Chard or Swiss chard is a green leafy vegetable. In the cultivars of the Flavescens-Group, the leaf stalks are large and prepared separately from the leaf blade; the leaf blade can reddish in color. Chard, like other green leafy vegetables, has nutritious leaves, making it a popular component of healthy diets. Chard has been used in cooking for centuries, but because of its similarity to beets and vegetables such as cardoon, the common names that cooks and cultures have used for chard may be confusing. Chard was first described in 1753 by Carl von Linné as Beta vulgaris var. cicla. Its taxonomic rank has changed many times, so it was treated as a subspecies, convariety, or variety of Beta vulgaris.. The accepted name for all beet cultivars, like chard, sugar beet and beetroot, is Beta vulgaris subsp. Vulgaris, they are cultivated descendants of the sea beet, Beta vulgaris subsp. Maritima. Chard belongs to the chenopods, which are now included in the family Amaranthaceae; the two rankless cultivar groups for chard are the Cicla-Group for the leafy spinach beet, the Flavescens-Group for the stalky Swiss chard.

The word "chard" descends from the 14th-century French carde, from Latin carduus meaning artichoke thistle. The origin of the adjective "Swiss" is unclear, since this coastal plant is not native to Switzerland; some attribute the name to it having been first described by a Swiss botanist, either Gaspard Bauhin or Karl Heinrich Emil Koch. Chard is used in traditional Swiss cuisine, namely in a dish called capuns from the canton of Grisons. Chard is a biennial. Clusters of chard seeds are sown, in the Northern Hemisphere, between June and October, depending on the desired harvesting period. Chard can be harvested while the leaves are young and tender, or after maturity when they are larger and have tougher stems. Harvesting is a continuous process. Raw chard is perishable. Cultivars of chard include green forms, such as'Lucullus' and'Fordhook Giant', as well as red-ribbed forms such as'Ruby Chard' and'Rhubarb Chard'; the red-ribbed forms are attractive in the garden, but as a general rule, the older green forms tend to outproduce the colorful hybrids.'Rainbow Chard' is a mix of colored varieties, mistaken for a variety unto itself.

Chard has shiny, ribbed leaves, with petioles that range from white to yellow to red, depending on the cultivar. Chard is a spring harvest plant. In the Northern Hemisphere, chard is ready to harvest as early as April and lasts through May, it is one of the hardier leafy greens, with a harvest season lasting longer than kale, spinach, or baby greens. When daytime temperatures start to hit 30 °C, the harvest season is coming to an end. Fresh chard can be used raw in salads, soups or omelets; the raw leaves can be used like a tortilla wrap. Chard leaves and stalks are boiled or sautéed. In a 100-g serving, raw Swiss chard provides 19 kilocalories of food energy and has rich content of vitamins A, K, C, with 122%, 1038%, 50% of the DV. Having significant content in raw chard are vitamin E and the dietary minerals, manganese and potassium. Raw chard has low content of carbohydrates, protein and dietary fiber; when chard is boiled and mineral contents are reduced compared to raw chard, but still supply significant proportions of the DV

Imbert du Puy was a French Cardinal of the fourteenth century. He was a nephew of Pope John XXII. Imbert du Puy was a Protonotary Apostolic. At the time of his elevation to the cardinalate Imbert Du Puy was Archdeacon of Langres. In his fourth Consistory for the creation of cardinals, held on 18 December 1327, Pope John XXII created ten new cardinals, among them Imbert Du Puy, he was named Cardinal Priest of the Basilica of the Twelve Apostles, unassigned since 1281. He was given a Prebend in the Cathedral of St. Paul's in the diocese of London in January 1328, but such a conflict arose at the time of the installation that the cathedral needed to be reconsecrated. Cardinal du Puy participated in the Conclave of 1334, which elected Pope Benedict XII, he was granted the Priory of Saintville in the diocese of Aix. Early in 1340, Cardinal Imbert was a member of a committee of cardinals, with Pierre Després of Palestrina and Napoleone Orsini of S. Adriano, to examine the election and suitability of Jean de Tréal, Abbot of Rothonensis in the diocese of Vannes.

The election was approved by Pope Benedict on 17 March 1340. He was elected Chamberlain of the College of Cardinals on 11 July 1340, in succession to Cardinal Pedro Gomez Barroso, he held the post until his death. In 1341 he was appointed by Pope Benedict XII to a committee of three cardinals to investigate the election and suitability of Giovanni Zaulini to be Archbishop of Antivari in Epirus; the Pope's final approval was given on 17 December 1341. In 1342, Cardinal du Puy resigned the Provostship of the church of Poson in the diocese of Esztergom, so that he could take up the parochial church of Saint-Paul de Frontiniano in the diocese of Maguelonne. Both appointments involved the care of souls, therefore two could not be held at the same time. Imbert du Puy participated in the Conclave of 1342, which elected Pope Clement VI. In the Spring of 1344 the Cardinal bought some fields with two farmhouses from King James of Majorca, Lord of Montpellier, the transaction was certified by King Philip VI of France on 19 June.

The purchase was no doubt intended as an investment becoming part of a foundation project. The Cardinal purchased the Hospital of the Teutonic Knights in Montpellier. There is a record of an amortization of one hundred librae of land to found and endow two chapels, one of them dedicated to the Holy Savior. In fact, the chapel was erected with twelve chaplains and twelve deacons; the transaction was registered with the King of France and approved in a bull by Pope Innocent VI. The Prior and Sacristan of the Collegiate Church were charged with the duty of maintaining hospitality in the Hospital of the Teutonic Knights, deeded to them as part of the foundation project. Cardinal Imbert du Puy died on 26 May 1348 in Avignon; the Bishop of Maguelonne, Arnaud de Verdale, was present at his deathbed. He left a Testament, the executor of, Cardinal Bertrand du Pouget, referred to in the documents concerning the Church of the Holy Savior. Of Cardinal Imbert the famous author of the lives of the Avignon popes, Étienne Baluze, remarks: "Neither nor afterward was he distinguished in the Curia, nor was he entrusted with a legation to any princes, however long a time he spent as a cardinal."

Matthias Reim composes, writes lyrics and plays songs himself; the music to some songs comes from the German composer and music producer Christoph Brüx, for example Das erste Mal. He composed for many other performers such as Bernhard Brink, Roberto Blanco, Jürgen Drews and Tina York, his first own LPs with his bands Fallen Dice and Fair Tax did not bring commercial success.

Reim's first – and largest – hit came out in 1990 – called "Verdammt, Ich lieb' dich". The single sold 2.5 million copies world-wide and was at the top of the pops of German charts for 16 weeks – between 18 May and 6 September – since 1971 no other single stood longer without interruption at place one but Matthias Reim shares this record with Boney M. The first album Reim was released soon after; until 1999, he published nine further albums with Polydor.
