Measures are aimed at minimising the occurrence of incidents during the Race and, in the event an incident does occur, to limit its impact. Special safety measures and liabilities. Special attention should be given to passers-by, residents and other participants along the race track, when on- and off-loading materials (e.g. boats and trailers) and close to the cars. At all times children and youngsters must be under the supervision of supervisors and trainers. Instructions and directions of the race staff should always be followed. The organisers will not take responsibility for any losses or material and personal damage. Participants take part at their own risk – especially those participants who do not have an official KNRB Licence. The organisers cannot be held accountable. At the Vechtrace the general safety regulations as indicated in the KNRB (Dutch Rowing Association) regulations for rowing races are applicable. Special attention should be given to the KNRB requirements for rowing equipment. ● A bow ball with a diameter of at least 4 cm (white) ● Minimum thickness of the blades of 5 mm for board and 3mm for scull ● Foot plates and shoes that can be kicked off without the use of hands ● Minimal length of coxswain’s seat of 70 cm.

The operational tasks have been delegated to the Race Leader. The operational responsibilities delegated to the Race Leader pertain specifically to the rescue operations on the water. For rescue operations on the water the following general instructions have been determined. ● The moment a safety incidents is reported, the teams in the motor boats immediately take action, without waiting for further instructions. ● Depending on the location of an incident a victim will be brought ashore for further assistance on the following places: o Starting area o Jetty at the mill in Laar o Jetty at the bridge in Laar o Farmhouse at Leemgraven o Finish at farmhouse De Haandrink (landtong Vecht- Kanaal oostzijde) o Area near waterlock De Haandrink o Bridge Gramsbergen o Jetty at RC Salland The addresses of the abovementioned locations are an integral part of the instruction document for the Vechtrace In case of accidents and emergencies on shore the Race Leader has also been delegated by the Safety Coordinator to be the first point of reference. Procedures The Safety Coordinator, the Race Leader and the Head of the Jury will check and assess the weather forecast prior to the Vechtrace. In case of emergencies call Race Leader at +31 643704611 4 If considered necessary, the current weather forecast will be regularly checked and assessed during the Race. Telephone numbers ● Meteo Consult (personal consultation and call-back service): +31 317 399800 ● Meteo Consult (detailed recorded weather forecast): +31 900 9725 Internet: www.accuweather.com www.buienradar.nl www.bliksem.nu www.knmi.nl www.weer.nl The Safety Coordinator, the Race Leader and the Head of the Jury jointly consult on whether or not to cancel the Vechtrace in view of poor weather conditions such as strong winds (gusts), heavy showers and fog. A too violent current on the Vecht can also lead to cancellation. In case the water lock De Haandrik is closed due to the strong currents in the Vecht, an alternative course for the Vechtrace can be considered. The Safety Coordinator has the last say in decisions regarding safety issues. In case of acute weather changes such as a thunder storm (less than 10 seconds between lightning and thunder) the Safety Coordinator, if possible after consulting the Race Leader and the Head of the Jury, will immediately stop the race. If there is no opportunity for consultation then the first of the three above mentioned officials to hear of the acute change in circumstances, will take the decision to stop the Race. In case of a thunder storm, all boats will be immediately put ashore, even if they are half way through the Race. The immediate stop of the Race is communicated by mobile phone with special instructions to the rescue boat, the sweeping boat, the Safety Coordinator, the time registration and other relevant officials of the organization. In case of an emergency on the water, such as a rower urgently needing medical attention or the capsizing of a boat, the Race Leader, as delegated Safety Coordinator, should immediately be informed. Depending on the severity of the incident he/she will inform the rescue boat. Closing down of the Race can also be considered. When medical assistance is needed, the Race Physician will immediately be informed.

  • 1 ENTER the GHOST Cashless Payments in the Early Modern Low
    ENTER THE GHOST Cashless payments in the Early Modern Low Countries, 1500-18001 Oscar Gelderbloma and Joost Jonkera, b Abstract We analyze the evolution of payments in the Low Countries during the period 1500-1800 to argue for the historical importance of money of account or ghost money. Aided by the adoption of new bookkeeping practices such as ledgers with current accounts, this convention spread throughout the entire area from the 14th century onwards. Ghost money eliminated most of the problems associated with paying cash by enabling people to settle transactions in a fictional currency accepted by everyone. As a result two functions of money, standard of value and means of settlement, penetrated easily, leaving the third one, store of wealth, to whatever gold and silver coins available. When merchants used ghost money to record credit granted to counterparts, they in effect created a form of money which in modern terms might count as M1. Since this happened on a very large scale, we should reconsider our notions about the volume of money in circulation during the Early Modern Era. 1 a Utrecht University, b University of Amsterdam.

In dit rapport worden de resultaten gepresenteerd van de uitgevoerde risicoanalyse voor de categorie a-keringen van dijkringgebied 53, Salland. Het detailniveau van de analyses is afgestemd op de primaire doelstelling van VNK2: het verschaffen van een beeld van het overstromingsrisico. Hoewel dit rapport een beeld geeft van de veiligheid van dijkringgebied 53, dient het niet te worden verward met een toetsrapport in het kader van de Waterwet. De in VNK2 berekende overstromingskansen laten zich niet zonder meer vergelijken met de wettelijk vastgelegde overschrijdingskansen van de waterstanden die de primaire keringen veilig moeten kunnen keren. Bij het tot stand komen van de resultaten spelen de provincies en de beheerders een belangrijke rol. De provincie Overijssel heeft de overstromingsberekeningen uitgevoerd, die ten grondslag liggen aan de berekende gevolgen van de overstromingsscenario’s. De beheerders hebben een essentiële bijdrage geleverd door gegevens ter beschikking te stellen en de plausibiliteit van de opgestelde (alternatieve) schematisaties te bespreken. De uitgevoerde analyses zijn zowel intern als extern getoetst. Ten slotte heeft het Expertise Netwerk Waterveiligheid (ENW) de kwaliteit van de analyses en rapportages steekproefsgewijs gecontroleerd.

Dat klinkt duister en kil en riekt naar spinnenwebben en vochtig beschimmelde hoekjes. Maar dat pakt anders uit. Deze uitgave, samengesteld uit twaalf delen, biedt de meer dan gemiddeld geïnteresseerde, verhelderende kaartjes, duidelijke teksten en foto’s van de historisch- geografische regio’s van Nederland. Zo geeft het een compleet beeld van Nederland anno toen, nu en de tijd die daar tussen zit. De hoofdstukken over de deelgebieden/regio’s schetsen in het kort een karakteristiek per gebied. De cultuurhistorische blikvangers worden gepresenteerd. Voor de fijnproevers volgt hierna een nadere uiteenzetting. De ontwikkeling van het landschap, de bodem en het reliëf, en de bewoningsgeschiedenis worden in beeld gebracht. Het gaat over de ligging van dorpen en steden, de verkavelingsvormen in het agrarisch land, de loop van wegen, kanalen en spoorlijnen, dijkenpatronen, waterlopen, defensielinies met fortificaties.
