Cllr Johnson had brought along maps of the Buchanan Trust as requested. He will also forward copies of recent minutes to the clerk.
He reported that at the upcoming HALC AGM there will be advice on a list of what parish councils can do rather than Herefordshire Council and discussions on how to deliver services to residents and areas eg. If half a dozen parish councils took on the repair of potholes in their area would the contract price change? Cllr Johnson advised that that day proposals over social care provision were delivered and discussed at length, but would go to an overview and audit scrutiny committee before going back to the director to make a decision. It had been agreed not to charge carers and the principle of full cost recovery would be means tested, but should rural residents be subsidized by urban residents for travel?
Signatures had been received so work will now start on the old Hereford Cattle market site. The decision regarding the refurbishment of the Butter Market in Hereford had been deferred.
Thirty percent of government funding will be lost over the next five years (six and a half percent per year) which may result in a tax more, do less, work smarter combination.
Cllr Attwood reported that a visit had been made to look at flooding risks in Bosbury and Cradley by Herefordshire Council and Amey. Councillors expressed their disappointment that no parish councillors were made aware of this visit happening and were unable to give their local knowledge and opinion. It was felt this is typical of Herefordshire Councils lack of communication with parish councils. Cllr Attwood was asked to feedback what information was gained before any decision is made.
Planning permission has been gained for an incinerator at Hartlebury but there is currently no business plan, this could become a significant part of Herefordshire Councils budget, it is a £54m joint project with Worcestershire with Herefordshire having a 25% share.
It was decided that there were insufficient numbers of councillors present to co-opt new members. Matter deferred until November meeting.
The road sweeper had swept through the village recently but was only able to do one side of the road due to parked cars. The clerk was asked to speak to Amey and ask why as done previously they had not given the parish council 5 days notice of their intentions so that residents could be made aware and move their cars.
The culvert at Cottons Corner is OK but is backing up because water entering it cannot get away the other end due to a blockage, ditches are to be dug out which should alleviate this problem..
a) Traffic Speed Management / SID Data – Cllr Joyce-Townsend has gathered further information including a Department of Transport document from July 2012 setting local speed limits. The local police are now exercising speed enforcement through the village. RESOLVED Cllr Joyce-Townsend was authorized by the parish council to pursue this matter further on the parish councils behalf.
Anthony Bush has arranged a meeting on Tuesday 20th November at Brockington for all local parish councils to raise / discuss their speeding concerns with other interested parties.
It was decided to publicize what the parish council has been trying to do and what has been achieved with regard to speeding. RESOLVED Cllr Joyce-Townsend to draft a flyer for inclusion in the November edition of Network 5. Copies of the flyer to be sent to Cllr Boyle to be circulated through Coddington.
As a result of the hard work of Cllr Joyce-Townsend the local bus timetable has been altered to connect with the trains at Ledbury.
b) Letter to Clive Hall – we have received a reply to our letter to Clive Hall which is effectively a no to our proposals. RESOLVED Cllr Joyce-Townsend will draft a further letter to send.
c) Update from Footpath Warden – the crops had now been cleared and fields ploughed. Farmers have three weeks after cultivation to re-install the footpaths.
· Brook Lane – lengthsman to check potholes, ditches and drains and report any necessary work required, also the Pound Area by the church and burial ground.
· Cottons Corner – sight lines need addressing. RESOLVED that Cllr Hayes is to obtain three quotes for the required work.
e) The clerk is to request that Amey place a saltbox at the top of Foxhill by Hayloe Cottage.
c) 2013/14 Precept – RESOLVED – a finance group is to be set up. Members to be Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Past Chairman and clerk/RFO. This group will meet to discuss budget and requirement for precept then report back to full council where decision will be made.
d) At the recent cluster meeting it was decided to request a small contribution from each parish council towards the cluster expenses and funding, Bosbury were to be asked for £35. Approval of this payment to be made at November meeting.
134/12 Update on the Parish Plan – RESOLVED that each councillor has an area of responsibility as stated in the Parish Plan. Cllr Boyle to speak to Jenny Rees. Each councillor to report quarterly to the parish council. Next report due January 2013. If we require any help with the parish plan, Mel Preedy of HALC has offered her support.
a) Herefordshire Council "Your Community, Your Say" – event held 24th September. Around 200 people attended. Cllr Whitehead will forward outcome/responses to the clerk.
b) HALC – offer of hosting a parish meeting to encourage new councillors. RESOLVED that the clerk would check if The Old Boys School was available for Monday 19th November and then liaise with Lynda Wilcox of HALC.
a) Website – Frank Seabright is available to help with the website until the new year. The clerk is to thank him for his help and ask him to liaise with Rob Crampton. Annie Kay is to give us her hourly rate. A flyer is to be prepared asking for a new person willing to take on the website.
b) Coddington Notice Board – currently being made, will advise when it is ready for use.
a) HALC training dates were noted. Cllr Whitehead wishes to attend the AGM. The clerk is to book him a place. The clerk wishes to attend a number of course to help enable her to obtain her CiLCA qualification, this was AGREED.
Councillors who were not members of the planning committee left the meeting at 9.15pm.
be extended further than that of this application.


From the West: If you are heading to Ferriby from the West, the secret is to get onto the Eastbound M62 as soon as you can and follow it all the way to the end, it becomes the A63 about 12 miles from Hull. Keep heading on towards Hull. Look out for the turn off for Ferriby on the left. Go over the bridge and follow this road all the way around until you get past the Duke of Cumberland Pub. There is a crossroads just after the pub, you need to turn right down Church Road. Follow the road down, past the Church, and you will eventually come upon a sign for the ground on your left, just before the overhead rail bridge. It is usually best to find somewhere to park on Church Road, as the carpark down Grange Lane fills up fast. From the top of Grange Lane it is a short walk past the allotments to the ground.
From The South: Unless you actually live in Lincolnshire your best bet is probably to get onto the A1 or M1 north, and head towards Hull, taking the M18 and the M62, then following the instructions above for getting to Ferriby from the West. If you do live in Lincolnshire then you might consider the Humber Bridge on the A15 North from Lincoln, although it does cost something like £2.60 for a car, and more for minibuses and coaches. Once over the bridge turn left at the roundabout towards Leeds and the M62. You soon come across a left turning signposted North Ferriby. Follow this road down, past the Skoda garage and to the crossroads, where you turn left into Church Road. Follow the road down, past the Church, and you will eventually come upon a sign for the ground on your left, just before the overhead rail bridge. It is usually best to find somewhere to park on Church Road, as the car park down Grange Lane fills up fast. From the top of Grange Lane it is a short walk past the allotments to the ground.

