ranger team to the Panamanian jungle for an exercise at the beginning of the movie, with a Eurocopter EC-120 used to search for the team when they fail to report back on time. -
(1989) -
in Tim Burton's big-budget movie version of the classic superhero mythology, the Joker's (Jack Nicholson) helicopter seen at the end of the film is a modified Aerospatiale SA-341 Gazelle. -
For the super-villain's getaway vehicle, a model of the Gazelle helicopter was used in the flying sequences.
Batman Begins
(2005) - in this franchise reboot, the first movie in a trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan, there is a Gotham police helicopter (an Aerospatiale AS350-B2 Ecureuil), that tracks the Bat-mobile 'tumbler' as it jumps between rooftops to evade pursuit by cop cars across the city at night.
Batman: Gotham Knight
(2008) - this animated superhero series features a Bat-copter/ plane that closely resembles the Bell/ Boeing V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft.
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns - part two
(2013) -
in this animated superhero adventure there are at least two helicopters represented. We see that Gotham's police are using white Bell 412 helicopters.
Later, the big machines escorting Superman are Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters. In the comics, most helicopters are generic, but for this animation they drew upon existing types pretty accurately. -
This Batman cartoon movie also features an entirely fictional rotor-craft that appears to be inspired by a design combination of Russian machines like the Mil Mi-17 Hip and Mi-24 Hind gunship.
(1999) - this sci-fi thriller is a monster movie about genetically mutated flying rodents.
A Bell 206L-4 LongRanger appears in the Arizona sequence, where the zoologist heroine (Dina Mayer) explores a hillside cave.
The helicopter lands down at the base of the rocks to pick up the scientist for an urgent flight to the airport.
A Bell 206 Kiowa arrives, with some US army troops, in the Texas town at dawn.
Another LongRanger, with its side doors removed, visits the town at night and drops off equipment for the heroes.
At the military staging area, we see other Kiowa helicopters flying over the camp site.
Battle Circus
(1953) - director Richard Brooks' worthwhile but flawed documentary style adventure, about a military hospital camp in the Korean War, anticipates Altman's satirical
, and that film's TV spinoff. As heroic action movie it's marred by the romance between a surgeon (Humphrey Bogart) and a nurse (blonde June Allyson), but there's still plenty of aerial medevac sequences, featuring a Bell 47D-1 (H-13E) chopper, all photographed with convincing details of how wounded soldiers are airlifted to safety.
Battle Royale
(2001) - this Japanese sci-fi actioner features a couple of Eurocopter AS-355 TwinStar helicopters (one is painted in khaki green), used for transport flights to, and from, the island.
(2012) - this sci-fi blockbuster about invaders from outer space features a Sikorsky SH-60 Sea Hawk landing on the deck of a US Navy warship. Later, there's a Sikorsky CH-53D Sea Stallion landing at a US military base on the Hawaiian island Oahu, where the flying and bouncing buzz-saw attack drones wreck several Sea Stallions on the ground, destroying one of the helicopters just as it attempts to take-off.
Battle Taxi
(1955) - an airborne rescue team in the Korean War show a former hotshot jet pilot the vital role of helicopters in modern combat. This movie uses a lot of stock footage for scenes involving military aircraft. The featured USAF helicopter is a Sikorsky H-19 (S-55) Chickasaw.
(1989-99) - a popular US TV series about L.A. county lifeguards patrolling California's beaches, this show had occasional appearances by Coast Guard helicopters (especially AS365 N2 Dolphins) for rescue and surveillance missions.
The Beast
The Beast Of War
, 1988) - Kevin Reynolds' drama, about a Russian tank playing cat 'n' mouse with Afghan rebels, features a fake Soviet helicopter (it's supposed to be a Mil Mi-8 Hip, but is actually a modified Aerospatiale SA 321 Super Frelon with landing-gear add-ons) that comes to the aid of the tank crew who are lost in the desert. Another helicopter (probably the same one) shows up later, in the film's closing scenes, to rescue the only surviving Russian soldier.
The Beast Must Die
Black Werewolf
, 1974) - this British movie is a mystery horror about identifying a werewolf. It features an Aerospatiale SA-318C Alouette, making a couple of brief appearances on screen, providing aerial support to gunmen hunting down a victim suspected of being the monster.
The Beginning Of The End
(1957) - this low-budget sci-fi monster movie, directed by Bert I. Gordon, includes stock footage of military helicopters (Piasecki H-21 Workhorse/ Shawnee transports) landing US troops. There is also a Bell 47D-1 flying over Chicago while giant locusts rampage across the city.
Behind Enemy Lines
(2001) - while flying over Bosnia, a US Navy recon plane is shot down by Serbian forces, so its aviator (Owen Wilson) has to survive alone in enemy territory and evade sniper patrols, until he can be rescued.
The adventure's climactic American helicopter assault led by a US admiral (Gene Hackman), on a mission that defies the strict orders of his UN peacekeeper boss, unleashes airborne firepower against enemy tanks and ground troops.
"The French Special Forces sent to try and rescue Burnett (Owen Wilson) arrive in a Russian Mil-17 Hip transport, which looks cool, but it's something of a mystery as to why the French are using a Russian chopper. In the final rescue sequence, we see two escorting gunships (Bell UH-1Y Hueys) armed with rocket pods and mini-guns, and the Admiral's rescue chopper is a Hughes 214ST (based on UH-1 platform, ST = 'super transport')." -
"Leaving the aircaft carrier: Sikorsky SH-60F Oceanhawk (of US Navy) and Bell UH-1N Twin Huey (from US Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron)... Nathan Decker is wrong about the Admiral's 214ST, it was actually a Bell, or Agusta-Bell 412 (a four-blade Twin Huey in essence) and the support gunships were actually Bell 205s, or UH-1Hs as the US Army would call them." -
"We actually shot the aerial sequences (and the majority of the movie) in Slovakia. The reason the French Special Forces are flying in a Russian Mi-17 is because that's all I could get from the Slovak Air Force! I had originally wanted a Super Puma, but, them's the breaks!" -
JOHN MOORE (director,
Behind Enemy Lines
Big Ass Spider
(2013) - this monster movie features CG-visuals of the mega-sized arachnid in a King Kong style pose on an L.A. skyscraper, while Apache helicopters circle around it. When the spider lashes out, one of the choppers is hit and crashes into the side of the building. Another of the Apache squadron is knocked out of the sky by the spider's web-spray. Downtown scenes have a Eurocopter AS-350 police A-Star on patrol.
Big Man Japan
, 2007) - this satire on superhero movies features one brief helicopter appearance, with a Kawasaki (licence built Eurocopter) BK 117B-1, which hovers over the scene when special forces troops break into the hero's suburban home. (Unfortunately, the DVD box cover artwork shows a different machine, the Bell 212 Twin Huey, which does not appear in the film.)
The Big Mouth
- this crime comedy stars Jerry Lewis, and features a rare Brantly 305 (the four-seat version) wearing Pacific Southwest Airlines livery. The hero's girlfriend, a stewardess, obtains the helicopter to rescue him via hoist from some villains. -
Billion Dollar Brain
(1967) - based on a novel by Len Deighton, this British spy movie is the last of a franchised trilogy, starring Michael Caine as Harry Palmer. The helicopter featured as transport for the ice-bound scenes in Finland is a Bell 47-J Ranger with floats.
Bionic Showdown:
The Six Million Dollar Man
And The Bionic Woman
(1989) - this re-union TV movie starts with a JetRanger - which somehow turns into an A-Star, via bad continuity and editing - flying at night, while bringing armed raiders to shoot one of the heroes.
The Bionic Woman
(1976-8) - this TV spin-off adventure, based on sci-fi action show
The Six Million Dollar Man
, stars Lindsay Wagner as unlikely cyborg Jaime Sommers.
There are two cross-over stories in the second season:
The Return Of Bigfoot, part 2
has a Bell 206 used by Jaime to find aliens hiding in California (how hard can that be?). She jumps down to the ground from a helicopter that is hovering in treetops.
Kill Oscar, part 3
has a Hughes 269 that chases Jaime around on a tropical island. When Steve turns up, the little helicopter flies low and knocks him down. Then, as Steve and Jaime try to hi-jack the chopper, one of the enemy robots disables it.
In third season episode,
Fembots In Las Vegas
, the heroine (or her stunt double) has a bit of trouble with the featured helicopter, a Eurocopter (Sud Aviation) SA 341B Gazelle.
Bionic Woman
(2007) - a watchable TV action remake of the 1976-8 spin-off show, from that decade's
Six Million Dollar Man
series, this Canadian production stars British actress Michele Ryan as cyborg agent Jaime Sommers.
The pilot episode has a Sikorsky HH-60 Jayhawk as US Coast Guard medevac flight to a secret biotech labs. There's also a Sikorsky Black Hawk chasing the escaping heroine, and a Bell 206 JetRanger that interrupts the bionic women's roof-top fight scene.
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance)
(2014) - this Oscar winner is a decidedly arty superhero movie, starring Michael Keaton.
It features a fantastical battle sequence, with low-flying Black Hawk and Apache helicopters (all CGI work) fighting a gigantic monster just above the streets of New York.
One of the gunships is destroyed when it's struck by a projectile and explodes in mid-air.
Bird On A Wire
- in this movie, with Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn, there's a helicopter and crop-duster chase, where the helicopter does a loop-the-loop. -
The Black Hole
(2005) - not to be confused with Disney's 1979 space opera, this sci-fi disaster movie (from genre journeyman
Tibor Takacs
) features a Bell 206B JetRanger II used as transport for military and scientists around St Louis.
There's also a Sikorsky Black Hawk that hauls a modified container as 'trap' with Special Forces troops to capture the electrical entity.
Finally, there's stock footage of a US Army AH-64 Apache plus a Bell 206L-1 LongRanger II that searches the ruins of St Louis for the missing hero (Judd Nelson).
The Black Scorpion
(1957) - a military helicopter tackles the gigantic arachnid from a volcano in this b&w monster movie, with stop-motion animation (which includes model helicopters based on the Sikorsky H-19 design) created by Willis O'Brien.
Black Scorpion
(1999) - campy TV superhero adventure series from Roger Corman, this stars Michelle Lintel as Darcy Walker, a cop by day and masked crime fighter by night in Angel City, a parallel world version of Los Angeles. In the first episode,
Armed And Dangerous
, a former pilot (Martin Kove) has flashbacks to a helicopter dogfight with another Vietnam veteran. There's stock wartime footage of US Army Hueys, plus an aerial combat sequence, featuring two Hughes/ MD 500 series gunships, borrowing action from another Corman movie production,
Future Fear
Black Sunday
(1977) - inspired by the Munich massacre of hostage Olympic athletes, this drama of terrorism in America sees the Good Year blimp hi-jacked by villains plotting to attack crowds at the Super Bowl football stadium.
In the climactic sequence, a Bell 212 latches onto the blimp, enabling the daring hero to save the day.
Pre-production story-board artwork shows a very different helicopter, a Sikorsky Sky-Crane, was considered for the movie.
Blade II
(2002) - in this comicbook horror sequel, a couple of A-Star helicopters fly antihero Blade and his cohorts across Prague, at night, to a stronghold of the vampires. One Aerospatiale AS-355F-2 re-appears on its helipad in the finale but the villain fails to use it as his getaway vehicle, and it's gone by sunrise.
Blade Trinity
(2004) - in the opening scenes of this action-horror movie about vampire hunters, two helicopters (a Bell JetRanger and a Eurocopter AS 350) carry a team of bad guys into the Middle East desert, on a daylight mission to investigate a secret tomb.
Blind Horizon
(2003) - in this mystery thriller, a Huey flies by a burning tanker-lorry in the road accident scene.
(2015) - this TV show is a mystery drama about amnesiac 'Jane Doe' who is covered in tattoos as cryptic clues to a criminal conspiracy.
is just a disappointingly routine series that basically rips off
The Blacklist
format (and it even uses exactly the same helicopter).
Season one's first episode has an Aerospatiale AS-355F-1 Ecureuil 2 landing at a house in Kentucky, to pick-up an FBI agent for an urgent flight to New York.
Sent On Tour
