Abstract Wood-inhabiting fungi were collected on different trees in 99 loca-' lities of alder woods, dominated by Alnus incana or occasionally A. glutinosa, in N-C Sweden and C Norway. Most of the localities are situated near the east coast of Sweden where the prevailing land elevation creates conditions suitable for colonization by alder. The remaining localities are mainly found in the inland parts of Sweden and Norway, along streams, in ravines etc. The investigated localities are briefly described as to their general vegetation, and a regional survey of the alder forests is given. The number of collections of Aphyllophorales amounts to approxi­ mately 5,000, comprising 286 species. The following new combinations are proposed: Hypoohnicium polonense (Bres.) Strid, H. pruinosum (Bres.) Strid, Phlebia lindtneri (Pil.) Parm. and Sistotrema hete- roncmum (John Erikss.) Strid. Seven species are collected as new to Scandinavia, viz., Botryobasidium aure urn3 Ceratobasidium stridiit Hyphoderma orphanellum, Hyphodontiella multiseptata, Hypoohnicium pruinosum> Phlebia lindtneri and Tubuliorinis effugiens, and approxi­ mately 85 additional species are reported for the first time from the investigation area.

Marit Bjørgen (NOR) has won four of the previous 11 sprint World Cup events in Ruka (all classic style), most of all athletes and one more than Petra Majdic (SLO). Bjørgen's four sprint World Cup wins in Ruka, are joint-most for her at a single venue along with Lahti and Düsseldorf. Bjørgen is on five podium finishes in sprint World Cup events in Ruka, joint- most along with Majdic. Bjørgen has only recorded more sprint World Cup podium finishes in Davos (6) than in Ruka (5). Stina Nilsson (SWE) has won the last three sprint World Cup events (free and classic) and could become the first non-Norwegian to claim four victories in a row since Majdic in 2009. Nilsson has won each of the last five sprint World Cup events she participated in. The last time she failed to claim victory was in the sprint free in Davos on 11 December 2016 (31st). On 26 November 2016, Nilsson won the sprint classic in Ruka, her first ever World Cup victory in classic style. Only Maiken Caspersen Falla (NOR, 10) has claimed more sprint World Cup wins since the start of 2014/15 than Nilsson (9). Last season's sprint World Cup winner Falla has reached the podium in 14 of her last 15 sprint World Cup appearances with a 31st-place finish in Drammen (classic style) on 8 March as the only exception.

  • Part Iii the Inquiries Conducted After The
    FINAL REPORT 47 PART III THE INQUIRIES CONDUCTED AFTER THE TRAGEDY 1. THE ADMINISTRATIVE INQUIRY BY THE ITALIAN AIR FORCE 1.1 Introduction The Committee of Italian Air Force officers convened by the Command of the 1st Air Region on 4 February 1998 (known as a technical inquiry) drew up its report in accordance with STANAG 3531 on investigations of accidents/incidents involving military aircraft from two or more NATO nations. This Committee worked in conjunction with its US counterpart, from which it obtained information as required. It did not, however, obtain copies of the documentation consigned to the official records, although it had free access for consultation purposes. The Committee’s investigations covered its fields of interest, where compatible with the procedures of the Italian judicial investigation, taking due account of the fact that many of the objects, materials, and documents had been seized. The investigation was affected by the fact that the crew members had opted to exercise their right to remain silent under questioning about the event. The Committee therefore recognized that it could not obtain certain fundamental information from the parties directly involved, such as data on the planning and execution of the mission, and that it could not ascertain the exact dynamic of events or the conduct of the crew members during the mission. 1.2 Summary of the Air Force investigation report The report contains the essential data on the most significant parts of the mission denominated « EASY 01 »: from pre-flight briefing to take-off from Aviano, the impact with the cableway and the emergency landing.