Questions without answers - The universe holds many mysteries. One of them is the existence of intelligent life in other parts of the universe. The theory you're about to learn more about says that there is intelligent life out there, and reveals some even more frightening things.
Context - The year is 1943 and the United States is involved in World War II.
Experience - According to reports published in the book, 'The Expanding Case for the UFO' by Morris K. Jessup (an astronomer educated at the University of Michigan), the U.S. Navy carried out an experiment known as the 'Philadelphia Experiment.'
Teleportation - The theory says that the Americans managed to make the USS Eldridge destroyer invisible.
How did it happen? - The destroyer supposedly disappeared in Philadelphia in a flash of light with its crew aboard.
Where did it go? - The theory states that the USS Eldridge was teleported to a naval base in Norfolk, Virginia.
Witnesses - The incident was supposedly witnessed by navyman Carl Allen, who also reported seeing some of the crew dead, fused to the hull of the ship.
Get rid of any record - The survivors of the experiment were said to have been sent to a psychiatric clinic. They say that the crew members were brainwashed to make them forget the incident.
Einstein's research - According to the History Channel, Albert Einstein developed a project for the US army which would explain the phenomenon.
Einstein's research - According to the unified field theory (UFT), an electromagnetic device could have been responsible. The US wanted to be able to cross the ocean without being noticed by the enemy who were setting mines to combat allied ships.
Invisible - According to the History Channel, Einstein developed an experiment where a strong electromagnetic field was installed on the ship which would make it 'invisible' to radars and mines. But supposedly, in practice, the experiment had another effect.
Letters - Carl Allen wasn't content to keep his experiences to himself and wrote to astronomer Morris K. Jessup.
New investigations - Fascinated by the stories, Morris K. Jessup began new investigations that revealed some surprising things.
Mysterious death - But before he could share the supposed findings, he was discovered dead in his car.
Causes of death - The cause of death was officially ruled as if he had killed himself, but some claim he was murdered to keep him quiet. Could it be?
Revelation - But in 1969, Carl Allen tried putting an end to the story, publicly stating that it was all a hoax.
Revelation - The bombastic revelation was made in the office of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization in Arizona.
Movie inspiration - The story served as inspiration for the film, 'The Philadelphia Experiment,' released in 1984. Years after its release, the film caused a new controversy.
A new beginning? - Alfred Bielek appeared with a new testimony, claiming that the film made him remember living through the experience. According to Alfred Bielek, they weren't just transported to another place, they also traveled through time.
Extraterrestrial life -
The accumulation of all this energy, according to Bielek, was responsible for opening a portal through which UFOs came to our planet.
Proof? - Alfred Bielek went even further, saying that the US Navy didn't just know about it, but also managed to capture an alien.
Far from the end - Those who don't believe the conspiracy theory refer to objective facts to refute it. For believers, the answers are in the USS Eldrigde itself.
Records - According to records, no strange activity was recorded and there is no record of the destroyer passing through Norfolk.
But is invisibility possible? - There are advanced scientific studies on invisibility that have no direct relation to Einstein's theory.
Airplanes - According to scientists, airplanes can be made invisible to radar, but not to light.
Opinion - So which side are you on? Are you a believer or do you reckon it was just a hoax? And if you had the chance to become invisible or travel through time, would you be brave enough to do it?

Teleportation and the mysterious 'Philadelphia Experiment'
Truth or lies? The American vessel that teleported
CELEBRITY Einstein
Do you believe in alien life? Do you think time travel is possible? If you answered no to either, take a look at this story that supposedly took place in the United Stated during World War II. Imagine being on board a war ship that suddenly disappears into thin air and suddenly reappears somewhere else seconds later. Imagine you haven't just experienced teleportation, but you've time traveled a few years into the future. It may sound like something out of science fiction, but there is a theory that says the U.S. Navy did it.

Alarmist scientists who predicted that the North Pole could be "ice free" this summer as a result of global warming have been embarrassed after it was revealed that Arctic ice has actually grown by around 30 per cent in the year since August 2007.
"This summer's forecast—and unusual early melting events all around the Arctic—serve as a dire warning of how quickly the polar regions are being affected by climate change," adds the article.
As per usual, the reality has failed to match the hype of the climate doomsayers.
According to collated data from the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and the University of Illinois, Arctic ice extent was 30 per cent greater on August 11, 2008 than it was on the August 12, 2007. This is a conservative estimate based on the map projection.
Blue pixels represent increased ice coverage over the North Pole in the year since August 2007.
But what of the Antarctic down south? Figures tell us that ice coverage in the year since August 2007 has grown by nearly one million square kilometers.
A general cooling trend across the planet is now clearly apparent as sunspot activity, the main driver of climate change, dwindles to almost nothing.
As we reported last week, A top observatory that has been measuring sun cycles for over 200 years predicts that global temperatures will drop by two degrees over the next two decades as solar activity grinds to a halt and the planet drastically cools down, potentially heralding the onset of a new ice age.
While the mass media, Al Gore and politicized bodies like the IPCC scaremonger about the perils of global warming and demand the poor and middle class pay CO2 taxes, both hard scientific data and circumstantial evidence points to a clear cooling trend.
How man-made global warming advocates will spin this one remains to be seen – maybe they will just continue to adopt their current tactic by claiming that any geological or weather event whatsoever, be it hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts or floods, temperature increase or decrease, and even a 30 per cent growth of the polar ice cap – is a result of that evil life-giving gas that we exhale – CO2.

Game Boy could have his own Alexa with Mario de Protagonist 20 years later Paperboy is discovered
The mythical Game Boy counted on his day with a huge variety of gadgets as picturesque as a printer, a card reader, photographic camera… and now we also know, more than 20 years later, who studied the possibility of launching an accessory with the That we would have been able to navigate online, send messages to other players, and even receive videos from the Nintendo itself to make known their next releases.
Having an Alexa or SIRI style searches known as Nintendo Pageboy, this device was developed by Eddie Gill together with a team of technicians in Wizard, as reported by the well-known historian of the Liam Robertson video game On your YouTube Game History Secrets channel. He began to work in 1999 and for three years, Nintendo America studied the viability of this accessory, designed to take advantage of the brand new Game Boy Color that at that time dominated the portable consoles market.
Nintendo was impressed by the possibilities that PAGEBOY opened, which, among other options, allowed to send the photos taken with the Game Boy Camera, and even had a search engine Alexa's style or Siri with Mario de protagonist, who You could ask him to look for certain online content. Curious is also the application Game Boy TV, which is irremediably recalls the current Nintendo Direct, because using a radio wave transmission technology, the objective was to connect directly with the players by sending videos of the next novelties of the company Japanese
With an estimated price of 50 dollars, why didn't Paperboy never see the light? The main obstacle was the technology itself radio transmission for which I bet, since this network only existed in very specific areas of the world, as the United States, so the target audience of the Nintendo Pageboy would have been very limited.
I used radio waves, which limited its success around the world Robertson emphasizes in its video that one of the maximum of Game Boy was always his universality, which was a device for everyone, and unfortunately, Pageboy did not honor that motto. So in July 2002 the project was canceled, although Wizard's work was not in the bucket, because in the following years, many of the ideas after pageboy were reflected in other Nintendo projects, such as the possibility of messages with other players In Wii U and 3DS, or the famous Nintendo Direct, as we commented.
Here in 3DGames we already dedicate an article to talk about Game Boy's craziest accessories, with some oddities as a fishing rod. Currently, this Nintendo portable, as well as other retro consoles, enjoy a second life thanks to Homebrew.

