The Unedited Collection of Letters of Blessed Marcantonio Durando by Luigi Chierotti, C.M. Province of Turin Fr. Durando never wrote a book, nor published one, except for an “educative” pamphlet, written for an Institute of the Daughters of Charity at Fontanetta Po. His collection of letters, however, is a veritable “monument,” and a mine of information on civil and religious life, on the spiritual direction of persons, of the dispositions of governance for the works, etc., from 1831-1880. Today his correspondence is collected in eight large volumes, typewritten, and photocopied, with an accompanying analytical index. I spent a long time working like a Carthusian, in order to transcribe the texts of the “original” letters, the notes, and the reports.

Introduction The history of the project of the New Railway Line Turin-Lyon, shortened as NLTL and currently known as high-speed train Turin- Lyon (named TAV Turin-Lyon), saw a lot of stakeholders that interacted, exchanged, conflicted and overlapped. The first part of this paper aims at understanding the evolution/origin of the project in order to clarify the role of the Italian and French stakeholders involved. Then, the paper continues with the description of the main steps of the history of TAV project. In these steps will be underlined the moments in which some stakeholders have been involved in incidents of lawlessness and corruption. 2.

The project foresees the construction of a transalpine tunnel 50 km long as a part of the future railway line between East and West Europe (Number Five Corridor3).

Environmental and Social Data Sheet
Luxembourg, 1.9.2020 Public Environmental and Social Data Sheet Overview Project Name: Iren Green Energy Loan Project Number: 2020-0397 Country: Italy Project Description: Financing of the Promoter's 2021-2025 investments to expand and renovate the district heating network in Turin. EIA required: yes Project included in Carbon Footprint Exercise1: yes (details for projects included are provided in section: “EIB Carbon Footprint Exercise”) Environmental and Social Assessment Environmental Assessment The Promoter is upgrading and extending the district heating network in Turin and surrounding metropolitan areas with the aim of integrating the existing sub-networks. The investments within the Programme can be grouped into seven areas, based on the geographical location and/or the goal. The extension and improvement of the district heating network is also an integral part of the solution to reduce the local air pollution. Turin saturation (storage + saturation): the investments consist in the completion of t he works to the new heat storage facility of Mirafiori Nord (2500 m3), and in the expansion of the district heating network to new users. The expansion consists in developing principally “last mile” pipelines. Torino Nord (expansion): the investments consist in the creation of a structural backbone to transport heat to new areas. Vallette network (refurbishment): the investments aim at refurbishing the old network operating at 60oC, by upgrading it to the standard 90oC /120oC. The upgrade allows to increase the reliability and quality of heat supply, while reducing the energy and carbon 1 Only projects that meet the scope of the Carbon Footprint Exercise, as defined in the EIB Carbon Footprint Methodologies, are included, provided estimated emissions exceed the methodology thresholds: 20,000 tonnes CO2e/year absolute (gross) or 20,000 tonnes CO2e/year relative (net) – both increases and savings.

Who Is the Man of the Holy Shroud Tri

The human blood on the Shroud is Type AB. This rare blood type matches the stains on another known relic, Crucifixion Nails the Sudarium of Oviedo, which many believe to be the cloth that covered the face of Jesus as he was taken down from the Roman Lance cross. In addition to sharing the same blood type, forensic Roman Flagrum experts have identified blood stains that perfectly match on both cloths. This is significant because the Sudarium has been in Oviedo, Spain since the year 611, so any point of contact between the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo would have occurred before the seventh century.

A Critical Summary of Observations, Data and Hypotheses
TThhee SShhrroouudd ooff TTuurriinn A Critical Summary of Observations, Data and Hypotheses If the truth were a mere mathematical formula, in some sense it would impose itself by its own power. But if Truth is Love, it calls for faith, for the ‘yes’ of our hearts. Pope Benedict XVI Version 4.0 Copyright 2017, Turin Shroud Center of Colorado Preface The purpose of the Critical Summary is to provide a synthesis of the Turin Shroud Center of Colorado (TSC) thinking about the Shroud of Turin and to make that synthesis available to the serious inquirer. Our evaluation of scientific, medical forensic and historical hypotheses presented here is based on TSC’s tens of thousands of hours of internal research, the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP) data, and other published research. The Critical Summary synthesis is not itself intended to present new research findings. With the exception of our comments all information presented has been published elsewhere, and we have endeavored to provide references for all included data. We wish to gratefully acknowledge the contributions of several persons and organizations. First, we would like to acknowledge Dan Spicer, PhD in Physics, and Dave Fornof for their contributions in the construction of Version 1.0 of the Critical Summary. We are grateful to Mary Ann Siefker and Mary Snapp for proofreading efforts. The efforts of Shroud historian Jack Markwardt in reviewing and providing valuable comments for the Version 4.0 History Section are deeply appreciated. We also are very grateful to Barrie Schwortz (Shroud.com) and the STERA organization for their permission to include photographs from their database of STURP photographs.