features a TwinStar found hidden in a forest, and this helicopter is used by FBI agents as an escape vehicle, piloted by heroine Jane.
Authentic Flirt
concerns an undercover operation, during which the heroes are unexpectedly flown to meet the bad guy at his coastal estate. The featured helicopter is a TwinStar, again.
The FBI team also have an AS-355 to help search for their missing agents, and their helicopter arrives during a night-time shoot-out, just in time to save the heroes from henchmen.
Evil Handmade Instrument
includes a Cobra and a Huey, seen parked on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.
The Blob
(1988) -
"in this remake of the 1958 movie, US Army helicopters (Bell JetRangers) mounted with huge searchlights pursue the rebel hero through the forest after he learns of the military's dastardly plot to sacrifice the whole town in order to capture the film's titular space monster." -
Blonde And Blonder
(2007) - this spoof caper movie features an AS-350 B2 Ecureuil used by federal agents for Niagara resort scenes, which sees the helicopter following the villains during a speedboat chase.
Blood Diamond
(2006) - Edward Zwick's contribution to the mercenary and reporter cycle of third-world adventure movies uncovers diamond smuggling in Africa provides a showcase for Russian helicopters. There's a Mil Mi-8 Hip used by the heroes to reach a refugee camp, and a Mil Mi-24 Hind that spearheads a Sierra Leone army attack on the revolutionaries' jungle base.
Blood Glacier
The Station
, 2013) - in an early scene of this sci-fi horror, there is a Eurocopter AS-350 A-Star landing near the alpine camp, and it brings visitors to see the climate scientists studying a glacier. The helicopter returns at the end to pick-up survivors.
Blood: The Last Vampire
(2000) - this Japanese anime, set on a US airbase in 1966, mixes 2D characters with 3D backgrounds and features one brief appearance of a Kaman H-43 Huskie, with distinctive twin-meshing rotors, long exhaust, and tail boom fins.
The Blues Brothers
(1980) - after numerous car chases, our heroic musicians visit city hall to pay taxes, while cops and troops with tanks surround the building, and two choppers (a pair of Bell 206 JetRangers) buzz over the area to prevent any escape, and land in the Daley Plaza scene.
Behind the scenes, a Sikorsky S-58T (operated by Carson) played a role in the movie, dropping the Illinois Nazis' Ford Pinto car from a height of over 5,000 feet, for its plunge off the bridge. This helicopter appears on-screen during a 'making of' documentary featurette on the DVD release.
Blue Steel
(1989) -
at one point in this cop thriller starring Jamie Lee Curtis, she is taken on a romantic night-time helicopter flight in an Aerospatiale Twin Squirrel over New York City. It's only used in a brief sequence, but I've always remembered it due to the fact her date (Ron Silver) makes an interesting observation:
"You know, when you're way up here, looking down, the people... they're just little specks. Like they don't matter much. It's just the two of us. We're the only people in the world."
(Well, except for the pilot, he makes three!) -
Boa Vs. Python
(2004) - apart from the brief shot (possibly stock footage) of a National Guard convoy, with three Bell UH-1 Hueys providing air cover, this schlock monster movie has no other aerial sequences, and no helicopter action whatsoever. Both the poster and DVD box
are particularly misleading, as they feature Boeing AH-64 Apache gunships - which do not appear in the movie at all.
Along with
Reign Of Fire
, this film qualifies for the
Rotary Action
for blatantly misusing the technothriller appeal of military helicopters in its promotional artwork.
Body Of Proof
(2011-3) - this TV series is a crime drama about a medical examiner (portrayed by Dana Delany) in Philadelphia.
Second season episode
Sympathy For The Devil
features a Bell 206-L LongRanger (identified as a 'news chopper') in the sky over a crime scene. It looks like just a video library clip edited into new footage.
Body Snatchers
(1993) - Abel Ferrara's remake of this chilling alien invasion story is set on a military base, and climaxes with an escape attempt via helicopter (a UH-1B Huey gunship), and subsequent use of its airborne weaponry against a convoy of the pod people's army trucks.
The final sequence shows the heroes' chopper landing safely in Atlanta, where various military rotorcraft (including standard Hueys, three Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe sky-cranes, and a Hughes OH-6 Cayuse) are seen parked on concrete patches across the airfield.
The Body Stealers
(1969) - in this British sci-fi mystery, there is a Sud Aviation SE 3130 Alouette II that picks up the hero (Patrick Allen) from the middle of a field and flies him to a NATO base.
(2005-) - is a TV show about a forensic scientist and FBI agent solving homicide cases. In season four's episode
The Hero In The Hold
, the heroine flies in a Bell 212 to a ship and rescues her kidnapped partner just before the decommissioned vessel is blown up and sunk. In season six episode
The Doctor In The Photo
, a Eurocopter AS350-B2 appears in two scenes, parked at the medical rescue heliport.
Born Of War
(2014) - this tragic drama, sparked by a home invasion, features an MD-500D with enemy gunmen aboard, in the desert city sequences.
A bad guy on the helicopter fires a rocket into a residential building just before a terrorist's raid.
Later, there's a Huey seen landing in a night scene.
Bounty Killer
(2013) - this sci-fi action horror movie features a Bell 205 Huey that arrives during the final shootout. The helicopter is used by the corporate villains as their getaway vehicle.
Brave New World
(1998) - this TV adaptation of Aldous Huxley's SF satire features an off-screen helicopter crash (see
Rotary Action
cliché #1) that strands two researchers in territory of savages they were flying over. Later, in this drama's climactic scenes, three Robinson R44 Astro helicopters buzz the media-stalked protagonist as he stands atop a microwave communications tower.
(1975) - directed by Tom Gries, this movie stars Charles Bronson as a trainee pilot who helps his convict buddy (Robert Duvall) escape from a Mexican prison.
Bronson's stalwart hero learns to fly in a Bell 47G, before carrying out the actual rescue flight in an Aerospatiale Lama.
Brewster's Millions
(1985) -
Richard Prior uses three SA360 Dauphins to fly his baseball team the Hackensack Bulls to from New Jersey to Battery Park to practice for a game with the New York Yankees... on Long Island. -
The Bridges at Toko-Ri
(1954) - there's some early air-sea rescue footage with Sikorsky HO2S-1 (R5) helicopters in this Korean War drama about a lawyer (William Holden), who's recalled to active service as a US Navy jet pilot. The aerial action is exciting and the visual effects won an Oscar.
British Airshows 2003
- this compilation DVD has highlights from a series of special events celebrating the centenary of powered flight, with the main focus being on historic aircraft, warplanes and jets. There is brief footage of two Royal Navy Lynx helicopters (made by GKN Westland), plus some incredible dizzying aerobatics preformed with a little Schweizer 300. Unfortunately, the
Blue Eagles
' appearance at Blenheim Palace is not featured. The extras disc has footage of three Mil Mi-24 Hinds, plus two Boeing CH-47 Chinooks, which deploy troops on rapid-ropes. A Robinson R44 Astro is the camera-ship for aerial views of a 50-year-old Vulcan bomber's aborted takeoff run. There are also brief clips of a Eurocopter Tiger and NH-90 performing dazzling stunts like hovering flips and barrel rolls at the 2003 Paris Airshow.
The Bronx Executioner
(1988) - this Italian schlock sci-fi actioner, where scavenger humans battle decadent androids in an unrecognisable NYC of wasteland and castle estates, features the brief appearance of a Schweizer model 300 (a former Hughes light helicopter design from the 1960s) used to drop supplies to the beleaguered local law-enforcer.
(2009) - this US remake of a Danish drama features a mainly CGI helicopter sequence in Afghanistan, where a Black Hawk is shot down over enemy territory.
The Brothers Bloom
(2008) - this 'postmodern caper' movie features two (probably CGI) helicopters flying over Prague after a bomb explosion as diversion for a robbery in the city's castle.
Brute Force: Air Weapons - Helicopters
(1991) - this 48-minute documentary, directed by Robert Kirk, and narrated by Hollywood actor George C. Scott, is one episode of a three-part television series exploring the development of aerial weaponry in modern warfare.
Before launching into a brief history of the technology of vertical flight, this opens with promotional (and very fearsome looking) footage of Boeing AH-64 Apaches in action.
There are profiles of utility 'Huey' choppers in Vietnam, a look at the use of helicopters in the Korean War, and interview clips with experts - but the main part of this quite impressive show concerns various military helicopters in daring rescue missions.
Budgie The Little Helicopter
(1994-7) - this animated TV series was based on some children's books written by Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York (whose ex-husband, Prince Andrew, was a Royal Navy helicopter pilot in the Falklands conflict).
was a supposedly 'cute' cartoon for the under-fives, about the adventures of a plucky 'copter at an airport, and it ran for three seasons. Other characters on the show include an American helicopter named Chuck (based on the Boeing CH-47 Chinook transport), and senior flyer Lionel (inspired by the Westland Lynx).
Bullet In The Head
(1990) - John Woo's searing drama about three friends from Hong Kong in the Vietnam War has one set-piece airborne assault on an NVA camp, which uses US Army stock footage of Huey gunships, but also features some dramatic scenes of low-flying helicopters.
Bulletproof Monk
(2003) - this modern day martial arts fantasy adventure sees the hero (Chow Yun-fat) fighting armed bad guys on a helicopter gunship after the villains attack him on the roof of a disused warehouse. Digital effects are used for the chopper when it swoops just above the rooftop, to ensure safety of the actors.
Burn After Reading
(2008) - a farcical spy movie by the Coen brothers, in which a helicopter (probably an A-Star) hovers directly above the protagonist's stopped car, adding a persecution complex to his growing paranoia.
Burn Notice
(2007) - this is an American TV action series about an ex-spy turned urban vigilante. In the final episode of season two, after the big shootout at the marina, the 'management' exec of covert ops baddies flies aboard a Eurocopter EC-135 to Miami, for a secret agent 'recruitment' meeting with the hero (Jeffrey Donovan). Rejecting the proverbial offer he can't refuse, our disgruntled hero jumps out of the helicopter into the sea.
That footage is recycled for the recap intro of season three, and then the same helicopter reappears in the season's final episode but a modern EC-120 is only used for airborne shots; when the chopper lands, programme makers mistakenly use an Aerospatiale AS-355F1 TwinStar instead, in a notable continuity error.
Season five episode
Hard Out
has an A-Star chopper parked on the airfield where the undercover heroes meet CIA agents.
Season six episode
Under The Gun
features a Robinson R-44 Raven, operated by 'Swamp Hawks' helicopter tours, that is about to be hi-jacked until a shootout damages the chopper and prevents an escape flight. The season finale
Game Change
sees a US Coast Guard patrol boat accompanied by a Eurocopter HH-65C Dolphin used for off-shore interception of a drug cartel's motor yacht fleeing the scene of a gun-battle against the heroes.
In the final season's third episode,
Down Range
, a Huey is used as an escape vehicle for the spies while they are on a mission in the Dominican Republic. The pilot spots snipers on roof-tops and warns agents of danger.
Tipping Point
has a Huey used by CIA ops to follow bad guys in Veracruz, Mexico, until the helicopter is shot down and forced to make an emergency landing. A voice-over narration sketches out the strengths and the weaknesses of helicopters used in combat.
Sea Change
, the leader of the bad guys gets into a Eurocopter AS-355 Twin Star, but we don't see it take off.
The 111th and final episode,
, features bad guys in a Eurocopter AS-355, that approaches a rooftop but does not land after a shooting takes place there.
(1995) -
in this comedy adventure, Anthony Heald's villainous character makes his triumphant return to the story flying a Bell 206L LongRanger. It's also used afterward, in a brief sequence where he searches for the hero (played by Daniel Stern). -
By Dawn's Early Light
(1990) - during a limited nuclear strike by the Soviet Union, the American President's helicopter escape to the safety of a USAF airbase is affected by an EMP blast-wave, so his chopper crashes, leaving the chief executive blind in hospital without any control of the US military, and unable to prevent WW3...

