Date 24 August 2000 Recent excavations in Structure II at Calakmul have shown that between 400 and 200 BCE a monument some 12m high was built here.

They are years rich in the wise teachings of our holy Mother, under whose guidance fervor was continuous; years of fast growth in the number of vocations, and of further development evidenced by the opening of twelve more Houses. Trials are not wanting: death is still claiming victims among the young Sisters, yet these occasions bring to light such virtue as to leave no doubt about the supernatural richness of the primitive spirit. As in the preceding volumes, the narrative follows a year by year pattern interspersed with brief indications of the various events, which, as already explained, correspond to the marginal notes of the original manuscript.

  • Rhine Valley
    RHINE VALLEY The Rhine Valley is storybook Germany, a fairytale world of legends and robber-baron castles. Cruise the most castle-studded stretch of the romantic Rhine as you listen for the song of the treacherous Loreley. Explore the castle-crowned villages of Bacharach and St. Goar. And for real hands-on castle thrills, roll or stroll through this Rhineland’s greatest castle, Rheinfels. Nearby destinations—Köln and Frankfurt—offer a modern, big- city German experience, and much better accessibility than those quaint Rhine villages. Köln is an urban Jacuzzi that keeps the Rhine churning. It’s home to Germany’s greatest Gothic cathedral and its best collection of Roman artifacts, a world-class art museum, and a healthy dose of German urban playfulness. And Frankfurt, while not on the Rhine, is the closest major transportation hub. Many Americans stream in to and out of Europe through Frankfurt’s huge airport—but consider staying for a while to check out the city’s lively square and gaze at its towering skyscrapers. Accessibility in the Rhine Valley The Rhine Valley is the least accessible destination covered in this book. Though beautiful and enticing, the Rhine Valley presents wheelchair riders with many barriers: steep hillside villages, lots of stairs and nar- row passageways, small train stations with stairs instead of elevators, and unevenly cobbled public spaces. Slow walkers have a few more options. The big city of Köln offers the best accessibility, from the train sta- tion and hotels to its best sights. From there, accessibility goes down as quaintness goes up: Mid-sized Rhine towns like Koblenz have more 18_RSEZA06_Rhine.indd 486 3/16/06 5:54:59 PM Rhine Valley 487 Rhine Overview barriers, and Bacharach and St.

Customer: Sebapharma GmbH & Co. KG Industry: Manufacturing Location: Bad Salzig, Germany Website: www.sebamed.de The new fully integrated Allied Telesis TAN solution lets us make network changes intuitively and rapidly, yet without risk. Helmut Stein Head of IT, Sebapharma GmbH & Co. KG The customer Founded in 1983, Sebapharma GmbH & Co. KG is the sales company for Sebamat GmbH, Herzpunkt Pharma GmbH, and Maurer Pharma GmbH. With the renowned brand sebamed, Sebapharma GmbH & Co. KG has had many years of success as a competent, innovative and performance-oriented company. Today the company has over 200 employees, makes more than 100 different products and has sales in over 80 countries. Sebamed—the world’s first “soap without soap” In 1952, Dr. Heinz Maurer worked at the University Clinic Bonn in Germany, helping patients suffering from acute eczema. Seeing how detrimental soap products were for patients sparked a search for a better alternative. Dr. Maurer created the first ever soap-free cleansing bar in 1967, called Sebamed, the first “soap without soap”—and with this he pioneered the medicinal skincare market in which Sebamed, stylized now as sebamed, remains a market leader to this day. Other copycat companies quickly followed suit, but their products were no match for sebamed. Quality prevailed then, and today it still does—sebamed today is a leading brand in medicinal skin care, and consistently holds a third of the market share in the field.

  • Soot Sayers: an Integrated Approach to Charcoal Production in Calakmul, Mexico
    SOOT SAYERS: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO CHARCOAL PRODUCTION IN CALAKMUL, MEXICO By SAM SCHRAMSKI A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Sam Schramski 2 To Don Eliseo Ek, a Calakmul institution unto himself 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Though not my first thesis undertaking in life, this is by far the most collaborative. Without the guidance from my supervisory committee, in particular my chair, Dr. Eric Keys, my research would have progressed little. Dr. Keys suffered the meanderings of someone non-geographical in his academic training stoically. The usual plaudits must also be given to my family, who suffered the meandering of someone nonsensical in his life training as well. Special credit must be given to my beleaguered undergraduate assistant, Thomas Felsmaier, whose spirited attempt at mapmaking really allowed me to call this a thesis in geography. Finally, credit must be given to the hardworking campesinos of Calakmul who provided me with endless surprises and dispelled some of my more rigid preconceptions. It is very difficult indeed to work with a city slickin’ güero who knows so little about country life. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.................................................................................................................... 4 LIST OF TABLES...............................................................................................................................

  • The Places of Faith: the Religious Hospitality in the Italian Sanctuaries in the Early Modern Age
    The places of faith: the religious hospitality in the Italian sanctuaries in the Early Modern Age Dr. Silvia Beltramo Politecnico di Torino, Italy [email protected] Biographies Silvia Beltramo is a researcher in Architectural History at the Politecnico di Torino and, from the same university, received a PhD in History and Critic of Architecture. In the 2012 she was selected as expert to examine applications for the Cultural Route of the Council of Europe certification. Her researches focuses on history of the architecture and the city in medieval and modern period; cultural heritage, cultural routes and tourism itineraries, cultural project for the promotion of local areas, territorial analysis and cultural identity. Abstract Since the Middle Ages, Northern Italy has been characterized as a territory of pilgrimages to monasteries, sanctuaries and Sacred Mounts. The sources testify a significant proliferation of hosteriae and hospitali in the main religious settlements, more precisely since the 12th century in the monasteries and since the 14th century in the sanctuaries. An authentic architecture of hospitality can be identified in the centres of Piedmont and Lombardy. The proposal, which is the outcome of a research in progress, intends to deepen in detail some meaningful examples amongst the main Italian sanctuaries – namely: Oropa (Piedmont), Tirano (Lombardy), Loreto (Marche) - analyzing the solutions adopted to host the wayfarers: the hospitality spaces which have characterized the architecture dedicated to pilgrims from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era. Introduction The strong affluence of pilgrims soon determined a veritable culture of hospitality, which was manifested by the building of new spaces dedicated to guest quarters.
