What are the Knights of Columbus?
Thanks to the efforts of Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church in New Haven and some of his parishioners, the Connecticut state legislature on March 29, 1882, officially chartered the Knights of Columbus as a fraternal benefit society. The Order is still true to its founding principles of charity, unity and fraternity.
The Knights was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works.
The history of the Order shows how the foresight of Father Michael J. McGivney, whose cause for sainthood is being investigated by the Vatican, brought about what has become the world's foremost Catholic fraternal benefit society. The Order has helped families obtain economic security and stability through its life insurance, annuity and long-term care programs, and has contributed time and energy worldwide to service in communities.
The Knights of Columbus has grown from several members in one council to more than 14,000 councils and 1.8 million members throughout the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, Poland, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Cuba, Guatemala, Guam and Saipan.
Natural enemies of a horse include bears, wolves, big wild cats like mountain lions, coyotes, foxes, vultures, feral/stray dogs (or any dog for that matter), humans (yes, horses DO consider us predators, especially by wild horses), parasites, biting insects like horse flies, and abiotic things like flood waters, thunderstorms, fire, wind (horses hate wind), and even the sun especially on really hot, sunny days when a horse has to spend his time in the shade and not out grazing.
Of course what a horse fears or considers an enemy really depends on the individual horse and what he has or has not been habituated to. Any object that is out of place is considered a threat, or something new that a trainer does to a horse is regarded by the horse with high suspicion.
Other answers:A horse has many natural enemies. A horse is a prey animal, which puts it on a lower rung of the food chain. Most any predator could kill a horse that was singled out. Though horses are very strong and fast animals a pack of wolves or even wild dogs could easily kill a lone horse. Horses traveling in herds are much less likely to be picked off by predatory animals.Flies. But otherwise it depends on the horse some horses may not like dogs or cats or even other horses. They can also be afraid of flags or a certain object.
The domestic horse has very few natural enemies but one of the most dangerous things our horses face is barbed wire fencing or inadequate fencing. Barbed wire fencing should never be used with horses. And broken or rundown fences that allow horses to get out into traffic claims horse and human lives every day.
The enemies of feral horses in the United States are cougars or mountain lions, lack of food and water, and humans. There are very few areas left in the world where horses run wild.
What are other names for knights?
Some other names for knights include cavaliers, chevaliers, and hidalgo.
Why were the Norman knights better than the saxon warriors?
I wold not say they were better, in fact, the Saxon warriors are probably far superior. But in the Battle of Hastings, the reason why the Normans probably won was due to the fact that the Saxon army had just marched from Stamford Bridge in the north after defeating the Vikings and Harold Haldrada, all the way to Hastings in the far south. I also think the Saxons loss is attributed to the Normans new weapon brought to the table, the crossbow.
Where do medieval knights live?
Medieval knights typically lived in castles or manor houses provided by their lord. These residences often included living quarters, stables, training grounds, and defensive structures to protect against attacks. Knights would also travel extensively to participate in tournaments, battles, and other events.

It is estimated to have killed 25-30 million people, resulting in massive population loss and social upheaval. Symptoms included fever, chills, weakness, and eventually led to painful black swellings (buboes) in the lymph nodes, giving the disease its name.

