an 80-year-old GP from Spreitenbach AG has lost his license to practice for good
The Federal Supreme Court has rejected his appeal
The Federal Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of an 80-year-old family doctor from Spreitenbach
thereby confirming an important ruling: The doctor must close his practice after 46 years
The background to this is a serious breach of duty: a patient died of drug poisoning after many years of inappropriate prescribing practices
The canton of Aargau had already revoked the doctor's license to practice in November 2023
but failed both before the administrative court and now finally in Lausanne
The Federal Supreme Court did not uphold his appeal as it was inadequately substantiated
the doctor must inform his patients in writing about the closure of the practice and give them the opportunity to collect their patient files
the files must be sent by post or - if agreed - by e-mail
they must be stored at Archivsuisse at the doctor's expense
Although the doctor must give up his practice
he may in principle continue to work as an employee - but only in an inpatient facility and at the level of senior physician at most
ten professional licenses have been revoked in the canton of Aargau
The case centers on a patient who had received excessive doses of sleeping pills and painkillers for years - often only on telephone request without a medical examination
the woman died of mixed intoxication with zolpidem and tramadol
The District Court of Baden convicted the doctor back in 2022 for violating the Narcotics Act and breaching his duty of care

Genetic studies of Neolithic and Bronze Age skeletons from Europe have provided evidence for strong population genetic changes at the beginning and the end of the Neolithic period
To further understand the implications of these in Southern Central Europe
we analyze 96 ancient genomes from Switzerland
covering the Middle/Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age
Similar to previously described genetic changes in other parts of Europe from the early 3rd millennium BCE
we detect an arrival of ancestry related to Late Neolithic pastoralists from the Pontic-Caspian steppe in Switzerland as early as 2860–2460 calBCE
Our analyses suggest that this genetic turnover was a complex process lasting almost 1000 years and involved highly genetically structured populations in this region
the exact timing of the arrival in other regions
as well as the demographic processes underlying this genetic admixture
Although there are numerous Neolithic and Early Bronze Age sites from the lakeshores and moors
there are no burials directly related to them
to the fact that the Chamblandes type stone cist tombs were already in use in the fifth millennium BCE
exactly at the time when the lakeshore settlements begin to become numerous
The burials of the Early Bronze Age are concentrated in inner alpine regions (Rhone valley
and foothills of the Alps) from which no lakeside settlements of this period are known
in periods with many settlements the corresponding burials are missing
The reasons for this are probably of taphonomic nature
The aim of this project is to investigate the transition from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age in Switzerland in detail
with a specific focus on the timing of the arrival
source and mixture process of steppe-related ancestry
and the social and demographic structure before and after this transition
we generate genome-wide data from 96 individuals dating to the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age period from Switzerland
We also generate data from one individual from the Early Iron Age and the Roman period
We find the expected large genetic turnover at the beginning of the third millennium BC and a highly genetically structured population in the region of present day Switzerland at that time period
a Time ranges of calibrated radiocarbon dates of the archaeological sites. b Geographical distribution of the sites and samples sizes per sites in brackets. Map generated with R version 3.4.3 (R Core Team 2017) using the CIA World Data Bank II currently (mid 2003) available from http://www.evl.uic.edu/pape/data/WDB/
c PCA was reconstructed on 1960 modern European individuals of the POPRES dataset and ancient genomes were projected onto it
one consisting of individuals dating to 4770–2500 calBCE
and one comprising individuals dating to 2900–1750 calBCE
The oldest individuals from the sites of Niederried (CH) and Lingolsheim (F) fall close to ancient individuals from Anatolia associated with early agricultural contexts
More recent individuals from the megalithic burials at Oberbipp (CH) and Aesch (CH) are shifted further towards Western Hunter-Gatherers (WHG) and close to modern-day Sardinian individuals
as well as towards Early and Middle Neolithic individuals from Iberia or the Middle Elbe-Saale (MES) region in Central Germany
This shift mirrors an increase of hunter-gatherer-related ancestry during the middle Neolithic that has been described previously for other parts of Europe
The second distinct cluster is shifted towards the individuals associated with the “Yamnaya” complex
similar to other European groups younger than 2700 BCE
relative to individuals older than 2700 BCE
the oldest individuals are closest to Late Neolithic groups on the steppe
whereas more recent individuals are once again shifted towards the Middle/Late Neolithic cluster
All Final Neolithic and Early Bronze Age individuals fall within the range of modern-day Europeans
but none of the newly sequenced individuals of this study overlap with the present-day Swiss populations in this analysis
suggesting additional population changes in the region after the Middle Bronze Age
a Three-way qpAdm models of the ancient individuals from Switzerland (number of individuals in brackets) sorted by sites in chronological order (bottom to top) with the source populations WHG
steppe pastoralists (Yamnaya Samara) and Anatolia Neolithic
Error bars represent standard error of the proportion of each component
b Relative proportion of the steppe-related ancestry component for each individual in four different regions
calculated with qpAdm and estimates of arrival times (error bars represent the range of C14 dating) and following decrease of the component (dashes lines)
Red dots represent female individuals and blue dots male individuals
c An estimate of genetic diversity between individuals before 2700 BCE and after 2700 BCE and sites with individuals from both periods as well as modern European populations (German and French from the HO dataset)
We analyzed pairwise genetic differences across all analyzed genomic positions between individuals before and after the genetic turnover and found that the mismatch rates increase, on average, by around 0.009 after 2700 BCE for all populations (Fig. 2c
This is more than twice the increase that can be attributed to the between-population variability in rates and indicates a significant increase in genetic diversity after the arrival of the YAM-related ancestry component in Central Europe
Modern populations would be expected to have higher levels on average but are not compared in this analysis since the modern individuals from published datasets usually do not originate from groups with the same background (e.g.
