    FINLAND and the ÅLAND ISLANDS Monday

    FINLAND AND THE ÅLAND ISLANDS Monday 21 July Today we crossed from Tallinn, Estonia to Helsinki, Finland by ferry. The first thing to do was a major and quite expensive stock-up shop at the supermarket over the road, in anticipation of more expensive times to come in Scandinavia. Then along to check in early with the Finnish Eckero Line, and after a wait of an hour or so we were among the last to be loaded, along with many other motorhomes and heavy trucks. Big ship, with many similarities to those used for Channel crossings. The only problem was to get away from the live music in the public areas, much enjoyed by most passengers. Also popular was lying out in the sun on and around the small covered pool in what was a beautiful blue day – windy, though. We finally found a relatively quiet spot to read and use the internet before going on deck again to watch the ship’s spectacular entry to and through the Helsinki archipelago. You can never watch the final docking because of the need to get down to the cars and vans, so the first we saw of Finland was through the open rear of the vessel. We had the Tomtom all set to guide us to the camp site, but even so it is a stressful business being dumped in a busy part of a busy city like Helsinki without much idea of where you are or how you get to where you want to go. The camp site, in the suburb of Rastila, is about 10 km north-east of the city.

    Why conserve the Cutty Sark? Transcript Date: Monday, 17 October 2011 - 1:00PM Location: Museum of London 17 October 2011 Why Conserve the Cutty Sark? Richard Doughty Good afternoon. My name is Richard Doughty, and I am the Chief Executive of The Cutty Sark Trust. Gresham College have invited me here today to address the question: Why Conserve the Cutty Sark? One of the main advantages of talking about Cutty Sark is being able to say, without sparing anybody’s blushes, this is a ship which needs no introduction. Captain Moodie, her first captain, claimed she would ‘last forever’. So far he seems to have been proved right. Although she was built to have a working life of just thirty years, she is still with us 143 years on – nearly fivefold her original life expectancy. Famously Cutty Sark survived the fire in May 2007 which stretched from stem to stern, and reached temperatures in excess of 1000oc. If there was anything positive that came out that day, it was that this was not just a local story, not even a national story, but an international story.The four corners of the earth were shocked at what they saw and heard on worldwide broadcasts. I have always maintained Cutty Sark – the greyhound of the sea – is the best known historical vessel and for me that day proved it beyond the shadow of a doubt. In the week of the fire Cutty Sark received no less than six solid hours of mainstream television and radio coverage in the UK alone.But before I go any further I thought I should pause briefly and qualify my claim that Cutty Sark is the most famous ship in the world.

    Überreicht vom Verfasser. Ostasiatische Decapoden. V. Die Oxyrhynehen und Schlussteil. (Geographische Übersicht der Decapoden Japans.) Von Heinrich Balss, München. (Mit 1 Tafel und 2 Textfiguren.) Abdruck aus dem Archiv für Naturgeschichte44. Herausgegeben von Embrik Strand ord. Professor der Zoologie und Direktor des Systematisch-Zoologischen Instituts der Universität Riga «0. Jahrgang 1924 Abteilung A 5. Heft Ausgegeben im September 1924. NICOLAI SC HE VERLAGS -BUCHHANDLUNG R. STRICKER Berlin. Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Lokomotion der Arachniden. 19 Nachtrag während der Korrektur. Durch die Liebenswürdigkeit des Herrn Dr. Penther erhielt ich zwei Exemplare von Eurypelma rubropilosa Auss. aus der Sammlung des naturhistorischen Museums zu Wien. Herr Dr. E. Hesse (Berlin), überließ mir gütigst ein Exemplar von Pterinochilus murinus Pocock. So konnte ich feststellen, daß die Gelenke tetrapneumoner Spinnen in allen wesentlichen Teilen mit denen der Dipneumones übereinstimmen. Die Coxen bilden mit dem Rumpfe ein unechtes Gelenk. Sie inserieren mit einer schmalen, ringförmigen Gelenkhaut, die nirgends durch einen Kondylus unterbrochen ist. Die Rumpfgelenke der Agaleniden Tegenaria und Coelotes sind ganz ähnlich gebaut. Die Coxa hat zwar eine pfannenartige Bildung, aber das Sternum trägt keinen Vorsprung, der den Gelenkkopf dazu bilden könnte. Bei Trochosa terricola Thor., Pirata piscatorius (Clerck) und Lycosa tarsalis Thor, fand ich ähnliche Verhältnisse, nur war die Pfanlie viel schärfer ausgeprägt. Im Gegen- satz dazu besitzen Clubiona pallidula Clerck und Cl. caerulescens L. Koch am Sternum spitze Vorsprünge, die in die Pfanne der Coxa eingreifen. Dasselbe ist bei den Dysderiden Harpactes lepidus C. L. Koch und Segestria senoculata Lin. der Fall. Am stärksten fand ich dies Gelenk bei Dysdera ausgeprägt. Ich werde dies alles in einem besonderen Aufsatze mit Abbildungen klarlegen.
