Why there are decorated saints in Swiss churches
Dressed up skeletons abound in Swiss churches - who were they and where do they come from?
They are all dressed up with nowhere to go - the saints that are a regular feature of Swiss churches. Dozens of elaborately decorated skeletons of Christian martyrs can be found in Catholic churches around the country. Many of them were imported more than 400 years ago from Rome, and have now been rediscovered and photographed by Carole Alkabes from canton Vaud. We find out why she does it. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)

ZÜRICH, EXPLORING the historic OLD CITY (ALTSTADT), top attractions (SWITZERLAND) ????
Subscribe here: - Let's walk around Zurich's Old City (or Altstadt) and let's experience its medieval houses, narrow lanes, alleyways, houses and parks from the Renaissance period which offer an attractive backdrop for world-class entertainment. A tour of the Old Town lets visitors experience Zurich's multifaceted past. The backdrop turns into a living history of characteristic buildings and the people that lived and acted out their lives in them.
Switzerland is a mountainous Central European country, home to numerous lakes, villages and the high peaks of the Alps. Its cities contain medieval quarters, with landmarks like capital Bern’s Zytglogge clock tower and Lucerne’s wooden chapel bridge. The country is also known for its ski resorts and hiking trails. Banking and finance are key industries, and Swiss watches and chocolate are world renowned.
The double towers of the Grossmünster (Great Minster) are Zurich's landmark. According to legend, Charlemagne built the towers at the location where the graves of the city saints Felix and Regula were discovered. Further sights worth seeing include the Peterskirche (Peter's Church), which has Europe's largest clockface, and the Fraumünster (Minster of Our Lady), which is known for its stained glass windows by Giacometti and Chagall.

Das Grossmünster ist eine evangelisch-reformierte Kirche in der Altstadt von Zürich. Die Kirchenpatrone sind Felix und Regula sowie Exuperantius. Bis zur Reformation war das Grossmünster zugleich Teil eines weltlichen Chorherrenstifts und Pfarrkirche. Das Grossmünster gehört zusammen mit dem Fraumünster und der St.-Peter-Kirche zu den bekanntesten Kirchen der Stadt Zürich. Seine charakteristischen Doppeltürme sind das eigentliche Wahrzeichen der Stadt.
The Grossmünster is a Protestant-Reformed church in the historic city center of Zurich. The patron saints of the church are Felix, Regula, and Experantius. Until the Reformation, the Grossmünster was simultaneously part of a secular chapter of canons and a parish church. Along with the Fraumünster and the St. Peter church, the Grossmünster is one of the most famous churches in the city of Zurich. Its characteristic double towers are the actual landmark of the city.

The Voralpen-Express (VAE, Pre-Alpine Express) is a named train connecting medium-sized cities in central and eastern Switzerland, carrying this name since 1992. It is operated by Südostbahn (SOB) and runs every hour between St. Gallen and Lucerne.
Besides creating a tangential link on the southern edge of the greater Zurich area, it is popular for the pre-alpine scenery. The most important stations with connecting trains and regular boat lines on the lakes are:
Lucerne: GoldenPass Line, Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee), Pilatus mountain
Arth-Goldau: trains through the Gotthard Rail Tunnel to Ticino and Italy; cog-wheel train to Rigi mountain
Biberbrugg: to Einsiedeln
Pfäffikon: line to Chur (Grisons), Lake Zurich
Rapperswil: rose town, Lake Zurich crossing the Seedamm
Wattwil: Churfirsten and Toggenburg

The SLM Re 456 is a four-axis locomotive with inverter technology developed by SLM and BBC (later ABB) in the late 1980s and designed for Swiss private railways.
The locomotive is therefore sometimes referred to as KTU locomotive, short for licensed transport companies (KTU), which term at that time included the private railways, but not the SBB.

Herisau is a municipality of the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden in Switzerland. It is the seat of the canton's government and parliament; the judicial authorities are situated in Trogen.
The central hamlet and the houses around the central square, the Protestant church of 1580, the houses Wetter and zur Rose (both 1737), the hamlet Schwänberg and the government building with the state archive are listed as heritage sites of national significance.
Together with other Alpine towns Herisau engages in the Alpine Town of the Year Association for the implementation of the Alpine Convention to achieve sustainable development in the Alpine Arc.