being related distantly) as could be expected in multiple burials
so may be considered suggestive of an earlier arrival of steppe-related ancestry
We also caution that differences are likely affected by uneven sampling through time in the three different datasets
and so expect the precision of this analysis to improve with denser temporal sampling in the future
a Admixture dates of single individuals are plotted against their calC14 dates (horizontal error bars indicate uncertainty in C14 dating and vertical error bars show 95% confidence interval of generation times) and b displayed as time range (C14 dates in red and estimated admixture dates in turquoise)
c Admixture dates of grouped individuals according to their regions of origin were calculated (colors as above)
For comparison, we performed a similar analysis for published ancient Final Neolithic and Bell Beaker populations from the MES region in Germany, Great Britain, and Iberia using a mixture between the YAM-related steppe component and the corresponding Middle Neolithic population of the region (Fig. 3c)
Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age individuals were split in Bell Beaker and Corded Ware groups
we also split the Neolithic individuals from Switzerland into a group of individuals associated with the Corded Ware Complex from Spreitenbach and a group of younger individuals from the Bronze Age
MES and Switzerland) show similar ranges of admixture dates between the steppe-related component and the Neolithic component starting between 3000 and 2500 BCE
The inferred admixture time describes the time when people of steppe-related ancestry encountered people with Late Neolithic ancestry but does not reveal the location
Admixture could have happened in Switzerland or elsewhere
with already admixed individuals moving to Switzerland
The model remains fitting for Iberia Middle Neolithic and France Neolithic populations (p ≥ 0.01 and p ≥ 0.3
respectively) but it fails when we add Late Neolithic individuals from Switzerland or Globular Amphora as additional right population (p ≤ 2e−7 and p ≤ 2e−6
This suggests that both the local Swiss Late Neolithic population as well as people associated with the Late Neolithic Globular Amphora culture
are better proxies of the genetic sources for Final Neolithic and Bronze Age populations from Switzerland than Western ANF and steppe pastoralists
All relationships between the single individuals were reconstructed from autosomal variants and confirmed by uniparentally inherited markers such as mtDNA haplotype and Y chromosomal haplogroup
Individuals with black outline were available for analysis and individuals with gray outline were not found within the burials and are missing
Same colors indicate identical mtDNA haplotypes and matching Y chromosomal haplogroups
Differences in genetic affinity of the ancient individuals from Switzerland to a Swiss–French and Swiss–German, b Swiss–Italian and Swiss–German, and c Swiss–French and Swiss–Italian. Maps generated with R version 3.4.3 (R Core Team 2017) using the CIA World Data Bank II are currently (mid 2003) available from http://www.evl.uic.edu/pape/data/WDB/
Genetic similarities between Corded Ware associated individuals from the MES region in Germany and individuals from Spreitenbach
also associated with the Corded Ware Complex
suggest that this complex was associated with a relatively homogenous genetic population throughout/across large parts of Central Europe
Our study also presents one of the earliest evidence for adult lactose tolerance in Europe
the origin of this steppe-related ancestry component lacking population does not necessarily lie that far south
Also noteworthy is the remarkably early arrival of the steppe-related ancestry component in Switzerland
at least as early as or even earlier than in regions of Germany and Great Britain
especially since datasets from the regions in Great Britain and the MES region in Germany show gaps in the sampling between the Late/Final Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age potentially biasing the results
to draw any conclusions about the exact route in which the steppe-related ancestry spread through Central Europe
For the blunt ending 20 µl extract were combined with 30 μl reaction mix (1× NEB buffer 2
0.4 U/μl T4 Polynucleotide Kinase (BioLabs
0.024 U/μl T4 Polymerase also from BioLabs)
and then incubated in a thermo cycler for 15 min at 15 °C and then 15 min at 25 °C
The resulting 18 μl was then used for the ligation of the adapters
With a final volume of 40 μl the reaction contained: 1× Quick Ligase buffer
250 nM Solexa Adapter Mix and 0.125 U/l Quick Ligase (BioLabs
The incubation was at room temperature for 20 min
This step was followed by a MinElute purification with an elution volume of 20 μl
The 20 μl from the step before were combined with 20 μl of the reaction mix (1× Isothermal buffer
and then incubated for 20 min at 37 °C and then 20 min at 80 °C
The PCR reactions had a final volume of 100 μl and the following concentrations: 1× buffer
0.2 mM P5 and 0.025 U/μl Pfu Turbo Polymerase (Agilent Technologies
The thermal profile started with 2 min at 95 °C This was then followed by ten cycles with 30 s at 95 °C
and 1 min at 72 °C followed by 10 min at 72 °C
After MinElute purification the DNA was eluted in 50 µl TET
To achieve a high copy number of each library
