Here’s how we’re doing it. Our more than 55 local offices work tirelessly with our partners behind the scenes. A&K’s local staff have longstanding relationships with our suppliers, including restaurants, hotels, boats, transportation providers and venues. These partners know our exacting standards and have been fully vetted by our staff to make sure they comply with all local regulations regarding health and hygiene.

We’re committed to facilitating physical distancing. A&K’s small-group journeys are already well-suited to exploring with safe physical distancing in place: Your transfers are private, for example, and your vehicles are never more than half full.

Personal protective equipment helps you travel safely. We require all guests on Small Group Journeys to wear a mask in vehicles, indoor spaces, and any outdoor spaces where physical distancing is not possible. We encourage you to bring your own masks; a supply will be on hand where required. All guides and staff follow rigorous health and safety procedures.

    The 11 historic fountains of Solothurn Fountains, in which women used to wash their clothes, can be found in every place. However, it is hardly impossible to find a place where the fountains are as grandly built as they are in Solothurn. They reflect the wealth that the French ambassadors brought into the city. “Solothurn allegedly attempted to increase the number of its fountains to 11. As a result, it became, in proportion to its size, the city with the most fountains in Switzerland”, writes Fritz Wyss in his book “Die Stadt Solothurn”. Most of the fountains were built in the 16th century. By the way: Bern, too, has 11 monumental fountains in the old city. In Solothurn water flows in many other fountains, too. In “Brunnen der Stadt Solothurn”, Adele Tatarinoff lists about fifty of them. To name but a few: the Kollegiumsbrunnen (college fountain) of 1676, the Franziskanerbrunnen (Franciscan fountain) situated south of the Franciscan church and dating from around 1759, the Pisonibrünnlein (little Pisoni fountain) (1774) next to the St. Urs tower, the Schmiedengassebrunnen (blacksmith’s alley fountain) of 1796, the Landhausbrünnlein (little Landhaus fountain) (1888) or the fountain outside of the Basel gate (1781, it was moved to its present site in 1972). The city also created fountain systems in today’s time such as the one at the vocational school (1955), the Kosciuszko fountain (1967) by the artist Schang Hutter at the Soba bank or the Heilbronn fountain (1982) at the Städtische Werke. However, the above mentioned fountains do not have the monumental size of the other 11 ones.

Anthocyanins were determined by HPLC-UV/VIS PDA analysis and the colour of fruit flesh and skin was measured by tristimulus colourimeter (CIELAB system). The major anthocyanins in all ecotypes at all stages of maturity were cyanidin 3-glucosylrutinoside and cyanidin 3-rutinoside, whereas pelargonidin glycosides were de- termined in lower concentrations. During ripening, anthocyanins did not change uni- formly, but in most ecotypes they were determined in higher concentrations at the last stage of maturity (3.18 to 19.75 g per kg of dry matter). The formation of dark red, almost black colour in ripe Marasca cherries decreased redness (a*), brightness (L*) and colour intensity (C*). The results of two-way ANOVA test indicated that the growing region sig- nificantly influenced the accumulation of individual anthocyanins and L* value during ripening, while ecotype and the interaction between the growing region and the ecotype significantly affected total anthocyanin content of sour cherry.

    Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25

    Title: Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25 Introduction The UCS contains symbols for the game of chess in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. These are used in figurine notation, a common variation on algebraic notation in which pieces are represented in running text using the same symbols as are found in diagrams. While the symbols already encoded in Unicode are sufficient for use in the orthodox game, they are insufficient for many chess problems and variant games, which make use of extended sets. 1. Fairy chess problems The presentation of chess positions as puzzles to be solved predates the existence of the modern game, dating back to the mansūbāt composed for shatranj, the Muslim predecessor of chess. In modern chess problems, a position is provided along with a stipulation such as “white to move and mate in two”, and the solver is tasked with finding a move (called a “key”) that satisfies the stipulation regardless of a hypothetical opposing player’s moves in response. These solutions are given in the same notation as lines of play in over-the-board games: typically algebraic notation, using abbreviations for the names of pieces, or figurine algebraic notation. Problem composers have not limited themselves to the materials of the conventional game, but have experimented with different board sizes and geometries, altered rules, goals other than checkmate, and different pieces. Problems that diverge from the standard game comprise a genre called “fairy chess”. Thomas Rayner Dawson, known as the “father of fairy chess”, pop- ularized the genre in the early 20th century.

September 2018 Adressaten: Bundesamt für Kultur BAK Sektion Heimatschutz und Denkmalpflege Hallwylstrasse 15 3003 Bern Stadt Bern Präsidialdirektion Denkmalpflege Junkerngasse 47 Postfach 3000 Bern 8 Referenz/Aktenzeichen 262.561 1 Anlass der Begutachtung Mit Schreiben vom 19. Dezember 2017 hat die Denkmalpflege der Stadt Bern die Eidgenössische Kommission für Denkmalpflege (EKD) um ein Gutachten im Zusammenhang mit dem Welttelegrafen- Denkmal und dem Bubenberg-Denkmal ersucht. Beide Denkmäler sind – wenn auch aus unterschied- lichen Gründen – in Bezug auf ihren Standort, möglicherweise auch in Bezug auf ihre Substanz, infra- ge gestellt. Da es sich um zwei verschiedene Denkmäler und ungleiche Ausgangslagen handelt, hat die Kommission entschieden, die Anfrage in zwei separaten Gutachten zu behandeln. Das vorliegen- de Gutachten behandelt das 1897 von Max Leu geschaffene Bronzestandbild des Staatsmannes und Verteidigers von Murten, Adrian von Bubenberg (um 1434–1479), mitsamt seinem städtebaulichen Kontext. Im Zusammenhang mit dem Ausbau des Bahnhofs Bern will die Stadt bis 2025 umfangreiche Anpas- sungen am Verkehrssystem rund um den Bahnhof vornehmen. Einen bedeutenden städtebaulichen Eingriff würde die neue Fussgängerunterführung unter dem Bubenbergplatz darstellen, deren Aus- gang im Bereich des Bubenberg-Denkmals zu liegen kommen soll und dessen Versetzung notwendig machen würde. Im Zuge des Bahnhofausbaus prüft der Gemeinderat, die Veloparkplätze massiv aus- zubauen; unter dem Hirschengraben soll möglicherweise eine mit der Passage verbundene Velostati- on realisiert werden.