St. Gallen or traditionally St Gall, in German sometimes Sankt Gallen is a Swiss town and the capital of the canton of St. Gallen. It evolved from the hermitage of Saint Gall, founded in the 7th century. Today, it is a large urban agglomeration (with around 160,000 inhabitants) and represents the center of eastern Switzerland. Its economy consists mainly of the service sector. Internationally, the town is known as the home of the University of St. Gallen, one of word's leading business schools.
The main tourist attraction is the Abbey of Saint Gall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Abbey's renowned library contains books from the 9th century.
The official language of St. Gallen is (the Swiss variety of Standard) German, but the main spoken language is the local variant of the Alemannic Swiss German dialect. The city has good transport links to the rest of the country and to neighbouring Germany and Austria. It also functions as the gate to the Appenzellerland.

Wolfgang Sieber
Wolfgang Sieber (1954) entstammt einer Musikerfamilie aus Lichtensteig, nahe dem Geburtsort von über hundert Toggenburger Hausorgeln und ist seit seinem vierzehnten Lebensjahr ständiger Organist. Nach abgeschlossener Mittelschule verdankt Wolfgang Sieber seine Ausbildung in Klavier, Orgel und Kirchenmusik u.a. Hans Vollenweider in Zürich, Jirí Reinberger in Prag, Gaston Litaize und Jean Langlais in Paris und Franz Lehrndorfer in München.
Konzertaufträge führen Wolfgang Sieber gleichermassen nach Berlin wie ins KKL, nach Japan wie ins alpine Hinterland oder im Jahre 2003 beispielsweise nach Paris zu César Francks Wirkungsort Ste Clotilde. Neben seiner Tätigkeit als Interpret und Komponist engagiert sich Sieber als Pädagoge mit Kindern und Jugendlichen sowie in der Konzertausbildungsklasse (Orgel) des SMPV, als Förderer junger Musiker, Initiant von Komponisten-Begegnungen (Petr Eben, Naji Hakim), Konzertzyklen und Promotionsveranstaltungen mit der 350 Jahre alten Luzerner Hoforgel; als Anreger von Uraufführungswerken (Linus David, Carl Rütti, Felix Schüeli, Sales Kleeb), als Juror, Prüfungsexperte und Orgelberater. Anlässlich der Lichtensteiger Jazztage 2004 spielte Wolfgang Sieber den Klavierpart in Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue. Drei Monate später realisierte er im neuen Alfried Krupp Saal der Philharmonie Essen die Europäische Erstaufführung von Hakims Seattle Concerto und die Uraufführung seiner für diesen Anlass komponierten Rhapsodie Glückauf! für Orgel und Instrumente an der symphonischen Kuhn-Orgel. Zur Eröffnung des Messiaen-Gedenkjahres 2008 interpretierte er dort La Nativité (dokumentiert auf der LIVE-CD bei Ars Produktion Deutschland).

Flaneurdor-Preisverleihung
2014 geht an die flankierenden Massnahmen zur Westumfahrung Zürich
An der Preisverleihung am 28. November in Zürich überreichten Nationalrat Thomas Hardegger, Präsident von Fussverkehr Schweiz, und Evi Allemann, Präsidentin des Verkehrs-Clubs der Schweiz, den mit 10 000 Franken dotierten Hauptpreis an Filippo Leutenegger, der den Preis in seiner Rolle als Vorsteher des Tiefbau- und Entsorgungsdepartements für die Stadt Zürich entgegennahm.
Mit der Auszeichnung würdigt Fussverkehr Schweiz die flankierenden Massnahmen, die die Entlastung des Stadtgebiets vom Durchgangsverkehr sicherstellen, die mit der Eröffnung der Westumfahrung erreicht wurde. Sichtbares und erlebbares Herzstück dieses Bündels von Massnahmen ist die vorbildliche Neugestaltung der ehemaligen «Westtangente», die jahrzehntelang als Transitachse durch die Stadt Zürich das Leben in den betroffenen Quartieren bestimmt hat.
Die Strassen und Plätze entlang der ehemaligen Westtangente wurden verkehrsberuhigt, so dass der öffentliche Raum wieder vermehrt Begegnungsort und Erholungsraum ist. Zwei neue Plätze – der Anny-Klawa-Platz und der Brupbacherplatz – wurden geschaffen. Ebenso hat die Weststrasse ein komplett neues Gesicht erhalten. Die Sihlfeldstrasse erhielt eine neue Allee und hat dank der breiteren Trottoirs das Potenzial, zu einer Flaniermeile zu werden. Der umgestaltete Bullingerplatz ist heute schon ein beliebter und stark frequentierter Quartiertreff.

