Need Help? My Profile Logout The Country Ramblers at Bluegrass i de Müli in Urnäsch (8/17/24) – photo © Werner Gmünder Many thanks to Beat Heri, Editor of the Swiss Bluegrass Music Association News, for allowing us to republish this story he wrote, translated into English, about this remarkable achievement by the Country Ramblers. This summer, the Country Ramblers of Switzerland have been celebrating their 55th Anniversary to sold out houses, be it in Adliswil near Zurich, Elgg near Winterthur, or Urnäsch in Appenzell. Their music remains forceful and enchanting, the shows engaging and full of humor. Because banjo man Urs von Arx has been a New York City resident for the last 20 years, the Country Ramblers only get together to practice and play during his stays in Switzerland. The way the band nevertheless blends together is a testament to the format of four equal partners each carrying their weight while listening to the others, and not least to more than five decades of joint experience in bringing bluegrass to audiences in Europe. emailAbout the AuthorGuest ContributorOccasionally we have Guest Contributors who share their thoughts and experiences on Bluegrass Today Latest Event ListingsSearch Events powered by AhSo © Bluegrass Today 2025powered by AhSo with participation from Axeleo Capital and returning investors Founderful and SOSV Industries have long struggled with PFAS treatment Current methods like filtration and adsorption can often just move PFAS from water to other waste streams requiring incineration or landfilling that risks these chemicals leaching back into the environment through air or soil – creating an endless cycle of contamination often their massive energy requirements make them financially impractical for most organizations to implement at scale Oxyle says its technology represents the world’s first economical and permanent solution to PFAS contamination achieving over 99% elimination rates while consuming at least 15 times less energy than alternative destruction methods The system’s three-stage process combines foam fractionation and real-time monitoring powered by machine learning – all housed in a modular system that eliminates the need for secondary waste disposal through incineration or landfilling Whereas traditional solutions require weeks-long lab analysis Oxyle’s proprietary monitoring system provides instant feedback and continuous treatment optimization Oxyle was two of us founders and one big idea: get rid of forever chemicals from our water It gives us what we need to take our technology to the industries and communities that need it most thank you for joining us on this mission to make clean water a reality for all.” The company was co-founded by Fajer Mushtaq and Silvan Staufert at ETH Zurich where Mushtaq earned her PhD in Micro- and Nanosystems focused on water remediation – inspired by her experiences with water scarcity in Delhi – while Staufert completed his PhD in Mechanical and Process Engineering the duo have transformed Oxyle from innovation to implementation and secured prestigious recognition including the Swiss Technology Award This round brings Oxyle’s total funding to $26m including additional non-dilutive funding from grants and awards With revenue-generating customer pilots under its belt and its first commercial installation operational Oxyle is now securing multiple-year treatment contracts for 2025 and beyond The company says the technology’s effectiveness has been proven across multiple applications it reduces PFAS concentrations from 8,700 ng/l to below 14 ng/l it achieves 99.8% removal of 11 different PFAS species It eliminated 98% of short-chain PFAS and reduced trifluoracetic acid (TFA) concentrations by 96% in trials with an industrial customer Oxyle deployed its first full-scale system in Switzerland treating 10 cubic meters of contaminated groundwater per hour at less than 1 kWh/m³ The timing for Oxyle’s solution is critical Rising waves of PFAS-related lawsuits and multi-billion-dollar settlements in the U.S are pushing companies to adopt preventative solutions Stricter regulations in both the EU and U.S are increasing demand for advanced treatment technologies that can ensure compliance and minimize liability New data from the Forever Lobbying Project shows the cost of inaction is staggering—cleaning up Europe’s soil and water from PFAS contamination could cost €100 billion per year totalling €2 trillion over the next 20 years Oxyle aims to treat 100 million litres of contaminated water in the next five years The company plans to expand its solution across industries from chemical and consumer goods manufacturing to semiconductor production and municipal water treatment – ultimately restoring and protecting our waters from Forever Chemicals Published by Capel Media Limited Registered in England and Wales Company Registration Number 13636441VAT Number GB 391 5977 47 Registered address:2 Claridge CourtLower Kings RoadBerkhamstedHertfordshireHP4 2AF Proud to be a member of British Water www.britishwater.co.uk © Capel Media Limited.

