How to Take a Bearing on a Map
From IFMGA Guide Margaret Wheeler, this video take you through one of the foundation skills for navigating with a map and compass. In simplest terms, it links the information provided by a map to the terrain around you. You can use this skill to locate peaks or terrain features, to confirm your own location as part of resection, or to navigate in whiteout conditions. For more about navigating with a map and compass, check out the book Backcountry Skiing: Skills for Ski Touring and Ski Mountaineering.
Video Transcription:
Greetings from Chamonix, France! I'd like to take you through the steps to take a bearing from a map and to put it out into the field.
When you're doing this it's going be really helpful if you do it indoors first, in a comfortable place with all the necessary things. Now, your tools are going to be your compass, and your pencil and your map. But you might also want to have, for instance, a hot drink, handy. Make sure your hot drink is in good condition. Make sure your pencil is sharp and then,
also, you should check the declination of your compass to make sure it's accurate.
We're going use our starting place as the house in Le Mousseux, right here and we're going to take a bearing to a known point the first time we do this. So we're going take a bearing to the mid-station of the Aiguille du Midi across the valley. So we're going to put the backend of the compass, that's this one, at the starting point where we are; and the front end of the compass pointing to the thing we're taking the bearing from, that is, the mid-station. Line it up so that the compass is going from one to the other, and then you want to spin the dial of the compass so that the North of the compass faces North on the map.
It's a good idea to write the line and the bearing on your map so when you're out on the field you have that. So we have a hundred and thirty-six degrees. That's the bearing from the house here in Mousseux up to the middle of the Aiguille du
Now we're ready to go and take our bearing into the field. So we've got a hundred and thirty-six degrees on our compass. Let's take it outside and see where it points us.
So out here you can see there's a lot of mountains to choose from. I'm going to line my compass up so I can figure out which one is the mid-station of the Aiguille du Midi. What I want to do is hold the compass at arm's length and adjust the mirror so that I can see the face of the compass even when I'm holding it out in front of me. And then I'm going to move the compass until it lines up with the bearing that I've set. Make sure the compass is flat in a horizontal plane. You don't want it tipped to one side or the other.
Holding the compass out, using the mirror to look at the bearing, I can see when I point at a hundred and thirty-six degrees it points toward the mid-station of the Aiguille du Midi.
So that's a good way to test it. You know where you are, you what you're taking the bearing to, and so you can check and make sure your bearing will take you to the right place.

Helicopter Instructor - Teaching Slope Landings
My name is Ian and this is part of a series documenting when I was in helicopter instructor training in the Robinson R-22. It's been a while since the last training flight, and this video is pretty old at this point, but I wanted to continue a bit more with this series for anyone who is looking to become a flight instructor. On this multi-part series, I'm sitting in the left seat and learning how to teach a student to fly. On this flight we primarily worked on landing on sloped terrain.

Geneva
Geneva (/dʒɨˈniːvə/; French: Genève, IPA: [ʒə.nɛv]; Arpitan: Genèva, IPA: [dzəˈnɛva] and German: Genf; IPA: [ɡɛnf]) is the second most populous city in Switzerland (after Zürich) and is the most populous city of Romandy, the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Situated where the Rhône exits Lake Geneva, it is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva.
The municipality (ville de Genève) has a population (as of August 2013) of 194,458, and the canton (which is essentially the city and its inner-ring suburbs) has 474,169 residents. In 2011, the compact agglomération franco-valdo-genevoise (Greater Geneva or Grand Genève) had 915,000 inhabitants in both -- Switzerland and France (less than 30mins distance). Within Swiss territory, the commuter area named Métropole lémanique contains a population of 1.25 million. This area is essentially spread east from Geneva towards the Riviera area (Vevey, Montreux) and north-east towards Yverdon-les-Bains, in the neighbouring canton of Vaud (less than 60mins distance).