text: Fitness guru Hannah Polites mum-shamed for EVERYTHING in new snap Baby news 0 Commenters said she looked too good post-baby AND she's holding the baby wrong... Instagram fitness guru Hannah Polites recently gave birth to her 1st child. And like many new mums, she's been quick to show off her bundle of joy on social media. All was going pretty well - and fans were loving the regular snapshots of her newborn daughter Evaliah Grace - until one snapshot sent commenters into a bit of a frenzy. Hannah received a ton of backlash over an image of her wearing a glamorous dress and looking incredible while holding her baby. So, what's wrong with it? Well, it was taken 2.5 weeks after she gave birth, and Hannah obviously hasn't been paying the baby any attention if she looks this good. Hmmmm.... "Being a mom with a newborn should be a special bonding time. Focus on your baby, get to know her. Instead you are more focused on showing yourself off. Stop being so vain and be a mother to her," someone wrote. Another added: "It looks like she prefers show her body and not the baby." And how will the baby cope with such a heartless mother who - gasp - takes selfies with her?? "The ultimate baby prop photo," one Instagram user wrote. Finally, droves of commenters came out in force to say that Hannah was holding her daughter wrong. One angry commenter said: "Looks like she's got more attention for her phone than supporting than little baby's neck#justsayin" "You look good but please don't hold that baby like that!" added another. Another fan chimed in: "It looks like you are going to drop bubs :(" And these are just a few examples of what people said. Hmmm… it seems poor Hannah can't do anything right when it comes to this pic. When we noticed different levels of backlash for all these different gripes, we did think: when will this mum-shaming and criticising end? But this new mum didn't take the negative comments lying down. Especially since she's actually a midwife, and as she pointed out in the edited caption: "Calm down people, I know how to hold my baby safely and have barely left her side for more than a couple of minutes since she was born. You can bond with your child without needing to lose your identity 😳💭" The Daily Mail Australia were also keen to dispel the rumours that the position of the baby was dangerous. They report that Dr Andrew Pesce, former Australia Medical Association president, said while the position didn't look 'the most comfortable', it also wasn't harming the baby. And as for the post-baby body backlash, here at MFM we've seen that some women just do pop back… it's luck of the draw, but being really into fitness before your pregnancy obviously puts you at an advantage. This isn't the first time Hannah's been on the receiving end of comments like these: she was also criticised during her pregnancy for having a small bump. Sigh. Here's hoping she's still enjoying the first few weeks of motherhood 👶 Images: Instagram/Hannah Polites Read more Can you ever win when it comes to the size of your bump?