Avatar – a world apart
Posted by glitch | Jan 4, 2010 | Action, Sci-Fi | 2 |
It's been over a decade since director James Cameron released the film Titanic. After a long absence of his movies being present in theaters, Cameron returns with the even more epic movie Avatar. Just like George Lucas did with the Star Wars prequels, Cameron waited until technology finally caught up with his vision. In this film he brings us a massive spectacle of special effects in order to tell a story set in the never before seen world of Pandora. On this planet is setting for confrontation between humans and the natives know as Na'vi.
From the beginning we are introduced to the wheel chair bound, ex-marine Jake Sully (played by Sam Worthington), who volunteered to head to Pandora in place of his deceased twin brother. Him having identical DNA two his brother is very convenient since genetically engineered puppets (or Avatars) grown from mixed Na'vi and human cells can be controlled by the specific person from which the DNA was supplied from. These avatars are made to look just like the Na'vi, who are ten foot blue beings. Leading the mission is a private company wanting to mine a precious mineral worth a fortune. Of course violent encounters with the Na'vi have led the company to be armed to the teeth and try the avatars as a type of medium for negotiating with the natives. Down the line it eventually becomes Jake Sully's duty to learn the ways of the Na'vi. Both from cultural lesson given by Grace Augustine (played by Sigourney Weaver in her second collaboration with Cameron since Aliens) and from the Na'vi Neytiri(played by Zoe Saldana) after she integrates him into her Na'vi tribe. As Jake Sully delves deeper into Na'vi society, the more conflicted he becomes over what he is really supposed to do. All of this packaged together with big and explosive battle scenes.
The plot of Avatar is a pretty standard story of a group rising up to fight off invaders,(although there are some aspects of Pandora I won't spoil for you) but just like with Cameron's previous film (Titanic) it is not so much about what the story is but how it is told. Here the emphasis is how the special effects move the story along. Unlike the usual flashy, big blockbuster movies, Avatar uses CGI to enhance all aspects of its being. This is a setting that absolutely required convincing effects in order to be seen at all. The world of Pandora is brought to life in a very seem less manner. It was hard to tell where actual parts of the forest ended and where the computer created images begin. All the beings and creatures looked as real as any prosthetic that could have been used. All together this creates a brightly colored visual contrasted with human actors and that is rarely seen in film.
The special effects also helped to bring out acting performances. This is where Avatar is sharply separated from ego stroking CGI flicks like those of Michael Bay. With new technology; Cameron was able to motion capture facial expressions of the actors playing the CGI created Na'vi characters while they said their lines. It was very vital that these performances came through since most of emotional moments came from the Na'vi roles. Especially those done by Zoe Saldana.
The length of Avatar is a very lengthy two hours and forty minutes. Just like his equally lengthy film Titanic, the long running time is used in order to properly set up the premise and make. Such as the integration of Jake Sully into Na'vi society, which is made more believable by the adequate time that was required. The consequences of action are equally fleshed rather than just pushing forward with the plot.
This particular review of Avatar is of its 3D version. I would say this is the better way to view the film because it truly emerges the viewer into the epic and glowing world of Avatar. The Real D technology far surpasses the 3D you would usually see in amusement park attractions. It did feel like you could reach into the screen and touch the characters. Overall this is a stunning film that should not be missed.

Good review.
filmfantastic	on January 7, 2010 at 12:54 pm
yep, i agree great review, maybe space out your paragraphs abit, but otherwise good, keep up the good work


i have seen this called the Foxes Path and the Goat Path. Does anyone know how easy this path is to find from the Crib Goch North Ridge end? I have seen a few descriptions from Bwlch Y Moch, but none from the North Ridge. I have previously descended the North Ridge into Cwm Glas Mawr when reversing Crib Goch, but wasn't aware of this path at the time.
Reports vary but I would expect a lot of difficulty if you're not very familiar with the cwm (we've never walked that path ourselves).
Peter Hermon describes that path from the Bwlch y Moch end in his book as "...a faint trail, little more than a sheep track but well cairned...", but I've heard other reports of total failure to find it from the other end and subsequent attempts to navigate the pathless terrain. One of the latter gives a grim account of ending up on a traverse of very steep and precarious ground, and that's without the added potential problem of thick mist on the day.
I have descended from North a Ridge into Cwm Glas Mawr previously, but dislike the walk down the road to Nant Peris. I was hoping to use this path to get to Pen y Pass and then the PYG in order to use the Miners' Path to gain access to The Glyders. This would have the advantage of missing out the road and the slog up Elidir Fawr. I have gone up this way several times before and have no burning desire to repeat it.
I was wondering if I would need to traverse around the end of the ridge to find the path, or if there is a descent direct from the ridge. Of course, I could descend the east ridge, but that doesn't greatly appeal.
This topic is of interest to me because I attempted the route several years ago, and failed. That could almost be me that vghikers wrote about above!
Firstly, the name: I have a collection of book references, snippets from articles and web links about the route, half of which call it the Foxes or Foxs Path and the rest call it the Goat Path, so take your pick. Further confusion is caused by there also being a Fox's Path on Cadair Idris.
If you go eastwards from Cwm Glas towards the North Ridge there is a distinctive 'notch' in the ridge to aim for, and while there is no path it is easy walking on grassy terraces. East of the ridge, though, all I found was a faint little sheeps trod (or goats!) that soon disappeared.
However, there was a trip report six years ago http://www.walkingforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=18644.0 that included near its start a photo showing a very clear path at the Bwlch Moch end.
If I can get fit enough, I will hopefully have an attempt on the 3000s next year and will be descending the north ridge into Cwm Glas Mawr. If I make it there I will keep an eye out to see if I can spot the path.
From Pen-y-pas, take the usual path for Bwlch y Moch and take the right-hand fork for Crib Goch. At grid ref SH 62886 55225, take a feint path off to the right and head for a distinct outcrop on the skyline ahead for the start of north ridge approach to Crib Goch.
Thanks Glyno. I am going to be descending the North Ridge, so want to find the path fr9m the opposite end so that I can return to Pen Y Pass. Do you have any hints for this direction?
This is a screenshot from a tracklog, may be of help?
May I be the first to thank you for your information, Glyno. The route on the map you posted shows what I expected from your earlier description of it.
All the accounts I read before I attempted it said that you contour around the slopes from the 'notch' on the North Ridge to Bwlch Moch, which I can now see is a bit misleading, for I tried to take a more direct route from one to the other rather than turning sharply back parallel with the ridge.
If I had overcome my nerves and succeeded with my wrong way I would have overshot Bwlch Moch anyway (which wouldn't have hurt, though, for I was headed for Pen-y-Pass).
EDIT: I looked again at the information I had, one of them says the path goes around the mountainside at around the 1,400 feet contour, 427m in today's money, which if you look at the map is quite inaccurate.
Thanks Glyno. That gives me an idea of where the path leaves the ridge. The biggest at the moment is not route finding, but fitness. An Achilles' tendon injury followed by the recurrence of an old back problem has kept me out of action for 4 months.
It looks like it will be quite important to find the correct route. It could be a bit tricky straying off line.
I could be wrong but I think that shot makes it look steeper than it actually is! Certainly steeper than I recall from memory.
Following your comment, I looked at a few other locations I am familiar with on Google Earth. It does appear that some locations can look steeper than they appear on the ground. Even quite close by, the descent from the North Ridge into Cwm Glas Mawr looks more difficult than I remember it. It seems that the magnification and angle selected in GE may distort the perspective.

