Meditation on the blade

In Moscow Kremlin museums opened exhibition "C amurai"

This is the first tour to Russia Tokyo National Museum, the oldest in Japan and one of the leaders in the world.

In the coming two months will Borovitsky hill stormed thirst for Japan to join the culture, fashion which engulfed the entire world (as rumoured haves Russians already acquired there for millions Samuraj blades). In museums of the Kremlin decided to deal seriously, who is the samurai, first came to a Russian art context kinoekrana thanks to Akira Kurosawa. At the exhibition, we see them not only as warriors, chtyaschih bushido code of honour, but as actors and playwrights theater, as intellectuals, write poetry, trained calligraphy, music and dance.

In Moscow, arrived more than 70 monuments, telling people about the culture of samurai over ten centuries. At the same time brought the work of Chinese rarities, which analogues in China itself is not preserved.

Legendary ancient blades, frightening helmets, armour haluta Construction of the Assumption in the belfry, each separated in a separate window, that nothing prevents consider it in detail. The Japanese appreciated the skilful filing, invented in Moscow: the details were clearly visible, which in Tokyo skradyvaet weak lighting (such rules storage!). There swords only mysterious flickering in polutme, while in the Kremlin they literally zasiyali on white fabric stands in the form of Mount Fuji.

Even in the long-term programme "Royal and Imperial treasures in the Moscow Kremlin, are rarities and masterpieces of the Louvre, Palace Museum in Beijing and other famous palaces, museums, the project stands at a special place.

As soon as relics of national stories, frightening Japanese holy trembling, never export from countries of the rising sun. Judge for yourselves: three blades, headed the list in 1719 in the celebrated swords - but they were collected in Japan with the XV century, with much holding in palaces - two are now in the Kremlin. Forged in the XIII century master Sukedzane sword tattoo is the official status of National Treasures (such items in Japan more than a thousand). Two other ancient miracle designer thought centenary younger: Catalan work Masamune and tatami from Moritsugu - the "cultural heritage of special importance." Near - relic in 1000, the oldest surviving in the country Yasutsuna sword master. Meditate, you can compare the nuances in slowly bend and the length of blades, blades razglyadyvat on sophisticated "soul warrior" hamon (this line, outlines of hardened blade), author-ski inscriptions patterns "wood fibers" and "sea waves" ...

But is there even such sophisticated weaponry to defeat a warrior, protected nature - armour XV century, where mobile thin plate of iron and bovine skin ingenious opleteny colourful silk cord?

When the onset of peace in Japan, craftsmen switched to toy with armor-transformer. In the Patriarch's Palace iron serpentine dragon opens the "peace" section of the exhibition. Outside the battlefield soldiers were needed masks and costumes with gold embroidery theater, but written devices, attributes the tea ceremony (from bamboo spoons four centuries keeps the name of his creator). In peacetime valued scenic landscapes on screen, uzorchatye ladies' silk dress, gilded boxes for drugs - primarily finesse.

Resigned from the life of Yuri Rytheu

In recent years, on Yurii Rytheu Russian media wrote infrequently. It is a pity that only the death of the writer has reason to recall it - the founder of Chukchi literature, the author of many novels, short stories, analytical pieces, kinostsenariev.

His life itself could be a fascinating story for the film. Born in 1930 in the family hunter, young Rytheu (this was the name given to the boy at birth) after the end of Seven decided to depart from the village of Uelen in Leningrad - to learn. The road to the northern capital has long. The young man floated an engine on the Bering Sea, walked into the mountains with a geological expedition, participated in zveroboynom fishing was gidrobazy loader. When it was time to get a passport, made his name Rytheu name and the name and patronymic - Yuri Sergeyevich - he "gave" a geologist familiar.