an additional amplification was performed with Herculase II in a final volume of 100 μl consisting of 1× Herculase II reaction buffer
The thermal profile started with 2 min at 95 °C followed by a sample-specific number of cycles of 10 s at 95 °C
All samples were pooled equimolar at 10 nM for shotgun sequencing
For male samples, nuclear contamination was estimated using ANGSD48
Samples with mtDNA or nucDNA contamination >5% as well as samples with <10,000 SNPs of the HO dataset were excluded from further analysis
Pseudo-haploid genotypes for the 1.2 M SNPs were retrieved using pileupcaller (https://github.com/stschiff/sequenceTools)
A reference dataset of 399 published ancient genomes
the HO dataset or the POPRES dataset were compiled
The overlap between the 1.2 M targeted SNPs and the HO data are 593,054 SNPs
between the POPRES and the target SNPs 133,682
For the principal component analysis on the newly sequenced individuals
published ancient individuals and the European population from the POPRES smartpca from the EIGENSOFT package (version: 16000) was used with the parameters lsqproject: YES and shrinkmode: YES
and Karitiana) from the HO dataset and published ancient individuals (Ust Ishim
we set individuals with steppe ancestry proportion zero
To incorporate uncertainty in dating estimates
we did not use the mean date for each individual
and instead randomly sampled a date for each individual from a normal distribution truncated such that the upper and lower bounds of the date estimates form a 95% confidence interval around the sampling mean
We repeated this sampling process 100,000 times and found an optimal value for te for each sample
Optimal values of te were only retained if they produced stable solutions with a positive-definite Hessian matrix
For the uncertainty in the proportion of steppe ancestry it is assumed it is identically distributed
with mean zero and unbiased for all points
as it is standard in least-squares regression
We report kernel density estimates weighted by the ratio of the exponential of the sum of the squared residuals
compared with the optimal residual sum of squares observed
which is proportional to the ratio of Gaussian likelihood functions
This approach allows parameter values that performed best to be given more weight in the report kernel density functions and approximates implementing a Monte Carlo Markov chain with a truncated Gaussian prior distribution for sampling times
and a uniform proposal density function for parameter values
Population continuity since the Bronze Age was tested with qpWave (version: 410) from ADMIXTOOLS (https://github.com/DReichLab) between newly sequenced Swiss Bronze Age individuals and modern Swiss individuals from POPRES using Mbuti
and WHG as outgroups and differences in the genetic affinity between the Bronze Age individuals and the four linguistic regions of Switzerland were assed with D-statistics of the form f4(X,Y; Test
Phenotypic SNPs were genotyped using GATK version 3.851
1×) with reference or alternative alleles carrying A or T were inspected manually to exclude the influence of ancient DNA damage

Authorities say the gun had fallen out of a customer’s pants as he sat down to test the sofa at the store in Fishers
The man reportedly didn’t realize the gun was missing and carried on shopping
Later that day a group of children found the gun and one of them fired it
No injuries were reported and the store stayed open after the incident
“It’s important to remember that if you are going to carry a firearm on your person
that you make sure you’re under control of it at all times
responsible gun ownership,” Fishers Police Sgt
“we take this incident very seriously” and “offered the family of the child involved our sincerest apologies.” In the statement

A woman rented apartments and let their rooms at inflated rates to people who urgently needed accommodation
The Federal Supreme Court found her guilty of rent evasion
A room in a shared apartment for 1260 francs a month - that's how much individual tenants paid a woman who had made subletting living space her business
According to the Federal Supreme Court, this is commercial usury. It thus confirms the ruling of the Zurich High Court. The woman is punished with a two-year suspended prison sentence. The "Tages-Anzeiger" reported on the Federal Court's ruling in February 2025
The tenants affected were socially disadvantaged people
including many asylum seekers who hardly spoke any German
The ruling lists a total of 42 people as aggrieved parties
The landlady had rented three large apartments in 2016 and sublet the rooms at prices that were 25 to 158 percent higher than the usual local interest rates
she installed additional partition walls to create more rooms
She rented these out for between 900 and 1260 francs per room
even though some of them had considerable defects
The woman was briefly remanded in custody during the proceedings in the canton of Zurich
The public prosecutor's office froze 88,000 francs in her accounts to cover the costs of the proceedings
The tenants' association feels vindicated by the ruling
Managing Director Linda Rosenkranz emphasizes in the Tages-Anzeiger that the court has made it clear that taking advantage of tenants in need is a crime
Rent profiteering is a widespread problem and the ruling should encourage those affected to fight back
The case of the "Gammelhäuser" in Zurich