She was born in 1932 in a village called Kazance tucked away in the mountains between Bosnia and Croatia, youngest of six, there were thirty years between her and her oldest sister. Grandma was fifty years old when she gave birth to my mother – she told her daughter that she never really wanted to have her at such an old age, but that she was the best of all her children.
My mother Milica (Melissa) didn't go to school, although she should have. The war was on and the neighbouring city, Banja Luka, was under siege by the Nazis throughout World War II. She would often recall living through those years as a child and the fear that ran through her. As an adult she still didn't like the sound of aeroplanes, was afraid of fire and had an ingrained hatred of fascism. One of her sisters taught her to read Cyrillic, but mostly she learned how to knit, weave, sew, make clothes and how to look after the farm animals.
Grandma, who was known for her love of fauna, would always chastise her daughter for not being kind enough to the farm animals. One summer's day she was asked to tend to the bees by her sister Jela. Milica didn't have the gift for handling them and soon they set upon her, entangled in her waist-long hair, nipping her scalp, neck and face. She survived of course, but never forgot. She never got on with snakes either and would run as fast as she could to escape angry jumping stripeys.
During the second world war, she survived typhoid when she was just nine – all her hair fell away during the fever – disease and chronic illnesses was spread by visiting armies engaged in guerrilla warfare in the forests and mountains. She was sent to hide high up in the hills many times along with all the other children when enemy soldiers passed through the village, crossing from Croatia to Bosnia and back. She would spend days tucked away in bothies dotted about the mountains, tending sheep and goats along with her friends. Mothers and the elders felt it was safer for their children and didn't want to risk them being taken away by the Germans and Croats.
Both her brothers were murdered in a Nazi camp in Yugoslavia. They fought against the Nazis as part of an anti-fascist resistance movement hoping to free Banja Luka from occupation. They were neither pro-loyalist or communist. The political history during that time was very complicated. When communism came after the war life altered for the peasants living in the hills and they lost ownership of their land. They were visited many times by Yugoslav militia to be asked to work voluntarily in the cities to rebuild a new country. My mother would return to the tops of the mountains to hide, along with her female companions, to avoid going. She felt it was more important to stay and look after her parents. However, things changed. She had to decide whether she was going to stay at home or leave for good.
She was the last at home to look after her parents and came to England in 1962 with just one piece of luggage, to marry my father and to work at Salt's Mill. She weighed seven stone when she arrived – farm work had taken its toll on her body – she was a tall woman. The other mill workers would try to fatten her up with fish and chip suppers from Saltaire chippy, but she stayed skinny for years.
My mother was a straight woman, with a dry laconic sense of humour. She didn't drink alcohol, smoke or eat sweet food like chocolate. Sometimes she was vilified for speaking her mind – she had no fear of shooting from the hip at any man or woman. She was assertive with strong opinions on politics and culture and would engage in man talk at the table – she had little time for fishwife tittle-tattle.
Despite being a war child and growing up in poverty, she still had much love in her heart and was wholly and deeply committed to us. She loved completely. She loved children and they knew they were always welcome at our house. When times were tough, she fed the entire street of kids who would turn up hungry at lunchtimes. She always found it in her heart to give. For this we loved her too. She made the house welcome to everyone who came by and the living room would be full of people chatting away, drinking Turkish coffee and tucking in to gibanica.
She battled with illness all her adult life and was eventually diagnosed with a terminal cancer which took her away from us after two years of struggle. She was stoic throughout, still loving completely. An unforgettable woman: mother, daughter, sister, wife and of course, baba.