(Reuters) - New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Wednesday Foreign Minister Winston Peters will travel to Turkey to "confront" comments made by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on the killing of 50 people at mosques in Christchurch.
Erdogan - who is seeking to drum up support for his Islamist-rooted AK Party in March 31 local elections - said on Tuesday Turkey would make the suspected attacker pay if New Zealand did not.
Erdogan has referred to the mosque shootings several times during public gatherings in recent days.
Turkish Presidential Communications Director Fahrettin Altun said comments made by Erdogan on Monday during the commemoration of the 1915 Gallipoli campaign were taken out of context, adding he was responding to the attacker's "manifesto", which was posted online by the attacker and later taken down.
"Turks have always been the most welcoming & gracious hosts to their Anzac visitors," Altun said on Twitter, using the abbreviation for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
During his speech on Monday, Erdogan described the mass shooting as part of a wider attack on Turkey and threatened to send back "in caskets" anyone who tried to take the battle to Istanbul.
Peters had earlier condemned the airing of footage of the shooting, which he said could endanger New Zealanders abroad.
Australia's ambassador to Turkey would meet with members of Erdogan's government on Wednesday, Morrison said.
Relations between Turkey, New Zealand and Australia have generally been good. Thousands of Australians and New Zealanders travel each year to Turkey for war memorial services.
Just over a century ago, thousands of soldiers from the ANZAC struggled ashore on a narrow beach at Gallipoli during an ill-fated campaign that would claim more than 130,000 lives.
Visitors come to the area to honour their nations' fallen on ANZAC Day every April 25.

2,4-Dichlorphenol ist ein farbloser Feststoff mit einem phenolartigen Geruch, der zur Stoffgruppe der Dichlorphenole gehört.

Beim Erhitzen von 2,4-Dichlorphenol können unter Abspaltung von Chlorwasserstoff niedrig chlorierte Kongenere von polychlorierten Dibenzodioxinen entstehen.

Vorkommen
2,4-Dichlorphenol ist ein Metabolit von Pflanzenschutzmitteln wie Nitrofen, 2,4-Dichlorphenoxyessigsäure und 2,4-Dichlorphenoxypropionsäure.

Eigenschaften
2,4-Dichlorphenol ist ein brennbarer Feststoff, der sich nur sehr wenig in Wasser löst (4,5 g/l). Gut löslich ist die Substanz in unpolaren, organischen Lösungsmitteln (Kohlenwasserstoffen) sowie in Ölen und Fetten. Die farblosen Kristalle besitzen einen Geruch, der an Phenol erinnert.

Verwendung
2,4-Dichlorphenol dient industriell zur Herstellung von Pflanzenschutzmitteln (Herbiziden) wie Bifenox, Chlomethoxyfen, 2,4-D, 2,4-DB, Dichlofenthion, Dichlorprop und Diclofop-methyl, Mottenschutzmitteln für Textilien und als Zusatz für Antimykotika bei Strümpfen und Schuheinlagen. Auch Polyester werden aus 2,4-Dichlorphenol hergestellt.

Sicherheitshinweise
2,4-Dichlorphenol ist brennbar, wobei giftige Gase wie Chlor, Chlorwasserstoff, Phosgen sowie Dioxine entstehen können. Bei der Destillation unter Luftanwesenheit kann das Gemisch explosionsartig reagieren. Die Verbindung ist ätzend und giftig und wird vorwiegend über die Haut resorbiert; es ist davon auszugehen, dass Dämpfe auch über den Atemtrakt aufgenommen werden. Augen, Haut, Schleimhäute und Atemwege werden gereizt bis verätzt. 2,4-Dichlorphenol wirkt wie viele chlorierte Verbindungen toxisch auf das ZNS, die Leber und Nieren. Vergiftungssymptome sind Kopfschmerz, Schwindel, Schwäche, Verwirrtheit, Muskelzuckungen, Tachykardie bis hin zur Bewusstlosigkeit. 1992 führte eine Benetzung von etwa 10 % der Körperoberfläche trotz Spülung mit Wasser und Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen innerhalb von 20 Minuten zum Tod des Betroffenen.