in which an entrepreneur rented studios to people in precarious circumstances for CHF 1,000 and more
The high court also sentenced him to two years' probation
he overcharged his tenants by 750,000 francs between 2012 and 2015
usurious rents not only affect the socially disadvantaged
but also high-earning professionals who urgently need living space
Larissa Steiner from the Zurich Tenants' Association explains that there are several hundred cases of usurious rents in the city
The homeowners' association also sees itself vindicated
but for a different reason: the majority of those convicted were not the owners of the properties
The HEV wanted to enforce stricter regulations on subletting in 2024
the focus was less on excessively high rents than
the provision that subletting could be limited to two years
believes that the figure of several hundred cases of usurious rents in Zurich is exaggerated and unfounded

An IKEA store let stranded drivers get some rest on their show-beds when the M25 highway around London was closed for over seven hours on Tuesday
Two goods trucks crashed into each other at 2:35 p.m., blocking the whole highway. One of them slid over the edge and into an embankment, BBC News reported.
IKEA let people relax in their store and make use of the their display furniture
and took the whole afternoon and evening to clear
The UK's highway agency shared photos of the crash:
An IKEA spokesperson told INSIDER: "Following a road incident we understand some people opted to wait in IKEA Lakeside rather than in their cars."

Tivoli Garten is being built directly next to the Shoppi Tivoli in Spreitenbach
one of the largest shopping centers in the country
The development along the Landstrasse and between the old village center and the recreational areas on the Limmat consists of a base building from which several high-rise buildings are being developed: two high-rise buildings and three- to seven-story long buildings
The base contains a stop for the Limmattalbahn tramway
which is due to start operating in December
The high-rise buildings will be residential; a total of 445 rental apartments with sizes ranging from 1.5 to 5.5 rooms will be built
The "Minergie" energy label and the "Greenproperty Gold" seal of approval
a sustainability label of Credit Suisse Asset Management (Switzerland) AG
The project is owned by two of the company's real estate funds
CSAM is involved in other properties in Spreitenbach
The project was designed by Dachtler Partner
and the total contractor is Eiffage Suisse
The Obi DIY store is scheduled to open in the first half of 2024
and the apartments are expected to be ready for occupancy between summer and fall 2024
A magic ticket opens the door to the cinematic worlds of Held:innen
But it doesn't just open doors to fictional adventures - it also connects the real world of advertising with the unique magic of the big screen
A conversation with cinema marketer Christof Kaufmann and cinema operator Venanzio Di Bacco
Heroes of the silver screen: Werbewoche.ch editor Beat Hürlimann in conversation with cinema marketer Christof Kaufmann (left) and cinema operator Venanzio Di Bacco
The conversation can be watched or read either as a video blog or in writing
Werbewoche.ch: Imagine I give you a magic ticket
similar to the one in the movie "Last Action Hero"
the boy Danny receives such a ticket from his friend Nik
and thanks to it he dives into the movie world of his on-screen hero Jack Slater
Now the question for you: Which movie would you like to experience up close
more specifically the movie "Next Goal Wins" which has just been released and will be released in January 24
This movie is about a Samoan football team trying to qualify for the 2014 World Cup
I would like to accompany Michael Fassbender
and try to lead the team to success together
And which villain would you like to duel with in the real world
that would definitely be Gerd Fröbe from "Goldfinger"
who I would love to get into the ring with
But I also fight against those who still declare cinema dead
That is simply wrong and the opposite was clearly proven last year with Barbie and Oppenheimer and many other successful films
I would also emphasize that streaming is not in competition with cinema
This statement that streaming competes with linear television is almost a bit naïve.malicious
Research shows that people who go to the movies a lot also stream a lot
these are my "bad guys" in a professional context
Why should brands buy an advertising ticket for the movies more often
Venanzio Di Bacco: Brands are of great importance to society and people identify with them
A movie theater offers the perfect environment for a brand
and if the brand and its advertising match the movie
Christof Kaufmann: Cinema is still the only remaining premium medium in Switzerland in which advertising contacts and effects take place in top quality
this should also be increasingly taken into account when choosing an advertising channel
Venanzio Di Bacco: 2023 was an eventful year
We got off to a strong start with "Avatar"
which was a big hit at the beginning of the year
This was followed by "Supermario K.O." at Easter
The summer brought "Barbie and Oppenheimer" with record figures for those months
The Pathé Multiplex Cinema Spreitenbach opened in 2019
The pandemic was an extremely difficult time for the entire industry
As an industry that is normally open almost 24 hours a day
It was a challenge to manage both our teams and our customers