text: Scientists at Technische Universität München in Garching and at Ludwig Maximilians Universität München in Munich, both in Germany, have presented an erbium-doped fiber laser system that offers 110 mW of linearly polarized output power in 65-fs pulses at a repetition rate of 67 MHz. They suggest that the system, which they reported in the March 24 issue of Optics Express, is suitable for the production of optical combs between 540 and 1900 nm for use in optical frequency metrology applications such as optical clocks.To date, researchers in this field largely have employed relatively expensive Ti:sapphire lasers. The new system comprises a diode-pumped Er:fiber oscillator, a fiber pulse stretcher and a 2-m Er:fiber amplifier, and a silicon prism assembly to recompress the emerging pulses. Injecting the pulses into a 7-cm length of polarization-maintaining highly nonlinear dispersion-shifted fiber yielded an octave-spanning supercontinuum that maintained the comb structure from the amplifier.

Some Apple customers were annoyed when the company changed the shape of the charging port for the iPhone 5. Now, another grievance can be attributed to Apple's charging port, but this time it's not just an inconvenience. It's a security flaw.
Apple says its forthcoming operating system will address the flaw, but the researcher who discovered it questions whether Apple's approach so far truly fixes the problem.
Billy Lau, a research scientist at Georgia Institute of Technology, gave apresentation at the Black Hat USA conference that demonstrated how to hack iPhones and iPads. He and two of his colleagues, Yeongjin Jang and Chengyu Song, hid a miniscule computer in a charger. The computer was able to get access into the devices and install its own apps.
Normally, Apple users peruse the App Store to pick and choose the apps that they want. However, there are very few safeguards set up to prevent a malicious app from being installed without the user's knowledge.
"There's another channel that's normally accessed by iOS developers in order to test their app before it hits the market," Lau told ABC News.
When developers connect a device to the computer to test their particular app, the computer reads the device's Unique Identifier, or UDID. After reading the UDID, the device will generate what's known as a provisional profile.
"Then, they can install any of their own custom-made apps," Lau said.
While the UDID isn't public information, it can be easily accessed once a device is plugged into a computer.
"The computer reads the UDID from the device instantaneously," said Lau.
A hacker with less-than-noble intentions can hide a computer in a charging device or a bigger object, like a music docking station. Once connected, it can generate its own provisional profile and gain access to both iPhones and iPads.
SIM Hack Can Expose Cell Phones to Crooks
A hacker also isn't limited to a single device.
"There are Apple lounges with USB charging stations," said Lau. "It's a prime target that the [hacker] can use to reach many devices quickly."
If a charging station has been tampered with, then the hacker can gain access to many phones very quickly.
Lau and his colleagues notified Apple about the security flaw shortly after their presentation was approved for Black Hat back in May. Apple invited them to test their hack on a beta version of iOS7, the newest version of the operating system that is yet to be released.
"The device will now ask if you want to trust the computer you plug it into," said Lau.
However, Lau added that users might not know that the computer or peripheral they plugged into is an untrustworthy computer and can still be vulnerable to the hack.
"Fixes for the charger pairing vulnerability have been addressed in the latest beta of iOS7," Tom Neumayer, a spokesman for Apple, told ABC News. "We would like to thank the researchers for their valuable input."
"Most of the time, Apple just seems to not respond or pretend that there is no problem," he said. "We demonstrated the weakness and it seems that, this time, they are really trying to do something."
The hack and Apple's response was first reported by Reuters.

