Into this milieu have stepped Sister Katherine and other religious, priests and lay people who hope to bring a modern Catholic ministry to a modern Camino. The Spanish beer Estrella Galicia even introduced a special brew, Estrellas del Camino, in 2021 in honor of the Jacobean Holy Year, which is any year in which the feast of St. Spain’s national and regional tourist offices promote the Camino, and Spanish businesses strive to associate their products with it. To begin with, fewer and fewer pilgrims identify as Christians or have explicitly religious motives for walking the Way. James’s tomb inevitably incorporates aspects related to the more secular society the Camino wanders through. The connection between the Catholic Church and the Camino has never been broken, but the modern version of the pilgrimage to St. Many Americans set out in late summer when the intensity of the Spanish sun wanes and temperatures cool. Now, for over a decade, some 300,000 pilgrims a year have reached Santiago de Compostela by foot, horse or bicycle. In the 1980s, the footpath was re-established, and basic, cheap accommodations-many run by volunteers-were built through grassroots efforts in collaboration with both the Spanish government and the Catholic Church. Eventually, the original paths, including old Roman roads friendly to foot traffic, were paved over to make way for automobiles.Ĭhristian Welcome on the Way ia an effort to preserve the deepest religious meaning of the Camino de Santiago and help pilgrims in their encounter with God.īeginning in the 1960s, the Santiago pilgrimage and its route underwent a revival that continues to this day. It was among the most frequented sanctuaries in Europe from the 11th century until the early 19th century. James is a collection of the medieval routes through northern France and Spain to the cathedral in the city of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain, where tradition holds the apostle St. James in English, and help pilgrims in their encounter with God. Sister Katherine’s ministry is part of the Acogida Cristiana en el Camino (Christian Welcome on the Way), an effort by the Catholic Church to preserve the deepest religious meaning of the Camino de Santiago, the Way of St. James and making the return to everyday life. With Sister Katherine, they were able to talk through their experience and its unique lessons before leaving the sanctuary of St. Like so many other pilgrims-over 200,000 so far this year-they had taken to the 500-mile pilgrimage route across Spain pondering deeply personal questions, seeking insight through the journey or simply wanting time to reflect and encounter God. “They wanted to just show how much they appreciated being given the companionship and the support of each other,” Sister Katherine said. Not a future together-”They knew that wasn’t right for them because they had families they had commitments”-but a future that reflected the impact of the Camino on their lives. “They came to talk about their future,” Sister Katherine, a member of the Faithful Companions of Jesus and part of the Camino Companions ministry, said. With Sister Katherine, they are able to talk through their experience. Pilgrims take the 500-mile Camino de Santiago seeking insight through the journey or simply wanting time to reflect and encounter God. Katherine O’Flynn, F.C.J., met them at the pilgrim s reception office in Santiago de Compostela. They walked together for the rest of the journey. After some 400 miles of walking the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, they had both finally met-“the pilgrim with two rings.” One evening at an albergue, as the lodging houses and hostels along the Camino are called, meeting pilgrims they had not met before, the widow and the widower each noticed the other’s hand. They were the pilgrims with the two rings, each wearing their own wedding band next to the wedding band of their recently deceased spouse-each, the widow and widower, walking Spain’s Camino de Santiago separately.Īs pilgrims met, passed each other, fell behind and caught up again, many heard and spread the tale of “the pilgrim with two rings.” 11/21/2023 0 Comments Alfred beginner pianoThe Music Space may provide means to return an item at no cost to you or an alternate remedy.

Smaller rocks were painstakingly removed by hand, and boulders were airlifted out by helicopter. The Shut-Ins served as a natural dam and slowed the flow of muck and debris, but plenty still got in. When the torrent off Profitt Mountain reached the East Fork of the Black River, it lost velocity and split to the north and south, Slivka said. Despite the efforts, some non-native, exotic species have entered the wetlands, and only time will tell if the fen and their native plant and aquatic life will survive. They covered nine acres of ground that way, 6 inches at a time. Workers used vacuum cleaners to remove three feet of sand and silt deposits on the fen, which had to be cleaned up by mid-March's greening at the risk of losing any new life. Ken McCarty, natural resource manager for the Department of Natural Resources' state parks division, said the disaster left the park so unrecognizable that he had to call his office for global positioning system points just to find the park's unusual and fragile wetland communities called fen. Video interviews at the Black River Center of those leading the park's restoration reveal how tough their challenge was.