that is over and now we are looking positively to the future
What cinematic highlights can we look forward to in 2024
The coming year promises some exciting movie moments
Then we look forward to the return of "Minions"
And what advertising highlights for the cinema
Christof Kaufmann: It's always a highlight for us when we can show longer versions of commercials on the screen
But also the fact that cinema is a very local medium and also offers surrounding companies the opportunity to communicate with target groups
Do you have any insights into the willingness of advertisers to invest in cinema advertising
we are pleased that we have had a tailwind again since the summer with big hits such as "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer"
We are confident that there will be more investment next year
2023 was generally not a huge year for advertising
Your company Weischer.Cinema Schweiz GmbH published a study with the University of St
What did it reveal about the impact of cinema advertising
Our aim is to provide the advertising market with a large number of qualitative studies in future that prove that an advertising spot has a unique effect on the big screen
This can be achieved by using the impressive premises
such as those found here at Pathé in Spreitenbach
the attention of the audience and the fact that cinema advertising does not interrupt but takes place before the actual film also contribute to this
to provide the advertising market with a variety of factors in the area of impact
Our aim is to offer investment security and convey a positive feeling
Cinema advertising is not just the icing on the cake
but must be an integral part of the entire advertising landscape
What are the outstanding features here at the Pathé cinema complex in Spreitenbach
Venanzio Di Bacco: This cinema is a multiplex with ten unique auditoriums
which is undoubtedly one of the largest in Switzerland
The lounge where we are currently staying was specially built for us
Another highlight is the so-called bed cinema
which offers a truly unique experience - the opportunity to enjoy a movie from a real bed
which was designed in collaboration with a school class from Spreitenbach
This area is very popular with the children
but also like to hold their birthday parties there with their friends and schoolmates
When I arrived at the movie theater this morning
music was playing and the viewer was presented with a beautiful sight
How would you describe your visual experience concept
We have indeed attached great importance to the materialization of the multiplex
with different colors and the recurring Pathé yellow
The aim is to give the customer a feeling of well-being and offer a premium experience
you also emphasized the close ties between your company and the municipality of Spreitenbach
Could you tell us more about this and why this connection is so important
The cinema project was realized in close cooperation with the municipality of Spreitenbach
also functions as a community hall for Spreitenbach
The municipality uses our cinema for its meetings and thus provides an excellent environment for its citizens
It is a partnership that not only strengthens the cinema
You and your team have also continued to improve the overall experience
we now have food trucks that offer three different culinary experiences
where visitors can design their own popcorn according to their preferences - a delicious mix of popcorn and exquisite ingredients
we will also be introducing "Gasa Chilena"
we will also be offering classic treats such as candy floss and bubble teas to round off the movie experience in a tasty way
cinema offers an extremely effective environment for advertising measures
Is cinema more at the top end of the advertising funnel
Christof Kaufmann: This is not necessarily the case
It is likely that very sales-oriented advertising is less common in cinemas
this is due to the special quality of going to the movies
where the audience is truly immersed in the medium and not distracted
which is sometimes sought with other communication channels
Cinema is the ideal channel when it comes to building brand value
the medium can use its uniqueness particularly well to highlight premium features of products or even premium products themselves
Before we watch a commercial break in the big Imax theater: Venanzio di Bacco
Venanzio Di Bacco: We talked beforehand about my movie character
I want to go to the World Cup with the Samoan football team
But I realized I still need a coach to help me

With the motto "openly and honestly unpacked"
Lyreco Switzerland AG is organizing its customer event in a new format for the first time
Lyreco Switzerland has always managed to stay one step ahead when it comes to sustainability in recent years
This was also the case with the customer event on January 25
2024 in the Umweltarena Schweiz in Spreitenbach
Under the motto "openly and honestly unpacked"
science and politics were able to find out why failure is so important when it comes to making supply chains more sustainable
How does "one way" become a genuine circular economy
which technologies make supply chains more efficient and sustainable
and which measures help to make informed purchasing decisions
Lyreco has brought over 30 experts to the stage who really have something to say
from corporations to start-ups and from climate seniors to the youngest generation
