Hydrangea Anomala Subsp. Petiolaris
Belleplant 01/10/2021 - Pagina 1 van 3 Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris Klimhortensia De Klimhortensia is een ideale plant om een noordermuur mee aan te planten. De mogelijkheden hiervoor zijn zeer schaars maar met deze plant kan je toch kleur brengen in deze donkere plaatsen. Als jonge plant is het aan te raden om hem een beetje te leiden maar door zijn hechtworteltjes heeft hij daarna geen hulp meer nodig. De hechtwortels brengen geen schade toe aan de muur. ' Het houden van planten aan de noord- of oostzijde van de tuin wordt dikwijls als een probleem gezien. Toch zal in de meeste tuinen ook aan deze zijde wel wat zonlicht schijnen. Klimhortensia bloeit met grote, schermvormige bloemen Wie dan ook nog een muur gericht op het noorden heeft, vraagt zich dan af hoe die op een mooie manier is te bedekken. Klimhortensia is zo'n struik die al te fel zonlicht schuwt. De klimhortensia (Hydrangea anomala ssp. petiolaris) is inheems in delen van Japan en Noordoost-Azi‰. Daar groeit de klimhortensia in bomen en over rotsen. De klimhortensia behoort tot de familie van de Hydrangeaceae. Een klimhortensia heeft groot, min of meer ovaal blad dat langs de randen getand is. In de zomer is deze klimplant getooid met grote schermen witte bloemen. De witte bloemen langs de randen springen het meest in het oog. Ze zijn steriel en bedoeld om insecten aan te lokken. In het centrum staan meer groen getinte bloemen, die vruchtbaar zijn. Deze opbouw van fertiele en steriele bloemen wordt ook wel 'lacecap' genoemd. Een klimhortensia stelt geen buitengewone eisen aan de samenstelling van de grond. -
Sakhalin Island: Nivkh
70 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Sakhalin Island: Nivkh The Nivkh (or Gilyak in older literature) have traditionally inhabited the north- ern half of Sakhalin Island and adjacent regions of the mainland. They are relatively homogeneous in the cultural sense; their differences are mainly based on local adaptations to geographic environments, and the two distinct dialects, Sakhalin and mainland, are mutually intelligible. Their ethnic compo- sition is more homogeneous than that of their Tungusic-speaking Amur neigh- bors as it consists of a large core of kin groups of Nivkh origin and a minority of lineages that trace their descent to non-Nivkh ethnic ancestors, mainly those of Amur groups and Ainu. Nivkh culture, with its emphasis on sedentary fishing, is to a large extent analogous to those of their Amur and Ainu neighbors; however, the specialized maritime hunting of the coastal Nivkh was of a significance equal to fishing, and their sea-mammal hunting technology as well as the belief system empha- sizing marine animal cults connect the Nivkh with North Pacific coastal cul- tures of both sides of the Bering Strait, and archaeologically, with the maritime Okhotsk culture of the southern Sea of Okhotsk and the Old Koryak culture of northern Sea of Okhotsk. Other traits that distinguish the traditional Nivkh culture from their neighbors are aspects of their non-material culture such as corpse disposal by cremation and the alliance of three lineage units based on asymmetric connubium that contrasts with the reciprocal connubium charac- teristic for the mainland Tungus society as well as for the Amur ethnic com- plex. -

Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia, (2) Sakhalin Tsunami Warning Center, Federal Service of Russia for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia Institute of Marine Geology & Geophysics (the Far East Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences) carried out long wave measurements in the area of South Kuril Islands with the purpose of tsunami recording closely to the seismic active zone and study long wave spectra variability depending of weather conditions. Bottom pressure gauges were installed in several harbors of Shikotan Island, near Cape Lovtsov (north-eastern end of Kunashir Island), in the Kitoviy Bay (Iturup Island) and near Cape Van-der-Lind (Urup Island). Sakhalin Tsunami Center has a cable telemetry tsunami warning station in the Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island). Two tsunamis - a remote Samoa (September 30) and nearby Simushir tsunami (January 15) were recorded by different gauges in the area of South Kuril Islands and by telemetry station in Severo-Kurilsk. To examine spectral properties of long wave oscillations at each gauge, we calculated power spectral estimation using two different data segments (both 1 day length): the period preceding the tsunami event, we identified as “normal” and selected for analysis of the background signal; the “tsunami period” included tsunami caused oscillations. -