The breach's force of water also created a 7,000-foot scour channel that exposed eons of geologic history that has become a living classroom for geology students, DNR spokesman Judd Slivka said. The breach gave the park a permanent collection of dolomite, rhyolite and granite boulders - some the size of cars - that tumbled down off the mountain, and either ended up or were moved to a field across from the center, and that are now part of the park's interpretive history. Workers spent the first hours after the breach looking for the family's belongings, even finding his wife's wedding dress. The house was in the path of the torrent, but Toops and his family somehow survived.

Organic and Bird-Friendly Maple recognition) across Vermont has also helped to ensure that sugarbushes are managed in a more environmentally-friendly manner - with sugarers working to maintain structural and ecological diversity in their forests. Meanwhile, the creation and widespread adoption of new certification and recognition programs (e.g., U.S.D.A. This adds up to a lot less time spent tending the sugarhouse, and more time spent enjoying the syrup we love so much! In fact, reverse osmosis machines can reduce boiling times (and thus energy expenditure) by 60-70% based on brix concentration (aka - the amount of dissolved solids, like sucrose, in the sap). This allows maple producers to dramatically reduce the amount of water they have to evaporate from the sap in order to produce the final maple products we love so much. Using a combination of fine, semipermeable membranes and an electronic pump system - reverse osmosis machines separate water from the sugar, minerals, and other suspended solids in the maple sap. To illustrate an example of just how profoundly technology has transformed Vermont’s sugaring operations, consider the reverse osmosis machine. The adoption of new technologies - including reverse osmosis machines, plastic tubing, vacuum systems and more efficient evaporators has allowed for continued growth in maple syrup production. Over the years, the industry has undergone some dramatic changes with the adoption of new time and energy saving technologies, scientific and ecological forest management practices, and the expansion and diversification of the maple sugaring market. Be sure you have sufficient room to grow one of these beauties before planting sugar maple trees – they grow to 74 feet (22.5 m.) tall and 50 feet (15 m.) wide.Maple sugaring has a long history in North America - a history spanning thousands of years since Indigenous communities first learned when and how to harvest maple sap and refine it into maple sugar.

Ten years ago, reaching a wide audience wouldn’t have even made the radar at most game companies. “If you have a diverse team, you can create a game that satisfies a much wider audience than if you have a homogeneous team.” James Cheng / “Because everyone out there experiences games differently,” says Tracy Rosenthal-Newsom, senior producer at Harmonix Music Systems, the company that created the “Guitar Hero” franchise. So what difference does it make if the people who make those games are overwhelmingly white, male and young? “Women are playing games now, in part because computers are much more part of our lives,” says Bradshaw. And women make up 42 percent of all online gamers, according to a recent study from the NPD Group. Women gamers comprise 38 percent of all players, says the Entertainment Software Association. If you think those stats mirror the percentage of gamers that are female, think again.

Generative AI tools trained on large swaths of data make plenty of mistakes, but Adobe's customers could prove more forgiving since many of them are exploring ideas. Generative AI's impressive abilities to mimic human output burst into the public consciousness in 2022 with the arrival of OpenAI's ChatGPT, a text-based chatbot. wonder if this says anything about Adobe's confidence in a more direct Firefly monetization approach," he said in the report. He had expected Adobe to charge for a standalone Firefly subscription, though, not to have it folded into the overall Creative Cloud prices. UBS analyst Karl Keirstead estimated in a report Thursday that Adobe will generate $400 million to $500 million in new revenue from the price increase in the company's next fiscal year. It's a cloud-based service, so there's reason to expect Adobe will make good on promises of improvements as it retrains Firefly for better results.
