On December 30, 1644, Jan Baptist van Helmont died - an alchemist, physiologist, physician and mystic from the Spanish Netherlands. One of the most prominent representatives of the "iatrochemists". Sometimes he is considered the "founder of pneumatic chemistry" (gas chemistry at an early stage of research).
He studied at the University of Leuven, traveled to Switzerland, Italy, France, Germany and England.
The choice of the profession of the physician van Helmont was justified by a conversation with the angel Raphael. He attached magical significance to the phenomenon of imagination. Among the works of van Helmont are "De magnetica vulnerum curatione" (1621) and "Ortus medicinae, vel opera et opuscula omnia" (1648).
His son, Franciscus Mercurius van Helmont, was also a mystic and an alchemist, he wrote, in particular, the treatise "Opuscula philosophica" (1690).
----------------- 30 декабря 1644 года умер Жан Батист ван Гельмонт - алхимик, физиолог, врач и мистик из Испанских Нидерландов. Один из виднейших представителей "ятрохимиков". Иногда его считают "основателем пневматической химии" (так называлась химия газов на раннем этапе исследований).
Он обучался в Лёвенском университете, путешествовал по Швейцарии, Италии, Франции, Германии и Англии.
Выбор профессии медика ван Гельмонт обосновывал беседой с ангелом Рафаэлем. Он придавал магическое значение явлению воображения. В числе сочинений ван Гельмонта "De magnetica vulnerum curatione" (1621) и "Ortus medicinae, vel opera et opuscula omnia" (1648).
Его сын, Франциск Меркурий ван Гельмонт (Franciscus Mercurius van Helmont), также был мистиком и алхимиком, он написал, в частности, трактат "Opuscula philosophica" (1690).

Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year.
A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
