Members of medieval knighthood they kept in hiding and secretly worship the Shroud of Turin for over a hundred years after the crusades - The Vatican announced on Sunday. This statement may be the answer to the question, where she admired a precious relic of this period, the "missing" in the chronicles.
Knights Templar - the law which at the beginning of the fourteenth century had been suspended on suspicion of committing heresy (though just allegations of the Templars were later rehabilitated) - to store linen cloth with the image of a bearded man with long hair and the traces corresponding to the description of the wounds of crucifixion. Shroud, now kept in the cathedral of Turin, for centuries was considered to be the burial cloth in which they wrapped Jesus' body (though himself a facial image is known only since 1898, when a photographer did his picture and caused negative). Professor Barbara Frale, researcher at the Vatican Secret Archives, said that the Shroud disappeared after the looting of Constantinople in 1204, during the Fourth Crusade - and again "appeared" only in the mid-fourteenth century. Writes Professor. Frale in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, historians always wondered what happened to him by these 150 years. During the Italian research scientist came across a document written by a man named Arnaut Sabbatiera, a young Frenchman admitted to the Knights Templar in 1287 year. He recalls that during the initiation ritual was led "to a secret place to which they had access only to the Knights of the Temple." There shown him "a long strip of linen material, in which one could see the silhouette of a man." The candidate gave honor three times, kissing the place where the feet were reflected. Prof. Frale recalled that among the allegations which ultimately led to process and resolve the Order, in addition to sodomy appeared as "the worship of idols, among other things," a bearded ". In fact, as the scholar, the Templars is the Shroud of worship. Probably saved him from Constantinople, not allowing that fell into the hands of the heretical groups such as Catharism, who said among other things, that Christ was not a real human body, and therefore could not die on the cross and resurrected. These findings seem to confirm the theory of the British historian Ian Wilson, formulated already in 1978. Order of the Templars was founded in the eleventh century during the First Crusade to protect Christian pilgrims to Jerusalem. Initially, the law enjoyed strong support from the Pope, but later - after the fall of Acre in 1291 - the Templars lost their seat in the Holy Land, and support began to wane. Knights of the increasingly envied the wealth and influence. Rumors began to appear to discredit them - it was whispered, for example, that during the secret initiation ceremonies, candidates were to deny Christ three times, spit on the cross, strip naked, kissing champion in the buttocks, navel, and lips, and practice sodomy. French king Philip IV, who looked with envy at the wealth of the law (and he had considerable debts to him ...) and imprisoned its leaders pressured Pope Clement V, that has achieved suppression of the Templars. The Pope has Philip. Many knights, among other things, the then Grand Master James de Molay, burned at the stake. The legend of secret rituals and hidden treasures of the Templars began to live their own lives, inspiring both the conspiracy theory of history enthusiasts, as well as writers (up to Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code "). In 2003, Professor. Barbara Frale, Vatican expert in the field of medieval history, she found a document from the process of the Templars, called the Chinon parchment - for centuries considered to be lost - which, as it turned out, all the time was among other documents, but has been poorly classified. That document shows that Pope Clement V found the Templars guilty "grave sins" (such as corruption), but cleared them of accusations of sexual abuse and heresy. It turned out that actually Templar initiation ceremonies include an element of "spitting on the cross" - but went to play a scene, they came to the Knights of the Temple would be repeated in case of capture by the Saracens (on the ground instead of the cross, and denial of Christ in words, while maintaining fidelity in the heart). Last year taught the first published text of the prayer, which "unjustly imprisoned" knights to Our Lady, asking for the intentions of their enemies, so you "have abandoned their lies and turned to truth and mercy." Dating the Turin Shroud by carbon isotope C14 in 1988 showed that the canvas is a medieval artifact. Later, however, undermined the results of these studies because the authors did not take into account the impact of fire, in which the Shroud was damaged, and who could manipulate the amount of the isotope C14 in the fabric. After looting the Shroud of Constantinople disappeared - it was only in 1353 year Lirey, France, where he was listed in a local church by the heirs of Geoffroy de Charney, Templar burned at the stake together with Jacob de Molay. Later, the Shroud of "traveling" to various European cities until the sixteenth century became the property (or rather - the care of) and found the dynasty of Savoy in Turin. Since 1983, the relic is officially owned by the Apostolic See. The last time I was issued for public view in 2000, again to be shown in 2010. Vatican does not comment publicly on whether the Shroud is genuine, leaving the decisions of the believer. The late Pope John Paul II said that he is "an icon of innocent suffering throughout history." Self-proclaimed heirs of the Templars turned to the Pope asking for "rehabilitate and restore the good name of" Knights of the Temple, and the recognition that they confiscated goods worth (calculated) of about 80 million pounds (about 390 million). Independent association of the Order of the Temple of Christ, based in Spain, argues that at the time of the suspension order almost 9 thousand different goods belonging to the knights - among other earthly possessions and factories - was taken over by the Church. The British branch of the Association also demands an apology from Rome for the unjust persecution of the Order.

Computer interfaces on the movies
Each of us knows it by heart. car supermarket DMC Poland previews.famous-car.co.uk The main character goes to the computer. Palm-sized icons so that you can not make mistakes. At this point rings out loud "you've got mail!" And on the screen (immediately), there is mail. Times New Roman, 200 pixels. To make things easier to read, of course. Mail, of course, is proof of her husband's betrayal, but do not I write about this.
I would like to write about computer interfaces in the car supermarket Otimizaçao de sites no Google reviews.marvelous-car.co.uk world of reality film. The same in which everyone falls from blows to the back of the head, which is always good handcuffs removed, and the outbreak of the hero turns up in your face. But with computers, the computers had to write:) I know that everything has a reason, that if the computers look like in reality, all this would be illegible, or boring, but ... you can laugh after all! So I set off brain cells, it complemented the results www.touring-car.co.uk used cars reviews.great-auto.co.uk of the search in necie and voilla!
As I have already written, the majority of computer users use huge fonts. In the TV series characters are still colorful. Regardless of whether a text editor or a program to handle mail. Font must be huge! After all, so easier to read!
A hacker must have a black background. It's clear. Otherwise there would be a hacker. We also know that a font must be green. As in Matrixie. Actually, there is no other possibility. Well I like white background terminal? Necessarily. Does anyone else see a login? Password course, never is a random string of characters and just a little effort to make them guess. First two (red!) ACCESS DENIED subtitles (and audio bzzzz), the third time ACCESS GRANTED. Green, of course. And the sound (ping!). Alternatively, the female voice interface. Nice! We're in! Any self-respecting company, whether in the near future or even now, must have a 3D visualization. Well how can I without them? Best show the grid mesh (after every show faces, since wireframe view is that cyber-wonderful?) Mandatory green. Well, we reported earlier that it is the color of hackers! In addition to the visualization of 3D interfaces appear (Minority Report). In total, good concept. But why is Tom Cruise in the film looks like Shwarzenneger? 8 hours waving hands, it must be something!