Defined by the Line
Steve Bartlett
Climbing 2015
If you're a climber, chances are you've dreamt of climbing here or, better yet, you actually have. It's a region that includes some of the most perfect (and the most crumbly) climbing on earth: Cedar Mesa, Valley of the Gods, the Abajo Mountains and, dear to climbers, Indian Creek. As threats to these public lands in southeastern Utah accumulate, local people—climbers among them—are joining forces to protect the area that they call the Bears Ears region. But the fight isn't finished.
In 2012, Josh Ewing and his wife moved to Bluff, Utah, population 250. He was burned-out from his high-stress corporate job and sick of the long drive from Salt Lake City to the red-rock country where he loved to climb. Colleagues shook their heads as he walked away from a six-figure salary. His family thought he was crazy to move his city-girl wife to the middle of nowhere. Climbing friends laughed at him having to make a 2½-hour round-trip to Colorado just to get full-strength beer.
But for Ewing, it was time to draw a line in the sand.
He knew that the climbing areas in southeastern Utah that he loved most, like Texas Tower, Valley of the Gods and even Indian Creek, were under fire. Today, in 2015, the threats have only increased. Looting of archaeological sites (in many cases, grave robbing) and vandalism of sacred places continue on a regular basis. Irresponsible motorized and pedestrian travel destroys vistas and erodes sensitive habitat. And aggressive new oil and gas development threatens to industrialize an area renowned for its beauty, quiet and solitude.
The immeasurable landscape of the Bears Ears boasts an amazing amount of rock and many lifetimes' worth of routes still unclimbed, even though modern climbers have been exploring here for many years. In 1961, Layton Kor and Huntley Ingalls ascended Castleton Tower farther north near Moab and found to their surprise, a pleasant climb on excellent rock. But for two decades, few climbers understood what the pair had discovered.
During the late '80s, things changed. Climbers adopted camming devices that safely protected the desert's parallel-sided cracks; Eric Bjørnstad's climbing guidebook, Desert Rock, was published. The new and fairly accessible sport of mountain-biking was gaining popularity. And the Internet now provided detailed information about a region that previously had been obscure for many travelers. Ever since, increasing numbers of recreational visitors of all kinds have arrived in the Utah desert. First port of call is still Moab, a bustling city that's embraced a visitor- and service-based economy. Drive a short way south from Moab to San Juan County, though, and you'll find the towns of Monticello and Bluff—quiet, reserved and still dedicated to the cattle- and resource-based economy that has served them well for several generations.
As the Moab area has grown crowded, many people look to more isolated places, and the people of San Juan County have already seen changes brought by increased visitation and know that more change may be coming. To tackle the threats, San Juan County residents, with leadership from Native Americans and local conservationists, are developing a broader vision of the Bears Ears region and assuming an early, collaborative and proactive stance.
Not long after arriving in the Four Corners area, Ewing was drafted to be the executive director of a small nonprofit called Friends of Cedar Mesa (FoCM), which seeks to protect the wild lands of San Juan County. Although hesitant to jump into running a conservation group in a place with a reputation for being antienvironmentalist, he wouldn't stand on the sidelines. FoCM and another local conservation group called Utah Diné Bikéyah (UDB), are now collaborating with county leaders, government officials and other national conservation groups.
"Utah Diné Bikéyah is advancing protection for Bears Ears by helping other Americans understand the spiritual and cultural significance of this place to Native American tribes," says Willie Grayeyes, chairman of the UDB board, noting that the region has been used by Native people for millennia, and hundreds of Diné visit it seasonally for herb collection, pinyon pinenut gathering, ceremonies, hunting and firewood harvesting. Moreover, adds Grayeyes, the Bears Ears buttes are considered "a shrine that literally and symbolically protects Navajo people."
Locals working to protect the Bears Ears region know that a collaborative process offers the best chance for them to have a say in how federal lands in their county are managed. And most agree that the best shot at protection is designation by the federal government, perhaps as a national monument created by the president, or as a national conservation area created by Congress. Exactly how the land would be managed will be unclear until after a designation is made, but as Ewing warns, "The greatest risk for climbers is to do nothing and hope problems caused by increased visitation will just go away. If we engage early on and get involved in planning, we're much more likely to be satisfied with the outcome."
Ewing is a self-proclaimed desert rat and says the region's climbing has everything he could want. "I love the splitters at Indian Creek almost as much as I love the chance to scare myself putting up a new route on some remote, chossy tower. This is one of the wildest places in the world to climb and canyoneer." He recognizes not many venture past the Creek to climb the area's rowdy towers. "I wouldn't characterize all of the climbing here as enjoyable, but ... how do I say this ... the climbing in Bears Ears is the best. At least it is to me." Not to mention that this region, particularly Cedar Mesa, represents the most significant unprotected archaeological area in the United States. "I would hope all climbers can get behind protecting a place as unique as this."
Over the past three decades there've been many changes in the area. It'd be easy to say that every change—more people, more cars, more roads—is for the worse, but that's a cop-out. In 2015, we have what we have. Best to look around, plan ahead and be part of the future of these lands. For instance, think on this: The most productive single onshore oil well in the lower 48 in 2012 was not in Texas or Oklahoma, but in southeastern Utah. What if the next oil field turned out to be smack in the middle of Valley of the Gods?
Seldom-visited summits like the top of Texas Tower, 600 feet up in the air, are probably safe from exploitation and change. But the future of the surrounding landscape, for a hundred miles in every direction, is uncertain. Some climbers feel drawn by the flawless jamcracks of Indian Creek. Others, like Ewing, seek out the silent, disintegrating towers that wait in the remote labyrinth of canyon country. But all climbers are defined by the lines they love, and in turn by the regions that contain those lines. By refusing the destruction of the Bears Ears region, we can draw a line in the sand and become part of a continuum far more valuable than oil and shale profits, and more important than any send or summit.

Flaws in Conventional System - Representation
The measures like GDP and, NDP do not adequately represent the degradation of environment. Sometimes the expenditures incurred in restoring the environmental quality are accounted as increases in national income and product. For example, cleaning up of rivers, treating water for drinking, preventive expenditures to protect from ill effects of pollution all are shown as increases in GDP.
Thus, we see that the conventional/traditional system of national accounting implies that the environmental assets like air and water may be degraded due to economic activity, resulting in a reduction in social welfare. However the corresponding adjustment is not made in the accounts. This gives a false impression of increase in income while natural wealth is reducing. Further, ignoring the contribution of non-market value of environmental goods and natural resource depletion would result in misrepresenting the current well-being and would distort the economy's production and substitution possibilities. Thus the current measures of national income are inadequate as indicators of social welfare.
Moreover, these provide misleading information about whether an economy is using its resources in a sustainable manner. Thus the policy-makers are not rightly informed on the important link between economic growth and the environment. Hence environmental accounting can be useful in removing the current biases.

Russia's Nuclear Underwater Drone Is Real -- Could Set Off Tidal Waves to Wipe Out Coastal Cities
Jake Baker · December 31, 1969 · Featured, Eurasia, Tech
By: Jim Hoft
A draft of the Pentagon's Nuclear Posture Review confirms the existence of an underwater nuclear drone made and operated by Russia, a capability the U.S. Defense Department had not previously publicly acknowledged.
"In addition to modernizing 'legacy' Soviet nuclear systems, Russia is developing and deploying new nuclear warheads and launchers," stated an unclassified draft of the nuclear posture review first published by the Huffington Post.
"These efforts include multiple upgrades for every leg of the Russian nuclear triad of strategic bombers, sea-based missiles and land-based missiles. Russia is also developing at least two new intercontinental range systems, a hypersonic glide vehicle and a new intercontinental, nuclear-armed undersea autonomous torpedo."
A chart laying out Russian nuclear delivery vehicles developed over the past decade spells out the capability yet again, including a small illustration for an "AUV," or autonomous underwater vehicle, called Status-6.
The black and white graphic posted by the Huffington Post makes it difficult to see whether the capability has been deployed. However, the Russian undersea drone - which is nicknamed "Kanyon" by the Pentagon and goes by the full name Ocean Multipurpose System Status-6 - has been tested at least once.

