It presents the objectives, expected results and a summary of main achievements for each of the Plan's six areas of intervention (agriculture, access to riverbanks, community involvement and awareness, ecological integrity, navigation, and state of the St. Lawrence monitoring). Two examples of actions implemented by SLP stakeholders and their partners are also presented for each area. Readers who would like more detailed information on this fourth phase of the SLP can visit www.plan saint lau rent.qc.ca . This website includes biennial reports (2005–2007 and 2007–2009), studies, fact sheets, scientific posters, articles and new releases. The site also presents broader information on the SLP as a whole since the first Canada–Québec agreement on the St. Lawrence, signed in 1988. 1 Message from Canada’s Minister of the Environment take special pride in presenting this report, which highlights the successes I achieved between 2005 and 2010 under the fourth Canada–Québec Agreement on the St. Lawrence. First ratified over two decades ago, the Agreement started out as an instrument for cleaning up the St. Lawrence. Since then, it has evolved into a much more comprehensive collaborative tool dedicated to enhancing the quality of this im - portant Canadian ecosystem. The outcomes achieved since the first Canada– Québec agreement on the St. Lawrence are reduced pollution, the protection of human health, habitat conservation for the ecosystem's flora and fauna, and greater community awareness and involvement. The objectives of Phase IV were to protect, conserve and enhance the St. Lawrence ecosystem by promoting sustainable development, fostering a better under - standing of complex interactions within the ecosystem, maintaining its ecological integrity, closely monitoring its state, and increasing community involvement. The Government of Canada has been committed to, and has very actively partici - pated in, every aspect of this plan by fully subscribing to its ecosystemic approach. The underlying approach of this interjurisdictional and interdepartmental partnership is simple and effective. It focuses on knowledge acquisition, information and expertise sharing, solution seeking, awareness raising and, lastly, the imple - mentation of actions to protect and enhance the St. Lawrence's riches. Peter Kent 3 Message from the Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks of Quebec hase IV of the Canada–Québec Agreement on the St. Lawrence came to an Pend in 2010. This important phase—focused on sustainable development— helped protect and enhance the resources of this unique ecosystem. It embodies a true model of collaboration between scientists, government partners and rep resentatives from municipalities and shoreline communities. Through productive dialogue and discourse, these dedicated stakeholders managed to find common ground for their respective interests in strategic areas: community involvement, agriculture, access to riverbanks, ecological integrity, navigation and state of the St. Lawrence monitoring. Through their efforts, they helped complete a second overview of the St. Lawrence and moved towards the integrated management of this vast watershed. Collectively, we are now more aware of the importance of protecting the St. Lawrence's biodiversity and of reducing the upstream threats to it. If we truly want to leave this magnificent body of water in the best possible condition for our children, the responsibility falls on each and every one of us, no matter how we utilize its resources. In his superb animated film The Mighty River , filmmaker Frédéric Back expressed his wish that we act to protect the St. Lawrence's vital resources. I am convinced that that wish is coming true. Pierre Arcand 5 A Word from the Agreement Co-Chairs e are pleased to present this report on the activities carried out between W2005 and 2010 as part of the St. Lawrence Plan for a Sustainable Devel opment. This report covers the work of all partners involved. The ongoing collaboration between the Canadian and Quebec governments since the 1988 signing of the first agreement has been enriched by a multitude of public and private stakeholders and their commitment to promoting the in tegrated management of the three fundamental components of sustainable development (i.e. the environmental, social and economic considerations). This period also saw greater community involvement, such as the 100 or so projects implemented through the Community Interaction Program (CIP) and the 2009 Des collectivités actives tournées vers le Saint-Laurent [active communities focused on the St. Lawrence] forum, which brought together some 150 stakeholders. In terms of outreach, youth were included among target groups, and they responded to the invitation to numerous projects designed specifically for them. Community organizations were actively involved in documenting indicators for the State of the St. Lawrence Monitoring Program. In the area of agriculture, groups of growers were involved in the fine-tuning of best farming practices. With respect to access to riverbanks, major marine infrastructures were transferred and small wharves rebuilt in collaboration with municipalities. Lastly, certain non-governmental organizations (NGOs) took on projects in the area of ecological integrity. Most notable was the development of the Conservation Plan for the St. Lawrence Valley and Lake Champlain. During Phase IV, the St. Lawrence Plan celebrated its 20th anniversary. Shoreline communities marked this anniversary through their ZIP committees, as well as through a science week called Secrets of the St. Lawrence, which was held at the Musée de la civilisation in Québec. For past and current architects of this federal-provincial agreement, it was the ideal opportunity to showcase the success of the St. Lawrence plans and to discuss the future of our collaboration dedicated to the river's protection and conservation. We can proudly say that the efforts made in this phase have led to a stronger long-term commitment by the governments of Canada and Quebec with respect to conservation and enhancement of the St. Lawrence ecosystem based on a more integrated and concerted approach. In doing so, we have come closer to attaining an ambitious vision: a St. Lawrence for everyone. Philippe Morel, Charles Larochelle, Chair for Canada Chair for Quebec 7 Phase IV in brief P E D D M , t l u a e r r e h T é n e R : o t o h P he St. Lawrence Plan for a Sustainable Development is the fourth phase of Tthe Canada–Québec Agreement on the St. Lawrence and was implemented between 2005 and 2010. The plan aimed for participation by a greater number of St. Lawrence stakeholders and was based on the three fundamental components of sustainable development, namely environmental, social and economic considerations. The objective was therefore to contribute to a sustainable development that promotes ecological integrity, environmentally responsible economic activities, community commitment, and the informed, concerted and integrated governance of the St. Lawrence . To achieve this objective, the SLP's seven federal partners and three provincial partners agreed to take action in six areas of intervention: agriculture, access to riverbanks, community involvement and awareness, ecological integrity, navigation and state of the St. Lawrence monitoring. Their contributions materialized through commitments in one or more of these areas, as presented in detail below. For each of these areas, coordination committees have seen to the achievement of these results by planning and executing activities as well as ensuring information dissemination. These committees consisted of one co-chair for Canada, one co-chair for Quebec, experts from partner departments and ministries, and NGO representatives. As for the Agreement, it was administered by a management committee, which was chaired by Environment Canada (EC) and the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs du Québec (MDDEP).

