The city has set itself far-reaching targets in important areas as far as sustainable development is concerned. To achieve these aims, Zurich intends to continue unflinchingly down the path it has chosen, and this includes regularly analysing what has already been achieved. How can this be measured however? How can one possibly gauge sustainable or non- sustainable development? Clearly one single indicator is not enough, and it is also evident that it is not just a question of the environment.

  • Compte-Rendu De La Seance Du Conseil Intercommunal Du 9 Decembre 2020
    Conseil communal COMPTE-RENDU DE LA SEANCE DU CONSEIL INTERCOMMUNAL DU 9 DECEMBRE 2020 2 postes étant à repourvoir au Codir Mme Elvira Rölli, municipale à Arzier-Le Muids a fait acte de candidature. La question a été posée de savoir s’il était opportun de le faire seulement 6 mois avant la fin de la législature. Le Codir n’y voyant pas d’inconvénient, Mme Rölli a été élue . Elle sera ainsi la 2ème femme du Codir sur 9 membres. Budget 2021 La situation financière de la Région de Nyon est assez tendue. Le budget présentait un déficit de chf 59'500.- - . Deux amendements proposés par la Cofin et approuvés par le Codir ont ramené ce déficit à chf. 7'500.- - . Il n’a pas suscité de discussions particulières et a été approuvé à une large majorité. Demande de crédit pour une convention quadriennale en soutien des activités de l’Usine à Gaz, période 2021-2024 Il s’agissait du renouvellement d’une convention existante. Les montants alloués chaque année sont progressifs afin de tenir compte à la fois de la diminution des spectacles en raison du Covid-19 et du fait que les travaux ne sont pas terminés. Un amendement demandant d’augmenter la part de la région (entre chf 70'000.- - et chf 100'000.- -) de chf 20'000.- - a été déposé mais refusé. La convention a par contre été acceptée à une large majorité. Postulat de Michel Girardet pour la mise en place d’une véritable politique de soutien au sport au niveau régional La réponse du Codir était une véritable coquille vide sans aucune proposition concrète.

  • Bernese Anabaptist History: a Short Chronological Outline (Jura Infos in Blue!)
    Bernese Anabaptist History: a short chronological outline (Jura infos in blue!) 1525ff Throughout Europe: Emergence of various Anabaptist groups from a radical reformation context. Gradual diversification and development in different directions: Swiss Brethren (Switzerland, Germany, France, Austria), Hutterites (Moravia), Mennonites [Doopsgezinde] (Netherlands, Northern Germany), etc. First appearance of Anabaptists in Bern soon after 1525. Anabaptists emphasized increasingly: Freedom of choice concerning beliefs and church membership: Rejection of infant baptism, and practice of “believers baptism” (baptism upon confession of faith) Founding of congregations independent of civil authority Refusal to swear oaths and to do military service “Fruits of repentance”—visible evidence of beliefs 1528 Coinciding with the establishment of the Reformation in Bern, a systematic persecution of Anabaptists begins, which leads to their flight and migration into rural areas. Immediate execution ordered for re-baptized Anabaptists who will not recant (Jan. 1528). 1529 First executions in Bern (Hans Seckler and Hans Treyer from Lausen [Basel] and Heini Seiler from Aarau) 1530 First execution of a native Bernese Anabaptist: Konrad Eichacher of Steffisburg. 1531 After a first official 3-day Disputation in Bern with reformed theologians, well-known and successful Anabaptist minister Hans Pfistermeyer recants. New mandate moderates punishment to banishment rather than immediate execution. An expelled person who returns faces first dunking, and if returning a second time, death by drowning . 1532 Anabaptist and Reformed theologians meet for several days in Zofingen: Second Disputation. Both sides declare a victory. 1533 Further temporary moderation of anti-Anabaptist measures: Anabaptists who keep quiet are tolerated, and even if they do not, they no longer face banishment, dunking or execution, but are imprisoned for life at their own expense.