SUMMARY
=======
France (French: [fʁɑ̃s]), officially the French Republic (French: République française; French pronunciation: [ʁepyblik fʁɑ̃sɛz]), is a country whose territory consists of metropolitan France in Western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. The metropolitan area of France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. It is bordered by Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany to the northeast, Switzerland and Italy to the east, and Andorra and Spain to the south. The overseas territories include French Guiana in South America and several islands in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. The country's 18 integral regions (five of which are situated overseas) span a combined area of 643,801 square kilometres (248,573 sq mi) and a total population of 67.3 million (as of October 2018). France, a sovereign state, is a unitary semi-presidential republic with its capital in Paris, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. Other major urban areas include Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Lille and Nice.
During the Iron Age, what is now metropolitan France was inhabited by the Gauls, a Celtic people. Rome annexed the area in 51 BC, holding it until the arrival of Germanic Franks in 476, who formed the Kingdom of France. France emerged as a major European power in the Late Middle Ages following its victory in the Hundred Years' War (1337 to 1453). During the Renaissance, French culture flourished and a global colonial empire was established, which by the 20th century would become the second largest in the world. The 16th century was dominated by religious civil wars between Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots). France became Europe's dominant cultural, political, and military power in the 17th century under Louis XIV. In the late 18th century, the French Revolution overthrew the absolute monarchy, established one of modern history's earliest republics, and saw the drafting of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which expresses the nation's ideals to this day.
In the 19th century, Napoleon took power and established the First French Empire. His subsequent Napoleonic Wars shaped the course of continental Europe. Following the collapse of the Empire, France endured a tumultuous succession of governments culminating with the establishment of the French Third Republic in 1870. France was a major participant in World War I, from which it emerged victorious, and was one of the Allies in World War II, but came under occupation by the Axis powers in 1940. Following liberation in 1944, a Fourth Republic was established and later dissolved in the course of the Algerian War. The Fifth Republic, led by Charles de Gaulle, was formed in 1958 and remains today. Algeria and nearly all the other colonies became independent in the 1960s and typically retained close economic and military connections with France.
France has long been a global centre of art, science, and philosophy. It hosts the world's fourth-largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is the leading tourist destination, receiving around 83 million foreign visitors annually. France is a developed country with the world's seventh-largest economy by nominal GDP, and tenth-largest by purchasing power parity. In terms of aggregate household wealth, it ranks fourth in the world. France performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy, and human development. France is considered a great power in global affairs, being one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council with the power to veto and an official nuclear-weapon state. It is a leading member state of the European Union and the Eurozone, and a member of the Group of 7, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and La Francophonie.
Eurocopter EC145
The Eurocopter EC145, now known as the Airbus Helicopters H145, is a twin-engine light utility helicopter developed and manufactured by Eurocopter, which was rebranded as Airbus Helicopters in 2014. Originally referred to as the BK 117 C2, the EC145 is based upon the MBB/Kawasaki BK 117 C1, which became a part of the combined Eurocopter line-up in 1992 with the merger of Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm's helicopter division of Daimler-Benz and the helicopter division of Aérospatiale-Matra to form Eurocopter.
The EC145 is a twin-engine aircraft and can carry up to nine passengers along with two crew, depending on customer configuration. The helicopter is marketed for passenger transport, corporate transport, emergency medical services, search and rescue, parapublic and utility roles. In 2014, the EC145 was rebranded as the H145 by Airbus Helicopters. Military variants of the helicopter have also been produced under various designations, such as H145M or UH-72, and have been used for training, logistics, medical evacuation, reconnaissance, light attack, and troop-transport operations.

Distillation
Distillation is a process of separating the component substances from a liquid mixtures by selective vaporization and condensation. Distillation may result in essentially complete separation (nearly pure components), or it may be a partial separation that increases the concentration of selected components of the mixture. In either case the process exploits differences in the volatility of mixture's components. In industrial chemistry, distillation is a unit operation of practically universal importance, but it is a physical separation process and not a chemical reaction.
