  • PI St Peter's Basilica
    www.osram.com 1/4 Press Munich, February 19, 2018 New lighting system for St. Peter’s Basilica taking shape Initial lighting tests show that illumination of the domes is 10 times brighter than before Planning for the new LED lighting system for the world’s largest church has entered its final phase: The lighting calculations and simulations have been successfully completed. In the basilica, the LED lighting system has been tested in many areas, and everyone involved is really pleased with the results. Tests show that the illumination level of the domes is 10 times brighter than before. The new indirect lighting system also eliminates unsightly drop shadows on the circular inscription, which is carved into the wall below the cornices of the basilica. “At St. Peter’s Basilica, we are able to demonstrate our lighting expertise once again,” says Olaf Berlien, CEO of OSRAM Licht AG. “A total of 700 custom-made luminaires with more than 100,000 powerful light-emitting diodes from Regensburg brilliantly illuminate this tremendous building in a way never seen before. And our technology will bathe individual works of art and statues at the Basilica in dazzling light.” “We are really pleased with the new lighting system for St. Peter's Basilica,” said Mons. Rafael De La Serrana Villalobos, Director Department Technical Services of the Governorate of the Vatican State (Servizi Tecnici del Governatorato dello Stato della Città del Vaticano). “During the first tests, we could clearly see details of artwork in the domes that we could only guess at in the past.” The innovative LED light sources will create an unforgettable visitor experience, much like the brilliant results achieved by Osram at the Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms.

  • List of Doctors and Hospitals in Baden-Württemberg
    List of Doctors and Hospitals in Baden-Württemberg The Frankfurt Consular District includes Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Baden-Württemberg Nordrhein-Westfalen and the Saarland in the Federal Republic of Germany. (July 2014) The following is only a partial list of English-speaking medical professionals in the Frankfurt Consular District. The choice of a physician is a personal matter and the American Consulate is not in a position to make specific recommendations. The American Consulate General assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons whose names appear on this list. The names are arranged alphabetically by city (according to field or specialty), and the order in which they appear has no significance. Important! American Citizens living or traveling abroad should be sure they have adequate medical insurance that will cover expenses incurred abroad. Medicare and Medicaid are only valid in the United States. Some private American medical insurance companies will pay for expenses abroad, but most require that the patient pay the bill first, then file for reimbursement. It is common practice in Germany for health care providers to expect payment up front before providing services to individuals not covered by the German health care system. The United States Consulate General does not have funding to help cover medical expenses of American citizens in Germany.

    Music, Performance, Architecture (Rome / Vatican City, 11–14 Dec 19) Rome / Vatican City, Dec 11–14, 2019 Tobias C. Weißmann Music, Performance, Architecture. Sacred Spaces as Sound Spaces in the Early Modern Period International and interdisciplinary conference Conference venues: German Historical Institute in Rome (12 December, 13 December morning) Biblioteca Vallicelliana (11 December afternoon) Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (13 December afternoon) S. Maria in Vallicella (11 December evening) Apostolic Palace (14 December morning) Concept and scientific organisation: Prof. Dr. Klaus Pietschmann and Dr. Tobias C. Weißmann (Research Project “CANTORIA – Music and Sacred Architecture”, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz) | German Historical Institute in Rome, Department of Music History Beginning in 15th century Italy, the polychoral musical performance practice and new compositio- nal developments in church music required the modification of venerable churches and the inte- gration of music spaces in new sacred buildings. This multifaceted change correlated with the rite and mass piety and enduringly affected the experience of liturgy and music. The most distinctive impact of this progress is epitomised by the installation of singer balconies and organ galleries on which top-class music ensembles and organists often performed and which served as stages for musical excellence. The permanent display of music advanced to become a core segment of sacred architecture while the potential of these spaces to promote identification becomes evident in numerous graffiti, as the singer pulpit in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican exemplifies. The conference explores the complex interdependencies between architecture, acoustics, musi- cal performance practice and rite in the interdisciplinary discourse between musicology, art and architecture history.

  • Calibration of Artificial Athlete Berlin/Stuttgart Summary Of
    Calibration of Artificial Athlete Berlin/Stuttgart Summary of Calibration Series Performed in 2000 1. Introduction and Rational The Artificial Athletes Berlin and Stuttgart were developed by the FMPA Stuttgart (Otto-Graf- Institut) of the University of Stuttgart around 1970. The tests, which are specified in the German standards DIN 18035-6 "Sports Grounds; Synthetic Surfaced Areas" and DIN 18032-2 "Sports Halls; Sports Surfaces – Requirements, Testing, Maintenance",. and have been adopted by various national and international bodies (FIH, IAAF, ASTM, ITF, CEN, FIFA, UEFA). Over the years, especially the past 10 years, modifications to these DIN standards have taken place, which were at times inconsistent, resulting in major questions and concerns regarding the proper design of the test apparatus, the test procedure, the evaluation of measurements and the accuracy of the test results. The IAAF Accredited Labs of the ISSS felt that the resolution of these uncertainties was crucial and, based on the lack of response by the DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung = German Institute of Standardization) to professional advice, took the initiative themselves to clarify the problems involved. As a first step, the ISSS called for papers analysing the structure of the Artificial Athletes and providing solutions for the pending problems. The submitted papers were received from Mark Harrison (GB), Dr. Konrad Binder (A), Dr. John Dunlop (AU) and Hans J. Kolitzus (D). The papers were published on ISSS's website www.isss.de. In a meeting held in Le Mans (F) in September 1999, the papers and problems were discussed in depth and a unanimous resolution was passed covering all open problems.