JBB Exclusive: Michael Longoria (@LONGORIASINGS) Shares Insights on His BROADWAY BRICK BY BRICK Album!
As we reported earlier this week, former JERSEY BOYS star and member of The Midtown Men, Michael Longoria released his fantastic solo album, BROADWAY BRICK BY BRICK, along with concerts at Joe's Pub!
BROADWAY BRICK BY BRICK is a masterpiece! If I may quote a line from JERSEY BOYS, "I LOVE THIS RECORD!" So happy to report that Michael's debut album is available on Itunes!
We are so excited to share Michael's JBB Exclusive interview and his many insights about his debut solo album!
Jersey Boys Blog: Great to catch up with you, Michael! Congratulations on your solo album, BROADWAY BRICK BY BRICK!It's truly fantastic, with a great new take on some of the best Broadway songs of all time! Tell us about how this album project began. As a kid growing up, was it always your biggest dream to record a solo album?
Michael Longoria: It has always been a dream of mine to be on the radio with a solo album! This is a dream that I never want to wake from. In July, I started to work with Grammy Award winner John McDaniel on Broadway songs that I grew up listening to. I didn't realize it at the time, but the project was creating itself. I knew I wanted to do a Broadway album, but had no idea it would take on such an emotional and personal message. I started to relate more to the songs that reminded me of HOME. Since I couldn't physically go there, I wondered if I could travel there musically. I grew up singing Mariachi music, so my Latin version The Sound of Music really colors that side of me. The songs became representations of milestones in my life story, Maria from West Side Story represents the moment that the light bulb went of in a 10-year-old Michael's head. Suddenly, I saw myself in the actors in the movie of a Broadway show called West Side Story. The Impossible Dream represents the moment a seventeen-year-old got on a plane after acceptance to NYU and claimed his destiny, boarding pass in hand. For my Jersey Boys song, I recorded my all time favorite, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, to represent the moment I took on the starring role in the Broadway show. Tell Me On a Sunday, for the moment I came home from a Saturday night show at Jersey Boys and got a late phone call from my mother. My grandmother, who I was extremely close to, had been ill so I knew the call was about her. I didn't listen to the message until the following morning, a Sunday. The message from my mother simply said , "Michael, Grandma Juanita is gone." Once the songs chose themselves, I realized that I had created an autobiographic journey using Broadway classics to tell my story.
JBB: Wow, Michael, I love hearing how you told your story through so many great Broadway classics! What about the recording process? How did you go about choosing your arranger & producer? What about that amazing band?
ML: I had previously worked with my recording engineer, Chip Fabrizi, when I co-produced THE MIDTOWN MEN: SIXTIES HITS album. We spent so much duo time on that project that we were looking for something else to do together. When I had the idea for a Latin-infused Broadway pop solo album, he suggested that I reach out to three music producers, one of which was Grammy Award winner Jeffrey Lesser. I figured that wouldn't happen; Lesser has worked with Barbara Streisand and produced several Broadway cast recordings for Jason Robert Brown. I was so pleased to learn that Jeffrey connected to the piece and made time to co-produce and mix BROADWAY BRICK BY BRICK. I brought on Jesse Vargas and Neil Douglas Reilly to orchestrate John McDaniel's arrangements. The band was chosen by John McDaniel and Jesse Vargas chose the players for the orchestra. All of Broadway's BEST musicians who have played in the most iconic musicals past and present. I felt so blessed hearing them play arrangements and orchestrations created for my voice.
JBB: What about the songs? With so many great, timeless Broadway songs, how did you narrow it down to 13 tracks?
ML: I wanted to do 15 or more tracks but we settled on 12 with the 13th being a bonus track…an all-SPANISH version of The Sound Of Music (SONIDO MUSICAL).
JBB: Your awesome voice and the arrangements are spectacular! Right now, my two favorites right now are your renditions of Maria & The Impossible Dream! Do you have one or two special favorites tracks & why?
ML: Thank you! I love those two as well, my current two favorite tracks, which changes daily, are As If We Never Said Goodbye and Over the Rainbow. The Sunset Boulevard song because it represents someone coming back into a life they had taken a break from. I've been singing 60s' music for my entire Broadway career and beyond. My true passion has always been classic Broadway songs, because they taught me how to dream. The Wizard of Oz song because I have always felt connected to Judy Garland's journey as a child singer and as someone wanting to do nothing else but sing. So many have covered that song but I wanted to make my own version that would live on.
JBB: You've done so many great things so far, Michael–You've been on Broadway in Hairspray & JERSEY BOYS–and currently performing and recording with The Midtown Men! How did all of your previous & current entertainment experiences prepare you for this solo recording?
ML: This recording dream has been a long time coming. Every note I sing on this record has been influenced by artists I've listen to, portrayed, or played with on stage. All of my life I've been preparing for this moment. To stand alone and share my heart with the world in song.
JBB: If you could sum it up for JBB readers, Michael: What does BROADWAY BRICK BY BRICK mean to you?
ML: BROADWAY BRICK BY BRICK is a sonic journey home. It tells the story of a little Mariachi boy who chased an impossible dream and found himself in the Big Apple. I wanted a recording time capsule for my voice as well. One that is just me as I am and sound today in my truest form of expression. This album accomplishes that for me while telling the story of how I got from the Barrio to Broadway through music.
The album is now available on ITunes!

