Boulder Clay

Some very interesting deposits of Pleistocene age have lately been exposed on the Burton Road, Derby. The road rises on the north side of Mill Hill, and near the top, at the height of 260 feet, cuts into a mass of Boulder-clay, which is, or was, well shown in the cuttings for the new roads leading into Byron Street. Another outlier of the same clay is exposed in Littleover Lane to the southwest. The main mass of the deposit cut into on the Burton Road is a red morainic clay with boulders; apparently a subaerial moraine subsequently modified by the passage over it of land ice. Unlike the tough, silty, red and blue aqueous Boulder Clays so plentifully spread over the Midland counties, it shows little or no signs of aqueous action. Sometimes it has a banded or streaked appearance, but this seems to be due rather to a crushing or pressing-out action than to original conditions of deposition.

On De La Beche's Geological Survey Map of Cornwall are three colours representing the associated rocks at, and on each side of the Manacle Point. The Point itself and for a considerable distance south of it is represented as a greenstone. Partially encased in the greenstone and to the south of it is gabbro, which forms the main mass of this rock in the Lizard district. On the north side of the greenstone which forms the extreme south wall of Porthonstock Cove is hornblende-schist, which with some serpentine and other rocks terminates against the killas, or slates near Porthalla.Several observers with seeming good reason have drawn attention to the fact that the greenstone as represented on the map is made to cover much too large an area to the south, and that any one walking from this direction, or the reverse, finds gabbro where the former rock was expected to occur.

Semarang City has public transport terminal at Terboyo. It is unperformance terminal has caused by land subsidden and flood. The aims of this study is determined fisibility of Terboyo freight-transport terminal park at Semarang City. Methodology analysis at this study is improved transport modelling to determine freight-transport demand. Traffic counting survey with Manual Kapasitas Jalan Indonesia (MKJI) 1997 method are used to know the road and intersection performances that closest to Terminal Terboyo. The study results have showed most trucks parked in Kaligawe road and Yos Sudarso road was continuous journey, while trucks parked in Ronggowarsito road was a truck with the origin or destination of Semarang. Potential park fasilities at Terboyo is indicated by the length of the vehicle configuration plan of 8 meters and parking 45° obtained as much as 73 PSU (Parkign Space Unit), while the north side of the field with a length of 18 meters and plan vehicle parking configuration 30° obtained 76 PSU. It has powerfull to accommodate parking of heavy vehicles. This studi has not identified the potential of regional freight-transport. Occutionally, the pattern of movement of freight transport does not occur in the local area only. So, that further studies need to be conducted with respect to the coverage area of study on a regional basis.

The Town

The fossils which Mr. V. M. Turnbull has collected from supposed Slade Beds on the “roadside near St. Martin's Cemetery, Haverfordwest,” were obtained along the north side of a road leading westward from St. Martin'ls Cemetery to Portfield House, on the west aide of the town. About half-way between the Cemetery and Port-field House the road is crossed by a by-road known as Jury Lane; one of the fossiliferous localities lies 110 yards east of Jury Lane crossing, another is 100 to 150 yards west of it. The area in question is contained in the Old Series one-inch Geological Survey map, Sheet 40, the New Series one-inch map, Sheet 228, and in the six-inch map, Pembrokeshire, Sheet 27 N.E.

Scientific Value

The discovery which is the subject of these notes was unfortunately rendered incomplete by the fact that the initial exhumation of the bones was not witnessed by me, as I came on the scene after the greater part of the skeleton had been shovelled away by those ignorant of its scientific value.The gravel-pit in which I found the remains appears to be cut into a Plateau gravel, probably of an age corresponding to the break-up of one of the great glaciations. It is situated near, but not on, the summit of an eminence called Kedington Hill, about 2 miles South-by-East of Sudbury Station. The site was once included under the name of Kedington Common, and is on the North side of the road called Kedington Lane.

The Reverend Warren Burton (1800-1866) of Wilton, New Hampshire described the District School he attended between 1804 and 1817 in these words: The Old School-house, in District No. 5, stood on the top of a very high hill, on the north side of what was called the County road. The house of Capt. Clark, about ten rods off, was the only human dwelling within a quarter of a mile. The reason why this seminary of letters was perched so high in the air, and so far from the homes of those who resorted to it, was this: Here was the center of the district, as near as surveyor's chain could designate. The people east would not permit the building to be carried one rod further west, and those of the opposite quarter were as obstinate on their side. The edifice was set half in Capt. Clay's field, and half in the road. The wood-pile lay in the corner made by the east end and the stone wall.... The doorstep was a broad unhewn rock, brought from the neighboring pasture. It had not a flat and even surface, but was considerably sloping from the door to the road; so that, in icy times, the scholars, in passing out, used to snatch from the scant declivity the transitory pleasure of a slide.... The outer side of the structure was never painted by man; but the clouds of many years had stained it with their own dark hue....