Lyreco unboxed is a recurring format that addresses the topic of sustainability in an authentic and bluntly open manner across all formats and unpacks it along the entire supply chain
"Lyreco has been committed to sustainability for a long time," says Thomas Illi
Managing Director of Lyreco Switzerland AG
"not least with our commitment to the Science Based Target initiative
sustainable delivery and the consistent implementation of an environmentally friendly product strategy
we are already setting an example for a net-zero future." Now
the leading service provider is building a unique and honest bridge from the mission "We are pioneers and sustainably deliver everything a workplace needs so that our customers can focus on the essentials." to the customer
"We want to inspire and motivate our customers
Lyreco consistently aligns its measures with its vision
which is why this year's customer event was implemented in as reduced a way as possible
"An initial analysis of the CO2-emissions of the Unboxed event has shown that around 90 % of emissions are generated in the areas of mobility and catering," explains Tina Kempf
"We therefore avoid transportation wherever possible and rely on vegetarian
Lyreco sets itself the following goals when organizing an event in the area of sustainability:
The fact that at an event with around 1000 guests the CO2-emissions cannot be completely avoided
Lyreco is aware of this: "Unavoidable emissions are accounted for and invested in the Swiss mountain forest project through financial support via corporate volunteering," says Tina Kempf
Sustainability is a change that is neither trivial nor black and white
which is why supply chains need transparency and alliances
This is what the provider of workplace solutions offers with its new format "Lyreco unboxed: openly and honestly unpacked"
demonstrating its commitment to moving forward with responsibility
The annual customer event organized by Lyreco Switzerland serves as a networking platform and is traditionally seen as a symbol of thanks for successful collaboration
emissions are also to be reduced for events year after year as part of the Science Based Target initiative
An event guide created on the basis of this event serves this purpose

Farmy AG is a company that brings authentic and responsibly produced foodstuffs from production directly to consumers; its range includes products from more than 1,200 manufacturers
Farmy was looking for a new location and engaged Jones Lang LaSalle as exclusive advisor
The mandate was successfully completed within five months
Farmy will relocate its headquarters from Zurich Altstetten to Spreitenbach in the "Ecopark Tivoli"
where it will rent around 7,000 sqm of commercial and storage space on the ground floor and basement
the property at Pfadackerstrasse 10 will undergo an ecological refurbishment to meet high ESG and sustainability requirements in the future
Farmy's move to the new location is planned for the end of 2022
According to Credit Suisse and Losinger Marazzi
the Neumatt neighborhood will open up the Shoppi shopping center even more to the outside world and at the same time better link the existing parts of Spreitenbach
Around 600 apartments are to be realized in the new buildings
public uses are planned in the basement floors
In order to specify the requirements of the development plan (ERP) and to obtain input for the design of the open space and the architecture of the buildings
the company commissioned with the development and realization of Neumatt
carried out a study commissioning process with seven teams between January and June 2018
in which the municipality of Spreitenbach was also represented
selected the best approach for each building site
There were changes to the planned superstructure: Until now, two wide high-rise slices were planned in Neumatt. In the study commission
several teams proposed to realize narrower twin high-rise buildings instead
This would allow more apartments with a two- or even three-sided orientation
The assessment panel took up this suggestion and recommended that both the South and West high-rise buildings be realized as twin high-rise buildings
The high-rise buildings are to contain rental apartments in a medium to higher price segment
The proposal by Atelier WW Architekten SIA AG from Zurich was chosen for the south construction site
by modern metal facades with integrated photovoltaic systems and a contemporary architectural language
according to a statement from Losinger Marazzi and Credit Suisse
The solution of the team consisting of Ruprecht Architekten and Hildebrand was selected for the West construction site
an entrance area to the Shoppi is to be created in the basement of the double high-rise building
which at the same time upgrades the connection to the Langäcker quarter
During the public circulation of the Neumatt development plan
there was criticism from the public about the plans for construction site C
where a long building was planned along Baumgartenstrasse
The municipality has therefore repositioned the building site
allowing the realization of two row buildings with condominiums at right angles to Baumgartenstrasse according to plans by Morger Partner Architekten from Basel and Studio Vulkan Landschaftsarchitektur from Zurich
The proposal for the open space concept by Studio Vulkan Landschaftsarchitektur also convinced the jury
