Letter from John Roost to A. C. V. R.
No full textA letter of John Roost to the Rev. Albertus C. Van Raalte, concerning his efforts in selling bonds out East for the funding of the Holland Harbor project. Selling bonds has been very difficult work but he encloses a check of $450 for bonds he sold in Albany. Roost does not enjoy his begging task at all.https://digitalcommons.hope.edu/vrp_1850s/1113/thumbnail.jp

Note from A. C. Van Raalte to John Roost
No full textRev. Albertus C. Van Raalte wrote a note to John Roost who is addressed as friend. Roost is canvassing for funds out east for the Holland Harbor project. A recent storm had damaged the project recently. Henry D. Post received his second letter and contents, presumably money he had collected. Van Raalte reported that he is busy with classis business and must soon go begging for money himself. He would rather do an exorcism than raise money, but it had to be done.https://digitalcommons.hope.edu/vrp_1850s/1139/thumbnail.jp
Letter from A. C. Van Raalte to John Roost
No full textA letter of Albertus C. Van Raalte to Mr. John Roost who is on a trip East to obtain funds for the Holland Harbor. V.R. says, May God make your trip helpful toward the well-being of the people whose care is laid upon your hands in his providence. Money is badly needed in order to proceed with the harbor work. Although V.R. is much involved with business and community affairs, he places all within a spiritual framework. This letter give more evidence of V.R.\u27s piety and deep religious convictions.https://digitalcommons.hope.edu/vrp_1850s/1052/thumbnail.jp

Letter from A. C. V. R. to John Roost
No full textA letter of the Rev. Albertus C. Van Raalte to John Roost who is canvassing people in the East hoping to sell them bonds for the development of the Holland Harbor. Roost had written from Albany, New York, on July 11 concerning his efforts. Van Raalte sent this letter to the General Synod board rooms at 61 Franklin St. in New York City, in care of a Mr. W. Ferris. V.R. reported on the crop situation. He adds a cryptic sentence: I did not yet talk to anybody, so I have not been tempted to relate our unfavorable circumstances. This may refer to the difficulties Roost has had with the township board which accused him of not turning over all the funds Roost collected the previous year for the harbor.https://digitalcommons.hope.edu/vrp_1850s/1114/thumbnail.jp
Iron Age to Medieval entomogamous vegetation and Rhinolophus hipposideros roost in south-eastern Wales (UK)
No full textKarst cave systems are well developed in Wales (UK) and, in some instances, constitute important bat roosts. Ogof Draenen, near Blaenavon in south-east Wales, is the most recent major cave discovery (1994) with already > 70 km of passages explored spanning a vertical range of 148 m. With the exception of one small chamber (Siambre Ddu) located directly above the main Ogof Draenen system, very few bats have been noticed inside. Extensive accumulations of guano, attributable to Rhinolophus hipposideros, are however found in parts of the Ogof Draenen system. In places covering many square meters and sometimes building heaps > 0.5 m thick, these represent volumes not yet found in any other cave system in the British Isles. Although the date of the abandonment of the main Ogof Draenen system as a bat roost remains unknown, six radiocarbon dates on guano from Ogof Draenen place the occupation in the Iron Age to Medieval period at least. Palynological analysis was undertaken on ten samples distributed through the cave. Comparisons were made with a moss polster and a lake mud sample from the area to provide a first approximation of the regional modern pollen rain and with two modern guano samples, one from Siambre Ddu and one from Agen Allwedd cave (5 km to the north-west) to provide a temporal comparison with the fossil guano. Agen Allwedd cave currently is one of the largest active roosts for Lesser Horseshoe bats in Britain and lies close to the present northern limit of this endangered species in Europe. The main results are that the cave appears to have been used both as a summer and a winter roost; most of the Ogof Draenen guano is formed within c.1600 14C years and, if the largest heap is continuous, it has accumulated within 750 14C years, i. e. 0.16 mm.year-1; the fossil guano samples reflect a relatively closed oak forest with more abundant ivy (Hedera) and holly (Ilex) than at present; insect-pollinated plants such as Ilex, Acer, Hedera and Impatiens glandulifera are over–represented in the guano samples; in addition to the usual causes of bat roost decline (pesticides, pollution), in the case of Ogof Draenen, we may add entrance blocked by rock collapse and decline of the local forest cover as well as change in its composition

Havendammen van IJmuiden, modelonderzoek
No full textDe Bouwdienst van Rijkswaterstaat heeft WL Delft Hydraulics opdracht gegeven voor het uitvoeren van 2D fysisch modelonderzoek ten behoeve van een mogelijke renovatie van de havendammen van IJmuiden. Het betreft enerzijds modelonderzoek om meer inzicht te verkrijgen in mogelijk optredende schademechanismen bij de huidige constructie (Proevenserie A) en anderzijds modelonderzoek ten behoeve van de afweging tussen drie verschillende overlagingsvarianten (Proevenserie B). De mogelijke schade mechanismen die zijn onderzocht in Proevenserie A zijn: \u95 Het bepalen van de stabiliteit van de huidige teenconstructie. \u95 Het meten van waterdrukken op de bodem ten behoeve van het bepalen van interne verhangen in het filtermateriaal en de kern, om mogelijke uitspoeling van zand te kunnen beoordelen. \u95 Het meten van opwaartse krachten onder de asfaltlaag. Ten behoeve van de onderlinge afweging van overlagingsvarianten zijn drie varianten getest: 1. Variant 3b; Nieuwe toplaag bestaande uit een enkele laag hoge dichtheid kubussen, waarbij de ruimte tussen de oude toplaag en de nieuwe toplaag is uitgevuld met breuksteen. 2. Variant 4; Nieuwe toplaag bestaande uit een dubbele laag hoge dichtheid kubussen, waarbij de ruimte tussen de oude toplaag en de nieuwe toplaag is uitgevuld met breuksteen 3. Nieuwe toplaag bestaande uit een dubbele laag hoge dichtheid kubussen, waarbij de ruimte tussen de oude toplaag en de nieuwe toplaag niet is uitgevuld. Het belangrijkste doel van de modelproeven voor de overlagingsvarianten was om de stabiliteit van de toplaag, de teen en de bodembescherming van de drie varianten te vergelijken.IJmuiden, Havenda