Write Rytheu already begun in Anadyr - essays and poems to local newspapers. Leningrad scientist P. Skorik, a former Chukotka linguistically expedition, helped talented young man to get to Leningrad. Rytheu first stories appeared in print even when he studied at university. And then, already working in Magadan, dvadtsatishestiletny writer has published "Chukotskuyu saga", which made him famous in Russia and abroad.

Writing Rytheu fate in Soviet Russia successfully evolved. Because under his pen came out one after another - and published! -- Books: novels, collections of short stories and poems, novels and essays. In 1958-1967 he worked. was written autobiography trilogy, telling about the fate of an entire generation "Time melting snows". At the same time have been set up story "Nunivak" (1963), "Magic mittens" (1963), novels "In the valley Malenkih Zaychikov" (1962), "Ayvangu" (1964), "The most beautiful ships" (1967). In the seventies also released a number of novels and novels - "Son in the early fog" (1970), "Iney on the threshold" (1971), Metatelnitsa harpoon "(1973)," Snow White "(1975)," Arctic Circle "(1977 ), "End of permafrost" (1977), "Magic number" (1986), "The Island of Hope" (1987). At the same time created scripts to films, essays, poetry collections.
Rytheu not only wrote about Chukotka, but also translate to Chuukese language classics of Russian and world literature. In fact, he was the founder and sole representative Chukchi literature.

His work and talent was appreciated not only the Soviet government (Rytheu was awarded the Order "Badge of Honor" and the State Prize) and readers, but also a fellow of peru. After the first publications abroad Rytheu received a telegram from Hemingway: "Keep!" It's amazing, but success in the West not led to any persecution Soviet motherland. Rytheu quite easily managed to travel abroad, to communicate with writers, politicians, scientists. Yes and, for the "Iron Curtain", where at least seen the Russian emissary KGB, were to be circulated without fear - because they do not perceived as Russian.

Demand in the West and has saved Rytheu after adjustment - when Russian publishers suddenly as conspiracy, ceased its print. From 1991 to 2001 not a single book came out earlier so popular author. Meanwhile, only one in Germany runs in one of his books published only reached several million. New novels Rytheu immediately translated into German, English and other languages. Thus, the novel "Dream in the early fog" - an unusual fate of a Canadian sailor John McLennan, abandoned countrymen and embodied friends and family on Chukotskoy land - came from withdrawing known Canadian writer Farley Moueta. "Pro Aboriginal Arctic thousands of books written by visitors from the south - Mouet said. -- Yuri Rytheu vyvernul fur coat inside out and wrote about how to relate to strangers peoples of the Arctic. Yuri - himself Chukchi and writes with passion and force of beauty world, which we, outsiders, remains not understand. The magnificent book ". Rytheu became a winner of the Italian and French literary prizes. And only in his homeland almost no published. Only when Abramovich became the master of Chukotka, he sponsored publications, but new books printed Rytheu small print runs and immediately taken in Anadyr.

Three years ago, when Rytheu semidesyatipyatiletie said, it is remembered. In media interviews and held a series of publications whose authors together expressed bewilderment: why the Russian publishers to bypass attention so famous and prolific writer? Rytheu, of course, could not answer that question. He simply worked - every day, and many stubbornly. He worked almost until the last days of his life.

Chief astronomer Roman Catholic Church reported that allows the existence of life on other planets.

In his article, published in the Vatican newspaper, Gabriel Fyunes writes that in space may dwell other reasonable creatures, created by God. Article published under the title "Inoplanetyane - my brothers", Russian media reported today BBC.

Iezuit from Chile Gabriel Fyunes heads the Vatican Observatory. He is an internationally recognized expert and collaborates with universities in different countries. According to the priest, search for alien life does not contradict faith in God. Gabriel Fyunes not exclude that some aliens, if they exist, could be free of original sin.

Replying to a question about harassment Inquisition Galileo Galilei, Gabriel Fyunes diplomatically writes that the errors were, but it is time to turn the page and draw a vision for the future.

Chief Vatican astronomer assures the reader that religion and science need each other.