Hurricanes: Are You Protected?
Hurricanes can wreak tremendous damage, devastation and death on a community. If a hurricane warning is issued, homeowners can board-up their houses and try to minimize the damage. But what if a storm damages their home regardless?
The most common homeowners policy - called a homeowners-3 policy or HO-3 - covers damage caused by a hurricane except for exclusions specifically outlined in the policy. For example, damage caused by hurricane flooding is usually not covered. Since policies vary, Insurance.com suggests homeowners review their policies before a storm hits to determine what would be covered.
For anyone whose home may be damaged by a hurricane, Insurance.com offers the following tips to help get back on their feet.
Secure the building with temporary repairs - Fix whatever is needed to make the home habitable and prevent further damage. Be careful not to invest in extensive repairs at this time, as an adjuster must appraise the damage first. Save any receipts so that your insurance company can reimburse you later.
Call your insurance agent to report the loss - Get any information you may need from your agent at this time. If the disaster is widespread, keep in mind that the agent may be very busy. Be patient.
Save receipts - If temporary living arrangements are needed, be sure to save receipts for living expenses, such as food, temporary housing costs, storage, and furniture rentals. Your insurance company should advance you the money for these costs.
Make a list of the damaged property - Try to include makes, models, and serial numbers. Take pictures of the damaged items, if possible. Organize old bills and receipts, if they are available, to establish value and age. Work from memory, if necessary. Don't throw anything away until the adjuster has a chance to inspect and appraise it.
Identify structural damage - Don't forget the garage, sheds, and pool. Look for cracks and missing shingles or roof tiles. You may want to hire a licensed engineer to identify damage you can't see. Have an electrician inspect the electrical system and a plumber review the plumbing system (most policies cover these inspections). Get bids for the repair work.
Have an adjuster appraise the damage - Your insurance agent should arrange this, and there should be no charge. Or, you can hire a public adjuster for a fee. When your adjuster comes, ask for a complete inspection and appraisal. If it can't be completed at one time, arrange for a second look. Be sure to identify all damaged areas.
Fill out the forms - Complete the "proof of loss" forms, which will be sent to you by your insurance company. Return them as soon as possible and keep copies of all forms you send back. Send copies of lists and other documents as needed to prove your losses, making sure to keep the originals.

Causes of onychorrhexis include aging and health conditions, such as bulimia, anorexia or cancer, or their treatments, according to Nails Magazine. Psoriasis, eczema and other skin conditions may also cause onychorrhexis.
Other health conditions or diseases that may cause onychorrhexis include hypothyroidism, Raynaud's phenomenon, malnutrition or Sjogren-Larsson syndrome and other endocrine disorders that cause dry skin, states Medicine Online. Onychorrhexis is often the result of dryness in the nail. Some individuals are genetically predisposed to having dry nails, and this may worsen as the individual ages. Dry air and long, hot baths or showers also cause dry nails and eventually onychorrhexis.
Certain environmental factors or work hazards may increase an individual's chances of developing onychorrhexis, as noted by Medicine Online. These factors include windburn, sunburn, washing the hands frequently, prolonged exposure to cold, dry weather and excessive exposure to harsh chemicals, such as repeated use of nail polish remover. Repeatedly injuring the tips of nails may also cause them to become brittle.
There is no treatment for onychorrhexis, but moisturizing with a cosmetic or therapeutic cream, wearing protective gloves, avoiding exposure to certain chemicals and avoiding prolonged exposure to water may help prevent nails from becoming brittle, according to Medicine Online.

I would like to see more of the ass & pussy love it
I would of gave her a much bigger load to sallow
I would love for her to suck my dick. love ya
I'd love to see more of that pussy! just a taste
No doubt about it that was a serious blowjob...until crunch time, when, unfortunately, it devolved into more of a handjob. Mouths produce blowjobs. Hands produce handjobs. And whatever is occurring as the man cums, where he cums and how, defines the sex act. Always. If she had jumped on his dick at the end and he finished inside her pussy, we wouldn't call that a blowjob, right? No, we would have properly defined it as a fuck.
with a girls like that , and a blowjob like that , how can´t these guy get his dick hard ?? and he even could´t cum !! men i think that these professional are far worse then much of us amateurs ..... case we do it for pleasure for cum .... these guys do it for money and to do that ?? man !! if it was me ?? lots of cum for her to suck on !! and i don´t have a problem to get it hard in front of people !! i just want to feel their love on my cock !! that´s me !!
lucky guy
Very very great. I love her.
She is great! I would live her to suck my cock! Pity there is no sound, pity this is an edited version.
What is so perfect about it? The majority of the time she is not doing any dick sucking. All the licking the balls, the sides and that shit is useless.
so great, more please, with sound!
she has a beautiful nose, I'd love to spread my knuckle children all over her face

Lessons in Theory of Change: Gender and Inclusion
Lessons learned from working with gender and social inclusion within the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS):
- elaborating a gender and social differentiation outcome story that we wanted to tell by 2016 generated greater ownership of the program by the research team, and eased partner engagement in the plan;
- Monitoring, Learning and Evaluation (ML&E) can be simplified by narrowing the number of indicators across projects, with often more than one project contributing to an indicator;
- outcome indicators are the most important, because they ensure appropriate progress over time while increasing real-time learning beyond the research process, particularly in how to target gender transformation as a goal;
- emphasis should be placed on involving the whole team in impact pathway development, including project partners;
- while the CCAFS quantitative gender survey has generated the most progress in terms of reducing the gender and climate change knowledge gap, the social learning process used to develop the participatory Gender and Inclusion Toolbox has been the most effective for generating partner and next-user capacity in gender awareness and transformative approaches.

Here's what's on my design floor today.
It's a quilt for my younger grandson. I've been working on this for a while now and I'm finally thinking the end is in sight. I loosely used this pattern.
From this book.
I say loosely because I've changed it quite a lot. I've made the blocks bigger and I'm making it square instead of rectangular. I've also modified the train and added cars, planes, and boats to the plain blocks. Now I just have to finish ironing on the rest of the borders and blocks and applique them. You might notice that there are many small circles involved, so that should be interesting! I'm really happy with how it's looking so far and can't wait to actually finish.

