SUMMER During the summer camp of 1977 in Greenough, Montana, we students did not limit our education to the four subjects being taught by the instructors. Besides being well versed in forest ecology, wood ecology, {'Stop! I've gotta get a picture." wood utilization, forest resource measurements, and multiple use operations, we also became familiar with the use of axes, knives, potato The Bertha Hill tower near Head- peelers, closets, and Dodge van quarters, Idaho. windows. Gary Stephan and Dave Johnson were considerate enough to take time from their studies in order to demonstrate to the rest of us the extended use of the hatchet and 3/4 axe. The purpose of Gary's demonstration was to show that a sharp hatchet works as well on calculators as it does on wood. Dave, Dr. Countryman teaching the art of fly however, seemed to value his casting. calculator more than his foot and proved that a foot could be cut even through the formidable protection of a tennis shoe. It cost him several stitches and two weeks on crutches, but the rest of us thought it was well worth the lesson learned.

  • 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.