FC-Adliswil-Vizepräsident Hans Laseroms hat nach seiner Einreise aus den Niederlanden in die Schweiz vier Jahre lang bei Red Star in der 1 Er hat das B-Trainerdiplom und trainiert momentan interimistisch die Adliswiler Viertligamannschaft die die Tabellenspitze ziert.Foto: Silvia LucknerDiese Niederlage war voraussehbar Der punktelose Tabellenletzte Adliswil verlor in der Gruppe 5 bei Tabellenführer Lachen/Altendorf gleich 0:7 Eine Woche zuvor unterlagen die Sihltaler zu Hause gegen den Ranglistenzweiten Zofingen 0:5 «Natürlich sind unsere Fanionteamspieler mit ihrer sportlichen Situation nicht glücklich» umschreibt Vereinsvizepräsident und Sportchef der ersten Mannschaft Die Tabellenlage der Adliswiler sieht zwar deprimierend aus Auch das 0:7 in Lachen war spielerisch nicht so schlecht «Das erste Gegentor erhielten wir nach fünf Minuten und das zweite nach einer Viertelstunde» Zwischen den beiden Toren hatten die Gäste aber durch Dennis Boakye eine Ausgleichschance Und nach dem 0:2 hatten sie vor der Pause Möglichkeiten auf das Anschlusstor «Als aber drei und fünf Minuten nach dem Seitenwechsel das dritte und vierte Gegengoal gefallen sind In dieser Saison zum Beispiel führte das Team des guten Trainers Mario Giovanni Pischedda in Muri und Rotkreuz je mit 2:0 ehe es noch eine 2:3 respektive 2:5-Niederlage absetzte In den verbleibenden fünf Vorrundenspielen tritt Adliswil noch viermal gegen Teams wie Einsiedeln (Ranglistenneunter) Blue Stars (Elfter) und Klingnau (Achter) an wird dann im Vorstand Trainer Pischedda ein Thema sein dass wir den Spielern kein Geld bezahlen und dass dieser Umstand in der 2 Liga interregional sehr schwer für einen Trainer ist Seit geraumer Zeit zum Beispiel muss der Coach studienhalber auf Antreiber Gilles Steiger

Swiss Cannabis Research Das Forschungsbudget beträgt rund 1.5 Millionen Franken und wird laut Good durch Spenden finanziert Gemäss Forschungsleiter Andreas Beerli von der Konjunktur­forschungsstelle KOF der ETH liegt der wissenschaftliche Fokus auf den sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Folgen für die Probanden ob sich legales Cannabis positiv auf Gesundheit und Bildungsverlauf auswirke Umgekehrt könne sich durch die einfache Zugänglichkeit der Konsum erhöhen Nur zwei von drei Gruppen werden Zugang zum regulierten Cannabis erhalten die weiterhin illegal Cannabis beziehen muss erhofft sich Beerli entsprechende Erkenntnisse Aufgrund der Grösse der Gruppen könnten auch Unterschiede zwischen Stadt und Land oder Altersgruppen erkennbar sein Schlieren und Horgen können die Teilnehmenden in Fachgeschäften und Apotheken ab Mai 2024 Cannabis beziehen Insgesamt dürfen Kiffer aus 34 Gemeinden teilnehmen ab wann wie viele Probanden teilnehmen werden Auf der Warteliste stehen jedoch bereits 3000 Personen müssten sich diese keine Sorgen bezüglich Datenschutz machen das Strassenverkehrsamt etwa erfahre nichts von der Teilnahme Ein ähnliches Projekt lancierte die Stadt Zürich bereits im vergangenen Jahr Daran nehmen zurzeit knapp 2000 Personen teil Die wissenschaftliche Leitung des städtischen Projekts liegt bei der Psychiatrischen Universitätsklinik Zürich welche die Teilnehmenden