A year in review ...
a plan for next year' growth
s 2016 winds down to a close, we are left looking back at a year of change
unlike anything we've seen thus far this century. We enter 2017 with a new
administration in Washington, a recovering industry that is stronger than it has
been in a decade and a readership ready to grow in the year ahead. It is my
great pleasure to support you in the achievement of that goal with this
December issue.
First, for inspiration, we bring you our annual list of the 40 Most Influential Mortgage
Professionals Under 40 (see page 56). This peer-reviewed and approved list of leaders have
persevered in a time of regulatory uncertainty, and are ready to explode into 2017. We can all
learn a great deal from their examples.
We'll also shine a light on a company and an executive in this issue that all of our readers
can learn from and be inspired by. Our December Legends of Lending focus is on Quicken
Loans Mortgage Services (see page 38). If the digital mortgage is really imminent, as many
leading experts believe, then Quicken's Rocket Mortgage is worthy of study. As is month's
NMP Mortgage Professional of the Month, Ralph Rosynek, Senior Vice President of the U.S.
Division and Chief Information Officer for Moneyhouse Inc. (see page 52).
In addition to the regular columns you have come to expect in National Mortgage
Professional Magazine, we have some great content for you this month to close out 2016. Some of it looks back at the lessons we learned this
year, while other experts take a peek into the future to help us see what is coming up next.
Eric Weinstein talks about the need for a business plan or not (see page 86), while Shirleen Von Hoffmann talks about making builder business
part of your plan for the coming year (see page 94). Are you looking for a fail-proof business plan? Then don't miss the article by Bubba Mills on
page 87. Chad Gomoll of Inlanta Mortgage offers up four things you need to be focusing on in the New Year beginning on page 78.
Valentin Saportas of MortgageHippo offers some advice for crafting your digital strategy for next year (see page 90) and Timothy Moreland of
ATPR writes about staying flexible in the rollercoaster loan origination business on page 98. When it comes to the technology you use every day,
Carlos Sa, head of IT for Mortgage Network, has some recommendations around DIY technology beginning on page 80.
When it comes to looking into the future, we have some great articles in this issue. Steve DiMarco, president of Key Mortgage, talks about
three factors that will drive the mortgage industry next year on page 88, which John Pataky of EverBank asks whether history will repeat itself in
2017 (see page 84).
As to building your own future, Sanjeev Dahiwadkar, president and CEO of IndiSoft, talks about planning for change on page 89, as it's
certainly going to be a factor in the coming year. Jim Clapp, president and CEO of Starkey Mortgage, reminds us that "People, Process, Product
and Price Drive Growth in a Changing Market" in his article on page 96.
I certainly hope you had the opportunity to come out and spend some time with us at one of our Holiday Networking Parties. If you did, I'm
sure I must have mentioned to you that it has been a pleasure to serve you again this year. We wish you and your family the very best of the
holiday season and a happy, healthy, prosperous and safe New Year to you all.
We will be back here next month to begin coverage of what is likely to be a very interesting year, which under the new Trump Administration,
has the potential to be much better for our industry. Stay tuned.

Injectables and Lip Augmentation
Restylane Products used
Lip augmentation is a procedure to enhance the vermillion border of the lip, which is the natural outline, restore youthful fullness where it has been lost and even smooth out the tiny lines causing "lipstick bleeding." There are some new choices which give a beautiful and natural result. Many people have the impression that lip augmentation lends to an unnatural full shape that is popular with the Hollywood stars of today. At Aesthetic Therapies, we believe that a restoration of the natural fullness is the most desirable result.
Today's fillers are made of hyalauronic acid, a natural component of the skin. Injecting this formulation creates a soft, normal feel that is both long lasting and safe. The product chosen for use, Restylane-L® (manufactured by Medicis®). Restylane-L can be injected with a return to regular schedule immediately. However, there is the possibility of slight swelling, or bruising and a bit of soreness, usually lasting less than 24 hours.
Aftercare for this procedure is the application of a soothing ointment. Within a short time, lipstick, gloss, or lip protectant may be applied.
*Patients who have a history of cold sores may not be injected during an outbreak, and it may be advisable to consider an antiviral medication for prevention (we do provide Rx for antiviral prior to peels or help a patient get Rx from primary MD).
Let us help you choose the treatment most tailored to your lifestyle and specific needs, to attain the beautiful healthy (skin) result you desire.

In a stunning turn of political events, Republicans in the U.S. Senate have made Sen. Elizabeth Warren the face of the Democrat Party.
That is an accomplishment that almost equals the status of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, the "Lion of the Senate," whose seat Warren occupies.
Kennedy was a lot of things, including being a solid liberal. Unlike Warren, though, he was more than just talk. He got things done in the Senate and for his state. But he never stirred the passions of the true believers of the lunatic left the way Warren has.
The Warren development came about when the Republican-controlled Senate, at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's behest, brought up a little-used rule to silence Warren from further attacking fellow Sen. Jeff Sessions and his nomination for attorney general.
McConnell did what nobody else has been able to do. He stopped her from talking -- at least on the Senate floor.
The Senate confirmed the nomination, as expected, anyway. But this did not take place until after Warren was ruled in violation of Senate rules impugning the motives of a fellow senator. Warren read a 30-year-old letter by Kennedy, who called Sessions a "disgrace" when Sessions was turned down for a federal judgeship in 1986.
Ordinarily, Warren's vitriolic speech would have gone unnoticed. She is an attack politician, and insults readily fall from her lips, and they are usually ignored, except of course by her admirers on the hard left.
Right off the bat there was talk of Warren, who is up for re-election in 2018, now being the leading Democrat candidate for president in 2020.
And why not? The only question is whether McConnell targeted Warren out of pique, or whether the old fox planned to thrust Warren to the forefront, boost her presidential possibilities, and stir up trouble for the Democrats. Surely the Republicans would love to run against Warren for president in 2020.
Democrat Party politics are changing and going hard left. The party is becoming a cult. Not only have the Democrats in Washington become the party of obstruction; they have become the party of the Occupy Movement, using the same disruptive tactics. Occupy Wall Street has become Occupy Washington.
And one of the founders of the Occupy Movement is none other than Elizabeth Warren.
"I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do," she said of Occupy Wall Street in 2011. "I support what they do."
And what they do is disrupt things, the way anarchists do.
Only unlike the unkempt and hungry demonstrators of Occupy Wall Street, who commandeered public space for their antics, the members of Occupy Washington, all Democrats, are well dressed, well paid and well fed. And they already work in the public space they occupy, the chambers of the U.S. House and Senate.
All you have to do is witness the tactics of the Democrats in the House. Rather than play by the rules, the Democrats, like the protesters of Occupy Wall Street, or Occupy Boston, staged a sit-in, occupying the floor of the U.S. House in June to protest delays in debating gun legislation.
Along the same lines, some 70 Democrat members of the House, or one third of all Democrat members, insulted President Trump when they boycotted his inaugural on the grounds that Trump was not a "legitimate" president.
The Democrats in the Senate, meanwhile, opposed and obstructed all of Trump's Cabinet nominations. They boycotted confirmation hearings. They forced all-night Senate sessions. And they did not have the votes to veto any of them.
This is not the work of a loyal opposition but the work of obstructionists determined to damage Trump's ability to govern, no matter the damage to the country.
If nothing else, the Democrat Party, acting as Occupy Washington, has also given the green light to small and large anti-Trump demonstrations that tend to attract anarchists, now dressed in black, bent on tearing the system down.
"We tried to warn you," David Graeber, an American anthropologist who is credited with organizing Occupy Wall Street, told The New York Times.
Graeber said the movement's in-your-face tactics, which Warren uses, was successful in elevating income inequality to the top of the Democrat political agenda.
And income inequality is one of Warren's main issues.
In your face? Beware.
Donald Trump invented it.

SailingJoy.comthe one stop resource directory for all your boating needs.
Basic Principles
There are two main categories of sailing boats:
- Keel boats, where stability on the water is obtained by means of a weighted keel placed under a buoyant hull. Seagoing yachts are mostly keel boats.
- Dinghies, the balance of which is regulated by weight of the crew. These rather small boats are ideal for lake sailing.
We shall limit ourselves here to the study of the second category. However, most of
the theoretical aspects and the principles of manoeuvring which are discussed are also
applicable to larger boats.