For the Ultra Minimalists, Part 1, click here.
Wandering Monks part 1 – The Buddhist monks that travel much of the year throughout Asia are about as minimalist as one can reasonably get. Early Buddhist monks were instructed to own, as based on the Pali Canon, a very simple set of eight items. Things have, of course, changed over time and religious wanderers have changed with it.
Everything thing else was communal or gifted to them, including food.
It should be remembered, these monks were part of a Sangha (intentional community of Buddhists) so there were communal objects for the rainy season when they weren't traveling and there is a long tradition of charity towards holy men that we no longer practice in the West (other than tax exemption for churches and the National Football League).
Wandering Buddhist Monks part 3 – Of course, the world changes and the esoteric lifestyle adapts with it. Modern Buddhist mendicant monks might carry a few extra things in order to live reasonably within the modern world. This becomes a very realistic list for the modern traveler. Over many centuries, it became apparent that being acceptable and able to fit into society in general was an important thing. Good appearance, cleanliness, and preparedness helps one not be a burden on the community. I understand the need to fit-in and remain incognito when appropriate. After all, isn't that what our daily costumes achieve?
Later realists again modified the kit of the wandering Buddhist mendicants in eight types of personal utensils or belongings (adapted, in part from RAHU website, Singapore). There are a total of 8 necessary requisites of the Buddhist monk garments and utensils. I big part of the teachings of the Buddha are concerned with an intentional, non-harmful, and simple life.
Mantle Robe – Traditionally made by the acolyte himself, but may also be a gift.
Sarong (Sabong) – This is a simple, unadorned under garment and is worn 24 hours a day.
Shoulder Scarf – It is a long thick brownish-yellow scarf and regarded as a monk's multipurpose cloth and is generally large enough to use as a blanket in winter. During a long trip or visit, this thick Sangkati can be folded and used as a cushion.
In addition the initial eight things, some items have been added, not just for survival, but for the comfort and convenience as monks might find themselves as guests in a temple, in major cities, suburban settings, or the wilderness.
Three amenities are added for convenience: undershirt, a small bathing loincloth for modesty, and a bath towel. One cannot be filthy in a tight, modern setting.
Bedding – Still considered luxury items for the monk: grass mat, pillow, blanket, mosquito net, and a cushion for sitting.
Necessities for the traveler: hand bag (for carrying all this stuff), handkerchief, knitted hat, palm leaf fan, umbrella (for sun as much as rain), and sandals.
Eating utensils: Dish, Bowl, Spoon & Fork, Hand Towel, A set of Food Trays containing plates and bowls, Tiffin Carrier.
Hygiene and cooking – Drinking water must be cleansed of dirt and germs. This is critical for good health. Water is the only thing a monk can freely ask for or take as needed. In that vein, several other tools are allowed and encouraged: stove, pot for boiling water, mug for hot water/tea, water glass, water jug/bottle, tea kettle, Thermos bottle for ice or hot water as needed.
Toiletries – Buddhist monks should be clean and have pleasant personalities. They need some necessary objects, the same as other people water container, soap, soap container, tooth brush, tooth paste, body towel, tissues, spittoon, medicinals.
Domestic Objects: These items should be available to help monks in case of emergency. lantern or electric lamp, flash light, alarm clock or watch.
The latter list is a very complete list of real essentials. Having a codified list to pack from can be comforting, just like the lists the Boy Scouts still make for High Adventure programs. Looking at a little knowledge gained by our predecessors goes a long way.
Why did I choose the Buddhists specifically for this example? Europeans have our own traditions, just without as much documentation. We're a free-form lot. These folks certainly can sleep rough as need arose on a holy pilgrimage and don't appear to be overburdened with stuff.
Matthew, Mark, and Luke all report that Jesus taught his disciples; "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven".
Coming next – Ultra Minimalists, Part 4 – Modern Minimalism – a re-blog from Joshua Fields Millburn.
Indeed. The people I'm looking at here are an extreme end of a range. e.g., Craftsmen need tools, raw materials, workshops.
Yes. And I would like to live that lightly myself. One thing about monks that you mentioned is that they receive alot of support. Perhaps if todays homeless beggars looked like monks, I would feel better about giving them my spare change. I offered one of them some almonds recently and he very nearly declined.
Excellent series! I've been slowly minimizing for years – a compartment wardrobe with the bare minimum number of items was a notable step – and making do with less has had huge positive effects on my spirit and outlook. I used to feel guilty about all my books, and about my laptop too, and recently my tablet, but as a writer of books and eBooks, I came to see these things as my tools. These are my necessities. But, in the true spirit of minimalism, I do not clutter them (or my head!) with games and time-wasting apps and virtual gunk. Minimalism is relative. It's about the process. And the mindset.

Louis Bull First Nation
They, along with Ermineskin, Montana and Samson Ojibway's, have links to Montana. Below are google earth photos of their capital of Hobbema or Maskwacis. Louis Bull First Nation is one of four Reserves that make up Montana Reserve, which was mainly created for Montana Ojibway's forced to relocate from Montana, to Alberta. Their Reserve covers a land area of 31.55 sq. km. or 12.2 sq. mi. All four Reserves, which are actually just one Reserve, covers a land area of 293.73 sq. km. or 113.4 sq. mi. A land loss supposedly happened in 1901. Canada actually gave land to chief Rocky Boy's subjects. Montana Reserve (it's actually all four Reserves) has strong links to chief Rocky Boy of Montana. His son chief Robert Smallboy (aka A-pit-chi-chiw) was chief of Ermineskin. He was very much like his father or defiant. He was revolted by conditions within his nation and fled his nation with nearly 200 of his Ojibway subjects, in 1968. They took to living in mountains 53.7 miles or 86.4 kilometers west of O'Chiese/Sunchild Reserve. They changed Hobbema's name to Maskwacis (it's pronounced Mask-wa-cheez or Mac-wa-cheez) for good reason. They have to distinguish between Ermineskin's Maskwacis and Samson's Maskwacis. According to a 2016 census, Louis Bull First Nation has an on-Reserve population of 1,177. They have 276 dwellings with 226 lived in. Average household size is 5.2 persons per household. Ojibway Language is spoken at Louis Bull First Nation. According to 2016's census, 215 people speak Corrupted Ojibway Language which is what Lewis and Clark called Cree Language. Montana Reserve has a total on-Reserve population of 7,663 according to 2016's census. Ermineskin 2,457, Louis Bull 1,177, Montana 630 and Samson 3,399. Montana Reserve is one of chief Rocky Boy's many Reservations and Reserves.

He walks through the Gothic Quarter's narrow streets in Barcelona with confidence of the path to pursue. It is the fifth year in a row that Didier leaves his hometown in Belgium to attend a music festival during the spring in this Mediterranean city. Didier studied linguistics and literature at Ghent University, speaks French, English, Dutch, and a bit of German. He is passionate about music, plays the accordion and sometimes performs as a DJ, a career he is willing to follow. Below the photos we will share with you the excerpts of the conversation we had with him on the way to one of the concerts.
Kasia&Fabricio: When you travel, what is important for you about a place?
Didier: it is a very complete experience. When I'm traveling the most important thing for me is the general atmosphere. I'm not really too interested in visiting a particular building or touristic sight, but I do find it significant to be in an area where I feel comfortable. Either being with locals or other travelers, as long as everyone is having a good time and is respectful to each other, I'm a happy person.
K&F: Since you have travelled to different countries for music festivals, what's the importance of music in your life?
D: It is just something that speaks to me at a very basic level. Some people put a very high importance on lyrics, for me music is a very powerful way to communicate. I'm always looking for that experience where an artist or a band really transmits their creative force through their music in a way that connects with me. That is what keeps me coming to music festivals, to have these very singular experiences which I cannot copy back home, sitting in my living room. You are there in the moment, and it either hits you or it doesn't, and that is exciting for me.
K&F: How did you start as a DJ?
When I was still an undergraduate student I would DJ at these alternative nights student organizations would put together; I had a great time doing that. In 2014 I contacted this guy I knew at a bar, which is also a music venue where I had been a few times. I like their philosophy, they are very open to all kinds of different genres and artists, people basically get to do their thing there. I sent them an example of what I like to do as a DJ and we set up a try out session. It is a non-profit organization, it does not pay very well at all, but it is fun to do. DJ'ing is something I would like to find more work in, because I do feel like I can bring something a bit different in the selection of music.
K&F: Could you explain to us how do you use digital media and communicate through it?
D:My compute has a screen reader, a software that allows me to read the text displayed on the screen with a speech synthesizer or braille display. In the first case, the software outputs that information as audio. Another possibility is to transform the text into braille. Then, I can read through a braille display connected to the computer.
K&F: And then, how do you input information into the computer, for example, writing an e-mail? Does the software synthetizes your voice into text?
K&F: In your opinion, which advances do you perceive in city's infrastructures for the blind? Also, which measures would you suggest to facilitate the life of blind people?
D: I think what we need most of all is a general awareness of what makes the life of a blind person harder, basically crosswalks that run crooked, and sidewalks that are cluttered. That's a general idea that can make minute-by-minute navigation a lot easier. European cities still have a ways to go when it comes to things like traffic lights, too. One exciting idea I got to experience in Eugone, Oregon was a talking traffic light, which told you which street you were on, and would tell you when it was safe to cross, as well as giving you an indication on how much time you had left to do so. These are pretty exciting times for the blind, as personal-level technology is opening a lot of doors in the navigational sphere. I don't have a smartphone yet, which is increasingly becoming sillier and sillier, as its GPS functionality would allow me to move around with much more confidence. So I should get on that soon.

