  • The Modern Devotion
    The Modern Devotion Confrontation with Reformation and Humanism R.R. Post bron R.R. Post, The Modern Devotion. Confrontation with Reformation and Humanism. E.J. Brill, Leiden 1968. Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/post029mode01_01/colofon.htm © 2008 dbnl / erven R.R. Post IX Preface The book entitled De Moderne Devotie, Geert Groote en zijn stichtingen, which appeared in 1940 in the Patria series and was reprinted in 1950, could not exceed a certain small compass. Without scholarly argument and without the external signs of scholarship, it had to resume briefly what was then accepted in the existing state of research. However, since 1940 and even since 1950, various studies and source publications have appeared which have clarified certain obscure points. The prescribed limitations of this book also rendered difficult any research into the history of the German houses and in particular those of the Münster colloquium, upon which the documents of the Brotherhouse at Hildesheim had thrown some light. A closer examination of old and new sources has led us to realize the necessity for a new book on the Modern Devotion, in which particular attention would be paid to the constantly recurring and often too glibly answered question of the relationship between Modern Devotion and Humanism and the Reformation. Here the facts must speak for themselves. Were the first northern Humanists Brethren of the Common Life or members of the Windesheim Congregation? Had the first German and Dutch Humanists contacts with the Devotionalists or were they moulded by the Brothers? Were the Brothers pioneers in introducing the humanistic requirements in teaching and education? These and similar questions could also be posed concerning the attitude of the Devotionalists towards the Reformation.

  • Primer on Forensic Toxicology
    1 OSAC’s purpose is to strengthen the nation's use of forensic science by providing technical leadership necessary to facilitate the development and promulgation of consensus-based documentary standards and guidelines for forensic science, promoting standards and guidelines that are fit-for-purpose and based on sound scientific principles, promoting the use of OSAC standards and guidelines by accreditation and certification bodies, and establishing and maintaining working relationships with other similar organizations. 2 The six subcommittees of the Chemistry/Instrumental Analysis SAC include Fire Debris and Explosives, Geological Materials, Gunshot Residue, Materials (Trace), Seized Drugs and Toxicology. 3 This resource is intended to provide a brief overview, or the “what”, “why”, “where”, and “how”, of the field of Forensic Toxicology. 4 Toxicology is the study of drugs and chemicals on biological systems. Toxicology relies on information from numerous scientific and social disciplines as well as engineering and statistics. 5 Forensic toxicology deals with the application of toxicology to cases and issues where adverse effects of the use of impairing, toxic and lethal concentrations of drugs have administrative or medicolegal consequences, and where the results are likely to be used in a legal setting. 6 Other career opportunities exist in hospitals, universities, and industry. 7 Paracelsus is often credited with one of the original conceivers of toxicology. Manly Hall, a famous author of the 19th Century called him "the precursor of chemical pharmacology and therapeutics and the most original medical thinker of the sixteenth century.“ A principle tenet of forensic toxicology is that the “dose makes something a poison”. For example, water is generally a safe and essential beverage all living organisms require to live, but if taken in an excessive amount this can interfere with a body’s chemistry and create a toxic environment.

  • Introduction Day To
    Gems of the East - 7 dagen DUTCH BIKETOURS - EMAIL: [email protected] - TELEPHONE +31 (0)24 3244712 - WWW.DUTCH-BIKETOURS.COM Gems of the East 7 days, € 600 Introduction Are you familiar with the east of the Netherlands? With this holiday we would like to present to you three of our favourite towns: Zutphen, Nijmegen and Doesburg. All three have attractive old town centres: very old, welcoming and full of culturally interesting things to see. Moreover, the surrounding countryside is well-loved by cyclists for its diversity: leafy country estates, grand mansions, rivers, farmland, woods... Beautiful rural regions such as Rijk van Nijmegen and Montferland offer gentle inclines. Finally, check out the fine hotels we have selected for you and your mind will be made up. Day to Day Day 1 Arrival in the town of Doetinchem Make your way to Villa Ruimzicht Hotel in Doetinchem. This rather grand hotel stands in a small park on the edge of town. Doetinchem offers a good choice of shops. Day 2 Doetinchem - Nijmegen (Lent) 54 km A varied route through the nature reserves Montferland and Ooijpolder, which partly leads through Germany. In Zeddam you will pass the Grafelijke Torenmolen, the oldest working windmill in the Netherlands. Through the forests and grain fields of the Montferland and past Bergh Castle you cycle unnoticed into Germany. From Elten you are heading for the Rhine, a ferry will take you to Millingen aan de Rijn and the Ooijpolder. The moraine of Nijmegen is getting closer and closer over dikes through beautiful floodplains and villages.
