Gruyères
Gruyères is a town in the district of Gruyère in the canton of Fribourg in Switzerland. In 2020 the town had a population of 2,205 individuals.
The medieval town is an important tourist location in the upper valley of the Saane/Sarine river, and gives its name to Gruyère cheese. The medieval town is located at the top of 82-metre (269 ft) high hill overlooking the Saane valley and the Lake of Gruyère.
90% of the population speak French as their first language, German (4%) is the second most common, and Portuguese is the third.
Economy of Gruyères
Gruyères has always been a rural town. Agricultural products from the surroundings were processed and brought to the market here. Formerly, the focus was on trading cheese and farm animals. There were several mills and sawmills and also a gunpowder factory founded in the 18th. century. Until the beginning of the 20th century, straw-twisting was also important.
Agriculture still specializes in milk production and cattle-breeding. It delivers raw materials to the town for cheese production and meat processing. Most important is Gruyère cheese. Forestry is also a factor.
The secondary sector includes cabinetmaking, precision mechanics and craftworks. There are also many jobs in restaurants and hotels.
As of 2010, Gruyères had an unemployment rate of 2.5%.
History of Gruyères
Graves from the Hallstatt era and the La Tène era (325-250 BC) as well as other traces from the Bronze Age were discovered in nearby Epagny. The remains of a Roman era villa from the 2nd.-3rd. century AD and an Early Middle Ages cemetery were also found nearby. A Roman settlement was probably located on a hill in Gruyères.
Gruerius, the legendary founder of Gruyères, captured a crane (in French: “grue”) and chose it as his heraldic animal, inspiring the name Gruyères. The town developed beneath the castle, which the Count of Gruyère had built on top of the hill, to control the upper Saanen valley.
By 1195 Gruyères had become a market town with a central street and city walls.
On the 22nd. June 1476 Gruyères participated in the Battle of Morat against Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. With the help of the Old Swiss Confederacy, they routed the Burgundian army and captured three capes of the Order of the Golden Fleece which belonged to Charles the Bold including one with the emblems of Philip the Good, his father.
At the time of the battle he was commemorating the anniversary of the death of his father.
Count Rudolph III allowed the villages on the left bank of the Saane to build St. Theodul's church. When it was dedicated in 1254, it was the parish church of the new Gruyères parish. The Counts of Gruyères were buried under the altar of St. Michael in the church.
The church was mostly destroyed in 1670 and again in 1856 by fire, which left only the choir and tower undamaged. The renovated church was consecrated in 1860.
In addition to the parish church, the Counts had the Chapel of St. John the Baptist in the castle, with two glass windows dating from the late 15th. century. The Chapel of St. Moritz in the old hospital was built with the hospital in 1431.
The Chapelle du Berceau was built in 1612, following a plague that killed 140.
During the Thirty Years' War, nuns from St. Bernard and the Visitation Order fled from Besançon and Dole to settle in Gruyères. The latter remained in town between 1639 and 1651 and ran a private school.
Starting in the 15th. century a primary school opened in the town which was open mainly to boys. A secondary school opened in the 20th. century but it moved in 1973 to Bulle.
Gruyères had a plague house which was first mentioned in 1341. The town's hospital was founded in the mid-15th. century and remained in operation until the second half of the 19th. century. One side of the hospital building housed the primary school until 1988 and was then renovated into a nursing home.
Between 1891 and 1925 the Ingenbohl sisters ran the Deaf and Dumb Institute of Saint-Joseph in Gruyères. In 1925 it moved to Fribourg.
Nineteen counts are recorded for the period between the 11th. and 16th. centuries. The last of them, Michel, had been in financial trouble almost all his life, only to end in bankruptcy in 1554. His creditors the cantons of Fribourg and Bern shared his earldom between them.
From 1555 to 1798 the castle became residence to the bailiffs and then to the prefects sent by Fribourg. In 1849 the castle was put up for sale and sold to the Bovy and Balland families, who stayed at the castle during summer time and restored it.
The castle was then bought back by the canton of Fribourg in 1938, made into a museum and opened to the public. Since 1993, a foundation ensures the conservation as well as the promotion of the building and its collection.