Huldrych Zwingli
Huldrych (or Ulrich/Ulricht) Zwingli (1 January 1484 – 11 October 1531) was a leader of the Reformation in Switzerland. Born during a time of emerging Swiss patriotism and increasing criticism of the Swiss mercenary system, he attended the University of Vienna and the University of Basel, a scholarly centre of humanism. He continued his studies while he served as a pastor in Glarus and later in Einsiedeln, where he was influenced by the writings of Erasmus.
In 1518, Zwingli became the pastor of the Grossmünster in Zurich where he began to preach ideas on reforming the Catholic Church. In his first public controversy in 1522, he attacked the custom of fasting during Lent. In his publications, he noted corruption in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, promoted clerical marriage, and attacked the use of images in places of worship. In 1524, Zwingli changed his belief about the Lord's Supper, and experienced a dream which gave him confidence in his position. In 1525, Zwingli introduced a new communion liturgy to replace the Mass. Zwingli also clashed with the Anabaptists, which resulted in their persecution.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
Pope Pius XII (Italian: Pio XII), born Eugenio Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Pacelli (Italian pronunciation: [euˈdʒɛːnjo maˈriːa dʒuˈzɛppe dʒoˈvanni paˈtʃɛlli]; 2 March 1876 – 9 October 1958), was the Pope of the Catholic Church from 2 March 1939 to his death. Before his election to the papacy, he served as secretary of the Department of Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs, papal nuncio to Germany, and Cardinal Secretary of State, in which capacity he worked to conclude treaties with European and Latin American nations, most notably the Reichskonkordat with Nazi Germany.While the Vatican was officially neutral during World War II, Pius XII maintained links to the German Resistance, used diplomacy to aid the victims of the war and lobby for peace, and spoke out against race-based murders and other atrocities. The Reichskonkordat and his leadership of the Catholic Church during the war remain the subject of controversy—including allegations of public silence and inaction about the fate of the Jews. After the war, he advocated peace and reconciliation, including lenient policies towards former Axis and Axis-satellite nations. He was also a staunch opponent of Communism and of the Italian Communist Party.
During his papacy, the Church issued the Decree against Communism, declaring that Catholics who profess Communist doctrine are to be excommunicated as apostates from the Christian faith. In turn, the Church experienced severe persecution and mass deportations of Catholic clergy in the Eastern Bloc. He explicitly invoked ex cathedra papal infallibility with the dogma of the Assumption of Mary in his Apostolic constitution Munificentissimus Deus. His magisterium includes almost 1,000 addresses and radio broadcasts. His forty-one encyclicals include Mystici corporis, the Church as the Body of Christ; Mediator Dei on liturgy reform; and Humani generis on the Chur ...

SUMMARY
=======
Huldrych Zwingli or Ulrich Zwingli (1 January 1484 – 11 October 1531) was a leader of the Reformation in Switzerland. Born during a time of emerging Swiss patriotism and increasing criticism of the Swiss mercenary system, he attended the University of Vienna and the University of Basel, a scholarly center of Renaissance humanism. He continued his studies while he served as a pastor in Glarus and later in Einsiedeln, where he was influenced by the writings of Erasmus.
In 1519, Zwingli became the pastor of the Grossmünster in Zürich where he began to preach ideas on reform of the Catholic Church. In his first public controversy in 1522, he attacked the custom of fasting during Lent. In his publications, he noted corruption in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, promoted clerical marriage, and attacked the use of images in places of worship. In 1525, Zwingli introduced a new communion liturgy to replace the Mass. Zwingli also clashed with the Anabaptists, which resulted in their persecution. Historians have debated whether or not he turned Zürich into a theocracy.The Reformation spread to other parts of the Swiss Confederation, but several cantons resisted, preferring to remain Catholic. Zwingli formed an alliance of Reformed cantons which divided the Confederation along religious lines. In 1529, a war between the two sides was averted at the last moment. Meanwhile, Zwingli's ideas came to the attention of Martin Luther and other reformers. They met at the Marburg Colloquy and although they agreed on many points of doctrine, they could not reach an accord on the doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
In 1531 Zwingli's alliance applied an unsuccessful food blockade on the Catholic cantons. The cantons responded with an attack at a moment when Zürich was ill-prepared. Zwingli died on the battlefield. His legacy lives on in the confessions, liturgy, and church orders of the Reformed churches of today.