The following year, Vatican satisfied with the conference, timed to 200 - anniversary of author Charles Darwin theory of evolution. Thus, the Roman Catholic Church seeks to smooth out some antagonism between science and the Church.

Note that the scheduled event was not the only example of this desire. Suffice it to recall that several years ago members of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences were appointed by the American nuclear physicist William Phillips, famous technology development of laser processing of atoms, and Indian Virabhadran Ramanatan, a pioneer in the field of research greenhouse effect.

Pontifical Academy of Sciences was established in Rome in 1603. Curiously, the first head of "Academy Rysey", as it was then called, was Galileo Galilei. Currently there 80 academicians. Pope appoints them personally on the recommendation of the existing members of the Academy. Scientists have become academicians for life, regardless of their religious or political beliefs.

President of the Academy - Professor, University of Rome La Sapienca and former head of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics Nicola Cabibbo.

As for the representatives of Vatican Observatory, it was repeatedly made remarkable statements. Its former director, American iezuit father George Koyn said several years ago that the theory of evolution does not reject "the need for God", on the contrary, it helps believers understand the attitude of the Creator to the universe as the caring father to his child.

Many in the Church shared "fear" that the theory of evolution is incompatible with the belief that the world was created under the "divine plan", and this leads to difficult relations between the Church and science, the scientist believes.

It should be noted that that those with their statements George Coyle entered into correspondence polemics with one of the most influential Catholic hierarchs - Archbishop of Vienna Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, who spoke with an article which claimed that the origin of species darvinovskaya theory based on faith in "unplanned process random changes and natural selection "is incompatible with the teachings of the Catholic Church.

According to George Koyna, "Science is absolutely neutral" in relation to the philosophical and theological conclusions that can be drawn from its discoveries, but this does not prevent believers to use scientific facts in order to better understand God. The theory of evolution not only compatible with Catholicism but also "offers us God created the universe, which has its own dynamics, and thus itself participates in the divine creation, - said Koyn. - God is working on the universe. At the same time it has own vitality, as a child. God does not interfere in its development constantly, he allows, participates, loves. "

George Koyn convinced that believers should learn modern scientific discoveries to "withdraw from the representations of God-dictator, God-designers, Newtonian God who created the world as watches and listens as they tikayut. Maybe God to better understand how loving parent That supports and encourages the world to its word. "

True, in 2006 Pope Benedict XVI has sent Koyna resigned. They say that this was precisely linked with the position held by astronomer in disputes about evolution. Sam pontifik present a consistent supporter of the idea of "smart idea", according to which life was created and developed thanks to the Creator.

Curiously recall in connection with the reasoning of aliens and of a draft Rosetta, the European Space Agency, posted in February 2004 in the universe with an unusual cargo ship - disk, which translated into many languages earth engraved the first three chapters of Genesis.

Automatic probe now after 6 years to reach comet Wirtanen, borozdyaschey space of the universe. Rosetta - the name of basalt stone, found by soldiers of Napoleon in Egypt in 1799. At the stone had been charted Egyptian hieroglyphs, relating to II in. Mr before. e. At the time, that letter was able to decrypt the founder of Egyptologists, the famous French scientist Francois Shampolonu.

By design sponsors, to the outside of the probe is attached disk with the text of the first three chapters of the book of Genesis. Faced comet Wirtanen, the probe landed directly at its nucleus. Thus, the disk with the text early chapters Old Testament along with the comet will begin an endless journey into space. The main scientific objective of the expedition - to search for evidence that life on Earth was brought in from outside.

The text of the Bible translated into a thousand languages of the planet, performed the largest linguists. Scientists argue that 50-90% of modern languages in this century will disappear and move into the category to which now belong to Egyptian hieroglyphs. So what can be hoped that more or perhaps less advanced than earthworks, brothers human beings can read a message from our planet and rejoice that they are not alone in the universe of infinite space.

