A Hydrographic Approach to the Alps
• • 330 A HYDROGRAPHIC APPROACH TO THE ALPS A HYDROGRAPHIC APPROACH TO THE ALPS • • • PART III BY E. CODDINGTON SUB-SYSTEMS OF (ADRIATIC .W. NORTH SEA] BASIC SYSTEM ' • HIS is the only Basic System whose watershed does not penetrate beyond the Alps, so it is immaterial whether it be traced·from W. to E. as [Adriatic .w. North Sea], or from E. toW. as [North Sea . w. Adriatic]. The Basic Watershed, which also answers to the title [Po ~ w. Rhine], is short arid for purposes of practical convenience scarcely requires subdivision, but the distinction between the Aar basin (actually Reuss, and Limmat) and that of the Rhine itself, is of too great significance to be overlooked, to say nothing of the magnitude and importance of the Major Branch System involved. This gives two Basic Sections of very unequal dimensions, but the ., Alps being of natural origin cannot be expected to fall into more or less equal com partments. Two rather less unbalanced sections could be obtained by differentiating Ticino.- and Adda-drainage on the Po-side, but this would exhibit both hydrographic and Alpine inferiority.

Kozjak and the Pohorje mountains. Three communities of the order Androsacetalia vandellii (Asplenietea trichomanis) were recognized: Campanulo cochleariifoliae-Primuletum villosae ass. nova (Androsacion vandellii ), Woodsio ilvensis-Asplenietum septentrionalis (Asplenion septentrionalis) and Hypno-Polypodietum (Hypno-Polypodion vulgaris). The communities are distinguished by altitude, light intensity, temperature and the number of endemic species, south-European orophytes or cosmopolite species. Altitude is a signifi cant factor aff ecting the fl oristic composition of the studied vegetation. Keywords: chasmophytic -

WHAT IMAGES of OXEN CAN TELL US Metaphorical Meanings and Everyday Working Practices
WHAT IMAGES OF OXEN CAN TELL US Metaphorical meanings and everyday working practices Inja Smerdel Introduction Although it seems that researchers from the humanities interested in working animals pay far more attention to the horse than the ox,1 there are individuals who have made some important observations about the significance of oxen in human history. For example, in her recent contribution on harnessing oxen using two basic forms of yoke,2 Cozette Griffin-Kremer (2007: 66) describes these draught animals which, from the time when they were first domesticated and worked until they disappeared from farms as a result of mechanisation, have used their harnessed energy and strength to pull tree trunks and rocks, as well as powering various tools, equipment and transport devices – from ards, ploughs, carts and sledges to threshing machines and mills – as "a wonderful machine that transformed the surface of the earth". In his book Horses, Oxen and Technological Innovation John Langdon (1986: 8) writes that, apart from mules and donkeys, "oxen carried all the burden for ploughing and hauling in ancient times". Rolf Minhorst (1990: 37), the author of a detailed historical study of draught animals in Germany,3 observes that "the draught ox had revolutionised the agriculture of the Neolithic period" and that "cattle husbandry in Europe has determined our cultural development from the very beginning". Quite a number of fundamental cultural values have also been identified in relation to attitudes to domesticated animals on other continents. Relevant anthropological studies have identified syntagms such as the African "cattle complex" (Campbell 2005: 97; cf. -

The area boasts dramatic valleys headed by scores of peaks and trekkers are well supported by some of the best huts in the Alps. The Park is centred on the Gross Glockner, at 3798m Austria-s highest mountain. Trekking in Austria's Hohe Tauern concentrates on three areas – the little known Reichen Group with its folklore of dwarves and giants, the Venediger Group with its glaciers and finally the Gross Glockner Group taking centre stage. Various hut-to-hut tours are described here, including the new Glockner Round that links seven huts together without having to cross glaciers. • 5 long-distance treks described, including a 10-day traverse across the whole area • alternatives, excursions and ascents of nearby peaks also suggested Key marketing points We can help you • ?

Thus, the Lifetime Hotels set standards in the entire healthcare sector.

Unfortunately, our modern everyday life is all too often characterised by pressure and a fast pace. We lose perspective on the essentials and only recog nise this if we have completely lost our true values or have had a burnout. To be permanently healthy, it is not enough to delete a few “todos” from the agenda. Rather, we should develop an attitude for longlasting health and happiness. We have founded the Lifetime Hotels to commem orate a spirit which surrounds us and is inherent in all of us: nature. -
