In the middle Greselin aims to return to the starting position in place of Basanisi, with Boccia which could take the place of Grilli as left midfielder. Confirmed Maldonado in the control room and Kharmoud on the left wing, while on the right the ballot is open between diodate e Stickler, with the first favorite. In any case, regardless of the men who will take to the field, a high-level performance is needed to interrupt a negative streak that has brought a few clouds to the orange horizon. Predictions aside, Pedrelli's band will have to play the classic spirited game and take advantage of their greater hunger for points. It's true, the calendar smiles on the yellow and blues (who in the last three will face Zenith Prato, Cittadella Vis Modena and Corticella), but a positive result today against Tau would mean mortgaging the salvation with three days to spare: this would be an extraordinary result for a newly promoted team. Science reporter Ann Gibbons has received the Society for American Archaeology's annual Gene S Stuart Award for her behind-the-scenes coverage of an archaeological investigation at an ancient Italian burial ground The award recognizes Gibbons' reporting in 'The Thousand-Year Graveyard,' a special multimedia story featuring the ongoing work of archaeologists to uncover secrets about medieval European life from the bones of monks soldiers and travelers buried at the Badia Pozzeveri graveyard in Altopascio the online piece is Science's first mixed-media project of this scale News Editor Tim Appenzeller said he was eager and enthusiastic to incorporate more video and digital storytelling techniques into the journal's online coverage "I think we're getting the award for the quality of story itself but we're also very proud of the way we told it "To stand out from the crowd I think you need to do stories that are distinctive and the way to do that is to produce reporting that no one else has." led by Deputy News Editor Elizabeth Culotta believed the complex story could best be told online with the support of image slideshows the multimedia helped explain the historical significance of the region and illustrate the investigative techniques used to examine the lives of the people buried over a thousand-year period near the now-decrepit Abbey of St "It's obviously a delicious story about health and disease in ancient times it was a crossroads for pilgrims and armies so it had a lot of rich historical context," said Appenzeller "But also we saw a chance to do a story about how science works." Team members included producer Dan Berger archaeologists from Ohio State University and the University of Pisa hope to unearth more clues about disease epidemics Stuart Award recognizes the author of the most interesting and outstanding original newspaper or magazine story published in the past year that enhances the public understanding of archaeology Gibbons received $2,000 and a plaque at an awards ceremony on Friday 25 April at the Society for American Archaeology's annual meeting Our ability to provide a voice for scientists and engineers and to advance science depends on the support from individuals like you Give together we can be a united voice for scientific progress.  Join The Embassy of Malta in Spain, together with the Malta Tourism Authority, Heritage Malta, and XirCammini (Malta’s official association representing the Camino de Santiago de Compostela) has announced that following months of work and collaborative effort Malta is now connected to the world-famous Camino de Santiago de Compostela the renowned ancient Spanish pilgrimage routes still used to this day the routes all lead to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela Malta was also inadvertently a place of transit for pilgrims including those going to the Holy Land and to Compostela there is also a 14th-century connection between Malta and the Order of St in the form of documents written by King Frederick IV of Sicily on November 18 Although the earliest Christian pilgrimages were to sites associated with the birth this later spread to other Loca Sancta (i.e. Holy Places) associated with the Madonna or early saints The following are some examples of how certain pilgrimage routes developed in medieval times: Frankish and Norman roads primarily across continental Europe also facilitated the spread of Caminos from the as far west as Great Britain and further to the east to present-day Asia Minor and Georgia One finds among the oldest pilgrimage routes in Christianity the pilgrimage to the Holy Lands (then Palestine Santiago de Compostela (especially as the Spanish Reconquista started gaining ground and the Crusaders also lost the Holy Lands) over 50 routes across some 20 countries in Europe have been identified the European Union and various national funds and initiatives have greatly aided the development of several of these routes as they were increasingly recognized as unifying cultural and historical forces transcending even national boundaries.  Tradition claims that James preached the Gospel in 40 AD in the Iberian peninsula He was the first apostle to be martyred and (again according to tradition) his body was taken from the Holy Land to what was then Iliria Flavia Pelayo (a hermit) was following a guiding star when he was said to have discovered the tomb of St King Alfonso II ordered that a church be built there James grew mostly during the Aragonese (and later Spanish) rule in Malta and during the time of the Knights of St There are altars and paintings dedicated to the saint in the cathedral and several churches on the island One of the city streets during the time of the Knights was named after St James and on the 25th of July the Knights of St John held a procession from the church of St James to the cathedral with relics of the saint In the liber bullarum (records of the Order of St John) there is also evidence of an early 17th-century credencial issued by Grandmaster Alof de Wignacourt to a hermit Paul’s Grotto in Rabat and asked for permission to visit holy sites in Europe including “San Giacomo in Galitia.” the more than 1,000-year-old pilgrim route now includes the Camino Maltes de Santiago de Compostela (in short which will soon be available for both local and international pilgrims to undertake by land and sea The 3,600-kilometer Camino Maltes connects Malta to Sicily The beauty of the Camino Maltes is that it is four Caminos wrapped into one The Maltese segment will be from Mdina/Rabat through some of the old villages and parishes that existed in the 16th and 17th centuries to Fort St the Camino connects to Caltagirone (a city associated with devotion to St James) and traverses the East of Sicily to the Sanctuary of St From there the route continues mainly on Frankish roads to Palermo From Cagliari the Camino continues on the route of the Camin St Jacu of Sardinia through to Porto Torres in the North of the island Once there a pilgrim would take the Camino Catalan all the way to Santiago de Compostela The Camino Maltes, which has been accepted and endorsed by the competent authorities on historical grounds, will provide a unique experience for pilgrims to revisit a route that dates to the 16th century. Moreover, the Maltese Camino complements the work of the Malta Tourism Authority in promoting Malta's ancient Christian faith and supporting related entities and activities thus expanding the Archipelago's potential as an international hub for faith tourism Articles like these are sponsored free for every Catholic through the support of generous readers just like you Please make a tax-deductible donation today Help us continue to bring the Gospel to people everywhere through uplifting Catholic news FEZZANESE: Agolli, Specchia (85' Rosaia), Martera, Carli, Corrado M., Medusei, Corrado S., Costa, Perez Mendez (56' Cristodaro), Fiori G.

The prospect of playing a match that was particularly heartfelt by both sets of fans with such limitations had generated some controversy: the president of Chiesina, Pierluigi Carmignani, had said he was sorry and had pointed out that the previous match with Giovani Via Nova had attracted 200 spectators. The president of Pescia, Alessandro Lucherini, had for his part made it known that he had asked for an exemption on the capacity and had received a negative opinion. The start of the season that is now ending was Sunday, September 8: a slow start for the Galletti, who were forced to a goalless draw at Morgagni by the usual bête noire Sammaurese. Then three consecutive victories (two away from home), with second place two points behind the surprising Tau Altopascio who on October 6, on the fifth day, widened the gap to +5 by beating Galletti 2-1. At this point Forlì flies to +5 from Ravenna: the worst is done. Until the triumph on Thursday when the referee's final whistle at 16,57 sanctions the 1-0 over Pistoiese and the triumph of 'Record-breaking team'.