is pragmatic and will be implemented over a longer period of time
ecological compensation areas with different uses - such as playgrounds and garden areas - are planned for the residents of the high-rise buildings on the roof surfaces of the Shoppi
Numerous green spaces and meeting places will be created around the new buildings
An esplanade will act as a hinge between the Shoppi and the city park
the Spreitenbach municipal council intends to provide information about the value-added compensation it is negotiating with the land owner Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund Interswiss
The municipality can use these funds for the design of the town park or for maintenance tasks
It is expected that in December 2019 the Spreitenbach municipal assembly will vote on the partial revision of the building and usage regulations required for the realization of Neumatt
This will be followed by the development of the construction projects
which must be approved by the municipal council
Construction can therefore begin in 2021/2022 at the earliest
realization will take place in stages and is dependent on the future market situation
1973: Ikea opens its first store outside Scandinavia - here in Switzerland
And "Hej" becomes "Hoi" for the first time
Ikea Switzerland is now celebrating its 50th anniversary this year
The furniture store has engaged three Swiss agencies for the first campaign flight
Erdmannpeisker and Brinkertlück Switzerland are working on a common mission: celebrating the history of Ikea here in Switzerland
the Swedes brought a completely new form of furniture shopping fifty years ago
the agencies are staging the best-known and most popular design classics from Älmhult on the one hand - and on the other
they are thematizing the transformation that fundamentally changed Swiss living styles 50 years ago
All this in the familiar Ikea style: colorful
a full-fledged VBZ streetcar that looks like an Ikea furniture store on the outside and offers a detailed time travel through five decades of product design on the inside
thus pays homage to the well-known "blue Ikea box" as well as the many classics from past decades
Brinkertlück penned the concept and copy-writing for the accompanying communication campaign
which was further developed visually in a co-creative approach
The final polish of the modular design grid was realized by the TBWA\ Zurich team
which stages brand statements and product icons on megaposters and out-of-home placements nationwide
Ikea Switzerland focuses on its identity-forming values and social responsibility
Ikea Switzerland has been using energy-saving LED lighting exclusively since 2015
and in 2020 it introduced "Buyback Friday" for used furniture as a counterbalance to "Black Friday" - last but not least
gender equality is a matter of course at Ikea
with new fathers entitled to eight weeks' paternity leave
(D)OOH measures and the streetcar fullbranding are the start of the anniversary campaign
Many other measures in and outside the furniture stores are planned

dank temporären Schliessungen überleben zu können
Drucken Teilen Die Kinokette Pathé hält ihr neuestes Kino in Spreitenbach AG zurzeit geschlossen
Denn neue Filme gibt es derzeit fast keine
Weil viele Kinos in den USA und China nach wie vor geschlossen sind
halten die Studios ihre kommenden Blockbuster zurück
«Tenet» von Christopher Nolan und der Disney-Film «Mulan»
Nun reagieren erste Kinobetreiber und schliessen ihre Säle vorübergehend
Die Kinokette Pathé hat unter der Woche ihre Multiplex-Kinos in Dietlikon ZH
Spreitenbach AG und in der Mall of Switzerland in Ebikon LU dicht gemacht
Nur freitags bis sonntags werden dort noch Filme gezeigt
die Massnahme gelte nur für die Ferienzeit
temporäre Schliessungen an nachfrageschwachen Wochentagen»
Mittlerweile mache sich aber neben der Ferienzeit das Fehlen neuer Filme bemerkbar
Es kämen deutlich weniger Leute ins Kino als üblicherweise
«Mit den Schliessungen und der Kurzarbeit sind wir zuversichtlich
dass wir die Durststrecke überstehen können»
Bis dahin setzt Pathé auch auf Klassiker und zeigt etwa frühere Filme von Christopher Nolan auf der grossen Leinwand – darunter seine Batman-Trilogie
Insgesamt habe man von den Studios aber leider wenige ältere Filme angeboten bekommen
Pathé als grösste Kinobetreiberin der Schweiz steht mit dem Problem nicht alleine da
Auch die Kinokette Arena ergreift drastische Massnahmen
Sie betreibt unter anderem das nach Anzahl Sälen grösste Kino der Schweiz im Zürcher Sihlcity
«Wir haben täglich mit der vollen Saalkapazität geöffnet»
Fribourg und Genf hingegen sind unter der Woche geschlossen
Dort habe sich Arena zunächst auf den Betrieb am Wochenende beschränkt
Mittlerweile werden auch am Freitag wieder Filme gezeigt
«Wir werden die Öffnungszeiten sukzessiv mit dem Filmangebot erweitern»
Eine Schliessung von Kinos sei für Arena keine Option
Keine ausserordentlichen Schliessungen gibt es auch bei der Kinokette Kitag
Auch sie programmiert derzeit ältere Filme von Christopher Nolan und zeigt daneben Fussballspiele der Raiffeisen Super League auf der grossen Leinwand
weil die Rechtehalterin Cinetrade die Mehrheitsaktionärin von Kitag ist
Zwar gebe es vereinzelt weniger Vorführungen
Zudem sei etwa das Kino Frosch in Zürich in der regulären Sommerpause und damit geschlossen
Mit der Coronakrise habe das aber nichts zu tun
«Reduzierte Spielzeiten haben wir jeden Sommer in diversen Kinos.»
