Opera, chanson, jazz: the canton of Vaud has music in its blood. Led by the Montreux Jazz Festival and Paleo Festival in Nyon, there are countless music events mostly during the warm season. The Cully Jazz Festival kicks off the music season in spring, opening the winegrowers’ cellars to jazz virtuosos. The magnificent Roman arenas of Avenches vibrate to the sounds of the Opera Festival, the Rock Oz’Arènes and then to Avenches Tattoo, a unique event in French-speaking Switzerland. As the headquarters of the IOC and many sports organisations, the canton of Vaud provides the setting for prestigious sports events such as Athletissima in Lausanne or winter sports competitions in the resorts of the Vaudois Alps. On the more unusual side, Château-d’Oex welcomes hundreds of hot-air balloons in January during the International Hot-Air Balloon Festival. Dancing in Lausanne with the Béjart Ballet, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, enjoying nature in Morges with the Tulip Festival, and taking in the magic of Montreux Christmas: all-year-round celebrations to suit all tastes.

Bogner , B. Hingray and A. Musy Swiss Federal Institute of Technology - Lausanne, ENAC-HYDRAM, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland ([email protected]) Abstract: Although the inherent uncertainty associated with rainfall-runoff processes is well known, most mathematical models of such systems are completely deterministic in nature. Stochastic modelling requires that the uncertainty, which is associated with both the model parameters and the stochastic inputs, should be quantified in some manner as an inherent part of the modelling analysis. To achieve these objectives, a Data-based mechanistic (DBM) modelling approach will be tested for the Jura lake system (Switzerland).

  • Eboulement De Derborence Il Habite Là-Haut, Sur Le Glacier, Avec Sa Femme Et Ses Enfants
    Les Diablerets, maison du Diable Eboulement de Derborence Il habite là-haut, sur le glacier, avec sa femme et ses enfants. [...] Alors il arrive des fois qu’il s’ennuie et il dit à ses diabletons: > «Prenez des palets». C’est là où il y a la Quille, tu sais bien, Der Bergsturz von Derborence - The Derborence landslide justement la quille du Diable, et c’est un jeu qu’ils font. Ils visent la quille avec leurs palets. [...] Seulement il arrive des fois aux palets de manquer la quille et tu devines où elles vont, leurs munitions. Qu’est-ce qu’il y a après le bord du glacier, hein? TEMPS Plus rien, c’est le trou.

Und weisst du, wo sie dann spielen? 1714 Genau, an der Quille du Diable. Sie zielen auf ihre Kegel [...] Nur 154-135 passiert es manchmal, dass sie ihr Ziel verfehlen. Und kannst du erraten, wohin dann die Geschosse geschleudert werden? Was ist millions d’années denn am Rand des Gletschers? Natürlich nichts mehr – es geht in Millionen Jahre den Abgrund.

By BUNNELL LEWIS, M.A., F.S.A. Many persons, well-informed in other respects, think that there are no Boman antiquities in Switzerland. This mistake results from various causes. Most people travel there to enjoy the scenery, and recruit their health. The Bomans have not left behind them in that country vast monuments of their power, like the temples, theatres and aqueducts, which in regions farther south are still to be seen ; but, speaking generally, we must be content with smaller objects stored in museums, sometimes unprovided with catalogues.1 Moreover, no English writer, as far as I know, has discussed this subject at any length; attention has been directed almost exclusively to pie-historic remains made known by Dr. Keller's book on Bfahlbauten (lake- dwellings), of which an excellent translation has been published.2 However, I hope to show that the classical antiquities of Switzerland, though inferior to those of some other countries, ought not to be passed over with contemptuous neglect, and that they deserve study quite as much as similar relics of the olden time in Britain, 1 A very good account of the Collections 2 Dr.

  • How Reliable Is the <Superscript>210 </Superscript>Pb Dating Method
    Journal of Paleolimnotogy 9: t61-t78, 1993. © 1993 K&wer Academic Publishers. Prinwd in Belgium. 161 How reliable is the 21°Pb dating method? Old and new results from Switzerland* H. R. von Gunten ~ & R. N. Moser Laboratorium fiir Radiochemie, UniversMit Bern, CH-3000 Bern 9, Switzerland," 1Paul Scherrer lnstitut, CIt-5232 Viltigen PSL Switzerland Received 27 January 1992; accepted 21 May I993 Key words: 2~°Pb dating, geochronology, sedimentation rates, ~37Cs, Switzerland Abstract We present a historical overview of applications of 21°Pb dating in Switzerland with a special empha- sis on the work performed at the University of Bern. It is demonstrated that the average specific activity of 21°Pb in the lower atmosphere is very constant and does not show seasonal variations. We then concentrate on new results from Lobsigensee, a very small lake, and on published and new data from Lake Zurich. Several 21°pb profiles from these lakes show obvious disturbances and a disagreement of the resulting sedimentation rate when compared to that for the 23 years defined by 137Cs peaks of 1986 (Chernobyl) and 1963 (bomb fallout). A mean sedimentation rate of about 0.14 g cm ' a y- i is found in the oxic and suboxic center part of Lake Zurich. In the oxic locations, the al°Pb flux to the sediments was close to the atmospheric input of about 1/60 Bq cm- 2 y- 1. In other parts of the lake a significant deficit in the inventory of 21°Pb was found in the sediments. This could be due to a chemical redissolution of 2~°Pb together with Mn under reducing conditions.

    A STUDY OF PREHISTORIC ANTHROPOLOGY* HAND-BOOK FOR BEGINNERS. By Thomas Wilson. Prehistoric anthropology is susceptible of many divisions, each of which is sufficiently extensive to form an independent branch of sci- ence, such as the following: Biology and comparative anatomy. Architecture. Fine arts—Continued. Human anatomy. Cliff or cave dwellings. Anthropometry, craniometry. Towers, ruined or otherwise. Comparative psychology. Engraving. Literature, language (written, oral, Paiuting. Sculpture. Industry. Ceramics. Materials andimplements of every craft. Decoration. Clothing and personal adornment. Ornamentation. Habitations, and household utensils. Sociology. Weapons. Love and marriage, child-life. Objects for amusement. Social organizations, customs and be- Articles, uses unkown. liefs, pastimes. Architecture. Fine arts. Tribal organization. Monuments and public works. Government, property, law, etc. Roads, trails, canals, irrigating, etc. Religion, myths, creeds and cults, Folk- Mounds— sepulchral, eflBgy, altar. lore. Forts and earth-works. Education, relief and charities. Graves and cemeteries. Mortuary customs and furniture. Idols and temples. Short experience in the field will demonstrate the necessity of a knowledge of science, or of certain branches, of even wider scope than those enumerated. Remains of human industry may be found which, insignificant in themselves, derive their value from their geologic ho- rizon. Of this kind may be mentioned the Trenton implements found by Dr. Abbott in the gravel deposits of the Delaware River ; the same of the quartz implements found by Miss Babbitt in the terraces of the Mississippi River, at Little Falls, Minn. ; the discovery of the remains of a prehistoric fireplace, decided by Professor Gilbert to belong.to the * The imperfcctious of this fragmentary paper are known to no one better than to the author.
