Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Wolfgang Müslin dit Musculus (né le 8 septembre 1497 à Dieuze, (Duché de Lorraine) ; mort le 30 août 1563 à Berne) était un théologien réformateur lorrain. Né dans le village de Dieuze (pays du Saulnois), dans le Duché de Lorraine (actuellement en Moselle), en terre de langue germanique ou plus précisément francique jusqu'à la guerre de Trente Ans. Il parlait donc le platt. Ce Lorrain évoque à lui tout seul, de façon prémonitoire, toute l'histoire de sa région. Passionné par le chant, le savoir, les langues, l'humanisme et la religion, il est entraîné dans les tempêtes et les déchirures de son siècle comme beaucoup de Lorrains le seront en d'autres temps. Son immense talent le fait connaître dans l'Europe entière et la tradition orale de ses chants résonne encore aujourd'hui dans les temples réformés. En 1527, il quitte le monastère bénédictin de Lixheim (actuel département de la Moselle) pour devenir diacre à la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, puis curé à Augsbourg. Après 17 ans d'activité, il quitte la ville en réaction à l'introduction de l'intérim d'Augsbourg, arrive en Suisse et devient professeur de théologie à Berne à partir de 1549. Fils d'un humble tonnelier, Wolfgang Müslin est très vite attiré par les études. Après avoir suivi les enseignements de base dans son village, il se rend dès l'âge de 12 ans à Rappoltsweiler (en français Ribeauvillé) en Alsace dont il apprécie la qualité de l'école. Il subvient à ses besoins quotidiens en chantant dans les rues et parvient à gagner la...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Davis (T-AGOR-5) , was one of nine Conrad class oceanographic ships built for the United States Navy (USN), that later saw service in the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN). Serving with the USN from 1963 to 1970, these ships were designed to perform acoustic experiments on sound transmission underwater, and for gravity, magnetism and deep-ocean floor studies. The ship was recommissioned into the RNZN in late 1970, and as HMNZS Tui served as an oceanographic survey and research ship until her decommissioning in 1997. In 1999, the ship was scuttled as a dive wreck Construction The ship was laid down by Christy Corp, Wisconsin on 15 June 1961. She was launced on 30 June 1962, and was commissioned into the USN on 25 January 1963. The ship was named after Rear Admiral Charles Henry Davis .

For years Tui went unobtrusively about the kind of work she was designed for, primarily underwater acoustics. Tui worked in Australian, Indian Ocean and South Pacific waters. She worked on Auckland University research, with DSIR scientists, and with other oceanographic ships. Tui also took part in several American research programs. Her acoustic research was mainly to do with the detectio... ... Read more

Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : César Ritz est un hôtelier et entrepreneur d'origine suisse, né le 23 février 1850 à Niederwald dans le haut-Valais et mort le 26 octobre 1918 à Küssnacht (Lu). Il est le premier à développer le marché de l'hôtellerie de luxe. Il a laissé sa marque dans l'histoire de l'hôtellerie tant et si bien qu'en anglais le mot "ritzy" est un adjectif qui désigne le nec plus ultra en matière d'élégance. Il est né à Niederwald, village du Haut-Valais dans une famille de bergers. Ses parents le placent, encore tout jeune, à l'Auberge des Trois Couronnes et de la Poste, à Brigue, une commune du Valais. Au bout de quelques mois en 1867, il quitte la Suisse pour venir travailler à Paris au moment de l'Exposition universelle. Il débute sa carrière dans des restaurants comme serveur puis comme sommelier. Il exerce au grand hôtel parisien « Le Splendide », puis devient maître d'hôtel « Chez Voisin », un grand restaurant parisien qui doit fermer suite à la guerre de 1870. Dans cette dernière place, il côtoie le Tout-Paris de l'époque, ce qui fut pour lui une excellente école de psychologie sociale. En 1873 il travaille à l'exposition universelle de Vienne lorsqu'il rencontre pour la première fois le Prince de Galles. Après 5 années dans les restaurants, il se tourne vers l'hôtellerie. Il prend le poste de directeur d'un hôtel de Menton sur la riviera française, à une époque où les anglais les plus riches venaient y passer l'hiver. Lors des années suivantes, il va naviguer entre Nice, Locarno et San Remo. En 1878, il devient le directeur du Grand Hôt...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