  • January 2013 – Volume Nineteen, Number One GREAT AFRICAN
    January 2013 – Volume Nineteen, Number One EXPEDITION NEWS, now in its 19th year, is the monthly review of significant expeditions, research projects and newsworthy adventures. It is distributed online to media representatives, corporate sponsors, educators, research librarians, explorers, environmentalists, and outdoor enthusiasts. This forum on exploration covers projects that stimulate, motivate and educate. GREAT AFRICAN EXPEDITION ENTERS PHASE TWO Sir Samuel White Baker’s great great grandson David Baker and British filmmaker Jonathan Maguire will join African explorer and anthropologist Julian Monroe Fisher for phase two of The RailRiders 2012-2016 Great African Expedition. Leaving this month, the team will retrace the 1860’s expeditionary route of Sir Samuel White Baker and his wife Lady Florence from Juba throughout South Sudan and Uganda. In February 2012, Julian Monroe Fisher announced an ambitious five-year - nine expedition ethnographical research project deep in the heart of Africa. The objectives of the ongoing project are to compare the 19th century Ethnographic documentation of the African tribal kingdoms gathered during the expeditions of the Victorian age explorers with the realities of 21st century Africa. The project will retrace the African expeditionary routes of the famed Victorian explorers to include Baker, Speke, Grant, Burton, de Brazza, Wissman, Baumann, Park, Cameron, Stanley and Livingstone. By researching the personal letters, diaries and papers from the Victorians during and after their expeditions that are now scattered globally in private collections and museums, Fisher hopes to develop insight into the African cultures that the explorers encountered. They hope to shed light on what changes occurred as a result of colonization and post colonization in some of the most remote corners of Africa.

    KONZEPT TOUR DE SKI SAISONS 2019/2020 & 2020/2021 IN LIECHTENSTEIN 1. EINLEITUNG 2 2. LANGLAUF IN LIECHTENSTEIN 3 3. TOUR DE SKI 7 4. TOUR DE SKI IN LIECHTENSTEIN 8 5. ANHÄNGE 23 Kontaktadresse Kandidaturkomitee Verein zur Förderung des Nordischen Skisports c/o Liechtensteinischer Skiverband Landstrasse 81 FL-9494 Schaan Tel: +423 233 36 30 1 1. EINLEITUNG Die Begeisterung für den Skisport in Liechtenstein ist riesig. So ist beispielsweise in keinem anderen Land der Skiverband grösser als der Fussballverband. Regelmässig gelingt es, sowohl im Langlaufsport wie auch im alpinen Bereich Topathleten an die Weltspitze zu führen. Der Liechten- steinische Skiverband geniesst international eine ausgezeichnete Reputation. Diese positive Wahr- nehmung würde im Rahmen eines Weltcup-Anlasses auch auf das Land Liechtenstein übergreifen. Die Tour de Ski-Etappe wird in 25 bis 30 Ländern live übertragen. Ebenfalls ist eine Berichterstat- tung im Vorfeld des Events, wie auch über die Resultate im Rahmen von Sportprogrammen, zu erwarten. Allein bei SRF haben am 01.01.2016 über 600‘000 TV-Zuschauer den Langlaufsprint in Lenzerheide live mitverfolgt. Insgesamt bietet dieser Anlass Liechtenstein die Möglichkeit, sich von seiner besten Seite zu zeigen und positiv in den Medien wahrgenommen zu werden. Im Rahmen des FIS-Kongresses im Mai 2018 wurde der provisorische „Weltcup Kalender Lang- lauf“ für die Saison 2019/2020 besprochen. Im Vorfeld des zuständigen Komitee-Meetings wurde der Vertreter des liechtensteinischen Skiverbandes, Präsident Dr. Alexander Ospelt, von Swiss- Ski daraufhin hingewiesen, dass sich unter Umständen die Chance bieten würde, die Tour de Ski Etappe von Obersdorf (D) zu erhalten. Dies weil Obersdorf die WM 2020/2021 durchführt und die Organisation sich auf diesen Event hin fokussiert.