donald trump immigration and customs enforcement legal immigrants the new cruelty jim crow trump administration us citizenship and immigration services aclu lawsuit michelle nicoll gutierrez 'intending immigrant' donald trump immigration policy
Trump's Insidious Immigration Fuckery, Part INFINITY!
Yr Wonkette, like other liberal elitists, sometimes indulges in making fun of wingnuts who disparage the arts or quote Shakespeare badly. We really shouldn't say, however, that Republicans lack creativity. They just need the right canvas, like wrecking people's lives. When it comes to inflicting humiliations and privations on groups they disfavor, the right wing is endlessly creative, as any student of Jim Crow history knows. Today, we have two of just the many incredibly creative ways the Trump administration has come up with to tell immigrants their lives and families are entirely subject to the random whims of immigration authorities. The message is simple: We're in power, and we can do to you whatever we want.
Do it Legally So We Can Arrest You
First up, there's this WaPo story about an ACLU lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, accusing two DHS agencies, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) of colluding to use green card interviews as "cruel bait and switch" sting operations to ensnare and deport undocumented migrants who might qualify for permanent residency because they're married -- or otherwise related -- to US citizens. It's a hell of a scam:
The ACLU of Massachusetts is accusing the agencies of conspiring to "trap" unsuspecting immigrants on a path toward legal permanent residency by inviting them to these interviews only for ICE to arrest them there. This happened to at least 17 people in 2018 [...] The ACLU argues this violates their rights to due process and the Immigration Nationality Act, among other things, for detaining the immigrants before they've had a chance to complete the process for seeking legal status.
"The government created this path for them to seek a green card," Matthew Segal, legal director of the ACLU of Massachusetts, told the Associated Press. "The government can't create that path and then arrest folks for following that path."
Ah, but don't you see, the entire administrative and legal apparatus of immigration belongs to people who hate immigrants and want to reduce immigration to zero, so immigration law can be enforced as selectively as the administration wants. ISN'T THAT WHAT OBAMA DID WITH DACA, HUH?
Oh, but just look at the evidence and see what clever thugs these bastards are:
Emails between the agencies released Tuesday show USCIS employees scheduling interviews with certain married couples or other family members around ICE agents' availability. When immigrants and their spouses or family members showed up, USCIS employees would alert ICE. If ICE agents were running late, ICE would ask USCIS to reschedule the interviews to accommodate them.
One ICE agent even explained in an email that whenever possible, USCIS should try not to schedule multiple interviews/arrests for the same day, lest the media notice the agencies were using migrants' attempts to comply with the law as a trap to arrest them.
Just imagine how delighted the ICE Stasi must be at the looks of dismay that come over the people they've fooled. They might even have a betting pool on whether people cry when they're taken into custody. And it's all very moral and justified, you know, because what part of illegal don't you understand?
Have A Valid Tourist Visa? ICE Can Still Fuck You Over.
Then there's the case of Michelle Nicoll Gutierrez of Michoacán, Mexico, also reported by WaPo (if you're paywalled, the story was broken at the Houston Chronicle last week). Gutierrez is one of those folks the Trump administration claimed it had no beef with: she's scrupulously followed the law, using her tourist visa to visit her mother, a naturalized citizen, always returning to her spouse and their business back home. She traveled often, without any incident, until earlier this month, when she was detained at George Bush Intercontinental Airport and deported because La Migra decided she was no tourist but a dangerous "intending immigrant" -- someone bent on overstaying their visa and stealing American jobs, even though she'd never overstayed at any point since 2010.
Nicoll Gutierrez's visa has been permanently revoked and she's been banned from coming into the USA for five years. Why? Because Customs and Border Protection decided she was likely to be a burden on the taxpayers. You see, back in the Before Times in 2016, when the world was laughing at us for letting people like her flout our laws by following them, Nicoll Gutierrez was visiting her mom in Maryland when she was five months pregnant. She experienced complications, and was diagnosed with pre-gestational diabetes. Her doctors told her not to travel, so going back to Mexico wasn't an option.
Nicoll Gutierrez and her mother say they were planning to use savings to pay out-of-pocket for the medical care. But an immigrant group directed them to Maryland Health Connection, the state's health insurance marketplace, where they learned from a navigator that with her valid tourist visa, Nicoll Gutierrez was eligible for Medicaid and CHIP, the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Her son was born in D.C. that December, making him an American citizen. They returned home before the end of the six months her visa allows her to stay.
Under the New Cruelty, that counts as proof she's planning to do welfare fraud, even though she legally qualified for CHIP and Medicaid at the time, so we have to make sure she's punished for doing legal stuff. The Trumpers in WaPo's comments make it very clear she's the worst possible cheat, the sort of person who would use benefits they qualify for, which is only allowed if you're white, run a business, and ideally are also president.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association says it has seen a spike since April in visa application denials citing public-charge grounds at the U.S. Consulate in Juarez, Mexico. That follows a change early this year in the State Department foreign affairs manual, instructing consular officers to consider a wide range of personal attributes and use of public benefits when deciding whether to issue visas.
"It's a big deal. What's being proposed basically turns things on its head regarding what constitutes being inadmissible," said Kathleen Walker, an immigration lawyer in El Paso. "Do we want to send a message discouraging families from seeking medical attention, from feeding their children or seeking immunizations because it might affect legal status? Is that how low we've gone?"
Well, yes. Punishing people for doing legal things Fox News viewers don't like is now official US Government policy. Next we'll look into taking people's kids away if they buy brand name peanut butter with an EBT card. The administration also plans to enact similar restrictions on naturalized citizenship and permanent residency for other immigrants who have been here legally but used services they qualify for, like Head Start.
Sure, maybe once her five-year exclusion is over, Ms. Nicoll Gutierrez can come to visit? Her father-in-law, John Atchley, a former US Foreign Service officer, said he and her mom thought they might sponsor her for legal residency several years ago, before America declared war on her kind, but gave up when lawyers said the wait would be 20 years for someone from Mexico. "We'll be dead by then," he said.
That, by the way, is the "chain migration" Donald Trump wants to end, because it's flooding the US with people from shithole countries. Thank Crom, we are now safe from people who have medical emergencies while sneaking into the USA on a tourist visa, and we can all line up to collect the tax savings of a few thousandths of a cent each, HOORAY!