Do Not Plant List
April 30, 2019 Dear Co-owner, Last spring, the Landscape Committee reviewed their goals and objectives. Their four (4) goals and objectives are: foster resident participation and sense of community, support a safe environment though minimal use of lawn applications, work to eliminate invasive plants, and remove dead, diseased, or dangerous plantings. In an effort to eliminate invasive plants throughout Pittsfield Village, the Landscape Committee, together with the Board of Directors and the Village’s horticulturist, worked diligently to adopt the enclosed Do Not Plant List. The Landscape Committee encourages you to familiarize yourself with the Do Not Plant List. Each listing includes the botanical and common name of each plant, along with an easily identifiable photo, a brief description, and recommended alternative plantings. The Do Not Plant List becomes effective on May 30, 2019. Please remove all invasive plantings from your garden bed by this date. If these plants are not removed by May 30, 2019, you will be in violation of this policy. If you are not a Garden Marker Program participant, the plant will be removed by the Association. If you are a Garden Marker participant, you will receive a violation notice. If you have any questions pertaining to the plants listed on the Do Not Plant List, you are invited to attend a Landscape Committee Meeting. If you would like to make an appeal, please attend a monthly Board of Directors’ Meeting. The Landscape Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00pm at the Community Building. The Board of Directors meets on the last Wednesday of each month at the Community Building, open forum begins promptly at 6:15pm. -
Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R
STUDIA FORESTALIA SUECICA NR 39 1966 Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. An Analysis of Soviet Competitive Potentialities Skogsekonomi i Sovjet~rnionen rned en unalys av landets potentiella konkurrenskraft by KARL VIICTOR ALGTTERE SICOGSH~GSICOLAN ROYAL COLLEGE OF FORESTRY STOCKHOLM Lord Keynes on the role of the economist: "He must study the present in the light of the past for the purpose of the future." Printed in Sweden by ESSELTE AB STOCKHOLM Foreword Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. is a special study of the forestry sector of the Soviet economy. As such it makes a further contribution to the studies undertaken in recent years to elucidate the means and ends in Soviet planning; also it attempts to assess the competitive potentialities of the U.S.S.R. in international trade. Soviet studies now command a very great interest and are being undertaken at some twenty universities and research institutes mainly in the United States, the United Kingdoin and the German Federal Republic. However, it would seem that the study of the development of the forestry sector has riot received the detailed attention given to other fields. In any case, there have not been any analytical studies published to date elucidating fully the connection between forestry and the forest industries and the integration of both in the economy as a whole. Studies of specific sections have appeared from time to time, but I have no knowledge of any previous study which gives a complete picture of the Soviet forest economy and which could faci- litate the marketing policies of the western world, being undertaken at any university or college. -

EXPLORATION Multi-client seismic spurs interest The Northeast Sakhalin Shelf,with several giant fields already discovered and put on production,is recognised as a world-class petroleum province.New seismic acquired in the rest of the Sea of Okhotsk indicate that there is more to be found. Dalmorneftegeofizica Courtesy of TGS has acquired a huge seismic data base covering almost the entire Sea of Okhotsk. New, modern data is now made available through a cooperati- on with TGS Nopec. Photo: Erling Frantzen Courtesy of TGS BP/Rosneft Pela Lache OKHA SAKHALIN Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk The Sea of Okhotsk is named after Okhotsk, the first Russian settlement in the Far East. It is the northwest arm of the Pacific Ocean covering an area of 1,528,000 sq km, lying between the Kamchatka Peninsula on the east, the Kuril Islands on the southeast, the island of Hokkaido belonging to Japan to the far south, the island of Sakhalin along the west, and a long stretch of eastern Siberian coastline along the west and north. Most of the Sea of Okhotsk, except for the area around the Kuril Islands, is frozen during from November to June and has frequent heavy fogs. In the summer, the icebergs melt and the sea becomes navigable again. The sea is generally less than 1,500m deep; its deepest point, near the Kuriles, is 3,363 m. Fishing and crab- bing are carried on off W Kamchatka peninsula. The DMNG/TGS Seismic acquired in 1998, 2004 and 2005 is shown in green, blue and red colours. Note also the location of Okha where oil seeps were found 125 years ago.
