A ever before-recreation, watershed protection, wildlife, timber, "'--;':r: .";'C: wilderness. Foresters are often able to enhance production of these bene- fits. This book features forestry techniques that are helping to achieve .,;~~.~...t& the American dream for the forest. , ~- ,.- The story is for landolVners, which means it is for everyone. Millions . .~: of Americans own individual tracts of woodland, many have shares in companies that manage forests, and all OWII the public lands managed by government agencies. The forestry profession exists to help all these landowners obtain the benefits they want from forests; but forests have limits. Like all living things, trees are restricted in what they can do and where they can exist. A tree that needs well-drained soil cannot thrive in a marsh. If seeds re- quire bare soil for germination, no amount of urging will get a seedling established on a pile of leaves. The fOllOwing pages describe th.: ways in which stands of trees can be grown under commonly Occllrring forest conditions ill the United States. Originating, growing, and tending stands of trees is called silvicllllllr~ \ I, 'R"7'" -, l'l;l.f\ .. (silva is the Latin word for forest).

  • How to Use an Orienteering Thumb Compass Introduction
    http://lggagnon.wordpress.com/2012/07/20/how-to-use-an-orienteering-thumb-compass/ How to Use an Orienteering Thumb Compass Introduction The “thumb compass” was a slow revolution in the sport of orienteering when it was first designed by Suunto in 1983. Its use amongst orienteers is still not ubiquitous – but should be. Some orienteers still use the older technology small rectangular “base plate” O compasses. Typical thumb compass Typical baseplate compass The advantages of the thumb compass over the baseplate compass are significant and it is my suggestion that all orienteering coaches and O clubs should be teaching beginners the proper use of a thumb compass and should not even be selling base plate compasses. As far as I am concerned, base plate compasses confuse the orienteer by adding the unnecessary skill of rotating the compass bezel to take a compass bearing. Bearings are not really required in orienteering and the setting of such bearings will add minutes to your overall race time. All that is required is that the orienteer knows his/her position and that the north needle on the compass is aligned with the north lines on the map. Compass bearings give the orienteer a false sense of reliance on the compass rather than the map. Base plate compasses also make it more difficult to keep track of your position on the map. They also cover up more features on the map making it more difficult to navigate in open terrain. Lastly, they are more difficult to keep overlain on the map without using more finger and hand pressure and this can get uncomfortable over a longer O event.

We applied this integrated approach to two active sections of the Mt Vettore active fault segment which, in the Castelluccio di Norcia plain (central Italy), were affected by surface faulting after the most energetic events of the sequence: the 24 August, Mw 6.0, Amatrice and 30 October, Mw 6.5, Norcia earthquakes. The main aim is to establish the range in which the results obtained measuring the same structures using different tools vary. An operating procedure, which can be helpful to map extensive sets of coseismic ground ruptures especially where the latter affects wide, poorly accessible, or dangerous areas, is also proposed. We compared datasets collected through different technologies, including faults attitude, dip-angles, coseismic displacements, and slip vectors. After assessing the accuracy of the results, even at centimetric resolutions, we conclude that the structural dataset obtained through remote sensing techniques shows a high degree of reliability.