Rare Map of Cabotia
By PURDY, John, 1818
A MAP OF CABOTIA; Comprehending THE PROVINCES OF UPPER AND LOWER CANADA, NEW-BRUNSWICK, AND NOVA-SCOTIA, WITH BRETON ISLAND, NEWFOUNDLAND, &C. And Including also THE ADJACENT PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES. Compiled from a Great Variety of Original Documents. BY JOHN PURDY…. Improved Edition, with Additions, 1818.
America North America
Author: PURDY, John
Publication place: London
Publisher: No. 53 Fleet Street
Publication date: Oct. 24th 1814. Revised 1818.
Physical description: Large engraved map, dissected and mounted on linen, fine original full wash colour, housed in original slipcase.
Dimensions: 1225 by 1550mm. (48.25 by 61 inches).
Inventory reference: 3027
John Purdy's important, monumental and rare map of Cabotia (Canada) and the northeastern United States. A particularly desirable example, being a hitherto unrecorded second state and featuring original wash colour throughout.
First issued in 1814, Purdy's Cabotia was for its time the largest-scale and most detailed map of the region. It is a tour de force of compilation and synthesis from sources including maps by Cary, Chewitt, Des Barres, Holland, Jefferys, Smythe and others (Malinksi, pp. 86ff)
The map is exceptionally detailed, especially in its treatment of the lands adjacent to the St. Lawrence River, the much-disputed U.S.-Canada boundary, and roads and settlements throughout. One of the more interesting features is the contrast between the narrow "seigneurial" grants reflecting the quasi-feudal system established by the French along the St. Lawrence, and the ten-by-ten-mile townships established by the British after their capture of New France.
The map also includes eight insets, most being larger-scale maps of important regions such as the Maritimes, the St. Lawrence Valley, and the Niagara frontier. Numerous notes offer Purdy's own opinions (regarding for example the "the injudicious application of the name of St. John to three places"); recommendations (e.g., for a light house on Sable Island); and a long biographical note about the eponymous John and Sebastian Cabot. The example offered here is particularly striking, being the only one this writer has encountered in full original color
This example is also remarkable for representing a hitherto unknown second state published with significant alterations in 1818. An unsystematic comparison with the Rumsey's 1814 first edition reveals a number of changes, including an almost complete re-engraving of Ohio; additions in Erie County, Pennsylvania; re-engraving along the river in St. Lawrence County, New York; additional topography in northern Maine; a corrected location for Quako on the north shore of Bay of Fundy and the addition of Quako Ledge; a corrected location of Arbushee on St. George's Bay in Nova Scotia; Lake Tomiscanning on the Ottawa River changed to "Lake Temiscaming or Tomiscanning;" and the River St. Maurice drawn in much greater detail.
The map is free of explicit political or geopolitical commentary, but its initial publication during the War of 1812 and the unusual choice of geographical coverage invite interpretation. The map may have been intended for use by British administrators and war planners, and/or by its commissioners at Ghent for reference during the complicated negotiations. A more provocative interpretation–though this writer has so far found no evidence directly supporting it—is that Purdy was subtly emphasizing the geographic unity of the region and raising the possibility of a "Greater Cabotia" incorporating much of the northeastern United States.
Purdy's map was of sufficient importance that it was reissued in 1821, 1825, 1828 (twice), 1838 and, after the maker's death, in 1850. In the final two states the title was changed to Map of the Vice-Royalty of Canada, the name "Cabotia" apparently no longer useful in selling the map.
John Purdy (1773–1843)
The Dictionary of National Biography has this to say about Purdy: "…hydrographer, the son of a bookseller at Norwich, was born in 1773. He early turned his attention to the study of naval charts and similar subjects. Before 1812 he succeeded De la Rochette as hydrographer to Messrs. Laurie & Whittle, of 53 Fleet Street, London, and in that year published a 'Memoir, descriptive and explanatory, to accompany the New Chart of the Atlantic Ocean,' 4to…. Purdy does not seem to have taken part in hydrographic expeditions himself, and his work consisted in writing works and constructing charts based upon the reports of others; but eventually he became the foremost authority of his time on hydrography. He was mainly instrumental in bringing 'Rennell's Current' before the notice of navigators, and in 1832 Rennell's daughter, Lady Rodd, entrusted to Purdy the editing of his 'Wind and Current Charts'…. He died on 29 Jan. 1843."
In addition to several volumes on navigation, Purdy produced charts and maps covering many parts of the world. "A fairly complete list of Purdy's maps and charts is given in the 'Catalogue of the Map Room of the Royal Geographical Society.' The chief are: a chart of the Atlantic Ocean (1812); a 'map of Cabotia, comprehending the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada,' &c. (1814); a map of the world on Mercator's Projection (1825); The Azores (1831); Jamaica (1834); the Viceroyalty of Canada (1838); Newfoundland (1844). Others published by Findlay, after Purdy's death, include the Indian and Pacific Oceans (1847); St. George's Channel (1850); the coasts of Spain and Portugal (1856). His nephew Isaac published a chart of the coasts of China in 1865." (Albert Frederick Pollard, "John Purdy," in Dictionary of National Biography, vol. 47)

A new collaboration between Peoria, Illinois-based OSF HealthCare and Redox, based in Madison, Wisconsin, will allow the health system to effectively integrate pilot programs and deploy digital health solutions to improve health for OSF HealthCare communities. Redox will serve as an application layer connecting third-party technology solutions to the OSF HealthCare clinical systems.
"Redox has become the gold-standard in health care cloud integration. Beyond the benefits of the platform, we chose Redox because many of the applications we're adopting are already part of the network," said Rob Jennetten, Director Innovation Partnerships, OSF HealthCare.
"This will allow us to accelerate testing and implementation of these next-generation applications. Redox is integral to our digital transformation roadmap."