Ninja didn't wear armor; however, some people, such as Stephen Hayes in his book Mystic Arts of the Ninja, have suggested that ninja sometimes wore the armor of a samurai as a disguise. There is no evidence that historical ninja limited themselves to all-black suits either. In modern times, camouflage based upon dark colors such as dark red and dark blue can be used to give better concealment at night. Some cloaks may have been reversible: dark colored on the outside for concealment during the night, and white colored on the inside for concealment in the snow. Some ninja may have worn the same armor or clothing as samurai or Japanese peasants. The stereotypical ninja that continually wears easily identifiable black outfits (shinobi shozoku) comes from the Kabuki Theater. Prop handlers would dress in black and move props around on the stage. The audience would obviously see the prop handlers, but would pretend they were invisible. Building on that willing suspension of disbelief, ninja characters also came to be portrayed in the theater as wearing similar all-black suits. This either implied to the audience that the ninja were also invisible, or simply made the audience unable to tell a ninja character from many prop handlers until the ninja character distinguished himself from the other stagehands with a scripted attack or assassination. Ninja boots (jiki-tabi)like much of the rest of Japanese footwear from the time, have a split-toe design that improves gripping and wall/rope climbing. They are soft enough to be virtually silent. Ninja also attached special spikes to the bottoms of the boots called ashiko. More of these spikes were attached to make the ninja tracks look less human, with these spikes being called ashiaro. The actual head covering suggested by Sōke Masaaki Hatsumi (in his book The Way of the Ninja: Secret Techniques) utilizes what is referred to as sanjaku-tenugui, (three-foot cloths). It involves the tying of two three-foot cloths around the head in such a way as to make the mask flexible in configuration but securely bound. Some wear a long robe, most of the time dark blue (紺色 kon'iro) for stealth.
What are some rules for dissecting?
1) Wear gloves. This avoids contamination from you to what you are dissecting, or from what you are dissecting to you.
2) Go slowly. This decreases that chances of you destroying any organs that may be important for examination.
3) Wear eye protection. Fluids in the dissected body can very easily be spread or splashed.
4) Have a guide. Bring a sheet of paper or a book that shows an internal diagram of the creature you are dissecting so you can identify the organs.
5) Refresh the preservatives. After every dissection, coat the dissected body in a fresh layer of preserving solution to prevent decay.
6) Store dissected body in preservatives. The body must be submerged within a plastic or glass container in preserving fluids to avoid all chances of decay, and stored in a cool place.
7) Close tightly. Make sure the container holding the body is airtight. Preserving fluids are toxic to humans and animals, and a tight seal prevents further contamination.
Where is the knights templar treasure?
It is thought that these ships carried the vast wealth of the Templars, but in truth, they could carry but a fraction of their treasure if the tales about their wealth are reasonably accurate. The ultimate destination is unknown and it is unknown if these ships even made it to their destination. However, it would be a reasonable assumption that these ships made landfall in England. At this point in the story, nobody can give an authoritative answer to the question of "where does the treasure reside?"
Speculation regarding Rosslyn and Oak Island point to the strongest possibilities regarding the final resting place of the Templar treasure. There was significant engineering done at Oak Island and the investigation there has destroyed as much as it has uncovered. Only time will tell if anything remains, but I doubt that anyone would go through such an elaborate hoax.
With regard to Rosslyn Chapel, the builders of the chapel were known supporters of the Templars -i am editing this note (the builders are probably the freemasons) - However, nobody has ever found anything at Rosslyn and many consider the chapel to be a "key" to where the real treasure is concealed. Personally, I believe that the treasure that left in those ships was used to support the members of the order in the purchase of land, supplies, and other needs. Considering the requirements for a number of dispossessed Knights on the run from France and the Church, gold would be a necessity.
I believe that the majority of the Templar fortune never left France. To be sure, it was concealed from the French monarchy, but the Templars did not have the time necessary to move it out of France. Ultimately, this is my answer to your question. As the treasure has remained undiscovered for some time, one could assume that it is well hidden.
MoreThis next information is answerd by a differant person,But the free masions were involed they were a scottish cruside who let the templar knights join there group so maybe the treasure could of being smuggeled out of France to Scotland but this is my opinion on the place were it is hidden.
Or there is word that the treasure was brought from France into England and to a place called Nova Scotia not in the actuwal country but to an island of the coast of Nove Scotia nobody nows which island but i bet the treasure will be found one day. Its not just a small amount OS gold but treasure beyond your wildest imaganation! I dream of discovering the knights templer treasure but i now that there is many other people that have atemptad to find it and there is no way that i could ever beat anyone to the greatest treasure of all time!
