  • Great Powers and the Straits: from Lausanne to Montreux
    1994] great poers and the straıts 57 GREAT POWERS AND THE STRAITS: FROM LAUSANNE TO MONTREUX MENSUR AKGÜN Since the bcginning of the 19th century, the territories of the Ottoman Empire have been a bone of contention for the Great Powers. The so-called "sick man of Europc" had occupied the thoughts of numerous statesmen in Europe. The Balkans attracted the Russians and Austrians while Egypt and the Levant had always whetted British and French appetites. But the rifts existing among those povvers and the diplomatic maneuvers of the Porte saved the Empire from annihilation. If the Porte had any capacity to manipulate the outcome of events, it was indeed, as Ahmet Şükrü Esmer (1947) aptly claimed, grounded on the question of the Straits. The Straits were the main barrier before Russian encroachment into the Eastern Mcditerrancan and thus into the Middle East. Despite their rclative distance from the Straits, the British had suspected that the Russians vvould expand at their expense in the Middle East. They decided to prevent a majör rival from getting a foothold in the region. This policy had rather coincided vvith Turkish interests until the end of the century vvhen a nevv threat, Germany, superseded Russia in the eyes of the British. Britain bccamc vvhat Mathisen called (1971: 140) an "acquisitive friend of the Turks". It obtained Cyprus at the Berlin Conference in 1878, and occupied Egypt in 1882. British interests clashed vvith Turkish strategic interests until the mid-1930s. For several years after the First World War, neither the Soviet Union, nor Germany vvere able to gather sufficient strength to threaten British interests.

  • Typical Weather Situations in the Alps
    Typical Weather Situations in the Alps Kantonsschule Enge Zürich Immersive Geography by Klaus Burri Climatology and Meteorology Weather Situations in Switzerland 1. Clouds and Precipitation Uplifting air masses cool off, hence can bear less humidity, and hence precipitate [= ausfällen] humidity as small water droplets. Being very small at the beginning, they are carried by updraft and thus float through the air. If they are dense enough, we see these little waterdrops as mist [= Dunst wegen zu hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit] or clouds. Still, it does not yet rain, snow or hail. In order to do so, the air masses must be cooled off more: The process of cooling must con- tinue. If not, the clouds will stop evolving and will collapse. To structure the immense number of various clouds, they are struc- tured by different criteria, such as height, convectivity [= Konvek- tivität], shape, to name only a few. Please read carefully in your geography books: GGCH, pp. 301–303; AGG, p. 156 («Rainfall Pat- terns»), p. 158 («Types of Rainfall») and pp. 163/64 («Clouds and Fog»). Reading these passages, you will learn about three types of rainfall, i.e. three possibilities how air masses cool off: convectionally (in- tense radiation is needed), frontally or cyclonically (two air masses with different temperatures are needed) and finally orographically (mountainous terrain is needed). Convectional Type of Precipitation Heated air rises in warm air bubbles and, there- fore, cools down. Frontal Type of Precipitation Warm air flows over cold air, ascends and, the- refore, cools down. Orographical Type of Precipitation Air flows over a mountain range, ascends and, therefore, cools down.

  • School Transport
    School transport With an optic based on the sustainable development in partnership with the local neighborhood our idea aims to encourage another approach for the journey to and from school and to increase your awareness of using other forms of transport, such as the bus, train, bikes, walking to school instead of coming by car everyday. This will also reduce congestion and keep the area around the school safer. So as to reach this objective, a wider spread bus service will be available to ensure the transport of your child (children) to and from school. How to get to Riviera School ? a) School Bus For the new school year, we can offer you three different bus lines. All the journey are carried out with the school mini buses, all safety requirements are adhered to and they are driven by approved drivers. The buses drop off the children at the Bon-Port car park and the children are accompanied to school by an adult. The times and collection points are as follows: Bus 1 Bus 2 Bus 3 Châtel St-Denis Vevey Noville Blonay – Village La Tour de Peilz Rennaz Saint – Légier Clarens Villeneuve Chailly-sur-Montreux Montreux Veytaux For all other points of departure, please do not hesitate in contacting us. To inscribe, please complete and send the attached form. Bus Costs We have split the bus collection points into 3 different zones, depending upon the point of collection: Zone 1 (up to 5km from the school): CHF 4.- (one way) or CHF 7.- (round trip) : - CHF 247.-/term (one way); the annual fee is CHF 740.- - CHF 435.-/term (round trip); the annual fee is CHF 1'295.- Zone 2 (up to 10km from the school): CHF 7.- (one way) or CHF 13.- (round trip): - CHF 430.-/term (one way); the annual fee is CHF 1'290.- - CHF 800.-/term (round trip); the annual fee is CHF 2'400.- Zone 3 (more than 10km from the school): CHF 9.- (one way) or CHF 16.- (round trip) : - CHF 555.-/term (one way); the annual fee is: CHF 1'665.- - CHF 985.-/term (round trip); the annual fee is: CHF 2'960.- The above-mentioned prices will decrease according to the number of children travelling with each family.
