other uses A Nullah or Nulla Hindi , also Nallah in Punjabi language Punjabi is an arm of the sea , stream , or watercourse , a steep narrow valley . Like the wadi of the Arabs , the nullah is characteristic of mountainous or hilly country where there is little rainfall. In the drier parts of India , and in many parts of Australia there are small steep sided valleys penetrating the hills, clothed with rough brushwood or small trees growing in the stony soil. During occasional heavy rains torrents rush down the nullahs and quickly disappear. There is little local action upon the sides, while the bed is lowered, and consequently these valleys are narrow and steep. In Hong Kong , a nullah is typically a concrete lined channel designed to allow rapid run off of storm water from high ground, to prevent flooding of urbanised coastal areas.

Shortly thereafter, a Latvian people Latvian immigrant, Charles Peterson, strolled into the Kapp workshop and declared that he could make better pipes than they could. Armed with an imaginative flair for pipes and a craftsman s background, Peterson not only proved himself correct, but became the third partner in the fledgling firm. Today, Peterson, run by Thomas Palmer, makes about 100,000 pipes annually, distributed all over the world. After Europe , the US is the largest market with 12 15 of Peterson s production. Pipes Image Peterson cutaway.jpg thumb A Peterson Dry System Pipe cutaway Perhaps the most notable design from the Kapp and Peterson factory was Peterson s famed Dry System pipes, patented in 1894. Featuring a small reservoir intended to collect moisture before it reaches the smoker, the System Pipe is designed to create a drier and cooler smoke and discourage the formation of dottle . The System Pipe is still a consistent top seller for Peterson. Another notable design from Peterson is the so called P lip a mouthpiece that directs smoke upwards towards the roof of the mouth instead of the tongue. This is intended to produce a drier and less biting smoke than when smoke is directed at the tongue, as with other pipes.

The Sumatran tropical pine forests is a tropical and subtropical coniferous forests subtropical coniferous forest ecoregion on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia . Location and description These pine forests are found on the higher slopes of Sumatra, especially in the north of the island near Lake Toba and along the Barisan Mountains including the tall Mount Leuser . With 2500mm of rainfall per year the pine forests have a Tropical rainforest climate but are drier than the thick rainforest areas lower down the slopes, especially on the drier eastern aspects of the mountains. ref http www.worldwildlife.org wildworld profiles terrestrial im im0304 full.html ref Flora This ecoregion is one of the rare areas of pine forest in the tropics with the dominant species Sumatran Pine Pinus merkusii , which has become established in areas where rainforest has been disturbed throughout history by events including landslides and forest fires as well as human clearance. Forest fire is a ongoing and continuous feature of the life cycle of the forest. Fauna There is less wildlife here than in the rainforest that covers most of the island and there are no endemic mammals but there are still a number of near endemic species including birds like the Sunda Robin . Threats and preservation The pine forests of the higher areas are less vulnerable to clearance than the valuable hardwood rainforests lower down and furthermore a third of them are within the Kerinci Seblat National Park Kerinci Seblat and other national parks.