MoreRefering to the first paragraph above where the answerer says there were 3 Templar ships, records show that there were in fact 18 Templar ships at La Rochelle harbour on October 12th 1307, but the next day they had vanished.the answer bove me seems quite complex however i believe there to be a simpler answer to question, though no one can be certain.
okay so 4 knights from temple dinsley, hertfordshire were arrested and taken to hertford castle in the early 1300's. two were taken to tower of London and they were all killed at some point. this was done on the orders of kind edward ll because he believed that they were hiding treasure from him. so he had them arrested, but when they refused to tell him it's whereabouts he had them killed. so many believe that the answer is simple. the treasure which is believed to be gold, silver, jewels, and possibly even the holy grail which Jesus drunk out of at the last supper (they apparently found this on a trip to Jerusalem) is likely to have buried underneath an oak tree in temple dinsley, where the knights who hid it lived, so that they could keep watch that no one tried to find it. another theory is that they actually buried it in temple dinsley deep deep under the ground and then created a pond over the top of where it was, to make it more difficult to get to. temple dinsley today is a village called Preston in hertfordshire and there is a large pond there, however the pond that the treasure is supposedly hidden underneath has been dug over, but no one knows exactly where it was. the spot where the treasure may have been buried unfortuantely has an old building on it which is now a school.
The whole truth will almost certainly never come to light. Much of the Temple assets in France found their way into the Royal treasury. Phillip the Fair needed the money to pay off a crushing national debt. Chances are that much of it from outside France went to the Hospitallers along with their real estate and much of the membership. Some of those assets may simply have been stolen or individual members may have removed assets with the intent to restore them to the Temple at some future date.
Neither is there any documented or archeological evidence that the Templar Fleet previously in harbor at New Rochelle ever reached Scotland nor that it carried the so called, "Templar Treasure." No hard evidence of any kind exists that any ship of any description carrying even one Templar Knight or anyone connected with the Temple ever reached North America. In fact, the so-called Zeno map does not mention the Temple at all. Moreover, the map has been shown to be a forgery. No evidence of any description supports speculation that the Templars ever possessed any of the, "treasures of the Temple of Solomon."
Likewise, there is no documented connection between the Templars and the Oak Island Money Pit. In fact, much of the speculation about the pit has been put to rest. For example, the only evidence there is for the existence of those much discussed buried timbers, etc. is complete hearsay and the so called tunnels that introduced sea water to the pit are not tunnels at all. All that water seeped in through naturally occurring features. Oh yes, there is one other thing. There is absolutely no evidence that Henry I Sinclair Earl of Orkney ever visited Greenland or any part of North America.
Conversely, there is ample evidence that many of the authors who are building up their own portfolios with wild speculation concerning the Templar Treasure or the purported mystical properties of the Temple are earning a substantial living by selling books to people who want to believe these things whether they are true or not. They are simply following in the footsteps of the, "Eric von Daniken" books from the seventies and all that nonsense about Aztec crystal skulls having mystical properties. When you stop to think about it, those books are the perfect con game. There is no law against publishing nonsense or selling the books that contains that nonsense. Buying a book is a legal transaction in nearly every case. Believing silly nonsense is a personal prerogative unless one does real harm as result.
The bottom line is that all those stories about the Templars having owned the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail and the True Cross are just that, stories. They may be amusing but they are not factual.

Measured from its base, the tallest would be Mauna Kea in Hawaii, which like the adjacent Mauna Loa has a deep seafloor base on the Hawaiian hotspot.
But the highest above sea level is the Nevado Ojos del Salado ("snow-covered salty eyes"), a stratovolcano in the Andes mountains, about 600 km (370 miles) north of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Americas. Ojos de Salado is 6893 meters (22,615 ft) in height. However, it has not been active since approximately 700 AD.
The charger would typically be a larger and more powerful breed of horse, such as a destrier or a war horse. These breeds were specifically bred and trained for battle, with the strength and speed necessary for carrying a fully armored knight into combat.
Adam "became father to sons and daughters." (Genesis 5:4) So Cain took one of his sisters or perhaps one of his nieces as a wife. Later, God's Law to the Israelites did not permit the marriage of a fleshly brother and sister.-Leviticus 18:9.