As If

In a paper published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (vol. xxxviii, pp. 166–168), Mr Alexander G. Ramage described cases of mirage as seen on the Queensferry Road, near Edinburgh. Similar appearances have been since then observed and reported from different parts of the country, and the photographs of these by Mr G. F. Quilter, Ingatestone, are of some interest. Prints of five photographs taken by Mr Quilter were shown at the meeting of the Society held on 3rd November 1919; four were taken at one place about 100 yards’ distance from where the dry road appeared to be a pool. The camera looked along the road in a direction E.N.E., the road rising slightly towards the position where the mirage was seen. The best photographs, which were taken on 15th June 1919, at 1.30 p.m., showed certain posts on the north side of the road appearing distinctly reflected in the mirage pool. In the fifth photograph, taken at a different locality in August 1919, the shaded side of a telegraph post with neighbouring trees and a white-walled house beyond were distinctly seen as if reflected from a pool in the middle of the road. The main interest lies in the fact that the photographs bring out the phenomenon quite clearly.

Interesting Structure

The recent removal of the road which ran across the Forum Romanum by the Arch of Severus has at last brought to light the whole of the existing remains of the Rostra, and finally settled the oft-disputed question as to the size and form of this historically most interesting structure. The original Rostra stood on a different site; they were on the north side of the Forum Romanum, and were constructed the Comitium, which was a paved area in front of the Curia, probably surrounded by a rail or low screen. There is very strong evidence to show that the church of St. Adriano is the Curia as it was finally rebuilt by Diocletian; the brick-facing of the front of this building, with its enriched mouldings of fine hard stucco (opus albarium), is clearly work of the time of Diocletian; even in minute details it corresponds with certain parts of the Thermae of that emperor. The Comitium then must have been in the space between St. Adriano and the Arch of Severus—now occupied by a modern road, which buries the original level to the depth of about twenty feet. It appears to have been a paved area, not raised above the Forum but a few steps below it.

Slight Rise

At the commencement of the year 1925 the Post Office authorities, for the purpose of laying down telephone lines, were making a trench from the corner of Rochester Road (Camden Town) north-eastward up the Camden Road and across it into and along Murray Street in the direction of St. Paul's Road, and were laying ducts at the depth of about 10 ft. The distance from the corner of Rochester Road to a point opposite the corner of Murray Street is 160 yards, the direction north-east, with a slight rise in that direction. Previously the London County Council tramway cable ducts had been laid down to the depth of 3 ft. 6 in., but below this level the whole of the ground excavated was in an undisturbed state. The trench was 2 ft. 7 in. wide. A man-hole had been sunk at the corner of Rochester Road, another at the end of the works on the Camden Road, and a third opposite to it at the corner of Murray Street, all to a depth from the surface of more than 12 ft. In fact the Camden Road man-hole was sunk to the depth of 15 ft. 6 in., so as to enable the excavators to tunnel under the road to Murray Street in order that the stream of traffic along the Camden Road might not be disturbed.

Over The Top

Highway 82 is located along the Gulf of Mexico and provides one of the barriers to flood damage from wave action that occurs normally along the coastal shoreline and as a result of wave surges during stormy weather and hurricanes. When the waves break over the top of Highway 82 form the south, significant erosion damage will occur on the north side of the road instead, often resulting in destruction of the shoulder and the roadway that it supports. This results in significant maintenance cost for the State of Louisiana, loss of vital access to the coastline, and destruction of the protective barrier necessary to protect the residences and uses of the land along the Gulf of Mexico. The CFD and acoustical analyses were performed to evaluate the erosion resistance of a design configuration. The CFD simulations were conducted to investigate the weather and wave conditions and the impact on the shoulder erosion. The in-situ pressure data were recorded at several locations on and downstream of the north-side shoulder, and acoustical analyses were conducted to investigate the acoustic characteristics associated with the weather and wave conditions.