In the Vatican's father found aliens

Faith in God does not contradict the possibility of the existence of "brothers aliens" who may be at a higher stage of development than people, believes the head of Vatican Observatory, 45 - year-iezuit priest Jose Gabriel Funes ...

"In my view, life on other planets is possible," - said Funes, who is also scientific adviser to Pope Benedict XVI. In an interview with Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore, as reported by Reuters, a priest from the Vatican Observatory Romano Funes said that no one can deny the hypothesis that there are establishing similar to the people, or even more developed than people: "In addition to diversity living beings on Earth, God could create other, even more reasonable substance. This does not contradict our faith, as we are not powerless to restrict the freedom of God to do. So why is we can not talk about the brothers-aliens? " -- He added.

The head of the Vatican Observatory, located in southern Rome, suggested that humanity can be "zabludshey sheep" in the universe. Funes believes that dialogue between religious leaders and scholars can significantly advance, if scientists will study the Bible more closely, and the clergy will monitor scientific developments.

ROC: brothers-in aliens believe only Catholics

The issue of aliens, the possibility of the existence of which is ready to accept the head Vatican Astronomical Observatory, nevazhen for the ROC, because is not relevant to its mission - saving the human soul, said Secretary for inter-Christian Relations Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate priest Igor Vyzhanov.

According to him, talk about aliens may be only "abstract and speculative" and therefore the question itself seems priest "idle curiosity". "And what really talking about? Here if indeed been a fact - landed spacecraft and from there went aliens - could then talk seriously about how the church relates to this" - said the representative of the Moscow Patriarchate in an interview with RIA Novosti .

Replying to a question whether preparations for the meeting with the newcomers in advance, Vyzhanov said that even now, mankind can not prepare for an earthquake or tsunami, which claimed thousands of lives, and wants to prepare for "any fantasy." He suggested that if brought together theologians - and the Orthodox and Catholic - to discuss the possibility of the existence of aliens from the perspective of the church, there will be many different views. "Some will say: how can we restrict the actions of God? Others will argue that the terrestrial civilization is a unique creation of God" - said the agency interlocutor.

With regard to the various theories of extraterrestrial civilizations with biblical teachings about the creation and history of the world, according to Vyzhanova, "The Bible is not obliged to describe the technical details of creation of the world." "The Holy Scripture has its own logic and its goal - human communion with God, bringing rights to God, the salvation of souls. The Bible does not say about the molecules and atoms, on television, Internet and mobile phones, which we enjoy today. The Bible - it is not channel Discovery ", - the ROC representative concluded.

Characteristically, that today the British Ministry of Defense to declassify documents to monitor the unidentified flying objects (UFO) over the past 30 years. In accordance with the Law on Freedom of Information collected in the last 30 years, attention will be transferred to the British National Archives. The documents contain detailed descriptions of UFO observations in different parts of the United Kingdom, witness statements, pictures and charts.

According to an elderly gentleman, he was delivered to the spacecraft, where aliens asked him various questions about his age and other biographical details.

The popularity of the UFO topic in Britain was so great that the Ministry of Defence in 1979 was forced to prepare a special report to discuss the topic in the House of Lords of British Parliament. "Let me assure the House that Her Majesty's Government had no contacts with representatives of extraterrestrial worlds," - reads a quotation from the report, which did a representative of the Government in Parliament, Lord Streboldzhi.

On the site you can see the British Defense Ministry also brief descriptions of observations of unidentified flying objects over the past ten years. Only in 2007 in the military department received about 200 reports from eyewitnesses unexplained atmospheric phenomena. Although the Ministry properly record all cases of simple observation British unidentified flying objects themselves to the military are quite sceptical. "Independent experts have concluded that all allegations of so-called UFOs facing realistic explanations, such as aircraft lights or natural phenomena", - the communication department. The British military has assured that it does not show any interest or direct involvement in cases involving UFOs, and does not explain how the existence of extraterrestrial life forms.
