  Liechtenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Principality of Liechtenstein (German: Fürstentum Liechtenstein) is a small, doubly landlocked country in Western Europe, bordered by Switzerland to its west and by Austria to its east.
However, the economic devastation caused by that conflict forced the country to conclude a customs and monetary union with its other neighbour, Switzerland; since the Army was disbanded in 1868, Defense is also the responsibility of the Military of Switzerland.
The country's rails are administered by the Austrian Federal Railways as part of the route between Feldkirch, Austria, and Buchs SG, Switzerland.

In a cross-cultural comparison in multicultural Switzerland, the potential for social inclusion of the green spaces of Geneva, Lugano and Zurich has been investigated.
The potential and the limitations of participatory planning of urban forests, parks and trees have been assessed and also the question whether urban green spaces are in a position to integrate members of different social, and mostly marginal groups.
In a first phase the social potential per green space catchment area of the investigated major cities of Switzerland was estimated with the help of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) correlating green space and socio-demographic data.

 Goetschy Colony
The leader of this Colony was the Rev. Maurice Goetschy, whose son, John Henry, became pastor at Goshenhoppen in 1735.
He acknowledged that he had been guilty of immorality, but expressed the hope that as the authorities in Zurich had dealt leniently with Goetschy, simply dismissing him as a minister, so the Dutch people would find him worthy to send him out as their missionary.
Whether this letter reached Holland before the time of the departure of the emigrants is doubtful, as Ludwig Weber states in his report that after his return to Switzerland he heard that the party had left Holland on February 24, 1735.

The biggest subject on the front burner in the herb community since last November is the question of the potential hepatotoxicity of kava (Piper methysticum Forst, Piperaceae).
While only the acetone extracts were removed from the Swiss market at this time, the government gave manufacturers of ethanolic extracts three years to market these products and monitor their safety to see if any liver problems were reported.
In addition, all manufacturers of ethanolic extracts in Switzerland have been asked to substantiate safety by conducting new toxicological and clinical trials, which may pose a significant financial challenge to these (mostly small) companies.

Liver-related risks associated with the use of kava have prompted regulatory agencies in other countries, including those in Germany, Switzerland, France, Canada, and the United Kingdom, to take action ranging from warning consumers about the potential risks of kava use to removing kava-containing products from the marketplace.
Also, FDA informs healthcare professionals that products containing herbal extracts of kava have been implicated in Europe in at least 25 cases of serious liver toxicity including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver failure.
Based on their assessment of the adverse events reported to them, the regulatory authority in Switzerland has prohibited the sale of products containing the kava extract associated with the adverse effects.

 Kava safety questioned due to case reports of liver toxicity
At least 28 cases of liver toxicity associated with the use of kava have been reported in Switzerland (4) and Germany (24), prompting regulatory actions by authorities.
The hepatic adverse event reports (AERs) in these cases include cholestatic hepatitis (inflamed liver with obstruction of bile flow), icterus (jaundice), increased liver enzymes (a sign of liver dysfunction), liver cell impairment, severe hepatitis with confluent necrosis, and irreversible liver damage (required transplant in four cases).
It should come as no surprise that the initial reports in Switzerland pertain to the acetone kava extract; since it dominates the market there with an approximately 80—85 percent share.

 Erowid Kava Vault : US FDA Warns that Kava may be a Liver Load
Following Canada, Germany, Switzerland, and a few other countries, the United States Food and Drug Aministration (FDA) issued a warning to kava users that kava may be a liver load and could cause problems for people with liver dysfunction.
The FDA's primary recommendation is that people who have liver dysfunction or use drugs which load the liver should consult their doctor before using kava: ", persons who have liver disease or liver problems, or persons who are taking drug products that can affect the liver, should consult a physician before using kava-containing supplements."
To help us determine whether there is a problem in the United States, we are asking that you review your cases of liver toxicity to determine if any may be related to the use of kava-containing dietary supplements.
