# Blocher family

The Blocher family is a Swiss business and political family hailing from Leidringen in Baden-Württemberg. The arm of Christoph Blocher made a significant fortune in chemicals through EMS-Chemie, and associated firms. The fortune of the family is estimated at 15–16 billion Swiss Francs (approximately $17–18 billion in 2025).

## History

The progenitor of the Swiss Blocher family was Johann Georg Blocher (1811–1899), who hailed from Leidringen in the Kingdom of Württemberg. He received a pedagogical education at a teachers seminary in Beuggen near Rheinfelden which followed the principles of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi. The seminary was financed by the local church and clergy often sent teachers to financially destitute regions who could not afford teachers for their people. He has pioneered education and led several educational institutions in the Bernese Alps, Zürcher Oberland and Baselland.
On 21 October 1861, the municipal council of Schattenhalb, voted for the naturalization of Johann Georg Blocher and his family. For the grant of citizenship, Blocher had to pay 900 Swiss Francs (roughly $25,000 in 2025), which was three years worth of salary of a teacher at the time.

# Torservers.net

torservers.net is an independent network of non-profit organisations that provide nodes to the Tor anonymity network. The network was started in June 2010 by German privacy activist and advocate Moritz Bartl and currently transfers up to 7.4 GB/s (~59.2 Gb/s) of exit node traffic as of May 2022.
Torservers.net is known for operating servers with high network bandwidth and running them as exit nodes in the Tor network, which helps increase its speed and capacity. The group additionally helps provide lawyers for relay operators along with arranging operator meetups.

## Funding

While Tor is free software that anyone can run, successful operation of Tor nodes may require technical expertise, access to high-bandwidth, and can involve legal complications in some jurisdictions. The Torservers.net network accepts financial donations as a way to sponsor additional nodes.

## Bavarian Raid

On June 20, 2018, Bavarian police raided the home of the board members of the German non-profit Zwiebelfreunde, "Friends of the Onion," (part of torservers.net). Zwiebelfreunde helps collect donations from Europe for various non-commercial providers such as Riseup.net.
The police claim the raid was prompted by a blog post from an unrelated activist that promised violence against an upcoming Alternative for Germany convention in Augsburg. The blog post was published on a website that used a Riseup.net e-mail address. Riseup Collective is based in Seattle in the United States, and reported publicly that Zwiebelfreunde does not run its service.
On August 23 the German court at Landgericht München ruled that the raid and seizures was illegal. The hardware and documentation seized had been kept under seal, and purportedly were neither analyzed nor evaluated by the Bavarian police.

# Freddy Jones

Frederick Nelson Jones (F N Jones) (4 May 1881 – 29 August 1962) was a New Zealand saddler, photographer, amusement park owner and inventor. Jones was most well known for his journalistic photographs, and he recorded important Nelson civic events from the early 1900s to 1935. He is also known as the creator of the popular attraction Pixietown, or Pixie Town, which toured internationally.

## Early life

Jones was born on 4 May 1881. His father, also named Frederick Nelson Jones, was a saddler. His mother's name was Emeline Sophia Jones. Once Jones had finished school he worked for his father as a saddler. In 1904, he sold 1, 500 prints from the three glass plate negatives he took of the burning of Nelson College. After this, his photography business flourished and he was able to buy land and start a studio. Jones was nicknamed "Pompy" and he was often seen on a three-legged ladder used to take photographs from above the crowds.

## Pixietown

In 1921 Jones retired from photography to focus on his other endeavours such as his Magic Cave and Pixie Town creations. The Magic Cave and Pixietown consisted of a number of elaborate scenes with automated "pixies". The pixies were handcarved from wood, and animated through a series of hidden belts and pulleys. The scenes were displayed first in 1933, and were so popular they were soon touring in New Zealand and overseas and displayed at a number of department stores, including the DIC in Dunedin. When Pixietown visited Christchurch for the first time in 1949 for the New Zealand Industries Fair, nearly 28,000 people viewed it. At that time the display consisted of five scenes, including a mathematics schoolroom, a donkey causing a traffic jam, a music box and an organ-player, a boat-yard with a submarine, and a domestic wash-day. Each scene had approximately 100 pixie figures. The DIC acquired some scenes when the cost of touring made Pixietown uneconomic, and when the DIC closed in 1991 some of the displays were bought by the Otago Settlers Association. Since 2004 they have been displayed annually at Toitū Otago Settlers Museum at Christmas time.

## Personal life

In 1910 Jones married Ivy Florence Dougan. The two bore no children but opened an amusement park in Haven Road called Coney Park in 1921.

## Death

Jones died on 29 August 1962 at age 76. Approximately 5,000 photographic negatives are held by the Nelson Provincial Museum and a further 5,000 to 8,000 images are held at the Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington. Jones is buried in the Wakapuaka Cemetery, Nelson.
# American College of Medical Practice Executives

The American College of Medical Practice Executives (ACMPE), established in 1956, supports and promotes the personal and professional growth of leaders to advance the medical practice management profession and is the certification and standard-setting body of the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA). Both are headquartered in Englewood, Colo. Nearly 6,000 members strong, ACMPE developed the standard-setting Body of Knowledge for Medical Practice Management. It grants nationally recognized certification and fellowship designations to the most accomplished medical practice executives and leaders in the profession.
Members of the ACMPE may obtain recognition for their knowledge and experience by becoming Certified Medical Practice Executives (CMPE) or a Fellow of the American College of Medical Practice Executives (FACMPE). Certification (CMPE) requires candidates who have the requisite two years of relevant experience to demonstrate their proficiency through objective and essay examinations and presentations that include content from the Body of Knowledge for Medical Practice Management. Fellowship (FACMPE) requires the submission of a professional paper or series of case studies by members who have already earned the CMPE designation. Both the CMPE and FACMPE status require the maintenance of continuing education credit hours.

## MGMA

The Medical Group Management Association defines and advances the medical practice management profession and advocates on its behalf. Its resources help the American College of Medical Practice Executives support and promote the professional growth of leaders.
