After all, the trappings and the atmosphere also play an important role in the dining experience. Even the greatest masterpiece needs a stage to unveil its full effect. Nowadays, it seems there’s a constant pressure for everything to become quicker, more convenient and easier all the time. All the more comforting, then, to know that these restaurants and the people behind them exist. Dine with the best and enjoy yourself. Yours, Oliver Berking 2 3 Alta Alta is a veritable classic amongst the Moderns. Despite its somewhat austere appearance, this range of cutlery conveys an almost sensuous feeling of pure pleasure for the eye and also for the hands. The reason is that its chiselled fi nish allows us to experience the beauty of the silver, there is no unneces- sary ornamentation to distract our gaze away from the clarity of the lines. With its simplistic beauty and its taut silhouette, Alta makes us feel that this is the one and only shape that is justifi ed in providing the basic pattern for every contemporary style of cutlery today.

  • Social Discipline, the Ban, and Political Resistance Among Swiss Anabaptists, 1550-1700
    The Limits of Confessionalization: Social Discipline, the Ban, and Political Resistance Among Swiss Anabaptists, 1550-1700 JOHN D. ROTH* Abstract: Although historians have frequently emphasized the political, social, and religious radicalism of the Anabaptist movement, this essay suggests that in the context of seventeenth-century efforts to impose new forms of central state control over villages in the Swiss Cantons of Zurich and Bern, Anabaptism attracted new members in the countryside precisely because it preserved an older, medieval ideal of a Christian community, capable of self-regulation and self-discipline. At a time when the central authorities were seeking to take control of village Chorgerichten (morals courts) as institutions of social discipline, Anabaptists doctrines and practices gained support as a means of preserving the traditional ideal of a “moral community” made up of members whose disciplined lives were pleasing to both God and their neighbors. On the afternoon of September 29, 1614, Hans Landis—a 70-year-old, self-educated farmer from the Swiss hamlet of Horgen—was led in chains to the main moat (Hauptgrube) at the outskirts of Zurich. There, only hours after the city’s Great Council had judged him guilty of “stubborn and seditious rebellion,” he spoke some final words to a hastily assembled crowd, granted the executioner’s request for forgiveness, and knelt before the executioner’s sword.1 By the time of his death, Zurich authorities were well acquainted with the gray-bearded Landis. Some twenty-five years earlier, in 1589, he, along with fourteen other peasants, had been imprisoned in the *John D.

    • Zug (8th) and Basel (10th) rank far ahead of Lausanne (36th), Bern (38th), Zurich (41st), Lugano (53rd), and Geneva (69th) in the Expat City Ranking 2019. • Based on the ranking, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, Montréal, Lisbon, Barcelona, Zug, The Hague, and Basel are the best cities to move to in 2020. • Kuwait City (82nd), Rome, Milan, Lagos (Nigeria), Paris, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Lima, New York City, and Yangon (73rd) are the world’s worst cities. Munich, 3 December 2019 — Seven Swiss cities are featured in the Expat City Ranking 2019 by InterNations, the world’s largest expat community with more than 3.5 million members. They all rank among the top 20 in the world for the quality of life, receiving mostly high marks for safety, local transportation, and the environment. On the other hand, expats struggle to get settled, with Zurich and Bern even ranking among the world’s worst cities in this regard. While the local cost of living is rated negatively across the board, the performance of the Swiss cities varies more in the Finance & Housing and Urban Work Life Indices. The Expat City Ranking is based on the annual Expat Insider survey by InterNations, which is with more than 20,000 respondents in 2019 one of the most extensive surveys about living and working abroad. In 2019, 82 cities around the globe are analyzed in the survey, offering in-depth information about five areas of expat life: Quality of Urban Living, Getting Settled, Urban Work Life, Finance & Housing, and Local Cost of Living.

  • Mobility-Go Genf Basel
    MEDIENMITTEILUNG Rotkreuz, 02 December 2020 Mobility Go: stop in Geneva, ongoing operation in Basel While the free-floating scheme Mobility Go offers promising prospects in Basel and will continue to operate there, it will be discontinued in Geneva at the end of 2020. The reason for this is the lack of demand, which has continued to decline as a result of COVID-19. Mobility will invest the funds it saves in this way to expand its electric mobility programme. The free-floating scheme Mobility Go allows vehicles to be located and booked in real time and then parked in a public parking space at the end of the journey. This spontaneous form of car sharing has been available to users in Basel since 2014, while in Geneva it was introduced four years ago. But Mobility will be closing down the programme in Geneva at the end of this year, says Managing Director Roland Lötscher: “Mobility Go was not profitable in Geneva – and would not have been in the foresee- able future. As an SME and a cooperative, we have to invest intelligently and sustainably. That’s why we have decided to put an end to the scheme in Geneva – though it hasn’t been an easy decision.” COVID-19 has been a key factor here: while classic, station-based car sharing in Geneva (123 vehicles at 41 locations) was able to recover quickly after the lockdown in spring, the already fragile figures for usage of Mobility Go continued to decline. This was particularly due to the loss of the popular commuter trips.

  • ESP Advanced Training Centre for Nephropathology Basel, Switzerland
    ESP Advanced Training Centre for Nephropathology Basel, Switzerland University Hospital Basel Institute of Pathology Schönbeinstrasse 40 CH-4031 Basel Switzerland Prof. Dr. Markus Tolnay (head of the institute) PD Dr. Helmut Hopfer (head of training program in nephropathology) Many renal biopsies in Europe, both native kidney and kidney transplants, are processed and signed out by specialists as they require a technical work-up (light microscopy, immunofluorescence or immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy) not available at many institutes and a deep knowledge of renal pathology. In many European countries, there is an obvious need for more pathologists familiar with nephropathology. The Institute of Pathology at the University Hospital Basel has a long track record in the field and is very active in training renal pathologists as well as in organizing continuing medical education in nephropathology (e.g. nephropathology working group of the ESP, Basel Seminars in Pathology: Renal Transplant Pathology, Hands-on Courses). We sign out approximately 750 renal biopsies per year (around two thirds are from native kidneys). All necessary techniques are established at the Institute. We have a close collaboration with our clinical colleagues with regular clinicopathological conferences. Our Institute will offer 3 months modules (basic, advanced, electron microscopy) which will be based on the daily routine as well as consultation cases and cases from the archive. Teaching languages are German or English, a good knowledge in either of the two languages is a prerequisite. Training periods can start at the beginning of every month as arranged with the fellow. We will be able to offer a maximum of two positions per year.
