  • Geneva from the Cantonal to the Federal Post
    Geneva From the Cantonal To the Federal Post Jean Voruz FRPSL, Switzerland The Royal Philatelic Society London 28 September 2017 Front cover illustration On 1 st October 1849, the cantonal posts are reorganized and the federal post is created. The Geneva cantonal stamps are still valid, but the rate for local letters is increased from 5 to 7 cents. As the "Large Eagle" with a face value of 5c is sold at the promotional price of 4c, additional 3c is required, materialized here by the old newspapers stamp. One of the two covers being known dated on the First Day of the establishment of the Federal Service. 2 Contents Frames 1 - 2 Cantonal Post Local Mail Frame 2 Cantonal Post Distant Mail Frame 3 Cantonal Post Sardinian & French Mail Frame 4 Transition Period Nearest Cent Frames 4 - 6 Transition Period Other Phases Frame 7 Federal Post Local Mail Frame 8 Federal Post Distant Mail Frames 9 - 10 Federal Post Sardinian & French Mail Background Although I started collecting stamps in 1967 like most of my classmates, I really entered the structured philately in 2005. That year I decided to display a few sheets of Genevan covers at the local philatelic society I joined one year before. Supported by my new friends - especially Henri Grand FRPSL who was one of the very best specialists of Geneva - I went further and got my first FIP Large Gold medal at London 2010 for the postal history collection "Geneva Postal Services". Since then the collection received the FIP Grand Prix International at Philakorea 2014 and the FEPA Grand Prix Finlandia 2017.

  • Geneva and CERN
    Welcome to Geneva and CERN The local organizing committee would like to welcome you to Geneva for the Fifth International Workshop on Analogue and Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits for Space Applications “AMICSA 2014”. The workshop is organized by the European Space Agency, ESA and the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN. The year 2014 holds a particular significance for CERN: on 29 September it will be exactly 60 years since the Organization was created. Founded by 12 members in 1954, the CERN laboratory sits astride the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. It was one of Europe's first joint ventures and now has 21 member states. The name CERN is derived from the acronym for the French "Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire", or European Council for Nuclear Research, a provisional body founded in 1952 with the mandate of establishing a world-class fundamental physics research organization in Europe. At that time, pure physics research concentrated on understanding the inside of the atom, hence the word "nuclear". Today, our understanding of matter goes much deeper than the nucleus, and CERN's main area of research is particle physics – the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces acting between them. Because of this, the laboratory operated by CERN is often referred to as the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. Physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light.

  • Huguenot Identity and Protestant Unity in Colonial Massachusetts: the Reverend André Le Mercier and the “Sociable Spirit”
    122 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Summer 2012 Huguenots Fleeing France, 1696 At least 200,000 Huguenots are believed to have fled France in the years surrounding 1685, ending up in places as far afield as North America, the Dutch Republic, England, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, and South Africa. 123 Huguenot Identity and Protestant Unity in Colonial Massachusetts: The Reverend André Le Mercier and the “Sociable Spirit” PAULA WHEELER CARLO Abstract: Numerous researchers have noted that many Huguenots conformed to Anglicanism several decades after their arrival in North America. The situation differed in colonial Massachusetts, where Huguenots typically forged connections with Congregationalists or Presbyterians. This article explores the activities and writings of André Le Mercier (1692- 1764), the last pastor of the Boston French Church, which closed in 1748. Le Mercier was an ardent supporter of Protestant unity, yet he also strove to preserve a strong sense of Huguenot identity. Nevertheless, support for Protestant unity facilitated Huguenot integration into the English-speaking majority, which fostered the demise of French Reformed churches in New England and thereby weakened Huguenot identity. Paula Wheeler Carlo is a professor of history at Nassau Community College and the author of Huguenot Refugees in Colonial New York: Becoming American in the Hudson Valley (Sussex Academic Press, 2005). * * * * * Historical Journal of Massachusetts, Vol. 40 (1/2), Summer 2012 © Institute for Massachusetts Studies, Westfield State University 124 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Summer 2012 The Huguenots were French Protestants who followed the teachings of the religious reformer John Calvin (1509-1564).1 They faced persecution and even death during the French Religious Wars in the second half of the sixteenth century.2 The conclusion of these wars produced the Edict of Nantes (1598), which allowed Protestants to freely practice their religion in specified areas of France.

  • The History of Switzerland Through Its Art and Architecture
    ‘From Caesar to Corbusier’: The history of Switzerland through its art and architecture Instructor: Carla Rachman, [email protected] Introduction At the confluence of three major European cultures, French, German, and Italian, Switzerland is a small country which has managed to gain and guard its independence both politically and culturally. Despite the strength of its powerful neighbors and the great material poverty of a country with little arable land and no natural resources, it has managed to forge a distinct national character combining 4 language groups and two major religions to produce one of the wealthiest and most stable of all nations. Centuries of peaceful coexistence have produced an architectural heritage which is uniquely varied and also uniquely preserved. Not coincidentally, Switzerland also has nearly a thousand museums. Course overview This course covers the history of Switzerland through its art and architecture. It will give a through chronological grounding in the development of the Swiss confederation, from the Roman period to the early twentieth century, setting the country’s development in a wider European context. At the end of the course students should have a wide-ranging knowledge of the major events in Swiss history and a critical appreciation of the way in which they have shaped the built environment of the country and its artistic heritage. They should also have a general grasp of the main currents of Western art from the Romanesque period to the early twentieth century. With these tools, they should be able to better understand and interrogate the visual heritage and culture of their host country and also of other European destinations, as well as their own country of origin.

  • A Dialogue Between Martin Luther and John Calvin
    A Dialogue between Martin Luther and John Calvin The following was originally presented at the John Knox Centre in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2009 as part of the celebrations of the 500th anniversary of John Calvin’s birth. Luther: Guten Abend! Guten Abend! Yes, I am Martin Luther, the Reformer, and this is the first time that I set foot in this city of Geneva. I've come for the anniversary celebrations of my dear brother here, John Calvin. Calvin: Bonjour, Luther. And “bonjour” to all of you who have gathered here this evening. I trust you recognize me from the Calvin portraits and statutes, most of them rather unflattering, I must say. My wife used to tell me I have such a nice smile but well! And indeed, I am the Reformer John Calvin, a Frenchman who ended up becoming a citizen of Geneva, and who made this city into a kind of protestant Rome. Some even call it the City of Calvin, although I do not like this kind of tribute paid to my person. Luther: Well, that may have been the case in the past… but today? Remember the massive arrival of immigrants in the 19th century, mainly from Catholic cantons of the Confederation as well as from Southern Europe? Reformed people became a minority in their own stronghold! That’s why the “Genevois” no longer call their city “the City of Calvin” but—unless they want to put some fault on your shoulders, my dear brother—they just call it the “city at the end of the lake.” Calvin: Sure, though I cannot resist reminding you that the Geneva coat of arms still bears our Reformed motto “Post tenebras lux”—“After the darkness, light.” Even after the popular vote in 1907 to strictly separate Church and State, the citizens of Geneva decided to stick with this motto, something that gives me great pleasure, I must say.