"The Neighborhood News" was published by my mother and her neighbor-friend Joan Kirk over the summer of 1958 (barring a few weeks when Mom was at summer camp and Joan had to pad out the contents with excerpted poems and jokes). Its contents largely deal with the ins and outs of the McMillan and Kirk families, but in order to boost subscribership they gave token representation to other neighbors' bingo winnings, minor car accidents, et cetera. One of the more charming things about it is watching the courtship of Nancy and Watkins Ewell move along over the course of the summer. The one regular feature was "Billy," a series of cartoons my mother describes as "sort of lame" and "probably ripped off of Nancy."

Marcus Miller torna ad esibirsi dal vivo con una band di giovani musicisti ai Magazzini Generali di Milano.
Dopo un'assenza dalle scene nel 2014, in cui si è concentrato nel comporre nuova musica ispirato dal ruolo di portavoce dell'UNESCO per lo Slave Route Project, Marcus ha registrato un nuovo CD tra Rio, Parigi, Los Angeles e Lafayette (Louisiana).
Marcus Miller, vincitore di due Grammy Awards, dell'Edison Award for Lifetime Achievement in Jazz 2013, del Victorie du Jazz 2010 e nominato Artista per la Pace Uncesco 2013 non è solo un musicista eccezionale, un bassista e multi strumentista apprezzato in tutto il mondo ma anche un dotato compositore e produttore.
Il leggendario album "Tutu", scritto e prodotto per Miles Davis, lo ha consacrato alla fama internazionale quando aveva solo 25 anni.
Nel corso della sua carriera Miller ha collaborato con moltissimi artisti di talento tra cui Eric Clapton, George Benson, Luther Vandross, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Al Jarreau, George Duke, Wayne Shorter, Lalah Hathaway e Herbie Hancock. Ha anche prodotto i suoi album, vere e proprie pietre miliari del genere, come The Sun Don't Lie, Tales, M2, Silver Rain, Free, A Night in MonteCarlo (con l'Orchestra Filarmonica di Montecarlo) e Renaissance che gli ha dato l'occasione di intraprendere un tour mondiale con una nuova band composta da giovani talentuosi musicisti, forse ricordando le sue audizioni con un certo Miles Davis che ha fatto la stessa cosa per Marcus ed altri giovani musicisti di talento come Herbie Hancock e Wayne Shorter.