The future headquarters will be located in the immediate vicinity of the Globus department store and flagship store on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse
Digital and HR will move into Lintheschergasse 7
when the existing lease of the current company headquarters in Spreitenbach will also expire
as well as the design of the working areas
There will be no job cuts as a result of the move
involves a new double-track line in the Limmat Valley between the stations of Zurich-Altstetten and Killwangen-Spreitenbach
The new railroad will serve a total of 27 new stops in four municipalities in the canton of Zurich and two in the canton of Aargau along the 13.4 km route
plus the cost of rolling stock procurement and the depot
The railroad is being financed by the cantons of Zurich and Aargau and by the federal government
The Limmattalbahn is intended to serve as a new fast "fine distributor" between the existing services of the S-Bahn and the bus network and provide optimal access to the Limmattal
The new service should give the region a further boost and make it more attractive as a location
as well as promoting settlement development throughout the Limmattal
the construction project has been approved by the court of first instance
This concludes the approval process that began a good three years ago
In 196 objections to the main project and in 56 objections to four project amendments
the objectors requested that the application of Limmattalbahn AG (LTB) not be approved
or they demanded adjustments and amendments to the project
amicable solutions were found in about 70 percent of the cases
opponents of the Limmattalbahn still have legal recourse to the Federal Administrative Court
preparations are underway at Limmattalbahn AG for the start of construction of the first stage
This stage covers the section from Farbhof in Zürich-Altstetten to Schlieren Geissweid and is scheduled to go into operation in 2019
The second stage from Schlieren to Killwangen-Spreitenbach will be built from 2019 to 2022

one cinema in Switzerland got as close to your dream as possible by opening a ‘VIP bedroom’ screen with double beds instead of traditional (read: boring) seats
The ‘VIP bedroom’ can be found in Switzerland inside Cinema Pathé in the northwesterly municipality of Spreitenbach near the Swiss-German border
More info: Pathé Schweiz
Image credits: Pathé Schweiz
The unique cinema is bound to feature 11 beds with adjustable headrests
There are even bedside tables to make the experience as home-like and chill as possible
A VIP ticket costs 49 francs (around $48.50) and includes free food and a drink
while regular tickets cost 19.50 francs (or $19)
you also won’t have to wait in queues to get your snacks and drinks
Image credits: Unknown
The cinema even offers slippers to enhance the experience for you
And in case that’s not fancy enough for you
the CEO of Pathé Switzerland has also announced that they’re launching new food offerings including waffles and crepes
Other VIP experiences include a cinema with double sofas (pictured above) as well as a 350-capacity IMAX screen
Venanzio Di Bacco told the media that the sheets will be changed between every single film
He also added: “The hygiene aspect is very important to us.”
Not only do adults get to enjoy the new cinema experience – there’s a children’s cinema area as well and it has bean bags
The ticket for kids costs 14.50 francs ($14) per child
The CEO of the cinema added: “The offer is unique in Switzerland
But we tested the concept abroad and had no problems so far.”

I actually prefer to sit when watching a movie than to recline. I fall asleep if I'm laying down.
Hygiene still concerns me
Yes but we are all very used to those levels, i'm sure they would be the same in any public place, like how we don't all get ill from our kitchens, kitchen levels of bacteria are dangerously high but we are used to it.
Which is why I always wash my clothing after going to the movies.
Yeah but I mean a bed is a lot more contact than just a seat
Thanks Steve for that information. Looks like it's rubber gloves for me the next time I go to the movie's!
aghhhhhh lolol i shouldn't have read your comment. I am scared for life now. :D
yeah
it sounds like a great idea...until you have horny teens (or uncouth adults) getting carried away during some of these movies that leave little to the imagination when it comes to sex scenes...falling asleep while being too comfortable & wasting the money you spent...other people's odors & drool...no thanks
