    Standards for Locations in the MPD May 31, 2012 Page 18 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Appendix A How to find locations in Eastern Europe I, Frank Stewner, would like to demonstrate with a few examples how I would find today locations of my family. In the 18th century, many members of the Stefner/Stewner family were living in the Salzburg area, Austria and migrated several times during the next 250 years: Salzburg -> East-Prussia –> Poland –> Volhynia –> Russia –> Volhynia –> Poland –> Germany. Many moved from Volhynia to Canada.

St. Johann-Huttegg in the Archdiocese of Salzburg, Austrian Empire I discovered that 8 Stefner/Steffner-families were forced to migrate from the Salzburg area to East- Prussia. This occurred during 1731-32 and was imposed by the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg Leopold Anton E. Freiherr von Firmian. He ordered the expulsion of those Lutherans who did not convert to Catholicism.

To compensate for this apparent injustice, Kommersant Vlast analytical weekly has compiled The Entire Russian Fleet directory. It is especially topical since even Russia’s Commander-in-Chief compared himself to a slave on the galleys a week ago. The directory lists all 238 battle ships and submarines of Russia’s Naval Fleet, with their board numbers, year of entering service, name and rank of their commanders. It also contains the data telling to which unit a ship or a submarine belongs. For first-class ships, there are schemes and tactic-technical characteristics. So detailed data on all Russian Navy vessels, from missile cruisers to base type trawlers, is for the first time compiled in one directory, making it unique in the range and amount of information it covers. The Entire Russian Fleet carries on the series of publications devoted to Russia’s armed forces. Vlast has already published similar directories about the Russian Army (#17-18 in 2002, #18 in 2003, and #7 in 2005) and Russia’s military bases (#19 in 2007).

  • Impact of the Artificial Strait in the Vistula Spit on the Hydrodynamics
    water Article Impact of the Artificial Strait in the Vistula Spit on the Hydrodynamics of the Vistula Lagoon (Baltic Sea) Michał Szydłowski * , Tomasz Kolerski and Piotr Zima Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Gda´nskUniversity of Technology, Narutowicza 11/12, 80-233 Gda´nsk,Poland; [email protected] (T.K.); [email protected] (P.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-58-347-1809 Received: 25 March 2019; Accepted: 8 May 2019; Published: 10 May 2019 Abstract: In the Vistula Lagoon, storm surges are induced by variable sea levels in the Gulf of Gda´nsk and wind action. The rising of the water level in the southern part of the basin, exceeding 1.0 m above mean sea level, can be dangerous for the lowland area of Zuławy˙ Elbl ˛askie,causing the inundation of the polders adjacent to the lagoon. One of the potential possibilities to limit the flood risk is to decrease the water level in the lagoon during strong storm surges by opening an artificial canal to join the lagoon with the Gulf of Gda´nsk.The decision to build a new strait in the Vistula Spit was made in 2017. In order to analyze the impact of the artificial connection between the sea and the lagoon during periods of high water stages in the southern part the lagoon, mathematical modelling of the hydrodynamics of the Vistula Lagoon is required. This paper presents the shallow water equations (SWEs) model adapted to simulate storm surges driven by the wind and sea tides, and the numerical results obtained for the present (without the new strait) and future (with the new strait) configuration of the Vistula Lagoon.

    Argus Nefte Transport Oil transportation logistics in the former Soviet Union Volume XVI, 5, May 2017 Primorsk loads first 100,000t diesel cargo Russia’s main outlet for 10ppm diesel exports, the Baltic port of Primorsk, shipped a 100,000t cargo for the first time this month. The diesel was loaded on 4 May on the 113,300t Dong-A Thetis, owned by the South Korean shipping company Dong-A Tanker. The 100,000t cargo of Rosneft product was sold to trading company Vitol for delivery to the Amsterdam-Rotter- dam-Antwerp region, a market participant says. The Dong-A Thetis was loaded at Russian pipeline crude exports berth 3 or 4 — which can handle crude and diesel following a recent upgrade, and mn b/d can accommodate 90,000-150,000t vessels with 15.5m draught. 6.0 Transit crude Russian crude It remains unclear whether larger loadings at Primorsk will become a regular 5.0 occurrence. “Smaller 50,000-60,000t cargoes are more popular and the terminal 4.0 does not always have the opportunity to stockpile larger quantities of diesel for 3.0 export,” a source familiar with operations at the outlet says. But the loading is significant considering the planned 10mn t/yr capacity 2.0 addition to the 15mn t/yr Sever diesel pipeline by 2018.

  • Economic Geography
    S. Kuznetsov, S. Lachininsky ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY This article presents a modern inter- MODERN pretation of the concept of ‘geoeconomic UNDERSTANDING position’ as applied to one of the most im- OF ‘GEOECONOMIC portant centres of the Baltic region — the St. Petersburg agglomeration. The coastal POSITION’ location of the agglomeration and close AND THE SAINT connections with the Leningrad region make it possible to consider the Saint Pe- PETERSBURG tersburg coastal region (Baltic Area) as a 1 AGGLOMERATION whole. The article sets out not only to ver- ify, confirm, and explain the features of the geoeconomic position of the coastal region, but also to describe the contiguous geoeco- * S. Kuznetsov nomic space. The position of the St. Pe- ** tersburg coastal region is of crucial im- S.Lachininskii portance for ensuring a steady growth of regional economy, the propagation of in- dustrialization impulses, and moderniza- tion in the heart of Russian North-western macroregion. At the same time, the specific features of the region’s geoeconomic posi- tion magnify the ‘inherited’ ad acquired ef- fects of focal industrialization and space polarization, which creates additional pre- requisites for the inversion of the Russian economic space — ‘Russia of the physical space’ and ‘the economic space of Russia’. The study uses traditional methodology of economic geography (the territorial, clus- ter, and spatial approaches) and the geoe- conomic approach developed by the au- thors. The article also addresses recent findings in regional economy and spatial studies.