  • Syringa Reticulata 'Summer Snow' 'Summer Snow' Japanese Tree Lilac
    Fact Sheet ST-612 October 1994 Syringa reticulata ‘Summer Snow’ ‘Summer Snow’ Japanese Tree Lilac1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Although a Lilac, this member of the species is quite different in appearance than those with which gardeners are more familiar (Fig. 1). Its rounded habit varies from symmetrical to irregular. Cultivars including ‘Ivory Silk’ and ‘Summer Snow’ could be used instead of the species due to the more consistent habit and more flowers. ‘Summer Snow’ is spectacular in flower and the persistent seed pods carry ornamental interest into the fall. This is a very large shrub or small tree, reaching a height of about 20 to 30 feet with a 20 to 25-foot-spread. The huge clusters of creamy white flowers, borne in early summer for about two weeks, are the main ornamental feature but lack the fragrance of the spring-blooming Lilacs -- this Lilac’s fragrance is more suggestive of privet. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Syringa reticulata ‘Summer Snow’ Pronunciation: sih-RING-guh reh-tick-yoo-LAY-tuh Common name(s): ‘Summer Snow’ Japanese Tree Lilac Family: Oleaceae USDA hardiness zones: 3A through 7A (Fig. 2) Figure 1.

  • THE FOUR SEASONS These Four Sculptures—Spring, Summer
    THE FOUR SEASONS Matthew Geddes—Dean, College of Performing and Visual Arts hese four sculptures—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—are Ta current expression of themes and forms I have been exploring for years. I have long been intrigued by the idea of a figure sculpted from a wheel-thrown cylinder of clay. One inspiration came from the classical Greek Caryatids, architectural columns that have become human figures. Spring, Summer, I began my studio art as a potter, throwing forms and vessels on the wheel. Autumn, and Winter. I find myself evolving into a sculptor interested primarily in the human figure, so it seems natural that as I develop my interest I would rely on Bronze sculptures by a variation of a method I know well. Matthew Geddes. Though I have made figures from thrown vessels before, The Four Seasons marks new territory for me in three ways: I am working in series; I am exploring the new medium of bronze, and I am playing with ideas of color. The virtue of series work is that the individual pieces are in dialogue with one another. They invite comparison. They comment on each other. For example, I have worked seasonal icons—flower, sun, leaf, snow—into the pieces. Also, the attitude of each seasonal figure is a variation of that of her sisters: summer looks up in a stance of joy whereas autumn looks back in a contemplative mood. These pieces may stand individually, but I intend them to be grouped into a whole. As I worked with the seasonal the power of art • 85 sisters, many ideas came to me, ideas I have explored in my sketchbook and which may in turn evolve into future sculptural projects: Continents (Europe, Asia, America, Africa) and Attributes (graces, virtues, vices).

    Task 1 Using the following pictures record your thoughts and feelings. Use the below ‘5 Senses Template’ to help you do this. Use your imagination to help you with the tastes and sounds. Task 2 Read the rest of the PowerPoint and make a note of any WONDERINGS or QUESTIONS which you have. A WONDERING is anything which you found interesting or made you think. A QUESTION is something which you want to learn more about. Climate Zones Around the World Climate is the weather that a particular place experiences over a long period of time. Climate zones are based on temperature and rainfall. Here is a simple breakdown of the world’s main climate zones. Polar – very cold and dry all year round. Continental – long, cold winters with shorter summers. Temperate – cool winters and mild summers. Tropical – hot, humid and wet all year round. Arid – very hot and dry all year round. Climate Zones in Australia The continent of Australia can be divided into three main climate zones – arid (hot and dry), tropical (hot and wet) and temperate (cool). The arid zone covers 70% of the continent. This land is classified as arid or semi-arid. The tropical zone is located in the far north of the continent. The temperate zone is located in the south- east, south and south-west of the continent. The Temperate Climate Zone in Australia Temperate climates are cooler than tropical climates. They experience the four distinct seasons of summer, autumn, winter and spring. The temperate climate zone of Australia experiences a variation in temperature and rainfall during the year, depending on the season.

    Chapter 24: Tropical Cyclones • Hurricane Naming, Track, Structure • Tropical Cyclone Development Tropical Cyclones vs. Mid-latitude Storms Tropical cyclones The tropical cyclone is a low-pressure system which derives its energy primarily from evaporation from the sea in the presence of high winds and lowered surface pressure. It has associated condensation in convective clouds concentrated near its center. Mid-latitude storms Mid-latitude storms are low pressure systems associated cold fronts, warm fronts, and occluded fronts. They primarily get their energy from the horizontal temperature gradients that exist in the atmosphere.

The Carnot cycle is a theoretical thermodynamic cycle and can be shown to be the most efficient cycle for converting a given amount of thermal energy into work, or conversely, creating a temperature difference (e.g. refrigeration) by doing a given amount of work.