The Postcard

They state on the back of the card that it is guaranteed to be a real photograph.
Scarborough
Scarborough is a town on the North Sea coast of North Yorkshire. The town lies between 10–230 feet (3–70 m) above sea level, rising steeply northward and westward from the harbour on to limestone cliffs. The older part of the town lies around the harbour, and is protected by a rocky headland.
With a population of just over 61,000, Scarborough is the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire coast. The town has fishing and service industries, including a growing digital and creative economy, as well as being a tourist destination. People who live in the town are known as Scarborians.
The Development of Scarborough as a Resort
In 1626, Mrs Thomasin Farrer discovered a stream of acidic water running from one of the cliffs to the south of the town. This gave birth to Scarborough Spa, and Dr. Robert Wittie's book about the spa waters published in 1660 attracted a flood of visitors to the town.
Scarborough Spa became Britain's first seaside resort, though the first rolling bathing machines were not noted on the sands until 1735. It was a popular getaway destination for the wealthy of London.
The coming of the Scarborough-York railway in 1845 increased the tide of visitors. Scarborough railway station claims to have the world's longest platform seat. From the 1880's until the First World War, Scarborough was one of the regular destinations for The Bass Excursions, when fifteen trains would take between 8,000 and 9,000 employees of Bass's Burton brewery on an annual trip to the seaside.
The Grand Hotel
When the Grand Hotel was completed in 1867 it was one of the largest hotels in the world, and one of the first giant purpose-built hotels in Europe.
Four towers represent the seasons, 12 floors represent the months, 52 chimneys represent the weeks, and originally 365 bedrooms represented the days of the year. A blue plaque outside marks where the novelist Anne Brontë died in 1849. She was buried in the graveyard of St. Mary's Church by the castle.
Maritime Events Associated With Scarborough
During the Great War, the town was bombarded by German warships. Scarborough Pier Lighthouse, built in 1806, was damaged in the attack.
In 1929 the steam drifter Ascendent caught a 560-pound (250 kg) tunny (Atlantic bluefin tuna), and a Scarborough showman awarded the crew 50 shillings so he could exhibit it as a tourist attraction.
Big-game tunny fishing off Scarborough effectively started in 1930 when Lawrie Mitchell-Henry landed a tunny caught on rod and line weighing 560 pounds (250 kg).
A gentlemen's club, the British Tunny Club, was founded in 1933, and set up its headquarters in the town at the place which is now a restaurant with the same name.
Sir Edward Peel landed a world-record tunny of 798 pounds (362 kg), capturing the record by 40 pounds (18.1 kg) from one caught off Nova Scotia by American champion Zane Grey. The British record, which still stands, is for a fish weighing 851 pounds (386 kg) caught off Scarborough in 1933 by Lawrie Mitchell-Henry.
On the 5th. June 1993 Scarborough made headlines around the world when a landslip caused part of the Holbeck Hall Hotel, along with its gardens, to fall into the sea.
Although the slip was shored up with rocks and the land has long since grassed over, evidence of the cliff's collapse remains clearly visible from The Esplanade, near Shuttleworth Gardens.
Chorley girl Suzanne Cornwell (pictured) is the cover star of Chorley Community Housing’s (CCH’s) new annual report. The report sets out CCH’s achievements over the past year and is available to CCH tenants on request.
It can also be viewed by visiting our website at www.chorleych.co.uk and clicking on the link on our homepage.
Suzanne, who is based at the head office of CCH’s parent organisation Adactus Housing Group in Leigh, works as a repairs planner. She was previously based at the Council depot at Bengal Street when CCH’s repairs team was based there, but moved to Leigh as part of a restructure of the repairs service.
Suzanne said: “The annual report describes a number of changes that CCH has made to the way in which it delivers services to tenants, including repairs. It also describes some of the changes we’re looking to make over the next few months.”
CCH is required by the Tenant Services Authority to publish an annual report and to make a copy available to tenants. The report is now available online and will be posted to any tenants who request one.
CCH Director of Operations Richard Houghton said: “We appreciate that some people will think that sending the report out to everyone is not good value for money and so we’re only sending this to tenants who actually ask for a copy. Alternatively, people are more than welcome to drop into our offices in Gillibrand Street to collect a copy.”
The report has been published covering CCH’s performance for the year ending 31st March 2010. Copies are available from CCH’s offices in Gillibrand Street, by telephoning 01257 244800 or online.

Harvey Kurtzman’s Strange Adventures
By Michael Vance
There are three great fears for a writer: the inability to write; that their best work is already past; that they’ll die before creating a masterpiece. There’s no evidence that Harvey Kurtzman ever suffered writer’s block, and “Mad Magazine”, “Frontline Combat” and “Two Fisted Tales” are undisputed masterpieces.
Two out of three is missed fears isn’t bad.
“Strange Adventures” is a beautifully produced anthology of Kurtzman stories, illustrated by seven talented artists including Kurtzman himself. It’s touted as the long awaited return to the “Mad” format that made the cartoonist famous. It’s actually a rehashing of worn themes without his hard-edged, biting wit.
“Shmegeggi of the Cavemen” is the best of the book, taking a poignant look at how genius ahead of its time is alternately praised and outcast by society. The artwork by William Stout is beautiful, and perfectly suited for a story where the first kiss is considered kinky by the status quo. But one gem does not a crown make.
Among the other genres winked at are pirate movies, westerns, horror and kid stories, and superhero comics.
That Harvey used to stick out his tongue at the stupidity of man and his art is the problem with “Strange Adventures”. Doing so is satire. Kurtzman winks now, and that’s not satire. Oversimplified, this distinction is like the difference between Woody Allen films – substance – and “Police Academy” movies – surface.
This book is surface without substance.
Some critics may argue that weak Harvey is better than none. But Kurtzman has missed the high mark that he, as much as anyone, established in comics. While it doesn’t diminish his early brilliance, this book adds nothing to one of the most distinguished careers in comics.
“Harvey Kurtzman’s Strange Adventures”/ hardback, 80 pages, published by Epic Comics, $19.95/available in comics shops.
MINIVIEW: “Cerebus – Jaka’s Story”. Over 400 pages at $24.95, possibly the only real graphic novel released in 1990. Despite occasional visual and prose padding, artist and writer Dave Sims continues to raise the quality of adult comics. Highly recommended. Available by mail.

