Ego in amorem inciderem ... et ego tristis spectator - Die Autobiographie des jülich-bergischen Rates Petrus Simonius Ritz (1562-1622)

Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt die 1604 verfasste und bislang unveröffentlichte Autobiographie des kurtrierischen, jülich-bergischen und nach dem Zerfall der Vereinigten Herzogtümer Jülich-Kleve-Berg pfalz-neuburgischen Rates Petrus Simonius Ritz (1562-1622) vor. Seit 1595 stand der Schreiber in jülich-bergischen Diensten und nahm bis zu seinem Tod an fast allen bedeutsamen Ereignissen der damals angespannten politischen Situation am Niederrhein teil. Bei Beachtung der Klischees, die Simonius in seiner Selbstdarstellung verwendet, dürfte die mitunter sehr detaillierte und aufmerksame Beschreibung seiner alltäglichen Wahrnehmungen den besonderen Wert der Aufzeichnungen ausmachen. Er erzählt von seinem Bildungsweg, von Heirat, Krankheit und dem Tode seiner ersten Frau, der anschließenden Wiederverheiratung und natürlich auch vom Alltag bei Hofe.

Intensive Rotational Grazing of Steers at the Andrew Jackson Demonstration Farm

Fifty head of crossbred steers started grazing 51 acres of pasture on May 1 in a rotational grazing system using a variable density paddock system. Twenty-two head grazed 92 days, 27 grazed 140 days, and one steer died. A total of 11,922 pounds was produced on 5,804 animal-days of grazing. The average daily gain was 2.02 pounds for group 1 and 2.07 for group 2. The stocking rate for the first 92 days was .98 steers per acre and .53 for the final 48 days. The animal days of grazing per acre was 113 and the pounds of gain per acre was 233. Total return for land, labor and management for the demonstration was $2,829.76 or $55.49/acre.

Management Intensive Grazing of Stockers at the Andrew Jackson Demonstration Farm (1996 – 1998)

The Andrew Jackson Demonstration Farm (AJDF) is located in central Jackson County in east central Iowa. A board of directors operates the farm for the purpose of demonstrating different production practices and management strategies. From 1996 to 1998 management intensive grazing practices and the grazing of stockers on a combination of permanent and tillable pasture have been demonstrated. Grazing strategies or practices demonstrated during these years included establishment of Eastern Gamagrass and Big Bluestem, variable density grazing, measuring forage on-offer, estimating dry matter intake, grazing corn, pasture renovation, and fencing and water systems. Production performance data were gathered for the three years stockers that were grazed. During this time the stockers averaged 121 animal days of grazing, a 1.1 head per acre stocking rate, a 1.85 pound average daily gain, and 228 pounds of gain per acre. The financial measures evaluated the value of gain on pasture and the pasture cost of the gain. The value of gain per pound was positive for 1996 and 1997 at $.58 and $.52 whereas in 1998 it was a -$.04. Pasture costs per pound of gain ranged from $.12 to $.16. Production performance is only one part of the profit picture when evaluating a stocker operation. Buysell margins are the other significant part that can greatly impact the profit potential of a summer grazing program.

Terrestrial Radar Interferometric Measurement of Hillslope Deformation and Atmospheric Disturbances in the Illgraben Debris-Flow Catchment, Switzerland

We describe a method for rapid identification and precise quantification of slope deformation using a portable radar interferometer. A rockslide with creep-like behavior was identified in the rugged and inaccessible headwaters of the Illgraben debris-flow catchment, located in the Central Swiss Alps. The estimated volume of the moving rock mass was approximately 0.5 x 10(6) m(3) with a maximum daily (3-D) displacement rate of 3 mm. Fast scene acquisition in the order of 6 s/scene led to uniquely precise mapping of spatial and temporal variability of atmospheric phase delay. Observations led to a simple qualitative model for prediction of atmospheric disturbances using a simple model for solar radiation, which can be used for advanced campaign planning for short observation periods (hours to days).