A postcard published by Heiss & Co., Graph. Kunstanstalt Coln-Lindenthal.
The card was posted on Wednesday the 23rd. July 1919 to:
Mrs. Couchman,
69, Montfort Road,
Strood,
Kent,
England.
The back of the card bears a rectangular blue censor's stamp numbered 1804. The censor has also signed the card.
The pencilled message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Rhine Army.
Hope you are alright -
haven't heard since
Saturday".
There have been two formations named British Army of the Rhine (BAOR). Both were originally occupation forces in Germany, one after the First World War, and the other after the Second World War.
The first British Army of the Rhine was set up in March 1919 to implement the occupation of the Rhineland. It originally comprised five corps, composed of two divisions each, plus a cavalry division.
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Not a lot, but two days earlier, on Monday the 21st. July 1919, there was an air accident in Chicago.
The Wingfoot Air Express was a dirigible that crashed into the Illinois Trust and Savings Building in Chicago. The Type FD dirigible, owned by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, was transporting people from Grant Park to the White City amusement park.
One crew member, two passengers, and ten bank employees were killed in what was, up to that point, the worst dirigible disaster in United States history.
The craft caught fire at about 4:55pm while cruising at an altitude of 1,200 ft (370 m) over the Chicago Loop. When it became clear the dirigible was lost, the pilot, Jack Boettner, and chief mechanic, Harry Wacker, used parachutes to jump to safety. (I'm all right, Jack!)
A second mechanic, Henry Weaver, died when his parachute caught fire. Another passenger, Earl H. Davenport, a publicity agent for the White City Amusement Park, jumped from the dirigible, but his parachute got tangled in the rigging and he hung fifty feet below the burning craft; he was killed when the airship crashed.
A fifth person who parachuted from the dirigible, Chicago Daily News photographer Milton Norton, broke both legs and later died in hospital.
At the Illinois Trust & Savings Bank building at the northeast corner of LaSalle Street and Jackson Boulevard, 150 employees were closing up after the day's business in and around the main banking hall, which was illuminated by a large skylight.
The remains of the Wingfoot struck the bank's skylight directly, and flaming debris fell through to the banking hall below. The result was that ten employees were killed, and 27 banking staff were injured.
Finally got a better photo of this one. Back is pieced bits of Anna Maria Horner LouLouThi and Innocent Crush.

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle 29 Aug 1916 p12.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.
I was contacted recently and asked if I would sell a couple of my images so that they could be used in a magazine. I agreed, the magazine arrived in the post today. Both images were used, and one was used as a backdrop for a 2 page spread.
It's in "Paranormal" magazine, issue 27, September 2008.
I'm feeling quite chuffed :-)
Recently I got a mail from a representative of the Znak Monthly magazine, a publication from a catholic organisation in Poland. they were interested in using a photo made by me on the cover of a magazine.
I like what they did with the photo. They brightened it a bit and made a cutout which makes the fisheye distortion less visible.
You can see the photo on their website as well: www.miesiecznik.znak.com.pl
